Have you ever had “blood pancakes”?
Prepare a nested sheep and put it in a black house full of bats.
The blood of the sheep is made of blood tofu in pancakes and the entrance is ready.
One.
I was worried about a black iron box when I packed my mom’s stuff.
When I was a kid, I knew my mom had an iron box, and if it was a treasure, I would never be allowed to move.
She kept telling me that if she was gone one day, she would have to burn it together, never open it, let alone see what was in it.
My father was dead before I was born, and I followed my mother’s orders as a child, but I hesitated to deal with the iron box.
It’s not that I’m greedy. I just want to know what my mom put in there.
I spent the whole afternoon on the iron box, and I finally made up my mind to find the locksmith, who just played a little bit and opened it.
There were no balances, no deposit slips, and all that was contained was a letter that had been folded.
The letter was kept well and, although for some years, the handwriting was clear, but not signed.
The first letter, written 25 years ago, was supposed to have a good relationship with my mother, asking her how she was doing, asking about me, saying she had a chance to meet me.
I’ve read a couple of them in a row, almost once a year, about the same, and asked my mom not to worry about him, and he’s doing well over there, and she’s taking good care of me.
I’m curious to see this, but I think it’s my mother’s first love. Only her first love can be remembered, even if my mother had me.
No wonder my mom didn’t want me to know it was her secret, but my dad had been dead all these years, and I wouldn’t mind if she got back in love.
I have read a few more, and the content is still the same, except that I am somewhat confused that, 25 years ago, communications were underdeveloped and that I could understand, but now mobile phone tweets are easy to write and how to write in the old way.
Soon, I turned the last one.
In fact, I’ve read so many letters, and I’ve had an extra crush on this uncharted uncle, after all, because he really cares for my mother and me, and I really want to see him.
The last letter was not long. I took a look at it, and it was a shock.
“Herlan, I may not have much time, and this is my last letter to you, and I thank God I’ve lived for so many years, and the swallow has grown up, but I can’t see her getting married and having children. I’m sorry.
“I hope she will never come to the island in her life, even though it is where our love began, but it is also the most terrible hell, forever loving your country, LEE Wei, July 10, 2022. I’m sorry.
When I saw the signature and the date, I was shaking.
I’m Lee Yan, Li Wei Gyu, the name of my father.
Two.
The island is located in the East Sea, in a remote location, is sparsely populated and has only a small village with few land connections, which makes it scarce.
I found so many people there that an old fisherman would take me there.
The old fisherman asked me why I wanted to go to such a small, small island, where, despite the beauty of the view, mosquito ants were numerous and, in the event that they were accidentally bitten, there was no cure.
Even more dangerous is the fact that the villagers on the island are not very popular with outsiders, and no one knows what will happen if they are upset, and he keeps his goods at the entrance of the village every time he sends them.
He said if I was on a trip, I’d be recommended to another island nearby.
I shook my head and insisted on going to the island.
I have to find my dad and find out what’s going on with him and my mom.
Two people who were in love and loved each other, but would rather write than see each other, and my mother wouldn’t even dare let me know that my father was still alive.
The old fisherman said that there was no signal on the island, that he would send some supplies every other week and wait for him on the shore a week if I wanted to leave.
I heard the old fisherman often go to the island, and I asked him, “How many years have you travelled to the island? Will the people of the island ask you to send a letter to the outside? I’m sorry.
The old fisherman laughed, saying, “A little over 30 years ago, the islanders did not like to communicate with the outside world and would not send a letter outside, and no one had left the island for years. I’m sorry.
And We said: O Lord, have you ever heard of a man named Li Wei, who may have been to the island more than 20 years ago, perhaps from you, and a woman named Zhou Heelan? I’m sorry.
How much I would like to hear from the old fisherman that he knew, but he shook his head and said, “I don’t know. I rarely bring people to the island. I would not have taken you if you hadn’t begged me so hard. I’m sorry.
I couldn’t hear the answer I asked for, and I went to the bow with some disappointment.
There’s an island standing alone, not far from the sea, which should be my destination.
About half an hour later, the boat arrived on the shore.
And as it was almost dark, the old fisherman looked at me and said: “Miss Li, from here along this road to the north, about a kilometre will see the village, but I would advise you not to go in there and say hello to them first, and you will enter the village when they agree. I’m sorry.
I nodded my head and walked north with my backpack.
It’s a good view, but on this beautiful island, the tiny mosquito ants are the deadliest.
I sprayed some deworming water, which kept moving.
The roads on the island were not so hard to walk, it was supposed to be man-made.
But I’m surprised that nobody in the village can see.
I’ve been waiting a while, and I can’t see anyone.
I bit my teeth and decided to go first.
No hesitation, I went straight into the village.
It’s a few top-of-the-art cabins, a kind of Ming Dynasty, with a yard in front of the house, and some chickens like chickens and ducks in addition to growing vegetables. I came to a village’s door, only the door was open, and there were kerosene lights on the table.
I tried to scream a few times, and still nobody answered me.
I thought about going into the house and looking at it, simply turning around, and there was no one in the house, but strangely, there was a hot meal on the table.
Four dishes and a soup, that’s a lot.
In addition to cooking, three sets of chopsticks were placed on the table, two of which contained rice but the other was empty.
I left the house and went to another house west.
There’s no one at home. The food is ready.
The only difference is that the family has two more members, four bowls of rice on the table and an empty bowl.
And We took additional families, none of them, but they had a common denominator: each family had an empty bowl, and it was not known what it was for.
Strange. Where is everyone in the village?
