Chapter 4 Awakening
At night, the sea breeze whistled through the coconut trees in waves, making the leaves rustle. In the stone house, the candle wick in the glass lampshade was swaying and beating, and Shi Qing and Shi Baitang were smoking dry cigarettes worriedly.
"Is Shanshan asleep?" Shi Baitang asked while puffing on his cigarette holder.
"Well, Xiuxiu coaxed him to sleep, hugging the doll his father bought for him last time, haha." Shi Qing looked up at Shi Baitang, blew out smoke and said, "Uncle, you go to sleep too,
I just need to guard here."
"It's okay. If you wait a little longer, maybe they will come back tonight." Shi Baitang shook his head and said while twisting the deep wrinkles on his face.
"These years have been really hard on Aaron and his sister-in-law. They come in the wind and rain, and spend more time in the sea than on the shore. I don't know if I can get the fish money back this time. Alas!" Shi Qingqing
With a sigh, a stream of light blue smoke came out of his mouth and slowly drifted upward.
"Repaying debts is a matter of course. Today is no better than in the old society, where landlords and bullies bullied the people. Now that the police are in charge, no one dares to bully the people. Don't worry blindly." Shi Baitang gently knocked on his pipe and shook off the ashes.
, took out the tobacco bag with his shriveled fingers, pulled it gently with both hands, put his index finger and thumb into the bag, pinched out a small handful of tobacco, and slowly filled it into the black pipe. Shi Qing took off the lampshade beside him and put out the candle.
He lit a cigarette for the old man.
"Alas -" Shi Baitang tilted his head and looked at the strange man lying on the wooden bed in the corner of the room. He sighed softly and said, "I have been in a coma for two days and one night. I am really afraid that even if I wake up by then, I will be useless."
Already."
Shi Qing also turned to look at the man, puffed out smoke and said, "I don't know where this man fell into the water. I haven't heard of anyone living within a hundred miles. He probably fell from the boat."
." After saying that, he looked at the man again, leaned over and lowered his voice and said, "Look at the wound on his shoulder, it should be a gunshot wound! It can't be..."
"Hey~" the old man waved his hand and said, "No, he looks serious with his thick eyebrows. He doesn't look like a gangster on the sea. I think he might be a member of the People's Liberation Army. The shot on him was probably shot by the Vietnamese.
!" When Shi Qing heard this, he felt that it made sense.
Heading off. Many islands in the Nansha, Zhongsha, and Paracel Islands are occupied by other neighboring countries, especially Vietnam and the Philippines. They are plundering oil resources and openly stationing troops on the islands, pretending to protect their homeland.
Come to defend your country.
"Er~~" A weak moan came from the man's mouth. Shi Baitang immediately put the cigarette rod on the table, stood up and said to Shi Qing: "Quickly ask Shi Xiu to bring boiling water and towels."
Under the weak candlelight, the man was struggling to move his arms and support his weak body to sit up. Shi Baitang stepped forward to help him and asked kindly: "Brother, do you feel better?"
The man looked around the room blankly, then looked at the old man doubtfully, and said his first words after coming to Mujima: "This is...you, who are you?"
Shi Baitang chuckled, helped him lean against the wall, let go and sat down, picked up the cigarette rod again and took a nice puff, then said with a smile: "My name is Shi Baitang, I am an old fisherman from Mudao. Just yesterday afternoon,
It happens that the people on our island
I saw you floating in the sea, so I fished you out." After a pause, Shi Baitang saw that the man had no intention of speaking, and then asked, "So, brother, can you tell me now, your name is
What’s the name?”
"Me?" The man frowned and lowered his head as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he looked at Shi Baitang in astonishment and said uneasily: "What is my name? Why don't I know it? This -
Me, who am I?"
"What?" Shi Baitang asked in surprise, taking the cigarette rod from his mouth, and then frowned with suspicion on his face. He guessed that he might have deliberately found an excuse to hide it because his identity was inconvenient to reveal, but looking at his expression, he always felt that he
It didn't look like he was faking it. While he was deep in thought, the door of the stone house was knocked open with a bang, and Shi Xiu and Shi Qing were seen walking in, supporting Shi Long, whose shoulders and head were covered with gauze, followed by
