In the darkness, a pale blue oil lamp lit up on the stone wall.

Hai Man'er, who was standing in the faint blue light, was startled, looked sideways at the woman in red who was pulling him into the cave, and asked in a low voice, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”

The corners of the woman in red's mouth turned up slightly, "Sister Man'er, don't you want to know where that sapphire is?" ”

Haiman'er's eyes lit up, when she returned to the village, on the one hand, to avoid the pursuit of her ex-husband's relatives and friends, and on the other hand, she heard about the village's cultural tourism city plan, as well as the blue gem that the developer gave to the village at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

She never thought that a bead could be worth hundreds of millions of yuan, if she could get this gem, then she would never have to work hard for the rest of her life, she could fly abroad, find a beautiful place, buy a few big villas, and enjoy a beautiful new life.

It's a pity that she has been back to the island for so many years, and she has searched almost everywhere, but she has not found any trace of the gem, so she can only temporarily keep this matter in her heart, planning to find an opportunity to find a way to leave the island first, and then go outside to do a few votes, or rely on hard work to get rich.

Now hearing the woman in red suddenly mention the blue gem, Hai Man'er didn't think about why the woman in red knew that she wanted to find the gem, looked at the dark cave, and said excitedly, "You mean that the gem is in here?" ”

The woman in red touched her chin and said, "I don't know, but no one else is usually allowed in here, and it's a good place to hide...... I thought, if that gem hadn't been taken back by the developer, if it had been hidden somewhere in the village, it would have to be here! ”

Hai Man'er thought of the village's ban here, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the woman in red made sense, but she didn't know how to come here before, and she didn't dare to violate the village's ban, but now that she was in it, and the gem was close at hand, she couldn't help but dry her mouth, "That's right!" I've searched for all the places...... Only here...... Only here I haven't been here yet! ”

A hint of cunning flashed in the eyes of the woman in red, and she smiled obediently, "Sister Man'er, let's hurry up and find it, I have always heard that the stone is very beautiful, as if to see how beautiful it is, and it seems that the stone is still very valuable, if we really let us find it, even if it is half of a person, then it will be sent!" ”

When Hai Man'er heard the woman in red say that she wanted half of the person, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up a cold smile, staring at the back of the woman in red who was walking in front, and said with a faint look, "Hmm...... It must have been posted! ”

The woman in red seemed to have seen the smile on Haiman'er's face, pursed her lips, and did not pierce Haiman'er's thoughts, but just lowered her head and walked forward sullenly.

The two walked silently for a while, and Hai Man'er looked sideways at the oil lamps on the stone walls along the way, and suddenly asked, "These lights are quite interesting, wherever we go, the lights will be on......"

"This is because lamp oil is a certain substance that is easy to spontaneously combust, when no one comes in, the air is not circulated, and the oxygen around these oil lamps is not enough, so it will not ignite, but as long as someone passes by, it will bring some fresh air, and the substance on the wick will come into contact with oxygen, and it will spontaneously combust......" The woman in red explained a few words without being salty, thought about it, and added, "You can understand that this is a device similar to a voice-activated lamp, but here it is not the sound that makes these lights on, but the wind generated by our walking." ”

Hai Man'er sighed as if he didn't understand, and said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to know this, it's amazing......"

The woman in red looked back and smiled, "These are the basics I learned when I was in school before, and they are not a big deal...... Actually, I admire Sister Man'er, no matter how much this woman knows, she has to marry, so it's better to marry well than to know more, and Sister Man'er, you are very experienced in marrying well, when must I ask you for more advice! ”

Hai Man'er sighed softly, "This is okay for us to say here, the saying of independent women is popular outside, if others know that you think so, you will be sprayed to death...... However, to tell the truth, it is indeed better to marry well than to know more, no matter how good you know and how good your work is, when you reach a certain childbearing age, you will be persuaded to retire by the company...... Wait until you have a baby, and then come out to find a job, that is, put a small basket in a big basket, which is even more difficult! Therefore, this woman has to take advantage of the best years of her years to find a good family, don't wait until she is not attractive, before thinking about starting a family or something, the price will be greatly discounted. ”

The woman in red immediately had a look of disgust on her face, but her tone was still gentle, and she retorted, "But I don't think I should treat myself as a commodity like this, become a vassal of others, even if I want to marry well, it should be based on the fact that the husband and wife can support each other......"

"It's wrong for you to think so, this person is born a commodity, your background, your education, etc., are all raising your price, which determines how much you can get paid for your work, how big a house you can live in, and whether you can afford to stay in the hospital if you are sick...... I can tell you, the outside world is not as simple as our village, and ordinary people have been bloodsucking tools of some capital since birth...... To take a simple example, they produce all kinds of pesticides and sell them to ordinary people who grow fruits and vegetables, so that everyone eats unnatural food, and their health gets worse and worse, and finally they have to be admitted to their hospitals, where they are hanged on those expensive drugs until they die in agony in their hospital beds. ”

"Listening to what you say, it's still good in our village, at least the food is reassuring, no messy things are added, they all grow naturally."

"Of course, why would I come back otherwise...... But there are also advantages to the outside, such as a lot of beautiful clothes, a lot of flavorful dishes, and a lot of handsome men......"

