Chapter 51: The Depressed Islands
After walking out of the door, looking at the blue sky, stunned and a little distracted, Chen Dake walked up to me and patted me and said, "What do you think, I didn't sleep all night last night, and the physical exertion is still so great, don't hurry up and go home to sleep, are you sleepy and stupid looking at the sky here?"
Being slapped by Chen Dake can be regarded as pulling my mind back, in fact, I don't know what I'm thinking, the moment I see the sky, the pictures in my mind come to me layer by layer, all of which have happened in the past few days. looked at Chen Dake and smiled faintly: "My brain is just a little dazed, and I can't accept that things are changing too fast." I always felt that what Brother Hai said was right, but I couldn't find a reasonable explanation to support him, and I always felt that Kong Sanshi's changes were a little strange, but when I saw him on trial, his expression didn't look like he was lying. Moreover, Uncle Da has been in charge of the Punishment Division for so many years, if Kong Sanshi used any careful thoughts, it is impossible for Uncle Da not to see it. Don't forget, the presiding judge this time is Uncle Da, that is the god in charge of the punishment department, and he shouldn't be wrong. I'm super struggling right now, and I don't know who's right. ”
Chen Dake put one hand on my shoulder, looked down at the ground, and walked in the direction of home under his feet and said: "You just always put pressure on yourself, if you don't know the answer to the question, then explore it yourself, the answer will always appear in front of you." If that answer isn't what you think, there's no way to do it, after all, everything is impermanent, and it's impossible for everything to fit your heart. ”
Chen Dake is right, it's useless to think about things that don't know the answer, if you don't verify it yourself, no matter what the result is, you will end up with a feeling of indecision, which will have a great impact on doing things in the future. So I immediately decided that I didn't want to do anything, and the first task was to go home and sleep. The spirit relaxed from the state of high tension, and the sleepiness suddenly intensified, and he patted his cheek to say goodbye to everyone and went home.
After going home, I talked to my mother for a while, and simply ate lunch and fell into bed to sleep, which was very sweet and very heavy. I didn't get up until half past six the next morning, took out my mobile phone and looked at it without any text messages, and the others should not have woken up yet, after all, there were still two and a half hours before the agreed departure time.
After cleaning up my personal hygiene, I saw that the old lady had also gotten up and had begun to get busy in the kitchen. After walking into the kitchen and talking to the old lady for a few words, he returned to his bedroom, looked at the notes left by his father and fell into deep thought again. Although the current Wu Yu has been improved, his own strength is still very insufficient, and such a hard injury can only be improved by his own hard work, and there is no shortcut.
After reviewing the content of the notes, the old lady's breakfast was ready, and the two of us ate while pulling the homely cooking, and when everything was cleaned up, the time was almost up. Saying goodbye to his mother, he took a taxi to the pier leading to the outlying island. I have always had a strong sense of time, but today I was the last to arrive, walked up to them, and said to them apologetically: "I'm sorry everyone, I didn't get up in the morning, and I was delayed on the road for a while, so I came late." ”
"It's okay, it's a few of us who came early, and after eating, we didn't have any fun to come to the dock to take a walk, and it just so happened that the two of them were full and idle, just like me. Zhao Jinhai quipped.
Chen Dake scratched his head and smiled innocently: "I'm different, in fact, I came early because I was overexcited." I almost didn't fall asleep last night, but I came out in the morning after cleaning up the fire, and I didn't even eat breakfast. ”
"It's okay, I didn't eat, I also got up in a bit of a hurry. I'm a little unlucky, I misjudged the time, or I wouldn't have come out so early. It seems that only Brother Hai is full and has nothing to do to come out for a walk, and a few of us are really different from him. Lu Wenzhao said with a sad face.
Zhao Jinhai's face was a little unbearable, and he grabbed Lu Wenzhao's ear and said, "Good boy, let's start dismantling my platform now, right? If I get to the outlying island, do I still have to listen to your dispatch?" Deacon Lu ......
"It hurts, it hurts...... Brother Hai let go, you'll be pulling me off in a while. Lu Wenzhao rubbed his red ears and said aggrievedly: "Where do I dare to dispatch you, I got up in the morning, and my brain is not good, so don't be like me, and I won't be able to treat you when I get to the ferry later?"
"That's pretty much it, you can also get my ticket, this is your punishment. Alright, the time is almost up, let's hurry up and get on the ferry. After speaking, Zhao Jinhai walked in front and took the three of us on the ferry. And under the coercion and temptation of Zhao Jinhai, Lu Wenzhao paid everyone's tickets, and we laughed at Lu Wenzhao with a bitter face.
