Chapter 21: Anxious Waiting

I dragged my backpack to the lake, and I also brought the chemical protective suit that Molly had prepared, a total of two sets, and I guessed that Molly was actually planning to go to the island with Uncle Wei.

There was a small boat parked by the lake, and Uncle Wei and I helped each other to climb onto the boat, the boat was very dirty, and it was obviously unattended for a long time.

"Uncle Wei, have you rowed before?" I asked.

There was only one pulp in the boat, and there was also a long bamboo pole, and I frowned when I looked at the small island in the middle of the lake in the distance.

"There's going to be a first time for everything. Uncle Wei smiled and picked up the oar.

My rowing level is at the level of love, and I have taken my ex-girlfriend to the park to row before, and I am still quite nervous on such a big lake.

I stood at the stern of the boat with a long bamboo pole in my hand, and tried to use the bamboo pole to dip the water according to the impression on TV, and I cooperated with Uncle Wei for a while, and the boat finally walked slowly in the direction of the island in the middle of the lake after a few turns in the same place.

"Uncle Wei, this bamboo pole can really paddle, it's quite convenient. "I can't help but feel proud.

"So you have to be brave enough to try everything. Uncle Wei laughed.

The job of rowing was easy to do, but it was actually very tiring, and I gritted my teeth and persevered, and finally I couldn't hold on to it halfway through rowing, and I couldn't lift my arms.

"No, Uncle Wei, you have to rest. I sat down.

"Fortunately, there is no wind today, otherwise we are afraid that the boat will capsize at this level. Uncle Wei said with a smile.

"yes. "I wiped the sweat from my head.

"You have to practice your bones, and you're not as good as an old man like me. Uncle Wei shook his head and said.

"Practice, I'll exercise when I go back this time. I breathed.

Uncle Wei rowed the boat slowly, the lake was calm, there was only one boat on the big lake, I put my hand into the lake and teased it, there was a sound of water.

"Uncle Wei, it's a pity that this lake is so barren. "I don't want to be too lonely and have nothing to say.

Uncle Wei didn't answer me, he raised his eyes and just stared at Panlong Island, which was getting closer and closer!

I also closed my mouth, Panlong Island was getting closer and closer, and my heart was heavy.

The last trace of wind stopped, the air seemed to freeze, the whole lake seemed to be frozen, and the boat slowly approached the shore.

"Bang!" the boat gang made a noise against the wooden planks of the dock.

* It's silent! The whole island is dead silent, and there is not a single sound!

"Xiao An, I'm going, you just don't get off the boat here. Uncle Wei pulled the clothes off his body and stood up.

"Uncle Wei......" I called.

I wanted to say: I'll go with you!, but the words didn't come out of my mouth, the atmosphere on the island was so weird, and inexplicable fear locked my throat!

"It's okay, don't worry. Uncle Wei smiled at me and jumped off the boat.

The hull of the ship slammed down!

"Uncle Wei, chemical protection suit!" I screamed as if I woke up.

"No!" Uncle Wei waved his hand, then turned his head and looked at me again: "Xiao An, remember my words!"

Uncle Wei turned around and left!

I sat in the bow of the boat, and Uncle Wei's figure moved along the dock to the depths of the island, turning a pile of stacks of timber and disappearing......

I reached out and pulled a cigarette out of my pocket, lit it several times before lighting the lighter, and lit the cigarette and took a hard puff.

The smoke mixed with the coolness rushes down the trachea and into the lungs!

It was only after a cigarette that I calmed down a little.

Unconsciously, I looked at the island, the location of the pier could not be seen very far, my vision was covered by some debris, and everything seemed panicked as far as my eyes could see, as if a frozen picture.

I saw a hacksaw cut into the plank, the hacksaw embedded in the plank, and next to the plank was a flipped kettle, and several tea pots. On a shelf there was a fishing net being mended, and there were tools for repairing it next to it, and I even saw a few pairs of old shoes that had been clearly washed, so they were dried on a rope with clips.

Images flashed through my mind, chaotic crowds, shouting, struggling, staff maintaining order, crowding, pushing, despair......

I can't think about it anymore!

Time also seems to freeze, I look up at the sky from time to time, and raise my hand to look at my watch, it is too slow, too tormenting!

Suddenly, a rapid phone rang!

I was startled and pulled out my phone to see that it was Molly's number.

"Where are you?" said Molly, her voice short.

"I'm ...... on board"

"Uncle Wei! Is he on the island?"

"Yes, I've been up for a while. ”

"Row the boat back! I command you!" Molly's voice was a little angry.

I just hung up.

Molly hit many times in a row, and I hung up directly, and now at this time, all I can do is listen to Uncle Wei's words.

Finally, it was two o'clock in the afternoon, and Uncle Wei still didn't show up, and I was a little unstable!

I took out my mobile phone and hesitated for a long time to call Uncle Wei, who had specially explained that he would not let me call him.

The phone rang several times and was answered!

"Xiao An. Uncle Wei's voice was a little panting: "I found it, I found the reason, and I'll be back in a while." ”

"Uncle Wei, you're scared me to death!" I almost cried.

Uncle Wei's phone call made my heart fall back into my stomach, I was so excited, Uncle Wei is fine!

I immediately called Molly.

"Mr. Mo, don't worry, I've talked to Uncle Wei, and we can come back before dark. ”

On the other end of the line, I could clearly hear Molly breathe a sigh of relief.

I relaxed, waited patiently, I had confidence in Uncle Wei, he said that I found the reason, I was very excited, and I also wanted to know what was going on on the island?

My patience lasted for an hour, and then it was gone, it was too long, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was going down at six o'clock!

Before I could pull out the phone, Molly's call came first.

"Are you back?"

"Not yet, Uncle Wei hasn't come back yet. I answered honestly.

"What's going on, what time is it? Molly said urgently.

"Don't worry, I'll ask. ”

Hanging up Molly's phone, I dialed Uncle Wei's phone again.

The phone kept ringing, it went through! But no one answered!

I dialed it over and over again, but no one answered, and my heart sank little by little......

Finally I stopped.

I took out a cigarette, lit a fire, and took a slow puff......

I took one last puff on my cigarette and dialed Molly's phone.

"Mr. Mo, there is something I want to ask you. I said.

"You say. ”

"I didn't have parents since I was a child, I was raised by my uncle and aunt, I don't have any other thoughts, I just want to be able to repay them, if you can this wish, can you help me......"

"Anton, what do you want to do!" Molly's voice suddenly trembled.

"Uncle Wei may have had an accident......"

"Don't go, you're ...... back"

"Mr. Mo, please. ”

I hung up and put my phone on the board.

The phone rang over and over again, and I seemed to see Molly's anxious look, and I carefully put on my chemical protective suit.

"Molly, I've finally won you once!" I said to myself.
