Banks didn't make it to the island of her dreams. When the old shipowner woke up, he found that one of the two beautiful women on his ship had disappeared and the other was missing, which made him confused. However, when the Tiger King's gloomy face told him that the beautiful little girl lying on the boat had sacrificed her own life to save him, the old shipowner, who had been trembling with fear, was no longer afraid, and he stood up in defiance of the Tiger King's threatening gaze, and gently crouched next to Banks's corpse. A gentle kiss on her forehead.

"How dare you do this!" the Tiger King did not expect the old shipowner to make such a move, and he looked very angry. On the small ship, the Tiger Dynasty swooped away with the old captain. As long as the Tiger King can successfully hit the target, then this old captain is certain to die. And it was originally the Tiger King's superb skills, plus it was just a small boat. Whether or not you want to kill this old shipowner who has no power to resist in front of the Tiger King depends on whether the Tiger King is willing or not.

I don't know what's going on in the tiger's head, but I don't want the old shipowner who sacrificed his life to pull him back from the line of death so quickly back into the arms of death, so I stopped the tiger king and said angrily, "What do you want to do?

The Tiger King, who was still in mid-air, fell back to the ground and looked at me indignantly and asked, "Do you want to watch this girl's body be defiled by a bad old man like this?"

I didn't speak, because the old shipowner did. "Monster, I didn't defile her. I was saying goodbye to her. ”

"Farewell?" The Tiger King was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Lone has never heard of such a way of saying goodbye. ”

"Because it is the custom of the people who beg for food from above. If someone dies on a ship, everyone on board is to kiss him on the forehead to say goodbye. That way he wouldn't be dragged into the ocean. You know, those of us who live in the ocean are most dependent on the ocean, but what we are most afraid of is also the ocean. We will never allow our bodies to sink into the ocean. Even if he died, he had to be loaded back to shore in a boat. ”

I see, I nodded silently. Quietly watched as the old shipowner took out a new gray blanket from the cabin to cover Banks' body. "Thank you, little girl. The old shipowner's voice trembled, and he whispered to Banksy as if he were talking to his own daughter. "We've been together for a few days, and I didn't expect you to be gone as soon as I woke up this time. The world is impermanent, the world is impermanent. As he spoke, the old shipowner's eyes actually flowed with muddy tears. "This world is like this, it is always very ruthless to good people. But it can make people who are full of evil live a long life. ”

The Tiger King didn't realize that the old shipowner had inadvertently circumvented himself as well. He, like the old shipowner, was completely caught up in his memories, and so was I.

In the long years, the time I spent with Banksy was not very long in my life. Even some of my enemies have been dreaming of me for decades. But there is no being that impresses me as much as Banksys, like Firestorm and Iron Mountain, and as impressive as Redding. I don't know why I went to the Courage Line on a whim to investigate the so-called truth. But now it seems that everything has an answer. That is to let me know these pure human beings, let me know the common characteristic of these human beings, that is, to survive, to live.

Everyone has everyone's persistence. This is true for Reading, it is true for Firestorm and Iron Mountain, and it is also true for Banks, who just left me. Although the goals that supported them to survive were different, it can be said that they all achieved but ultimately failed. Reading, who wasted the best chance to survive because of his own obstinacy, Firestorm and Iron Mountain did not hesitate to go to Yellow Springs together for the sake of their friendship. And Banksy, the woman I thought was completely overzealous, would sacrifice her life to save an old human man who had nothing to do with her. These are feelings that I have never experienced before. Yes, there are many people who are willing to die for me, and I have allowed those people to make their wishes come true. But I don't know how to go on with them. "Master, let's go back. To divert my thoughts, I said to the old owner of the boat, who had re-paddled the boat, "Now that there is no point in continuing to sail into the depths of the sea, I would like to have a funeral for her." Don't you want to come out yet? Are you like this and keep swimming in the sea as a fish?"

Then, a little spray suddenly rolled up on the sea. A soaking wet, Hua Siqi stood tremblingly in front of us. She didn't have an inch on her body, but at this time, she didn't see any temptation, but was full of pity. "She's dead, she's dead. Do you understand?" Hua Siqi sobbed, unable to tell whether her face was seawater or tears. "Why, it used to be so good, but now it's suddenly like this? Why did you suddenly die? Why is this, why?"

"Every man has a life, and he must not be forced. I shook my head. I told the old owner to speed up the oars, though I knew that this would only increase the speed slightly. At this time, Hua Siqi once again turned into a big fish and jumped into the water. "What the hell are you going to do? Do you still want to run away?" I said angrily, "Do you just come up to vent your sorrow at me? Do you think I don't want to save her? If I could save her, she wouldn't be like this?"

However, Hua Siqi's voice came from the sea. "What, I'm saying I'm running away? I'm speeding up the ship! I'm not trying to do anything else! I'm pushing the boat, you know?"

