Chapter 216: Grief

"Sending away brothers and sisters who have passed away again and again. My heart is not sorrowful, for I know that they have rested, and are free from the toil and troubles of the world forever...... My sister Alphonda Tol, I pray that the Lord will comfort you, bless you, and be with you...... Do not be anxious, for we will gather together forever in heaven. ”

Xu Zhonglin and Lisa were strolling back when they heard such a poignant hymn. The singing is not good, and there are many places that are obviously out of tune, but the voice is very clear, and the feelings are sincere, and everyone can hear the deep sorrow revealed in it.

Walking over, I noticed that there were already a lot of people gathered around, Cato and Elena.

A young girl is quietly surrounded by the crowd in the middle of the circle, the girl kneels on the ground with her back to the crowd and faces the sea, holding a burning candle in both hands, singing over and over again......

The sea breeze is blowing, and the four fields are lonely.

After a long time, the girl stood up.

"Savoya, why didn't you go with your admiral?" Elena asked.

Savoya shook her head: "I want to pay tribute to Sister Alphonda Tor first. ”

"Please mourn."

"Thank you just now, my Admiral has gone a little too far, and I want to say sorry to you."

Catherine doesn't eat this, Mao Mei only has friends and enemies in her eyes: "Hmph! No, you better apologize to Lisa, we don't need to. ”

Savoya walked up to Lisa and bent her knees, "I'm sorry, Miss Gratini. You are a very good hostess, Sister Afonda Torre praised you during her lifetime, and we would very much like you to manage us. The Admiral is just in a hurry, and he has no ill intentions, and I hope you will forgive him. ”

Lisa helped the other party up: "Let it pass if it's passed, don't be too sad." ”

Savoya's tone was low, as if she was talking, and as if talking to herself: "Sister Alphonda Tor is a very respectable ship's mother, she has done good deeds all her life, she has always taken care of our emotions, she cares about everyone in the team, and before leaving, she told us to take care of ourselves, but I didn't notice that she couldn't hold on at that time......"

Mao Mei said it was unreasonable: "Hmph! If what you say is so good, why don't the others stay and pay their respects to her? ”

Catherine, who loves and hates clearly, is still angry that her admiral was pointed at gunpoint.

Savoya didn't speak, just silently held back tears.

Xu Zhonglin felt that it was not interesting to bully a lonely little girl, so he gestured with his eyes, stopped Catherine, and stepped forward to comfort Savoya: "You sang very well just now, I believe that Alphonda Tor will also watch you silently in heaven, so you have to be strong." ”

"Hmmm! But I ...... I sang it very hard, I didn't expect so many of you to come. ”

"It's okay, it's good that the heart arrives, Afonda Toll will definitely feel it."

At this time, Savoya cast a hopeful gaze: "Admiral Xu, I heard that you sing very well, can you help me sing a song to my sister and send her?" ”

This request surprised Xu Zhonglin, he didn't expect his reputation to spread so widely, and then look at the clothes on Savoya's body, it was obvious that they were from the hands of Rena and them, and it seemed that she was a little fan girl again.

Xu Zhonglin thought for a while: "Then I'll sing a song." I've wanted to sing this song for a long time, Elena, Margaret, Ekaterina, Alexandrovna, Rena...... Each of these shipwives under my command has their own persistence and stubbornness that would rather give their lives than maintain, just like your sister Alphonda Tol, this song is also given to her. ”

"When I'm different from the world, that's when I'm different. Persistence for me is to overcome the ...... Me and my last stubbornness, clenched our hands and never let go, the next stop is not heaven, even if we are disappointed, we can't despair......"

There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people. Mao Mei listened to Xu Zhonglin's singing and thought of the hardships she had suffered over the years since she was exiled; Elena and Margaret hear the awkward situation of the North African faction trying to survive; Lisa thought about the ordeal of supporting her family alone; Lily thought of the Mixed Combat Sect in the middle of the cautious struggle......

No one knew what Savoya thought, and the little girl just bowed deeply to Xu Zhonglin and left silently.

There is the sorrow of being alive, and there is the serenity of dying when you die.

Xu Zhonglin did not know now that his unintentional move would save the entire fleet in the future. Participated in a dispute, attended a memorial service, everyone was in a bad mood, and went back to their rooms to wait for dawn.

"I hope I can die in a convenient place for people to pay their respects, it's too lonely to lie alone on the cold bottom of the sea." As she returned, Margaret walked side by side with the Admiral on the path in the middle of the lawn with her head bowed.

"Haha, then I guess I can't see it. Each of you is an old goblin, and no one knows how long you will live. I'm only 100 years at most, a hundred years from now. You're going to come and see me once a year. I like big wave girls, remember to burn me a few more. ”

"Nasty! Where? We are both eighteen this year, seventeen next year. ”

"Good! Good...... You will always be seventeen years old. ”

As long as it can dilute the sad atmosphere, what does Xu Zhonglin care about?

Mao Mei was very ignorant, Ekaterina looked down at her career line, and rubbed her hands uncomfortably: "Admiral, is this what Big Bo Mei means?" ”

Ahem, should the fighting nation be so straightforward?

……

When the first rays of the morning fell on the sea, a huge fleet was reflected.

Anne stood on the bridge, watching the planes on the deck take off one after another in an orderly manner, and stretched out her chubby little hand: "The Heavenly Justice Brigade takes off!" ”

"Why are we calling the Heavenly Justice Brigade?"

The newcomers, Athena, Alicia, and Lame are puzzled by the Admiral's casual names, such as the Cult of Violence led by Barcelissa, who has already gone to sea first.

"The Admiral said that every bomb and torpedo we have is on behalf of justice to destroy the enemy, and the attacks are all from the sky, so naturally we must call the Heaven Justice Brigade." Anne looked like she was right-on-place.

Alicia was a little worried: "There is mist on the sea today, which is not good for our search." ”

"It's okay, we just need to take turns to take off the planes and block all the exit routes, and the other Barcel Lisa will naturally solve it."

"Oh? Is that unreliable guy in Barcelisa so good? ”

Anne looked cute: "The Admiral said, this is called pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and Barcelisa is the most powerful anti-submarine expert here, no problem." ”

Athena touched Annie's little head with satisfaction: "Yes, little Annie, you have changed a lot, it seems that Sister Shengli made a decision that is not wrong, and it is indeed the best choice to let you follow the Admiral." ”

Anne just smiled and didn't speak. She is just shy, which does not mean that her mind is immature, and the Admiral naturally knows whether she is good or not. The places where I used to stay were all jobs, and only the place where the Admiral was there was home. For the sake of the Admiral, for the sake of this family, Anne is willing to sacrifice everything, let alone make some small changes?
