Chapter 13 Fate Does Not Knock 4
Cheng Jin and Yang Simi lived on the first floor. At dawn, Cheng Jin heard that Xiao An had already woken up, and she was clamoring to watch the sunrise.Yang Simi whispered, "There's something to see. Don't go." He wrapped his hands and feet around Cheng Jin.
"Yeah." Cheng Jin held Yang Simi's hand and fell asleep again after a while.
When Cheng Jin and Yang Simi decided to get up, it was already eleven o'clock. It was too hot, and they couldn't fall asleep anyway.At this time of year, thick coats are already required in Beijing. Here, only short-sleeved shirts are fine at noon, and long-sleeved shirts are only needed in the morning and evening when it is slightly cooler.
Cheng Jin knew the destination and prepared a lot of thin clothes, but Ye Lai and the others might have to buy some clothes here.Cheng Jin opened the suitcase, took short sleeves and cotton casual pants and threw them on the bed.
Yang Simi turned to avoid the clothes, "Cheng Jin, let's go swimming."
"We'll see the situation later. We have to go around the island first and get to know the people here a little bit." Having said that, Cheng Jin still found out his swimming trunks before closing his suitcase, no matter whether he had time to go to the beach or not. , let's put it on first, or if I go to the beach in a while, Yang Simi might just take off her clothes and jump into the sea to swim naked.
After leaving the room, Cheng Jin saw the note left by Ye Lai on the wooden table in the main room, which said that they went to the city for big shopping with Hu Qiao and Huang Jing. Cheng Jin estimated that they should be in Qinyuan today. It's late in the city, maybe they won't be able to come back today, so don't he and Yang Simi have to go to Lao Zhao's house for dinner again today?Looking down, the note reads at the end: Breakfast in the kitchen.And it was specifically stated that the salted fish was fried by Ye Zi and Xiaoan!The handwriting of this sentence is Xiao An's.
The kitchen is two small bungalows next to the building. The door is unlocked. Yang Simi pushed open a wooden door. The room that should be used for eating appeared in front of them. There are wooden round tables and bars. The next room connected to here is the kitchen. There is an old-fashioned stove in the corner, and the diameter of the pot on it is quite large. It is difficult for Ye Lai and the others to cook breakfast with these tools that are not handy.
There was a cover on the dining table, and Cheng Jin lifted it to see that there was a small pot of porridge and a plate of fried salted fish inside.Cheng Jindao: "When I was young, I liked to eat the salted fish fried by my mother."
Yang Simi said: "You never cooked it for me."
Cheng Jin didn't have time to be sad, "There must be a lot of salted fish on this island, I'll try it another day, but I'm afraid this stove is not easy to control the heat, and I don't know if it can light a fire."
Yang Simi said: "It's definitely not difficult."
Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Oh? Then I'll leave it to you."
"Hmm." Yang Simi pinched a piece of salted fish with his hands, took a bite, and said with a frown, "It's very salty."
Cheng Jin said, "Does your tongue still hurt?"
"A little."
"Then don't eat it." Cheng Jin went to the kitchen to search, but couldn't find any sugar, so he had to give up.After serving the porridge, Cheng Jin removed the bones of the salted fish, crushed the fish meat and mixed it into the porridge. He tasted it, "It's not bad, it's not salty anymore." He fed Yang Simi a mouthful, "When I was a child I often eat it this way, but more often it is mixed with soup and eaten with rice.”
Perhaps it was because Cheng Jin said it was delicious, but Yang Simi thought it was okay, so he said while drinking the salted fish porridge, "Fish soup?"
Cheng Jin said: "No, at that time the most common dishes were bean curd soup, loofah soup, vegetable egg drop soup, and anchovy mushroom egg soup."
Yang Simi was upset, "You haven't even done it."
Cheng Jin smiled and said: "I haven't eaten it for many years, since I settled in Beijing. Now I like tomato and egg soup the most." They don't cook much, and the soup they make most is tomato and egg soup. Because every time Yang Simi went to the vegetable market, he had to buy tomatoes. At most, there were three dishes on the table with tomatoes.
