Chapter 401: The Past
Charles and Elizabeth watched as the umbrella-wielding child ran back into the sunlight and dumped the two lumps of the bucket under the banana tree.
Immediately afterwards, the little boy took out a small rag from his arms, stood on tiptoe and carefully wiped the big leaves of the little banana tree one by one, although he was not very good at wiping it, but he wiped it very seriously.
He was wiping and muttering something in his mouth, and Charles's keen hearing allowed him to hear what the little boy was saying.
"You have to grow up quickly, when you grow up, I will have a lot of bananas, and no one is allowed to take my own bananas. ”
"I'll bring to you every day, and I'll keep my for you. ”
"You have to remember that I planted it, your banana is mine, and you have my name engraved on it. ”
It was at this moment that Charles felt a warmth in his ears, and a sexy voice full of magnetism reached his ears.
"Cute isn't it? Children are noisy sometimes, but sometimes they're lovely, do you want one?"
A twinkle flashed through Charles's mind, and he laughed dumbly. "I'm afraid my kids won't be like this. ”
Elizabeth looked at the boy in the sun and continued, "He reminds me of my childhood. ”
Charles turned his head to look at Elizabeth who spoke. "How were you when you were a kid?"
Elizabeth stretched lazily, and her perfect body was completely in view of Charles.
"I was a tyrant in the port area of Coral Island at that time, and I remember that when I was 10 years old, I had grown to 1.5 meters, and none of the children in the nearby streets could beat me. ”
Charles smiled, he really hadn't heard Elizabeth say these things.
"Can you tell us about your story? I'm a little curious about what happened before I met you. ”
Elizabeth pulled Charles on. "The experience of the exploration captain is basically the same, always thinking that he is different from others, and he is the lucky one in a hundred, but in the end, he finds that he will always be the most ordinary. ”
"Why did you become Governor in the first place?" Charles asked.
"Because of prejudice, I don't want this prejudice. A flash of memory flashed in Eliza's amber pupils.
Charles didn't interrupt and listened quietly as she spoke.
"My grandfather is three meters tall, my father is two meters five meters tall and I am two meters tall, so we are very eye-catching wherever our family is. ”
"Coupled with my special hobby, people in the neighborhood treat us as strangers, even if they don't dare to say it in front of my family, but their eyes can't be hidden, I hate that look, I hate it very much. ”
"I was very young and vigorous, thinking that one day I would have my own island, and on that island I would not allow anyone to dare to be prejudiced against our family. ”
"So I followed my friends to buy a ship, and a dozen of us each had a wish, and we swore together that whoever ended up being governor would fulfill everyone's wishes. ”
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Elizabeth's face, as if recalling something good.
"I still remember when we stomped on the table in the bar and made this vow in the face of the ridicule of the drunkards around us, what a childish and innocent love, ah, it was a wonderful time at that time, ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. ”
Charles quickly recalled in his mind and said, "A lot of those members of your crew are your friends?"
"No, I was supposed to be the boatswain of our ship, but as my friends died one by one, I became the captain. ”
"I thought I would die in the sea one day, but the ending was a happy one, and my friends' wishes were finally fulfilled on the island of Icha. ”
Charles looked at Elizabeth's side face calmly, he really didn't expect the other party to have such an experience.
Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort, Elizabeth's eyes suddenly lit up, and she walked quickly into a nearby barber shop and talked to a barber with a nose ring.
Charles knew immediately what the other party was going to do, and there were several lines of writing on the black wooden board next to the barbershop. "The new store opened, the curl service was on sale, 260 echoes per person. ”
Elizabeth sat in the swivel chair, her bright white hair covered in a layer of black liquid, and the barber carefully curled it up with a red-hot iron rod.
"I've always felt that my hair wasn't curly enough, but I didn't expect your barber shop on the island to have this kind of service, which is really good. Elizabeth said as she looked in the mirror at the barber who was really busy with her hair.
"Of course, this beautiful lady, this coating is unique to Hope Island, originally this kind of thing was used to dye photos, but my teacher found that using this as a curling hair agent works very well, much better than the previous sugar water or something. ”
Smelling the smell of roasted pig hair in the air, Charles sat down on the sofa next to him, picked up the newspaper and read it.
I seem to be overly worried, and I don't have so much sentimentality when I can eat at sea, and Elizabeth's recovery is simply not too good.
The newspaper news caught Charles' eye.
"Due to the recent closure of the terminal transportation and the loss of income of the moving workers, there have been two robberies in the port area recently, and the four perpetrators have been arrested and the victims are emotionally stable. ”
"Shocked! The brain-eating ghost has reappeared, and we hope that two of the island's most famous actors, Mr. Rovke and Ms. Anne, have unfortunately passed away, and this newspaper would like to appeal to all islanders not to travel frequently recently. ”
It was at this time that Charles sensed someone watching him outside the window, and he looked up to see several cars whizzing by.
Judging by its characteristic black paint and the marking of the three inward arrows, it is the police car of Hope Island.
"Boss, you can come out, the Governor didn't notice you. Alia said to Deep, who was huddled under the car.
Deep, huddled up, quickly stretched back into the car seat, and said with a sigh: "How could the captain be on Second Street, he should never have come here." ”
"Why are you avoiding him?"
"I suspect he already knows I've sucked up the relics, and if we really want to meet at this time, he will definitely not have a good face to look at, and he won't let me get on the boat!" Dipper poked his head out of the car window, and only then did he sit down when he noticed that no one had come out of the barbershop before.
"Boss, who is that woman next to the Governor?" Arya pulled out a long-spout cigarette and lit it, taking a soft puff.
"The governor of Icha Island, her relationship with the captain is unclear, forget it, don't worry about it so much, how far is it from the place where the accident happened?
