Chapter 23, Elysium
It's a hellish island, but it's also a paradise island.
For some, it's hell.
They were sold in for various reasons since they were children, and they have lost everything since.
Dignity, personality, hope and freedom, even life.
As soon as they came to this island, they were no longer themselves, they could only be domesticated and tortured day after day.
Some people want to run away, some people want to kill themselves, some people become numb, some people go crazy.
There are always old people who disappear inexplicably, and there are always new people who are constantly being added.
The princess's mother is one of those people.
She had been on the island for fifteen years, and she was only seven years old when she came, and she remembered her surname Ke, but after coming here, her surname was never called again, and her name was changed to Rong Rong.
She was trafficked, and she remembers the weather was fine that day, and she followed her grandmother to her cousin's house for a drink.
Grandma chatted with the family, and she was alone in the house watching the chicks, and then someone picked her up in a car.
Since then, she has lived on the island to the present.
She was accompanied by a boatload of girls and boys about her size.
They huddled together in fear, but it was useless to be afraid, their fate was in someone else's hands.
They were dressed up and given to those who came to the island for fun.
The princess was an accident, under normal circumstances, they would not be allowed to have children, and of course no one wanted to have children, because the child born is the next self.
But the princess was an accident other than an accident, I don't know if it was because her vitality was too strong or something, she actually resisted all kinds of blows and survived from the mother's womb.
Rong Rong felt guilty because the drug had caused the princess to be deformed from the womb.
However, there are two sides to everything, and it was the deformity that gave her a different life from her mother.
After all, the number one requirement for a woman here is beauty.
Like the princess, she should have been thrown into the sea at birth, but fate was really amazing, and she met her savior, the master.
Her master is the only doctor on the island, who once rose and fell in the sea and saw through the coldness of the world, so he only wanted to do his best for the kind and poor people.
However, his desired later life was not fully realized, as he was also brought to the island.
At first, he would rather die than fight for the tiger, and later, when the injured children were brought to him one by one, his kindness made him accept the reality.
He couldn't bear it, but there was no way, the only thing he could do was to help them heal their injuries and alleviate their pain.
It was because of his special status that when he said that he wanted to keep the princess as a disciple, the princess saved her life.
Because of guilt, because of love, the princess grew up in lies.
The old physician and Rong Rong have made up a wonderful world for her to grow up carefree.
Tell her that this island is a paradise, everyone on the island loves each other and helps each other equally, and the reason why they don't leave is because the outside world is terrible, like a monster in the sea that eats people.
But when the princess grows up, she will explore the islands beyond the medicine furnace, and she will meet people who come to the medicine furnace to see a doctor, how can a delicate girl live forever in a story woven by lies?
She just didn't say anything.
She didn't say it, she wanted to fulfill her mother's dream, and since her mother thought that she should grow up in a beautiful environment, let her mother believe it.
She followed the old doctor every day to read medicine books, learn pharmacology, and grow medicinal herbs. Rong Rong would come to see her every morning in the morning, and this was when she was the happiest.
She lives a positive and optimistic life every day, bringing light to Rong Rong's gloomy life.
For others, the island is paradise.
They squander money and do whatever they are allowed to do.
As long as you come to this island, you will gain the power of life and death.
Of course, you have to be able to afford the money to match.
Here, anything can be bought and sold, and the island has a huge information system, so there are also people who come here not for fun, but to get the news they want.
The name of the island is Elysium.
The only entrance to the island is a deep harbor, where large ships can dock directly at the entrance of a cliff.
Many people take turns guarding day and night, and there is not a moment of opportunity for the captive to leave.
The rest of the place is impossible to leave the island, because there is a great beast in the sea below the island, its strength is strong enough to level the whole island, it is faster than any ship, as long as someone escapes, it can catch up in a moment, and the one who escapes has only one way, and that is to enter its belly.

Of course, none of these little fish knew it, and the princess would not tell her.
Xiao Yu pondered the flint in his hand, it was so inconspicuous, it could actually be ignited?
The princess taught her how to use it and what to pay attention to, and in Xiao Yu's opinion, this magical fire technique was on par with the spell.
In fact, everything in this world has its own principles, including magic.
Xiaoyu is very grateful, but it is a pity that he has no long things, and only said: In the future, I will come to thank you for the grace of borrowing clothes and giving fire.
The porridge was stuffing in the pot, and the princess was waiting for the master who returned from the medicine field, and Xiaoyu was attracted by the ingredients and seasonings in it since she arrived in the kitchen.
She didn't know a lot of things, but she did know the dried shellfish and the seaweed hanging under the window.
I just didn't expect it to be stored like this.
In the bottles and jars, every spice made her feel new, and the princess was on the side to explain the usefulness to her.
After listening to a lot at once, I don't quite remember please, so the princess smiled and said, "You wait, I'll write it down for you, and in the future, you can slowly distinguish it." ”
The two of them had a good conversation, and after the ink had dried, Xiao Yu carefully folded the paper and put it in the pocket inside the clothes.
Unconsciously, it was dark, and the princess looked outside the door, why hasn't the master come back yet?
Worried, he lit a lantern and said to Xiaoyu: "I'll go to the medicine field to see, the master should come back at this time in the past, if you are hungry, eat first." ”
Xiao Yu heard the two words first, and was excited for a while, but she had also read for a few years and been taught for decades, so she would not do this without waiting for the master to move the chopsticks first, unless she secretly did not let the master know.
But the princesses of the people have said it, so they have to be polite: "Of course, we have to wait for the master to come back and eat together, and we must respect the elders, let's go, let's go to the master together." ”
Xiao Yu said, taking the lead and going out.
The princess carried the lantern, and the little fish followed, and walked out of the yellow flower field in front of her. Suddenly, I heard a woman's crying and pleading in front of me.
The princess was so frightened that she almost lost the lantern, and ran forward regardless of it.
She was familiar with that voice, she had told her stories under the tree, taught her to sing on the ridges, it was a natural sound, a gentle admonition, and her mother.
