Chapter 38 I am upset
Chapter 38 I am sad
When Cheng Xi opened her eyes again, she saw a snow-white ceiling and the air was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant. She was wearing the iconic blue and white hospital gown and lying on a hospital bed with an IV drip.
She felt weak and exhausted, as if there was a fire burning in her body. She felt very uncomfortable. Her lips were dry and peeling, and her throat was thirsty and itchy. She subconsciously shouted, "Water."
Her movements were too big and she accidentally pulled the infusion tube in her hand, causing blood to return and the needle to roll back. The bottom section of the transparent thin tube turned red, and Cheng Xi had to slow down her movements.
"That's great, Miss Cheng Xi, you finally woke up." Hearing her voice, the nurse who was watching over her was obviously happy. She quickly poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her, "Be careful not to choke."
Cheng Xi took the cup of water and raised her head to drink the whole cup of water. Only then did the dryness in her throat ease a little and she felt much more comfortable.
The nurse took her temperature and found that she was no longer having a high fever. Then she told Cheng Xi that she had been in a coma for six days, including the time she had been sailing in the sea.
Due to the great mental shock, a large amount of blood surged up, and the brain was deprived of oxygen and fainted directly. In addition, various other reasons caused her body to be disordered and she had a high fever. However, her condition has improved and she only needs to stay in the hospital for two more days before she can be discharged. After hearing this, Cheng Xi did feel a headache. Although her body was weak and fragile when she just crossed over, after decades of devilish training in the navy, even Lin Daiyu could have trained to have a physique like Lin Chong. She went through ice and fire and was extremely healthy. How could she suddenly have a fever and be in a coma for six days?
The flames that burned every inch of O'Hara Island before she fell into a coma gradually appeared in her mind, but there was another more cruel flame that complemented it. The
more she thought about it, the more her head hurt. In the end, she forced herself to exclude all these bad memories from her mind and not think about them.
At this time, the door of the ward opened. It was the adoptive mother Elsa who came with Yushula and Rosinante to visit Cheng Xi. Seeing that she woke up, they were all happy. They put fruits and carefully cooked soup on the table and asked about her physical condition and whether she was feeling uncomfortable.
In order not to worry the elders, Cheng Xi suppressed all her negative emotions. She was obviously very sad, but she still forced a stiff smile, saying that she was just too tired recently and she would be fine after two more days of rest. Don't worry, she will take good care of herself.
Elsa gave a lot of instructions before leaving, but Yushula and Rosinante did not leave. They were still sitting in front of the bed. They were all poor people with unhappy childhoods. They were sensitive and delicate in their hearts. How could they not see her pretending to be strong? Rosinante
looked at her friend who had a dull expression on the bed and had no energy at all. It
was as empty and desperate as an empty cocoon shell that a moth had drilled out of.
"Cheng Xi, I told you at that time that you can come to me and tell me if you have sad things in the future." Rosinante spoke slowly, his tone was steady, not like a sixteen-year-old child, "Tell me all the grievances you have suffered, or cry and vent, don't keep it in your heart."
Cheng Xi finally had the courage to look his friend in the eye. A sour feeling surged in his heart. He sniffed and his voice became tearful: "But everyone thinks this is right. I am neurotic and making a fuss."
"That proves that everyone is shit." Yushula's tone was not calm, "First of all, I want to say that I will always favor you, and secondly, they really went too far in this matter."
Rosinante: "Cheng Xi, you are right."
He smiled comfortingly: "Don't listen to them, I only listen to you."
"Woo woo woo, I know this is a cold-blooded and cruel world, but I just want to save more people. I want more people to live well, without slaves and killing. Everyone laughs at me for being idealistic, making a fuss, and having wild ideas." "
But I used to live this kind of life!"
Grievances, sadness, sadness, these negative and pessimistic emotions all emerged, and she could no longer hide them, making her at a loss, so she had to vent them with loud cries and howls.
