Chapter 167 Madman

Anna, who was sitting aside, pulled Charles' clothes with her hands. "Gao Zhiming, why did the tattoo on your neck disappear?"

Charles put down the rice bowl in his hand, ripped off his clothes, and found that the dead spider-like tattoo inside had really disappeared.

"Jiajia, didn't you make this thing?"

"Why did I do it, don't talk nonsense, I don't know how to do this kind of thing."

While the two were talking, the food was already set, and the family began to eat happily.

Various delicacies were put into his mouth with chopsticks, and Charles chewed vigorously. He never thought that simple meals could be so delicious.

"If only my crew were here." The thought flashed through Charles' mind.

"Ding dong" the doorbell rang, and when Charles walked over and opened the door, all the crew members of the Narwhal were outside, and the bright sunshine was shining on their equally bright smiling faces.

"Dipper, Bandage, James, you...why are you here?"

"Captain! We came up to find you." Dipper excitedly gave Charles a hug.

"Mr. Charles, you've been away for so long, we miss you so much, is this your home? Your home is so beautiful!" Excited Lily quickly climbed up her trouser legs.

With so many people, the small table obviously couldn't sit down. Fortunately, there is a large round table at home. When the round table is placed on it, a large group of people are immediately full.

There was constant laughter at the banquet, and everyone at the banquet continued to congratulate Charles for escaping from the Earth Sea. All the people in the banquet were smiling. Family members, companions, and women were all by his side at this moment. Charles had never felt so happy.

"Crack" A leg of the stool under Charles suddenly broke, and Charles fell to the ground, and the sound disappeared instantly.

Charles looked at everyone's eyes, he waved his hands again and again, propped himself up on the ground with one hand, and stood up directly.

"It's okay, it's okay, the quality of this stool is a bit poor, let's keep eating, Su Ling, bring a bottle of Coke over here."

The reunion dinner continued, Lily jumped to Charles's table, looked up and said: "Mr. Charles, after dinner, can you take me out to play? I want to watch a movie, and I also want a mobile phone."

A smiling Charles took her in his hands and stroked her little head. "No problem, I'll take you to have fun, not to mention a mobile phone, I'll give you as many as you want!"

———————————————

At the very edge of the Hefang port area, at the door of a dilapidated house less than one meter away, a wrinkled, haggard woman in her forties leaned on the edge of the door, looking worriedly towards the direction of the port.

In the room behind her, there is a pair of thirteen or fourteen-year-old siblings who are skillfully weaving fishnets. Their hands were cut with blood by the rough fishing nets, but the speed is not slow at all. .

"Mom, it looks like brother won't be back today." The older sister put down her work and said to the old woman.

"Alas..." The sorrow on the woman's face deepened, she turned around and joined her children's work.

"Mom, what should we do with the shark meat? It's the third day, and it will definitely stink after the night." The younger brother, who was a little immature, asked.

After a few seconds of hesitation, the woman walked towards the table.

"I sent it to the lunatics over there. After all, it's for food. It's a pity to just throw it away."

The old woman picked up a plate of fish with a few blowflies on the table, stooped and walked out the door.

She took the plate of things and walked to the street a few hundred meters away.

There were a few lunatics squatting in the corner next to them, speaking insane words that were difficult for others to understand, and no one on the road cared about them.

When the woman dumped the fish in the basin on the ground, those lunatics swarmed up. They scrambled indiscriminately with their dirty hands.

There was still a piece left in the woman's hand. She looked around and found that there was another lunatic curled up in the darkest and filthiest corner.

She walked over and handed over the fish in her hand. "Eat it, you don't grab it every time, and you don't know how long you can live."

The ragged, disheveled, filthy lunatic stretched out his only remaining right hand and took the fish. "Elizabeth, thank you."

Seeing the lunatic in front of her swallowing the fish, the woman sighed, "Oh, I don't know what you're talking about. You're a hard-working person. Live every day. It's better to live than to die."

While the woman was talking, she seemed to have discovered something. She tore off the collar of the lunatic in front of her with her hands, and saw the black tattoo on his neck that was mixed with dirt.

There was a creature somewhere between a spider and an octopus, some of its tentacles splayed and had spread to the madman's face, wriggling as he chewed. "What is this?"

Suddenly the lunatic stopped chewing, and he said slowly to the woman, "Jia Jia, didn't you make this thing?"

The woman shook her head and stood up, "Stop talking crazy, eat, eat more, or you will be snatched away by other lunatics."

"Dipper, Bandage, James, you...why are you here?" The lunatic stood up with a look of surprise.

The woman looked at him with a complicated expression. "Some people say you crazy people see things that others don't. Can you see the ghost of my husband Kevin?"

"Come and come, so many people can't sit down, the big round table is in that house, let's move the table."

"If you see Kevin, ask him for me, why do you have to go to sea, why do you have to leave us behind, why haven't you heard anything back after so many years, doesn't he know that I have three children by myself? How difficult is it?" As she spoke, the woman's eye sockets became moist.

At this time, a young man in his early twenties suddenly rushed out from the side. He stepped on the lunatic, kicked him out, and shouted angrily: "I'm so tired of working! How dare you bully me!" mother!!"

The lunatic propped himself up on the ground with one hand and stood up straight away. "It's okay, it's okay, the quality of this stool is a bit poor, let's keep eating, Su Ling, bring a bottle of Coke over here."

"West, what are you doing!" The woman hurriedly stopped him and rushed over, stomping on the lunatic's eldest son.

West looked at his mother nervously, "Did that lunatic treat you just now?"

"What are you talking about, just now I just gave some fish meat that was about to go bad to these lunatics to eat."

After West glanced at the one-armed lunatic who continued to devour the fish, he pulled his mother and walked towards the crumbling house. "Mother, let's go home first, I have something for you."

As they left, the madman was still there shouting loudly: "Lily be careful, be careful of the car."
