Jiao Bayi supported me, "Brother Yi, hold on, let's get out of here."
He put his arm around my shoulders and drove me, and the two of us walked all the way out. The strange thing is , the pond with the strange fish in it has disappeared, and even the small oasis is gone. Except for the yellow sand, there seems to be nothing left. It seems that it has disappeared in an instant. The yellow sand is endless as far as the eye can see. People are afraid.
The two of us walked for a long time. I don’t remember exactly how long. I just felt that my limbs were getting weaker and weaker, and my vision was getting blurry. This was caused by excessive bleeding. I was afraid I was going to die. Here we are, this road is very long and I can’t hold on anymore.
"Old. Laoba, you go, I. I can't do it anymore." After saying this, I fell headfirst on the yellow sand. I had no strength left in my whole body. My whole body felt like I was emptied out, my body was light and airy.
Jiao Ba called me in my ear. He seemed anxious, but I couldn’t hear his voice clearly. Then he carried me on his back and continued moving forward. I don’t know how long it took. I saw the beach, and there seemed to be boats, or it could be me My body had reached its limit due to hallucinations. In my daze, I seemed to see Li Xin and Jenny running towards me. Their influence became more and more clear, but at this time, my vision went dark. Just know everything.
I don’t know how long it took, but I slowly opened my eyes. I saw Jiao Ba sitting in front of me, seeming to be dozing off. I looked around and saw that I should be in the cabin. I wanted to get up, but my body Just when I was about to move, my back hurt terribly, but I still managed to support myself and sit up.
"Brother, are you awake? How do you feel?" Jiao Ba was awakened by me, and when he saw me waking up, a trace of comfort appeared on his face.
I smiled, "It's okay, much better, are we back on the ship?"
"Well, we are back, and we are heading back now." Jiao Ba nodded with a smile on his face , "It won't be long before we can return to China. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
I shook my head, "How long have I been in coma?" I spoke in a low voice, but I still felt Not much strength.
"It's been two days. I think you're lucky. Those two knives didn't hit the vital point, otherwise Li Xin wouldn't be able to save you." Jiao Ba took a deep breath and patted my arm.
I chuckled, but I was recalling many things in my mind. From going to sea to now, too many things have happened, and in the end, only a few of us survived. I don’t know whether I should be lucky or not. , I should still be sad, in short, my heart is very complicated.
Just when I was thinking wildly, the cabin door was pushed open, and Jenny walked in from the outside. When she saw me waking up, she was immediately cheered up, and her originally gloomy face became sunny. After a while, Jiao Ba saw her coming, said hello, got up and walked out of the room, as if he wanted to leave us alone.
Jenny sat in front of my bed and looked at me, but she didn’t say a word. I smiled, “Why don’t you speak? Why are you looking at me like that?”
She stared at me. After looking at it for a few minutes, he slowly said, "Zhongyi, thank you."
"Thank me for what? There is no need to say thank you between us." I didn't know why I said this, but I said it anyway.
Jenny’s face is rosy and very beautiful, especially her eyes, which are really charming. I have to say that I have feelings for this beautiful mixed-race woman. Martin’s appearance just happened to This proves that men can be jealous too, but I haven’t noticed it yet. Looking at her now makes me feel more magnanimous. I have to face what I should face sooner or later. Escape is not my strong point. .
"It's over. This trip to sea is completely over. I just didn't expect that the price would be so painful. I feel very sorry for those friends who died." When Jenny said this, her eyes were a little red, and she wiped them Out of the corner of his eyes, he forced a smile through his tears.
I slowly held her hand and comforted her, "Don't think about it, everything is over. Just like you said, everything is over. We can go home." I don't know. Why, when I think of separation, I feel more reluctant to let go.
“Can I ask you a question?” Jenny looked at me.
I nodded, "Of course."
"Do you love Li Xin?" She suddenly asked such a question, which really made me don't know how to answer.
I looked into her eyes and really didn’t know what to say. I admitted that I loved Li Xin, but I didn’t dare to say it in front of her. I seemed to have that kind of feeling towards her. Feeling, I know this is not an illusion, Jenny has always been buried in my heart Here, it has been like this since I met her. We have experienced too much, whether it is her or Li Xin, "I don't know how to answer you, but I"
"Reply with me America." Jenny interrupted me and held me in her hand.
“Go back to the United States?” I was stunned. Was this hinting at something? Although she didn't say it explicitly, I was not a fool.
"Well, go back to the United States." She nodded, "I won't embarrass you, because emotional matters cannot be forced. I just hope to give everyone a start. You are a good man. If I just let you I think I will feel a little sad if I leave." Although she was smiling, I saw a trace of bitterness on her face.
