Chapter 009: Water Ghost
Wu Yutong's death touched everyone a lot, and the hardest hit was Mulan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoWhen the day is good, I soak in the sea all day long, and when the day is bad, I stay in front of Wu Yutong's grave, sitting from morning to night, and I don't say a word.
She didn't laugh, Zhang's first one was not happy, and Aunt Chili and Aunt Hao naturally couldn't be happy, and the valley was lifeless.
Only Yanhong has no heart and lungs, should eat, drink, and sleep until three poles in the sun.
Zhang always persuaded Mulan to open some, and Mulan also wanted to open some, but she always felt that Wu Yutong died too unjustly.
In Wu Yutong's short life, only the years when Yutong Niang was alive were happy. For the rest of the year, he struggled to survive, but in the end, he could not escape the fate of death.
And this fate can obviously be changed, and it is not an incurable terminal disease, as long as there is a doctor, as long as there is a good medicine for the symptoms, why did he embark on the Huangquan Road before the age of 20?
Mulan lamented her death and was also annoyed that she had failed to fulfill her promise to heal her. More often than not, there are worries about the future.
She, Zhang's and Yan Hong are still young, and they have a small illness and a small disaster to carry it over. Chili Po and Aunt Hao are already old, and they may not be able to get up again if they fall down because of a little illness one day.
She was the youngest, and if nothing else, she would have died last. Then she is bound to send them away one by one like sending Wu Yutong away, tasting this sad and helpless taste over and over again.
There are more than 100,000 women who are exiled every year, and how many can drift to this island alive? She couldn't imagine how lonely and depressing it would be to be left alone here after sending everyone away.
Even if a new exile appears, it will not be able to replace these people who have raised her since childhood, and who are not blood relatives more than blood relatives.
So, find a way out of here no matter what!
The idea of leaving was there from the beginning, but the conditions did not allow it.
Yang was pregnant and soaked in the sea for several days, and after being rescued, he was depressed, and the child in his belly was naturally not very healthy. Mulan was very weak when she came, but fortunately, she was not a real baby in her core, no matter how uncomfortable she was, she was forced to drink milk, drank and vomited, vomited and drank again.
When I get older, I consciously strengthen my exercises, and my body bones gradually become stronger.
In order to make Chili Po discover her "natural" talent for water, she put a lot of effort into it. When I was finally able to go to the sea, there were a few good eyes staring at the pepper woman, and I couldn't do too outrageous actions.
It wasn't until the past two years, seeing that she was becoming more and more proficient in water, that Chili Po gave her permission to go to the sea alone.
She had tried more than once that if she was more than two or three miles away from Shouzhen Island, there would be an undercurrent surging beneath the seemingly calm sea. With her water nature and physical strength, she lasted a quarter of an hour at most, and finally exhausted, and was swept back by the current.
In the past few days~ she saw Tian'er soaking in the sea, not as Zhang and others thought, but to relieve the grief caused by Wu Yutong's death, but to detect the current. She didn't believe that the currents would always be so strong and that there should always be a period of relative calmness.
As long as you find this period, you will have a chance to leave.
After these days of exploration, she found that the current slowed down every time the tide approached, and it became more and more obvious day by day. She counted the days, and it was about to be fifteen, although she didn't know what the principle was, but she intuitively felt that the strength of the currents had a certain correlation with the rise and fall of the tides.
What kind of correlation there is still needs to be further verified.
Mulan had infinite hope because of this discovery, but she didn't know that on a bare reef island closest to Shouzhen Island, a group of people who were familiar with water were doing the same thing with her.
They had been on the island for more than a few months, and everything they needed was brought by land by special ships. Commanding this group of water ghosts was a young man with a delicate face, in his twenties, who was born with a shrewd and capable appearance.
He called himself Hou Qi, a man of business, who spent a lot of money to hire this group of water ghosts, hoping to open up a direct channel from here to Shouzhen Island. As for why he went to Shouzhen Island, he didn't know a word.
"Wait for the Seventh Master." Ding Li went out to sea and went to the island, so he went straight to the ship where Hou Qi was. He is the leader of the water ghosts, and he is also the leader of this group of water ghosts, and the progress of the investigation has always been reported by him to Hou Qi in person.
Hou Qi beckoned him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea himself, and then asked with a smile, "But there is good news?" ā
Ding Li is a rough man, he can't recognize that the bowl is filled with good tea of great value, he raised his neck and drank it all, wiped his mouth with his sleeve indiscriminately, and said angrily: "According to our previous calculations, the water vortex is the best when the tide is high." Ming'er is fifteen, you give me a quasi-word, should we do it or not? ā
Ding Li is also in a hurry, he has been out with this group of brothers for half a year. Although he was paid a lot of money, and the food and drink were not bad, he was not allowed to go back until he finished his work, and what he saw every day was either water or this bare and hairless broken island, which really made people sick.
A few brothers with families couldn't stand it anymore, thinking about their mother-in-law and children, and seeing Tian'er urging him to complain.
Hou Qi knew what the water ghosts were anxious about, why didn't he want to finish it earlier? But he was also ordered by others, and he didn't say anything, so he really couldn't be the master of his own family. It was not easy to explain this to Ding Li, so he went around the bend and said: "The water vortex is turbulent, and the danger is very high, if you are not very sure, how dare I let you wait for the adventure?"
It's better to be cautious......"
"Beware of a hammer?!" Ding Li rudely cut off Hou Qi's words, "It's been a few months?" We went to sea during the day and at night, and the fish in this water were familiar with us.
Don't tell me those mysterious things, just say it, do it or not?
If you do it, let's take the brothers to take down the water vortex. If we take your money, we will help you do your job well, and if you lose your life, we are not capable enough, so we can't blame you.
If you don't, let our brother's house rest for two days. If he doesn't go back, his son won't be able to recognize his father. ā
Hou Qi scratched his head a little embarrassed, and was thinking about what to say to stabilize Ding Li, when he saw Qingfeng, the little servant who was serving him, hurriedly came to the door, and hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?" ā
Qingfeng glanced at Ding Li and hesitated not to speak.
Ding Li is not a person who has no eyesight, but he was in a hurry to ask Hou Qi to give an answer, so he pretended not to see it.
Qingfeng secretly rolled his eyes, leaned into Hou Qi's ear and lowered his voice and said, "The supply ship will arrive soon, saying that the one is also coming with him." ā
"Really?" Hou Qi was surprised and delighted, high-fived and laughed, "It's coming, let me wait." ā
