However, Shao Ruihan and Tang Ningshan first reach the target position. They see the five people sitting in a circle and playing poker. Now is the time to test the patience. Although they have five people on both sides, no one knows if they will take out their guns directly to shoot them without negotiating with them, so all they can do now is to wait.
Soon, Shao Ruihan sees that the other three of them have reached their designated locations, and gives them a gesture to ask them to stand in place to wait for his order. The five people in the grass house do not seem to have found that Shao Ruihan has escaped. They are still playing poker happily and chatting with each other.
"Boss, when can we go back? I haven't seen my mother for a long time. I have been living here since I came here. I am worried that when I can go home, my mother will not remember me." The voice of Mr. Four is with loneliness and missing, and the original smile on his face is gone. This makes Tang Ningshan feel sad for him in her heart. However, in order to make money, he has chosen this road, which is the fate he can't escape.
Obviously, Shao Ruihan can also hear their conversations. Although Tang Ningshan feels strange, on the second thought, it's not impossible. After the modification of the gene, his hearing will definitely be greatly improved. However, looking at Shao Ruihan's speechless expression, Tang Ningshan knows that he has no sympathy for Mr. Four, and he even spurns his behavior.
At this time, the boss also puts down the poker in his hand. He looks at the sky that is getting darker slowly, he squints and says "Who knows, we have been here for six years, right?"
And a few people around him also put down their poker. The joyful atmosphere just now disappears in an instant, leaving only the repression and missing.
"Boss, can we talk to Mr. Shao? We have been here for so many years, can we go back to stay with our families for several days?" Mr. Two suddenly says.
The boss is silent. When he looks at Mr. Two, his eyes flash a helpless expression, so that Mr. Two, who was still planning to say something, shuts up directly. In fact, all of them also understand that since they have chosen this road, it is too difficult for them to go back. In the past few years, many people have been sent to the island. They have been unable to remember how many people they have been locked in the island by them. Now, it's totally impossible for them to go back.
"Forget it, don't think so much. Instead of imagining some unrealistic things, we should think about how we can make more money for our families. After all, the ultimate goal for us here is to make money. What do you guys think?" The man in black clothes suddenly says.
Mr. Four gently pats his shoulder and says "Mr. Five, you are the last one who came here. We all understand your situation, but you have to know that some things are not what we can control. Every one of us wants to go back. I remember when I first met Mr. Shao, he told me that he would give me a very easy but high-paying job. At that time, I first entered the society, how could I resist such a temptation? But now, on the second thought, if I didn't promise to come here, I don't know what kind of life I would live now. Although the days here are not free, at least, our family can live a happy life. It's enough. This is the only hope that supports us to stay here."
After listening to the words of Mr. Four, several people hang their heads silently. Even, Tang Ningshan can feel their depressed feelings. In fact, when she thinks about it carefully, she can understand their thoughts. They are far away from home and come to A city, which is just to find a good place to earn more money for their families. Otherwise, who wants to leave home? When they first arrived in A city, they met Shao Xingsheng who could give them a lot of money. They were naturally willing to accept this work, so there would be a series of following things happen. Although Tang Ningshan sympathizes with these people, she feels that they should be treated like this, and they deserve it.
"Okay, don't think about it. It's going to be dark right away, let's go to cook." The boss speaks with a feeling of depression, but the expression on his face is much better.
After listening to the boss's words, Mr. Four says, "Boss, I and Mr. Five will go to pick some firewood back. Mr. Two, would you mind going fishing? Let's eat the grilled fish tonight."
After listening to his words, Mr. Two immediately nods and says, "Yes, we are going to cook more dishes today. Although we can't go home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with our families, we are all family now. Since today is the holidays, we have to eat a fancy dinner."
Tang Ningshan hears this sentence and suddenly turns to look at Shao Ruihan. She really doesn't know that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. To be precise, in addition to the Spring Festival, Tang Ningshan has no special feelings for any other festivals. After all, she uses to live alone, and she wouldn't care about these various festivals.
Shao Ruihan feels Tang Ningshan's gaze and also turns to look at her. Shao Ruihan does not feel pity at all for celebrating the festival on this desert island. His parents have been away from him for many years, and now he has married Tang Ningshan, so Tang Ningshan is his family. And now, they stay together on the island, does that mean they are celebrating this holiday together? Thinking this way, the sweet feeling fills the heart of Shao Ruihan.
