It's hard to be a prodigal

Jiang Zong lay in the gap and watched Le Lian's every move. Following his gaze, his eyes lit up. He tiptoed down the wooden pole and climbed into the rudder cabin through the narrow gap between the deck and the bilge. The helmsman was already lying on the ground and passed away. A knife mark on his back almost cut the body into two.

Jiang Zong quietly moved to the front of the rudder, and followed the navigation chart to find the sea area he was most familiar with.

The merchant ship was still moving, but unknowingly deviated from its course, and went straight to the sea area where the ship hit the rocks and sunk in the previous life, not far away.

The heavy merchant ship suddenly bumped into the shallow reef, and the mountain shook suddenly. The water ghosts on the deck couldn't stand up and fell down one after another.

The leader found something abnormal, and ordered a few water ghosts to search the rudder cabin in a low voice. Le Lian took the opportunity to rush out of the encirclement.

Hearing the hurried and noisy footsteps outside the rudder cabin, Jiang Zong quickly crawled out along the narrow opening where he came, opened the tarpaulin and tore the cloth bag, and poured the bag full of stone pearl powder into the rudder cabin.

Gray smoke and dust filled the air, and the dozen or so water ghosts who broke into the rudder cabin couldn't see anything and had to chop at random. Jiang Zong brought several bags of stone powder to press the wooden door, and dumped them all into the rudder cabin. The smoke and dust almost filled the air. rudder compartment.

"Let's reincarnate early." Jiang Zong squinted his eyes, took out a torch and blew it on, and stuffed it into the gap in the rudder cabin.

An earth-shattering explosion resounded throughout the sea area, and the cargo ship heaved violently in the waves, then broke suddenly, and was severed in two by the turbulent waves.

Cargo, masts, or struggling people fell into the sea like lice being shaken off, Jiang Zong was thrown into the water, and the icy sea water suddenly froze his whole body.

The familiar extreme cold and suffocating pain hit Jiang Zong. Despite his rebirth, the ending remained unchanged.

The sea water cut off all sound, Jiang Zong fell slowly in the silent darkness, before he touched the bottom, he was hugged tightly by both hands and hugged into his arms.

It seemed that someone was floating him upwards, but he couldn't move anymore.

In the water, he slowly opened his eyes. He didn't know where he was, he couldn't feel the water, and he couldn't feel breathing.

Not far away, Jiang Zong saw a man desperately trying to save a corpse.

"Lelian." Jiang Zong wanted to get a closer look at him.

There were a few fine lines at the corners of Le Lian's eyes, and his skin became rougher. There was a light scar on his cheek. It was from Jiang Zong who broke up with him. The attack was not serious at the time, and the ring scratched Le Lian's face. s face.

"Does it still hurt?" Jiang Zong stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the scar, his fingers passed through Le Lian's body with nothingness, and retracted in surprise.

Le Lian swam towards a small boat with a corpse in his arms, dragged the heavy corpse onto the boat, wrapped his cold body with clothes, hugged him tightly, his eyes were bloodshot, pious and painful, just like holding a statue dead idol.

Jiang Zong followed him in the boat and tried the breathing of the person in his arms for him.

"He's dead, Le Lian." Jiang Zong wanted to tell him, but he couldn't hear him.

Le Lian put his face close to the corpse, the corners of his lips pressed against his temperatureless forehead, and his eyes that could never be opened again.

The corpse in his arms is a beauty, even though he is not breathing, his face is very handsome and upright, if those closed phoenix eyes are opened, it will be charming, even if it turns into a skeleton, it will be the most attractive among the dead The eye-catching one.

"It's my corpse." Jiang Zong muttered in a daze.

Le Lian raised his head in pain, tears flowed down those indifferent and lonely eyes, Jiang Zong was startled, and hurriedly wiped them off, but couldn't touch him.

He had no choice but to put Wu Wu's hand on the back of Lelian's, and he could feel his sadness.

These hands are familiar yet very strange.The same broad and strong knuckles and slender knuckles, but with different rough scars, Jiang Zong has never touched Le Lian's hand in his previous life, so it doesn't make the heart beat so fast, it's very ordinary.

Why does the owner of such a pair of ordinary hands always stand tall and refuse to look at him as a mortal, obviously he is a beast on the ground, but he still pretends to be a lone cloud and a wild crane.

The boat floated back to the shore, and Jiang Zong still followed him, watching Le Lian running around holding his dead body, pushing open the doors of every medical center, and finally knelt down to the temporary residence of the wandering doctor named Yun Xing, He took out all his wealth, leaving nothing behind, and begged Yun Xing to save the corpse.

Jiang Zong stood outside the window looking at him, smiled: "You are stupid, I've been dead for so many days, only you don't think it smells bad, throw it away quickly. If you don't throw it away, I won't be beautiful anymore."

If Yun Xing is rejuvenated again, what can he do with a corpse.

Even if Le Lian held the eternal life jade that he spent ten thousand gold in his mouth, the time passed for too long, and the body gradually began to wither.

Jiang Zong sat by the seaside with Le Lian, with his fading corpse beside him.

