Chapter 691: Acquisition
Jing Shuying sat in the car, leaned on the window for a while and looked out to see where the car had gone, and then picked up her mobile phone and wanted to call her grandfather, but she was afraid that her grandfather would be worried, so she didn't dare to dial the phone out.
Chu Zhiyao saw Jing Shuying's anxious appearance, although he knew that any words of comfort were pale and weak now, but he couldn't bear to see Jing Shuying's flustered appearance, he still couldn't help but want to comfort Jing Shuying.
"Yingying, don't panic, we are already on the way to Star Island, since my grandfather didn't call us, it means that he shouldn't be in danger, you sleep quietly first, we'll be there when you wake up, take care of your spirits, if something really happens at that time, you can also have more strength to deal with those problems!"
Jing Shuying wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, her anxious appearance didn't do any good except to make the two people around her more worried, it was better to sleep like Chu Zhiyao said, nourish your spirits, and deal with affairs seriously afterwards after waking up.
So Jing Shuying nodded and lay on Chu Zhiyao's lap, ready to make up for sleep.
Although it is said that she wants to have a good rest, because there are many things in her heart, Jing Shuying is not stable when she sleeps, and when she is half asleep and half awake, Jing Shuying notices that the car has stopped.
"Have you arrived?"
Dr. Brown looked back at Jing Shuying, "Yes, we arrived at the sea near Star Island, and then we are going to take a boat back to the island, I don't sleep well, I feel like you still don't have any energy." Don't worry too much, my godfather and I will take care of everything. ”
Dr. Brown looked at Jing Shuying's somewhat haggard face and tried his best to comfort her.
Jing Shuying just nodded silently after hearing this.
It is useless to say more, Dr. Brown got out of the car and began to prepare to find a boat to go to Star Island, but unexpectedly, he found that there were many more unknown boats in the usually sparsely populated port, the number of fishermen had also increased greatly, and there were many faces that he had never seen at all, these abnormal scenes made Dr. Brown nervous.
Dr. Brown was walking along the harbor and happened to meet a familiar fisherman, who had been fishing in the harbor for many years, and Dr. Brown was still reassuring of him, so Dr. Brown quickly stopped him.
"Lao Wang, long time no see! How have you been doing? Is business okay? ”
The old fisherman looked at it and saw that it was Dr. Brown, so he smiled and said hello in return.
"It's Dr. Brown, why are you back when you're free? Recently, life has been relatively smooth, but business is really not good, recently there are a lot of strange people in the port, many people keep driving boats to the sea, so that we old fishermen can not fish well, and business has plummeted. ”
"Someone from outside? Isn't there always a lot of communication with the outside world in our village? Why are there so many strange people all of a sudden, I almost thought I had gone wrong when I got out of the car just now? Dr. Brown wanted to hear more from the old fishermen.
"Have those people from outside been doing anything lately? Don't you want to do something bad to our village, it makes me a little panicked. ”
The old fisherman shook his head and replied.
"After all, it is impossible for people from outside to give our village any benefits, not only do they prevent us from going out to sea every day to fish, but also some people who look very rich in clothes a few days ago say that they want to buy our entire village."
Lao Wang thought for a while and continued: "I only knew it after listening to the village chief, and I don't know what they think, why did they suddenly come to buy a remote village like ours, how could they agree?" ”
Buying up a village? Hearing the old fisherman's answer, Dr. Brown was simply stunned.
Yes, in the eyes of ordinary people, this small village is just an ordinary backward fishing village that does not communicate with the outside world, but those who really know understand it.
If this small fishing village falls into the hands of criminals, maybe the whereabouts of Star Island will also be discovered by the world, and there will be great turmoil on Star Island at that time.
Thinking of this, Dr. Brown said goodbye to the old fisherman casually, and began to walk back to the car quickly, and saw from a distance that Jing Shuying and Chu Zhiyao were still listening around for news, and Dr. Brown hurriedly beckoned the two to his side.
"What's wrong? Uncle Brown, did you receive any news? The only information we have just inquired about is that many outsiders have come to this village, and we have not heard more specific information yet. Jing Shuying ran over to Dr. Brown and said breathlessly.
"I've basically gathered all the useful information, I just asked an old fisherman about the situation, it is true that many outsiders have come to this village recently, and their purpose may be very simple, the old village chief said that some of these outsiders want to buy the whole village."
Chu Zhiyao replied while comforting Jing Shuying, who was still panting.
"From a merchant's point of view, this small fishing village is remote and narrow, and there is no value for acquisition, but if someone knows about Star Island and wants to find out the route out of Star Island to deal with the old island owner, then they will probably try their best to take this port into their own hands, so I think their purpose is likely to be Star Island."
Dr. Brown nodded.
"Yes, I think the purpose of those outsiders must be Star Island, that's right, I think it's because those outsiders are still not sure of the specific location of Star Island, and they can't go to Star Island, so they want to continue to listen to the news in the surrounding area.
"Let's hurry up and find a way to avoid the sight of those outsiders first, go to the island, and then discuss with our godfather what to do after that."
"Well, let's go now, then."
The news heard in the small fishing village could only tell Jing Shuying that someone had set their sights on Xingchen Island, but the follow-up more detailed content could not be searched at all, and there was no other way, Jing Shuying and the three of them could only think of quickly boarding Xingchen Island, contacting the old island owner, sharing information with each other, so as to discuss and solve this problem together.
Dr. Brown saw that the weather was not bad today, cloudless, and due to the urgency of time, he did not propose to rest, and directly led Jing Shuying and the others to a small boat placed in the harbor.
The boat swayed out of the harbor without attracting attention at all, and only Dr. Brown had experience in driving ships on the entire ship, so Jing Shuying and the two of them could only sit quietly in the cabin, waiting for the person to arrive at Star Island.