"How dare you talk back!" I was furious and shouted at her in the sea, "Have you forgotten what you said when you joined us before? You !!!"

"Enough is enough" to stop this conflict is the Tiger King. "Look at what you look like now? One of you is the last transfigurant race in the world, and the other is the undead who have been living in this world for thousands of years! You are arguing like a child now, do you fit your current identity? You are just a child in the eyes of Lone, but Lone thinks you can do at least a little bit of adult things. But look at you! Banksy, the body of this little girl is still warm, and you're making a fuss over little things! Are you still friends?"

I was silent, staring down at the sea. And Hua Siqi didn't speak again.

"Alright, let's be quiet. The old master whispered as he drove the oars, "I didn't expect this little girl to be able to turn into so many things, so that we would go back faster." ”

Sure enough, the old captain was right. It's a lot faster now than it was before we came. With Hua Siqi's help, it only took us half a day to see the coastline again, which had been a few days away.

After disembarking, the old captain sighed and turned away. At this time, the old shipowner did not seem to be as wealthy as before. After this time, the old shipowner did not have the slightest fear of the Tiger King. After the Tiger King roared a few times at his back, the old shipowner's body didn't even tremble. In this way, an ordinary person who was just a passing person with us left our world. And around us, there is also one person who has left us. Hua Siqi turned into a majestic orangutan and gently lifted Banksy's corpse, following us unconcerned under the surprised or frightened gazes of the people around her. By this time I had re-mounted the so-called token of promise that Rebeck had given me. Originally, I was going to leave it behind, but now it seems that this war horse from hell is still going to follow me.

Sadly, I forgot where Banks wanted to bury himself. Because I didn't pay any attention to what she said before, because I never thought that Banksy would leave this world like this. I don't know what she thought in her last moments, but I hope she leaves with a calm mood. However, even though I held her in my arms, I still didn't feel what she was thinking in the last moments of her life.

In front of us, there is a mountain that is not very high, but from the top of the mountain, we can see a very wide area of the sea. It occurred to me that if Banksy was buried here, would her soul be happy to see the ocean every day, and Hua Siqi and the Tiger King around me seemed to have the same idea. "Let's go there and put it. The Tiger King said, "Lone thinks that the little girl should like that place." I didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

It took us two days to reach our finish line. This is mainly because there are so many people gathered around us, and within a few kilometers of walking, hundreds of local residents will timidly surround us to see something new. I didn't want to cause any trouble, so I just tried to keep my temper to myself. If it weren't for the fact that the Tiger King couldn't bear to roar at the mountain forest in the end, summoning hundreds of ferocious wild animals to disperse the last group of local residents we encountered, I'm afraid it would have taken us more time to reach that low mountain. This time, the dispersal of the local population by the beast caused about hundreds of deaths. We walked on the road full of stumps, and there were no waves in our hearts, even Hua Siqi. For these scum who only know how to watch the excitement, I can't have any sympathy in my heart. Maybe dead, these indifferent dog things won't continue to make garbage in this world. I'm afraid that Hua Siqi also has the same idea about this.

We had just reached the foot of the mountain when a familiar shout came from behind us. When I looked back, I saw that it was the old shipowner who had been running towards us on horses or donkeys with dozens of men with white turbans on their heads. They had no weapons in their hands. "What are they doing here?" I asked. But I think like me, Hua Siqi and the Tiger King shouldn't be able to find the answer.

"They probably want to help us with this funeral. The Tiger King said, "But Lone doesn't dare to be completely sure." I guess from their outfits, they don't pose any threat to Lonely. ”

Well, everybody understands that. And by this time, the old shipowner had come to us. "Woman, ma'am, I thought about it and felt that since I didn't take you to your destination, then the deal was not done. In that case, let's do it another way. When I went back and guessed, I knew that you should come here to bury this little girl, so I immediately called the young man from our village community to see this little girl off!"

That's good, that's good. Originally, I thought of letting the Tiger King do this errand. In this way, six young and strong humans took Banksy's body from Hua Siqi, who had been transformed into a giant ape, and put it into an elaborate coffin. Along the way, we gradually came to the top of the mountain with a poignant and melodious singing. After an elderly human scouting around, we finally settled on a grave for Banksys. Yes, we're buried.

Due to the rush of time, they did not have time to erect a monument for him. Later I learned that this beautiful coffin alone had already cost half of what we had paid the old shipowner. And to invite these young men cost us more than half of the remuneration we gave to the old shipowner.

When the coffin slowly sank into the dirty pit that had just been dug, Hua Siqi did not escape as before. Instead, he lay on the body of the Tiger King with tears and watched all this silently. As the dirt slowly covered the collar, the old shipowner groaned, "The world is always so helpless. Once again, we witnessed the cruelty that prevailed, and a young girl lost her life before our eyes. There is nothing we can do to stop death from taking her away, but we can allow her soul to ascend to the bliss of eternal life after death. Girl, may you have a good life in the next life. ”
