Of these seven or eight people, the youngest ones are in their forties.

The older ones are fifty or sixty years old.

All wore tattered clothes.

There were even three men who were shirtless and wore big pants.

However, their physique looks good and they are not too thin.

The mental outlook is also very good.

At a glance, you can see that there is no shortage of nutrients.

It's just that they all have obvious physical disabilities.

Either a hand is missing, an ear is missing, or an arm is left.

Wait for the boat to get close to the shore.

They immediately sensibly took a step back and distanced themselves.

After Zheng Yaozu, Bai Ce, and Bai Ke carried the things to the shore.

That's when they gathered together and picked up their things.

Bai Ce and Bai Ke wanted to come forward to help.

Zheng Yaozu stopped: "No need, there are not many things." ”

The middle-aged man with the strongest appearance and one hand missing picked up Zheng Yaozu's two large packages.

It looks more relaxed than Zheng Yaozu.

The rest of the people picked up five black-and-white TVs.

One by one, I was pleasantly surprised.

"It's TV! You know?

"Of course I know, but you have to install an antenna to see it. ”

The lepers walked in front, and the white customers followed behind.

Bai Ke looked around, and sure enough, it was not what he expected.

The island is truly unexplored and pristine.

Half of the entire island is covered with virgin trees.

The thinnest trees are as thick as a basketball, and the largest ones are thicker than a basin.

And the living area is less than a tenth of the island.

After walking a few steps, I saw their house.

Kind of like a barracks for troops.

Red bricks are exposed, flat roofs, boxy.

Facing south and backing north, there are two rows.

Seeing a stranger coming, people came out of each room and looked curiously.

Among these people, the younger ones are in their forties, and the older ones are seventy or eighty years old.

Only two or three women were seen out of twenty or thirty people.

Compared to the few people who carried the TV, these people were much weaker.

Some people have more severe disabilities.

It's even a little scary.

In order not to hurt their self-esteem.

The white guest tried his best to restrain the fear in his heart.

There are a few rooms that are also shadowed behind the curtains.

Obviously, there were even more hideous-looking people hiding inside, and they were afraid of scaring Bai Ce and Bai Ke, so they didn't dare to show up rashly.

Zheng Yaozu's residence is a separate courtyard of the head.

It's similar to a normal miscellaneous courtyard.

There are six large tiled rooms with all the kitchen and toilet.

Such a large courtyard is definitely not for Zheng Yaozu to live alone.

Most of it is to entertain people from outside.

Or there were more people who were healthy before, and they stayed specifically.

As Bai Ke expected, Zheng Yaozu is a very clean person.

The yard is clean and tidy, and the house is well-behaved.

Almost spotlessly clean.

It doesn't look like an old bachelor's house.

Looking around, Bai Ke couldn't help but feel sour at the root of his nose.

In the previous life, Bai Ke was also an old bachelor, and he was also a bit clean.

Every day, one person washes clothes, one person cooks, and one person talks to himself in the mirror.

In this life, there are so many happy and beautiful things surging.

I was caught off guard.

Zheng Yaozu took out a few new cups, rinsed them, and poured water for Bai Ce and Bai Ke to drink.

"The water we have here is cold for you to drink, and it tastes very good. ”

The well water on the islands generally tastes poor because it seeps into the seawater.

But when Bai Ke took a sip, he felt similar to a mountain spring.

It's crisp and delicious, and it's a little sweet.

Bai Ce also nodded: "Not bad, not bad." ”

I drank a glass in one go, and poured another glass with my own hands.

"We have two wells on this island, one on the east and one on the west. The east side is a bit bitter, and can only be used to wash clothes and water the ground. ”

Bai Ce put down the water glass, looked around a few times, and sighed: "Yaozu, it's not easy for you to be alone all these years." ”

Zheng Yaozu smiled and said, "It's actually not bad." It's thanks to me that I'm here in the first place, otherwise I'd have had to catch up with one movement after another. ”

Bai Ce nodded: "In those years, everyone was not at peace. I can't wait to find a place to hide. ”

"Our island has been lifted in the past two years, and some of the younger ones have left the island and gone home. But since the beginning of this year, half of them have come back one after another. ”

Bai Ce sighed: "They can't adapt to life outside." ”

"yes. When I returned home, I even guarded my family like thieves, and I couldn't go anywhere. It's not as free as the island. ”

In fact, Zheng Yaozu also has an older brother and an older sister alive at home.

