Chapter 30 on Five Dragons Island
"Little brother, little brother!"
In the haze, Shen Yuan heard someone talking in a trance, as well as the gentle sound of water, but he wanted to open his eyes but didn't have the strength at all.
"Come, come, your eyes are moving!"
There was joy in the voice of the speaker, and then the sound of the steps seemed to be approached by a few more people. Shen Yuan could sense that the person who spoke was not malicious, so he slowed down a little and slowly opened his eyes.
It was blue in front of him, and his first thought was: "It turns out that this netherworld can also see such a clear sky! Presumably, the sound of water he heard just now should be a yellow spring!"
"Wake up, this little brother is awake!"
Shen Yuan followed the voice and looked at a middle-aged uncle with a beard and dark skin grinning, his eyes bright and sincere.
"Uncle, I'm in the Netherworld?"
These words caused a burst of laughter around him, Shen Yuan raised his eyes and looked around, only to realize that there were four or five people around him, in addition to the middle-aged uncle, there was also an old man with a sixtieth birthday, and three young men who were almost twenty-five or six years old.
These people seem to have been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, and they are the same color as the middle-aged uncle.
Look at the clothes worn by these people, either coarse cloth turbans and short browns, or hats and robes.
After laughing, the old man stepped forward and said, "You kid, don't talk nonsense. If this is the Netherworld, aren't a few of us a ghost?
The middle-aged man gently lifted Shen Yuan up, and then he realized that he was on the fishing boat, and the sea in front of him was blue and wide, reaching straight to the sky! Shen Yuan had also seen this wave when he went to the beach with his father when he was a child, and now looking at this boat, although the sea does not raise waves, it makes people feel that it is deep and boundless, and how can it be said that a "big" word can be exhausted?
A few gulls cries on the sea, accompanied by the sound of the sea gently lapping the hull of the boat, are very beautiful.
"Master!" Shen Yuan suddenly remembered, and hurriedly called left and right!
The people around were puzzled and looked at each other, only to hear the middle-aged man ask, "Little brother, what are you talking about?"
Shen Yuan stood up abruptly and shook it twice, thanking the middle-aged man for a quick shake, otherwise he would fall again. After he stood still, he looked left and right, from the bow to the stern of the ship, he searched everywhere he could, not even the shadow of Gongyehe!
At this moment, Shen Yuan's heart was flustered, and he just shouted indiscriminately: "Master!"
"Little brother!" The middle-aged man saw Shen Yuan's shocked face, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
Shen Yuan grabbed the middle-aged man's wrist and asked, "Uncle, what about the old man with me? With a sword bag on his back, he is in his seventies! What about the others?"
This made everyone present stunned, and the man said: "When I found you on the river this morning, you were the only one who fell on the beach, and I have never seen the old way you said. What, that's your master?"
"You're the only one...."This sentence echoed in Shen Yuan's mind like thunder, and he didn't hear what the man asked. He didn't answer, just stared straight at the sea.
Suddenly, Shen Yuan touched his back and exclaimed, "Where is my sword?"
"Sword?ah, are you talking about the thing wrapped in cloth?" the middle-aged man raised his hand and called for someone to bring it.
I saw one of the young men holding the Northern Soul Sword in both hands and approached and handed it to Shen Yuan, saying, "Your sword is too heavy, and it is almost thirty catties in your hand, you can dance even a doll?"
Hearing this, Shen Yuan shook his head, took the sword with both hands, and tied it behind his back. These people looked at Shen Yuan and the sword was a little more relaxed than the young Xiao Sheng, and the man nodded and praised: "Little brother, you must be the rumored innate divine power?"
"Master told me that this sword can't be separated from my body, maybe I'm used to being so heavy. ”
Shen Yuan saw that the sword was still there, and silently breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of the uncertainty of his master's life and death, his heart hung in his throat again. Now I don't know where to go with these people in front of me, and I suddenly feel confused in my heart.
He raised his eyes and asked the middle-aged man, "Uncle, I don't know who you are?"
"Hey, I forgot!" The middle-aged man scratched his head and said with a smile: "My surname is Huang, and the old one is my father, and these are all sons and nephews of fellow villagers." ”
After listening to the man's introduction, it turned out that these people were all fishermen on Wulong Island, who often went to sea to fish together, and occasionally took on some transportation work to the upper reaches of the Qiantang River. This man's name is Huang Lu, in his early thirties, Xu is working at sea all day long, that looks like he has more than ten years, his father Huang Laohan is the same, it seems to be a sixtieth birthday, but in fact he is only fifty, those young people are not as weak as the crown, it can be seen that it is hard!
Shen Yuan asked again, "Uncle Huang, where is this ship going now?"
"We only returned from the upper reaches of the Qiantang River today, and we haven't returned home for a few days, so we naturally went to our home in Wulong Island. Little brother, seeing that you are alone, why don't you go back with us. Huang Lu was kind-hearted, and when he saw that Shen Yuan was pitiful, he invited him to return with him.
Shen Yuan was worried about his master, so he had no idea at the moment, so he only said, "Then my master ......"
