Standing on the deck, Tongtong finished answering Xu Tingsheng's last text message, gritted her teeth and threw the phone into the boundless and deep sea in front of her eyes.
She comes from a poor and remote mountain village. She has an unfortunate family and experiences, and she has done unavoidable things. In a city near the sea, this is the first time I have the opportunity to see the sea, the first time to take such a big boat, blowing such a wind...
"If life could be repeated again, I wouldn't let you off so easily, Xu Tingsheng."
"In my next life, I will be clean, read, be independent, wait for that man named Xu Tingsheng to appear, and like him... I won't feel inferior, sad, or run away. I'm not afraid of anything. At least I'll sleep with you, please. Give you the cleanest me! Let you never forget... "
There are some things that she is destined to only say to Dahai in this life.
To clean up her emotions, Tongtong went to the restaurant to pack up some leftover meals, and packed them for Dongzi and Gouge who were nesting in the bilge, and Ding Miao in the cargo box.
Before she reached her position, she heard Dongzi scolding, "Stinky bitch" and "Really unfeeling".
Suddenly couldn't help lowering her head and laughing, Tongtong said, "Dongzi, are you scolding me?"
…
Dongzi was about to cry now. First, he was anxious and didn’t know how to explain what he just said; second, he was happy, with hot food in his mouth, and Tongtong, who he thought he would never see again in this life, suddenly appeared in the in front of you.
"Why did you go abroad like us?" The bosom brother Gou Ge helped Dongzi out of the siege and asked him the question he wanted to ask.
"Well, I want to go out and have a look." Tongtong said with a smile.
"Just take a look? Then you will return to China soon?" Dongzi asked anxiously.
Tongtong shook her head, "Maybe I won't come back."
"Hey!" Dongzi choked, hiccupped, stunned, happy, and said cheekily while beating his chest, "Then, what are you going to do, can you bring the two of us?"
The eager eyes of the two fell on Tongtong, like a person floating on the sea seeing a boat. The fact that the two of them lived abroad independently was not much different from being thrown into the sea.
"You two?" Tongtong said with a smile, "Tell me, what can you two do?"
The two of them froze for a moment.
"We can protect you!" Dongzi said, "You are a girl outside... If someone bullies you, I can fight them desperately."
"I believe this, you have already proved it," Tongtong looked at him, nodded seriously, and then said, "But it's not enough. Do you know English? Do you know how to do business?"
She paused, saw that both of them were silent, and said, "No... can I learn?"
"Well, we...we're not that material." Brother Gou looked embarrassed, and Dongzi nodded helplessly beside him.
"Why is it not that material? Have you tried it? You don't want to learn it, you don't even try it?" Tongtong put on a straight face and said, "Forget it, I don't want to bring two worthless Liability. Let's go our separate ways when we get there..."
"Learn. I'll learn. Whoever doesn't learn is a grandson." Dongzi immediately responded decisively.
Brother Gou rolled his eyes at him, and said helplessly, "Then, I'll try it too."
Tongtong looked back and forth between the two, finally nodded with a smile, and said: "That's fine. We will take care of each other in the future. Let's try it, but if it's really useless for you, don't blame me for crossing the river and tearing down the bridge."
Dongzi said repeatedly: "No, no."
Brother Gou seemed to think of something suddenly, frowned, and said with some disappointment, "Thank you for giving me the chance. But to be honest, the two of us were smuggled immigrants... we have no identity, and we can't see the light. What can we do for you?"
"Don't worry about this, someone will help us solve the problem of identity," Tongtong said, "Not only you two, including me, the three of us will have a brand new identity, and then... everything will start again."
Could there be better news in the world than this? Dongzi and Brother Gou looked into each other's eyes in disbelief, tears almost filled their eyes.
"In the future, no one will be able to find us and threaten him." Tongtong said.
Both of them naturally knew who Tongtong was talking about. Brother Gou continued to be excited, and Dongzi was a little pitiful at the same time... Why did this woman in front of her give up everything and go abroad? It turned out that it was for Xu Tingsheng after all.
Jealousy, even if you know it's impossible, you will naturally get sour when it's time to be sour.
"I also bid farewell to the three of us who had a tainted past. Let's start over." Tongtong said again.
This time I said it from the bottom of my heart.
