"It's safe to enter the river beach, although it's not an explicit rule, but it's a default rule for everyone, after all, there are so many people here, if you fight, it can easily cause a large-scale riot." Liu Sha reluctantly pulled out a smile and explained.

The rocks of the river beach are covered with moss, the banks are intertwined with huge ancient trees, and the river has entered a dry period, leaving only a thin stream in the middle. A couple of fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys were tugging at a ball of blue clothes and fumbling in the river, and next to them sat four or five unkempt women, curled up in a ball, like sparrows shivering on a rainy night. The river beach is mostly populated by adult males, who either gather in groups to discuss something, or huddle alone in a corner and moan in pain.

These people, like themselves, are contractors on this island.

"What the hell is this place, I'm going back!"

“... Mom, I want to go home! ”

"Damn, who's going to explain where this is?!"

"You fucking fart, what a seven-fold island, I don't believe it!"

"What should I do, I'm so hungry......"

The screams of dying animals came from all directions.

The roars and shouts of others in despair made Xiang Qingwu's originally restless uneasiness and fear forcibly suppressed.

People are like that, when you find that others are more unbearable than you, you have a sense of superiority, even if you are in the same bad environment, but at least you don't show their pitiful embarrassment.

"It seems that there are a lot of newcomers here today." Liu Sha looked around and said with mixed feelings.

Xiang Qingwu looked at this huge gathering place as she walked, she noticed that the people here were the same as Liu Sha, the men and women were dressed very revealingly, and almost all of them did not have their hair coiled, and there were many strange things placed in the open space, and she even saw someone holding a small box the size of a palm and talking excitedly inside, and the small box was shining brightly.

There was a sudden "bang" sound in his ears, and Xiang Qingwu quickly grabbed Liu Sha and flashed to the side.

Almost at the same time, a figure was thrown out of the hut, and he smashed it on the fire that had not yet been extinguished on the opposite side, and the flames quickly ignited his clothes, and the man screamed, and even crawled to his feet, wailing and undressing, and the people next to him did not help when they saw it, so they stood aside and watched with cold eyes.

Four men came out of the hut, the front man had a scar on his face, from his forehead along the bridge of his nose to the corner of his mouth, his eyes were like hungry wolves pounced, and his tall body gave people an invisible sense of oppression.

"His name is Hong Biao, I heard that he used to be a murderer, Sister Qingwu, let's stop looking at it, let's leave quickly." Liu Sha whispered in horror and pulled Xiang Qingwu's sleeve.

Xiang Qingwu nodded, his gaze swept over the palm that Hong Biao had been holding on his waist, thoughtfully.

The two of them turned around and left, and when they were far away, they could still hear the man's howl like killing a pig.

"Didn't you say that private fights are forbidden on the riverbank?" Xiang Qingwu asked.

Liu Sha said, "What is forbidden is only the fight between the team and the team, the person who was beaten just now is Hong Biao's subordinate, people take care of their own affairs, and others are not qualified to interfere, besides, everyone has seen Hong Biao's ruthlessness, and people still have guns in their hands, who dares to go against him." ”

"Guns?" Xiang Qingwu frowned and asked, "Is it the one he pinned to his waist?" ”

Liu Sha nodded, "Well, I heard that he suddenly came to Qiju Island when he escaped from prison, so he happened to have a gun on him when he came, Sister Qingwu, you must remember that you can't mess with anyone from the Hong Gang." ”

In just five days, have the people here already begun to form different groups? Xiang Qingwu looked at Liu Sha who was leading the way in front of him with deep eyes, and subconsciously clenched the bow and arrow in his hand.

According to Liu Sha, their group is called "Light of Hope", and the current number is 36 people, the team leader is a gentle and elegant university professor, and the team gathering place is under an ancient tree by the river.

Xiang Qingwu was pondering the meaning of "university professor" when an excited voice suddenly pierced next to him.

"Liu Sha, you're back, we're all dying!" A chubby girl with a high ponytail, about sixteen or seventeen years old, ran over.

Liu Sha said happily, "Wang Yu, your throat is good?" ”

Wang Yu nodded, patted his chest and said fearfully, "It's good to wake up this morning, I couldn't speak for a day yesterday, it scared me to death, I thought I was going to be a little mute." ”

Liu Sha was also happy for her, but she couldn't help but count down and said, "Let's see if you dare to eat things on the island in the future!" By the way, this is Sister Qingwu, I met in the forest. Liu Sha turned around and pointed at Xiang Qingwu and said.

As soon as Wang Yu saw Xiang Qingwu, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, what a beautiful sister." After the words fell, he looked at the wound on Xiang Qingwu's face and said, "Why are you injured?" Even a small wound on this island is difficult to heal, and if it leaves a scar, it will be miserable. ”

Xiang Qingwu said indifferently, "It's okay, it's just a small injury." But he sneered in his heart, didn't Xiang Wantong like this face the most? I don't know what she will think when she sees these scars.

"Sister Qingwu is so good-looking, what a pity to leave a scar." Wang Yu frowned and said, noticing Xiang Qingwu's dress and the bow and arrow in her hand, she boasted and admired again, like Liu Sha, she also mistook Xiang Qingwu for an actor, and kept muttering about how she didn't notice such a good-looking actor in the first place.

