Chapter 69: Landing on Withered Island
The sea breeze blows through the body of the cold wind, but the wind is mixed with the smell of heat.
Even at night, the temperature dropped by only two degrees.
Leng Feng lay on the sofa and fell asleep, sea voyages are the most likely to make people feel tired, not to mention that he himself has not had a good rest.
Li Qing is in charge of driving the yacht, and now the only one who hasn't slept is her.
At six thirty o'clock in the morning, the sun had climbed into the sky, and the night had passed, replaced by bright sunshine.
And a kilometer in front of the yacht, a huge island appeared.
The island is full of dense woods, and there is a small pier on the shore.
Li Qing adjusted her direction and headed towards the island.
This is the goal of everyone's trip, Dry Vine Island.
The yacht slowly stopped on the shore, and there were several dinghys on the dock, but it was too early for anyone to be on the dock.
Li Qing looked around, then left the console, came to the deck, and gently pushed the cold air.
Feeling someone pushing him, the cold wind slowly opened his eyes.
What caught his eye was Li Qing's appearance, Leng Feng turned over a little tiredly, obviously wanting to sleep.
"Get up, we're here. Li Qing continued to push the cold wind.
"Arrived?"
Hearing Li Qing's words, Leng Feng suddenly jumped up from the sofa.
After seeing the dry vine island, Leng Feng raised his eyebrows.
It is worthy of being called Withered Island, this dense forest, as far as the eye can see.
"How big is this island?" Leng Feng asked, looking at Withered Vine Island.
Li Qing opened her mouth and did not answer.
Without getting an answer from Li Qing, Leng Feng continued to ask, "How old?"
"I don't know, it's big anyway, and it should take about two hours to walk across the entire island. Li Qing finally said.
Leng Feng raised his eyebrows, this is indeed quite big, but if you use flying, it won't take much time.
"I've heard my mom say that a lot of the people are scattered and there are people living all over the island, but there's a small town in the center of the island that is the most populated part of the island. Li Qing continued.
Leng Feng nodded lightly and said, "Let's go, let's get ready, and then go to the island." ”
After saying that, the cold wind walked into the interior of the yacht.
Li Qing went to ask Zhang Yinghan to get up, and Leng Feng took a shower and changed his clothes.
He wore a pair of black trousers and a black shirt, and stuffed his belongings into his backpack.
After packing up the belongings to bring, Leng Feng put on a hat and a pair of sunglasses.
Li Qing and Zhang Yinghan are also ready to go to the island at any time.
The cold wind turned off the yacht's engine and took away the keys to the yacht.
"Let's go. Leng Feng carried a backpack on his back and took the lead in front.
Li Qing and Zhang Yinghan also carried a backpack and followed behind Leng Feng.
"Li Qing, are you familiar with this island?" Leng Feng asked as he walked and glanced back at Li Qing.
Hearing Leng Feng's question, Li Qing smiled a little awkwardly and replied, "I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with this place." ”
"That's a bit of a hassle. Leng Feng shrugged his shoulders helplessly and walked along the road under his feet.
After leaving the pier, you will be greeted by a dense forest and a forest path.
The three of them walked along this road, after all, all three of them came to this place for the first time.
After walking for about twenty minutes, so far, Leng Feng has not seen a single resident of the area.
"It's so deserted. Zhang Yinghan looked around and said.
"It's only a few o'clock, and no one here should be out of bed. Li Qing said with a smile.
Indeed, it was only 7:15 a.m., and most of the people probably didn't get out of bed.
The trees in the forest are very tall, generally about six meters, and some trees have a lot of fruit on them, but the three of them don't know what kind of fruit it is, so they don't dare to pick it and eat it casually.
There is a forest blocking the sun, which makes the three of them feel a little better, after all, no one wants to rush under the sun.
After walking for about ten minutes, the three of them walked out of the forest, and this time they were greeted by a huge farmland with a path in the middle of it.
The farmland on the left is full of potatoes and the field on the right is full of corn.
The branches of the corn are close to the height of Cold Wind, and Cold Wind has the urge to steal it.
After all, the corn here all looks good.
But Leng Feng just had that thought, and of course he wouldn't do it.
"Wow, the crops here are very good. Zhang Yinghan walked while touching the corn in the farmland.
"My mom said that most of the people here are farming, after all, they have to grow enough food for them. Li Qing said after him.
The three of them continued to walk on the trail, and after walking for five minutes, Leng Feng's right eye flickered, and he noticed that someone was approaching in front of him.
Soon, the cold wind saw the appearance of the person who came.
A small woman, holding a basket, was approaching the three of them.
After seeing the three of Leng Feng, the woman's face showed a look of surprise.
After all, Leng Feng's three people are dressed very fashionably, and the woman's body is wearing a skirt made of coarse cloth.
