Shen Run wanted to ask in more detail, but after hesitating, he didn't speak.

Yan Yingjing left.

Shen Run looked at his back and suddenly felt that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction.

……

It took Si Chen three days to finally figure out the loom, not that she couldn't understand the illustrated picture, but that she couldn't actually operate it.

The loom made her feel irritable, and the results were not outstanding, but the lady in charge of the weaving mill did not blame her. This Shikazhang Island seems to be about equality for everyone, because of equality, so doing more and doing less is all based on consciousness, even if it is not enough, others will not blame, and treat it warmly as usual, probably in this way to make people feel ashamed, but will work harder.

Si Chen didn't feel ashamed, she began to feel that Luzhang Island was strange, the people on the island were smiling, smiling gently, but that smile didn't seem real, it always gave people an illusory feeling.

The people on Shikaaki Island get up at midnight to go up the mountain and have a morning lesson, after which the men go out to fish, and the women are divided into two parts, one weaving and dressing to take care of the children, and the other to feed the livestock. When it comes to farming, a part of the men and women will be assigned to be in charge of farming, and every day at sunset, at the end of the day's work, they will go up to the mountains to study for an hour of evening classes.

On the third day of Si Chen's arrival, another group of newcomers came to the island, and this time all the people who came were young people, about ten, some men and women, not very old, and teenagers.

When Si Chen returned to his residence from the weaving workshop, those people were preparing to move in, among them were two girls who lived in Si Chen's wooden building, and one of them attracted Si Chen's attention, a cloth coat still couldn't hide the wind and dust, sixteen or seventeen years old.

"The girl also brought a child, a girl, both two years old." Chen Sanniang whispered to Si Chen.

Chen Sanniang loves to talk to Si Chen very much, Chen Sanniang is not a person who can talk, others are naturally not interested in what she says, but Chen Sanniang is willing to say, only Si Chen will not interrupt she will listen well, Si Chen thinks that she doesn't have to answer, when Chen Sanniang's words are the wind in her ears, sometimes Chen Sanniang will inadvertently say something useful, because Chen Sanniang loves to inquire.

Among the other women, there were also those who went to the island on the same day as Si Chen, and they had been completely infected with the enthusiasm and kindness of Luzhangdao, and they surrounded the new girl and actively asked her name.

A girl replied very shyly, but the dusty girl ignored the answer, and sat in the corner with a cold face,

The atmosphere on Kaaki Island is such that even if a sharp cold nail is hit, the people on the island will not be angry because of it. A tolerant heart and a broad mind for his companions are advocated by Luzhang Island, and even if they are coldly treated, the people on Luzhang Island still smile gently.

Si Chen felt that this group of people was weird.

Although the bed where Si Chen slept was not by the window, it was close to the window.

At night, a stone gently knocked on the window and rolled down with a soft sound.

Si Chen opened her eyes, surrounded by the sound of sleeping breathing, she sat up from the bed, quietly left the wooden building, and walked towards the back mountain.

Shen Run was waiting for her in the woods, and the two glanced at each other and disappeared to the side of the road. After a while, the sound of footsteps came, and he trotted all the way, stopping where Si Chen had stood before, looking around for a while, and walking deeper.

Shen Run looked at the plain skirt corners that floated away, and asked softly:

"Who is she?"

"New here today. There are ten new people today, all of whom are seventeen or eighteen years old, and she is one of them. ”

"It's only been a few days since another boat, how many poor people in Cangqiu Country have no fixed residence, and the poor have come to Luzhang Island?"

"Don't you think it's strange why all the poor should be gathered on one island? Accumulating virtue and doing good deeds can donate money and materials, it doesn't have to be like this. ”

"It's really weird."

"Where's Yan Ying?" Si Chen asked suddenly.

"It's gone in the afternoon."

"Off the island?"

"Probably not, he said that in a few days there will be people from the Witch Doctor Hall on Luzhang Island, and he came to wait for this."

"He's that person, even a seemingly meaningless word has another purpose, and he can't be trusted."

Shen Run glanced at her, he didn't know what kind of emotion she said this, he didn't answer her words, but said, "I just went to the nursery hall and saw the child you brought. ”

Only then did Si Chen remember the tiger head who was in the nursery hall: "How is it in the nursery hall?" ”

"The woman who takes care of the children in the nursery is not chosen casually, don't you say that what is advocated here is the 'equality of all beings', it is not the case at all, just say that the person who assigns the management is appointed by Lizheng. Although the Li Zheng here is not called Li Zheng, and the direct name sounds kind, but it is simply self-deception, what does that person do and what Li Zheng in the village does, there are still people who are happy that there is no Li Zheng to control here, and they are more comfortable than when they were in their hometown.

By the way, the mother of any child is not allowed to enter the nursery hall, you said that the mother of the child who came with you wants to work hard and finally enter the nursery to take care of her son, it is simply impossible, the people on Luzhang Island seem to be unwilling to let the mother on the island get too close to their children. ”

Si Chen groaned and did not speak.

"This Luzhang Island, from the appearance, there is no problem, but the deeper you go into it, the clearer you know, the more you feel that there is something strange in it."

"Is Tiger Head alright?"

"I thought you didn't care."

"I'm just asking."

"The nursery is very well nourished, and it seems that I have gained weight."

"Really?"

Shen Run glanced at her and asked the question he had always wanted to know: "Where did you buy that child?" ”

"In the hands of parents."

"Biological parents?" Shen Run was slightly surprised.

"It's not uncommon for children who are poor and can't feed too many to sell their children."

Shen Run fell silent.

He wouldn't think that there would be no poor people in Cangqiu Country, but a country with a rich foundation like Cangqiu Country had such poor people, not to mention that the land of Fengying Kingdom had just experienced war.

"I have already ordered someone to secretly investigate the Witch Doctor Hall in the territory of the Feng Underworld, I have never paid attention to it before, but after this investigation, I feel that the Witch Doctor Hall is everywhere like a snail after the rain."

Si Chen nodded, and in response to what he said, he sent someone to secretly investigate the matter of the Witch Doctor Hall.

……

From the next day onwards, every time she did work, Si Chen felt that the new girl named "Pink Butterfly" who had been following her before was always staring at her with a murderous face. Si Chen could be sure that she didn't know her at all before this.

On the fifth day after Si Chen went to the island, finally, the newcomers were allowed to go up the mountain to attend the morning class.

What was a little surprising was that the young people who came to the island after Fan Die's group came to the island, and it stands to reason that they should have done five days of work before going up the mountain, but these people actually followed Si Chen and the others up the mountain to participate in the morning class.
