Arknights is too real, right?

Except for Sorata whom he saw yesterday, Xia Feng has never seen a living person around here.

Human psychology is like this. When you are in a noisy city and see the endless flow of people when you open and close your eyes, you will hate this kind of noise.

But when you are suddenly in a no-man's land, you will instinctively desire "people", because people are social animals after all, and this is instinct.

Of course, Xia Feng has only been here for two days, and he has bagpipes and wind treasures, so he won't feel lonely.

Most of this reaction to "human signs" is just subconscious curiosity.

It had only been a few days, but he actually became curious about "people". One can imagine how lonely the unlucky guy named "Robinson" must have been in his original world.

After running towards the stone dam, Xia Feng could clearly see what was here.

To be precise, this is not a stone dam, but a stone pier made of stones. On the beach, a thick wooden stake is fixed in the center of each stone pier to secure the ship.

Yes, there were many small boats in front of him at this moment, at least more than 20 by visual inspection.

This kind of ship is incomparable to the ocean-going freighters of the Haimen Gang that he saw in Shendi City. This kind of ship is only five or six meters long, and it doesn't even have an engine, let alone an Originium drive.

This is a very primitive small sailboat that basically relies on sails and oars to sail. Of course, it can only wander around the offshore.

But having said that, Xia Feng didn't mean to be scornful at all.

He thought it was amazing that such a ship could be built in a relatively isolated place like the southern coast of Dongguo.

This area is obviously a very crude "pier", and there seems to be no one on the beach at this time except for fixed boats.

At this moment, Xia Feng heard a "dong dong dong" knocking sound coming from the distance in front of him on the right.

Taking a closer look, he found that there was a person. Because this person was too thin and small and squatting, he didn't notice it at first glance.

Then he took a closer look, and coincidentally, he seemed to know this person.

"Sata!"

Sorata, who was tapping with a small hammer, raised his head when he heard the sound.

When he saw that the people shouting at him from a distance were Xia Feng and Feng Bao, his godless eyes revealed a touch of innocent joy.

"Huo Yu, it's you."

If an ordinary person is called Huo Yu, I am afraid that he will suffer from embarrassment cancer. Only a person like Xia Feng, who has a severe secondary disease and likes to be awkward in the eyes of outsiders, can have a playful smile.

After approaching, Xia Feng had a smile on his face.

"Hai, don't be so unfamiliar. Aren't we friends? What's your last name? Just call me by my first name."

"Oh, brother Xia Feng."

Sorata was obviously not as big as Ergou and just called him Lao Xia. Instead, he very consciously added "brother" at the end.

After looking around with his broken backpack on his back, Xia Feng squatted beside Sorata familiarly and asked.

"Hey, what are you knocking here?"

Sorata put down his work and replied honestly.

"The tide is about to rise. Grandpa asked me to strengthen the wooden piles where the villagers park their boats."

Speaking of this, Xia Feng seemed to understand something.

Sorata said yesterday that their village is not far to the east. Judging from this distance, it should be nearby.

These boats are obviously small fishing boats used by the villagers of Nanye Village for daily fishing.

"Sata, is your village near here?"

Sorata turned around and pointed.

"It's right behind those woods, very close."

Xia Feng nodded and continued to ask.

"By the way, have you told your grandpa that we are going to settle here?"

"told."

"What did your grandfather say?"

Sorata thought for a moment.

"Grandpa didn't say anything. He just asked me to go sit in the village next time I meet you. He said he could take some dried fish back to eat."

Xia Feng is definitely not a person who "judges a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart". In just a few words, he can tell that the villagers of Nanye Village must be very simple and will definitely not harm them.

At least Sorata's grandfather was very simple and hospitable.

Since we are so enthusiastic, it is better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. We have already come here anyway, so it would be good to go and see what Nanno Village is like.

And to take a step back, although he does not have any ownership rights to this coast, he has just arrived, so he should pay a visit due to emotion and reason.

"Sata, let's go, take me to your village to play."

"good."

Sorata's reinforcement work was quickly completed. Holding a small hammer, he took Xia Feng back toward the village.

Sorata was obviously not very good at communicating with strangers, but Xia Feng was a super familiar person, so he became casual.

"Brother Xia Feng, there is something I wanted to ask yesterday."

"What's the matter, just ask."

