Chapter 191: Heavenly Forsaken Island
Gu Chen seemed to have disappeared, there was no trace, and what made Zhou Fan even more guilty was that when he returned to the Xia and Zhou Empire, he only saw Long Yuxin's mausoleum, it turned out that Long Yuxin had already died of illness when he went to the top of Cangyu.
Time flies, Xingyu and Zhou Fan have been looking for the limelight for sixteen years, but there is no Gu Chen in the entire Tianyu Continent.
Perhaps, with the fall of the Demon Tribulation, Gu Chen has already died?
To the north of the Tianshan Mountains in the extreme north, there is an endless barren land, and further north, there is the vast North Sea, and there are islands in the North Sea.
But those islands, because of the lack of aura, are desert islands that are rarely inhabited.
Heavenly Forsaken Island, just like his name, in this aura-rich star world, he seems to have been ruthlessly abandoned by the heavens?
Although there are human traces on the island, there is no trace of aura on the island within a radius of more than 200 miles, and the people living there are ordinary mortals.
Long Sanhuai is a fisherman, now he is more than sixty years old, you know, the residents of Tianqi Island are difficult to live past sixty, he is very old, the limit is approaching, but in order to take care of the frail and sick daughter of the family, he has to continue to go out to sea to fish to make a living.
The risk of going to sea is very great, I don't know how many islanders die in the waves every year, so there are very few men on Tianqi Island, and he is most worried about the marriage of his daughter Long Yuxin now, you know, a blind girl, in this Tianqi Island, which is already lacking in men, is difficult to marry.
Speaking of the frail and sickly daughter, the old fisherman Long Sanhuai always had too many worries, he was worried that he would die and that she would have no one to take care of her.
In fact, Long Yuxin is not his biological daughter, he and his wife have been married for more than 20 years and have not had a son, they have begged God to worship Buddha many times, but they have not been able to conceive a son as they wish.
And the origin of Long Yuxin, it has to start from sixteen years ago, he remembers that time was out to sea, they encountered a strong wind and waves, three companions were swallowed up by the waves, he survived, there was no starlight in the sky, he lost his way at sea.
Until the night, he could not reach the shore, in the dark, he rowed on the sea with many years of experience as a fisherman, and the wind gusted in the dark night, which was already chilling, but he heard the sound of a baby crying.
It is rumored that there is a sea monster at sea, could it be that he met a sea monster?
Long Sanhuai was very frightened, and he hid in the boat and prayed for the blessing of the gods.
Until a long time has passed, the baby's crying is still not stopped, Long Sanhuai realized that something is wrong, this is just afraid, isn't it a sea monster?
Resisting the fear in his heart, he stepped out of the narrow window of the boat, and rowed the boat towards the cry not far away, and he saw a wooden basin in which a crying baby was wrapped.
What kind of person is so ruthless that he would abandon his infant child in this sea of suffering? Her life is really great! Such a big wave has not been swallowed up, and it seems that it is the will of heaven to be able to meet him.
Long Sanhuai picked up the child, looked at the well-behaved and lovely child, he smiled, for him, this is a gift from God!
The child was carried home by him, and his wife Liu explained everything, she was very happy, this is God's gift to them, the two thanked the heavens, let them grow old and have children, even if it is a baby girl, but at least there is a person to support them in old age.
The child's name is Long Yuxin.
Why, the girl has been sick since she was a child, but they are worried for a while, and the husband and wife take care of them carefully.
But their meager income was not enough to see a doctor for her, and a high fever burned the child's eyes, which later caused Long Yuxin to lose sight in both eyes, which made Long Sanhuai and his wife sad and guilty for a while.
Such a good child was ruined by them, which made his wife Liu have the urge to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, but fortunately, Long Sanhuai grabbed her and persuaded her that the child's eyes would be cured, even if they really couldn't be cured, they would have to take care of her for the rest of her life.
Time is very fast, in a blink of an eye, Long Yuxin is already fourteen years old, and this year, the fifty-year-old Liu passed away, which made Long Sanhuai and Long Yuxin's father and daughter sad for a while!
With the death of his wife, the sixty-year-old Long Sanhuai's body is not as good as before, and he can no longer go to sea too far in the old body, and it is difficult to catch big fish in the coastal waters, and their lives are getting poorer and poorer.
Last night's wind and waves were very big, Long Sanhuai was very happy, happy that he didn't sleep all night, because, such a big wind and waves will have a lot of big fish swept up on the beach on the shore, the sky will be bright, Long Sanhuai can't wait to come to the beach, on the beach that is still wet, early in the morning, the sun rises, he has picked up more than 100 catties of big fish!
The cold sea was very humid, Long Sanhuai had to use spirits to drive away the cold, a night of sleeplessness, plus a toss on the beach, he was a little tired, put the big fish he picked up in the sack, he took a sip of the spirits, the wrinkled old face smiled, there has been no such harvest for a long time, he thought that with these fish, he would be very happy to pick up two pairs of good medicine for his daughter.
