The human race that was originally almost extinct in the East China Sea has gradually increased in number, but it is not yet a phenomenon.
Wan Lei's destination this time is a small island not far north of Penglai Island in the middle of the East China Sea.
Lixi Island.
Wan Lei's airship suddenly appeared over the East China Sea and hovered in mid-air.
He opened the electronic map carried on the airship and after locating it, he found that he was not far from Lixi Island.
Just five thousand miles south.
He changed into casual clothes inside the airship, the blue robe he liked to wear on weekdays.
After all, this mission has already been explained. If you go to secretly investigate the truth, you will naturally not be able to wear the clothes of a disciple of the Five Elements Palace.
After coming out, he put away the airship and suppressed the fluctuations in his cultivation to the level of the foundation building stage.
According to the intelligence, the strongest person on the island is just a foundation builder.
The vast majority of the population of more than 10,000 are mortals.
Flying all the way south, when Wan Lei could see Lixi Island in the distance, he slowed down and pretended to be a real foundation-building monk.
Looking at this small island from a high altitude, it can be seen that the island is surrounded by lush forests and seaside plants, and small beasts sometimes appear and rush by.
In the middle of the island is a basin. There are many low-rise bungalow buildings in the basin. There are only a few two-story buildings in the center.
This is a small town, and the town is bustling with people. In the morning, people who come out to work are in small groups, talking and laughing. Some woodcutters are holding sickles and entering the woods with their companions.
Smoke rose from the restaurants in the town, and the children happily ran to the school in the middle of the town carrying their schoolbags.
What a happy scene in paradise.
With a kind smile on his lips, Wan Lei landed at the northern end of the town and strolled towards the town.
The intelligence said that some kind of human experiment seemed to be going on here, but after observing, he didn't find anything abnormal, so he decided to go down and take a closer look.
He walked slowly forward and met a few woodcutters who had just left the town.
"foreigner?"
A woodcutter looked at Wan Lei, looking up and down, with only curiosity in his eyes, no hostility or vigilance.
"Ah, yes."
Wan Lei nodded with a smile and was already on guard.
It was obvious that the other party was just a mortal and he was an immortal, but it was he who was vigilant and alert.
There was nothing that could be done about it. The intelligence said there was some kind of conspiracy here. So when he came in, the person behind it must have discovered it. He had to be alert to any sudden dangers.
Who knows if the woodcutters in front of me are just pretending.
"Haha, from the look of you, you must be a scholar. There are not many scholars on the island near us. It would be great if you could stay here and teach the children how to read. What do you want to do in our town?"
Wan Lei smiled,
"I'm not a scholar, I'm a monk, just passing by."
"Ah? Monk, that's disrespectful. Then go talk to our mayor. He is also a monk. You two can probably chat together."
The woodcutter pointed to the two-story building in the center of the town.
"The mayor is right there."
"Okay, thank you very much."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
After paying the courtesy, Wan Lei strolled towards the town.
He walked very slowly and observed the town very carefully.
As soon as he entered the town, Wan Lei saw two shops. The one on the left sold firewood. There was a pile of dry firewood piled at the door. A gray-haired old lady sat there with a smile, waiting for customers to come.
The one on the right sells fish. This town is surrounded by the sea. I think the aquatic industry will develop very well.
There were strips of pickled salted fish hanging on the shelves at the door. The chopping board was stained with blood and there were a lot of various fishes. Three waiters were working hard to chop the fish into pieces. The owner of the fish shop was smiling.
Wandering in front of the shop, I watched the guys working with satisfaction and urged them from time to time.
A lively and peaceful atmosphere.
Such an atmosphere made Wan Lei feel better, and he continued walking forward.
People were coming and going on the roadside. Occasionally, someone glanced at Wan Lei without revealing anything strange, and then went about their business in a hurry.
Not far ahead, I saw a young mother sitting in front of a house, breastfeeding her infant baby.
Wan Lei was startled for a moment, are the folk customs so open now?
When the young mother saw Wan Lei staring straight at her, her face turned slightly red, and her hands holding the child tightened, blocking the white snow.
Wan Lei quickly turned his eyes away, feeling sorry in his heart.
Continuing to walk forward, the bluestone slabs on the road were a little slippery because they were wetted by the early morning dew, but the permeated water vapor made people feel refreshed.
Not far ahead, there is a breakfast shop. The steamer is placed at the door. White smoke is coming out, and a young woman is greeting the guests in front of her.
The woman opened the steamer, took out a variety of flower rolls, steamed buns and steamed buns, and handed them to the different guests in front of her. She then took a few copper plates from each other's hands with a smile and threw them casually into the basket hanging aside.
inside.
In the breakfast room, there was a man stirring a large pot of spicy soup.
The aroma of steamed buns and spicy soup penetrated Wan Lei's nose, and he involuntarily stopped at the door of the breakfast shop.
"Hey, the guest looks strange. Are you hungry? What would you like?"
The young woman asked Wan Lei with a smile.
Impressed by the other party's enthusiasm and the aroma of the food, Wan Lei also wanted to follow the local customs and have something to eat.
It had been too many years since he had eaten properly.
"Two steamed buns and a bowl of soup."
"Okay."
The woman opened the steamer drawer and gave Wan Lei a bun. Wan Lei picked out a piece of broken silver from the storage bag and handed it to the woman.
"Oh, this is impossible. Where can I find it? Five copper coins are enough. Your two coins are too much."
When the woman saw this, she waved her hands repeatedly.
"I don't have copper coins, I only have silver. Just accept it."
"Forget it, I won't charge you any money. You can eat. If you come to our place early in the morning, you must be on a late night journey. You must be hungry. The people in our small town are not the ones who care about it. Eat quickly.
.”
Confiscating Wan Lei's money, the woman gave Wan Lei the buns, then turned around and gave him spicy soup.
Wan Lei took the opportunity to throw the broken silver into the basket next to him.
The man inside made a bowl of soup and handed it to the woman. The woman took the soup and the man took the opportunity to touch her hand and then smiled.
The woman glared at him and took a sip, but a smile appeared on her lips involuntarily.
Wan Lei saw this scene and shook his head. He hadn't even eaten yet, he was fed dog food first.
Sitting on the stool next to him, Wan Lei ate happily.
