Chapter 52: The Council (3)
Tang Haoyu leaned against the porthole when he came, he was also in this position 12 hours ago, and he was arranged in this cabin when he went back, and he chose this position again for no reason.
These 12 hours are not like half a day, but like 12 days have passed.
Suddenly, outside the window, there was no longer a thick sea fog, but a fluorescent, the sea surface was glowing with scales against the moonlight, and the tower lights of fishing boats were still moving slowly in the distance.
Tang Haoyu looked at these scenes, but his heart was empty, and his eyes were too.
When I came, there were six people, and when I returned, there were only two people left.
He and Song Yunan.
At this time, the bright moon, who had always been attached to the sea, suddenly favored him, and the moonlight with a rippling cold breath illuminated his entire face, looking so tired and uneasy.
He shook his hand in front of his eyes, the moonlight was strange, and the whole cabin was strange.
Tang Haoyu thought, fishermen, the only thing that can hold warmth is the moonlight.
He bent his head and lowered his gaze to see the whole picture of the moon in this sea, but many things were not possible for him to think about, the height of the portholes, the position of the cabin, and the distance between the moon and the ship were not enough for him to see the whole picture.
There are many things that he can't do with his efforts, for example, he wants Chu Ziyang and them to survive.
He couldn't stand why he was the only one who came back unharmed, but Chu Ziyang and they had to pay such a big price, and he even doubted that Chu Ziyang would give up on him, guilt and uneasiness made him feel very cold, and his whole person was numb and cold from head to toe.
From the moment he entered this cabin, so did his senior brother Song Yunan, who had been silent in a corner, which was far away from Tang Haoyu.
Tang Haoyu knows why the moonlight is strange, because today is June 17th, May 15th of the lunar calendar, the moon is very big, very round and cold, the whole sky is only left with the moon shining lonely, and the people on the ground are still praising it, today's moon is so beautiful, but only the moon itself knows that those lights are traces left by loneliness.
It's still summer, but there isn't a star.
It's obviously a two-person cabin, but it's so far apart.
Tang Haoyu secretly glanced at Song Yunan, and he also knew why the cabin was also weird, because this distance was not far from the surface, but a sudden alienation and indifference.
His whole mind was empty, and he felt that he had a lot of questions here, a lot of questions, but he couldn't catch the tail of the answer at all, he could see the answer, but the answer had been deliberately avoiding him.
Perhaps, Senior Brother also couldn't understand why I was the only one who came back intact, and maybe, Senior Brother would rather I be left in it than see the captain like that.
Tang Haoyu didn't desperately grab the tail of the answer, he thought of an answer for himself, although this answer made him sad, so much so that he was grabbing his heart fiercely, because the force was too great, the emotion was too high, and the whole person kept trembling.
He buried his head in the moonlight, and the cold pillar of light finally illuminated his back.
For a moment, he hoped that his senior brother would see his appearance at this time, although it was ugly, but he knew that his senior brother would see his sadness, his guilt, his uneasiness, and he didn't want Chu Ziyang to be like this, he really didn't mean to be like this, and he couldn't do anything!
Why no one sees his cowardice and helplessness every time, although he himself doesn't want to be like this, but he just wants someone to see through his stubbornness and comfort him.
As if it weren't like that, whenever this emotion hit, it would only last for a short time, and after that he would act as if it hadn't happened.
But not this time, this time he can't act like he didn't happen.
Tang Haoyu closed his eyes tightly, and the cold feeling on his back suddenly disappeared.
It wasn't gone, someone was blocking the moonlight for him, and he could feel the man standing in front of him.
"Reach out. Song Yunan said softly.
Tang Haoyu was stunned for a moment but didn't dare to raise his head, and slowly stretched out his left hand along his shoulder, and those cranky emotions drifted to both sides the moment he heard Song Yunan speak.
"Right hand. Song Yunan said again, his voice was a little hoarse, and he couldn't feel any emotion.
Tang Haoyu withdrew his left hand and stretched out his right hand, he didn't know what his senior brother wanted him to do with his hand, but he knew that he just had to do it.
At the moment when he hadn't fully stretched out his right hand, Song Yunan held his hand fiercely, and suddenly strained his wrist, because of the pain, he had to spread his palm, although Song Yunan's movement was a little too high, he still buried his head.
Because he felt that even if Song Yunan cut him with a knife at this moment, he would not resist.
But Song Yunan didn't want to cut him, nor did he want to hurt him, the next second he spread his palm, a cold feeling lingered in the palm of his hand, he remembered this feeling, Huo Ran raised his head and met Song Yunan's gaze.
The moonlight was imprinted on Song Yunan's back, spreading another layer of snowflakes on a cold cheek.
