Seeing that the small sampan was about to arrive, Yi Sa suddenly knocked on the rudder: "Go."

Chen Tuqi said: "Let's go?"

All the people who visited us are in front of us. According to the hospitality method, we have to exchange greetings. There is no hurry to move a motorcycle.

Yi Sa frowned: "Can you have some tacit understanding?"

I understand, this man is not popular, she doesn't want to be polite at all, maybe she just wants to leave deliberately and give him a warning in person.

Watching the fun was not a big deal. Chen Tu was excited for no reason and drove the boat in a hurry. He made mistakes in the chaos and failed to blast the oil.

It was only a few seconds before Ma Jiu pulled the paddle and the small sampan came over.

Chen Tu couldn't help but feel that he was slow and embarrassed.

But Yi Sa lifted his eyelids and greeted Ding Qi like nothing happened: "Here you come?"

Ding Qi smiled: "Yes."

"Have you eaten?"

"not yet."

Yi Sa turned around and called out Sister Xiang.

Li Zhenxiang was killing fish in the kitchen, and her hands were bleeding.

Yi Sa asked her: "Is there any leftover rice noodles just now?"

Li Zhenxiang nodded: "You can still hold a bowl or two."

"Then give this guy a bowl."

She turned her head and looked at Ding Qi again, smiling enthusiastically: "I have something to do, you can eat first, and then talk back."

After saying that, he knocked on the rudder again.

Chen Tu reacted and drove the boat quickly. This time it went smoothly. Ma Jiu hurriedly asked for help.

When they were passing each other, Chen Tu saw several large supermarket plastic bags on the small sampan, stuffed with colorful pastries, biscuits, chocolates.

I couldn't see Ding Qi's expression, and I thought it was very embarrassing.

The boat was driving far away, and Chen Tu was still sighing, but the general idea was that someone came to the door with a gift, so you should be kind enough.

Yi Sa ignored him and just asked when he turned, "Why are you walking on this path? You need to get closer there."

Chen Tu said: "I don't like those Thai guys."

***

This floating village originally only lived in local fishermen and Vietnamese, but later there were more Chinese. Thais were the last ones, with the smallest number of people. I don’t know if it was because there were fewer people and they were afraid of being bullied. So they were evil and offended the original residents through some trivial matters. Finally, they were a little self-aware and gathered in the southwest corner to live. They gathered in a village in the village, and they heard about the chickens and dogs around them, and basically did not interact with each other.

Moreover, Chen Tu also heard some rumors that if it was true, these Thai guys were definitely not something he could afford.

Yi Sa said: "The clinic is doing all kinds of business, and the Thai guys are also guests. You can't help but like others... By the way, your boathouse is big, so set a bed for Ding Chi, and make him three meals, so the money is mine."

Chen Tuxie said: "Why?"

Yi Sa looked calm: "My home is small, let's talk about it. I am a conservative person, and the lonely man and widowed woman live together, which will affect my reputation."

Chen Tu said: "Just just say you dislike him, don't be so humorous."

***

When I got ashore, the motorcycle was still standing against the bamboo pole, but the high-rise building was empty. Looking around, I couldn't see the shadow of Old Man Ma.

Yi Sa threw the car keys to Chen Tu, signaling to ask the man to do it for him, and sat on the pile of waste: "That man surnamed Ma, he stuffed me a missing person notice two days ago, and moved to the place today. It seems that he feels that he has no hope here."

Chen Tu opened the lock: "There is no hope everywhere. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that his daughter is probably dead. A young girl has disappeared for so long and has no news. If she doesn't die, how can she do a miracle?"

Yi Sa said: "I feel so too."

She sighed: "I, when I was a child, I liked to listen to fairy tales and believed in the existence of miracles. Now I can't do it anymore. People are old, reality, and their hearts are hardened."

Chen Tu spat at her: "I said to me, "Who are you scolding me?" There are not even folds on your face... You've still rested, right? You're leaving!"

Yi Sa became lazy.

The waste sheet was piled loosely, so she sat together and scattered downwards, revealing a blue corner below.

Yi Sa leaned over to see.

Chen Tu pushed the motorcycle and walked a few steps. Seeing that she hadn't followed her, she was a little impatient. She was about to urge her to say a few more words, Yi Sa suddenly kicked the pile of waste a few times and kicked the pile apart.

Then he waved to him: "Look at me."

