Chapter 769 768. Hospitality Victor (25)

"The cassowary, the fairy jadeite, the blue-winged kookaburra and the pale-headed rosella...there are so many rare and famous birds here!" Sophie exclaimed standing on the hill and looking at the flocks of birds.

This island is mountainous. Standing on the mountain and overlooking the surroundings, you can see many birds living here. There are bird nests in many places on the trees, on the ground, and in the grass.

Ah Meow's eyes were round, and she was struggling to catch the bird.

Li Du had no choice but to pat its butt hard to make it quiet, this brat was too worried.

It's understandable, though, that felines have a penchant for birds, which is an important part of their diet.

Cape Barron Island is smaller than Golden Island and has fewer residents. In order to prevent people's activities from affecting wetlands and bird habitats, the government does not encourage people to live on the island.

The island has no Internet, no government hydropower projects, and the transportation is very inconvenient, and there are no shopping malls, hospitals and other infrastructure, so there are no residents.

But there are all kinds of birds in the wetlands, and there are all kinds of people in the wetlands. There are still some residents on the island.

There was a time before when the government wanted to develop the island, so it opened up a large area along the east coast and hardened the roads.

Later, not long after this plan was launched, the concept of environmental protection began to impact the major governments, so the development plan was shelved.

For the people living on the island, they still have to thank the previous development plan, at least they can make a living here.

Li Du and the others watched the spectacular scene of thousands of birds returning to their nests in the evening, and then walked slowly along the rugged mountain road to find the settlement.

This is a small island like a paradise. The environment is very good, the air is very fresh, and there are many wetlands, lakes and rivers on the island. These are all fresh water resources. Li Du tasted the water when he washed his face, and felt that the water had a sweet taste.

Before the sun set, they entered a gathering place like a quaint town, which was their destination.

The island is often visited by tourists, so people are not surprised by their presence.

This gathering place occupies a small area, only about forty or fifty acres, surrounded by a circle of homemade wooden fences, like a village in the middle ages.

The houses inside are all self-built houses, rough in appearance, but very strong, using a lot of wood, anyway, wood is free on this island.

There is a store at the entrance of the village. This is not a store supported by the government, but someone who has a boat and will go to the nearest place to buy goods from time to time to meet the living needs of the residents.

When Li Du and others arrived, the gate of the gathering place was about to close, and they walked in quickly. The gatekeeper didn't ask them anything, and let them in directly.

Seeing this, Lu Guan became puzzled and said, "Man, you don't seem to suspect outsiders, so why are you setting up these things? Who do you want to block?"

The gatekeeper smiled and said, "We want to stop the pirates."

As he spoke, he patted his waist. He carried a shotgun on his back, the barrel of which stretched all the way to his waist.

Li Du was surprised and said, "Now there are still pirates in the sea?"

If there were pirates, they traveled a little too casually, with no weapons on board, and they sailed a yacht by themselves, showing off their wealth at sea.

The gatekeeper snorted and said, "Be careful, don't throw your life at sea for no reason."

The small two-story building at the entrance is a shop. There are some wooden shelves on the first floor, on which goods are placed. The boss is sitting at the entrance, smoking a hookah, and then waving to them.

Li Du walked over, and the boss stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "I'm Victor, the hospitable Victor, howling you."

His greetings were in Chinese, which was not standard, but it was enough to surprise Li Du, because Australians tend to be arrogant and arrogant, and they can't tell the difference between Asians and yellow races.

Li Du shook hands with him and said, "I'm Li. Nice to meet you. How do you know I'm Chinese?"

The boss winked at him and said: "I have a unique ability, I can tell where you are from, right, a friend from Germany, a guy from Mexico?"

He said the latter words to Brother Wolf and Godzilla, and they were also surprised.

Victor was an interesting man, and there was a row of wooden benches outside his door, so they sat down there.

Li Du asked for a bottle of brandy, not because he was a good wine, but because of the high humidity in the sea and the small island, he had to drink some spirits to make the blood flow faster, even the children had to drink some.

The boss sells a bottle of very ordinary brandy for one hundred yuan.

Li Du guessed that this bottle of wine only cost a few dollars outside, but the transportation on the island is inconvenient, so it is normal for things to be expensive.

A group of people shared a bottle of brandy, and Victor handed him the hookah and said, "Want to resist water vapor? Alcohol alone is useless. Come on, two sips per person, it will be exciting."

Li Du shook his head and declined politely, he doesn't smoke.

Hans didn't dislike it, and leaned over to hold the hookah and snorted and smoked.

Victor grinned and said, "I heard you talking about pirates just now? Haha, don't listen to old fools, there are no pirates here."

He pointed to his brain, and continued: "The old bird has a problem with his position, he is persecuted and delusional, you understand that, right? Understand him."

Li Du asked: "Old bird? You mean him?"

He pointed to the doorman.

Victor nodded, and Li Du asked again: "Then who are you guarding against with these fences?"

"It's not to guard against people, but to guard against animals and insects. Go to the fence and smell what it smells like." Victor said.

Li Du had already smelled it. When they approached the village, they could smell a strong smell of sulfur. Obviously, the residents used this thing to repel insects.

They had to stay here at night, and Victor kindly helped them find a hotel.

It is said to be a hotel, but it is actually a resident with many empty rooms. They provide simple rooms and bedding and pillows, and there are no other services. A room costs 20 yuan a night.

"If you want to eat, if you like fish, you should be happy, but I suggest you eat bird meat. The old bird should have caught a black goose today. It tastes delicious." Victor continued to introduce.

Li Du asked: "Shall I go and eat with the old bird? How much is it?"

Victor smiled slyly, and said: "You can eat here, my store is also a restaurant, haha, two in one, convenient for the public."

"How much?"

Victor said: "Give me 20 yuan each, and the two big guys are 50 yuan each, and then I will take care of it."

Li Du happily said: "Yes."

After a short contact, he felt that Victor was quite reliable. Apart from selling expensive wine, he handled other things very well, and the accommodation he helped them find was also very reliable.

Victor returned to the door of the store and shouted, the old bird came towards him, then he went back to the door and brought over the big birds hanging on the fence.
