Half a month later.
The coast of the East China Sea.
A small ring-shaped island that deviates from the popularity. It is located in a remote place and is disconnected from the town. Because the roads are rugged and difficult to walk, and most of them are cliffs, this island is rarely touched by people.
But unlike the raging wars outside, few people visit here because of the strange terrain. The island town has only one street, which is paved with bluestones. There are stalls in twos and threes on both sides of the street, mostly selling seafood specialties. Lord.
The shops with storefronts in the town include pharmacies, restaurants, teahouses, etc...
Although the town is small, it is well-equipped with all the facilities found in large towns. Because they rarely come into contact with outsiders, the aboriginal people here still maintain their simple folk customs.
The town is only that big in total, and everyone knows what job each household does, who has a child, and who has a misfortune, and they can't hide it. It feels like a paradise.
The sun was shining brightly on this day, and a group of outsiders came to the small town. They had strange temperaments. The women were either extremely beautiful or extremely ugly. The men were stern, except for the leader who laughed and greeted everyone he touched.
They were all a little aloof, it was Dong Zhang and his party.
"Brother, where is this?"
Among the crowd, Lu Yao looked curiously at the various fresh foods sold on the street. As an inland person, he had never seen seafood before. Looking at the strangely shaped fish, Lu Yao was excited and curious.
Not only her, but also many people in the team saw this weird 'fish' for the first time, and they couldn't help but look at it a few more times. In this era of backward transportation, many people have never seen the sea in their lives, let alone come here. Went to the coastal area for fun.
Even Xiao Longnu, who was always cold and cool, was curious and glanced at two places on the street. It could be seen that she was also a little surprised.
Dongzhang smiled when he heard this and didn't say much. Instead, he glanced at the small stall served by an old man next to him and found that there were five or six huge lobsters placed there. He went straight to the stall and saw the old man's nervous expression. Zhong bent his knees and squatted down, picked up a lobster that was still touching, and said with a smile: "Old man, how do you sell this lobster?"
There is a caravan in this town. They will go out to the island every other month to communicate with outsiders, in exchange for daily necessities needed on the island, and then sell them at high prices on the island. Naturally, outside money is here. It can also be circulated.
Regardless of this life or the next, gold and silver are hard currencies.
The old man looked cautiously at Zhang Dong and the fairy-like little dragon girl behind him, swallowed nervously, and said, "Is this your first time here, sir?"
"Well, come over and play."
Although the old man was afraid of strangers, he was very enthusiastic and introduced the situation on the island to Dongzhang and others one by one. Dongzhang was very patient and listened to his explanation with a smile. Finally, the transaction was completed to the satisfaction of both parties.
With a smile on the old man's dark face, Dong Zhang wrapped all the fresh food in his stall, allowing him to close the stall early and go home.
The old man may have felt that he had taken advantage of Dongzhang, so he always felt a little guilty, so he insisted on giving away a few dozen shrimps. Dongzhang didn't want them, so he had no choice but to accept them.
After the old man thanked him repeatedly, several people turned around and walked out of the town with bags full of fresh food.
Not long after the few people left, an aunt who was setting up a stall next to the old man looked at his colleague who was counting money with envy and said: "Old man Zhang, where did those fairy-like people come from? Take action. It’s so generous.”
"I don't know, but that accent doesn't come from the surrounding area. Maybe he comes from a distant inland area." Old man Zhang was so proud that he quickly packed up his stall and went home under the envious eyes of his colleagues.
"Brother, where are we going now?"
Facing the street vendors who kept looking furtively, Lu Qing nodded with some embarrassment, and then asked Dong Zhang who was walking in front.
"Buy a house."
The most indispensable thing for Dongzhang in his career is money. There are "wealth-spreading boys" all over the mountains and plains. With a little inquiry, you can know which hilltop is the richest. With just one visit, you can make money that ordinary people can't make in their whole life. How can this happen? Worried about having no money to spend.
He is also very arrogant, but he will not express any grievance to himself.
"Oh~"
Several people had been following Dongzhang for a long time and knew what his temper was. They were not too surprised when they heard this. As the saying goes, renting is not as comfortable as buying one.
At Old Man Zhang's place, Dongzhang knew that there were several idle houses in the town, all of which were in the hands of big merchants in the town. Knowing the situation, Dongzhang immediately found the merchants without stopping. He first looked at several houses, and finally asked Xiao Longnu’s opinion decided on the farthest and largest house from the town.
The house is located next to a cliff, with three entrances and three exits, and three floors up and down. When you open the window, you can see the boundless sea. In the parlance of later generations, this is a mountainside villa, and every inch of land is precious.
But in this life, people only seek convenience. This house is located in a remote place, so the price is not too high. Dongzhang did not even counter-offer, so he paid the room fee in full. Xiao Longnu pointed out Even if she was in charge of money, she wouldn't be able to bargain with others because of her personality.
If the money is not enough, she will turn around and leave. If she has enough money, she will throw it to others. This is definitely how she behaves.
In future generations, she will be nothing but a prodigal old woman.
............
After the land deed was officially handed over, Dongzhang and his gang could finally have a place to stay. Shenqiu's target was too big to follow in the town, so he had already sneaked into the mountains to wait for notification when he landed on the island.
After settling down this time, Lu Yao jumped up the courtyard wall, held his mouth with both hands, and let out a clear whistle. Soon, a response sounded from the mountain forest, and a huge figure jumped down the mountain at an extremely fast speed. Two people He jumped into the courtyard wall and it was the tall god.
It was approaching meal time, but no one was busy in the kitchen. They were all gathered on the balcony on the third floor, leaning on the fence and looking at the boundless sea on the other side of the cliff.
There is a small shed on the open-air balcony on the third floor, and underneath is a simple wooden swing. Dragon Girl is sitting on it, swinging, staring unblinkingly at the endless sea in the distance, and the sea breeze blows. Her hair and two white hair ribbons were fluttering in the wind. It was obvious that she also liked this place very much.
When it comes to the scenery of the sea, no girl can resist it. Whether in this life or in future generations, the sea always has a refreshing magic that can make people temporarily forget their worries.
At this moment, a red sun is gradually lowering into the sea level. Seagulls in twos and threes are flying and playing on the beach. The beach is also covered with a layer of golden color, with coconut trees forming shadows. The orange-red sunset reflects on Xiao Longnu’s fair and pretty face. It must be magnificent.
Dongzhang was lying on a recliner, looking at the excited people, and said helplessly: "There will be many opportunities to see in the future, I said, who will cook."
No one paid attention to the words as soon as they came out. They were all looking at the sea view excitedly, including Xiao Longnu. Seeing this, Dong Zhang had to get up and go downstairs: "Yes, it has to be me..."