The next moment, the three of them were all the same, with their backs leaning against the bulkhead, looking at the faint light above their heads, they let out a deep breath. People carry a dark past... It's too hard.
After a while, Dongzi took out a piece of clothing and spread it out for Tongtong to sit down. Eat honestly by yourself.
"Then what are we going to do? Don't worry, we both have plenty of strength." He tried to ask.
Tongtong looked at the bright muscles of his bent elbows, smiled and said, "I have to go over there to see the details. My initial idea now is to make wine... I am more familiar with this, I have a clue, and it is easy to find channels .And the profit from selling foreign wine to China is actually huge, very huge.”
As soon as they heard it, it was reliable. Brother Gou and Dongzi both had bright eyes and nodded excitedly, "This is good, this is good." For them, everything used to be gloomy and hopeless, but now it suddenly became full of hope. hope…
Tongtong got up and said: "Then I will go up today first, and I will deliver meals to you when it is convenient. There are still many days to endure, thank you for your hard work."
Both Dongzi and Brother Gou said that this is really nothing to them.
"By the way, open the box and give this to him." Tongtong pointed to the box containing Ding Miao and said that there was still a meal left.
"Give it to him? Here... find a chance to push it into the sea in the middle of the night and it will be over. Don't waste it?" Brother Gou asked.
"It won't starve people to death. Open it." Tongtong said.
Dongzi pried open the box, and Ding Miao was tightly bound, with a towel stuffed in his mouth, lying between a pile of mustard, biscuits and mineral water, squeezed tightly.
With light in front of his eyes, Ding Miao raised his head and glanced at Tongtong, showing earnest pleading eyes.
"Eat something and drink some water," Tongtong said, "We'll help you remove the towel from your mouth, don't bark."
"If you dare to speak out, I will knock you to death and throw you into the sea." Dongzi threatened from the side.
Ding Miao nodded quickly.
After taking the towel, he did not dare to make a sound.
Tongtong asked Dongzi to drink some water for him first, and then feed him.
"Can you, can you give me a chance? In fact, I can't go back. I just heard you say that I am good at business, and I can help." Ding Miao said sincerely.
"You have a good idea." Dongzi gritted his teeth and said.
Ding Miao ignored him and concentrated on looking at Tongtong. He knows who's in charge here.
"Don't look at me, I think what Dongzi said is right...you have a good idea", Tongtong smiled and shook her head, "Ding Miao, don't waste your time. It's useless, people like you don't deserve any trust and sympathy .I know I'm not as smart as you, so I'm not that stupid."
When Ding Miao finished his meal, with a mournful face, he was stuffed with a towel again, and the lid of the box was closed. Tongtong was about to leave, but Brother Gou asked, "When will you throw him down?"
"Wait for the boat to go for another two days." Tongtong said.
Ding Miao, who was in the box, urinated on the spot.
…
Two days later, in the middle of the night in the sea, taking advantage of the fact that most of the crew members were already sound asleep, the people arranged by Ye Qing put a small boat on the surface of the sea, and then returned to the cabin to sleep without looking at it.
Dongzi and Gou had been on the boat before, and they were familiar with everything on the sea. They carried the box onto the boat, and then took Tongtong onto the boat.
The boat crossed the pitch-black sea in the night, walked for twenty minutes, and appeared in front of a deserted island.
Dongzi and Gou got off the boat, carried the box to the island, opened it, untied Ding Miao's rope, and pulled him out.
Ding Miao, who suddenly found himself in shallow water, was motionless and at a loss.
"Brother Zhong said, life and death are fate... let God decide your life and death." Tongtong pointed to the deserted island behind him and said, "We left you here, whether you can survive is up to you gone."
This... is too unreasonable. What are you doing? Are you kidding? After listening to Tongtong's words, Ding Miao's head was in a mess for a while, and he didn't know how to react.
I thought I was going to die, but now that I have the hope of life, I should be happy. But Ding Miao has watched "Robinson Crusoe", he just never imagined that he would have such a day.
He also knew that he probably couldn't be Robinson Crusoe.
Ivy League graduate, business elite, scheming, cunning, ruthless, charming... It's useless!
While Tongtong was talking, Dongzi and Gouge took some water, biscuits and mustard from the box and put them on the beach.
