Chapter 491: God's Forsaken Land
"How is that possible? Even if I don't know how much water is rare in your place, it won't surprise you so much, right? Also, what do you mean by the inner city?"
Li Xiaoying looked at Yang Fan's eyes seriously, and found that Yang Fan had no intention of lying at all, and said with an unbelievable face: "It seems that you are really a strange person who is rare in a century."
Li Xiaoying cleared her throat, looked at Yang Fan solemnly and said, "Okay, I'll tell you everything I know about this island, so that you can know how difficult it is to come up with someone like you."
"First of all, I only knew that this island was called Lonely Spirit Island, and my father told me that the people on this island had never left this island for generations, and it was impossible for them to leave, and I asked my father why, and I only remembered that my father was standing here, and he stretched out his finger and pointed to the sea in front of him and said that it was because of this ocean, and that is why it was impossible for the people of our island to leave for generations."
Yang Fan couldn't help the doubts in his heart, and asked: "Impossible, even if this sea is so vast, but I see that your shipbuilding skills are quite skillful, and there should always be one or two people who sail away from this island and enter another continent for generations."
Li Xiaoying shook her head and said: "No, it's far from being as simple as you think, I thought the same as you at the time, but all this was just my thoughts, and then such a person did emerge, he was the most capable person on our island who went to sea, whether it was proficient in water or in shipbuilding technology, he was far beyond everyone at that time."
Moreover, he also had the same desire to sail out of this island, and he also longed for another fantasy continent beyond this island, but all this changed completely ten years ago. ”
Yang Fan couldn't help but speak on the side again, "Ten years ago?"
Li Xiaoying glanced at Yang Fan, "What are you anxious about, listen to me tell you slowly!"
Yang Fan scratched his head with an embarrassed expression, "Miss Li, you go on, I promise not to intervene." ”
"Ten years ago, the man overcame all the unsupport of him, went to sea alone, built the strongest ship of the time, took up enough food reserves, and sailed alone, but only five days later.
And then the most unexpected thing happened. ”
Yang Fan was completely attracted by the story, and asked involuntarily: "What, could it be that person has encountered something terrifying?"
Li Xiaoying shook her head and said: "If it's so simple, it's good, at least know what is blocking the way, five days later, the man returned to the island with a blank face."
But after coming back, he didn't say a word, and he was confused and panicked when others said anything about him, and he didn't have the first high spirits for a long time, and after three days, he hurriedly brought enough dry food, didn't say hello to anyone, and set out on the voyage alone.
However, five days later, the man returned, and when he came back, no one knew what this man had experienced during the ten days of the voyage, and I just remember that the man had returned to the island in despair, with tears on his face, but he did laugh, but he laughed quite miserably, and that despair spread through his whole being.
Later, more than half a month later, I saw him on the beach, and I heard him babbling to himself, saying that we are a cursed generation, and that the whole island is a plaything to be played on a chessboard, and that this island has been the biggest hoax for thousands of years.
And then I watched the man jump into the sea, and you can't imagine that a man so well versed in the water could not struggle at all, it was like a stone sinking into the water, at most it was just a little splash and there was no wave, and he sank into the ocean that cared for and nurtured us but seemed so unforgiving at that time.
I, like a piece of wood, was completely stunned by this scene, and I didn't even know at the time that it was a living life passing before my eyes, and since then I have no illusions of anything beyond this island. ”
Yang Fan pondered for a long time and hesitated and said: "It seems a bit rude to say this, but, in my opinion, that person's two voyages to the sea did not bring any useful information to this island, on the contrary, it seems that there is only a deeper level of wordless fear outside this island."
Li Xiaoying blinked, "You think the same way, I didn't know when I was a child, but when I grew up, I felt the same way, I felt that he was not a responsible person at all, sometimes I even thought he was a coward, but sometimes I thought, after all, I haven't experienced everything he has experienced, what qualifications do I have to laugh at a person who dares to take practical action for his dreams?"
After saying this, Li Xiaoying quietly looked at the sea in front of her, which looked even more holy under the reflection of the bright moon in the sky, as if the stars in the sky had fallen to the sea. After waiting for a long time without waiting for Yang Fan to respond, Li Xiaoying turned her head and found that Yang Fan was looking at her blankly.
Then Li Xiaoying stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Yang Fan's face, "What, there are flowers on my face?"
Yang Fancong recovered from his sluggishness, was silent for a moment and said, "No, I just think, Miss Li, you ...... It's really ...... It's so gentle. ”
Li Xiaoying covered her mouth and chuckled, "I said Yang Fan, your way of chatting with the girl like this is too old-fashioned, right?"
Yang Fan, who was extremely nervous, was not panicked at all at this time, so he calmly looked at Li Xiaoying's eyes and said: "No, I said seriously, you made me feel the tenderness that I have not seen for a long time, if you think I am frivolous, frivolous will be frivolous, and it will not prevent me from thinking so."
Li Xiaoying, who has always been arrogant, looked a little cramped at this time, "...... Say whatever you want. ”
Yang Fan smiled and didn't speak, and said after a while of silence: "Then, what about later, no one dared to try it because of this matter?"
Li Xiaoying raised her eyebrows, "Why not, there are still some people who don't accept their fate." ”
They got almost the same answer as the man, but after all, they didn't want to go to sea alone like the man, and when they came back, they were mostly disappointed in the island, no, as if they were disappointed in their whole lives, and they even felt that they were born into this place as sinful people abandoned by God.
The word of mouth was quite unanimous, and everyone said that the island was an island, isolated from the world, abandoned by the gods.
