Zhou Tian and Feini were sitting in the cabin, feeling a lot more at ease in their hearts.
Especially Fini, she is not worried at all now.
But Zhou Tian was still very worried. There was no news about Wu Jiu, and he didn't know what was going on with Black Eagle and Black Toad, and whether he would be with Wu Jiu.
Zhou Tian took out his mobile phone. He estimated that the mobile phone was useless. If it had been soaked in water for so long, any mobile phone would be destroyed.
I tried to light up the screen, but sure enough, it couldn't light up anymore. The phone was flooded and burned out.
The only way to contact Wujiu was gone, and Zhou Tian was helpless at the moment.
About half an hour later, the boat finally docked.
"Boy, girl, you two can get off the boat."
The old man jumped onto the shore first, tied the boat with a rope, and tied the other end to a big tree on the river bank.
Zhou Tian took Feini off the boat. Just when he was about to thank this kind old man, he heard the old man say: "Young man, you are both wet. Why don't you go to the old man's house and stay for one night? Your clothes will be dry tomorrow morning."
, you leave again.”
Zhou Tian was still very moved after hearing this. From his observation of his words, he could tell that this old man was a quite simple person, not the kind of person who wanted to do evil things.
"Thank you so much, old man, for causing you any trouble."
Zhou Tian said gratefully.
"You're welcome. It's not easy to be away from home. Just come with me. My home is not far away."
After the old man finished speaking, he took Zhou Tian and Feini and walked forward.
"Old man, how big is this lake?"
Zhou Tian asked curiously as he walked.
"Haha, this lake is very big. It stretches seven or eight miles from east to west, and four or five miles from north to south. How did you get to the middle of the lake?"
The old man chuckled and asked Zhou Tiandao.
Zhou Tian was a little unable to answer, it would be a long story.
Moreover, no one would believe what I had just experienced.
After fussing for a long time, the life-saving island in the lake turned out to be the very center of the lake.
If they hadn't met this old man, it would have been even more difficult for him and Feini to escape.
"We encountered some accidents and were trapped on the island in the center of the lake."
Zhou Tian said casually.
"Hey, you are too brave. You dare to play in the lake. If you encounter a monster, how can you survive?"
The old man said with emotion.
Zhou Tian was surprised when he heard this. It seemed that this old man also knew that there was a monster in the lake.
Not only are there monsters in the lake, there are many monsters in the underground space connected to the lake.
Zhou Tian was thinking about this, but he didn't say much and followed the old man forward.
Not long after, the old man took Zhou Tian and Feini to a small mountain village.
It is called a mountain village because this village is located at the foot of a mountain. Of course, this mountain is just an ordinary mountain, not the snow-capped mountains in the north.
There were less than twenty households in the small mountain village. It was already very late, so there were not many people on the road.
The old man took Zhou Tian and Feini along the village road to a small fenced yard near the second house on the east side.
"This is my home, old man. You city dwellers are delicate, so don't think I'm poor here."
The old man smiled mockingly to himself.
"What did you say, old man? You are our savior. How can we dislike you?"
Zhou Tian said quickly.
"Haha, I can't talk about my savior. You don't have to be polite to me, young man. Just follow me into the hospital."
The old man chuckled, and then led Zhou Tian and Feini into the small courtyard.
There are two small adobe houses in the yard. It is difficult to see such simple adobe houses in the hot summer.
The three of them walked into one of the adobe houses. Zhou Tian took a look and found that the house was too simple, with not even a single household appliance.
Moreover, this small mountain village has no electricity and is very primitive and backward.
There is only one big wooden bed, which is purely handmade. It should be made by the old man himself. It is very rough.
There is also a simple wardrobe, which I also made myself without even painting.
"The house is a bit broken, you should deal with it for a while."
The old man smiled awkwardly and said.
"Old man, don't be too polite. I have some money on me, but it's all soaked in water. I should be able to spend it after it dries. You take it first."
Zhou Tian said as he took out a stack of money from his pocket, about ten thousand yuan, but it was already very soft.
"No, no, how can I ask for your money? It's fate that I met you. I should save you."
