Chapter 256: Spirit Wind Island 5
The voice of the Dream Eater Tapir let Chen Beibei know that the Dream Eater Tapir was by his side.
"Dream Eater, show up."
At Chen Beibei's feet, the dream-eating tapir slowly appeared, a little bit, not all at once.
This has something to do with the appearance principle of the dream-eating tapir.
Because, the dream-eating tapir makes itself appear, in fact, it changes the color of its body, so that others can see it with the naked eye.
And the appearance of the Dream Tapir is actually completely controlled by her, whether it is the size, color, or appearance, none of these things really exist, but the Dream Tapir makes the size, color, and appearance of its appearance.
"Dream Eater, why are you here?"
Chen Beibei looked at the Dream Eater Tapir and asked her.
"Because...... Because some are not worried about the host. ”
The Dream Eater Tapir replied.
"Let's go visit her parents at Xiaolian's house now, so that we can understand what she has been through, and some of the thoughts in her heart."
Chen Beibei said as he walked.
"The host ,......"
The dream-eating tapir stood in place, did not leave, and his voice was a little hesitant, as if he didn't know whether to say the next words.
"Dream tapir, what's wrong?"
Chen Beibei turned around, looked at the Dream Eater Tapir, and asked suspiciously.
"The first place we went to was Xiaolian's house. A kilometer to the west, that's the house of the person we knocked on before. ”
The Dream Tapir explained.
This is something Chen Beibei didn't expect just now, after all, Chen Beibei is still very unfamiliar with Lingfeng Island, so he is not very clear about the direction.
However, now the dream-eating tapirs have already said so.
Then, it is almost certain that Xiaolian's family is the one who knocked on the door before. The man who walked with the sound of a long rubbing the ground was probably Xiaolian's father.
When I was on Chunyu Street, Chunlou's mother also said that Xiaolian's father accidentally injured his leg when he went to sea, and now there is almost no way to go out to sea to fish again, and the family's financial resources, because of this, are almost completely cut off.
"Master, what are you doing standing here?"
Gu Xuaniao walked up to Chen Beibei and asked him.
The feeling that the man gave Chen Beibei was a little gloomy, or gloomy, and when Chen Beibei mentioned Xiaolian, the man was obviously already angry.
In such a case, if you knock on the door again.
Chen Beibei was not sure whether Xiaolian's father would open the door for him, or do something more radical.
"Xiaolian's home is the same house from before."
Chen Beibei looked at Gu Huoniao and said slowly.
When the Zashiki boy who was standing on the side heard Chen Beibei's words, a trace of worry appeared in his eyes, and the Zashiki boy was still biting his lip tightly, as if he had thought of something unacceptable.
"The hosts, we ...... Let's take a look. His father, as if ...... It doesn't seem to be very good-tempered......"
Zashiki looked down at the ground and whispered.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei nodded and agreed.
Since the Zashiki boy was accepted as a Shikishen, the Zashiki boy almost didn't ask Chen Beibei to do anything, and this was the first time.
So, anyway.
Chen Beibei would not refuse her.
……
The group came to the door of Xiaolian's house again.
"Master, I'll knock on the door."
Gu Xuaniao walked in front of Chen Beibei, stretched out his hand, and knocked on the door of Xiaolian's house.
There was no response in the room, as if there was no one inside, there was a dead silence, no sound at all.
Gu Huoniao continued to knock on the door, and the knocking became more and more intense.
"Who is it?"
In the room, Xiaolian's father's voice came out, with anger, but the voice was not very loud, as if his body was relatively weak.
"Master, it seems that the people inside ......"
"No, it smells of blood!"
Inugami interrupted Gu Shou Bird's words and said as he sniffed the scent in the air.
Blood.
An ominous premonition shrouded Chen Beibei's heart, at this time, he smelled the smell of blood, so something must have happened in the house.
Moreover, when Gu Yuniao knocked on the door, the people inside refused to respond.
It wasn't until there was really no way to ask reluctantly.
"Let's go in!"
Before Chen Beibei's words fell, Yingcao had already smashed the door of Xiaolian's house, and the sand on the sand wall collapsed suddenly, and a big hole appeared in the wall, which was enough for people to pass easily.
However, Chen Beibei and they did not walk in.
Because there was no need to walk in, the house was already very small, and now the scene in the house was completely displayed in front of them.
There is a bed in the corner of the house.
Lying on it was a lifeless woman, already a little old, with some slight ups and downs in her body.
Probably alive.
On the ground, the three children were held in his arms by Xiaolian's father.
The oldest of them should not be more than ten years old, two little girls, a little boy, and the youngest boy, about four or five years old.
Two younger sisters and one younger brother.
As Chunlou's mother said, this is also the truth.
"Dad......"
The little boy's gaze looked at Chen Beibei, and then fell on his father's body, with a frightened expression on his face.
Yingcao opened the door directly and violently.
Probably scared him.
In the ground of the house, there is a small hole, in which some firewood is burning, and at the mouth of the hole, an iron can is placed on the fire support, and something is being cooked.
"Master, it's a meat ......"
The dog god's gaze fell on the iron can, and he whispered to Chen Beibei.
The simple room was filled with a damp smell, and even mixed with the smell of urine, such a house really didn't look like a place where normal people lived.
Several people, both adults and children.
Everyone's face is a look that will only be possessed after a long time of hunger, with skinned lips, sunken cheeks, and a slight tremor in the body.
Actually...... There will also be meat......
"Who the hell are you?"
The man looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.
"We're just passing through here, and we want to know more about you because we've heard about your daughter."
Chen Beibei replied.
At this time, Chen Beibei really didn't know how to answer, so he could only tell the truth.
However, for the identity, it is still necessary to keep it secret.
