"I survived falling into the sea twice. I'm really lucky to be alive. Thank you, comrades."
His eyes were red-rimmed.
After being swept ashore on that small island by the waves, he was almost completely helpless.
In previous years, when there was a food shortage, he could at least pick some tree leaves to eat. But on the island, apart from going into the sea to find something to eat, he couldn't find anything edible at all.
Poor thing, he was getting thinner and thinner and his strength was getting worse. He often ate one day and went hungry for two days.
He raised his dark, grimy hand, which looked no different from a skeleton.
He really couldn't have held on if he didn't dream about his family every night.
Every night he would dream that he had gone home, but his family could not see him.
He couldn't reach them either, and could only watch helplessly as his wife, daughters, and mother were tormented by his unscrupulous younger brother and sister-in-law.
The mother and her two children were forced to live in the woodshed, where it was cold in winter and hot in summer.
The mother fell ill and soon passed away. The wife grew thinner and thinner, weeping day and night by the sea, and eventually went blind.
Her younger brother disliked that she couldn't work, so he kicked her out, leaving his daughter alone at home to take care of his entire family.
The little one ate very little and worked very hard, becoming so thin that he was skin and bones. Once, while working by the sea, he fainted from hunger and fell into the sea and died.
If I'm not mistaken, my sister-in-law should be giving birth around these days. After my nephew was born, it became a nightmare for his mother, wife, and daughter.
At first, he thought it was just because he missed his family too much that he had such a dream. After all, in the dream, days passed one by one, while when he woke up, it was just one night.
When he was at home, although his younger brother was a scoundrel and his sister-in-law was lazy and gluttonous, at least they didn't dare to go too far openly.
But the dream felt so real that it made him panic, so the closer he got to home, the more afraid he became, and he desperately wanted to see his living family.
Xie Lin was certain; he had accidentally brought the person into the space.
It startled him; he thought the space had led somewhere else again.
Thinking of that little door from before, he felt a little regretful. How wonderful it would be if he could go back and take a look.
I wonder how the world over there is now?
When will it be able to return to its former prosperity?
"I'm a soldier from the island. Relax, can you get up? Where is your home? We'll take you back."
Wan Tiezhu felt somewhat apologetic. He had indeed been worried that the other party might harm him, since he didn't know them and few people usually came to this side of the mountain.
I felt relieved, but I felt even weaker; the seawater made me feel icy cold all over.
He might be able to walk on flat ground, but he wouldn't have the stamina to climb mountains.
He said somewhat embarrassedly, "I... I might not be able to leave."
"Comrade, my wife's name is Xia Lanfang. She was a sent-down youth. Could you help me inform her?"
“My home is at the end of the village. If my wife and mother are not home, please ask my daughter to come over. My daughter’s name is Wan Jiaxin.”
