As usual, Chen Shicai relied on experience and quickly found a sea area rich in fish. In a short time, his small fishing boat was filled to the brim.
Full of joy, he subconsciously dropped a few floats to mark the sea area, thinking that he could come back more often while the floats were effective.
A warehouse full of fish can at least provide a lot of daily necessities for the family. If there are a few more warehouses full, then this year's daily necessities should be enough.
Thinking like this, even though the weather seemed not very good, his mood was sunny, he hummed a little tune and hurried home slowly.
But as he rowed, he felt something was wrong.
He clearly remembered that the direction of the island was in the west, which was exactly opposite to the center of the storm, and his direction was definitely correct.
But why did the further I walked, the closer I got to the center of the storm? Not only that, according to the past speed, I should be able to see the island by this time, but looking around, I still saw a vast expanse of water. Apart from sea water or sea water, I couldn't see it at all.
There is no trace of any small island.
be lost!
This was Chen Shicai's first idea, but he quickly rejected it.
Originally, this sea area was not far from the island, and he was very efficient, so it was impossible for him to get lost. He had been at sea for many years, and if he didn't even have this little confidence, he would just pretend to be the first fishing village in the sea.
One person.
But the fact was right in front of him. If he went further, he would have to face the storm on the sea, so he had to forcefully go back, and at the same time, a strange thought came to his mind.
What the hell? No way!
People who have been fishing at sea for many years are more or less superstitious, because once you reach the sea, your life or death is not determined by you. The sea is calm one second, and it is very likely to cause strong winds and huge waves the next second.
And this is the biggest nightmare for fishermen who go to sea.
The rain had already hit him, and the sea was calm just now. After a while, Chen Shicai had to row hard while scooping the excess water out of the cabin, and even had to be ruthless to throw away some of his catch.
reduce weight.
While losing it, he was still heartbroken.
That’s all money!
But in order to survive, this is what we have to do.
Just when the situation was extremely urgent, he seemed to hear a strange cry that was completely unlike a human being, nor any sea creature he had ever seen. What was even stranger was that the sound seemed to linger.
No matter how far away you are, you can still feel it lingering in your mind for a long time.
After that, I don’t know whether it was because of his good luck or what, but in the end, he miraculously escaped from the stormy sea. Looking back at the doomsday-like scene in the distance, Chen Shicai breathed a sigh of relief and started looking for his way back again.
The way home.
However, he would not have thought that this seemingly lucky escape from death would turn out to be a lingering nightmare for him and even the following generations of the Chen family.
"What's going on?" Li Yi was getting excited when he heard that Chen Youle suddenly lost his voice. He couldn't help but look curiously, only to find that Chen Youle was looking around in fear, mumbling some unintelligible words.
.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"He, he's coming."
"Who's coming?"
Chen Youle's next words shocked Li Yi.
"That's him! He was the one my grandfather met at sea back then!"
...
At this time, all the villagers on the island are waiting for Yaksha's return.
Since the invention of the method of fishing using Yasha stone statues, the villagers on the island no longer take huge risks to go fishing. Even if they sell their catch, they prefer to have someone come to the island to buy it instead of going ashore themselves.
In just a few years, the islanders, who were originally strong and healthy, all became potbellied, like pregnant women. They looked less like islanders and more like idle people with nothing to do.
But this is indeed the case.
However, among this group of fat people, there is one person who looks very different.
He has dark skin and does not look very strong, but his brows reveal endless confidence. Logically speaking, if such a different-looking person appears next to a group of fat people, it will more or less attract everyone's attention.
But the strange thing is that this person, who is much better in shape than the people of the archipelago, did not attract anyone's attention. Even when they passed by him, they seemed not to see this person at all. It seemed that this person was not there at all.
There is no general.
While he was enjoying the scene in front of him with great interest, someone suddenly said something.
"looks good?"
A young man, who looked very energetic, squatted next to the dark-skinned man, looked into the distance, and said this as if inadvertently, but it aroused the man's curiosity.
"Can you see me?"
Hearing this, Li Yi was surprised and looked at him up and down: "What else?"
This immediately aroused the man's interest: "You can actually see me. For more than a hundred years, I thought no one in the world could see me! I didn't expect that there are still some."
"This is nothing strange. By the way, what do you call me? Should I call you Brother Turtle? Or Brother Island?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man's expression changed: "Do you know who I am?"
"I guess so. After all, there are a lot of clues. If I still can't guess your identity, it's all in vain."
The dark-skinned man did not speak, but continued to look into the distance, where the villagers on the entire island were eagerly waiting, completely ignoring the island where they had lived for hundreds of years.
"Don't you feel aggrieved? The fact that these people survived is obviously due to you, but they thought it was the sea yaksha and even made a stone statue of him." Looking at the man's expression of neither joy nor sadness, Li
I couldn't help but ask one more question.
"Is it important?"
"It depends on what you think. If it were me, I would feel that these people's consciences have been eaten by dogs." Li Yi expressed his thoughts bluntly.
"I don't think it matters. After all, in my opinion, human lifespan is very short. Maybe if I just take a nap, most of the people on the island will disappear."
"That's true, but that Yaksha..."
"These are all trivial matters, they don't matter. In contrast, I want to know more, who are you?" The man interrupted Li Yi's words with a wave of his hand, staring at him with an interesting expression, as if the person in front of him was not a person.
, but a treasure that he is very interested in.
Li Yi felt uncomfortable looking at him, and there was still some irresistible hostility.
After all, being attacked by an old turtle who had lived for who knows how many years, whose consciousness could be transformed into a human form, and whose strength was beyond the sky, even though the other party did not seem to be hostile, was enough to make him uneasy.
After finally suppressing the uneasiness in my heart, I smiled at the old turtle.
