Chapter 22 Short Circuits and Trips

After Shen Dong said this, he stared at Hong Jie, hoping to see how he would react.

To be honest, since Cao Mu's memory is not reliable, he has no idea whether the five or six years can be used as evidence for Hong Jie's seven or eight years. perhaps.

But at least one thing is suspicious, that is, Hong Jie was not surprised at all when he saw Yu Xiaojia's half-man, half-fish photo. Before that, Shen Dong had been with Hong Jie and Cao Mu, who lived in a half-water cave on the sea all year round. I never thought it was strange, and I felt very strange. Although he attributed this to Hong Jie's not being very smart at the time, but now that I think about it, how can a person who can chase them in a plane have such a bad brain?

Hong Jie didn't speak, still leaning against the table, the expression on his face didn't change, Shen Dong waited for a few seconds: "Speak."

"What?" Hong Jie looked at him blankly.

"Don't pretend!" Shen Dong roared and stood up.

"I don't know anything," Hong Jie glared at him, "Do you know what the most basic quality is for a captain!"

"It's... what?" Shen Dong frowned.

"Don't panic everywhere!" Hong Jie waved his hand, "I have never met Cao Xiaoyu's sister, and I don't know that he has a sister. He has always been alone, but!"

Hong Jie's voice was loud, and Shen Dong took a step back to protect his eardrums.

"But it's strange that he has a sister. He should also have parents, grandparents." Hong Jie pointed to Cao Mu and said.

"I don't." Cao Mu replied, still staring at the photo.

"Impossible," Hong Jie denied it for him without thinking, and continued to turn his head to look at Shen Dong, "I won't be surprised..."

"What about the tail?" Shen Dong clicked on the silver tail in the photo.

"Look at my mouth shape," Hong Jie pointed to his mouth, "P, S, do you understand? P, S, very high-end, if you want to give me a naked photo, I can also make your tail .”

Shen Dong folded his arms and smiled, but didn't speak.

If Hong Jie's reaction is understood according to the way of thinking of neuropathy, there is no problem, and if it is understood according to normal thinking, it is not a big problem. If Hong Jie's memory of grabbing Cao Mu is not good, and his memory is wrong five or six years ago, Shen Dong can be sure that he will definitely have it. Question, but he didn't, he only emphasized that Cao Mu was alone when he met Cao Mu, but let Shen Dong draw the conclusion that "Cao Mu made a mistake".

If Hong Jie is not a fool, then he is very smart.

"Shall we go? The day after tomorrow?" Cao Mu was not very interested in their conversation, and kept staring at the photo. "Can we go now? I want to see my sister."

Shen Dong remained silent. It could be seen that Cao Mu had a special feeling for the person in the photo. From the photo, he never looked away. It was the first time Shen Dong saw Cao Mu focus on something. For such a long time, no matter whether this person is Yu Xiaojia or not, it must be related to Yu Xiaojia.

But he didn't make a sound. Although Cao Mu was asking him, he wanted to wait for Hong Jie to speak, whether to go or not, he wanted to hear Hong Jie's reason.

"No." Hong Jie said.

"I didn't ask you," Cao Mu replied, and finally turned his head to look at Shen Dong, "When are you going?"

"Let me tell you, Cao Xiaoyu," Hong Jie lay down in front of Cao Mu, "this is a dummy, where are you going?"

"dummy?"

"Are you a fish? Is your sister a fish? Is this your sister?"

"It's my sister," Cao Mu was sure, "but my sister doesn't have a tail."

"Then it's not your sister, don't go." Hong Jie patted the table.

"I didn't ask you to go, why do you keep interrupting?" Cao Mu stood up a little unhappy, and walked to Shen Dong with the photo, "Go?"

Theoretically, Shen Dong felt that he couldn't go. When they arrived here, they didn't tell anyone, but not only did Hong Jie follow him inexplicably with suspicion, but he also met Qin Yu, an even more inexplicable person. It was delivered, but no matter how I thought about it, I couldn’t go.

but……

The anticipation on Cao Mu's face and the half eager and half firm eyes made Shen Dong feel that if he didn't go, Cao Mu would not agree, and he might go by himself regardless.

