Chapter 134: Under the starry river on a moonlit night, the island is white sand
"Whew.... Grandpa! I caught a lot of fish today! enough to eat for a while!"
Overseas, there is an uninhabited island, this island is really small, not even as big as the private islands of some rich people, just a few square kilometers of small places.
However, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. From fishing boats that cast nets into the sea to wooden huts that shelter from the wind and rain, everything is available.
At this moment, a young man with an Asian face, with strong muscles, pulled a fishing net with both hands, and a large fishing net was wrapped in a large number of fish.
The young man smiled happily at the fruitful result, and exerted all his strength to eat milk, and finally pulled all the fish from this large net ashore, and sat on the beach panting for breath.
The young man had bronzed skin, but not as deep, and looked like he had recently sunburned. He looked eighteen or nineteen years old, his smile was hearty, and his spirit exuded a sense of innocence, and he didn't seem to be sad at all. This is not normal, a person, at this age, most of them will have some trivial worries, but this young man seems to have no worries, as if ..... Nothing to remember.
"Ade! Who let you out! The injury is not healed! Hurry into the house! Sneak out to fish every day!"
At this moment, in the center of the island, an earth-shattering roar rang out! A tall European bearded man roared loudly in the direction of Ade, who looked to be at least fifty or sixty years old, but his voice was full of energy, and he did not look old at all, and at this time he was carrying two thick logs in his arms, and four or five on his shoulders, as if he was carrying building materials.
"Don't be angry, grandpa, don't you want to help you share the burden..."
The young man named Ade shrugged his shoulders, dragged the fishing net, and walked in the direction of the big man.
Under the sun's rays, the beach becomes white and shining, and the scales in the fishing nets also reflect the sunlight, fluttering twice from time to time. And the young man named Ade, sweaty, but smiling heartily. On his chest, there was a large burn, as if it had been imprinted by a soldering iron. And in the very center of the burn, there was a bullet hole..... Just a few millimeters off the heart.
"Okay, don't sneak out again!"
Dahan snatched the fishing net from Ade's hand with one hand and resisted it on his shoulder.
"Come into the house and rest, what if the wound is ruptured!
Dahan piled all the wood on his arm on the ground, apparently planning to build a new warehouse or something, and the rest of the broken wood was firewood.
"Old stubborn! I'm not afraid that your old arms and legs will be tired, in a few years, I will be going to support you, how can I get familiar with life before you can't move?"
Ade moved his arm, as if he didn't intend to listen to the big man, and turned his head to help chop firewood.
"Tsk, you kid, you really can't speak! I can't move? Don't say a few years! Even if you can't move, I won't be able to move!"
The old man smiled and slapped Ade's skull, and Ade also laughed, and the grandfather and grandson seemed to have a very good relationship.
In this way, the old man no longer stopped Ade, and let him help, anyway, the wound seems to be almost healed, young man, it's okay to move more.
The two of them, one old and one young, were busy until the evening when they were drying fish and nets, and the other was chopping trees and chopping firewood.
"Crackling.... Crackling...."
At night, the indisputable island is not stained with earthly fireworks, the stars hang in the sky, and the sunset reflects the smoke. The old man and Ade lit the fire, and from time to time they added firewood, and the sparks fluttered in all directions, making a crackling sound.
At this time, Ade and the old man were skewered on wooden sticks one by one, and beside them, there was a small jar, which was the sea salt that the old man dried with seawater.
"Come, child, grandpa's roast is ready, you eat this, give me yours. The old man saw that the fish in his hand was already cooked, so he reached out and took out a little sea salt in a small jar, sprinkled it on it, and handed it to Ade. And the fish in Ade's hand is still not cooked on one side, looking at his unfamiliar method of grilling fish, he doesn't look like a person who has lived on the island for a long time.
"Don't, grandpa, you can eat your own, I'll bake it myself." ”
Ade waved his hand, a little stubborn, not believing that he couldn't bake well.
"Hey, you kid and I'm stubborn! You've got a few toasts!"
The old man looked at a few charred and blackened grilled fish beside Ade with some distress, and some people believed that it was charcoal leftover.
"I won't give it to you!"
Seeing that his grandfather was a little anxious, Ade's naughty mind suddenly came up, and he shook his tongue at the old man, took the half-roasted fish and a burning firewood, and ran away, roasting while running.
"Stop, you kid!"
Seeing this, the old man chased after him, and he also carried the fish that had been grilled in his hand.
Under the moonlit night and the starry river, the island is white sand. The stars and moon are mottled and the shadows of the trees are fluttering, and the grandparents and grandchildren are happy.
Ade and the old man, old and young, chased after me around the bonfire, laughing constantly.
After a long time, Ade finally got tired of running, and the old man didn't even breathe.
