Chapter 545: Stranger on a Different Ship
In the dim distance, Poinsettia could see that the man was already jumping. At the same time as his body left the reef, the poinsettia plum pointed at the sword, and with a swing, the cold iris flew sideways towards the man like a falcon.
The speed of both is extremely fast. Just as the man was about to fall into the sea, the sword flew suddenly, pierced the man's back clothes, and stabbed the man on the rock.
Before the man realized what was happening, his body was huddled in a ball and hung on the slope of the reef.
Seeing that the person had been rescued, Poinsettia Plum sighed and walked quickly towards that side.
As she got closer, Poinsettia saw that the reef was indeed not low. The man was hung halfway up by his sword, and below him was the raging rolling water.
At this moment, the man had already realized that he was not dead, and his eyes were looking at the sea below him with stupid eyes. Seeing this, Poinsettia rescued him and dragged him to the gravel beach in the far sea.
The man didn't seem to have recovered from the fear of death. Poinsettia waited for him for a moment, and when it was getting dark, she went around and found some loose pieces of wood and started a small fire.
The color of the fire softens the coldness around it, and also brings a touch of warmth. It took a few more moments for the man to slowly regain his senses.
His face was red from the firelight. It can be seen that this man is about forty years old, unkempt, and seems to be burdened with extremely painful sadness.
Poinsettia also sat down by the fire, but across from him.
"Why do you want to die?" Poinsettia took the warm water bag leaning against the fire in her hand, unscrewed the lid and took a sip.
The man's tone was a little cowardly. He whispered, "I...... I don't want to live anymore. ”
This is, naturally, a nonsense.
Poinsettia Plum was not anxious. It was already dark, and his original mission here was only to monitor Hanhai's movements, so he had a lot of time to kill.
I thought about it for a moment. Poinsettia asked again, "What is your name and where are you from?" ”
There are no people in this part of the coast. The nearest towns and villages are some distance away, and if the average person has the strength of his feet, he would have to walk all day to get here.
The man was still a little cowardly: "I, my name is Ge Sheng." It is from the village of Omuro to the east. ”
This location, poinsettia plum is roughly understood. However, Omuro Village is even further away, and it should be two or three days away from the coast.
"Came here just to kill yourself?" Poinsettia Mei's cold gaze shot at the man through the firelight.
The man named Ge Sheng felt the sight of Poinsettia Plum, and was stunned: "No, it's not." Uh, yes...... Uh, suicide is suicide, it's just that coming here is just the right time to decide. ”
"Then your fate is very big." Poinsettia Mei turned her gaze away, "Decide a little earlier, you're already a floating corpse in the sea." ”
Knowing that Poinsettia Mei was sarcastic about him, Ge Sheng didn't dare to raise his head, so he had to whisper a promise.
The two of them roasted the fire quietly for a while. Poinsettia saw that he had no intention of begging for death, so she asked again: "Tell me." Why do you want to die? I won't laugh at you. ”
Ge Sheng glanced up at Poinsettia Plum, and then buried his head deeply.
Poinsettia Mei sighed: "Don't say it." I'll send you back early tomorrow morning. ”
"Huh?" Ge Sheng was a little out of breath now, and stepped back, "No, no need......"
"How?" Poinsettia raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, "Is there anything wrong with your family?" ”
Unable to withstand the questioning of Poinsettia Plum, Ge Sheng had no way out, so he had to confide in everything:
"I ...... My home is a little bit of a situation. Belch...... My wife told me she was going to cheat. ”
"Ah......" As soon as Poinsettia Mei heard the news, her interest suddenly diminished by half. He couldn't help but shake his head: "Just like this, you can't stand it, so that you come here to find a short view?" ”
Ge Sheng clasped his hands tightly together, looking extremely sad: "You are not me, you won't understand......"
"Xiaofang, my Xiaofang......" As he spoke, Ge Sheng, a big man, actually sobbed and choked, "We obviously said that we would love each other for a lifetime, woo woo woo woo ......"
This caught Poinsettia off guard, but he was also trying to accommodate it. Looking at the tear stains on Ge Sheng's face that were constantly dried by the fire, he pondered quietly.
"And, my father...... And the people in the village, what should you think of me......" Ge Sheng held his head in his hands and began to mumble to himself, mixed with crying, "One more hat out of thin air, my life, so bitter!" ”
Emotions are as uncontrollable as a flood that breaks a dam. Poinsettia Mei waited, after all, he was the one who guided Ge Sheng to tell the truth in the first place, there was no way.
The cold wind around blows bits and pieces of sand. The flames dimmed for a moment, and the face of the poinsettia plum did not move at all, and on the opposite side was Ge Sheng's distorted face full of grief.
Another period of crying. Seeing that there was less and less firewood at the bottom of the fire, the patience of the poinsettia plum was almost burned out.
“…… Enough is enough. ”
Finally, a deep low cry sounded like a bell and drum. This made Ge Sheng interrupt his emotions, and raised his head with tears on his face and sobs.
Seeing this, Poinsettia Plum is not easy to say. He slowed down, hesitated and asked, "Then, what kind of person is the one who robbed your wife's heart?" ”
This belongs to him who has nothing to say. But seeing Ge Sheng's appearance like a poor water dog, Poinsettia Mei was inconvenient to directly let him hold the emotions in his chest back into his stomach, so he had to follow the temptation to return him to normal.
Ge Sheng sniffed. He seemed a little sad and angry, and he made a "Titicaca" movement with trembling teeth: "That's a strange-looking and muscular man who came on a big boat!" ”
As soon as she heard this, the heartstrings of Poinsettia Plum suddenly tightened.
Ship? Poinsettia Maiden frowned. He remembered the content of the song when he was painting a madman.
"The waves are rising...... The big ship is coming...... Scared to death, get out of the way......"
It was as if the cold and pure singing was close to the ears. Poinsettia Plum felt chills all over her body.
Look back at the deep sea hidden in the darkness. Faintly windy and waves, you can see huge waves rising from the sea level like night.
Ship...... Could it be that it's already here?
Frightened by the sudden indifference of the poinsettia plum, Ge Sheng didn't dare to say a word more. He stared blankly at the dry wood at the bottom of the fire, crackling and burning like speckled sparks.
The two fell silent, each with their own concerns. The cold wind whistled and beat the weak fire, and the small flame seemed especially thin on the large, deep beach.
