In fact, Yu Yuanzheng had been thinking about this question since she heard what the two mothers-in-law said.
It started since they came here, so it must be caused by the environment here, or the food they eat.
But the specific origin needs further investigation to be determined.
"Your Majesty, this question needs to be analyzed from many aspects. The only reason I can think of is that there is really a problem with the living environment on this island, and they ate something they shouldn't have. We will stay for two days, and I will investigate further." Yu Yuanzheng answered truthfully.
"Um."
The group returned to where they had eaten.
The two maids, Lixiang and Taoxiang, had already prepared beds for them.
After rocking on the sea for half a month, I can finally sleep on land. For those who go to sea for the first time, that is the greatest enjoyment.
After the sailors finished their meal, Shangguan Ziqi began to organize everyone to replenish supplies on the ship.
Replace all their water.
Then I ordered some dishes from each family and asked them to take them with them.
It's not that I want their things.
Shangguan Ziqi took some goods from the ship to exchange with them.
A few exquisite bowls made the girls amazed.
They had never seen anything so beautiful.
When Shangguan Shangqi took out a few embroidered handkerchiefs and gave them to them, the girls couldn't take their eyes off them.
There was only linen on the island, and the clothes they wore were not dyed.
In order to make their clothes more beautiful, some girls picked flowers or leaves of some plants, crushed them, and used the juice to dye the cloth.
But if you want beautiful colors, you can't do that.
So they all loved what Shangguan Ziqi brought out.
I was willing to exchange anything I had at home with the sailors.
As a result, I got the supplies I wanted without having to give out much.
It was not until dinner time that Shangguan Ziqi finished loading all the things onto the ship.
In addition to water and firewood, there is also food, and we only need to wait for the right time to pick vegetables.
At night, Shangguan Ziqi returned to the room where the couple lived with a hint of excitement.
"Is there something happy? You look very happy." Yu Yuanzheng asked.
"Hey, why does the room smell so good?" Shangguan Ziqi did not answer Yu Yuanzheng's question, but sniffed hard twice.
"Oh, it's the smell of burning oil lamps that are unique to the island."
"What do they use for lamp oil?" Shangguan Ziqi wondered.
"I used fish oil."
“I was wondering why there was a scent.
We transported supplies onto the boat in the afternoon, and the girls on the island were so welcoming.
The soldiers were so enthusiastic that they could not handle it and made some jokes. "
"Oh, I guess those older ones have never seen so many men in their lives, let alone the younger ones. Those girls must have been instructed by their elders to be so enthusiastic."
"Yes, indeed. There are only about ninety men on the island, and that includes the old man.
When the girls saw so many foreign soldiers, they all came to help.
When moving things, a few girls deliberately came very close, which made the young soldiers blush and panic. They wanted to stop them, but they couldn't push them away.
I had no choice but to let them do what they wanted. As a result, the girls carried more water than the soldiers throughout the afternoon. Everyone actively took out their own buckets to help fill and carry the water, and each one was stronger than the other.
Yu Yuanzheng couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this: "It seems that your arrival has added a lot of fun and excitement to this island. Alas, they have no men to rely on, and they rely on themselves for everything, so they are all very strong."
Shangguan Ziqi nodded, with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "That's right, some girls even dressed up specially, wearing dyed clothes and inserting some wild flowers in their hair, it seems that they are quite attentive.
However, their enthusiasm made our soldiers a little overwhelmed.
There was a young man who was being pulled by a girl by the arm. He got so nervous that he almost dropped the bucket in his hand, spilling water all over the floor, causing everyone to laugh. There was also a girl who was about 15 or 16 years old who killed a chicken at home, cooked it and brought it to one of the soldiers, forcing him to eat it. If he refused, she would cry.
"These girls rarely see men on weekdays. Now they see young and strong soldiers like you, so they are naturally a little excited. However, you also have to be careful not to cause any misunderstandings." Yu Yuanzheng reminded with a smile.
Shangguan Ziqi nodded: "Don't worry, I have already told them that everyone is here to carry out the mission and they must not lose their sense of proportion.
However, these girls did help us a lot. They helped us carry things and prepare supplies, which saved us a lot of effort. "
"The women on this island are hardworking and capable. The fertile fields we saw on the way here show how much labor is needed to grow them.
But there are few men, so they have to rely on themselves for their livelihood.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why they are so enthusiastic about us outsiders. The purpose may be to win the favor of the soldiers and eventually take them home. "
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.
The soldiers' camp was not far away.
Shangguan Ziqi walked to the window, opened it and looked out. He saw several girls surrounding several sailors, who seemed to be talking and laughing about something.
The sailors seemed a little embarrassed, but they did not want to reject the girls' wishes and could only smile awkwardly.
Yu Yuanzheng also came to the window and saw this scene. He couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that our soldiers can't rest in peace tonight."
Shangguan Ziqi shook his head helplessly: "Let them do whatever they want, as long as there is no trouble. However, we still have to continue to investigate the situation on the island tomorrow, and we can't delay too long."
Yu Yuanzheng nodded: "Yes, the environment and food problems on the island have not been fully investigated yet, we have to hurry up."
As they were talking, they suddenly heard a gentle knock on the door. Yu Yuanzheng walked over and opened the door, only to see Li Xiang and Tao Xiang standing outside with a plate of fresh fruit in their hands.
"Princess, this was sent by Granny Cui. Your Highness, please try it. This is a fruit unique to the island. They named it Spring Fruit." Lixiang said with a smile.
Yu Yuanzheng took the fruit and said with a smile, "They are very polite."
Tao Xiang blinked and said in a low voice, "Princess, you don't know, those girls are very enthusiastic. Just now, one girl secretly asked me if the soldiers on our ship could let her take one home."
Yu Yuanzheng and Shangguan Ziqi looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. It seemed that the girls on this island were really interested.
"It's time to go to bed early. We still have things to do tomorrow." Yu Yuanzheng said to the two maids.
Lixiang and Taoxiang responded and stepped back.
After they left, Shangguan Ziqi closed the door and said to Yu Yuanzheng with a smile, "It seems we have to leave here early, otherwise these girls may not be able to control their thoughts."
"Yeah, tomorrow we'll walk around the island and see if we can find out what the problem is."
The two smiled at each other, and had something in mind.
