Chapter 638 (1/2)
Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the wooden house and thought of his daughter who was still in Wuzhong.
She once wanted to go back to Wuzhong and stay with her daughter, but she was worried that her appearance would bring trouble to the whole Xia family, and she was reluctant to leave her sweet memories on the island. From the day the windmill was born in the Pacific Ocean, she has been in panic for fear that the place where she and her husband lived for a short time but regarded as an eternal home will be destroyed in the whirlwind.
Until she came back here, she saw that the beach in Crescent Bay still exuded the luster of gold and silver at night, saw the small wooden house without doors and households floating like a boat when the tide rose, saw the exquisite stone house on the hillside and the purple flowers in full bloom in front of the house, and finally believed what situ had said:
A lover's home will never be swallowed by the tide.
She finally knew why situ had been running all his life - he had the mission to protect a larger home from greater disasters. She understood why situ named his daughter Alice, because this was the fairy tale fairyland he created for her, and that cabin might be the entrance to the dream.
Xia Xiaoxiao walked through the flowers and onto the beach. She walked gently along the gentle curve left by the sea, leaving her footprints on the beach. She made another big circle, walked again from the beginning, and her footprints changed from two lines to four lines. She looked back at her masterpiece. One person's road seemed to be two people walking. She saw situ standing at the other end of the beach looking at her and laughing at her stupidity. She smiled, went back to the stone house with satisfaction, sat down on the black stone of unknown composition, and watched the night fall and the bright stars rise.
Many years ago, in such a night, she leaned on his shoulder and looked at the stars with him. She knew more stars than anyone else. Xia Xiaoxiao can name as many stars as situ. He also knows the position of each star in the Milky way, but situ knows more. He can even tell the appearance of stars and planets that can't be seen with a telescope, as if his spaceship had docked there.
She knew that he was not the kind of person who would make things up to make her happy. He must have known what he said. She believed that those planets really existed, no matter how he knew it.
When she couldn't get any news from him all over the world, she didn't despair, but decided to go back here and wait. This is the nest of love and hope. She believed that he was staring at her somewhere at the moment, and fought hard to protect their home. The home of lovers will never be swallowed by the tide.
The next day, Xia Xiaoxiao walked through the flowers again, onto the beach and along the coastline. This time she did not deliberately leave footprints, but let the sea over her ankles. Until dusk, she returned to the stone house and sat on the stone waiting for the sunset and the stars to come.
The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day... She repeated this process every day, repeating the memories in her brain and looking up at the stars.
……
Many years later, when situ walked through the heart of ten days, he saw the silver beach on the distant earth in the flame of supernova explosion, with shells all over the ground and purple flowers all over the mountain. Xia Xiaoxiao sat in front of the stone house and looked up at the starry sky. Her body had already turned into a hard reef with her faith, allowing the tide to rise and fall, wind and rain to erode.
……
When the sunset on the sea shines on Xia Xiaoxiao's petrified body, Xia chujue is growing like a sunflower in xiajiazhuang garden in Wuzhong. She shows maturity and steadiness far beyond her peers, and her intelligence is also beyond ordinary people. More importantly, she has a aura that ordinary people don't have. She can feel something happening and make a very reasonable response.
Xia Wenyuan often laments that it is difficult for his descendants to find suitable successors. It is not that they have insufficient talents in business or family business, but that they lack sufficient long-term vision and broad-minded pattern. Ability and luck can make business reach the peak, but it is difficult to make the family foundation evergreen. Only vision and pattern can make people go further.
