"What?" Xiaoqing looked suspiciously at the person who approached them, and saw that he was dark-skinned, looked strong, wore straw sandals, and carried a fishing net. He was obviously a fisherman.

"Why can't you be on the street at this time?" Xiaoqing asked.

The fisherman sighed and said, "Follow me into the house first, and then we can talk. It's very dangerous to be here now!"

Xiaoqing didn't move, and didn't know whether the fisherman was an enemy or a friend, and what the meaning of these words was.

Seeing that Xiaoqing and Fahai were not moving, the fishermen looked anxious, walked over and gave Xiaoqing a hand, and said, "Let's go, the weather will change in a while, you are foreigners, where can't you go? You must come to Dongji Island at this time!"

Before Xiaoqing could react, she was dragged away by the fisherman for several steps. She turned her head and looked at Fa Hai, only to see Fa Hai walked a few steps quickly and got between the two of them, separating Xiao Qing from the fisherman.

Xiaoqing snickered, what does Fahai mean?

She quietly tugged at Fahai's sleeve, and Fahai glanced at her, quickly pulled out the sleeve, looked at the fisherman, and asked, "What's the current situation on this island?"

The fisherman quickly approached a stone house, and after Xiaoqing and Fa Hai had entered, he put the fishing nets on the ground and closed the doors and windows, the house suddenly plunged into darkness.

Xiao Qing immediately grabbed Fa Hai's hand, approached him, and asked softly, "What's going on?"

Fahai paused, but he didn't break away from Xiaoqing's hand. He pulled Xiaoqing behind him, and also whispered: "It's nothing, let's take a look first."

Soon, the fisherman lit the kerosene lamp and illuminated the house. He looked at the pair of brothers opposite, and saw one of them holding his brother's hand tightly. Smiling, said: "You two brothers don't need to be afraid of me, I'm really not a bad person."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the stone bench next to him and said, "Sit down, I'll tell you about the matter, and try to send you back tomorrow as early as possible, so that you won't be able to leave if you want to leave." .”

At this moment Fahai broke away from Xiaoqing's hand and said to her, "Sit down."

The three sat down around the stone table.Putting the kerosene lamp in the middle, Xiaoqing looked at the fisherman's bright and dark face, his pupils were clear and bright, he didn't look like someone with evil intentions, so he slowly put down his guard and listened carefully to what he said about Dongji Island.

The fisherman sighed: "A few days ago, a demon monk appeared, and our Dongji Island is not peaceful. Every day at noon, he would come to kill someone. Before you stood on the street, didn't you notice that the sky has changed?"

When he said this, Xiaoqing remembered that the sky of Dongji Island was really cloudy and unusual. She thought that the sky of Dongji Island was like this before, but she didn't expect that it was the monster who was causing trouble.

But... the demon monk?Xiaoqing glanced at Fahai's uneasy face with a smile in her eyes, and the smile in her eyes grew wider.

After a while, Xiaoqing put away the smile in his eyes, looked scared, looked at the fisherman, and asked him: "Since the demon monk is going to kill someone, why don't you run away?"

The fisherman shook his head helplessly: "I can't escape. On the first day that demon monk killed people, he put down his words and only killed one person at noon every day. If we dare to escape, we will kill everyone on the whole island."

Xiaoqing was speechless, she didn't expect this monster to be so cruel.

"However, the demon said that after he took the life of the person he was waiting for, he would stop." The fisherman said.

Xiaoqing's hands under his sleeves gradually clenched, and the person he was waiting for was Fa Hai?

Fa Hai said at this time: "Did that demon monk say, who is he waiting for?"

The fisherman shook his head: "I never said that, and we don't know who that person is."

Xiao Qing looked at Fa Hai and was speechless for a while.

The fisherman said: "But it's definitely not your two brothers who are waiting. The demon monk said to wait for one person. If we can survive today, we will send you across the shore. The demon monk just said that we are not allowed to go out on the island. If you can survive, we will send you to the other side early tomorrow morning."

Fa Hai frowned and thought about it. From the fisherman's point of view, he was worried about his life. The fisherman got up and looked at Xiaoqing, "You and your brother... this is your brother, right?"

Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes."

The fisherman nodded: "Sit down, I will cook."

Xiaoqing stopped the fisherman: "Brother, do you have rice or something like that here? My brother is not feeling well recently, so I dragged him out to play. I want to cook some porridge for him."

The fisherman stopped and looked at Xiaoqing, a little embarrassed: "Mi? I don't have any here."

"It's okay, thank you." Fa Hai stood up and said.

The fisherman nodded, and said with some guilt: "Our island has never had any contact with the outside world. We usually eat fish and shrimp, but there is really no rice here."

Xiaoqing smiled: "It's okay, I don't know what your name is, brother? We brothers still don't know your name yet."

"Oh, my name is Fan Shi. You don't have to call me big brother. I may not be a few years older than you, but I look much older when I go fishing." Fan Shi smiled.

"He is my elder brother, called Pei Wende." Xiao Qing pointed to Fa Hai and said, "My name is Pei Qingshan."

Fan Shi nodded, and went to cook fish soup.

Xiao Qing approached Fa Hai and said softly, "I didn't expect you to know your name is Pei Wende, right?"

At first, Fahai's expression was indifferent and he didn't express anything, but Xiaoqing stared at him, so he followed her words and asked, "How do you know?"

"I care about you." Xiaoqing smiled at Fahai, "I know a lot about you!"

Fahai's expression was serious, and Xiaoqing stopped talking about making him happy when he saw this, and started to talk about business: "The monster, how did you know you would come?"

