Chapter 106: Painful Memories in Black Smoke

Early the next morning, Deng Ke disembarked with the group. As soon as he stepped onto the island, he felt that his breathing immediately became heavy, and his feet were as difficult to move as if they had been filled with lead. He managed to keep going, climbed the steep slope of the upper island, and after climbing over a small hill, a huge mountain of garbage appeared before him.

"This mountain of garbage is disgusting enough!" he thought, the rotting smell of food coming to his mouth again. As soon as he turned around and saw Lai Weng, he found that he was closing his eyes, as if he was disgusted with this garbage mountain, and he didn't even want to look at it again.

"Now I would like to announce one thing to you. Xiao Nan stood in front of the garbage mountain and said majestically, "After yesterday's decision by the six patriarchs and the newly taken over the Leng Mountain clan patriarch. From today onwards, half of the cave army led by me and Lai Weng will be responsible for the collection of food. The other patriarchs and the other half of the grotto army were responsible for patrolling the island, trying to find the way to the fairy island as soon as possible. ”

Then she divided the Grotto Army into two halves, with herself and Lai Weng leading the half, and in addition to Mugulan, Dengke, Tushen, Shiting, and Yasi were all divided into the other half. The six patriarchs each led a team and headed in six directions, and they naturally followed in the team of Qiangxiang.

"This is not normal!" Deng Ke pondered as he walked.

"Huh?" Tsuchibuka didn't hear what he was saying.

"I said it's not normal! It's so abnormal!" said Dengke frowned.

"What's not normal?" said Tu Shen this time.

"Come on, he would choose to inspect the garbage with Xiao Nan? and he hates the garbage so much. Do you think that's normal?"

"Hey, it's not what he said, it must have been arranged by Zi Mu Dan. There's nothing he can't do. ”

"No, it won't. The patriarchs of the six clans were all in charge of patrolling the island. If he had to pick out one of the seven clans to pick up the garbage, he would not be the most suitable person. If he didn't want to, Zi Mu Dan would definitely not be reluctant. Moreover, such a trivial matter of picking up garbage, Xiao Nan and Mu Gulan are enough to deal with, so why bother to add another Laiweng? So I think this must be Laiweng's own request. But why did he do that? It's so strange!" Lamp Ke couldn't figure it out.

"Well, it's a little strange...... "Tushen also frowned and thought, and the two of them were silent, concentrating on their own thoughts. But thinking about it has not led to anything.

"Deng Ke look at the mountain in front of him, which is the mountain where the monument stands. Tushen's gaze was attracted by the distance, and he pulled the lamp to look at it together.

Deng Ke raised his head and saw that the mountains behind him were one after another, stretching endlessly, and the mountains were steaming with black gas, which looked very scary.

"What the hell is this place? Lampke's attention was also turned, and he muttered, looking back at Yass and Sting. They all looked very unhappy, and they were far away from each other without saying a word.

Lamp Ke shook his head. Follow the army over the garbage mountain towards the second mountain. For some reason, his mood suddenly went down. A gust of wind blew, and he remembered his childhood. He remembered that he and his friends had caught a lot of dragonflies, and then they had pulled off their heads, wings, and tails, leaving only the middle section, which they threaded with wire and roasted over the fire. Oh my God! Now that he thinks he is so cruel that he can do such a thing, he is simply guilty of death. He remembered that once he kicked a ball and smashed someone's window without admitting it, and as a result, they wronged other children. Why is it so shameless?? He felt remorseful and cried, and the people around him were just like him, they were digging their hearts and wanting to strangle themselves to death.

"Dengke! Dengke, what's wrong with you, get up, don't cry!" the only normal Tushen kept pulling Dengke, hoping to pull him out of his pain. Deng Ke stared blankly at Tushen and began to cry again.

"What's going on? Why is everyone crying?"

Tushen scratched his head anxiously, at a loss. He wanted to ask the other teams for help, but the other teams also squatted on the hill and cried. In the end, he really had no choice but to run back and report the incident to Xiao Nan. Xiao Nan was also surprised at first, but gradually she found the crux of the problem. He ordered all the food collectors to hold their breath and pull the weeping grottoes back to the moon ship one by one.

After coming back, Deng Ke and the others were slowly relieved. They didn't understand why they felt so remorse and shame about the sins they had committed, and they wanted to knock themselves to their deaths on the mountain. Later, Zi Mu Dan told them that the black smoke from the mountain might invade people's nerves, remind them of the wrong things they had done in the past, and thus fall into remorse and unable to extricate themselves. That's why they're in that situation en masse. Therefore, they speculate that Sin Mountain is a place that can destroy people's spirits, and if they stay for a long time, everyone's emotions will become bad and even out of control. So he ordered everyone to stop patrolling the island, change shifts to collect food, and leave the patrol to their family and the unaffected Tushen, while Dengke remained on the ship.

Listening to Zi Mu Dan say this, everyone understood why they felt uncomfortable since they set foot on this island. But they still can't be happy. It was the same with Lamp Ke, who had become a little melancholy when he came back this time, and spent his days alone in the cabin looking at handkerchiefs painted with symbols. He was tempted to take the handkerchief and ask Jass and Stine if they recognized the little characters. But they hadn't spoken to him for days, and every time they saw them, they looked displeased, as if someone had provoked them.

"Since you all ignore me, why should I provoke you!" Deng Ke thought about turning over, and he wanted to ask Mu Gulan again, but Mu Gulan was even more gloomy, he didn't even go to the garbage mountain, he hid in his room and slept all day, and no one paid attention to him.

"Hey, why are you so depressed! When will Tushen come back? It's been four days, so something must have happened, right? Phew! Tushen Jiren will never be fine. Deng Ke was thinking wildly, and a series of familiar footsteps sounded outside the door.

"It's Laiong. He came back early enough today. Didn't he have to pick up the garbage until late every day? His daily enthusiasm for picking up garbage was simply not in line with his usual arrogant style. What the hell is he doing? No, I have to find out today!" The door was closed, and he couldn't find a crack to peep into, but he vaguely heard a conversation in the room. (To be continued......)
