Chapter 234 Dayu's Parents
If Dayu hadn't said it, Tang Mo would never have known that the dirty little girl crawling around on the bed was now three years old.
A big belly and thin limbs are the most typical symptoms of malnutrition.
"elder brother."
Seeing Dayu coming back, the little girl crawled towards Dayu, but her arms were tied by chains again, restricting her movement. Tears welled up in worry.
Dayu put down the rice, untied the rope from his sister's arm, and held Xiaoyu in his arms.
"Sorry, I'm not at home usually. Xiaoyu is too young, so there's nothing I can do about it."
Dayu explained a little embarrassedly.
Tang Mo nodded, she completely understood.
For a fifteen-year-old kid to be able to do this is already very impressive.
"Your room is next door, so you can stay here peacefully. Neither Xiaoyu nor I will bother you."
Dayu speaks very politely, and at first glance he looks like a child who has been well educated since childhood.
The room that Tang Mo lived in was the room that Dayu's parents used to live in. Although no one had lived in it for more than a year, the room was still spotless and looked like it was often cleaned.
At the end of Tang Dynasty, he took out his bedding and pillows from the space, then moved a large wooden bucket for bathing and placed it in the corner of the room.
She estimated that she would have to live in this Yucun for a while, and she had to try her best to make her stay as comfortable as possible.
The first place that Tang Dynasty chose to visit was this fishing village in Donglin City, not only because this was the place where the pattern was located, but also for another important reason, that is, Tang Dynasty wanted to confirm a conjecture in his heart.
People have always faced strange beasts on land, but as we all know, the ocean has the most species of creatures.
So are there those terrible existences in the ocean?
If it really existed, what kind of scale and strength it would have, these were questions that the late Tang Dynasty was thinking about.
After all, the evolution speed of alien beasts on land is getting more and more terrifying, so Tang Dynasty's worries are not unnecessary.
But from the information she knows so far, people here have not encountered any terrifying existence yet.
I heard from Dayu that the fish and shrimps in the sea have all been mutated, but apart from being larger in size, they are no different from before, so people here only treat them as the previous seafood.
But there was one more thing that made Tang Mo very curious.
Although this small fishing village has a relatively small population and a relatively remote location.
But after all, it is a place where people gather, so how can it not be harassed by strange beasts at all?
This small fishing village is completely different from other bases. There are no fortifications, not even fences or anything.
People just live as freely as before.
Is there anything here that makes the alien beasts on land afraid?
There was no need to worry about all of this in the late Tang Dynasty. As long as he lived here for a few days, everything would have its own answer.
By the time Tang Mo finished taking a bath, washed off all the dust from his travels, and had a comfortable sleep, the sun had already set halfway down the mountain.
The evening in Yucun is as beautiful as a painting.
The connection between the sea and the sand, the connection between the sea and the sky, everything is shrouded in orange sunlight.
There are several small houses scattered here and there, and the relaxed and carefree smiles on people’s faces.
Tang Mo stood at the door, breathing in every mouthful of salty air here.
Xiao Yu was sitting on the sand at the door, while Dayu was holding a bowl of rice porridge and carefully feeding Xiao Yu one mouthful at a time.
"Sister Momo, are you awake? Dinner is left in the pot for you. You can just get a bowl and serve it yourself."
There had been no movement in Tang Mo's room, and Dayu thought it was inconvenient to disturb him, so he warmed the porridge left for Tang Mo in the pot.
At the end of Tang Dynasty, he watched Dayu feeding Xiao Yu rice porridge, but what he ate was a piece of dried fish in his hand.
He went to the pot and opened the lid. What Dayu left for himself was the same rice porridge as Xiaoyu.
It seems that Dayu himself is not willing to eat the rice porridge at all.
That's right, the way Xiao Yu's mouth grew bigger and he ate one mouthful at a time, squinting his little eyes in satisfaction, made Tang Mo look a little moved.
There wasn't that much fuss here. The sun during the day warmed the sand, so Tang Mo simply sat down next to Dayu.
"Can you tell me about your parents?"
At the end of Tang Dynasty, he had no intention of inquiring into other people's privacy, but Lai's sister-in-law said that Dayu's parents died while going to sea last year. It should be the early stage of the end of the world at that time.
The reason for their death may be of great significance to the understanding of this sea in the late Tang Dynasty.
"It's not inconvenient. My father is the best at fishing in our fishing village and the fastest at work. There are many houses here that my father helped build. My mother is the gentlest and most gentle person I have ever seen."
The kindest and most hard-working woman.”
Even the food in their hands was given by Tang Mo, who was their financial backer, so there was nothing inconvenient to say.
Tang Mo nodded. It was obvious that Dayu and Xiaoyu's parents must be very good people to raise their children so well.
"But last year, my father and mother went to sea together, but they didn't come back until the sun went down."
It is the rule here that fishing boats that go out to sea must come back before the sun goes down regardless of whether they have harvested or not.
Otherwise, once it gets dark, there is no lighthouse here, and the boats on the sea will lose their way.
"Later, my aunt took many people to look for her. After searching for a long time, they couldn't find her. They finally said that my father and mother encountered some kind of danger or were buried in the sea where we depend on for a living."
Dayu looked at the sea covered with the afterglow of the setting sun in front of him. He both loved the sea that raised them and hated it deeply.
“The boat has not been found until now, and even the wreckage has disappeared.
My father is the most powerful person I have ever met. I don’t believe that he is dead. He must have drifted somewhere in the ocean. They will definitely come home one day in the future.”
Dayu didn't look like he was deceiving himself. He really believed that his parents were still alive in this world.
Before his parents come back, he must take good care of his sister, let her grow up safely, and wait for her parents to come back together.
This is also the belief that this fifteen-year-old boy has insisted on for so long.
Two experienced fishermen couldn't even find the damage to the boat in the end, and Tang Mo had a general guess in his mind.
But looking at the firm eyes of the young man in front of her, she said nothing.
Xiaoyu is so young that even if he can babble a few words, he still doesn't understand what his brother means. He just opens his mouth wide to show that he still wants to eat.
