It is not known whether the two went to the sea described by Hemingway.

However, it is barely considered a tourist attraction, but it has yet to be developed. The local government has erected a sign here to guide tourists, although there are very few visitors.

A small piece of beach, from the east end to the west end, two or 10 minutes walk is enough.

There are a lot of local people here, gathering in twos and threes, some are playing local musical instruments, some are leaning on palms and chatting. They are foreigners, and they are new here, so they will inevitably attract some attention.

After the car accident, Xu Mo hated people staring at him the most. At this moment, Hologram didn't notice those looking at him, and stared straight ahead at a certain place in front of him. He didn't want anyone to push him, and the wheelchair went straight forward.

Shen Lingfeng followed not far away, and when he turned his head, seeing Tokugawa's worried face, he suddenly noticed something unusual, so he asked him, "Xu Mo has been here?"

He doesn't look right.

Tokugawa shook his head: "No, Mr. Shen, this is also the first time for the young master to come here."

The sandy beach is connected to the mud, and there are restaurants and other merchants on the spacious stone slope. There is a stone statue under the palm tree, which is quite simple and not carefully carved. It is a young and beautiful woman.

She has straight waist-length hair, faces the sea, and raises her arms high, as if greeting travelers returning from a long journey, but she describes it as calm, and her eyes seem to be a little sad, and she only looks straight at a certain part of the sea, As if waiting for something.

At her feet, a large bouquet of snow-white ginger flowers was placed, and the sea breeze blew, and the flowers swayed.

Xu Mo stopped in front of the statue, stretched out his hand, trembling slightly, touched the base of the statue with his fingertips, and retracted it suddenly, as if being burned, he looked up at her, dazed.

Shen Lingfeng frowned, and he could see that this stone statue meant a lot to Xu Mo.He walked around the stone statue and found a text carving under the pedestal on the side facing the sea: Shaw, followed by the birth and death years, and the death has been 24 years.

The official language of Cuba is Spanish, and Shen Lingfeng recognized that it should be a name. Judging from the appearance of the statue, it is Asian. Maybe Shaw is her last name, Xiao, or Xiao?

The black uncle with a big belly took a cigar in his mouth and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with them. The uncle spoke Spanish, Shen Lingfeng and Tokugawa looked at each other, and Xu Mo looked back at him.

The uncle looked at the three of them in a daze, scratched the back of his head, pinched the cigar in his mouth with his index finger and middle finger, and changed his English with a smile: "Hello, youguystourists? Chinese?"

Shen Lingfeng has often gone abroad for exchanges, and he is proficient in English, and soon started chatting with the uncle.

He was concerned about Xu Mo's abnormal performance, so he anxiously asked the uncle about the origin of this statue.

The uncle was straight-hearted and didn't play sloppy with him, and replied with a smile: "She is Chinese, we call her Xiao, she and her husband came here and lived here for more than two years."

"What happened later?" Shen Lingfeng asked, the uncle turned his head to look at the stone statue, feeling disappointed: "Dead. Her husband was taken away by the waves. That year, on Christmas night, she walked into this sea, and we never saw her again. "

She left here and returned to the ocean like a wave. The uncle said very romantically: "She and her husband are very affectionate, both of them are very friendly, and they are both Asian. She is here as a teacher for the children, teaching them to draw. She also arranges flowers."

"Flower arrangement?"

"Yes!" The uncle gestured with both hands: "She is very beautiful, just like those flowers."

Shen Lingfeng lowered his eyes and saw Xu Mo's lonely figure. He was sitting next to the stone statue in a wheelchair, his upper body leaned forward, and his fingertips rubbed the lettering under the base of the stone statue.

"After she left, the children missed her very much. She was our friend. They made a stone statue for her," said the uncle.

Shen Lingfeng nodded.

"Not long after her husband died, their child was born."

"child?"

