Well, I really feel like I'm getting seasick.

When we came to the coast and had spent a week of boredom, we chose the biggest ship we had encountered in the past week and headed for the unknown. But it's not so much a big ship as it is a small boat that's a little bigger than a lone boat. Aside from me and the Tiger King, Watty and Banksy, there was only one trembling boatman on top of the boat.

If you were a boatman, if there was a tiger on your boat, and the tiger could still speak, what would you most likely do? I guess many people will have a choice in their hearts, and that is to jump ship. This choice is a choice that many ordinary people make, but this boatman does not do it. The reason is actually very simple, one is because the remuneration given by this group is extremely generous, and this generous remuneration can be used to buy a luxury cruise ship. And such a generous reward also attracted all his eyes firmly at the first time, which also made him ignore the fact that there was a monster next to him that could devour heaven and earth. Although he didn't know what the Tiger King was, just looking at this face was already extremely terrifying. But the point is that when he beckoned these wealthy guests to board the ship, he did not notice the existence of the Tiger King. And this is the second reason, when this little boat sailed into the sea some distance from the coastline, the poor owner had already noticed that there was something that should not appear in his dilapidated little boat, but what could he do at this time. But now in the middle of the sea, no matter how good the water is, the poor boatman cannot swim back to shore.

Now, the owner of the boat rowed the oars almost with a tragic face, and at the same time secretly regretted why he was carried away by this little bit of petty profit before, and was able to make him do such a thing that he regretted so much. But fortunately, he was a little wary before he boarded the ship, and he received the payment in advance and handed it to his family for safekeeping. So now even if I was killed by this horrible bunch of terrible things, there was nothing. It's good that his family can have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and even get rich and expensive. But immediately he thought that he had handed this large bag of property to his wife in front of many outsiders, and what if the people around him found out that he had done something bad because of his money? Can his wife be safe? Or, after receiving such a large sum of money, will his wife run away while he is far away at sea? Thinking of this, the ship's owner frowned again, and almost cried.

The Tiger King, who was regarded as a monster, was already unhappy, and in addition to being afraid of water, the Tiger King held his head with two front paws in a very funny posture at the corner of the boat. Now the owner of the ship is crying and laughing again, which makes the Tiger King, who originally wanted to have a good rest, even more unable to sleep. "What are you crying about, if you cry again, you will eat you!"

Even the poor shipowner knew that the tiger king could speak, but he was so frightened that he almost fell into the sea. After all, this time it was a naked threat to my life! When I saw the comical appearance of the poor boat owner, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Tiger, what are you doing, if you eat him, who will row for us?"

The Tiger King patted his huge tiger head with his paws, and said helplessly: "Gu doesn't want to threaten him, but Gu is not in good health now." I wanted to have a good rest, but this human would cry and laugh for a while, which made Lone so tired that he couldn't sleep at all!" After thinking for a while, the Tiger King still frowned at the owner of the ship who was almost frightened and incontinent: "Don't make trouble, Lone won't eat you." If you can get us to our destination, and we'll pay you more when we get back, ask for the woman. ”

The Tiger King pointed to Hua Siqi, who was smiling on the side, and when Hua Siqi saw that the Tiger King was pointing at him with his huge sharp claws, he suddenly became exactly the same as the Tiger King. And also pointed to the Tiger King and said: "Yes, just ask him for money, he has money." ”

When had the poor shipowner ever seen such a battle, a man-eating beast was already terrible enough, but he didn't expect that the girl who had been sitting quietly in a small corner of the boat just now suddenly turned into a ghost like the man-eating beast just now. I saw that the ship's eyes suddenly rolled at first, and then he tightly covered his chest with his left hand that was originally holding the oars, and then rolled down the boat. Even I, who was the first to react, didn't have time to catch the owner, who was obviously scared to death.

"What are you doing?" I was a little angry, pointed at Hua Siqi and said, "Hurry up, you can solve the good things you make yourself." Either get him up right away, or you can row for us yourself!"

Hua Siqi, who knew that she had done something wrong, stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and then stood on the side of the boat and jumped down the boat, accompanied by the exclamation of the Tiger King, and turned into a big fish and burrowed into the sea when she was about to make contact with the sea. "Oh my god, I'm scared to death!"

I looked at the Tiger King angrily, and glanced at it: "I'm scared you to death, you all scared this ship owner to death." ”

"That's a mistake!" Although the Tiger King's face still looks very bad now, he now barely stands up and says seriously: "People always die, no matter what, everything in this world can't escape the final destination of falling leaves and returning to their roots." And this human being was not scared to death by Lonely, but by the girl like this. Just when the Tiger King was talking nonsense seriously, Hua Siqi, who had changed back to his original form, jumped on the boat with the owner who had passed out and looked at us with a smile. "It's okay, I shouldn't be dead. However, I will not save people. ”

Save... It seems like I won't either. I looked at the old shipowner lying quietly on the boat with a distorted expression, and I also felt a little helpless. I didn't expect that we would all let a human die like this. But fortunately, there is still one person on the scene who will save people, and that is Banksy. "Leave me alone. Banksy, who had been motionless since he had been on the ship, suddenly stood up, trembling to the old master's side, and pressed his hands lightly on his chest. Banksy's face was terrible, frighteningly white. It made me feel a little bitter in my heart. "Forget it, your own body can't do it. Don't use your life force too much. ”

"Ma'am, I'm not as good as I used to be, but that's fine with me. After a few minutes, the owner's chest was beating again, and Hua Siqi also touched the sweat on her forehead, and said to me with a smile: "And I'm not in poor health now, but because I'm also seasick." ”

Well, well, I didn't expect a group of four people, it seemed like everyone except me was seasick. Well, actually, my physical condition is also a little uncomfortable now.

