Chapter 146 - Small Water
That was why Li Xiang would sometimes show an expression that was completely different from a normal child's expression. That kind of expression was too heavy for a child, and was not the expression a child should have.
Ordinary children were very happy, very happy. There was a satisfied smile on their face, and as they spoke playful words, others could feel the happiness of children.
However, Xiao Shui was very different from the other children. However, for some reason, he could always empathize with them, so he chose to fulfill the wishes of Ah Kuan and Xiao Shui. Such things made his mood a little better.
The father-son relationship between A-Kuan and Xiaoshui happened to be precisely what Li Xiang lacked. She lacked this kind of relationship, and he had never experienced it before. He did not understand his father's place in his life. The word father was too foreign to him, but he wanted to get close, wanted to get closer.
He wanted to understand and touch this feeling even more. He didn't know why, but he suddenly thought of his father, whom he had never seen before, and felt a bit regretful. Normally, he wouldn't feel so much because he didn't have much time to think about these things as he was in a busy city. At this very special time, he calmed down and thought about these things.
He felt that there were some things that he wanted to clarify, and that was his own life. As a weapons specialist, he had never known about his life, and this was not how he felt right now.
After talking about the effects of Xiao Shui and Ah Kuan, she decided to investigate more clearly. He felt that some things were not as simple as he thought, but he wasn't afraid. The unknown world was often more exciting, even though it was filled with twists and turns.
Li Xiang walked into the hut with a smile on his face. He felt as if something had been put down, and he enjoyed this feeling.
When he entered the room, he saw Xiao Shui seriously studying on a small stool in the room. The light in the room was not very good and was a little yellow, but Xiao Shui did not mind as she continued writing on the table. That expression was extremely serious, and even Li Xiang couldn't help but admire him a little. For a child to be able to do this, Li Xiang felt that it was quite good.
At this moment, Ah Kuan was mending his fishing net. There was a particularly large hole on top of the net. In fact, there were many places on the net that had been patched up. It was somewhat dilapidated and looked rather old. However, A-Kang was still very serious when he made up for it.
That earnest expression was exactly the same as Little Water's beside him. As expected of a father and son, their serious attitude and attitude were all the same.
"Ah Kuan, why do you still need to make up for this fish net? You guys are almost out of stock. "Why do you want to continue fishing after leaving the fishing village?" Li Xiang asked jokingly.
Ah Kuan's face was a little red, as if he was a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and seriously sewed with a needle, before saying, "This fishing net has been with me for many years. Although it's a little shabby, we relied on it for food and clothes. He wasn't used to suddenly leaving. Although he had always wanted to bring Xiao Shui away from this place, he felt very uncomfortable inside as he really had to leave. I can't let go of everything here. "
Li Xiang nodded in understanding as he helped Ah Kuan organize the fish nets on the ground. The two of them looked at each other speechlessly, and the little house fell into silence.
Lil 'Shui raised her head and looked at the strange atmosphere. Although he did not know what was happening, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere and did not dare to say anything.
As a result, Liushui raised her head to look at the two of them seriously patching up the net. Her expression was a little strange as her gaze shifted between the two of them. She no longer wrote her homework.
Li Xiang was the first to notice that something was wrong with Xiao Shui. Seeing the look in her eyes, he could not help but ask, "Xiao Shui, what's wrong, why aren't you doing your homework?"
Xiao Shui looked at Li Xiang suspiciously, asking curiously, "Uncle, what's wrong with you and dad, I don't feel too good, did you guys quarrel?"
Li Xiang was surprised by Xiao Shui's sensitivity. He could even feel such minute changes in her emotions, but he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. Some things are not for Xiao Shui to bear.
When Li Xiang thought here, he laughed and caressed Little Water's head: "Uncle and Father did not argue, we were only discussing one thing, Little Water, I want to ask you, if you and Father want to leave this fishing village, would you be willing?"
Ah Kuan also really wanted to know Xiao Shui's answer. He wanted Xiao Shui to leave this place with him, but he never asked for her opinion. If Xiao Shui didn't want to leave this place, after all, she had lived for so many years, children would still be very affectionate.
Xiao Shui looked at Ah Kuan and whispered, "Ah Pa is always looking at the other side of the sea. "Abba really wants to go out and see the outside world. Little Shui knows, but if Abba wants to go, don't you want to go?"
