Chapter 136: Island in the River
Xiao Ming's parents have a straightforward personality.
If you admit Xiao Qi, you will treat her as your own family.
Coupled with Xiao Qi's mouthful and a grandparent, the two old people were coaxed into smiling.
As soon as he went out, he said that he was his own granddaughter.
After Xiao Qi came down from Heavenly Court, he has been staying in Cangnan and has never been to such a town.
Xiao Ming took advantage of this time to take her out, just in time to take a stroll.
The orange trees that Xiao Qi likes very much, although it is not autumn yet, and the fruit trees have not yet borne fruit, but the green fruit trees still look very gratifying.
Occasionally, you can also encounter some out-of-season fruits, which will ripen at this time.
Xiao Ming took Xiao Qi around in a circle.
Xiao Qi had never been to such a place before, and he was very curious about everything, watching left and right.
When she encountered something she didn't understand, she asked Xiao Ming, and Xiao Ming patiently helped her explain.
I met a lot of people along the way, and I was surprised to see Xiao Qi, and Xiao Ming introduced that it was his daughter.
Several people looked at Xiao Qi in surprise, with some doubts in their hearts, but they were quickly persuaded by Xiao Qi's cute appearance, and they took out the fruits and vegetables they picked and gave them to her.
"What a lovely child, what about the child's mother?"
Xiao Ming said casually: "There is something to do for the time being, so I didn't come over." ”
Several people did not doubt it, nodded, and looked at Xiao Qi with pity.
"Xiao Qi, I must come to my aunt's house to play when I have time in the future. ”
Xiao Qi nodded, and said in a milky voice: "Thank you, Auntie." ”
After sending a few people away, Xiao Ming took her and walked outside.
After meeting several waves of people, both hands were already full of gifts from them, some of them were grown in their own fields, and some were fruits plucked from fruit trees.
Xiao Ming looked around, saw that no one was paying attention, quickly put it into the Qiankun bag, and walked towards the river with Xiao Qi.
There is a river in the town.
The river is small but wide, with a narrow island in the center that divides the river into two halves.
There is also a magical story about this small island.
In the past, due to the overexploitation of minerals, the surrounding trees have been described as withered, and there is almost no green shade.
But on the slender island in the middle of the river, tall trees covered the sky.
When Xiao Ming was a child, he had heard the older generation of people in the town say that when it was first developed, it had already mined iron ore on the small island in the middle of the river.
At that time, due to production requirements, all the iron tools that could be found in the town had been melted down and used to complete the target.
If you can find a little iron ore, you can't wait to dig it all up.
However, just as they decided to exploit the island, there were many strange things.
First of all, the machines used for mining were damaged continuously, and two of them were damaged in three days, and then the mining workers were in a situation one after another, vomiting and diarrhea, dizziness and swelling, and they could not get off the ground at all, and of course they could not carry out mining work.
This went on for nearly three months, and every time the idea of mining was proposed, it began to appear.
Some old people said that there were gods living on this small island, and to break the ground was to offend the gods, so they finally gave up and did not dare to mine the things on the island.
After so much time, this story is rarely told.
But every time Xiao Ming saw the only island in the middle of the river, he still felt very curious.
What's inside?
Several times he had been on the island, but he had found nothing.
I haven't had a similar situation of vomiting and diarrhea, and I heard that this place was bought a few days ago and was ready to mine minerals.
In the past few days, I have moved all the things up, but I haven't heard of any incident, and everyone is relieved, always thinking that it is just a rumor left by the older generation.
Xiao Ming spent a lot of his childhood here, and after hearing about it, he took Xiao Qi over to take a look.
A corner of the trees on the island had been cut down to make room for mining equipment.
Although it has not yet been laid, it can be seen that it is progressing very well.
Even a small bridge has been erected over the river that leads directly to the small island.
Xiao Qi looked at the island in front of him with a serious expression.
"Is this the island that Baba is talking about?"
Xiao Ming nodded.
"That's right. Xiao Qi, do you want to go up and have a look?"
Xiao Qi tilted his head and said suspiciously: "This island is so strange. ”
Xiao Ming thought she was talking about the trees on the island, and said, "It's really a little strange. ”
The surrounding trees are all hairy, but the trees on this small island are exceptionally luxuriant.
According to the previous situation in Longjia Resort, is there also aura here?
Following the small wooden bridge built by the others, Xiao Ming walked inside with Xiao Qi in his arms.
Cross the small improvised wooden bridge and head inside.
A small wooden hut was built next to the machinery and equipment, which was guarded to prevent theft.
Xiao Ming took Xiao Qi over, it should be the time to start work, and he looked around, but no one saw him.
The machines all stopped on the road, seemingly leaving abruptly in a hurry.
Xiao Ming didn't feel a little doubtful in his heart, and walked towards the cabin.
I saw a few people lying inside, frowning, full of pain, and pale.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Ming walked in and asked puzzled.
Several people opened their eyes and looked up at him, their eyes glazed over.
"We don't know what's going on, we've been feeling uncomfortable since yesterday." ”
"I mean, can't it be the fulfillment of the myth they said before? The machines outside are broken, and God knows what's going on?"
"It was fine a few days ago, but today it's all like this, and I won't come here to work again. ”
After a few words were spoken, they lost their strength and lay back on the bed, moaning quietly.
When Xiao Ming heard this, he was even more shocked.
That's why he'd heard the people in the town talk about it before, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he didn't expect it to happen!
If it was before, if he really saw this scene, he might still have doubts, but now that he has experienced so many things, Xiao Ming has more or less believed in it.
Even if there is no god they say, there must be something that is influencing all this.
Xiao Ming thought for a while and said, "I'll go out for a while, maybe I can find the reason, and then help you call a doctor." ”
A few people persuaded him: "You better hurry up and rest, don't stay on this island all the time." ”
Xiao Ming said: "It's okay, I used to come here often." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Qi and walked outside.
Looking at the dense woods, what exactly is hidden on this island?
He's going to have to find it.
