We took a landing craft and set off for the island. Before we got close to the island, we heard a terrifying roar. The source turned out to be the destination island. It was accompanied by a sharp and loud roar that struck a giant drum in the sky. The lingering sound lingered from
During the ten minutes that the landing craft was advancing, Jie Xin had to cover her ears when she heard it, or use dark magic to block the air in her ears.
"Wuyue, can you analyze where these sounds originate from on the island?"
"Okay, sister Yue'er, activate the satellite reconnaissance system."
"receive!"
There were eerie whistling sounds lingering in my ears. It was already afternoon time, but I could feel such a terrifying atmosphere before it got dark. Ye Minglu couldn't help but want to find out what was causing these sounds.
Ask Wuyue, she is more capable of handling this kind of thing, so Luna can survey the terrain and even investigate the cause.
"I found it. Due to the large number of mineral elements, after the mine is mined, the caves left behind will produce this phenomenon with the flow of air. Minglu, your guess is indeed correct. Ninety percent of the pirates' belongings are
Nine was taken from the island.”
"I understand, thank you, Wuyue!"
Various factors have shown that if pirates have plundered the mineral resources belonging to the island, they will not be the ones doing the mining. No one is stupid enough to work hard at mining, and it is full of dangers.
There is only one possibility: the island residents are forced to exploit mineral resources, and pirates can do anything.
Approaching the island, you can vaguely see the village from a distance. The dense forest behind the village is blown to and fro by the howling mine wind. The area is large and the terrain is high. It is indeed very suitable for living.
The landing craft slowly approached the coast. The village was just two hundred meters ahead. You could clearly see that the village was dilapidated and the houses were all built with wooden piles. The wooden sign at the village gate was crooked.
After landing on the shore, the landing craft is parked aside and locked with a password. No one can start it unless there is a password.
Modi put the monitor on his shoulder, allowing the Luna to see the situation on the island more clearly. Jue Xin and Ye Minglu were at the forefront. If there was danger, Jue Xin's induction could quickly defend him.
"It seems that my guess is correct. There are indeed people living here, and the eerie wind comes from the mountain behind the village."
"Looking at the heavy pace on the ground and the signs of ships docking on the coast, it is obvious that the pirates carried boxes of property onto the ship and then left. It just happened to be sunk by us."
The footprints left on the messy sand and stones on the ground are too deep. Modi is right. After analyzing various things, it is very likely that this is the case. The other surrounding islands seem to be uninhabited and small.
They are all floating islands, and it is unknown which day they will sink.
Not only did the three people on Yeming Road witness the mess in the village, but the potholes and bullet casings were scattered everywhere. It seemed that for some time, the villagers had closed their doors tightly, and every household seemed to have seen a ghost, with expressions of gloom, nervousness and fear.
.
"Is this...a village...?"
"It's so scary..."
Seeing the real-time video sent back by Modi in the Luna, Wuyue couldn't help but cover her mouth. Emily's little hands were tightly clasped in front of her chest, and her worried look was fully expressed on her cute little face.
The roaring sound created a messy village, which indeed gave people a scary atmosphere. The village only had one well, which should be underground water under the island. In this way, the village could indeed be built here.
However, in today's era, with advanced technology and communication, villagers can build better houses here by their own abilities and live on beautiful islands even here.
You must know that today's islands do not have as much road traffic as cities, and they have lush green forests, beaches that are better for swimming, and resorts can be built.
"Ming Lu, why are they avoiding us?"
Jie Xin stared blankly at the villagers who were peeking through the cracks in the house. When his eyes met theirs, the villagers hurriedly avoided looking.
"The villagers who are being persecuted will be afraid of outside things. They will first reject all outsiders. For them, we are in the observation stage, because we don't know whether we are good or bad yet."
He explained to her in his heart that Ye Minglu was in a low mood. He thought that he was lonely enough. In the past, he lived alone and lived alone. Unexpectedly, when he came here, he felt a greater loneliness.
pain.
