Everyone walked along a rugged road, and what they saw along the way gave people a deep understanding of what kind of place this place was.
I could see the grass swaying on the left side of the grass. If I looked carefully, I could see naked men and women rolling among them, and there were faint sounds of moaning and screaming.
Five men were hanging from some large locust trees on the right.
These five people all had their ears, nose, and tongue cut off, and their eyes were closed tightly. If they hadn't moved occasionally, they would have been thought to be five corpses.
This is a place that cannot be covered by royal laws, where the evil of human nature is fully unleashed. Everyone entering and leaving the island has sharp weapons hanging from their waists, and their faces look fierce.
This is the world of the strong, where the weak eat the strong. Killing here is neither illegal nor punishable.
If someone without any skills comes here, it will be a luxury to hope to leave here alive.
Everyone is wary of each other.
In order to prevent others from thinking wrongly about them, everyone will show their most ferocious expression to deter others from doing stupid things.
Pirates like He Lan Minzhi have been in and out of Changye Island for a long time, so naturally no one dares to provoke them.
However, along the way, many people would look at them twice.
Because they are too short.
At this moment, a dozen big men in dark blue military uniforms suddenly walked towards them. The leader was dragging something in his right hand.
When he got closer, he saw that the person he was dragging was actually a woman. The man grabbed the woman's hair and dragged her to the ground like a dead dog.
The woman struggled desperately and shouted for help, but she could not move the big man's iron-like hands, and no one responded to her call for help.
He Lanmin was naturally romantic and could not see such a thing, so he immediately said: "Master Sha, don't you think it is too rude for you to treat such a beauty like this?"
The man's name was Sha Yuanming, the leader of the Sea Shark Gang. Half of his left ear was missing, and he only had four fingers on his right hand. A scar extended from his right ear to his left lip, making him look particularly ferocious.
If Ouyang Chong were here, Sha Yuanming might be a little more wary.
But He Lanmin's martial arts skills were low and he had no reputation, so Sha Yuanming did not take him seriously.
Sha Yuanming put a little more force on his hands and said coldly: "I bought this woman with money. It's not your turn to meddle in my own business."
When the woman heard someone speaking for her, she looked up and saw that the speaker was a brave young master. She immediately shouted: "Sir, save me!"
Her words immediately angered Sha Yuanming.
"You bitch, do you think I'm ugly and have fallen in love with this pretty boy?" Sha Yuanming grabbed the woman's throat with his giant palm and lifted him up.
The woman struggled desperately, but her neck was strangled and she couldn't even speak.
He Lan Minzhi frowned and said: "Panel Master Sha, what are you doing? Beating a woman is not a hero!"
It was a good thing that he didn't plead for mercy. This opening made Sha Yuanming even more angry. He exerted force on his hand and with a click, the woman's neck was broken.
Sha Yuanming casually threw the woman's body on the roadside and looked at He Lan Minzhi coldly. He wanted to cause trouble for him, but he was afraid of Ouyang Chong's revenge.[space]
Suddenly, he noticed Inukai Nanyi next to He Lan Minzhi. His heart moved and he said with a ferocious smile: "Brother He Min, who is this little guy next to you? Why haven't you seen him before? Why don't you introduce him to me?"
Helan Minzhi frowned and said: "Master Sha, this is the Japanese general. Please be more polite."
Hall Master Sha pointed at Inukai Nanoi and smiled at the people around him: "Oh, he is still a Japanese general. I am so scared, Mr. Sha!"
At this moment, a cold light flashed through, and the finger pointed at Inukai Oi by Master Sha suddenly flew into the air.
"Ah! My hand!"
Hall Master Sha let out a scream like that of a slaughtered pig, and his cloudy eyes were instantly filled with fear.
Sha Yuanming always felt that his martial arts was good, but at that moment, he couldn't see the trajectory of the sword's path.
All I know is that the person who cut off his finger was a man in white next to Inukai Oyori.
That man was different from the short Japanese people next to him.
She is about the same height as an ordinary Tang Dynasty person. She is wearing a white skirt that resembles a woman's clothes. She holds a long black sword in her right hand, and the tip of the sword is dripping with blood.
That's his blood.
"Get out!" Inukao Oi spat out one word coldly.
