Feng Yi took the model and sat down on the chair opposite the butler.
"You did this yourself?"
"Of course! I agreed to make it myself."
"This model is very good, I like it very much. I can see that you put a lot of effort into making it. But, don't you think there's something wrong with this tooth?" Feng Yi looked at the butler.
The butler didn't even raise an eyebrow, "Oh, maybe I was too engrossed in the process and neglected it."
Feng Yi continued to look at him expressionlessly.
The butler smiled lovingly and said slowly, "Hey, the next one, the next one will definitely be more perfect!"
Feng Yi: “…”
I don’t believe you!
Wait for the plane to take off and enter a stable flight state.
Xiao Bing started to get busy, and the meals came up one after another.
During this trip, Feng Yi treated the butler as an elder, but it was obvious that the butler was still obsessed with his role and enjoyed it.
Before Feng Yi could do anything, the butler stood up and set the table for him.
Feng Yi couldn't stop it.
The longer I interact with the butler, the more I discover that this old man has a lot of secrets.
Feng Yi had never heard him mention Qin Juan, and his former life manager was unwilling to say much, only saying that he had made some small investments in the past.
Now it seems that the so-called "some small investments" were too modest.
Everyone has secrets, and Feng Yi respects his privacy.
But there are too many incomprehensible things about the butler, such as—
Feng Yi: "Why did you choose to be a housekeeper?"
Butler: "A life pursuit."
After a long flight of several hours, Feng Yi asked the housekeeper to go to the bedroom to rest. As he was old, it was not good for him to sit like this for a long time.
However, the butler refused.
During this trip, the butler was in a strange state of excitement. He kept writing and drawing in his mysterious notebook, and he would not allow anyone to read it. When he got tired of writing, he would adjust the back of his chair, close his eyes and rest for a while, and then continue writing.
Feng Yi wondered if the housekeeper was so excited because he was going to visit his aunt
Getting closer to the destination.
Through the plane, he could feel the energy particles high in the sky above the clouds outside.
That is the type of substance sensed in the sky on the day of Jingzhe.
The closer you are to your destination, the more energy substances you will find.
However, Feng Yi couldn't try anything now. For the safety of all the crew members, he had to maintain his current state.
To be honest, he was very nervous when taking the plane, fearing that something might happen to him during the flight and affect the flight.
Even though the butler told him that as long as he kept the mimicry, there would be no problem, he was still nervous.
Finally arriving at the destination, Feng Yi's tension was relieved.
After landing at the airport, Feng Yi doesn't need to worry about the procedures.
There's a car waiting outside.
On the way from the airport to the beach, Feng Yi looked outside through the car window.
It is not the peak tourist season now, but there are still many people coming here to travel or do filming work.
Various skin colors and hair colors, different language habits.
However, Feng Yi and his team’s final destination today is not here.
Went to the seaside and changed yachts.
The yacht has a very strong personal style and it can be seen that it is custom-made and not rented to tourists.
"What is this yacht?" Feng Yi asked.
"The housekeeper." Xiaojia said.
"oh."
Feng Yi no longer felt any big waves in his heart.
The group boarded a yacht and headed for the target island.
The small island that my great aunt bought is not big in this archipelago, but it is definitely not small.
Before coming here, the butler told Feng Yi the origin of this island.
During periods of climate anomaly, news about rising sea levels and all kinds of terrible doomsday speculations are flying everywhere.
The previous owner was worried that the island would be flooded, so he sold it and used the money to do other things.
At that time, many island owners wanted to sell their islands, but my aunt finally chose this one to buy.
Relatively speaking, the 20 years of abnormal climate had little impact on the island. After the climate returned to normal, the island also underwent great changes. The environment of the island and its surroundings recovered quickly and was even better than before the abnormal climate period.
There are also more traces of human life on the island.
Feng Yi looked at the island that was getting closer and closer.
There was also a tourist boat ahead of them, probably curious tourists.
As soon as the yacht approached, a yacht of the island security personnel went over to persuade it to leave.
The yacht carrying the tourists left quickly.
As for Feng Yi and his group, the security personnel did not come to stop them at all.
Xiao Bing explained to Feng Yi: "This yacht is the pass."
Before her aunt passed away, she gave this island to her eldest son. According to seniority, Feng Yi should call him his cousin.
According to the housekeeper, it was the cousin who drew the island. However, although the island belongs to the cousin, other children of my aunt will also bring their families here for vacation.
This is equivalent to a more private, family tourist destination.
When the housekeeper mentioned the aunt's children, his tone was very calm and he did not show any closeness.
It’s not that those cousins, uncles, and uncles whom I have never met, have any problems in the way they behave.
The butler's attitude seemed more like he was not interested.
The island is divided into several areas, including areas for hired personnel to live in and areas for entertaining guests.
The most central area on the island is the area belonging to the owner's family.
The housekeeper also has a house on the island, or to be more precise, a local-style house.
