At seven o'clock in the morning, the ship docked, but it was still delayed on the sea for half an hour, and Xu Tian didn't know the specific reason, just like the train stopped suddenly while walking, although the conductor would explain it on the radio, but who knows what the truth is? Passengers also have no intention of exploring these trivialities.

This island is still very large, and after landing on the shore, Xu Tian immediately took out his mobile phone to check, and the signal was very sufficient.

"It's not a secluded place, but the architecture here is a little inferior compared to the big cities across the sea." Teacher Jin looked at the private house in the distance and said.

"Donghai Town, there are a total of five villages, we are the southernmost Lijia Village, and it is also one of the five business docks, although it is called Donghai Town on the Internet, the five villages under its jurisdiction seem to be developing their economies independently." Xu Tian said.

"I've heard about this island, five villages don't travel to each other, now there is no population here, most of them have moved inland, the state gave them a housewarming policy, but not everyone agrees to relocate, and now about a fifth of the population is still stranded on the island, so now the island's economy has stagnated." Teacher Jin said.

"I see, but where do we go from here? The two of us got off the ship here, and there was no information about the next step. Xu Tian said.

"Then let's move on! I'm sure you'll find out. Teacher Jin said.

Now there is no other way, but to follow what Mr. Jin said, the two of them walked along the path of the pier to the village.

The trail is about 300 meters long and narrow, followed by about 200 meters of dirt road, which you can walk through to enter the village.

The head of the village is a big slope, and the terrain on this island is still very high, which can't help but remind Xu Tian of the village in his hometown, the only difference is that there is a sea here, and the other sections of the road are very similar to the mountain roads in his hometown.

The slope is almost one hundred and fifty meters, and after going up, Xu Tian turned his head to look behind him, and sure enough, he was a little dizzy, Xu Tian, a person who has no fear of heights, feels that this slope is a little steep.

There is a row of old-fashioned buildings on the slope, and behind these buildings there are a few scattered small houses, similar to the average village, and there is not even a two-story building in the whole village.

However, there is still a commissary at the entrance of the village, and every village seems to have such iconic houses, but it can be seen that there are no people ashore here, and it is already a quarter past seven in the morning, and the commissary has not yet opened.

"Keep going? There doesn't seem to be much to see, but the terrain here is really okay, no wonder Commander Fang would choose such an island as a foothold. Xu Tian sighed.

"The terrain is very high, and it is not far from the inland, if there is a typhoon or tsunami or something, you can escape quickly, I have also seen the map before, the northernmost part of the island is very close to the inland, only about 700 meters away, and people with better water can swim over." Teacher Jin said.

"But which of the five villages here is the one we are going to make an appointment with? It doesn't matter if there is no reception, there should always be a text message! Xu Tian said.

"Don't complain, this village still looks relatively large, you look at this path, you can't see the end at a glance." Teacher Jin said.

Indeed, as Mr. Jin said, the end of this village road looks like an abandoned factory, and the factory looks much taller than ordinary houses.

"What kind of factory is that?" Xu Tian asked curiously.

"It's a dog meat chief."

The voice that spoke was not Mr. Jin, but a middle-aged man with a strong voice.

Neither Xu Tian nor Teacher Jin noticed that there was actually a person sitting on the side of the road just now, and there was a brand-new courtyard wall made of bricks on the side of the road, and the middle-aged man was sitting under the courtyard wall.

"How could a dog meat chief be built in a place like this? It looks like this island is a fishing area, right? Teacher Jin asked.

"You're here for the first time, right? Our dog meat factory here is a century-old brand, the factory not only kills dogs, but also does deep processing, most of the cooked food and other by-processed products you used to eat in the city are produced by that factory, this industry is also the characteristic of our village. The man said in a deep voice.

"Is it abandoned now?" Xu Tian said.

"It's been four years since it was discontinued, and it had to be discontinued because it lost the source of the dogs, so it had to be discontinued." The man said.

"It's a novelty, and now the outback is eating so well! Especially in the southern cities, you say lost the source of dogs? This is even more implausible, are dog dealers forbidden to land on this island? Teacher Jin asked.

"In the past, it was true that the source of dogs was provided by inland dog dealers, but we don't accept small domestic dogs, and we originally had a very smooth industrial chain, but in the summer of four years ago, everything changed." The man said with a calm face.

Barking! Barking! Woohoo!

As he was talking, a giant dog suddenly sprang out from the courtyard wall of the man's house and pounced on Xu Tian and Teacher Jin.

"Ah!!h The middle-aged man stood up and shouted at the giant dog, his deep voice was like a huge thunder, and Xu Tian felt that his eardrum was almost broken.

Hearing the shouts of the middle-aged man, the giant dog walked into the courtyard gate in a gray manner.

"That's not a purebred Tibetan mastiff, it's a rotten street dog breed now." Teacher Jin said.

"It's my own breed, the crystallization of Tibetan mastiffs and wolf dogs, if you want to enter the village, you have to be careful, every family in the village has dogs, and they are all free-range." The middle-aged man said.

"Isn't there a dog breed here? Is it okay to breed a giant dog with such a large fierceness? Xu Tian asked.

"There are very few people who dare to go ashore, and the people who went ashore before you were the real estate developers who persuaded us to move two months ago, and you can know what happened to them by looking at the news, but fortunately you are not real estate developers, but I also want to know what you do, otherwise the people in the village will not let you go." The middle-aged man said.

"We ......"

"I'm a biology lecturer at the university, and this is my student." Teacher Jin took out a badge and gestured it in front of the middle-aged man, and quickly took it back, and even Xu Tian didn't see what was written on the badge that Teacher Jin took out.

"You're here to study dog breeds, right? It's not the first time anyone has done something like this, people like you are still very popular in the village, you know a little bit of veterinary knowledge, right? There are many people in the village whose dogs are sick, can you help me take a look? The middle-aged man's tone suddenly became very humble.

"No problem, I can still treat some simple diseases." Teacher Jin said confidently.