"We...don't go yet." Shen Dong gritted his teeth and replied, not daring to look at Cao Mu's face.

"Why?" Cao Mu looked at him in disbelief, his voice trembling.

"I'll think about it." Shen Dong glanced at Hong Jie and sat back on the sofa.

"Aren't we just here to find my sister?" Cao Mu couldn't turn his head around. He wanted to find his sister, and Shen Dong was willing to accompany him, willing to accompany him to find her. He always felt that Shen Dong could unconditionally believe in and Rely on, but now my sister is within reach, but Shen Dong doesn't go.

"This matter, yes, there is a problem," Shen Dong was sweating a little, he didn't know how to explain it to Cao Mu, Cao Mu didn't understand so many twists and turns, he didn't have a dark mind, and he couldn't understand Others will have, "We..."

"I want to find my sister, but I can't find my grandfather, so it would be nice if I could find my sister," Cao Mu squatted beside Shen Dong, pleading, "Don't you want to go, then tell me how to get there, I will Shall we go?"

"Ah—" Shen Dong held his head and closed his eyes, what to do!

"You can't go!" Hong Jie said, "Cao Xiaoyu, you don't understand, so you can't go."

"Why can't I go! I thought I couldn't find it, but now that I have found it, why can't I go!" Cao Mu shouted, "You all have families, why can't I have them!"

"This may not be your sister!" Hong Jie also shouted, "You little bad memory, do you still remember what your sister is like!"

"I remember!" Cao Mu continued to shout, "I knew it was my sister at a glance, and I could remember her scales when I saw her!"

"Where are the scales!" Hong Jie roared.

"No!" Cao Mu was stunned, "I mean, I don't need to look at her appearance, I can remember it's my sister just by looking at her scales!"

"Cao Xiaoyu, don't be so stubborn. You have only met a few people in your life. Do you know who you can trust and who you can't..." Hong Jie was a little anxious, but Cao Mu interrupted him before he finished speaking. .

"All I've met are good people! Both you and Shen Dong are good people!"

"...Of course we are good people." Hong Jie opened his mouth, but he didn't seem to know what to say.

"Go," Shen Dong lay on the sofa with his head in his arms and said, his voice was not loud but firm, "I'll go with you."

"Hello!" Hong Jie looked at Shen Dong, "Are you infected? Is that how it is?"

"Can't you go?" Shen Dong exchanged glances with him, "Cao Mu didn't...that's right, just, I just came to look for my sister, now I know where my sister is, so, why don't you go."

"You have a hemorrhoid in your head, right?" Hong Jie stared at him, "Listen to me, I really can't go."

"Why listen to you."

"I am the son of the sea! I know more than you."

"Keep pretending." Shen Dong smiled and closed his eyes again.

"Don't worry about whether I pretend or not," Hong Jie sat down on the floor next to the sofa, "I think your thinking is normal, more normal than Cao Xiaoyu, probably... more normal than me, even I know you can't That's it, why don't you understand?"

"Captain," Shen Dong opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, "You know, I have been on Pingshan Island for seven years."

"Well, I've lost my mind." Hong Jie sighed.

"I didn't know what I was doing for seven years, I slept every day, I was on duty, I counted the chickens with various corals..."

"Your chicken is too thin, it doesn't taste good without meat."

Shen Dong glanced at Hong Jie, it turned out that chickens are so missing, but he has no time to pursue this matter now, he continued to look at the ceiling: "I don't have any goals, and I don't have any ideals, to put it bluntly, I don't know Why am I alive, anyway, I just stay on the island until I can’t do anything anymore.”

"Maybe it's been too long, I can't remember clearly, I can't remember what happened between me and my parents, anyway, I was alone until I met Cao Mu," Shen Dong smiled, "This man He’s really like a savage, he doesn’t understand anything, he follows me around every day, and he can be seen everywhere, which is annoying, but after a long time, he finds it quite interesting.”

"I'm not a savage." Cao Mu sat at the table and looked at the photo.

"A person who is as clean as the sea told you, I think you are a good person, so I will tell you the secret. I have never felt that kind of feeling... being needed and trusted by others, so I decided to accompany him to find His sister," Shen Dong closed his eyes, and said slowly, "I know there is something wrong with this matter, but you have also seen that if you stop Cao Mu at this time, he will not be able to figure it out, I really... don't want to just be like this Pull him back to Pingshan Island, he may be fine, but he will remember for the rest of his life that he didn't find his sister, because I didn't help him, because I stopped him."

