As Ma Laozhang said, Fenghe Island has a harsh environment and lack of resources. Moreover, because it is often attacked by tides and sea winds, the buildings on the island are very dilapidated. It can be seen that their lives are very difficult.
Regardless of hardship or prosperity, according to Ma Laozhang, the residents on the island have existed for more than nearly a thousand years. They have reproduced from generation to generation to reach today's scale. This made Ye Dong couldn't help but sigh, manpower is really
Endless, no matter how difficult the environment is, you can survive tenaciously.
As we got closer and closer to home, Mr. Ma's steps became slower and slower, and in the end he even stopped. This made Ye Dong very puzzled: "My father-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Mr. Ma turned around, his eyes already wet: "Back then, hundreds of us left together, but now I'm the only one who's come back. I, I don't have the face to see them!"
Ye Dong reached out and patted Ma Laozhang on the shoulder comfortingly and said: "Lao Zhang, although this is indeed a tragic incident, I can't blame you at all, and you don't need to blame yourself too much!"
Mr. Ma wiped his face vigorously with his sleeve twice and then raised his head and said, "Brother Ye, can I ask you something?"
"Master, please tell me!"
Mr. Ma said a little embarrassedly: "Well, can you take some of the money given by the president and give it to the families of my fellow villagers who died?"
As for the thousand taels of silver, Ye Dong had already told Mr. Ma that it was for him, and he was just keeping it for him. After all, he couldn't fly with the money, but Mr. Ma firmly disagreed and insisted on Ye Dong taking it all.
Now that he was about to return home and face his neighbors, Mr. Ma felt really guilty, so he had to think about the money.
Ye Dong smiled slightly and nodded and said: "My father-in-law, I said that the money was originally given to you, and you can use it freely."
"Brother Ye, thank you, thank you!"
Ye Dong deliberately reached out and took out his ears and said: "Mr. Ma, along the way, just hearing the word "thank you" makes my ears almost calloused!"
"Haha!" Mr. Ma laughed honestly.
With the compensation of silver, Mr. Ma felt a lot better, so he took Ye Dong and continued walking forward. Soon, a small town appeared in front of him.
Even though Howajima is just an isolated island, it is at least as big as two cities, so the island is also divided into towns and villages.
The place where Mr. Ma lives is a small town, a bit similar to Qiuye Town, so this makes Ye Dong feel deeply in his heart. He has been away from home for a long time. If he can still go back this time, he will definitely
I want to go home and stay for a while, spend time with my relatives, and not go anywhere.
It was already late at night, and the town was pitch dark. Everyone must have fallen asleep, but when Mr. Ma stood at the entrance of the town, he was stunned, turning his head and looking around, muttering to himself.
He said: "Hey, why has it changed so much? Where is the blacksmith shop at the entrance of the town? And the big locust tree, why is it gone?"
Ye Dong stood behind his father-in-law and looked at the town, but he felt an ominous premonition in his heart, but he did not say it out loud.
While muttering in his mouth, the old man stepped forward and walked into this strange yet familiar town, arriving in front of a dilapidated building.
Seeing this building, the old man showed an expression of relief on his face. Obviously, this should be his home, and nothing much has changed.
However, just when the father-in-law was about to knock on the door, Ye Dong suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his arm, shook his head at him and said: "I, father-in-law, wait!"
In fact, not only was there no one in this house, Ye Dong had been following behind his father-in-law just now. He had already had a panoramic view of the entire town with his spiritual consciousness, and found that the entire town was like a dead town. It was too quiet.
There wasn't even a sound, and there was no one living there at all.
Originally, Ye Dong didn't want to say it. After all, the old man had just returned home. He couldn't bear to let the old man's hopeful heart be hit, so it might be better to let him find out by himself. But for some reason, when Ma Laozhang reached out and wanted to
When he went to knock on the door, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart, which left him no time to think about it, so he hurriedly stopped Mr. Ma.
Ma Laozhang looked at Ye Dong with a blank face, obviously not understanding why Ye Dong stopped him, but he knew that Ye Dong must have a purpose in doing so, and he also regarded Ye Dong as a god in his mind, so he did not
angry.
Ye Dong smiled slightly and said: "My father-in-law, don't worry, wait until I take a look!"
After finishing speaking, Ye Dong made a gesture to Red Wolf, and the latter immediately walked to Ma Laozhang's side, with the hair on his small body standing on end.
Ye Dong walked to the door and stood less than half a meter away. He did not rush to open the door, but stood there, closed his eyes, and endlessly magnified his spiritual consciousness, even the five acupuncture points related to the five senses.
There was a vague spiritual energy overflowing from them.
With the current strength of Ye Dong's spiritual consciousness, under normal conditions, as long as the spiritual consciousness is released, even the slightest sound, movement and fluctuation of spiritual energy cannot be escaped, but now his spiritual consciousness clearly senses everything in the room.
No, but he kept thinking about the warning signs in his heart, so he was so careful, raised his spiritual awareness to the highest level, and carefully checked the situation in the house.
This method was indeed effective, and the situation in the house was revealed bit by bit in his spiritual consciousness.
The house was not large, with only two rooms and a kitchen. The furniture inside was very ordinary, but it was covered with dust. It looked like no one had lived in it for a long time, and there was nothing special about it.
Ye Dong looked at it and wondered in his heart, how could such an ordinary place give him warning signs?
However, he believed in the warning sign in his heart, because this warning sign had saved his life several times, and this town was also a bit weird.
Although Ma Laozhang has been away from home for more than four years, there may be some changes in the family or even the neighbors may move away, but if the whole town is empty like this, and the buildings in the town are beyond recognition, there must be something wrong.
!
If it weren't for some irresistible natural disaster, no one would be willing to leave their hometown. Besides, this is just an island with a limited area. Where can it be moved?
As Ye Dong's spiritual consciousness continued to go deeper, he finally came to the back room and saw a bed with a vague black shadow on the bed. At first, Ye Dong thought it was just a quilt. However, when his spiritual consciousness finally got close to the black shadow, he
Suddenly, I discovered that the dark figure was actually a person!
