Chapter 121
The next morning, Mao Qingquan and Chi Yunying got up early, called Brother Chen, and prepared to go to the village chief's house to help.
The village chief said there was nothing to do and the guests who had come from afar just needed to have a good rest.
As a result, the three people could no longer recommend themselves and had to go back to the house.
"The village chief of Shedao Village is really kind. He doesn't let us participate in any farm work." Mao Qingquan sighed.
Chi Yunying agreed deeply: "Yeah, unlike that guy Song Kun, there's a world of difference between this guy and others."
They're all village chiefs, but other people's village chiefs are warm, hospitable, and polite. But what about my own village chief? He never leaves the main gate or the secondary gate, and hides away when encountering any trouble. If you don't know him, you might think he's some unmarried girl. It's really embarrassing.
For a moment, the three adults in the room all praised the head of Snake Island Village.
Song Yue came back from outside and overheard this. She didn't respond to the other three's words, but simply said, "Our wooden boat can't handle the wind and waves, so we can't row it very far. I'd like Uncle Mao to help rebuild it. I happen to have some tools. Xingxiu and Aunt Mao, would you like to come over and help?"
Everyone was suddenly stunned and stared at her without blinking.
It was Mao Xingxiu who spoke first: "Yuanzhou, are you planning to go somewhere else?"
Chi Yunying: "Yes, Yuanzhou, I think Snake Island is pretty good, and the villagers are also very welcoming. It might be a good idea for us to stay here."
Brother Chen was even more confused. He tilted his head and looked at Song Yuanzhou: "Although Snake Island is a bit smelly, you should be able to get used to it after living there for a few days. Yuanzhou, Uncle Chen thinks Snake Island is really good. There is no need for us to go out and make trouble again."
Even Xiao Hei seemed to understand what she was saying. He ran up to her and bit her trouser leg to prevent her from leaving.
Song Yue sighed secretly. She had roughly guessed this ending yesterday.
But it doesn't matter, she is not in a hurry. Today is the fourth day of the dungeon, and there is still time to take Mao Xingxiu to the A03 base.
So he stopped persuading and instead took a step back.
"Okay, I understand."
The breakfast delivered in the morning was still placed on the round table in the dining room. Because Mao Qingquan and others had already gone out when A Ling came, and now that they were back, they decided to eat together.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the originally good breakfast was all spilled on the ground.
"Xiao Hei! You're stealing food again!"
Mao Xingxiu saw Xiao Hei eating happily under the round table and was so angry that he wanted to pull it out.
Xiao Hei is an authentic pastoral dog. His four legs move very fast. At first, Mao Xingxiu couldn't catch up with him at all. But after running a few laps, Xiao Hei slowed down and Mao Xingxiu caught him!
"Good for you, little Hei! You're still running!"
Mao Xingxiu held Xiao Hei and patted its mouth.
Not wanting to disturb the old man who was resting in bed, Chi Yunying quickly called him over and said, "Just eat it. Xiao Hei is also greedy. At worst, we can just skip a meal first."
Anyway, I've been hungry for three days at sea, so this meal won't make a big difference.
Everyone said they had no objection and were prepared to skip breakfast.
When I turned around, the familiar aroma of food filled the house.
There was no need to guess where the smell came from. Chi Yunying and Mao Qingquan looked at each other, then looked at their son, and the three of them immediately understood.
Only Brother Chen was left out of the situation. He looked at the breakfast that suddenly appeared on the table, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, seeing that the Mao family members didn't say anything, he swallowed all his wild ideas.
More than half an hour ago, when Mao Qingquan and Uncle Chen volunteered, Song Yue also quietly left the room.
She went to the shore.
Mao Qingquan and the others wanted to stay on Snake Island, but that was absolutely impossible for her. They would have to set off sooner or later, so the wooden boat had to be modified.
Song Yue originally planned to do it himself. After all, the almost scrapped dune buggy in the space could be dismantled, the engine and other parts could be installed on the boat, and then an underwater turbine could be made to directly free up manpower.