Yang Simi said: "In the future, we will also make the soup you just mentioned."
Cheng Jin said: "Okay, what was the dish you ate the most when you were young? We can try it too."
Yang Simi thought for a while, and said innocently: "I have no impression." When his parents were there, he was still at an age where he didn't like to eat.
"Yeah." Cheng Jin leaned over and kissed Yang Simi.
Yang Simi said: "My tongue hurts." Then he double kissed back...
After eating, Cheng Jin and Yang Simi went around their temporary house.There is a cliff more than ten meters away from their house, and the sea is below. You can clearly see the large rocks in the sea. It seems that it is impossible to try diving here.Somewhere behind the house were other people's houses, and Cheng Jin pulled Yang Simi along the ridge towards the residential area.
A lot of people gathered in front of a house. Someone saw Cheng Jin and the two and greeted them from a distance, causing others to look at them too.
Old Zhao left the crowd and walked towards Cheng Jin and Yang Simi, "Here we come, those friends of yours went to the city this morning."
"I know." Cheng Jin looked at the crowd and asked, "What are you doing? Are you in a meeting?"
Old Zhao said: "Someone is missing on the island."
"Oh? You've already looked for it on the island?" The island is said to be a small island, but it's actually not too small. After all, there is still a place to build a small reservoir on the island, but Cheng Jin still can't think of "someone is missing". what happened.
"I've looked for it, but he's not on the island." Old Zhao frowned, looking at the blue water around the island.
Cheng Jin said: "Is it an adult or a child? When did you find out that he was missing?"
Old Zhao said: "My lord, I just found out that no one is in the room this morning..." There are only a few children under the age of 15 on Daxing Island, and the elderly at home will take care of them and will not let them run around.
"Old Zhao!" A middle-aged man came over. He quickly looked at Cheng Jin and Yang Simi. He smiled at Cheng Jin and the others, and then said to Old Zhao, "Don't scare the guests. In a hurry, I guess Shiyong may have gone back to the city first, he had a quarrel with me yesterday, he was probably still angry with me, so he didn't say anything to me."
Old Zhao said: "But doesn't it mean that the boat is still there?"
The middle-aged man shook his head, "Who knows him. Maybe Shiwen has found him by now." He took out his phone to check, but there was no message yet, and he didn't know whether the signal was too bad or no one had contacted him.
Lao Zhao didn't talk about the embarrassing thing anymore, he said to Cheng Jin: "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come to my house for lunch later!"
Cheng Jin smiled and said, "No, we just woke up and had breakfast just now."
Old Zhao said: "Drink the porridge, right? I heard from that little girl that she cooked the porridge. It doesn't work. It will be gone after urinating. I come to my house to eat at noon, but it's just poured in the pot A few handfuls of rice, no trouble."
Cheng Jin couldn't refuse anymore, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much. I just don't want to use your pots and stoves. If I want to make lunch by myself, I will probably have dinner when it is cooked."
Old Zhao was amused, "You urbanites don't know how to do this, I'll teach you later."
Cheng Jin said: "Cheng, I have to learn from you seriously. We want to take a tour around the island, is there anything we should pay attention to?"
Old Zhao laughed and said, "No, we're not Peach Blossom Island here, and we don't have formations. Let's go, I'll take you away."
Cheng Jin didn't refuse, "Then I'll trouble you again. Do you also like watching martial arts?..."
Walking along the hillside to the top of the mountain, a small green lake appeared in front of Cheng Jin and the others. It was originally a long and narrow valley with low terrain. Originally, there was not much water here. Later, Lao Zhao and the others built a dam, and it became a lake. Small reservoir.
Old Zhao smiled and said, "Is our reservoir not bad?"
Yang Simi asked, "Can I swim?"
Lao Zhao immediately shook his head, "No, the water here is for drinking. Have you seen the water tower?" He pointed to the thick cement-like object on the mountain next to him, "Pump the water into the water tower, and then it will become home water. The water in the bridle is clean, and it is much better than the tap water in Qinyuan City."
"Well, the water quality is good." Cheng Jin said, "Can the person you are looking for swim?"
