God's offering

Lu Yinbai stood on the pier, sighed helplessly, beside Su Yinxiu was carrying her luggage, looked around and asked, "Is it true that no one is willing to go to Morning Star Island?"

Lu Yinbai wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Looks like it's gone."

He thought for a while, then turned and walked in another direction, Su Yinxiu hurried to follow, Lu Yin waved his hand without looking back, and said: "You rest here for a while, I will find someone. "

Su Yinxiu responded, put down her luggage, squatted on the ground without any image, and watched Lu Yinbai leave.

Lu Yinbai walked around the village. This is a fishing village near the sea. Today, most of the villagers still make a living by fishing. There are not many people going to sea at this time. Men, women and children in the village are all in the alley at the entrance Chatting in the cool.

He searched with his vague memory for a long time before he found the destination. He politely knocked on the door twice, and before the owner could answer, he opened the door and entered. Inside was a young man in his twenties holding his mouth. Cleaning the fishing net while smoking a cigarette, he looked up and saw him, the corners of his mouth drooped in a daze, "Why is it you?"

Lu Yinbai lazily said: "It's me." His tone was rather beating, and even his expression seemed to say "Someone is coming to bite me".

He walked up to the young man, kicked his waist, "Take me back to the island."

The young man's face became even worse, "What are you going back for?!"

Lu Yinbai raised his eyebrows, grabbed his cigarette and smoked it himself, "Why can't I go back to my house?"

The young man stood up and snatched the cigarette back, "If Ah Bao sees you smoking, he will smoke you to death."

Lu Yinbai squinted his eyes, but didn't answer.

The young man was silent for a moment, cleared his throat, and changed the subject, "It's okay to take you to the island, but this time, don't ask me to help you run away like last time. Let me tell you, just what happened last time, I I was scolded miserably, and said that I would not be allowed to participate in the festival next time."

Lu Yinbai tugged at the corner of his lips, "What is there to participate in?"

He didn't wait for the young man to get angry, and lazily put his arm on the other's shoulder, "It doesn't matter about such trivial matters, I have a girl waiting for me, hurry up!"

Su Yinxiu saw Lu Yinbai's figure from a distance, immediately stood up, waved her hand, "Senior!"

Seeing Su Yinxiu, the young man was surprised and said, "There is really a girl?!"

Lu Yinbai looked at him in surprise, "Do you think I'm lying?!"

The young man asked back, "When will you not lie?"

Lu Yinbai said straightforwardly: "I never lie."

The two came to Su Yinxiu with their mouths arguing, and Lu Yinbai introduced, "This is my friend, Lin Yue."

Lin Yue wiped his hands cautiously, and sincerely extended his hand to the girl, "Hello..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yinbai pulled Su Yinxiu and left, "Okay, the introduction is over, we can set off."

Lin Yue silently withdrew his hand, gritted his teeth and gave a middle finger to Lu Yinbai's back.

Several people boarded the boat. Lu Yinbai stood beside Lin Yue, squinting his eyes at the star-studded island in the distance, and asked, "Why don't people in the village go to Morning Star Island?"

Lin Yue didn't look sideways, and said: "Since you ran out that time, the island has become more and more xenophobic. In the past two years, let alone tourists, the people in our villages only have a fixed time to go. One month is the festival, except for the people on the original island, other people are forbidden to approach Morning Star Island."

Lu Yinbai stroked his chin, and said in a deep thought: "It seems that I am really a sinful man."

Lin Yue rolled his eyes at him, "I'm not going back to the island until two days before the festival this time, don't make any fools out of me."

Lu Yinbai gave him a strange look, "Have you identified yourself as my father?"

Lin Yue felt that he was really blind for nothing, so he decided not to say a word to this bastard again.

Morning Star Island is quite large among the islands in this sea area. There are even several mountain peaks on the island, stretching into a piece, leaving only a small piece of flat land in the mountain nest for the islanders to live in. The mountains and the sea make this island The island has beautiful scenery, and there are even hot springs in the caves in the mountains.If there is a developer who develops Morning Star Island into a tourist attraction, many people will come here admiringly.

However, Morningstar Island is located in a remote location, and only a few fishing villages along the coast know how to get there. In addition, the residents on the island are very xenophobic. For decades, it has been rare for islanders to live outside, let alone let others come to travel. Some donkey friends will come over, and according to Lin Yue, it seems that even donkey friends are no longer good in the past two years.

After the boat sailed for a long time, Lu Yinbai saw the outline of Chenxing Island from afar. Su Yinxiu came out from the cabin and asked, "Are you coming soon?"

Lin Yue nodded, pointed to the large expanse of emerald green in the distance, and said, "That's it."

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did you tell your parents when you came back?"

Lu Yinbai shook his head.

Lin Yue's face suddenly became very exciting, "I think it's only a short distance away, or you can use lifeboats to row across?"

Lu Yinbai glanced at him, "Qixi, they must be taking a nap at this point, let us go as soon as you let us down."

