Chapter 90: Talking
Su Yu moved the chair, the island owner, Meng Hai and Su Yu all sat down on the edge of the bed, they sat in an arc, there was a small round table in front of them, there was a pot of hot tea on the table, there were four warm teacups around the pot, all filled with steaming tea, Ye Duhong picked up his own cup of tea, wrapped in the quilt and leaned on the bed, listening to everyone. Ye Duhong was holding a cup of tea, and he just wanted to listen to it and didn't want to say it, because he was sick.
The owner of the island took a sip of hot tea, and said with a smile that the tea was refreshing, and said with a smile: "In the past, Duhong was quite able to talk at night, and he grabbed things with me at every turn, but now he has become a stupid gourd, look at him, he is sick like that." ”
Su Yu moved the chair, approached Ye Duhong, and said to the island owner on the side with dissatisfaction: "He is so sick that you still say that he has no conscience." He is a sick person now, you are a person who is fine, you are strong and he is weak, sympathize with the weak, care for the weak, help the weak. Then he turned his head and asked Meng Hai: "I heard Ye Duhong say, you are with Cao'er, why are you boating alone on the sea now?"
Meng Hai shook his head and said in a calm tone: "That day and night Duhong insisted on going down to the cave to see what was going on, Cao'er and I were waiting outside for news of Ye Duhong, and there was no news of Ye Duhong this time." On the third day after we entered the cave at night, we asked around for reliable information about the cave, and many people told about the horror of the cave, and it was rumored that it was a place that could not be visited, that there was a hole that could not be wanted, and that the cave was described as a big mouth that could eat people. At first, I didn't believe that the cave was so terrible, but there were many people who said that, and the three of them became tigers, so I believed it. For a long time, I knew that as long as something goes in, it will not be able to get out, and that cave can absorb a qiē intruder, and it is a bottomless pit. Whoever enters the hole in the earth will surely die. That's why I've always thought that the world is all night. I lost a very important friend, I was also depressed, and I was destitute in the rivers and lakes, so I had the idea of escaping from the mundane world. One day, I built a small wooden boat, which looked sturdy, and I planned to sail out to sea in a homemade wooden boat. My wooden boat is indeed possible, you know, when I was sent to heaven, one of the courses I had to take was to make equipment, including shipbuilding, and I learned the shipbuilding skills very well at that time, so I built a ship according to my estimation, and there should be no problem in sailing on the sea. I literally sailed my boat into the middle of the sea, and I knew a few simple spells to catch fish on the surface to survive, and I was pretty good, and I survived for so long. ”
The islander, who could listen attentively, began to ask, "I feel like a legend about your past experience. It's a coincidence, what a chance that you and Ye Duhong met on the sea. The ocean is so big, and you are so small, that you can touch it, this is really God's arrangement. Then he said, "I see that there are many lamps on your ship, and they are yours, so why do you put them all on the water, and do you have any purpose or intention in doing so?"
Meng Hai said with a calm expression: " These lamps are made by me on the ship, in addition to building ships when I am sent in the sky, I will also make lamps, these lamps are different colors, the temperature is not the same, in fact, these are heart lights, I sail on the sea, alone, helpless, when I have no chance to see my relatives, the blue sky is my relatives, the ocean is my relatives, the wind blowing everywhere is my relatives, I make zuò heart lamps in my heart, and then put the heart lamps out one by one, where the heart lamps drift to, I sail to somewhere, I wanted to spend a lifetime on the sea, but I met you, this is something I didn't dare to think about before sailing。 ”
The owner of the island smiled and said, "It's okay, there are four people on the boat, it's really lively." I saw a pot on your ship, did you use it for cooking?"
Meng Hai took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued: "I catch fish on the surface of the sea, raise the fish I catch, and when I am hungry, I use a pot to cook fish soup and drink, this is indeed the pot I cook. It is worth mentioning that this pot is also my weapon, wherever I used to go, someone dared to bully me, find my fault, and provoke me, I used the pot to do it with them, they stabbed me with knives and guns, I used the lid of the pot to hold it, if they continued to fight with me, I used the pot to arrest them, I once detained a person to death. I still remember a long time, I carried this pot on my back on the rivers and lakes, it was really a vigorous day. ”
The owner of the island sighed while listening, he was a person who had heard good operas in the palace, but he felt that there was no story better than Meng Hai, Meng Hai was really a storyteller, and he could quickly integrate his experience and describe it in the most concise language.
The owner of the island exclaimed: "You carry a pot, drive a small boat, sail on the sea, and put a heart lamp." It's remarkable. ”
Meng Hai asked, "What did you do before?"
"I," said the owner of the island, "I used to be the lord of an island, I had my job, and my daily job was to eat, drink, and be merry, and I liked that kind of work very much, but now I don't think that kind of life is a good life, I know that the world is rich and colorful, and I think I have a lot. I have experienced a lot, in fact, I am nothing, people are most likely to be arrogant when they stare at themselves and ignore the world, now I prefer rafting, drifting on the sea, or traveling, traveling on the earth, I think I and Su Yu and Ye Duhong are both drifters, or travelers, of course, these two homes also include you. ”
"Disrespectful and disrespectful," Meng Hai still felt a little awe of him after learning that the island owner was once a veritable island owner, "You have lived a luxurious life, and now your life is so simple, you can still be so happy, you are not easy, and it is not simple." ”
Su Yu poured tea for them, and then said: "Okay, okay, it's not easy for you, it's not easy for everyone, it's also fate to be able to gather together on the sea." It's just that Ye Duhong is sick now, and I don't know when I will get better. As he spoke, he looked up at Ye Duhong, who squinted his eyes like a sick cat and seemed to be asleep.
Su Yu went to bed to hug Ye Duhong, Ye Duhong opened his eyes, smiled, and said, I didn't fall asleep.
The owner of the island asked Meng Hai how many heart lamps he still had, and Meng Hai replied that there were not many of them, and a large number of heart lamps were banished to the sea.
The owner of the island built a heart lamp to hang up, just like his own heart lamp hanging outside the door, if you can hang the heart lamp in a circle on the boat, it must be very beautiful. This is a good idea, the owner of the island said, Su Yu and Meng Hai went to hang the lantern, the bright lantern hung in a circle on the big ship beautifully, swaying with the wind, it was very good-looking.
