Chapter 8: The Island of Life
The map is very well drawn, probably because of the age, and is a bit blurry in places. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This map depicts an island overseas, and according to the reference on the map, it is at least 10,000 miles away from the Elven Forest to this island. If you follow the map, it will take at least half a year to reach the island. Such a distance is generally only passed by those who love adventure, and ordinary people do not consider it at all. But this map allows the fluctuations of the hobby to travel, of course, you have to study it to see if it is worth it.
"You see, the animals and plants on this island are described on this map as peculiar, full of vigorous life, and live longer than anywhere else. When I'm free that day, I'd like to go over and have a look. Fluctuation pointed to the map and sighed.
"Is there really such a strange place? This baby also wants to go over and have a look. Xiao Mengxin put her head in front of the map, and almost touched the map. With its ability, it simply can't read the lines.
Seeing that Xiao Mengxin was blocking the map, Flute hurriedly pulled Xiao Mengxin aside, and then picked up the map and looked at it carefully.
"If you want to go to this island, it's a bit difficult, not to mention the distance, this map is also marked that you can only see this island at a certain time. Even if you see it, it's hard to enter, and the island is surrounded by unknown dangers, so it's impossible to get close to it. Fluctuation pointed to the swirling lines on the map and said, there are some vague handwriting introductions at the bottom of the map, which is not very clear.
"Oh haha, it's not easy, when the time comes, you just plug in your wings and fly over?" Xiao Mengxin said smartly.
Fluctuation glanced at Xiao Mengxin, and then said: "It's not that simple, it's marked above, and the danger in the sky is even greater, because the surroundings of this island are full of tornadoes, and you can't fly over it at all." ”
After Xiao Mengxin heard the fluctuation, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, this baby hasn't seen the final fate of the sect leader yet, and this baby still wants to live a few more years." ”
"I've put this map away, are you okay?" Fluctuation asked everyone, and without waiting for everyone to answer, he directly folded the map carefully and put it in the pocket of his jacket.
Wu Shen saw the fluctuation and directly put away the map, and snorted, "What other opinions do we have, you have put it away, do you still have to take it out of your pocket?" ”
Fluctuation glared at Wu Shen and said: "Sinner, you don't say a few words, no one is dumb, I have been deceived by you to come here, and I have taken such a big risk, I am interested in this map, so it should be regarded as a reward for me." ”
Wu Shen waved his hand at Bo Shou, a little weak. "Okay, just if I didn't say it." Anyway, he didn't want to go overseas exploring, and even if the map was given to him, he wouldn't ask for it.
"What map, what map are Fluctuations interested in?" Di Mei walked out of the kitchen with the dried meat that had just come out of the pot.
"Oh haha, it's fried so quickly, just now I sorted out the things in the bag, and Flucy found a map, and Flute was interested, so I gave it to him." Xiao Mengxin said to Di Mei.
After Di Mei put the dishes away, Wai Ming stuck his head over, and smelled the fragrance, which made it a little intoxicated. "It's so fragrant, I can't wait."
"Look at your gluttony, wait a minute, you can't be missing, what's the hurry." Di Mei looked at the way she was about to drool, and said with a smile on her face.
After Di Mei finished speaking, he didn't care about the map, and walked to the kitchen to continue serving the food to the living room.
After the dishes were ready, Xuanxuan also walked out of the kitchen, wiping the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief in her hand. It seems that frying the dishes on this table has tired her.
"Xuanxuan, you're not tired, I'm really sorry, in order to make me feast, I'm really tired of you." Wai Ming said apologetic words to Xuan Xuan, who had just come out of the kitchen.
Xuanxuan waved her hand at Mingming, and then said, "It's okay, since we are friends, don't talk nonsense, just let go of your stomach and eat later." ”
"Sinner, do you have any wine in your bag? Take it out and share it with everyone. When everyone was ready to eat, Xiao Mengxin patted Wu Shen on the shoulder and asked.
Wu stretched out his eyes and stammered: "No, no, just those bottles last night, there are no more." ”
"I know you must have it in your bag, and since you treat me as a friend, you should take it out and share it with everyone." Looking at Wu Shen's expression, he knew that he still had wine hidden in his bag.
Wu Shen sighed, knowing that it would not work without taking out the last inventory, so he endured the pain and took a few more bottles of wine from his bag to share with everyone.
Everyone chatted while eating, and the topic returned to the map just now. Xuanxuan was curious, because she wanted to see if there was any resemblance between this map and the one she had seen back then. Then Xuanxuan said to Fluctuation: "Brother Fluctuation, can you show me the map just now?" ”
Xuanxuan's parents have been at sea for many years, and there has been no news yet, so when Xuanxuan heard that this map was a navigation map of overseas islands, she wanted to see it. Before her parents left, she saw a map that her father had placed on his desk, and he told her that the place she was going was the island on the map. After many years, she still has a great impression of the map her father showed her.
Fluctuation took out the map, handed it to Xuanxuan, and then continued to drink with everyone. After Xuanxuan took the map, she took it in front of her and looked at it carefully.
After a while, Xuanxuan said with a little excitement in surprise: "This map looks a little familiar to me, and there are many similarities with the map I saw back then. ”
After hearing Xuanxuan's excited voice, they all looked at Xuanxuan. Fluctuation asked, "Could it be that Xuanxuan have seen similar maps before?" ”
Xuanxuan thought for a moment, and then said: "Yes, my parents went to sea to hunt for treasure on the order of the national teacher, and before leaving, I saw the map that my father took out, the map was paper, and the handwriting and route on it were much clearer than this. I now suspect that the island on this map is the island of life that my parents are going to. ”
Hearing Xuanxuan say that the place referred to on this map was the Island of Life, they were all surprised. Because this island is just a legend, no one has ever found it, and it is said that the god of life once lived on this island a long time ago, hence the name of this island. The flora and fauna of the island are full of life because of the blessing of the god of life, and the island is like spring all year round.
"Xuanxuan, you show me the map, and I'll confirm if it's the Island of Life." When he was studying the map just now, he didn't think about it at all, and he had heard of the Island of Life, so he wanted to follow the tracing technique in his mind to verify whether the island referred to on the map was the Island of Life.
Fluctuation took the map, then looked at it carefully, and finally saw a blurry handwriting on the edge of the island where it was drawn, writing: What is the island of life. In the fluctuating heart, it was finally determined that the island referred to on this map was the island of life.
"It's really the island of life, you can see the handwriting on this map, although it is a little blurry, but you can also recognize it." Fluctuation pointed to the blurred handwriting on the map and said excitedly to everyone.
"That's great, when I grow up, I'm going to go to the Island of Life and see if I can find my parents." Xuanxuan said excitedly.
"Okay, I'll go with you then." Fluctuation said with a smile.
Fluctuation took the map and just wanted to put it in his pocket, but he didn't feel good, so he took it out again and handed it to Xuanxuan.
Xuanxuan looked at the map handed over, and didn't reach out to pick it up, "Brother Fluctuation, anyway, when the time comes, we will go together, so you can keep the map." ”
Fluctuation put the map in his pocket, and then said: "I'll draw a copy of the map for you to keep after eating, so it's safer, I'm afraid I'll lose it." ”
After dinner, Fluctuation drew a map to Xuanxuan, and Xuanxuan fell asleep holding the map. She had a happy smile on her face in her sleep, because in her dream she sailed the big ship to the island of life, met her parents who had been separated for many years, and the family was reunited.
