Chapter 69: The Mysterious Island

Although Cui Mingren has a bad reputation in the company, he is known for being mean. But the way he was so wary of me also made me feel strange.

Even if there are other people on the island who threaten me, my arrival can be regarded as increasing their strength, and Cui Mingren should be even more happy, right?

But I still put away my doubts, and pretended to be excited to show Wu Xiuwen the accommodation she arranged for me.

"This room is where Mr. Cui lives. This is where our girls live, so it's not convenient for you to live in. Xiao Cheng, only you live in this room, but I have to tell you that the mute you just saw also lives here. But he's scared, so you don't have to worry about him. Wu Xiuwen pointed to a room next to the door and said.

She spoke in the same tone as when arranging accommodation for tourists.

I looked through the door and saw that there was only a small wooden bed in the room. The bed was covered with rattan mats, and a dirty sheet was scattered on it, which was supposed to be the place where the strange mute slept. Tools and firewood were scattered around the rest of the house, and baskets and cloth bags hung from the beams. I don't know how long the floor hasn't been wiped, and it's all black footprints and sheep dung.

"Okay, it's nice to have a sheltered place to sleep. By the way, Guide Wu, before we come, this house will live by this dumb person?" I asked Wu Xiuwen with a smile.

"Hmm. However, there are strange things on this island, so don't walk around!" Wu Xiuwen admonished.

"Weird? Oh, okay. I listen to you. I was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

"Alas, in fact, don't blame Mr. Cui for being nervous, he is also good for everyone, in short, you don't talk too much. Wu Xiuwen smiled charmingly at me, and then turned around and went back to the dining room.

"If you don't let me talk, don't I walk around, then I'm not locked up here?" I wondered. I don't know what the hell Cui Mingren is doing.

But I was obsessed with the gun in his hand.

I remember fishing for some bullets in the lake. I dismantled some bullets and made gunpowder into bombs. But there are still dozens left. I'm not familiar with the old rifle like Enfield, but I think those bullets should be able to fire with this gun.

"If only I had a gun. Even if there are robbers hiding on this island, I am not afraid. I thought to myself.

But Cui Mingren obviously regarded that gun as his scepter, and he would never give it to me easily.

"Let's get to the bottom of the situation here. "I made up my mind. Began to scan the room of the mute.

I wondered just now that if the dumb man lived on the island himself, he would never build such a big house. Judging by the three bedrooms in the house and the kitchenware in the kitchen, there is room for at least ten people to rest and live here.

What is this place, and who built this room?

If the fishermen are sheltering from the wind and waves here, then they should be close to the sea, and how can they be covered in the woods of the island, such a hidden place?

I thought as I put the pots and pots on the floor into a corner of the room to make room for myself a clean place to sleep. After all, the dumb man is the owner of this house, and I can't grab that bed with him to sleep.

When I was sorting out the baskets and bags on the beams of the house, I found a small half-bag of rice and some grains such as dried sweet potatoes and beans.

It seems that Cui Mingren and the others are eating dumb rations.

The dumb man's waist is broken, and he can't go into the sea to fish, and it is estimated that he only lives on this food.

But when Cui Mingren was eating, he didn't leave a little for the dumb man, this is a typical dove occupying the magpie's nest, too unkind.

No wonder the dumb man saw me, like seeing a savior, full of grievances, hoping that I could support him.

It's a pity that he recognized the wrong person, and I am not the bandit who died in the sea.

In addition, even if he could speak, I couldn't understand what he said, and it was easier for me to show my stuff.

Since he recognized the wrong person, I will be wrong and see what the dumb man shows. Maybe this will unlock the island's secrets.
