"At that time, I was sick, very serious, very sick, Uncle Ah said that there was a goddess on the island over there who could cure the disease, he said that it was better to send me over, maybe it could be cured, Uncle Ah carried me on his back, rocked the boat to the island, begged the people on the island, let Ah Yao Po treat me, Ah Yao Po really accepted me, and she cured me of the disease, so, ah, I have known since I was a child, Ah Yao Po has the ability."

Xiaoyu is proud, she is the child who has been cured by Ah Yaopo.

"On the island? What is the island? Does your family live on the island as well? Minghui asked.

"My family doesn't live on the island, my family lives on a boat, Uncle A, as well as Uncle Haizi, Uncle Dachuan, and Aunt Hongxia, they all live on the boat, and the officials in the yamen don't let us go ashore to live, so we have been on the boat for generations, and the boat is our home."

Xiao Yu explained very seriously, although Xiao Hei told her that she couldn't tell others about living on the boat, and said that others would look down on them if they knew that they lived on the boat, and the government would come to arrest people, but Xiao Yu felt that Sister Ming was a good person, and she couldn't lie to Sister Ming.

But she still asked cautiously: "Sister, you won't go to report to the official, right?" ”

Minghui felt a little sour in her heart, but she still smiled and said, "No, no, and the yamen here won't care about your Mindong affairs." ”

"Really! Great, hey, sister, you know that my home is in Mindong, you are so amazing! "Xiaoyu is very happy, Sister Ming is a good person, just like Granny Hua, she is a very good person.

"Xiaoyu, Ah Yaopo lives on the island, is there anyone else on that island? Can you, I mean, the people on your ship also go to the island? ”

About the water people in the eastern Mindong area, Minghui also knew it from Nanping's mouth.

They are known as the Tanka family, who live on the boat as their home, and live on the boat for many months as adults.

Xiao Yu was already talking about the island: "There are people on the island, there are many people, and every morning there will be a big boat carrying people to the island, and in the evening they will carry these people off the island, but Ah Yaopo does not leave, she lives on the island."

We can't go to the island, but I can, all the stewards on the island know me, I've been on the island since I was a child, they all know me, Uncle They caught fish, I sent them to the island, and the people on the island exchanged rice noodles and green vegetables, by the way, the green vegetables are also planted by Ah Yaopo, Ah Yaopo has the ability, she can do anything.

That's right, the coral that Xiao Hei and I picked that time was also sold to the people on the island, and it was sold for a lot of money, and Xiao Hei bought a new boat, which is a beautiful and sturdy new boat. ”

Minghui remembered what Feng Youcao had said at the beginning, every morning, there would be a big ship that would take slaves to work on another island, and then bring them back in the evening.

The island in Xiaoyu's mouth is that there are big boats carrying people on the island in the morning, and then pulling these people away at night.

The island where Ah Yaopo is located is thought to be the island where the slaves work in Feng Youcao's mouth.

"Tell me about Xiao Hei, is he also your Tan family?" Minghui remembered the brand that Xiao Hei had worn since she was a child.

The pattern on the brand is a bird, Ming Hui has never seen it, but Huo Yu knows that it is Haidongqing, a bird of prey only in Liaodong.

Don't say that there is no Mindong in the East China Sea, and there is no Qingchi that Xiaohei said blindly.

A kid from Mindong, but the sign he carries is engraved with Liaodong's birds of prey, which is very strange.

Uncle A said that the people on the island wanted to throw Xiao Hei into the sea, saying that he was too thin and small to live, so he threw it in the sea, and when Uncle A fished him up, he was seen by Uncle Yao, who gave Uncle A some herbs, and Uncle Ah boiled fish soup with herbs for Xiao Hei to drink every day, and Xiao Hei became stronger and stronger, and really survived.

But when Xiao Hei grew up, the people on the island said that Xiao Hei was originally their slave, and let Xiao Hei go back to the island to work, but our Tan family is not easy to mess with, we have hundreds of boats together, and don't let them take Xiao Hei away, the bearded steward on the island said, it's just a hairy child, keep it on the boat, remember to send more fish and shrimp in the future, and send it over when you get good things, haha, Xiao Hei is still our Xiao Hei, and he didn't go to the island again.

However, our Tan family also counts, we have good things, often give them away, fish and shrimp too, we only use fish and shrimp to exchange rice and green vegetables with them, and do not charge money. ”

Minghui nodded straight and gave a thumbs up: "You protected Xiao Hei, you are good." ”

"Yes, that's what Ah Yaopo said." The little fish shook its little head happily.

"Do you and Hei often go to the island to play? The people on the island told you to go up? Minghui asked again.

"Mmmm, they only let me and Xiao Hei go to the island, others don't let me, why don't my sister know? Because they think that Xiao Hei is their person, and I, I lived on the island when I was a child, and they all know me, call me little girl, call me little black little cub. Xiao Yu is even more proud, she and Xiao Hei are the only Tan family members who can go to the island casually.

Minghui was even more excited, and she hurriedly asked, "Do you like Ah Yaopo very much?" Can you tell us what a medicine woman is like? ”

"Ah Yao Po is the best grandma in the world, if my grandma is still alive, she must be like Ah Yaopo. Ah Yaopo is a fairy, she can cure diseases, and she will also make good food. Xiao Yu remembered the delicious food made by Ah Yaopo again, and swallowed his saliva.

"Is there only one person? Is her husband and children also on the island? Minghui asked.

"No, no, Ah Yao Po said that she had a son, but she lost it, and Ah Yao Po said that her son was smart and smart

There is only one person in Ah Yaopo, and that magnolia flower is Ah Yaopo's treasure

There are many scars on Ah Yao's face, and the people on the island say that they were cut by Ah Yao Po herself with shells

Although Ah Yao Po is also a slave on the island, even the bearded steward says that Ah Yao Po is good

So, none of them bullied Ah Yaopo, besides, Ah Yaopo can cure diseases and make good food, and they are not stupid, of course they won't bully Ah Yaopo.

Ah Yaopo secretly gave the magnolia flower to me and Xiao Hei, let us go to her Abba, tell Abba, she is still alive, and ask Abba, her son has found it.

But Ah Yao Po told us not to look for her, the island is at sea, and Abba can't take her back when he finds her.

Sister, what's wrong with you, why are you crying, sister, did Xiaoyu say the wrong thing?

Sister, don't cry, sister! ”

Minghui only realized at this time that she had burst into tears.

She stretched out her arms and hugged the overwhelmed fish tightly, like hugging someone she had never met.