However, the current situation is more interesting than she expected.
The boat that they and Uncle Chen had parked on the shore yesterday disappeared.
Song Yue was very sure that the ship must have dropped anchor. Unless someone deliberately took it away, it was impossible for the two ships to disappear at the same time.
Later she walked around the shore in the opposite direction of the village, and soon she found their boat in a very hidden cave.
Not just their boats, but many power boats that looked brand new.
There was a logo engraved on the hull. Song Yue wiped off the water stains and found that it was actually a ship from Continent A.
She climbed over and tried it out. The boat was usable and could be sailed away as long as it was filled with diesel.
There was no one around, so she placed her hands on the two power boats, which disappeared silently into the cave.
After breakfast and before noon, Song Yue noticed that the sky outside the window suddenly became dark, and the thin clouds were constantly piling up, becoming thicker and thicker.
The light in the room gradually dimmed. Xiao Hei, who was napping on the ground, seemed to sense something. He opened his sleepy eyes and stared at Song Yue, the only person in the room who had not rested.
Its tail swept the ground restlessly for a few times, and the next second, its black eyes suddenly stared out the door.
"Shh, Xiao Hei, don't scream~"
Song Yue quickly covered Xiao Hei's mouth. Xiao Hei understood human nature and immediately fell silent.
She let go of his hand and quickly stepped behind the door.
There was a noise outside the door, a rustling sound. Although the sound was very soft, it still could not escape her ears.
Song Yue's eyes narrowed, and he held the dagger in his palm.
It was at this moment that the rustling sound suddenly stopped, and it sounded as if the person outside the door had also sensed her movements.
Ordinary people simply don't have such high sensitivity, not to mention there is a door between them. She also controlled her breathing, but even so, she couldn't escape the eyes of people outside the door.
Song Yue thought for a moment and made a mouth shape to Xiao Hei, who immediately started barking!
With this call, several people who were resting in the house woke up, and the rustling sounds outside the house faded away like lightning.
Xiao Hei was once again severely reprimanded by Mao Xingxiu for barking carelessly, but Chi Yunying stopped him, a little puzzled: "Xiao Hei never barks randomly. Look, is there anyone outside the door?"
Song Yue pretended to have just walked to the door, waved her hand and said, "Let me do it."
Then he opened the wooden door.
There was no one outside the door.
Mao Xingxiu turned around and pointed at Xiao Hei: "There's no one outside the door, Xiao Hei, don't yell anymore~"
Xiao Hei: It feels wronged, but it doesn’t know how to say it.
At noon, Miss Aling brought them lunch again, and before leaving, she asked them how her cooking skills were.
Chi Yunying and the others didn't get to eat A Ling's breakfast at all. They smiled awkwardly when they heard the sound and said it was delicious, very delicious.
Ah Ling raised her eyebrows happily: "As long as it tastes good, I'm just worried that you won't be used to it~"
After saying that, he jumped away.
The group didn't get to taste A Ling's cooking in the morning, but now they had the chance at noon. Mao Xingxiu tied up Xiao Hei to prevent him from eating the food that others kindly gave him.
Everyone picked up their chopsticks and was about to start eating when they saw Song Yue throw the rice to the ground: "You can't eat this rice."
Everyone was surprised and stared with wide eyes, not understanding why she did this.
Mao Xingxiu wanted to speak, but saw Song Yue put her finger to her lips and shook her head slightly at him.
He and everyone else immediately shut up, and the room was silent for a while.
They saw Song Yue walk to Xiao Hei, untie Xiao Hei's rope, and direct Xiao Hei to eat the food on the ground.
Just like in the morning, Xiao Hei ate with relish.
After a while, most of the meat and vegetables that were overturned on the ground were eaten by Xiao Hei.
“Yuanzhou…what are you doing…?” Chi Yunying couldn’t help herself and finally asked in a low voice.
