Chapter 2: Desert Island
Time can always make people forget a lot of things.
The past, feelings, dreams, every time I close my eyes in the summer and want to reminisce, I find that they have long been incomplete.
If it weren't for the mark on his arm, Summer would have forgotten that he was a time-traveler.
The black mark, the size of a fingernail, is a bit like a black leaf, and like the fangs of the devil, always reminding the summer that he only has eighteen years to live.
And now, there are only five years left.
The sea is blue.
On the dilapidated boat, the boy rolled up his trouser legs and sleeves, held a harpoon in his hand, and stared intently at the movement in the sea.
"Poof"
The sharp harpoon stabbed into the water, and was skillfully provoked by the summer, bringing up a fat big fish.
I had good luck today.
Although this sea is large, there are strangely few fish, and sometimes you can get one without seeing it in a day.
"Xiaotian, tell me the story called Liaozhai again, what happened to that Nie Xiaoqian in the end?"
At the stern of the boat, a girl hugged her knees, very bored, her delicate chin slammed into her knees, and her eyes stared at summer.
She was gorgeously dressed, and the jewelry on her head was even more dazzling, which was incompatible with the dilapidated boat and the thin summer clothes.
"Dead, slapped to death by the old demon of Montenegro. β
In the summer, he didn't look back, squatted down, and put the fish in the basket.
"Why are you dead again?" the girl was a little angry and dissatisfied, "can't you make up a better ending?"
"The world is so dangerous, I want to live...... How can it be that simple?"
Summer stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked to the end of the sea, where the black mist rose to the sky.
Black Sea.
A dangerous and strange place, the longer you come to the desert island, the more you can feel its horror in summer.
It is the Sea of Death, which has been completely isolated from the outside world since the Mutation occurred thirteen years ago, and since then, no one has survived the Black Sea.
"If only I could see the outside world......"
The girl also looked in the direction of the Black Sea, and there was a trace of sadness in her eyes, and it was clear that she was eager to get out of the desert island.
Unfortunately, the Black Sea had already changed before she was born.
And in the summer, it was even more unfortunate that before the Black Sea mutation, he was brought into the desert island by a fisherman, and took root in a village not far from the sea on the desert island, and stayed for thirteen years.
After the Black Sea change, the desert island has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
The treasure island, which was originally rich in natural resources, has become a desert island with barren land, and even the fish in the sea have become extremely rare.
The famous dynasty on the desert island, which was originally a powerful country rich in resources, has now exhausted its national strength in order to maintain the vitality of the desert island and prevent everyone from starving to death, and now it is also crumbling.
A few years ago, the famous dynasty could still select talented children on the desert island through elections to cultivate, but now, the desert island has no aura, resulting in no one being able to awaken the Dao spirit, so this system has been abolished.
I heard that the famous king has nothing to do, as long as he has not awakened the Dao Spirit before the mutation, even the children of the royal family cannot practice.
As a result, I don't know that cultivation is a thing until now......
"Hey, Lin'er, you bring so many guards when you go out every day, are you afraid that someone will harm you?"
Summer looked at the several ships parked around his small boat, and his face was helpless, and those boats were all guards wearing battle armor and holding sharp blades, always vigilant and vigilant.
"I'm annoyed too. The girl is very innocent, "They only obey my father's command, and they will follow me in life or death." β
Daughter of a famous king......
Summer swallowed, before, he thought that this little girl was just the daughter of a prince of the Ming Dynasty, but he never thought that she was actually the princess of the Ming Dynasty.
Shangguan Lin, met Summer by chance, and after listening to Summer tell a story called White Snake, he came to listen to Summer tell stories every once in a while.
The desert island is too small, and there are too many dangerous places, even the daughter of a famous king has nowhere to play.
"Xiaotian, I may be leaving. At the stern of the boat, the girl hugged her knees and murmured, "I heard the queen mother say that there will be a catastrophe on the desert island, and you must leave quickly." β
"What catastrophe?" asked Summer, who tensed up and hurriedly followed.
"I don't know, it must be a terrible catastrophe anyway, and now the entire government and the opposition are in turmoil because of this matter, and my father has been discussing with the minister all day about leaving the desert island. β
"Found a way to cross the Black Sea?"
"No, don't cross the Black Sea, find another way to leave. β
"By what way?"
"It's ......"
Shangguan Lin wanted to speak and stopped, and finally turned his head to the side and closed his mouth tightly.
Summer hesitated for a moment and didn't ask any more questions, knowing that someone must have told her not to tell her about it.
Shangguan Lin was able to tell Xia that a catastrophe was about to come on the desert island, and Xia was already very grateful, at least he could bring the news back to Xinghua Village and let the villagers start to store food.
"Don't worry, Xiaotian, if you can really leave the desert island, my father will definitely take everyone on the desert island out. Shangguan Lin said seriously.
Summer smiled and didn't speak, the little girl's idea was good, but in the end, it was still too naΓ―ve.
If you can really bring everyone with you, the court will not deliberately hide the news, and if you hide the news, it means that only a few people can leave.
A gust of sea breeze blows, and the calm sea ripples, which also makes the summer feel a little chilly, looking at the sunset on the horizon, the summer shakes the oars, it's time to go back.
"Look! What ...... that?"
Shangguan Lin, who was sitting at the stern of the boat, suddenly exclaimed, and when Xia looked in the direction she pointed, her hair suddenly stood on end.
Not far away, a behemoth suddenly broke through the water, like a python, but with horns on its head, like a legendary dragon, rushing towards this side.
"Protect the princess!"
The guards drew their swords in unison and leaned the boats together in a straight line in front of the dilapidated summer boats.
"You can't stay here for a long time, you quickly take the princess ashore!"
One of the generals shouted at Summer, who came to his senses, hurriedly rowed his oars, and leaned towards the shore.
Faintly, I felt very wrong in the summer.
This sea area is often in and out in summer, and there are basically not even a few fish, why did a giant python suddenly appear?
But there's no time to think about it now, anyway, let's talk about it first!
"Shhhh
The hoarse roar of the giant beast came from behind her, and Summer glanced back, and suddenly got goosebumps.
I saw that the giant python was swallowing one of the guards in one gulp, and the huge snake body was hanging and swaying in the air, opening its bloody mouth to spit out a ball of flesh and blood......
"Wow-"
Shangguan Lin spit it out, his face became extremely pale, and his small body trembled.
Summer resisted the desire to vomit, gritted her teeth and rowed desperately the oars, and after a while, the broken boat finally docked.
"Let's go, get ashore!"
Summer pulled Shangguan Lin to jump ashore, and when he looked back, there were the corpses of the guards floating on the sea, and the rest were seriously injured, but they were still dying and resisting.
At sea, those guards are no match for Monty Python at all.
Shangguan Lin's face was pale, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help crying.
"It's over, they won't live. Summer felt a chill down her spine, grabbed Shangguan Lin's hand tightly, and said, "Let's go quickly, it's not safe here." β
"Where are we going?"
A cold voice sounded behind Summer, and Summer turned back in horror, only to see a man with a sneer on his face, looking at him mockingly.
At this moment, Summer only felt cold all over.
It's a conspiracy......
Let the python entangle the guards first, and then ambush on the shore, waiting for the prey to take the bait, and kidnapping the princess is their goal!
Without any hesitation, Summer picked up the harpoon and stabbed the man.
I only saw the figure in front of me flickering, and then, there was a sharp pain in my neck, and my consciousness became blurred.
"Little God!"
Shangguan Lin's frightened shouts sounded, and Summer's body slowly fell to the ground and passed out.
