As for Aunt Rong, she was too busy to keep her feet off the ground.
The rebuilding of the workshops destroyed by the big monster, and because the Xiao family was watching eagerly outside, they couldn't relax yet.
Therefore, everyone on the island has been in a state of tension these days, fearing that if the Xiao family really rushes in, what if they don't react?
However, there is another very important thing, which is to salvage the big monster and dry it in the sun.
After this thunderstorm, experienced old people all concluded that there would be no particularly heavy rainy days for at least half a month.
Moreover, during this season, the island is either exposed to wind and rain or exposed to constant sunlight.
Just in time to dry this big monster out in the sun.
Lin Mengya had people put the monster back into the sea before, not just to let it knock over the Xiao family's boat, but because she discovered the secret of the big monster through those specimens.
The flesh and blood of this big monster can indeed expand quickly by absorbing seawater, but at the same time, its skin will also play a protective role to prevent overfilling with seawater.
It's just like a balloon. If you fill it with seawater without limit, it will definitely burst one day.
Therefore, the skin will also play a role in blocking sea water.
But the problem is that most of the skin on the big monster's body has been destroyed. Seawater can directly contact the skin and flesh, and it will flow into it without restriction.
In this way, even if the big monster is not burst, it will sink to the bottom because the water is too heavy.
Facts proved that Lin Mengya's guess was right.
After the sea calmed down, everyone took the opportunity to fish out the monster in the sea, because Lin Mengya had previously had some ropes with barbs inserted into its head, tail and back.
Even if there is a shortage of resources on their island, ropes are definitely enough.
Lin Mengya asked them to prepare a few hundred meters, and then had some wooden stakes set on the ground.
In this way, as long as the big monster exceeds the range of the rope, it will be pulled down. It is also very convenient to fish it out of the sea afterwards, as long as the big guys work together to pull it up.
Now this big monster has been dragged to an open space in the center of the workshop. In addition to the sun above, all the fires will also take away the moisture stored in its body when it is burning.
By the time Lin Mengya finished selecting the candidates herself and wanted to go over to watch the excitement, the big monster was already half dry in the sun.
Lin Mengya was invited by Tietou and the others to go to a higher place. From here, she could see the whole picture of the big monster. Basically, everyone came here to watch the fun.
Uncle Tietou also suffered some injuries. He and Tie Xinlian were among the most skilled people on the island, so their injuries were more serious.
Lin Mengya actually admires the people on the island for this.
They all have a sense of responsibility. When danger comes, many people with strong abilities will protect those with weak abilities behind them, and people with weak abilities will not think of holding back those with strong abilities.
They all perform their duties, and even though they feel a lot of reluctance in their hearts, no one will play tricks.
Because they know very well that there is an island first and then their home. If Xuanhuo Island falls, they will no longer have their own home from now on.
Lin Mengya feels that the reason why Xuanhuo Island has been able to survive until now is not only because they have the most advanced weapons, but more importantly, their inheritance is very good.
With such education, even a hundred years later, Xuanhuo Island will still be Xuanhuo Island and not a vassal of other families.
Standing high up, Lin Mengya put her hands in front of her eyes and looked at the big monster.
This thing looks a bit like a crocodile with a longer tail, but it's actually not that similar.
As for the dragon, it is actually more like the dragon in mythology, which is a little longer.
"The big monster has a smell, Doctor Huo, isn't it poisonous?" Uncle Tietou asked worriedly.
Lin Mengya had smelled this smell a long time ago. Although it was a bit like the smell of dried salted fish, it was actually not poisonous.
After receiving her affirmative answer, Tietou and the others finally felt relieved.
"As long as it's okay, what about that, Doctor Huo, I wonder if you are free tonight?"
Uncle Tietou had a bit of embarrassment on his dark face, but he still persisted: "I said before that I would like to thank you for saving the lives of our two children, but other things always interfered with it, and I never invited you to my home.
Sit down."
"When I came out this morning, my wife said that if I delayed any longer, I might not have a chance. I wonder if you can do me a favor tonight."
Lin Mengya thought for a while and realized that she really had no plans tonight, so she readily agreed.
Tietou had a surprised smile on his face, and he immediately walked back.