Although Xiang Qingwu would not deliberately conceal her identity, since it was someone else who misunderstood it first, she naturally did not need to explain more.

The three of them walked for a while and arrived at the gathering point of Liu Sha's team, and the captain Zhuo Jinghua learned that Liu Sha had brought a newcomer back, and immediately greeted him from the grass hut.

Liu Sha happily trotted forward and shouted, "Captain, I'm back!" ”

Zhuo Jinghua is about in his early forties, with a big belly and a little baldness, his eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled, and he looked very honest and easy-going.

"It's good to come back, if you don't come back, I'm going to organize someone to find you." Zhuo Jinghua looked at Liu Sha like his own child and said with a smile.

"Liu Sha, I heard that you brought a newcomer back?" The man who followed Zhuo Jinghua asked knowingly with a smile while peeking at Xiang Qingwu.

Wang Yu glanced at him, teased him, and said, "Shao Ji, don't pretend, you see that your eyes are about to grow hooks, how about it, Sister Qingwu looks good, right?" ”

The man named Shao Ji scratched his thick hair and smiled embarrassedly at Xiang Qingwu.

Seeing Shao Ji's embarrassed appearance, the others also started to laugh and laugh, and the joy here seemed to be in stark contrast to the depression and sluggishness of the other gathering places next to him, causing others to look over here.

Zhuo Jinghua glanced around vigilantly, put away the smile on his face, and said to Xiang Qingwu, "If you have anything to say, let's go into the house and say." ”

The furnishings in the hut were clear at a glance, except for a fire pit dug in the open space in the middle, the rest of the places were covered with dead grass and leaves, and there were some items scattered on it, some things Xiang Qingwu knew, but more of them were what she had seen. Seeing that everyone had entered the house, the three people lying on the withered grass in the innermost part all sat up, and one of them also held a glowing box in his hand, and the light reflected her red and swollen eyes, which looked very miserable.

Before the other two people, Xiang Qingwu, could see clearly, they heard Zhuo Jinghua command, "Shao Ji, Wang Yu, you two go outside and guard." ”

Shao Ji glanced at Xiang Qingwu with some reluctance, was teased by Wang Yu, and immediately fled with a red face.

A man with a long face and an eagle-nosed hand it to Xiang Qingwu with a bamboo tube, grinned and said, "Beauty, let's drink some water first." After that, his eyes inadvertently fell on the bow and arrow in Xiang Qingwu's hand, and his face suddenly changed.

Xiang Qingwu's slender phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his eyes were pressed, and his voice was clear but cold, "What, you want it too?" ”

Liu Sha on the side was shocked when she heard this, lest Xiang Qingwu be angry, so she hurriedly played the round, "Sister Qingwu, you must be thirsty, sit down and drink some water first." After that, he shouted at the long-faced man again, "By the way, Brother Nengwen, can you please help me bring a glass of water?" I'm dying of thirst! ”

Zhang Nengwen reacted, his face suddenly turned red, as if he had been caught stealing something, he didn't dare to look at Xiang Qingwu anymore, and turned around and left.

The corners of Xiang Qingwu's mouth were raised, as if everything had nothing to do with her, and she glanced at the green blades of grass floating in the water, and she looked at Zhuo Jinghua inquiringly.

Zhuo Jinghua saw everything in Fang Cai's eyes, although he didn't like Xiang Qingwu's yin and yang weirdness, but Zhang Nengwen's coveting other people's bows and arrows was indeed wrong. What's more, Xiang Qingwu is good-looking, and men are always very tolerant of beautiful women, so Zhuo Jinghua explained with a smile, "This is pepper grass, which is used to kill viruses." We don't dare to drink the water on the island, for fear of white caterpillars, so we can only drink it with boiled and filtered seawater with pepper grass, which you may not be used to when you first come. ”

"Thank you." Xiang Qingwu nodded, a slight smile appeared in his cold eyes, and after that, he drank the rest of the water in one gulp.

Hearing Xiang Qingwu say "thank you", Zhuo Jinghua and Liu Sha glanced at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, they still knew that if she was an arrogant and domineering eldest lady, even if she was capable, their team might not be able to keep her.

Zhuo Jinghua looked at Lin Zhao and asked with a smile, "My name is Zhuo Jinghua, I don't know what to call a beauty?" ”

Although Xiang Qingwu has an indifferent temperament, she is not unsophisticated, since Zhuo Jinghua intends to make friends, she has no intention of refusing people, she immediately lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, and responded gently, "Surname, Xiang Qingwu." ”

"Xiang Qingwu, Qingwu ......" Zhuo Jinghua pondered for a long time, raised his head and muttered, "It's 'I want to go down the long bridge and leak deep at night, and the lampstand is floating in the shade.'" 'This Qingwu? ”

Xiang Qingwu thought he was a rough man, although he was literate, but he didn't know anything about poetry and songs, so he replied very frankly, "The name was chosen by my father-in-law, and I don't know what it means." ”

The middle-aged woman sitting next to Xiang Qingwu laughed loudly, "Ouch, I said Professor Zhuo, when is this, don't chew words anymore." ”