"Yes, but she sent him away, and I don't know where to send him." The uncle sighed: "We persuaded her, but she was too sad. Maybe it would be a good thing for her to go to the depths of the sea to reunite with her husband." s Choice."

"Many years have passed." The uncle smoked a cigar, and the light blue smoke was lingering.

Someone beat the leather drum on the beach, young people twisted and danced accordingly, someone whistled loudly, seabirds flapped their wings and flew back, bringing back a cloud in the sky, and there was a low roar from the depths of the sea.

Shen Lingfeng stared at the beach under his feet, lost in thought, when Tokugawa's shout interrupted him: "Master——"

He looked up suddenly, only to see the black uncle's expression changed: "What does he want to do?!"

Shen Lingfeng's eyelids jumped wildly, and looking back, Xu Mo's wheelchair rushed straight into the sea.

For a moment, maybe just a moment, Shen Lingfeng felt that his heart seemed to stop beating, and his eyes were full of the picture of Xu Mo submerged in the sea. Tokugawa scrambled and rushed over, but he just walked away for a while.

Immediately, there was overwhelming fear, as if the entire dark sky was pressed down, Shen Lingfeng's body reacted before his brain, he shot out like an arrow, even before Tokugawa, threw himself into the sea, and grabbed Xu Mo who was submerged in the deep sea .

He picked up Xu Mo, their bodies submerged in the dark sea water, only their heads floated out of the water, Shen Lingfeng snarled at him with red eyes: "Are you sick?! Are you crazy?! Are you fucking crazy? !—”

Xu Mo was stunned, with a dazed face, blinked his eyes, and saw clearly that it was Shen Lingfeng, with water droplets dripping down his long eyelashes.

"I don't want to die." Xu Mo opened his mouth, and Shen Lingfeng picked him up and climbed up the bank.

Tokugawa stretched out his hand to Xu Mo: "Master, please don't do this!"

Both fell to the beach.

Shen Lingfeng's heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest, and he lay there on his back. He didn't recover for a long time, and unconsciously clenched Xu Mo's wrist tightly, leaving bright red five finger marks.

Xu Mo whispered, "It hurts." Shen Lingfeng turned his head blankly and stared at him: "Do you want to die?"

Xu Mo was taken aback, then shook his head: "I don't want to."

Shen Lingfeng's eye circles were all red, and he crawled over and hugged him. The two of them were drenched from top to bottom, water droplets rolled into the beach, and seagulls were singing in their ears.

If something happened to Xu Mo, if Xu Mo was really absent, if Xu Mo really disappeared from his world——

Shen Lingfeng didn't dare to think about it, so he stopped thinking about it.

Xu Mo hugged him back, put his forehead against his shoulder, and a muffled voice came from his arms: "I just want to know what she was thinking when she left the child and walked into this sea. "

Did she ever have nostalgia?Have you ever regretted it?Have you ever thought about throwing the child to Chu Wanjun, what will the child face in the future?

Does she know?

She knows nothing.

"Go back." Instead, Xu Mo comforted Shen Lingfeng softly: "Let's go back."

Shen Lingfeng raised the corner of his mouth, unable to smile, but nodded: "Okay, go back."

Xu Mo wanted to eat fruit salad, Shen Lingfeng got two big plates full, and Xu Mo ate them all by himself.

Shen Lingfeng watched from the side, and Xu Mo said while eating: "At the beginning of next month, grandpa's birthday is coming to Japan, you can go with me."

"Me?" Shen Lingfeng suddenly thought: "Mingxuan is also in Japan."

Xu Mo was swallowing a mango, choked up when he heard the words, suddenly couldn't swallow, spit out the fruit he was chewing happily, lowered his head, after a while, raised his face, showed the same smile as before, and nodded heavily: "right!"

"And then?" Shen Lingfeng asked.Can he see a lively Jiang Mingxuan?What about Xu Mo?Is this the end of their marriage?

Xu Mo pushed away the fruit plate, pushed the wheelchair to the side of the bed, and turned his back to him, with his head drooping, probably playing with his mobile phone.

