After the boss kicked out the scumbag educated youth, he remarried the cold-faced evil spirit

Shen Kaichi turned his head to look at her, then reached out and rubbed her head, saying, "I have to do something. I'll find you what materials you need to make that space button."

"Anything with a high plasticity, such as metal or stone, will do."

"I came across an article before that said gold is more malleable than any other metal. Perhaps we can try it on gold. If that doesn't work, I'll look for other metals."

"Before, we made rubbings of defensive talismans for the warriors because their clothes were larger than the defensive talismans. But if we want to make storage jewelry, we need to reduce the overall size of the talismans on the storage talismans."

This was not a difficult task for her before.

But now, her talisman pen has become worn out, and it is a bit difficult for her to draw talismans of normal size.

A smaller version of the talisman, this is almost impossible. It seems that I have to find the materials to repair the talisman pen as soon as possible.

"Last time I heard you say that your talisman brush didn't seem to be working well. I have a friend who is much older than me and loves to write. He has a lot of brushes. I'll take you to him to choose one when the time comes."

"it is good."

As they talked, they arrived in town unknowingly.

The two of them were dressed simply, so they did not attract attention when they entered the town.

"Should we go to their local government first? Or should we ask someone about the situation first?"

"Let's not go to the local government yet. Before coming here, Chief Xu asked me to ask the wife of one of his former subordinates about the situation."

He picked up the paper and took a look at it, then said, "This is it."

Just as the two were about to knock on the door, they heard a quarrel coming from inside the house.

Then a girl was pushed out.

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pretty face but a very thin figure.

Inside the house, a woman was cursing.

"If you don't get married, can you still expect me to support you for the rest of your life? Your biological parents are dead, and I'm just a stepmother. Is it easy for me to raise you to this age?"

There were occasional fights and quarrels. Lin Liufu and Shen Kaichi looked at each other but did not leave.

The woman glanced at the two of them, then ran away.

Lin Liufu glanced inside the house, then hid behind Shen Kaichi and took out two cans of yellow peaches and a bag of cakes from his space. He secretly stuffed them into Shen Kaichi's hands and said, "Since you're here, it's not good to come empty-handed."

Shen Kaichi smiled when he heard this. It turned out that she was very thoughtful.

"Aunt, Commander Xu sent me to check on you. How are you feeling lately?"

Seeing Shen Kaichi carrying things into the house, the woman's originally angry expression subsided slightly. She moved two stools over and motioned for the two to sit down and talk.

Shen Kaichi put the things on the table and then sat next to Lin Liufu.

"Thank you for your concern, Commander Xu. We are doing well."

"Auntie, I came here today to ask you something. I heard that many people have disappeared recently. Are you safe here?"

Upon hearing this, the woman glanced outside cautiously, then quickly closed the doors and windows. She said nervously, "We did lose a few people here a while ago, but they weren't missing; they were bitten to death by sea snakes. There's a small island about thirty miles from our town that's a bit strange, but something happened there before, so no one dares to go there anymore."

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other.

Lin Liufu felt that this woman must know something.

"Auntie, that island..."

"That island is famous here as the Snake Island. There are countless poisonous snakes there. Anyone who has been to the island has never returned. However..."

At this point, she couldn't help but move closer to the two of them and continued in a low voice, "In the past, people from our town went fishing and passed by that island from afar. I don't know who had put up barbed wire around it. When I looked through a telescope, I found that the wire was covered with densely packed snakes.

There are rumors that if a ship approaches, it will be attacked by sea snakes. Nowadays, people who go out to sea will subconsciously avoid that place for fear of being targeted.

"The local officials didn't send anyone to investigate. A sea snake bite that killed so many people is no small matter. It should have been reported to the higher-ups, but they didn't get the news."

Upon hearing this, the woman sneered and said, "They are just a bunch of useless people who are trying to plunder the people. They usually speak slogans better than they sing, but when it comes to doing things, they run away faster than anyone else."

"Aunt, you mean the town officials knew about the strangeness of the island? But they didn't take any action?"

The woman snorted coldly, her tone full of disdain.

"Go? Why not? He just sailed around the beach twice and came back. And he told us not to spread rumors."

The behavior of local officials is indeed a bit strange.

"To be honest, Auntie, we are here today just for the missing people. I wonder if you can find us a boat? We can pay for it!"

"No matter how much money you offer, few people would dare to go. However, I do know an old sailor whose son is seriously ill and in urgent need of money. If you don't mind his age, I can take you there."

Lin Liufu glanced at Shen Kaichi.

"Aunt, I mean we should go there on our own. We have ways to deal with those sea snakes, but if we bring an old man with us, it will be easy to distract us. I can drive a boat, and I will definitely not damage someone else's boat."

After hearing this, the woman looked at the two men suspiciously and said, "My father-in-law left behind a boat. If you don't mind, you can take the boat away."

"Aunt, let's go over there now. Let's finish these things as soon as possible so that we can go back and report back soon."

"Ugh."

As a result, when the three of them opened the door, they saw the girl looking at them with red eyes.

"I'll go as well."

The woman was a little anxious: "What are you going to do?"

"Mom, I can't let him die in vain. You always told me to get married, but he died in such an unclear way. How can I live with someone else in peace? Comrades, my boyfriend died not long ago. Others say he was poisoned by a sea snake, but I don't believe it. Our town has been bitten by sea snakes before. According to them, after being bitten, there is only a slight stinging sensation at first, and then over time, symptoms such as difficulty breathing and weakness will appear..."

At this point, she wiped her tears and continued, "But my boyfriend doesn't have these symptoms. I've examined his body and there's no sign of a snake bite anywhere. His symptoms suggest poisoning, but definitely not snake venom."

Hearing this, the woman sighed and said, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence. Be careful of being targeted by those people. Hey! If I don't let you go to sea, you will definitely feel very uncomfortable. Comrades, can you..."

"We're not going to that island."

"It's okay, I just want to go see what's going on."

She would find a way to get to the island on her own.

"My daughter, take this thing carefully, there is no peace on the sea."
