Chapter 121: Eva Jeff

In the northern part of the Indian Ocean, the Tenth Degree Strait of the Bay of Bengal in the east, the Indian Nicobar Islands are about 800 kilometers from the mainland of the Indian Federation and nearly 200 kilometers from Sumatra in the south.

The Nicobar Islands are composed of 11 small islands, located close to the equator, with a temperature of more than 33 degrees all year round, of which, only two islands of Greater Nicobar and Little Nicobar are inhabited, with a total population of less than 30,000 people, most of whom live on Great Nicobar Island, and most of the local natives are short in stature, dark-skinned, and live by hunting and fishing.

Little Nicobar is a sparsely populated island of only 700 people, and on such an inaccessible island, there is a family that is very different because they are not locals.

There are 3 people in the family, two men and one woman, one of whom is a pair of twins, sister Eva and brother Jeff.

The 15-year-olds, of Latvian descent who fled the war during World War II, have lived on the island for four generations, starting with their great-grandfather, but their families were killed in a tsunami two years ago, leaving the siblings behind.

The other man, Mark, was a yellow man who was picked up from the sea by his younger brother Jeff, whose name and age were unknown.

Because, this man has amnesia.

Jeff found Mark two months ago, when he was returning to Little Nicobar Island from the houseboat, in the shallow sea near the island, he found something floating on the water, he thought it was a big fish, and he was full of joy to approach it and saw that it was a person.

At that time, Mark, defenseless, was floating on his back in the sea, and Jeff saw that he was still breathing, so he dragged him back.

Mark was in a coma for half a month before waking up, during which Eva took care of him.

When she woke up, Eva saw that he didn't remember anything, so she named him Mark.

Jeff and Eva have been living on Jeff's job at the houseboat since their family was killed, when they were only 13 years old, and the houseboat is not their own, but belongs to a wealthy man on the island named Dela.

Della has about 50 houseboats in his hands, which are used to provide for people like Jeff who don't own a houseboat to support themselves by exploiting their catch.

For most of the year, Jeff spent most of the year alone on a houseboat far from Little Nicobar Island, eating and sleeping in the open air, fishing for a living, and keeping the fish in the houseboat, where Della would regularly send people to pick it up and transport it to Great Nicobar Island to sell to the merchants for a high profit, while Della only paid Jeff some food, just enough to feed his siblings.

Jeff didn't want his sister to suffer in the houseboat with him, so he endured a lonely and boring job alone, but he had to go home twice a month to bring his sister some food he had saved.

Eva, on the other hand, supports her family by weaving fishing nets at home every day, and her life is extremely difficult.

During the time that Mark was unconscious, Jeff had already returned to the houseboat, and there was no food to eat when he was not working.

Mark was left alone by Eva, a 15-year-old girl, smart and kind, who would squeeze out more than half of her meagre ration every day.

It is said to be rations, but in fact it is fish soup with some coarse grains, which is the cheapest food on the island, and the pasta and meat can only be enjoyed by people like Lord Dela.

Jeff works for Draa at sea, and he will get some coarse grains that are as black as the dirt and difficult to swallow, and he is not willing to eat this coarse grain by himself, so he needs to save it and bring it to his sister.

Therefore, although the siblings are 15 years old, they look much thinner than their peers due to long-term malnutrition, and some people will believe that they are only eight or nine years old.

Eva took good care of Mark, and the little coarse grain she had was mixed with fish soup and fed to him, while she starved, but after half a month, Mark finally woke up from a coma.

Mark's skin is delicate and fair, not at all like a person who has lived by the sea for a long time, so Eva speculates that he must have been shipwrecked or encountered pirate tourists, but these are unknown, because Mark has no memory of his past at all, and has no impression at all.

Although Mark has lost his memory, it does not mean that he has a problem with his IQ, on the contrary, he is very intelligent.

By the time Jeff returned to the island, Mark was able to communicate with him in simple Nicobar language, which is the common language spoken on both large and small Nicobar Islands.

In Eva's opinion, Mark is very handsome, she has never seen anyone other than Nicobar since she was a child, except for her younger brother Jeff, of course.

Mark is tall and has beautiful muscles, and Eva never imagined that humans would have such a perfect body.

So, when Mark was sitting alone in the open space outside the treehouse, she would weave fishing nets while secretly watching Mark.

In fact, when taking care of Mark, Eva once secretly touched the muscles on his body, and they were really strong.

A 15-year-old girl has reached the age of Sichun.

After Mark woke up, he often sat alone on the beach in a daze, and this went on for a week, and he kept thinking, who is he and where did he come from?

Memories are like being sealed in a bottle, and sometimes it feels like it's so close to the truth that you can even touch the edge of it, but every now and then, you will have a splitting headache, and your headache will not be relieved until you stop thinking.

In the end, he decided to give up!

Mark weaves fishing nets with Eva every day, starts fishing at the beach, chops wood in the nearby mountains, drinks fish soup for three meals a day, waits for Jeff to bring food back from the sea once a month, and listens to Eva every night about what happened to her and Jeff since they were young.

Every time it was Eva who said, and Mark listened.

Because, Mark's past is a blank slate, and he doesn't know what to say...

This life is very simple, day after day, but Eva is very content, and when her family is alive, they have not been integrated into the life of Little Nicobar Island, far different from the faces and beliefs of the local natives, so that the inhabitants of the island see them as different, so Eva has no friends since she was a child.

For two years since her parents were killed in the tsunami and Jeff went out fishing, Eva has been living alone and lonely, which is more painful for a 15-year-old girl than the lack of material life.

Mark's arrival changed the situation, and she had friends and listeners to talk to.
