The old sailor brought a young sailor, thin and tall, with a blue and purple face, so coincidentally it was one of the four sailors who had been taught by Long Qiaoguang in the woods before.
This person's surname is Zhou, his name is Zhou Guang, a southerner, who originally did some miscellaneous work in the southern coastal defense, and was recently transferred to Kaifeng to be integrated into the navy, so it is understandable that these people are lax in discipline.
Zhou Guang limped when he walked, which didn't seem to be very convenient, and Zhao Pu wondered, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Guang was embarrassed, after the four of them came back, they obediently followed Long Qiaoguang's instructions to get the ten military sticks, but now that I think about it, it can be regarded as lucky, fortunately, when Long Qiaoguang tried them before, he didn't say that Zhao Pu was there, otherwise a hundred military sticks are light I heard that these four deputy generals and Zhao Pu are brothers, if they really betray Zhao Pu, they may be slaughtered on the spot.
The sailor who came with Zhou Guang was the head of their bunch of people, so he told Zhao Pu what happened.
Zhao Pu smiled, Gongsun stuffed a bottle of gold sore medicine to Zhou Guang, although it was wrong to steal money, but it was still worth rewarding him for preferring death to betraying Zhao Pu.
Zhou Guang took the gold sore medicine and sat on a soft cushion, and everyone began to ask.
"Have you heard of Evil Pot Island?"
asked Zhan Zhao.
"Hmm."
Zhou Guang nodded, "I like fishing, and when I first transferred to Kaifeng and didn't need to practice, I found a place to fish almost every day."
There are many small lakes in the western suburbs, and I found a good place there, and every day there was an old man fishing in the river opposite me.
He's like a trickster, one by one, one at a time.
I ran to talk to him, and when I got acquainted, I often became a companion, and I would bring him wine from the barracks, and he would teach me fishing.
Later he told a little about his past, saying that sixty years ago, when he was only a teenager, he was caught stealing.
I thought he would be released in a few days, but I never thought that he would be taken on a ship and thrown on an island to feed monsters. ” Everyone listened to the first half of what Zhou Guang said, and they felt quite good, but in the second half, they suddenly turned their words and were shocked.
The little fourth son held his face, "monster" The rest were also surprised, "threw on the island to feed the monsters" Zhou Guang nodded and said, "He said that after he was put in prison, someone came to ask him if he needed to inform his family, he was an orphan, so no one wanted to contact him."
Later, he found that the guards asked almost every prisoner the same question, and at first he didn't care, but in the middle of the night, he was assigned to another cell.
Many people in this cell, he noticed, were prisoners who had been asked by the officials before, and had no family members. ” Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, "There is no family, which means that even if it is gone, no one will pursue it" Zhou Guang nodded, "He said that in the middle of the night, there were officials who came to bring them food, and they fell asleep after eating, and when they woke up, they found that they were tied up and locked in a cage, and the ground was floating.
The old man, when he was a child, his family was fishing, and his parents died because of a shipwreck, and he was also good at water, so he suddenly understood that he was on a boat.
When the boat stopped, a group of swordsmen escorted them out and took them to a hillside.
He looked around as he was going up the hill and saw that it was a lonely island, and he saw some very strange carved wooden pillars standing all over the place, and they looked very scary.
In the distance, there is a fishtail-shaped gatehouse, and there is a plaque on the gatehouse with the words "Evil Hudao Island" written on it. ” Everyone subconsciously looked at Ye Zhiqiu and the two children beside him.
Ye Zhiqiu touched his chin, "Is there such a plaque?"
"Yes," Luo Ying nodded, "he should go to the shady side of the island, that is, the other side of the rift." ” "On the other side of the rift," Bai Yutang thought for a moment, "there is also a plaque on the fishtail-shaped mountain gate, which is a sign of the island where fishermen used to store their supplies. ” Zhou Guang nodded, "The fifth master knows very well that my ancestors were fishermen, this is called Yuweimen, the fishermen in the past would store some water and food on the desert island near the fishing area, in case of wind and waves, you can go there to take shelter temporarily, and you can also save some people who are unfortunately shipwrecked but survived."
But most of these gates were built by the previous dynasty, and now people use high masts, and then the old man said that there are terrible patterns on the wooden stakes, which may be the sea god or the totem to ward off evil spirits for blessings. ” Everyone nodded and looked at Luo Ying together.
Luo Ying said, "We are usually not allowed to approach the rift valley, and the shady side of the mountain is absolutely not allowed to go, and we can't go there, because the rift valley splits the island entirely, and the only way to get to the other side of the island is to cross the narrowest part of the rift valley, near a suspension bridge near the reef beach."
But the suspension bridge has been destroyed, and the wind and waves on the reef beach are very strong and dangerous, and if you rush over, you will fall to your death.