Because I had breakfast with Zhao Jinhai, I ordered two drinks, and the two of them had a tumultuous meal. Zhao Jinhai and I stood on the edge of the ferry and watched the scenery along the coast, and from time to time a few seagulls flew over our heads. Looking at such a pleasant scenery, I said to Zhao Jinhai: "I like this feeling so much, I don't have to think about anything, just just enjoy life, this kind of comfort has fascinated me for a long time." After finishing the work, I really want to take my wife around and let her relax. It's really boring to save a day at home. ”
"That's a good idea, I'm in favor of it. I haven't gone to say hello to Aunt Xiao this time, I must go back with you when I come back from the outlying islands, I can dream of Aunt Xiao's craftsmanship, and I have woken up from my dreams several times. ”
"This is easy to do, tell my wife what you want to eat, she is still happy to cook, don't dare to say anything else, as far as my mother's craftsmanship is concerned, it can be called the first in our Dongsheng, even the chef in the leading restaurant is not as delicious as my mother's cooking." I have thought about it, if my wife is really bored, I will open a breakfast shop for her, not to make money, just to relieve her boredom. ”
"Your idea is really unique, I don't think you are here to relieve Aunt Xiao's boredom, you are just to let her make more money, and then you can enjoy life so leisurely. With your careful thinking, I can't see it, if Uncle Xiao is still here, you will definitely not be able to run away from this beating. ”
"I'm telling the truth, if I was just greedy for pleasure, I wouldn't have come to Wudetang on an errand, you still don't know me, let's just let you know a different Xiao Jinchuan. ”
"I hope so! What I'm most afraid of now is that Uncle Xiao will come back to you at night, in case he takes you away. ”
"Go ahead, what can he do when he comes back, I didn't do anything wrong, why did he beat me. As I said, I'm also thinking about my family, and it's too late for him to praise me. ”
The two of us were pulling our skins like this, and we were very relaxed mentally and physically. Chen Dake and Lu Wenzhao finally finished eating, one by one shy, swaying over, Zhao Jinhai said disgustedly: "Look at the two of you, I am not a beggar like you two, how delicious it must be for the two of you to eat like this, I look at that, when the business is done, you two will go to the island of exile with me, I will accept you as a little brother and be a beggar with me." ”
It can be seen that Chen Dake is somewhat ashamed, but Lu Wenzhao didn't hear the slightest sarcasm, and said to Zhao Jinhai with a shy stomach: "Let me be your little brother, I am a hundred willing, but if you want me to be a beggar with you, I'm afraid I really can't agree." I'm used to eating and drinking, if I really want to live that kind of destitute life, it is better for me to charge into battle and die on the battlefield, I will be uncomfortable without eating meat, and if I don't eat meat for a day, it will be like smoking a big cigarette. ”
"I still have to eat meat every day, do I need to bring you some wine?" Zhao Jinhai rolled his eyes angrily, and said to him angrily.
The ridiculous Lu Wenzhao arrived at this time, but he still didn't hear anything else, and after pondering for a while, he said: "I don't like to drink, so I don't have to drink all the time, if it's boring for you to drink by yourself, I'm happy to accompany you." This is what your brother Hai said, if it were someone else, I would ignore it. ”
"Roll the calves for me, I regret how I asked you to follow in the first place. As far as your brain is concerned, what is the difference between your brain and not growing, I advise you to read more books if you have nothing to do, and don't let people sell them one day without knowing. As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jinhai got up and went back to the rest cabin to rest.
I smiled at Chen Dake, shook my head and walked back to the rest cabin. Only Lu Wenzhao, who was left with a blank face, stood on the edge of the ferry and blew the sea breeze on his stomach.
The distance between the main island and the secondary island is not very far, and it took us two and a half hours from the time we got on the ferry to the time we walked down, because the speed of the ferry is a bit slow, and if it is a speedboat, it will take less than an hour to get there.
Although I enjoyed the moment, I still like the feeling of being grounded now, which makes me feel so grounded.
Standing on the dock, the four of them began to identify the direction around the map drawn by Kong Sanshi, and finally decided to go to the nearest stronghold to survey first.
Walking through the streets of the outlying islands, the environment here made me feel dull like never before. The standard of living here does not seem to be very good, and it is rare to see well-dressed people walking outside, and there are only a few small bosses.
Zhao Jinhai told us: "This is the real situation on the outlying islands, everyone's quality of life is not high, and everyone's happiness is very low, because the income is small, and they can only rely on growing fruits and some food to survive." There are not many traders here, don't look at the shops on both sides of this road, in fact, they are all empty, and the shops here are more self-financing, and few people can rely on business here. Because of poverty, the level of education is not high, and the young people can walk almost enough, and the rest are basically these old people and children who are unwilling to move the place, as well as a small number of unemployed young people. It is also this situation that the Demon Wheel Sect will put the Zhenxing Hall here to rebuild, after all, it is too safe here. ”
Listening to Zhao Jinhai talk about the local situation made me feel a kind of depression, why there is such a sense of depression, I can't say, it's just a little uncomfortable in my heart.
Directly in front of us, a man in his forties was driving an old man who was nearly eighty years old, and the four of us rushed straight over.