It can be seen at a glance that they don't have enough food, housing or warmth. First of all, the mines are being mined, which causes the howling wind to change with the temperature. On the one hand, they don't eat well, and on the other hand, the wind blows, so they are naturally too thin to bear it.
"Jiexin wants to help them."
"Modi and I both have the same idea. It's rare that you also think about them. I'm very happy."
"Ming Lu, let's go and prove that we are not pirates or bad people first!"
In the current embarrassing situation, Modi made a suggestion. This is not the way to go. If you want to know more about the situation in the village, you must ask it yourself.
"good!"
"Ming Lu, you have to be careful, I'm afraid the villagers will fight back."
In the Moon Goddess, Wuyue quickly warned with concern that when in contact with outsiders, especially people who have been violated, they are more likely to be irritable and resist in order to preserve themselves.
"Yes, I will. Yue Xin, please use a common language for me. We should be able to communicate in English here!"
Ye Minglu only knows a little bit of English, and Chinese will definitely not work here. He can only rely on Jie Xin's magic to adjust the language difference.
Jie Xin put a small hand on Ye Minglu's back and whispered magic spells in her mouth.
--Using my spirit of darkness as my medium, the words that transform all things!
--Language conversion, let's set it up!
In an instant, a purple six-pointed star array was built behind Yeming Road. In order not to be noticed by the villagers, Jie Xin chose to do it close to his back.
A simple magic spell appeared, and a strange aura spread throughout Ye Minglu's body. After the bangs on his forehead fluttered, he felt that although there was no change, he was actually able to communicate with the outside world in a language he did not share.
"Let's go try it!"
"Be careful."
Ye Minglu nodded to Modi, and then he and Jie Xin approached a simple wooden house. There was some dry food next to the wooden house. Corn and chestnuts were hung in front of the house. They were some grains, not much, only a few.
Root, if you let Jie Xin eat it, you will definitely not be full.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong!"
"Hello, we are not pirates. Tourists who happen to be docked on the shore suddenly take the liberty to come and have a look. Please don't be afraid!"
Ye Minglu lowered his voice as much as possible so that his voice was not loud at all, and used a gentle questioning tone.
"We are here to help you."
Jie Xin also said something at this time. Although she had no expression, she directly stated the reason. Indeed, they wanted to help the villagers, but they were not tactful at all, which was really like Jie Xin's style.
After a long time, the villagers who had closed the door of the house tightly asked a question.
"You are really not pirates? Will you hurt us?"
Modi and Ye Minglu looked at each other and felt that the question asked by this villager was a bit ridiculous. If he were a bad person, would he say that he was a bad person? However, being naive and not knowing how to confirm is helpless. After all, this place is too far away from the outside world.
, they have no way to get out by ship, and there are pirates monitoring them, so getting out to the outside world is still a problem.
"Look, we don't have any weapons on us, how can we hurt you!"
Ye Minglu and Modi walked around and said that they did not bring any weapons, and that the dagger was stored tightly so that it would not be discovered, and that the dagger was only used for self-defense in emergencies.
The villager looked carefully and opened the door hesitantly, still looking a little scared. Behind him, there were two children, one boy and one girl. They were the same size as Emily and Juxin. The only difference was that they were skinny.
Ruchai seemed to be too thin from hunger.
"Hello!"
Ye Minglu squatted down and looked at the two children behind the villagers with a smile. Their skin color was slightly brown, but judging from the structure of their facial bones, if they could eat well and take good care of themselves, they would definitely be handsome boys in the future.
Beauty level, but due to the crazy plundering and occupation by pirates, they had no enough food to eat and no warmth to live in, so there was no way to achieve it.
The house was even more shabby, with only a straw mat spread on the ground. The three of them slept together like that. Even the quilts and other things were covered with the extra space of the straw mat. The ground was dry soil, and there was no complete furniture.
, there is only a small wooden stool. The wooden stool is just a piece of wood fixed with wooden pegs.
When the two children saw Ye Minglu, they wanted to get close to him, but they were afraid. They grabbed the hem of the village man's clothes and did not dare to come forward.
