Chapter 287: Emotion
"Crazy?" said Charles, turning his head to look in the direction of the voice.
His own sailor, West, was just across the street with a large and two small ones, and looking at the large bags in their hands, it seemed that they had come to shop.
Seeing his captain's gaze sweep over, the apple juice in West's frightened hand was unstable, and he stopped in front of his brother and was about to say something.
Charles had already rushed over and pulled him away with his hands, and he half-crouched down to look at the seven or eight-year-old boy in front of him. "Have you seen me?"
Seeing Charles's fierce face, West's younger brother shrank behind his mother with some fear.
Yelena also widened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her.
At first, she thought that her youngest son had made a mistake, but after closer inspection, the more she looked at it, the more it looked like it.
The tattoo on the neck that spread to the face, pressed the left arm of the prosthetic. And a scar on his face.
All of this indicates that this man is really the madman, the madman who has been at their doorstep for almost a year.
Suddenly meeting the old man, Yelena did not panic, but showed a smile of relief on her face.
She touched Charles's face like a child, "I didn't expect you to wake up, it's really good." I knew it was better to be alive than dead. ”
Looking at the hand of the old woman in front of him, Charles did not hide, and the woman with wrinkles on her face in front of her had an inexplicable sense of familiarity,
"This lady, have you seen me too?
"Of course I've seen you, you've been squatting not far from our house for a long time, and I usually have some leftovers, so I left you a copy. You were so crazy that you drank water from the gutter. ”
I have to say that this world is really small, Charles really didn't expect that he would meet people here and he went crazy to come into contact with.
He looked at West, who was about to speak, "The reason this kid is so familiar, is it because I saw him when I was crazy?"
When Elena saw the sketchpad behind Charles, there was a hint of surprise in her voice. "Kid, are you a painter now?"
"Mother, he's not—" West stepped forward and was about to explain, when Charles gave Charles a look.
"Yes, ma'am, I'm a painter. Charles replied in a rare gentle voice.
Yelena nodded approvingly. "It's good that there is a craft that makes money and you won't starve to death, by the way, can you help our family of four draw one? Since his father died, our family has never painted a family painting again. ”
Thinking of the broken brush, Charles shook his head more and more. "Sorry, next time, my brushes are broken, I have time to give you a free one. ”
"Okay, okay, then you can go back quickly, your beautiful wife must be waiting for you to come home for dinner, right?" Elena smiled and nodded, she liked this kind of good thing to happen.
"Wife, have you seen my wife, Anna?" Charles's eyes widened.
"That girl's name is Anna, she's so beautiful, and when I found you in the garbage heap that day, she fell on top of you and cried, and she cried so sadly. ”
Charles's brows furrowed slightly, he looked at the woman in front of him and asked, "What you said is true?"
The wife she was talking about was not Anna, but Margaret, whom she had just met.
At this time, Charles's head was a little unable to turn. He knew that Margaret had saved him and taken care of him, but the relationship between the two was not so deep, right?
When I first met Margaret, I thought of her as a check for 5 million echoes, and she must have had a better impression of herself.
Later, I heard that her brother said that she saved herself when she was crazy, which only proves that she has a good heart.
But when it comes to love, Margaret can't get along with herself at all, the two haven't had much contact at all, when did she fall in love with herself?
"Wait a minute, lady, are you really sure she's holding me and crying?"
Yelena's eyes widened, "Of course, when she rushed into the crowd of madmen looking for someone, I just happened to give the laundry to the guests." Just stand aside and see it clearly."
"How dirty and smelly you were at the time, but she hugged you and cried like that, I was also a girl, she can do this, she absolutely loves you to die and live, live in the world, you have to cherish such a woman who really loves you. ”
Various images of Margaret flashed through Charles's mind.
The trepidation of the first meeting, the caution afterward, the eagerness to meet at the Doge's Palace, and the indifference in her eyes just now.
The impression of this young girl changed a lot in his mind.
Seeing that something was wrong with Charles's expression, the smile on Yelena's face gradually retracted. Cautiously asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to your wife?"
Charles didn't answer, he threw the sketchpad at the side of West, turned around and quickly rushed in the direction of the docks.
He ...... What's wrong with him?" Elena looked at her son suspiciously.
West's face was helpless. "Mother, he is not just an ordinary painter, he is also the governor of this island. ”
Elena's eyes widened, and she pointed at Charles's distant back, "This kid is the governor of the island?! How is this possible, I've been watching this madman for more than a year." ”
West was also helpless, how could he not have imagined that his captain would be a madman at his doorstep, this is simply incredible, why didn't he find out before?
Charles quickly rushed back to the port, and after looking around, he couldn't find the person he was looking for.
He snapped his fingers at the shadowy place next to him, "You all come out, where is the person who just talked to me gone?"
A group of rats burst out of the muddy fish market and quickly formed an arrow and swung in the direction of the sea.
Charles followed the direction to the docks, only to find nothing but passing ships. "Is it really here?
After the rats squeaked a few times, Qi Shushu tilted his head to look at him. Apparently they don't know either.
Charles, with a complicated expression, looked at the sea in front of him, and after a few seconds of silence, he slowly said, "Why don't you tell me?
After speaking, Charles turned around and walked towards the navy, since the other party asked for a ship or a person, maybe he could find her over there.
Shortly after Charles left, a wet Margaret crawled out of the water.
With a trembling look in her white hands, she took out a blank piece of paper, which was the drawing Charles had just drawn.
The paper was completely soaked with seawater, and Margaret, who was smiling on the paper, slowly cracked and dripped to the ground.
She lowered her head, tears mixed with sea water sliding down the scars on her face.
"yes...... Why don't I just say it? If only I had said it directly. ”
