woman and sea

"That was... 12 years ago..."

Aunt Haixing let her eyes go blank and immersed herself in her memories, "That day, my old man and I went fishing at sea, and we didn't come back until late in the evening. As soon as we entered the bay, I saw a place not far away. The wooden basin is floating there. That wooden basin is about this big.” At this point, Aunt Haixing stretched out her arms and compared the diameter of the wooden basin to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan gave a "hmm" and nodded slightly to show his understanding.Therefore, Aunt Haixing continued to tell the story, "At first, our old man didn't take it seriously, but I suddenly wanted to pick up that wooden basin and take it home for no reason—ordinarily our family didn't care about it. Wealthy, but there is no shortage of family, so holding a wooden basin should not be taken seriously. As a result, that day, I desperately wanted to pick it up and take it home.

Our old man couldn't resist me, and while he was complaining about my pettiness, he rowed the boat over to get the wooden basin.As a result, I took a closer look..." Speaking of this, Aunt Hai Xing suddenly closed her eyes in pain.

Then, she trembled uncontrollably, as if recalling something frightening and heart-wrenching.

Incidentally, Yang Fan subconsciously took a deep breath.

After a long time, Aunt Haixing continued to recall: "In that wooden basin... a child less than one year old was lying. The child's body was covered only with a piece of broken sheepskin with wool. The sheepskin... was covered with... There were flies... a large black cloud of flies... I saw it, and it was so disgusting, I quickly took the harpoon, picked up the piece of broken sheepskin and threw it away..." Aunt Hai Xing shuddered all over, as if She didn't really want to recall that incident anymore, and her expression became very strange, and she couldn't tell whether it was disgust or pity or something else.

He took a few short breaths to calm himself down.Aunt Hai Xing clenched her fists tightly, suppressed the trembling all over her body, and continued: "Then I saw...the child was lying on her back in the wooden basin. Her body...was covered with living things. Maggots... a lot... crawled into her ears and nose..."

Yang Fan heard clearly that Aunt Haixing was gnashing her teeth.

And Yang Fan on the other side was not much better.Although she forced herself not to complete the picture over and over again in her heart, the tragic and terrifying scene still crashed into her mind.

"... There were many gaps in the wooden basin, and a finger-deep seawater seeped into it. The whole back of the child was so tightly attached to the wooden basin... When we saw her, her whole back Her body was soaked by the sea water. Moreover, her side and the places where her body was in contact with the pelvic floor were all... gurgling live maggots....I was really... sick to death, I was terribly frightened... I stood there in a daze, but didn't dare to move. In the end, it was our old man who boldly hugged the child..." Speaking of this, Aunt Haixing closed her eyes again in pain. Eye.

Yang Fan on the other side also felt his scalp tingling and trembling all over, as if he was a little bit out of his wits.

Gritting her teeth and calming her mind, Aunt Haixing continued: "The flesh and flesh on the child's back was rotten on the wooden basin... Even the fleshy layer of the belt was torn off like that. ...The rotten meat that had been soaked white was just sticking to the bottom of the wooden basin... How painful was that child... In the end, she didn't even have the strength to cry.... At that time, she was hanging there with only her dying breath, almost unable to get out... Isn't this a crime... I really pity my poor child... If her biological parents If you don't want to raise children, then why do you still want to have children..." Aunt Haixing covered her lips with her hand, weeping uncontrollably.

Yang Fan tremblingly swallowed his saliva, calmed down, then staggered forward, stroking Aunt Haixing's back with trembling fingertips to comfort her.

After a long time, Fangcai comforted her with a choked face and said: "Aunt Haixing, you...don't be too sad, look, isn't that child Haicao living well now?"

Yang Fan really couldn't believe that Haicao's childhood was so miserable.

It can also be seen how much painstaking efforts Aunt Haixing and the head of Haiying Village took to raise the child into the pure and pure appearance he is now.

After calming down, Aunt Hai Xing choked with sobs and continued: "We didn't even unload the boat that day, so we hurriedly carried the child to find a doctor in Hong Kong—the doctor who came here today Mr. Shi Song. At that time, Mr. Shi Song was only a doctor and not a nobleman. When he saw the appearance of Hai Cao, he shook his head and said, "This child is dying, so bury her as soon as possible. Don't teach her to be here." Live and suffer'.

How could I have the heart to bury her?Isn't that a living life? ——Then, I cried to Mr. Shi Song at that time, and I said, "Mr. Shi Song, you see, this child still has one breath, and at least he has one life. How can he just bury him..." I said to him again, 'Mr. Shi Song, please do me a favor, please save this child. '——At that time, Mr. Shi Song saw me snot, tears, and crying miserably, so he finally nodded and left the child behind, saying that he did his best.

In fact, we all know in our hearts, how can such a small child withstand such a big toss?What's more, she was hanging there with only one breath left, so it was just treating the dead horse as a live horse doctor, seeking peace of mind.

Later, it was also thanks to the blessing of the gods.Master Shi Song worked hard to treat her for more than a month, and then dragged the child back from the gate of hell. ... Thank God... Then, I told our old man, let's take that child home and raise her, and never let her suffer again.

