Chapter 636 Is there anyone on the island?
What's going on?
Why are all those people gone?
Nan Yan widened her eyes in shock, looking at the empty river beach. There was really no one there!
Ye Zheng's face turned pale, and he quickly turned to look at Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty!"
Zhu Feng raised his hand to stop him from saying anything further: "I saw it."
“…”
He, on the other hand, remained calm in the face of adversity.
After a moment's thought, he immediately said, "Ye Zheng, Xiaoyu, you two should go to the boat over there and take a look."
"yes."
Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu hurried over.
Nan Yan looked at their backs, her breathing becoming tense with nervousness. At this moment, a hand reached out to her.
At first glance, it was Zhu Feng's hand.
He said, "Follow me closely."
Nan Yan quickly reached out and grabbed his hand.
The other hand held the dagger tightly.
Zhu Feng took her and walked slowly forward to check the riverbank. The bonfire was still burning, but the firewood was almost burned out, and the things in the shed were still there.
Everything remains the same.
How could those people suddenly disappear?
The two of them stood in front of the awning. Zhu Feng frowned and looked at the vast lake in front of him without saying a word. After a while, Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu came back.
"Your Majesty," Ye Zheng said solemnly, sweating profusely, "There's no one left on the boat."
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "Are there any casualties?"
"No."
“…”
“It just all disappeared.”
No one was killed or injured, these people just disappeared silently.
Could it be a ghost?
This thought seemed to pop up in everyone's mind at the same time, but Nan Yan immediately shook her head vigorously, as if to put her absurd idea behind her.
How is that possible?
In broad daylight.
Ye Zheng frowned and said, "Your Majesty, could it be those people from the Neng Kingdom?"
When Nan Yan heard this, she also became nervous.
She had worried before that if those people had also encountered the Guanyin storm, they might be nearby, or even on this island.
If it were them—
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "Impossible."
"Why?"
"If it was them, there wouldn't be any signs of fighting here."
When everyone heard this, they looked around.
Indeed, nothing was in disarray; even the utensils they had brought down from the boat were still in place in the shed.
There was no blood on the ground.
Zhu Feng said: "Besides, if they are really from the Neng Kingdom, their target should be me, or -"
As he said this, he glanced at Nan Yan.
Nan Yan blinked and nodded slightly.
indeed.
Those servants, along with the boatmen, meant nothing to the people of Dian.
Zhu Feng said, "If they take all these people away, then they should stay here and wait for my return."
“…”
"But now, they've all disappeared."
Everyone nodded.
But the next moment, an almost chilling thought emerged in his mind.
Not a Dang person.
Then, who is it?
Are there other people on this island?
What was their purpose in kidnapping all these people?
Zhu Feng almost subconsciously turned around and looked back the way they came, as if he was judging something.
Nan Yan's hand was still tightly held in his hand, and he had never let go since the beginning. At this time, his palms were full of cold sweat.
Nan Yan whispered, "Your Majesty, are there people living on these islands on Xingluo Lake?"
When they heard her ask this question, Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu looked at Zhu Feng nervously.
Zhu Feng turned around and looked at her.
After a long silence, he said, "Yes."
“…”
“Some islands are inhabited.”
“…”
"only--"
However, even these islands were not recorded in the map. I guess the Ministry of Revenue of the imperial court was unable to record them in the household register.
So, this is a place outside the world.
But I don’t know if it is a paradise.
At least from the current situation, all the people they brought were abducted silently, which made them feel even more eerie.
Nan Yan whispered, "So, is there anyone on this island?"
Zhu Feng looked back again and said, "There shouldn't be any here."
“…”
"I just looked at the traces on the riverbank around here. There are only some animal footprints left by people fetching water, but no human footprints."
“…”
"Besides, if the people on this island kidnapped our people and took them to other places on the island, we should have heard the noise since we just walked so far away."
Nan Yan gasped.
She whispered, "So, it was people from other islands who came here and kidnapped our people."
“…”
"Now, maybe they have been taken to another island?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's possible."
"That--"
Nan Yan asked anxiously, "Then Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
After this, only Zhu Feng remained calm. He looked around and said, "Now, we must find out what's going on."
“…”
"The boat was damaged and needed someone to repair it, and a boatman was needed to sail it."
“…”
"So, if we want to leave here, we have to find someone."
"But where can I find it?"
Zhu Feng raised his head and looked at the vast expanse of water in front of him.
He said, "Let's make a raft first and go to the nearby island."
Ye Zheng said with some worry: "What I am worried about is, what if it is someone from a very far island?"
“…”
"Our boat can't sail, so we can only rely on the raft. What if we encounter another storm?"
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "He probably isn't from a very far island."
"Why?"
"It's impossible for those people to patrol these islands every day to see if anyone has come. Otherwise, there would be traces of human activity here."
“…”
"I guess they saw the smoke from the bonfire we lit here and knew there were people here, so they came and took them away."
“…”
"If you can clearly see the flames and smoke, then the distance should not be too far."
After hearing this, Nan Yan suddenly understood.
That's true.
Ye Zheng said in a servile manner: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhu Feng just glanced at him coldly, then turned around and ordered, "Ran Xiaoyu, go to the boat now and collect the remaining food."
"yes."
Ran Xiaoyu responded and immediately turned to go to the big ship.
Zhu Feng said again: "Ye Zheng, let's build a raft together."
"yes."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan became anxious: "Your Majesty, what about me?"
Zhu Feng turned around and looked at her.
"you--"
“…”
"Don't cause me trouble."
