Red Red

In the afternoon of late autumn, there are fewer cicadas, but more refreshing autumn wind.

There is a huge rock on the west side of the island.That rock was protruding from the ground in the distant past. After several years of wind and rain, flying sand and rocks, the surrounding area of ​​that rock was buried by sand, leaving only a smooth rock surface.In this way, it seems that the rock itself is embedded in the soil.

Because it is in the west, standing on the rock and looking over at a glance, you can have a panoramic view of the vast sea and the red sun, which is very beautiful.

So that place conveniently became the gathering place for Jiang Weidong and his cronies.They often fight barefoot on the rocks, playing games that people of their age play.

On this day, he was wrestling with Er Lai lying on the ground side by side, and the winner would earn a candy from the other party.It happened that Shen Ju'an was also there, sitting on the sidelines and supporting Jiang Weidong, and all the candy won went into his pocket.

I saw that Jiang Weidong's hands were bursting with blue veins, his face was flushed, but he still had to put on an expression of "no effort".Both parties put all their strength on their arms and gritted their teeth. For the sake of dignity, sugar, and the title of King of Kids, they would rather break their hands than lose...

It can be seen that Jiang Weidong did not eat so much food for nothing, he won several rounds in a row, although it was a bit difficult to win, but at least Shen Juan received a lot of candies.

No, Er Lei let out a long sigh of "ah", and Jiang Weidong won again.

He said with joy on his face: "Come, come, these are all mine." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took all the three candies left beside Er Lai.

Although Er Lai was a little unconvinced, but compared to his strength, he was indeed not Jiang Weidong's opponent.Even if I go back and eat two chicken legs, that's not the case.

Jiang Weidong proudly peeled off a piece of candy and handed it to Shen Juan's mouth, saying: "Try it, what does this taste like."

Shen Juan leaned over and put it in his mouth, a strong sweetness spread from the tip of his tongue.He chewed the candy and said, "Orange!"

Just as he was speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Shen Ju'an~"

He turned his head to look, and found that it was Er Lei's younger brother San Lei, who was striding towards this side.

Shen Juan asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

San Lai half-bent, put his hands on his knees and gasped for a while, then raised his head and said, "I saw... your mother was escorted onto the boat."

"what?"

"It's right there." San Lai turned around and pointed towards the pier, only to see a small boat sailing slowly by the pier under the sun.

San Lai said: "The superiors are arresting people to do coolies on Heishan Island. All they do is carry stones and sandbags. Many people died of exhaustion on the island because they couldn't carry such heavy things."

Jiang Weidong asked: "Is everything you said true?"

"It's absolutely true, I saw his mother being brought onto the boat with my own eyes." San Lai cast a glance at Shen Ju'an, and said it very seriously, without the slightest meaning of joking.

Shen Juan became anxious when he heard this, and his face became flustered.Zhang Xian was born in a wealthy family, so how could he have the strength to do such heavy work. Originally, pressing noodles in a flour mill was already the limit.If she was asked to carry rocks and sandbags, then for her, she might as well die.

Jiang Weidong still looked in the direction of the pier in disbelief, but he did see a slowly moving boat on the orange sea.In a blink of an eye, he saw Shen Ju'an's extremely anxious expression again, his heart softened, and he comforted him: "Don't worry, let's go over there and have a look."

After finishing speaking, he stood up, patted Shen Juan on the shoulder, motioned him to follow him, and then ran towards the pier.I didn't even bother to ask for the sugar in the bag, so I scattered it all over the floor.

After they ran far away, Er Lai picked up the candy on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth, and asked San Lai, "You're not playing tricks on them, are you?"

San Lai was also anxious when he heard it, and quickly retorted: "What I said is true. I saw it with my own eyes, and I am absolutely not talking nonsense. If I deceive them, what good will I do? It's not like I can't afford it." Walk."

Er Lai believed these words, with Jiang Weidong around, they dared not provoke someone who would dare to provoke Jiang Weidong.

After the two ran to the pier, they stood on the concrete slab and stared into the distance.The boat had already sailed a long way, plus it was heading west, the sun was pouring down on the entire sea, it was extremely dazzling, and it was hard to see clearly.

Shen Ju'an's heart sank, and he muttered: "My mother really left..."

After finishing speaking, he squatted down, panting heavily, and relieved his complicated mood.

Jiang Weidong also helped him with ideas in his mind.If he went back like this now, Shen Ju'an's life would definitely be messed up. He had finally escaped from the kidnapping of the bourgeoisie. He must not lose his only relative in this world at this time.

Therefore, Jiang Weidong could understand the hideousness in his heart at the moment.

But seeing Shen Juan's flustered appearance, he lowered his eyes helplessly.Suddenly he heard the horn of a cruise ship in the distance, he had a flash of inspiration, he kicked Shen Juan lightly with his foot, and said: "I figured it out, let's go to Heishan Island by boat, and bring your mother back from there."

Shen Ju'an still raised his head dejectedly: "But, where are we going to take the boat?!"

"Of course it's the pier. You wait for me here for a while, and I'll get two tickets."

Afterwards, Jiang Weidong trotted towards the ticket office at the pier.He happened to have a few cents left on him.

