The golden sunset passed through the dim woods, and the shadows of the trees were mottled on this untidy wooden house. The open space next to the wooden house had been occupied by weeds, leaving only a two-foot-wide path leading directly to the door.
"Click, click" The wooden door and the wooden wall, which swelled due to moisture, squeezed each other, causing abnormal noises.
There was already a thin layer of dust inside the house. It seemed that it had been vacant for a while, which was consistent with the information obtained from the newspaper office.
The space inside the wooden house is not large, and the furniture is not much better than that of the village chief's house, but it is still simple.
After clearing out a chair that could accommodate people, Chen Ren began to think deeply about Betty's purpose in bringing him here.
Yes, after learning about the tragic situation of the villagers, he confirmed that Betty had deliberately lured him here. Including Betty using her real name to get along with him, paying special attention to force and identity as a hunter, everything was connected.
But there are still many questions that have not been answered. Why does Betty need a lot of money? She has contacts with the sea tribe who oppressed her village. Since she can go to sea, why not seek help from the navy?
"When we meet again, I hope you can give me the answer, Betty." He leaned back on his chair and looked up at the ceiling, his deep voice echoing in the wooden house.
The sky is overcast, the wind is blowing, and the waves are rolling on the sea of clouds.
A bit of light rises and falls on the sea of clouds, slowly and steadily moving towards Nuo Island.
Hiding in the coconut grove, I noticed that the light was gradually approaching, and I kept staring at it. Until the ship docked, a short figure jumped off the ship carrying a package.
It was Betty. Coal Ball discovered her almost at the same time and did not go back immediately but continued to follow and monitor her.
.......
At this time, there was already a heavy downpour outside the wooden house, and the raindrops the size of beans hit the roof with a crackling sound, which did not at all weaken the howling wind outside.
"Da da da" The wooden door suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Chen Ren quickly stood up and opened the door. He knew that the briquettes were back, and the sound of the crow's beak tapping on the wooden door was quite special.
"Ga" The wet coal briquettes shook for a while after entering the house, and their feathers threw out a lot of raindrops.
He sat back in the chair, and Coal Ball's eyes came to him in time.
My vision was blurry, and my perspective was floating in the air.
I saw some precious light emerging from the small bag that Betty carried when she came ashore. The area was not very thin, so if you didn't look carefully, you would probably miss it.
The angle of view followed Betty for a while, moving in the direction of the wooden house. When approaching the wooden house, Betty suddenly turned and stopped behind a big tree.
There is also a treasure light behind the big tree, but it is brighter than the backpack. The perspective shifts to behind the tree, and a box of treasure appears in the pit.
Chen Ren frowned when he saw this. Is she saving money at this time?
Then looking down, Betty poured the crowns and gold and silver in her backpack into the treasure box, and hid the box again. She patted the loose soil off her body, and walked towards the south, where there was an extinct village and the only one on the island.
pier.
The angle of view quickly caught up, but the strong wind coming from the road still forced the briquettes to fly at low altitude.
Betty met many sea tribesmen along the way. Those sea tribes would bow their heads and say hello when they saw Betty, showing quite respect, including the two sea tribesmen, one blue and one red, who came to collect food today.
It seems that Betty's status is not low among these sea tribes, but the bullies in Changnuo Village can still run rampant in Xiaonuo Village, and the sea tribesmen who collect grains still punch and kick the village chief. If she is so ruthless, why would she want to kill her?
Lead yourself here.
The perspective continued to move, and then I saw a fenced-in mansion. The courtyard was full of treasures. The area was larger than the entire Xiaonuo Village. It was heavily guarded inside, and there were soldiers from the Hai Clan patrolling from time to time.
At this time, the sky was overcast, and there were already little drops of rain falling. Moreover, it was easy to detect when flying to the window to monitor, so the camera turned around and flew towards the wooden house.
The eyeballs leave the palm and the scene ends.
Chen Ren let out a deep breath, but before he could speak, he was attracted by a loud laugh in the rainstorm. Several black shadows appeared not far from the wooden house. They carried a short figure and walked together to the tree where the treasure box was buried.
Not long after, there was a burst of cheers, and Chen Ren could hear the arrogant words of the leading strong man even while sitting in the room.
"Thank you for your contribution to our Changnuo Village, hahaha. This much treasure is enough for us to live well for a year."
"Don't blame us either. Who made you weak?"
"Keep saving, we will come again next time." The strong man at the head reached out and patted Betty's face twice, waved his fingers, held her two men, and threw them hard. She fell heavily into the muddy water, her expression
Silly, without any resistance, like a puppet that has been abandoned casually.
It wasn't until the villagers from Changnuo Village left with the treasure box that she crawled out of the mire and headed towards the wooden house, stumbling.
"Click, click" the sound of the wooden door opening echoed in the room. Betty was standing at the door of the house covered in mud, and saw Chen Ren sitting on the chair looking straight at her, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.
"You're here, you have indeed found this place." Betty's tone could not be controlled with excitement, and her dull expression became brighter.
"Tell me, what's the purpose of bringing me here? And where's my ship?" Chen Ren's face was cold at this moment, and his tone seemed to be carrying a knife, as if he didn't see her desolate look at this moment.
"I have sold the boat, and the money was robbed by the villagers of Changnuo Village." Betty seemed not to hear the coldness in his tone, and continued excitedly, not caring that this would only make things worse.
"Tell me about your purpose? I only know part of it now. I will not help this village." The conversation continued until Chen Ren used the village as a threat, and Betty still did not show any answer.
"Today the Hai tribe came to the village again, and I happened to bump into them. I saw them beating the village chief. Considering the village chief's injuries, he probably won't survive for a few years." Chen Ren remembered that when he and the village chief were talking about Betty in the morning, the village chief said
Unconscious protection and the village chief knew that it was Betty who probably told the story about the Hai Clan. He decided to deceive.
Sure enough, when talking about the village chief, the excitement on Betty's face disappeared and she became silent again.
"Say it, I might help you, but no one will help you if you don't." He approached Betty, his deep voice lingering in Betty's ears, constantly tempting her to tell the truth.
"I want you to kill me." Her voice was like thunder, exploding in the wooden house.
"Whether I'm approaching you with my real name, or selling your boat. It's all to lure you here to kill me, or to pity the villagers here and drive away the Sea Clan." She fell to the floor and roared hysterically, tears bursting into her eyes.
When he came out, the mud and water on his cheeks were washed away, leaving two clear traces.
Chen Ren looked at the crying Betty with a complicated expression, and was speechless for a moment. This was the first time he had seen such a person who wanted to die.
