"Twenty miles to the east, there is an island ——!"

The disciple on the mast, with excellent eyesight, raised his head and looked into the distance, and shouted below. The people on board, hearing the shouting, stepped onto the deck and looked ahead.

After many days of rainy days, the sky was clear, the sky was clear, and the sea and sky were colorful. In the distance, you can see a green-covered island, getting closer and closer.

Xu has been traveling at sea for a long time, and he is used to seeing the boundless sea water every day, and when he first saw this island in the ocean, everyone looked happy, and it was the sea ship of the Canghai Gang, which was also left behind for the time being.

Lin Yi also gathered behind the crowd and looked curiously at the small island that suddenly came from the sea. I don't know where this is, could it be in a foreign country?

More than half an hour later, as the Celestial Dragon Sect's ship approached, the island also clearly showed its full appearance.

On the island with a radius of more than ten miles, the mountains and forests are endless, the trees are luxuriant, and a circle of silver-white sand beaches surrounds the island. The scenery of the island and the clear blue waters are breathtaking.

A simple pier with a few small boats moored and houses hidden in emerald color. Apparently, the island is inhabited.

The sea boat circled the island for half a circle, slowly approaching the pier. The sudden appearance of the large ship alarmed the inhabitants of the island, and some of them came out of the grass huts and looked at these uninvited guests with trepidation.

The appearance and clothing of these people on the island are like the people of the big merchants, but they don't know where this place is.

After the Tianlong Sect left the disciples guarding the boat, the gangplank was lowered on the ship, and Meng Shan and the others walked off the boat with Elder Jiang in their arms. Lin Yiyi wanted to stay on the boat, and after glancing at the two Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples who were about to leave, he followed behind everyone with a wry smile and set foot on this small island with beautiful scenery.

The people on the island, seeing that the Tianlong faction had landed on the island, gathered together one by one in panic.

A gray-haired old man came out of the crowd, greeted Elder Jiang, and bowed his hand: "I don't know where the distinguished guest comes from? What are you doing when you come to my island? If you are sent, even if you are instructed, the little old man will definitely obey his fate!"

Elder Jiang also returned the salute and said indifferently: "I and the others came from Dashang, passed through here, and rested for a while. But if there is a need, it will not be disadvantaged. I hope this old brother can make it easier!"

The clansmen behind the old man were surprised when they heard this. The old man was also overjoyed, and said, "It turned out to be a native of the homeland, and the little old man was rude!" Then, someone cheered, and more people came out of the distant woods, smiling one by one, and greeted him.

Originally, the name of this island was "Outlying Island". The people of the island came here hundreds of years ago from the great merchants to avoid trouble. These people missed their homeland and named the island "Outlying Island".

The people of the island consider themselves "homeless", which alludes to the meaning of uprooting. The old man is the patriarch, and when he sees people from his homeland, he is very affectionate. The hospitable islanders also invited everyone to their homes as guests.

It is difficult to resist the hospitality, and everyone can only follow the customs. Lin Yi walked behind everyone and saw a seven or eight-year-old boy, dressed in shorts and shorts, with a round face and a pair of black and white eyes, turning smartly.

The boy trotted to Lin Yi barefoot, grabbed his sleeve, and said earnestly, "Go to my house!"

"Hehe! What's your name?" Lin Yi reached out and touched the child's head, smiling gently.

Seeing that Lin Yi agreed, the boy happily ran ahead. He turned around and laughed, showing two tiger teeth, and said, "My name is Haisheng, what about you?"

Lin Yi followed this sea life, walked forward along the beach, and casually replied: "My name is Lin Yi"

"Then I call you Brother Lin, is it done?" Hai Sheng stopped and asked with his eyes fixed on Lin Yi.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Okay, Haisheng, where is your home?"

Haisheng happily turned his head on the beach and shouted, "My house is in front, Brother Lin comes with me!"

Lin Yi walked not far with Haisheng, turned around a forest, and saw several grass huts. In front of the grass hut, an old man in shabby clothes was spreading the wrinkles on his face, smiling and rubbing his hands, nodding frequently.

Haisheng said that this was his grandfather, Lin Yili didn't dare to abolish it, and respectfully stepped forward to say hello.

The old man's expression was a little restrained, and he invited Lin Yi to sit on the stool in front of the house, but Haisheng was busy bringing food, and kept asking about what he had seen and heard at sea, as well as the situation of the big businessmen.

Lin Yi also knew that these people were far away from their homeland and their nostalgia was unforgettable, so he talked with his grandparents and grandchildren. It turns out that the people on the island did not migrate here as a clan. These people have taken refuge here far away from the big merchants, and they are all fallen people at the end of the world, and when they miss their homeland, they all call themselves people who have left their clans.

The island is not two thousand miles away from Dashang. Previously, these people also regarded the people of the Celestial Dragon Sect as pirates, so they looked panicked.

"Uncle, did you just say that there are pirates on this sea?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

Hearing Lin Yi ask like this, Haisheng's smiling face slowly stiffened. The old man sighed and said to Lin Yi: "To the north, there is an "uninhabited island", on which a group of thieves are entrenched, often plundering passing ships, and sometimes harming the people on nearby islands. The father and mother of the sea died at their hands when they went out to sea to fish. ”

It turned out that Haisheng was dependent on his grandfather for his life, and it was really not easy at a young age. Lin Yi secretly sighed, and then asked, "Is the island where the thief is located an isolated island that is not inhabited in the first place?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Actually, it is a big island, and the name of the island is called "uninhabited island". It is a good place with mountains and waters, and the island has been inhabited for a long time. It's just that the gang of thieves is afraid that people will know about such a place, so they deliberately claim it like this. ”

Lin nodded a little, this thief is also shrewd, and he just wants to cover up.

"Brother Lin, you taste this, this is the fruit I picked"

Hai Sheng's eyes seemed to be talking, staring at Lin Yi with expectation.

These people, who have been away from their homeland for hundreds of years, far away from the mainland, and hidden on this small island in the ocean, do not know how many hardships they have gone through to survive to this day, and it is even more difficult for the ancestors and grandchildren in front of them.

"Uncle, have you ever thought about going home?"

The old man opened his mouth, which had few teeth, and smiled bitterly. He touched the sparse white beard on his chin, looked into the distance with cloudy eyes, and sighed: "Ye Luo still knows that he has returned to his roots, who doesn't want to go home?

Haisheng's eyes lit up, Xu understood his grandfather's words, and then he was gloomy and lowered his head silently.

Lin Yi secretly blamed himself, he shouldn't have said such things to make the old man sad, but he didn't know how to comfort him, and for a while, he could only sigh slowly.

Who can miss home? I often think of the fairy peak, the little Tianao, not to mention these people who have been adrift overseas for hundreds of years.

If you don't go back, you'll be homesick! But when you go back, you are afraid that things are people and you have nothing to do! The home of the people who have left the clan is this outlying island. Their roots are big businessmen. And the way home, for these people, may just be a never-ending dream.

"The pirates are coming......"

A sudden shout in the distance made the three people who spoke stunned.
