"Dare to be hard-mouthed!" Wang Mengyao scolded sharply, "The wound on your leg is a typical high fall in the wild, and the wound has traces of erosion, which is most common in poachers. ”

Hearing her say this, I breathed a sigh of relief, daring to see that this little girl was thinking of me as a snake catcher. So, I smiled and said, "Researcher Wang, you really exalt me." ”

As soon as I was about to turn around, Wang Mengyao poked me hard, "Don't move, be honest!" ”

Helpless, I had no choice but to carry her and said, "You're right, I'm indeed injured in the wild, but do you think I look like a poacher?" Those poachers, who are not exposed to the wind and sun, and who have as fine skin and tender meat as me. ”

Xu felt that what I said made sense, and Wang Mengyao didn't know how to refute it for a while.

I continued, "If you think about it, if I'm really a poacher, do I have to go to such great lengths to step on it?" Tell me about your place, it's so strict, I think it's hard to act alone, so is it still necessary for me to step on the point? ”

Wang Mengyao was speechless for a while, "Eh, this ......"

Seeing that the strength in her hand was noticeably lighter, I began to try to turn around.

I turned around slowly, but I saw a pair of serious eyes. Wang Mengyao looked at me vigilantly, holding a fruit knife in her hand, "You, you're really not poaching?" ”

I smiled, "I swear, I'm definitely not a poacher. ”

"Then you, your injury is ......"

"Hey, forget it, since it's all said and done, I'll tell you the truth." I sighed and said, "Actually, I'm an antique dealer and I own a small antique shop. You may not know our industry, don't look at us usually stay in the store, but sometimes for Taobao, we also run everywhere, and the wild is naturally inevitable. ”

Listening to my story, Wang Mengyao was also suddenly interested, and asked, "You mean, your injury was suffered when you were in the wild to find treasures?" You, you're not a grave robber, are you? ”

I smiled, "Hey, hey, I don't have such a buttoned hat, I'm a legitimate businessman, and I don't want to do anything illegal or criminal!" ”

Wang Mengyao saw that I was serious and funny, and couldn't help but wonder, "You, you have no evidence, how can I believe you?" ”

Fortunately, I was prepared, and I had a lot of photos in my store in my hand, and when I took it out and looked at it, Wang Mengyao naturally had nothing to say.

At this time, Wang Mengyao said with a little embarrassment: "That, Li Rui, I'm sorry, I, I treat you as a poacher, you, you won't blame me, right?" ”

I shook my head, "Researcher Wang, you are serious, what is this, how can I blame you." Moreover, you are very vigilant, and it is the presence of vigilant people like you on the island that those poachers have no chance to take advantage of it. ”

Wang Mengyao smiled, "Then I can forgive me." ”

"That's right."

"Let's not know each other, in order to express my apologies, but also to express my gratitude, this bottle of potion will be given to you."

"Huh? Isn't that for me? I feigned doubts.

"You want to be beautiful, I will lend it to you, and I will pay it back when the time comes!"

"Hahaha, I see, that's the case, but I misunderstood."

"Hahahaha."

"Researcher Wang, are you now dissipating your suspicion of me?"

Wang Mengyao glanced at me and said with a smile: "You are a researcher Wang, are you tired?" The two of us should be about the same grade, just call me Meng Yao. ”

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

"What's inappropriate, I found that you're actually quite old-fashioned, don't you have a girlfriend yet?" Wang Mengyao suddenly asked.

"Uh-" I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I was speechless.

"Hahaha, it looks like I guessed right!"

I smiled awkwardly and said, "I also found that you are quite different from during the day, and now you have some gossip, but you are compared with that Zhou Ruhong." ”

Wang Mengyao glanced at me, "Hehe, you just say I'm naïve!" ”

"I didn't say that, I actually wanted to say that everyone has a side that is deliberately hidden and not familiar, and only those who are true friends will open up to each other."

Wang Mengyao looked at me, "So, we're friends now?" ”

I nodded, "Of course!" ”

"Okay, so since we're friends, shouldn't you show something to your friends?"

"Mean? What does it mean? I wondered.

"Actually, it's very simple, you tell me your story."

"My story?" I wondered, "My life is boring, I really don't know what to talk about." ”

"Oh, no matter how boring I am, I can be bored on the island." Wang Mengyao said, "Look at me, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, nearly three-quarters of the time on the island, every day is faced with snakes, insects, rats and ants, if it weren't for you tourists, I wouldn't know if I am still a normal human being." ”

Hearing her say this, I suddenly felt a little distressed. Indeed, life on the island is destined to be lonely and hard, they must endure loneliness and trials that are unbearable for ordinary people, separated from their loved ones, separated from the crowd, and accompanied by snakes and rats, that is the endless sea.

