C56 Leave the Island(1)
"Spice, you're back!" I've already heard that you just saved Second Gou Zi who had fallen into the sea. I didn't expect a girl like you, who looks weak and weak, to be able to swim so well. " The moment they stepped into the room, the old man said to Soong Shiyan.
"How did the news spread so fast that even you knew about it?" Soong Shiyan said shyly. He didn't expect that in such a short time, his uncle would already know that he had just saved them. It seemed that this island was really small!
"Since Ergou-zi's arm is broken, his parents sent him here to be reattached. He just left not long ago. Well, that egg bowl was sent by Ergou-zi's mother as a thank-you gift!" The old man pointed to the large pot of eggs in the yard. "With so many, I don't know how long it will take to finish them all."
"Uncle, saving that child is something I should do. Why did you accept the egg that was sent over?" Soong Shiyan said gloomily, "If this were to spread out, the people on the island would probably think that I was the kind of person who liked to take advantage of people!"
"Caraway, everyone on our island is like that. They like to give us something!" "Besides, you saved his family's Ergouzi's life, so he wanted to give you some things to thank you from the bottom of his heart. If I don't take the egg for you, you'll be in deep trouble then." The old man explained with a smile.
Soong Shiyan thought for a moment and felt that what her uncle said was reasonable, so she accepted the bowl of eggs sent over by Ergou with peace of mind.
"I've already boiled the hot water, and the medicine is still simmering in the pot. You and the lentinus edodes should quickly wash up, then come out and drink the medicine to prevent a cold." said the old man, pointing to the pot on the stove.
"Mm, got it. We'll go now." Soong Shiyan said, slightly moved.
… ….
Soong Shiyan and Lentinus edodes finished their bath and drank some medicine. The uncle had already set up the dishes and asked them to come over for dinner.
Soong Shiyan and the mushroom heard him and sat at the table. As they were about to move their chopsticks, their uncle suddenly said, "Cauliflower, I went out to sea and caught a lot of fish today. Tomorrow, I'm going to the market at the city's docks to sell these fish to fishmongers. It's already winter and neither of you have a decent winter coat. Tomorrow, I'll go buy some for you. "So, we have to get up early tomorrow morning. Lentinus edodes, he likes to stay in bed. You have to wake him up, okay?"
"Mm, I understand. I will get the lentinus edodes to wake up earlier." Soong Shiyan nodded and then buried her head into the food. It was just that she didn't know how to eat the flower crab porridge that she loved to eat in the past. Soong Shiyan's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding. Why did she always feel that something bad was going to happen tomorrow?
"Spice, what happened? "Why don't you have an appetite?" the old man asked as he saw Soong Shiyan frowning and lost in thought.
Soong Shiyan shook her head and forced a smile. "I'm fine." She comforted herself in her heart. It was probably because she had been soaking in the sea for a long time, so she always let her imagination run wild today.
In the early morning, Soong Shiyan pulled the sleepy mushroom, sat on her uncle's fishing boat and left Gaoshun Island. Today was the first time in more than two months that she had left the island.
Soong Shiyan looked back and saw that the island was covered with a hazy morning mist. It was quiet and beautiful, like a paradise that was not disturbed by the mundane world. As the sky began to brighten, the seagulls soaring above the sea let out crisp cries and the engines of the fishing boats roared. Soong Shiyan lay on the boat and closed her eyes as she watched the blue sea connect with the sky.
She opened her eyes and found that the scene in front of her was no longer the same as when she first saw him.
A white yacht. A woman wearing a wedding dress was lying on the deck, looking at the man beside her. She said in a choked voice, "I was extremely thankful to God for letting us meet. However, the young and ignorant me didn't expect this. The heavens had long secretly written down this ending, and between you and me, it was destined to be a period of ill fate. [The tragic one who ends up being the one who gives it to the gods … That's the one who gives it to the real one!]
Soong Shiyan curiously sized up the woman in the wedding dress, but was greatly frightened. It was because that woman's face had been slashed with a sharp knife. It was a horrible sight to behold. In the end, that woman was thrown into the vast sea along with the safe by the scholarly man in her eyes.
"Ah!" Soong Shiyan only felt that she was out of breath. She opened her eyes in fright, abruptly sat up, and looked around. Where is the white yacht? Where was the woman in the wedding dress? She was still on the old fishing boat. Just now, it was just a dream! But why did this dream make her feel it as well?
"Spice, you, what, what is it?" Mushroom, seeing Soong Shiyan scream and sit up, looked at her worriedly and asked.
Soong Shiyan wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and shook her head at the mushroom with a forced smile. "It's alright. I was just having a nightmare."
The Mushroom let Soong Shiyan lean on its shoulder and firmly said to her, "Fragrance, I will, protect you."
Soong Shiyan leaned on Mushroom's shoulder and looked at the misty sky. Even though it was still far away, she could already see the bustling and busy dock. The feeling of unease in her heart grew stronger and stronger, until she couldn't help but want to retreat.
Lentinus edodes looked at the distant pier. His expression was not very good, and his palms were dripping with sweat. Neither he nor Soong Shiyan spoke, and even the air seemed silent.
Soon, the fishing boat arrived at the dock.
The uncle anchored the fishing boat, took out the money he had in his pocket and handed it to Soong Shiyan, saying, "The cilantro, go straight from the dock to the west for a short distance, it will be a market. The market has everything. You and the mushrooms go buy winter clothes, I will wait here for the customers. After I finish selling these fish, I will go find you. If I don't find you guys, I'll just go back to the ship and wait for you guys.
Soong Shiyan took the money from her uncle and nodded. "Got it, uncle!" After she finished speaking, Soong Shiyan grabbed the lentinus edodes and walked outside with them. She followed the route her uncle had told her to follow, finally leaving the pier and arriving at the market.
In such a huge market, there were all kinds of people coming and going. Soong Shiyan looked at everything in the market with a face full of novelty. She thought that this was probably the first time she had seen such a market, which was why she was so excited. The lentinus edodes were not much better than she was. They also had a curious look on their faces. They looked left and right.
"Lentinus edodes, I'll choose a set of clothes for you first!" Soong Shiyan pulled the lentinus edodes to a stall and said with a smile.
"Yo, miss, what do you think of this dress? Do you like it? Miss's boyfriend is tall and handsome, he's just like a walking clothes rack. This kind of clothes, it really is perfect! " When the stall owner saw Soong Shiyan pulling a mushroom over, she picked up a black piece of clothing and passionately offered it to Soong Shiyan.2
