Chapter 29: Guo Mingming's Choice

Li Chaoyang was awakened in the middle of the night, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Han Xue was covering him with a blanket.

"Shh

Han Xue made a quiet gesture to signal Li Chaoyang not to speak, and pointed to a few people not far away, these people drank too much last night and simply slept on the beach chair, and they had already fallen asleep when they were snoring like thunder.

"I'm afraid you're freezing, do you want something to drink? I have hot water here. Han Xue handed over a thermos cup again.

Li Chaoyang rolled over and sat up and glanced at his watch.

"It's only three o'clock, why don't you go to bed?" Li Chaoyang asked.

"I can't sleep alone, I'm afraid." Han Xue pulled a chair and sat down, closed her eyes with her arms on her pillow.

Li Chaoyang was about to drink water when he suddenly found that the beach chair next to him was empty, and Guo Mingming was gone.

Where did he run so late?

"Did you see the guide?" Li Chaoyang asked.

"No, I guess I went to the toilet, or maybe I went to the cabin, that is, you really slept on the deck, what can happen on this big night?"

If it's really okay, it's a good thing, but now that the kidnapper is still lurking on the ship, Li Chaoyang has been suspicious of Guo Lighting from the beginning, if he is an accomplice, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Li Chaoyang glanced around, and there seemed to be a faint light in the captain's room not far away, as if someone was doing something inside with a flashlight.

He was shocked, could it be that Guo Mingming was doing something bad.

"Don't move here, I'll go up and have a look."

Li Chaoyang instructed and quickly touched the window of the captain's room, and took out the dagger from his waist.

Through the glass boat, you can clearly see a person holding a mobile phone and rummaging through a drawer.

Sure enough, it was really Guo Lighting.

Why doesn't he come here during the day and at night?

It didn't take long for Guo Mingming to sit down again, picked up the pen and seemed to be writing something, too far away Li Chaoyang really couldn't see clearly, so he moved a step forward, and didn't want to kick down a beer bottle, although he grabbed the bottle in time, it still alarmed Guo Mingming.

"Who?" Guo Mingming turned around and stared at the door, quickly stuffed the pen and paper into his pocket, grabbed the baton and walked over quickly.

couldn't run away, Li Chaoyang simply pushed the door and walked in.

"It's me, I'll look around when I'm gone, are you okay?" Li Chaoyang said.

"Oh, it's you, I can't sleep and look around." Guo Mingming smiled, as if he was fine.

"Really? Then you go to sleep for a while, and I'll patrol it. Li Chaoyang said.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

The two of them walked down one after the other, and for the sake of safety, Li Chaoyang deliberately walked behind, and Guo Mingming suddenly asked a very strange question.

"Do you believe in curses?"

"What curse?" Li Chaoyang asked rhetorically without any consideration.

"It's this boat, my hometown lives on the seashore, my grandfather has been fishing at sea all his life, when I was a child, I often heard them say that the sea has a soul, so every time they go out to sea before they go to worship Mazu, even if there is no place on the boat, there will be a shrine, if you offend the ghosts in the sea, you will be cursed, the cursed ship will have frequent accidents, grounding, dead people are common things, unless the ship is abandoned, everyone will die, these abandoned ships will become ghost ships, Several people have died on our ship, and the crew has run away, and I feel like we're really cursed. ”

Li Chaoyang had also heard about the ghost ship, there was no one on these boats, there was neither leakage nor damage, just floating on the sea, appearing and disappearing.

The most famous is the Black Pearl, which has been at sea for hundreds of years and is rumored to have seen it in the eighties.

The ship has been written in many novels and movies, and there are many legends about it.

Some people say that they encountered pirates and the crew ran away, and the pirates abandoned the ship after they ransacked it.

It is also said that a plague broke out on the Black Pearl, and everyone died.

But the most convincing version is that it was hit by a massive storm and the crew ran out.

It's like the Queen Mary cruise ship now.

"Don't be nervous, curses and stuff are fake."

Li Chaoyang smiled and comforted Guo Mingming.

If Guo Liang takes a look at Li Chaoyang's face at this time, he will find that his smile is particularly fake, and even a little terrifying.

The curse is like a nightmare, every time someone mentions that Li Chaoyang is calm on the surface, but it is like a thorn in his heart, and he can't help but think of Zhao Ya's family in his mind.

"No, sometimes don't say it too absolutely, I have a strong premonition that there will be deaths, and many people can't go back."

Guo Mingming sat in a chair, he took out a photo of the child from his wallet and gently stroked it, the little boy in the photo was covered in mud, holding a carp in both hands, and laughing heartily at the camera.

"How old are you?" Li Chaoyang asked sideways.

"Seven years old, in the first grade, the photo was taken at my grandfather's house." Guo Guangming handed over the photo.

Li Chaoyang took the photo and looked at it and smiled, this child was too happy, it reminded him of his childhood and his deceased parents. When Li Chaoyang was a child, he was also frail and sickly, and in order to treat him, his parents took him to run around and work day and night, and it took a lot of effort to snatch him back from the hands of death.

It's a pity that Li Chaoyang left him before he had time to repay his parents.

"What's wrong with him?"

"Chronic myelogenous leukemia plus congenital heart disease."

Li Chaoyang was silent, he still knew something about chronic myelogenous leukemia, and it was basically impossible to cure it at the current level of medical care, and the patient needed to take medicine for a long time to maintain, but the price of the drug was very high, and the average family could not afford it.

When the poor get this disease, they almost have to wait for death.

This child also has congenital heart disease, which is quite pitiful to think about.

The child waited for money to save his life, but he was trapped on the boat, no wonder Guo Mingming couldn't sleep.

"How much money is missing?" Li Chaoyang asked.

"It's a lot, the operation alone costs 300,000."

Li Chaoyang nodded and said, "If you can go back, I will pay for your child's medical expenses." ”

"Are you kidding?" Guo Mingming sat up and looked at Li Chaoyang in disbelief.

He and Li Chaoyang have no relatives and no reason, and Li Chaoyang has no reason to help him at all.

"What I'm saying is true, you're in a lawsuit, what if you really want to go to jail for your child? It just so happens that I have some money in hand, so I can help. ”

Guo Mingming's eyes were red, and he stammered when he spoke.

"Brother, you ...... This...... I'm not familiar with you, you don't have to, do you? ”

"In this case, count me as borrowing you, and then pay me back when you have money in the future, this is my WeChat, you take a photo and stay, and then add me when you get through the Internet." Li Chaoyang handed the mobile phone to Guo Mingming.

Guo Mingming hesitated, he couldn't believe it was true, but Li Chaoyang's sincere attitude didn't seem like he was lying.

Han Xue on the side couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "You can add it quickly, he is a great writer, he is not short of money at all, and he will donate a lot of money every year, not too much more than you." ”

This is true, Li Chaoyang has been keen on charity all these years.

He doesn't like comparisons, and he is very open to life, and money is a string of numbers to him.

Guo Mingming's hand reached into his pocket, Li Chaoyang noticed this detail, Guo Mingming is going to take out what he wrote?

After hesitating for a moment, Guo Mingming took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Thank you, brother, I will be content if you have this heart, but I can still handle it now, and I will look for you when I can't hold it anymore." ”

Guo Lighting actually refused.

His move suddenly made his image much taller, and also made Han Xue a little more admired.

Self-improvement, he is indeed a gentleman.

Li Chaoyang smiled and said nothing, Guo Mingming's pocket must have something very important, this thing is even more important than his son's life.
