Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 2240 St. Martins Island
St. Martins is not a desert island. There are fields, farms, and two small villages.But in general, there have never been many families on this small island, so that, except for the two small towns, nearly one-third of them are wasteland.
Today, it started to rain again on the island.
Why do you say "again"?In fact, it may be that nearly the entire land of the British land not far away is shrouded in lead clouds. Those clouds are special and probably can't accumulate water vapor, which makes the water vapor accumulate in the surrounding waters.
It has been raining on the island every other day during this period of time. It is estimated that this is the reason, and it really makes the residents of the island feel a little annoyed.
However, there is no other way. The roads in the countryside have been extremely muddy recently due to the precipitation. Most of the few islanders have to stay at home, and even complain about them and they can only talk to their families.
These Muggle islanders don't even know the actual situation outside, because the ships that used to come once a week have already stopped.That is to say, on the satellite TV that uses the "cauldron" to receive the signal, it is occasionally possible to see some French news that has been filtered by the control. As for the British TV that I usually watch... it has long been completely unavailable.
Obviously, St. Martins Island is indeed not a deserted island, but now it has become an isolated island forgotten by many people.
But it must be said that even if it was only accidents and coincidences, even if it was not the other party's original intention, this island was finally noticed by some people.
It was still raining today, but in the misty rain curtain, a group of tall, short, fat and thin figures appeared.These visitors who came in the rain did not disturb anyone on the island, but quietly did some strange work in the large clearing on the east side of the island.
If someone could fly into the air and look down, they would be able to see these hurried figures digging in the wasteland silently and regularly.They do not need a shovel to dig the soil, and they can easily lift up large chunks of soil and turf by just waving a small wooden stick in their hands.
It only took a long time for these people to dig out a lot of shallow pits with the heavier rain. The overall look is a circle composed of pits.
After setting up an canopy and ate something to fill their belly, the group began to dig ditches again.
The shallow ditches look like diversion ditches, but in fact, they seem to be shallow and narrow, and they are not even water ditches.
These shallow ditches connected the shallow pits that had been dug before, and under the continuous rain, they all accumulated into dotted small pools.If the water is accumulated, this picture will probably be very beautiful.
It's a pity that the mud in the pond is more than the water, and when you look at it, it is muddy and ugly.
However, these people who dig pits and furrows have obviously never considered any ornamentation, and there is no such indicator in their tasks.Most of the day has passed, many pits have been dug, and shallow trenches have connected them one by one.
The work they were responsible for seemed to be finished, so soon, most of these people disappeared out of thin air one after another, leaving only a few to be on guard around them.
The Muggle expulsion curse still works, and with this constant rain, no one will come to wander around this wasteland.
After staying for more than ten minutes, a second group of people appeared in the rain in the rain, and as soon as they arrived, they got busy without saying anything.
This second wave of people all came with things, and it seemed that they had brought pieces of slate.These stone slabs are large and small, and they are all discharged into the shallow pits that have been dug in advance according to the law of inside and out.
It's just that there are many pits dug, but there are not so many slabs.After placing the stone slabs, they disappeared and left silently, bringing more stone slabs to a place where they never knew, and the progress was not very fast.
It wasn't until noon on the second day that those pits were finally filled with slates—the second group's mission seemed to be completed.
As a result, they once again left only a few people to guard the site, and everyone else disappeared and left the island collectively.After half an hour of silence, the first group of people returned.
After these people poured something into every ditch, they began to fill the pits and ditch again.
Needless to say, filling soil is always easier and more convenient than digging pits and trenches one by one. After the wasteland is refilled with the soil that was dug out at the beginning...Finally, everyone disappeared.
During this one and a half day and nearly a whole night of work, the two groups of people completed these things mysteriously and strangely.The rain is still falling, but this wasteland that has just been bustling has finally returned to calm.
It is a pity that in the past few days, this area is afraid it will be difficult to truly restore its due tranquility-that is, more than an hour of tranquility has just passed, and the third group of people who do not know their origins are here again .
However, it is worth mentioning that there are only three people in this third wave.One of the two figures is slightly taller and the other slightly shorter. Seeing the figure through the rain curtain, they seem to be girls.There was another man who was a man. Although he was holding a small wooden stick in his hand, he was holding a shining silver sword in the other.
As long as you observe more, it is not difficult to find that the girl who is slightly shorter seems to be the leader of the three.
"Anyway, let's compact it first!"
The girl with some messy hair looked around for a week, then subconsciously stepped hard on the ground, and then said something like this.
The sound of speaking became very inconspicuous in the sound of rain that filled the surroundings and the waves of the outer sea.But when she had just finished saying this, she raised the stick in her hand and waved it quickly.
In the next moment, several cards flew out of her pocket, and inexplicable invisible forces began to cover the wasteland that had been dug and refilled.Wherever he went, the ground was slightly sinking, the dust was still, and even the rain seemed to be drawn by some force, and it fell much faster.
Before long, the loose soil on this wasteland was completely compacted, but because of the rain, the ground was still extremely muddy, and I was afraid that even the shoes would be stuck and glued after two steps.
After doing this, the three figures began to be busy with other things again, and occasionally they would discuss a few words in a low voice with each other, but they were basically busy most of the time.
Until the early morning of the third day, it rained for two consecutive days and nights, and it finally stopped.