Since the food was hot, it meant that there were people who were not long ago, who were ready to eat, but because of something, everyone went out and there was no one in the village.
And when I was in doubt, the footsteps came out of the door.
I was busy looking out, and a five-to-six-year-old girl jumped in and was singing a song.
I walked in fast, and I was just about to ask questions, and I was shocked.
The little girl’s face is deformed.
The left eye is normal, but the right eye looks like a light bulb.
I cried out and smiled at her and said, “Where are the villagers? I’m sorry.
And the little girl looked at me, curiously, and suddenly she clapping her hands, and said: Sister, you are like the sheep. I’m sorry.
3
How can a man look like a sheep? I can’t be too abstract.
I took a piece of chocolate out of my bag and sent it to the little girl, and I said, “My little friend, what’s your name and sister’s offering you chocolate? Why aren’t your parents home? Where are the rest of the village? I’m sorry.
The little girl picked up the chocolate and looked at me and said, “Thank you, sister, my name is Inn. We’ve all been to the dark house and should be back soon.” I’m sorry.
Blackhouse?
I’m not sure what the dark house means. I was just about to ask a few more questions, and there was a noise coming out of the yard, and it sounded like a lot of fun, and people were singing.
Soon, a man brought an old man in.
When he saw the crowd, he ran over and grabbed the hand of the man, and said, “Dad, this is the chocolate that my older sister gave me, and he likes her, so don’t turn her into a sheep.” I’m sorry.
And the man frowned, and struck him in the head, and said, “In, don’t talk, no one will turn into sheep. I’m sorry.
Waiting for infuriation, the old man showed the man to look after the inflammation and walked towards me alone.
The old man was in his 70s, and he was strong, but he worked hard every step of the way until he came to me and I found out that his calf was a bit deformed.
Unlike normal people ‘ s calves, his calves are swollen with tumours and, worse still, they see dark red blood.
The old man didn’t look surprised at me, but he looked at me and said, “What are you doing here?” I’m sorry.
And I noded, “Mr., I heard the view was beautiful, so I came to see it. I’m sorry. I saw no one in the village, and I was curious about it. I’m sorry.
And the old man was well-wished, and he did not mean to drive me away. He said, “The one who came is a guest, so stay, and eat with us. I’m sorry.
After the old man had said that he had walked into the house himself, and the men had dragged in the infirmary, three of them immediately sat in their place and left me the one with the empty bowl.
And when he saw me, he waved his hand, saying, “O sister, this place is reserved for you. Come in.” I’m sorry.
For me?
Listening to In, I can’t help but wonder.
The man said, “Do not get me wrong. This is the custom of our village alone, and when you eat, you leave an empty bowl of chopsticks for tourists on the island. I’m sorry.
Although men have explanations, I find it odd that when no one else does, they do the same, and they do the same with their families.
But my aim was to find my father, not to ask too many questions, so I nodded my head and sat down in the designated position.
Dinner was not very good, but it was good, and the elderly gave me a little information about the village.
He said that his name was Hu, the village chief, and that the man was his son Hohai. The village had a small population of about 100 families, all of which were very attractive.
After dinner, Hu Hae took me to the house in the northeast, and said, “You will stay here for a few days. Don’t go anywhere on the island. We’ll be back by boat in a few days. If anything happens, no one can save you.” I’m sorry.
Ho Hae was very kind, but I felt he didn’t even want me to be welcome, even a bit to get rid of me.
I nod my head: “Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere!” I’m sorry.
Drop the bag and I lay down on the board bed.
So far, everything’s going well, but it’s not that easy to find my dad.
According to my assumption from the letter, he should be trapped somewhere on the island, unable to leave for some reason, but he could send a letter indicating that there must be someone on the island who can help him to send the letter.
I’m still thinking about the response, and there’s a loud knock coming out the door, and I’m laughing.
She has a deformity on her face, but once she adapts, she still thinks she’s cute.
“Big Sister, you have chocolate, and you want to give it to your little partner. I’m sorry.
I took two more chocolates out of my bag and shoved them into the hands of Zin, by the way, and asked her, “Do you know who’s on the island sending letters? I’m sorry.
Inn shakes his head and says, “I don’t know, Big Sister, you’re so good. Would you like to see the sheep? I’m sorry.

I really can’t imagine how a five-to-six-year-old boy could find a way in the dark. She didn’t even use a flashlight and brought me to the dark house with memory alone.
The only explanation is she’s too familiar with this place.
The so-called black house is a woody house in which nothing can be seen from the outside, but some strange voices can be heard, a little bit like bird wings.
And I asked her with some curiosity: “In, where are the sheep?” I’m sorry.
He pointed to the black house and said, “The sheep are in it, and it will wake up, and it will scream so badly.” I’m sorry.
I don’t get it. I can’t wait with her.
It was about five minutes ago, and there was a noise, but a man shouted.
“Let me out, you freaks, let me out. I’m sorry.
The man shouted loudly and kept taping the cabin, but unfortunately there was no light in it, and he could not even find the direction of the gate.
I looked at In-in with my face astonished, and I said, “In-in, what is going on in it? What makes you think he is a sheep?” I’m sorry.
“Dad says it’s a two-legged goat who did something bad, and it’s punishing him, big sister. Don’t worry. Inn likes you. I’m sorry.
I was shocked, and no wonder my father said in his letter that this was hell and that the villagers were treating people like sheep.
I said, “In, what else is in the dark room? I’m sorry.
“Bats, big bats, they’re delicious. I’m sorry.
I’ve seen some videos before. It’s disgusting. I didn’t think people in a single village would get that.
