In fact, Haiji Island is not big. After leaving the beach, you only need to walk for a while to reach the territory of the Formless Water mentioned by Xinhai. The whole journey may not take half an hour.

But in fact, it was only when he actually walked this journey that Ningzhe truly understood what the half-smiling expression in his heart really meant.

Yes, this journey is indeed not far, and it does not take much time to get there, but that is only if there is no one blocking the way.

Well... In fact, Ningzhe and Xinhai were not "blocked" by anyone. It can only be said that there were some villagers along the way. As soon as they saw the leader and "benefactor", they immediately swarmed up and surrounded them. The water is blocked.

Faced with this situation, Ningzhe, as the "benefactor" of Kaiji Island and also a "celebrity" awarded by the Inazuma Shogunate, had no chance to refuse the villagers' greetings, so he could only stay where he was and accept their hospitality. .....

Xinhai looked calm, as if he had been used to this for a long time, and even blinked at Ningzhe quietly.

"..."

Seeing Xinhai's flash of playful expression, Ningzhe didn't find it pleasant to see. He just felt that the villagers in front of him were so enthusiastic.

These villagers on Haizhi Island acted as if they had never seen Liyue people before. They were all staring at Ningzhe's face, and some even had the courage to come over and ask him if they could touch his hair.

Touch your hair?!

Why do you people from Haiji Island like Bai Mao so much?

Naturally, Ningzhe, who is clean and self-sufficient, does not allow this kind of thing to happen. Not even Zhongli has touched his hair. At present, only Ningguang, Keqing and Hutao have touched it. How could he let these people prick it?

So Ningzhe made a little effort and used his mental power to simply create a barrier. This barrier was harmless, but it could simulate touch and make these children feel like they were touching their hair.

Well, what a genius.

However, although this scene could deceive the villagers, it obviously could not be hidden from Xinhai. When she saw Ningzhe using this move, Xinhai noticed his actions almost instantly, but she did not say anything more, just He shook his head sadly, seeming to feel a little regretful about this.

Regret...yes, it is regret.

"..."

Seeing this situation, Ningzhe raised his eyebrows, then turned his head as if he didn't see anything.

If there weren't people everywhere who coveted his white hair, he wouldn't have dyed his hair black as soon as he returned to Liyue. He doesn't know what's going on with these people, and they are all so obsessed with white hair.

I didn’t see Xinhai catching Wanyosu either!

But he could only complain in his heart. Although the common people in front of him "blocked" his way, they should be the same group of people who Xinhai said coexisted with the formless water. ..

Their destination is the territory of the Formless Water, and they have kept a safe distance from the Formless Water for generations. Many children even often go to that place to play. It would be right to inform the people here in advance. .

So after the simple greetings, while Xinhai was chatting with the children, Ningzhe started to make insinuations.

His target is the village chief standing in front of him.

"Old man, I heard that many industries in Haiji Island are basically aligned with fishing, and fishing is also the largest industry in Haiji Island... But why are most families in the village farming?"

After taking a look at the small scattered farmland around him, Ningzhe asked with some confusion.

He discovered this problem when he first entered the village. Unlike other large and small settlements in Haiji Island, Ningzhe did not find anything similar to "fishing rods" or "harpoons" in this small village. ", "fishing nets" and a series of props used for fishing, but mostly agricultural props such as rakes and hoes.

It might be a bit surprising to change to other places, but this is Haiji Island. Land resources are very expensive and scarce. Almost every household relies on fishing to supplement their household income. Even fishery is the most important pillar for Haiji Island to survive...

Under such circumstances, it is an extremely strange thing for a purely agricultural village to appear... But judging from their appearance, they do not seem to be particularly poor, and their living standards are even higher than those of fishing villages by the sea.

Either there are some talented people in this village, or the land here is different from other places.

"Farming...there's something to be said for this..."

Seeing this foreigner who had a high reputation in Haiji Island ask about this matter, the old village chief was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and then said: "Our village... is a little far from the beach, and that There are not many fish on the beach... In the early years, some people went fishing, but the harvest was not good..."

In the early years, people still went fishing, but the harvest was not good?

Hearing this, Ningzhe frowned calmly. This was different from the information he had obtained...

The place where he stayed before was actually the beach closest to the village as the old village chief said. The location was not very close as he said, but when it comes to fishery resources...

Ningzhe didn't check it carefully, but just by his mental glance, he could sense that the beach was very lively and the fish activity was very dense. It was definitely not like there weren't many fish as the old village chief said.

but...

In the mental feedback sent back by Ningzhe, the old village chief's mood was very calm, and there was no trace of lying... This means that he was telling the truth. At least in his perception, the fish on that beach were very It is rare and not conducive to the development of fisheries.

"...So, the village is discussing reclaiming the surrounding land to grow some food. Thanks to Lord [Xiyi], the farmland that was reclaimed is particularly fertile, and the food grown is of high quality despite its short cycle time. "

When the word [Xiyi] was mentioned, the old village chief subconsciously puffed up his chest and seemed a little proud of it.

"I see...I'm just a little curious, who is this Lord [Xi Yi]? Is he a member of the god enshrined in the Coral Palace?"

Ningzhe's tone was very calm, with almost no mood swings. This chatty tone was the most likely to make people lower their vigilance - although from the current look, the old village chief didn't have any vigilance.

"No...no, Lord [Umikado Kaiji] protects our entire Kaiji Island, Lord Hiyi only protects this piece of our land..."

Hearing Ningzhe's words, the old village chief shook his head, then sighed and said: "If Mr. Ningzhe is interested, you can go see Master Xiyi in person, but please take my advice and don't step into that place. In the circle..."

Having said this, the old village chief took a look at the eye of the wind attribute god and the accessories that resembled the eye of the thunder element god on Ningzhe's waist, and frowned in surprise.

Two different eyes of God?

No wonder he was the one who was able to prevent the war and was awarded the title of "Celebrity" by the shogunate...