"He can't remember." Hong Jie whispered.

"But I remember, let me tell you this, captain," Shen Dong sat up from the sofa, "this may be the only thing I have done over the years to prove that I have not lived in vain, For Cao Mu, he wanted to find his sister. For me, my life was a bit interesting. Even if something happened, to put it bluntly, even if I died, it would be better than his whole life thinking about not finding my sister and my life being so barren. Be strong there."

The room was very quiet, Cao Mu was staring at the photo, Shen Dong was staring at the back of Hong Jie's head, Hong Jie was looking at the floor, and after a long time he turned around and said to Shen Dong: "How can you say so much in one breath? No stammer?"

"Hey..." Shen Dong was stunned, sighed and then fell back on the sofa, turned over and faced the back of the sofa, the words he said in seven years were not as much as he said just now, "Really, really, really, Really...really..."

"Stuttering is all here." Hong Jie laughed.

Without even thinking about it, Shen Dong slapped Hong Jie on the back.

Hong Jie was laughing, bit his tongue because of the slap, propped himself on the floor and coughed for a long time before shouting: "Go, go, you two are short-circuited and tripped anyway!"

"And you," Shen Dong turned his head and pointed at him, "I haven't, I haven't thought about it yet, I want to understand you, your business."

"Don't think about it, I would have done it long ago if I wanted to harm Cao Mu, my goal in life is to fly in the embrace of the sea!" Hong Jie stood up imposingly and waved his arms a few times.

"That's not true, it must be," Shen Dong narrowed his eyes, "You didn't harm him a long time ago, maybe it's just because he didn't come out to find his sister."

"Why are you so dark!"

"Because you're not telling the truth."

"Although I am a pirate, I have never harmed anyone!"

"Is it."

"But you also know my true identity, and only Dahai knows my secret!"

"Your real identity, what is your identity?" Shen Dong thought for a while, did Hong Jie mention his identity other than the captain?

"I said it," Hong Jie patted himself on the chest, "I am a man who belongs to the sea, and I am the son of the sea!"

"Fuck!" Shen Dong laughed angrily, stood up and went into the bathroom to wash his face.

Cao Mu has been holding that photo in his hand ever since it appeared outside the door. Except for the half hour of soaking in the bathtub, he never left Cao Mu.

For two nights and one day, except for Hong Jie who went to buy food a few times, Shen Dong and Cao Mu never left the house. Shen Dong was thinking about what might happen after he left, and Cao Mu was looking at the photos all the time.

Thinking about it carefully, Shen Dong began to be a little worried about the state of Cao Mu pinching the photo when he slept at night. He had never seen Cao Mu like this. Cao Mu said that he missed his grandfather very much, but he mentioned that the grandfather who lived with him day and night might die. When he finished, his tone was unexpectedly calm. Compared to the way he was staring at the photo now, Shen Dong always felt that something was wrong.

"Cao Mu." Shen Dong couldn't sleep well when he thought of this, he turned over and touched Cao Mu's arm.

"Huh?" Cao Mu quickly moved to his side and hugged him.

"Do you miss your sister very much?"

"I don't know," Cao Mu thought for a while, "but I really want to see her, very much."

"We'll go at dawn," Shen Dong said softly, "but we have to make an appointment first, we must listen to my words, and we must stay by my side, where I can see them."

"Yes." Cao Mu nodded.

"must."

"must."

Shen Dong basically kept his eyes open until dawn. He heard the sound of Cao Mu getting up, and then Hong Jie who was sleeping on the sofa getting up.

"I'm going to buy breakfast." Hong Jie whispered.

"Who are you?" Cao Mu also asked in a low voice.

"captain."

"Who is the captain?"

"It's a person who is about to be pissed off."

"Can not remember."

"Look." Hong Jie took a towel and tied it diagonally across his face, covering one eye.

"What's so interesting about this?" Cao Mu looked at him.

"Hey!"

"Keep down, Shen Dong is still sleeping."

"I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to buy food."

