635 · Haining Cat Island (45)
Barrage:
【Refill.】
【Great compensation. 】
[Wait a minute, Sister Yaner said that only the child and the cat were talking in the room, so doesn't that mean that the child also knows the secret of the island? So the ones who know the secret of the island are actually the children and the middle-aged and elderly, and only the young people don't know? ]
[Isn’t this too counterintuitive? If children know this, why do they forget it when they grow up? ]
[Maybe Wu Da knows this because he can talk to cats? No one else knows except him?]
In the unknown space, the exploration team members were also thinking about the same question.
[Guan Hongyan,] Bai Jinshu thought for a moment before slowly typing in the temporary group chat, [You leave Wu Da's house first, how long do you have left to use your miracle?]
[Guan Hongyan: Five minutes, not a short time. If I run faster, I can reach Wu Meng. She is following another child who is carrying a cat home.]
【Guan Hongyan: @Wu Meng, address. 】
Wu Meng quickly shared a location in the temporary group chat.
[Guan Hongyan: Is there anyone at home with the child you are following?]
【Wu Meng: Yes, it was her grandmother who opened the door for her when she came home.】
【Guan Hongyan: OK.】
The two people in the group chat had a quick conversation and soon fell silent. It should be that Guan Hongyan was busy on the road and had no time to send messages. Seeing the group enter silence, the three newcomers who had been out of the situation finally found a chance to interrupt.
Fang Xiangxian diligently reported his progress: [Brother Du, we have walked around the location mentioned by the radio host for several times, but we haven't found any trace of sea monsters. ]
This is also expected. After receiving the submission, the radio host must have alarmed the enemy many times. It would be strange if they could see the sea monster.
[Have you guys made any progress?] Fang Xiang reported his progress and immediately started to ask about the previous conversation, [Does Sister Guan's discovery require our cooperation?]
This kid is really good at talking.
[No need,] Bai Jinshu tapped the dial a few times, [Wait for her to go to another house and eavesdrop, I need to verify something.]
He subconsciously frowned as he thought, and looked up to see the same thoughtful look in Yun Guang's eyes.
The information Guan Hongyan heard at Wu Da's house was enough to prove that there were more than just middle-aged and elderly people who knew the secret of cats on Haining Island. Wu Da could communicate with cats, so he was not an ordinary child. If Wu Da knew the news just because he could talk to cats, that would be fine...but looking at the performance of those children who took cats home when the night market incident happened, I'm afraid they also knew that the cats on Haining Island were not simple. If you want to know whether they know it or not, you can find out by just eavesdropping around the wall.
After all, an accident happened and the child is still young, so the elders in the family will always show concern and give some advice.
This was also the reason why Guan Hongyan did not ask any further questions after hearing Bai Jinshu's instructions and went directly to the next house.
Guan Hongyan and Wu Meng were not far away from each other. Not long after, her latest news appeared in the temporary group chat: [Confirmed, this kid also knows.]
[Guan Hongyan: My miracle doesn't have much time left, so I'll go out with Wu Meng first.]
[Okay,] Yun Guang thought for a moment and added, [Watch out for other wild cats on the road.]
【Guan Hongyan: OK】
It seems that the scope of this knowledge can now be determined.
[So the middle-aged and elderly people and children on this island all know that cats are problematic, but only the young people don’t know?] Lu Changfeng scratched his head, [Isn’t this too weird? If the children know, why don’t the young people know?]
When children grow up, don’t they become young adults?
[Two situations,] Typing is much slower than direct communication, but the advantage is that it can give you more room for thinking, saving you the trouble of writing down your thoughts on paper. Yun Guang was organizing his thoughts while sending messages in the temporary group chat. [The first one, they didn't know in the first place.]
【Du Zhongsheng: The second type is that they forgot. 】
There are only two situations in which information discrepancies occur: the first is that the person is not aware of it, and the second is that the person is aware of it but has forgotten it.
Inferring from this perspective, the biggest difference between young people, middle-aged and elderly people, and children is that there are no formal institutions of higher education on the island, so most young people choose to study outside the island, and young people who fail to get into university will also choose to work outside the island due to the backward development of the island.
Therefore, the biggest difference between the informed person and the uninformed person is that one is on the island and the other is not.
If the former is the case, then the changes occurred during the years when these young people grew up and left the island.
[The first one is unlikely.] Guan Hongyan climbed over the wall and used one of her hands to type quickly. [Brother Li said at the beginning that he could see his mother talking to cats since he was a child. He even asked his mother to teach him, but his mother refused.]
In addition to Li Ge, the adoptive owner of the tabby cat Fangzhang also mentioned that he saw his elders interacting with cats when he was a child. People on the island never shy away from talking about their own relationship with cats many years ago.
Then it can only be the second possibility.
[There are some strange rules on Haining Island.] Bai Jinshu looked around meaningfully. [Once you leave this island, you will forget the secret details related to cats.]
This is the only way to explain the current situation.