I reached out and touched her face. It felt very real at this moment, but I really didn’t know how to answer her. Seeing that I didn’t speak, Jenny sorted out her emotions and said, “You don’t have to answer me right away, what? Just tell me when you think about it. You have a good rest and I will go back first." She seemed to feel that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and left in a hurry after getting up.
But as soon as Jenny left, Li Xin came in. I was stunned at the time. I even doubted whether they had discussed it. Li Xin smiled and sat down in front of me. She tilted her head and looked at me, "I'm relieved to see you're okay."
"Don't worry, I'm very lucky, I won't die." I joked, "When I'm with her, I It feels very relaxing.
Li Xin nodded, but she didn't look at me, as if she was thinking about something. After a minute, she turned to look at me and asked, "Zhongyi, the trip to sea is over."
"I know, this time is over. I will never go to sea again in the future. The price is too high." I sighed and said I would never do this again, no matter how much money I was paid. It's just life-threatening.
"What I mean is that after this is over, we may be separated. Don't you have anything to say to me?" Li Xin put away her smile and asked seriously.
"I have a lot to say to you." I smiled helplessly, "I just don't know where to start."
"I want to ask you a question." Li Xin asked suddenly, in a tone very similar to Jenny's.
"Ask." I replied in confusion.
"Do you love Jenny?" When she asked this, I was almost petrified. Did these two people really discuss it? Why did they ask this?
I suddenly opened my mouth and couldn't answer a single word. But her next words made me feel dizzy again, "Come back to the United States with me." Li Xin looked at her seriously. Me, my eyes are full of expectation.
“Go back to the United States?” I stammered.
"Well, I plan to settle in the United States. You, please go back with me. I think you will adapt to life there quickly." Li Xin held my hand and looked at it with a smile. Me, she is so beautiful, really beautiful. She is simply the representative of the beauty of oriental women. In my heart, she cannot be replaced by anyone.
"I, I." I really don't know what to say, my head is a little blank.
"You don't have to answer me now. Tell me when you've made up your mind. I'll wait for you." Her simple words expressed her thoughts.
I looked into her eyes and nodded vigorously. Then she lowered her head, kissed me gently on the cheek, and finally said three words. These three words made my heart beat fast. Speed up, this is the first time in my life that a girl said those three words to me. Until the moment Li Xin left, I had not come out of these three words.
After returning to China , Jiao Ba sold all the porcelain and jades at a very good price. This money is enough for us to live happily for several lifetimes, but we have not forgotten our roots. This is what those companions paid for with their lives. We took part of the money and distributed it to the families of the deceased companions. It was regarded as a kind of pension. We were too busy with other things, so that was all we could do.
Jenny and Li Xin have returned to the United States. Before leaving, Jiao Ba and I personally sent them off. We hugged each other reluctantly, but everyone knew in their hearts that everything in the world would be separated. During the banquet, we had to separate sooner or later. I don’t remember how long it had been since I shed tears.
But until their figures disappeared from my eyes, my eyes were moist. I thought I would wave goodbye to them in a free and easy way, but unfortunately, I still couldn't control this feeling. The reluctance in my heart is an emotion that cannot be expressed in words. After this farewell, I don’t know when we will see each other again.
Jenny didn't take away a penny. In her words, it was enough for her to find the truth of the matter. Money was no longer important to her. As for the piece of He's Bi, I asked Jenny to take it away. I hope she can Find a safe place and bury this secret forever.
The remaining small amount of money is divided equally between the three of us. This money is enough for me to live a 'happy' life in China. The purpose of our going overseas is for money, but Only at this moment did I realize that life is much more important than money. No matter how much money is spent, those dead companions can still be saved. No more
A year later, I left Haibin City and returned to my hometown in the Northeast to see my parents and relatives. After Shunzi died, I didn’t want to stay in Haibin City anymore, and Jiao Ba also left. , so there was nothing left for me to miss. After staying at home for a while, I made a decision to go to the United States.
Because I found that since Li Xin and Jenny left, I will always think of them. No matter when, I will think of them. Thinking of every minute and every second we were together, I will I laughed out loud unknowingly. This longing made me feel uncomfortable, so I had to go to the United States. No matter what happened in the end, I had to face it. I even said to myself, even if I stay in the United States this time, I agreed without hesitation.
I called Li Xin and Jenny and told them that I was going to the United States. They were very happy and agreed that they would pick me up at the airport together. On the day of departure, I was so excited that I couldn’t help but want to go there right away. I flew to them, but just when I arrived at the airport, Jiao Ba's phone call suddenly came in.
"Lao Ba, what's the matter? I have to catch a flight." I told him before departure.
"Brother Yiyi, Mr. Mai. Mr. Mai is still alive." Jiao Ba struggled to squeeze out a few words. I was suddenly shocked, "What did you say? Mr. Mai is still alive?" But at this time, Jiao Ba's phone had been hung up
