"Is it okay? Didn't you say the woman was going to come with her, and now it's time for her to come in handy, and she's not going to do it again?" the leader persuaded as he slowly approached the man.

He tried to put his hand on the man's shoulder again, but as soon as he got on it, the man pushed him away.

The man's attitude is resolute.

The woman, on the other hand, looked at the man intently, her eyes glittering, as if she was unaware of the tense atmosphere and dangerous aura on the deck at this moment.

It turns out that the dream of that night, is it true?

He's really going to get in front of me......

The woman's mind flashed through the terrifying nightmare of last night again, and her heart was no longer afraid.

A warmth and courage swelled in her heart.

This man, who swore that he would not make any changes for himself, made the most risky move for himself at the most critical moment.

There is nothing wrong with his choice, and there is nothing wrong with following him.

The man turned his face sideways, saw the woman looking at him motionlessly, and thought she must be frightened and stupid, so he spoke to her softly to keep her awake.

"You had a nightmare before you left, probably overheard my conversation with the leader. He mentioned it to me that night. You may have heard that a woman's blood is the best bait, so he had this intention from the beginning, but at that time you couldn't run, so I didn't tell you, let's act at the opportunity. ”

"If you can't catch a fish, you're going to get nothing out of it. The woman was still looking at him infatuatedly.

"Then I can't take you either......" Before the man could finish his words, the woman took a step forward from behind him and walked in front of him.

"I do. ”

"What are you willing, what are you going to do!" The man saw the woman's sudden behavior, and quickly grabbed the woman and scolded in a low voice.

"He's right, I'm here to help you, what's the point of hiding behind you like this, it's useless? I'm willing to cut off ......."

Before she could finish speaking, the man covered her mouth with his hand.

The leader not far away had already heard the woman's words, and he clapped his hands happily, "Okay, now that even she herself agrees, what's the bother?"

Don't worry, my knife skills are very good, and it won't be too painful. ”

The leader waved behind him, and several of the younger brothers surrounded the two of them.

The man was afraid that the woman would be arrested, so he immediately thought of a way to compromise for the time being and stop the conflict that might occur.

He raised a hand and motioned for his brothers to stop.

"She agreed to help us, but she couldn't lose her life, and she didn't cut the flesh, so she used her blood, and tried it with her blood. ”

As soon as the leader waved his hand, several junior brothers put down the tools in their hands.

"That's fine. Give her some blood. ”

As he spoke, the leader walked over, grabbed the woman, and took out his knife to make a cut on her arm.

The man hurriedly stopped, "The blood is flowing too fast like this, she will soon be unable to support it." ”

"So what do you say?"

The boss is getting a little impatient.

The man did not speak, but he pulled the woman to the side of the boat, and made her hold out her hand, and then, taking a knife, cut it in the palm of her hand.

The knife was sharp, and the woman's palm didn't feel anything special at first, until the blade left the palm and saw a slender crimson opening, which made it feel a hot burning sensation.

Blood also flowed out of the mouth.

"Bear with me, it's the only way. ”

The woman bit her lip and nodded vigorously, "Hmm." ”

"Well, let's let her bleed there and see if the fish will take the bait. ”

Minutes and seconds passed.

The woman's hand was kept on the side of the boat.

Twenty minutes passed, her arms were numb, and her ruddy fingers began to turn white.

And at this time, the blood on the woman's hands is also shedding less and less.

The man is not surprised, but a little relieved, which shows that the wound on the woman's hand is slowly stopping bleeding, which is the body's self-protection.

But soon, he had another kind of worry.

Almost half an hour has passed, but the fish they want to catch has not yet appeared, and if they haven't caught a fish, how can they let this woman go?

"What's going on, it's a pretense, isn't it? Is there any blood, I said this is too small!"

The leader walked over, stepped on the side of the boat, and approached the woman's hand.

He grabbed the woman's injured hand and squeezed it hard, and the knife wound that had begun to heal instantly burst open again.

"Ahh

The woman cried out in pain.

The man grabbed the woman's hand and said, "What to do!"

Now the opening is even bigger than it used to be.

"Since you promised to help, show some sincerity, don't grind like this. ”

The man doesn't speak, he looks down at the woman.

The woman hung her head, her heart was heartburned and she couldn't speak.

She slowly broke free of the man, put her bloodied hand overboard, smiled weakly, and said, "Don't waste it." ”

"If you hold on, I'll take you out of here at night. The man whispered in the woman's ear.

I don't know if it's because of weakness, her hearing is confused, she seems to hear the choking in the man's voice.

The woman didn't speak, just nodded.

Nearly twenty minutes passed, and the man stood on the side of the ship, anxiously observing the sea.

The woman sat beside him, one hand still outstretched.

It was getting dark, and dusk was coming.

The man looked carefully at every ripple on the surface of the water, and prayed in his heart, the human-faced fish, appear soon.

Suddenly, he felt something fall on his lap.

He looked down and saw that it was the woman who had fainted.

Having lost so much blood, her lips were white, and the man didn't care so much, he tore a piece from his clothes and wrapped the woman's hand.

He hugged the woman and walked to the cabin.

A little brother's cry sounded behind him, "The fish is coming, the fish is swimming!"

The leader's eyes lit up first, and regardless of what the man was going to do with the woman, he hurriedly walked to the side of the boat and looked into the distance.

There was indeed a fish, the kind of fish they had always dreamed of.

Then he ordered everyone to be on standby and salvage it aboard.

The people on deck were busy.

And men and women can finally rest in the cabin for a while.

The woman lies down, and the man disinfects her hands, bandages, pours water.

Holding the hot water in her hand, the woman's sanity finally recovered slightly.

"Thank you. The woman whispered.

"I should thank you. ”

The woman could feel that the man's attitude towards her was no longer as cold as that of acquaintance.

"I'm very happy. ”

"Happy?" The man couldn't help but feel that this woman was really stupid, and she was still happy at this time.

"Hmm. The woman didn't explain, "By the way, you said you did this business to make money, if you catch a fish and make money, do you have any plans?"

"I'm going home. ”

"Home?" the woman thought for a moment, and then asked, "Is it home?"

"Hmm. I don't have a home here, my father is in my hometown. ”