Huang Lu sighed and said, "This river is turbulent, I'm afraid it ...... However, even if your master is unharmed, where will this man go to find him in the vast sea?"
These words did tell the truth, and Shen Yuan's heart was like a mirror. Since experiencing this life and death, he has become more and more calm, not like at the beginning, he can only cry. But he didn't want to believe in his heart that Master would go like this!
Seeing that Shen Yuan seemed unwilling, Huang Laohan stood up and said: "It's better to be like this, you and I will go back to Wulong Island for a while, and when we return to the village, I will call everyone in the village to go to sea." We're here to find out the news for you. If you wish, you can go to sea with us in a few days, and then we will go along the river to find it." ”
Hearing this, a glimmer of hope ignited in Shen Yuan's heart, and he hurriedly bowed deeply to a few people, and said, "Boy Shen Yuan, thank your husband first, thank Uncle Huang, and all your brothers!"
Huang Lu hurriedly helped him up, patted Shen Yuan on the shoulder, and said, "Little brother, I'm waiting for the elderly, you deserve this worship, you go home with me first and live steadily, and the rest will try their best to help you, rest assured." ”
After Huang Lu finished speaking, he took Shen Yuan to the cabin, took out a basket, lifted the covercloth, and said, "It's past noon, I want you to be hungry, there are still some baked cakes and beef, all of which were brought from Fuyang a few days ago, you will use them first, and when you go home, let your aunt roast the tail fish for you!"
Shen Yuan nodded, and he was not polite, grabbed the baked cake and ate it. Huang Lu was afraid that he would choke, so he hurriedly poured a bowl of water and told him to eat.
"It's also strange," Huang Lu remembered the scene when he found Shen Yuan, and said, "You have such a heavy guy tied to your body, and you didn't sink into the water, and you were washed ashore by the river!
In fact, Shen Yuan was also puzzled, trying to remember the situation that night, since he dragged Gongye He into the river, he felt that he was sinking, and after only a moment, he didn't know anything, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already on this boat.
I heard Huang Lu ask again: "Eh, little brother, why did you fall into the middle of the river?"
Shen Yuan was stunned, shook his head slowly, didn't make a sound, and only silently bit the baked cake in his hand. Huang Lu looked at it, knowing that he had asked the wrong thing, so he hurriedly changed his head and said, "Little brother, you use it first, I'll go outside the cabin to take a look, it's almost there." ”
Two hours later, the Five Dragons Island was close at hand.
landed on the shore, and Shen Yuan went to the house with Huang Lu and the old man. In addition to a pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Huang Lu also has a pair of children, the daughter is a little older, 16, and the son is now in kindergarten. This family is really a loyal and kind family, Huang Lu and his wife Feng told Shen Yuan about it, and they took good care of Shen Yuan from old to young, and when they ate, they also specially cooked two more dishes for Shen Yuan, put them on the table, and put them into Shen Yuan's bowl desperately.
Those children also have the appearance of that sister and brother, Shen Yuan's heart is warm, these days he is used to seeing this sinister world, he never thought that he could experience such warmth and peace again. Shen Yuan even thought about how good it would be if he was the son of this family? There was no need to take revenge, no need to kill, no need to drift anymore!
But when I think about it, how can I easily let go of the hatred of my parents who exterminated the clan! On a day like this, I'm afraid that I won't have a chance with me again! Don't look at Shen Yuan's young age, he has experienced strong winds and waves, but his mind is much more precocious than that of children of the same age, but no matter how precocious he is, he is also a child after all.
The Huang family's house is nothing more than a fence courtyard with three blue-tiled houses. Although it is not a mansion with a few entrances, it is enough to shelter from the wind and rain. Huang Fengshi vacated a side room, laid out the futon, and asked Shen Yuan to stay.
Before going to bed, Huang Fengshi took an old dress and gave it to Shen Yuan, and said: "Seeing that your clothes are also dirty and torn, take them off and I will wash them with you, this is what the child wore when he was six or seven years old, I changed it slightly, you will wear it first, and ask your Uncle Huang to go to the collection to pull a few feet of cloth these days, and my aunt will sew a new one for you." ”
The voice was soft and gentle, and at that moment, Shen Yuan seemed to see his mother. He hurriedly used his arm to cover and wipe it, only to see him pouting, trying his best to stop the tears, but in the end, he couldn't stop it, but it was out of control!
The hearts of mothers in the world are made of water. Seeing Shen Yuan's child crying so aggrievedly, Huang Feng's eyes were also a little red, so he could only get closer, pat Shen Yuan gently, and patted quietly.
Slowly, Shen Yuan's sobbing eased, and he asked timidly, "Auntie, can I lie on your lap for a while?"
Huang Feng's face flushed, and he heard Shen Yuan say again: "You look like my mother...... Can I call you mother?"
Hearing this, Huang Fengshi couldn't hold back any longer, and the tears flowed down quietly, and he nodded gently.
Shen Yuan slowly rested his head on Huang Feng's lap, carefully feeling his mother's breath.
"Mother!"
"Hey......"
