"What a beautiful scenery of a seaside fishing village. It would be a pity to miss it." Murong Xiaotian lightly knocked on the heel of his foot. Niyuan Beast lay down. Mingxin sitting in front and Kuangzhan sitting behind him both had expressions on their faces. Excitedly, I got off the Niyuan beast.
"The country is picturesque. What a beautiful scenery." Mingxin and Kuangzhan couldn't help but admire it.
Murong Xiaotian collected his mount and then used the hero teleportation function to pull Ling'er over. He went out on an adventure. Ling'er could not be left out.
"Let's go. Let's go to the beach first." Murong Xiaotian greeted a few people and walked towards the beach first.
The blue sky, blue sea, rolling waves, and sea breeze blowing. Walking on the beach makes people feel relaxed and happy.
"Brother, it would be great if a seaside resort could be built here." Mingxin and Ling'er said excitedly while picking up shells on the beach.
"Yes, yes. Brother Tian, build a seaside bathing beach and let me manage it. Enjoy the beauty's body every day. Gah, it's so cool." Kuizhan laughed wildly.
"I despise you." Ming Xin and Ling'er simultaneously extended their middle fingers to Kuang Zhan.
"You kid, please don't be so fanciful. You think this area belongs to your family. Just bring it." Murong Xiaotian smiled and shook his head. Then he pointed to the seaside at the southern end of Yujia Village in front and said, "It's nice there. It looks like a big boat. Let’s go and take a look.”
Several people ran towards there. When they arrived, it turned out to be a very big boat on the beach. Murong Xiaotian's eyes lit up when he saw the boat. The boat was twenty or thirty meters high. It is nearly a hundred meters long. It is somewhat worn and not very complete. But it can be clearly seen that it is an ocean-going ship, not an ordinary fishing boat. It should be the ocean-going ship salvaged by the head of the Yujia Village mentioned by the NPC in the Mercenary Union. of the wreckage.
The location here is already at the south entrance of Yujia Village. Here, you can already see a lot of NPC villagers from Yujia Village coming in and out, as well as a few small fishing boats coming in and out of the seaside. Some of these NPC villagers They were mending nets and some were repairing ships. They seemed to be very friendly to the players. Some even smiled and nodded at Murong Xiaotian and the others.
It is very rare to see players coming out of the end here. Murong Xiaotian and the others saw few along the way. After all, it is the early stage of the game. Almost everyone is busy leveling up in the monster distribution areas around the major cities. Get equipment. No one wants to waste a few days running here.
"Let's go find the village chief." Murong Xiaotian waved to a few people. Murong Xiaotian took a fancy to this big ship at a glance. If he could get it, he would repair it and go out to sea for a spin. .That would be very popular.
After asking a few enthusiastic NPC villagers, I easily found the home of Uncle Luke, the village leader of the Fisherman Village.
"Excuse me, is Uncle Luke at home?" Murong Xiaotian knocked on the door and asked loudly.
"Who is it? The door is unlocked. Come in." A man's voice came from inside. There was a little melancholy in his tone.
"It seems that Uncle Luke's trouble has not been solved yet. There is still work to be done on this task." Murong Xiaotian heard the helplessness in Uncle Luke's tone and secretly smiled. At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that this task would be taken over. The other players have done it, and my journey has been in vain.
Murong Xiaotian pushed the door open and Kuizhan and the others walked in. They saw a man in his fifties sitting at the table, with his head propped up on his hands and a melancholy look on his face. The furnishings in the room were simple and ordinary. It's no different from an ordinary fisherman's home. But it's very clean and tidy.
"What do you want from me?" Village Chief Luke stood up when he saw someone coming in. He looked at Murong Xiaotian and the others with a puzzled look on his face.
"I heard that uncle has been in some trouble recently. I wonder if we can help." Murong Xiaotian went straight to the point and simply did it.
"Hey, it's been so many days. I'm afraid there's no hope left." Uncle Luke lamented, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Uncle, don't be sad first. Let's talk about what happened. We will find a way to help you solve it." Murong Xiaotian hurriedly pulled Uncle Luke to sit down.
"Yes, uncle. Just talk about it. There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome." Kuizhan. Mingxin and the others were also infected by Luke Dashu's emotions.
"Okay." Uncle Luke nodded. There was endless sadness in his eyes: "My son Lu Xiaobao disappeared more than ten days ago. Hey, I only have such a son. Xiaobao's mother died when he was one year old. He passed away. I worked hard to bring him up and depended on him for life. But now, hey, how can I live like this?" Uncle Luke said, bursting into tears again.
