Wu Liang was stunned at the scene, and the whole person was stunned.

Looking at the thousands of neat private troops on the opposite side, I was even more frightened.

He never imagined that it would be okay if he didn't get any benefits from swaggering, but he actually ran into the young marshal of the Ning family, and he also wantonly stole Ning Kunlun's name in front of the other party.

This......

"Get out."

Hua Rong stopped drinking, and with a one-word order, Wu Liang took his gang and rushed back to the place of the incident in embarrassment.

However, at this time, Ning Chen had already sailed away.

In the sparkling waves, a fishing boat floats and drifts, gradually moving away.

Rumble!

Wu Liang didn't dare to delay, knelt on his knees on the spot, and waited for Ning Chen's return from the sea.

And his gang, one counts as one, all kneeling in place, not daring to make a sound.

The passers-by who were watching before were suddenly interested, so they all ran here in groups of three or five to join in the fun.

For the first time, Wu Liang felt the embarrassment in front of everyone's eyes, how unbearable it was, but there was no way, the basket had already been poked out, so he could only try his best to make amends, so as not to be served by the other party.

Above the sea, the waves roll.

The current season is not yet the high tide stage, and the sea water pushes slightly, gradually slowing down and becoming more and more urgent.

Ning Chen didn't make a big move, just took advantage of a fishing boat to go out to sea to collect the net, and simply went the same way.

The fisherman was an old man, in his early seventies, who had dark skin and a thin body because of his perennial fishing, but he was in good spirits.

The sea was very windy, and the old man did not swing the oars, but sat alone in the bow of the boat, quietly smoking a dry cigarette.

The older generation still likes this kind of dry tobacco, which is choking and heavy enough.

Slowly the smoke swirled and swayed upward.

Ning Chen and Li Banruo sat in the middle of the fishing boat, opposite Yu Sheng, Yu Xin and brother and sister.

This pair of brothers and sisters, similar in appearance but with very different personalities, compared to the lively and cheerful teenager Yu Sheng, Yu Xin seems too quiet, after getting on the boat, lying on the edge, one hand into the seawater, gently stirring.

Occasionally, the eyebrows are raised, and the heart is full of joy.

"Be careful, don't catch a cold." Don't overdo it for the rest of your life.

Yu Xin hummed, turned to his hands on his cheeks, and quietly looked at the slowly flowing seawater.

Yu Sheng scratched his head and smiled at Ning Chen, "My sister has grown so big, I haven't taken her out to play yet, and this time I traveled for a long time before I came to this side of the sea." ”

"I never thought to meet a god stick with bad intentions, if it wasn't for your action, I would still be kept in the dark."

Ning Chen said, "Remember to have more eyes when you go out in the future." ”

After explaining, Ning Chen said again, "But at your age, it's still suitable to stay at home." ”

"Hey."

Yu Chang sighed and muttered, "My sister and I are orphans, where there is a home, wherever we go, there is a home." ”

Ning Chen was slightly stunned, and his expression was puzzled.

"My parents died early, and my sister and I have always been dependent on each other."

Yu Sheng shrugged, turned his head, and looked at his sister with doting eyes.

In fact, he is only one or two years older than her, but the love in his eyes is very sincere.

Yu Xin still maintained the posture of holding her hands on her cheeks, unmoved.

"Brother, there are fish."

Finally, this quiet and restrained girl pointed to the sea water and said happily.

Yu Sheng rolled his eyes, "Silly, I haven't seen a fish before, so I need to scream?" ”

Yu Xin pouted slightly aggrieved, snorted, turned her back again, and ignored her own brother.

Ning Chen and Li Panruo looked at each other and smiled.

Through the words and deeds of the brother and sister, they remembered the old memories they had together when they were young.

In fact, it was not Ning Chen who touched the scene at the same time.

The old man who had been squatting on the bow of the boat just now to smoke a dry cigarette, put on a hat, picked up a fishing rod and threw it out of the sea, then turned his back to Ning Chen and the others, and said with emotion, "I have been a fisherman for half my life, I have watched the ebb and flow of half my life, and I have waited for half my life, but I ......"

This sentence is inexplicable.

Ning Chen, Li Banruo, and the rest of their brothers and sisters all looked at the old fisherman with a blank expression.

The fisherman shook his head while throwing the rod, "I'm old, so I'm a little sad, and when I see you couple, I can't help but think of them." ”

"Them?" Ning Chen muttered, becoming more and more dazed.

"Yes, I have lived here for decades, watching the vicissitudes of the sea, watching my peers die one by one, returning to their roots, and watching future generations move out of this barren land, but I am reluctant to leave, and I can't let go of ......"

"I'm afraid that one day they will really come back and not find me."

"So, it's been decades to wait, and now that I'm older, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait a few years."

Today, on the edge of the sea, there are only a few dilapidated wooden houses, and there are indeed very few people living there.

According to the normal situation, at such an old age, it is time to retire.

At this moment, listening to what this old man meant, the reason why he is still insisting is not forced by life, but to wait for someone.

Wait for one, and the one who hasn't come back for half his life will not return.

Ning Chen asked again, "Uncle, who are you waiting for?" ”

"Wait for a couple who lived here many years ago."

The old man tilted his head stiffly and muttered, "I still owe them a favor." ”

"That year, they should have just lived nearby, although the two have outstanding temperaments, they are not ordinary people at first glance, but their personalities are really good, especially that girl, kind-hearted and approachable."

"We were very well taken care of in the past, and there was a ......"

The old man lifted his right leg, rolled his trousers, pointed to a scar on his calf, and recalled, "Once I was bitten by a sea snake, and I had no money for treatment, but that girl saved me, otherwise I would have died a long time ago." ”

"It's a pity, the first day I made an appointment to wait for the leg injury to heal, so I invited them to drink, which was counted as a repayment, and they also agreed at that time, saying that this wine must be drunk with me, but the next day, they hurriedly said goodbye to me, saying that there was something to deal with urgently, and when it was done, they would get drunk with me again."

"In the end, I've been waiting for this wine for half my life."

Ning Chen's heart was heavy in an instant, he gritted his teeth, and said sonorously, "Uncle, is that young girl called Tuoba Nianqiu?" And the man who is inseparable from her is called the ancient three links? ”

For a promise, the old fisherman, who had been waiting for half his life, turned around with a stunned expression and asked Ning Chen, "How do you know?" ”

"Because...... This time, I'm just sending them home. ”

Ning Chen held up the urn with both hands and gestured to the emaciated fisherman.

Half a life waiting.

The former non-returnee has finally returned home.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back."

The old fisherman, staggering towards Ning Chen, with a pair of cloudy eyes, almost burst into tears.
