Count of Monte Cristo

When Lin Ke woke up, he was in a tent at the camp.He vaguely saw a figure moving in front of his eyes.

"Lin Ke, how do you feel?" Edmund asked.

"Dizzy, want to vomit."

"Want to drink water?" Lin Ke felt that Edmund helped him up and leaned on his shoulder, and a glass of water came to his lips. Lin Ke took a few sips, feeling much cooler and his throat was much more comfortable.

"Edmond, you..."

"I'm sorry," said Edmond, "you were injured and unconscious for three days. The Maiden has already set off for Livona. Because you are injured and unsuitable for sailing at sea, I will stay and take care of you. They will return to you in a week. Come back later and pick us up."

"Oh." Lin Ke wanted to ask what happened that day, but he didn't have any position.

Edmund probably didn't want to explain anything, and the two remained silent.

Lin Ke fell asleep again not long after.

Seeing Lin Ke's weak appearance, Edmund recalled what he said that day, and his expression was very complicated.

After a while, he sighed and rubbed his brows, looking tired.

God will always give you some unexpected tests, thought Edmund.

When Lin Ke woke up again, his body was much more comfortable. The wound on his knee was almost healed, and the waist injury was a bit troublesome. When he fell down, his waist was punctured, and a big hole appeared. Edmund used gauze to wrap the He wraps it up.Lin Ke could only sleep on his side, and whenever he touched it, he felt a sharp pain.Every time the dressing is changed, it is torture. Lin Ke is tearful, Edmond is sweating profusely, and he has to suffer from Lin Ke's call sign. Edmond is very helpless, "If you can be tough, treat me respect?"

Lin Ke was pitiful, "But, it hurts so much..." The few days of getting along with him had already dispelled Lin Ke's fear of Edmond that day, and the Count of Monte Cristo that Lin Ke knew was a man who hated as much as he wanted to repay his kindness. Charismatic man.He will not kill innocent people indiscriminately in his revenge. Lin Ke knew that he had traveled to a book and met the protagonist again. He felt that he had found the backbone.It can be regarded as letting go of the previous feeling of wandering and helplessness. After all, predicting some plots in advance can always give people a great sense of security. Following the protagonist to eat meat, his eyes rolled, and he felt that he had to find a way to reconcile with love. Demon made a good relationship and wanted to hang out with him.

Edmond didn't know about Lin Ke's inner child.Lin Ke turned sideways, his clothes rolled up, revealing his slender waist. His skin was fair and delicate, and the wound was red and swollen, which was shocking.Edmond dipped his fingers in the ointment and applied it to his wound bit by bit.Lin Ke would moan and yell in pain, but he was quite childish and immature after being injured.Edmund felt a little guilty towards him too. When Lin Ke asked him if he was looking for the treasure of Monte Cristo again, he was instantly shocked beyond words, and many thoughts flashed through him.He was murderous.He couldn't control the dark thoughts at that moment. He was afraid that the secret of his escape from the death row would be discovered. With a murderous intention, as long as the person in front of him dies, then...but this thought just passed by, and Edmond Rico abandoned this idea.

He even regretted having this idea to himself, and then heard Lin Ke's screams, his regret and self-blame drowned him out!So Edmond took care of Lin Ke more attentively.

On the fifth day, Lin Ke couldn't bear it anymore. He made a request. He wanted to take a bath. He didn't take a bath in the past few days when he was injured, but the weather was relatively hot these days.The wound was tightly packed, and Lin Ke felt a strange smell coming from his body. He made a request to Edmond.

Edmund was a bit embarrassed, and he was actually a clean freak, and he was enduring it these days, but Lin Ke's wound couldn't get wet, "Can I wipe it for you with a towel? Lin Ke, your wound can't touch water, You do not mind right?"

"It's fine if you don't bother you." Lin Ke quickly responded, he was afraid that Edmund would go back on his word.

"Don't move around, I'm going to fetch water." Edmund went out.

Lin Ke lay on the mattress and saw Edmond leaving the tent with his head turned sideways. This tent was twice the size of the tent they had set up before, and there were many daily necessities brought from the Maiden.Lin Ke didn't expect that it was Edmond who took care of his injured self. He was quite surprised, and secretly made up his mind not to reveal everything he knew.

Edmond worked seriously. He used hot water to soak the towel, and then handed the towel to Lin Ke.Lin Ke's hands were intact, and he scrubbed himself gently, but he couldn't do anything about his legs and back.Seeing his difficult appearance, Edmund took his towel silently, rolled up his trouser legs, pushed it all the way to the thigh, and then scrubbed it bit by bit. The warm towel was applied to the skin, It felt so comfortable, Lin Ke couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, "It's so comfortable."

Edmund glanced at him, and Lin Ke saw a smile in his eyes.He said carelessly again, "Friendly Mr. Edmond, can you rub my back too, it's so itchy."

Edmund frowned, and Lin Ke hurriedly said, "I will repay you in the future, really, you trust me!!"