"I have to tell my wife about this. If she knows that I finally invited my benefactor back, she will definitely be happy!"
Lin Mengya couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart when she saw Tietou being so happy.
Others are already used to this situation. Tietou and his wife were childhood sweethearts back then, which is extremely rare for people on Xuanhuo Island.
Although the people on their island don't favor boys over girls, I don't know if it's because they sit around the stove all year round and have excess yang energy. In short, there have always been more boys than girls on their island.
Although strong men are needed to make iron, if there are no women, they will not be able to continue the family line. Therefore, the first thing the men on Xuanhuo Island do when they reach adulthood is to go out and find a wife for themselves.
This is a very real problem. Feelings are not a necessity for them, but life is.
After they bring their daughters-in-law back, most of them will treat them well. If someone does not treat their daughter-in-law well, the people on the island will also make the decision for the daughter-in-law from outside. They can choose whether to stay or go.
Likewise, the outside population will not be able to enter the core area in a short period of time.
And once they enter the core area, those who come into contact with the biggest secret of Xuanhuo Island will also become entangled with it and cannot leave easily.
Lin Mengya felt that this arrangement was actually very reasonable.
She had seen enough and walked out of the crowd. Although everyone was afraid of squeezing her, there were many spectators who were looking forward to it and immediately joined her when they saw her coming out.
Lin Mengya felt that there was nothing to see in this excitement. After the big monster was completely dried, she could get some samples for experiments. After all, this thing was too rare.
She asked the people she selected to wait for her outside, so she walked for a while and left the workshop directly.
At this time, many people wanted to have lunch.
Originally, there was a big pot of rice in the workshop, but because time is so busy now, there is no time to transport a lot of supplies, so everyone asks their family members to send some food over.
This situation cannot last for a few days. Once the workshop is rebuilt, everything will return to normal.
But when Lin Mengya passed by, her eyebrows moved slightly, and then her eyes calmly shifted to one of the people.
That was a little daughter-in-law who looked extremely frail.
Her clothes were very simple, and she didn't even dare to raise her eyes when looking at people. Instead, she lowered her head, looking respectful and timid.
This person's appearance is not conspicuous in the crowd. Everyone is basically dressed like this, but the demeanor of others is somewhat different from his.
The strong man standing in front of him had a fierce look on his face. It looked like he could make this little wife cry at any time, and maybe even punch her twice in a domestic violence manner.
However, things should not be taken at face value. Lin Mengya slowed down her steps, seemingly waiting for someone, but in fact her ears were listening to the sounds coming from over there.
The man said with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Didn't I say you don't need to send it to me? Anyway, my elder brother and sister-in-law can bring me a bite by the way. You are in poor health and should rest at home."
The man said in a buzzing voice, because his voice was thicker and his appearance was relatively fierce, so he didn't look like a good person, but in fact, his tone contained concern for women.
When the young daughter-in-law heard this, her head dropped even lower, and she said in a trembling voice: "Mr. husband, do you dislike me? I know it's all my fault. It would be great if I could keep this child."
As she said this, she sobbed softly and started to cry. A hint of confusion flashed in the man's eyes, but it was more of helplessness.
"I've told you so many times that I don't blame you for this. We will have children in the future. The most important thing is that you take good care of yourself first."
But the woman seemed unable to listen to his words, and kept sobbing and telling her guilt. The man had never seen such a scene before, and he didn't know how to coax anyone.
Although at home, he had already told this woman that he would not blame her if the child was gone. After all, they were still young now and would have many opportunities in the future.
But I don't know if this woman is out of her mind or something else, but it seems like she can't listen to what he says, and she keeps crying to him over and over again over these little things every day.
"Okay! Can you stop crying? Do you know that it annoys others when they cry like this?"
The man suddenly became very angry and roared. The woman immediately seemed to be frightened and her voice became even lower.
People around were not surprised to see this scene. After all, this situation had been going on for two full years since this woman came to the island.
At the beginning, everyone would try to persuade her, but later they realized that some things could not be blamed only on the men in her family.
Because if anyone tries to persuade her, this woman will cry to whomever she wants, until she is so upset that she wants to strangle her to death.
Everyone on their island has their own work to do, who has the time to coax her? The woman sobbed and wanted to say something, but she got another roar from the man.
