Chapter 260

This Husky wears a serious expression, looking exactly like a leader!

Damn, now that you mention it, I see it too; this dog looks exactly like my boss!

Once this bullet comment appeared.

Everyone else immediately started spamming the screen.

【Please do not insult Brother Ha!】

After driving for a short while.

They arrived before a river.

"The usual tourist route involves taking a boat to the opposite shore first, then walking for a bit, taking another boat to approach the cave, and finally walking up the bridge," Xu Zhao said, raising a hand to wipe his Sai Gang and spitting out the betel nut he had been chewing.

"First, you will see a small waterfall; you can follow the guide and take a bamboo raft to circle inside the cave, then admire the sky full of glowing blue stars, which are actually fireflies!"

Xu Zhao found a bamboo raft from the riverbank.

"It used to be boats, but now there are no conditions for that, so we can only use a bamboo raft."

They got on the wooden raft.

Xu Zhao picked up the oar and began rowing.

The bamboo raft cut through ripples.

Inside this river, many fish live.

At this moment, the warm sun slanted down onto the lake surface.

The water sparkled.

181. (1/5) The Island Keeper Xu Zhao, one person guarding one island.

Ning Chen gazed at the lake water, saying not a word.

Zhang Xiao also remained silent.

The Husky sat with a serious expression, looking up into the distance.

This person Xu Zhao, whether because he hadn't spoken to anyone for too long or for some other reason, acted like a chatterbox.

He spoke again at this moment, "Although we are not close, I am still very happy to meet you."

"I haven't seen a person for several months; to be honest, meeting you is a bit exciting!"

"Inside this nearly abandoned small island, being able to act as a guide for my home once more is already something precious."

Ning Chen suddenly said, "Aren't you lonely?"

This question left Xu Zhao stunned.

Then he smiled brightly, "I have no family left; they passed away from illness long ago, leaving only me. I have no special wishes either; I used to be a guide on the island, and being able to stay on this island is my final wish."

Xu Zhao looked at the people before him.

"I still want to thank you for letting me be a guide one more time."

"Otherwise, I would really be afraid of growing old in loneliness here; fortunately, I could meet you, so at least for the days ahead, I can die without regrets."

"I can be on this island, I can meet you; what loneliness is there for me?"

Xu Zhao pushed with the wooden oar.

His tone of voice was extremely relaxed.

But the content within was somewhat heavy.

One person guarding one island.

The past from back then vanished completely after the hurricane.

He gently rowed the oar.

Stirring up wave after wave on the river surface.

Like a boatman rowing in an Immortal River.

Leading people toward the Immortal Realm.

That which waves.

Is not merely the ripples on the river surface.

That which is held.

Is not merely the wooden oar used for rowing.

This scene.

Accompanied by Xu Zhao's story.

A thin thread drifted into the hearts of everyone in the live broadcast room.

Like ripples.

Stirring up waves in their hearts.

What loneliness is there?

It is enough to linger before the thing one loves most.

There is nothing to regret.

The viewers in the live broadcast room listened to Xu Zhao's words.

【For him, this island must be his last family.】

【This is long-term guardianship; for what one loves, one must strive to pursue and guard it!】

【I am so moved; when everyone else abandoned this island, only he stayed behind.】

"Yes! Guarding this island silently, just like a sentinel!"

"Who doesn't have something to cherish? Who doesn't have something to love!"

For a moment.

Everyone in the live stream was moved by Xu Zhao's words.

And the number of viewers in the live stream rose once again.

The current number had already reached 1.2 million.

Arriving at the opposite bank of the river.

Ning Chen looked at the scene before him.

It was still buildings severely damaged.

They continued forward along the man-made path.

There was a small path at the entrance.

Beside it was also a wooden raft.

It had been cleaned very thoroughly.

Clearly, Xu Zhao had cleaned it before.

"Let's go."

They boarded the wooden raft.

This time it was much faster.

Approaching a cave.

Inside it was pitch black, without any light.

Xu Zhao explained, "This is the entrance to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves."

"There is no seawater at the entrance now, but the deeper you go, the more seawater will surge in."

Ning Chen nodded and said, "Let's go down and take a look first."

He took out a flashlight.

Illuminating the somewhat bumpy path inside.

Everyone stood in a line and moved forward.

Ning Chen held the flashlight and stood at the very front.

Xu Zhao was behind him.

Then came Zhang Xiaonian and the Husky.

Xu Zhao began to introduce the origin of the cave:
