Chapter 254: Spirit Wind Island 3
The two women who died in Scarborough Town, Chen Beibei and they have also inquired.
It's just a strange girl from out of town.
The other is the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who was sent to Chunyu Street by her parents, named Xiaolian, who is relatively innocent in appearance, and often has a trace of timidity on her face.
This is what those women on Chunyu Street said to Chen Beibei.
"Let's go see the girl's family."
When Zashiki said this, he was on the way from Chunyu Street to Chen Beibei's rented room, and at this time, it was already night.
"What did you say?"
Chen Beibei looked at the Zashiki boy and asked her.
Zashiki Boy rarely takes the initiative to make some requests, so Chen Beibei has some suspicions that he heard it wrong.
"Master, let's go see Xiaolian's family......"
Zashiki said again.
The reason why Zashiki Tongzi said this is probably because Xiaolian's experience made Zashiki Tongzi have some emotional resonance, after all, they are all people with tragic fate.
Compared to what happened to Zashiki Boy, Xiaolian seems to be a little better.
Zashiki boy is a kind of monster who hopes that the world is full of sunshine and no pain, and his heart has always been full of positive energy.
But, even so.
Zashiki boys also often feel pain, especially when they hear about the tragic experiences of others.
It's as if those encounters were things that fell on me, the same discomfort, the same desire to break free.
After experiencing the real darkness, you will desire the light from the heart.
Zashiki boy is just such a monster.
"Well, Zashiki boy, let's go with you."
Chen Beibei probably understood Zashiki Tongzi's inner thoughts, so he agreed, even if it was already night, he might as well take a trip.
Xiaolian is on a small island, not far from the small town of Scarborough.
There are very few inhabitants on the island, and they almost all depend on fishing for their livelihood, and there is no other source of income.
"Xiaolian's father injured his leg when he went to sea once, and there was almost no way to do some fishing at sea. This also means that Xiaolian's family has no financial resources, and their lives have become very poor. She also has two younger sisters and a younger brother at home, probably for the sake of her younger siblings, so that her parents will bring her to Chunyu Street to sell her body, in exchange for some money to support her younger siblings. ”
These words were said by the mother of the Chunlou where Xiaolian was alive.
"If you come here to play, it's basically the merchants of Scarborough Town, these people will leave this town after forty-five days of trading, and Xiaolian can return to her normal life again, so ...... That's good, too. ”
Although Chunlou's mother is already a little old, she still maintains a clean makeup, quite a charm that still exists, when she said this, Chunlou's mother sighed softly, like the petals that withered from the tree in spring, slowly falling into the water......
Seeing through the warmth and coldness of the world and understanding some of the hardships, it is precisely because of this that I feel that the body, reputation, and longing for love will become less important in the face of certain things, and even have to give up when necessary.
Walking on the way to Xiaolian's house, Chen Beibei's mind kept recalling some things about Xiaolian that Chunlou's mother said.
Of course, some of this is just conjecture.
For example, Xiaolian came here to sell her body just to support her younger brothers and sisters, this is just Chunlou's mother's conjecture, of course, it is very likely that this is indeed the case.
……
"Is there a ship at such a late hour?"
The Snow Girl stood beside Chen Beibei and asked him.
The sea was pitch black, the moon and stars were very dim, and the sea looked black, giving people a feeling of fear.
To get to the island where Xiaolian lives, you have to take a boat and walk through a waterway to reach it.
"Perhaps."
Chen Beibei said.
The town of Scarborough is so lively now, at night, many people are still in the carnival, in this case, there will probably be some boatmen who want to make some money and improve the living conditions of their families, even fishermen, after all, fishermen who live by the sea generally have their own fishing boats.
Zashiki boy has been following behind Chen Beibei, the expression on his face looks very worried, Yingcao is holding Zashiki boy's hand, and the two of them are walking side by side.
"Master, I'll look for it."
Gu Huoniao said.
There are no boats moored near the ferry port waiting for guests, but everyone has already arrived here at the moment, so naturally they will not go back here.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei looked at Gu Huoniao and replied.
