Chapter One Hundred and Four
There was a lot of strength in numbers, and it didn't take long for us to move all the icemen in the bilge of the ship outside. Considering the force, we didn't dare to smash the ice directly, but found a small flamethrower in the residential area.
Eight people, three men and five women, were rescued from the ice, but seven were dead. There was one woman left, and I looked very familiar, but I couldn't tell where I had seen it. We carried her to the living quarters and asked Chen Lan and the other girls to find clean clothes for her to change into.
After feeding her a little water, let her lie down first and wrap her tightly in the quilt. There was no discussion about who this girl was or why she was being held there. I didn't think much about her identity, but I habitually went to the roof of the cab every day to blow the wind.
I don't know where I got the habit from, I always feel that staying in the room is a kind of torture, there is no one, no, there are people, there are them. There are Chen Lan, Xin Mei, and ......
Who else, I can't remember. Anyway, I hate being in an enclosed space, and every day except to see if the girl has a chance of surviving, is to sit on the roof of the cab.
There was a woman on deck, standing at the guardrail every day looking into the distance, and I didn't know what she was waiting for. I only know that her expression looks very sad, extremely sad. But she doesn't speak, never says a word.
Such boring days passed quickly, and a week passed in the blink of an eye. The girl woke up, and when she saw me, she called me cousin. She said that her name was Chen Berry and that she was related to me. But I can't remember when I had such a cousin.
She is very sensitive and always afraid that someone will take her away again. She didn't want to stay in the neighborhood either, she told me that there was a madman there, a lot of people who were so old that they didn't know who they were talking to, and a person with autism and paranoia who sat at the door of his room all day and said that his son was sleeping in it.
My cousin was with me every day on the top of the wheelhouse looking into the distance, and Xin Mei also began to feel a little abnormal, she always locked herself in the wheelhouse, saying that she was the captain of the ship and wanted to find a place with sunshine.
The people on this boat are not normal, and the other day, I met a woman in the restaurant, who said that she was dating a handsome man. But there, except for her is air. There were four rooms in the bottom of the ship, and there were people inside, also a woman, who said that she and her brother had been arrested and could not get out.
Amusing! The door was obviously open, and one of us was missing, but I couldn't remember who she was.
"Cousin, why are we on the boat?" I was bored sitting that day, and I suddenly asked her this question.
She blinked her two big eyes and pouted, "How do I know?" Cousin, don't you want to be with me? ”
"It's not." I had a feeling I couldn't put it into words, "Don't you think, it's too quiet?" ”
"Quiet?" Chen Berry said, listened very carefully, and said, "No, cousin, can't you hear it?" That old madman is still singing. ”
"It's not the kind of silence that no one talks to." I argued, "Yes, there are people who speak, but it always feels like we're not in the same world, so how can I say it?" Lifeless, yes, that's it. ”
Chen Berry smiled, looked at me and said, "Cousin, you must be too tired, so you are a little uncomfortable." Otherwise, let's go back. ”
I nodded my head and let her take my hand and slowly descend from the cab, step by step to my room.
Bang! I almost jumped up with a start, and when I turned my head to see that it was someone in the cab. With an exaggerated smile, she slapped the glass hard, laughing as she slapped.
"It's scary, cousin, let's hurry up." Chen Berry told me.
I quickly escaped and returned to my room, where the old madman's song was singing in the main quarters. But I'm not so irritable anymore, I sit in the chair, look at Chen Berry, I always think she is so good-looking, nose, eyes and mouth, I can't find any fault.
"Cousin, what are you looking at?" Chen Berry looked away a little shyly.
"No one told me that my cousin was such a beautiful woman." I said with a stammer.
Chen Berry sat across from me, with his hands on his cheeks, lying on the table, looking at me and saying, "I never knew I had such a smart cousin, but unfortunately, we are cousins." ”
"What if not?" I asked.
"Isn't it?" Chen Berry rolled his eyes and said, "If not, we don't know each other, how do I know?" ”
"Don't recognize?" I chewed this sentence repeatedly in my mouth, looking down at my hands, the most abnormal thing in the past two days is that my hands always feel itchy, as if something is crawling inside.
"Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Chen Berry asked with a wave at me.
I put my hand back on the table, looked up at her, and asked, "Cousin, haven't we seen each other for a long time?" ”
"Yes." She nodded innocently, "It's been a long time since I was captured by wildfire, and I can't remember the days clearly." ”
"Wildfire?" The word pierced my heart like a needle, and I frowned and said, "The wildfire captured you, and I came here to save you, so we haven't seen each other for a long time, who asked me to save you?" ”
"It's got to be my dad." Chen Berry replied. "I can't imagine anyone else who cares so much about me but him."
"Your father, my uncle......" I said, but my mind was already wandering. Suddenly a thin man appeared in my head, unshaven, and just like that, he came to my house, sat down in front of me, took my hand, and asked me to find someone.
Then, did I find it? I couldn't help but ask myself, the image kept coming, I went to a school and got involved in a case......
"Cousin?" Chen Berry suddenly called me loudly.
"Huh?" I looked up at her, "What's wrong?" ”
"I should ask you that, right?" Chen Berry said, "I've been calling you for a long time, but I just ignored me." ”
"It's okay, I'll go out and sit." I said, and without waiting for her to reply, I got up and went outside.
When I came back to the deck, the woman was still looking at the sea, and I walked to the edge of the guardrail, but it was pitch black in the distance, and I couldn't see anything clearly. I looked down at the water below, and the dim surface of the water seemed to be shining a little brighter, red.
Slowly, that little bit turned into two, three, countless dots! Suddenly a picture of a man jumping down desperately appeared in my mind, I shook my head, that person, it seems to be me!
"Cousin!" Chen Berry followed, shouting from behind.
But I don't know what drove me, so I gritted my teeth, jumped over the guardrail, and plunged headlong into the water!
