"The old man was hit by us?" Li Ren sneezed in the salty sea breeze, "Why do I feel that he is crying?"
Luo Lou has been adjusting his state, and he doesn't want to pay attention to other things now.
"What did he just say? Compulsory confiscation of ships?" Li Peichen withheld this piece of information, "There is almost no one in the southwest. If you have a private boat, you don't hide it and use it openly. Now it's actually Is there anyone else who came out openly and compulsorily expropriated?
Old Wu, a middle-aged man not far away, stood up, and ran towards this side again humming, "I said, at least you listen to what I have to say, and then decide whether you want my boat or not."
Li Ren opened his mouth in front of Cheng Yong, "Tell me well, what are your difficulties?"
Old Wu licked his lips, "About three days ago, I discovered that someone broke our rules."
Cheng Yong asked, "Your rules? Is it the rules of the Southwest?"
The middle-aged man let out a snort, "What rules can there be in the Southwest? The rules I'm talking about are just some rules agreed by us. Because of the restrictions of the central government, ordinary people are not allowed to hide metal boats , especially the coastal and river areas. However, the southwest is on the border, and the terrain changes are unpredictable. From the perspective of the southwest, these laws are also dispensable."
Because of the existence of monsters, the ocean has become a more terrifying domain than the forest on land. Not to mention that fishermen who live by the sea and river have learned to grow vegetables and rice. People who can go to sea in this era have only One—whether it is due to the improvement of strength or the pursuit of interests, the resources in the ocean are always fascinating.
In order to survive better and more stably, skilled and capable people are almost all working for the central or local bases.But there are always some people, the peaceful life has not extinguished their ambitions, and the daily repetition of stability makes them miss the adventurous and exciting life even more.
With the basis of your love and my willingness, the transaction hidden under the light will appear.
This group of adventurers who are not afraid of death raised a group of skilled workers who wanted to survive better, and rushed to the most dangerous and "rich" place-the Southwest.
"That person is completely different from the orders we received before. He said well at the beginning and he also signed the contract." Speaking of this, Lao Wu was a little choked up, "It is inconvenient to get those materials, we have already folded them." Two people went in..."
"Are those two dead?" Li Jian asked.
Old Wu shook his head, "At first, we thought they were dead, but everyone didn't believe it. The picture of Xiaoyuewan has been kept in their hands. The two leaders have gone back and forth hundreds of times. Why? Might be missing!?"
Cheng Yong looked at Old Wu fixedly, "The picture of Xiaoyuewan?"
Old Wu looked like a typical middle-aged man, but Li Ren called him "that old man".He has a boat in his hand, and he knows the surrounding situation like the palm of his hand. Instead of going out to sea, he "wraps up" a group of young people who just came to the southwest and don't understand anything.
Let’s not talk about whether the Southwest people are as indifferent as they saw when they were eating just now, but the style of Lao Wu who can tell these seemingly obscure "truths" to a group of strangers is indeed very wrong.
Tang Wule suddenly said, "Old man, take me to see your boat."
Li Peichen recalled Tang Wule's words in astonishment—take him alone, a middle-aged man alone, and watch the boat! !
Old Wu was obviously also a little surprised. His dry, chapped lips murmured, and he said hesitantly, "You really want to see my boat? Just you... one?"
Luo upstairs took a step forward, "I'll go with you."
Tang Wule's expression now seemed to be completely serious. After a while, he nodded, "Okay, you can take the two of us to see your boat."
Li Peichen and Luo Lou exchanged glances, turned around and walked behind them.
---------
"The two of them just left?"
Li Ren looked at the backs of Tang Wule and Luo Lou, and suddenly became nervous.
"Aren't you weaned yet?" Cheng Yong glanced at him with a half-smile, and the other side immediately shut up.
Li Peichen touched the extra things in his pocket who didn't know when, and felt relieved, "Wu Le and Luo Lou are not here, we should make some preparations first."
"What preparation?" Cheng Yong asked rhetorically.
"What do you think, we foreigners, why can we let that old Wu take a fancy to us to sell his boat at a glance?" Li Peichen kicked the fine sand under his feet, and his black leather boots stepped on the soft sand, making a sound. There were some slight "squeaks". "Don't tell me it's because we look good!"
"Can you control him?" Cheng Yong gestured to Li Ren, and then looked at Li Peichen seriously.
The other party shrugged, "I promise he won't die in the southwest."
