Jean Of Bright City 13

"Aish, we will live here in the future."

Seabirds swept across the sea, and the waves hit the shabby shore. This is a somewhat desolate harbor, and only many fishermen live here.

In the past ten years, due to the deterioration of the global environment, the production of marine fish has been declining year after year, coupled with a large amount of pollution, leading to most people fleeing this small seaside town.

The old man's name is Diego. He basically lives here for the first half of his life. He didn't go to the big city for his grandson until his son had a successful career. But now everything is gone.

Recently, the news is full of gangs fighting on the streets. No one knows what happened. Originally, because of his son's vigorous crackdown on these gangs’ industries, some large gangs could only flee abroad.

But after the son and daughter-in-law were killed, the suppressed gang members began to look up again, but suddenly the domestic situation became extremely chaotic. They came back all the way and encountered 5 street shootouts.

People are dying every day, and those in power are calling on the people not to go out as much as possible. From Diego's point of view, this is incredible. Those in power do not want to quell the riots, but hope that the people will not go out and let those The gangsters behaved in the city.

Only this seaport city is currently peaceful, many places are no longer inhabited, and the city is already more than half empty.

Dia originally wanted to take Ashe abroad, relying on the large sum of money left by Ashe’s parents, but the day before the funeral, Diego was desperate and his son gave him a secret account. , There is no money left.

Diego knew well that as long as there were people who knew the secret account, if something happened to the son, the other party would definitely do everything possible to take the money in the account.

Ashe stood quietly in front of an old small fishing boat. The hull of the fishing boat had large and small patches, and the bottom of the boat was covered with moss. The flag of the Diego was torn apart by the wind. Only some broken pieces remained.

A three-story building behind him is Diego’s house. There is a freezer underground. For the past few decades, Diego fished every day and then immediately gave it to the fishmonger. The remaining fish will be frozen. Curry.

There used to be people coming and going in this harbor, and the shops on the opposite side were open during the day and night. Although part of this was due to the fact that the gangs needed to transport goods through this port, the former prosperous port city is now fleeing with people. , Has been devastated.

"Dia brother, why are you back?"

At this time, a skinny old man ran out of an alley. He limped and ran over with excitement, and tightly held Diego's hand.

The little old man’s eyes were full of tears, his hands trembling unceasingly, tears began to come out of his eyes, Diego was comforting this childhood playmate, although he didn’t know what happened to him, at this moment, he just needs to recount the old times. .

The two talked about the past. Grandson Ashe carefully climbed onto the old fishing boat. There were holes in many places on the deck. From time to time, he would hear his grandfather say that he used to lean on this small boat. Fishing boats feed the whole family.

I originally had two uncles, but they were all killed by the gang. From time to time, some **** moving with the sea could be seen on the surface of the sea. Some things Ashe had never seen before, he carefully picked them up. By the side of the guardrail, looking at the slightly fluctuating sea, his face was expressionless.

As for the death of Ashe now, he only has a little concept. Parents basically came to see him once for a long time. Only the grandfather took him with him. Although Ashe was a little sad about the murder of his parents, he didn't quite understand.

Diego watched the past friends tearfully talking about all the changes, although he had seen in the news before, some gang members moved the manufacturing plant nearby, and the discharged sewage directly flowed into the ocean, a lot of The fish has been polluted. In the past few years, the factories of several gangs have been destroyed, and they have gradually recovered.

The self-purification ability of the sea is not all the time. Diego glanced at the sea that was dyed red. It was dawn, just 7 o'clock.

"Aish, be careful yourself. Grandpa has to go back to clean up the house and prepare for breakfast."

Diego asked his old friend to come over for a drink later, and then had a good chat. After stepping into the house that hadn’t been back for 6 years, he closed his eyes helplessly as soon as he entered. The house was in a mess, and he came to the second floor. The anti-theft cage has been knocked open, and the glass has been broken.

All the valuable things in the house, all that could be taken were taken away. The whole house was very dirty. It seemed that someone had lived here and urinate in the house casually.

Although a little angry, Diego can only clean up first. Later, he can only go to an old friend’s house and borrow a heater to make some simple quick food. Although there is still some money in his pocket, he needs to raise one. Children, the money is far from enough.

Diego looked at his old fishing boat. The fishing boat originally wanted to sell, but the final price was not negotiated. Diego placed the fishing boat on the beach and did not move it. Although it is old, the engine and some equipment were replaced a few years ago, so I can only return to the old business.

When Diego came here, he also visited some fish shops along the way. Many fish shops have very few species of fish. As long as they can catch fish, they should be able to sustain it.

Suddenly, Diego found that Ash was missing, he ran down anxiously, and immediately shouted.

Except for the sound of the waves, I could not hear Ashe's voice. Looking at the wavy water beside the boat, Diego immediately rushed over. Just when he was about to dive into the water, Ashe came out of the water. Body.

"Grandpa, I can swim."

Ashe smiled and thumped his body, Diego was slightly relieved.

"You should be able to become an excellent fisherman, Ashe, starting tomorrow, our grandparents and grandchildren will start fishing at sea."

The burden on his shoulders fell in an instant. Watching the grandson happily swimming on the surface of the sea, the child was not as fragile as his appearance. Diego knew this from the beginning.

Diego is 50 years old, he can't be like a young man, his energy is limited. He has been thinking about how to raise Ashe all the way along the way, but now it seems that he is too worried.

"Grandpa teaches me how to sail, okay?"

Ashe walked ashore, wearing only a pair of shorts, he shivered, and Diego took off his coat and wrapped his grandson.

"Let's clean the house out first."