"Xu Mo." Shen Lingfeng called him.

Xu Mo didn't raise his head: "Huh?"

"You really...will divorce me...?"

Xu Mo automatically understood that Shen Lingfeng was worried that what he said wouldn't count, so he pinched his sleeves and wiped the phone screen, and replied casually: "Yes, I've had enough fun, you and Jiang Mingxuan can go there in the future."

"And you, what do you do?"

"Me?" Xu Mo smiled: "Go on and be my young master." Then it's a matter of course.

Shen Lingfeng didn't know when he came behind him: "Xu Mo."

Xu Mo kept wiping the screen of the phone. It was already very clean, and the light could tell others, but he was obsessed with wiping it again and again.

"What if..." If you don't get a divorce, how about you live like this?Are you still willing?

"Hey, don't ask anymore, I promise to divorce you, and Tokugawa will testify, okay?" Xu Mo didn't look up, rubbed the corner of the phone screen vigorously, and muttered in a low voice: "You live your life, I live mine Yes, it’s all agreed. You take your sunny path, and I’ll cross my single-plank bridge.”

"What about friends? Can we still do it?" Shen Lingfeng remembered that when he asked Xu Mo for the first time, Xu Mo firmly denied it: "No, we can't be friends."

Xu Mo paused for a while, but didn't answer him. His head was lowered, and even his shoulders were shrunk. It seemed that the snail was looking for his shell again.

Shen Lingfeng was in a hurry: "Xu Mo!"

"...Let's talk about it." Xu Mo murmured: "Let's talk about it, Shen Lingfeng... Besides, we haven't known each other for long, and we don't have a good relationship. After all, I am not as good as Jiang Mingxuan. You have known each other for so many years."

"Ordinary friends, it's not bad at all." Xu Mo turned on his phone and looked through Moments.

The phone rang suddenly, and the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number in China.

Xu Mo frowned, pressed answer, but did not press speakerphone, but the other party's roar was still loud enough to be heard throughout the room.

"Xu Mo!" It was Xu Yunze: "Xu Mo, hurry up and come back to me! You are not allowed to go to Japan next month, you are not allowed to go!" He roared hoarsely: "Did you hear that?!"

Xu Mo hung up with a snap, threw the phone away, took a deep breath, and his breathing trembled.

"Xu Yunze?" Shen Lingfeng frowned.

The phone rang again, this time from an unfamiliar number in China.Xu Mo turned off the phone without thinking about it.

"Shen Lingfeng."

"Ok?"

Xu Mo stretched out his hand to pull his index finger, and the fingertips hooked gently, as if getting an electric shock. The shuddering sensation came to his mind from the contact of the skin, and Shen Lingfeng suddenly held him: "Xu Mo."

"Didn't you say to pretend that we are real?" Xu Mo raised his eyes and looked at him with a smile, his eyes shone brightly: "Then you do it with me, okay?"

Shen Lingfeng let go of him, turned around and went to the French window, with his back to Xu Mo.

Xu Mo lowered his eyes, thought for a while, picked up the phone, and pushed the wheelchair towards the door.

Shen Lingfeng heard the movement and turned to look at him: "Where are you going?"

"I, I sleep next door." Xu Mo smiled bitterly: "You don't want it, but I... Doctor Shen, don't torture me, okay?"

"...You have to answer my question first."

Xu Mo's back froze: "What?"

The scene during the day still left him with lingering fears, Shen Lingfeng said in a deep voice, "You won't die, will you?"

Xu Mo was at a loss, feeling baffled, and smiled: "How could I die? The scourge will last for thousands of years."

In response to the sound of hurried footsteps, Shen Lingfeng appeared behind him and hugged Xu Mo horizontally.

The four eyes met, and the clarity crashed into the darkness.

"Take a bath first." Shen Lingfeng said, and then carried him into the bathroom.