"There's nothing wrong with this owner. After checking the owner's condition again, Banksy stuck his head overboard and retched for a while. Then he smiled at me reluctantly, "But now it looks like he won't be able to hold the boat." And my current constitution ... So, I'll leave the rest to you. After saying that, Banksy rolled his eyes and fell into the boat.

I was so shocked that I immediately ran to Banksy to probe her snort. It's okay, and breathing. The reason why she fainted now must have been just because she was physically exhausted.

But the Tiger King shattered my illusions: "This girl is dying." ”

I was startled, staring at the Tiger King with a serious face, but I didn't notice that he was joking. "Are you sure? Didn't you say before we boarded the ship that we could send her to a small island in the ocean to live her life?

"It's not a lonely change. The Tiger King looked at me calmly and said lightly: "Even if you are lonely, there is no way to change the fate of others." But Lone has been accustomed to seeing life and death in the long years, and now I am very familiar with the look on this girl's face, that is the taste of death. After sighing, the Tiger King continued: "Death, what a terrible thing, obviously every existence can clearly feel its existence, but it seems to be a master of disguise, until the moment you die, he will always be hidden. Whether you are a small bug or the greatest god in legend, you can't even touch the corner of death. Perhaps, even death itself does not know what it is and what it is doing. And now, this girl has also been targeted by death. If she wakes up before sunset, then she can delay the time of death. But if you can't, then even if you wake up, it's just a return to the light. ”

"What do you mean? "I don't understand the word, and I've never been exposed to it.

"It seems to be the benevolent side of death. The Tiger King laughed: "Sometimes when a creature is about to die, no matter how weak he was before, he will recover his health at the last moment of his life, and then die suddenly. And it is this time of death and reward that is called the return of light. ”

I nodded, and I understood. Hua Siqi turned her face to one side, but I could clearly feel that this weak girl was sobbing.

However, we didn't wait for Banksy to wake up before sunset. It wasn't until the wee hours of the morning, when the broken moon hung lonely over our heads, that Banksy woke up. And the Tiger King was right, and after Banksy woke up, he became as lively as usual. "Look, ma'am, I'm all right now, I'm as healthy as I was before! Look, I'm exactly the same as I was before?" When Banksy was surprised, Hua Siqi turned into a fish and jumped into the sea, as if she didn't want Banks to see that she was crying.

In the end, the Tiger King didn't hold back and told the truth about jumping and jumping Banks on the boat.

"So, I'm back to the light now?" Banksy quieted down, and sat obediently in the corner of the ship, quietly looking at the old shipowner who was still asleep.

I didn't know what to say, I just nodded helplessly.

"So this is death. Banks looked at his hands, which were already very white and became even more flawless in the moonlight. "Don't worry about anything, it's a good choice to die like this. At the very least, before I died, I was able to get up close and personal with God's messenger and learn God-given abilities. More importantly, to be able to get to know you, Madam, and your fellow men, and ... and the Storm of Fire, and the Iron Mountain... As he spoke, Banks sobbed, "Of course, there is the stubborn old man. We were right, if he insisted on going back, it would be death. I didn't expect that he really went back, this, this stubborn old man... Banksy wiped the tears that flowed down, pointed to the tiger king who didn't dare to look at her and said, "Of course, there are still you, I didn't expect you to be so terrible on the outside, but so soft on the inside." I've only been in contact with you for a short time, but I know you're a good person. So, in my absence, you have to protect the lady!"

"Lonely, lonely. ”

"And Hua Siqi, ma'am, you still told her to stop crying. You see, I didn't cry. At this time, Banksy's breathing suddenly became rapid: "Hua Siqi... She is a very kind girl, and it is really my honor to have such a girl as my friend, really, really. ”

"Say no more, you're fine, you're okay. "I hugged the poor girl and didn't want her to see my tears. And the girl also tried to hold me with her own hand, but there was no strength. "You're okay, I can turn you into an undead, a high-level undead like me. So that you can get back to health. ”

"No, don't, ma'am. The girl shook her head stubbornly: "I don't want to cheat death." She gave me a good time to say goodbye, and it was enough for me. I'm sorry I didn't stick with you. Firestorm, Iron Mountain, you've waited for me for so long, I can finally come and accompany you. ”

I felt the temperature of the girl in my arms drop a little, but I couldn't help her. In desperation, I searched the boat without a goal, but the Tiger King just lay on the boat with his back to me, and Hua Siqi still didn't have the courage to take one last look at Banksys after all.
