On the last day of the harvest month, Magnolia Harbor was exceptionally empty, because today was the day of the predicted tsunami. The empty harbor exudes a depressing dead air, like a ghost city in the underworld.

Contrary to the atmosphere of the port, the weather was unusually clear and the sun was dazzling.

Elizabeth stood at the end of the wooden bridge, holding a parasol to keep out the strong sunlight. She looked serene, holding a glass vase in her left hand with a lonely white magnolia flower in it. There was a hint of anticipation in her lowered eyes.

The name "Donk ......" spat out from thin, reddish lips, but received no response.

The ship that was supposed to have appeared still did not appear, the sea rippled in the wind, and the tsunami was nowhere to be seen.

Time passed, the sun moved overhead, and Elizabeth stood motionless until now, without eating or drinking, and the only thing that changed in her was the growing anxiety in her eyes.

Time continued in its relentless style, ticking into the evening, the sun sank completely, and the heavens and the earth were reduced to darkness. Elizabeth closed the parasol in frustration and held the umbrella and vase in front of her.

An old woman with gray hair came from the darkness and stood beside Elizabeth, who only appeared at night, and who, like Elizabeth, waited for people here.

"Little girl, aren't you going to hide from the tsunami? I heard that the port would be flooded today. The old woman asked.

"As long as I don't exceed the agreed date, I will keep waiting. I'm sure he'll come. Elizabeth said firmly.

The old woman was very short, and she looked up at Elizabeth with a kind smile.

"You're waiting for a lover. The only thing in the world that people can wait for is love. ”

"Yes." Elizabeth nodded, "Old woman, is the person you have been waiting for also a lover?" ”

"Hehe, of course."

"How many years have you waited?"

"I'm too old to remember. I just remember that when I first waited for him, he was as tall and pretty as you are. ”

From being young and beautiful to the passage of time, it will span at least 40 years. Anyone can guess that the old woman will definitely not be able to wait for her lover.

Elizabeth's eyes flickered and her mouth opened in surprise. She was worried about Tang Ke before, and she had never talked deeply with this mother-in-law, but today she realized that this mother-in-law was so affectionate.

"Do you have an agreement with him?" There was a hint of dryness in Elizabeth's voice.

"Of course there is an agreement, that day he went out to sea to fish, and before leaving, he waved to me and said that he would definitely come back, and he would marry me when he came back." The old woman was filled with incredible joy.

"God is cruel." Elizabeth's expression darkened, and she couldn't bear to continue to ask. The bubble of mother-in-law's self-deception is so beautiful, why bother to pop it.

A stumbling footstep sounded from behind Elizabeth, followed by a burping voice: "Am I dazzled?" How could anyone be here? She's still a pretty girl. Feed! Anyway, the tsunami is coming, and we all have to die, so let's have some fun before we die. ”

Elizabeth was immersed in the emotion she had received, deaf to the voices behind her, still staring at the black waves in front of her.

"Hey! Did you hear me? I'm going to die in the tsunami anyway, so why don't you come and have fun? Uncle, I'm very good. The drunken man approached step by step, swallowing the smell of wine, and said indistinctly.

"A man like you will be hated, don't bother her, get out of here quickly." The old lady turned back and admonished.

"Dead old lady, get out of here!"

"What a rude drunk. It's because drinking becomes like this that I don't let my family drink. ”

"I'm not interested in the old lady, even if the tsunami comes, I won't touch you." The drunkard is talking nonsense without a damn back.

Elizabeth heard approaching footsteps, beyond the limits of her patience, and she closed her eyes and drew the sword of oath at her waist. As soon as the crisp voice fell, two third-order sword spirits appeared around, and the sword spirits flashed across without waiting for the drunkard to make a sound.

The drunk, who had been cut into several pieces, fell into the icy water, and only the blood-stained bottles dripped and swirled on the wooden boards.

"Little girl, look at your Sven Wen, you are really ruthless when you move your hands." The old lady opened her eyes slightly and said in surprise.

"Sorry to frighten you. But the foul language he just said was really unbearable to me, and I was really not in a good mood right now. Elizabeth said apologetically, and returned the sword to the sheath, and the two sword spirits turned into nothingness.

The old woman smiled and waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm the sailor's fiancée, and I'm not afraid of anything." However, even if you don't do it just now, I will protect you. ”

Elizabeth reluctantly responded with a smile, taking what the old woman said as a joke. No matter how you look at it, this old woman is vulnerable.

The low roar of "boom ......" came from afar, like thousands of horses galloping and soldiers on the battlefield.

