Chapter 149
"What are we doing? We must have a reason if we don't tell you. If you insist on asking, we have already been cursed by God, what else do you want us to do? More than thirty islanders in total! We have lost more than thirty people! If we don't kill them, they will kill everyone on our island! We have to do this even if it means God's judgment!" Master Wang ran away first, then found that everyone in this room was either his own islanders or his benefactors. He had no place to vent his anger, so he could only wave his right hand fiercely, and then squatted on the ground and cried weakly.
Pei Hong had just come in and didn't know what was going on, so he could only look at Qiao Sheng.
Qiao Sheng opened his mouth and felt like he couldn't say anything. If he said it wasn't God's will, he was afraid that these islanders would be reckless in the future. If he said it was God's will, it was not easy for these people to lose their loved ones and encounter disasters
. "Everything will pass. The dead are dead. The living should look forward. Anyway, the two people are dead and their heads have been taken away. You remaining people should live well to be worthy of the more than 30 islanders who have died." Qiao Sheng felt that his words were dry and superficial.
Unexpectedly, the three islanders in front of him all cried uncontrollably.
"Don't worry about your future life. Brother Pei will bring people to help you build some wooden houses. We will also leave some food for you. We will definitely not let you starve to death. In the future... everything will be fine." Seeing them like this, Qiao Sheng exchanged glances with Pei Hong and still made a promise.
He patted Qing Wan's shoulder, left the shelter to the aborigines, and went out with Pei Hong.
He found Li Mu and told her what Qing Wan told her.
"Is it really God's punishment? Killing people will be punished by God? Do you have to be so fantasy?" Pei Hong was a little confused after hearing this, not knowing whether to believe it or not.
"It shouldn't be a curse from heaven. It's an earthquake. According to what the woman in labor said, our ancestors said that taking away human heads could eliminate curses from heaven. How come the heads were taken away and there was an earthquake? It's all just a coincidence. I guess something happened on this island in the past, and they made up this ancestral precept to stop the islanders from killing each other." Li Mu shook his head, refusing to believe this.
"I thought it was the rules of the game NPCs at first, but then I thought about it, it's really a chain reaction. First of all, you can't kill people. If you kill people, you have to stay away from the island. Isn't this a rule for the islanders? If something goes wrong, once the murderer leaves, everyone will immediately know who the criminal is. Even if he comes back, other NPCs will be alert. I have to say that their ancestors have some logic and reasoning in this area." Qiao Sheng also expressed his thoughts.
"Hey, that's just a coincidence. I was wondering why the game rules only apply to the islanders of this island, and why the two who killed people at the beginning didn't suffer punishment from heaven." Pei Hong suddenly realized.
"Not necessarily, Brother Pei, think about it, it is reasonable to say that killing someone is God's punishment, after all, they were killed in the end, so this closed loop makes sense." Li Mu patted his shoulder, raised his lips and nodded.
"Is it God's will or coincidence?" Pei Hong was completely confused.
"Whether it is God's will or coincidence, let these NPCs worry about it. Didn't you see that I didn't mention this in the shelter? After all, this law of God's will is also very good, which can prevent the islanders from killing each other." Qiao Sheng rarely saw such a confused expression on the face of this decisive Captain Pei.
Pei Hong gave up thinking about this matter. Anyway, it had nothing to do with them. It didn't matter what it was. The important thing was that they could withdraw after building the house.
After Pei Hong left to help build the house, Qiao Sheng told Li Mu about the black water in the back mountain. It was not that she did not believe in Pei Hong, but there were too many people behind him. If there was any selfish person, it would bring a big blow to the island.
"Mostly it's oil, we don't need it. When I take people into the forest to cut wood later, I will bypass the back mountain." Li Mu knew what it was as soon as he heard it. "
I think so too. Brother Pei's side is purely manpower. We are better than them. We have entered the steam age. No one needs oil. There is no need to compete with a group of NPCs for this." After saying this, Qiao Sheng said that he had to go back to the ship to continue being a farmer, and promised to give some food to Mr. Wang and them.
We couldn't just watch these dozens of elderly, weak, women and children who were rescued with great difficulty starve to death again. Before leaving, Qiao Sheng checked the system. It was very good, 99%, just one step away. She also asked Li Mu to help think about where else the completion rate could be increased before leaving. In
the next three days, the flow rate on the boat was not adjusted to normal. Qiao Sheng really kept planting, harvesting once an hour, except for the eight hours of sleep at night, almost 16 rounds a day.
Three days later, Li Mu told her that the wooden house was built, and it was built very delicately. For the sake of completion, he even suggested building ten.
After Qiao Sheng checked, she told him with regret that it was still 99% after three days. She had no choice but to take the potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and cabbage she planted to try to increase it to the 1%.
Li Mu was still worried that all vegetarian food was not enough, so he took another 20 fish, some meaty and some vegetarian. They really tried their best.
