Chapter 44: Falling into the Sea
Unlike Luo Jin when he was a child, now when he sees this storm coming, his heart is full of joy, this is the storm he has been looking forward to for a long time, although he doesn't know if he can survive this storm safely, he still can't stop getting excited. www.biquge.info He changed into a diving suit in the cabin, put on an oxygen tank and goggles, sat in the cold wheelhouse, and closed his eyes.
More than ten years ago, when he was young, he was placed in the cockpit by Jiang Dexin, and there was no one else in the cockpit except the captain. The captain is an old man over fifty years old, he has always been silent, Luo Jin has never seen him speak, if it weren't for the fact that Jiang Dexin high-speed Luo Jin could speak, I'm afraid Luo Jin would think he was mute like everyone else. The captain looked at the blurred front view mirror under the dark sky under the dark clouds, hit by the rain, and suddenly grinned.
Luo Jin was sitting next to him in a daze, the footsteps outside the cabin were chaotic, where could he sit still, he simply wanted to go out and have a look, to see what kind of chaotic scene was outside this quiet cabin. He slid out of the high chair and crept to the door. It was then that a laugh was heard that made him creepy away.
"Hahaha." And the sound of the bitter wind and rain reached Luo Jin's ears in the damp and gloomy cabin. Luo Jin was stunned, standing in place, not daring to move.
"Hahaha" was another low laugh, Luo Jin was still young, and when he encountered such a scene at first glance, coupled with the breathtaking thunderstorm outside the cabin, he was already frightened. The laughter was transmitted in a very low voice in a limited space, weak but fascinating, Luo Jin couldn't move at all, his ears kept echoing such laughter, his heart beat faster, and cold sweat broke out. Luo Jin suddenly thought that there was still the captain who never spoke in the cabin, and when the laughter stopped, he rushed to the captain's side, hugged his legs, and trembled unscrupulously as if he had been comforted. However, the captain did not hug him, but looked stiffly at the front window of the cabin, which was covered with rain curtains. He grinned, letting out a hoarse, low-pitched laugh.
Until Luo Jin found out that the source of the laughter was the captain, he immediately let go of the captain's knee and stepped back.
The captain stopped laughing, and said slowly in a already hoarse voice, "I'm finally going back......" Just a few words, but it made Xiao Luo Jin more frightened than the thunder outside the window, at that time he didn't know what the old captain said, just looked at him with a heartbeat, in the dark, his eyes were full of horror and uneasiness.
"Luo Jin." The door was suddenly opened, Jiang Dexin suddenly pushed the door open, he just ignored Luo Jin's feelings, and insisted on putting him in the cab. After he explained the matter, he came to take Luo Jin back to the room.
Luo Jin screamed and rushed over to hug Jiang Dexin. Jiang Dexin touched Luo Jin's head lovingly, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, it's just an ordinary storm." Don't be afraid. ”
"Helper...... The captain ...... "Luo Jin hadn't finished speaking, he only felt a shock to his body, he and Jiang Dexin were pushed away violently, and with a crackle, lightning illuminated the cockpit, and also brightened up the pale Luo Jin.
"Captain, where are you going?" Jiang Dexin rushed into the rain and shouted at the captain, and almost immediately, he left Luo Jin and chased him out.
"Helper...... Luo Jin was at a loss, but he didn't cry, gritted his teeth and rushed into the rain.
Although Luo Jin is young, because he grew up in an orphanage and has suffered a lot, he is naturally much stronger than ordinary children, he is looking around in the rain, he can't see anything in the dark, he can only search for Jiang Dexin's figure in a short time by the light of lightning. Suddenly, he saw that the captain was standing at the bow of the boat, and Jiang Dexin was standing on the deck three meters away from her, and the two seemed to be arguing about something.
"Old man, you come back first, the bow is too dangerous." Jiang Dexin said as he slowly approached. The rain hit his hair and face, and flowed into his eyes, and he did not bother to wipe it, and repeatedly persuaded the old captain.
Compared with Jiang Dexin's anxiety, the old captain looked like he was at home and didn't care at all. In Luo Jin's opinion at that time, Jiang Dexin was too anxious, although the old captain was old, he was not a fool, and he must have been carefully considered to be able to stand on the bow of the ship regardless of the danger in such a strong wind and waves.
Luo Jin didn't know how he could have such an idea, he stood in the rain in a daze, and suddenly shouted, "Lord Helper" The voice was crisp and powerful, he stood behind Jiang Dexin, through the thousands of rains, calling him like this, he wanted to stop him and let him not care about the old captain's affairs. They can go back, change their clothes, and wait for the storm to pass.
