Chapter 98 I'll Tell You Later

From ten o'clock in the evening, the island became lively.The seabirds all began to return to their nests, and for a while, a large number of birds appeared in the sky above the island, and they were all different and colorful.These seabirds are chattering and calling for friends in the woods and in the air, very lively.

There were also curious seabirds that flew over Li Yu's fire camp, but they didn't dare to come down to check because of the fire.However, some birds were probably too curious, and because they couldn't come down to find out, they simply dropped the "bomb".

"Come again, I'll beat you all down and roast you!" A mercenary who was "shot" on his shoulder raised his head and roared, but instead of the birds fleeing hoarsely, a pool of "bombs" landed on him. on the forehead.

"Hahaha... Makes you proud, this bird is the master on the island, you, a guest, want to deceive the master, you deserve it." Xu Lei laughed loudly.

Chang Mingyao looked at the platform on the other side of the stone dam, and the pile of stones scattered beside the platform.Li Yu looked at him from the side, wondering what Chang Mingyao was thinking, but Chang Mingyao didn't seem to be in a good mood.So he changed the subject: "Brother Chang, don't you think the sunset over there that day is particularly beautiful? It's red and pretty, let's walk around here."

The golden sunlight has disappeared, and there is a bright red sunset where the water and the sky meet. It is not dazzling at all, but it is particularly gorgeous.This is the last bit of brilliance left by the sun in this day, and it still makes people feel its beauty.

"Pretty." Chang Mingyao turned his gaze away, stood up, and walked out of the camp with Li Yu.After watching for a while, he said to Li Yu: "Although the tribe that used to live here belonged to the same tribe, they also brought many other people who were in distress with them during their escape. In the end, there were people from all over here, and all the people from all over the world were here. The customs and customs of farming are different. After arriving on this deserted island, they kept the customs of their previous hometown and learned the customs of other people.

Later, the customs and habits here are already different from those outside.However, every festival, here is very lively. Although there are some shortages in supplies, everyone does their best to make the festival lively.Not only singing and dancing, but also snacks and delicacies from all over the world.There are even exquisite snacks made with common wild vegetables and fruits.

If there are visitors from afar, they will treat each other with hospitality.However, if the visitor has other bad thoughts, the people here will also unite to resist foreign enemies.And the people here, both men and women, are all educated to value filial piety and be kind.It's a pity that the place like Xanadu is so deserted now. "

"Maybe after they move outside, they will still maintain the same life as before. It's just that the living environment has changed. Just living on this small island, they seem to be a little lonely. It may not be a good thing to go out." Li Yu comforted , he was very curious why Chang Mingyao was so clear, but he didn't ask much.Hearing Chang Mingyao say this, it seems that he still knows the people on these islands.

"Tomorrow morning, let's take a walk into the village again. I remember that there is an ancestral hall in the innermost layer of the village. There used to be a patriarch here who collected a lot of books." Chang Mingyao said.

"I don't know how many years ago that happened. Even if there are books, they are probably all torn." Li Yu said.

"Let's see when the time comes. I know a place that specializes in collecting books, but ordinary people really can't find it." Chang Mingyao said.That year, the old patriarch liked his cooking skills very much.During the conversation, the two hit it off very well. They didn't expect the old patriarch to take him away to the hidden place where books were stored.

Chang Mingyao also guessed that this old patriarch is probably not an ordinary person.Although he lives in seclusion on this fringe desert island with his family members, he knows all the major events happening on land.And just looking at the collection of books, the old patriarch's ancestors must have had wealthy families.

"Okay." Li Yu replied, since it's here, it's good to go and have a look.

"Don't Xiaoyu wonder why I know?" Chang Mingyao asked.Li Yu didn't ask him a word, which made him very moved.He must have been curious too, but he didn't ask a single word.

"I'm curious. But it's fine if you don't want to say it. I'll know when you want to say it someday." Li Yu thought about whether he had a big secret to tell Chang Mingyao, so he didn't care.

