Chapter Eighty-Three: Difficulties
At dawn the next day, Fu Laohan slipped to Chen Fei's wooden house with a pipe in his hand.
He stood outside the door, his face constantly changing, and finally spat on it, and let out a series of embarrassed laughs from the corners of his mouth, and gently pushed the door of the wooden house.
Squeak.
The door opened, and the room was empty, the quilts neatly folded at the head of the bed.
"What about people?"
Fu Laohan stomped his feet, stayed where he was, muttered to himself for a while, and then took a few more puffs of his pipe before turning around and walking towards the beach.
Tuya is a delicate flower among the girls on Binglang Island, but the problem is that Chen Fei stayed with her for one night and didn't do anything.
This is on you, can you believe it?
Don't ask Old Man Fu why he knows, he just came from Tuya's side.
The girl changed her unrestrained and enthusiastic style yesterday, confided in Fu Laohan with an embarrassed face, and sobbed and finished what happened last night.
"It seems that these two young people are not here, it's difficult to do!"
Fu Laohan's forehead immediately wrinkled into a Sichuan character, and he pondered in his heart how to persuade the two shipwrecked sailors to stay on Binglang Island, and it was best to take root here.
Marry a girl and leave offspring.
During the day, he went out to fish, and after returning home, he continued to work hard in the wooden house, making an indelible contribution to the development of Penang Island.
Why?
It's not that there are too few strong men on Penang Island, to be exact, since the strong men on the island died in a storm in the sea with a boat three years ago, life on the island has been sad.
It was still in the Second World War, many countries were at war, wars were frequent, there were deserters and robbers everywhere, and those trading companies that relied on water to draft and beg for a living in the water were doing business with people under the guise of daytime, and at night they took off a layer of skin and became pirates who robbed everywhere.
Sailors robbed food and money when they saw them, and killed when they were hindered.
The men died in the sea, or in fights, or in robbery and robbery, and not a month was born.
All that was left behind were little widows and unmarried little girls, and there were old men and women who had survived the war and robbery.
Malaysia is also full of contradictions, the big cities are better, there are local armed forces to maintain law and order, and some of the peripheral states are completely governed by big families and governments.
Located in a small pimple in the northwest, Penang Island is full of primitive lifestyles, in a word, there is strength in the number of people, and the more strong men on any small island, the more sea areas it occupies, the more fish it catches, and the more people it feeds.
The island needs strong men to guard, strong men to go out to sea, men to spread out, in short, there is a shortage of men on the island, especially between the ages of 16 and 45.
This is the reason why Chen Fei and Degas were robbed by the girls last night.
The island is so big, Chen Fei can't go far without a boat, Fu Laohan thought as he walked, thinking about how to persuade the two young people to stay.
Threatened with life-saving grace?
is too ruthless and not kind enough, for fear of arousing the rebellious psychology of young people.
Sending girls and gentle townships?
I just tried it last night, and I got one, and it didn't work well for the other.
What else can I do?
"No, you have to keep these two guys."
Otherwise, our Penang Island has been a happy place for those pirate sailors in the vicinity all our lives, belonging to the rear open brothel that runs away after the cannon is fired, and the pants are not recognized, and each time there is only a piece of chicken feathers left.
There are no more young people, and in the future, our group of old guys will not be able to move, and the little babies have not grown up yet, how can they live?
Old man Fu went around and finally met Chen Fei under a coconut tree by the sea.
The latter leaned against the trunk of a tree, facing the sea, clasped together in his hands, full of melancholy.
Since learning of Zhou Zunfeng's wishes, the system has not moved since then, and according to its usual practice, in addition to gaining freedom, it also has to make up for its regrets.
But isn't Zhou Zunfeng's regret to save his good friend Degas together?
Degas's goods have been in a drought for a long time recently, and there are two more aunts and wives all of a sudden, and they come to reach out for food every day to open their mouths, don't be too happy.
Didn't Zhou Zunfeng's regret fall on Degas?
Somehow, Chen Fei's mind crossed the old face of Lao Zhoutou, and he pondered for a while, patted his buttocks and stood up, and turned his head to see the old man Fu with a flattering smile appeared in front of him.
"That, Xiao Zhou, how was it last night?"
After Fu Laohan finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself twice, isn't this which pot can't be opened?
"It's okay!"
Chen Fei replied with two words awkwardly, and both of them kept silent about the girl who was unusually enthusiastic last night.
He didn't know Fu Laohan's intention to find him, and he happened to have something to ask Fu Laohan for.
He wanted to ask about the way back to the mainland.
He thought about it just now, Zhou Zunfeng's regret either fell on Degas's funeral, or on the old Zhou Tou who was still squatting and confined in Butterfly Island Prison.
He decided to try them one by one.
Either way, completing the mission and going home to claim the reward is a goal that he has never changed.
Fu Laohan found a shady place, stretched out his hand to pull away the gravel and leaves on the ground, and squatted down cross-legged.
Chen Fei also found a place to sit down next to him, he hesitated for a moment, but still decided to ask: "Uncle Fu, thank you for saving your life, I want to ask if there are any difficulties on the island that can be used by us, you just ask." ”
Fu Laohan's heart chuckled, and then a burst of ecstasy welled up.
Could it be that these two people have enlightened?
He licked his lips happily and was about to open his mouth, but just as he was about to speak, he heard Chen Fei say this again.
"We plan to leave in the near future, and we want to ask you if there is a ship back to the mainland."
"Of course, before leaving, if there is any difficulty on the island, we will see if we can help solve it."
Chen Fei stayed on the island for a few days, and he understood the situation on the island.
The island is about seven or eight miles away, and except for two-thirds of the area is rocky and mountainous, the remaining one-third is where the current residents of the island settle.
There are beaches, sand and coconut palms, and plenty of empty huts to live in, and a few acres of barren fields down the hillside, which have been cultivated like treasures by the old ladies, and planted with some common vegetables and fruits.
It can be said that all the food on the island depends on fishing in the sea, but there are not many adult strong men.
That's weird.
Chen Fei deduced from this that the other party must have difficulties.
They saved their lives, and they deserve something in return before leaving.