So after we got to the island, we didn't go to the other side of the island, but my grandfather took me on a boat to catch fish in the offshore waters, and I saw the mountain gate. ” "Did your grandfather tell me about Evil Hull Island?"
Zhanzhao was curious.
Luo Ying was stunned for a while, and said in a low voice, "Grandpa always stares at the beach in a daze at night, he often tells me, let me grow up quickly, when the time comes, he will send me and my brother out of this place, and let us never go back after we leave, he said that Evil Hudao Island is a place that should not exist." ” Everyone looked at each other, although Luo Ying and Luo Yuan seemed to have a mysterious origin, and the entire island was killed, but they were the only ones who wanted to be captured alive, as if the cause was them.
But in fact, the Evil Kettle Island itself is also full of fog, and it seems to hide a lot of secrets.
"What happened after the old man was sent to the island," Gongsun continued to ask Zhou Guang.
Zhou Guang said, "The old man said that he was the youngest of so many people at that time, and those Jianghu people drove them to a steep slope with knives, guns and sticks, and then kicked them all down. ” Zhan Zhao frowned, "Are those Jianghu people or government officials?"
"The old man said it was from the rivers and lakes."
Zhou Guang continued, "He said that they were all covered in bruises when they fell into the valley, but fortunately there were a lot of fallen leaves in the valley, but the pile of fallen leaves was full of dry bones, which scared them to stand up and run."
Their hands were still tied behind their backs, and they struggled as they ran, when several people suddenly fell, and the old man also tripped over, and he said that what tripped him was a chain as thick as a human leg."
Everyone frowned at such a thick chain "What are you doing with such a thick chain?"
Zhao Pu muttered to himself.
Bai Yutang suddenly asked, "Is it the chain of the anchor?"
Everyone raised their eyebrows Zhou Guang nodded, "The old man said, the chain seemed to be very long, and when they looked up, they found that there was a huge ship in front of them that was in tatters, but the keel was intact.
The old man had seen a big ship, but he said he had never seen such a big keel in his life."
Everyone nodded, and the situation was the same as Luo Ying's description.
"What about the monster," Gongsun asked.
The old man said that while they were staring at the ship in a daze, suddenly the chain under their feet moved.

While everyone was surprised, Zhan Zhao subconsciously glanced at Xiao Sizi, and Xiao Sizi also happened to look up at him, and the two looked at each other, thinking of the scene that Xiao Sizi suddenly saw before.
The little fourth son was already a little scared, and got into Zhao Pu's arms from Gongsun's leg.
Zhao Pu hugged him and asked Zhou Guang, "How did such a thick chain move?"
"The old man said it was shaking violently, whatever was on the other side of the chain, it was definitely a terrible thing to shake such a thick chain, and they heard a strange roar of beasts."
Zhou Guang sighed, "The old man said that they were so frightened that they turned around and ran.
He was the youngest and thinnest of all the men, and the chains that bound his hands were not tightly bound before he broke free, and he ran to the front, all the way in the direction of the rocky shore of the shore.
As he ran farther and farther, there was suddenly no movement behind him, and when he ran to the rocky beach and looked back, he found that the keel and bow of the huge ship behind him blocked his view, but no one followed. ” Everyone was a little nervous about what those people were Just when he was wondering, he suddenly heard a few screams.
Zhou Guang said, "The old man said that this is the most heart-rending scream he has ever heard in his life, even if sixty years have passed, he can still hear that kind of scream in nightmares at night."
He was too young to go back, so he jumped into the sea because he was good at water.
He swam along the coast and found that the big ship that had brought them had not left, so he quietly climbed aboard the boat and hid in the stern warehouse where the groceries were stored. ” Then the boat left the island, and by the time it came to a halt.
"The old man said that after he quietly got off the boat, he went home to pack up the softness, and then ran overnight, and finally came to Kaifeng to settle down, and since then he never dared to go to the south again, and he was most afraid of entering the yamen, but he still had nightmares."
Zhou Guang finished talking about the old man's experience, "After listening to it, I also think it's quite evil, but I've been talking about it for sixty years, so I didn't ask any more questions.
Everyone nodded, thinking that this should be an excellent clue.
So Zhao Pu asked Zhou Guang where the old man lived, and Zhou Guang said that he would fish in the suburbs every day and take everyone there tomorrow.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both made an appointment with him to go to the old man early tomorrow morning.
Xiao Sizi was quite uneasy after hearing this, after all, he was the only one who saw the scene of the chain moving, and he had felt a terrifying feeling before, but now he was even more cranky.
It's not too early to see, Zhan Zhao and the others set off to rush back to Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Pu also wanted to go back to the palace to ask Zhao Zhen if he knew about it, maybe there were some clues left in the palace.
When I returned to Kaifeng City, I was just in time for the final fireworks display of the Dragon King Festival.
When everyone walked to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, they saw Meow Meow Tower, and Yin Hou, who flew back in advance, sat in the best position on the roof together, watching the fireworks blooming in the sky, which was very pleasant.