"Does Xiaoyu know why he asked you to look for the sunken ship?" Chang Mingyao asked again.

"Anyway, you're definitely not looking for treasure."

"Yes. I'll tell you when I find it." Chang Mingyao smiled.

"Then what if the sunken ship is not found?" Li Yu asked again.

"I'll tell you if I don't find it."

"I always feel that I will hear some strange things, but then I will tell you a secret!" Li Yu made up his mind and told Chang Mingyao about the No. 7 fishing ground.

"Hurrah."

The two had a conversation, and took Huahua back to the camp.It was also because of Hua Hua that Xu Lei let them come out alone. Otherwise, as a competent mercenary, he would definitely have someone follow him.

The sunrise was accompanied by the cries of seabirds, and Li Yu and the others also got up from the tent.I don't know if it was because the seabirds were afraid of the fire that they couldn't get close, which caused these seabirds to retaliate. Their tents and around the camp were covered with a layer of bird droppings.

"Boss, let me catch a few birds and go back. If I don't avenge this revenge, I feel panicked!" As soon as a mercenary stepped out of the tent, a sea bird pulled his poop on top of his head.

"Clean up the camp and prepare to continue to the village." Xu Lei said, not letting anyone touch these seabirds.

The village used to be built in the shape of the word "Hui", expanding outward layer by layer, and mostly using stone and wood.It is basically collapsed now, so it is very troublesome to walk.Especially in those stone crevices, not only are there many vines covering them, there may also be many poisonous snakes living there.When they walked up, they followed suit, staring at these slits.Fortunately, it was quite peaceful along the way, and Huahua was there!

Walking to the most central area, there is a patio, and a space is vacated.There was a stone house made of large blocks of stone, the walls hadn't collapsed, but the roof was gone.

"Please wait for us outside." Chang Mingyao led Li Yu to the uncollapsed stone house.

"Be careful, I don't want my employer to have an accident under my nose and ruin our reputation." Xu Lei said.

"Thank you."

The archway outside the stone house is still there, and the carvings are somewhat blurred, but it is very simple and vicissitudes.The inside of the stone house is very wide, and there are some collapsed roofs and piles of decayed wooden furniture, the prototype of which can no longer be seen.Chang Mingyao took Li Yu and took Huahua to a side hall in the stone house.Xu Lei and the others were very committed, they stayed outside and did not step into the stone house.

"Boss, isn't Boss Chang a restaurant owner? That Boss Li is also a fish farmer and fisherman. Why, I see, they have turned into a treasure hunting rhythm? Isn't that right!" A mercenary came over Ask Xu Lei.

"This mission is light, safe, and well-fed. Do you have any opinions? Then go with the boss next time." Xu Lei said leisurely.When they were on the boat, Chang Mingyao's good cooking skills made them full of food.

"Don't! Boss, you are my own brother! You must take me on a mission and follow you to the death. Don't leave me to the big boss." The mercenary wanted to cry, their big boss was so cruel, Every time I take a mission, it is in a place where the environment is particularly harsh, not to mention easy to get injured, and there is no food or drink.Those days were like years, nothing could be more difficult.

"But this Li Yu is not a simple master." Xu Lei smiled.When he received this task, he was a little surprised because the reward was generous and the task was very simple.At first, he thought it was some kind of problem given by an opponent, but he didn't expect that this investigation would lead him to discover something.

Li Yu is nothing among those bosses, not even a name.But Li Yu's luck is really good. He also knows about the salvage of the sunken ship of Su Yunfei's company.And the connection between the discovery and Li Yu, and the sunken ship discovered by Li Yu's Antarctic trip.However, like those who investigated Li Yu, apart from being lucky, Li Yu didn't discover any secrets.

Therefore, those who knew Li Yu and paid attention to him all sighed when they mentioned him: This is the man favored by heaven!

"Why is it not easy, boss, tell me?" The person next to him became interested.

"Customer information is kept confidential. Are you in the industry on the first day? Keep it safe. If such a simple task is not completed, our security company will not be in the industry in the future." Xu Lei taught.