But at this point, I hesitate.
I’m here to find my father, and if I save this man now, everything will be over before I get rid of him.
I was still hesitant, but the people inside made a sad cry, and the severe pain kept him hitting the cabin, but it was too strong to escape, no matter how hard he struggled.
It was then that the torches were suddenly lit in the east, and it appeared that someone was coming.
In-in reacted very quickly, pulled me behind a rock and suggested that I should not speak, apparently not for the first time.
After a while, more than a dozen villagers came and looked through the seams, headed by the village chief Hu and Hu Hai.
And the people came to the cabin, and Ho turned around and said, “It’s almost time to put him back in prison, and the rest of you go and collect the goods, and send them off early tomorrow morning.” I’m sorry.
Ho Hae took the keys to the black house, the villagers came up and set fire to it, and soon the men’s curses and the bats were flying around.
I was afraid they’d find out, pulled in, suggested she could go back.
Who knows if it hasn’t gone two steps, then I hear the Chief Hu, saying, “Well, you’re sure it was her, but she looks normal, and that’s no joke. I’m sorry.
“Dad, it’s not wrong. There must be something wrong with her! I’m sorry.
When I heard that, I was shaking and shivering.
I was deformed, but I dealt with it when I was little.
Multiple toes, more than normal people’s toes!
5
In and I snuck back.
I was lying on my bed in the middle of the night.
I was thinking not only about the men, but also about the conversation between the village chief and Hu Hai, who said she wasn’t talking about me.
It’s too small to ask.
When it comes to deformities, I remember what happened when I was a kid, with seven toes on my left foot and six toes on my right foot, which is very ugly and is not particularly convenient to walk.
I remember when I was a kid who wanted to go out for a swim with kids, and they all called me weird, and nobody wanted to play with me, and I cried.
I asked my mother why I was different and my mother cried and didn’t say why.
About six months later, my mom booked me for an operation to cut off the extra toes.
I remember the doctor’s face was so tight that he pulled my mom away for a long time, I even thought the doctor was going to cut my foot off and cry even harder.
Fortunately, the operation went well and I became normal.
I fell asleep in the middle of nowhere. By the time I woke up, it was noon.
I didn’t think I was so tired I slept till noon.
I just cleaned it up, and as soon as I got to the living room, I smelled a fragrance.
There were a few pieces of tofu on the table, like groceries, and there was red tofu in the bowl next to it, and Inn was sitting next to it, and he picked up the pancakes, and he put a tofu in it, and he ate what was called a scent.
Inn saw me and cried out, “Big sister, you’re finally up. Come and have pancakes. I’m sorry.
I don’t have any other hobby, but I like to eat it, especially where it’s special, and I’m, um, walking to Inn and picking up pancakes.
It has to be said that pancakes are quite common and have no special features, but the red tofu in the next bowl is different, the crystals are clenched, and the fragrance of an attractive fragrance.
Just looking at it, you know it must be improvising.
“Big Sister, you’re gonna have to try. I’m sorry.
I was sorely caught with blood tofu, and I was just about to put it in the pancakes, and a man came up from the side, and I got my tofu.
It’s not just anyone else, it’s Ho Hae, the father of In-in, who not only cut off blood tofu, but also exposed a disgusting carmatoma on his arm, deeply embedded in his skin, just like that on his legs.
He’s also deformed.
And the raiment of the hu sea was ugly, and it was not good, and he looked at me and said, “Whosoever makes you eat this, you cannot eat it; you can eat only the food which I have set for you, or else all the consequences are for you. I’m sorry.
I was scared by Ho Hae and took a step backwards.
He seems to have heard something and came out of the house, and he looked at him and said, “What are you doing so loudly? I’m sorry.
Then he came to me and said: “Li Yin, you cannot eat this tofu. It is made of bat blood. You people in the city are not used to eating it, and you will eat it. I’m sorry.
Bat blood makes tofu, and I think about last night, and I’m just trying to get out of here.
I said, “I know, Mayor Hu, I want to go out and come back before dark.” I’m sorry.
The village chief frowned and did not reject it. He said, “Hai, you should stop working today and go with Lee Yan, so she can see the light of our island. I’m sorry.
Ho Hae obviously didn’t like it. He’s got a long face.
I said to him, “I’ll be fine with you, Mr. Ho. I’ll be fine by myself.” I’m sorry.
Having said that I was not waiting for Hu Hae to speak, I was flying out of the house, and he was about to hear the Mayor of Hu told me not to go north. He said that the poison bugs there were very powerful and it was difficult to cure them.
On the way, I saw a lot of villagers.
These villagers were enthusiastic, like old friends they had not seen for a long time, and greeted me, but I was alarmed that they also had various deformities.
Some have ears of two sizes, others have nostrils that are dented, others have deformities in their entire arms and are covered with disgusting things like branches.
The more I look at it, the more I fear it, whether the villagers greet me or not, the more I turn my head out of the village.
This place is really scary. No wonder they don’t want to deal with the outside world.
As I remember last night, I soon found the black house.
The dark house during the day looked calm, and it was empty, nothing, and if it had not been for the tables and chairs lying on the floor, it would not have been clear that they had been locked up last night.
I remember the villagers carrying the men last night, as if they were heading north.
I took a deep breath, walking north along the road, less than 800 metres away, and saw a well-liked building in front of me, with no one around.
I went to the well, and I looked down through it, and there was no water in it, but it was a tunnel with ladders.
There was no hesitation, I went down the ladder, I looked at it, and I covered my mouth.
This is a dungeon.