The old man agreed, and said that the name should not be too nice for her.After all, if we got a life back this time, it is already a blessing from the gods. We can no longer push forward and ask for more blessings.Therefore, we must give the child a humble name, so that it will be easy to support in the future. ——That's why we gave her such a careless name, and called her 'Seaweed', and we have been calling her until now. "

Yang Fan listened quietly, tears streaming down his face unconsciously.

She couldn't help sighing in her heart: "What a simple and kind group of people this is!—"

In this way, it is no wonder that seaweed is so pure and cheerful.

Living among such a group of simple, kind and righteous people, how could she not be innocent?

"Near the vermilion is the red", that's probably what it says.

"Ms. Yang Fan, I beg you from my aunt. I beg you to take good care of that child." Aunt Haixing raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said with choked sobs, "This child grew up in such a comfortable environment. Good and bad.

Although this made her develop a pure and kind character, it also isolated her from the dangers of this world, so the child never speculated on others with malice.It's just that although this child doesn't use bad intentions to plot against others, he can't prevent others from plotting against them with bad intentions.Miss Yang Fan, please take care of her more.From now on, our old couple will no longer be in front of her, so you have the right to be one of her biological sisters. "

Yang Fan nodded, and said solemnly: "Well! Don't worry! The so-called 'elder sister is the mother', I will definitely take good care of her! —— As long as I, Yang Fan, have breath, I will definitely not Let others wrong our Xiaocaoer!"

"Good boy, please..." Aunt Hai Xing nodded, stretched out her hand to gently shake Yang Fan's arms, and smiled gratifyingly at her.

Suddenly, Yang Fan realized that now was not the time to procrastinate, so he said, "Aunt Haixing, we have been chatting here for so long, shouldn't it be time to go back? Don't make everyone wait any longer. ——Furthermore , The more this drags on, the more reluctant to go, it is better to set sail as soon as possible."

Aunt Haixing grabbed her sleeves and gently wiped away the tears in her eyes, she nodded, then turned around and walked towards the bow of the boat with Yang Fan.

After only three steps, Yang Fan opened his mouth hesitantly, and said hesitantly, "That... Aunt Haixing... that's... um... so what..."

"Good boy, just tell me if you have anything to say." Aunt Haixing turned her head and smiled gently at Yang Fan.

Yang Fan nodded, took another deep breath, and finally made up his mind, and said seriously and slowly: "Aunt Haixing, to tell you the truth, in fact... I am not from this planet." Since Aunt Haixing and Yang Fan So open and honest, then there is no need for Yang Fan to hide from her, "Aunt Haixing, although my hometown is not 'overseas', I am not a fellow with you; but, my hometown is indeed In the 'outside'."

"'Tianwai'?..." Aunt Haixing repeated it hesitantly, seemingly puzzled.

Yang Fan nodded, and then pointed to the sky: "Yes, 'outside the sky'. That is, the place 'beyond the sky'. ——Every night, you can see thousands of stars in the sky, right? "

"Yes." Aunt Haixing nodded lightly.

"My hometown is one of the thousands of stars." Yang Fan said with a smile.

Aunt Haixing's knees gave way and she almost collapsed to the ground.

After a long time, she asked with a trembling voice and an expression of disbelief: "Miss Yang Fan... Are you... a fairy?..."

Yang Fan couldn't help but waved his hands in a hurry and said, "Isn't it—how could I be a god? I'm just an ordinary person, I accidentally traveled here."

Aunt Hai Xing stared at Yang Fan for a while, then raised her chin and said slowly, "I would like to hear more about it."

With a smile on the corner of Yang Fan's lips, he stroked his palm and said, "Let's just say, I actually came here from the earth by accident. Humanities are much more advanced than here; science and technology are also much more advanced than here. Compared with our era, this place should be regarded as a very ancient ancient time."

Aunt Hai Xing nodded with a half understanding: "I believe in you."

"Well, thank you."

Yang Fan smiled slightly to express his gratitude, and Fang continued: "Besides, you don't have to worry about us accidentally falling into the big abyss or small abyss at the end of the world—let me tell you this, we, actually Living on the surface of a sphere." So, Yang Fan clenched his fist with his left hand, stretched out his right index finger, and circled it in a vague circle on his left hand, "Here, it's like this.——Do you understand?"

Aunt Haixing nodded slightly.

"Therefore, this world has no end, and there is no huge abyss, or any other terrifying things.——I can tell you very clearly, because this world is a sphere, so, the starting point of the voyage is the world ——In other words, as long as we always sail in one direction, then, one day, we will come back here again.

It's just... I can't promise you this return date.It could be 20 years, 30 years, 50 years, [-] years - we will definitely be back.Therefore, I also hope that your two elders can take care of their health, and it is best to live a long life.After we find a place to settle down, and I also marry the seaweed to the wind and pomp, maybe one day I will drive a bigger boat and bring my sisters, brothers, relatives and friends back. It's up to you. "

"So that's how it is...then, I will accept your good words." Aunt Haixing said kindly.

Yang Fan grinned, nodded and said, "Okay." After thinking for a while, he lowered his voice and said hesitantly, "Well... it's just that I'm an alien... I hope you don't tell Village Chief Haiying for the time being. .”

"Well, I promise you."

"That's fine—then let's go back quickly—" Yang Fan bowed slightly, and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture to Aunt Haixing.

Aunt Haixing nodded, turned around and walked towards the bow.

And Yang Fan followed closely behind.
