Chapter 24: Outlying Islands

Speechless all night, the sun rises in the east!

In the early morning, through the wooden window, Bian Xi looked into the distance, the coastline of the island is not very long, but it has a natural harbor, like a crescent moon, lying quietly at the foot of the mountain......

Stone houses, stone streets, docks, tall gatehouses, along the island, high and low, as if it is a "stone" castle.

Looking around the castle, on the other side of the mountain, full of green, rice fields, vegetable fields, orderly distribution in the gentle slope area, farmers in twos and threes, are leading buffaloes, driving ploughs, hard work, children are in the field, chasing each other, dogs, sheep jumping......

Not far from the courtyard......

The chickens and ducks began to sing, the smoke rose from the stone house, and the women began to prepare their meals for the day!

"Exquisite out of nature", "aspiring to return to the pure". The stone house on the island in front of you is built on the seaside, integrating the feelings of the sea, and taking into account the natural simplicity of the stone, walking in the meantime, surrounded by this stone castle, pastoral life, male farming and female weaving, people's hearts will become pure and simple!

The "outlying island" is far away from the Central Plains of the mainland, and it is a small island in the East China Sea that no one knows.

Later, with the arrival of Jiugong and Hong'er, everything here gradually changed, making it finally a paradise away from the hustle and bustle of the city!

In front of him, the refreshing scenery reminded Bian Xi of his former home...... The small mountain village at the foot of Chu Mountain, but unfortunately now the clouds have disappeared and the ashes have disappeared!

"Bian Xi, Lord Bian, you got up so early, so distracted, could it be that you didn't sleep well last night?" With an old and energetic voice, it sounded behind Bian Xi, and he knew that it was Jiugong coming......

So, Bian Xi hurriedly turned around, greeted him, and said: "Thanks to the love of Jiugong, I slept last night, but I was just ......."

"Just homesick? Or did you make Hong'er angry? Jiugong stroked his beard, and then laughed......

"What do you think of my castle? Looking at Bian Xi's puzzled expression, Jiugong knew that he had hit his pain point again! So, deliberately in the midst of laughter, he diverted the topic, pointed out the window, and talked about the military use of the "outlying islands" to himself......

"Bian Xi, don't underestimate these inconspicuous stone houses, they seem to be built everywhere in twos and threes, but they imply the life and death of Zhou Yi's gossip...... Although the outlying island is not big, if used properly, it is enough to protect all the people on the island!

In wartime, with only a little transformation, it is an impregnable stone fortress, as long as everyone is united, it can resist all invading enemies! ”

"Oh? Or Jiugong has a vision, both come, then peace, take precautions, on this island, layout in advance, built such a paradise! In peacetime, you can live and work in peace and contentment, but in wartime, you can attack and retreat, and even if you leave later, you will leave endless blessings for the people here...... What a master! ”

"Hahaha, Bian Xi, Lord Bian, you have a good reputation, you are old, this is not all my credit, a considerable part of the credit, should belong to Hong'er......" Jiugong said leisurely.

"Hong'er"? Bian Xi asked curiously.

"Yes, it's Hong'er, you may not know, since crossing over, coming to this island, from nothing, to today's flowers, from desolation, to prosperity, in fact, she planned it all and I implemented it......

Including using the methods of the later generations to take this life, a little wealth, used to build remote island villas, stone forts, docks, and buildings, it was also under her advice that I suddenly became enlightened......

Don't underestimate her, although she is a little girl now, she is an extremely intelligent person!

Ever since she crossed over with a thousand mountains and twilight, the cat named Cher, in her arms...... I found that as long as she was with Cher, she could always come up with amazing ideas and put forward the most effective suggestions in a critical moment!

I am very satisfied with this granddaughter, and sometimes, I can't help but sigh secretly, saying that this is a blessing from the previous life...... Alas, it's a pity that some people are always in the midst of blessings and don't know blessings? ”

"Hahaha......"

Jiugong laughed again, making Bian Xi instantly ashamed of himself!

"Grandpa Jiugong, what are you talking nonsense in front of Lord Bian Xi? You see that you are old, and you can't be idle, chewing your tongue everywhere, ashamed, ashamed, ashamed, really not ashamed? ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a red figure, floating leisurely in front of the two......

She was coquettish and cute, pulling the old man's white beard, with a strange look, the old man, hurriedly begged for mercy, and said with a smile: "Good Hong'er, good Hong'er, I'm also helping you, look at it, that stupid boy, he hasn't opened his mind yet, I don't order him, who orders him?" ”

"Hmph, anyway, you don't have to worry about my business in the future...... Last night, I already recognized Lord Bian Xi as my brother, and said okay, in this life, I will never regret it, don't believe you asked him to go?

Remember, you old man, don't talk nonsense in the future? After Hong'er finished speaking, she spread her hands, stomped her feet, pouted, deliberately pretended to be angry, turned away, and ignored the two of them......

"Oh? I see, hahaha...... Okay, okay, my old man finally understood, don't say it, never say it again, isn't this still possible? ”

Hehe...... Faced with such an empathetic, Bing Xue's smart granddaughter, Jiu Gong instantly understood the deep meaning, so he secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart!

"Oh, by the way, Lord Bian Xi, don't you want to hear the legend of the merman? Today, if you have nothing to do, then I will tell you a paragraph, maybe in the near future, you will meet ......"
