Chapter Twenty-Six: But I Seem to Have Met My Brother

I shook my head helplessly and began to eat. Now that it's all made, it's time to eat it. I thought. After a while, we ate all the chicken, and Ling Xin praised me for doing a good job while eating, and said that I would steal one again tomorrow. I hurriedly stopped him, I was worried enough today, and I didn't know what was going on for a while, and he planned to steal one back.

He laughed and said that he was joking, and then added: "I'll steal it in a few days." I sighed helplessly, I really couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and I didn't know why he was so greedy. We put the table away, and he leaned back in his rocking chair and hummed a song comfortably. I cautiously asked him, "Do you think they'll come back tonight?" ”

"It's here when they remember to use a casserole." He replied to me lazily. I still didn't understand it, and I came to him if I wanted to use a casserole, could it be that the whole village knew that he was a thief? I thought about it, this should not be possible, how could there be a recognized thief. I was about to ask him, but he had closed his eyes and rested, 'Forget it,' and I thought, 'After all, he is my savior, so let's stop bothering him and let him go.' ’

I looked around and there were two bedrooms in the house, one of which had an open door. I walked into the room with the door open and saw the boxes with my luggage inside, which should have been the room reserved for me. I walked over to the windowsill and opened it, and the stars formed a large net that seemed to envelop all those who looked up at them. "It's beautiful," I whispered, and the air dissipated into the night with the cold wind. The vast sky is unobstructed in this quiet night, but how many fewer people accompany me to see it? I shook my head, thinking back to that night of hangover, "Maybe you're looking at the sky and thinking about me." ”

There was footsteps outside, and when I looked back, Ling Xin had also returned to his room. I closed the window, closed the door, and opened the box that was about to be soaked. The letter was still inside, and it was not damp or damaged. I breathed a sigh of relief, put it back down, closed the box, sat down on the bed, and looked out the window. At this time, I would take my guitar and find a place where no one was around, and play a few songs to the moon, but now the guitar has been buried in the sea with the sailboat. I sat for a while, feeling bored, so I prepared to go to Ling Xin's room to chat with him. In fact, I still want to ask him about Camellia Township, after all, the two places are not far apart, and I know that the odds are actually slim, but it is always much better than being alone and uncomfortable.

I went over to his bedroom door and knocked lightly.

"Who?" The voice was magnetic, very different from the way he had spoken before.

I don't know why all of a sudden his tone changed, "Oh, it's me, I want to talk to you." I replied. Then I heard him put things away, the door was not very thick, and I could clearly hear the sound of metal hitting wood. He opened the door, still the same cynical appearance just now, and when he saw that it was me, he put his arm around my neck and carried it to the room, and then closed the door, and said to me in his original voice: "What's the matter, brother, is it boring alone, you want me to chat with you." ”

I saw him return to his original hippie smiling face, and I was even more curious about what he was doing just now: "Brother Ling Xin, what did you just see?" ”

"What? Whatever, I forgot lol. He sat on the bed with a smile, and I was naturally seated next to him by his arms, and he looked at me and looked at him, and then pouted and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just some small things that I stole from the original, so I won't take them out and show them." ”

"Oh," since he didn't want to say it, I couldn't ask again, so I had to change the subject: "Do you usually go to sea?" Or has it always been on this small island? ”

He frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Actually, I saved you that day just to go to sea, of course, with my temperament, of course I won't go fishing, I always go to other islands to play, by the way... You know. He raised an eyebrow at me. I'm in no mood to care if he steals or not, since he always goes to other islands, maybe he can really go to Qingya.

"That's... Have you ever heard of Camellia Township? ”

"Yes." He didn't hesitate to reply in a long voice: "I always go there, it's quite close to us, the main thing is that the bosses live there, and you don't have to steal anything you want, just ask them for it." By the way, there is also the wine, which is free to drink. I drank unconscious every time, and I didn't come back until the next day...", as he spoke, as if suddenly realizing something, looked at me and asked, "Where are you from?" ”

"No, I... I passed by there, that, do you have any contact with the villagers over there? Relationship... What do you think? I asked him tentatively, and he laughed twice and patted me on the shoulder and said, "You kid has a good relationship there, it's okay, you want him to take you in two days, take my boat." ”

I didn't know what to reply to him, and my face turned red, although I hadn't decided that I really wanted to go to see Qingya with him, but when I heard that I was so close to her, the fawn in my arms became restless. I had a casual conversation and then went back to the house and lay down. Putting the quilt on his body, looking at the ceiling, he thought of the days with Qingya. The bleak moonlight sprinkled on the ground through the window, "Old friend, you will always be with me." Looking at the moonlight, my throbbing mood slowly calmed down, and then I fell asleep.

The old captain came to see me early the next morning, and though he was more ill than I was, he was still worried about whether I was cured. Ling Xin also came out to receive the old captain, I don't know why, he was always respectful to the old captain, not like the usual hippie smile. I was worried, for fear that the stolen family would come to the door yesterday and be involved with the captain. Fortunately, he saw that I had nothing to do and left, I knew that he was busy building ships, and the previous ones were all made by him, and every time I went to help him, he thought I was in the way, in fact, I understood that he just wanted me to rest more.

Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, the old captain didn't go for a while, and the family still came to the door. However, it was not as tragic as I thought, and the middle-aged man who came just looked at Ling Xin and said helplessly, "Give me back the casserole." "It's as if he had borrowed it before.

Ling Xin staggered and took the casserole from the house, handed it to him, and said, "Thank you." He put on that nonchalant look again.
