Chapter Fifty-Four: The Land of Peach Springs

? This fishing village is small.

Just like Ding Huo saw, there are more than a dozen families, so this fishing village alone has no name.

However, all the dozen or so islands combined, have a resounding name, called Taoyuan Country.

The reason why it has such a name is because these islands are rich in all kinds of fruits, the most sweet and delicious of which is a kind of golden peach, which Ding Huo tasted and was indeed very delicious.

The country of Taoyuan is rich in a large number of fruits, and once the fruit is ripe, the fruit that no one picks will automatically roll off the branches and fall into the sea, extending a warm current to form a beautiful river of fruits.

This is what attracted Totoro to come to Taoyuan Country with Ding Huo.

Don't look at the fishing village where Ding Huo is located, it is too small to talk about, but the entire Taoyuan country is also equipped with various facilities, including a palace, a market, a medical hall, and even a small academy, in which there are even fighter subjects, which can enlighten warriors with Force talents.

It's on the big island in the very center.

Char really wanted to become a cadet of the Fighter Academy, so that she could leave the country of Taoyuan and explore the boundless sea, or see the entire huge landmass.

The reason why Ding Huo knew so clearly was, of course, because Char was chattering in his ears all day long.

Since being picked up by Lao Xia and taken home, Ding Huo has been lying here for three days, and in the three days, Ding Huo has used the Yuan Yuan battle body to recover from his injuries while 'exciting' the Force Crystal.

Although it is dual-purpose, it is like a snowball, not as difficult as at the beginning, Ding Huo has 'excited' three Force Crystals, and now the six Force Crystals are running in parallel, and the recovery of injuries on the surface of the body is getting faster and faster.

However, inside the body, those meridians that had broken into broken spider webs, as well as the five internal organs that had been completely shattered by the Devil May Cry Spear and the White-level Floating Slaughter, still needed a long recovery period.

In any case, in three days, Ding Huo seemed to be recovering very well on the surface, Char was very amazed at the function of his 'medicated' ointment, and praised Ding Huo as a rubber fish that could not be killed, Ding Huo didn't know if this was a compliment.

On the fourth day, Ding Huo was tired of lying in the wooden house, so he was helped by Char to go outside to bask in the sun.

"Char, which direction is the Nanban Continent in?" Ding Huo asked Char as he sat on a wooden chair by the dock.

"Over there. Char pointed in one direction, right across the dock.

Looking over there, in addition to the seawater, there is also a golden bird, flying around on the surface of the sea.

"From here, how long does it take to reach the Peace Port of the Nanban Continent?" Ding Huo asked again.

"Need ...... It's been a long time, a long time. Char opened her arms and 'straightened' her not strong 'chest', indicating that it would take a long, long time.

"How long is that?" Ding Huo asked carefully, this is related to the fighters of the Floating Island, how long will it take to catch up, they must ask clearly.

Char's delicate face with a little freckles showed a dissatisfied expression, "How do I know, I'm only sixteen years old, and I haven't been to the legendary Port of Nations yet!"

...... I didn't know about it.

Ding Huo shook his head.

"What, do you look down on me who is as beautiful as a 'flower'?" Char ran over and asked Ding Huo, "I will become a traveler who travels all the land and sea in the future!"

"Oh, I believe, come on. Ding Huo replied insincerely.

"Hey, you're mad at me!" Char waved her small fist, but with her height of less than 1.60 meters, there was no threat to Ding Huo, who was more than 20 centimeters tall.

"Uncle Xia is back. Ding Huo said suddenly.

Belch?

Char was immediately diverted and looked out to sea, and sure enough, just as the sun was setting, a fishing boat was slowly sailing back to the port.

"Daddy, Daddy!"

Char ran to the port to pick up her father, and the long whip fell on her, looking full of energy.

Lao Xia jumped on the dock, patted Char's head, and then walked home, obviously there was no gain, in the three days that Ding Huo came, Lao Xia returned empty-handed, it seems that it is because of the season, not the fishing period.

"Daddy just now Xiao Tie asked me how far I was from here to Heping Port, and he also laughed at me for being an ignorant young 'girl' with no knowledge, no culture, no ideals, and no revenge. "Char put her arm around Lao Xia and didn't mention any topics related to fishing, she was actually a very sensible 'girl' child.

"From here to Heping Harbor, it's too far for ordinary ships to reach it, on the big island, every three months there will be a fleet of the Shang Alliance to transport goods, you have to take that fleet, there will be about another month, it will come." Lao Xia said.

"Shang Meng?" Ding Huo realized that he was referring to the seven 'colors' and 'flowers', as well as Pari.

Where the power of the floating island is not reached, the Shang Alliance can reach, and it seems that the Shang Alliance is the organization with the widest range of influence on the Nanban Continent.

Then, Lao Xia walked in front, Xia Ya helped Ding Huo, went back together, and prepared to have dinner, because Lao Xia's income has been zero recently, so dinner is basically salted fish, and fruits that don't cost money.

