Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Foreign Country
"Dad, be careful when you go to the beach." The girl leaned against the doorway, concerned about her father.
"Don't worry, Fluttershy, your dad and I will catch the big fish today." The father assured by taking a picture of his chest, and then disappeared from the girl's field of vision.
The girl clasped her hands together and put them on her chest, lowered her head and closed her eyes, and then prayed reverently: "I hope that today Father will also come back safely." ”
The girl named Fluttershy prays for her father every day, as it is dangerous to go to the beach to catch fish as a normal person, and all she can do is pray every day.
Whether it's a raging ocean current or a mutated sea creature, it could kill you in the next second.
And those safe fishing places are occupied by those who are able, and no one is allowed to approach them casually.
Fluttershy, who has no member of her family who is capable or local, is bullied.
Not only do you have to go to dangerous places to fish, but there are also people who come to collect them every day, which is called "protection money".
But Fluttershy has never seen these protection money collectors protect them.
Fluttershy returns to the house, where a man lies on the only bed in the room, and Fluttershy picks up her shabby clothes to use as a towel and wipes the man's body.
As she rubs it, Fluttershy's face turns red, like a cloud of fire.
Fluttershy has to stop, as the disease has been tormenting her since the end of the world, causing her body to become feverish and comatose if she is overworked.
Fortunately, as long as you don't get tired, it doesn't matter, and there is nothing uncomfortable other than that.
Fluttershy has survived until now, barely ever leaving the house.
I don't know if I should say unfortunate or lucky.
Fluttershy rests for a while, and continues to wipe the unconscious man after recovering.
Suddenly, there is the sound of footsteps outside the door, and Fluttershy panics, looking around, and realizes that there is no place to hide.
"That's right."
Fluttershy looks at the unconscious man on the bed.
Fluttershy then climbs onto the bed and burrows into the man's bed, clinging to the man's side, trying to hide his eyes.
"Squeak~"
The door was carefully pushed open, but it was in disrepair and made a painful sound.
Seeing this, the visitor directly pushed the door open with a palm.
"Huh?" The man paused and said suspiciously, "Is there no one?" ”
Then comes the sound of the door closing, and Fluttershy breathes a sigh of relief, which really scared her to death.
Fluttershy is about to stick her head out when she hears a man's gasp.
"It's not this one around, there's someone else in the house."
Fluttershy knows she's exposed, but the other party clearly wants to play tricks on her, so she doesn't reveal her.
But this situation doesn't last long, and once the man loses patience and doesn't want to play anymore, he can pull her out at any time.
It was clear that the man hiding in the house was not very patient and had begun to approach the bed.
As the footsteps get closer, the man next to Fluttershy shuddered and sat up suddenly.
Fluttershy is suddenly exposed, unsure of what to do.
The man who had just approached the bed was obviously frightened, but with a fierce look in his eyes, the short knife in his hand slashed at the throat of the man who suddenly got up in front of him.
"Ding~"
The short knife in the man's hand slashed him in the neck, but instead of the blood gushing as expected, it seemed to be cut into a stone.
The man who woke up looked at the man with a shocked face, and then at the knife around his neck.
"My lord spared my life, it was my eyes that collided with my adult, my lord spared my life." The man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Japanese? Did I come to Japan? It was Xu Yitian who woke up, listening to the language of the chatter, although he couldn't understand it, he could still tell it was Japanese.
Xu Yitian hadn't figured out what was going on in front of him, but it was true that the man in front of him wanted to kill him.
Thinking of this, Xu Yitian's eyes revealed killing intent, and he just wanted to take action to deal with him, but the girl behind him saved his arm.
"You don't kill him." The girl speaks fluent Chinese.
Xu Yitian asked, "Why?" ”
"He's a subordinate of Lord Shangfeng, and it will be troublesome to kill him." The girl explained.
Xu Yitian pondered for a while, thinking that letting him go would not pose any threat to him anyway.
So Xu Yitian opened his mouth and said: "Then you tell him and let him get out of here." ”
The girl nodded and said to the Japanese kneeling on the ground, "Go away." ”
The man hurriedly got up and left, for fear that they would regret it.
"Are you Chinese?" Xu Yitian asked.
"Well, my name is Shao Xiaodie, and my Japanese pseudonym is Miai Honda." Shao Xiaodie said.
"Where is this in Japan?" Xu Yitian must first figure out his position before he can make the next step.
"Kagoshima, Minami-Kyushu City." Shao replied.
Xu Yitian then asked, "What is the situation here now?" ”
Shao Xiaodie shook her head: "I don't know much, when my father comes back, you can ask him." ”
"Okay."
Xu Yitian had no choice but to sit on the edge of the bed, and this was the only place in the whole room to sit.
The sky was getting darker, and Xu Yitian couldn't help but ask, "What time did your father come back?" ”
"Not sure, but I'll be back before dark." Shao Xiaodie is also a little worried about her father's rise.
"Do you know where your dad usually goes?" Xu Yitian felt that it was not a way to wait.
"I know."
"Then lead me." Xu Yitian said.
Shao Xiaodie's expression struggled, but she still decided: "I'll take you." ”
Shao Xiaodie walked out of the house, and the cold wind blew on her, and her body couldn't help but shiver.
Seeing this, Xu Yitian picked up the quilt and wrapped the little girl, then hugged it and said, "You just show the way." ”
Shao Xiaodie didn't struggle, and showed Xu Yitian the way very well.
With Xu Yitian's footsteps, he arrived at his destination in less than ten minutes and found a man lying aside.
Shao Xiaodie is shocked that it is none other than her father, Naoto Honda, who falls to the ground.
"Daddy!"
Shao Xiaodie struggled to jump out of Xu Yitian's arms and fell to the ground, but she immediately got up and staggered to Naoto Honda.
But no matter what she called, Naoto Honda didn't react.
Xu Yitian could sense that the man was still alive, but the breath of life was very weak.
"Your dad is still alive, he has no wounds on his body, probably from exhaustion." Xu Yitian checked it and said.
Shao Xiaodie then remembered that every time she ate, her father always ate only a little and left most of the meal for her.
Shao asks him why he doesn't eat more.
Naoto Honda always smiled and told her, "I've eaten it by the sea, otherwise I wouldn't have the strength to catch fish." ”
Shao Xiaodie believed it.
But
But
Shao Xiaodie's tears couldn't stop staying.
But I didn't cry for long, and suddenly I passed out.
Xu Yitian sighed, "It's your reward for saving me." ”
Xu Yitian first settled the two of them, and then came to the beach.
I saw Xu Yitian clasp his hands forward, and then pulled back, only to see more than a dozen fish being pulled out of the water, as if there was an invisible rope to catch them.
Xu Yitian repeated it a few more times, looking at the fish lying all over the ground beside him, and then stopped with satisfaction.
Then an invisible net lifted all the fish and levitated behind Xu Yitian.
Xu Yitian came to the father and daughter's side, lifted one in one hand, and walked in the direction of their home.
