Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-One: Yannuogu's Narrative of the Past
Artificial island 15 years ago
Although Kang Ju's whereabouts were unknown, she was no longer one of the missing persons. After Xiaodou and Yan Nuogu cleaned up the kitchen, the two of them squeezed into the small space outside the back door. Because it was too small, they could only stand face to face, leaning on the railing and talking.
Yueyue was still sitting at the kitchen door, looking at the wind for them, and telling them if anyone was coming in at any time.
As long as Yueyue makes a little abnormal noise, the conversation between the two will be terminated immediately.
Yan Nuogu spoke first. He lit a cigarette for himself, handed another cigarette in his palm to Xiaodou, and then said: "Can you agree to my request before you speak?"
"What request? Just say it!" Xiaodou replied. He felt that the request Yan Nuogu said at this time should be very important.
Sure enough, Yannuogu's next sentence was: "I love Xiaoju, but the person Xiaoju loves is indeed Xiaochen."
"I can see this. Does Xiaoju and Xiaochen have anything to do with the past?"
"The person who has something to do with the past is my father. On this island, I was the only one with the surname Yan, but there were many people with the surname Kang. Do you know? It was the person with the surname Yan that destroyed the fishing village on the north shore of the Great Lakes, and then the artificial island built by the person with the surname Kang. The only person with the surname Li was just an absolute thief!"
"You mean Uncle Li?" Xiaodou frowned, and what Yan Nuogu said made him unable to digest it at once.
Yannuogu continued: "You have to take the right position, or you think it has nothing to do with me. I am just talking about what I know at your request, so please don't interrupt me."
After saying that, Yannuo Valley vomited a big mouthful of smoke into the sky and continued: "50 years ago, the 15-year-old boy Nuo Nuo and his father depended on this big lake to survive. Their home is in the largest fishing village on the north shore, and the village chief of the fishing village was named Yan."
"But after this village chief Yan managed the village for a while, he moved to the neighborhood of the town to live because his son saved up a sum of money to help him build a two-story building in the locust forest, so that he could enjoy his old age. In fact, at that time, Village Chief Yan was only in his early 50s and was young and strong, and could manage the village for another ten years."
"After Village Chief Yan left, no one cared about the vacancy of the village chief. Lao Nuo and Lao Yan, sorry, I will use Lao Nuo to call Nuo Nuo's father and Lao Yan to call the village chief."
"Lao Nuo and Lao Yan are the most authoritative people in the village, so after Lao Yan left, the villagers used to asking Lao Nuo for anything. Until one day, Lao Nuo did something stupid, which caught the villagers off guard and ran to find Lao Yan."
"But at this time, Lao Yan was already completely different from when he left the village."
Xiaodou asked him: "Why are you saying it's completely different? Is Lao Yan sick?"
"No, Lao Yan is as strong as in the past. I mean his heart. His heart is no longer facing the village. The villagers asked him to help find a way to save Lao Nuo and his son, because Lao Nuo sailed to fish in a storm weather. This is a stupid thing that the younger generation in the village would not do. No one of the senior fishermen, Lao Nuo, could understand why he made such a decision."
"An old villager broke into Lao Yan's home and took him back to the village. At this time, Lao Nuo had already sailed for a long time, and there was no sign of people on the lake. Even if Lao Yan went there, it would be useless. The storm that day seemed to be deliberately against them, and it became more and more fierce. Lao Yan and the fishermen had to stand on the shore and do it in a hurry."
Xiaodou asked: "Is there no way to do it? These fishermen have good water quality. Can't they choose a more solid boat and try to go out for rescue? After all, it's a big lake, not a sea, there is still some difference?"
"This is the opinion of you laymen," Yan Nuogu teased him: "The lake sometimes swallows people, and it is also very powerful. No one wants to joke about his own wealth and life."
"What about Nuonuo? Where has Nuonuo gone? Didn't he wait for his father on the shore of the lake?"
"No, Nuonuo also sailed, and not long after his father left, it was the first time Nuonuo to discover his father's abnormality and inform the villagers. But the villagers were helpless, so Nuonuo became anxious. He stole the old ship left in the harbor by Lao Yan and went to chase his father alone. At that time, the villagers thought Nuonuo had been swallowed by the wind and waves because a child who had no experience in sailing could not fight against such bad weather."
Speaking of Nuonuo, Yannuo Valley seemed particularly sad. He snatched the cigarette butt in his hand and turned to look at the lake. There seemed to be crystal clear in his confused eyes.
At this moment, the lake was as calm as a pond, with no ripples at all. Yan Nuogu continued: "Lao Yan should have been the one who was most worried about Lao Nuo and his son. However, the fishermen thought of various ways to save Lao Nuo and his son, but he denied it. It was not until dark and the wind and waves were very calm that Lao Yan hurriedly organized personnel to go out for rescue. But at this time, where would there be sailors on the lake? They salvaged and searched the lake, but until the next morning, they still found nothing."
"What you mean is... Lao Yan deliberately denies the rescue plan of the fishermen and delays time. He doesn't want Lao Nuo and his son to come back alive." Xiaodou said thoughtfully.
Every word Yan Nuogu said was in his heart and the words said by the person who raised him in the past. Many places could overlap, which proved that Yan Nuogu really had some understanding of the past.
Nuonuo and Xiaogui were the two people mentioned to him the most in the past. Xiaodou believed that since that person has been mentioning Nuonuo, Nuonuo might still be alive, including Xiaogui, but Yannuogu did not mention Xiaogui's information at all.
At this point of conversation, Yannuogu was unwilling to mention what happened on the lake that day. Instead, he changed the subject and mentioned a little girl born a few years before the incident. The girl's surname was Ye, but her specific name Yannuogu had forgotten.
Xiaodou immediately contacted her with Aunt Ye in her mind, but he did not ask, but listened silently to Yan Nuogu continue to talk.
When Xiaoye was born, Nuonuo was just over ten years old. He was still a child of different size, but he actually did something that shocked the adults. That was, he actually used a leaf to cut open her unopened eyelids for the premature baby Xiaoye.
