"It seems like there's no name for this place yet, right?" the confused girl said while taking pictures.
I said awkwardly: "Yes, it's called Beacon Tower!" When you open the mini map, you will see such a name.
"This name is so tacky! Such a beautiful place should have a very poetic name!" the distraught girl said to herself, then twisted her mouth and thought hard, and finally her eyes lit up, "Yes, let's call it
, how about the Lover’s Station?”
I feel ashamed. After such a change, the beacon tower suddenly became a place for lovers to have a romantic tryst...I don't want to say it was a small bamboo forest in the university!
"I think it's called the sea viewing platform. It's adjacent to the Jieshi to the east to view the sea. You see there's a stone here. You could just lean on it and look at the sea. It's so impressive!" I said hehely.
"Hey! Then it's called Guanhaitai. Can we change the name of the place?" The confused girl finally asked speechlessly.
I shook my head. No matter what we call it, the system gives it the name Beacon Tower. There is really nothing we can do about it.
Just like the student street near Yunhai University, although we are all accustomed to calling it student street, in fact, in the Yunhai map, it also has a very official name - Longmen 1st Lane, but not many people remember that this name is true
.
Although the name cannot be changed, it is still possible to carve a few words on this protruding stone wall, such as "So-and-so came here for a visit!" I was holding the purple lightning and was about to write on the stone wall with flying colors.
When writing my gorgeous handwriting:
"Someone's coming up!" The confused girl suddenly pointed at our feet and shouted.
I followed the direction she indicated and looked down, and sure enough I saw a woman wearing a light blue top and gray skirt, wearing a floral apron and carrying a small basket, slowly climbing up the steps.
"It's an NPC!" She shouted a little strangely, "The terrain here is so high, what is this NPC doing here?"
When the woman NPC went up to the beacon tower, she was slightly stunned when she saw me and the distraught girl. She nodded towards us with a sad face, then bent her knees slightly and said, "My lord, Baron!"
I was also stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.
Still upset, the girl nudged me with her elbow and said, "I'm calling you!"
Only then did I realize it, and I didn’t know what to say. After all, I had never learned the etiquette of the palace, so I could only simply nod in greeting and said: "Why did you come to a place like this?"
The civilian woman may have misunderstood what I meant. She seemed a little at a loss and said with a slightly panicked look in her eyes: "I know you can't just come to this place! I didn't mean to, I was just waiting for my husband..."
I was a little confused and asked: "Here? Waiting for your husband?" After that, I looked at the confused girl and said: You were right, this is really a place for lovers to meet.
She stuck out her tongue playfully at me.
"Yes! I'm waiting for my husband! Three days ago, he went fishing alone, but he hasn't come back yet! As a woman, I don't know how to row a boat to find him, so I can only run here and look out.
I'm walking to the seaside, hoping to see his returning ship!" The woman said with a hint of sadness, still looking sad.
"Ah, your husband hasn't come back after three days at sea?" The confused girl asked in surprise, "Well, it's nothing, right? When my father went to sea before, he didn't come back for ten days and a half or even several months. This is normal.
ah!"
I hurriedly grabbed the upset girl and winked at her.
The woman continued: "You don't understand, small fishing boats like ours can catch some fish offshore. He used to go out before dawn and come back in the evening, but three days ago he went out to sea
He never came back after that. I'm worried..." The woman said, sobbing, "He must be..."
The distraught girl was surprised and put away her indifferent expression, and asked with a worried look: "Could it be that the boat broke down and we were delayed on the way?"
I'm dizzy. Thanks to your ability to think of it, you thought it was a car? If it breaks down, you can still wait for a tow truck on the road. If the fishing boat cannot return on time, there is only one possibility, and that is that something happened. Of course, we don't know what happened.
But something must have happened.
The woman was so sad that she could not speak. I quickly grabbed the distraught girl and asked, "Are there other people or ships who went to sea with him? Are they coming back?"
The folk woman shook her head sadly: "I don't know! I haven't heard him mention it, who else went to sea with him!"
I asked suspiciously: "Does he usually go fishing alone?"
The woman shook her head and said, "No! There were two other sailors! But he was the only one who went to sea that morning..."
I continued to ask suspiciously: "Why didn't he take the two sailors with him that morning and went out to sea alone?" This is contrary to common sense. No matter how small the fishing boat is, it still needs people to operate it. It is difficult for one person to do it.
It's so big that sometimes even if you don't have enough strength, you may not be able to put it away, let alone fish it out.
The smallest fishing boat should have three people, which is almost the lowest configuration. The slightly larger fishing boats only have seven or eight people.
"This..." When I pressed the question, the woman was at a loss for an answer. She probably didn't understand herself and said, "I asked the cats and dogs, but they said that my husband was married to them the day before he went to sea.
The wages also said that they would have a day off the next day, so they didn’t go to sea with my husband.”
"Could it be that those two sailors were so selfish that they killed your husband and then robbed your ship?" the confused girl said with interest.
The woman was surprised and said, "Ah!" After hearing this, she became even more sad!
I was dizzy, so I hurriedly grabbed the confused girl and said, "You'd better stop making blind guesses! Look, my sister-in-law is scared to tears by you!"
The confused girl shrugged her shoulders sheepishly and retreated to the back.
This is indeed very strange. If she is not lying, the husband of the peasant woman is obviously sending away the two men and then going to sea alone!
Could it be that he was not going fishing but... treasure hunting?
"Then has he had any unusual behavior recently?" I continued to ask, with my plan already 70-80% certain, "For example, has he made any unexpected discoveries or something?"
The woman shook her head at first, and finally she seemed to remember something and said in surprise: "I remembered it! Just five days ago, when I was cleaning at home, I accidentally found a book among the books left by my father-in-law.
A shabby map! My husband thought it was a treasure map, and he even mentioned to me that he wanted to go to sea to find this treasure! I scolded him at the time, saying that he was just wishful thinking and daydreaming. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, he still...
…”
The confused girl covered her mouth in surprise and looked at me and then at the woman. She might want to say something, but she didn’t dare to say it!
I smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it! It's a shame to hold it back!"
The distraught girl breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Treasure map! Brother Lin San, let's go treasure hunting too, and help this sister-in-law find her husband, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
