Chapter 46: Fish Cakes

On January 4, 2490, the third day of my stay in the port city with Konin, there were no more academy students in the harbor, and they seemed to sense that the assessment was not so simple, but they did not understand the true meaning of the assessment.

I always feel that it is better to be closer to the destination than to stay in place, after all, in the end, it still depends on the distance ranking, even if you can't find the true meaning of the assessment, you can get a good ranking.

Ke Ning and I are actually gambling, betting on a kind of speculation, we feel that the only connection between the two pairs is the traction of history, and we can change each other's history, just like my guess at the beginning, maybe any of us arriving on Hainan Island is not the real purpose of the assessment.

I investigated the history of the entire port town with Konin, and there were several very authoritative navigators here, which was also the weather vane of the whole city, and also became the ideal of many children.

But in the past 100 years, the city seems to have been cut off by history, there has not been a single navigator, and even the city's proud maritime operations have been set back by 20 years.

An old man told us that the children's dreams are different from those of his time, the main source of the city's economy is to go to sea, many of the children's parents are sailors, but the accident rate of going to sea is getting higher and higher, and many boats have been missing at sea in recent years, and even the remains cannot be recovered.

More and ......more orphanages are being built in the city, and more and more children are being built without parents, and the children now want not great navigators, but love and miss their parents.

I thought of little Ivia, whose parents hadn't been in touch with him for three years, and I went to an orphanage in the city with Konin, and we exchanged all the money we earned from the casino for bread and gave it to them, and the children were very happy, and when they heard that we were travelers from the South, they all gathered around us and asked us to tell him stories.

The director, a 50-year-old lady whose son was unfortunate enough to be attacked by pirates while going to sea, sold his ship and opened an orphanage in the city, and although they were losing money every month, they persevered.

The dean said that when he saw these children, he remembered that when his son was young, his son had a parent who loved him, so these children must also have a parent who loved them, although she could not really be the person that the children missed in their hearts, but she would always love the children and fill the vacancy in the children's hearts.

Before leaving, the dean brought us a lot of fruits, saying that they were all planted by the children, it was a little bit of the children's heart, I and Ke Ning took the fruits, the dean asked if we would still come, Ke Ning said to him if there was a chance to meet each other.

Miss Li Nina stewed a big fish for us, she said that the fish belonged to little Ivea and we were here to play with her, she was very happy, it was a gift in return for us. I told Miss Li Nina that we wouldn't be staying long, and that we might be leaving in a few days.

She said that when we were here, she made her feel that this was a home, if we could, let us stay for a few more days, I agreed with Kening, anyway, it is impossible to get out now,

After eating, I summarized the information of the past few days with Konin and came to a conclusion, that is, the purpose of the headmaster is to let us change history, so that this city that has been cut off by history for a hundred years will produce a navigator.

After completing the course, Ivia asked me to accompany her to buy fish cakes, a specialty of the city, a snack made by drying fish and shrimp and then marinating and drying them, and then deep-frying them, so that little Ivia could eat a big bag every time.

Kenin said that he was going to the casino to hone his skills, so he didn't go with me, thinking of the casino owner looking at his face these days, I doubted whether he could still let him enter the door again. Miss Li Nina found me a set of fleece cotton clothes, and he told me that the weather was very cold and windy these days, and my thin clothes would freeze miserably if I went to the beach.

Evia also put on her own coat, which was thick and dressed like a little snowman,

"Brother, the squid fish cake is delicious......

"Mmmm, my brother will buy you a lot."

I'm not very good at gambling, but I also learned a lot of skills with Kenin, although the income is not more than half of his, but it is not a problem to solve the expenses of myself and little Ivia, the small commercial street of the city is located near the sea, no matter how cold the people here will be stalled, because it is a port city, the flow of people is very large every day. Those who stay in the city will have a hard time supporting their families if they are not diligent.

Little Ivea, with a pair of white gloves, threw a snowball into the distance from time to time, and told me that navigators always make marks on the sea, and this is her mark, so that we will not get lost when we come back.

There are a lot of fish cakes sold in the small business street, and little Iveya skillfully took me to a store that is not too big, and the proprietress is very familiar with Ivea.

"Little Evia, you're here to buy fish cakes again? Who is this? Where's your sister Linina? ”

"He's my brother."

"Hello, I'm a distant relative of his, and Ivia has come to see it these days."

"Oh, it's a relative."

The proprietress told me to pull aside,

"I heard that Evia's father was probably already ...... If you really can't take her away, this little girl is often bullied at school, and it would be better for her to have someone who can take care of him than to stay here. ”

Little Ivea picks out all kinds of fish cakes and jumps around the store, there are many small fish in the store, Ivea likes them very much, he gives each fish a name, and every time he comes, he can recognize them,

In fact, this kind of deep-water fish does not live long, but the proprietress replenishes them in time every time, and these small fish are one of the few friends of little Evia.

Little Ivea picked out two bags of fish cakes, and he said that one bag was for us, saying that we would definitely be hungry on the way to travel, and that if we forgot about Ivia, we should eat a piece of fish cake, so that she would not be very sad.

I looked at the amount the little girl had bought, and thought it was still too little, and I bought ten times as much as he did, because I knew that if I didn't give it to her when she needed it, I might not have the opportunity to give it to her.

After the proprietress said goodbye, the little girl's eyes were filled with golden light.

"This ...... Are all of these for me? ”

"Well, that's right, it's all Little Evia's."

On the way back, little Ivea was holding a few big bags of fish cakes, and I forgot what she had said to me to make a mark, I looked at her running in front, and my mood was very better, this is to take my daughter, say that we can have offspring, go back and ask the principal.

After returning home, Miss Li Nina looked at the big bags of fish cakes brought back by little Ivea in shock, as if she wanted to say a few words to her but was stopped by me, I told her that this is a little bit of my heart, I also had a sister before, about the same age as her, Li Nina seemed to understand me and nodded.

Miss Li Nina took out a lot of money from her pocket, and insisted on giving me money for the fish cakes, but she refused to give me many excuses, and at last I had to tell her that the currency here was not the same as in the south, so I had to give up.