Donk didn't come, but the prophesied tsunami did. There was a volcano at the bottom of the sea that erupted, and the huge impact caused the sea to set off huge waves, wave after wave, gradually expanding, and pushing to the shore. It was nature's wrath that the tsunami was enough to sweep through the land along the coast, destroying houses and uprooting trees.

"It's too late to run away now, you look very good, and you must be running fast." The old woman kindly reminded.

"What if I'm gone and he comes?" Eliza fantasized during the day.

"No ship can sail in a tsunami, he can't come at all."

"And what are you waiting for?" Elizabeth was anxious, and her words were also anxious, "Can the person you are waiting for come?" I'm going to wait until the tsunami reaches my eyes. ”

The old woman sighed, "I don't want you to follow in my footsteps." ”

"I won't be like you, I'll be able to wait for him." Elizabeth was a bit reckless.

The tsunami was so fierce that it was about to swallow up the fragile wooden bridge in a matter of minutes. A huge rumbling sound resounded through the night sky, and the waves reached a terrifying height of thirty yards, like a wall of water.

Elizabeth closed her eyes resolutely, and in a few seconds she would have to turn away, unable to survive the tsunami, even if she wanted to wait until the end. There was endless disappointment in her heart, why did Donk miss the appointment? Although there was a tsunami today, the first 29 days of this month were obviously windy and beautiful. It doesn't matter if he doesn't come, but why didn't he send someone? Could it be that those people were shipwrecked and therefore did not come? Could it be that God doesn't want them to be together?

All kinds of questions hit her heart and shook her with a burst of pain.

"Sorry, I swam a little slower." A voice that had not been heard for a long time suddenly sounded.

Elizabeth opened her eyes in surprise, only to see a figure leap out of the dark water, leaping onto the wooden bridge, it was the same Donk she had been waiting for! Her heart jumped wildly, and she asked, "Am I dreaming?" ”

Donk didn't answer, and gave a real hug, and through his cold body, he could still feel the temperature like fire.

It's him, it's really him.

Elizabeth increased the strength of the hug, and although she was extremely happy in her heart, she slammed Donk's back a few times, and complained, "Why did you come?" I've been waiting for you for a whole month, standing here stupidly every day, but day by day, you don't even have a shadow! ”

Donk patted her on the back and comforted, "Okay, okay, don't cry, I'm not here." ”

Elizabeth pushed him away, and said with red eyes, "Who cried, I am strong." ”

Donk looked at her left and right, and smiled, "I still think you're going to cry." It seems that the heat is still not enough, I should come later. ”

"If you're late, see how I clean you up later."

"How can you clean me up? Your little fists don't hurt when they hit me. Tang Ke has the attitude that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

"Hmph, I'm not uncommon to beat you. I have other ways to clean you up, my mother taught me before, it's amazing! Elizabeth's beautiful eyes rolled and gave him a blank look.

If it weren't for the tsunami, the fiancé would continue to talk about it, and as the tsunami approached, some extremely powerful water spots had already hit the three of them.

Donk glanced back, restrained his smile, and when he turned his head, he glanced at the old woman again and asked, "Who is she?" Do you want to take them with you? ”

"You don't have to worry about me, let's go." The old woman said with a smile, showing envious eyes, "Little girl, congratulations, you have come to wait for the person you are waiting for." ”

Elizabeth said hurriedly: "Mother-in-law, if you want to wait, you can wait until the tsunami leaves." Come with us now. ”

The old woman smiled and shook her head.

Tang Ke was too lazy to persuade people, and he didn't have time to ask more, so he directly reached out to grab the old woman, but his hand passed directly through this old body! He and Elizabeth shouted in unison, "The undead! ”

Elizabeth suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the old woman had just said that she could protect her.

"So you can't take me with you, and you don't have to worry about me getting into a tsunami. Alright, let's go. If you don't leave, you'll get wet. The old woman smiled and waved her hand.

Elizabeth bit her lip and waved goodbye, "Old woman, I wish you the same to wait for the person you are waiting for." ”

"I wish you happiness, too." The old woman nodded.

"It hurts to be hit by a tsunami, Elizabeth, let's go." Tang Ke pulled out the black sword, grabbed Elizabeth with his other hand, and the sword qi pierced through and flew into the air. He was flying in search of a vantage point, and as long as there was a hill to survive the tsunami.

Elizabeth couldn't help but look down.

The tsunami has opened the maws of the beast and is about to swallow the dock. The old woman looked small in the face of the tsunami.

In the midst of the tsunami, the shadow of an old sailing ship loomed, at least 400 years ago. There was a young sailor on board waving at the old woman.

The next moment, the tsunami washed away the dreamlike scene, and the old woman disappeared with the sailboat.
