"What? It's salty." Mu Taoqiu licked her lips, finding it both fishy and salty, and gagged.
The sea breeze, carrying fine sand, brushed against the faces of the herders. Being new to the place, none of them were used to it, and several children burst into tears.
Mu Laosan was the most seriously injured and didn't get to drink much wine. In addition, he was in unbearable pain, so he was the most sober.
Looking around, I saw a vast, boundless sea in front of me and lush, tree-covered mountains behind me, covered with many unfamiliar plants, many of which had leaves that looked like feathers, growing in large, dense patches.
Mu Laosan jumped up in surprise: "Where is this? Look, we don't seem to be in the capital."
He jumped, then fell to the ground in pain, yelling loudly.
Mu Laosi had drunk too much and was in a daze. Although he managed to wake up, his head felt heavy and ached.
He followed Mu Laosi's gaze and looked around. Seeing the surrounding environment, he sobered up instantly, and his hair stood on end.
"Oh my god, where is this? It looks like the ocean is all around. Oh no, how are we going to get out?"
The others also sobered up and finally realized that they were on an island. Boss Mu, with a bad look on his face, climbed to the highest point and looked around. No matter which direction he looked from, all he could see was the vast ocean.
This is an isolated island. It's not small; you can hardly see the end of it, but you can still see the shimmering waves of the sea at the horizon. There is no land route connecting it to the outside world.
Mu Laoda's legs went weak.
He tried to calm himself down, but even after returning to his position as a shepherd, it was still clear that his legs were trembling.
“We got drunk last night and were brought here. We’re surrounded by the sea; this is an isolated island.” Mu Laosan’s face turned ashen with anger. “It’s already daylight. This place must be very far from the capital. And there’s no boat here. That person wants us dead.”
The Mu family members were all terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. They looked around in a daze, completely at a loss, their hearts filled with panic.
"Who brought us here? Could it be Mu Xinghe? The place we went to last night was his residence. He must have brought people to ambush us nearby, put sleeping pills in the food and drink, and then acted under the cover of night."
Mu Taoqiu became more and more convinced as she spoke: "He thinks we are a burden, afraid that we will benefit from him, and he doesn't want to be responsible for the family. He is truly heartless and ungrateful."
The others quickly realized what was happening, and filled with resentment, they cursed Mu Xinghe mercilessly, wishing they could tear him apart with their own hands.
Now the whole family is here and can't leave. Mu Xinghe is just leaving them to fend for themselves. That's too cruel.
The Mu family cursed until their eyes were crooked and their faces were contorted with rage, spitting saliva at each other. When they were tired of cursing and could no longer curse, they fell into a state of despondency, each of them hanging their heads in dejection. Even if Mu Xinghe did it, they had to find a way to leave this isolated island in order to survive.
"Brother, what should we do? How are we going to survive on this deserted island? I just heard wolves howling." Mu Lao Si almost burst into tears.
She sold all her family property and traveled a long and arduous journey to the capital to find Mu Xinghe, only to be dumped on this unfamiliar, deserted island, where she has no idea how many dangers lurk. How could she be so unlucky?
"How should I know what to do? It's your fault for rushing to the food like hungry wolves last night, getting completely drunk and not being on guard at all. There was a whole table of food, but no one was there. That's not normal."
"Brother, you're the one who's rushing ahead the fastest. You even gave me a push, as if you were afraid I'd beat you to it," Mu Lao Si said sarcastically.
"I'm the eldest brother, what's wrong with me eating first? You brothers are completely careless and lack any sense of judgment. Is this right?" Boss Mu argued vehemently.
Mu Laosan: "Alright, alright, you're the eldest brother, you eat first. But as the elder brother, shouldn't you be more vigilant and more experienced than us? You're just a useless eldest brother."
