"The species on this island are so rich!"
After the beasts passed away, Jiang Nan couldn't calm down for a long time. She never imagined that familiar animals would appear on a strange island.
"Luoluo, what do you think?"
"It's obviously domesticated, the wild ones don't look like this."
"Yes, I want to follow the traces and see if there are others on the island."
"Let's work together. We have two guns. If there are good things, we will grab them."
"You're talking nonsense again."
Jiang Nan was very interested, but was shocked by Chen Mu. However, the three of them had the same idea of going together.
The water wind grass has the ability to automatically recover, and the traces left by the herd are quickly recovering. The three of them are shocked to see it. Halfway through, there was a strong wind blowing, and with nowhere to hide, the tightly held hands were blown away together, and soon fell to the ground again. Fortunately, the grass was thick and soft, but the five internal organs were shaken, and the body was slightly uncomfortable.
Passing through the middle of the jungle, they encountered a wetland. The wetland was obviously formed by the rise of the earth's crust, and still retains traces of coral reefs. There are some sparse water plants growing on it, and springs are constantly emerging from the cracks in the rocks. The uneven depths of the puddles show colorful colors. Looking closer, we can see that the shallow water is still covered with weeds.
"Boss, there is some meat to eat."
Chen Muzheng was distinguishing the muddy watermarks left by animal footprints when a woman's sly voice came to his ears. Turning around, I saw Jiangnan going deep into the wetland step by step.
Li Luo watched along the direction south of the Yangtze River for a long time. It took him a long time to see a tentacle disguised as the color of aquatic plants waving in the water.
"I'll catch you!"
After tiptoeing to her destination, Jiang Nan suddenly pounced down and quickly grabbed the tentacles in the water that were smoother and tenderer than hers.
"Come here and help me, it's trying to escape."
This was a palm-sized squid, with most of its body hidden deep in the crevices of the rocks. Jiang Nan pinched its tentacles hard, and it was so slippery that he might miss it at any time.
Before Chen Mu arrived, Jiang Nan had already thought of a way: stick directly to the water and bite the prey tightly with his teeth. Using both hands and mouth, he pulled out the squid.
"I'll go, you dare to bite me."
After finally pulling the squid out of the rock crevice, Jiang Nan felt a pain in the tiger's mouth and instinctively threw the squid out. He didn't have time to look at the wound and hurriedly chased him out. She was kicking and stepping on the shallow water, which made people worry that she would fall down at any time.
The squid landed next to Chen Mu and regained its freedom. It wormed its way into any opening. Fortunately, Chen Mu moved quickly and stabbed the sharp branch in his hand steadily.
"Did you hit it? Did you hit it?"
"for you"
"Nais, there is some meat to eat."
Taking over the squid-clad branch, Jiang Nan was as excited as if he had seen delicacies. He pretended to smell it, held it in his hand and continued to look for the target.
"There should be more. Let's look for them when we come back. First, see if there is anyone else."
"oh!"
The three of them continued to move forward, and after another half hour, they were shocked by the sight before them.
What you see is a city wall surrounded by huge trees, more than ten meters high and solid. A wide-open entrance reveals knee-high grassland inside. The pasture is not very big, about 20 to 30 acres by visual inspection, and it is a fenced pasture.
"Dear me, there is a Damu Manor hidden in the forest. They can't be cannibals, right?"
Surprised, the three of them carefully went deeper and saw the whole grassland clearly. There are wooden walls on two sides of the pasture, with a small gap left. The other two sides are fences of human height. On the edges of the fences, there are simple livestock sheds to protect them from the rain. What was outside the fence shocked them even more: an open farmland planted with corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes, etc., plus the abandoned land, totaling no less than forty or fifty acres.
"Look, there is... a small foreign-style building."
It's not just a small western-style building. There are wooden walls to the north and east of the cultivated land, a beach to the south, and a grassland to the west. And on the edge of the beach, a simple building overlooks the sea.
"Look at the beach, there seems to be someone there."
"Let's go and take a look. Be careful and hide the gun."
It seemed close, but it seemed far away. It took several minutes for the three of them to walk from the grassland to the beach.
Before Chen Mu and others could speak, the other party had noticed it, turned around and waved slowly.
The three of them were wary and approached cautiously. Only then did they realize that they were overthinking: the other party was an old man in his old age, and his wrinkled face made it vaguely clear that he was a woman.
"Young man, did you come here from a dream?"
"How does the old man know?"
"Haha, my mother told me when I was a child that there is a dream interpreter in the world who can weave dreams. She said that she escaped here from a dream. My grandfather also said that no ships will come here again, so I I guess you came here from a dream."
"No, your grandfather?"
The three of them heard a bad premonition, and Jiang Nan couldn't help but ask: "Old man, you won't live here all your life, will you?"
"Not just me, my father also grew up here. It's actually pretty good here."
"Are there many people here?"
"I'm the only one. I originally planned to leave, but I didn't expect someone else to come. Hey, it seems that God doesn't want this place to be lonely."
"Are you alone? Then who built this wooden wall?"
"My grandparents, there were quite a few of them back then, dozens of them. They came here because of the sunken ship. They built the wall to resist the beasts. Unfortunately, they left a long time ago."
"Really? How did you leave?"
"Lie down on the raft, fall asleep and leave."
As he spoke, the old man pointed to the shoal not far away, where a raft was floating.
The three of them concentrated: The old man said leaving should be said to be a burial at sea.