"We will wait until they finish eating and then act. I think they are pitiful. You tell Shen Quan, and let them rest for a while, don't make any noise." Tang Ningshan says softly in Shao Ruihan's ear.
Shao Ruihan squints and nods. Although he does think that they all should be treated like this and he does not sympathize with them, looking at Tang Ningshan's eyes that are full of sympathy, he could only follow Tang Ningshan's mind.
Shao Ruihan turns his head and makes a gesture to Shen Quan, Niu Er, and Shi Shaohui, letting them all rest in their place. Tang Ningshan actually has ever learned these gestures and knows the meaning of these movement instructions, but she feels that if she is nervous, she would definitely misunderstand the meaning of these gestures. After all, the differences between each gesture are not big, but the meanings they represent are quite different.
Time is slowly passing. The five people are doing their own works. Some people are collecting firewood, some are fishing, and the rest are preparing to make fire.
In fact, Tang Ningshan has always wondered that since there are other wooden houses on the island, but why do they have to live in such a simple grass house? However, now she cannot get the answer. She can only wait for them to finish this sumptuous dinner.
"I'll go to the beach to wash the pot; do you guys want to go to the beach with me?" Mr. Two says to the other four people with a smile.
Mr. Four immediately nods and says "Sure, I'd like to go, we can enjoy the sea breeze at the beach, what about you guys?"
The boss waves his hand and says "You guys go, I am here to have a rest. After you have finished washing the pot and bowls, remember to bring them back, we have not many bowls left." After the boss finishes, the other four people leave.
Until the backs of the four people disappear in his sight, the boss takes back his gaze. After that, he glances at the location of Tang Ningshan and Shao Ruihan and says, "You guys come out. You have been there for so long, it's time to come out and talk."
Tang Ningshan looks at Shao Ruihan with a puzzled look. She doesn't understand how they were discovered. Or, is it possible that this is the trap of the boss? Shao Ruihan does not think too much. After the boss finishes his words, Shao Ruihan stands up directly. He doesn't have any fear at all, and he goes toward him calmly.
Tang Ningshan also stands up and follows behind Shao Ruihan. In fact, it is not because she questions Shao Ruihan's ability and wants to protect him. It's because that since the other party discovered Shao Ruihan, the other party must know that there is not only Shao Ruihan in that position, her hiding is meaningless.
When the boss sees them out, he goes into their grass house and finds a position to sit down. He slowly says "I really appreciate that you guys allow us to finish a festival dinner."
Shao Ruihan raises his eyebrows and smiles "My wife sympathizes with you, otherwise, I am afraid that you would have no chance to finish the meal." Shao Ruihan's sentence is really annoying so that Tang Ningshan speechlessly gives him a supercilious look. However, the boss does not care at all, he also smiles.
"Actually, I have already discovered that you came here to save him. However, the time when you guys show up is later than I thought. Originally, I thought that you guys will come to us the next day after he ran away." The boss's words stun Tang Ningshan.
"Did you find that he escaped?" Tang Ningshan asks incredulously.
The boss's face hangs a smile and nods directly. If it weren't for meeting him on this island, Tang Ningshan would have thought that he is an honest farmer. The clothes he wearing are somewhat worn, and his face and exposed arms are already yellow-brown, which is caused by long-term sunlight.
After seeing him nod, Tang Ningshan frowns immediately and asks "Since you know that he has left, why didn't you leave here? Or, report to your Mr. Shao? Why you are still waiting here?"
Shao Ruihan pulls Tang Ningshan and shakes his head. After that, he goes to the boss's side and sits down. "You are tired of it, aren't you? Actually, I thought there would be a fierce battle. However, since you are already prepared, you should know that this time you can really leave this island."
After the boss listens to Shao Ruihan's words, he immediately laughs out loud. "Who could not be tired of it? I think you have also heard the conversation of us just now. We have been living here for several years. In the beginning, we also fantasized that Mr. Shao would give us the opportunity to go home. But now, we will never have such unrealistic ideas..."
