One Piece: The Journey of the Divine Girl
Chapter 123
The weather has been hot recently, and when Saishu and baby5 go to buy ice cream, they can only buy a few bites and eat it, otherwise it will melt. Even when I was holding an umbrella, I felt that I was surrounded not by air, but by steam.
They hid under the tree, waiting for Corazon to finish his task and come and pick them up. Originally, baby5 was also going to be together, but it was really too hot, so she was lazy, and it wasn't a difficult thing anyway.
Under the scorching sun, there was a middle-aged man carrying a big bag on his back, with nothing to shade the sun, so he walked in the sun. Seeing that it was shady, he licked his chapped lips and shuffled along. When he came to the shade of the tree, he sat down with his back against the trunk.
He was so hot that he was sweating like rain. I took out a kettle from my bag and drank all the water in two sips, but I was still not satisfied. Looking upside down, there is indeed not a drop left.
"If you don't mind, we have water. Saishu handed over a cup of fruit tea, which she hadn't drunk yet.
The man smiled heartily, took the fruit tea, and thanked him again and again. He rolled up his sleeves, and there was a well-defined skin color difference on his arms.
"Why are you still going out on such a hot day?", looking at his appearance, he should have been out for a long time.
Speaking of this, the man anxiously took out a photo album from his bag and opened the first side, which showed a boy with freckles on his face, holding a fish and smiling happily.
"This is my son, I've been looking for him for a long time, have you seen him?", he said, nostalgic, carefully stroking the edge of the photo, not wanting to touch it with old age.
Saishu thought about it carefully, but still shook her head, baby5 also said that she hadn't seen it.
He sighed, not too disappointed, "Actually, this is a picture of him when he is six years old, and after ten years, he has already changed."
"Ten years?", Sai Shu was a little surprised.
"Yes, the village was ransacked by pirates ten years ago, and we were separated. I don't know if he's still alive, but as long as I don't get the news of his death, I'm going to look for him. "
baby5 is not even 10 years old, but this person has been looking for his son for 10 years, and he really has perseverance. But I couldn't find it for so long, maybe I was dead, alive in some hard-to-find corner.
"By the way, there are some lost children, have you seen them?", he flipped the page of the album and held it to them.
Saishu and baby5 took one side and turned the pages one by one, identifying the people on it. Turning the page, she seemed to see a silver-haired girl, and hurriedly opened the page, it turned out that she had never seen it, and it had nothing to do with her.
It's a pity that they haven't seen any of them, so they returned the album.
"It doesn't matter, some parents don't expect to find it, maybe their children have a new life. In any case, it would be nice to know that he is still alive. He returned the album to the compartment of his backpack.
"Why have you been looking for so long?", Saishu asked, looking at him.
He seemed to remember what had happened before, his eyes were foggy, and he didn't know where it landed.
"My wife and I had no relatives, and after falling in love, we gave birth to a son, but she died of illness not long after. My son and I depend on each other, but unfortunately the world is impermanent, and my son is also lost. There's no way I can't help but look for him, and if he's actually waiting for me and I don't move, we'll miss out forever. As soon as I thought about it, I had the motivation to keep going.
Baby5 listened, biting her lower lip, so moved that she was about to cry, and grabbed Saishu's arm, as if she could be comforted in this way.
If it was usual, Saishu would pick up baby5 and coax her, but she is now upset.
She thought of herself, she had been picked up, she didn't know who her parents were, were they still looking for her? According to Yuto's letter, he had asked in the nearby town, but no one claimed her. Was she taken too far away, or was she actually thrown away on purpose?
The man looking for relatives put his bag back on his back, "Okay, thank you for the fruit tea, I'm going to the next town."
Saishu nodded, saying goodbye. baby5 waved his hand, and his face was no longer crying.
"He's such a great man. Baby5 little adults generally sighed deeply.
Corazon finished his mission and came to pick them up. He wears a red hat on his head, two red hearts hanging from him, and even his shirt is covered with red hearts.
Saishu said to him what had just happened as he walked, "In this chaotic world, it's really hard to find a lost child." "
Corazon didn't light a cigarette, otherwise it would have been a fire if he had lit something in such weather.
On the coast, the cargo had already begun to be loaded, and a few children were talking about something around them. It was a child that the family adopted in this town that no one wanted, and wanted to pick out good seedlings and train them to be the right-hand men of the future.
In the past, Saishu would not go close to them, because the children did not dare to approach the cadres, and Saishu was not responsible for them. But today, Saishu wanted to say a few words to them.
"I ask, which of you still has parents?"
the children looked at each other, not knowing why they suddenly asked this, but they all shook their heads honestly, and only the last boy raised his hand.
"I, I still have my mother, but I haven't seen me since I was abducted. He didn't dare to look at Saishu and stammered in reply.
"Do you remember where your home is?"
"I remember, it's just too far away, and I can't go back now." I hope, I hope that I can grow up quickly and become a great person, and then I can go back.
Because Saishu kept staring at him, he was a little nervous and didn't dare to look at her.
"Perhaps, you can go back with the merchant ship. Don Quixote had merchant ships to transport goods to the four seas.
"Really, really?", he suddenly looked up and saw the clear blue eyes.
The eyes curled, "Yes." After
that, the boy actually boarded a merchant ship to his neighborhood. Although he was adopted by his family, he was actually only a reserve, and very few children could pass the assessment. If they don't, they will be dismissed, or go to the school where Saishu invests if they wish, or go to work as a helper in the store.
This has always been what Saishu meant, anyway, there is a shortage of manpower, and it just so happens that these children have nowhere to go, so it's the best of both worlds, which is a good thing.
However, in the eyes of some, it is not so simple. They don't think Don Quixote is kind, maybe it's just a cover-up, and there is a conspiracy behind it.
However, no matter how it is spread outside, Saishu doesn't care, and it doesn't affect her business.
It didn't take long for the caravan to bring her a letter, written by the child, saying that he had arrived home and was thankful to her. It's just that the words on the letter are really ugly, well, that child has been wandering for a long time, where is the condition to go to school.
It's good to be reunited with her family, and Saishu smiled as she took the letter to a drawer.