"Only my mother walked from the wall. She painted a picture on the wall and lived in the painting. My father said that she was a god descended to earth, which should be true. She brought out many things from the painting. The warehouse was full of weird things, and the house built by my grandfathers couldn’t even fit them in. She even said she wanted to bring me into the painting, but she never came back."
The three of them looked at each other and knew that the old man's mother must be a dream interpreter. There were many reasons why she could not come back. After all, dreams are just as dangerous.
"Old man, where is that wall?"
"The time has come. I'm very happy to see you, but unfortunately I don't have time to talk. Remember, the forest is very dangerous. Don't go deep. This manor will be left to you. I just released the animals. You need to hunt by yourself in the future. "
After saying that, the old man looked calm and stood up unsteadily. Li Luo stepped forward to help but was rejected. Without looking back, she got on the raft. Within a moment, the sea suddenly ebbs and the raft drifts away across the ocean.
"It's over, it's over. Three generations of people haven't waited for rescue. We are going to die here."
"Stop howling, go see what's in the small building first."
"Yes! Let's go and look for treasures."
Thinking that it was something saved by three generations, Jiang Nan was so happy that he swept away his melancholy and ran ahead of Chen Mu and the others.
The small building is not small, with upper and lower floors, and is entirely made of bamboo and wood. It is built against a sloping cliff, with stairs outside. There are balconies on the front, left and right sides of the second floor. The house covers an area of more than 100 square meters. The first floor is a warehouse with a high front and narrow back, with two doors to enter.
Considering whether it was something left by a mother to her daughter or brought out from a dream, the richness of the items should not disappoint. However, the moment he entered the warehouse, Chen Mu lost his mood: half of the nearly 200-square-meter warehouse was filled with women's products.
"You guys register the supplies, and I'll go take a look around."
The things in the warehouse were all ordinary things, and Chen Mu didn't have much interest in them. It may also be that the time in distress was too short to realize the preciousness of daily necessities. Anyway, after talking to the two women, he left the warehouse.
To the left of the small building, a building with corridors caught Chen Mu's attention: the main body was a wooden house of fifty or sixty square meters, and the pavilion in front of the house was unusually large. It was not an exaggeration to call it a hall or shed. There are two rows of pillars supporting the shed in the middle, and there are also long tables and benches. The stone floor is clean and tidy, not at all like a shelter for the homeless, but more like a corridor for a hermit.
Pushing open the wooden door, Chen Mu felt as if he had traveled back in time: an old-fashioned kitchen with neatly arranged knives, tongs, stoves, pots, dishes and pots. The spacious kitchen showed the owner's attentiveness everywhere.
There was also an inner room in the kitchen. Chen Mu took a casual look and found that it was a place where food was stored. There are wooden boards dividing different areas, filled with various farm harvests.
After looking at the kitchen, Chen Mu felt satisfied. After all, it is a desert island. Although it lacks modern equipment, it is impeccable to achieve this step. Three generations of hard work have come to their rescue today.
On the other side, shortly after Chen Mu left, Li Luo also followed. Thinking that the man had gone upstairs, she went to the second floor. Before she entered the door, she was impressed: the floor was paved with wood divided into two halves, and the seams were so tight that no trace of assembly could be seen. The room layout has a front hall and a back room. The stairs are connected to the right side of the corridor and to the left of the living room. The sliding wooden door leads to the balcony. There is also a baffle between the living room and the room. Behind the baffle is the corridor, and the four bedrooms are side by side on one side of the corridor.
After checking around, Li Luo came to the balcony, leaned on the railing and looked at the sea, feeling relaxed and happy. Everything you need for life is here, you are far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, you still have a panoramic view of the sea and sky, and you have your sweetheart by your side, so you can live for as long as you like.
"There is a bright future in another village. We are lucky."
At some point, Chen Mu came to Li Luo's side, his tone filled with joy of surviving a desperate situation.
Li Luo turned around and smiled gently. Chen Mu conveniently touched the waist of the woman upstairs. Sure enough, his girlfriend's real body was the most attractive. The softness of the tentacles made him have the urge to indulge in it.
Taking the woman into his arms, Chen Mu pressed her hair against her hair and said, "If rescue doesn't come, I don't think the next days will be sad."
"Yes. Look, this is what Jiang Nan and I calculated. Most of them are women's products. She and I will never be able to use them all in our lifetimes."
Li Luo spread out the list, and Chen Mu took a quick glance at it and deeply felt the mother's care for her daughter.
"If you really can't go back until five or six years later, will your promise still be unfulfilled?"
Li Luo's body trembled slightly, he bit his soft lips and said coquettishly: "Why do you still like this kind of thing?"
"I didn't expect it either. Eat the marrow to know the taste."
Chen Mu was joking, but Li Luo thought about it very seriously. I have never thought about violating the etiquette with Chen Mu before marriage, but on this isolated island, if I treat her with the original attitude, I am afraid that something heartbreaking will happen to me.
"Okay, just kidding. Of course we have to save the best things for the best moments."
Seeing the tangled look on the woman's face, Chen Mu smiled and let her go, promising: "I promise you, whether before or after you marry me, I will never force you to do anything you don't want to do."
Li Luoyan smiled, looked at the man for a moment, and suddenly said: "I've been hungry for two days, how about I cook for you?"
"I'll take you there. The kitchen is pretty good."
The two left together, and when they went downstairs, they saw someone performing a magical operation.
