Zhou Zhiruo frowned slightly, "We're going to Xia Ke Island, why don't we go directly?"

Kang Shuyan didn't dare to look at Zhou Zhiruo, but lowered his head and explained, "Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want to take you there, but that Xia Ke Island is closed every day, and no one is allowed to land on the island, and from here to Xia Ke Island, there is still a three-hour trip, and when we get there, the island has been closed." ”

A hint of surprise flashed on Murong Fu's face, Xia Ke Island acted so carefully and secretly, which was a little unexpected to him, but since it was only a three-hour journey, it didn't matter if he delayed for one more night, not to mention that the Xia Ke Island in this world was not quite the same as he had in his impression, so he could find out some news first.

As his mind turned, Murong Fu smiled and said, "Brother Kang's words are serious, if I hadn't met Brother Kang, I'm afraid I would still be trapped on the sea at this moment, since the island is closed at the right time, then it's nothing for me to wait here for one night, but I still need to worry about Brother Kang tomorrow." ”

"Haha, what's the trouble of this," Kang Shuyan smiled heartily, and then his face pale slightly, "What does Brother Murong mean by this, aren't you going to rest with your brother to the cold house for one night?"

"This ......" Murong Fu's face showed a little embarrassment, "There are many of us, it's not good to ......"

Before he finished speaking, Kang Shuyan waved his hand, "Brother Murong doesn't have to worry about this, how can you say that brother is also a landlord on this Yuanke Island, and he will never let you sleep on the streets!"

At this point, Murong Fu didn't shirk anymore, and arched his hand, "In this way, it's bothering." ”

"Haha, that's just like words!" Kang Shuyan smiled with a sigh of relief.

As soon as Murong Fu spoke, the women would not have any opinions, and then Zhou Zhiruo called Ding Minjun to give a brief explanation, and asked the disciples to guard the big ship, while Jing Xuan went with her.

A moment later, Murong Fu and his entourage of five got off the big boat and followed Kang Shuyan to Yuanke Island.

"Huh?" After walking for about ten miles and crossing a mountain, Murong Fu suddenly sighed and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Kang Shuyan asked suspiciously.

"Dare to ask Brother Kang, how many families are there on this island?" Murong Fu's tone was indescribably surprised, when he was outside the island before, he saw that the island was full of mountains and steep peaks, although he could faintly see the smoke rising, but at most there were only a dozen or so households, and when he turned over the mountain, he saw that there was a huge basin surrounded by mountains, and the high and low houses in the basin were dotted and dense, and there were no less than thousands of households.

Originally, there were so many small islands on the outskirts of Xia Ke Island, which was enough to surprise Murong Fu, but he didn't expect that there were so many people on this outermost island, how could he not be shocked.

Hearing Murong relapse, Kang Shuyan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said with a smile, "No more, no less, more than 3,000 households." “

Murong Fu's heart was shocked, if the rest of the islands were like this, then this island group would almost be equivalent to a small country, in other words, if these small islands were ruled by Xia Ke Island, then Xia Ke Island's ambition was not trivial.

Thinking so in his heart, he asked, "And the rest of the small islands, are there also so many people?"

"That's not true, among the islands, only four islands such as Xia Ke Island, Yuan Ke Island, Junshan Island, and Jiuyuan Island are inhabited," Kang Shuyan shook his head and explained, "The word 'Yuan Ke' on this Yuan Ke Island refers to the meaning of 'fate comes and goes, fate is a guest', as long as you arrive on this island, you are the most distinguished guest, so the population of this island is the largest among the surrounding island groups, and even Xia Ke Island cannot be compared." ”

Murong Fu nodded, secretly paying attention to the Junshan Island and Jiuyuan Island mentioned by Kang Shuyan, but his face was full of yearning, and said, "I didn't expect that there is really such a place in the world that is so far away from the mortal world, and the rumored paradise is nothing more than that." ”

Kang Shuyan smiled, but it was rare that he didn't answer.

Murong Fu was slightly stunned and reacted, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, with such a large population, plus a mysterious force shrouded in the island of Xiake, how can it be calm, the real paradise, I am afraid that only the inaccessible deep mountains and old forests exist.

As he spoke, everyone had already descended the mountain, Kang Shuyan pointed to the town in front of him and said, "Brother Murong, the front is 'Yuanlai Town'." ”

Murong Fu raised his eyes and looked, sure enough, a rather simple town came into view, a three-zhang wide street running through the north and south, standing here, you can already see the other end of the town, pedestrians on the street, different clothes, most of the men are wearing a short coat, bare-chested, and the women are mostly coarse linen clothes, just seeking to cover the body, a strong rustic atmosphere is blowing in the face.

It's no wonder that Kang Shuyan was shocked when he saw Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min and others, even if the women on the whole street were beautiful, they rarely wore makeup and dressed up, let alone gorgeous clothes, and were naturally very beautiful.

Murong Fu thought a little funny in his heart, his eyes wandered around the street shops, but he saw that most of the goods sold in the shops were mainly fresh fish and shrimp, and most of the rest were some wild boars, hares and other prey, but there were almost no clothes, inns, green buildings, etc.

Kang Shuyan talked eloquently, constantly introducing the special products and folk customs of Yuanlai Town to everyone, saying that it was everyone, but in fact, most of the attention was on Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo.

However, the second daughter didn't feel anything, and only nodded occasionally in response, and in the end, Kang Shuyan seemed to see that the second daughter was not interested in these things, so she changed the topic and talked about the origin of Yuanke Island.

"Speaking of which, Yuanke Island is the oldest island except for Xia Ke Island, and the island is ......."