After driving for about ten minutes, Lin Yue anchored and parked the boat on a deserted pier. Lu Yinbai helped Su Yinxiu carry the luggage and got off the boat, saying, "Okay, you can go back."

Lin Yue said angrily: "You don't even say thank you, white-eyed wolf!"

He was about to turn around and board the boat, but someone stopped him, "Lin Yue, you brat, stop!"

Lin Yue was startled when he heard the sound, frowned, turned around and shouted, "Mom?"

As soon as he saw the people behind his mother, his face turned blue, and he shouted, "Uncle Lu, Auntie."

Lu Yinbai frowned, "Mom, why are you here?"

Lu Qi sneered, "You still know how to come back?"

Lu Yinbai knew in his heart that someone in the village must have seen him and Lin Yue leave, so he made a small report to his father, but he didn't talk back, just stood there lazily, and said to Lin Yue: "It seems that you can't leave either. "

Lin Yue's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he gave him a hard look, then slowly moved to his mother's side to stand there, to show that he had a firm stand and would never join forces with Lu Yinbai.

Lu Qi has a sullen face, he looks very majestic, and when he is angry, he is even more scary. Lu Yinbai has long been used to it, and he didn't respond. ah."

Lu Qi waved his hand, Lin Yue wanted to say something, but his mother twisted his waist and dragged him away.

Lu Yinbai's mother had been silent for a while, and finally spoke at this moment: "Let's talk when we go back, the sea wind is strong here."

Lu Qi turned around and left first, Lu's mother came over, looked at Su Yinxiu, and took Lu Yinbai's backpack without asking any more questions, "Be nicer, your father is not so cruel."

Lu Yinbai nodded noncommittally.

A few people walked a winding mountain road, then descended the slope, and saw the village. Lu Yinbai pointed to the house at the highest point, and said to Su Yinxiu: "That's my home."

Su Yinxiu opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "Senior, your house is so big."

The house that Lu Yinbai pointed to was already the size of a small park when viewed from a height. Under the black eaves, the courtyards were overlapping and densely packed, and it was hard to tell how many rooms there were. The architectural style was very simple and it could be seen that the repairs were meticulous , a detached position.

In the back half of the courtyard, there is a large open space. If you are far away, you can't see what is on the open space. Su Yinxiu squinted her eyes for a while, thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Senior, what do you do there?"

Lu Yinbai looked in the direction she pointed, and said, "That's where the sacrificial ceremony is held, and the rooms around the altar are usually forbidden to enter and leave. Only when the ceremony starts, will it be opened to specific people."

Both of them lowered their voices very softly, but Lu's mother turned her head and gestured. Lu Yinbai frowned impatiently and closed her mouth.

Su Yinxiu stuck out her tongue, although she was full of curiosity, she didn't ask any more questions.

After entering the village, no matter whether it was the person sitting at the door sorting the fishing nets or picking the vegetable leaves, they all stopped and said hello to Lu Qi. They also saw Lu Yinbai and Su Yinxiu following behind, but no one dared to follow They looked at each other, Lu Yinbai seemed to have been mentally prepared long ago, he dragged his feet lazily behind, Su Yinxiu followed step by step, and was so oppressed by the atmosphere that he even breathed a lot easier.

Several people walked up the bluestone road in the middle of the village, and arrived at the house after walking for more than ten minutes. Lu Qi went in without even looking at Lu Yinbai.

Lu's mother stopped and said, "Ah Bai's room has been cleaned up all the time, you can go there, I will take this little girl to the guest room."

Lu Yinbai hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go there first."

Lu's mother gave him a dissatisfied look, but acquiesced.

Except for the altar at the back, the rest of Lu’s house is still horribly large. The guest room is not too far away from the master’s room, and there is only a courtyard in between. There are many flowers and plants in the courtyard, as well as an exquisite fish pond. , Su Yinxiu passed by the porch, and couldn't help but marvel in her heart. Nowadays, if such a house is in a city, it may be sold for a sky-high price.

Lu's mother pushed open the door facing the fish pond, "The conditions in the countryside are poor, there is no air conditioner or anything, the little girl should take care of it."

Su Yinxiu quickly waved her hands and said, "It's okay, the temperature here is suitable, and there is no need for an air conditioner."

Mother Lu nodded, and turned on the light. The room layout was as simple as the outside of the house, but the furniture was all finely crafted. Su Yinxiu put down her luggage, and couldn't help touching the hollowed-out window sills.

Lu Yinbai looked around the room, and said to Su Yinxiu, "Don't run around without me, the signal here is not very good, and it's inconvenient to make a phone call."

Su Yinxiu nodded and asked, "Where is the senior's room?"

Lu Yinbai pointed backwards, "Just turn left in the corridor you walked in from over there."

Su Yinxiu looked there with her head probed, and said "oh".

Mama Lu has already exited the room and was waiting for Lu Yinbai by the door, and Lu Yinbai couldn't stay longer, so she had to leave with Mama Lu.
