What is a holiday?

Everyone who had been busy investigating the case almost forgot about it, especially Zhan Zhao and Gongsun, until they came to Xiankong Island.

As soon as we arrived on the island, we saw the fjord at night, the boundless sea, the vast starry sky, and the dancing creatures between the pure heaven and earth. Everything was so beautiful that it was intoxicating.

Everyone in Kaifeng was "cured" the moment they arrived at the fjord, and the fatigue of this period disappeared instantly.

Both Yue Ying and Bao Bao were very naughty, and soon they became familiar with everyone in Kaifeng. I wonder if they felt some kind of "characteristics" in Zhan Zhao. Yue Ying even dived into the water and picked up a big lobster, which seemed to be an attempt.

Feeding Zhan Zhao made everyone laugh.

The fourth son and the others also came, and several children squatted on the shore to watch the baby Yueying. The baby sea pig even put its head in and kissed the little fourth son.

After a while, many other sea pigs gathered in the fjord, probably all of Yueying's tribe.

Big and small black and white "fat guys" are jumping on the water, as if there is some kind of ritual.

Bai Yutang knew that they were going to fish and were forming a formation, so he stood up and waved to them.

On the sea, "triangles" swam out of the fjord one by one, then formed a formation and swam away.

Yaoyao flapped its wings and flew onto the rocks at the mouth of the fjord, chirping in the distance.

The sea pigs seemed to have heard its cry and jumped out of the water one after another.

Everyone stood on the shore and looked around, and they all sighed - they swim so fast! They don't look like pigs at all!

Reluctantly leaving the fjord, meals were prepared in the front yard, and Island Master Lu prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone.

When Zhao Zhen heard that Liangchen Meimei had been chatting about Kun and sea pigs, he stamped his feet anxiously and said that he had not followed just now and had missed it!

Nangong nodded secretly at the side - it's a good thing he didn't follow him and was not taken away by Kun.

Lu Fang said that it’s time to have fun when you get to Skyfall Island. Stop thinking about the case all the time. It’s also important to balance work and rest!

Everyone nodded happily - everyone knows the truth. As long as the corpses don't come to our door, we can play until next year!

Zhan Zhao was sitting there eating lobster. I don’t know if it was because Yueying picked it up, but it felt particularly delicious!

Fifth Master held up his chin and asked him where he should go to play tomorrow? There are many interesting places in Xingkong Island.

Lin Yehuo and the others also asked when they would go to sea.

Han Zhang said that if you want to go to sea, you can wait a few days. Several large groups of whales have not arrived yet. Only the big-winged whales will be spectacular when the large group arrives. The sea is full of all kinds of whales, including the largest ones.

It's as big as the mermaids in the glaciers of Icefield Island, and it's also blue!

Zhao Pu asked Lu Fang, "During the fishing cessation season, what are everyone on the island mainly busy with?"

Lu Fang said with a smile, "The fishing moratorium is mainly about resting. Everyone spends time with their families, eating and drinking. Then there will be a small amount of farm work, repairing boats and houses, and other activities."

"Activities?" Lin Yehuo asked curiously, "Are there some blessing activities like my Devil City?"

"Pretty much!" Brother Lu nodded, "They're all about praying for good weather, it's an old tradition."

Everyone thought it was quite interesting.

Ye Zhiqiu has been playing here for several days and told everyone, "It's time to go fishing! Fishing in the sea is always fun!"

"Fishing?" The four children of Liangchenmeijing all came to Ye Zhiqiu's side.

I don’t know whether it’s because they are similar in stature or because the red fox tribe is naturally more popular with children, but Ye Zhiqiu is always surrounded by children wherever he goes.

When Zhan Zhao was full of lobsters, he asked Bai Yutang, "Why don't we help with some work? It's not good to just stay here and trouble everyone."

Bai Yutang thought for a while and said with a smile, "That's okay. In fact, it's all simple work."

After speaking, the fifth master asked his third brother, "Let's go help him tomorrow."

Xu Qing was happy when he heard it and said, "That's not bad. It would be nice to show everyone acquainted with the island!"

Bai Yutang nodded and gave Zhan Zhao a crab.

Zhan Zhao touched his belly and felt that he could still eat another crab, so he took it and opened the crab legs.

After eating, everyone went to take a bath in the hot springs and then rested early.

…

Early the next morning, everyone got up and put on clothes more suitable for "working".

The Demon King flexed his muscles because of the "rich resources" of Xianggong Island. He made a meal of fish, meat and seafood porridge for breakfast, and the aroma attracted almost all the cats on Xianggong Island.

To be honest, Fifth Master raised a lot of cats, including all kinds of cats. Zhao Zhen said they had more cats than those in the palace, and Gongsun said they probably had more cats than what was recorded in the book.

This time Concubine Pang also came and lived with Min Xiuxiu. Because Bai Yutang's sister-in-law was also a miracle doctor, Zhao Zhen felt more at ease with her taking care of Concubine Pang.

