Chapter 41, Falling Star Island
Early in the morning of the second day, Shen Ruoyu sent Yang Zhao to the port of going to sea, but compared with the dock next to him that went deep into the water, this side was a high platform of about ten meters.
On top of the high platform lay five or six small rectangular wooden houses with a long metal pipe running across them.
There were two tables on the side of the high platform, and two big men sat in the back to collect the tickets.
Yang Zhao would forget about the busy dock next to him and asked puzzledly.
"Master, shouldn't you take a boat when you go to sea?"
"There are reefs near Falling Star Island, and ships can't get to shore over there. If you want to go up, you can only go up from the air. ”
Shen Ruoyu pointed at the two big men and said, "Buy a ticket and go."
Yang Zhao went over to line up and ask for the price.
"Go to Falling Star Island for three taels of silver per person." One of the big men replied.
This ticket is so expensive! Yang Zhao complained in his heart, and obediently paid the money.
Dahan gave her a wooden sign with five bars and ten bars. "You're in a five-seater."
There are a lot of people who go to Falling Star Island today, there are people who are in pairs, and there are also a few lone wolves like Yang Zhao.
Dahan sold out all the tickets in his hand, stood up and shouted loudly: "Those who have tickets hurry up and go in and sit down according to the ticket number, those who don't buy tickets hide under the high platform, Xuanpeng Bird is coming, you can't keep people on it, hurry up!" ”
Those who have tickets obediently walked in and did it according to the number, and those who didn't have tickets also got off the high platform.
Yang Zhao said goodbye to Shen Ruoyu and walked into the No. 5 wing.
There is no decoration in it, only the whole house is painted with a magic circle, and there are two rows of fixed seats, seven in each row, which can seat 14 people.
She found a place to sit down, and when everyone in the wing room was full, the door of the wing room closed automatically.
Yang Zhao sat there quietly, listening to the chatter of the people in the carriage.
"Where is this Xuanpeng bird? How can I not see? ”
"The Xuanpeng birds all stopped on a nearby cliff, and every departure took off from there."
"Yikes! You see, the Xuanpeng Bird is here! ”
I saw a few big birds flying in the sky one after another, and as the distance got closer, the faces of these big birds became clearer and clearer.
It has grayish-white feathers on its belly and blue-black on its back, and it has no distinguishing features other than its larger size.
As the huge figure pressed against the heads of the crowd, she saw the sharp talons covered with golden scales.
Yang Zhao only felt that his body was heavy, and then flew up with the house.
The house flew higher and higher with the Xuanpeng bird, and the coastline gradually disappeared.
The Xuanpeng bird flew very smoothly, and the people in the house didn't feel the bump at all.
Unknown birds flew around the house, and a few even hit the wings.
Everyone praised Xuanpeng Bird for a few words, and the topic turned to Falling Star Island.
"I heard that this meteor shower is the largest in the past 50 years, so let's catch up with the good time to pick up more meteorite ore when the time comes."
"What kind of good time is this, there are more meteors, the danger is naturally greater, and I don't know how many people will fold in it this time."
"So don't be greedy, when you see a meteor, run away first, and save your life is the most important thing."
"Not really."
"I also heard that because the meteor shower is particularly big this time, senior students from various schools will come to join in the fun, and we will have fewer opportunities at that time."
"Is this true? At first, I thought people were joking. ”
"What's the matter with us? When the time comes, stay away from these pride of the sky, in case anyone looks at you unpleasantly and fights with you, you can't find a place to cry if you want to. ”
Listening to gossip and looking at the sea view along the way, the journey is not boring.
"We're on Falling Star Island!"
"Xuanpeng Bird is so fast?!"
Yang Zhao looked forward and saw the island, from the sky, this island is an irregular oval, the vegetation on the island is not dense, there are deep craters one after another, there is a little bit of the surface of the moon.
Suddenly, I felt my body lighter, and the island below became bigger and bigger.
I saw Xuan Peng Bird delicately put the wing room on a high platform, and flew away without touching the ground, Yang Zhao looked at it, and there was also a towering cliff over there.
With the weight of the Xuanpeng bird, it can't fly at all without the help of the wind at a high place.
After a while, the gate opened, and someone stood in the doorway to greet everyone.
"This is Falling Star Island, all the passengers can come out, please return the passenger wooden card in your hand to me."
When Yang Zhao came out of the wing, she saw a simple market in the distance, and when she saw everyone walking towards the market, she also followed.
"I've heard that there are twenty-four of these bazaars on this island, and if there's any danger, run to the bazaar."
"That's a few years ago, and this year the number of bazaars has increased to 30."
"Dude, you're well-informed!"
"What's so good about this, I bought the map of Falling Star Island in advance, and it's all marked on it."
Yang Zhao was shocked, she actually forgot to buy a map, it seems that she can only look for it in the bazaar to see if it is sold.
Since the spread of mobile phones, maps have disappeared from her life.
She had only seen two kinds of maps, the world map and the country map.
Although this bazaar actually looks dilapidated and small, there are many people doing business.
There are those who sell freshwater food, those who sell tents, those who sell ready-to-wear shoes and socks, and there are four or five hotels.
In the center of a house, there is a government sign, which is used to store and replace meteorite ores, and there is a huge wooden map of the whole island at the door, and next to it is a small vendor selling maps.
This map costs 3 yuan of silver, and listening to the tone of the peers, this price is more than twice as expensive as in Huanglong Port.
But it didn't work without a map, everyone paid for it, and Yang Zhao gritted his teeth and bought one.
Although the map is expensive, it is indeed very detailed.
It not only indicates the locations of the 30 markets, but also where there is fresh water and where there are caves on the island.
After buying the map, she didn't continue to shop, but quickly booked a room in the hotel.
There are still three days before the serious day, and there will be more and more people at that time, and she is afraid that she will not be able to grab the room if it is too late.
There's no way she's going to live outside.
The housing prices and meals here are much more expensive than those in Huanglonggang, and the meals in it are mostly fish and shrimp, and the method is only steamed and boiled, and it is estimated that they do not want to bring oil.
Yang Zhao had lunch in the store, and the second brother also recommended her home-grown dry food.
"Guest officer, look at our dry food, there is no moisture at all, it is made of good grain and good fish, this small piece of soaked water is enough for you to eat, if you don't want to take a bowl, break a small piece and put it in your mouth."
Yang Zhao picked up a piece and smelled it, it tasted quite fragrant, and bought fifteen yuan with a wave of his hand.
The young man smiled and wrapped the dry food with oiled paper and handed it to Yang Zhao.
"Sincere favor for a tael of silver."
It's so expensive!
