Volume 1 In the World Chapter 141: Southern Japanese
The big boat slowly docked on the coast, and the three of them discovered that what they had arrived was not an uninhabited island. Like the land of Bachuan, fishermen could be seen working everywhere on the coast of this island, most of them men.
, they are all short in stature, with dark complexions, their bare upper bodies are covered with various tattoos, and their lower bodies are only covered by grass skirts. They are all barefoot when working on the shore, and they look very simple. Among them, there are only two or three women.
, under the bright sun, wearing a raincoat, but it can only cover the upper body.
People who were living a normal life at the beach saw Xiao He and others driving a magnificent ship to the shore. They all put down their work and moved closer to the ship. However, they obviously did not dare to get close. They all stuck their heads out and hid in the fishing nets.
Or peek behind the trees.
Looking at everyone, Xiao He felt a little confused about whether to laugh or cry, so he asked: "Brother Dugu, isn't this the destination of our trip?"
Dugu Huntian shook his head and said: "Probably not. According to the description of the family's high priest, it is an uninhabited island, extremely far away from the mainland. The small island in front of you has obviously had human life since ancient times."
Xiao He smiled bitterly and said: "Looking at the group of people in front of me, it seems like they are still living in ancient times."
Dugu Huntian replied: "It's no wonder. After all, such a small island is far away from the mainland and has no contact with the outside world. Naturally, it has been living for hundreds of years."
"They seem to be observing us?" Dugu Yixue whispered.
"Let's go. We'll make peace with you now that we've arrived. Let's get off the boat! We'll just rest for a while and then leave here." Dugu Huntian said.
Xiao He and Dugu Yixue got off the boat together behind Dugu Huntian. The aborigines on the island were obviously still looking at them, and they were obviously a little timid. The more the three of them moved forward, the more the fishermen retreated.
Time left the three of them a little confused as to what to do.
After walking along the coastline for a while, Xiao He and Dugu Huntian's spiritual consciousness could almost cover the island. The island was extremely long and narrow, with only a small area of plains visible around it. The central area was mountainous, and the terrain was higher in the west and lower in the east. On the seaside, three
People also discovered a stone tablet, which was polished very smooth by the ebb and flow of the sea. The stone tablet was engraved with three characters: "Nanwa Island."
The handwriting is simple and ancient, and I don’t know who carved it.
The three of them walked along the seaside for a while, but found nothing more except the stone tablet, so they turned to the island.
Walking to the hinterland of the island, you can see scattered fishing villages. The houses of the fishermen are also very simple. Parents and children of each family live together in groups, not caring about the difference between men and women.
Such a primitive and barbaric scene made the three of them not very accustomed to it, so they quickly walked out of the fishing village. There was a winding path outside the fishing village. The three of them walked along it for a while, and suddenly they came face to face with a person who also had a dark tattoo like a local.
Seeing the three of them, he suddenly knelt down and bowed respectfully, which really shocked the three of them, but they did not speak.
The man kowtowed three times before standing up and said respectfully: "Are the three noble men from overseas?"
Xiao He looked down at the short man in front of him and said with a smile: "Looking at our clothes, it should be obvious, right?"
"Three nobles have come from afar. Our island owner would like to invite the three of them to our residence to show their friendship as landlords. I wonder if the three of you can show your respect and have a good time with me?"
Dugu Huntian and Xiao He looked at the man in front of them at the same time. Like the fishermen in Bachuan, he was just a mortal without any cultivation. The two looked at each other and immediately had a tacit understanding.
Dugu Huntian nodded and said, "Then please lead the way!"
The man bowed again and again, bent over and made a gesture of invitation, and then led the way.
Originally, the three of them just planned to rest on this uninhabited island for a night, replenish some fresh water and food, and continue their journey tomorrow. They never thought that they would accidentally stumble into such an isolated island, and at this time they were trapped by the island.
Although this was unexpected by the Lord, they were not worried. On such a small island, it was difficult for anyone with a higher cultivation level than them. Therefore, Dugu Huntian and Xiao He both felt that there should be no danger on this small island.
.
The three of them followed the fishermen in front of them along the narrow path, and after passing through a cherry blossom forest, they finally saw a building with a different style. It was an ancient house similar to the Central Plains architectural style, with cherry blossom trees on the left and right.
There are bells hanging at the four corners of the ancient house, and strange rocks are piled up around the outer walls, giving it a hermit-like feel.
In the courtyard, the residents of the island are busy, and they all seem to be serving the island owner in the ancient house.
The man turned around and said, "Three noble men, the island owner is waiting in the house!"
Dugu Huntian nodded slightly to the man, and the man immediately bowed again, stepped aside, and stood respectfully. The three of them ignored the man, pushed the door open, and entered the house.
The facilities in the ancient house are simple, but quite spacious. They are supported by four columns. The beams connected between the columns are actually engraved with flying dragons, which are lifelike. On the throne directly in front, an old man is sitting. When he sees the three people entering,
He greeted them with a smile and immediately raised his hand to signal the servants to bring in three tables and chairs. After Dugu Huntian took Xiao He and Dugu Yixue sat down, they couldn't help but look at the island owner.
