After about an hour, Yun Yeyao asked, "Uncle Li, where is the artificial island?" Why haven't you seen it yet? ”

"You're probably scared because it's too dark, right? Don't worry, with Mr. Criminal Police here, I can't do anything as an old man. Well, it's about half an hour, and then we'll be there, and you'll have a good rest, and at about nine or ten o'clock in the evening, there will be a show in the artificial island square, and guests can also participate. ”

"Uncle Li, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to get to the artificial island quickly and have a look." Yun Yeyao hurriedly explained.

Lao Nuo smiled at him, and did not say anything more, but propped the oars hard, so that the boat moved forward a little faster, and the wind kept whistling on the umbrella cloth in the bow, making the umbrella cloth bulge forward like a sail.

Uncle Li put down his work, stood up, and explained seriously: "The Chongming Bird is indeed an ancient divine bird, its shape is like a chicken, but its chirping sound is like a phoenix, especially its two eyeballs, which shine like two fine pearls, so it can also be called a heavy eye bird." ”

"This bird has great strength, can drive away tigers and leopards, fight demons, so, the ancient people called it the bird of the five virtues, do you know which five virtues are the five virtues? It is what people often call benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith. We hope that the person who buys the umbrella can also have these five virtues. That's why we named the umbrella we made as a heavy light. ”

"There is another meaning in this," Aunt Ye interjected, "We hope that the person holding the heavy lantern will not have another accident no matter when and where, whether it is on the lake or at sea, and can live a safe and healthy life." ”

Aunt Ye's words seemed to mean something, and Xiaodou immediately asked rhetorically, "Another accident?" Could it be that there have been accidents on the Great Lake before? ”

"Okay, let's go!"

Yun Yeyao immediately quickened his pace, and Xie Yunmeng, who was walking in front of him, said: "Slow down, it's not a few minutes, you see everyone in front of you is busy, be careful when we walk over, don't push people." ”

Xie Yunmeng is right, a large area in the northwest of this artificial island is now full of people, as if they are building a stage for performances, many workers are busy there, and some people are sweeping the ground and arranging seats, which looks very lively.

If they want to go to the hotel in the east end, they have to pass between them, and although the artificial island is surrounded by guardrails, those who come up for the first time should be cautious.

Lao Nuo also said later: "What Mr. Xie said is not wrong, Mr. Yun, you better walk slowly, don't worry, we have time to talk when we get to the hotel." ”

"My father and I believed that the lake would one day be developed into a tourist destination, and that there might be parks, amusement parks, and other facilities to attract tourists. In this way, the hotel business will be booming. ”

"But this is only the superficial reason, in fact, our hotel in the city has failed, our relatives have gone to other places, my father has reached retirement age, and I have no ability to find a suitable job, so I decided to try my luck here."

After Lao Nuo opened the chatterbox, he began to babble non-stop, Xie Yunmeng saw the stitches and asked, "How old are you this year?" ”

"Sixty-seven years old." Lao Nuo said.

"Then when you were in your 40s, you must have been fifteen or sixteen years ago! In other words, your hotel has been open here for more than ten years, don't you want to go back to the city to live at all? It's a fast-changing place with a lot of business opportunities! ”

"Xiao Meng, that's not good for your stomach."

"It's okay, it's not that I've never been hungry, when I work with my teacher, all kinds of situations happen. A few hungry meals are just a trifle. Xie Yunmeng told the truth.

Yun Ye Yao approached him and asked, "Who is your teacher?" I've never seen it before, tell me my name. ”

"Teacher, he doesn't like men who are too weak, and when you are as strong as me, I will tell you the teacher's name."

"What!" Yun Yeyao was a little angry when he heard such an answer, turned around and said angrily: "I don't want to be as strong as you, fans don't like muscular men!" Xiao Meng, do you like me to be like that? ”

"I don't know why? Forget it, let's not talk about this topic, do you think it's okay now? Aunt Ye asked calmly, the night was already very deep, and she also began to feel sleepy.

But the man didn't want to change the topic, he said to Aunt Ye: "You shouldn't take Bi Fang's umbrella as a heavy light to show them, although they don't show any clues on the surface, you can't guarantee that they are not people who know the past." ”

"I didn't know that the bag would be Bi Fang's umbrella, I just took it wrong for a while, don't you mind, I tested that young man just now, he didn't understand what Bi Fang and Chongming meant, so, there won't be anything." You're not in good health right now, come back with me to rest! The medicine in the bottle is almost finished, and in two days, remember to buy some when you send them back. “

"Okay." The man's expression looked very helpless, and in the dark, his eyes kept staring at Aunt Ye's fat face, as if he wanted to see something from above.

