Chapter 245 The Landlord's Child(1/2)

-------

Because there would be a storm that night, the dinner was basically finished before the sun set. Everyone got together and divided the huge coconut crab, and there were also many kinds of seafood.

A variety of methods are presented.

And Zhao Yifan was very happy to eat.

He didn't expect to be able to eat such delicious food on this kind of island. The seafood was cooked very well, whether it was charcoal grilling or deep-frying, it was cooked perfectly, bringing out the deliciousness of the seafood to the fullest.

This meal, Zhao Yifan was a feast for the eyes, and he was overly full.

In the evening, the women had another conflict about taking in Zhao Yifan. In the end, the man in his forties or fifties who was talking to Zhao Yifan suddenly said, "What's the fuss about? He's staying at my house tonight, what do you think?"

So everyone looked at each other and finally shook their heads and said, "No opinions, no opinions."

Zhao Yifan looked at the man very confused, as if these fishermen would listen to whatever he said. Who is he?

Later, Zhao Yifan found out that he was the head of this fishing village...

"Hiccup~, I feel so good..."

At night, Zhao Yifan lay outside the house, feeling the cold wind blowing before the storm, burping and feeling uncomfortable.

The man walked out of the room, sat next to Zhao Yifan and said, "What's going on, are you comfortable?"

Zhao Yifan stretched out and groaned comfortably, "Well~, it's so comfortable."

"As long as it's comfortable, as long as it's comfortable..." The man nodded and muttered twice, was silent for a while, and then said, "You...where are you going? It depends on you.

If you are in such a hurry, you must be doing something, right?"

Zhao Yifan turned his head and looked at the man. He lay on the ground, shrugged and said with a smile, "I don't know, I... I should be wandering aimlessly now."

"Running away from home?" The man frowned and looked at Zhao Yifan.

"No." Zhao Yifan shook his head and continued, "I'm waiting for someone, waiting for someone to find me."

As he said this, he turned to look at the man and said with a smile, "I'm playing hide and seek. If you find me, I'll tell you a secret!"

The man nodded in understanding and said, "That's right, hide and seek... How long do you plan to hide?"

Zhao Yifan looked at the dark clouds gradually gathering in the sky with a smile, feeling the increasingly violent wind, and said lightly, "One year, one year later I will go back and lock up the secret forever."

"Oh." The man nodded, but then asked, "What kind of secret is that? Can you tell me that this old man can't hear it? Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped!"

Zhao Yifan looked at the man's kind smile, paused for a moment, then smiled mysteriously and said, "Are you sure you won't tell anyone?"

"That's of course! Old man, I've lived almost my whole life and I never tell lies!" the man promised, patting his chest with a smile.

"Then..." Zhao Yifan paused, then looked at the man with a mysterious smile and said, "Then listen carefully, the secret is..."

...

Hoo~, hoo~!

That night, it was a storm with thunder and lightning, the wind was strong outside, the sound of the wind was like the scream of a ghost, and the waves were like a big net in the sky, beating on the shore again and again.

That night, all the fishermen fortified their houses and closed their doors.

However, in the seawater filled with fishing nets, a dark figure stood suddenly. Although the seawater had reached the man's chest, he still bent over and braved the wind and waves to repair the damaged fishing nets in the seawater.

"Well, cough, cough, damn, I knew this fishing net wouldn't last tonight!"

The man in the sea had flowing gray hair. He was holding on to the broken fishing nets in his hands, struggling to pull them together and then tying them together with the hemp rope trapped in his body to tie them into a tight knot.

The man's eyes flashed with a code under the thunder. He carried thick hemp ropes on his back and walked among the fishing nets to repair them despite the waves and heavy rain.

And he is Zhao Yifan.

Because he had destroyed the fishing net and was unable to help during the day, and the villagers were so kind to him at night, he already felt very ashamed.

Although they were beaten, they deserved it. After all, it was their livelihood. If you were beaten by others, wouldn't they fight for you?

Although the fishermen's fishing nets have been repaired very well, it is difficult and basically impossible for ordinary people to repair the fishing nets in a short time to the point where they cannot be blown away even by strong winds and rains.

But if he repaired it himself, that would be different. Not to mention that he is still a person who has mastered the law of power. Therefore, although the fishing net was repaired by Zhao Yifan, although it would not be blown away by a tornado, no matter how strong the storm was, it would not be able to blow it away.

It's broken up.

Zhao Yifan moved with difficulty in the waves. No matter how strong he was, he could not be stronger than the power of nature.