"Those are reserved for your life-saving time. Don't eat them all at once. This place is not on the route, and you may not be able to meet a boat passing by soon. You have to rely on yourself. There are caves on the island and fresh water sources. Fruits to eat, animals... You can also get food at the seaside... Forget it, let's study it by yourself." Tongtong spread her hands and said.
"Private sunny beach, we found it, and now it's yours... Young Master Ding, oh no, Master Ding... don't be too comfortable." Brother Gou jokingly said.
This deserted island was discovered when Brother Gou and Dongzi were on a smuggling boat before because of an accident on the boat.
But the two of them can survive on this island for more than two months, and if they find a chance to survive, it doesn't mean that Ding Miao can do it too... The so-called social elites and rich people, in this environment, ten of them are not worth one who is physically strong and has the sea. Experience, a crew who can grit their teeth and survive.
Moreover, this deserted island is indeed not on the route. If there are no special circumstances, the ship may not be seen passing by for several months or half a year. Even if it encounters... it may not be found or discovered.
Let everything be decided by God. Also give Ding Miao his own will and destiny.
The three returned to the boat and the boat started.
"Hey, what are you doing? Woo... don't go!" Ding Miao, who had been in a daze, finally came to his senses, and finally realized that this is true...not a movie, not a novel...
"Please, don't go!"
"Don't leave me alone..."
"I can't do it! Please forgive me."
Ding Miao chased after a few steps, and found that the sea water flowed over his chest, so he dared not chase any more.
"Where is the water source?"
"Where is the cave?"
"Are there any snakes on the island? Are snakes poisonous?"
"Oh... fire, leave me some more lighters!"
"I have never learned how to make fire by drilling wood..."
The small boat got farther and farther away on the sea surface and gradually disappeared.
Ding Miao lay down on the beach, holding up a lighter found on the food pile, crying loudly...
Modern society, civilized society... what is this called? !
…
The boat headed back toward the ship in the dark sea.
Brother Gou was driving the boat, while Tongtong and Dongzi were sitting opposite each other.
"Do you think Ding Miao can leave that island alive?" Dongzi asked. In fact, according to his judgment, the chance is not great... He doesn't think Ding Miao has that kind of will, physique and ability to survive in the wild.
Moreover, loneliness and despair are actually more murderous than difficult circumstances. Perhaps the more books a person reads, the richer his thoughts and emotions are, the more this mental pain is tormented.
"I don't know. I don't know about this." Tongtong said calmly.
"Then what if he survives, and then get on the boat..." Dongzi said.
Tongtong said calmly: "Then the fact that he fled in fear of crime has already been established, and there is no way to argue. And don't forget, Ding Sen's matter was indeed done by him, and his subordinate who was almost silenced is still there... Do you think he Dare to go back publicly?! I think, if he really survives, he will most likely be like us, find a place to start again. Maybe he will become a different person, and he will see through many things other than life. "
"It's true," Dongzi said, "I'm just afraid that if he gets mad, he will go..."
"Brother Zhong said, if there is such an event, just assume that Xu Ting is doomed to have this calamity in his life. We should also believe...he can handle it. He is Xu Tingsheng."
It was Xu Tingsheng again, Dongzi's heart ached.
"By the way, you said that you probably won't come back, so will you marry a foreigner in the future?" Dongzi asked deliberately with a smile.
"I don't marry a foreigner." Tongtong shook her head and said.
"Then... I think, I think... we'd better go to a place with few Chinese people. The less the better..." Dongzi spoke in a low voice, and his words were blown away by the sea breeze.
"What did you say?" Tong Tong asked.
Dongzi took a deep breath and plucked up his courage, "I mean, do you think... Do you think it is possible in the future that you will be taken advantage of by me if you are not careful?"
"Huh?" Tongtong looked at him, laughed and said, "When you become rich, learn a foreign language, and have a stable life... Even in a foreign country, it's easy to find a woman... Babes! What do you mean by picking me up? Cheap… "
"I just thought it was, so I wanted to pick it up," Dongzi summoned up his courage and said, "Just tell me, do you think it's possible?"
"Before I forget Xu Tingsheng, it's impossible."
Dongzi was thinking about falling headlong into the sea.
"That doesn't mean it's impossible..."
"Who said that?" Tongtong said, "Time and environment can change many things. I will try my best to forget."
In the early morning of the sea, the sun is about to rise, and the light is rippling.
There is always hope in life.