"Father, I'm back for dinner. "A young girl groped her way with a cane.
"Xin'er, you slow down, it's the cold season, the sea is very windy, you don't have to catch a cold. Looking at his blind daughter, the old fisherman felt a heartache, God gave him such a smart and well-behaved daughter, but he didn't know how to take good care of it, let a wind chill, let her lose her eyes, at this moment, how he wished that he was blind!
"Father, I am in the house every day, very stuffy, and after a long time, I am afraid that if I am not sick, I will be bored. ”
"Well, since your mother died, no one has been with you, and I have been busy going to sea every day, and I have indeed smothered you......" said the old fisherman, who was in tears when he was nostalgic for his wife, and if he had to take care of his blind daughter, he would have gone down to accompany her.
Long Yuxin could obviously feel her father's sadness, and said: "Father, don't be sad, everything is bad for Xin'er, if my eyes are ......" Before she could speak, the old fisherman had already interrupted her.
The old fisherman took a sip of strong wine and said with a forced smile: "Xin'er, what do you say, your eyes will definitely be good, definitely!"
Long Yuxin also smiled: "Well, father, it will be fine, and the eyes will definitely be good." She turned her head, but tears flowed down her cheeks......
Looking at Long Yuxin strolling away on the beach, the old fisherman said: "Xin'er, be careful, don't go far." ”
The girl's voice came, and said, "Father, you can rest, my mother has accompanied me in these places before her death, I don't know how many times, I am very familiar with it." There is no doubt that in the past countless sunsets, maidens would accompany the old woman to and fro on this shore, praying in their hearts for the blessing of the gods for the old man's safe return.
She was already familiar with the stretch of the road.
The old man only watched his daughter silently from a distance, the strong wine was in his stomach, the biting cold wind blew, he coughed, and spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, he knew that there was not much limit, and he was even more worried.
But he couldn't die! Because he died, who would take care of his blind and sick daughter?
"Oops!" Long Yuxin only felt that something tripped under her feet, and she fell on the beach.
She kicked the thing that tripped over her, and it was soft, and when she touched it with her hand, it was a person!
"Xin'er, what's wrong with you?" asked the old fisherman as he turned to the girl who had fallen to the ground.
"Father, quick, come here, there's a man here!"
"Anyone?" said the old fisherman, for he had not seen anyone when he had just picked up the fish.
He walked in the direction of the girl, and he did see a man, a man half-hidden in the sand, which must have been washed out of the buried sand by the ebbing tide of the tide.
"Xin'er, don't touch it, be careful, this person is only afraid of death!" As soon as these words came out, Long Yuxin was frightened and hurriedly took a few steps back.
The old fisherman came forward to investigate, and the man was a young man, but it was indeed a long time dead, and the body was already cold.
Long Yuxin asked on the side, "Father, is he...... Is he dead?"
"Well, he's been dead for a long time. ”
"And he...... Isn't it our people who go to sea in Arahai Town?"
"It's a stranger, it should be someone who went out to sea to fish in other villages and towns, and unfortunately died from the invasion of the waves, right?"
The deceased was careful to settle in the ground, and Long Sanhuai moved the body to a small forest not far from the shore, which was specially used to bury the nameless corpses of those who had wandered to the seashore.
He found tools, dug a big pit, and was about to bury the body, however, just as he was moving the body, he found that the cold corpse moved, and he thought it was the old eyes faint, but when he looked closely, the corpse actually sat up by itself!
"The corpse?" the old fisherman sat down on the ground in fright, kept retreating, and said in horror: "You...... Don't come here! You're dead, why are you still cheating corpses, do you still want to harm people?"
"This ...... Where is this? Am I dead?" the corpse said blankly.
The old fisherman was so old that he could naturally distinguish between life and death, and he had already seen that the young man had indeed come to life, so he asked: "Young man, you have a great life, and you have indeed come back to life, let me ask you, where is your hometown?"
The young man looked at the old fisherman in confusion and said, "So I came back to life, and where is my hometown?"
The old fisherman could see that the young man in front of him was only afraid that he was frightened, and his brain was only afraid that something was wrong, so he said, "Young man, what is your name?"
"What's my name?" the young man's eyes became even more confused.
"Father, are you alright?How can I hear you talking to someone?Isn't that person dead?" It was Long Yuxin's voice that came, she had already groped her way with her cane and walked towards the old fisherman, obviously, the blind man's hearing was indeed better than that of ordinary people.
"Xin'er, why are you here?" In the jungle, he was worried that Long Yuxin would trip over the grass and trees.
The young man's confused eyes looked at Long Yuxin, he was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The old fisherman smiled in his heart, thinking that if there was such a person who had lost his memory, he could take a fancy to his daughter Long Yuxin, help him take care of her for the rest of his life, and let him die immediately.
