Chapter 30 Integration
The arrival of Yu Xiaotian and his party brought a wave to the quiet Little Yellow Island. Before their arrival, there were only more than 20 residents in the small village on Little Yellow Island, but when they arrived, the residents of the small village immediately increased to more than 30 people.
This island is basically a man's world. There are only a few women on the island. Two of the old women are the wives of Maface and Li Gouzi, and the other is the daughter of Meng madman. However, Meng madman's daughter was betrothed to Zhao Hai's son three years ago. Now there are only Erya left on the island. A girl waiting for the girl, coupled with Erya's dignified appearance, became the object of secret love of a group of descendants on the island. Unfortunately, Erya is still young. Although the descendants on the island like her, they can only stare because they do not have Liu Laoliu's approval.
However, the arrival of Liu Laoliu seemed to give these descendants hope. After Liu Laoliu came, they worked very hard to please Liu Laoliu and were very happy.
In addition, the appointment of old guys such as the horse face on the island has been benefited by Liu Laoliu and Yu Xiaotian. It doesn't cost much for Liu Laoliu to settle down his family. A group of descendants began to work day and night on the island the next day, and soon set up several new huts for Liu Laoliu in the east of the village. .
The island lacks wood, let alone bricks and tiles, so the houses on the island are basically made of local materials and built with thatch and limited branches and sticks. If you want to build better, you have to get more wood and bricks on land.
However, the people on the island seem to be used to living a hard life, so they use these simple materials that can find on hand, coupled with some fine vines unique to the island, they still make this kind of hut very strong.
In addition, Liu Laoliu's house has been solved, but Yu Xiaotian, Liu Tong, Han Xian and others also need a place to live, so under the arrangement of Ma Yan and others, the people in the village took action together and temporarily set up several huts on the side of Liu Laoliu's house for them as a place to stay for the time being, because of hurry These huts are more crude than Liu Laoliu's hut, but because of the limited conditions, Yu Xiaotian and others have to make do with it first.
Although the grass shed is very simple, Yu Xiaotian did not force anything about it. After all, it is good that he can find such a temporary place to settle down now. As for the problem of the house, it is not too late to talk about it later. Anyway, the weather is not cold now. There is a hut that can shelter the wind and rain to temporarily live in it first. It can be overcome.
Because Liu Tong is now a widow, his parents died early, and the property was also occupied by the Liu shopkeeper's family. There is no place to go back, so he has no objection to staying on this island. He feels a little casual and peaceful. In just two or three days, he mixed with the descendants on the island, plus he He didn't talk much and worked diligently. He was soon recognized by the people on the island and regarded him as a member of the island.
As for Han Xian and Zhao Si, after arriving at the island, Yu Xiaotian still took good care of their injuries, so that their wounds gradually began to heal. They were also very happy to find such a place to live in peace. They were also old as the descendants on the island. After everyone learned about their background, they also expressed sympathy and no longer rejected them because they were pirates, which also made the two of them stay on the island at ease.
However, after Hu Cheng and Li Yuzi arrived on the island, they both looked restless. Two days after they arrived on the island, they begged Yu Xiaotian and Liu Laoliu to let him go back to land, but they were immediately rejected by Liu Laoliu.
These two people are both a potential threat to Liu Laoliu and Yu Xiaotian. After knowing the location of this small yellow island, once they return to the land, they may not be exposed and let the Liu family come to the door, so Liu Laoliu is determined to leave them on the island and not allow them to leave.
This made Hu Cheng and Li Yuzi very frustrated. After arriving on the island, they sighed and frowned all day, but there was nothing they could do. Fortunately, Liu Laoliu promised them that as long as they took over the goods on the ship, they would have a share and would arrange someone to send them back to their families. If their families were willing to live on the island. If so, you can also take their families over.
Hu Cheng and Li Yuzi knew that Liu Laoliu left them, so they could only accept their fate. Anyway, there were not many family members, and the poor people in the family were also jingling. If it really didn't work, it would be negotiable to abandon their family and come here to live, so they could only accept their fate temporarily.
Not to mention the remaining Yu Xiaotian. Before he came to this era, he was known as a demon king in the compound and school. No matter where he went, he could quickly get along well with the people around him. In addition, he now deliberately restrains his temper, and he is strong enough to fight and kill. The people on the island admire him very much. Therefore, with his temperament, he also quickly got along with the people on the island and won the recognition of the young generation on the island, and faintly looked at him.