"He intends to go to Hangzhou to make waves, and finally shows his face, so he will definitely attract the attention of the poor monk."

"I deliberately lured you here? Are you sure which monster it is now?"

Fa Hai nodded: "Understood."

"What did you ask me to do, to make a deal?" Xiaoqing asked.

"Revenge." Fahai said.

Xiao Qing was about to ask Fa Hai what enmity he had with that demon, but Fan Shi suddenly appeared and asked, "Brother Qing Shan, I forgot to ask, can you eat fish?"

"Oh, yes, I won't choose." It took Xiaoqing a while to realize that the "Brother Qingshan" was calling him himself.

Fan Shi nodded, and walked back.

"When the demon comes, the poor monk will go out, and you stay here." Fahai stood up and said.

Xiaoqing's face could not be seen clearly under the candlelight, but her eyes were shining brightly. She focused on Fahai and said, "I'll go out with you."

"No." Fa Hai shook his head, "You are here, you must take care of Fan Shi's life."

Xiaoqing glanced back and could vaguely see Fan Shi squatting behind the stone wall. She nodded and looked at Fa Hai: "Then be careful."

Fa Hai nodded slightly, and the drug-binding rope appeared in front of his eyes. He looked up, Xiaoqing spread the drug-binding rope in front of him, and said, "I'll give you the demon-binding rope."

Fahai didn't move for a long time, he just looked at the rope that bound the demon.

Xiaoqing hesitated, did he not want to tie the demon rope?Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he suddenly saw a smile on Fa Hai's lips, and then he stretched out his hand to take away the rope that bound the demon.

Xiaoqing felt dizzy for a moment, probably because she was fascinated by the beauty, she shook her head vigorously, and finally looked at Fahai, only to see the smile on his lips.

Not an illusion!Xiao Qing looked at Fa Hai expectantly, and said with a smile, "You're laughing! It's really rare."

For a moment, Fahai put back the smile on his lips, turned his eyes away from Xiaoqing, and subconsciously made a movement of holding the Buddha beads in his hands, but at the moment his hands were empty, he had no golden bowl or Buddha beads, and he forgot that he was not dressed as a monk now.

Saying "Amitabha" in his heart, suppressing all the ripples in his heart, Fa Hai withdrew his hands, and his sleeves hung down to block the pair of slender hands, still not looking at Xiaoqing.

Xiao Qing pouted, and heard Fa Hai say to her, "Thank you."

Thank you for whoever wants him!Xiaoqing didn't speak, turned around and walked back.

Behind the stone wall, Fan Shi was squatting with the fish soup in the clay pot. The fish soup was milky white and smelled delicious. Xiaoqing asked Fan Shi, "How do you make this fish soup? It looks delicious."

Fan Shi raised his eyes to look at this fair and clean son, and said with a smile: "Sea fish are delicious, just add the auxiliary ingredients to remove the fishy smell, and boil until loose and rotten."

"Your craftsmanship looks really good." Xiaoqing looked at the fish in the crock and praised.

Fan Shi shook his head, two red clouds could be seen on his dark face, he was probably a little embarrassed by the praise, he shook his head and said: "How can there be any skills, but I have no one in my family, so I can only learn to fish by myself , learn to cook soup, this fish soup, I have been cooking it for almost 20 years, and the taste is not bad.”

"Almost 20 years? I think this fish soup must be delicious in the world." Xiaoqing said sincerely.

"There is no other way. Our small island has no water source, and we can't grow any rice. I'm afraid the food is not the same as yours. We can only rely on sea fish to fill our stomachs."

After Fan Shi finished speaking, the firewood under the earthen pot was also extinguished, leaving only a little light, and the smell of fish overflowed for a while.

Fan Shi brought three bowls and was about to fill the fish soup with a spoon when Xiaoqing asked, "You are the only one in your family?"

Fan Shi nodded while holding the bowl: "Yes."

"Then there are only three of us in the room now?" Xiaoqing asked again.

Fan Shi still nodded: "That's right."

"Okay." Xiaoqing picked up a bowl, put it back to the original place, and said, "Two bowls are enough, he won't eat!"

Fan Shi was stunned for a moment, then said: "Your elder brother don't want this?"

Xiaoqing waved his hands very quickly and said, "He can't eat fish."

Xiaoqing spoke loudly, and Fahai naturally heard it. He stood by the stone table and looked at the stone wall. Xiaoqing's angry appearance could vaguely appear in his mind, and he laughed for a moment. This green snake, is it angry?

"That's good." Fan Shi filled a bowl with fish soup, then filled the bowl with the belly of the fish, and handed it to Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing took it, looked at the little fish soup and fish head and fish tail left in the crock, felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Brother Fan, don't you have too little left for yourself?"

"A lot, a lot, I eat this fish almost every day, and I really don't have much appetite." Fan Shi waved his hand.

Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, and was about to carry the fish soup to the stone table, when she suddenly heard the whistling wind from a distance, it was extremely shrill, and in just a moment, it went from indistinct to filling the whole island.

She turned to look at Fan Shi, only to see that his face was ashen, and the hand holding the spoon did not move.

"He's here." Fan Shi muttered with his lips.

"Monk?" Xiaoqing turned around and put down the bowl in her hand, and asked Fan Shi.

Fan Shi nodded extremely stiffly and said, "I don't know who it will be this time."

Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows and walked quickly towards the stone table.

It was empty and there was no Fa Hai, so he went out.

At this time, crackling rain fell along the strong wind and fell on the stone eaves, deafening.
