Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    While Xianlin was making a fuss, the women they said were lost had quietly sneaked back to the old refugee camp on the beach.  This is the agreed meeting place, but the agreed time has passed and the person who was supposed to come has not shown up.  They couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.  Especially boy A and boy D. They were actually brought here on a temporary basis, and they began to regret whether they had been deceived.  When they thought of Xian Lin's cruelty, the two of them were even more confused.

    The women¡¯s uneasiness lasted for some time.  After escaping in the morning, their hearts were empty, and now they were tired and hungry.  The tired waiting wears away people's patience.  Everyone was whispering among themselves, wondering what was going on now.  It was pitch dark nearby, and some timid people couldn't help but raise their voices to embolden themselves.  Slowly, the discussion became louder and louder, and the topics were no longer limited to the current situation.  Someone cursed Xian Lin's black heart hatefully, which immediately resonated with everyone, and there was a lot of curses in the old camp.

    It wasn¡¯t until one of the women¡¯s sharp eyes spotted a figure appearing in the darkness that everyone became silent.  Is it finally here?  Thirteen pairs of eyes looked towards the figure.

    The figure walked closer and spoke coldly.  "I heard you yelling from afar. Have you forgotten what day it is? What a shame."

    No one dared to recognize her until she opened her mouth.  The refugees on the island were always half-clothed, but this man was completely wrapped in a burqa.  In addition, her figure and gait exuded fierce confidence. If her accent hadn't been revealed in her words, the girls wouldn't have believed that this was actually a girl they had been with for more than ten days.

    If she dared to talk to an adult woman like this in normal times, she would have been beaten a few times.  But at this moment, facing the girl in front of him whose face remained unchanged but exuded an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura, the adults were at a loss.  A square-faced woman who is usually quite enthusiastic and the first to say "anyway" quickly came out to smooth things over.

    "It turns out it's Miss Shuo, I don't dare to admit it." She habitually wanted to hold the other person's hand and express her intimacy in the way women chat about everyday things.  But in the end, he didn't dare to move, so he had to laugh twice.  "It's all our fault. Please be more patient. We have waited for a long time and are feeling anxious."

    The other party was indifferent after hearing her explanation.  He glanced at everyone arrogantly and scolded in a lecturing tone: "You are here to see the Immortal. If you don't even have the patience, go back as soon as possible. If you are not waiting for the Immortal, why should you let the Immortal wait for you?"

    "Yes, yes, I don't dare." Not to mention that everyone really did this.  No one thought anything was wrong with Quan Hao's pleasant appearance.  Now even one of his little followers is so bossy, but everyone feels that it is natural.  Any resentment I had in my heart disappeared in these two scoldings.  Unconsciously, everyone's waist has been bent.

    "And don't call me Shuo or Miss Shuo anymore. The gods gave me a new name, and you all have to remember it. From now on, you will call me Aloe. Aloe¡ª¡ª" the girl repeated the word "Aloe"  Twice, and the second time I played a long note.  "Do you remember clearly?"

    "Aloe, aloe" Everyone chanted over and over again.  The girl's coldness and arrogance left a deep impression on them, and no one dared to neglect her, desperately trying to keep the two words in their hearts.  Because the local language only has these two sounds but not these two words, the combination is very awkward at first glance.  For a while, strange sounds with southern and northern accents came and went.

    The square-faced woman repeated it stiffly several times before pronouncing the two words smoothly.  She said with a bright smile: "Congratulations, girl! It sounds like a good name."

    Aloe exposed her lies mercilessly.  "Stop flattering indiscriminately! You don't understand the language of gods, how do you know what a good name is?" Then he lectured: "Don't do such insincere things in the future, especially in front of the gods. What do you do, what do you think, the gods are just  Don't say it, I know it in my heart. If you want to be safe, remember to be careful and self-disciplined, otherwise it will be too late to regret if you really offend him." Aloe said about the square-faced woman, but his eyes were looking back and forth among the people.  The meaning is obvious: the warning just now includes you.

    No one dared to meet those two piercing gazes.  People lowered their heads one after another, but there was something strange in their hearts: They were all the same people, but why did their hearts beat so hard and they couldn't breathe when she just looked at them?

    "Yes, thank you Miss Aloe for your advice." The square-faced woman was not dissatisfied at all after being scolded.  Instead, he kept saying thank you.

    In response to her flattery, Aloe just snorted.  "You'd better understand." Then the conversation was interrupted.  "If you want to see the immortal, follow me." He turned around and headed back the way he came.

    Everyone hurriedly gathered behind him.  Under her influence, everyone's expectations for the next step suddenly increased several times.  The image of Quan Hao in his mind also became taller and more mysterious. The original impression of being approachable was like a mirror, but was blown away by the biting cold wind.

    A word about aloe vera along the wayIt's just a matter of moving forward in the dark.  The others couldn't wait for her to speak, so they kept their mouths tightly shut and didn't dare to speak out.  The team of fourteen people made almost no sound except for the rustling sound of walking.

    The team marched about a kilometer, and several short figures appeared in front of them, dressed exactly like Aloe Vera.

    This time no one dared to be curious. Everyone just walked with their heads down, for fear of causing additional complications.

    Aloe led the way until he brought everyone to the figure before he stopped, turned around and said: "Okay, we're here. Wait here." He took a few steps forward and nodded towards the figures.  No one spoke, and the three figures raised the black sticks in their hands in unison.  The person among them solemnly took out a square box-shaped object from his arms. I don't know what mechanism she triggered. There was only a "click" and a flame sprayed out from the top of the box.  The three people stretched out the sticks in their hands towards the flames one after another. The three sticks suddenly turned into three torches, and the blazing fire lit up the night sky.

    By the light of the fire, people could clearly see the girls¡¯ clothes.  The gray dress was tightly wrapped from head to toe, with a moon-white turned-up collar and a gray headscarf with a large white border.  The whole outfit is simple yet mysterious.  Coupled with the added solemnity brought by the uniform, it is even more difficult to think of blasphemy.

    After lighting the torch, no one spoke.  Four girls, lotus root, cardamom, clove, and aloe vera, lined up in a row with expressionless faces.  They turned a blind eye to the tense and breathless crowd in front of them.  Eight eyes crossed the heads of everyone, all casting towards the distant and boundless sky.  The dark night sky, the uniform and mysterious uniforms, and the torches lit for no reason, all made the already solid atmosphere even more solemn.