"It's me, what's wrong with you?" Bean asked.

"I'm fine, but I ran too fast and fell, you quickly open the door and come in and help me."

After receiving Yueyue's request for help, Xiaodou was finally relieved, but he seemed to be relieved a little early. As soon as his front foot stepped into the door frame, he saw Yueyue's whole face down, lying on the floor, with a large bruise on her forehead, and even swollen, which made people feel very painful when she looked at it.

Xiaodou hurriedly helped Yueyue up, reached out and touched her forehead, feeling that her skin was hot, this time it was indeed not light, Xiaodou said to Uncle Li who came over: "Is there a red potion here?" ”

"Yes, I'll go get it, little girl, you're really too careless, why are you in such a hurry in the morning?" Uncle Li said a word of joy before turning around and walking downstairs.

"You've thought so well." Xiaodou praised him, Uncle Li reached out to help him remove his skin a little bit, and said to him: "There are large tanks filled with water in the kitchen and bathroom, and tap water cannot be installed here, so most of the domestic water we use, except for drinking water, is obtained by filtering lake water by ourselves, and drinking water is bottled water transported from outside, so you can use it with confidence." ”

"I see, thank you, Uncle Lee."

The two of them entered the bathroom and kitchen separately, and in an instant the silence at the bottom of the corridor was restored, Xiaodou and Uncle Li talked for so long, the kitchen was very strange, and no sound came out at all. Xiaodou probably wanted to finish washing up quickly and go upstairs to see Yueyue's situation, so she didn't care about the movement in the kitchen.

After saying this, she began to explain Yun Yeyao's question. "The space behind the stage is huge, don't underestimate this artificial island, it doesn't look very big on the surface, but there are actually a lot of places that can be developed and utilized. Those of us who have lived here all year round have explored this place thoroughly. The house of more than 20 people can not only live, but also can divide the small space that belongs to everyone, and they can live a nourishing life. ”

Xie Yunmeng interjected and said, "Uncle Li, it's too hard to talk like this, can't you turn off the music a little lighter?" ”

"No, it's not about taking care of the guests, it's about taking care of the deaf dancers from the village. Because of their small scale and amateur performance, they basically can't find performance opportunities in the city, so they rely on performing here every night to make a living. In fact, we paid them to come here for the purpose of helping them as much as we could. ”

Lao Nuo sighed and said: "I don't care if he is a confidant or a lover, forget it, I don't understand your affairs, but you remember to do things in a measured way, don't let them find out your details." ”

"I know, Lao Nuo, you go and get busy, I'll stay here for a while."

"Okay, it's time to dismantle the stage in less than an hour, you take a break first, there are still a lot of things to be busy with later, remember my words, don't bother the criminal police and actors again, you know?"

"Got it! Got it! Lao Nuo, you are really getting older and more verbose, let's go! ”

Kang Chen drove Lao Nuo away, moved a little position, sat next to the cloak, he lay on the cloak and pretended to doze off, in fact, those eyes never closed, looking at the lake and pondering, no one knew what he was thinking?

She hesitated for a long time before asking, "What will you do after you go back this time?" ”

In an instant, something seemed to flash in Xiaodou's calm eyes. He didn't hesitate, but quickly said: "Wait for me for two years, after two years, I will definitely let you marry me in style." ”

"Really?" Yueyue couldn't believe her ears, and raised her head to look at Xiaodou, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Really," Shodou replied to the girl with an unwavering heart, "I will make you more beautiful than any bride, so, Yueyue, will you wait for me?" ”

"When, of course I will wait!" Yueyue seemed to be a different person, her spirit was suddenly refreshed, she stood up straight, stared at Xiaodou's eyes and said, "Don't lie to me, if you dare to let me waste two years of youth, I will pester you for 20 years, until you become an old man, do you hear?" ”

Yueyue asked, "Who drew the pattern under the heavy light umbrella?" ”

"It was painted by Aunt Ye, she is a very good painter, and sometimes I learn to paint. It's all handmade, we don't have a printing press here, we don't go to the city to print, and even the colors on the fabric are dyed by hand. ”

"The more you talk about it, the more I want to have one of these umbrellas, can you tell Uncle Li that I will help him work and change an umbrella?" Yue Yue begged.

"This one...... When Uncle Li comes back from the hotel, I'll tell him about it, it should be okay, Uncle Li is a very talkative person, and there have been customers who can't afford to buy an umbrella in the past who asked him to ask for it, and he gave him an umbrella without letting the family work. ”

"It's not good not to work, I don't want to take other people's things for nothing, you just tell Uncle Li that I must work before I am willing to ask for his umbrella."
