Chapter 47 Black Shadow
"Every time a man sees her, new injuries often appear on her face and hands."
When Hai Jianshi said this, Hai Han and Hai Yin had already put down their bowls and listened attentively to their father's story about this experience.
"This..." Hai Han asked, "Is it her husband? He beat him?"
"Everyone in the town knows this. The man drunkenly and turned into a devil when he drinks. Every time he sees her say a few more words to the opposite sex, he will fist and kick together, and he will not be able to do anything."
Hai Yin immediately said: "Domestic violence men... deserve to die!"
Hai Hanze asked, "Dad, what about later?"
"later……"
Hai Jianshi continued: "The young man was heartbroken. He saw the physical and mental pain of a woman and wanted to help her, but he had no status. Even if she told her parents, her parents would let her bear it. It was very common for her husband to beat his wife, just like me, and it was not a big deal. Moreover, this drunk husband's family still has a certain power in the town. He has many strong brothers, and his mother-in-law is also very tough. She relied on loan sharks and asked her sons to violently collect debts. What's more, it was an era when divorce was not as common as today. If a woman divorced, it would be very difficult for her to remarry."
"How could this happen..." Hai Han murmured: "Domestic violence is illegal..."
"Even now, many people still believe that domestic violence is a family matter. Many women also choose to accept it, and even feel that they have done something wrong."
Speaking of this, Hai Jianshi said: "And because of the contact between the young man and her, she was beaten by her alcoholic husband even more cruelly. At that time, she was beaten to pieces and her right hand was even broken..."
Hai Han discovered that when his father said this, his hands were trembling, and his eyes were even bloodshot.
"Dad, you..."
"She finally couldn't bear it anymore and proposed a divorce. Although the idea of divorce had long been around, she dared to say these two words for the first time in front of this violent husband."
Hai Jianshi's fists were clenched tightly, and his nails even pierced into the flesh.
"As a result, the demon actually said that if she dared to divorce him for a young man, then he would kill her and that lover with his brothers who usually lend money to usury! They would never be reborn!"
Hearing this, Hai Han understood.
This is a story that once happened on the island.
Even if a murdered person is buried in the sea, he will not be able to get the opportunity to be reincarnated.
This is the true meaning of the saying "Never be reborn"!
"What about later...?" Hai Han asked.
"Later...she decided to elope with the young man... no, she was committing love."
Um?
Haiyin and Haihan looked at their father together.
Eloping and dying for love are two completely different concepts!
"They decided to commit suicide?"
"Yes. But before I could implement the plan, I was discovered. The demon husband beat her crazy and would rather kill her than give her...the chance to escape!"
Hai Han suddenly understood.
Sacrifice for love... it means jumping into the sea!
My uncle told him that although he was killed, he could not reincarnate, but suicide was OK. In the past, some people on the island were unable to bear the torture of illness, or were desperate for this life, chose to commit suicide, and hoped for the next life. Most of their way to commit suicide was to jump directly into the sea.
Going into the sea and committing suicide is equivalent to burying yourself in the sea.
Both die... and then reincarnate... It is indeed the only hope that they can get rebirth. Even if the family that is tyrannical and powerful, there are so many newborns on the island every year, they cannot find the reincarnated couple.
As long as they don’t say it, no one will know their past lives!
It's a perfect plan!
Only in a special environment like Azur Lane can a plan be implemented.
The only two possible mistakes... First, one party cannot recover its memory for a long time, and second, one party becomes reincarnated after reincarnation. But both of these may be low-probability events. Compared with the severe situation they faced at that time, this is the best choice.
Bury your current life in exchange for a life restart!
So……
Could this be my father’s past life?
Is my mother the woman in the story?
But he suddenly thought of something.
"Dad...what is the end of the story?"
Was that woman beaten to death? Or did the man come forward to save her?
"There is nothing at the end. The story ends here... It's just a story."
Hai Jianshi stood up and said, "I'll go out for a walk."
Looking at his father's back, Hai Han couldn't help but say, "Sister, I'll go out!"
He wants to know what happened at the end of this story!
It’s very windy at night in Hantie Town.
Hai Jianshi walked on the coast and recalled the entire process of his first encounter, falling in love, and finally getting married and having children.
And... in deeper memory, the bloody and dark past.
"This is our only chance! Let's fall into the sea together and be reincarnated again! At that time, through your paintings, I will definitely recognize you! You have never shown your paintings to that demon, right?"
"Yes! I have burned all my paintings too. No one can recognize my painting style!"
"We die together, and then reborn! In the next life, I will work hard to train myself, and I will make me stronger than anyone else! I will never let you hurt you again!"
...
When he first met Ji Danshu, Hai Jianshi noticed her paintings. The tide she drew and the dusk under the setting sun made him extremely familiar with it!
Hai Jianshi will never forget the touching that time.
When he was eighteen years old, he had fallen into despair. Because she was beaten to death by that beast. Although her body was buried by the sea later, she probably wouldn't be reincarnated. But when he saw the painting, Hai Jianshi felt that his world had light again.
They finally met again!
Just like that time!
But all of this...
Is it a misunderstanding?
The real one was actually Leng Mu who stood beside Danshu at that time?
"dad!"
Hai Jianshi turned around and saw his son following him.
"Haihan?"
"Dad," Hai Han walked to Hai Jianshi and said, "I... can I ask, what's wrong with you and your mother?"
Hai Han had a faint premonition of anxiety.
Looking at his fourteen-year-old son, Hai Jianshi found that the child's emotions may be more delicate and sensitive than he imagined.
"Dad," Hai Han looked at the coast in front of him and said, "I went to watch the movie "Aquaman" a few years ago when the movie "Aquaman" was played in the town. The feeling you give me is the same as that of Aquaman inside."
"Aquaman is no longer a good word now." Hai Jianshi smiled knowingly.
"When I was a kid, I always wished I could live like you."
"Like me...?"
"Yes, no matter what difficulties you face, you will not give up easily, like a rock! Some fishermen told me that you are a man who can conquer even a sirens!"
Hai Jianshi lowered his head and said, "I am not as powerful as you said, Hai Han."
"Dad, you..."
At this moment, Hai Han suddenly discovered that a black shadow appeared on the distant coast!
Seeing the black shadow, Hai Han's heart suddenly stumbled.
He thought about it!
He saw this dark shadow last night!
At that time, the black shadow headed towards grandpa's wooden house!
This morning, my grandfather died in the wooden house! Or...drunk!
And now, he found...
The black shadow walked towards him and his father!
"dad!"
Hai Han grabbed his father's arm tightly, pointed to the shadow in the distance, and asked, "Then...what is that?"
Hearing his son's fearful voice, Hai Han looked over, but then shook his head and said, "Hai Han...what are you talking about?"
"Dad! That figure! Did you see it? Walking towards us!"
