"It's the taste of the sea. Sitting in the wine shop surrounded by the smell of fish, Lin Xiyu smiled, afraid of waking up the doll in his arms, and smiled softly.

Qin Zheng looked around, and the shop was empty.

Not to mention in the shop, there are very few people outside the shop.

Pan Pan seemed to see his thoughts, and said in a low voice, "Many houses here are unoccupied, I went in to take a look, some of them haven't been on fire for at least half a year." ”

"It shouldn't be. Lin Xiyu looked puzzled, "The geographical location here is at the end of the war, the Heavenly Soul Country has not yet been broken, and the impact of the war should not be so soon, after all, if there are no people living here, where else can they go?"

"Could it be those strange beasts?" Qin Zheng still remembered the tide of sea beasts he saw on the Heavenly Soul South China Sea Front, those huge sea beasts surrounded by black mist with hideous faces.

Speaking of which, the view from here is not bad, there is nothing else to obstruct them, and they can see the sea from afar, and there are harpoons, shelves, and dilapidated boats lying around on the beach.

The boat was dangling with a hole in the fishing net.

Occasionally, a few naked men walked around the beach, not knowing what they were busy with, and they all looked a little older.

"I remember that after you provided them with a way to purify that black mist, the situation of that strange beast tide has improved a lot, and it is said that it has almost completely been solved, not to mention, the South China Sea Front, which of the Heavenly Soul, has not extended to here. ”

"Yes. Qin Zheng nodded, if it was really that kind of beast crisis, then I am afraid it would not be a problem of few people, it should be no talent.

"Maybe it's conscription? After all, the battle on the front line is so fierce, and the army of Heavenly Soul needs a lot of militia. Qin Zheng thought of another possibility.

"Perhaps, at a glance, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled. A few people looked at the figures on the beach and sighed softly.

The owner of the liquor store walked in from the back of the house and was obviously surprised to see customers in the shop.

was so surprised that he didn't react for a while, and stood in place.

The boss is also an old man, but he walks at a steady pace.

Seeing this, Qin Zheng wanted to take the initiative to say hello loudly, but he was afraid that it would be small, so he got up and took the initiative to walk over.

Although there is generally no reason for guests to get up, in Qin Zheng's place, it is obviously more important to respect the old and love the young.

He walked to the front desk, and the wall behind the cabinet was densely packed with many dishes, and he always wanted to eat some seafood when he came to the beach.

Seeing that Qin Zheng was looking carefully, the boss rubbed his hands a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry guest, these ...... None of them are gone. ”

The boss was a little nervous, he still had the eyesight, judging from the clothes of Qin Zheng and his party, they were not ordinary people.

Besides, the purpose of people who come to such a place at this time will not be simple.

"Gone?" Qin Zheng was stunned, "Then what else?"

The boss looked embarrassed and turned his eyes to the outside of the store, while Qin Zheng and his party also looked out a little stiffly......

In this direction, it can be called food, and the only thing that can be called is dried fish hanging on the shelf in front of the store......

Feeling the stiffness of the guests, the boss explained a little helplessly, "In our sea area, I don't know why, since a year ago, the number of fish caught has been greatly reduced, and it is getting smaller and smaller every month, and now, the monthly harvest here is only enough to feed two or three households."

The young ones began to walk along the coastline to develop elsewhere, and the situation became worse and worse every day, and our harvest this month was just bought by the Feng Kee Trading Company from the main city yesterday, so now only dried fish remained. ”

Qin Zheng hadn't heard of this name for a long time, and suddenly missed the beautiful Feng San inexplicably.

He exchanged glances with Lin Xiyu and Panpan, it seemed that they had guessed wrong before, the people here withered, it turned out that it was because of the harvest.

"Then get us a piece of dried fish. Qin Zheng smiled bitterly, "Can you borrow your room here?"

"Of course, of course. Seeing that Qin Zheng didn't mean to be angry, the boss wiped the sweat from his forehead and took Qin Zheng all the way to the room.

Although they didn't eat the original seafood, they wouldn't only eat dried fish, after all, Qin Zheng didn't have anything else, and there were a lot of various stocks of food.

As for those in Qin Zheng's space, it was enough for a few of them to eat for several years.

Of course, Qin Zheng is still a very generous person, he not only paid the boss for dried fish, but also took out a lot of inventory, and invited the entire fishing village to have a big meal.

At the same time, they were also given a large amount of ingredients, which was enough for them to last until the next time, or even the next time Feng Kee Commercial Bank came.

Needless to say, Qin Zheng's craftsmanship, those villagers who are not having a good time, especially those who are old, have tears in their eyes one by one, looking at Qin Zheng, as if they have seen a savior.

And Lin Xiyu's kindness and Panpan's cheerfulness also made the three of them quickly get acquainted with the villagers, and the villagers almost knew everything.

Naturally, the reason for the problem in this sea area was mentioned.

The villagers gossiped about the fact that the sea was polluted, that there might be a high-level sea beast that scared the fish away, and that it was cursed by the heavens......

In short, there are all kinds of speculations.

However, there was an old man's words, which made Qin Zheng have to pay attention to the fact that this old man was bent on his body, walking with a cane, his hair was thin, and his beard was gray and thick.

The owner of the liquor shop said that this was the oldest man in their village who was still alive and knew everything in the sea.

It is said that when he was young, he went to the deep sea area alone on a boat, and finally returned with unknown sea beasts and treasures, which is a legend in the village.

The old man said that if this sea was polluted, then all the fish should be dead, and if there were high-level sea beasts, then they should not be able to catch a single fish.

So he had a very novel saying, he said, that it was the sea that was cut off.

The sea must have been cut off in a certain area, so that other fish could not swim, and the fish on this side of the partition caught fewer and fewer fish, catching faster than they reproduced, so the cycle could not be repeated.

"It's just, is it still possible to be cut off?" Qin Zheng asked himself, with his current ability, it was impossible to easily cut off a sea area, not to mention, this situation lasted for a whole year.

"Yes, yes, I've seen it, I've seen it at the end of the sea. The old man nodded again and again, quite insistent.

"When I think of the year, I ......"

The old man changed his words and began to talk about his heroic deeds back then.

Qin Zheng and Lin Xiyu glanced at each other, both of them smiled bitterly, this is the fourth time they have heard this story today......