Jiang Dexin turned around and looked at Luo Jin. At the same time, Luo Jin saw Jiang Dexin's back, and the old captain showed a shallow smile, although the smile was shallow, it was very obvious, he was laughing.
Why is he laughing? Luo Jin was confused.
Before he could figure it out, he saw the old captain's body fall backwards, like a light dead leaf in the storm, about to float gently into the sea.
A shadow darker than the darkness swept swiftly before his eyes, followed by the shadow that pounced on the old captain. Luo Jin's brain completely stopped turning, and his body stiffened because of the cold. Only the voice came from his mouth that he didn't realize himself, "Helper......"
Almost in the next second, his tears and rain poured out, and he rushed to the bow of the boat, shouting at the dark churning waves. But under the waves, there was nothing to see except the seawater, let alone the captain and Jiang Dexin who fell into the sea.
Luo Jin held his head in the cabin, maybe it was the same situation, which made his memories extremely clear, and when he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see the endless black sea, tumbling and devouring. He stood up, put on his goggles and oxygen mask, and headed for the deck.
Little Luo Jin was kneeling on the deck, crying, and it was a long time before someone noticed that there was a person squatting there on the originally empty deck, and when he got closer, he found that it was Luo Jin. The person who came was Jiang Dexin's left and right hand Zhang Chuan, Zhang Chuan was an unruly man, different from Jiang Dexin's gentle personality, he was rough and impulsive by nature, and when he saw Luo Jin on the deck, he couldn't help but carry him up and go to the cabin. While walking, he smiled and slapped Luo Jin's buttocks, "Little guy, let you run around, and when the helper can't find you, you should be in a hurry." ”
Luo Jin couldn't stop crying and slapped Zhang Chuan's back violently.
"Ouch, you're still so wild?" Zhang Chuan trotted up in the rain, and that posture was a living orangutan.
"Helper...... Helper, sir, he is in the sea. Luo Jin sobbed and yelled.
"Hahaha, you little guy, you're talking nonsense again, how can the helper be in the sea?!" Zhang Chuan said the words and stopped his steps suddenly, Luo Jin felt that he was thrown off his shoulders by Zhang Chuan and put on the ground, before he could stand firmly, Zhang Chuan shook his shoulders, "What did you say?" How is the helper in the sea? ”
"He ...... with the captain," Luo Jin cried, gesturing to the sea behind him.
Zhang Chuan saw Luo Jin crying a lot, and understood that Luo Jin had never been a crying child, and Jiang Dexin was also very willing to take Luo Jin with him because of this. Thinking of this, Zhang Chuan's face changed, he pretended to be calm, patted Luo Jin's shoulder, "You stay ......" After speaking, he ran to the bow of the boat. Luo Jin grabbed his trouser leg and shouted, "You're going to jump down, but how can you come up?!" ”
Luo Jin's words really reminded Zhang Chuan, he turned around, picked up Luo Jin, ran to the cabin, and shouted at the Fulong Gang brothers gathered in the cabin, "The gang leader has fallen into the sea, hurry up and prepare, let's go to the sea!" ”
Immediately, the quiet people in the cabin became extremely chaotic, and it was already ten minutes after they were hurriedly getting ready. Zhang Chuan's face became more and more ugly. Since he found Luo Jin, so long has passed, and in such bad weather, the chance of falling into the sea can be said to be very small. He grabbed the last oxygen tank he had at hand, and walked to the deck himself, ignoring the fact that the others were not fully equipped.
When Luo Jin followed outside, he only saw the back of Zhang Chuan jumping into the sea.
That was the last time Luo Jin saw Zhang Chuan.
Luo Jin stood on the deck, with the black sea under his feet, exactly the same as at that time. If he had to find a reason to jump into the sea, it would be the old captain's words that he had always engraved in his mind: "I am finally going back......"
After that, according to Luo Jin's description, the people of the Fulong Gang began to investigate the identity of the old captain, but they never found any information about the old captain. Whether it's identity or background, it's as if he's not from this world at all. Since that storm at sea, he has disappeared from this world without a trace.
The matter of the old captain came to an end with Jiang Dexin's accidental rescue, and no one mentioned it again. Jiang Dexin was also silent about the events of that night until his death.
For more than ten years, the answer that Luo Jin kept pursuing in his memory was only the last sentence that the old captain said. He vaguely felt that Jiang Dexin's later death was related to falling into the sea. (To be continued.) )