Little Water lowered his head and began to sob softly. Afterwards, he cried especially loudly, as if he wanted to cry out all his grievances and worries.
Ah Kuan heard Xiao Shui's crying and felt his heart ache. He did not expect Xiao Shui to be so obedient and smart. Seeing that he was so young, would he understand why he wanted to go out?
However, who knew that Xiao Shui knew her better than anyone. Xiao Shui knew that he wanted to leave, but he never told her that he was afraid that she would abandon him and go outside alone.
His wife had not been here since she was young, so she had left a bad impression on Xiao Shui. This made him much more sensitive than some of his peers.
Ah Kuan's eyes were also a little moist, he wiped them with his rough palms, feeling much better, he walked in front of Xiao Shui and wiped the tears off her face, "Why would Ah Pa leave you behind, I will never leave you here." "Abba wants to leave the fishing village, but he will definitely bring you with him. Wherever you are, I will be there."
A-Kang held her tightly in his arms. She wasn't crying that much anymore, she was just crying on A-Kuan's shoulder. He kept saying, "Ah Pa, don't leave her alone, she will listen to me."
Ah Kuan carefully comforted Xiao Shui, patting him lightly with his palm. "Why would Ah Pa abandon such obedient Xiao Shui? I still want to bring you to the city to live a good life. Don't cry."
Li Xiang did not have the heart to disturb this beautiful and warm scene. He sat by the side and smiled warmly, his hand gently stroking the fish net in his hand.
This scene of Little Water's fatherly love had indeed moved Li Xiang, and made Li Xiang want to know who his parents were even more. Li Xiang didn't know if he hated or hated them, but which person didn't want to enjoy the happiness of a natural environment, the happiness of a family, and the happiness of a strong and warm wanting to have as well.
Xiao Shui cried for a while and then gradually stopped moving. Kuan put her down. Xiao Shui was too tired from crying so she fell asleep. Kuan looked at the sleeping Xiao Shui gently and put her down reluctantly, holding her in his arms.
After that, he was really too tired, so he put him down. Ah Kuan looked at Li Xiang who was sewing the fish net by himself embarrassedly, and sat down to mend it together with him.
Ah Kang looked at Li Xiang's skillful sewing technique and was a little surprised. The technique Li Xiang used was a type of sewing technique that only fishermen like them in the sea use.
Li Xiang laughed uneasily, looking at the thick string in his hand, his expression somewhat sorrowful, as if he had thought of something, "I was forced by the circumstances in the past to learn to mend the fish net for a while, and this has been going on for a long time. I never thought that I would still be so proficient in this technique, and have not forgotten about it."
Ah Kuan smiled and nodded, sighing to himself over how good Li Xiang's memory and hand control was.
Although Li Xiang was still patching up the fish net, it was clearly slower than before by a little. It was because Li Xiang remembered the things that happened a long time ago, a sorrowful memory.
Li Xiang learned to sew up the fish net because his superior sent him to do a task. He had investigated the situation thoroughly and found out that the ship that dealt with drugs would stop every Friday to unload the drugs on board. However, they were too secretive and only knew when the boat would land.
He had no idea where and how many people were on board the ship, so the mission of investigation was naturally in the hands of Li Xiang and a good brother. They pretended to be nearby fishermen as they waited for the opportunity to investigate.
The method Li Xiang used to patch the fish net was something he had learnt on the spot. If he had not learnt it correctly, others would definitely be able to see it, so Li Xiang learned it extremely seriously, to the point where he had almost memorized every movement.
This was why Li Xiang was so familiar with his movements and techniques.
Things went smoothly at the start, and the two of them had managed to disguise themselves as successfully without anyone noticing anything amiss. They succeeded in deceiving everyone.
But some things happen less often than people want, and accidents always happen at special times.
They had been lurking there for nearly half a month before they noticed something unusual, and they discovered that every Friday a ship carried a white flag, and that the position of the ship with the white flag was different.
Li Xiang recognized the baldy. He was the owner of the boat with a white flag on it, but he seemed to have heard the conversation.
The baldy revealed an inexplicable smile to the two. Just when the two of them thought that they had been exposed and were preparing to take out their guns, the baldy suddenly laughed out loud.
The two of them quickly retracted their hands that were holding their guns. They didn't know what the baldy was doing.
He patted his shoulder and said mysteriously, "Brother, I have a task to introduce to you two. I don't know if you two are willing, but don't worry, the money won't be any less than the others."