Zhan Zhao and Tianzun went up to join in the fun, Xiao Liangzi pulled Xiao Sizi and asked, "Jin'er, I'll take you up too" The little fourth son has been in a daze since he returned, and when he heard Xiao Liang say, he looked up stupidly, "Hmm" Xiao Liang looked at the little fourth son puzzled, "Jin'er, what's wrong with you?"
"Hmm," the little fourth child scratched his head.
Everyone entered Kaifeng Mansion, and Lord Bao also heard about the Evil Pot Island, and came to inquire, so Zhao Pu went into the palace with him to harass Zhao Zhen.
Others are also busy, or ready to rest, Gongsun heard that there are a few girls in the house who have eaten bad stomachs today, so they want to go and see, and ask the little fourth son if he is going, but the little fourth son is still in a daze.
Gongsun wondered if he was tired, so he let him go to bed early and ran to the backyard.
Bai Yutang was going to rest early after washing, and when he walked to the courtyard, he saw Xiao Sizi holding a cat in his hand, sitting cross-legged on the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, looking up at the fireworks in the sky, Xiao Wu was lying on the side and dozing off, in the opposite room, Gongsun and Zhao Pu were not there, Xiao Liangzi should have practiced before going to bed at this time.
As a result, the fourth child, who was originally a little one, sat alone on the stone table, looking even more lonely.
Bai Yutang walked up to Xiao Sizi and looked down at him.
The little fourth son also raised his face to look at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang reached out and touched his head and asked, "What do you see?"
Xiao Sizi blinked and looked at Bai Yutang, "Did the cat tell you?"
Bai Yutang shook his head and sat down beside him, "But you seem to be scared." ” The little fourth son leaned over to Bai Yutang's side, "But I didn't see anything clearly." ” Bai Yutang nodded, "That old man didn't see anything back then, and he wasn't so scared that he hadn't slept well for decades."
Xiao Sizi looked up at Bai Yutang, "Then you didn't see anything clearly and said that you were scared, wouldn't you look very timid?"
Bai Yutang smiled faintly and pinched the cheeks of the little fourth son, "Where are you cowardly, I don't dare to touch those insects in your pocket." ” Xiao Sizi blinked, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the landlord Bai Yutang tilted his waist and said, "It's terrible, that hole is dark." ” Bai Yutang nodded and patted him on the back as a sign of comfort.
At the door, Lin Yehuo hugged his arms and leaned against the door frame and sighed, "Oh, Bai Lao Wu, this guy has a lot of rules for children." ” Ye Zhiqiu hugged his arms and leaned against the door frame on the other side, "They have all grown like that, and their personalities are still like this, leaving a way for others to live." ” On the roof of the Meow Tower, Zhan Zhao squatted on the eaves, holding his chin with both hands and looking down, smiling, "Yutang is really gentle." ” Behind him, Yin Hou sighed and poked his grandson, "You are the only one in the world who says that he is gentle." ” Zhan Zhao squinted at his grandfather, "Grandfather, you are also very gentle." ” Yin Hou was embarrassed and coughed, "Go to bed early."
After that, he ran away.
Zhan Zhao grinned, "Shy" At this moment, there was a sudden sound of wind behind him.
Zhan Zhao frowned, glanced at his face slightly, and saw that someone fell down and stood behind him, "Are you quite idle, it seems that the life of Kaifeng Mansion is quite comfortable." ” The smile on Zhanzhao's face also retracted, he looked at the man's face, and frowned, "Why are you here?"
The man smiled faintly, crossed his arms and looked downstairs, and suddenly raised his face to look at Bai Yutang upstairs.
"This is Bai Yutang, isn't it like the type you would get along with?"
The man gave Bai Yutang a face.
"Less nonsense."
Zhan Zhao was a little displeased, "If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you have something to do with me" The man smiled, "Zhanzhao" Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "It seems quite serious to call by name." ” The man couldn't laugh or cry, and his voice was lowered a little, "I just want to persuade you to be nosy." ” Zhanzhao pointed to his nose, "You let me be nosy, you're sure" The man was obviously helpless and sighed, "I'm for your own good, be careful to poke the hornet's nest." and Zhai Tianbao, who seems to be very dissatisfied with you, be careful, I'd rather offend the gentleman than the villain.
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhan Zhao touched his chin as if he pondered for a moment, and finally turned around with his arms in his arms, and saw a row of people squatting behind him.
Zhan Zhao was frightened, and in front of him, Lin Yehuo, Ye Zhiqiu, Tianzun, and Yin Hou all squatted in front of him with their heads crooked and asked, "Who?"

Zhan Zhao held his forehead and looked down, and saw Bai Yutang sitting on the stone table downstairs, also looking up at him, the expression on his face can be interpreted as very concerned:
