Whale Island is an island that is still some part of the sea area from the mainland, and it is named because the island resembles a whale.

The island's complex topography is home to a variety of exotic animals, dense rainforests and bottomless lakes.

Here, there are few native-born inhabitants, and there is only one village in the entire island.

Although the island has a small resident population, there is a large number of migrants who come and go every day.

Fishermen who go out fishing from the mainland use Whale Island as a temporary retreat and often spend some time on Whale Island before returning to Hong Kong.

The inhabitants of Whale Island are almost fishing-based, with a few plantations, and only one tavern in the village is open.

Most of the men at sea are good drinkers, and after coming to Whale Island, they will basically go to the only tavern on the island to have a few drinks.

On September 16th, one day after the end of the Youkexin auction, a small wooden boat without sails followed the current and approached the port, attracting the attention of many fishermen in the port.

All around, six large fishing boats docked in the harbor, in stark contrast to the lifeboat-sized wooden boat.

"Lonely ship?"

Some fishermen speculated.

In the eyes of fishermen at sea, the island usually represents an unmanned drifting boat.

Most fishermen have seen lonely boats, either empty or lying on the bones of a seabird pecked naked.

The men who were closer to the small wooden boat leaned in, and when they got closer, they saw a man lying in the slightly deeper hull, with an old straw hat over his face.

The man's chest did not heave or rise, as if he had lost his breath.

One of the men said, "The boat can't be crossed, this man may have been planted." ”

"Then we have to bring the body ashore and bury it. Another said.

"Let's do it. ”

It is the custom of fishermen to not say the word death to the corpse that died on the sea, and to bury it when it is encountered.

Each fishing boat that went out to sea brought a few buckets of land soil, just to deal with the corpses on the lonely boat.

The men were about to move the bodies out of the wooden boat, and the surrounding fishermen came to watch.

At this moment, the corpse they believed was suddenly straightened up, and the straw hat fell in response.

The men who approached were so frightened by the turn of events that they took several steps back.

"Is this Whale Island?"

The man on the boat picked up a grass hat and put it on his head, then picked up a fishing rod and stood up.

This black-haired young man in a straw hat is Luo

The men looked at Luo in front of them with wide eyes and nodded subconsciously.

Seeing this, Luo thought that he had arrived at his destination.

The man who had previously concluded that Luo was dead came back to his senses and said, "I thought you were dead." ”

"Uncle, is it really good to curse people like this?"

Luo raised his eyebrows and jumped from the hull of the boat to the shore.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The man was also upright, knowing that his words were a little offended, and apologized on the spot.

Luo didn't care, stroked his stomach and asked, "Is there a restaurant here?"

Hearing Luo's question, several men glanced at each other, including the men gathered around, and they all understood that Luo was probably a living person who didn't know anything about Whale Island.

"No, but there is a tavern in the village, and if you want something to eat, you can go there. Someone replied.

"Thank you. ”

Luo thanked him and headed for the village.

The crowd in the harbor watched Luo leave, and the inconsequential episode ended, returning to the way it was.

The harbor of Whale Island is large, but the village area is not large, there are not many buildings to see, and the intervals are relatively loose.

Luo walked into the village, and without looking for it, he could smell a wisp of wine.

Following the taste, I soon found the tavern, pushed the door in, and the people were buzzing.

The tavern was almost full of fishermen, presumably fishermen disembarking from the six large fishing boats in the harbor.

"Welcome. ”

A pleasant female voice came.

Luo raised his eyes and looked at it, his eyes lit up slightly.

The owner of the voice was a young woman with short orange hair, bangs combed back to reveal a smooth forehead, beautiful facial features, and eyes that were quite expressive, similar to gold.

Mitter, Kim's cousin.

In the original book, Mitt didn't appear much or for a long time, but he made a deep impression on Luo and was a female character he liked.

This time I came to Whale Island, in addition to seeing the King of the Swamp, and secondly, I wanted to see Mitt with my own eyes.

"It's almost full, so if you don't mind, squeeze inside. Mitt noticed the young man's eyes and quietly pointed to the crowded seats inside.

Her tavern has received many customers, and over time, she has come into contact with all kinds of different men, most of whom look at her almost the same way.

The kind of eye-catching that is aimed at women is, to put it bluntly, the eyes of a pervert.

It's just that a young man like Luo, Mitt has seen it for the first time.

Luo didn't know that he had become a coarse person with the bosses inside in Mitt's eyes, so he nodded to Mitt and walked in.

Seats were tight, and Luo barely managed to find a table with a fair amount of spare and put the fishing rod away.

He didn't wear a human skin mask now, and his face was thin and tender, and he stood out in a crowd of men who had been ravaged by the scorching sun and sea breeze.

The fishermen at the same table looked at Luo a few more times, and felt that they were not like peers.

"What do you want?"

At this time, Mitt came over to order for Luo.

In terms of hospitality, Mitt has never used honorifics from the beginning to the present, presumably this tavern does not sell service.

"What's for the food?" Rowe asked.

"The staple food of seafood, there are rice, fried noodles, and rice noodles..."

Whale Island is sparsely populated, but it is quite rich in supplies, and you can find plenty of mountain treasures in the dense forest.

"Give me a seafood fried rice and a glass of fruit wine. Luo didn't think about it for too long, and placed an order.

"Understood. ”

Mitt jotted down the dishes, smiled at Luo, and walked towards the back kitchen aisle next to the bar.

Before the food came up, Law glanced around the tavern.

Some of the fishermen were playing cards, most of them were drinking, thus opening up the conversation.

Luo didn't specifically listen, and the conversation of the fishermen automatically reached his ears.

It was too loud, but Rowe heard talk of a once-in-a-decade tide, escaping a catastrophe, and picking up a boatload of precious fish species.

"Big brother, are you good at fishing?"

Among the many noisy voices, a childish voice attracted Luo's attention.

Following the voice, it was a six- or seven-year-old child wearing green short-sleeved shorts, with a black hedgehog head and eyes of the same color as Mitte.

At this moment, the little child was staring at the fishing rod that Luo had placed on the edge of the table with wide eyes.

Luo looked at the child in front of him, but grinned.

Kim's son, Jay...

"Absolutely. ”

Luo winked at Xiaojie and said seriously: "I don't need bait, I can catch any fish." ”

"Really!"

When Xiaojie heard this, he showed adoring eyes.

Several fishermen at the same table looked at Luo speechlessly, they didn't know what Luo's fishing method was, in fact, it was true that there was no bait, if you really wanted to calculate it, the black cat could get rid of the positioning of the hook and turn it into bait.

"That's nature, do you want to learn?"

Luo stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiaojie's head, thinking about whether to take a photo for Jin, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need for this, he thought that Jin would observe Xiaojie's growth in secret in some way.

"Yes!" Xiaojie nodded vigorously.

"I'll teach you when I'm done eating. Luo laughed.

At this time, someone pulled the excited little Jie behind him, but it was Mitte who brought seafood fried rice and fruit wine.

She pushed the tray down on the table with a little force, and looked at Luo with a faint hostility in her gaze.

"Uh..."

Law was speechless for a moment, not understanding where Mitt's hostility came from.

But what he said is true, hang the black cat on the hook, and you can catch whatever you want without bait.

"Your seafood fried rice and fruit wine. ”

Mitt unloaded the plate onto the table, and then pulled Jay away without saying a word.

Luo touched the back of his head and felt inexplicable.
