When I entered the small restaurant, I was greeted by a young waitress who greeted him politely: "Brother Hai, please take a seat!"

"Brother Hai" is a nickname given to seafarers by locals, and it sounds very frustrating. Many seafarers' hard-earned money is spent in this place, which is an important source of income for local businessmen, and of course it will be popular.

Lu Yi was also confused by the other party's good attitude, and after sitting down, he asked the girl to write several particularly expensive dishes.

When the girl saw that she met a high roller, she was even more attentive, and after a while, she served the food, and specially served a bottle of wine, and said with a smile: "Brother Hai, this wine is my family's own special mellow fairy wine, and I usually keep it for myself." Let my brother try it today, I hope you like it. ”

Lu Yi took a sip, and it was really mellow and sweet, and he couldn't help but praise: "Hmm! It's really delicious!"

The girl was very happy when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother likes it, please use it slowly." ”

At this time, there was only one customer in the entire small restaurant, Lu Yi, and only one waiter. After serving Lu Yi's side, the girl stood at the counter with nothing to do, with a sad face.

Lu Yi summoned the girl over and said, "Girl, there are no guests anyway, can you talk to me?"

The girl misunderstood what Lu Yi meant, and hurriedly refused: "I can't speak, if Brother Hai wants to find someone to talk to, you can go to the Sorrow Hall, if you want to be happy, you can go to the Gentle Hall, this is just a restaurant, you can only serve wine and food, and there can be no other services." ”

Lu Yi hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, girl, I just want to ask you about some things and ask a few questions, not to ask you to provide any special services."

And, if your answers can help me, I can pay you somewhat. ”

With that, Lu Yi took out a piece of standard gold and put it on the table.

Seeing the gold, the girl immediately smiled like a flower and said: "Brother Hai, if you have any questions, just ask, I must know everything, and I will say everything!"

"Okay, sit down, I'll ask slowly, you say slowly. ”

The girl obediently sat down opposite Lu Yi.

Lu Yi then asked, "What's your name?"

"Does it matter?...... Hey, forget it, my name is Gu Yu. ”

Gu Yu didn't want to tell the strange Lu Yi his name, but when he saw that the gold that Lu Yi put on the table was shining, he gritted his teeth and recognized it.

Lu Yi smiled and said, "Very good, Miss Gu Yu, your name reminds me of the solar terms in my hometown...... To get to the point, your little shop doesn't seem to have any customers, do you know why?"

"What's your problem? Do I have any guests here and what does it matter to you?"

Gu Yu was very stubborn and didn't want to answer this question, but after seeing Lu Yi grab the gold back in his hand, he immediately continued: "Those Sorrow Pavilion, Hammer Back Pavilion, and Gentle Pavilion are all built on the south side of the island, and the sea brothers have all gone there, I am here in the north of the island, of course, there are not many fresh customers."

If my mother was still here, with her cooking skills, she would still attract a group of regular customers, but some time ago she ...... Alas, she can't come back anyway.

Now only my uncle and I are left in this small shop, and regular customers are not coming, and business is getting worse and worse, alas!"

Speaking of these, Gu Yu's tears were about to drip out.

The reason why Lu Yi asked these questions was not for nothing, his purpose was to understand the other party, and secondly, to observe the expression of the other party when he told the truth, so the next question, whether the other party was telling the truth or falsehood was easy to judge.

"Gu Yu, do you know what's going on on that island in the north?"

Lu Yi abruptly went straight to the point, with the intention of seeing Gu Yu's first reaction.

After hearing this question, a wave of uneasiness flashed on Gu Yu's face, but he immediately covered it up and responded in a normal tone: "It's a seafarer's sanatorium run by the government, don't you know that you're a seafarer?"

However, from Gu Yu's reaction, Lu Yi already knew that this girl knew some information, but she just didn't want to say it or didn't dare to say it.

Lu Yi smiled lightly, took out a piece of standard gold from his arms, and put it in front of Gu Yu along with the original one, and said, "Gu Yu, tell me what you know, this gold is yours...... I'll give you ten breaths to think about it, and if you don't say it, I'll leave at once and ask the others, and I don't believe that no one will want this gold. ”

Gu Yu struggled for a moment, but looked at the two shining pieces of standard gold, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Hai, I can't hide it, I am one of the very few people who know, and I signed a confidentiality agreement with the official family. No matter how much gold you take and ask outside, you won't get a real answer.

Alas, if I hadn't been desperate and in dire need of money, I wouldn't have told you.

However, before I tell you, I also want to get to know you first, and you have to answer me a few questions honestly. ”

Lu Yi looked at Gu Yu's serious expression, nodded and said, "You ask." ”

"What's your name, and which ship are you sailing on?"

"My name is Lu Yi, and I'm a crew member of a supply ship on the main island. ”

"Okay, Luyi, why are you so interested in that island?"

"I won't hide it from you, one of my co-workers was taken up there, and I heard that there was no return to that place, and I wanted to bring my co-workers back. ”

Lu Yi's answer frightened Gu Yu almost jumped, and hurriedly said: "Lu Yi, don't talk so loudly, if people hear it, you and I will be in trouble!"

Don't be stupid, your co-workers are like my mother, and they won't come back!

The island used to be a hospital for seafarers, but since the outbreak of an epidemic a few years ago, it has become a quarantine and research base.

I have a girlfriend's sister who works as a doctor on it, so I know a little bit about it.

It is said that the disease originated in the island nation of the East, and at first it spread among the crew, and it was not very contagious, but the infected people could not be cured and eventually died.

Now that the epidemic has spread among many island residents, the situation is so severe that the government has no choice but to isolate the confirmed cases and eventually send them to the small island. My mother was diagnosed and taken away a few days ago, but fortunately, my uncle and I were fine after the examination.

Our Huanglong Island country has thousands of islands, all of which depend on the maintenance of seagoing ships and crews, once people know that seafarers will bring epidemics, the consequences are really unimaginable, in order to avoid causing panic, the official family has been keeping this matter strictly secret.

Lu Yi, don't tell anyone, or you'll get into big trouble!

Well, that's all I know. ”

After listening to this, Lu Yi finally understood, and just wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by a few people who suddenly rushed in.

I saw a few fierce and vicious men who came in, and at a glance they knew that they were not good.

After entering the door, without saying a word, one of the big men walked into the kitchen and took Gu Yu's uncle out.

The first person said to Gu Yu: "Little girl, today is the last repayment period, I will give you three choices, one is to repay the money, the second is to let your uncle die, and the third is to sign a contract with me to go to the Gentle Pavilion to be a young lady." ”
