Chapter 893 The trapped beast
Lin Sishen choked immediately, and waited for a few seconds before replying: "Senior Liu, I came here with two friends today, not because of what happened back then, but because of something else."

"Is it because you have been reluctant to show up for a long time because of the scar on your face?" Lin Sishen asked again.

The old man didn't answer, but he looked at Lin Sishen with an expression of annoyance. It was obvious that he had encountered a lot of trouble because of Lin Sishen's visit.

Lin Sishen was not discouraged by his attitude. Instead, he continued to ask shamelessly: "Senior Liu, I still remember that you said that under this river, there are many corpses of people from the upper class who died in vain. Your mission on the river is not only to ferry people passing by here across the river, but also to protect these corpses, not only to appease the souls of the dead, but also to wait for their families and send them out of the mire."

"Back then, everyone could commute freely here, but now it is separated by formations, like a dead land. What happened in the past 100 years, and why did it become like this?"

The old man still didn't answer. Not only did he want us to leave quickly, but he also didn't want to mention too much about this place to outsiders.

"Senior Liu, the first time I saw you on the ship, there was a light in your eyes. You always felt that everything you did was to help the people. At that time, even though you lived on the ship, you still wanted to come here. Just come and leave whenever you want, which is completely different from his current look." Lin Sishen continued.

Perhaps his words were full of sincerity. Even the old man who was very wary of us was suddenly touched by what he said, and he followed his words and asked, "I am now. What does it look like?"

"You are now..." Lin Sishen trailed off, as if the words behind him were a bit difficult to express.

The old man stretched his neck, as if he was extremely curious about what he was going to say next.

But I saw a lot of loneliness in the old man's affection. This kind of loneliness is like a person or a boat parked on a river full of corpses at the bottom for an unknown period of time.

In these years, he has not come into contact with any living people, and what he is doing now is far from what he once thought, but he can no longer leave.

Thinking of this, before Lin Sishen could answer, I couldn't help myself and blurted out: "You are like a trapped beast, forced to stay here. The light that used to shine in your eyes is gone, and you don't even know yourself. The meaning of existence now is only complete loneliness."

The old man's eyes froze.

It seems that he has viewed himself this way for a long time, but no one has pointed it out, and he is even less willing to admit it.

He suddenly laughed out loud, and his smile turned into a long-lasting laugh, and even the voice in his throat was hoarse from laughter.

An unspeakable feeling of loneliness suddenly spread throughout his body.

Although I don't know what happened to him, seeing his appearance now, I really feel sour in my heart.

"Old sir?" I called him with concern. I really didn't expect that after coming here and meeting the old man, the situation would develop like this.

He smiled, his eyes sparkling as if filled with tears.

But when he turned his head to look at me, he had already forced away the tears from his eyes.

"You are right. I am indeed trapped here like a trapped beast, but what can I do?"
