Chapter 471: The Person I Want to See

Whale Island is an island that is still a part of the sea away from the mainland. It is named after the shape of the island like a whale.

The terrain on the island is complex, with various rare birds and animals, dense rainforest and many bottomless lakes.

Here, there are very few native residents, and there is only one village on the entire island.

Although the resident population on the island is small, there are many floating populations that come and go every day.

Fishermen who go fishing from the mainland regard Whale Island as a temporary resting place, and often stay on Whale Island for a while before returning to Hong Kong.

The residents of Whale Island are almost dominated by fishing, with a few planting industries, and only one tavern in the village is open.

Most of the men on the sea are good at wine. When they come to Whale Island, they will basically go to the only tavern on the island for a few drinks.

On September 16, the day after the Youkexin auction ended, a small wooden boat without sails sailed along the current and approached the port, attracting the attention of many fishermen on the port.

Around, six large fishing boats were moored in the port, in stark contrast to the lifeboat-sized wooden boat.

"Lonely ship?"

Some fishermen guessed.

An isolated island also refers to an unmanned ship. In the eyes of fishermen at sea, it usually represents a drifting ship with no one on it.

Most fishermen have seen a solitary boat. Either there is no one on board, or there is a skeleton that has been pecked by seabirds.

People who were closer to the small wooden boat approached. After approaching, they saw a person lying in the slightly deeper hull, with an old-fashioned straw hat covering his face.

The man's chest didn't rise and fall, as if he hadn't breathed.

Among the men, someone said: "The boat can't get across, this man may have fallen."

"Then we have to move the body ashore and bury it." Another person said.

"Let's do it."

Don't say "death" to the dead body on the sea boat, and have to bury it if you meet it. These are the customs that fishermen must abide by.

Every fishing boat that went out to sea brought a few buckets of land soil, just to deal with the corpses on the solitary boat.

These men were going to move the corpse out of the wooden boat,

The surrounding fishermen also came to watch.

At this moment, the corpse they identified suddenly straightened its upper body, and the straw hat fell down.

The few men who were approaching took a few steps back in fright at the turn of events.

"Excuse me, is this Whale Island?"

The man in the boat picked up the straw hat, put it on his head first, then picked up a fishing rod and stood up.

This black-haired young man wearing a straw hat is Luo

Those men looked at Luo in front of them with wide eyes, and subconsciously nodded.

Seeing this, Luo thought that he had arrived at his destination.

The man who had previously concluded that Luo was dead came back to his senses and said, "I thought you were dead."

"Uncle, is it really okay to curse people like this?"

Luo raised his eyebrows and jumped from the hull to the shore.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The man was honest, knowing that his words offended him, he apologized on the spot.

Luo didn't care, stroked his stomach and asked, "Is there a restaurant here?"

Hearing Luo's question, several men looked at each other, including the men gathered around, they all understood that Luo might be a stranger who knew nothing about Whale Island.

"No, but there is a tavern in the village. If you want to eat, you can go there." Someone replied.

"Thanks."

After thanking Luo, he headed towards the village.

Everyone at the port watched Luo leave, the insignificant episode ended, and it returned to the original state.

The port of Whale Island is large, but the area of ​​the village is not large. There are not many buildings that can be seen, and the arrangement of intervals is relatively loose.

When Luo walked into the village, he could smell the smell of wine without looking for it.

Following the taste, I quickly found the tavern, opened the door and entered, and there was a lot of people.

The tavern was almost full of people, presumably fishermen who disembarked from the six large fishing boats in the port.

"welcome."

A pleasant female voice came.

Luo looked up, his eyes brightened slightly.

The owner of the voice was a young woman with short orange hair, her bangs combed back, revealing a smooth forehead. She had good features and vivid eyes, very similar to Jin Youshu.

Mitt, Kim's cousin.

In the original book, Mitt didn't appear many times and didn't last long, but it left a deep impression on Luo, and she was a female character he liked.

When I came to Whale Island this time, in addition to seeing the King of the Swamp, I also wanted to see Mitt with my own eyes.

"The seats are almost full. If you don't mind, please squeeze in." Mitte noticed the young man's eyes, and pointed to the crowded seats inside calmly.

Her tavern has received many guests, and over a long period of time, she has come into contact with various men. Most of the men look at her in almost the same way.

The kind of eyes that light up for women are, to put it bluntly, the eyes of a pervert.

However, this is the first time Mitt has seen a young man like Luo.

Luo didn't know that in the eyes of Mitt, he was no different from the group of bosses inside, so he nodded at Mitt and walked in.

Seats were tight, so Luo barely managed to find a table with enough room to put his fishing rods on.

He is not wearing a human skin mask now, but with a thin skin and tender face, he is extremely conspicuous among a group of men who have been ravaged by the scorching sun and sea wind.

The fishermen at the same table took a few more glances at Luo, feeling strange and not like they were traveling together.

"What do you want?"

At this time, Mitt, who was finished, came to take orders for Luo.

In terms of reception, Mitt has never used honorifics from the beginning to now, presumably this tavern does not sell services.

"What's there to eat?" Luo asked.

"Seafood's staple food includes rice, fried noodles, and rice noodles..." Mitt announced several staple dishes in one breath, with seafood as the main dish and mountain flavor as well.

The population of Whale Island is sparse, but the supplies are quite rich, and you can find plenty of mountain treasures in the dense forest.

"Give me seafood fried rice and a glass of fruit wine." Luo placed the order without thinking too long.

"learn."

Mitt wrote down the dishes, smiled at Luo, and then walked towards the back kitchen aisle next to the bar.

Before the dishes came, Luo glanced around the tavern.

Some of the fishermen were playing cards, and most of them were drinking, which opened up the chatterbox.

Luo didn't listen specifically, and the topics that the group of fishermen were talking about automatically entered his ears.

The voice was too loud, but Luo still heard topics such as the once-in-a-decade tide, escaped disaster, and picked up a boat of precious fish species.

"Big brother, are you good at fishing?"

Among the many noisy voices, an immature child's voice attracted Luo's attention.

Looking at the sound, it was a six or seven-year-old child wearing green short-sleeved shorts, with a black hedgehog head, and a pair of eyes with the same pupil color as Mitte.

At this time, the kid was staring at Luo's fishing rod on the edge of the table with his big eyes fluttering.

Luo looked at the child in front of him, but he grinned.

Kim's son, Jay...

"Of course it's great."

Luo blinked at Xiaojie, and said seriously: "I don't need bait, and I can catch any fish."

"Really!"

Hearing this, Xiaojie showed adoring eyes.

The fishermen at the same table looked at Luo who was blowing in silence. They didn't know what Luo's fishing method was. In fact, he did not use bait. For bait.

"That's natural, want to learn?"

Luo stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiaojie's head, thinking whether he should take a photo for Jin, but on second thought, he didn't think it was necessary, he thought that Jin would secretly observe Xiaojie's growth in some way.

"I think!" Xiaojie nodded vigorously.

"I'll teach you after I finish eating." Luo laughed.

At this time, someone pulled the excited Xiaojie behind him, but it was Mitt who brought seafood fried rice and fruit wine.

She put the tray on the table with a little force, and looked at Luo with vague hostility.

"Uh…"

Luo was speechless for a moment, not understanding where Mitt's hostility came from.

Could it be, the saying that you can fish without bait? But what he said is true, hang the black cat on the fishhook, and you can catch any fish you want without bait.

"Your seafood fried rice and fruit wine."

Mitt unloaded the dinner plate on the table, and then pulled Xiaojie away without saying a word.

Luo touched the back of his head, feeling baffled.