"Oh……"

And over there Li Yu and Chang Mingyao entered the stone house, Chang Mingyao looked outside, but no one followed, very satisfied.Looked at the collapsed place, broke some rotten wood, and then counted the stones on the floor.Li Yu just watched Chang Mingyao staring at the ground, always feeling that this was the prelude to something strange happening.

Sure enough, Chang Mingyao suddenly squatted on the ground, then began to knock on the stone slabs, and took out the multifunctional dagger he was carrying to pry it.It really made him pry up a large stone slab!And this big stone slab is still made up of several small stone slabs, and the surrounding is very tightly sealed, so ordinary people can't find the abnormality.And after the big stone slab was pried open, there was still a thick layer of wood, which was smaller than the stone slab.

However, there are already signs of decay on these thick logs.Chang Mingyao grabbed a groove in the plank and pulled away the rotten plank, and a stone ladder appeared on the ground.Li Yu was dumbfounded. Could this be the legendary hidden compartment?

"What kind of mechanism is this?" Li Yu asked.

"It's just the basement. It can also be called a large cellar." Chang Mingyao smiled. There are no cellars like those in the north in Xiaonanwan, so Li Yu is not familiar with them.

"..." I thought it was tall, but it turned out...

When the cellar was opened, Chang Mingyao allowed the air inside to circulate for a while before lighting a fire and going in to check whether it was safe.After there was no problem, he took Li Yu down.Because the basement is airtight, there is no water in it.To Chang Mingyao's surprise, the inside was still the same as what he saw back then.

A large number of books were neatly placed on the nanmu bookshelf. Chang Mingyao took a flashlight to check and found many ancient books.But this is not good news. What happened so that the old patriarch's collections were not taken away by future generations?Or, why did the person who knew the existence of this basement not pass on the secret in the end?

Chang Mingyao looked around, but didn't see anything special.The people on this island should have moved away, because there were not many traces of furniture and utensils in those collapsed houses.But this place remained inexplicably.

But Chang Mingyao can't get answers to these questions, only this book full of books tells the hidden secrets that can't be traced.There is also a simple desk inside, on which are placed the Four Treasures of the Study, brush washers and other utensils, and even inside the inkstone, there is still ink that has dried up.

"There are so many things preserved here!" Li Yu was also very surprised.He couldn't understand how valuable these things were, but there were many ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, so they shouldn't be cheap.

"I've been here before." Chang Mingyao said suddenly.

"No wonder you know a lot about this island, so you've been here before." Li Yu nodded, not feeling anything strange.

"At that time, there were still many people living here, and the village was very lively. The old patriarch and his people warmly welcomed us. But now, it has become like this."

"It must be moving, moving..." Li Yu suddenly realized that Chang Mingyao is so old, and it is definitely not possible for the village to become what it is now in 30 or [-] years.Moreover, Chang Mingyao couldn't just come here when he was a child, or even know about this basement, then...

"I'll tell you later." Chang Mingyao looked at Li Yu's stunned look and smiled. It's good that his story can surprise Li Yu.It's better to leave now: "Let's go, let's go up and let Xu Lei and the others help carry all the books here on board. But let them know about these things, it's really troublesome."

"How about I help you take it out?" Li Yu thought for a while, and it was a good choice to put the things in his warehouse in the No. 7 fishing ground.These ancient books, calligraphy and paintings that do not know how many years old are fragile on the outside, but the warehouse in the No. 7 fishing ground is not damaged at all.

"Ok?"

"I'll tell you later!" Li Yu blocked him with Chang Mingyao's words, and then those bookshelves disappeared one after the other.In addition, everything in the basement disappeared into the basement together.

Chang Mingyao was also very surprised when she saw it, but she soon calmed down.Looking at Li Yu, he smiled very warmly.Li Yu is doing this now because he is going to tell Chang Mingyao his secret, which makes Chang Mingyao very happy.When he was about to reveal his secret, Li Yu also confessed his secret.Sure enough, how you treat others, others will return to you.