After Gu Huoniao left, Chen Beibei and the others leaned on the railing of the ferry, took a short rest, and looked at the slowly surging black water.
Chen Beibei's thoughts couldn't help but return to Chunyu Street again.
In the dark red, ambiguous light room, the charm of Chunlou's mother sat in front of Chen Beibei, in the middle of the two people is a red nan wood table, a pot of boiling wine emitted a faint aroma of wine, and the incense at the foot of the bed mixed together, giving people a trance-like feeling.
"Although Xiaolian has been here with me for a while, she has never received a guest, after all, it is the first time. Xiaolian is reluctant to give the first time to those filthy guests, which I can understand. So I never pushed her. Not long ago, a beautiful man with red hair came to our shop...... Maybe the word beautiful is not suitable for men, but really...... There are no other words to describe him. Even a woman like me, who has seen countless men, would be moved, and if I could, I would like to have a chance with him. ”
When Chunlou's mother said this, her face flushed, and she looked a little shy, which was really the most unlikely expression on such a woman's face.
However, because of Chunlou's mother's dignified appearance, there is not much sense of disobedience, but it gives people a natural feeling.
Probably a very beautiful man.
"The guest took a fancy to Xiaolian, and he took the initiative to ask me if Xiaolian could accompany him for one night. To be honest, when I heard the man's inquiry, I had a feeling of envy for Xiaolian, but I was also really happy for Xiaolian...... To be able to give my first time to such a man is probably a blessing in misfortune. Even if you don't have feelings, you won't feel sad when you think of those scenes in the future. ”
A slight wind blew in the small town of Scarborough, the red veil on the window slowly fluttered, and the expression on the face of Chunlou's mother was a trace of regret.
"It's a pity, since Xiaolian will die in that way......"
Chen Beibei supported the railing with his elbows, and then supported his chin with both hands, looking at the slowly surging black water......
This posture has been going on for a long time.
Thoughts also flew farther and farther.
"Master, this uncle said he could take me to Lingfeng Island."
Gu Huoniao's voice sounded in Chen Beibei's ears, pulling Chen Beibei's thoughts back, Lingfeng Island is Xiaolian's home, the island where it is located.
Chen Beibei's gaze fell on Gu Won Bird, and next to Gu Won Bird stood a man in his fifties and sixties who was dressed very plainly.
Thin body with dark skin.
It's probably the appearance of being weathered.
"Well, that'...... Please go now, it's so late and it's not safe to go to sea, so you will pay a little more for the boat. ”
Chen Beibei said.
"Just the normal fare."
Uncle said.
Then the sails were drawn, and the boat was on the sea, up and down, gradually moving away, towards Reikaze Island, and from a distance, it would feel very small and small, like a dead leaf.
……
"Mussel spirit, wake up."
Jiaotu shook the young man beside him and said to him.
The two of them slept for almost a day and a night, and when Jiaotu woke up, it was already dark. But at this time, my stomach was already hungry, so I had to wake up the mussel spirit.
The mussel spirit woke up from its deep sleep, and even if it was woken up, there was still no trace of displeasure on the mussel spirit's face.
"Jiaotu, what's wrong?"
Mussel Jing rubbed his eyes and asked Jiaotu.
"I ...... I'm hungry......"
Jiaotu replied by pressing his hand on his stomach.
At this time, Jiaotu was indeed hungry, because after sleeping for a day, it meant that he had not eaten all day.
"Then we'll go to the sea, and I'll go find you something to eat."
Beng Jing looked at Jiaotu and said to her.
"No, if we go back now, then it will take a lot of time for us to come again, the death of that girl, and whether Xia Mu is good or bad, we haven't figured it out."
Jiaotu said seriously.
"But if we don't go back, we won't be able to find food in the human world. And...... And in the human world, if you want to exchange it for food, you need something. ”
Mussel Jing said.
This kind of thing is money.
"Hmm...... I know, then, let's find a way to get some money now. ”
Jiaotu said.