In the less than 100 metres of the aisle, there were three iron cages, one of which contained a man, most likely the man who had been put in the dark room last night.
He lay still and wondered whether he was dead or alive.
I quickly walked over and whispered, “Hey, who are you, how are you being held here?” I’m sorry.
Men hear my voice and turn around.
He looked at me for a long time and whispered, “Did you eat the blood pancakes? I’m sorry.
Six.
The person held here is known as Zhou Haiquan.
He heard I didn’t eat the blood pancakes, and the whole person was obviously excited to ask me how I got to the island.
I briefly described myself, saying that I had come to the island to travel, that I had discovered the well, that I was curious to come down and that it was a cell.
Zhou Haiquan noded and said, “Li Yin, it’s very urgent, and you must find a way to get me out of here. If it’s two days later, the freaks will kill me.” I’m sorry.
Zhou Haiquan is dissatisfied with contempt.
I hear in my ears that it’s a little uncomfortable, not just because I was once deformed, but more because most villagers were friendly and not monsters.
I frowned and whispered, “What a freak! I’m sorry.
“You didn’t notice that the villagers were all deformed, especially the village chief’s granddaughter, In, whose eyes were swollen like a light bulb. I’m sorry.
I didn’t like the sound of Zhou’s sea spring, and I interrupted him, saying, “How did you get here? Why did they keep you here? I feel that the villagers in the village were very nice.” I’m sorry.
Zhou’s spring smiled twice and said, “Hospitals, you have not been locked in a black house full of bats, nor can only the monsters come up with this torture. The blood tofu you have seen is made out of bat blood, and the meat in the groceries is all the meat of bats, and it is not for normal people. I’m sorry.
I’ve already guessed it, but I’ve heard it from Zhou Haiquan himself.
“You haven’t said why they kept you. I’m sorry.
Zhou Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei I’m sorry.
Zhou was in a hurry. He was really scared.
We asked him, “How long have you been on the island?” I’m sorry.
“It was normal for over a month, but the monsters suddenly locked us up. I’m sorry.
I thought about it and asked him, “Have you heard of a man named Li Wei on the island who may have been locked up like you?” I’m sorry.
Zhou Haquan cried and looked at me and said, “You’re not here to travel, you’re here to find someone? I’m sorry.
I know I can’t hide it, but I can only nod my head: “My father sent me a letter saying he was on the island alone, but I didn’t know where to start. I’m sorry.
And Zhou’s spring was silent for a moment, and he said: Find a way to save me. Among the monsters is a leader. He will surely know where your father is, and we will rule him together. I’m sorry.
I responded to Zhou’s request for patience until I came back, so I rushed to climb out of the wellheads along the aisle.
I was prepared to go back, but I didn’t think it was just two steps out of nowhere with a big figure and a machete in my hand.
And he looked at me with a violent and vicious face, and looked at me and said: Who sent you down? I’m sorry.
And We took two steps backward, consciously, and said: “What is the matter with you that you keep people below, and what do you want? This is illegal.” I’m sorry.
Ho Hae did not heed my question, but said, “What did he tell you? I’m sorry.
“He says that you are not human, that you treat him like a sheep, that you feed a terrible bat, and that you make tofu out of the blood of a bat, and that no normal man can eat, yet you monsters taste. I’m sorry.
I don’t know if it’s the monster that stings Ho Hae, and he’s got a tan on his face, a little lift in his right hand with a machete, and a pair of eyes staring at me.
“If I say he’s the monster, will you believe me? I’m sorry.
7
I was taken back to the village by Huhai.
I’m not taken back, I’m taken back with a knife.
The machetes of Ho Hae did not leave their hands and seemed to be trying to keep me from running away. Whatever I asked him, he refused to speak to me for half an hour, filled with a pattern that hated me.
Back in the village, Ho Hae locked me in his room, prevented me from going out, even when In-in came to see me, Hu Hae came over and said I was tired and needed a break.
I know, I’m under house arrest.
It won’t be long.
His attitude was better than that of Ho Hae, and his eyes were softer. He said, “Li Yan, Ho Hae said to me that you had just gone to the bottom of the well. You should have seen the man who was locked up. I’m sorry.
We said, “Captain Hu, what do you want to do? Do you want to put me in jail, or do you want to turn me into a sheep and let the bats lick my blood? He says you’re monsters, and you don’t look wrong. I’m sorry.
After listening to me, he was not angry, but asked me, “Do you have anything deformed?” I’m sorry.
And We laughed, “How can I be like you? I am not deformed, and I am of the normal.” I’m sorry.
He looked at me and said, “Li Yan, the people in our village are deformed, but we are not malicious, and some of us are normal, but they are deformed. I’m sorry.
“You’re saying that the victim you’re holding behind bars is a monster with an inner deformity. I’m sorry.
He shook his head and looked at me and said, “If you do not believe in it, don’t go out these days, and go back with him when the outsiders come to deliver the goods, but can I ask you a favor?” I’m sorry.
I’m surprised, instead of embarrassing me, I’m asking for help.
We said, “What do you want me to do, you won’t be afraid of me going out to the police? I’m sorry.
“I have a daughter who ran away 25 years ago and went out to the island alone, and I don’t know what’s going on. If possible, I want you to help me find her, give her a message, say it’s over, and come back if you can. I’m sorry.
The village chief said that there were tears in his eyes.
Seeing here, I was touched, and I said, “Okay, so if you have any contact with your daughter, maybe I can try to find her for you.” I’m sorry.
“All I know is that my daughter is in Sea City and I have an old picture of her. I’m sorry.
Upon completion of the speech, the village chief took an old yellow photograph from his pocket.