Facts have proved that it was this last step. When Qiao Sheng handed all the food to Master Wang, the system finally told her what she wanted to hear most [Completion 100%], and she felt relieved. Before
leaving, Master Wang gave Qiao Sheng and Pei Hong each a clay pot. Seeing that the two did not dare to take it and looked a little nervous, he knew that the two had misunderstood.
"They are not ashes, but clay pots that look very similar. I buried the two ashes in the back mountain. They were going there in the first place. Burying them there is also a way to fulfill their wishes. This is the treasure in our back mountain. I will give you one pot each." Qiao Sheng hid it for a long time, but Master Wang was furious after just a few words. Fortunately, Pei Hong was not such a greedy person.
Their handover was also in a corner, and did not attract the attention of other team members. When they were about to leave, Master Wang asked Qiao Sheng to go to the shelter to talk to Qing Wan. She had been thinking about her for several days.
Qiao Sheng went there and found that it was not a conversation at all. It was clearly an NPC who gave out rewards privately. Qing Wan took two jade pendants, one for Grandma Chu and one for her, but poor Fang Yueyi, who was busy running around, got nothing.
"Don't refuse. This is a token of our love. We originally wanted to wait until we were old and bury it together. Now it's no longer necessary. He left too early, but fortunately he left Zhensheng for me. Keeping this thing here reminds me of him, and life will be more difficult. You taking it away is also a favor to me. If you can't see it, you won't think about it. I am a mother now. I not only have to live my own life, but also have to support Zhensheng." Qing Wan's expression changed from loneliness at the beginning to firmness.
Qiao Sheng was blocked by these words. He had to take it. He felt a little uneasy if he took the token of love. After thinking about it, he took out two bottles of Baibaodan from his wrist bag. It was difficult to raise a child without bumps and bruises. Leaving two bottles of medicine to her was like saving her life.
"Keep this thing. Bleeding, internal injuries, external injuries, as long as there is still breath, it can be cured." Qiao Sheng handed the bottle to her, and then quietly told her how to use it. Finally, he reminded her that wealth should not be revealed. Think about the black water in the back mountain, and remember it.
Seeing Qing Wan nodded solemnly and stuffed the two bottles of Baibaodan into her clothes, Qiao Sheng said goodbye to her with peace of mind.
When they reached the shore, Li Mu secretly sent some food to Pei Hong to thank him for his efforts. Pei Hong was still unwilling to take it. Li Mu was simple. When he stuffed it into his hand, he told him not to ask him for food when he was short of food in the future. Knowing that this was a wealthy family and was not short of such a small amount of food, Pei Hong decided to accept it.
He said thank you brother and wanted to hug him, but Li Mu pushed him away and told him not to be so mushy.
Qiao Sheng brought the jade pendant area to Grandma Chu on the boat and took out the jade pendant for them to choose first. Grandma Chu said no, it was just a matter of helping, and there was no need to accept such expensive things.
"Grandma Chu, this is a reward from the NPC, not a reward from someone in real life. Hey, Wanyou, come and explain it to grandma." Qiao Sheng felt that Grandma Chu might not understand that playing the game well could get hidden rewards.
"What?" Chu Wanyou saw that Qiao Sheng was looking for grandma, so she didn't come over. Now she heard her shouting and came over to understand, and she was about to jump up: "Hidden reward! My God, what kind of shit luck are we! Oh, my dear grandma, now is not the time for you to be selfless. It turns out that the old ones are still the best. As soon as my grandma makes a move, I know whether it is effective or not!"
Chu Wanyou happily hugged grandma and jumped up and down. Grandma Chu was so excited that she was left with only ouch. Qiao Sheng grabbed her and grabbed her. If she jumped again, she was afraid that Grandma Chu would fall apart.
Finally, it was one of the jade pendants that Chu Wanyou chose. Although Grandma Chu approved of the hidden reward, she still felt bad for letting her choose.
"By the way, have you and Wen Yizhou decided to join Pei Hong's fleet?" Qiao Sheng put away the other jade pendant and then remembered this.
"Yes, I think it's good to support Captain Pei. I heard that Xiao Zhengxi from their fleet has been following the fleet. There are children and elderly people in the team. I think it's okay to follow such a fleet that will not give up. You also know that it's hard for me and Brother Wen to survive without a backer as we have families." Chu Wanyou shrugged.
She really felt that she and Wen Yizhou were too worried to leave grandma, sister Ji and Wen Ning on the shore every time, and go ashore to collect things together. They were afraid that something unexpected would happen again. That time, they almost lost their courage.
"I think it's okay. If it weren't because we are used to traveling alone, we would definitely find a fleet like Pei Hong. They are humane and most of the people in the fleet are pretty decent. You can also hang out with Fang Yueyi and the others. She is also a violent girl. You two should have a lot in common." Qiao Sheng felt that their decision was right.
When a person's strength is not enough, it is wise to find someone to rely on, especially when their weakness is their family. If she were to bring the elderly or children into this game, she would definitely have to take a different route.
Qiao Sheng and his crew were on the same island as Pei Hong's fleet. They stayed there for more than a week, doing all the hard work. They both felt exhausted, but the rewards they received were enough, so it was worth it