In fact, a long time ago, she did not have such a strong sense of justice. The word hero always carries the tragic feeling of sacrificing one's life for justice. She has never experienced any major setbacks in her life. She is afraid of death, pain, and loneliness. She is the last among her classmates in swordsmanship. She always loses gold beans because she can't remember the spells. She even wanted to secretly puncture the teacher's tires at the end of school, although this idea was not put into action.
Countless times in the middle of the night, she was afraid. If she was not strong, did not know swordsmanship, and was just an ordinary college student with no martial arts value, what would be the ending after crossing into this world?
Would she die in the gunfight on Mis Island, be robbed of her property by cruel pirates, or be abducted by human traffickers and become a miserable slave? Or working hard every day but still not being able to fill your stomach and then being regarded as a "useless pariah"
is a chilling life. Just thinking about it makes you tremble with fear.
Because I feel their pain and understand their hardships, I want to help more people.
Do ordinary people have to be made of pain and tears? The education she received since childhood was "water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it" and "work for the welfare of the people." The daily life she experienced since childhood was that her friends wailed in the group every day and hoped that the world would explode and the universe would be destroyed. In fact, if she felt a little uncomfortable, she would immediately have a physical examination and look forward to her parents making dinner for her.
But in this world, the lives of ordinary people are really worthless.
For example, the residents of O'Hara, what did they do wrong to be bombarded and lose their lives for no reason? If it was just to destroy those scholars who studied history, he would not accept it but understand it. Kindness does not rule the army, and... Sauro, what was Kuzan thinking at the time?
Cheng Xi said a lot of things, her nose and tears were all over her face, and her expression was ugly, but she didn't care at all. In the end, she didn't even know what she was saying.
Anyway, someone was willing to listen to her pain, someone understood her twists and turns, that was enough.
There are eight or nine things in life that are not satisfactory, and having friends by your side is also a bit of satisfaction. After telling her grievances, Cheng Xi felt a little better, and then tried her best to forget these memories.
Rosinante and Yusura just listened to her pain quietly.
From the sunset to the moon, Cheng Xi felt that if they were not by her side today, she might be like the villain in the movie and then blow up Marinford.
The next day, she went through the discharge procedures directly, and then asked Steel Bone Sora for a two-month leave. Unlike the last time she went to find the historical text, this time she was really exhausted physically and mentally, and wanted to go out for a trip and relax. Of course, she also wanted to leave the suffocating environment of the headquarters first.
She couldn't help vomiting when she saw the white flag with the seagull logo.
Ganggukong approved her leave very straightforwardly, and specifically told Cheng Xi to take care of her health and have a good rest.
Back at the apartment, Cheng Xi simply packed a few sets of clothes and daily necessities, checked the water and electricity again, closed the doors and windows, and pulled her suitcase out after making sure there were no omissions. She bought a random boat ticket and set sail in two hours, with the destination being Pukki, the "food capital".
When she arrived at the port, there were still eight minutes before the departure time, and most of the passengers had already boarded the ship, leaving only a few who were afraid of being late, and hurried to the ferry.
At this time, a warship came from the sea in the distance, arrived at the shore, and began to drop anchor. Kuzan took off his blindfold and looked around. Suddenly, he saw the girl he had been worried about these days handing the ticket to the ticket inspector on the shore.
Her body has not fully recovered yet, her face is pale, and she is wearing a black windbreaker that reaches her ankles. The wind at the seaside is very strong and cold, blowing all the time, messing up her black hair and outlining her ink-colored face. Cheng Xi tightened his windbreaker and was about to step onto the boat, but suddenly heard someone calling his name in the distance.
"Cheng Xi." Kuzan jumped off the boat and teleported to her side out of thin air, with deep concern in his tone, "How is your body?"
Cheng Xi shook off his hand, tried to control his emotions, and tried to calm down: "Thank you for your concern, I have recovered."
"The wind is strong at the seaside, where are you going by boat?"
Cheng Xi ignored his question, or was evading. At this time, the ticket inspector urged Cheng Xi to move faster because the boat was about to start.
He anxiously wanted to explain: "It's not what you think. This is an order from the World Government and the Navy's top brass, and Sauro..."
"Vice Admiral Kuzan, please make way. I have to hurry." Cheng Xi's tone was flat and distant, and he went up the gangway without looking back.