After a while, everyone came to the front of a rather luxurious house, saying that luxury is only compared to other houses in the town, but seeing its high walls and green tiles, red lacquer gates, there are two stone lions with one person high at the door, and a plaque is hung on the door, on which two big characters are written, "Kangfu".

"Haha, it seems that Brother Kang is also a landlord in this town!" Murong Fu laughed and said with a little ridicule.

Kang Shuyan glanced at Zhou Zhiruo quickly, then shook his head and smiled, "Brother Murong, don't make fun of your brother, since you are from the Central Plains, you have seen more of the world, how can you really take the cold house in your eyes." ”

"You are self-aware. Murong Fu smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was impassive, and said, "Brother Kang's words are wrong, gold will shine wherever it is, and the Kang Mansion can have an extraordinary status on this Yuanke Island, and it is the same when he goes to the Central Plains!"

Kang Shuyan's heart moved, and he stopped talking.

"Brother Kang has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Murong Fu looked at his words and immediately said cheerfully.

Kang Shuyan smiled and slapped his forehead suddenly, "Look at my memory, how can I let you distinguished guests stand in front of the door and talk, quick, please inside!"

As he spoke, he pushed open the door and made a gesture of please.

Murong Fu and the others were not polite, and walked straight in, and before they could look at the situation in the house, they were greeted by a gust of fragrant wind.

Although Murong Fu reacted, he had no intention of avoiding it, and stood straight in place.

"Ouch", a petite body was loaded on Murong Fu's body, and then it was bounced out and fell to the ground, but it was a woman.

The woman screamed in pain, raised her head, but saw several strangers standing in front of her, the woman's appearance was peerless, the man was handsome, it was no different from the immortal in the painting, she couldn't help but stay in place, and muttered, "Did I bump into the immortal......

This woman was about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed plainly, with two pigtails on her head, and had a pure and lovely temperament.

A warm smile appeared on Murong Fu's face, he bent down slightly, and reached out with a hand, "Girl, it hurts." ”

The woman came back to her senses, her cheeks were slightly red, and she unconsciously stretched out a hand and put it on Murong Fu's palm.

The soft touch made his heart warm slightly, and he gently helped the woman up, and was about to say something, when a sharp pain suddenly came from his waist, but Zhao Min's hand had already touched his soft underbelly and twisted it fiercely.

"Xiaohuan, why are you here?" At this time, Kang Shuyan stepped forward, saw the woman's face, and couldn't help but wonder.

When the woman called Xiaohuan saw Kang Shuyan, she was overjoyed, "Childe, it turns out that you are here, the second son has an accident, come with me." ”

said that he was going to Lakang Shuyan, but Kang Shuyan took a step back without a trace, looked solemn, and said, "Xiaohuan, how many times have I told you, you have to be calm in trouble, don't be angry, say that the wind is rain, and there is a son on the top of the sky when it falls." ”

Xiaohuan seemed to be frightened by Kang Shuyan's harsh words, and only after a long time did he say, "Yes, Childe, Xiaohuan knows that it is wrong." ”

"Hmm!" Kang Shuyan nodded with satisfaction and asked, "What happened to the second son?" ”

Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Murong Fu and the others, the meaning was self-evident.

Kang Shuyan waved his hand, "It's okay, these are my distinguished guests, there is nothing to avoid." ”

"Childe, second son, he ...... He wants to break his leg, and the old lady can't persuade him, you ......"

Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Kang Shuyan, "What are you talking about?

Xiaohuan nodded.

"Oh, why didn't you say it earlier!" Kang Shuyan glared at Xiaohuan, and ran quickly to the backyard, not forgetting to explain while running, "Entertain distinguished guests for me!"

"Poof!" Zhao Min couldn't help but chuckle, it was Zhou Zhiruo, who had always been cold, and she couldn't help laughing.

"Obviously you asked me to say it slowly......" Xiaohuan glanced at Kang Shuyan's back and muttered in his mouth.

"Girl, is there any trouble in the house, do you need our help?" asked Murong Fu. He was really a little curious in his heart, what kind of disease did the "second son" have, and he actually wanted to break his leg.

Xiaohuan glanced at Murong Fu a little shyly, and hurriedly shook his head, "No...... Don't dare to bother the distinguished guests, the prince wants me to entertain you, please come with me. ”

When she had finished speaking, she led the way.

Although Murong Fu was curious, he was new to the city, so he didn't want to break in at will, so he immediately gave up and followed Xiaohuan.

"Childe, this is a specialty of Yuanke Island, called 'Xiangwu Tea', which is known for its comfortable taste and long-lasting fragrance, which cannot be drunk outside the island. When he arrived at the living room, Xiaohuan served fragrant tea and introduced it while pouring tea.

Murong Fu took a deep breath, but as he said, the fragrance was fresh and elegant, and it lasted for a long time, but he didn't know anything about the tea ceremony, and he couldn't say what was good and what was not.

"Little girl, how do you know that we are from outside the island?" Zhao Min's eyes flashed, and he asked faintly.

"Hehe," Xiaohuan covered his mouth and smiled, saluted Zhao Minfu, Yingying said, "If it is a person on the island, Xiaohuan should know it, but your faces and dresses, don't say that this Yuanke Island, that is, Junshan Island and Jiuyuan Island, as well as Xia Ke Island, are very rare, I know that you are people from outside." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Xiaohuan said again, "And I heard that there are still a group of people from outside who have come here recently, but they should all be on Xia Ke Island at this time, and Xiaohuan has not seen them either." ”

Murong Fu's heart moved, "Do you know when they came?"

A flash of remembrance flashed in Xiaohuan's eyes, "It should be the day before yesterday, everyone in Kangfu went out that day, saying that they were going to Xia Ke Island to greet your guests, hey, shouldn't you go directly to Xia Ke Island?"
