"Did you hear that? That Lehi from our village woke up last night!"

"Is that the murderer Lehi? Isn't he over 15 years old?

"What kind of murderer, don't talk nonsense, it was all a few years ago, and the police didn't treat him well, indicating that he didn't commit it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWhat's wrong with people over 15? He's not allowed to be a special case?"

"That's right, in the history of our Bluestone Island, there have also been examples of awakening at the age of 18. ”

"Alas, a while ago, Blacksmith Liu asked me to find a partner for Li Hai, I thought others were a little weird, so I didn't agree, and now when I wake up, it's terrible. ”

"You regret going, you become a contractor, and you will be an elite in society in the future, enjoy a lot of power, and it is easy to become an official. ”

"If you want me to say, even if this Lehi has not awakened, with his fishing skills, he will make a lot of money. ”

In the square of Qingshi Village, there is always no shortage of aunts and aunts chattering there. Yesterday was the day of the special red moon, and as soon as the night was over, everyone's hot topic was naturally this.

Bluestone Island is so big in total, and after a night, anyone who has awakened into a contractor will soon spread.

And last night, only Zhou Chen succeeded.

At this moment, at Blacksmith Liu's house next door, in order to celebrate his awakening, Blacksmith Liu personally cooked and made a hearty lunch.

"Ah Hai, you are a glorious ancestor this time, you have to find a day to go to your father's grave to tell him this happy event. ”

Blacksmith Liu was really happy, and bought a bottle of liquor for the first time and drank it with Zhou Chen.

"Well, I'll go tomorrow. ”

Zhou Chen nodded, then raised the cup in his hand and said to Blacksmith Liu: "Thank you Grandpa Liu for taking care of me all the time, I toast you." ”

"Whatever you don't thank, it's all neighbors, and I've watched you grow up, so I'll help if I can. ”

Blacksmith Liu said, and also took a sip of wine.

"Brother Ahai, if you become a contractor, will you also fly away with the big plane?"

Xiaomei seems to have spoken a lot less today, and now she suddenly asks this question.

"I won't accept compulsory teaching from the alliance, so I won't follow the triennial airliner. ”

Zhou Chen shook his head and replied.

"Really?"

Xiaomei seemed to be a little surprised.

"Well, I'm almost 20 years old, and if I only go to the contractor school now, I'm afraid I won't fit in with those teenagers around 15 years old. And it would be a waste of time to wait for the plane to pick me up, and it would have to wait for almost a year. I'm definitely the oldest among the new contractors, and if I want to catch up with those teenagers who awakened, I have to take another path. ”

Zhou Chen said the excuse of preparing early, and continued: "So I decided to give up the compulsory education given to me by the alliance, and set off by boat from Qingshi Island, while traveling to increase my knowledge, as for the basic knowledge, I relied on buying books to learn by myself. ”

"Brother Ahai, when are you leaving?"

Xiaomei looked at Zhou Chen nervously.

"Within a week. ”

Zhou Chen originally wanted to say that he would leave in two days, but when he saw Xiaomei's expectant eyes, his heart softened and he said that it would be a week.

"So fast?"

Xiaomei bit her lip and lowered her head, looking sullen.

"Alas," Blacksmith Liu sighed, "Ah Hai, I don't know anything about the contractor, and since you have already decided, I can't say anything." Accompany Xiaomei more before you leave, she is the best with you, I'm afraid you'll be a lot lonely after you leave. ”

"Well, I will. ”

Zhou Chen smiled and turned his head to look at Xiaomei, who was still keeping his head down and silent.

......

Soon, five days passed, but Zhou Chen couldn't help but leave.

Because the port of Bluestone Island does not have ships sailing every day, it is likely to take many days to miss once.

"Ah Hai, you have to rely on yourself when you go out, you have to be careful in everything, and safety is the first. ”

At the bus stop in Qingshi Sancun Square, seeing that the bus had arrived at the station and was about to leave, Blacksmith Liu made a final admonition to Zhou Chen.

"I'll take care of myself. ”

Zhou Chen was wearing a thicker dress at the moment, carrying a bulging backpack, looking like he was traveling far away.

He nodded to Blacksmith Liu, then looked at Xiaomei again, reached out and stroked her head, and smiled: "Don't be unhappy, didn't we make an appointment, as long as I have the opportunity in the future, I will come back to see you again." ”

"But, but when will it be?"

Xiaomei finally cried out and shed tears sadly.

"I can't guarantee the exact time. ”

Zhou Chen squatted down and smiled: "Although I can't have time, I will definitely come back, just don't recognize me as a brother when the time comes." ”

"You are, don't forget me, you must come back to see me!"

Xiaomei sobbed, wiped her tears, and suddenly stepped forward and kissed Zhou Chen on the face.

Zhou Chen was slightly stunned, then pinched Xiaomei's face, and said softly: "Then I'll go, goodbye." ”

Waving his hand at Xiaomei and Blacksmith Liu, Zhou Chen stepped onto the bus.

With a click, the doors closed, and the wheels began to turn, gradually accelerating, and drove out of the square.

"Brother Ahai ......"

Seeing that the bus had disappeared from view, Xiaomei's tears fell again, looking very sad.

"Alas, don't cry, come and see what Ah Hai left for you. ”

Blacksmith Liu took out a package from his arms, a boxy strip, and he didn't know what it was.

This was given to him by Zhou Chen before, saying that it was left for Xiaomei, and asked him to wait until he got in the car and left.

"My brother gave it to me?"

Xiaomei took the package from Blacksmith Liu's hand and hurriedly opened it, revealing the contents inside, a large stack of cash and a thin envelope.

"Ah! It's money. ”

Xiaomei was shocked by this thick stack of cash, which were all in 1,000 face values, adding up to an estimated 100,000 alliance coins.

Xiaomei was afraid that she would be seen by other people in the square, so she immediately handed over the stack of money to Blacksmith Liu and said, "Grandpa, hide it quickly." ”

After speaking, she didn't care about Blacksmith Liu and began to open the envelope in her hand.

There was only one piece of paper in it, which was a letter written by Zhou Chen himself, and there were not many words in it, but Xiaomei couldn't understand them all, and there were many words she didn't recognize.

She could only turn to Blacksmith Liu for help: "Grandpa, help me read it." ”

So, Blacksmith Liu took the letter paper, took out the reading glasses he was carrying from his jacket pocket, and began to read the contents of the letter to Xiaomei.

Zhou Chen didn't say much in the letter, mainly some words to let the grandparents take care of themselves in the future.

He mentioned that the 100,000 yuan was for Xiaomei, whether she wanted to use it for studying, or eating and drinking, so that she could spend it happily and use it happily. In addition, Zhou Chen's house was also left to his grandparents and grandchildren, and the real estate handover proved that he had already gone to the village chief to do it, and it was Xiaomei's name written on it.

"Alas, Ahaina child, what a ......"

Blacksmith Liu was also speechless with emotion, he knew that Zhou Chen made a lot of money from fishing, but he spent it on buying expensive tonics, and he could leave 100,000 yuan to Xiaomei, so he probably didn't bring much with him.

"Brother Ahai, you don't even want a house, won't you come back?"

Xiaomei thought of something again, and began to suffer from gains and losses.

"Silly boy, Ahai has promised you that he will definitely come back, you have to believe him. ”

Liu Tie comforted softly.

"Hmm. ”

......

On the shore of Bluestone Island, a cargo ship slowly left the port.

Zhou Chen leaned on the edge of the boat and looked at the sea, quietly blowing the sea breeze.