Song Yue found a broom and dustpan from the corner and swept the food that was not cleaned up on the ground into the room. She said calmly, "There is aphrodisiac in the food. You can't eat it."
What? !
The people in the room gasped.
"Love drug? Yuanzhou, how did you know that?" Mao Xingxiu showed a confused and unbelievable expression.
Song Yue raised her chin towards Xiao Hei.
Everyone's attention immediately shifted to Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei, who was originally lively and energetic, suddenly began to doze off after eating the food on the ground. He walked to the corner in a crooked manner, curled up his body, and fell asleep after a while.
Song Yue: "Xiao Hei was like this before, he would fall asleep right after eating. Mao Xingxiu, didn't you notice? You couldn't catch up with Xiao Hei at first, but then Xiao Hei suddenly slowed down and you were able to catch him."
A word can wake a person up from his dream.
Mao Xingxiu belatedly realized the situation and opened his mouth wide. "...You, you mean... there's also... a problem with the breakfast?"
"Yes." Song Yue nodded, "Not only breakfast and lunch, I think the same applies to today's dinner, even."
She paused deliberately. "In order to make us pass out quickly, they might have to keep an eye on us tonight and force us to eat."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold, as if it had turned into an ice cellar.
Everyone looked at her in shock and silence. It was hard to imagine that the villagers they called hospitable actually wanted to murder them!
Chi Yunying's face turned pale. She looked outside the door and asked in a low voice, "Yuanzhou, when did you realize something was wrong?"
There were so many of them traveling together, but in the end only Song Yuanzhou noticed them?
What exactly did they miss? Where did the village chief and A Ling reveal their true colors?
Chi Yunying, Mao Qingquan and Brother Chen stared at each other, unable to recall any clues at all.
At this time, Song Yue had cleaned up the leftovers and stuffed the dustpan under her bed to cover it up.
Then he raised his head and explained: "I realized there was a problem here when I came ashore."
"There are no other boats on the shore except us. This is unreasonable."
The room fell silent for a moment.
Yes, they were so happy and excited when they docked that they didn't notice that their boat was the only one on the shore and there were no other boats. This was obviously a problem!
How is it possible that such a big village doesn’t have a single family going out to sea?
In a place like their Lime Island, even if the number of villagers going out to sea is small, there will always be a boat on the shore.
After Song Yue's reminder, everyone felt extremely strange when they recalled the empty coastline.
Having said that, Song Yue told everyone that their boat had been secretly towed away by the villagers and that there had been uninvited guests outside the door before.
After listening to her calm explanation, everyone felt a chill down their spine.
"No wonder they arranged for us to live in the south room." Mao Qingquan woke up as if from a dream, with fear in his eyes. "Our ship is parked in the north. If they arranged us in that direction, we would definitely find out that the ship has been tampered with!"
"That's right! I thought the village chief and others were really nice to us! I didn't expect it to be like this!" Chi Yunying frowned, feeling annoyed by her own recklessness.
Mao Xingxiu suddenly realized, "No wonder Xiao Hei was barking just now! So there really is someone outside?!"
Oh my God, Mao Xingxiu felt creepy when he thought of the guy outside the door with a sinister smile on his face and staring at them hungrily.
He walked over to the sleeping Xiao Hei, rubbed its head gently, and said with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry, Xiao Hei, I wronged you~"
If Xiao Hei hadn't reminded him, the person outside the door would have entered their room without anyone noticing.
So the question is, what exactly are the villagers of Snake Island Village going to do to them?
What is their purpose in attacking them again and again?
The author has something to say:
I flew home today and wasted quite a bit of time during the day, so I finally posted the update this evening!
I'd also like to remind everyone to take care of your health during the Chinese New Year. If you can avoid getting yang, try to avoid it. If you do get yang, rest well and avoid moving around too frequently and getting infected again.
This time, I took a flight and never took off my mask from the moment I entered the airport. I barely ate a drop of water, and I even wore two layers. I just hope God doesn't let me get sick again! My body really can't take it anymore!
