“Don’t call me uncle, I can’t afford to be your uncle.” Li Sinian helped Fang Daichuan to stand up. His breathing was a bit faster than usual, but otherwise he didn’t seem to be affected.

He supported Fang Daichuan, but the two of them couldn’t retreat, they could only walk up the reef step by step, to a higher place, with the child and Niu Xinyan tailing them. Fang Daichuan looked for a way out and found that it was possible for him to break through from the side, but he couldn’t leave Li Sinian in his state.

The two climbed up the reef step by step, with their backs to the sea, looking as if they were cornered into a hopeless situation.

The little boy looked up at them in surprise, his round little face was soaked by the rain. “Uncle Li, can you even stand up? It’s best not to move around indiscriminately with snake venom on you. The faster you move, the sooner you go. You should lie here and rest, and I will take care of you. Then again, have you found out who the witch is?”

Li Sinian sneered: “Isn’t the witch your mother?”

The little boy turned his head suspiciously and stared at Niu Xinyan. Niu Xinyan looked a little flustered, and she didn’t expect Li Sinian to say that. She waved her hand and explained, “No! Don’t listen to him!”

“I say, Niu Xinyan, if you are a witch, quickly take out the antidote.” Yang Song’s voice came as everyone saw her figure slowly climbing up from behind the reef illuminated by the faint moonlight on the coast. “Give the antidote to the seer, we still have a chance to win. Now there are only a few people left in the villager faction; counting Du Chaosheng, one between Du Wei or Chen Hui, Fang Daichuan, which leaves one remaining villager role. Which means, that role could be between your son or Ding Zihui. Or, in the worst outcome, the beer belly that died on the first day is the last villager, there are not many special roles left. I really don’t want us to lose.”

Niu Xinyan shook her head. “I really am not a witch, my role is a villager.”

“Don’t you understand?” Yang Song sneered, “This stand-off has dragged long enough. If you are not a witch, then you can only be a wolf. If you don’t hand over the antidote, then tomorrow morning, I am really sorry.”

Niu Xinyan didn’t panic in such a situation. “Don’t act as if you are selfless. Say that I just took out the antidote. Will you give it to Li Sinian?”

Of course not. No matter how naive Fang Daichuan was, he wouldn’t think that Yang Song was here to help Li Sinian with an antidote. It is a given that everyone will put themself first. In the threat of death, even the act of robbing antidote seems to be forgivable.

The three parties stood still and no one dared to move.

Li Sinian managed to distract everyone just using one sentence, Fang Daichuan had to say he really admired it. However, it wouldn’t change the fact that Li Sinian was poisoned. They were at an absolute disadvantage. Fang Daichuan, as a real witch, knew that Niu Xinyan wasn’t a witch. Whether she was a wolf or not, she couldn’t get the antidote, which meant Li Sinian was dying.

Fang Daichuan was sweating bullets. He protected Li Sinian back step by step, standing on the outermost side of the reef, the sea waves rushing.

The coastline moved back a lot. Don’t know whether it was the storm or just the usual low tide. The jet-black sea was churning with foam, rolling waves hitting the reef.

Li Sinian turned his head, tilted his head and coughed. Others could not see what happened, but Fang Daichuan could feel that something hot dripped on his shoulders, contrasting sharply with the cold raindrops.

It was blood. Fang Daichuan’s heart pumped slightly.

“Don’t move,” Fang Daichuan grabbed Li Sinian’s wrist and made up his mind. “Sit down and wait for me here. I will go take the antidote for you.”

Hearing him say this, Niu Xinyan and Yang Song’s eyes were focused on him.

Fang Daichuan spoke firmly, already knowing what he would face. He thought for a while, and added to Li Sinian, “Even if I get poisoned on the way, the antidote will be given to you. This, I promise. I won’t break my promise.”

Li Sinian instantly reacted. He leaned on his shoulder and gave a low laugh.

Li Sinian put his forehead against Fang Daichuan’s back, sighed, and shook his head gently.

In a place invisible to everyone, he turned to Fang Daichuan’s back and said softly, “Alright…”

Fang Daichuan didn’t understand what he said, what Li Sinian just gave up and what the choice he just made. ——Under the cover of darkness, Li Sinian slid his finger upwards and held Fang Daichuan’s hand with his backhand.

Fang Daichuan stood still, unable to say a word.

Li Sinian’s fingers were cold, but the night rain and human heart were even colder, making his fingers feel warm. Fang Daichuan’s mind went blank for a moment.

At this moment, two cooler things slid flexibly into Fang Daichuan’s palm from Li Sinian’s fingertips. Thumb-thin glass bottles, brass engraved cork, all gave Fang Daichuan a familiar feeling, the warmth from Li Sinian’s body still remaining on it.

“Don’t go, the antidote is with me.” Li Sinian said in a low voice.