The old man was a little anxious and quickly waved his hand to refuse.
Zhou Tian could tell that this old man had lived in a small mountain village for a long time and was quite simple.
No money is required, there are not many people like this anymore.
At this time, Zhou Tian no longer persuaded the old man to accept it, but spread out all the money and put it on the bed to dry.
"Are you all hungry? I'm going to get you something to eat. I don't know if white flour steamed buns and stewed fish are to your liking."
After the old man finished speaking, he was ready to go out to cook for Zhou Tian and Feini.
Zhou Tian felt warm in his heart. He met a good person tonight. This old man is really kind.
He and Fini had been starving for a long time. It could be said that they were sleepy, hungry and cold. Now they could even eat raw fish, let alone stewed fish.
"Thank you, old man. I'll help you light the fire."
Zhou Tian said quickly.
"No, no, you and your wife can wring out your clothes in the house. I have some clothes in the closet that are too dirty, so I won't let you change them."
The old man waved his hands repeatedly.
Zhou Tian couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. The old man regarded Feini as his wife and asked him to wring out the water from Feini's clothes in the house.
Wring out the water before putting it on, it is indeed the only way to dry it faster.
The old man understood quite well, so he closed the door and said outside: "You two, hurry up and wring out your clothes. Don't worry, I won't enter the house, old man."
Upon hearing this, Feini's face instantly turned red.
She wanted to wring her clothes out so much, it was too uncomfortable to wear them wet like this.
But it was too embarrassing to wring out clothes with Zhou Tian.
"I'll go out first. You can wring out your clothes and call me."
Zhou Tian said to Feini and then left the house.
Feini's face felt hot, so she quickly took this opportunity to wring out her clothes and put them on again.
"You can come in."
Feini shouted loudly to Zhou Tian in the house.
When Zhou Tian entered the house, Feini turned around and was about to go out to escape, but was stopped by Zhou Tian.
"Don't go out, you won't peek anyway."
Zhou Tian took Feini's hand and said to her.
Feini was startled and didn't understand Zhou Tian's intention, but she quickly lowered her head, thinking that Zhou Tian had stopped seeing her.
In fact, Zhou Tian had his own considerations. When going out, it is necessary to be on guard against others. Although this old man is harmless to humans and animals, after all, people's hearts are separated from each other, so Zhou Tian still has to be on guard.
If Feini goes out, what if the old man is a gangster?
Although this consideration was unfair to the old man, Zhou Tian still did not want to take this risk.
Feini didn't think about it that much, she just felt that Zhou Tian trusted her so much that he wouldn't avoid her even when twisting her clothes.
She turned her body around, facing Zhou Tian.
Zhou Tian didn't care so much, he had been hugging her for more than an hour before, so what's the big deal about changing clothes.
What's more, if you don't change, you just wring out the wet clothes before putting them on again.
So Zhou Tian took action, wringing out his clothes and pants, and then put them on again.
"Dad, why did you come back so early today?"
At this moment, a loud male voice came, and then the door outside slammed shut.
"Er Xi, are you gambling again?"
The old man said in an unhappy voice.
The man named Erxi is the old man's son. His real name is Lu Erxi, and he is the old man's only son.
Because he was idle and loved gambling, Old Man Lu had always disliked his son and had nothing to do with him.
"You don't care whether I gamble or not! Let me ask you, why did you come back so early today? How many fish did you catch?"
Lu Erxi asked Old Man Lu impatiently.
"Caught a basket of fish."
Old Man Lu saw that his son was about to get angry, so his tone became much weaker.
"Damn it! Old man, are you kidding me? I only caught a basket of fish, what are you doing here? How much can a basket of fish be sold for?"
Lu Erxi suddenly became irritable and yelled at his father.
Zhou Tian in the room could hear it clearly and couldn't help but frown.
How can there be such a scum? A son scolding his father? Aren’t you afraid of hurting the heavens?
"I saved two people today, so I came back early."
Old man Lu had no choice but to explain to Lu Erxi.
"Hey, you are still saving people? Where are those two people?"
