Haihan always likes to come to watch the tide of Blue Island at night.
In the distance, there is the lighthouse of Blue Island, which illuminates the direction of fishing boats at night.
In Blue Island in January, the weather was still a bit cold, but Haihan's clothes were not too thick. He liked to feel the sea breeze.
Then, he looked at the sea in front of him.
On Blue Island, almost everyone can swim and fish. For them, the smell of sea water seems to be engraved in their bones since birth.
Haihan is certainly no exception.
When he was a child, he followed other children on the island and often went swimming in the sea. No matter how big the tide was, they could always save themselves from danger. Snorkeling at the bottom of the sea was also commonplace.
but now……
Haihan will never go into the water again.
"Haihan, Haihan!"
Haihan heard someone calling him from behind.
That's his sister Heine.
"Sister..." Before Hai Han could say anything, his sister came over and put a coat on him.
"I've known for a long time that you would go out wearing just this kind of clothes. Aren't you afraid of getting cold?"
"Sister, I'm fine..." Hai Han had already guessed that his sister might come to him, "I just like to listen to the tide at this time."
He lied.
In fact, Haihan came here to find someone nearby.
However, he had to hide it from others.
Haihan looked at the lighthouse in front of him and said, "Dad will come back by fishing boat tomorrow."
"The legendary catcher and sharp archer of our Blue Island." As soon as she mentioned her father, my sister showed a very cheerful expression, "Okay, stop talking, let's go quickly. The wind is so strong, you really
You're not afraid of catching a cold, are you? Also, have you finished your homework?"
"Sister, you've almost become as nagging as mom lately."
Although he said that, Hai Han also knew that his sister Hai Yin loved him very much.
"Really, mom always says that you are more like him when he was a child, like to play around wildly. I always doubt it."
"Didn't uncle say the same thing?"
"Who doesn't know that uncle loves you the most! I don't dare to believe all his words. Come on, Haihan, don't run out without saying a word again."
"I know, sister."
Haihan then left with his sister.
On the way, Hai Han kept subconsciously looking in a certain direction behind him.
That place hid a big secret in Hai Han's heart.
"What are you looking at? Haihan?"
Hearing Hai Yin's words, Hai Han immediately started to change the topic: "Sister, it suddenly occurred to me that the thing about you most like your mother is that you learn things very quickly."
His brother changed the topic so abruptly that Hein didn't care and said, "Oh, really?"
"Didn't Mom learn painting from Aunt Leng before? Art depends on talent, but Mom learned very quickly. I heard that Dad fell in love with her at first sight just after watching her paint."
"Yes, but it's a pity that my mother is doing funerals with my uncle now, and she doesn't even paint anymore."
Following her sister, Haihan returned home all the way.
"Mom, I brought my brother back."
As soon as he entered the door, Hein said to his mother who was knitting a scarf: "He ran to the lighthouse alone again. It's too close to the coast. I'm afraid something will happen when the tide rises."
"Hai Han, you are disobedient." Ji Danshu, the mother who was knitting a scarf, looked at her son and said angrily: "Do you really like the lighthouse that much?"
"Mom, just think that I like it there."
"You." The mother held up the half-knitted scarf in her hand and said, "This scarf is what I knitted for you. Don't always wear such a few clothes when going out in the cold weather. Although you boys are in poor physical condition,
Okay, but don’t keep doing this. You have to know that there is only one health clinic on our island.”
"Oh, I see."
Everyone could see that Hai Han didn't mean what he said.
"Haihan, don't be like this, tell your mother properly."
Haihan could only look at his mother Ji Danshu, nodded heavily and said, "I understand."
"Haihan, come here." Ji Danshu took her son's hand and asked curiously: "You used to like to swim in the sea, but recently you haven't gone, you just sit on the coast. Are you afraid of the sea or not?"
The sea?"
"I don't like the sea outside Blue Island." Hai Han said bluntly: "No, I should say, I hate that sea."
Hearing this, Ji Danshu's expression changed slightly.
"Hai Yin, please go back to your room. I have something to say to Hai Han."
Hein didn't know what her mother wanted to say to her brother, but she left without asking any more questions.
Ji Danshu grabbed Haihan's hand and lowered her voice and said to him, "Did you hear someone say something?"
Haihan looked at Ji Danshu's nervous expression and said, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
"Did you hear anyone tell you something about the sea?"
At this moment, suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Danshu, Danshu!"
When Ji Danshu heard the voice, she quickly walked to the door and opened it.
A bearded man stood outside the door and said, "Danshu, it's like this. Grandma of the Li family passed away."
"okay, I get it."
Ji Danshu's family is engaged in the funeral business on this island. She is a very skilled embalmer who can make all kinds of corpses lifelike and make the deceased walk in a dignified manner.
After Ji Danshu's father passed away, this craft was handed down to her and her brother Ji Danyang.
For Chinese people, death is always a very taboo thing. Therefore, those who engage in funeral business will always be regarded as unlucky by many people.
However, there is an exception on Bilan Island. Not only do the people on this island not discriminate against them, on the contrary, the Ji family is very popular on the island. During the holidays, the islanders always come to the Ji family one after another.
.
Although it was very late at night, Ji Danshu rushed to the place where the Li family's grandma died.
Grandma Li was getting older, and she passed away very peacefully this time, which was considered a happy occasion. However, her family always thought she was asleep, and they didn’t realize anything was wrong until dinner in the evening. By this time, the body was already a little stiff, so they wanted to mourn her.
Come and deal with it. At this time, Ji Danshu's brother Ji Danyang has arrived.
"elder brother……"
"Danshu, are you here?" Ji Danyang looked at his sister and said, "Grandma Li is always so kind to us. I didn't expect..."
The family members present looked at the cold body of Grandma Li, and the strange thing was... not even a single person cried.
Not only did no one cry, the family members even welcomed Ji Danshu with laughter.
"Danshu," Grandma Li's wife was speaking at this time, "I'm really bothering you. I'm an old woman and I don't pick a good time to leave. It's late at night, so I'd like you to come over."
"It's okay," Ji Danshu faced Uncle Li who didn't have any sad expression at all, and she didn't feel it was strange at all. She said habitually: "I just didn't expect that Grandma Li looked pretty good a few days ago, so..."
As she spoke, her eyes looked a little lonely.
"It's all fate." Uncle Li sighed and said, "But she is also 94, so it's not bad to leave at this age. I have also thought about it. My liver cancer can no longer be cured. Next year, I can follow her.
She's gone, and we'll meet again soon, so don't worry."
"Uncle Li, you..."
"Why do you have to spend that unjust money and have to go to the city for chemotherapy? It's so troublesome. Danshu, when I leave, I will leave my body and remains to you to sort out. Your skills are exactly the same as those of your father.
The same lineage, so strong. When we leave, this house will be left for my youngest son to get married."
"Uncle Li, don't worry, my craftsmanship will definitely be fine."
Later, Ji Danshu went to help her brother and wipe the stiff body of the Li family's grandma.
"Uncle Li is really open-minded," Ji Danshu said to her brother: "It just so happens that your brother-in-law will come back by boat tomorrow and help us organize the funeral of Grandma Li's family."
