Chapter 15: The Strange Old Man

By the time Ni Xue'er woke up, it had been two days later, and Li Yong had been taking care of her for the past two days. When she first woke up, she was still a little excited, but under Li Yong's persuasion, she gradually calmed down. Her decision, though, was to be discharged.

Li Yong knew that Ni Xueer couldn't be persuaded this time, this was a knot in her heart, if she wasn't allowed to do it, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life, including Li Yong.

This time, Ni Xue'er recovered a lot, although she still stumbled a little, and it seemed that this could not affect her at all. She didn't care about the discharge procedures or anything, and she didn't care about the image or anything, she rushed to the port directly wearing a hospital gown.

At this moment they are still in Hainan, but it is not so easy to find a boat to Spratly Island, after asking several steamers to no avail, she set her target on the fishing boat, she has tears in her eyes, and prayed over and over again: "Master beg, I can give you as much money as you send me to Spratly Island." At this time, she made Li Yong feel extremely sad.

Li Yong was also on the side to help, and he also asked several fishing boats, and the boatmen's answers were all the same, that place was cordoned off, and now no boats could enter.

A fisherman saw that Ni Xue'er was really pitiful, and kindly persuaded him: "Girl, it's not that we don't want to help you and you, but that place we can't go to now." He thought for a moment and then said, "Well, let's rent the boat to you, and you can go to that place by yourself?"

"Okay! That's all. Li Yong happily agreed.

After paying the rent, they headed for Spratly with all their might. In fact, the money they paid was enough to buy the ship. The speed of the fishing boat is really not a compliment. It took two days to reach Spratly Island with full drive.

It has been two days since Ni Xue'er's premonition, and now Ni Xue'er's tense mood seems to have eased a lot, but she still keeps worrying about Song Yixing.

As soon as they reached the vicinity of Spratly Island, they were stopped by a patrolling navy. After Ni Xue'er moved out of her uncle, they were reluctantly entered, and her uncle didn't allow them to enter, but they couldn't control Ni Xue'er's bitter pleading, so they had to agree. However, the condition is that they are not allowed to enter the core waters.

Since the accident, the previous personnel here have been replaced one after another, and this batch is already the second batch. After knowing Ni Xue'er's background, the high-level here specially sent two team members to follow them, in the name of protecting them, but in fact, they were implementing Ni Xue'er's uncle's order to prevent them from entering the internal sea area.

After trying many ways to no avail, they had no choice but to return to Spratly Island. Seeing everything familiar, I couldn't help but touch the pain in Ni Xueer's heart again. This is where they last hug. Now that Song Yixing doesn't know where to go, she is the only one left, how can that feeling of being a person not make people feel heartache?

Suddenly, she thought of one thing, that is, that strange bead, which was extremely weird in Song Yixing's hands at the beginning. And in the sea, she clearly knew that it was because of this bead that it would happen. So the culprit of everything is this bead. Thinking of this, she was full of infinite hatred for this bead.

Ni Xue'er has always carried this bead, even during the time she was unconscious, the bead was always placed at the head of her bed, and she also brought it out when she came out. But now she Ni Xue'er thinks she is a little ridiculous, why does this bead bring such harm to her, and she still has to carry it. With this in mind, she picked up the box containing the beads and slowly opened it.

The moment it was opened, a soft golden light shone out. Li Yong always felt that this light was a little dazzling, but for Ni Xue'er, this light was extremely soft, as long as she was illuminated by this light, she always had a feeling of physical and mental comfort.

But now Ni Xueer feels that this feels like the feeling after taking drugs, although she enjoys it, she hates it very much.

"You evil thing, what's the use of keeping it!" Ni Xue'er bit her red lip and was about to throw it out into the deep water. Because only in this way will this evil thing never be able to harm people.

"Hey, young man, slow down!" Suddenly, an old man appeared behind Ni Xue'er, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Meeting is fate, this bead is in your hand, it means that you are extremely destined for it, why do you want to throw it away?"

The old man looked very old, with a white beard and a somewhat hunchbacked, his face wrinkled like the peel of a sun-dried orange, and his clothes were a little ragged, but much cleaner than a beggar's. There is also the fact that although he is not short, he gives people a sense of grandeur. One of the most obvious features of this old man is that on his left arm, there is a pattern similar to a tattoo, and the tattoo is an extremely delicate bow, this bow Ni Xue'er doesn't recognize, it looks a little weird, but she can clearly recognize that it is a bow.

In this world, someone would tattoo a bow on his arm, Ni Xue'er felt extremely strange. But I didn't care that much

Ni Xue'er was very strange to this old man, this old man gave her an inexplicable sense of intimacy, but she felt that this old man was unattainable. And since the old man appeared, the bow on the old man's arm has been attracting the attention of Ni Xue'er and Li Yong, and for some reason, the bow seems to be seducing the attention of others. But what she cares about now is not this, what she cares about is how this old man appeared?

Li Yong also felt weird, this old man seemed to appear behind them silently. He couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and a sense of horror instantly filled his body. He couldn't help but think, "Could it be that he is a ghost?"

The old man seemed to understand what he was thinking. He chuckled: "Don't think about it, young man, I'm just an old man." ”

Li Yong smiled a little embarrassedly, but now he felt that this old man was even more unusual.

Ni Xue'er didn't care so much, she said: "I don't know why I can't throw this bead when it kills my lover?"

The old man laughed: "I didn't mean to stop you, it's yours, and you can't do anything if you want to throw it." But since it is the last thing your lover left behind, don't you think it is more important to leave a thought? ”

"I think it's more ominous. Ni Xueer said.

"Auspiciousness and ominousness are just ways of looking at things. Now it's a different angle. The old man said.

Li Yong didn't like to listen to these big truths, he said a little impatiently: "Don't say those useless ones, just say it directly, whether this bead is lost or not." Although Li Yong faintly felt that this old man was a little extraordinary, he knew that this old man would not do anything to him. Plus he's a straight guy, so that's what he's always said that.

The old man stroked his beard and chuckled: "To take it or not to take it is fate! To let it go or not to let it go! To lose it or not to lose it is also fate! Everything is determined by fate! It's up to you!" As he spoke, he slowly reincarnated and walked towards the island.

Ni Xue'er looked at the beads in her hand in a daze, and didn't know what to do with it for a while. I didn't know that the old man had left. And Li Yong was worried about Ni Xueer's condition, and he didn't pay attention to the whereabouts of the old man for a while.

After a long time, Ni Xue'er finally made a decision, this bead must be kept. He felt that Song Yixing was missing because of this bead, so maybe he had to start with this bead if he wanted to find Song Yixing, because she knew that Song Yixing's disappearance was extraordinary. She clearly saw that Song Yixing was engulfed by the light curtain. It wasn't washed away by the sea. So she had to find the time to go back to where she was.

When she came back to her senses, she found that the old man was gone. Li Yong said: "Did you notice that there was something wrong with the old man just now?"

"Ahh "Go find him," she said.

But when they found the island, they didn't see any trace of the old man. When I asked the two team members, they also said that they had not seen each other. In this way, Ni Xueer and they felt even more bizarre.