"No problem!"
Jie Xin said a simple sentence and showed a kind but not very obvious smile again, but it was very gentle. As a petite and cute Jie Xin, there was an invisible attraction between them despite their similar size.
Although the two children were a little timid when they saw Jie Xin, Jie Xin's little hand gently moved them, indicating that it was okay for them to approach.
The boy and the girl actually walked up to Yue Xin obediently, and she didn't mind that the boy and the girl were dirty. The invisible lavender magic on their hands was cleaning away the dirt while touching their heads.
"Sorry, we misunderstood you."
The male villager looked at Jie Xin's kind touch on the child's head, and he bowed down apologetically to Ye Minglu and Modi. Previously, they thought they were pirates and wanted to exploit them.
"It's okay. We just happened to be here, so we came to take a look. I didn't expect you to be so vigilant. Did something happen? I heard you talk about pirates. Could it be that they..."
Ye Minglu no longer has any doubts, because from the man's mouth, he can get the ironclad fact that the pirates have indeed been here. As for what happened next, he knows more or less without thinking about it.
.............
After coming out of the villagers' houses, when the man named Akela explained the situation to more than 200 villagers in the village, everyone was no longer afraid and opened the house and walked out. Most of them were sparsely dressed and skinny villagers. There were several
Ten, some of the stronger ones are about the same as Ye Minglu. I am afraid that the young and powerful jobs should be given to those who can move!
"Villagers, these people are not the pirates we imagined, and they will not plunder our resources. I, Akela, guarantee this."
For some reason, Akela decided to trust outsiders such as Ye Minglu and Modi since the moment he treated Jiexin enthusiastically. But he would rather believe this. They don't have many things that can be plundered. If they want money,
We can only go to the mine again.
"Akra, what is their purpose in coming to us? If they are asking for food, we won't be able to have enough to eat ourselves."
"Yes, it's okay if we don't have enough to eat, but these children, there are..."
"Moreover, those people will come back. They don't belong to us. It's better to leave early to avoid suffering."
Listening to the villagers' speeches, how could Akela not understand that his children had been hungry for a long time, and the mother of the children was...
"Mr. Akela, please don't be sad. If you have anything, you can tell us. Maybe we can help you."
Accra was dejected, so Modi stepped forward and volunteered. This is what they came here to do. As for begging for food, the villagers were not full, so he did not want to ask for it.
"Oh, forget it, the three of you can't fight those people. Otherwise, we used to have hundreds of strong men, how could we still be here?"
Those people should be pirates. The difference in weapons is not to mention that there are more than just a few dozen pirates. They can even form an army of hundreds of people. Of course, they are well-armed.
"We are very powerful!"
Jie Xin spoke openly and directly, but how could the villagers believe that the three outsiders had such strength? They were afraid that they might become prisoners more easily here. Moreover, they were dressed gorgeously and looked more like rich and powerful people in the outside world.
"It's getting late. If you don't mind, just stay here for one night! I'll get you some food, not much, but don't be offended."
Akela ignored Jie Xin's words. He knew that Jie Xin was very kind, but the other party was too scary. They didn't dare to anger each other. Now that they came here, they must be looking for a place to stay. As for food, he would find some later.
Come back.
Even though the villagers are living a life of starvation, food is controlled and there is very little. They can only squeeze out a little, otherwise the villagers will not be so thin.
"Please rest assured, I am Wuyue. I am talking to you from more than ten seas away at this moment. We will help you get through this difficult time."
The villagers suddenly heard another girl's voice and were suddenly shocked. They looked at the monitor on Modi's shoulder and could hear other voices.
"This is...."
Akela became confused and heard the girl talking about talking to them from more than ten seas away, so Ye Minglu and others were by no means just three people.
"Mr. Akela, our abilities are not as simple as you see. Our main purpose here is to help you."
Ye Minglu smiled slightly. With Wuyue's character, he definitely didn't want to see the villagers suffering innocently. His kind heart was bleeding, so he would naturally want to save them without hesitation.
