Li Qianmo looked down at the time on her watch, and found that it was already 5:55 in the evening.

There were still five minutes before the departure time, but it now took them at least twenty minutes to get to the place where the boat was leaving.

"It seems that the time is too late, are we going to stay in this place tonight?"

Li Qianmo looked at everything desolate around her, and suddenly felt a little helpless.

The boat is gone, and they can't say swim back!

Huo Ting sighed deeply and said, "Let's stay first, it seems that we can only do this, and leave tomorrow morning on the first fishing boat." ”

I just want to leave tonight, but I guess I can't go.

Li Qianmo glanced around, when she just passed, there was no hotel along the road.

"There doesn't seem to be a place to live around here."

Li Qianmo sighed.

Shall they both be on this seashore and listen to the sound of the waves all night?

Suddenly, as if she had thought of a way, she hurriedly asked, "Otherwise, let's go and ask Mr. Yuan Ye for help?" ”

Huo Tingshen smiled, what they had just passed was not Mr. Yuanye's house, and that small house was really pitiful.

Thanks to Mr. Harano living alone now, if he had a wife and children, he probably wouldn't be able to live there.

"Just his little broken house, it's already very good to be able to fit him alone, and he probably doesn't have any friends around here, forget it, let's see for ourselves, and see if there are any simple hotels on this island." Huo Tingshen said.

But Li Qianmo didn't expect much from this hypothesis.

As soon as you look around, you can see that there must be no hotel.

The local tourism industry is not developed, and it is not particularly easy to find a decent hotel.

However, they also had no intention of causing trouble for Mr. Harano, Mr. Harano's cabin, as Huo Tingshen said, was too broken.

They've just seen it, and it's only one room at most.

If the two of them want to go in, will they drive Mr. Harano out?

That old gentleman, he is still a person who is extremely afraid of trouble, so forget it, don't make the old gentleman unhappy when the time comes, regret it, and don't help them make ready-to-wear clothes.

Then Li Qianmo really lost a lot.

All they hope now is to find a local fisherman, a little older who can take them in.

The two were on their way back when they happened to see a middle-aged woman about 40 years old.

The woman came from a distance, with lots and lots of fishing nets in her hands.

Her skin was tanned by the sun, and the hair on her head was probably a little blonde because it was so sunburned.

With all her might, she pulled the net up, and it was evident that it was laborious.

Huo Tingshen hurriedly stepped forward and helped her carry the fishing net a little, and the woman looked at the two fair-skinned people in front of her and knew that they were definitely not locals.

None of the locals had the same skin color, and neither were the two of them dressed.

Speaking in a local dialect, the woman asked, "Little sister, are you here to travel with your boyfriend?" ”

Li Qianmo was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed look, "Eh, yes, Auntie, do you have a place to live on this island?" ”

Li Qianmo smiled awkwardly, and didn't explain so much, now she just hopes to find a suitable hotel.

"Auntie, we missed the boat back and can't go back."

After thinking about it, the woman shook her head, there really is no one on this island who runs a hotel.

There are no outsiders coming, and there are no people living in the hotel, everyone has a home.

"Otherwise, you two, stay in my house first, my family lives in the easternmost part of the village, over there, you can still watch the sunrise in the morning, you can stay for the night for the time being."

The fishermen on the island are simple and helpful.

Seeing that someone needed help, this aunt immediately offered kind help.

Li Qianmo immediately said excitedly, "Thank you so much, Auntie!" ”

However, when she arrived at her aunt's house, she found that it was a very small courtyard house, and there were three houses in the courtyard that could live in people.

One house was occupied by the aunt's children, another room was occupied by the aunt and her husband, and the other room near the east was vacant.

Originally, there were some miscellaneous items piled up in the room, but there were not many miscellaneous items inside.

There happens to be a bed that can be used for her and Huo Tingshen, but are they going to sleep in a room tonight?

Li Qianmo thought about it in her heart, and still felt a little weird.

However, in this poor rural place, it is good to be able to find a place to sleep.

If they didn't live here, would the two of them have to sleep on the island?

When the time comes, it will not be good for the poisonous snake to crawl out at night.

After thinking about it, Li Qianmo still felt that it was safer to live with her aunt.

If she is hypocritical, she is causing chaos for others, which is not good.

"Auntie, thank you so much for taking us in, if it weren't for you taking us in, we really wouldn't have anywhere to go!"

Li Qianmo really didn't know how to thank this aunt.

But she didn't have anything in her backpack, just some design drawings and drawing tools.

I saw that there were two children in my aunt's house, one was about seven or eight years old, and the other should be thirteen or fourteen years old.

Li Qianmo saw that they were holding a small book in their hands and were reading it seriously.

Both children are pupils at the only elementary school in the town, and they are less likely to be educated in the town.

There is only one primary school in the vicinity, and there is only one volunteer teacher in the primary school, and I heard that this volunteer teacher will be leaving in two years.

Teachers usually teach them Chinese, math, and English, but at most they can only teach them to read and write.

Other knowledge can't be taught too much, and most of them will follow their parents to go fishing together after they know how to read.

Whether it's a boy or a girl, their fate is like this.

The aunt could only smile awkwardly when she saw that Li Qianmo had been staring at the two children.

She glanced at her yellow-faced and skinny child, and then said helplessly, "We are like this on the island, and it is good to be able to teach children to write, so I can only say that we should not let them suffer the loss of illiteracy." ”

If the children here want to go out, it is even more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Even if they have very bright brains, it is not particularly easy to get into a good university and leave this small fishing village.

Li Qianmo looked at the small pencil head held by the child in his hand, and felt a little sad.

She hurriedly untied the black backpack she was carrying and took out a pencil case inside.

"Auntie, I'll leave this to the children."

She didn't have anything on her, except for a few pens in this pen case.

There is also some paper for drawing.

When the aunt saw Li Qianmo take out these colorful stationery, she immediately shook her head.

They rarely see anything like this in a fishing village.

On weekdays, I can only buy one or two pencils from the small commodity store in front of the fishing village for my children to write.

However, most of those pencils were Chinese brand products, and they had a very thick layer of ash.

Ah San of the store said that those pencils are usually shipped back for a whole year, and they may not be able to sell three.