I just took a look at it.
The picture is a pair of men and women, holding hands and smiling very sweetly, just as my mother was young.
8
The man in the picture was tall, wearing a blue work uniform, smiling, probably my dad.
That’s right. My dad must be on the island. He’s alive.
And I endured the urge to tell the truth, and took the picture silently. I said, “I know your daughter’s name, and I asked a friend of the newspaper to look for it. I’m sorry.
“My daughter’s name is Huweilan. I’m sorry.
My mother’s name is Zhou Whelan, and the daughter of the village chief Hu, but I’m sure my mother is Hu Whelan and she changed her name to avoid the village chief.
But all of this is the story of the village chief, and I cannot easily believe him, especially in the matter of Zhou Haquan, where a human life is so insignificant.
In the evening, I heard a lot of noise outside the house, and there seemed to have been a lot of people who spoke local dialects, and I didn’t understand them, and they seemed to be fighting.
It was a while ago, and the noise was disappearing.
It didn’t take a while, but Zin pushed the door and came in with a bloody pancakes in his hand: “Big Sister, you’re hungry. Dad won’t give you that. This is for you. I’m sorry.
Look at the blood pancakes in front of me, I’m sick and I don’t want to eat them, but I can’t stand to let her down with the look on her face, but I can’t eat the diarrhea.
And I smiled, and I took a little bite, and it was unexpected, and it tasted amazingly good, and it was soy-curded, and it was sore.
“Big Sister, it’s good, eat more, have more at home. “Individence hand me another piece.”
I picked up the blood pancakes and ate them and said, “In, what’s going on out there? Where’s your father and grandpa? I’m sorry.
He said, “It’s like they’re talking about sheep, and they’re blaming Grandpa for not watching the sheep, and I don’t know where they’re going. It’ll take a while to come back. I’m sorry.
And I bited the last bite and asked her, “Inn, there’s a well east of the black house, and there’s a dungeon below. Do you know where your grandfather keeps the keys to the dungeon?” I’m sorry.
In-in noded, pointing to the house west: “On the wall of Grandpa’s room. I’m sorry.
When I heard that, I went into the house of the village chief and saw a bunch of keys on the wall.
The opportunity is not lost.
I’ll save Zhou and find my father with him before I find him.
I touched the head of In-in and said, “In, you wait at home. Big sister will be back soon. I’m sorry.
9
I came to the well again.
At that time, it was dark, and I was able to climb down with the faint moonlight and come to the cell of Zhou Haicheng.
He’s lying on his back like before, and he’s too weak to see me come. I’m sorry.
I noded my head and took out the key and said, “Don’t forget what you promised me. I’m sorry.
Zhou’s face was so excited that he grabbed the door and noded, and said, “I can’t forget, I’m going to find the leader, and I’m going to open the door. It’s not good if the freaks come.” I’m sorry.
I noded, and as soon as I opened the door, Zhou came out, probably for a little bit longer, and he almost fell on me.
I kept him busy and asked him how he was doing, and Zhou said he was not in the way, suggesting that I should leave, which was a little further from the cave where the monster leader was hiding.
Well, I went out behind the Zhouquan, and I didn’t think I’d climb out of the well, and I saw indian standing by, little body shivering, and I had a watchful eye.
“In, what are you doing here?” I said.
Inn took my hand and said, “Big sister, Dad says he’s bad, you can’t go with him. I’m sorry.
Wait until I say so, Zhou Haquaquan sneer down, and look at In-in, and say, “You’re young, you don’t know anything about grown-ups. Don’t forget, Uncle gave you chocolate.” I’m sorry.
That’s how I know why inn likes chocolate so much.
Maybe the chocolate worked, and nin stopped talking, and there was a little less guard in his eyes, and I said, “In, you go first. It’s too dangerous out there. Uncle and I are going to do something. I’m sorry.
Inn shakes his head and says, “Big sister, I’m not going back. I’m going with you. I’m sorry.
I went to work, and it was really inconvenient for me to turn her down, but Zhou Haquan opened his mouth: “Inin, you know the cave in the north, the cave where your father won’t let you go. Show us the way. Uncle knows you’re the best little friend in the village. I’m sorry.
Inn heard the compliment, noded the excitement, pulled me north.
On the way I was displeased, and looked at Zhou’s spring and said: “What are you doing with us when we go to work? She is still a child, and if anything happens, she will be too late to regret.” I’m sorry.
And Zhou Haquaquan laughed, and said, “Li Ying, do not worry, she will not be hurt if anything happens to us. She is more familiar with this land than we are with the cave to which we are going. I’m sorry.
Strictly speaking, my confidence in Zhouquan is not 100 per cent, but he is still a bit vigilant, and I did not respond, but I held her hand tight and kept her from me.
About half an hour ago, we finally got to an open ground, and there was a cave not far, and there seemed to be a light in it, and there was someone in it.
I asked Zhou what should be done at the Springs. Zhou looked around and whispered, “There is only one leader in there, and I went in and overpowered him. If I succeed, I will call you in there. You and In-in will be here. If anyone comes, run away, leave me alone.” I’m sorry.
Zhou Haiquan’s idea is good, at least me and Injian can be safe.
I noded and agreed to the Zhou Haiquan programme.
He was bowing and groping at the caves with his hands and feet, acting in a professional manner that did not at all look like an ordinary tourist or more like a trained man.
And while I was in the spring of Zhou, I asked In, “Do you know who’s in the cave?” I’m sorry.
He nodded: “Yes, my father said there was a very bad, very bad sheep, and he did not allow me to come near the cave, nor to see it. I’m sorry.