But Zheng Yaozu only went back to take a look after two or three years.

After chatting for a while, Zheng Yaozu got up and said, "Let's go! I'll get you something to eat." ”

Looking at this situation, the people on the island went directly to the fields to pick vegetables.

Coming out of the house, Zheng Yaozu took a big bag and a net pole.

This net pole is somewhat similar to the kind of dragonfly fluttering in children.

It's just that the net pocket is a lot bigger, and it looks sturdy.

Bai Ke took the initiative to take the big bag and asked Zheng Yaozu to carry the net pole.

When he arrived at a vegetable patch behind the house, Bai Ce was excited like a child.

Without waiting for Zheng Yaozu's command, he started his own hands.

Bai Ke knew that his father grew up in the countryside when he was young, and he naturally missed the fields.

The vegetable patches are one after the other, and there is a lot of variety.

There are eggplants, cucumbers, tomatoes.

There are also beans, loofahs, and bell peppers.

After picking for a while, Bai Ce was shocked: "I'll go, I picked too much, how can we eat so much." ”

Zheng Yaozu smiled: "Pick more, you can take it back." ”

The three of them picked for a while, until the net was full, and then they walked out of the vegetable patch.

After walking a little further out of the vegetable field, the three of them walked into the woods.

Most of the trees here are pine, cedar, and ginkgo trees.

Straight and tall.

Not long after entering the woods, Zheng Yaozu raised the net pole and searched around.

The white man thought he was going to catch birds, but he looked down at the ground.

Is it catching rabbits?

I had just walked for a while, and suddenly I heard a "fluttering" sound overhead.

When the white guest looked up, something that felt bigger than the head of an eagle flew over and landed on a tree branch.

"What kind of bird?"

Zheng Yaozu smiled: "Come and take a look." ”

The white guest cautiously leaned under the tree to take a look.

I'm going to do it, how do you look like a poultry?

"It won't be a chicken...... Huh?"

"Chicken, of course...... It's over!"

"How can your chickens fly?"

Bai Ce smiled: "Chickens can fly, this is called atavism." ”

It's right to think about it, chickens, ducks and geese are originally birds.

One year, Bai Zong killed a goose and chopped off the goose's head, and the goose flew over the wall in a hurry.

"But such a big chicken can't be beaten with a slingshot. ”

"Don't worry, there is. ”

After walking a short distance, I saw seven or eight chickens running over in front of me.

"Our chickens here are free-range, and we catch bugs and eat them. In winter, I rushed back to the nest to feed it. ”

So, although the chickens here are wild, they are not afraid of people.

After a while, three or four chickens came over and circled around the three of them.

Zheng Yaozu slammed the net pole and covered a medium-sized rooster.

Then he reached out and pinned the chicken's wings, immobilizing it.

Bai Ce hurriedly came over and stretched out his hand to take it, and said with a smile: "There are chickens, and it seems that there are mushrooms too." ”

Needless to say, the most important thing in this taiga is mushrooms.

Zheng Yaozu carried the net pole on his shoulder and walked to the dense place in the forest where the sun could not shine.

Before Bai Ce and Bai Ke could see it clearly, he bent down several times in succession.

When I got up, I already had a handful of mushrooms in my hand.

Only one last time did the white guest see him pluck the leaves from the roots of the tree and pick the mushrooms.

Walking out of the woods, Bai Ce and Bai Ke thought it was time to go back.

Zheng Yaozu pointed to the sea: "There is still something." ”

Bai Ce and Bai Ke followed him to a large reef by the sea.

Zheng Yaozu raised his hand and pulled a rope from the reef.

After a while, he picked up a net-like thing from the water.

There were more than a dozen crabs crawling on the surface of the net.

The white customer knows that this is called crab fishing.

The net pocket contains chicken intestines.

When the crab smelled the smell, it clinged to the net pocket.

Zheng Yaozu picked six ashtrays the size of a pick-up and threw them into the net pole.

The rest of the small crabs were also plucked and thrown back into the sea one by one.

Then he looked at the chicken intestines in his net pocket and continued to go down to the sea.

"Is it high tide or low tide?"

"High tide. By the afternoon it would be time to retreat. ”

"What time do you get back?"

"About four o'clock. ”

"Then we can walk ashore. ”

"yes!"

With all the ingredients ready, the three of them went back to the kitchen and started cooking.
