Chapter 257 Send Her Away (1/2)
”What did you say?” He Shishi grabbed Shen I's collar.
Shen I shouted. ”That's what the boss says!”
A Miao kept silent. He Shishi prodded her and said, ”Speak? What should we do?”
”Tut, tut. You came thousands of miles to find your husband, but he wants you to go back.” No one knew where Yu Sihan had come from. He looked at A Miao with pity. ”In that case, let's go back!”
”I won't go.” A Miao suddenly shook her head. ”He must be in danger.”
This was the only reason Shen Xinglan would make her leave.
”If so...” He Shishi's attitude changed immediately. ”Then let's go back first!”
Shen II also agreed. ”I will stay here to find boss. Miss, you go back first.”
However, Yu Sihan changed his opinion. ”You and your husband are deeply in love and it would be good for you to stay. You can rest assured that if you both die, I will adopt Yaya!”
”No way.” A Miao looked at him coldly. ”I want you to play the flute.”
Since Shen Xinglan would not cooperate with them, she had to make her own way.
”Wait a minute!” Lil Xi ran up and saw that A Miao's eyes held joy and timidity.
A Miao calmed down and smiled at him ”You've worked hard, Lil Xi. Thank you!”
”A Miao, you'll alert the enemy if you do that.” Lil Xi shook his head. ”Don't be so polite to me. We can find other ways.”
Yu Sihan shrugged his shoulders. ”It's okay. Most of the people on the island are your clansmen anyway. They wouldn't hurt their descendant.”
”What?” He Shishi was stunned. ”What does he mean, A Miao?”
A Miao knew that it was impossible not to explain clearly, so she told them about Yu Sihan's conjecture.
”If your dad is there, how could Shen Xinglan be in danger?” He Shishi thought it was unreliable.
Wei Meng, who had stayed silent this whole time, looked at A Miao and Yu Sihan and said, ”I think his analysis is correct.”
”Which side are you on?” He Shishi was dissatisfied.
Wei Meng said lightly, ”I just made the most possible judgment and analysis. Following what I just said, someone must have stayed on the island, otherwise, it would be impossible to drive the giant turtle.”
”Whether it is true or not, I'm going to look for Shen Xinglan.” A Miao's eyes showed determination. ”If we can't find a way, we have to use the flute to find the giant turtle directly.”
”We can continue using seabirds to deliver messages!” Shen I said. ”They worked well before.”
Wei Meng refused. ”It is too obvious. It's possible to use them occasionally, but it will cause trouble if one of the birds gets caught by the enemy...”
It was of secondary importance that the news couldn't reach them, the point was that the safety of Shen Xinglan would be even less assured.
”Actually...” Lil Xi's voice was not very loud, so they did not hear him at first. It was A Miao who made them settle down and listen to him.
Lil Xi asked Wei Meng to call over a seabird and pointed to the bird's leg. ”I have seen a martial arts novel before. They engrave characters on the wings of bees. Can we engrave characters on the legs of birds?”
”We can engrave the Moss code on it!” Shen I clapped his hands. ”This method is feasible!”
The legs of these seabirds were mostly yellow or black, but some seabirds were juvenile and had black and yellow lines.
”Even if there were some patterns on the legs of those birds, no one would wonder what it is!” He Shishi patted Lil Xi and said, ”Well done!”
In the end, they all agreed to use this method. Shen I and Shen II wrote messages on the legs of hundreds of seabirds. Many of the messages were spoken by A Miao. In a word, she hoped that Shen Xinglan could provide a plan so they could save him.
”Since boss knows we're here, he'll pay attention to the birds, and I'm sure there will be a reply soon.”
Everyone was in high spirits, but A Miao looked worried.
”What are you worried about?” She was standing on the deck in a daze that night when Yu Sihan appeared.
A Miao looked at him with her head tilted and suddenly asked him very seriously, ”What are you after? Wealth? Rights or women? You have all these.”
”Those things are not worth mentioning!” Yu Sihan looked at the moon above. ”Time flies and people's lives are fleeting. You'll leave the world the way you came into this world.”
His eyes slowly became elusive. ”You will never understand what I am after. For you, there are only Shen Xinglan and your daughter in the world.”
”There are also friends.” A Miao also looked at the moon. ”Without these, what would be the meaning of life?”
Yu Sihan's tone suddenly changed, and he looked at A Miao coldly. ”That's because you're foolish. You only see these things. Your world is too small.”
”The pace of progress in this era is changing with each passing day. Every year new things appear, and human life is constantly improving.” Yu Sihan seemed to calm down, appearing to appreciate the sea in the moonlight.
”Can you imagine what the earth will be like a hundred years from now? It is just like a hundred years ago, people never imagined that people would fly to the sky, take a boat, ride a car, and use a mobile phone or computer...”
A Miao frowned. ”Even if I can imagine it, it's meaningless. It is not our world, and I just want to cherish what I have now.”
”Ha ha ha...” Yu Sihan's hair was blown by the sea breeze, and his eyes were frighteningly bright. ”That's why I said your world is too small.”
After saying that, he flipped his sleeve and left slowly.
A Miao stared at his back for a while. She didn't move for a long time.
On the night of the third day, they found Shen Xinglan's reply on the legs of five birds.
