Mysteries of the Earthsea

"Quickly come in and close the door." West said nervously as he entered the house.

Irina put down the empty plate in her hand, and asked her son, "Where have you been in these few days? Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you some more food?"

After turning the dim oil lamp to the maximum, West pulled the younger brother and sister who were weaving the net, and then took two fist-sized pieces of white bread in his arms and handed them to them.

"Eat, I bought it specially in a residential area on the island."

The two brothers and sisters did not take the white bread, but looked at their mother with concern.

Irina looked nervously at the delicate packaging of the white bread. "Is this expensive?"

West looked indifferent, "It's okay, one only needs 50 echoes. I bought it specially in the crown area. We can spend the money."

As he said, he took out a stack of echo banknotes and handed them to Elena.

Facing these banknotes, Jelena's face was not at all happy, her old face was full of anxiety.

"Did you steal something again? How many times have I said that, don't do anything that violates the law! What if you get caught by the police!"

West smiled and stuffed the paper money into his mother's hand. "Don't worry, I didn't steal other people's things."

"Where does the money come from?" Irina stared at her eldest son.

"I... I picked up a wallet today. It should be from the island's heart. There is a lot of money in it." West looked away with a guilty conscience.

"Don't lie to me, where did the money come from?" Irina's voice trembled slightly.

The two brothers and sisters next to each other looked at each other, silently put the white bread on the table, and continued to weave the fishing net.

In desperation, West can only tell the truth. "In fact, it's nothing. People from Sharks asked me for help. The money is their reward."

Jelena's bloodless lips trembled slightly. "Have you forgotten how Xiao Timi died? He also went to help. When he was sent back, half of his body was gone!"

Jelena’s eyes were extremely scared. Those gangs of people on the street, looking for them, the poor living in the port area, would only have a kind of favor to help.

That is to allow them to experiment with weird relics.

Many people who helped in the past walked over and lie down. This is a gambling with their lives. This kind of help is generally only done by red-eyed gamblers. God knows why his son is doing this kind of thing.

"Mother, it's okay, I'll do it this time, don't you think I'm back here? In the next period of time, I will have to travel far away, which will take several months, so I have to leave some money for my family. "

West came over, pulled up the younger siblings who were weaving the net, and put the bread on the table back into their hands.

"A few months? What are you going to do?" Irina's voice trembled

West knew that taking what he said would make his mother angry, but he still wanted to say it. "Recently, a cargo ship lacked a sailor. I want to go to sea as a crew member."

As if receiving some irritation, Jelena suddenly rushed to her elder son, and threw her left hand to his face. "Snapped!"

"Are you crazy!! You are going to die! Have you forgotten how your father disappeared? You are not allowed to go to sea!!"

Irina waved her hand again, but West grabbed it, and his voice became excited.

"Mother, isn't it just death? What is there to be afraid of? I will admit it when I die. What's the point of living in such a poor life!"

"No matter how poor you live, you will die! As long as you live, you will get better one day!"

"How is it going to get better? Yeongdo has been sunk for three years! I've been carrying bags for three years! I'm still a bag, and when my brother gets older, I will go with me to carry bags? Marry a baggage carrier? Our family has been struggling in the port area? Is this how you are getting better?"

"The day before yesterday I saw you picking up shark meat from other people's skins at the fish market. This kind of pee-smelling fish that even beggars hates is only eaten by our family. How can this be better?"

Facing her son's questioning, Jelena was speechless, she lowered her head and shed silent tears.

Looking at his sad mother, West continued in a low voice and said: "My father’s jewellery shop was still there, my younger brothers and sisters don’t remember, but I still remember that we can bathe in fresh water, and we can eat delicious food every day. , Living in the big house in the heart of the island, that's really getting better, instead of living like a mouse in the gutter like this."

There was silence in the room for a long time, and when the light from the oil lamp jumped, West put the echo banknote in his hand into his mother's arms.

"Don't worry, I will definitely let that good day come back again. I promise!" After he finished speaking, he ignored the shouts of his mother behind him, and rushed into the noisy street as quickly as possible.

After he turned his mother away, West took a breath and walked towards the two young people who were smoking in the distance.

"How's the discussion?"

West nodded firmly, "Well, I decided to get on the boat."

A young man with a diagonal scar hanging from the corner of his mouth, excitedly hammered his shoulder with his hand.

"You will be proud of this decision in the future~www.wuxiaspot.com~, begging on the shore are turtles who have no courage. Only those who live by the sea are the real men. Go, go to the bar. Today I will treat you.

West, with a smile on his face, put his companion's shoulders on him and walked forward. "Surely the captain will agree to my boarding? I have never been to sea before."

"Don't worry, you are just going to be a sailor, as long as you have long hands and feet, and I have a strong relationship with the sailor. He will definitely agree to send a few packs of cigarettes to the past."

As the three of them continued to walk forward, a black sheriff cut the road directly in front of them.

"It's really disappointing, what road are these black dogs blocking?" Scar youth looked impatient.

"Look over there, there seems to be someone coming over." West pointed to the dock next to him.

Bright searchlights shot through the darkness, and a huge and oppressive ship slowly moved towards the dock. "

"That is the Governor's Royal Giant."

It didn't take long for West to see several cars and drove quickly toward this side from the dock.

One of the car windows opened, and a beautiful face appeared in front of them and flashed past them. The beautiful face made the eyes of the men next to him straighten.

"Where's the jewel is so beautiful no matter how many times I see it."

"It's really her! It's Miss Margaret!"

"My sister is so beautiful."

Scar young man licked his lips with his tongue on his face, staring in his eyes. "If I can let her be my woman for one night, I'm willing to change my life."

"Hey! Brat! What did you just say! Roll over here!!" The nearest police officer raised the black baton in his hand angrily.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the three of them hurriedly drilled outside the crowd.
