Chapter 3 On the Road
I don't know how long it took, Carmen seemed to have discovered something, stopped what she was doing, and turned her head to look at Locke, who was standing in the doorway looking at her.
His face turned red for no reason, but it disappeared for a long time, and he pretended to be angry and said, "Hmph! Look at it, I've never seen a beautiful woman! β
"That's right! I've never seen it so beautiful! Locke said with a smile on his face.
"......" Hearing Locke's words, Carmen's face had just returned to normal, and all of a sudden it turned red, and even more amazing was that there was smoke coming out of her head.
"That's... Thatβ" Carmen tugged at the corner of her clothes and didn't know what to say.
"That's it! All right! I won't tease you! Looking at Carmen's shy appearance, Locke quickly interrupted. Otherwise, Locke was really worried that she would accidentally burn out her brain.
After saying that, Locke took Carmen's little hand and walked towards the living room. As he walked, Locke turned back to Carmen, who was peeking at her behind him, and showed a good-looking smile.
Looking at Locke, Carmen's head was lowered.
But fortunately, the road to the living room was not very long, otherwise Locke was absolutely sure that Carmen in this general state would go straight to a crack in the ground.
When they came to the living room, the two sat facing each other.
"Carmen, I have something to tell you!"
"What... What's the matter? β
"I'm leaving this island tomorrow and going to another island to learn kendo!"
"Leave? No way! You're gone... I... How am I..."
"Okay, don't do this yet, you listen to me!"
When Carmen heard Locke's words, she looked at Locke with a face full of grievances, as if she was saying, if you want to say something bad, I will cry to you.
"Listen to me, I called you here, and I want to ask if you want to go with me!"
"Go! Of course, don't you want to leave me alone, you promised me yourself to help me become the best chef in the world! Hearing Locke's question, Carmen replied without thinking.
"That's okay, you go and pack up your salute, and I'll leave tomorrow morning." Locke saw Carmen agree, and said directly.
So Carmen jumped up and down to her room, as if the aggrieved expression on her face just now pretended to be true.
"Little fool, how can I leave you alone if I want to leave!" Looking at the back of Carmen leaving, Locke whispered.
After telling Carmen about leaving, Locke, as usual, went straight to the beach and began to practice the knife swinging he had practiced for a long time.
......
The sun rises and sets, and soon the day passes.
In the early morning of the second day, when the curtains were blown open with a breeze of the ocean, the sunlight shone through the gap in Locke's bedroom, and the black-haired boy who was wearing it finally opened his eyes in a daze and woke up.
After washing, Locke changed into a windbreaker, embroidered with some dragon-shaped patterns, this dress was designed by Locke himself, and then asked the tailor on the island to customize it for himself, which is also a little memory of Locke's previous life.
took a Tang knife with a blade about one meter long next to the bed, and left the bedroom directly, walking towards the hall downstairs, and when he came to the hall, Carmen was already waiting in the hall.
"Let's go! I'm leaving! β
When he took the clothes that the old butler had packed for him yesterday, he said to Carmen.
Carmen nodded, and followed Locke's steps with her salute as she walked out of the house.
Walking to the door, he slowly pushed open the door, and the rising sun suddenly rushed to their faces, sprinkled on them.
As far as the eye can see, a thin haze is like green smoke, enveloping the entire sea area near Crispie Island, making the whole island look like the mythical and legendary Penglai Immortal Island, like a dream.
"Let's go!" Carmen, who was standing behind Locke, looked at Locke in front of him, and said aloud.
Hearing Carmen's words, Locke came to his senses, turned back to Carmen and nodded, and walked towards the town's docks.
......
Walking slowly along the road, after about six or seven minutes, Locke and the others had already arrived in the town, and the people in the town had already gotten up and started a new day's work. Watching Locke walk by, he would also nod at Locke and show a gentle smile.
Walking through the town, after walking for two minutes, a small pier appeared in front of Locke and the two.
This pier is the only one on the island, and there are some small fishing boats parked on the pier, and the big ones are nowhere to be seen, and Locke is going to take a large merchant ship.
The island was so remote that even a big boat couldn't stop, so Locke and Carmen had to take a fishing boat to the surface where the big boat was staying. to catch the merchant ship of Frost Moon Village.
As usual, the harbor was almost empty, with only a few people on the few fishing boats, one of which was dressed in a man who was beckoning Locke and motioning for them to come over.
"Uncle Tie is you!" When Locke walked over with Carmen, Cai saw clearly and beckoned to them that he was the only blacksmith in the town, Uncle Tie Yi Tie, and that the Tang knife on his body was made by him.
"Young Master Locke, you're welcome! Come! Come! Come! Sit down. When Locke and Carmen got on the boat, Uncle Iron hurriedly arranged for the two to sit down.
When the two of them were seated, Uncle Tie directly rowed the oars and headed towards the sea in the distance.
Locke looked back at the island that was getting farther and farther away from him, and there was a hint of sadness for no reason. I don't know when I'll be able to return to this place, all the properties on the island have been given to the old butler by Locke.
At this time, as if he saw Locke's emotion, Carmen, who was sitting next to him, patted Locke's shoulder and comforted him.
"Okay, I'm fine! We will be back in the future! Locke withdrew his gaze and turned to Carmen next to him.
I don't know if this was for Carmen or for himself.
But Carmen nodded in response.
The small fishing boat didn't travel long before he saw a merchant ship in front of him quietly parked on the sea, a huge ship more than ten meters high, just parked there quietly, like a deep-sea beast napping.
On the mast, the sails have been folded, and only a red Chamber of Commerce flag remains, fluttering high in the wind at the top!
At this time, a middle-aged fat man on the deck of the merchant ship wearing a suit, with a face of Chinese characters, and two mustaches on his mouth, saw the fishing boat slowly coming towards him, and hurriedly waved his hand to the sailor door behind him, asking them to lower the rope so that Locke and them could go up.
"Hah! Ha! Ha... Little Locke! I haven't seen you for a few years, but it's all grown like this! Quick, come over and let my uncle take a good look. β