"Okay, I'll go to Wule to have a look."
When Cheng Yong urged himself to optimize his abilities, he was able to blend in with the environment. With him following Tang Wule Luolou, Li Peichen felt that he could accept facing Li Ren alone.
"They're all gone?!" Li Ren squatted on the edge of the beach with a mournful face, playing with the sand once in a while.
"You don't know how to swim, or we'd all just go straight to work."
Li Peichen's joke made Li Ren even more angry, "There is a reason why I can't swim! It's not that I don't like swimming, it's just that I can't swim..."
"Oh, so, are you here for my aunt?"
Li Jian stood up suddenly, "What does swimming have to do with coming to my aunt? Wait! Why do I want to come to my aunt!!"
Li Peichen and Li Ren walked along the coastline, and simply sat down against a small rock by the pier.But before listening to the wind and chatting freely, the spoiler came.
"Hey, Mr. Li is so excited." Li Yunwen walked in the front, with a lot of people behind him, and there was a boat not far away.Yes, it's a boat.
Li Ren obediently did not make a sound, he knew that he could not handle this kind of situation.
Li Peichen smiled but said, "Are you ready to go to sea? Yes, you have always been very confident. However, I have to remind you that those who are ahead may not get good things. You always like to do things for others." Marry clothes, this time, you won't let me down, right?"
Hearing these words, Li Yunwen still had a smile on his face, "After I go back this time, my third uncle will report to the clan for me, and open a shrine for a heavy sacrifice."
The third uncle of the Li family is Li Peichen's third uncle, an eighth-level water-type supernatural being.When the whole family was completely transparent about Li Yunwen, a marginal man, the youngest of the Li family dared to say that Li Yunwen was his eldest nephew.
Extremely ironic - the eldest grandson of the Li family has always been alone, Li Peichen, the only son of the head of the Li family, Li Zhanrong.Although Li Yunwen was the same age as Li Peichen, he was several months older than Li Peichen.When Li Yunwen was completely ineligible to enter the Li family's ancestral hall and was named as a descendant of the Li family, Li Zhanfeng, the third son of the Li family, called Li Yunwen his nephew in a grand manner—this was simply slapping Li Zhanrong in the face.
Not to mention that Li Yunwen has been under the nose of the Li family from birth to now, if it is to prevent the blood of the Li family from being spilled outside, when Li Yunwen's father was alive, he would bring him back.Now that Li Yunwen has grown up so much, Li Jiaming has not expressed anything in secret, and this kind of performance is nothing more than acquiescing the other party's status as a marginal person.
Li Zhanfeng is ten years younger than Li Zhanrong. Although he has made a lot of achievements, when Li Zhanrong was full-fledged and just emerging, no one put his treasure on Li Zhanfeng.
Now Li Yunwen and Li Peichen have lost the ten-year difference of the previous generation, and the general environment is basically the same - Li Zhanfeng seems to have seen his young self in Li Yunwen, and he started betting his capital on Li Yunwen desperately.
Li Zhanrong has owned the Li family for 30 years, the foundation was not built overnight, let alone destroyed by Li Zhanfeng and Li Yunwen.
Big nephew?
Let your mother fart!
Li Zhanfeng is an egg?
Li Yunwen did not receive any "jealousy", "resentment" or "irritability" from Li Peichen. On the contrary, the other party kept looking at Li Ren with a smile, "Li Ren, are monkeys smarter or humans smarter?"
Li Jian blinked, stared at Li Yunwen and replied: "Monkeys with self-knowledge are much smarter than people who are obsessed with obsession."
With a sullen face, Li Yunwen flicked his sleeves and boarded the boat. He brought a lot of people, plus the "officially designated" team, and of course there were non-staff personnel, and this group of people also followed on board. .
"Why were you so witty just now?" Li Peichen turned around and asked Li Jian, "The style of painting just now is completely wrong!"
Li Ren blinked, "Really! I just looked so handsome!"
-----------------
Besides, Tang Wule and Luo Lou followed Lao Wu all the way, and Luo Lou walked beside Tang Wule without fear at all. He felt a little ashamed, but the fact was that the other party really gave him a sense of security.
"Someone has already broken the anti-normal rules, and there is no need for me to stick to them."
Old Wu suddenly stopped, "From the moment I walked into you, I have broken the rules."
Tang Wule seemed to be distracted, he moved his fingers casually, and Luo Lou clearly saw some subtle changes in the eyes of the middle-aged man.