He was knocked down into the water by huge waves several times, took several mouthfuls of salt water, and was almost swept away by the waves. However, with his wild strength and his tenacious perseverance, Zhao Yifan still carried it all the way.

After wasting a whole night, Zhao Yifan successfully repaired the fishing net.

Not far away, there was another dark cloud, carrying huge waves.

Zhao Yifan climbed up to the shore with difficulty, panting heavily and looking exhausted at the fishing nets in the water. At this time, he was seriously dehydrated because he drank too much sea water.

He looked back at the wooden house dozens of meters away from him, sighed and shook it, stood up and crawled over slowly, "Damn it, I have to clean up the sins I have made, no matter how hard it is...

.”

Boom, boom, boom.

Zhao Yifan climbed up the wooden house step by step with difficulty. In the end, he was exhausted. His eyes rolled and he fell directly outside the wooden house. Then he picked up the large can of fresh water he had prepared by the wooden beam and drank it slowly.

The thirstier you are, the less likely you are to drink too quickly.

However, he had not slept for a whole day, and then struggled with the forces of nature all night long. Coupled with the severe lack of water, he had no strength to stand up again.

He looked at the waves hitting him a few meters away, but the fishing net was still intact. He smiled slightly and said, "That's all."

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell directly outside the wooden house and fell asleep.

...

It wasn't until 9 o'clock the next morning, after the rain stopped, that the village chief discovered that Zhao Yifan was lying wet at the door of his house, with a bundle of hemp rope tied around his waist, tightly connected to a huge coconut tree behind him.

.

"Hey, little brother, why are you sleeping outside?"

The village chief was shocked and quickly ran out and patted Zhao Yifan.

But just as he patted Zhao Yifan's body, he suddenly exclaimed, "I'm going to strangle my own mother! Is this dehydration so serious?"

At this time, the skin on Zhao Yifan's body had become dry and cracked like a tortoise shell, and black spots appeared one after another on his skin.

The pale lips were turned outwards, and there was almost no life at all on his face.

Then, except that he was still breathing, almost everyone thought he was dead!

"Xiujuan, Xiujuan! Come out quickly!"

The village chief hugged Zhao Yifan and hurriedly took him into the house, and the woman also heard the noise and came out, complaining, "What's wrong, what's wrong, why are you shouting so early in the morning? You're asking for your life!"

However, when she saw Zhao Yifan being held by the village chief, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed, "Ah! What's going on! The baby was fine yesterday."

The village chief knew what she was going to say and scolded her directly, "You're not dead yet!"

Then he put Zhao Yifan on the bed and said, "Hurry, boil the water, this baby can't be delayed, otherwise it will be hopeless!"

Xiujuan didn't pause, and skillfully prepared a bucket and started boiling water, while the village chief slowly wiped Zhao Yifan's skin with a wet towel.

After a while, the cheers of the villagers came from outside, each one shouting "Great Harvest."

Then several fishermen quickly opened the door of the village chief's room and laughed excitedly, "Village Chief, the village chief has had a great harvest, a great harvest!"

"There are so many fish! Much more than in previous years!"

"Yes, none of the fishing nets were broken, and all the fish were caught! What a bumper harvest!"

Listening to everyone's excited and happy news, the village chief frowned and couldn't be happy.

Because he knew very well that no matter how strong their fishing nets were, they were just sharpening their guns for battle and would never survive the heavy rain that night.

And when he found Zhao Yifan this morning, there was a jar of fresh water and a large unused hemp rope beside him.

This discerning person knew what Zhao Yifan had done at a glance, and he was not a fool. He could tell at the first glance that Zhao Yifan went into the sea last night!

The village chief felt very irritated when he heard the good news outside. He couldn't help shouting, "Shut up, everyone!"

With this roar, there was suddenly no movement outside. The group of fishermen looked at each other in confusion.

But they couldn't figure it out and wanted to ask, but when they remembered the village chief's attitude just now, they didn't dare to ask, so they had to shrink their necks and leave.

"What's wrong with the village chief? Why are you so angry? Isn't it a great harvest?"

"I don't know. Maybe I have a headache after drinking too much last night?"

"Are you kidding me? Can I drink high rice wine?"

"Forget it, be happy, it's a great harvest, let's go fishing and see who among us can catch more! Hahaha!"

"Hey, don't run away, you're cheating!"

Immediately, several people threw the village chief's previous attitude into the sky, laughed and went to the sea to fish.

In the house, the hot water was boiled quickly. Xiujuan added something to the hot water, so there was something green floating on the water, and a pungent smell of Chinese medicine spread from the house.

This made the group of young people even more confused. It was just the village chief who was drunk and had a headache.