But when buying the ticket, the conductor told him that the money was only enough to buy one and a half tickets, so ah, [-] cents less.Jiang Weidong begged him to be accommodating because of the urgency of the situation, and even took out the candy from his pocket and handed it to the conductor.Unexpectedly, the conductor still didn't buy it after eating the candy.Jiang Weidong couldn't bear it, so he had to pull out his family members as a sailing order, but the conductor slapped the table and said: "Even if you are the son of Commander Jiang, you have to follow the rules, and a dime is not a penny. How can I say less is less."

It didn't work anyway, so Jiang Weidong had no choice but to use a bitter trick to tell the man the fabricated truth in tears; he said that Shen Ju'an was very pitiful, his father died of illness since he was a child, leaving the mother and son to depend on each other, and they were often bullied by those bullies, so there was nothing to do. They fled to the island to survive.But who knows that the god of heaven is not good, and he insisted on labeling their family as a bourgeoisie, so he did rough work on Heishan Island where his mother was arrested.

"Oh, you don't know, his mother also got rid of the root cause of the disease, and she died soon, so I thought about going out to see her. This meeting may be the last time. You also have a mother, this kind of emotion You should understand..."

After Jiang Weidong finished speaking, he sighed again!

Unexpectedly, this trick really worked.The conductor's tough mentality just now was suddenly moved, so he helped them pay the dime out of his own pocket.

Jiang Weidong was overjoyed and waved to Shen Juan, gesturing for him to come over.

The conductor gave him two tickets and reminded: "This is the last boat to Heishan Island today. The boat will stop here in an hour. Don't miss it."

"Okay, thank you, uncle!"

Jiang Weidong smiled triumphantly at him.

Heishan Island is not far from Songshan Island. It is a neighboring island. When the fog is not strong at noon, you can still see it from the pier.But it is a completely undeveloped desert island, so there will be no passenger ships going there.Since the government wanted to develop the island for the past year, it mobilized a large number of workers to renovate the island.There are three batches of workers' unloading ships passing by every day, so if you want to go to the island, you have to take the unloading ship.

Jiang Weidong and Shen Juan waited at the pier for a long time, and finally saw a work ship passing by after unloading.They waved quickly, signaling the boat to come.

Under the call of the two, the boat finally docked.

So I hurriedly checked the ticket and boarded the ship, found an empty deck and stood there, quietly waiting for the ship to leave.

After the ship started slowly, the waves beat against the outside of the cabin wave after wave.Standing on the deck, the two of them felt a little untenable.After driving for a while, it finally stabilized and I can move forward normally.

Jiang Weidong leaned on the railing, and the sea breeze blew past. He watched Songshan Island receding a little bit, but he was a little pleasantly surprised.

He was born on the island and has not left by boat for more than ten years.This will see the whole picture of Songshan Island, and I feel an indescribable feeling in my heart.

Shen Ju'an didn't feel much, but when he thought about the feeling of taking a boat, he felt extremely uncomfortable.He will never forget the time he and his mother fled to Songshan Island, surrounded by the disgusting smell of the sea.

Less than 10 minutes after the boat sailed, Heishan Island stood in front of us.

After docking, the workers first went to the island and moved the big logs from the boat.

The two of them hurriedly jumped over the cargo and disembarked while changing jobs.

As expected, Montenegro Island was barren.Not to mention houses, even a decent pier has not yet been built.There are large raised rocks and cluttered trees everywhere.Looking from a distance, there are indeed several figures in blue overalls busy.

Jiang Weidong winked at Shen Juan: "Go, go and have a look."

So the two trotted towards those figures, but because there were gravel and bricks everywhere, even if they wanted to run fast, they couldn't run.

When I got there, I found out that those people were really carrying sandbags and big logs, and some were moving stones together.But looking at them one by one, it seems that they are all men, and there are no women with long hair at all.

Shen Juan glanced at each figure hastily, counted all of them, there was indeed no mother inside.

Jiang Weidong said: "If not, let's go over and ask."

"it is good!"

Shen Ju'an nodded, before Jiang Weidong could lead the way, he ran over first, it seemed that he was really in a hurry.

Waiting in front of an uncle, Jiang Weidong asked: "Hey, uncle, do you have a person named Zhang Xian?"

"Zhang Xian? What Zhang what Xian?"

The uncle was carrying a large stone brick in his hand, sweating all over his face, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Long bow Zhang, Xian... Demure Xian!"

"What Xian? We don't have anyone with that name."

The uncle hurriedly walked away, the big stone brick in his hand was really laborious.

Seeing that Shen Juan was a little disappointed, Jiang Weidong said again: "Why don't we go over there and ask again."

He pointed to another direction, where there was still a group of people digging on the ground, and he didn't know what kind of big project they were doing.

So the two ran over again.This time, one of the workers wearing a hat saw two children running over excitedly, stood up and asked without knowing why, "Hey, what family are you children from? Why did you come here to play?"

Jiang Weidong hurriedly said: "We are here to find someone, do you know a person named Zhang Xian? She is a pretty girl." He pointed at Shen Ju'an in a blink of an eye, "It's his mother."

"Zhang Xian? I don't know, we don't seem to have such a person here." The worker shook his head, thought for a while and said, "You can go to the east coast to have a look, and some workers have been assigned there." direction.

The two thanked each other repeatedly, turned around and ran away in a hurry.