It’s a sheep in there. It’s not like Zhou Haquan.
And I said, “In, do you know the name of the bad sheep? I’m sorry.
“I don’t know, but you look like that sheep, I told you. I’m sorry.
10
Wrong, all wrong.
In-in means I look like someone in the hole, not like a sheep.
I’ve been looking at her like a child, thinking she’s a child, so I didn’t think about what she said.
If I’m not mistaken, there’s a good chance that the man in there is my father, and that’s exactly what Zhou Haiquan knew, so he left me out there on purpose so he could go in and control my dad alone.
When I thought of it, I told In to go back and shout, and I didn’t come back.
I was not far from the cave, but at this moment I was so anxious that I could fly into it in a single breath, and I didn’t think I’d been surprised by what was inside.
Inside the cave is a small laboratory, with a full range of experimental equipment and instruments, and Zhou Haiquan is standing in front of a computer and banging on the keyboard, as if he was copying documents.
A middle-aged man fell on the ground with blood on his forehead and appeared to have suffered considerable injuries.
I couldn’t care less to grab the bench and smash it while Zhou’s water spring was not paying attention.
I’ve got a lot of power, I’m pulling up the Zhou Springs, I’m hitting it cold and I’m about to fall on the ground, and the whole man looks at me like he’s angry.
“You’re going to die. I’m sorry.
And I cried, and looked at him, and said, “You cannot escape from the Zhouquan; you knew him that he was Li Wei, and you used me to save you for what was in the cave.” I’m sorry.
And Zhou’s water spring cried out, and cried out, “Look at that which thou hast saved me, and do not force me to do it, and let me go, and I will not prevent you from your father and your daughter, lest We separate you from the sun.” I’m sorry.
If I don’t answer, Zhou Haiquan quickly picks up the knife on the table and lays it on my father’s neck with thunder, he will die if he moves it gently.
My father was lying on the ground, breathing for a few consecutive seconds, and he was in a bad state, exactly as he said in his letter.
“Swallow, don’t listen to him. Don’t let him go. I’ll die. There’s nothing out there. It’s my fault. I’m sorry.
As soon as my father finished, Zhou Haiquan put his knife on it and the dark red blood began to seep out of my father’s neck.
I haven’t seen my dad since I was a kid, and I can’t watch him die in front of me. I don’t want to see him.
And I set aside a way, and I said, “Don’t hurt my father, I’ll let you go.” I’m sorry.
At that point, loud voices came out of the cave, and countless fires came in.
I didn’t think the village was coming so fast, and now even if I wanted to, Zhou Haiquan might not be able to get out.
Then it will not come to pass, and the head of the Qur’an will rise.
He looked at me and said, “Come and be my hostage.” I’m sorry.
Eleven.
I was taken hostage by Zhou Haiquan.
He put a knife around my neck and took me outside the cave.
Soon, countless fires lit him, surrounded by villagers from isolated villages.
And he stood by him, and looked at me with his face, and he said, “Don’t go anywhere. You have to go anywhere. You’re just like your mother, an incompetent bastard.” I’m sorry.
It was true that Ho Hae was talking about her, actually my mother, who seemed to have recognized me as his niece from the moment I appeared at their house.
The situation is indeed my own, and my lack of trust in them and my lack of vigilance ultimately led to the situation of the Zhouquan.
And Zhou’s water spring looked around, and said, “I will let me go, whatever your relationship, and I promise that I will not return, nor will I allow the company to give you enough for the rest of your lives.” I’m sorry.
Ho Hae did not move, saying, “We did not let go of Lee Wei’s land for more than 20 years. How can we let you go? You have only one choice. Put down your knife and stay on the island forever.” I’m sorry.
Zhou’s water spring rushed, and drew out the placard, saying, “The data in this plaque is of great value to the city. As long as I let go of it, the inhabitants of the island will be able to live their lives, and your daughter will be able to plasticize and never again be seen as a monster.” I’m sorry.
And there I was, and there was a clear sound of footsteps.
And I turned my head, and my father took the wall, and came out slowly, with tired faces.
He said, ‘You say they are monsters, but you are a monster. Even if you go out, the people of the company will not be able to save you. Only I will be able to prolong your life and stay on the island. That is your only choice.’ I’m sorry.
Zhou Haquan grabbed me and took a few steps back.
He said, “Li Wei, don’t be a good man here, why did you come to the island and not the company sent you to study the virus? I don’t need you to save the company’s scientists so that they can get your research data. They will save me. I have to leave here today, or your daughter will not survive.” I’m sorry.
When Zhou Haquan had finished, he slashed my neck with a knife, and the red blood fell down.
Through their dialogue, I understood the story.
When my father was ordered to study the virus, there were accidents and he was forced to stay on the island for 25 years.
The situation is very tense and my destiny is determined by my grandfather and uncle.
He did not speak until then, but he lamented: “Call aside, let him go.” I’m sorry.
“Dad, this is against the rules of the village. You let her go 25 years ago, and now you’re going to let her go again. Why didn’t you let my wife go? I’m your son. I’m sorry.
I can’t tell you what I heard.
I thought in-in was an innocent little girl. I didn’t think she was a deformed dwarf. She was an adult, so everything she said to me was not childish, but intentional.
In-in came out slowly, and she stopped smiling on the child’s face, and she said, “Dad, let her go. I’ve given her pancakes. I’m sure she’ll come back. I’m sorry.
Ho Hae looked surprisedly at In-in and hasn’t spoken for days.
