After Chen Youle woke up, he immediately became vigilant. He quickly glanced at the environment he was in, and quickly checked his whole body. After confirming that he was not hurt or restrained, he turned his attention to the man behind his back. To a figure sitting beside him.
"Who are you? How did you bring me here? What is your purpose? You, you are not a sea monster, are you?"
"Oh? So you have seen a sea monster? Or is it the type that can communicate with people? Why don't you tell me about it?" Li Yi turned around and asked with great interest.
Chen Youle looked at the man in front of him in surprise. After identifying it, he suddenly realized and pointed at Li Yi: "You, you are the man grandpa said! You have to help me! Save the fishing village!"
"What grandpa? Why don't you talk to me again? I will consider whether to save you." Li Yi said as he put the oil lamp in his hand on the table and took a look at this simple stone house.
A stone house made entirely of stones, a wooden bed, and a dilapidated small table that should be used for daily meals, with some traces of food residue on it.
This is a stone house far away from the fishing village, and it is also Chen Youle's home. It is the only place where some things can be discussed without attention, because the villagers have always been afraid of avoiding Chen Youle.
"What's wrong? Tell me, it seems like you recognize me, why don't you start with your grandfather?" Li Yi understood the other party's expression. It was a sign that he wanted to talk, but didn't know where to start. The ambivalence of wanting to try to trust the person in front of you, but instinctively feeling wary.
"Grandpa..." After hearing this word, Chen Youle, who had been a little wary just now, suddenly had red eyes and almost shed tears. He took a few deep breaths and then slowly began to tell.
It turns out that more than a hundred years ago, wars were frequent along the coast, and people were devastated. In order to avoid the wars, a group of fishermen decided to find a geomantic treasure to live in seclusion.
After going back and forth, I found this isolated island. At that time, the small fish island was not as desolate as it is today. The island had sufficient resources and fertile soil. In addition, it was located in an area rich in fish resources, so the fishermen saw it at a glance. He fell in love with this place and settled down.
"These fishermen are all the ancestors of the small fishing village, and my grandfather was also one of these people." Chen Youle said.
"Wait a minute, you said this island is an island?" Li Yi interrupted him with a wave of his hand and asked his first question.
"I know what you want to ask, and you will know as soon as I continue." Chen Youle nodded and continued.
So soon, the fishermen moved all their families to the island, and truly became islanders, living a carefree life. It is strange to say that since they landed on the island, whether they went out to sea to fish The fish still stayed on the island and never encountered the pirates who caused trouble.
At that time, the fishermen didn't think there was any problem, and they were very proud of their original decision. They were glad that they had found an excellent place to avoid disaster.
However, an unexpected incident let them know a truth that sounded a little creepy.
There was a time when a pregnant woman in the village had dystocia, but no one in the village knew how to deal with it. They had no choice but to let the person with the most experience in sailing, Chen Youle's grandfather, go ashore to find a doctor.
As the man with the best water skills and the most experience at sea in the village at that time, Chen Youle's grandfather naturally did his part and agreed immediately.
Things went very well. It didn't take long for him to call in a doctor and successfully deliver the baby to the pregnant woman with dystocia.
Amid the family's endless thanks, the doctor left, and the matter seemed to be over.
But from that day on, Chen Shicai seemed to be a different person. He neither went to sea to fish nor work in the fields every day. He stayed at home all day long, chattering as if he was talking about something.
At first, no one paid attention to his somewhat abnormal behavior. It was not until an elder sister in the village discovered the clues that the matter began to ferment.
"What happened to your grandpa?"
Chen Youle glanced at Li Yi and smiled bitterly: "I think you have guessed something. Let me tell you clearly. In fact, this island is not an island at all, but a huge turtle, so At that time, people from the fishing village came to the island to escape the war, and Oogway didn't seem to like the sound of gunfire, so he stayed away from the location where he first landed on the island."
Li Yi's expression remained unchanged: "So your grandfather had discovered this a long time ago and was originally unwilling to go ashore because he was afraid that not only would he not be able to find his way back, but he would also be afraid of delaying the delivery of the pregnant woman. What I said Right?"
Seeing him nod, Li Yi asked again: "I'm very curious, how did your grandfather get to the island back then? Although according to you, he was the fisherman with the best water skills and the most experience at sea in the village, but that Giant turtle..."
"That's right." Chen Youle nodded, "Even fishermen who have been swimming in the sea since childhood dare not say how familiar they are with the sea. It is common to get lost at sea, not to mention that it is not an island at all. , there are naturally other reasons why my grandfather can go back and forth safely."
"So?" Li Yi already had a vague feeling, and chose to let Chen Youle speak out just to confirm one of his thoughts.
A giant turtle with a body like an island.
Yaksha worshiped in the temple.
It has the ability to bring people to the island without anyone noticing, which is like space teleportation.
It all made Li Yi think of the possibility.
"It's a curse. Maybe for most people, this may be a dream ability, but for me, and for the generations of my ancestors, it's no different from a curse."
"This is a curse that has been carried for hundreds of years!"
Speaking of this, Chen Youle looked extremely excited. His nails were as deep as his flesh, but he didn't feel anything at all. It seemed that the physical pain was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.
Next, before Li Yi could ask questions, Chen Youle continued.
It turns out that Chen Shicai, Chen Youle's grandfather, discovered something unusual about this island very early.
In the past, every time he went to sea and found a fish-rich sea area, he would make a temporary mark and tie the float to a heavy object with a certain weight. He tried to make the float more conspicuous and mark an area for convenience. Next time you go out to sea, you can find this fishing area as quickly as possible, increase efficiency, and return with a full load as quickly as possible. After all, you are at sea, and everything can happen. The shorter the time you stay at sea, the better. This is the consensus of fishermen at sea.
But when Chen Shicai went out to sea for the first time after arriving on the island, he discovered something unusual.
