2. The ocean – where I came from
float
The sky was blue and blue, and the tiled clouds covered the blue sky. Under the bright sun, the sea sparkles as far as the eye can see.
"Ahem...... cough ......" a woman's cough. A woman in colorful clothes floats on the surface of the sea. She floated limply, her eyes squinting from the scorching sun, and her mouth turned purple.
"Who am I?" She kept thinking about this question in her mind, and kept thinking about it, like an endless stream of seawater, endlessly, torturing herself again and again. Now, the only thing she can do is think about this problem, and then let her body drift with the tide, like a drifting bottle, with the current.
She wanted to figure out her condition, but she was in the middle of the sea and her physical strength was exhausted, so she could only think about it in her head.
The scorching sun in the sky, without the slightest mercy, completely ignored her, and still shot down obliquely, stinging her eyes and stinging her face. The mouth is even drier, the face is dehydrated and pale, and the body needs to replenish fresh water urgently.
"Ahem...... cough ......" She coughed so hard that even the muscles in her face were deformed. She raised her right hand with all her strength, trying to smooth out the wrinkled skin on her face, but it landed on her throat and touched the pendant. Overjoyed, she lifted the pendant to her face, opened her heavy eyelids, and a small pair of scissors came into view. If you look closely, there is a word engraved on the handle, and it is "white lotus" when read together.
"It turns out that my name is Bai Lian." There is a little warmth in my heart, at least when I am dying, I know my name, otherwise I will really regret it for life.
How sad it is for a person to leave the world and forget his name.
"Luckily! When I was about to leave this world, Heaven favored me once and let me know my name. ”
boat
A small boat hung with a canvas sounded the sound of an "sudden" engine, and appeared on the sea a hundred meters away from Bailian.
At this moment, Bai Lian was already unconscious, and she couldn't hear such a kind engine sound.
A tall* man in the bow of the ship, holding binoculars in both hands, looked around. Under the sun, Bai Lian's clothes show a colorful light. The light caused the man, who zoomed in and saw the white lotus floating on the sea.
"Master Li! To the southeast of us, there was a man floating on the sea. The man shouted, "Drive the boat over." ”
"Boss! Call the rescue team! We are out to play, touching these unlucky. Master Li, who sailed the boat, replied, "Bad luck! Besides, you don't usually do that. ”
"Less nonsense! Hurry up and get the boat over. After a pause, the man asked, "What's wrong with me on weekdays?" ”
Master Li knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he didn't dare to get angry, so he turned around and moved in the direction that the man was pointing at.
"Today, Lao Tzu, I am a bodhisattva." Seeing that Master Li didn't reply, the man continued, "Come out to play, if you encounter this situation, you can help." If a person is still alive, he will definitely not survive if he is left alone in the sea. You! I usually boast that I grew up in the sea, and say that the sea is your life. I see, your words are ......."
"Boss! It's here. Master Li interrupted the man's words and parked the boat next to Bai Lian. He looked at her face, and based on years of experience, she was not dead yet, "Boss! This woman is still saved. ”
"Hurry up and get her out into the water." The man commanded, "It's important to save people." ”
When Master Li jumped into the water, he thought that the boss's style today was completely different, maybe possessed by the sea god.
Ten minutes later, Bai Lian lay on the boat.
Less
The man looked at the slender white lotus, and then looked at Master Li with a pockmarked face, and couldn't bear to let him do artificial respiration, so he kneeled next to her and said to Master Li, "You go and get mineral water." ”
Master Li looked at the boss's actions and knew that it was time for him to stand by and help. The man pressed Bai Lian's chest - breathed - pressed his chest - breathed, after repeating it more than ten times. Bai Lian vomited water and slowly woke up. She looked blankly at the two men and struggled to sit up.
"Boss! Give, water. Master Li handed the mineral water to the man, silently walked back to the cockpit, and started the engine.
"Come on...... the man twisted the cap of the bottle, held the water bottle, and stretched out to the white lotus, "I have been in the sea water for a long time, my body is dehydrated, and I have to replenish fresh water." ”
"Thank you!" Bai Lian said weakly, "Thank you for saving me." She took the water bottle, dipped a few drops of water in her lips, and then slowly took a sip, feeling a little better in her stomach, and she gulped down the water.
"Slow down." The man snatched the water bottle from her hand, "Just came out of the sea, can't drink so fast." ”
"Thank you!"
"Where are you from?"
"I forgot."
"What's your name?"
Bai Lian looked at the pendant and looked at the two words again. "White Lotus." She said in a skeptical tone, "That's what my name should be." With that, she pulled up the pendant and pointed to the two words engraved.
"Pu Shao." The man said firmly, as if to pass on his confidence to her, "This is my name." ”
Dock
The sun above the sea, still hot, seemed to roast the sea to a boil.
Bai Lian drank two bottles of water, and her strength gradually recovered. However, another problem lay in front of her, she didn't know where she came from, where she was going, and what kind of person she was. When the white lotus regained her awakening, she was already floating in the sea. I can't remember when it happened, where it floated, and why I was alone in the sea. She felt like a baby born, knowing nothing, and all her memories had been snatched away by an invisible hand.
"Eat a bento." The man named Pu Shao handed a packet of biscuits to Bai Lian, "When you get to the shore, I'll take you to dinner." ”
Pu Shao sat across from her, put on his sunglasses, looked up at the sky, took a long breath, and said, "It's so strange for a woman to float alone in the sea. Moreover, the girl can't remember anything. Odd Woman! So...... Press the name of the scissor pendant: White Lotus...... Well! We'll call you White Lotus in the future, don't you mind? ”
Bai Lian picked up the pendant again, held it in his hand, and stared at the two words, "I should be called Bai Lian." That's how you called me that. Can't remember anything, though? How do I face the rest of my life? ”
"I need people, you can come and work with me." Pu Shao said in a steady tone, "If you have extraordinary skills, I am more willing." After speaking, Pu Shao got up, walked to the cockpit, and said to Master Li, "We should go back." ”
Master Li drove the boat back. Pu Shao walked back and sat opposite the white lotus. The two of them were talking about work. Bai Lian is very grateful for his life-saving grace, and she has already made up her mind to follow him, and she will not hesitate to go to the soup for him.
After the ship docked, Pu Shao led Bai Lian back to the company.
Since then, Bailian has a heart to repay her kindness and work for the common people. However, after two years, she didn't want to continue with this job.