Xiaolian's father looked at Chen Beibei carefully, as well as the monsters around him, and after a long time, he seemed to choose to believe Chen Beibei.
"In that case, I'll tell you the story. In exchange, though, you'll have to help us get some food. ”
Xiaolian's father said.
Food.
This place, although for Chen Beibei, is just a very strange island.
But if you want to find some food, it's still very easy, because there is a snow girl returning to the sea, and there is the sea on all sides.
They are all water-related youkai.
Finding food in the water couldn't be easier.
"I'll go."
The owner of the sea square walked to Chen Beibei's side and said softly.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei replied.
This place is already surrounded by the sea, and the owner of the sea can almost exert his most powerful power, so if he is allowed to go, even if he is alone and encounters any danger, he does not have to worry at all.
"Food will be delivered soon, please tell the story first."
Chen Beibei sat down on the ground, looked at Xiaolian's father, and said to him.
Although there are stools in this room, because Xiaolian's father and the three children are sitting on the ground, Chen Beibei can only choose to sit on the ground.
If you sit on a stool, you will look down from a high to a low position.
This is not conducive to the conversation afterwards.
"Hmm."
Xiaolian's father licked his lips and then told the story about Xiaolian.
"Our family has always lived on Reiwind Island, and over the years, many people have moved out of Reiwind Island because of its barren land and changeable weather. Now there are only two families left on the island, one is our family and the other is Widow Yang's family......"
Widow Yang is probably the fat woman who Chen Beibei knocked on the door before, but in fact, that woman is still a very kind woman.
At least, that's what it looks like to Chen Beibei.
"Why don't you move away?"
Chen Beibei looked at Xiaolian's father and asked him.
"Look at my legs now, and Xiaolian's mother, let's ...... Even if you want to leave, you can't do it. As for Widow Yang, probably after being abandoned, she didn't care about everything. On such an island, living one day at a time, she usually doesn't go out, and as for such a thing as leaving Lingfeng Island, she probably hasn't even thought about it. ”
Xiaolian's father replied.
"By the way, I heard...... You sent Xiaolian to Chunyu Street? ”
Chen Beibei asked.
"Hmm. Because of this, Chunlou's mother specially hired a boat to pick us up, and said that as long as you want to come back to Lingfeng Island, then you can come back at any time. This is because Chunlou's mother used to be a woman from Lingfeng Island, so she took extra care of us. ”
Xiaolian's father sighed faintly, even his voice was dry, and it looked like there was a rough feeling.
"Xiaolian and my mother are already old, and it doesn't matter if we leave or not......"
When Xiaolian's father said this, he looked down at the three children next to him, and a helpless expression appeared on his face: "But...... They're not the same. ”
"That's why you let Xiaolian go to Chunyu Street?"
A glimmer of hope appeared in Zashiki's eyes, and he asked Xiaolian's father.
"Hmm."
Xiaolian's father replied as he stroked the youngest child's head with his hand.
"Actually, as long as you earn money that you can leave Lingfeng Island, then Xiaolian can leave with us......"
Xiaolian's father continued.
Such a reason made Chen Beibei a little unacceptable, although he was a little helpless, although he seemed to have to do it.
But, because of this, let your own women go to that place.
It's still a little hard to accept.
"Then, Xiaolian was found and died on the beach?"
Chen Beibei asked.
That was ten days after Xiaolian went to Chunyu Street, and Xiaolian had never been able to convince herself to accept those strange men. That's probably because of this...... That's what led to her death. ”
Xiaolian's father replied.
A little calm.
Talking so much about his daughter's death.
Since there is no anger, no excitement, not even a painful look......
Chen Beibei's heart couldn't help but feel a trace of anger, because there seemed to be a feeling of indifference in Xiaolian's father's attitude.
Xiaolian is just an ordinary girl.
Why did he send himself to Chunyu Street to make money for this family, and then after he died, he was still treated indifferently.
"Is it patriarchal?"
Chen Beibei had such a thought in his heart......
Xiaolian's father's hand has been gently caressing his youngest child, the only boy, and the other two older girls are curled up tightly and clutching their father's clothes, looking very frightened.
Get cold feet.
For strangers, it is also normal for girls to react like this.
All the more so in such a situation.
- At night, a group of strangers suddenly break into their home!
……
At night, the sea is black.
On the boundless sea, a ship was moving slowly, slowly, as if it were being pushed forward by the waves.
"Oh no, it's windy!"
One of the crew members shouted.
At this time, the sea began to surge, and the wind almost blew the whole ship away, and in this case, it was very dangerous to still move forward in the sea.
Death, even if it has hung over them.
"There seems to be a man on the surface of the sea......"
In the panic, one of the crew members pointed to the sea and shouted, loudly, with an incredible expression on his face.
A man did appear on the surface of the sea!
And this person, standing not far from the boat, the waves rolling, that person standing on the sea, following the waves, sometimes high and sometimes low, but it gives people a very calm feeling.
"It's not going to be the owner of the sea, is it?"
An elderly crew member looked at the people standing on the surface of the sea and said slowly.
However, there seemed to be a glimmer of hope in the eyes of the old crew, because it was rumored that the owner of the sea would overturn some boats.
However, if the owner of the sea can meet his request, then the owner of the sea may leave, and the sea will be calm again.
"Give me all the fish you caught!"
The owner of the sea square stood in front of the boat and said slowly.
Although the sound of the waves was loud, the voice of the owner of the sea still reached the ears of those crew members clearly. Unaffected by the sound of the waves.
"Fish! Fish! Give him the fish!! ”
The old crew shouted.
The others didn't understand the reasoning, but they did it......
It's over, I forgot to write it, three minutes late......