Originally, among the young generation on the island, before Yu Xiaotian came, the blackhead was a boss, but after Yu Xiaotian came, after a contest, the blackhead was in front of Xiaotian and could only bow down. This boss's position naturally changed his master and became much more honest.
As for the relationship, although the blackhead is a little stunned, he is not a narrow-minded person. On the contrary, he is quite righteous. Although he was a little unhappy with Xiaotian when he first met Xiaotian, after playing with Yu Xiaotian, the blackhead showed quite a little demeanor. If he failed, he was defeated. He was willing to gamble and lose, but he did not compete with Yu Xiaotian because of this matter. After two or three days of contact, Yu Xiaotian found that this black head could still be handed over. The two really did not fight or make a deal. Gradually, the relationship became closer than others.
Life on the island is also very bitter. Although the soil is relatively fertile, because there is only one well on the island that can supply fresh water, it is enough to drink, but it is obviously not enough for irrigation. As a result, the land available for reclaim is limited. Over the years, they have settled on the island. Only dozens of mu of land have been reclaimed, mainly planting some sweet potatoes and other crops. Rice is rarely cultivated, relying on the sky as much as possible, and does not consume fresh water to water the land.
Therefore, in addition to cultivating this small amount of land, the people on the island mainly rely on their original fishing boats to go fishing, partially marinated or dried for their own use, and most of the rest are transported to land* to make a living.
After getting familiar with the people on the island, Yu Xiaotian began to know more about the situation of this era, and also began to gradually understand the living conditions of these people on the island.
Speaking of which, they occupied this island for a living, but in fact, this island is not a no-ownerland. In fact, the control is still in the hands of a hundred households surnamed Jiang on land. However, this 100 households surnamed Jiang are nominally a hereditary hundred households in Funing, Fujian, but after this era, their Jiang family is on land. There are many fertile fields, and he controls the catch and sale along the coast, so he doesn't pay much attention to this small yellow island, which is nominally under his jurisdiction.
So for the fact that the horse face and their group of people live on the island, Jiang Baihu saw that the little yellow island was also idle and did not care much about it. Instead, he acquiesced in this fact. He just sent people twice a year to collect nominal tenants, which is regarded as giving the island tenants to Maface to live in. This tenant rental money is also He picked it up for nothing.
Therefore, their life on Little Yellow Island is still inseparable from the land. In addition to self-cultivation to solve some food problems, most of the other daily necessities need to be solved on land.
And it is not easy for them to make a catch. Jiang Baihu, a big fisherman, controls the fishing market on land. After the people on the island catch the catch, they must sell it to them. As a result, most of the catches will fall into the hands of these fishermen. The fishing catches on the island people have actually have little money in their hands.
And Jiang Baihu is a well-known local snake in this area. At this time, there is no Xiapu County in this area. On land, there is the Dongchong Peninsula in the west of the island, the Huangqi Peninsula in the south, and Shuangfeng Island in the northeast. Whether they go west or south, there are fishermen controlling the fishing market. Wherever they sell fish It's the same.
As for Shuangfeng Island, the island is large, but according to Ma Jian, there are several groups of pirates living on the island and often plunder along the coast around them, because the island they are on is very small, and the people on the island are poor and have no oil or water to fish for, so they have not been harmed by these pirates.
In a word, these people are people who live at the bottom of society. There is basically no way to live a good life. If they encounter disasters and other things in their lives, it is also common for people to starve to death.
Life on the island is very lonely. The small island is surrounded by a vast sea. Before Xiaotian came, the descendants here did not play with the thin fields in the field almost every day, or repaired fishing nets or went to sea to fish. Only by chance will they follow the horse face back to the land and sell it. After the catch, buy something for the island, which is the biggest entertainment activity for the descendants on the island.
In addition, these descendants are idle and occasionally practice some rough fists with blackheads at best, so the daily life of these young people on the island is almost unentertainable.
However, after the arrival of Xiaotian, life on the island began to change. Everyone knows that Yu Xiaotian is a returnee from overseas. For these ordinary people who do not leave home, they can't understand where Australia is, let alone know a lot of things, so this The descendants are very curious about Yu Xiaotian's growth experience, and from time to time like to ask Yu Xiaotian about some overseas customs.
