Chapter 408 Aftershock
Chapter 408 Aftershock
The cargo ship was tossed by the waves on the river bank, like a puppet without control, allowed to be pulled into any shape by the wind.
In winter, the sun rises slightly east-southeast. From afar, a layer of golden mist rises above the vast river.
Later in the evening, when the fog was blown away by the river breeze, one could see a broad road with golden ripples, flowing out from the vast land.
The sun is out, it's time to get ready.
After the captain Fang Zhiyong came out of the container, his body transformed into a zombie. Even if he slept in a strange position, he would not feel sore or numb.
When you wake up in the morning, you won’t have bad breath brewing in your stomach;
The body's metabolic rate has dropped to an extremely slow level, and there will be no sour smell even if you don't take a shower;
But his hair quickly withered and became like weeds. It was obvious at a glance that something was wrong, so he had to use hair oil to disguise it.
The boat had passed through the artificial canal yesterday and was now in the Dacang River. Once in the wide open area, the river wind became even more unbridled, but fortunately, the zombies were not afraid of the cold.
This was the first year and the first voyage of Fang Zhiyong's five-year agreement. It wasn't great, but overall it wasn't bad either.
After the divorce, the daughter was raised by her grandmother. She was very obedient and sensible in front of herself, but she became naughty when she was in front of the two elderly people.
The old man couldn't bear to scold or spank her, so the child became even more naughty. She'd finally filled a water jar with water, but she'd blow it up with a single firecracker. She was as naughty as a little boy.
When she was a little younger, her grandmother would always carry her on her back wherever she went, and her feet would never touch the ground.
Because of this, before we divorced, my wife always said that my grandmother spoiled the child. Every time my wife wanted to teach her a lesson, my grandmother would come over and intercede, making my wife's teachings useless.
Everything will be fine after divorce.
One doesn’t have to worry about being beaten, and the other never has to be beaten again.
When Fang Zhiyong stood on the deck, the first ray of sunlight shone on his face. Many things "buzzed" and exploded in his mind!
It felt like a body bag that had been wrapped around him for a long time was suddenly torn open.
He saw things coming and going and felt the fresh air outside.
This boat,
The people on this boat,
These five-year periods one after another,
And, the mother and daughter who have long since passed away.
He was 47 years old, a true veteran captain. He had a daughter when he was in his twenties. But why, after so many five-year contracts, could he not see through them?
Every freight bill has the order number and date written on it. Every time I look in the mirror, I can see my aging face.
But why do I always miss every critical moment?
He remembered that right after he divorced his wife, he liked to drink and his daughter often came to persuade him.
Later, he finally managed to pull himself together and started working on a ship to earn a living for his children.
After her mother died, the child followed her ex-wife, but the ex-wife was already married, and the stepfather was not kind to his daughter.
The daughter's originally domineering personality was suppressed and turned into depression in her stepfather's home.
I vaguely remember one time when his daughter called him and he asked her how she was doing, but she remained silent. When she was about to hang up, she choked up and said:
"Dad, they treated me badly."
At that moment, his heart was broken.
At that time, his daughter was already twelve or thirteen years old. He took her back to his parents' old house. He found a security job nearby. Although his income was barely enough, at least he could take care of his daughter.
Every time after get off work, he likes to drink some wine and eat some braised food.
But braised dishes, especially meat dishes, are very expensive.
Since then, my daughter often went out to pick up unwanted tin sheets, saying that she wanted to save up a certain amount so that she could weld them into a tin cart to sell braised food and make money from it.
Later, I was selected and signed a five-year contract with Langligelang without knowing why.
This contract is for three five-year terms.
Daughter—she should be a grown-up girl now, right?
I don’t know how it is now.
She has had no one to take care of her since she was a teenager.
The reason he remembered everything was because the guy who restricted his soul and body was dead.
However, at this moment, he actually hoped that the guy could hold on for a few more days, even just a day or half a day, so that he could confirm his daughter's current situation.
But it was too late. His will was failing, his body was withering.
A huge feeling of weariness enveloped him, and as the waves swayed, he gradually sank into the endless darkness with all the suffering he had endured in this life.

Landscape courtyard.
In the morning, the sunlight shines through the rockery and rocks in the mountain and water courtyard, leaving behind mottled light and shadows. It must be said that it is very elegant.
This was thanks to Chi Ping not destroying the entire manor with one punch yesterday.
Zhang Xueru looked a little dazed, still in disbelief and self-doubt.
Last night, after turning Teng Ku's head into a paste, the first words Chi Ping and Zhang Xueru said were:
"Okay, now let's kill an S-rank together."
Zhang Xueru was shocked at the time. He waved his hands repeatedly and denied it flatly:
"You forced me to do that. I didn't, and I couldn't kill—"
But he was quickly interrupted by Chi Ping, who was wearing an executioner's mask: "Do you think a chief consul is important in the eyes of S-class?
"Even if they were forced to do this, given the way they treat their subordinates, is it possible that they would let you go?"
This time, it was Zhang Xueru's turn to remain silent.
In fact, although vendettas between S-class are rare, they do exist.
Normally, an S-class wouldn't care about the fight between two other S-classes, as long as it didn't involve their own interests. However, if a little white mouse attempted to kill a god, it would be a great disrespect for the god.
God will destroy him.
Just like when you hear someone was killed by a dog on the street, even if it's a stranger, everyone will automatically side with the person, not the dog.
"You, what do you want me to do?" It was only at this moment that Zhang Xueru, who was still wrapped in bandages, mustered up the courage to ask Chi Ping.
He spent the whole night to adjust his mentality.
I have to say, it's useless.
"I just want to get some information from you." Chi Ping said, and a smile could be heard in his voice.
"Excuse me."
"How much do you know about Siwon?" Chi Ping asked.
"Lord Siwon?" Zhang Xueru was silent for a while, thinking about the words: "Lord Siwon is the most benevolent, kindest, and longest-lasting S-rank!"
"Oh? Please elaborate."
"Lord Siwon is different from Lord Fuji. Lord Siwon values life more than any S-class I've ever met.
“Although he occasionally uses humans for experiments, compared to the other adults, this is already pretty good.
"When the other adults went too far, Siwon-sama would intervene to dissuade them. Even if his dissuasion wasn't always successful, he was able to save some people."
Chi Ping thought for a moment and asked the question that concerned him most: "Siwon, is he interfering with the federal government's decision-making?"
This question is very important. In the world beyond the boundary gate, the Overseer Origin basically does not interfere with the operation of this world except for clearing "loopholes" and "errors."
Zhang Xueru pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Shiyuan sometimes gives guidance on some of the Federation's decisions."
In other words, Siwon was interfering with federal decision-making.
"There's one more thing I need to tell you." Zhang Xueru said, "Usually, newly promoted S-class who pass the exams will meet with the other S-class to renegotiate the distribution of the entire world.
"Now, it just so happens that Master Teng has been killed by you. This meeting is probably imminent."
Want to meet the origin of this world? Chi Ping frowned: "When?"
"Usually—immediate departure."
Zhang Xueru said respectfully.
