Chapter 259: Dead End in the Ocean
There was a bumper harvest of grain on Jianggu Island, and Fu Xinran brought people to personally deliver tens of thousands of kilograms of various grains to Gu Luan and Jiang Xian.
She originally wanted to give more, but was rejected by Jiang Xian and Gu Luan.
They don't lack these things, so there's no need to compete with others for them.
Fu Xinran has this intention, and it is enough for them to accept 10,000 kilograms.
Except for Gu Luan and Jiang Xian, everyone else on the island also had food, and each person had 1,000 kilograms.
Tang You and the others knew that they also had one, so they couldn't refuse and took it with red faces.
Li Man and the other seven women were too embarrassed to accept it until Fu Xinran forced it on them.
More than a dozen people felt embarrassed to receive so much food.
When Fu Xinran was preparing for the second sowing, they all went to help.
The two islands are thriving and everyone lives in harmony.
In the early morning, the dawn came and the sunlight dispersed the mist on the island, covering the island with a layer of golden light.
Gu Luan walked out of the wooden house and stretched.
Look at the bright sky and take a deep breath.
It's another beautiful day, I hope it will always be like this.
There was no sign of Jiang Xian in the room. I guess someone had taken him away.
There seemed to be some movement outside. Gu Luan walked to the gate of the yard and looked over.
Dozens of people squatted on the ground and cleared all the weeds on the nearby ground.
Not only that, some people also planted wild flowers and trees on the island.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Luan looked at it for a minute and finally asked.
Everyone looked up and greeted Gu Luan in unison.
"Miss Gu, are you up? Did we disturb you?"
"Good morning, Miss Gu."
Gu Luan nodded in response and walked towards them.
"Ms. Gu."
Xiao Xiang and Liao Wansheng came over, both holding sickles in their hands.
"What are you doing?"
"Miss Gu, there has been little work on the farm lately. We noticed there were too many weeds near where you live, and we were afraid there might be snakes hiding in them, so we took it upon ourselves to clean them up."
Liao Wansheng explained with a chuckle.
When he talked to Gu Luan, he couldn't help sweating nervously and rubbing his hands together.
This is an unconscious action when facing idols.
"Thank you very much."
Gu Luan's heart softened and her tone softened a little.
She really didn't know what to say to these people, she could only say thank you.
There were indeed a lot of weeds nearby, but she and Jiang Xian only cleared the area near their home and left other places alone.
She hadn't expected them to think of that.
Before they knew it, they had been on Jianggu Island for four or five months.
During this period, they never disturbed her life, and even if they met, they would greet her from afar.
Gu Luan knew that everyone who could stay on the island was carefully selected by Fu Xinran.
"Miss Gu, you're welcome. This is what we should do."
Xiao Xiang and Liao Wansheng are very grateful to Gu Luan.
They were able to stay on this island because they had to compete with many people.
Hundreds of people were competing for it, but only a hundred or so were allowed to stay. For them, it was a supreme honor.
Everyone knows that the safety factor of this island is even higher than that of Jiang Gu Base.
Everyone felt that living on this island was more comfortable than living at the base.
Xiao Xiang and Liao Wansheng had never seen how powerful Gu Luan and the others were, but that did not stop them from hearing about it from the people in the base every day.
This also deepened their admiration for Gu Luan and Jiang Xian, no less than that for anyone else.
Gu Luan smiled and was about to let them go to rest when Tang You and others came over carrying buckets of water.
"Miss Gu, would you like to go fishing together?"
Li Man was carrying a bucket of water and took the initiative to greet people with a smile.
More than half a year has passed, and the seven women have forgotten their pain and returned to their former cheerful self.
When people first came to the island, they were afraid, but they gradually became calmer after they were sure that no one would hurt them.
"No, you guys go first."
Gu Luan had something to say to Xiao Xiang and the others, so he declined everyone's invitation.
"Then we'll go to the beach."
Tang You waved his hand and walked towards the beach with Qi Suhua and several other women.
Not long after, several women came running over in panic.
"Oh no, Sister Gu, something happened."
Tang You called out to Gu Luan loudly, pointing in the direction of the ocean.
Gu Luan's heart sank slightly, and he walked quickly towards Tang You and the others.
Xiao Xiang and others looked at each other, then followed with sickles in hand.
Qi Suhua and others looked at the sea with despair, and did not notice that the buckets in their hands fell to the ground.
In front of them, large groups of sea fish were lying on their backs, washed onto the beach by the waves.
No one had ever seen such a horrific scene and no one knew what had happened.
Qi Suhua was the first to notice that something was wrong and immediately asked Tang You to notify Gu Luan.
They rely on the sea, and in addition to supplies on the islands, supplies from the ocean are indispensable.
Only in this way can they have no worries about food and drink.
There seems to be a problem with the ocean now. Will they be able to catch seafood in the future?
Gu Luan walked towards the beach and could see the situation in the sea clearly from a distance.
She walked closer step by step, and her frown deepened as she got closer to the sea.
"how so?"
Some people couldn't help but speak out.
Even though no one knew what exactly had happened, everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts at the same time.
Gu Luan walked over, and Qi Suhua and the others stepped aside and looked at her nervously.
Gu Luan picked up a branch, walked to the beach, and used the branch to fiddle with the dead fish.
Everyone stood behind Gu Luan and watched nervously, and no one dared to disturb her.
Gu Luan looked at the ocean in the distance, silent and with a serious expression.
After a long while, she turned around and said, "Don't fish in the sea anymore."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes went dark and their throats became dry.
"Sister Gu, what happened in the sea?"
Tang You looked at the sea and asked anxiously.
“The ocean is polluted.”
Gu Luan used a branch to scoop up a colorful fish onto the beach for everyone to see.
When everyone looked down, they saw that the fish had a strange-shaped tumor on it, which was creepy.
"Oh my God!"
Someone exclaimed, covered his mouth and turned his head away. This scene was too disgusting.
"Could it be nuclear contamination?"
Xiao Xiang questioned, already having an 80% guess in his mind.
"I don't know. Anyway, we can't catch anything in the sea anymore."
Gu Luan also tends to believe nuclear contamination, but is not particularly sure.
After all, it is the end of the world now, and no one can guarantee whether the pollution is caused by other reasons.
"What are we going to do next?"
"Doesn't God want us to live?"
Some people broke down and cried.
Life has finally gotten better and there are fewer natural disasters on this island. They are happier every day, but now they are faced with such a situation.
How desperate it is to live by the sea but not be able to catch seafood.
Gu Luan did not comfort anyone and just let them vent.
She looked towards the sea for a long time without saying a word.
Everyone felt bad, including her.
In fact, she had already made such preparations, but when the day came, sadness was still inevitable.
Another dead end is before everyone, and no one knows what will happen in the future.
A familiar breath approached from behind. Gu Luan did not look back until the familiar breath enveloped her.
