My ship girl, my world.

Chapter 5 The Unforgettable Past
As night fell, an elderly woman pushed open the old shop door, but what she saw made her very annoyed, "Old Wan, how dare you drink? You don't want to live anymore?"

On the rocking chair in front of the woman, Lao Wan no longer had the smile he had at noon, and now his face was ashen, holding a bottle of white wine in his hand, and his body was full of the smell of alcohol.On the stool next to him, Qin Ge was sitting there in an orderly manner, but his messy hair and bloody nose looked a little embarrassed.

"Xiao Qin, what's the matter with you, did you get beaten?" The woman also ignored Lao Wan, and hurried to Qin Ge, stroking his face and asking.

Qin Ge suppressed an ugly smile, "No, I bumped into it myself."

"Hmph, what a fart, how could bumping into that? That's what I did!" Lao Wan who was at the side heard Qin Ge's lie, jumped up from the rocking chair, pointed at him and said.

"Old Wan, you've grown up, haven't you? Ah! You're drinking and beating Xiao Qin again today, are you tired of living?" The old woman stood up and pointed at Lao Wan's nose and cursed.

If it was normal, Lao Wan might be scared when he met his wife like this, but today is different.He pointed at Qin Ge and said, "Ask what good thing this little bastard has done? Ah! Going to be that shit's commander! Ah, that thing is good to be? Instead of letting him die outside, it's better to die now Let me kill him, at least, others will know where he is buried!"

When Lao Wan roared and said these words, the old woman took a trembling step back and sighed, "Old Wan, it's been so many years, I should have forgotten..."

"Forget, how could you forget? Did you just forget?" Lao Wan's voice suddenly choked up, and he yelled angrily, "Ah, it's all me, if I interrupted him when he was going I can still support him for the rest of his life if he becomes permanently disabled. What about now? It’s been more than ten years, and even the dead body is lost. How do you want me to forget! And him!"

Lao Wan pointed at the bewildered Qin Ge with trembling hands, and roared, "Ah, we've been together for more than a month, and just formed a relationship, so you tell me that you're going to be that shit's commander? Isn't that right?" Is it a crime? Even if a kitten or dog dies, people will be sad, but now a living person is going to die, can I ignore it? It’s good if I don’t kill him!” After Lao Wan finished speaking, he let out a series of violent words. coughed, and then sat on the rocking chair a little weakly, looking at the sky blankly.

"Ah...a crime..." The old woman sighed at the calm old Wan, then turned to Qin Ge and said, "Xiao Qin, don't blame your Uncle Wan, speaking of this matter... ...Ah...you come with me."

Qin Ge stood up quickly, and followed the old lady's footsteps into the back room.After crossing the house where the old couple usually lived, the two came to a door. The old woman opened the door with a heavy expression, and turned on the light, revealing what was inside.

The room was similar to the room Qin Ge lived in now, with simple decorations, a bed, a set of tables and chairs, and a wardrobe.But on that table, there was a photo frame, and inside the photo frame was a black and white photo.

The old woman walked in, went to the table, took the black and white photo in her hand, and said to Qin Ge who was following behind him, "This is my eldest son, and he is also a commander, but since he left , In addition to sending back a photo and a few letters, there is nothing else. When we learned about him again, it was a suicide note sent by the Maritime Safety Administration. They said it was written by my son before, because Every commander will prepare a suicide note in advance. After reaching the sea, he does not know what kind of danger will happen, so he is prepared for any danger. But the body is gone. It is said that he was buried in the sea with his ship wife... "

As the old woman spoke, tears gradually flowed down her cheeks. Standing behind the old woman's back, Qin Ge didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only slowly stroke the old woman's back to calm her down.

After a while, the old woman finally calmed down and smiled, "But he is an excellent commander. Once he wrote a letter and said that he saved a ship of people. At that time Lao Wan was very proud among the neighbors, saying that his son was so good and so good, and his tail could go up to the sky. Also, once he wrote a letter back..."

Qin Ge listened to the old woman's words, and responded to her from time to time, with mixed feelings in his heart.Looking at the old woman with gray temples, he couldn't help but want to say that I won't go.

But at that moment, the librarian's words rang in his ears, "Since you found what you were looking for, don't lose it, or if you want to find it again, don't know How much time will it take?"

Yes, I have been confused for long enough, now that I have found my goal, I must not lose it.

……

……

Time passed very slowly tonight, it was only around nine o'clock when Qin Ge returned to his room after washing up.While packing his things, he was thinking about how to say goodbye to the old couple. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Here we come." Qin Ge opened the door in response, but saw Lao Wan standing at his door with a serious face.

When he opened the door, Lao Wan glanced into the room, and then said to Qin Ge, "Why, pack up so quickly? Are you going to leave overnight?"

"No way." Qin Ge said with a smile.

"Laugh!" Lao Wan rolled his eyes at Qin Ge, then sighed, "Do you know how to drink?"

"Yes... a little..." Qin Ge said hesitantly. After all, the military academy prohibits alcohol, but is it reasonable for soldiers not to drink?so……

"It will be, the big man is always talking about it." Lao Wan reprimanded, and then his tone eased, "Your aunt has prepared a few dishes, and have a drink with me."

"Okay!" Qin Ge quickly closed the door, followed Lao Wan to the center of the courtyard, and sure enough, the aunt had already prepared some special dishes, and there was a bottle of wine on the table that was not finished yet.

"Sit!" After Lao Wan sat down, he said to Qin Ge who was still standing by the table.

"Yes!" Qin Ge quickly sat down, opened the wine on the table, and poured a glass for Lao Wan and himself.

"When are you going to leave tomorrow?" Lao Wan looked at the wine Qin Ge poured for himself, and said with a long sigh.

"Morning, Wan Lao, you know, there is a boat to Shenhua City in the morning." Qin Ge looked at Lao Wan and said.

"Old Wan!" Lao Wan rolled his eyes at Qin Ge, "I really want to break your leg."

"I will come back alive!" Qin Ge looked at Lao Wan and said firmly.

"Get out, you know I don't want to hear this!" Lao Wan slapped the table and shouted. Finally, he raised his glass and said to Qin Ge, "I don't want you to come back, I just want you to live!"

"Well, I will definitely live! I will definitely live a good life!" Qin Ge picked up the wine glass, bumped it heavily with Lao Wan, and then they drank it down in one gulp.

It may be because Lao Wan drank a lot of wine in the afternoon, and after drinking with Qin Ge for a while, he fell down on the table and passed out.Seeing this, Qin Ge could only shake his head, and helped Lao Wan back to his room.

Coming out of the back room, Qin Ge drank the remaining wine with a smile, cleaned up the table by the way, returned to the room, and continued to pack his luggage...
