Chapter 204
"Since you are so worried, then okay, you can rest here."
Green sighed.
After a while, Abola became excited again, clamoring to go out to the sea, and insisted that Green accompany him.
"It's so fun outside, it's big, wide and beautiful. It's so hard to go out once, don't you want to go out again? It's so boring to stay in a small place all the time. It's not like you are short of money."
Abola said.
"Then what do you want?"
Green asked.
"Let's go out together again. If we can catch a big fish this time, maybe I can pay off the loan. You also hope that I can pay you back sooner."
Abola asked.
"It won't be an exception next time."
Green said.
"I know."
Abola nodded.
"The wind and waves are too strong. We may have to drift on the sea for a while. If we are unlucky, we may even be stranded on a desert island. But don't worry too much now. Someone will find us."
said the captain.
There was a strong thunderstorm in the sky, and it was dark.
The ship rocked on the sea for a long time before slowly stopping. When it got light, it was already unclear where it was.
This seemed to be a strange place. The ship gradually approached the shore. However, this shore was also very strange.
"We won't die here, will we?"
Abola asked.
"It won't be that easy to die."
Green replied.
"Yes, yes, it's not as easy to die as before. Don't worry. As long as you don't die on your own, you can usually be rescued."
The captain nodded.
"Then my life is in your hands."
Abola said.
"Shouldn't it be in the hands of the captain?"
Green asked.
"The captain can't control me. There are so many people here. Who knows if he will die one day if he doesn't pay me attention. But I owe you money. You can't just ignore me."
Abola shook his head.
"So you have been owing me money and not paying it back because of this idea."
Green sighed.
"That's not entirely true. How could I know that we would end up like this? It's just to be prepared. If you pay back the money, who knows if you will leave? I'm still looking for you."
Abola shook his head.
"In that case, let's see what happens."
Green sighed.
"Anyway, I believe you will protect me."
Abola said.
"I won't let you down. Try your best."
Green thought for a while and answered.
Everyone on the boat walked to the shore, planning to rest for a while and wait for rescue.
Anyway, they had reported when they came out, and now that they didn't go back on time, someone would definitely come looking for them. There are not just one or two people here, but many people, so someone would definitely come looking for them.
The captain repeatedly told the others his thoughts.
The others listened in silence.
They neither agreed nor disagreed.
They found some firewood and lit the fire to warm up a little. The crowd gathered around the fire and said nothing. It was so quiet that it seemed like they were preparing to hold a mysterious and ancient ceremony here.
It was getting darker, and a strong wind blew over. The flames crackled and seemed to be about to go out. The crowd jumped up all of a sudden, some ran away, and some shouted.
But they still didn't communicate with each other.
It was as if language had lost its effect at this moment.
The crowd dispersed, and the captain wanted to maintain order, but his voice was lost in the wind, and nothing reached the ears of others.
Green and Abola got together.
It was completely dark, and they didn't have a fire, so they didn't know where they were. They finally found a place to stay and rested before dawn.
When it was daytime, Abola found that he was sleeping next to a half-empty tree trunk. And on this tree hung a snake that was wider than a human and was resting.
Green was nowhere to be found, but there were wet and soft footprints on the ground.
It seemed that Green woke up early, so he left. Not sure if he had something to do or wanted to run away, Abola became scared.
He looked for people everywhere and found Green who had returned from a lake of blood.
"Where have you been? I was scared."
"I found something to eat. This is a fruit from some unknown source, but it's edible. It tastes similar to a coconut. If you hit it with a stone, it will open. You should be able to do it, right?"
"I can do it, but it's so hard."
"This place is exposed to the wind and sun. It would be strange if it was soft. If it was really soft, the surrounding seabirds would eat it all, and we wouldn't have a chance to eat it. It's normal for the shell to be hard. We don't eat the shells."
"Okay, is this all? What else did you find?"
"There's also some raw meat. I want to eat it all as soon as possible because it's obviously not the prey I killed. If the hunter of the killed prey finds out, he might chase us."
"Then we're done."