Le Lian looked at the sea water rushing to the rocky beach again and again, and said to himself: "What is the purpose of living? I have lived for 33 years. I don't know why I live except to make money."

Jiang Zong knew he couldn't hear him, but he still replied softly: "Being the one you love, okay."

Le Lian closed his eyes and murmured with a smile: "If I hadn't deliberately changed the bracelet on the table to a smaller one that day, would you still be so angry?"

Jiang Zong frowned and looked at him.

Le Lian took out a small sandalwood box from his sleeve, took out a violet bracelet, raised the corpse's hand, and gently slipped it in. The size was right.

"I married someone else, so I can no longer give you everything I have, so I have to stay away from you, let you give up, and let me give up." Le Lian tightly grasped the corpse's hand, pressed it to his heart, and leaned over lightly. He gently picked up the corpse and walked slowly towards the sea.

"Jiang Zong, if there is a next life, I will tell you when I was young, I admire you."

Jiang Zong was anxious to stop him, but he couldn't catch him no matter what: "Lelian!"

Le Lian walked into the deep sea with Jiang Zong's body in his arms, until he was submerged, and never appeared again.

Jiang Zong sat on the rocky beach as if lost in his soul, looking at the turbulent white waves, burst into tears, and whispered to himself: "You stupid idiot, you are only worthy of hugging a dead man."

The waves hit the face sharply and stinging.

Jiang Zong suddenly woke up, and found that he was still submerged in the sea, Le Lian was holding him with one hand, and paddling forward with the other, to a small boat not far away.

Jiang Zong stared at the young smooth face in front of him, and called out tentatively, "Lelian?"

Before he could cry out, he coughed violently, spitting out a large gust of sea water, his head was spinning, and was hugged by Le Lian, who patted his back gently.

"Brother Zong..." Le Lian's eyes were red, as if he had just cried, and his speech was accompanied by a choked nasal voice. He happily hugged Jiang Zong, and continued to drag him to swim, grabbing the side of the boat, and pushed Jiang Zong into the boat first. .

Jiang Zong wanted to pull him up, but froze suddenly, and saw that the water all over Le Lian was blood red.

Le Lian's face was as pale as paper, and he couldn't climb into the boat at all. Jiang Zong dragged Le Lian into the boat with all his strength. There was a broken piece of wood stuck in his belly, which was as thick as a rolling pin, and his clothes were dripping with blood.

"Xiao Lian'er." Jiang Zong tried his best to calm himself, bowed to support him, and coaxed him softly, "Don't worry, I'm prepared. Before going out to sea, I sent people to put thousands of boats in this sea area, tied to the rocks. There is an island not far away, there are residents and medicinal materials on the shore, just minor injuries, not serious."

The boat flowed along the water, the sea was calm, and the remote island could be seen soon.

Le Lian grabbed Jiang Zong's hand, clasped his fingers together slowly, and said gently, "It doesn't hurt."

Jiang Zong was in pain, he bent down and kept kissing Lelian's eyes, choked up and said, "Don't be afraid." He didn't dare to pull out that piece of wood rashly, fearing that if he pulled it out, the bleeding would not be stopped.

Le Lian smiled and said nothing.

The boat drifted for a day, and then saw the small island. Jiang Zong desperately paddled the water with his hands to urge the boat to go faster, and when he reached the shallow water, he carried Le Lian on his back and went ashore.

This is a small island that is more isolated than imagined, a simple village built of stones, and barefoot merchants sitting on the ground selling goods, fortunately they can still communicate, Jiang Zong found a house to take him and the two of them temporarily, turned around and wanted to rush out to find the doctor .

Le Lian grabbed his wrist wearily: "Don't go out."

Jiang Zong pushed his hand away anxiously: "Wait for me, no matter how closed this place is, there will always be sickness, I don't believe that no one here can treat illnesses!"

Le Lian raised his eyes and looked at him imploringly: "Don't leave me."

He was like a wounded little wolf, begging not to be abandoned.

Jiang Zong pursed his lips, and handed money to the old lady of this family, begging the old lady to find a doctor who can treat diseases. Fortunately, money can be circulated in this place, but bank notes are not.

Le Lian fumbled to hold Jiang Zong's hand again, and Jiang Zong let him go, only hoping that Le Lian would survive this catastrophe.

"I'll be with you." Jiang Zong held Le Lian's hand in his palm with red eyes, and pressed it to his lips, "You are still young, and there is still a long way to go, you are really fine, don't be afraid."

He had just watched Le Lian in his previous life sink into the ocean and commit suicide in despair.

If all the phantoms in the dream were real, he would not have the courage to try again the pain of losing a loved one.

Le Lian forced a smile, gently took Jiang Zong's hand, and said calmly: "The person you catch when you die will become your lover in the next life, do you know that?"

Jiang Zong froze, staring at him blankly.

Le Lian failed to make him laugh, and said disappointedly: "My mother said it. Maybe I misremembered, maybe it's not true."

Jiang Zong said dumbly: "That's right."

it is true.
