Chapter 97

Wang Wu and the others were very moved by the old man's words.

The old man is not related to them, just because they are from China, because they have reached LV3 and LV4 at a young age, and because they may become useful talents for the motherland in the future, the old man is willing to risk his own consciousness to lead them leave.

Even though they have been far away from their homeland and live in a foreign land, they are willing to contribute their own strength.

"You guys come with me first." The old man couldn't help but said, took Wang Wu's hand and left.

Wang Wu also wanted to see how the Chinese on the island lived, so he followed him.

When traveling, the most important thing is not to see the beautiful scenery here, but to communicate with the local people and get to know their culture.

Wang Wu followed the old man to his residence, a dilapidated wooden house with a roof that looked like it might leak at any moment.

Such wooden houses were densely piled up in this open space. A group of dirty children saw the strangers, and hurriedly hid behind the door, peeking at the group of beautiful ladies and sisters through the crack of the door.

After Michelle took out a handful of candies from her bag, the group of children finally stopped being shy and ran out from behind the door, begging for candies around Michelle.

In addition to children, there are many old people sitting on stools weaving straw hats.Those beautiful hats in the shopping mall on the island are all made by them.

The old man told Wang Wu that most of the middle-aged men here are porters at the docks, while the women work in hotels and restaurants.

Wang Wu lives in a five-star hotel on this island, and all living facilities are no different from those in a city.In the morning, the sun shines in from the bright windows, and you can see the vast sea when you open the door.

They thought they were living in heaven, but they didn't expect that there was such a dilapidated place in the shadow of heaven.

"Why did you come to this island?"

Wang Wu was very puzzled when he saw the quality of life of these Chinese people. No matter how poor they are in China, it is not so miserable!

The old man asked his nephew to arrange the boat, and then he sat down and told Wang Wu how their ancestors came to this island.

It turned out that when the old man's grandfather was 15 years old, he was tricked into boarding the boat by foreigners.Foreigners told him that the west is full of gold, as long as he signs a contract with them and works in the west for three years, he can return home rich in gold.

After his grandfather got on the boat, he was immediately locked in the cabin and starved for three days, so that they had no strength to resist.

Afterwards, a big pot was used to cook some porridge for them, but there was no bowl. Everyone squatted next to the big pot and drank with their mouths, just like feeding pigs.

They on the boat seemed to be living in hell, and they were beaten severely for the slightest resistance.Nearly half of them died on the road and their bodies were thrown into the sea.

The ship did not come to the west where gold is everywhere, but carried them to this island and became coolies on the island.

Under the whip of foreigners, they lived a life worse than pigs and dogs.Mining and burning bricks, building palaces, and turning a desolate island into today's resplendent and resplendent paradise island like a paradise on earth.

This is the paradise island they built, but it doesn't belong to them.For their parents, this place is more like hell than hell, and the bones buried under the palace are the testimony of hell.

The old man said that his grandfather left home and his mother when he was 15 years old, and since then he has lost contact with his family.He was too hasty when he left, and he just asked his fellow countrymen to leave a word, then boarded the boat and told his mother to wait for him to return in three years.

Three years later, and three years later, until he died of old age, he failed to return to the land of the motherland.

His grandfather's greatest regret in his life was not being able to be filial in front of his mother's bed.

His grandfather told him that although you are in a foreign country, your heart is the heart of China, no matter what, you must be worthy of your own heart.

The old man's words kept Wang Wu and the others silent for a long time, and they finally understood why the old man was willing to risk his life to send them away.

They were born in the mainland, but they never thought that there were such a group of compatriots overseas who had such a tragic fate.

"Do you still want to go back now?" Wang Wu asked.

"But if we have the chance, we want to go back and take a look, but we still have to return to this island to live. Our family, friends, life, work, cannot be separated from this island. And when I return to the mainland, I can only be yours burden."

"I'll help you kill that island owner and let you be the island owner." Tang Xiaoxian stood up angrily.

Seeing her compatriots being treated like this, how could she bear it.

The old man hurriedly stopped Tang Xiaoxian: "No way, the island owner has the strength of LV5, and even if you can defeat the island owner, you will only anger his backers."

Wang Wu asked curiously: "Old man, you just said that the backer behind him is one of the four major families, which one is it?"

"It's the Murong family. The owner of the island is Johnson. After his grandfather passed the island to him, he thought he was not strong enough to hold the island, so he joined the Murong family. Every year he would pay a sum of money to the Murong family in exchange for the Murong family. This flag."

The old man pointed to the flag with the pattern of starry sky and long sword on the island: "Before others want to occupy this island, they have to weigh whether they can bear the anger of the Murong family."

Wang Wu turned around and asked Yi Meiren quietly: "Murong's family? Xiaobai's Murong's family?"

Yimei curled her lips: "Since it is the Murong family of the Four Great Families, it must be his family."

"It's a pity that he didn't come for a tour. If he was there, the island owner would have to jump over and kneel and lick."

"That's not necessarily the case. He has been deprived of the right of inheritance by the family and cannot mobilize any resources in the family. I heard that even the servants of his family don't think highly of him."

"It's not easy for Xiaobai!" Wang Wu exclaimed.

After the group of children ate Michelle's candy, they gathered together to listen to Michelle's storytelling.

After the old people in the village knew about Wang Wu and the others, they also brought some pastries from their homes and entertained them warmly.

After a while, the old man's nephew came back and told them that the boat had been arranged.

"Then don't wait any longer, go to sea immediately." The old man took Wang Wu's hand and stood up.

Wang Wu shook his head and said firmly: "No, we decided not to leave."

The others, like Wang Wu, sat still on the small stools.

The old man was about to say something, when a loud voice came from the sky: "You think this island is your home, you can come and leave whenever you want?"

The old man raised his head, his expression changed drastically.

I saw a blond middle-aged man standing proudly in the air, looking down at the ground.A suit of clothes is windless and automatic, majestic.

In the distance, countless guards surrounded them with guns.

The old man muttered to himself: "He is the owner of the island, Johnson. I didn't expect to find him so soon. We were a step too late."

"It's just in time, let me knock him down." Tang Xiaoxian finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, soaring into the sky, he slapped Johnson.

  PS: In the middle of the 19th century, countless compatriots in the coastal areas were deceived or directly caught on board, and sold to Nanyang as coolies like piglets.However, during the Anti-Japanese War, these compatriots abroad still actively responded, donating money and materials for the motherland, and transporting boatloads of grain back to the country.
