Chapter 71: Picking up the pace
The news was like a bolt from the blue for the mother.
Even if there is indeed a car at the station, but without a key and a driver, the bus is really not something that ordinary people can drive.
In addition, before coming to this beach, it is still an unusually rugged and deserted road, which is a very strict test of driving skills.
Other than that.
The route is also very important.
Judging by the rules of the note left by the son of the middle-aged couple, perhaps he himself tried to leave the beach, but did not find the real way.
The last rule that left the note behind.
Xie Chen guessed that someone might have paid the price of his life in this matter to be seen.
My father didn't give up, and he still had hope in this matter.
"Then the lifeguards might have other means of transportation."
"He can't stay on the beach all the time, and he might have to take a ride back on his own holidays."
The meaning is obvious.
As long as the lifeguard has a means of transportation, there is still a possibility of leaving in this matter.
The flat table nodded without refuting.
"I don't know about this, after all, there is no indication on the official website, but according to common sense, it should be talented."
Wood shook the bucket in his hand and suggested.
"It's come to this point, we don't have any good way for the time being, let's eat first, otherwise we will be blind to these good fish in my bucket."
In fact, the current result is indeed the case, and everyone can only wait for Thor who drove the yacht to the sea to come back.
The old woman also walked over slowly and helped up the middle-aged woman who was sitting on the ground.
She herself has come over most of her life, and she can more or less understand what the pain of losing a child means to a mother.
In the final analysis, while I understand, I am more distressed and lamentable.
It's just that this kind of sympathy doesn't bring much comfort to women, at most it only soothes the regrets in their hearts.
These behaviors were naturally all seen by Xie Chen.
Except for the initial suspicion solved, there is probably nothing strange about everyone present now.
For myself, this is undoubtedly good news.
Then there are only a few suspicious points pointed at now.
The couple came to the beach to find their old friend, so who is their old friend? What kind of identity does it play on this beach?
This is one of them.
What did Thor do when he sailed on a yacht? Did the danger he spoke of come from a fishing village or from the sea?
Or both.
This is the second one.
The third question is, in what way does the danger manifest itself?
From the beginning of the copy to the present, I have not experienced the emergence of the crisis, and the upgraded and strengthened pocket watch has not even been used once.
This sense of helplessness has also made me not have a suitable goal until now.
Before Wood met, the men tentatively agreed, and immediately patted the flat table on the shoulder.
"You go over and call those two guys first."
"I can't go to the fishing village now, and I don't have pots and bowls in my luggage, so you go and ask the two of them if they have brought them."
The flat table nodded slightly.
Father pointed to the house on the beach.
"Don't worry, pots and bowls, these things, there are all these things on the beach, I just went in to find Thor because of something, and I saw it."
"But it should be rented."
Wood laughed heartily.
"Then that's fine."
After seeing the flat table stop, he immediately waved his hand.
"Even if there are pots and pans, you can go over and call them both."
"It's been a few hours and I haven't seen anything, so it's better to come over and eat my ready-made."
The flat table pointed to Wood's face, and also held back a smile: "You kid laughs at other people's air force, you are really damaged." ”
"If the temper comes up at that time, I won't carry the black pot with you."
Wood clutched his stomach and laughed.
"It's enough of a cow, and a few small fish in that bucket are not considered the Air Force."
Wood saw that the flat table shook his head and called out to the remaining two, and he also carried the fish bucket and walked to the faucet on the other side of the house.
I guess I'm going to kill the fish.
Xie Chen watched his father say a few words to his mother, and then wanted to follow, but he immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Dad, there's something I want to ask you about here."
There was some confusion in my father's eyes.
"What's the matter?"
Xie Chen looked at the people not far away, as well as his mother and sister, and then took his father's hand.
"It's inconvenient to say, my mother will hear it later."
Originally, my father was still a little confused, but after hearing what he said, he also took his hand and walked aside.
After the footsteps stopped, my father also immediately asked.
"Did you find anything else?"
Xie Chen shook his head and opened his heart directly.
"I just want to ask, where did the fishermen from those two fishing villages come from?"
"What's so strange about the outfit?"
Listening to his question, my father rubbed his chin with his hand as if he was seriously reminiscing.
"How can I say it......"