My dad heard that, and he was all over the place, and he looked at In, and he said, “You’ve fed her blood tofu? I’m sorry.
“Li Wei-guk, you saved your wife and ruined my mother’s life. I don’t blame you. I just want my good sister to feel the pain I’ve suffered for years. I’m sorry.
Inn doesn’t have any expression, it doesn’t see any emotional fluctuations, it’s like talking about someone else.
Although my father did not make it clear, I could also feel that things were not good, but that Zhou was laughing at the springs and crying out, “Now let me go, you family are so interesting.” I’m sorry.
Everyone was silent, and the villagers looked to the village chief.
As if the village chief had grown old at once and cried out: “Let them go.” I’m sorry.
12
I was taken to a hidden camp to the west with a tent containing a lot of material.
He tied my hands and he killed me.
“Li Yin, if we stay here for a few days, we’ll have a fisherman to deliver, and we’ll get out of here on a fisherman’s boat, and I’ll let you go, but you may not know what your situation is, and I suggest you come back with me and the company’s scientists will help you. I’m sorry.
I’m not really sure, and I took this opportunity to ask him what the hell is going on.
Zhou has torn a bag of bread and seems to be very excited, and looks at me and says, “Not much I know. Twenty-five years ago, the company sent a team to collect samples of the virus in the name of tourism. I’m sorry.
“Victor sample”? I’m sorry.
“A deadly virus carried by a local bat, with symptoms like rabies, fear of water, fear of light, offensive, can lead to ulceration of the whole skin and, above all, extremely contagious. I’m sorry.
I looked at Zhou’s spring with some surprise, and I said, “What kind of company are you? I’m sorry.
Zhou Haiquan did not answer my question, and went on to say, “It was your father, Li Wei, who had a simple purpose, to collect samples of the virus and to study the secret of why the local villagers were not sick. The company did not realize that your father had been studying for 25 years, and although he had sent letters to the company all these years, he was slow, so it sent me to the island to see what your father was doing. I’m sorry.
We said, “They found you, so the villagers locked you up.” I’m sorry.
Zhou’s spring smiled twice, saying, “Li Yin, you misunderstood them. The villagers did not detain us, but tried to remove the virus from me, according to your father’s methods, which I did not like. I’m sorry.
I’m still shocked to hear it. It’s not what I thought.
It is no wonder I was free to run around the island, not because of my identity, but because they did not consider me an enemy at all.
And I said, “How did you catch the virus? I’m sorry.
Zhou Haiquan exclaimed: “We were attacked by bats when we collected the samples, and we were exposed at that time, but I didn’t know that indin was an adult and you were lured into blood tofu, which was no less viral than a bat. I’m sorry.
I kept quiet for a while and asked him, “What will happen to me?” I’m sorry.
“The virus’s incubation period is three months, and you’ll die painfully, but your father, after 25 years of research, should have figured out why the villagers are fine, and you’ll be fine if you bring his research back. I’m sorry.
Zhou Haiquan may feel like he’s talking too much, turning around and not answering my questions.
I’m sitting by and feeling pretty heavy.
I’d like to know exactly what happened that year, which led to Inn so hate me.
For the next few days, everything was quiet, the village didn’t come to us, and I didn’t mean to be embarrassed. He had only one request to me to get on the boat and not to talk, or he would kill even the old fishermen.
Soon, the day for the old fisherman to deliver the material.
13
I was brought to the shore early in the Zhou Springs, waiting for about 20 minutes, and the boat was seen coming from a distance.
He untied my rope and suggested I should not talk.
Otherwise, it’s not just me, it’s innocent old fishermen.
I am confident that Zhou Haizheng has such strength and that I have no intention of resisting it, and that when I return, I will find a way to get this straight.
A little while later, the boat landed slowly.
The old fisherman stood at the bow of Zhou’s water spring and said, “Mr. Zhou, I remember you, who came by my boat more than a month ago. I thought you were not going to go back to your company. I’m sorry.
And Zhou said, “They will be staying for a while, so I will go back to my work, and I will ask you a favor.” I’m sorry.
The old fisherman noded his head and said, “All right, the old rules, you help me get the stuff to the intersection, I’ll take you back. I’m sorry.
Zhou’s head shook and said, “O old man, take us home first. I’ll give you three times your money, and you’ll come back later, and I’ll be in a hurry. I’m sorry.
The old fisherman seemed a little unsatisfied, but he hesitated for a while and noded and said, “Come up, I wouldn’t have come back and forth without seeing you in a hurry. I’m sorry.
The old fisherman reached out with his left hand after he had said that we had to get on the boat and looked at me in the Zhouquan, he took a pedal in front of me and grabbed the old fisherman’s left hand.
The old fisherman was pulled onto the board of the Zhou Springs just a little bit.
Who knows if he has yet to stand firm, the old fisherman suddenly pulls out a syringe and lays it around the neck of the Zhouquan.
So I came too fast, and I didn’t react, and the Zhou Springs swayed and fell on the ground.
I looked at what was before me, and I had no idea what had happened, but the old fisherman looked at me with a smile and then lifted his clothes.
The rib dents in, as if it were a funnel, with a disgusting tumour.
I had no idea that the old fishermen were also villagers on the island.
I said, “You, you’re a villager on the island, and you’re the one who sent my dad a letter? I’m sorry.
The old fisherman nodded and said, “I knew who you were from when you asked Li Wei, because your mother was the one I sent, and you looked like her when she was young. I’m sorry.
Turning around, everything went back to square one.
We said, “What are you going to do now?” I’m sorry.
