Chapter 252: Exotic
The coachman shook the whip in his hand lightly after the windless command, and the three strong horses in front of the carriage opened their right hooves in unison when the whip in the coachman's hand made a crisp whip sound.
It wasn't until the carriage began to move forward that Ji Liuli, who had already gotten into the carriage in front of Yeluqing, had the leisure to look at the decoration and furnishings in the carriage.
Let's talk about the body of the carriage first, it was painted with that pitch-black ink, which made people feel very depressed, and even the small square table in the center of the carriage and the tea bowls and cups on the small square table were all inky porcelain with the same color as the body.
The chariot curtain, top and base are made of a uniform dark red crochet silk cloth.
However, the most noteworthy thing in the carriage is the soft carriage thick cushion on the base, that is, under her, Yeluqing, and Wufeng, which makes her feel as comfortable as if she is still on the soft chaise longue in Yeluqing's bedroom.
And just as Wufeng said, even if he had ordered the carriage driver to drive forward, she didn't feel the bumpiness that she should have in the carriage, and this smooth ride experience was probably inferior to Yeluqing's well-crafted carriage.
"That's right. Ji Liuli suddenly remembered that she didn't know anything about the final destination of her trip, so she looked at Wufeng. "No wind, the time you have to go back and forth to your home to prepare the dowry is surprisingly short, is your home near the east?"
Wufeng tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying. "It takes about eight hours from Donglin to my house, so I guess it's near Donglin. ”
"Eight hours...... It's pretty fast, too. Ji Liuli pursed her lips nonchalantly, feeling that the eight hours and the more than half a month she had come back from the border with Ye Luqing before must have been purely trivial, but she had sniffed out the unusual smell in this carriage with her keen sense of smell that was superior to ordinary people. "But there is a faint smell of the sea in your carriage, and it must have been at least four hours or more of the eight hours that this carriage has been at sea for at least four hours out of the eight hours it has been at your house?"
"Li'er is really insightful. Wufeng praised Ji Liuli bluntly without hesitation, just by a faint smell of the sea, you can judge that this carriage has ever been to sea, this Ji Liuli is definitely not a simple healer.
But this season's glass can not be people, how can it be a general?
Thinking of this, it is not surprising that Ji Liuli has too ordinary insight.
"Do you really want to go to sea?" Ye Luqing couldn't help frowning.
This should be Xiao Li'er's first time at sea, what if Xiao Li'er has symptoms of seasickness and seasickness?
Sickness and seasickness, two common diseases at sea, will cause the sick person to vomit strongly, just imagine, what if Xiao Li'er, who is already in the morning sickness period, vomits more strongly because of seasickness and seasickness, and finally has fetal gas?
"Hmm. Wufeng bowed slightly to answer Ye Luqing's question, and then turned his gaze to Ji Liuli. "The carriage will arrive at the east dock in an hour, and we will be on the sea for the next seven hours. ”
"......" Ji Liuli looked at Wufeng with a complaining expression, why didn't you tell her in advance if she wanted to take the sea route?" "Wufeng, why didn't you say you were going to take the sea route earlier? I didn't have any medicinal materials that could deal with emergencies at sea." ”
"Don't worry. Wufeng smiled confidently and explained to Ji Liuli and Ye Luqing. "Although we will be adrift at sea for a few hours, we will be in the carriage the whole time, so even those who are seasick and seasick will not feel any discomfort. ”
"From start to finish...... It's all in the carriage?" Ji Liuli couldn't believe Wufeng's words, and then understood the deep meaning of Wufeng's words. "Do you mean that there is a cargo ship at the docks that goes directly to your home and is large enough to accommodate this whole wagon?"
"That's not a cargo ship. Wufeng shook his head, the ship they were going to sit on in this carriage in an hour was the one he knew how to manipulate in a foreign land. "It's my family's own boat. ”
Hearing Wufeng's words, Ye Luqing, who was sitting cross-legged opposite Wufeng, couldn't help but ask anymore. "Wufeng, who are you sacred?"
Wufeng smiled lightly, but he didn't think to hide it. "I don't know if the third prince has ever heard of it...... Exotic?"
"Exotic?" Ye Luqing muttered two words that were both familiar and unfamiliar, and it took a long time to think of the small island that had been longed for by the people of Donglin and even other countries as legends for hundreds of years. "You mean the mythical island that is said to be able to change its position on its own at sea?"
"What a mysterious island. Wufeng rolled his eyes helplessly at the roof of the carriage. "It's all made up by greedy people who want to get their hands on the rich veins of our island, but who have lost their way at sea. ”
The reason why his foreign land has not been found by outsiders for so many years is only thanks to the fog that has been gathering for a long time in the three seas around the foreign island, if someone who understands the change of wind direction and the characteristics of the fog appears, he will definitely be able to easily find this strange land, a small island known as the mysterious island.
Ji Liuli, who was deeply troubled by the rumors spread by Yeluzhi and Yeluke, couldn't help but sigh when she heard the rumors that Wufeng mentioned the foreign land. The man said...... It's terrifying. ”
"So. "Wufeng looks helpless. "In order not to give the sinister ship owners in the dock a chance to know the location of our foreign land, a total of seventy-nine men, women and children on our island have worked together to complete a ship belonging to our foreign land, so that it will be more convenient to enter and exit the foreign land at any time. ”
"There are seventy-nine people on your island?" Ji Liuli's eyes widened suddenly, she thought that there were at least thousands of people living on that mysterious island that had been rumored for hundreds of years.
"Alas. Wufeng sighed wistfully. "Including the young people from the outlying islands, there are only seventy-nine people left in the foreign land. ”
"Seventy-nine...... This number is too weird. Ye Luqing also felt that it was impossible for a small island with a history of hundreds of years to only have seventy-nine people.
"Stop talking about it. Wufeng shook his head solemnly at Ye Luqing and Ji Liuli. "This matter has been the biggest taboo in the foreign land for hundreds of years, the less you know about it, the more you can leave the foreign land safely, if you let the island master know that you two foreigners are talking about this matter, I am afraid that you will not be spared, and even I will not be able to save your two lives at that time."