The island owner has a well-proportioned figure, which is obviously different from the height of other islanders. Especially the clothes he wears are the same as those of mainland residents. It is obvious that, like the three of them, this island owner also comes from overseas.
"I never imagined that I could meet distinguished guests from the mainland on this small island!" the island owner said.
"What does the island master mean by this?" Dugu Huntian asked.
The island owner replied: "I also came to this island twenty years ago. All this time, not even a small boat has passed by here. I really can't wait to see it!"
"I heard from the island owner that you are also from the Central Plains?" Xiao He asked.
The island owner nodded and replied: "I am a fisherman from Bachuan. I encountered a storm when I went fishing alone. I thought I was going to die in the sea, but I didn't expect that my boat would sway along with the wind and waves, so I was lucky enough to stay afloat.
Only by going to this island can you save your life."
After hearing what the island owner said, Xiao He asked again: "Even if there is such a miracle, as a foreigner, how did you become the island owner?"
After hearing this, the island owner smiled and replied: "Although the Japanese slaves here are somewhat violent, they are simple-minded and easy to take advantage of. That's why I am lucky enough to become the owner of the island. This small mansion is all
The architectural style is the same as that of mainland China, and it is also a kind of nostalgia for my hometown!"
"Japanese slave?" Xiao He said hesitantly.
The island owner said disapprovingly: "This island is in the south of the mainland and is also called Nanwa Island. The residents here are naturally Japanese slaves."
"The three of us saw a stone tablet with the words "Nanwo Island" engraved on it on the shore. Was it you who erected it?" Dugu Huntian asked.
But the island owner shook his head and said: "No, when I first arrived on this island, the stone monument was there. I don't know who erected it."
"Don't the locals know?" Xiao He asked.
"I don't know, but it probably wasn't established by the locals." The island owner replied.
"Why?" Xiao He asked.
The island owner smiled sheepishly again and replied: "The residents here communicate in a very simple way. When I first came here, there was no systematic writing here, so I..."
"Teach them Chinese characters?" Xiao He asked.
The island owner nodded and continued: "But I also have selfish motives, so I only taught some radicals."
After the island owner finished speaking, the three of them were not very interested in this island owner or even his experience in becoming the island owner. Dugu Huntian finally asked: "So why did you invite the three of us to come?"
The island owner finally became serious and said: "I couldn't hide my excitement when I heard that the Japanese slaves reported to me that there were noble people from overseas. I really wanted to meet the three of them. Besides..."
"The island owner has something to say, but there's no harm in saying it." Xiao He said, looking at the island owner who was hesitant to speak.
"I hope to borrow the big boat of three people to return to Bachuan." The island owner said without concealment.
"I'm very sorry, the destination of the trip for the three of me is not here, and the ship cannot return to Bachuan for the time being." Dugu Huntian said.
"Is it really not possible?" The island owner confirmed again.
"No!" Dugu Huntian said firmly.
"Then, I'm afraid I'm going to forcefully requisition them!" After the island owner finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, his eyes became very sharp, and his aura was quite bluffing.
Before the three of them could speak, the island owner had already smashed the wine glass on his table. In response, all the busy "Japanese slaves" outside the courtyard all carried harpoons and entered the house, surrounding the three of them.
Xiao He kept holding back his laughter and was just about to laugh out loud. Looking at the island owner, Xiao He asked: "What do you want to do?"
"Stay alive and give me the boat." The island owner said coldly.
Xiao He shook his head, looked at the island owner and sighed, his expression looked very worried for the island owner, and said: "Let the three of us leave, why bother?"
The island owner ignored Xiao He and waved his hand. The Japanese slaves around him stabbed the three of them with steel forks. Xiao He and Dugu Huntian looked at each other with troubled and helpless eyes. Xiao He lifted up his robe and stamped his feet lightly.
After shaking his right foot, the surrounding fishermen suddenly felt a huge wind wave coming towards them. Before they could react, their bodies were overturned several meters away by the wind and waves, but their bodies were not seriously harmed.
This scene shocked the island owner's jaw. He opened his mouth wide. Looking at the three people in front of him, there was only fear in his heart. Xiao He looked at the island owner and shook his head helplessly again, and left the room with the Dugu brother and sister.
, this time, no one dared to stop them even half a step.
When he reached the door, Xiao He suddenly stopped and turned around and said: "By the way, the name Nanwo is too mocking, and it seems to be given by people from the Central Plains. It would be better to change it to another name."
"Change...for what?" The island owner was timid and asked stammeringly.
Xiao He smiled and said: "Since you have always missed your hometown of Bachuan, and this island is far away from Bachuan, let's call it Wangba Island!"
"Quite elegant! Quite elegant!" The island owner knelt on the ground with a plop and said repeatedly.