Chen Tuo was puzzled and put on the motorcycle's pedals and returned.

There is a blue plastic flip-flop on the ground, half old, on the left foot.

Yi Sa said: "I have an impression that these are the shoes worn by Old Man Ma, but only one foot is left."

If someone leaves and throws his shoes, he won’t throw them away.

She took a few steps across the scattered waste and bent down to look around under the hollow pedestal.

I saw the messy footprints and scratches of my nails snatching into the mud.

She pondered for a while and then came out again.

Chen Tu asked: "What do you say?"

Yi Sa said: "It was probably asked to kidnap someone."

She frowned: "It's weird, why can't you get along with an old man?"

Chen Tu tsk: "It's hard to say. You can sell it to a slave labourer on a fishing boat. Once you get on the boat, you sign a contract for your body. You will never have the chance to step on the ground in your life. You will work from morning to night. You are not afraid of getting old and throwing it into the sea when you die... Our compatriots are miserable. My daughter was not found, and I lost it myself."

He said it sadly, but he did not feel sympathy in his heart: he left his hometown, fled overseas, and settled in such a place. He was miserable and had seen many worse things. His cocoons were formed in seven or eight layers. He had long known what it felt like to be soft-hearted.

Yi Sa raised his head and looked at the scattered houses on the lake: "Do you know who did it?"

Chen Tu didn't care: "Everyone can do it, no one knows who is in this place."

You thought that dull man was just fishing, but in fact there were guns under the bed with pink; the woman smiled shyly at you, and maybe a dead person who had just cut his throat in the door behind her...

Be more careful and be more blessed.

Yi Sa frowned: "Next time you meet the leaders of those communities, you have to tell them that there must be rules for living anywhere, and you can't do anything at your doorstep."

***

In the evening, it started to rain heavily.

As soon as the rain came, it became dark, there was wind on the lake, and the sound of rain seemed particularly loud, and the sight was vast, and I couldn't see clearly through three or five steps.

Chen Tu lives on the second floor, and the first floor of the boat house is the kitchen, toilet, utility room and crocodile cage.

Ding Qi's bed was built in a corner of the storage room, which was very simple. Strictly speaking, it was not a bed, but two square tables were put together, with an old straw mat on it.

Ding Qi stared at the bed, a little helpless and a little funny.

There was a sound of plastic raincoats outside the door.

Looking back, Yi Sa came over wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, "Is there any problem? I'll leave if there is no problem."

Suddenly I remembered something again: "By the way, keep the things you bought, eat them yourself. I just finished my physical examination two days ago and my blood sugar was too high. The doctor said I couldn't eat sweet things, for fear that I would have diabetes."

After saying that, he smiled at Ding Qi, and his smile was very sweet. A few strands of hair were wet with rain and stuck to the porcelain white face.

She had a face that was extremely simple and harmless when she smiled. If someone else had changed, she would probably be easily confused by this face.

But he didn't. A few days ago, she led him into the minefield.

Ding Qi said: "Yi Sa, there may be some misunderstanding between us..."

Yi Sa smiled and said, "Misunderstanding?"

The rain was heavy, and she was afraid that she would wet her shoes. She beat her barefoot and held a plastic bag with the shoe in her hand. The plastic bag was wet with rain. The water droplets slid to the bottom of the bag one by one, gathering one by one, and then falling down again and again.

It landed at her feet.

Her feet were soaked in water, especially white, and the two words on her ankles were the only cold and hard part of her appearance—

Go to death.

Ding Qi lowered his voice: "I did watch you in those two days. There is no other meaning. It's just out of curiosity that there were so many people who died in the Sanjiangyuan incident. You are the only one who survived the accident. Everyone regards you as a legend."

He had heard of the car she was staying at: the body was stained with blood, the roof cover was concave, and when the car was found, the doors were wide open, and peanuts and peanut shells were rolling everywhere.

The recorder was playing fairy tales, but there was no one in the car.

At that time, everyone who searched and rescued thought that the child was gone or died.

Who knew that I found it. Around a stream more than ten miles away from the convoy's base, people were curled up, frozen like a lump of ice.

Everyone thought she was helpless, but unexpectedly, she started a fire, took a hot bath, and covered her with a quilt, and became angry again.

She had a high fever for seven days. It is said that when she had a fever, she kept muttering nonsense, and every word she could not escape from death.

——Go to die...

——I'm going to die.
To be continued...