Lu Zhen and Xiang Xiang are about the same age. They just met last night and have already started playing together.

Zhao Zhen originally wanted to go with Zhan Zhao and the others to help with the work, but Lu Fang felt that this was still inappropriate. After all, Zhao Zhen's status was still special.

Zhao Zhen wanted to say something polite, but Zhao Pu and Nangong both pulled his sleeves, and both complained - you said you know how to work, don't tear down someone else's house all at once!

In the end, Zhao Zhen had to wait until everyone came back from work.

Fortunately, the emperor liked Lu Zhen very much and planned to teach Lu Zhen and Xiangxiang how to write and draw in person, and also accompany Concubine Pang to relieve her boredom.

…

Xiangkong Island has a large population. Almost all the fishermen’s families live on the island. Everyone in the street knows each other and takes care of each other.

During the off-fishing season, everyone would help each other with work, and Mr. San arranged some simple jobs for Zhan Zhao and the others.

They first went to build a fish pond for Grandma Yao, and then they could go shopping.

Today, Gongsun will go to see the patients on the island instead of Min Xiuxiu, who is taking care of Concubine Pang. Zhao Pu and the shadow guards will follow.

Liangchen Meijing went to help with Gongsun first, and then went fishing with Ye Zhiqiu on the seawall in the afternoon.

After the demon king finished breakfast, he took Tianzun, Yin Hou, Lu Tianhan and Yao Changtian to the mountains to enjoy the flowers.

After assigning tasks, everyone went out separately.

Grandma Yao lives on the east side of Xiankong Island.

Almost all the fishermen's families live on the east side of the island, where there are houses and farmland, and they live a comfortable pastoral life.

Fifth Master knew the way and took everyone to Grandma Yao's house. Along the way, he met many islanders and greeted everyone very cordially.

Many people on Xiangkong Island like to raise fish. They will make pools or glazed pools at home to raise all kinds of beautiful sea fish.

Bai Yutang is very knowledgeable about fish farming and would buy whole pieces of colored glass to make transparent fish tanks.

Xu Qing said that Granny Yao asked them to catch two lionfish a while ago and planned to build a big tank to keep in the yard.

Wu Ye, Zhan Zhao and the others came to Granny Yao's house together.

My mother-in-law lives alone with her two chubby grandchildren, and her son and daughter live next door.

The mother-in-law pointed to a huge piece of colored glass in the yard and asked Bai Yutang, "Can something like this work?"

Fifth Master nodded and said, "Yes, we can make a big pool!"

Building a pond was not difficult. Bai Yutang and Zou Liang took off their outer robes, mixed mud, and built the pond first, leaving one side to hold the glass.

Zhan Zhao and Lin Yehuo are obviously more interested in "lion fish".

Grandma Yao has temporarily raised fish in a large wooden barrel for the past two days, as well as a large tank of sea sand, coral shells and so on.

Zhan Zhao and Lin Yehuo looked at several strange-shaped fish in the bucket, whirring loudly.

The mother-in-law reached out to fish out the sea cucumber from the tank and showed it to the two of them. Then she pinched it and the sea cucumber "pulled".

Zhan Zhao and Lin Yehuo were so frightened that they yelled. Their mother-in-law also taught them that these are the intestines of sea cucumbers. If someone chases it, it will spit out its intestines for others to eat, and then take the opportunity to run away.

Zhan Zhao and Lin Yehuo kept shaking their heads - oh, what dirty animals! How ungrateful!

Lin Yehuo and Zhan Zhao looked at sea cucumbers and starfish, and after looking at starfish, they discovered elephant trunk clams.

Zhan Zhao poked it, and the clam's "nose" fell off. Lin Yehuo was so shocked that he ran straight into the room.

Huo Feng felt shocked and patted his head trying to forget the scene just now, "Ahhh! My nose fell off!"

Below, Zou Liang and Bai Yutang, who were building a wall, shook their heads speechlessly.

Grandma Yao told Zhan Zhao that these clams are delicious and she will cook them for you later.

Zhan Zhao nodded and poked the "nose" again.

As soon as Lin Yehuo came down, his mother-in-law shook her "nose" at him and said, "I'll fry it and eat it later!"

"Ahhhh!" Lin Yehuo went back to the room again, and he didn't know how the clam shell hit his spot.

Zhan Zhao reached into the bucket and fished out a worm-like thing. He asked his mother-in-law what it was and if it could be eaten, and even picked it up to scare Lin Yehuo.

Grandma Yao's two granddaughters were chubby and very cute. They gathered around Zhan Zhao and asked him where he and Little Fifth Master usually played. Is Kaifeng Mansion particularly big? They all wanted to go.

Zhan Zhao squatted and played with the two children.

Lin Yehuo came down from the roof, took something in his hand, and showed it to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao went over to take a look and saw that it was a gold copper plate.

Zhan Zhao blinked—really?