This unfamiliar address made Kuzan stunned in place, looking at her back in a trance, as if falling into an ice storage. Didn't she even want to listen to his own explanation?
Then if she knew the truth in the future and knew that Sauro was not dead, would she still resolutely go her separate ways with him?
After a while, the cross sail fluttered in the wind, waves surged on the sea, and the passenger ship sailed out of the port. Cheng Xi suddenly realized that his quarrel was different from the idol drama that he had complained about before, where the male protagonist hysterically said, "Listen to my explanation," and the female protagonist insisted on covering her ears and said, "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen," shaking her head like a rattle, and then misunderstanding more than ten episodes.
She ran from the cabin to the back of the ship, holding the railing, waving and shouting loudly: "Hey, Kuzan!"
Hearing her call, Kuzan was delighted and looked up at the passenger ship.
"I'm in a bad mood now, so I can't listen to anything. I need to go out and relax. When I come back, we will have a good chat and communicate effectively to resolve all these misunderstandings!"
Hearing this, all the clouds of sorrow in the heart of the man standing on the shore dissipated in an instant, and a smile unconsciously rose on his lips: "Princess Xixi, have a safe journey and come back soon."
Cheng Xi: "Goodbye!"
She will definitely be able to adjust these negative emotions when they meet next time.
Kuzan: "Goodbye."
They will be reconciled next time they meet.
Originally, Cheng Xi's ideal travel routine was delicious food, beautiful scenery, and feeling the fireworks and all living beings in the surging crowd. But because there were strangers on the ship, the days of sailing on the sea were really boring, and she wanted to count her fingers to live. When she arrived at the food capital, her original enthusiasm had long been half exhausted, and the life she wanted most was to find a hotel to sleep for three days and three nights.
Unfortunately, her dream of a good night's sleep was not realized. Every time before falling asleep, she would think of the tragic scene of that day in her mind, so every night she could only turn on the lights, or draw the curtains and try to do other things by moonlight, such as reading and exercising to divert her energy.
Over time, she felt that her nerves were disordered. After staying up all night again, Cheng Xi witnessed the sunrise from the window of the hotel. Her stomach was growling and she was a little hungry, so she washed and packed up again, planning to go out to buy some food. She followed the guide given by the boss and walked to the door of the breakfast street recommended by everyone. Just when she was about to buy some food to feast on, she saw a familiar figure.
Black short hair, burgundy patterned shirt, black knife with a heavy flower T-shaped back, and a pair of golden eyes as sharp as an eagle. From the appearance alone, he looks like a noble and elegant celebrity aristocrat, but from the awe-inspiring aura that he exudes, it can be seen that he is definitely a first-class master.
It's daunting and I dare not approach.
At this moment, he still exuded a faint smell of blood.
From a distance, Cheng Xi greeted him: "Long time no see, Mihawk."
Mihawk had just finished a battle and was about to leave the island. He happened to see the old friend who had not seen him for a long time waving at him.
They looked at each other through the crowd, and Mihawk replied: "Long time no see, Cheng Xi."
The two walked towards each other at the same time, stopped when they were about one meter apart, felt the breath coming from each other, and spoke almost at the same time.
"You don't look very well, are you sick?"
"You smell of blood, did you fight?"
They answered at almost the same time.
"I'm well."
"I won."
Cheng Xi sighed: "What a coincidence, I can meet you on so many islands in the sea."
"Are you hungry? Do you want to have breakfast with me?"
When she said this, Mihawk suddenly realized that he was a little hungry, so he gave up the idea of leaving the island now and nodded to agree to her proposal.
"Okay."
"Then let's go, together." After saying that, she jumped directly into the food street.
After entering this street, Cheng Xi realized what a right choice it was to bring Mihawk with him. Pukki is truly worthy of its reputation as the capital of food. The food here is tempting and mouth-watering. Taiyaki, small balls, grilled sea beast meat, grilled squid, Cheng Xi wants to eat each one, but he can't make a clone just for the food. At this time, Mihawk's appearance seems particularly timely.
Cheng Xi's very useful queuing tool.