Fang Daichuan froze. Fortunately, he was an actor. He quickly controlled the expression on his face. From an outsider’s point of view, Fang Daichuan had a panicked look with a cold sweat on his face. Everyone was looking at Niu Xinyan not far away, and the focus wasn’t on him.

“What did you say, what do you mean?” Fang Daichuan took a deep breath, swallowing a lot of cold bitter rain. Everyone thought he was questioning Niu Xinyan, so they ignored him.

Li Sinian’s wet head was touching against his ears, and the water from the tips of his hair dripped on Fang Daichuan’s shoulders. He smiled bitterly in Fang Daichuan’s ear. “Ding Zihui’s identity is suspicious. I’m afraid she will go to the woods to look for the vials at night, so I took it out from the tree hole in advance and hid it on my body. I was too careless with Liu Xin. I didn’t expect him to have wolf poison. Fang Daichuan, listen to me, if you don’t show up, or if you haven’t said that, I will stay silent about your bottle of antidote. But since you have said it, then I will accept your kindness. Keep the antidote and live to the end.”

Don’t you fucking need the antidote?! What kind of drama are you playing for me here! Fang Daichuan was so anxious but he was unable to speak because everyone was present. He could only put his head up halfway, and desperately pushed the antidote into Li Sinian’s hands, his eyes were blurred, but he stubbornly let the rain hit his face to keep up with the act.

Ding Zihui also climbed over the reef. “Why are you gathering here? I heard you are looking for an antidote?”

The situation suddenly became worse, and the four groups looked at each other vigilantly.

“Fang Daichuan, listen to me for the last time.” Li Sinian gasped twice and continued to whisper, “You must remember that Liu Xin is not a wolf. Tomorrow they will definitely vote for Liu Xin, but you must stop that. What Yang Song said is right. The number of people in the village faction is no longer enough. Du Chaosheng is a citizen. Between Du Wei and Chen Hui, one must be a villager. Mrs. Song now seems to be a villager and we get her wrong, so the last citizen is between the little boy and his mother. Judging from what happened just now, I guess Niu Xinyan has a villager role. I am not sure where Ding Zihui’s villager card came from, but there is no way she is in the villager faction. You must be careful of her. I have already lined up the wolf here, the child, Ding Zihui, the deceased Zhao Chu and between Chen Hui and Du Wei. You can find out who the wolf is between the two later. Fang Daichuan, be careful. You must live.” It was just a few hundred words, but Li Sinian already had difficulty speaking. He spoke slowly, obviously still thinking while talking.

His mouth began to bleed and Li Sinian could feel the burning rust taste in his throat. He resolutely stuffed the antidote back into Fang Daichuan’s hand. It was a pair of hands of mercenaries who should have been holding guns all year round, yet the fingers were fine and smooth without the slightest callus, but instead, it was Fang Daichuan’s hands, which had been working in the crew for years, and were cut with thin wounds by the ropes and Weiya*.

The two hands held together.

“How about an alliance?” Yang Song took out her pocket watch with a smile, and checked the time. “We still have time. We can take care of Boss Du and Liu Xin, we have poisons and antidotes, the odds of success are better.”

Fang Daichuan desperately shook his head and refused. Taking advantage of the chaotic situation, he quickly turned his head and said to Li Sinian, “It’s impossible, I can’t survive by myself. You have a sleight of hand, when everyone isn’t paying attention, inject the antidote, and we will live together, I beg you!”

Li Sinian made a faint smile. He stepped back and stood up straight. “I take these feelings, Fang Daichuan, thank you. But I have my own dignity and I will respect the game rules. Since I have lost, then I lose. It doesn’t matter. If you have a chance, help me find the remains of my father. Remember, you have to live.”

As he spoke, he stepped back a few steps, the raging sea right under his feet.

He said loudly to the others, “Don’t force Niu Xinyan. Fang Daichuan can’t kill people and take antidotes. He can’t do such a thing. Whoever wants to grab an antidote, do it yourself. Don’t blackmail using my life.”

After he finished speaking, he smiled for the last time at Fang Daichuan, and jumped down.

“Li Sinian!” Fang Daichuan was frightened, he subconsciously bent over trying to grab him, but he failed. Li Sinian’s body flipped a few times in mid-air before sinking into the icy black water.

The night was so dark that the water splash caused by the body was not visible, the pipe organ wailing, like a mourning of the dead.

Fang Daichuan’s tears were mixed with cold rain that poured down on his head. Before Li Sinian fell into the sea, he looked at the reef above, then sighed softly.

Fang Daichuan stood still, holding the two vials in his palms. The place where the feet stand was where they came out the first night to drink and eat oysters, but unfortunately, this time there wouldn’t be a man who smiled cheerily while climbing out of the sea, shaking the water droplets on his hair, and gave him a handful of oysters.

(T/N : This novel is HE, also reminder that the pipe organ sound more or less like this so yeah, they do sound ominous.)
