Live broadcast: My leisurely life on the island

Chapter 239 Mermaid Amulet

In the noodle restaurants in the village, there is very little turnover of personnel.

Hardly a few people came to patronize.

Now Zhang Heng is here alone, deserted.

The atmosphere became even more gloomy due to the silence of the two of them.

Zhang Heng kept silent. Although he was curious and shocked, he was still waiting.

Grandma Lin seems to have a very heavy heart.

In his heart, there should be a past that he doesn't want to recall.

What exactly?
Zhang Heng can be said to know nothing.

"Dahengzi, are you really going?"

After being silent for a long time, Grandma Lin asked again, with worry written all over her face.

"Ah."

Zhang Heng nodded heavily.

"The deep sea area of ​​​​Jidong Island, don't feel very safe."

Grandma Lin still persuaded her without giving up.

"Grandma, my opponent is a foreigner, so I have no choice but to go this time."

If Grandma Lin had said this before he agreed, he would have directly rejected the live broadcast of Langya.

Even if he didn't know what the danger Granny Lin meant, he would still be obedient.

But now it's different.

He represents the Chinese nation and the descendants of Yan and Huang. If he can't go to a deserted island to survive, what will the western countries think of him?

Of course, the most important thing is to affect the image of the whole country.

Zhang Heng finds it difficult to accept that he is slandering the motherland because of him alone.

"This is life!"

Grandma Lin sighed for a long time, the wrinkles on her face seemed to be more at this moment.

"Do you know how your grandfather died?"

Zhang Heng was taken aback for a moment, and replied full of doubts: "Aren't you sick?"

He also heard about this incident when he was a child, so he was not very clear about it, but everyone in the village said that Grandpa had a strange disease, which the hospital said could not be cured, and finally left the young Granny Lin and several young children behind.

He also thought about this problem. Perhaps in that era, the level of medical care was limited, and the hospitals in the county town did not have the current technology, so they could not make a diagnosis.

Now it seems that there seems to be something else hidden in it.

"It is true that he died of illness, but the illness came too suddenly."

Recalling the scenes back then, Granny Lin had a bitter expression on her face. She rubbed her eyes, only to find that her tears had almost dried up.

"Your grandfather, you also went to the sea when you were young. At that time, life was hard and seafood could not be sold. The whole family could only rely on seafood to survive."

"Don't go to sea for three days, five days early, otherwise the whole family will go hungry."

Zhang Heng sighed. The conditions back then were really bad. Compared to now, it was like a paradise and an underground.

But it's funny. Back then, seafood was the only food we could eat, but now seafood has become a high-consumption luxury in inland cities.

"Your grandfather also goes to sea. He can be counted as half of your grandfather's apprentices. They almost go to sea together every time."

"Anything like that?"

Zhang Heng opened his mouth in surprise, he had never heard of this matter before.

Zhang Heng didn't know much about his grandfather. He passed away when he was a few years old, and now his memory is a little fuzzy.

He only remembered that his grandfather liked him very much since he was a child, and his health didn't seem to be very good. According to the current standard of living, the age of grandfather's death would be considered middle-aged.

"Not long after your grandfather passed away, your grandfather also left."

"Hey, if it wasn't for catching more fish and not going there, maybe nothing would happen."

"what is the problem?"

Zhang Heng stood up suddenly, and what Grandma Lin said made him feel unprecedentedly shocked.

All along, he has never questioned the fact that his grandfather passed away prematurely. After all, life, old age, sickness and death are beyond anyone's control.

But today, he heard something else from Grandma's mouth.

Could it be that there is a problem with the extreme east island?
He has always been in awe of nature.

But for the extreme east island, it's not awe, it's more about memory.

He really couldn't figure out what happened to his grandfather and the others when they went to sea decades ago.

Is it a disease or something else?
But Zhang Heng has not waited for a definite answer.

Grandma Lin didn't know either.

He just felt that things were strange, and many things were dictated by Grandpa after he came back, as well as her own guesses over the years.

On that trip to sea, they got lost and lost their course.

Losing your course is far more terrifying in the sea than on land.

If it is in the deep sea, far away from the port, it is very likely that there will be a big risk.

Unfortunately, they deviated from the course that time and entered an unknown place.

Even after they came back, they repeatedly asked and investigated, but still no one knew about the place.

It didn't take long for this matter to be investigated, and the two passed away one after another.

Zhang Heng immediately guessed that it might be due to dehydration and excessive fear, which made his physical condition extremely deteriorated, and finally fell ill.

But Granny Lin never believed Zhang Heng's statement.

She returned to the house, took out an amulet, and looked at Zhang Heng with a wry smile: "Your grandfather said that he was able to come back alive because of this amulet."

Ok?
Zhang Heng was not superstitious. He took the amulet, looked at the mark on it, and frowned.

The amulet is very small, only about one centimeter in length, no different in size from an ordinary pendant, except that a pattern is vaguely engraved on it.

He looked at it many times, it seems to be a mermaid?
Most of the amulets are mainly Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, and this is the first time he has encountered a mermaid pattern.

But living by the sea, wearing an amulet with a mermaid pattern seems to make sense.

It's just that there are still some fonts on the pattern, the ancient fonts have long been blurred, and the true meaning has been submerged in the ruthless years.

"Where did my grandfather ask for it?"

After Zhang Heng was silent for a while, he also felt that this amulet was not ordinary, it seemed that it had a little more mystery than what he usually saw.

"It was given by your grandfather."

"My grandpa?"

Zhang Heng was shocked again, he had never seen any amulet in his grandfather.

In other words, if there are really mysterious good things, it stands to reason that grandpa should also pass them on to his father.

It can be seen from this that he may have thought too much about the identity of this amulet.

"Are you thinking that this amulet is very ordinary, or your grandfather would have kept it for you?"

Zhang Heng nodded directly.

"Your grandfather gave it to your grandfather at a time of crisis. After he came back, your grandfather wanted to return it to your grandfather many times, but your grandfather insisted on not wanting it. He said that there is no reason to take back the things he gave away. Children and grandchildren, let your children and grandchildren decide what will happen in the future."

Grandma Lin sighed, her eyes filled with gratitude and guilt, and she said, "Your grandfather was still talking about it before he left. This is something from your Zhang family. Even if the Zhang family doesn't want it, we can't continue to pass it on."

"So since your grandfather left, I have kept this amulet in the box. If I hadn't heard that you went to the deep sea, maybe in a few years, the secret of this amulet would have been brought into the ground with my old bones."
