Chapter 69: The Light Boat Crossing the Brig
"How is that possible?" The good brother's eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity: "That is the holy medicine of our ancestors since Qin entered the island, and it is rumored that there is no cure, and it is the first of many poisons in the "Poison Sutra". Was it really your antidote? β
"That's why I said that if you stay on this island every day, you will become a domestic animal like them." He smiled and said, "As long as it's a medicine, as long as I know the formula, I can make an antidote." As he spoke, he took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms and said, "Take Huagusan, if you can take this medicine immediately, it will not have any effect except for abdominal pain." If you wait for the first onset of the poison before taking it, then you can only save your life, and your body and appearance will change greatly, if you can't take the antidote at this time, and wait until the poison occurs again, then even this antidote will not help. β
The good buddy's eyes widened, and he was about to reach out to pick up the medicinal powder, but he smiled slightly, took his hand back, put the medicinal powder into his arms again and said: "Although I found the antidote, but a few of the medicinal materials, the output on the island is extremely low, and the medicine needs to be introduced in the late summer and early autumn, which is very cumbersome. β
"Do you really want that?" When the good buddy heard that this poison was actually prepared by his brother, he couldn't help but admire it, but when he thought of what was about to happen, he couldn't help frowning and worried: "There is a vast sea on all sides outside the island, and the ships that entered the island in Qin Shi have long been rotten. If you want to build a ship and go to sea now, you will definitely be discovered. The good buddy was so worried, but he was stunned: "Are you ready?" β
"That's right." He glanced at her and turned to look at his good brother.
In a cave near the sea, he and she held torches in front of them, and he followed behind, walking in this dark cave, at first it was very dark, and he muttered in his heart: "Can you still conjure up a ship?" "Just thinking like this, but suddenly my eyes lit up, and the front suddenly opened up, it turned out that in the depths of this cave, there was a vast world." This is..."The good buddy looked around, and saw a big boat in the water in front of him, dozens of steps long before and after, and behind the big boat, he could see the sunlight shining in from the outside. "Where is this? How can sunlight come in? β
"This is a cave I stumbled upon a few years ago." He looked at the expression of his good buddy, and said with a slight pride: "It's really God who helped me, let me find this ingenious cave, this cave is a prominent piece of terrain on the island that connects to the island soil, and it is difficult for people on the island to find here, I have been secretly collecting wood, hoarding food, and taking time to come here every day, according to the drawings in the ancient books, building ships piece by piece, that is, a few days ago, this big ship was really completed, and I have calculated the direction of the wind, These days are the tailwind, when the time is only in the dead of night, the stars and the moon are not traced, I will take advantage of the night to hang the sail to the sea, as long as out of the near sea, take the tailwind, when the time comes, we will split the waves, they have no boat, then never try to catch up with us," he said excitedly, as if at this moment he had already ridden the cloud sail straight to the clear water, thinking about the outside world to run.
"You've been missing for years. It turned out that he was hiding here to build this big ship. The good brother looked at the big ship and said, "Looking at the size, if you can really get out, then maybe there is really hope to get out of the island alive." β
"That's nature." He laughed, "Do you want to come with me?" β
"Who?" The good buddy was shocked.
"You." He smiled, walked into his good brother, grabbed him by the shoulder, and said: "I don't have any friends on this island, and the only friend I can get along with is you, the people on the island are complacent, comfortable and luxurious, stay here, sooner or later they will become like them, do you want to do this?" Come with us. Outside, there is a land ten million times larger than this island, and countless flowers and plants. Thousands of mysteries are waiting for us to discover, come with us, leave this island and go to the outside world. β
"I..." The good brother looked in a trance, looking at the earnest gaze of the person in front of him, and then at the tall wooden boat in front of him, for a moment he actually felt that he should work with the person in front of him to get rid of this seemingly free but in fact a cage island, but this thought only lasted for a moment, and the reason in his mind made him calm down at once, and warned him repeatedly: This is too crazy.
"No," he broke away from his hand, took two steps back and shook his head, "I was born on this island, and I want to stay here and die here for the rest of my life." You two are so naΓ―ve, you don't know how crazy your ideas are. There are thousands of reefs in the offshore sea outside, and there are sharks in the far sea, even if you are lucky, you don't encounter any of these, but when you get to sea, how do you know where to go? You two are adults and can decide your own destiny, but what about your children? Can you bear to take them on an adventure with you? β
"Is that so?" He looked at the good brother's excited and flustered expression, his eyes couldn't help but darken suddenly, she saw it in her eyes, and she couldn't bear it, so she said: "We don't want to joke with the child's life, so after thinking about it, he and I hope that the child can be entrusted to you to be raised by us. β
"What did you say?" The good brother's eyes widened and he looked at her in front of him. "Let me raise your children?"
"Please." He spoke suddenly, and fell to his knees in front of her.
"Please." She also spoke the same words, knelt the same.
"What are you doing here?" He didn't know what to do all of a sudden, and hurriedly pulled the two people in front of him, but no matter what he said, these two people were just amazing. "Are you forcing me to kneel too?" With a bang, he also fell to his knees, and the three of them looked at each other like this, silent for a moment.
"Alright, alright!" The good buddy finally calmed down, and said as when he quarreled with him before: "From childhood to adulthood, which time didn't I help you?" Anyway, it's the last time, whether you're dead or alive, it's up to you to create it yourself. That's what I promise. Get up, the legs of labor and management are sore. β
"Thank you." He didn't get up, and looked up at his good brother: "You and my brother, but I'm afraid, your kindness to me, she and I will have to repay it in the next life." β
"It's disgusting to feel like life and death." He stood up and turned around and walked towards the outside of the cave: "You can toss as much as you like, just don't die, I'm too lazy to help you collect the body." Having said that, the voice was choked.
"Don't die." The good brother held back his tears and held on, for fear that the two behind him would find out.