Soon, Song Yunan let go of Tang Haoyu's hand, he had already got the answer he wanted, although there was a little problem with this answer.
"You heard Ling Feng's voice, didn't you?" Song Yunan suddenly sat next to Tang Haoyu and said with his back against the cabin.
Tang Haoyu responded with an 'um' sound, and coughed lightly in his throat, he looked ahead, not daring to look at Song Yunan's face.
"But I didn't hear you. Song Yunan suddenly changed his tone and said.
"Huh?" Tang Haoyu turned his head slightly, fortunately controlling this subconscious action, because he didn't understand what Song Yunan said.
"Actually, it's not with you. Song Yunan immediately said, "In me." ”
Tang Haoyu still didn't understand, and Song Yunan didn't continue to explain.
Song Yunan didn't know if the problem was on him, he just didn't want Tang Haoyu to blame himself too much.
Just now he asked Tang Haoyu to stretch out his hand to confirm that the contract mark was still complete or incomplete, but fortunately, the result was the same as he wanted - the mark was incomplete, which may be the reason why he couldn't hear Tang Haoyu's voice, and Tang Haoyu was able to hear other people's voices.
But this is something that has never happened since he made the mark, except for the mark he has made on the human body, if he does not eliminate it, the mark will be mutilated at all, the contract will be invalid, and the mark will lose its effect, he can understand, but the mark is mutilated and he really can't understand it.
Since it is said that everything has a contingency, and what has not happened before does not mean that it will not exist, Song Yun'an will classify the imperfection of the mark as this 'what if', but this does not completely convince him, he believes in his judgment of Satan's seal, just like Chu Ziyang believes in the prince's knife.
"Actually, you don't have to think about it so much, the captain's injury has nothing to do with you. Song Yunan wiped his head and looked out of the porthole and said, "You can live well is the best explanation for this mission." ”
Hearing this, Tang Haoyu was stunned, and the whole person was frozen on the 'final explanation', and his brain was confused like a ball of sulfuric acid that had been quickly stirred by a glass rod.
He slowly looked at Song Yun'an, but when he was about to see Song Yun'an, he was stunned by the moonlight, he squinted his eyes and realized that it was not the moonlight that shook his sight, but a huge lighthouse, and when he came, he noticed this lighthouse, which meant that they were about to end.
"If I'm guessing correctly, if it weren't for you this time, the captain probably wouldn't have come back. Song Yunan said suddenly.
Tang Haoyu was even more stunned, under the tower lamp in the distance, he saw that Song Yunan was wiping his head and looking at him what he said, and at this time, they were looking at each other directly, Tang Haoyu was sluggish, but Song Yunan was smiling shallowly.
"Why do you say that?" Tang Haoyu immediately lowered his head and asked, he didn't feel that he played any role in this mission at all, he was separated from Chu Ziyang and them as soon as he entered, and he had already come out when they met again, and there was nothing to do with him at all.
After the atmosphere calmed down for a few seconds, Song Yunan said, "Guess, it's just a guess." ”
Tang Haoyu's 'oh' stuck at the corner of his mouth, obviously a little disappointed with this answer, but then thinking about it, this guess is completely unreasonable, and the senior brother must have said this just to comfort him.
"I didn't say that to comfort you. Song Yunan guessed Tang Haoyu's mind again.
Tang Haoyu looked at Song Yunan blankly again.
"Actually, it's not hard to guess, and combined with everything that has happened before, this guess is completely reasonable. ”
"Oh. Tang Haoyu still said 'oh', even though he knew that the word 'oh' was annoying, he still wanted 'oh', because he felt that Song Yun'an said this sentence was implying that he had a low IQ.
"Haoyu. ”
"Huh?" Tang Haoyu came back to his senses, he was a little surprised that Song Yunan would suddenly call his name so seriously.
"You kid just lack self-confidence, he always thinks that everything is his fault, obviously it has nothing to do with you, and he carries the whole burden on himself.
Everyone can understand your sensitivity, but there are not many people who will adapt to your sensitivity, and more people will only turn a blind eye, so that the doubts and depression brought by sensitivity will become more and more serious, and this thing will make you gradually lose your yearning for all light, just like walking on the road full of light, you will still feel lost, because in your world, light is no longer called light, it has become the embodiment of darkness.
By this time, even if someone comes to you with a body of light, you will only see him clothed in darkness.
So, you have to believe me, you have to believe everyone, and you have to believe in yourself, what I said is not speculation, it is fact. Song Yunan looked at Tang Haoyu and said the last sentence in a firm tone.
"One day in the future, you will shine brighter than any of us, because in you I see in you what is most lacking in this era, but it is also the most powerful. Song Yunan turned his head and said in an almost silent tone,
"Grief. ”