The old fisherman said, “He is already infected, and he cannot leave the island alone. As for you, I can take you back if you want to, but you must forget about it and never return.” I’m sorry.
I didn’t answer, but I flipped it out of Zhou’s pocket.
Staying, in my father’s condition, may not cure me completely, and in In and Huhai will not cooperate, but if I go back, I will have to hand these things over to the company behind Zhou Haiquan, with the same consequences.
I’ve been thinking about it for a while, and I’ve been thinking about it, and my dad hasn’t left for years, and I’d rather not contact me for 25 years, so I can’t let it go.
We shook our heads and said: “I am also infected. I’m sorry.
14
I returned to the village, and Zhou Haiquan was once again locked in a dungeon.
The Chief didn’t react too much when he saw me, as if he had known.
Ho Hae didn’t say anything, just called for my dad to come over, only in the infirm, looking at me with a very complicated look.
At this moment, I took the initiative to go to the infirm, and I said, “In, I’m sorry. I’m sorry.
And he looked at me and said, “You don’t hate me? I’m sorry.
I shook my head and said, “Inin, I know you haven’t been easy for years, but I’ve been deformed since I was a kid, and my toes are so much bigger than ordinary people, and many of my little friends laugh at me as if I didn’t hate you because of my father and my mother, and I’ll stay and do what I should do.” I’m sorry.
I understand in-in, so I really don’t blame her because she’s as poor as I am.
And I held on to In-in, and I said, “In-in, I’m sorry, I’ll be with you from now on.” I’m sorry.
And I let you hold me in my arms for a moment, and then I started crying, “You’re not sorry to me, I’m sorry to you, I see you in such good health, and I think about the pain that I’ve been through for 25 years, and I started to be unbalanced, so I wanted you to be infected with the virus and become a monster like me. I’m sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong. I’m sorry.
She was a kind girl, and at this moment all her emotions began to vent.
Soon Ho Hae brought my dad over.
Everyone’s leaving the big living room with me and my dad.
And I looked at my father and cried out, and I said: “Daddy, do you know that my mother and I suffered so much for so many years that I was said to be a wild child without a father?” I’m sorry.
And my father noded and cried, and he said, “I know, I know, and I know, and I want to tell you, but I can’t, I’m infected with the virus, I can’t get out of here. Once you know that I’m still alive, you’ll come to the island, and that’s what I fear most. You have no antibodies, and you cannot fight it.” I’m sorry.
I talked to my dad a lot. I figured out what was going on.
When my father was ordered to take samples on the island, according to his assumptions, the ancestors of the island had begun to fight the virus on the island after settling in order to escape the war, and, after centuries of evolution, antibodies had developed in future generations at various costs.
My father, in order to be able to study successfully, began to approach my mother, succeeded in gaining her approval and convinced her to help herself study the virus on the island, but it was unexpected that it was soon discovered by the village chief and Hu Hai.
In order to preserve the results of the study, my father vowed that he could help the village with the natural deformities of future generations, provided he was provided with sufficient laboratory equipment and equipment.
The study went well, and it took my father a year to study a test inhibitor and, if successful, the newborn child would most likely be a normal person, thus ridding himself of the curse of an isolated village.
The target was my aunt, Ho Hae’s wife, but on the same day, my dad suddenly found out that my mom had it, and he had only one test inhibitor.
Just that day, my father had a heart, he used the inhibitor on my mother and ran away with her overnight.
It was a pity that the two men who had not come far had been discovered by Ho Hae, who was angry and angry at my father, who was a scoundrel and eventually lost his mind and infected him with bat blood.
It was my grandfather who finally came out to clean up the mess. He let my mother go and told her never to come back.
My dad looked at me and said, “Well, if your mom hadn’t left, and if Ho Hae found out you were different from In-in, who wouldn’t know what he’d do, it seemed like my inhibitor worked. I’m sorry.
Honestly, I don’t know if it’s working, but I’m deformed, just closer to normal people.
I said, “Dad, what happened after that, they didn’t make you do inhibitors anymore? I’m sorry.
“Hu Hai can’t trust me, lock me up in a cave, and don’t let me walk away. I wouldn’t have had a chance to communicate with your mother if I hadn’t helped you. I knew your mother was gone, but I didn’t understand why she had let you here. I’m sorry.
I thought maybe that’s where my mom was in conflict.
She didn’t want me to take the risk, and she didn’t want me to spend my whole life without seeing my dad, so she left the iron box, and everything was up to me.
Eventually, I chose to open the iron box.
I said, “Dad, I’m infected with the virus. How’s the cure? I’m sorry.
My dad said, “It’s hard, I’ve studied so many years, I’ve only had to slow down the onset of the virus in my body, but my body is getting worse, and I can’t last much longer, and I think Zhou was right, and only the company can help you. I’m sorry.
And I shook my head and said, “Dad, I will not go to them, nor will I let these deadly things fall into the hands of multinational groups; even if I live only a dozen more years, that is enough.” I’m sorry.
My father knew that I had made up my mind and held my hand tight and didn’t say a word.
15
Three months later.
I never thought I’d be a woman captain one day.
Drives a fishing boat, runs at sea.
The old fisherman was old and he gave me the delivery of supplies to the island.
Although I have a virus inside me, it’s not so serious at this point in my father’s treatment that I can live like a normal person for at least a few years, and maybe by that time my father can find a cure for me.
As for the Zhouquan, he could not bear the days that had been put on the island day after day and could not finally survive.
Looking at the sea far away, I have only one thought in mind.
I’ll stay here forever to avoid more people getting on this cursed island.

I don’t know.
Keep your eyes on the road.