"Whew.... Don't run, don't run, don't run!
Ade handed the fish in his hand to the old man, he had just finished chasing, and the condition looked good, at least much better than those pieces of charcoal.
"Grandpa has always grilled fish for me to eat, this is my own grilled fish!
Ade's face was full of smiles, and the old man looked at the grilled fish handed by Ade, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.
"Eat it, taste it!"
Ade looked at the old man expectantly, but the old man looked at the half-baked fish in his hand in a daze, feeling a little nostalgic.
"Click...."
The old man brought the fish to his mouth and took a bite of it.
This fish... It's really not good, the scales are not peeled clean, the skin is a little burnt, but the meat inside is still undercooked.
However, the old man cried, crying silently, crying expressionlessly.
He swallowed the fish one by one, tears more precious than diamonds, and the ravines on his face were swept without money.
"Grandpa..... What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?"
When Ade saw his grandfather crying, he was immediately startled, and thought that what he had made was unpalatable.
"No.... Ade, it's delicious. ”
The old man ate the last piece of fish in one bite, threw the remaining wooden branch on the ground, and hugged Ade in his arms.
"It was the most delicious meal I've ever had. ”
"Ade.... Thank you. ”
The old man patted Ade's head, his voice didn't even have a hint of trembling, but tears flowed everywhere.
"Grandpa today.... Seems a little different?"
Ade was a little overwhelmed at this point, he and his grandfather had been living on the island for many days, and until then, they had been adrift at sea.
Grandpa never shed a single tear no matter what the situation, and even, when he was bitten by a shark in the water, he was never seen to have this reaction.
"Okay! Ade will make fish! After that, Ade will make all the fish for grandpa!"
After a few moments, the old man let go of Ade, laughed and patted him on the shoulder, and there was still a tear in his eyes.
"Small!"
Ade also smiled when he saw that his grandfather was back to normal.
The grandfather and grandson quickly ate the fish, two for Ade, and five for the old man, and both of them ate to death.
Then they put out the fire and lay down on the beach, looking up at the stars.
The sea breeze at night has brought a hint of coolness, without the obstruction of the dirty air of the city, and the starry sky is completely reflected in the pupils of the two people.
"It's so beautiful.... Total feeling.... The sky I've seen before isn't as beautiful as it is now. ”
Ade was a little stunned, shocked by the boundless galaxy. He had lost his memories of the past, and he couldn't remember what the sky had looked like. I only remember that when I woke up, I was already at sea, and the people in front of me told me that they were grandchildren, hiding from the world.
At that time, Ade's chest wound had not healed, and he relied on the old man to take care of him, so he successfully supported himself on the island. After that, the two seemed to be safe, and in recent days, no one has been chasing them.
"Grandpa, you said someone was chasing us.... That..... My mom and dad are them.... Are they all dead? ”
Ade looked at the starry night sky, and the bright moon and the starlight echoed each other, which was beautiful.
The old man was also lying on the beach, not far from Ade.
He heard Ade's voice and was silent for a long time, not answering.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that the old man closed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.
"Grandpa.... are sinners.... The kind of sinner who is dead and celebrates the whole world...."
The old man's eyes were closed, and he said lightly, and Ade also listened quietly.
"If one day, grandpa is cornered, I will tell you everything. When the time comes......"
The old man was halfway through his words, and choked ..... words "You will kill me", but he couldn't say it. He believes that Ade is the most qualified person in the world to take his life.
"When the time comes.... I will kill all those who threaten us.... I'll protect you. ”
"Grandpa. ”
The old man was silent, but Ade was the first to speak. The old man's eyes opened suddenly, full of disbelief.
"But... What if you knew the truth and hated me like crazy?"
The old man's voice trembled a little, and he involuntarily raised his hand and put it on his face, not knowing whether he wanted to cover the moonlight or tears.
"I'm too young to understand that much. I don't know what hatred is, and I don't know what madness is. ”
Ade smiled and raised his hand to grab at the moon, as if trying to hold it.
"All I know is that without my grandfather, I would have died. All I know, Grandpa, is genuinely good to me. Others, I don't know, and I don't want to know. ”
"Thank you, Grandpa Arthur. ”
Ade propped himself up and stood up. Arthur removed his big hand that was covering his face and sat up.
"No..... Child... Thank you...."
Arthur turned his back to Ade and whispered a thank you.
"Huh, what did you say, grandpa?"
Arthur's voice was so small that Ade couldn't hear it.
"It's nothing, it's going to start training tomorrow!
Arthur laughed and bounced up, patted Ade's shoulder, and gave him a thumbs up.
He had already made up his mind to protect the child as a paltry compensation.
He is going to give it strength, enough power to protect himself even if he dies.
