The old man said, "I am really an indigenous resident on the island, but my hometown is not here. My hometown is in Kyoto. When we were young, our troops were stationed here. At that time, there were not many residents on the island. We were among the earliest group of islanders."

Upon hearing this, Ao Muyang felt awe-inspiring: "Oh, 未分文, are you a retired soldier of the troops stationed in the island?"

The old man does have the style of a military man, which has nothing to do with the white green military uniform on his body. It is because he sat down and his waist was straight, and his every move had a benchmark. He was as immovable as a mountain and was even more in a terrifying and shaking.

He nodded and the old man said, "Yes, I have been stationed on the island for twelve years, and later retired and couldn't adapt to life outside, so I just returned here. I eat and drink here, and I have self-sufficient fruits, vegetables and seafood. Haha, the scenery is very good, and it's not polluted yet, so it's great to live here."

There were a few old men in the military camp. The old man introduced them. They were all comrades-in-arms, but not all of them were soldiers. Everyone had been stationed on this island for many years. After retiring or retired, they returned to the island and lived in this military camp.

The hotel owner did not tell Ao Muyang that there were people living in the military camp, but only said that someone was maintaining it, which made him subconsciously think that there was no one in the military camp, and that the islanders would come to clean up.

When he saw this military camp, he lamented the hard work of the islanders. The military camp was too clean and spotless. Now, after hearing the old man's words, he understood that this was the credit of the veterans.

The small playground is located in an excellent location, overlooking most of the ocean. It is surrounded by mountains and is very hidden. It is equipped with a few cannons and is a sea turret.

While drinking tea, Ao Muyang looked at the ocean in the distance and said what he was thinking.

The veteran laughed: "Yes, because of this reason, we set up a military camp here, which is a fortress."

He also introduced to Ao Muyang that there was a circle of protective walls in the small playground to prevent soldiers from falling into the mountains. This was a bloody lesson. There were soldiers who once traveled at night, but something happened.

"When I was young, we young people had good physical fitness, but they were not nutritious. What are the night blindness and sleepwalking? There are so many diseases, and staying on the mountain is very dangerous."

"... Later, the guardrail was built, which was much safer. Later, the situation in the South China Sea calmed down. Our troops didn't have much work, so they demolished the guardrail and replaced it with a guardrail. In the end, there was no guardrail at the end..."

Ao Muyang was tasting tea, and the veteran introduced him some past events about Golden Monkey Island.

The veteran also introduced to him the trees on the small playground. They were called the wing trees, which were the trees planted by the first troops stationed in the island.

"When I came, they were only two or three meters high. Look now, oh, these are simply towering trees, but that's more than that. When it grows completely, it can reach a height of thirty or forty meters!"

Speaking of this, the veteran sighed: "Oh, but I can't see that day. Time flies so fast. When I first saw these sling trees, I was still a young man like you..."

As he said that, he smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly.

Ao Muyang comforted him and said, "All the old men have had the experience of a young man, but which young man has the experience of an old man? However, the young man must become an old man, and this experience itself is interesting."

The veteran understood what he meant, smiled and said, "Don't comfort me, I just sighed occasionally. If you are old, you will easily miss the past and the present."

Ao Muyang said: "I am not comforting you, but in fact I envy you, my grandfather, your youth is also the youth of the Republic. That era must have left you many beautiful memories. Look, you spent your best era here, and now you are back here, and after going around, you always live in the place you love. Is that amazing?"

The veteran smiled happily, and he added a cup of tea to Ao Muyang and said, "Okay, little brother, come and have another drink. I want to ask, where is your beloved place?"

Ao Muyang thought for a while and said slowly: "It's my hometown, a small fishing village, which looks quite similar to the Jinhou Island environment. It's surrounded by mountains and seas. It's very beautiful and very good."

The veteran said: "Young people today may not want to stay in a small fishing village, right? What are you doing now in the sea? Cargo ships? Fishing boats?"

"Fishing boat." Ao Muyang said, "But there are still many young people in our village, and everyone still has a lot of feelings for their hometown."

The veteran sighed: "Who has no feelings for his hometown? Come on, tea instead of wine, let's have a drink, and I wish our hometown will get better and better."

After drinking tea, Ao Muyang was about to continue walking.

The veteran put away the teacup and pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "It is the highest peak of the mountain, called Nanfeng. There is a copper lantern sign on it. The scenery is very good. I suggest that you have the energy to go and have a look."

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll head towards Nanfeng now."

The veteran also smiled: "Then before you leave, please pay the tea fee. We are so happy to chat, so we will give you a discount for one hundred yuan."

Ao Muyang was stunned: Damn, is this trick too dark?

Looking at his dumbfounded look, the veteran laughed: "Just kidding, don't mind young man."

The veterans in the military camp were very friendly. When they learned that he was going to head towards the top of the mountain, they also prepared some dried fruits for him. Of course, this didn't cost any money.

The veteran who gave him dried fruit reminded him: "The more you walk, the harder it is. You must be careful. Don't show off. If you can't go up, you must come down. Never forcefully climb the mountain."

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Okay, old man, don't worry, I'm not an impulsive young man."

The veteran pointed to the burly veteran who had been chatting with him before and said, "He is just a naughty man at your age."

Smiling and saying goodbye to several veterans, Ao Muyang led the general and the head of state to continue climbing up the mountain.

There were almost no mountain roads behind, and there were only traces of people walking.

The general explores the way forward, and Ao Muyang can follow him. The general will always find the most suitable place to step down.

Ao Muyang bent down and walked carefully, and suddenly something swept his hair.

He thought it was the leaves and didn't care. As a result, after a while, his scalp hurts, and something pulled his hair and pulled it.

In this way, he looked up and saw a pink-faced little monkey smiling at him.

There was a rustling sound, the leaves trembled, and another monkey about half a meter tall rushed out of the tree, reaching out to grab a branch and looking at him.

Both monkeys were not afraid of people. Ao Muyang took out a piece of jerky coconut meat, and the little monkey immediately rushed to his shoulder and reached out to snatch it away, and then jumped back to the tree. He was very smart.

After eating the jerky coconut meat, it seemed to taste delicious. It jumped on Ao Muyang's shoulder again, reached out and searched in his pocket...
