Chapter Ninety-Nine: Disguise and Kindness


Mariner lies in a separate ward, which is a privileged treatment as a survivor.Marliner remembered his performance just now, and proudly drew an arc on the corner of his mouth.Mariner had been pretending to be unconscious, allowing the medical staff to perform a basic examination on him.Mariner knew very well that he was not injured at all, so he obediently had the stains on his body wiped off by the nurse and put on new clothes.It wasn't until Malin heard that someone from the security team was coming, that Malin made a pretended painful appearance and opened his eyes after a shock."

Ah, there are so many flies," Marliner waved his hand and scratched in the air, with a panicked expression on his face.The members of the security team on the side immediately stepped forward to comfort the cunning Marin and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you're safe." ”Ma Liner grabbed the hands of the security team members around him and said loudly, "Flies, the sky is full of flies, and a lot of people have been eaten" "I know, I know, you are not easy.Get some rest," the vigilante said helplessly.Marliner let go of his hand, curled up, and covered his ears with the palms of both hands, "The sky is full of flies, buzzing." ”The more he said this, the softer he said, but he kept repeating it, creating the impression that Mariner was in post-traumatic sequelae for the security guards in front of him."

The more nervous you are at this time, the more you can fight for better treatment and create a better image for yourself.Hey, hey, hey. ”Marin said secretly with joy in his heart.As early as arranging this game of chess, Maliner had already thought about what to do next."

At present, all I need to do is to make a nervous breakdown, presumably these adults will not coerce a confession from me as a child, and the information that comes out of my mouth will be more convincing to them."

And everything was just as Marliner had calculated, and the vigilantes did not embarrass him, but let him rest.Just as the vigilantes were about to leave the room, Mariner shouted, "This must have been done by the gloomy Angus, yes, it must be him" Regardless of whether Angus is still alive or not, but except for Chobuterrand and Tristenie, who have recently been in contact with Angus, the withdrawn Angus has basically not communicated with anyone else, and he is the best scapegoat.This sentence stunned the security guards who were exiting the door, and then immediately turned back anxiously and asked, "You say it again" "Angus is tall and big, Angus, he is alone all day long, everyone must be him" Marin shouted hysterically, making a crazy look, and then immediately lowered his head and covered his head in the quilt, holding the back of his head with both hands.Although he made a gesture of crying, Mariner did not shed tears, and his body trembled slightly because he was smiling with his face covering the quilt, laughing wildly."

Angus, I see, you can rest."

The vigilante replied.With that, he closed the door and went to report on the information he had obtained.The finger of all this is now pointed at the innocent Angus."

Baby, wake up."

The wrinkled and gray-haired old fisherman patted Angus in the face with his hand and pinched his face.Angus woke up from the rocky beach in a daze, and he felt that his body was covered with wounds, large and small, from bruises, scratches, and entanglements from the strange creature.These wounds are now scorching pain, and the most uncomfortable thing is the tightness in the chest.As he came to his senses, Angus saw the old fisherman in front of him.The old fisherman wears a domed sunhat made of straw on his head, a straw basket on his back, and a long fishing rod in his hand.The burning sensation from his lungs caused Angus's first reaction to turn his head sideways and cough violently.The old fisherman guessed that Angus was probably overboard when he saw that he was soaking wet and coughing now, so he turned Angus over and slapped him on the back a few times.Angus coughed up the few remnants of the river water and gasped weakly, the warm sunlight shining on him to drive away the cold."

You still have the strength, I'll help you to my hut, you have enough wounds on your body, I'll help you bandage it."

After saying that, the old fisherman walked slowly with Angus, and Angus politely replied with a thank you.The old fisherman took Angus to his hut and settled down, helped him to a chair, ground him with local herbs, and applied it to Angus's wound.Then I was going to make a bowl of fish soup with the fish caught today, salt and white pepper to warm Angus's body."

If you're lucky, I've got a few plump catfish, and these shrimp."

The old fisherman proudly showed Angus today's harvest, and the straw basket was filled with fresh and lively fish and shrimp."

Thank you to the river god for always feeding us with his own children and grandchildren.Otherwise, those of us who feed off the fish from the river will be out of luck. ”Angus tilted his head and asked questioningly, "The river god" is under the propaganda of the Holy Light Society and the Jishi Society, and most people only know the Holy Light, and only a few folklore mentions the local gods."

Oh, if you're not in our village, you won't know the story of the river god.It is said that many, many years ago, this was not a river, until the river god once used the power of moving mountains and seas to suppress an evil existence with our Danube River when he drove away evil.And the children and grandchildren of the river god have incarnated our specialty, the Danube six-whiskered fish, to feed us people.I don't reject the light's theory of salvation, but as people living by the river, we naturally believe in the river gods who provide for us and take care of us. ”The old fisherman patiently explained.Most of the young people in the village have come to believe in the Light, and the legend of the river god is slowly beginning to be forgotten.With the development of the times, the young people in the village are more eager to live in the city, and these local flavors have been eliminated one after another.The old fisherman was very happy today, and it was rare for a young man to listen to his chatter, and it was a story about the river god.The old fisherman's two sons have moved to work in the towns of Umur, and now he lives a self-sufficient life in the village without worrying about food and drink.Occasionally, going fishing and exchanging these river fresheners with merchants for daily necessities is enough for such an old man.The plump six-whiskered catfish are all ingredients loved by the upper class society in Umur City, so today is considered to be a lot of money, and the old man's mood is naturally very good; Coupled with the fact that he has lived alone for a long time and his two sons do not often go home to visit, the old fisherman is inevitably a little lonely.