Wang Mengyao walked to the window and said sadly: "Actually, I am sometimes quite fragile, looking at this sea, I will fall into fear." I'm afraid of being alone, I'm afraid of being alone in the face of the sea, and accidentally falling into that terrible abyss. ”

I patted her on the shoulder, and at that moment, I just thought she was a weak girl.

"Meng Yao, you are already very strong, if it were me, I might not have your courage."

"I'm a biologist and it's my job, so I choose to stick with it." Wang Mengyao looked at the sea not far away, the dark sky and the dark sea had completely blended into one, revealing a suffocating depression, "My parents, my friends, didn't understand me at first, but I still persevered. ”

"What do you do when you're lonely?" I asked.

Wang Mengyao's face turned red and gave me a blank look, "You, you are a hooligan!" ”

I realized that I had said the wrong thing, and quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that, I mean, when you feel lonely in your heart......"

"Okay, I know what you're trying to say, I'm going to tease you." Wang Mengyao smiled slyly and said: "Actually, there is no other way, either focus on doing things and force yourself not to think about anything else, or simply sleep, and when you fall asleep, you won't be cranky." ”

"Hehe, that's a good idea." I nodded, "However, I do have a suggestion, if you encounter this situation in the future, you can try reading the book." ”

"Reading a book?" Wang Mengyao didn't seem to believe my words, "It's useless, I've read it before, but when I read a book, I will be even more cranky, so that I don't dare to read at night now." ”

"That's the book you're reading." I laughed.

"The wrong book to read?" Wang Mengyao wondered, "Then what book should I read?" ”

I smiled and replied, "You can read some idle books, don't always read professional books, I recommend you a novel, it just so happens that I have been chasing it recently, and it is really well written." ”

Wang Mengyao said in disbelief: "Novel? What kind of novel? Is it really as good as you say? ”

I nodded in the affirmative, "This novel is called Dragon Hunt Taibao, and it tells the story of a young man who runs an antique shop and experiences some bizarre fantasy adventures. ”

Wang Mengyao frowned, "Is it a tomb robbery novel?" ”

I laughed and said, "Sort of, but tomb robbing is just its form, and its real god is actually about love and hatred, as well as thinking about human nature." ”

Wang Mengyao said with a smile: "It's as profound as you said, and it is also a reflection of human nature." Forget it, I'll just give you a face, believe you once, and I'll go to the next book to see if it's tomorrow. ”

"Okay, I'll send you the link." I smiled and said, "That's right, let's add WeChat." ”

Wang Mengyao didn't shirk it, she took out her mobile phone directly, added friends with me, and said while operating: "If you say it first, if the method you say doesn't work, I will hold you responsible." ”

"Don't worry, it's guaranteed to work!" I laughed.

Before you know it, the night is already deep.

But Wang Mengyao didn't seem to be sleepy, and she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

She always peeked at me from time to time, sometimes casually, hurriedly, and sometimes contrivedly, as if she deliberately didn't want me to notice.

"Meng Yao, what do you usually do on the island besides work and reception?"

Wang Mengyao said without thinking: "The old three are the same. ”

"The old three? What do you mean? I wondered.

"The old three are our reserved items here, and in addition to work, the staff here use these three things to pass the time." Wang Mengyao said a little gloomily.

"So what's the project?"

"Playing poker, playing table tennis, and ballroom dancing." Wang Mengyao replied.

At first glance, these three are not very boring, there are both cultural and sports projects, and leisure activities, a combination of work and rest, suitable for all ages, but, if you think about it carefully, on this isolated island, for decades, repeating the same activities, that kind of monotony, boredom I am afraid that has long occupied their hearts.

"Uh...... "I didn't know what to say for a while.

"Isn't that boring?" Wang Mengyao asked.

I shook my head, "I don't have a say, and I'm not qualified to judge your life. Perhaps, in your hearts, these activities are no longer interesting and attractive, but the flame of love and hope in your hearts has never faded. ”

A hint of something flashed in Wang Mengyao's eyes, and she smiled, "How can you be so sensational, and the flame of love and hope, next time I should let you come to the base to give a speech and give those little girls who don't know the world a beating." ”

I laughed and said, "Hahaha, okay, but aren't you a little girl?" ”

Wang Mengyao glanced up at me, quickly dodged again, blushed, and said, "I, I'm still a little girl, I'm about to become an old girl." ”