Leading Feng Yi inside, the butler pointed to a room and said to Feng Yi, "The room over there is prepared for you."
Opening the door, Feng Yi saw the layout inside.
It was similar to his room at home, with the same large pancake bed.
After putting down his luggage, Feng Yi was planning to go to visit his aunt's grave first, but the housekeeper waved his hand:
"Don't worry, take a rest first and have a good meal before going."
The food had been prepared long ago, and Xiao Bing could eat it after a little processing.
It tasted good, but Feng Yi was a little absent-minded while eating.
How to say it, he felt that his aunt was not here.
After observing the butler's attitude again, Feng Yi became more certain.
However, Feng Yi didn't say much. Since they had already come here, there was no need to rush.
After dinner and a short rest, Feng Yi followed the butler to where the tombstone was.
In the core area of the island, there is a small garden with two tombstones -
My great aunt and great uncle.
From the words engraved on the tombstone, Feng Yi could tell that his uncle had passed away for several years.
"When he was young, he wandered around. When he was old, he closed his eyes on this quiet island. This was his choice."
The butler's tone was calm, and not much emotion could be heard from it.
"And Ms. Feng... She once told me that the whole world is home, and everywhere is the same."
Feng Yi bowed to the tombstone.
Although there are two tombstones in front of him, there are only the ashes of his great-uncle's.
Auntie...
My aunt is definitely not here.
The butler looked at the tombstone and saw certain memories through the tombstone.
"She has always been in good health. She is still able to walk briskly even when she is over 80 years old, carrying a large python. She even puts on makeup to make herself look older when she goes out, saying that people may mistake her for a monster."
"But suddenly one day, she said the end was near."
"Then make a will and divide the property."
"She said that when the old individuals reach the end of their lives, the heirs will begin to awaken."
"It was also at that time that she sensed that you were the most likely successor."
"Before that, there is no way to know who the heir will be. It could be her own child, or it could be a total stranger. It could be surnamed Feng, or it could be someone else. The possibility of being born in the Year of the Snake is a little higher, but it is not absolute."
The butler talked about what happened in the past.
"I originally wanted to observe you for a while, but when I saw that your situation was not good, I contacted you in advance."
Feng Yi asked: "Then, what about the zodiac sign coins?"
The housekeeper said: "A kind of key. If you don't have the zodiac coin, you have to find it first. Only with the 'key' can you enter the secret room on Xiaofeng Mountain, where the gene activation will be carried out. If the activation fails, I will go find the next successor."
The good thing is that Feng Yi succeeded.
Therefore, after that, the butler's attitude towards him changed significantly.
"What will you do if I fail to activate the gene?" Feng Yi asked.
The housekeeper smiled and said, "I know a hypnotist who may be able to make you lose that part of your memory, or just think it was a dream. As compensation, I will help you pay off your debt."
Feng Yi nodded.
Regardless of whether this statement is true or not, it sounds okay. At least it doesn't mean that he will disappear from this world directly.
The butler shifted his gaze away from the tombstone and looked up at the sky, or through the dense woods to look at the distant sea.
"We don't know where her last location was."
So before this, every time Feng Yi asked, the butler's answer was always vague. It was not that he was deliberately being evasive, but that he really didn't know.
The butler retracted his gaze and looked at Feng Yi beside him:
"You, can sense the direction?"
"Yeah." Feng Yi said.
The instinctive compass had already started turning, as if there was a needle in his mind, pointing in the direction that the aunt had finally gone.
"Before she passed away, she swam to the sea and didn't let us follow her, saying that the energy change would cause a storm." The butler said with a sad tone, "She also said that if you want to go over there, we can't follow you. If you follow us, everyone on the boat will be buried at the bottom of the sea."
In fact, after being together for so long, the housekeeper could guess a little bit.
We can make some guesses by looking at the movement of Feng Yi shedding his skin during the Waking of Insects.
Waterspouts can be "summoned" so far away from the sea, and such thick clouds have accumulated above the entire city. Once it really reaches the sea and a big storm comes, humans are like ants.
After listening to the housekeeper talk about past events in the small garden, Feng Yi went out to sea with them on a yacht.
Far away from the small islands, there are no other tourists or adventure sailboats in sight.
"Here it is."
Feng Yi had changed his clothes long ago and was only wearing a bathrobe.
Throw away your bathrobe and jump into the sea.
He surfaced, said hello to the butler and the others, then dived back into the sea.
It changes from mimicry to its original form and swims to distant seas.
On the yacht, the butler remained silent.
The atmosphere was a bit depressing, and Xiaojia and the others didn't say anything.
Until we return to shore.
The housekeeper said to Xiao Bing, "Prepare the ingredients in advance, and prepare plenty of meat. He will need a lot of food when he comes back tomorrow."
Xiao Bing looked serious: "Okay!"
As he said this, he prepared to buy it.
He ran two steps, then stepped back after remembering something. Xiao Bing asked, "How much should you prepare?"
Butler: "Two...three...five times the usual amount."