"If you have anything to say, can you finish it all at once?" Unbearable, Tang Wule really wanted to feed this stinky old man a medicine, procrastinating like a neurotic and annoying dead man!
Old Wu didn't know how many times he licked his dry and flaky lips, "The boats in Xiaoyue Bay will never be lent to outsiders, even if rented. This happened eight years ago. We Put away your heart and take courage to do things, just don't want that kind of thing to happen again. But now, eight years later, the nightmare repeats itself."
Eight years ago, it was the time when Gu Chongyou led the team to the southwest.It was the first time that the central government sent troops and related teams to work in Xinhai. Although the process was kept secret, Southwesterners lived here every day, and they couldn't detect what happened around them.
People in the Southwest cannot live without a boat. The mutated food only fills their stomachs, but it cannot fill their empty and swollen desires.They brought the method of dealing with the prey in the ocean to the dining table—one passed on from one person to another, and in the end, it became a secret hidden in the hearts of Southwesterners, oh no, how can something that everyone knows can be a secret.
This is the rule of the Southwest.
Those who come to the Southwest with the intention of hunting for treasure will probably shrink back in the face of the unfathomable sea and the reality that the danger is far beyond their expectations. Absolutely, there will always be fewer people returning from the southwest.
They looked at those who hesitated day by day, ate the southwestern food without any taste - and then looked for the opportunity to go to sea without hesitation.
Those "gold diggers" from other places began to try their best to get news from the locals.
How to get to Xinhai?what do you need?How to find those resources?How do you get things out of the sea?How to distribute?How do you change what you have into what you want?
As long as there is one person who breaks the original balance, other people with unfulfilled desires will not fall behind.
-----------------
"This is retribution." Luo Lou said in a low voice, "You use those outsiders who want to seek gold and return home to fulfill your own goals. As long as there is someone with a wilder heart and more courage than you..."
What he didn't say next, Old Wu would naturally understand.
"This is indeed the sin of the Southwesterners themselves. Both sides are using each other, but we have some advantages. No one knows the Southwest better than us. For their own ignorance, and the ignorance they agree with, they have to pay Some price."
Tang Wule remained expressionless, "So, didn't you also pay the price of ignorance?"
Old Wu nodded.
"Be honest, old man, I'm like the people you've been coaxing in the past."
Hearing this sentence, Old Wu's eyes flickered again, and he habitually licked his peeling lips.
"This mask has too many flaws. It's hard work for you to change it every day." Tang Wule raised his eyelids, "Do it yourself, it's disgusting to watch."
Tang Wule is good at disguise. After his death, Tang Aoxia knew the true identity of his youngest son.Being able to do this, Tang Wule really felt that any pretense in front of him would be full of flaws.
Just like the stinky old man in front of him, most of them are middle-aged people who disguised themselves as old people.It is not the first time Tang Wule has seen someone as old as him who easily looks like a middle-aged man.
In old age, the body is declining, but there are some exceptions—it is abnormal that there are no demons near the core of the magnetic field.
"I'm almost unable to keep this secret anymore." Old Wu's ending turned into a sigh, and he looked at the two young boys, "I know you are still doubting me, but I already agree with you."
"Eight years ago, that person was like this too. You are very similar, and I can tell at a glance."
Old Wu, who tore off his mask, revealed his true face—this face was covered with wrinkles, just like other elderly people, old enough to show his age.But the only dissonance with this face was his skin color. His bluish complexion made Old Wu look like a water ghost sinking in the bottom of the water.
"I've been like this for a long time." Old Wu's tone was very calm, and he didn't seem to care at all, "I knew that I would have such a day, and I didn't have long to live. In the past two years, I came to the Southwest There are more and more people, and I wonder if he will come."
Old Wu touched his face, put his hand into his clothes, and took out a new mask.
"How about this one? I'll change to this one later!"
Luo Lou shook his head, "They're all ugly."
Old Wu pursed his lips in displeasure, "I'm already this age, so of course I can't compare to you!"
"We didn't come here to discuss how much face you have." Tang Wule twisted his neck, "Either talk about business, or do business."
The old man put away his face and smacked his lips, "I've said everything I need to say! If I keep on talking, I guess I will die sooner!"
"What do Southwesterners put in their meals? Can it make people so crazy?" Luo Lou asked suddenly.
