Chapter 364, news of life and death

The captain came to the room where Qian Mancang was sleeping, and found that Qian Mancang still hadn't woken up, but his breathing began to become steady, and he could see the blood on his pale face when he was rescued, so he went back to sleep in peace.

The captain’s surname is Ke, and his name is Ke Laoliu. He ranked sixth among his brothers since he was a child, and he has five older brothers. His father never thought of giving him such an ugly name, but due to the situation, for the sake of this child’s future survival , so he took such a humble name as Ke Laoliu.

I heard that his family, from grandfather to father, was very well-to-do. He was a well-known landlord nearby. Before he was born, his family was ransacked because of fighting landlords. It was time to make people die, and the Ke family became poor. The older brothers in the family either died of exhaustion or starved to death later. He was the only remaining seedling, because he was too young. , was spared from being killed, even his mother was not spared after giving birth to him.

The family was gone, and the ancestral house was confiscated. Ke Laoliu was still very young at the time. In order to have something to eat, he had to steal food from the public land. When he came out, he was caught in the crop field, but in those days, stealing food from the public house was a felony.

Everyone saw that he was too young, only four or five years old, so they didn't send him to a prison for reform, but people said that he was a remnant of the old society, and he could never change his bad habits. After beating him up, he threw him under the broken bridge hole. He fell into a coma for a day and a night. He woke up because of the unbearable cold at night. Then he caught a cold again, and he was about to die in a daze.

Fortunately, a lonely fisherman sailing his boat passed under the bridge. The fisherman discovered him in time and took him home for treatment, saving his life.

The fisherman heard about his experience and thought he had no children, so he took him with him. From then on, Ke Lao Liu was adopted by this widowed boatman and grew up gradually.

Ke Lao Liu did not go to school and did not know how to read. At first, the fisherman didn’t want him to fish with him. For other livelihood skills, it is difficult to gain a foothold in society when going out, so I have to teach him all the fishing skills.

Finally, after the death of the old boatman, Ke Laoliu inherited the dilapidated fishing boat and became a fisherman himself. Ke Laoliu had witnessed too many tragedies, and he knew that his inner grief was too strong and he was no longer able to maintain the integrity of a family. Happiness, he didn't want to harm other girls for the rest of his life, and finally chose the fate of being alone all his life. Now he is in his 60s and still lives alone.

Ke Laoliu, who grew up in adversity, is a rough person, he doesn't care much, he believes that everything is simple, Qian Mancang sleeps in his single bed, so he temporarily spread a blanket on the floor of the outhouse as a bed, kindly The captain was worried, and went in and out to see Qian Mancang several times, and found that he was unconscious every time.

The captain had just added some boiling water to the kettle when he heard something moving inside the house. He quickly put down the kettle. When he rushed in, he found Qian Mancang with his eyes closed, breathing rapidly, and his hands waving randomly in the air, like a drowning man grabbing something. It was a life-saving thing, and it seemed like she was trying to hold someone back to prevent her from leaving.

"Hey, poor kid, he must have had another nightmare." The captain took out a towel to help Qian Mancang wipe the cold sweat caused by the nightmare. Before he finished wiping off, Qian Mancang grabbed his hand. The captain allowed Qian Mancang to catch him. Holding his hand, Qian Mancang's mood slowly stabilized, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his breathing gradually eased.

Only then did the captain begin to wipe the unfinished sweat on Qian Mancang's forehead.

"Ah" Qian Mancang slowly opened his eyes, followed by a cough. When the cough was over, he saw clearly that the captain was taking care of him. He wanted to sit up and thank him, but he lost his strength when he was halfway up, and fell back on the bed. bed.

The captain hurriedly pressed Qian Mancang's body, and said, "You haven't eaten for a long time. It's normal for your body to have no strength. Just lie down and don't move. I'll cook you a bowl of porridge."

Qian Mancang shook his head, grabbed the captain's hand, and said, "Thank you for saving me, but I don't have the appetite to eat now, can you tell me if anyone has been found?" He is most concerned about Liu Sisi's whereabouts. Without asking about the situation, he was not in the mood to do anything.

The captain was in a dilemma and didn't know what to say. He had asked his friends who had been sailing together all year round to help find someone. However, after searching for a day, he found nothing but a dark green woman's coat from the river.

The people who ran the boat knew that, according to this situation, even if they found someone, they would have drowned long ago. What's more, if no one was found, the only possibility is that the body was washed away by the river. Each of them was very sad, although they didn't want to say it out. , but everyone knew in their hearts that when it got dark in the end, everyone had to disperse, and there was no need to search any further.

Seeing the captain's expression, Qian Mancang's heart sank, but he still refused to give up and asked: "Is she not dead? Did she not find anyone? It must be. She must have been washed downstream by the river. I'm going to find her in person, and I will definitely find her whereabouts." Qian Mancang stood up from the bed with his persistence, although his body was a little shaky and he couldn't stand steadily.

The captain couldn't bear it and took out the dark green coat and asked: "Is this the coat she is wearing?" He stared at Qian Mancang closely.

Qian Mancang was excited when he saw the coat, grabbed it over and took a closer look, and said eagerly, "Yes, it's the clothes she was wearing that morning. So you found it, so take me to see her." He said to pull it off. The captain showed him the way to see Liu Sisi.

The captain confirmed the owner of this dress, so Liu Sisi should be in danger, he no longer hesitated, and told the truth, "The only thing we found was this dress. According to our judgment, Liu Sisi has a good chance of surviving. almost none."

Qian Mancang's mind suddenly went blank, and his vision went dark. It was the captain who held him up so that he didn't fall to the ground. He only heard Qian Mancang's mouth say: "No way, she can't die, she won't die, she She promised me that we would do many, many things together, and she would not leave me so cruelly."

It is almost certain that Liu Sisi has gone to another world, and the last ray of hope in Qian Mancang's heart is also slowly collapsing. Qian Mancang, whose heart is devastated, can't stand it any longer. There is a surge of heat in his chest, and Qian Mancang spurts a big mouthful of blood , The whole person fainted.