"Go, I'll go find my sister."

"How do you remember?"

"Why don't you remember?"

"Then why don't you remember me?"

"who are you?"

"Captain!"

"Who is the captain?"

"Hong Jie!" Shen Dong finally couldn't take it anymore, and patted the bed board, "Hurry up and buy it!"

"You woke up Shen Dong!" Cao Mu shouted.

"It's not all because you don't remember who I am!" Hong Jie opened the door angrily and went out.

Cao Mu ignored him, jumped onto the bed and hugged Shen Dong and kissed him: "Shall we go now?"

"Well, let's go after eating." Shen Dong felt weak for a while, turned his head and kissed Cao Mu's face.

"Where's the captain?" Cao Mu happily jumped out of bed, looked around the room, and asked.

"... Made you run away in anger." Shen Dong sighed.

The address on the back of the photo was far away from where they lived. Shen Dong looked at the map, but there was no bus to get there, so he had to take a taxi.

"Are you going?" Shen Dong asked Hong Jie, still thinking about what to do if something unexpected happened.

"Go." Hong Jie replied simply.

"Help me keep an eye on Cao Mu," Shen Dong bit his lips, "I'll temporarily put you in the good guys."

"Don't worry, I haven't been a pirate for nothing all these years." Hong Jie patted his chest.

Shen Dong began to suspect that Hong Jie was really out of his mind.

Taxi drivers are no strangers to the addresses they provided, saying that there are many villas and private clubs there: "However, very few people take taxis there."

"Why?" Hong Jie asked after getting into the car.

"There are rich people, whoever takes a taxi." The driver smiled.

"You don't understand," Hong Jie clicked his tongue, "All the rich sail boats, and our boat stops at..."

"Drive." Shen Dong suppressed his urge to find something to gag Hong Jie.

When the car drove out of the city, there was a very desolate road, and Shen Dong felt more and more uncertain, but after a while, he began to see beautifully built single villas, which did not look like a unified development The ones built by the merchants are not all together.

Looking around, there are basically no people in sight, and occasionally one or two cars pass by and drive very fast.

Shen Dong doesn't know cars, he just thinks these cars look very high-end.

"It's here," the driver parked the car on the side of the road, "You don't know which one it is, so you can only get off here. Many places in front of you are private yards. It's very troublesome to drive in if you don't know the way. There is private security.”

"Okay." Shen Dong didn't say anything else, he gave the money and got out of the car.

After the taxi drove away, several people stood on the side of the road in a daze.

"Where is my sister?" Cao Mudong asked Shen Dong after looking around for a while.

"No, I don't know." Shen Dong frowned, the address was indeed unclear, only the name of the street was written, but the street is very long, and there are some buildings on both sides that don't know whether they are villas or clubs except in the distance. , There is not even a store, and I don’t know where to ask people.

Even if he could ask, he didn't know what to ask.

Ever see a mermaid?

After standing for a few minutes, Shen Dong saw a black car coming from the far side of the road, he was a little nervous, this car is different from other cars, there are no people on this road, other cars are like racing cars Open, but this one is coming slowly.

"Cao Mu, remember what I said?" Shen Dong stared at the car and held Cao Mu's hand.

"Well, stay where you can see and don't go anywhere." Cao Mu replied.

The car drove over slowly and stopped right in front of the three of them.

The window was covered with film, so I couldn't see what was going on inside, only a man in a shirt sitting in the driver's seat.

Shen Dong took a closer look at this person, it was not someone he had seen before.

"Nice car." Hong Jie looked at the car.

The driver opened the door and got out of the car, and bowed slightly to them: "Mr. Shen?"

"Yes." Shen Dong was taken aback before answering. It was the first time someone called him Mr. Shen, and he almost couldn't turn the corner.

"Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, please get in the car," the driver opened the back door, "Mr. Liang asked me to pick you up."

"Mr. Liang?" Shen Dong grabbed Hong Jie who lowered his head and was about to get into the car. Who is Mr. Liang?

"Yes, Mr. Liang, he is the one who invited you here," the driver bent over, "you will know about other things when you meet."

Shen Dong hesitated for a few seconds, then his heart sank, he lowered his head and got into the car, let's just do it, let's talk if something happens!