"There are too many temptations, and people are easy to make mistakes," the woman in red said lightly, "I still like a pure and natural life, without so many desires, and there will be no sin, just like those trees in the village, living in harmony with the world." ”

"No prospects......" Hai Man'er said disapplausively, looked at the endless darkness ahead, beat his sore thighs a few times, sat on a big stone with his support to the stone wall, and waved his hand, "Let's rest for a while, I really can't walk, I don't know how to do it, I usually don't feel tired after walking a few kilometers, but I can't breathe after walking a few steps in it." ”

The woman in red had no choice but to stop and chuckle, "Maybe the air here is not good...... "I took out a wooden cylindrical kettle from my body, opened the lid, handed it to Hai Man'er, and said with a soft expression, "Sister Man'er, drink some water, quench your thirst, and dilute the harmful substances that you inhale into your body, maybe you will have the strength to move forward......"

"That's right, hot water cures all diseases......" Hai Man'er took the kettle, said with a smile, raised the kettle and took a big sip, suddenly frowned, lowered his head and spit out the water that had just been poured into his mouth, and spit out an extremely young goldfish by the way, and looked at the woman in red in a daze, "What's going on?" ”

The woman in red explained calmly, "In recent years, the water on the island has become colder and colder, and many small fish cannot survive, and people's stomachs need to be warmer, so I often raise a few small goldfish in the water cup, they are really happy, so I will take a sip and change them to a warm ......environment."

When Hai Man'er heard this, he immediately got goosebumps all over his body, and his eyes widened and said, "Are you crazy...... How can you keep fish in your belly? ”

An unnatural smile curled up at the corner of the woman in red's mouth, "People are also part of nature, and they should be responsible for these companions...... And, if it weren't for the destruction of the human race, these companions would have lived well and not faced such a cold existential crisis......"

Hai Man'er swallowed her saliva, stared at the delicate face of the woman in red, only felt a chill in her heart, and swallowed her saliva, "Don't you understand what I mean...... I mean, you can't keep goldfish in your stomach, they just get digested and broken down into stool......"

The woman in red shook her head and smiled, "You don't understand what I mean...... It may be that you have been outside for too long before, and your thinking pattern has changed," suddenly clapped his palms, and said in a cold voice, "Well, I'll let someone perform for you, maybe you can understand the current concept of nature in our village." ”

The moment the applause rang out, a group of red-clothed villagers walked out of the deep cave.

Some of them have fruits in their hands, some of them have two fish in their hands, and some of them are full of branches, which look like a walking green tree.

A villager covered in dirt stepped forward and said with a painful expression, "I am the earth, and humans have multiplied and cut down on it, and now my skin is all rotten, and it is difficult to breathe...... It's so cold, what should I do? ”

A villager with a shovel came up to the villager who was playing the role of the earth and shouted, "Back to nature!" ”

Other red-clothed villagers also chimed in, "Back to nature!" ”

The moment the shout fell, a red-clothed villager with a bowl of viscous liquid in his hand said expressionlessly, "I'm a sinner...... I'm willing to stick myself to the ground, return to the bosom of nature, and atone for my sins, okay? ”

The red-clothed villager with two fish in his hand nodded, "Yes!" Please open your mouth, I will fill your mouth with some small fish, and the moment you return to nature, they will also return to nature with you, end the suffering, and undo the sins you have committed against fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish! ”

Another red-clothed villager holding a fruit then said, "Yes! Please close your eyes, I will pile fruits all over your face, and the moment you return to nature, they will rot and decompose with you, becoming fresh nutrients for the earth, and offsetting the bad things you have done to fruits and vegetables! ”

Finally, the villager with a shovel in his hand took a step forward and said blankly, "Yes! Lie down in the pit and I will plant a small tree on your body, and the moment you return to nature, it will continue to grow and become the skin of the earth again! ”

Hai Man'er watched the performance of these red-clothed villagers, the back of his neck was cold, and he wanted to get up, but he found that his buttocks and legs were tightly attached to the big stone, and he couldn't move at all, and looked at the woman in red in horror and said, "What are you going to do......

The woman in red put her index finger in front of her lips and sighed, picked up the thin wooden stick in the stone bowl full of viscous liquid, dipped it twice, quickly wiped it on Haiman'er's lips, and said in a low voice, "Don't be noisy, people have ears, they should learn to be obedient!" You are different from other sinners, because you are from our village, you can only return to nature to offset the harm you have done to this world! ”

Just after the woman in red said this, the villagers in red all walked to Haiman'er's side, put the things in their hands on the ground in turn, and then silently formed a half-circle with Haiman'er as the center.

The sound of a shovel struck in the cave, accompanied by the melodious song of island tree planting.

Hai Man'er looked at the red-clothed villagers in front of him with numb faces, and suddenly felt terrified, his shoulders kept trembling, and he wanted to say something, but his lips were tightly closed, and he couldn't say anything.

The woman in red took out a wooden grimace mask from behind her waist, squatted down, gently buckled it on Haiman'er's face, and smiled indifferently in her eyes, "It's quite suitable......