"Little Iron. Char suddenly patted Ding Huo's shoulder solemnly, she needed to stand on tiptoe to do this action, "We're friends." ”

How?

After three days of getting along, Ding Huo already knew that Char's little head was full of colorful ghost ideas.

"When you take the ship of the Merchant Alliance, and when you go back to Heping Harbor, take me with you......" Char whispered.

Belch?

Ding Huo was a little strange: "Isn't your dream to enter the Fighter Academy and become a fighter?"

"When ideals and freedom meet, of course I will choose freedom. Char's face is poetic.

"No, I can't. Ding Huo shook his head.

"Xiao Tie!" Char held Ding Huo's arm, jumping and coquettish.

"Hey, my wound isn't healed yet, eh, it's bleeding again. Ding Huo sighed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Char cried out in panic.

"Char, what are you messing around with again, go home quickly!" Lao Xia greeted in front.

"Alright, alright. Char replied in a voice like a silver bell.

At night.

Ding Huo and Lao Xia slept in the same room, Ding Huo was injured, sleeping on the 'bed', Lao Xia slept on the ground, in the middle of the night, Ding Huo heard Lao Xia tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and finally simply went outside to sigh sadly.

In Char's mouth, Ding Huo heard something about the family's plight.

Like the Seven Kingdoms of the Southern Barbarians, the small Taoyuan Country, all the citizens also need to 'pay' taxes, but Lao Xia's income is not very good in the whole month, and the fish he catches can't make up for the tax of eight silver coins per fishing boat per month.

If they can't pay the tax, the fishing boat will be towed away, so Lao Xia and Char will have no source of livelihood at all.

So, Lao Xia was sighing.

Ding Huo thought about it, what could he do to help Lao Xia.

The gold ring and armillary sphere are not around, and the huge amount of tens of millions of gold coins cannot quench the thirst of the near water, and now that Ding Huo has not recovered from his serious injuries, he can't do anything.

My Neighbor Totoro.

Ding Huo remembered that he still had an armored beast.

Although the armor beast is separated from the fighter after the legendary level, it still maintains a psychic connection and can still merge into one.

Lao Xia went out and sighed for a while, then returned to the room and fell asleep.

Ding Huo slowly got up, walked out of the house, came to the dock, and began to call Totoro.

Wow.

The water 'flowers' rolled.

The slender and elegant Totoro appeared in front of Ding Huo.

It seems that I haven't seen Ding Huo for a few days, and I miss it very much, and the big dragon head comes over and pouts on Ding Huo's face.

"Don't make a fuss, in this way, you go and get some fish, the bigger the better, well, tomorrow you will secretly hang the fish on Lao Xia's net, so that he thinks he caught it......"

Ding Huo commanded.

So Totoro looked like a beautiful body like a 'jade' stone under the moon's 'color', and quietly slid into the water.

The next morning, Lao Xia sighed and went fishing, and it was the day when the tax collector came to collect taxes, and if there was no harvest today, his fishing boat would not be able to be saved.

Ding Huo now likes to bask in the sun on the pier.

These few days are the only few days of leisure time after Ding Huo has a memory, and he doesn't have to worry about being exposed, he doesn't have to chase a goal that must be achieved, and he doesn't have a sense of crisis.

And this is the lifelong lifestyle of Lao Xia and Char, as well as the residents of the entire fishing village, if Ding Huo was born in such a fishing village, he would probably be the same as them...... , No, Ding Huo shook his head, his restlessness was in every cell of his body.

Even if Ding Huo had a memory, he was not in a cruel bloody arena, but was born in such a quiet small fishing village, Ding Huo would choose to leave and embark on the road of the strong, which is the 'sex' personality rooted in Ding Huo's bones and cannot be changed.

"Hey. Char shook his hand in front of Ding Huo, "When you think about things, your eyes are very mysterious, you really look like a nobleman, aren't you really a descendant of the royal family?"

Scold...... , Ding Huo patted Char's head.

"You've only seen nobles, haven't you? But there are fighters, alchemists, merchants, scholars, naturalists, kings, princesses...... , many people and things, may not be able to see it in a hundred years. Ding Huo said.

"Ha, I want to see it!" Char said immediately, and then begged Ding Huo: "Take me with you when you leave!"

Ding Huo felt that this topic was not suitable to talk about, otherwise his wound would burst again, so he pointed to the port and said, "Your father is back, he seems to have a big harvest today!"

"Really?" Char immediately ran to the edge of the dock, and saw that her father's small fishing boat had a big fish tied up, and it was bigger than the fishing boat!

With such a big fish, you must be able to sell enough for eight silver coins, or even more, so that you don't have to worry about taxes, and you can even buy a little new clothes!

"Wow, Daddy, you're so amazing!"

When Lao Xia jumped from the fishing boat to the dock, Char jumped up violently and pounced on Lao Xia, Lao Xia laughed, took the 'girl', and lifted the 'girl' high, the light of the setting sun solidified this moment in Ding Huo's memory, and will never forget. ~