"Brother Chang, aren't you curious?" At least he was extremely curious about Chang Mingyao's affairs, and he was screaming in his heart!

"I'm curious, but Xiaoyu will always tell me." Chang Mingyao smiled, and that was enough.

"..." Meaningless.

The two walked out, and the basement they stayed there left an unsolved mystery when the next scientific expedition team came.After all, during the first inspection here, the basement was not mentioned in the application, so who opened the basement that had been abandoned for hundreds of years?What treasures are there in the basement?This makes all researchers very strange.

Regarding Li Yu and Chang Mingyao staying in this dilapidated stone house for a long time, Xu Lei and the others didn't say much.After asking about Chang Mingyao, he said that there is nothing else to do on this island, so he asked everyone to pack up and prepare to go back.

"By the way, when we go back, I'll show you a place that is said to be very interesting." Chang Mingyao said with a smile, in a very good mood.

"Okay, if there are no safety issues, go and have a look, it's still early." Xu Lei replied.

When they walked halfway, Chang Mingyao pointed to the other side and said where to go.That road was still overgrown with weeds, so Xu Lei agreed after thinking about it.The situation here is similar to the way it came from, and there is no major safety hazard if you pay attention.

The place Chang Mingyao took them to was a sandy land, and the sandy land was actually covered with late red tile pine, mountain roses and several other succulents.But mainly some cacti and mountain roses grow very large, especially those mountain roses, which are rarely seen outside.I don't know how many years it has been growing. The tops of the bare green branches are covered with leaves, and they are gathered like a green rose with thick petals.

But the low late red pine tiles are spread on the ground like a fine red thorn carpet.Although the other succulents grow messily, they grow very much, and they match each other, which is no worse than the mixed and matched succulent bonsai displayed in the flower shop.

"I didn't expect such a thing to grow on this deserted island. It's really strange." Xu Lei looked at these succulents and said, this must be a human species!

"But how does Boss Chang know such a place?" Someone next to him couldn't help asking.

"There was a picture of this place in the magazine, and it also mentioned the location casually. I didn't expect us to find it." Chang Mingyao replied.

In fact, this area originally grew late red tile pine and mountain roses, and it was also naturally generated.But the old patriarch at that time was such a serious old man, but he liked these succulents.I don't know how he collected them. Later, all kinds of succulents were planted in this large area.

Unexpectedly, these succulents are still taking root on this island.Even without a caretaker, they still grow so lush.Without the pampering rules, there is also a wild willfulness.

"It's pretty nice, let's take some of them home and grow them?" Li Yu suggested that he also likes these succulents, and few people grow them in Xiaonanwan.Aloe vera is common, but it doesn't look precious if there are too many.

"There are several kinds here. You only need to pick off the leaves to grow again. Let's divide the late red tile pine back into two plants. It looks good when you keep them, but they won't grow too big." Chang Mingyao said while squatting down and dividing some. Plants and leaves come out.

People who grow succulents know that many succulents only need a thick leaf, and they can slowly grow small plants when placed in the soil, and take root and take root in the soil.Some people say that succulents are not easy to feed. In fact, these things are the easiest to raise, but too much pampering is not conducive to their growth.Succulents are very tenacious plants, but pampering them makes them weaker.

Huahua doesn't care if it's succulent or not, whether it's pretty or not.It just thinks that this plant looks delicious, with juicy leaves and thick leaves, which suits its appetite!So he crawled over slowly, opened his mouth and ate a lot.While eating, he rubbed against Li Yu, meaning that he asked Li Yu to help him get some, and he wanted to take it back for turtles 1-23 to eat.

"Brother Chang?"

"Cut it with a knife, hurry up." The people are already gone, although the succulents are still there, just leave some for them to grow.

As for the rations for Huahua and the others, hehe, how few good things are wasted in their mouths?Didn't his grandfather's pots of mutated lotus petal orchids just get chewed up by them? !