Although Sha Yuanming loves to cause trouble, he also has one advantage: he can stretch and bend.
If not for this, he wouldn't be alive now.
Without saying a word, he led his men towards the dock and walked a long distance before he dared to stop and bandage his wounds.
…
Although Changye Island is just an overseas desert island, the surrounding area looks barren, with only yellow sand and bare walls.
However, it is very large.
Of the four sides of the island, namely the southeast, northwest and northwest, only the north is open to the outside.
There are many wooden houses and stone caves built in the west. As long as you pay a fee, you can live in them for a long time.
To the east is a piece of farmland, inhabited by all followers of the Fire Phoenix Society. To the south is the core area of the Fire Phoenix Society's main altar, which is heavily guarded.
In the open area to the north, there is a cross street.
There are clothing stores, pharmacies, and inns on the streets, but the prices are several times more expensive than inland.
Longming Inn is located at the intersection of Cross Street.
This inn is not only the best inn on the island, but also the most expensive. It costs a lot of money to stay in a room for one night, which is more than ten times more expensive than in ordinary county towns.
It was already dusk at this time, which was the busiest time at Longming Inn. Most of the tables in the lobby and dining room were occupied by guests.
The two waiters were sweating profusely from exhaustion. After Inukai Oi entered the inn, his ears were suddenly filled with loud noises.
The guests in the hall seemed to be competing with each other about whose voice was louder, one was noisier than the other.
"Is this the best inn you said?" Inukai Oi asked, staring at a table covered with oil.
Not only are the tables dirty here, the walls and floors are also messy, and there is a strong smell in the air.
It was the smell of foot odor, sweat odor and rotten food mixed together, which was nauseating.
As soon as the man in white beside Inukai Oi entered the door, he covered his nose with a handkerchief.
Helan Minzhi also covered his nose and said: "Brother Inuyang, let's just do it. Other places are not as good as here."
"Didn't you say there is a place to live on this island? Why don't you take me there?" Inukai Oi asked.
Helan Minzhi explained: "We live in a wooden house on the west side of the island. It is spacious, but there is neither wine nor meat, and the food is only dry food. Let's wait here for the deputy chief."
Inukai Nanyi rolled his eyes and said: "I used to hear from the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty that you people in the Tang Dynasty have a good life, but when I see you today, you are not as good as our Japanese country."
He Lanmin was speechless: "How can this kind of life on a desert island overseas represent the living standards of the Tang Dynasty?"
Not bothering to argue, he found a table and sat down.
At the same time, on the pier, a small boat slowly came.
Several members of the Fire Phoenix Club who were guarding the dock saw that the boat was a bit unfamiliar, and they immediately looked wary and watched the boat closely.
Soon, three men got off the boat, two old men and a young man.
After seeing the old man in the middle, the two people's expressions suddenly relaxed. They were very familiar with the person coming.
One person greeted warmly: "Your Excellency Ouyang, you are back."
Ouyang Chong gave a faint hum and silently led the two people behind him towards the island.
The young man on his left has a pockmarked face, and the old man on his right has a gray beard. They are Zhuge Sanyuan and his son in disguise.
It was already late at night, and the crescent moon was like a hook, shining dimly on the gravel path.
Along the way, everyone who sees Ouyang Chong will subconsciously take two steps back.
The three of them went straight to Longming Inn and entered the lobby.
Helan Minzhi, who was sitting in the hall, stood up immediately and said happily: "Deputy chief, you are back."
Ouyang Chong walked over and said with a gloomy face: "He's not dead at last." He turned to Inukai Nanyi and said, "General Inukai, long time no see."
Inukai'o got straight to the point and asked, "How is the drug research going?"
Ouyang Chong looked around and said, "Go to the guest room to talk."
When he went upstairs, Helan Minzhi looked at Zhuge Sanyuan and Zhuge Nan and asked, "Deputy leader, who are these two? Why haven't I seen them before?"
Ouyang Chong said: "This is Brother Zhu and his disciple. If Brother Zhu hadn't saved me this time, I wouldn't have been able to come back."
Zhuge Sanyuan smiled and said: "Brother Ouyang is too polite, I just happened to meet you."
He Lan Minzhi nodded and did not dare to ask any more questions. He was not qualified to question Ouyang Chong.