Murong Xiaotian and the others began to sympathize with Uncle Luke. The greatest pain in life is the loss of his father when he was young, the loss of his wife when he was middle-aged, and the loss of his son when he was old. This Uncle Luke lost his wife in middle-age and encountered such a thing again when he was old. .It’s indeed pitiful.
"Uncle, don't worry. We will definitely find your son. Brother Tian, let's go. Now go help uncle find his son." Kuai Zhan waved his hands and shouted. This girl was completely moved by the old village chief.
"Ouch. Brother Tian, why are you stepping on me?"
Murong Xiaotian took advantage of Uncle Luke not paying attention and stomped on Kuang Zhan's feet. At the same time, he secretly cursed in his heart: "You idiot Kuang Zhan. I haven't even negotiated the terms yet. Why don't you act like Lei Feng?" Here you go. If things get messed up, let me see how I deal with you later."
"What's wrong with this kid?" Uncle Luke finally came back to his senses from his grief. It seemed that he didn't pay attention to Kui Zhan's words or Murong Xiaotian's actions. He looked up and saw Kui Zhan covering his toes with a painful look on his face. He couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Oh. It's nothing. My brother has a foot problem again." Murong Xiaotian replied quickly. At the same time, he glared at Kuang Zhan fiercely. Kuang Zhan was so frightened that he swallowed what he just wanted to say.
"Uncle, haven't you got any news or clues after so many days?" Mingxin asked at this time.
"No. Not at all." Village Chief Luke shook his head helplessly.
"Well, uncle, leave this matter to us." Murong Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, "I'll just tell you the truth. I heard that the big ship on the beach belongs to you. If I help If you find your son back, I hope to get the boat. Of course. If you can't find it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"If you can really help me find my little treasure, let alone a broken boat, no matter what, as long as I can do it, I will promise you." Uncle Luke looked excited and said without hesitation. .
"Okay. In this case, without further ado, we will go and help you find Xiaobao. Uncle, I'll take my leave now." Seeing that his goal was achieved, Murong Xiaotian greeted Uncle Luke and left the village with Kuai Zhan and the others. eldest family.
As soon as they left the village chief's house, Murong Xiaotian kicked Kuang Zhan hard on the butt: "You really can be a good person. You don't even need any reward. You want to be a voluntary laborer, so don't drag us into this."
"Don't I think the village chief is pitiful?" Kuizhan covered his butt with a look of grievance.
"It's not like we don't want to help him, but we can help him. We still need mission rewards. Why did we travel for two or three days to get here? Isn't your brain rusty?" Murong Xiaotian said angrily.
"Hehe. Didn't I forget all about this when I got excited?" Kuezhan said in an embarrassed and naive tone.
Ming Xin and Ling'er both pursed their lips and laughed.
After several people discussed it, Murong Xiaotian and the others began to walk towards the north entrance of Yujia Village. They realized that Lu Xiaobao was probably no longer in the village. If he was still there, it was impossible for the village chief Luke to have no clue at all. Of course, we can also rule out the possibility of Lu Xiaobao being killed. If that were the case, the system would not arrange such a task.
Therefore, after analysis by Murong Xiaotian and others, they believe that there are only two possibilities. The first is that Lu Xiaobao left the Yujia Village on his own. The second is that he was kidnapped and left the Yujia Village. Regardless of the reason, no There are two easy ways to go. One is to go north to the interior of the mainland, and the other is to go south to the sea. Therefore, Murong Xiaotian and the others decided to go to the northern village first to look for clues.
Next to the intersection of the village in the north, there is a roadside beach shop with a pergola. There are a few tables and chairs under it. A burst of aroma comes from the wooden house next to it. The smoke from the kitchen on the roof of the house is blown by the breeze. The wind blows.
"Well, it's fish balls. I didn't expect the fish balls in the game to smell so delicious." Ming Xin has a very sharp nose.
"Boss, here are four bowls of fish balls." Murong Xiaotian called out as soon as he reached the front. At the same time, he and Kuizhan, Mingxin, and Ling'er found a table and sat down.
"Here we come." Following the voice, an NPC in his mid-twenties with Wu San's name on his head came out carrying a tray with four bowls of fish balls on it.
"Shopkeeper Wu, the people in your Yujia Village are very kind and amiable because of their simple folk customs." Murong Xiaotian said with a smile while taking the fish balls brought over by Wu San.
"Of course. Our fellow villagers in Yujia Village have been very harmonious for decades."
"But I heard that Uncle Luke's son disappeared recently, right?" Murong Xiaotian ate fish balls and introduced the topic intentionally or unintentionally. At the same time, he smiled and waved, indicating Wu San to sit down and talk.
