Away from the hustle and bustle of the tourists, the Crawford family, Melody and Grace all stopped, and old Mrs. Crawford and Margaret began to take things from their bags.
“Yogurt... Fruits... Hey, Margaret, where is the bread?” Margaret raised her voice, “Here.” Lisa squatted in front of the bicycle, looking at the bicycle chain inexplicably.
She pointed to the chain and said to Anthony, “It's broken!” The corner of Anthony's mouth twitched.
Of course it was.
She trampled on the chain to the point that they started sparking.
“It's okay,” Anthony said silently, “I'll call them for a change.” After a while, people from the bicycle rental shop drove along the road and pushed three new four-person bikes down to the Bondee Beach, where they saw three ‘stranded’ bikes.
One of them, the chain broke.
The other two lost their chains.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey looked at the scrapped bicycle chain and asked in bewilderment, “What happened?” Blake crossed his arms and said calmly, “Whoever is faster in the competition, they fell down, so they lost the chain.” Bike rental owner, “Uh...” Blake, “How much is the maintenance fee? We will pay for it.” Anyway, the handsome and wealthy Anthony was not short of money.
The owner of the bicycle rental said in embarrassment, “This time, three bikes broke down. The maintenance fee includes the cost of our manual pulling back... That will cost three hundred!” Blake, “Okay.” Anthony took out his mobile phone and beeped—— Received three hundred dollars in your account~ The bike rental boss, “..." He regretted it, they paid so simply, he felt that he could have asked for more...
The boss took the three scrapped bicycles and left. Before he left, he said, “Don’t break it again, otherwise you will have to pay three hundred and fifty.” Blake, “Boss, you can be bold.” The boss, “?” So he was still too reserved, wasn't he? Lilly suddenly lay on the railing, and waved happily, “It's Grandpa and Grandma Nancy, Grandpa~" Blake rented a small boat for two old people, and there was a boatman who punted the boat.
The old man was holding a black umbrella, and the boatman chatted with the old man. He heard that he lost his lover in the early years, and now he came here to fulfill the agreement with his lover, and he felt a little emotional in his heart.
The boatman was at the bow, and the old man was a little closer to the stern. The boatman always heard him talking to himself in a low voice from time to time, and could not help but feel sad.
Seeing someone greeting him from the shore, he asked, “Brother, do you want to dock?” The old man had taken Nancy to play all morning, and so he asked in a low voice, “Do you want to go ashore?” Nancy nodded.
He said, “Go to shore, please.” The boatman said, “Hey, there's nothing here! We're going to stop at the port of that scenic spot over there.” He pointed to a stop in the distance.
After seeing the old man nodding his head, he enthusiastically shouted to the shore, “We want to dock over there!” Lilly made a gesture of “received” and stepped on the pedal of the bicycle again, “Let's go!” Ivan who just took a breath, “?” The bikes went along the Bondee Beach, and the boat slid leisurely towards the docking point.
As they turned at a bay, a gust of wind came oncoming.
The old man who was holding the black umbrella only felt that the wind picked up, and the black umbrella flew up with a whistling sound! His face changed, and he quickly grabbed the handle of the umbrella.
The boatman hurriedly said, “Brother, let go of the umbrella, the wind will not stop for a while!” The Bondee Beach had always been windy, and the other side was constantly windy all year round, and there were rarely any windless days throughout the year. So it was also known as the “Wind City”.
When he set off in the morning, he reminded the old man not to hold an umbrella when sailing on the lake, but the old man insisted on holding it, so he could only row slowly.
Now that they had just turned around the mouth of the bay, the convective wind was relatively strong, so they really could not hold an umbrella.
The old man held onto the umbrella tightly and did not intend to let go.
The boat shook, and the black umbrella was lifted by the wind. The old man was pulled to stand up, staggering, and was about to fall into the lake.
Nancy said urgently, “Let go, let go quickly!” The old man’s cloudy eyes were full of determination, “I won't let it go.” He grabbed the lower plate of the umbrella handle and tried to close the umbrella.
However, the wind was too strong, and he stood staggeringly on the edge of the boat. He fought against the wind, but his old body was obviously lacking in physical strength. He grabbed the umbrella bone and tried to pull it down, and his finger was cut open.
Nancy was in a hurry, “Let go, please! Let go...” The old man’s eyes were full of stubbornness.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat year, she was crushed under the reinforced concrete, and he could not do anything.
Now, how could he let go? “I will not let it go..,” He gritted his teeth and said, “Never let it go.” Nancy cried, “What are you doing, you old stubborn donkey, you...” The boatman was so frightened that he quickly put down his oars and wanted to go over to help.
At this moment, another gust of wind blew up, and the black umbrella flew out all at once.
“Nancy!” The old man was about to fall into the lake, but now that the black umbrella was blown away, he jumped into the lake without thinking about anything! “Damn it, brother!” The boatman was scared out of the national essence, and quickly jumped down to save others.
The old man only had the black umbrella blown away by the wind in his eyes.
The black umbrella spun a few times on the lake, and was blown farther and farther by the wind...
“Nancy...” He said anxiously and sadly, “Wait for me...” Slow down.
He almost could not catch up.
All his life, he never caught up.
The old man was buoying in the lake, and was picked up by the boatman from behind. The boatman said anxiously, “Brother! What are you doing! It’s just a black umbrella. If you lose it, you lose it. I'll buy you ten or eight when we get ashore, ok?” The old man suddenly cried bitterly, “Nancy!” In the distance, the umbrella had stopped, but the umbrella was tipped up and was slowly being soaked by the lake water...
Nancy, who was originally in the black umbrella, has long since disappeared.
As Lilly said, the black umbrella could not be tipped upwards.
He was useless, he could not even do such a simple thing well!