"I don't know where I came from, but I remember where I got there."
"After sending me an invitation, he went straight over there."
Father stretched out his hand and pointed to the left side of the beach.
What catches your eye is a sparse forest.
Although it is sparse, the covering effect is still very good, and it is not clear what exactly is on the other side of the woods.
But according to these people's words, there is no doubt that it should be a fishing village.
Xie Chen did not interrupt his father, but listened carefully word by word.
After talking about the whereabouts of the two fishermen, my father also followed up to answer the second question.
"As for what they're wearing, they do look a little different from us normal people."
"But it's not that big of a difference."
"Except for the clothes that are a little messy and the style is a little old, there is basically no big difference."
Xie Chen nodded slightly.
If they claim to be fishermen, their clothes are old and dirty, it won't raise much suspicion.
After all, they are all fishing by the sea all year round, and it is relatively far away from the market, so this situation is normal.
But now, with the rules and Saul's finger pointing at him, there is something wrong with these things.
Xie Chen asked his father, "Dad, do you think it's possible that they don't know that human clothes should be washed?" ”
When my father heard his suspicions, his eyes became even more solemn.
"Do you suspect they're not human?"
Xie Chen nodded, and then asked again.
"What do you see differently?"
The father listened to his son's inquiry about him, and couldn't help but show a relieved expression.
"You've grown up, but I thought they should be normal people at first."
"But when you think about it, there's something strange about the way they walked when they left, and there's even a slight bouncing smell in it."
"At first, I thought it might be the way I walked, because I was on a fishing boat all year round, and the waves were bumpy."
"Now think about it......"
Xie Chen saw his father staring at him, but he didn't say the following, in fact, he and he both knew what the next words were.
The reason why I didn't say it was because my mother pulled my sister over.
"What are you father and son doing here?"
Mother's crisp voice came, and Xie Chen turned to look.
Xiao Yan stretched out her fleshy little hand and ran this way while calling for her brother.
Xie Chen walked over in three or two steps, stretched out his hands and hugged her in his arms.
Xiao Yan clenched his little hands and spread them out in front of him, and then handed him the crème brûlée in the palm of his hand.
"Brother, do you like it?"
"I secretly hid it for you."
Xie Chen looked happy, took the cream pudding from his sister's hand, and then tiptoed to open the plastic film on it and handed it to his sister again.
Xiao Yan immediately waved his hand.
"No, no, it's not because I can't open the lid, it's really me who left it for you, brother."
"This pudding is delicious, you should try it quickly."
can't resist this little girl's dust, and she can only stuff the pudding into her mouth.
Xiao Yan stared at himself as if his eyes would glow.
"Is it delicious? Is it tasty? ”
Xie Chen nodded very approvingly.
At this time, the father was explaining to the mother what the father and son were talking about when they were entangled just now.
Of course, it's basically all made up.
If you explain clearly at this time, it is easier to worry your mother, and my father knows this very well.
If it's a 100% solvable danger, there's no need to hide it like that.
The more uncertain the problem, the more responsible the man will basically not throw out the danger to his woman.
It's more of a "fine".
When he almost couldn't explain clearly, his father immediately shook his hand and pointed to Wood, who was not far away and started killing fish.
"I'll talk about it later, it's hard to say now anyway, I'll go over and help him first."
Seeing that my father was talking about this, my mother was not very good at what to say, but she still looked sulky.
Xie Chen naturally knew that her mother was so uneasy because she cared about her family, and the best solution was to find the source of the danger as soon as possible.
In this way, such a warm temporary family can be protected, and the smooth customs clearance of the copy can also be guaranteed.
After putting Xiao Yan down, Xie Chen took her hand and came to her mother's side.
"Xiaoyi, you follow your mother first."
Mother frowned and said to herself.
"You take good care of my sister, now that this beach is dangerous, where do you want to run around?"
Xie Chen hurriedly smiled bitterly and waved his hand.
"Why?"
Then he pointed in the direction of Wood and his father.
"I used to learn how to kill fish, and I really didn't run around."
Before his mother could nod in agreement, Xie Chen immediately threw his legs and ran towards that side.
Standing there stupidly, I can basically only stay and take care of my sister.
I'm not stupid.
