Liu Mengyan was startled for a moment, and then he laughed hahaha, still looking so heartless.

Su Che sometimes envied him. Although Liu Mengyan had a strict upbringing, he never rebelled, but was happy and carefree.

Unlike himself, Su Che's father was okay, but his mother was very picky and basically planned her son's life, including when to graduate, when to have a girlfriend, when to get married, where to work, and when

She had made a complete plan for having a child.

But as for Su Che, he didn't want to. He would rather make his mother angry and send her to the hospital. She said she wanted to sever the relationship, but he also wanted to be himself.

So... Su Che, who usually looks very quiet, is actually a very independent person.

"Hahaha... Yes, hey... Senior, tell me... will we have a chance to meet again in the future?" Liu Mengyan looked at Su Che seriously.

Su Che looked at him, then looked at the sea, and said seriously: "There will be."

…

When we arrived at the island, we happened to catch up with the return of the fishermen on the island. They all set out yesterday evening and have just returned now.

The women on the island have prepared meals and are waiting for their men to go back to eat.

When they saw Su Che and the others, the residents on the island cast curious glances. After all, no outsiders had visited this place for several years.

Su Che was a little uncomfortable with being watched like this while walking on the road. Fortunately, Liu Mengyan came here once in a while to deliver some medicines that were not available here, so he was very familiar with the people here, and the residents were also familiar with him.

With him leading the way, Su Che quickly found the mother-in-law who had watched over her husband for more than sixty years - Cai Xingmei.

Granny Cai was not actually a resident of this island at first. She and her husband went fishing together and encountered a "sea monster". Both her fishing boat and her husband were dragged away by the sea monster.

At the critical moment, Granny Cai's husband threw the life preserver and Granny Cai into the sea, and Granny Cai survived.

After floating at sea for more than ten days, Granny Cai was rescued by fishermen on the island.

Grandma Cai, who was only 19 years old at the time, arrived on the island and learned the dialect here. She also had various tools and a house of her own. However, she always refused the advances of the men on the island, saying that she wanted to wait for her husband to come back.

.

Gradually, the residents of the island stopped disturbing her.

And because Grandma Cai is literate and knows some basic nursing care, the residents on the island also respect her.

When the scientific research team built a communication tower on the island, Grandma Cai came to receive it. Now she is the person in charge of the communication tower, living in a small house near the communication tower, day after day, year after year.

Years of watching for her husband's return.

When she saw Su Che, a stranger, Granny Cai, who was already dazzled, was a little nervous and wary. She tentatively asked many questions, such as "Are you from the expedition team?" "Are you here to find the 'Sea Monster'?" "I

I’m not sick, I don’t need a doctor, do you want to take me away?”

Questions like that.

Only then did Su Che realize that many people had disturbed Granny Cai in the past sixty years.

But none of them cared about why Granny Cai always believed that her lover was still alive. All they wanted to know from Granny Cai was her experience.

Although Su Che was also curious about what kind of "sea monster" Granny Cai and his wife encountered before dragging a ten-meter-long fishing boat into the deep sea, out of politeness, Su Che decided to avoid these questions as much as possible during the interview.

…

"Please take a seat."——[The following words of Granny Cai are translated by Liu Mengchuan]

Su Che glanced at Liu Mengchuan, and then the two sat down in Granny Cai's hut.

Although Granny Cai is now close to eighty years old, she has always taken good care of herself. The room is also tidied, and even the tea cups and tea sets on the table are neatly placed.

The blue and white interior walls are also decorated with shells and starfish, which look very beautiful.

Su Che asked with a smile: "Mother-in-law, did you make all these decorations? They are so beautiful?"

Grandma Cai didn't smile. She looked at the decorations on the wall and said, "The shells were picked up by the children, and they made the decorations. I don't think they look good, and I want to find someone to dig them all out."

Su Che and Liu Mengyan looked at each other, both of them felt embarrassed.

It seemed that this was not a good start. Su Che reorganized his words and said: "Oh, that's right... Granny, you have been watching here all these years. Suppose that one day, your lover really

He's back, do you have anything to say to him?"

Granny Cai's eyes lit up, and she looked at Su Che blankly. Although her eyes had long been cloudy, there was no confusion in her eyes.

She said: "If he comes back as you said, then I will definitely ask him why he threw me into the sea and why he separated from me for so long. We once agreed to be together no matter what time, but

Why would he let me endure this torture alone?"

After Liu Mengyan finished translating, he was stunned.

Su Che was the same. He suddenly remembered a book he had read called "Memories of Survivors". The book recorded the psychological and physiological changes of survivors of many disasters after surviving.

Many of them have the same question, that is, why are they the ones who survived?

It seems that surviving is a more painful thing.

Su Che, who had never had any deep emotional entanglements with anyone, could not fully understand Granny Cai's depressed state of mind, but he could hear a voice from Granny Cai's rhetorical questions... and that was...