"Yes, so you have to eat, replenish your energy, and be ready for exercise at any time, otherwise you won't be able to escape if you are attacked."
"I see."
Abra nodded.
They had a simple breakfast.
"Did you see anyone else?"
"No."
"I didn't see them either. I don't know where they went. This place seems very big, but if those people are not with us, how can we wait for rescue?"
"Whether there is someone around doesn't affect whether there is someone to rescue."
"But if there is no one around, even if someone comes to rescue, what if it is not us who are rescued, should we leave or not? If we want to leave, I am afraid we will have to rob."
"If they don't rescue us today, there will always be someone to rescue us tomorrow. You just wait. Don't you still have me? What are you afraid of? Even if you die, I will still be by your side."
"I know, but once I think that they may still be alive, but I am going to die, I will not be willing to accept it."
"Then you should live. Anyway, there is no need to die now."
"Your temper is getting worse and worse."
"I am not."
After a while, in order to save time and effort, they chose a slightly safer place to rest.
When they woke up, it was dark again.
In this situation day after day, they waited for a long time, and finally a rescue ship came.
Green fell ill, and Abra was even more seriously ill.
They were sent to the hospital.
Abra recovered after treatment, but Green fell into a coma.
His body would not support him to continue living unless he changed his body.
But that was a bit difficult because Abra was always watching him.
"God bless him, if he can wake up, I am willing to pay anything. This time it is really my fault. If I hadn't taken him out, he wouldn't have become like this.
If he died, I should be the one to die.
If he died and I am alive, then I should die now.
I shouldn't be the one to live alone.
He was the one who found the food, he was the one who saw the boat, and he was the one who encouraged me to survive. He must not die in front of me, or because of me, absolutely not."
Abola murmured to himself.
Green had to wake up.
"I thought you were dead, it was really my fault."
Abola pulled him and cried beside him.
"I'm fine, am I not?"
Green comforted.
"It doesn't matter, you were motionless before and scared me to death."
Abola shook his head.
"Then I can't do anything, what do you want to do?"
Green asked.
"I want you to accompany me."
Abola said.
"Well, since you seem to be frightened this time."
Green said.
"By the way, there are some things you might want to know. Our boat really brought back a huge fish, and I have paid off all the money I owe you, and there is nothing left."
Abola said.
"You are so pitiful, so when are you going to use your pocket money?"
Green asked.
"Anytime. I won't treat you badly. We are friends for life and death. I really don't think this should be hidden from you."
Abola sighed.
Green rested for a while, and Abola took him out for a trip.
"I feel a little strange."
"I thought there was nothing dangerous here."
"That's not what I meant."
"Then what's your doubt?"
"Don't you think we go out too often?"
"I don't think so either."
"Do you want to change your mind?"
"If you want to stay at home, then go back now. I'll take you there."
"You're already out. Don't be so anxious. Take a walk and then go back."
"Okay then."
Abra said.
They stayed in a hotel temporarily. Abra suddenly felt that this place was familiar.
"I always feel like you seemed to have been a waiter here or something."
"I don't remember, maybe."
"It doesn't seem to be important, so forget it."
"I thought you would keep asking."
"That's not really necessary."
"That's good too."
Green said.
They stayed for another two days, but something happened suddenly. The hotel temporarily fired a waiter, and the waiter left the door with his luggage, head down and in a bad mood.
"What happened?"
Green asked.
"Yes, it is said that the man had a grudge against someone and was found out, so he was fired. This is a move made by the boss just in case."
The receptionist nodded.
"No reason?"
"Isn't it a reason to be afraid of being vengeful?"
"But this reason is not legitimate."
"Anyway, the money is legitimate, he took the money before leaving. Not a penny less."
"Then we should ask him a few more questions, maybe he knows how to get more money or let others make more money."
Green thought thoughtfully.
The two of them went to find the waiter.
"Can you tell us what you know? About how you were fired."
"Why should I tell you? Although I am a little sad, I can't tell everyone I meet. That will make people think I am a useless person."
"I can give you money."
"Okay."
The waiter nodded.
