Chapter 183 (1/2)
There are about thirty people who want to go to the island with Ian.
On the way to the island, Ian saw from a long distance that there was a magnificent building in the middle of the island.
That's what Zick said, the only casino on the island.
They followed Yi'an and went to the casino, only to find a strange thing along the way.
As I said before, the residents of this island look very poor!
Many houses on the island not only look small, but also are almost dilapidated. Moreover, in Ian's careful observation, we find that most of the houses on the island are women and children, and few men.
These women and children have a bright complexion, and their clothes are patched. It's a feeling of gray. There are farmland on the island, but it's all these women and children who work in the fields. They are working in the hot sun, sweating and waving hoes.
When Yi'an was in Shuangyue village, he used to work on the ground. He squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, looked at it carefully, and then sniffed it.
The soil here, in fact, is very fertile, Yi'an said.
However, when he looked at the seedlings in the field, he found that these crops all showed a feeling of insufficient growth, yellow and yellow, and even large areas of land were in a state of waste.
”Zeke, where did you get the water and food you bought?” Yi an asked suspiciously: ”it's so poor here. How can there be surplus materials for sale?”
Zick pointed to the magnificent casino on the hillside and said, ”where else can we get it? Naturally, it's the casino. When we went to the island, we didn't see any shops for a long time. Finally, we found out that only things were sold in the casino after we asked the villagers. So we had to go there to buy. The news of the casino came from this way.”
”Why are all women and children in this village?” Ian asked again, ”even the farmers are. Where are the men in the village?”
Zick pointed to the casino and said, ”it's almost all there!”
Now, not only Ian, but also everyone was surprised: ”what
”Have all the men in the village gone to work in the casinos?” Ian asked in surprise.
”No!” Zick shook his head and said, ”they've all gone gambling!”
”All the men went to gamble, leaving the women and children to work in the fields?” Ian just thought it was amazing.
Zick shrugged and said, ”there's no way. This island of gramber is also known as the island of gamblers.”