Old Wu smiled, "That doesn't make people crazy, but makes people return to the most real state." To fully realize the desire in the bottom of my heart is a kind of ultimate return to truth, and it is also a kind of truth in another sense. crazy.
Tang Wule looked at the pale and wrinkled old Wu, and his heart slowly fell silent.
In the Southwest, the first person who knew how to add that kind of food to his meals must have tried it himself.And the person who first discovered this kind of thing must be the craziest person.
"As you can see now, the Southwesterners themselves have suffered retribution. We can't get out, and the wealth we have accumulated has been accumulated in the Southwest for generations. Xinhai has changed more and more in the past few generations, but I know, One day, the mountains will be uprooted from the bottom of the sea again, some things will flow away with the sea water, and some things will fall into the abyss of the bottom of the sea, but they will finally stand on the top because of the formation of the peak."
Old Wu led the two of them along the way, twisting and turning, gradually shifting away from the coastline.
"Where is this going?" Luo Lou looked at the road that was getting worse and worse, and asked.
"Aren't you going to follow me to see my boat?" Old Wu looked innocent, "Don't be afraid, there are probably not many people who can recognize me in Xiaoyue Bay now, I guarantee that no one will come I am looking for trouble for you. Although my ship is small, it definitely came from a serious channel!"
Tang Wule couldn't hold back his snort, this old man, I don't know if he is really confused or fake.While talking about Southwest people building ships privately in violation of laws and regulations, and bringing outsiders to "gold digging" together, while talking about someone forcibly confiscating the ships in Xiaoyue Bay, and at the same time finding a group of people nervously, trying to sell their small boats .
"Wu Le, are you sure we're really not crazy to follow this old man all the way?" The two of them kept a distance of at least 20 meters from the old man, and Luo Lou wasn't sure if the old man in front could hear them. Talk, but calm as he can not hold back.
The boy shook his head, "Even if something happens, it's his business. Don't worry."
Facing the completely indifferent attitude of his teammates, Luo Lou did not dare to relax his vigilance.
"It's almost there!"
Old Wu stopped, and the two big boys came closer and looked at it, and they were speechless immediately.
"Let's go! It's right ahead! Aren't you here to see the boat?" The old man was obviously confused, "Why didn't you follow me?"
Tang Wule took a step back calmly, he could feel Luo Lou beside him pulling his wrist, "This old man is crazy."
--------------
"Boss! You're back!" Li Ren fell asleep on the rock, and when he saw Cheng Yong from afar, he immediately stood up.
"Hey, that's not right! Where's Wu Le and Luo Lou?" Looking at Cheng Yong who was alone, Li Ren blinked, "Are you back alone?"
Li Peichen rarely sees Cheng Yong with a confused expression on his face, "What's going on?"
Cheng Yong shook his head, "I don't know, I followed the breath of Wu Le and Luo Lou all the way, obviously not far away, but I can't get close. I guess, they should have entered the secondary space."
A middle-aged man from the Southwest, followed by two young boys with stunned heads, such a strange combination, walking all the way, no one thought it was strange-this in itself is a bit strange.
The difference in temperament and appearance of Southwesterners can be discerned almost at a glance.
"That old man kidnapped Wu Le and Luo Lou!" Li Ren suddenly burst out, "It must be so! When I first saw him, I felt something was wrong. My intuition was very accurate. Wu Le began to want When a person follows him, I feel very abnormal!"
Li Peichen has a deep understanding of Li Ren's intuition, it's more like a crow's mouth than an intuition.Because of his intuition, there has always been only bad and no good.
"That old man?"
Cheng Yong asked back, Li Peichen was thoughtful, this is the second time Li Ren mentioned "that old man".
Li Ren wanted to save his teammates, "It's not an old man, it's something!"
Luo Lou has been adjusting his state, and he doesn't want to pay attention to other things now.
"What did he just say? Compulsory confiscation of ships?" Li Peichen withheld this piece of information, "There is almost no one in the southwest. If you have a private boat, you don't hide it and use it openly. Now it's actually Is there anyone else who came out openly and compulsorily expropriated?
Old Wu, a middle-aged man not far away, stood up, and ran towards this side again humming, "I said, at least you listen to what I have to say, and then decide whether you want my boat or not."

"I've been like this for a long time." Old Wu's tone was very calm, and he didn't seem to care at all, "I knew that I would have such a day, and I didn't have long to live. In the past two years, I came to the Southwest There are more and more people, and I wonder if he will come."