[And this memory recovery is not instantaneous,] Guan Hongyan responded quickly, [Otherwise, Brother Li shouldn’t be like this.]
If he could recover his memory as soon as he returned to the island, Li Ge probably wouldn't even open this pet hospital, let alone chase cats around the island for sterilization.
[And the self-media at the beginning,] Lu Changfeng quickly added, [If the cats on the island have a secret that cannot be discovered by the outside world, then the people who know it will definitely not let outsiders enter the island.]
But when they entered here on the first day, they pieced together the context of Haining Island's popularity from Xiaozhou and his friends' casual chat. It was originally just an ordinary and backward island, but the reason why it became a popular tourist check-in spot was because of a blogger who graduated from university and returned to his hometown to start his own media.
The blogger became famous because of the large number of wild cats that appeared in his vlog and the harmonious coexistence of people and cats on Haining Island. After grasping the traffic code, he began to concentrate on photographing cats. His works became very popular, turning Haining Cat Island into a popular tourist attraction, and he himself became a big blogger with hundreds of thousands of followers.
But the strange thing is that not long after she and Haining Island became popular, this new popular blogger never updated again and just stopped updating.
Yun Guang and his friends also tried to find the blogger to inquire about the situation, but when they followed the street view in the vlog to find her home, they did not run into her. The reason why the blogger suddenly stopped updating became a mystery.
Now it seems that maybe it’s because…
[Did the blogger remember? ] Wu Meng blurted out in the group in surprise.
[Then why didn't anyone stop her when she was doing this vlog in the beginning? ] Yu Changlin was puzzled.
Barrage:
【yes. 】
[Wasn’t Li Ge stopped by her mother? If the blogger’s parents knew about this, why didn’t they stop her? ]
[Because she...may be an orphan? ]
【? I couldn't find a reason to refute it. 】
【? I hope that they will be well. 】
[The Internet is full of dangers. It is true that Tsukuba lost his floating wood even after leaving the Internet for a few months. 】
【I am dying of laughter.】
…
[Then let me ask you,] Guan Hongyan twitched her lips speechlessly, [Will you open your circle of friends to your parents?]
Yu Changlin: ...
[Yu Changlin: Uh, what is the circle of friends? A social circle?]
Now it was Guan Hongyan's turn to be puzzled.
[Guan Hongyan:? No, then what is the name of your social chat software? ]
【Yu Changlin: Big eyes and green bubbles. 】
【Guan Hongyan: Then will you give your parents your Big Eye Green Bubble account?】
[Oh, I see,] Yu Changlin suddenly realized, [She didn’t tell her family either.]
There is a generation gap between young people and their parents. If they don't find a job after graduating from college and come back to do self-media, they will definitely be criticized by their families. The blogger who just started doing self-media probably didn't tell his family about this at all, thinking of doing it first and reporting it later.
Unexpectedly, by the time her account became popular and she remembered everything about the island, it was already too late.
Now there is a reason for this self-media blogger to stop updating.
[But if that's the case... then she's in big trouble.] Tong Yao said sympathetically.
[Yes, this blogger must have caused a big disaster,] Yun Guang paced in a circle, [Because she brought a lot of outsiders to this closed island, the people on the island must take certain measures to deal with it.]
In fact, they have seen this move before.
【B&B. 】Bai Jinshu hit the nail on the head.
The safest way to protect a secret is to keep the person who might leak the secret under your own supervision and keep a close watch on him.
There is a B&B next to the old house where they live. The owner of the B&B is extremely wary of customers who "take photos of cats in a certain state". He even drove away a customer himself for this incident, the folk singer who stayed at their place for a night.
After the tourism boom on Haining Island, many locals converted their homes into B&Bs to receive guests. There are no chain hotels on the island, but instead there are B&Bs. This behavior previously seemed like an attempt to catch up with the trend and make money, but now it seems to have a lot to do with the secrets of Haining Island.
But as a B&B owner, the guy next door seems to be going a bit too far.
[In that case...] Yun Guang was halfway through typing when suddenly, a voice came from upstairs.
"Is there a sound?" Lu Changfeng blurted out subconsciously, and after realizing that he had said it out loud, he quickly lowered his voice.
[The sound of talking,] Bai Jinshu paused, made a silent gesture, and typed in the temporary group chat, [It seems to be, talking about some surgery.]
He tried to identify it for a while and finally understood what the voice was saying.
[It should be the couple at the night market just now. 】
[They were probably talking about whether there would be any problems with the surgery being rushed and what the medical standards were like.] Bai Jin listened for a while and briefly relayed, [The voice on the other end said that the doctor was on the way, it was a minimally invasive surgery... the recovery will be quick... he will be able to be discharged within a week...]
The noise upstairs sounded like they were discussing something related to surgery, or rather, they had to call the doctor out from home for a surgery at such a late hour.
[Let’s go,] Yun Guang unconsciously turned the watch strap on his wrist while thinking, [Let’s go up and take a look.]
