Standing on the edge of the abyss of death again, Sha Ting couldn't control her desire to fall. She felt her body float, and the restraint from the rope that had been tied around her waist disappeared, and her body fell, falling......... Then it fell into the warm embrace, which was the body temperature of the person.

She couldn't open her eyes, but she heard someone shouting, "Take this girl to safety, she saved our boat!" ”

Sha Ting knew that she had fled from the edge of the abyss again.

When I woke up in Jifukushima, it was already night. When a little girl saw her open her eyes, she immediately ran away to call someone. Soon, a woman brought her food—thick broth and sesame cakes.

Sha Ting looked around as she ate. There were about a hundred people in the dimly lit hall, all of whom were passengers on the "Seaweed Golden Crown". Some of them sat on the floor, some of them lay between their clothes and luggage. Ring-shaped candlelight hangs from the four corners of the hall, and the lights flicker incessantly, causing the shadow to fall on the idol in the middle of the hall to sway, giving the expression of the sun goddess Apollona unpredictable.

"We're probably in the temple in Jifukushima." Sha Ting thought to herself. At this moment, she saw a man walking between the passengers in twos and threes, walking towards her.

It's Captain Han Chu.

"Great, Sha Ting, you're awake!" He sat down beside Sha Ting and said happily, "When they rescued you from the mast, I thought you were dead!" If you hadn't set the sails, none of us would have escaped! Such a big storm, how did you do it?! The people chosen by the Golden Crow Courtyard are really too powerful! ”

"Before me, there was a sailor who fell into the sea from there, and I saw it. He's dead. Sha Ting replied with a bowed head. The food she had just eaten warmed her stomach, and she felt guilty at the thought of the sailor who had died in the storm. The man may have turned into a cold, hard corpse floating on the surface of the sea, while I was full and safe.

"I guessed it." Han Chu sighed, "Ding Yan, that's a good young man from our Seagod Island. But the Eternal Forest wasn't far from Poseidon Island, and he would find his way there. We will finally be reunited in the glory of the gods. ”

He pulled out a backpack from behind him and handed it to Satine, who was her luggage. Sha Ting keenly noticed that the knot on the bag was different, and it was obvious that someone had opened it. She took it, a hand sneaking over the bag, checking her belongings. She felt for her weapon, the glass box for the scalpel, and several vials for the medicine.

"The 'Green Algae Golden Crown' was badly damaged and could no longer sail. I found a boat for the passengers to transfer to, and the fare has already been paid. You will set off early tomorrow morning with everyone, and you will be able to arrive at the hot spring port after a day and a night, and you will not be delayed in entering the school. Captain Han Chu said to Sha Ting a little apologetically, "Sha Ting, at the critical moment, you risked your life to save us all, I should have given you a heavier honorarium, but now ......"

Sha Ting touched the extra thing in the bag, it was a silver ring, one, two, three...... Five! That's too much! She reached out to untie her backpack belt: "Captain Han Chu, I don't want any honorarium!" ”

"Be sure to take it, Sha Ting!" The captain pressed her hand, "I should have given you more." However, I have to pay the transfer fee for the passengers, a severance pay for the oarsmen and crew, and a sum of money for Ding Yan's parents. At this point, there's only so much I can come up with. ”

"Severance pay? Why? Will the Green Algae Golden Crown no longer be able to sail? It should be repairable, right? Sha Ting asked in surprise.

"If I use the money I have for repairs, I can't afford to pay the crew's wages and the passengers' transfer fees." Han Chuchuan shook his head helplessly, "And the pass token of the 'Seaweed Golden Crown' has expired, I originally planned to use the money from this sale to make another one, but the goods were thrown away in the storm." ”

"So what do you do? And what about Aunt Raisa and Suman? ”

"There's always a way." Hearing Sha Ting mention her family, Captain Han Chu straightened up and resumed his optimistic tone, "Bad things are often followed by good things. I had been the squad leader in the track laying team of the Amethyst Mine, but I was transferred to the cleaning team because I broke my arm. That's a world of difference! But why is it that bad things are followed by good things, I didn't know that I could sweep so many broken amethysts out of a minecart when I got there! The gods always leave a way for those who are diligent and do good, I have always believed so! The captain looked at the statue of the goddess Apollona in the center of the temple, and the back of his hand was pressed to his eyes and opened, "Gods have mercy! ”

"Mercy of the gods!" Sha Ting replied softly.

He patted Satine on the shoulder and left.

Do bad things often follow good things? Sha Ting reflected on Captain Han Chu's words and closed her eyes, she remembered the first words spoken by the man who pulled her back from the brink of death when she was fourteen years old.