"Hello. Leng Feng greeted the woman in English.
The woman looked at the three of them dumbfounded, and did not speak for a while.
"Hello, do you speak English?" Leng Feng said again.
After a while, the woman spoke, "May I ask who you are?"
Leng Feng and the three of them glanced at each other, and Leng Feng said, "We are foreign tourists, how do you get to the town here?"
Hearing Fei's answer, the woman's eyes widened, and then she kept glancing at the three of them.
Leng Feng narrowed her eyes, and the woman's reaction was a little strange.
After a while, the woman said, "Just go straight down this road." ”
After speaking, she took the basket and continued to walk forward, ignoring the three of Leng Feng.
"It's so isolated. Leng Feng turned his head to look at the coarse cloth dress worn by the woman, and smiled slightly.
"There are basically no outsiders coming to this place. Li Qing said.
Leng Feng shrugged his shoulders, didn't say anything more, and continued to walk forward.
By this time they had no forest to help shield them from the sun, and the sun shone on the entire island, and sweat appeared on the foreheads of all three of them.
Temperatures in the Maldives are generally around 30 degrees Celsius, but here the temperature is a full 34 degrees Celsius, and this is still morning temperature.
After walking for a long time, the farmland on both sides disappeared and was replaced by a few houses.
The houses are made of wood, and they look quite sturdy.
Some houses have two floors, while others have a simple one.
There are three houses around, all on the left and on the right, and two on the right.
It looks like the house where the islanders live, but it looks a bit desolate.
And the farmland behind should belong to the owners of these houses.
As for the woman just now, she should also be one of the owners of the house.
The three of them did not stay and continued to walk forward.
However, the house made of wood attracted the attention of the cold wind, and although his footsteps did not stop, his eyes stayed on the two-story house.
There was a window on the second floor of the house, and a little girl, standing by the window, looked at the three people who were walking by the cold wind.
Leng Feng's gaze stayed on the little girl's body, and her right eye flickered.
The little girl also wears a dress made of coarse cloth, but her skirt has some floral decorations.
The people here gave Leng Feng a strange feeling, and he felt that the people here were a little weird.
The three of them walked out for a long time, and Leng Feng saw two men, carrying a burlap bag, walking forward.
The speed of the two was very slow, and the three of them could easily catch up with them.
Hearing the footsteps, the two turned their heads, and when they saw the three of them, they all showed surprised expressions.
"Hello, I would like to ask, how far is it from the town. ”
As he spoke, Leng Feng took out a tissue and wiped his sweat.
The three of them desperately need a place to rest, and this place is too hot.
"It's not far ahead. A man pointed ahead and said.
And just as he spoke, the burlap bag suddenly moved.
This sudden situation startled Zhang Yinghan and let out a scream.
Cold Wind squinted, then looked at the burlap bag.
"What's inside?" Leng Feng asked in a deep voice.
"Commemorative supplies. The man spoke.
"Memorial supplies?" Leng Feng was stunned, what the hell is this.
Another man glanced at the three of them and said, "You are outsiders, we are about to hold an annual gathering to pay homage to the god of nature, and when the time comes, we will offer sacrifices and ask the god of nature to bless us." ”
As he spoke, both men had respectful expressions on their faces, and they were saluting the god of nature.
The god of nature in their mouths seems to be very awesome.
Leng Feng was stunned for a moment, he didn't have any interest in the so-called god of nature.
"Thanks, let's go first. ”
After speaking, Leng Feng strode away with the two girls.
The two men looked at each other, then continued to carry the burlap bag with difficulty.
And just after the three of them left, a few drops of scarlet blood dripped from under the burlap bag.
Leng Feng wiped his sweat, then took out two bottles of water from his backpack and handed them to the two girls behind him.
Li Qing and Zhang Yinghan did not refuse, and took the hand handed by Leng Feng.
"It's too hot in this place. The cold wind wiped his sweat and scolded.
Li Qing took a sip of water, gasped and said, "I heard my mother say that the god of nature doesn't care about this place anymore, that's why the temperature is so high, I heard that it wasn't like this before." ”
"What a god of nature, what the hell is this. Leng Feng asked puzzled.
Cold Wind has never been superstitious, he has never believed in Jesus or God.
"The god of nature is the patron saint of this island, and the people of the island make sacrifices every year and pray to the god of nature to bless them. Li Qing said patiently.
"What is the sacrifice?" Zhang Yinghan asked.
Li Qing shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
Leng Feng exhaled and said, "Okay, don't care about what is not God, let's go to the town first, there should be a hotel in the town, let's stay first, and then do other things, and what kind of meeting should be very interesting." ”
After speaking, Leng Feng took the lead in the front.