"What's wrong with your eyes? Why are you wearing an eyepatch?"

Xia Feng calmly adjusted his blindfold and spoke in a low voice.

"This eyepatch seals my Evil King's True Eye."

"The True Eye of the Evil King? What is that?"

"It is a mysterious ancient power. If the seal is broken, all lives may be destroyed."

Sorata's dead fish eyes remained unmoved, but his body was unconsciously half a meter away from Xia Feng.

Of course, it is unclear whether he is afraid of the power of the Evil King's True Eye or is worried that mental illness will be contagious.

The entrance of Nanye Village.

A strong old man frowned and asked Xia Feng while stroking his beard.

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

Looking at the strong muscles on the old grandfather's body, Xia Feng replied obediently.

"blind."

"What happened?"

"Accident, accident."

"Hey, you young man, why are you so careless?"

Yes, this muscular grandpa is Sorata's grandpa. Of course, calling him grandpa is probably a bit inappropriate, because he doesn't look very old, and is very different from a conventional grandpa.

Xia Feng felt that if "Grandpa" was serious, he might be able to beat ten young men.

In order to avoid calling him "old", Xia Feng politely called him Uncle Nanye. His surname was Nanye. This title was both polite and friendly.

The size of Nanye Village was similar to what he had expected. It was a standard small hidden village.

There are more than 40 households in the whole village, with a population of less than 200. However, it can be seen that the living facilities are very complete. To put it simply, the quality of life is quite high.

Because the whole village has the surname Nanye, to a large extent they are all one family, so many things are maintained together.

For example, poultry raised in captivity, dried fish dried in a uniform manner, fruit trees near the village, and vegetables and grain grown.

In addition to the most basic survival supplies, each household also has special skills, such as carpentry, honey collecting, pickling, weaving, drying salt, etc. There are even village doctors who have some knowledge of medicine.

Of course, since they depend on the sea for a living, the main job of men is to go fishing and obtain abundant supplies from the sea.

Almost all the men in Nanno Village are experienced sailors.

In addition to things in life, order is also very important. As the saying goes, there is nothing without rules.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. As long as there are rivers and lakes, there must be rules. A village is also a microcosm of society.

Fortunately, the people in Nanye Village are relatively open-minded and kind. There is nothing too strict in the village, and there are no strange "anti-human" customs in the village.

Almost all major decisions that need to be made will be discussed by the clan leader with the older generation, and young people will also listen to the opinions of their elders.

Generally speaking, the living conditions of the villagers in Nanye Village are very comfortable.

I stood at the entrance of the village and had a brief chat with Uncle Nanye, and we quickly became familiar with him.

Although Xia Feng doesn't seem like a good person at first glance, anyone who has come into contact with him will find that he is quite a real person.

Uncle Nanno's full name is Nanno Shimoda. Yesterday, he had heard Sorata mention something about Xia Feng. It was not surprising to see him come to visit him now.

"Haha, I didn't expect you guys to be so powerful that you could actually find our place."

Xia Feng rubbed the back of his head and smiled.

"If you don't come here, it's really disturbing."

"Hey, it's nothing to disturb. The world is vast and everyone can go wherever they want. Just like our village, we like to live on this secluded coast for generations."

Xia Feng gave a thumbs up.

"This is a wonderful place, a paradise. Your ancestors of the Nanye family had good taste."

"Hahaha, you young man is quite interesting to talk to."

After saying that, Uncle Nanye waved enthusiastically.

"Fuutarou, stop standing at the entrance of the village and come in with me to sit down."

Xia Feng was stunned.

"Fuutarou, are you calling me?"

"Yes, I heard Sorata say yesterday that your name is Huo Yu Fuutarou."

"It's Huo Yu Xia Feng."

"almost."

Sorata whispered in Xia Feng's ear.

"Grandpa has a problem. He just can't remember the names of strangers. He always likes to call others Taro So-and-so."

Uncle Nanye didn't have any of the vigilance of a reclusive person, and looked like an amiable elder.

Of course, Xia Feng felt that this was also a sign of confidence.

It's just that he still doesn't know the source of this confidence. Is it the uncle's muscles?

It wasn't until he got to know Nanno Village more deeply that he knew the source of this confidence.

It turns out he wasn't the first person to come to the South Coast to live in seclusion.

Before him, there was a stranger who had lived in seclusion on this coast for decades.