Edmund had a half-smile, but did not respond to his words. He put the towel in his hand into hot water, wrung it dry, and untied Lin Ke's collar, revealing his pale back. Lin Ke was lying on his side with his back Grinning at him.Lin Ke's back was thin, white, and looked very delicate. Edmund didn't dare to use force, so he wiped it slowly with a towel.His back quickly turned red, so pink that it was a bit dazzling.The water vapor was dense, and the air was a little thin. Lin Ke was comfortably in a daze. From Edmond's line of sight, he could only see Lin Ke's black hair, delicate and pale profile, and rosy white. skin on the back.Edmund actually felt a little hot, the air was too stuffy here, he threw the towel into the water vigorously, and then covered Lin Ke with a blanket.

"Edmond, why did you stop, okay?" Linke turned his head and looked at Edmond in a daze. In the early morning fog, Edmond's eyes darkened, and then he looked away calmly, "It's all right, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"Oh." Lin Ke thought for a while and said, "As long as you don't take your medicine, you can take anything." Edmond even found a kind of herbal medicine on the small island of Monte Cristo, and said that it can treat trauma, every day Boil a pot and force Lin Ke to drink it.That herbal soup was a hundred times worse than the traditional Chinese medicine that Lin Ke's mother made for him during the senior high school entrance examination!Lin Ke even suspected that he had traveled not to the world of the Count of Monte Cristo but to the world of Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica!

"Drink it twice and you don't need to drink it. You look like you saw Satan. The medicine will make you recover faster. The captain will pick us up in a week. You don't want to waste everyone's time, right? You won’t be able to get the bonus this time. Jacob also said that you are really unlucky and doomed not to get rich.” Edmund laughed.

"You want to go back to the ship?" Didn't he already find the treasure? Why did he go back to the ship to be a sailor?Lin Ke knew that Edmond must have found the treasure of Monte Cristo. They had been on the island for five days, and Edmond was not around the camp at all during the day and morning.Every time he came back, his shoes were covered with mud, and his clothes were stained with some rock ash, and his eyebrows were stretched, showing that he seemed to have solved a problem that was pressing in his heart.

"The contract has not expired."

"That's right." Lin Ke understood that the contract between Edmund and Maid was half a month away.

"Are you still planning to go to Fabre?"

"Ok?"

"You have five months left on your contract, right?"

Lin Ke nodded. He signed a one-year contract with the captain. He has been on the Maiden for eight months. Except for the first month, he is a free labor force, and he is paid for the remaining seven months. of.He also saved a little money in the past two months, but it was still not enough to live on land.

"Don't you want to be a sailor?" Edmund asked, "Then what are your plans in the future?" It was not the first time he asked this question, but Lin Ke looked back every time in a different way.Edmund knew that he himself was not ready, and he was also confused about the future.

Lin Ke was frustrated, he wanted to ask, can I follow you?But he has no reason or excuse. "I...I don't know..." As he spoke, his mood also fell, and he stared at Edmund blankly, with hope that he couldn't detect in his eyes.

Edmund frowned tightly, and his resolute face was burning heavily. He pondered for a while, and asked solemnly: "If you don't mind, you can live with me." As soon as the words came out, both of them froze. up!Edmund didn't seem to expect that he would say such a thing, and his expression was a little surprised. Finally, he shrugged. Maybe this is the price that Father Faria gave him for the treasure?Maybe he had already expected that he would meet a little boy and take revenge with him.During the 14 years of his lonely prison life, he really needed a partner. Priest Faria was his instructor. The world is ugly and good.Then he can also be a person like Father Faria, and give all his knowledge to this young man. Perhaps this is the reward for Father Faria.

He continued: "Of course, you have to help me do something, and I hope you can keep this island a secret."

Lin Ke was stunned by the surprise!It was like a huge prize hit his head, and a flower opened at the corner of his mouth, "I do, Edmond, you are an angel sent by God! I do! I will follow you from now on Already!!"

Edmond laughed, "Then you must finish your French homework, you already owe me six French homework!"

"Ah! No way!" Lin Ke yelled!Is he willing to take him in just to learn how to be a good teacher?

"Don't complain, Lin Ke!" Edmond said in a deep tone, "human knowledge is always limited, and we have a lot to learn. What is life? It's a short stay in the hindsight room leading to death. Human beings Life is so short, learning can make your life a little more interesting. Sometimes I see the sky darken and the waves surging. The storm is formed in the sky, just like the wings of a roc spreading out to cover the sky. So he felt that I The ship is just an unreliable hiding place. It shakes and shakes in the waves like a feather in the hand of a giant. Human beings are so small at this time, if we are accidentally buried in the sea, we will leave nothing Next. If you are knowledgeable, maybe you can still leave some books in the world, tell the world what you have learned and felt, leave wonderful moments, and people will remember you."

Lin Ke heard it in a daze, and felt that Edmond's words were like reading comprehension in high school Chinese.Is this to let him study hard?This philosophical and dialectical truth defense is really stressful.

Lin Ke nodded sadly, "I will study hard."

Edmund patted Linko's head in satisfaction, and then went out to prepare dinner.