Old Zhao nodded, "Yes. We also went to the beach to look for it, but we didn't see anyone." He looked at the reservoir in front of him and his expression changed, "This reservoir... people usually don't come here specially." If someone drowns In this reservoir, the whole island is in tragedy.
Yang Simi said: "It doesn't matter, so many people died in the sea, everyone can still swim in it, and everyone can still eat those marine animals and plants."
Old Zhao's face became even uglier.
Cheng Jin grabbed Yang Simi and said awkwardly, "Why don't we move on?"
Old Zhao nodded and walked ahead to lead the way.
Cheng Jin said: "The person who spoke to us just now, his accent should be the Northeast person you mentioned last night?"
Old Zhao was not in high spirits, "Yes."
Cheng Jin said again: "They returned to the island last night? When we returned from your place last night, we saw lights on the sea."
Old Zhao said: "It should be them. The man you saw just now is called Liu Hongye, we call him Da Liu, and he has two cousins called Liu Shiyong and Liu Shiwen. The one who is missing is Liu Shiyong."
Cheng Jin said: "They should all live together? Didn't you hear anything at night?"
Old Zhao said: "They all have their own houses. Da Liu said that Liu Shiyong had a quarrel with him, so after going to the island, he went back to his own house."
Cheng Jin said, "Maybe he went back to the city."
"I hope so." Lao Zhao took Cheng Jin and the others down the hillside, and then passed through a small forest, and a small beach appeared in front of them. The water here is fine and clear. "We will be here in the evening." Take a shower, you can swim here."
Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Your island is really nice!" Yesterday evening, I thought I had arrived at a deserted island, but today, I saw that this island is an undeveloped natural scenic spot.
Yang Simi was already walking towards the sea, Cheng Jin quickly caught up with him and grabbed him, "Take off your clothes first."
Yang Simi kicked off his slippers, took off his clothes and threw them on the beach, then took off the bracelets on his hands and threw them on the clothes, and then quickly ran into the sea, causing splashes all the way.
Old Zhao's expression softened, he shook his head and said with a smile, "He's like a child."
Cheng Jin smiled and said, "It's because your place is so beautiful. Those of us who come from the inland area don't usually see this kind of scenery."
Old Zhao proudly said: "Compared with Qinyuan's platinum beach, it's not bad! You play here slowly, and I'll call you when the meal is over." It only takes a few minutes to walk from his house.
Cheng Jin looked at Yang Simi in the sea, and said with some regret, "I had to learn how to make a fire from you."
Old Zhao said with a smile: "Let's study again tonight!"
"Yezi and the others should be back at night, but they will use that stove to light a fire..."
When it was time for lunch, Lao Zhao sent a few children to find Cheng Jin and the others, and Cheng Jin almost coaxed Yang Simi to go ashore.
Several children watched Cheng Jin and Yang Simi put on their clothes. The oldest child was about ten years old, and the youngest was only three or four years old. He was still wearing open pants. The children smiled and said, "You are playing in the water with your pants on!"
Cheng Jin smiled helplessly. It seems that the people on this island don't have the habit of wearing swimsuits. Is it difficult for them to follow the Romans in the future?He took out candy from his trouser pocket and distributed it to the children, peeled another candy and gave it to Yang Simi, and then asked the children, "Little friend, has that lost uncle been found?"
The oldest child said: "There is no one on the island, they went to the city to look for it..."
After listening to the child for a while, Cheng Jin understood that when Yang Hongye and the others came to the island, usually eight people came together. One of them disappeared this morning, and now the remaining three are still on the island. I personally went back to Qinyuan City to find someone, but it seems that I haven't found it yet.
Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Are they also here to fish when they come to the island?"
A child said: "They don't fish, my dad said they are rich and don't need to fish."
The youngest child couldn't tear off the plastic candy wrapper, biting it so much that it was covered with saliva, Yang Simi reached out and took his candy away, the child was stunned, before he could cry, Yang Simi returned the torn candy to him Yes, the child put the candy in his mouth and smiled.
Cheng Jin smiled and peeled off the candy for Yang Simi.