Old Wu touched his face, put his hand into his clothes, and took out a new mask.
"How about this one? I'll change to this one later!"
Luo Lou shook his head, "They're all ugly."
Old Wu pursed his lips in displeasure, "I'm already this age, so of course I can't compare to you!"
"We didn't come here to discuss how much face you have." Tang Wule twisted his neck, "Either talk about business, or do business."
The old man put away his face and smacked his lips, "I've said everything I need to say! If I keep on talking, I guess I will die sooner!"
"What do Southwesterners put in their meals? Can it make people so crazy?" Luo Lou asked suddenly.
Old Wu smiled, "That doesn't make people crazy, but makes people return to the most real state." To fully realize the desire in the bottom of my heart is a kind of ultimate return to truth, and it is also a kind of truth in another sense. crazy.
Tang Wule looked at the pale and wrinkled old Wu, and his heart slowly fell silent.
In the Southwest, the first person who knew how to add that kind of food to his meals must have tried it himself.And the person who first discovered this kind of thing must be the craziest person.
"As you can see now, the Southwesterners themselves have suffered retribution. We can't get out, and the wealth we have accumulated has been accumulated in the Southwest for generations. Xinhai has changed more and more in the past few generations, but I know, One day, the mountains will be uprooted from the bottom of the sea again, some things will flow away with the sea water, and some things will fall into the abyss of the bottom of the sea, but they will finally stand on the top because of the formation of the peak."
Old Wu led the two of them along the way, twisting and turning, gradually shifting away from the coastline.
"Where is this going?" Luo Lou looked at the road that was getting worse and worse, and asked.
"Aren't you going to follow me to see my boat?" Old Wu looked innocent, "Don't be afraid, there are probably not many people who can recognize me in Xiaoyue Bay now, I guarantee that no one will come I am looking for trouble for you. Although my ship is small, it definitely came from a serious channel!"
Tang Wule couldn't hold back his snort, this old man, I don't know if he is really confused or fake.While talking about Southwest people building ships privately in violation of laws and regulations, and bringing outsiders to "gold digging" together, while talking about someone forcibly confiscating the ships in Xiaoyue Bay, and at the same time finding a group of people nervously, trying to sell their small boats .
"Wu Le, are you sure we're really not crazy to follow this old man all the way?" The two of them kept a distance of at least 20 meters from the old man, and Luo Lou wasn't sure if the old man in front could hear them. Talk, but calm as he can not hold back.
The boy shook his head, "Even if something happens, it's his business. Don't worry."
Facing the completely indifferent attitude of his teammates, Luo Lou did not dare to relax his vigilance.
"It's almost there!"
Old Wu stopped, and the two big boys came closer and looked at it, and they were speechless immediately.
"Let's go! It's right ahead! Aren't you here to see the boat?" The old man was obviously confused, "Why didn't you follow me?"
Tang Wule took a step back calmly, he could feel Luo Lou beside him pulling his wrist, "This old man is crazy."
--------------
"Boss! You're back!" Li Ren fell asleep on the rock, and when he saw Cheng Yong from afar, he immediately stood up.
"Hey, that's not right! Where's Wu Le and Luo Lou?" Looking at Cheng Yong who was alone, Li Ren blinked, "Are you back alone?"
Li Peichen rarely sees Cheng Yong with a confused expression on his face, "What's going on?"
Cheng Yong shook his head, "I don't know, I followed the breath of Wu Le and Luo Lou all the way, obviously not far away, but I can't get close. I guess, they should have entered the secondary space."
A middle-aged man from the Southwest, followed by two young boys with stunned heads, such a strange combination, walking all the way, no one thought it was strange-this in itself is a bit strange.
The difference in temperament and appearance of Southwesterners can be discerned almost at a glance.
"That old man kidnapped Wu Le and Luo Lou!" Li Ren suddenly burst out, "It must be so! When I first saw him, I felt something was wrong. My intuition was very accurate. Wu Le began to want When a person follows him, I feel very abnormal!"
Li Peichen has a deep understanding of Li Ren's intuition, it's more like a crow's mouth than an intuition.Because of his intuition, there has always been only bad and no good.
"That old man?"
Cheng Yong asked back, Li Peichen was thoughtful, this is the second time Li Ren mentioned "that old man".
Li Ren wanted to save his teammates, "It's not an old man, it's something!"
