This is a sea snake with black and white rings.

Sea snakes are generally poisonous, Ye Zhibing is well aware of this.

He didn't bring any weapons, not even a small knife. It was not very wise to fight the nimble sea snake in the sea.

Ye Zhibing just stayed still. Animals like to attack moving objects. If he stays still, the probability of being attacked is reduced.

Fortunately, the sea snake just wiped Ye Zhibing's body, then emerged from the sea, took a breath of air, and then dived quickly.

When the sea snake left, Ye Zhibing immediately turned over and climbed onto the pier, heaving a long sigh of relief.

Just at this time, the two men who were talking in the cabin came out, and when they saw a stranger sitting on the pier, they became vigilant.

"who are you?"

The two asked Ye Zhibing loudly.

After a little thought, Ye Zhibing decided to pretend to be a tourist lover and let them bring him into the island.

So Ye Zhibing shouted to them: "Brothers, I am a tourist."

These words were not convincing. The two of them glanced at the sea, but did not find any boats. How did this young man come to the pier?

This is really strange.

The two walked over quickly, encircling Ye Zhibing one behind the other, "It's not that easy for you to lie to us. You must be plotting something wrong, follow us in, and ask the patriarch to forgive you."

Ye Zhibing defended with a bitter face, "I'm really a tourist."

"Hmph, still pretending, you are a tourist, where is your boat?"

"My boat? That's it, two big brothers. I saw the clear water here, so I jumped into the sea to swim on a whim. Unexpectedly, the boat left me and ran away."

The two shook their heads, "We don't believe it. Come with us and meet the patriarch."

Ye Zhibing secretly laughed in his heart, so he entered Dongtan Island logically.

But on his expression, Ye Zhibing still had a bitter face, and walked towards Dongtan Island together between the two of them timidly.

Walking through the pier, there is a stone wall as high as two people, with only one door in the middle.

Looking at the moss and weathering on the stone wall, it should have a history of more than a hundred years, and it may be the anti-Japanese fortifications built by the ancestors surnamed Yao.

Except for this door, there is no place to enter the interior of Dongtan Island. This is really a dangerous fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Seeing this, Ye Zhibing realized that there is a reason why Mr. Gao, who is as powerful as Mr. Gao, did not dare to send people to Dongtan Island to pick up things, but pushed himself out.

Two men escorted Ye Zhibing to the gate in the middle of the stone wall. They saw that the gate was half open. A young man of seventeen or eighteen was sitting behind the gate, smoking a cigarette with his head bowed while looking at his mobile phone. He didn't know what he was looking at. What, I still giggle from time to time.

The man walking in front shouted at the young man: "Weizi, why are you smirking? Oh, you're still smoking secretly."

Weizi quickly put out the cigarette, raised his head in a panic, and explained, "Second Uncle, I was just reading a joke."

When he saw Ye Zhibing, he felt very curious, "Second Uncle, who is he?"

The second uncle said: "I don't know, it's a suspicious person, you go and tell the patriarch, we will take him to the ancestral hall for interrogation, and ask the patriarch to let him go."

Weizi agreed, stood up, turned around and ran towards the island.

"Let's go, what are you doing?"

The second uncle urged Ye Zhibing to observe the terrain.

"Okay."

Ye Zhibing cooperated very well and obediently followed his second uncle to the island.

After passing through the door, there is a steep slope facing you. There is a stone step carved out on the slope, which is about ten meters high.

Go up the stone steps and you will come to the island.

From here, the island is basically a slope that is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, with dense stone houses on it.

In the northernmost place, there is a tall sentry tower, which is the one Ye Zhibing saw on Wang Haijun's speedboat, about 20 meters high.

When the second uncle and others escorted Ye Zhibing through the streets and alleys, there were not many people watching, and most of them were children.

Ye Zhibing guessed that the reason should be that most of the adults went fishing at sea, and they would come back after dark.

The three of them walked for a while before they came to a house with an open space at the door.

There is a wooden plaque hanging above the door of this house, with four large characters written on it: Yao's Ancestral Hall.

The gate of the ancestral hall is closed and locked.

The second uncle complained: "What is this guy Weizi doing? Didn't he tell the patriarch?"

Another man said: "The patriarch is getting old, walk slowly, let's wait."

The second uncle had no choice but to squat down and look at Ye Zhibing, "What's your name?"

Ye Zhibing replied, "Brother, my name is Ye Zhibing, and I'm really here to travel."

The second uncle shook his head, "I have no say in this matter, but our patriarch has the final say. This has been a rule since ancient times."

Ye Zhibing asked, "Do you still have the rules here since ancient times?"

The second uncle glanced at Ye Zhibing contemptuously, and said, "Boy, don't you know that? Our ancestors were generals, and the rules were very strict. There's been a lot of trouble."

Ye Zhibing pretended to be wronged and said, "Brother, I'm really a tourist, there's nothing I can't explain."

The second uncle shook his head, "I told you, I don't believe you. It depends on what our patriarch said."

Ye Zhibing sighed.

At this moment, Wei Zi's voice came: "The patriarch is here, here he is."

Ye Zhibing turned his head to look, and saw an old man with white hair and beard walking towards the ancestral hall surrounded by several strong men with a cane.

The old man was wearing a gray double-breasted suit. Although he was old, he gave off a sense of majesty.

Weizi ran to the entrance of the ancestral hall in a few steps, opened the door with a key, and turned to watch everyone escort Ye Zhibing into the ancestral hall.

The patriarch walked slowly into the ancestral hall, Weizi thoughtfully moved a chair for the patriarch, put it under the ancestral tablet in the ancestral hall, and invited the patriarch to take a seat.

The others stood in two rows, all staring at Ye Zhibing.

After the patriarch sat down, he began to interrogate Ye Zhibing.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Ye Zhibing."

"What do you do?"

"I just graduated from university and haven't gone to work yet."

"What are you doing here with us?"

"Master, I came here to travel, and I accidentally swam here."

The patriarch's face darkened, and he said with a sneer, "There are no islands or scenic spots within a radius of tens of miles of our Dongtan Island, and no cruise ships have ever passed by. You are clearly lying."

Ye Zhibing complained aggrievedly: "Master, I'm really a tourist. I swam here in the wrong direction."

The patriarch waved his hand majestically, "It's nonsense, lock him up, and send him to the clan meeting tomorrow."

Several big men quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Zhibing's hands, dragged him to a room on the left side of the ancestral hall, and locked the door.
