Chapter 63 Gray Island
"Why are you so far away contracting the sea area?" The village chief slapped Yin Dong in the face and cursed: "Aren't you stupid? It's not like there isn't any sea area close to our village. It's enough for you to contract, so why do you insist?
To run that far?”
"I'm not just for the long-term development of the village! When the town's pier is repaired and the village is close to the sea, the emperor's daughter will not have to worry about marrying. It will be easier to attract investors and sell at a high price. Besides, offshore
The sea far away is so cheap. I am raising scallops anyway, and I don’t need to take as much care as raising fish. I can just go there every few days.”
As he spoke, he deliberately said: "I originally wanted to go to Gray Island and the surrounding waters, which are closer to the village, but Lao Chen from the Ocean Bureau wouldn't let me choose that island."
"We can't have that island!"
The village chief was so anxious that he threw another strong stick on Yin Dong's head, stared at him fiercely and warned: "Listen to me, stay away from Gray Island in the future, and stay away, especially if you see the gray fog.
When your parents died in that area, I didn’t even pick up their bodies for them. Don’t go looking for death, because I don’t want to pick up your bodies from that place again!”
Yin Dong's heart was severely hammered, and he calmed down before asking: "Why did my parents die on Gray Island? It's not that they died on Heritou Island in the west because of the strong wind and waves.
,This direction is completely wrong? It’s so far away!”
After a long silence, the village chief said solemnly: "Your parents' pension was allocated by the higher-ups and distributed by the town. The higher-ups didn't want the news about Hai Dao to be exposed, so they changed their story. Before your father's accident,
He called me and told me that the ghost ship had appeared and that he wanted to take a detour, but the wind and waves were too strong and rolled the ship towards Gray Island."
These words made Yin Dong's throat go dry. He swallowed twice and said urgently: "So, my parents are not necessarily dead. Maybe they were just sucked into the gray fog and went to an unknown place."
This is the place, right?"
"You kid, don't be stupid!" the village chief exclaimed in shock. From Yin Dong's words, he felt that this kid wanted to go into the gray mist to find his parents, so he hurriedly warned him, but God knows whether it would be useful.
"I know, Uncle Village Chief, how can a smart person like me do stupid things?" After Yin Dong said that, he ran away quickly and did not find Mr. Lin under the old jujube tree in the yard. Mr. Lin stood quietly with a look in his eyes.
Deep and dark, with a very strange expression.
Yin Dong went home and told Gu Wen about contracting the sea area. Gu Wen was taking Xiaobao to dig an ant nest. He waved his hands without raising his head and said, "You can use the money in the card as you wish. You don't need to tell me. Anyway, I
You contribute the money, you contribute the effort, we will do business together, we will split the profits equally, and any losses will be mine."
"It would be great if investors have your awareness." Yin Dong said with a smile. He did not say that it would be impossible to lose money in setting up this scallop farm. There is no trouble in raising fish, and the water quality in the sea area he contracted is good. As long as it is
Once he reaches a large scale, he will definitely make a lot of money. With his relationship with Gu Wen, it goes without saying.
Gu Wen chuckled and said to Xiaobao: "Son, let your dad catch fish and raise us two from now on, okay?"
Xiaobao responded directly with a paw, slapped Gu Wen's mouth with a crisp sound, and shouted angrily: "No!"
"I'll leave you speechless." Yin Dong smiled and shook his head, then went into the kitchen to cook dinner.
In the yard, Gu Wen was still teasing Xiaobao: "Your dad has used up all my money. If he doesn't support me, let him pay me back!"
"Money?" Xiaobao muttered with his little head tilted, as if he thought for a moment, then grinned mischievously, stretched out the branch that had poked the ant nest towards Gu Wen, and said, "Eat!"
"I'll choke you! Your little thing is too dark, so I'll give it to the ants to eat." Gu Wen smiled and patted Xiaobao's butt. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Mr. Lin and the village chief outside the gate, and said
: "I have millions in my card, and your father has squandered them all. You have to give me fish to eat. I won't eat ants. If you don't give me fish to eat, I'll pay you back!"
Xiaobao shrugged his shoulders, threw away the branch, dug his little paws into his pockets, then spread his palms, pouted and said: "No money."
"Oh my god! Dongzi, come and see where this kid learned this trick. He's so good!" Gu Wen exclaimed, looking at this little guy like a god.
"Why are you so crazy about yelling!" Yin Dong said, and walked out. He saw Mr. Lin standing at the gate thoughtfully, and hurriedly walked over and said hello: "Mr. Lin
, are you always wandering around?"
Mr. Lin took a deep look at Yin Dong, his expression was complicated in a way that he didn't understand, which made him a little uneasy, and asked again: "Why don't you come in and sit down?"
"Have you been to Gray Island and seen the ghost ship in the gray fog?" Mr. Lin said coldly, with a gloomy tone in his tone.
Yin Dong felt inexplicably uneasy and felt a chill on his back. He felt that something was wrong with Mr. Lin's expression, so he firmly denied: "Are you telling a fantasy story? There is no such thing as a ghost ship in the gray fog. Gray Island is just a deserted island.
Our village is not very far, so you can go back and ask Brother Haichao to drive you there by speedboat."
"You're lying, you've seen it." Mr. Lin finished speaking coldly, and without waiting for Yin Dong to defend, he added: "The day you and Qiu Ying took your two children to sea, you both saw the ghost ship in the gray fog."
"You have inquired very carefully." Yin Dong did not deny it, and the look on his face showed dissatisfaction, "You are so old, but you are still making excuses in the mouth of such a young girl. It is really amazing."
"How are you sure it wasn't Qiu Ying who told me?" Mr. Lin asked, in a somewhat aggressive tone, "What did you ask her to hide for you?"
Yin Dong could feel a kind of hostility from the old man, and the old man's attitude was too strong, which made him unhappy. He frowned and said: "Those who do scientific research are all madmen. The gray fog looks very weird. Qiu Ying is afraid
You went to study Qiu Wu when you were old. If something happened, she would feel bad. I helped her hide it. So, if she doesn't say it, I won't say it. My son can't tell it, and only Lanzi can tell it.
Okay, this is so simple, what else am I not sure about?"
"You contracted that sea area just to monitor Gray Island nearby, so you know the secret of Gray Island." Mr. Lin said, his old eyes burst out with sharp edges, and he stared at Yin Dong, not letting go of any change in his expression.
Yin Dong shrugged nonchalantly and said: "Old man, you are indeed a scientific researcher. Your imagination is too broad. I haven't read much, so I really don't understand what you are talking about.
Mr. Lin stared at him sadly for a long time, which made him feel frightened, and then he said, "Send me to Gray Island tomorrow."
Yin Dong was really unfazed by the old man's commanding tone and simply refused: "No time. Also, the liaison between our village and the Galaxy Group is Wang Haichao. Please ask him to take you there."
"I can make it impossible for you to pass the approval process," Mr. Lin threatened.
"Whatever, I don't have to contract the sea area for breeding anyway. Just go out to sea and catch fish, that's enough." Yin Dong said nonchalantly, with some impatience. But this was just a pretense, for fear of being seen by Mr. Lin.
It turns out that he actually attaches great importance to that sea area.
After saying that, he ignored Mr. Lin and went directly back to the kitchen to cook.