It's not easy to make money, even humans who are familiar with how to make money, it's hard to make enough money, Jiaotu and Mussel Essence, two little monsters, not to mention.
"Jiaotu, do you know how to make money?"
Mussel Jing asked suspiciously.
"I don't know, so ...... I just said 'get'."
Pepper replied.
Ten minutes later, Jiaotu and Bengjing arrived in a small alley not far from the tavern, where an unlucky drunk man was quietly waiting.
The alley was filled with a foul smell.
Such a place, because there are few people, so there are often some drunk people who come here to pee or something, although it is very uncivilized, but this place, it is like this.
There are people everywhere who don't know each other, and what they do is even more indifferent.
"Jiaotu, do you really want to do this?"
Holding a brick in his hand, Beng Jing looked at Jiaotu and asked suspiciously.
"Hmm."
Jiaotu replied in the affirmative.
Before, Jiao Tu had already instructed the clam essence that bricks could only be used as a last resort, and if they could get their wallets smoothly, then run quickly.
If you want to live in the human world, Jiaotu, the only way I can think of now is this.
Of course, there is another one.
is like the woman on Chunyu Street, it is impossible for Jiaotu to choose that path, because in that case, even if he can live in the human world, there is no meaning.
What Pepper Chart is looking for.
It is a sweet love, a pure blue love that is the same color as yourself.
Soon, a drunken man walked into this small alley, and his pants were halfway off.
"Hurry up, grab it and run."
Jiaotu looked at the clam spirit and shouted to him.
The man was so drunk that his reaction became a lot slower, and even though he heard Jiaotu's words, he was easily snatched away by the clam spirit.
Mussel Jing did listen to Jiaotu's words, and ran away after grabbing it.
However, Jiaotu was stopped alone by a drunk man in a small alley, which was very narrow, and the man's body almost blocked the way.
Jiaotu was a little anxious.
However, he still pushed the drunk away and ran past the drunk.
In the panic, a blue shoe was left behind.
It's a very simple cloth shoe.
……
After nearly two hours of drifting at sea, Chen Beibei and the others finally arrived at Xiaolian's hometown, Lingfeng Island.
After paying the boat fare.
The lonely boatman, rocking his boat again, slowly disappeared into the black sea.
If a huge wave rolls up at sea, the boatman may die......
"What a desolate island."
Guan Hu looked at the surrounding scene and said slowly.
This small island is indeed very desolate, the vegetation is very sparse, there is bare loess everywhere, and I have just landed on the island, and I have not yet seen the houses where the residents live.
"Let's hurry up and find Xiaolian's house."
Chen Beibei said.
It's a small inhabited island, and that's obvious, as you can see the wheat and corn planted on the ground.
Gu Bird and Inujin walked in front, leading the way, and also inquired about the situation ahead.
Chen Beibei and the others followed behind the two of them.
"If you live in a place like this, if something happens, you'll probably starve."
Zashiki said slowly.
If the land is fertile, then the island is not bad, but this island, obviously, is not like this, and the growth of crops is not ideal.
Probably not too much grain can be grown.
In this case, if the weather is not good, drought and continuous rainfall will make the already scarce food become less.
Sometimes you don't even get back the money you pay for seeds and fertilizer.
"Well, however, the residents of Lingfeng Island have probably lived here for many years, and they can live for so many years, so even if they are hungry, it is not so unbearable for them."
Snow Girl replied.
Living in this environment all the time, even if it is painful and poor, in fact, it will be made less fearful by the dull time.
It can even become a part of life.
And then in this hard life, find some happiness.
Zashiki boy can understand that the words of the Snow Girl probably mean this.
Salary, last month on twenty-nine and a half days of work, a total of 4724 yuan, (7:400 in the morning to work, 9:00 in the evening, the evening time is not fixed, in rare cases, will get off work at more than eight o'clock, generally after nine o'clock, depending on the mood of management, plus to ten o'clock, it is also very normal.) Well, in the factory, that's probably it!
