The night passed.

When Joe woke up, he found that his head was still on his neck, and he felt satisfied.

At least Ah Xin didn't talk about martial arts, and attacked his old man's house while he was sleeping at night.

The morning on Hongdao was a little damp, Qiao Du felt that his clothes were a little wet, he got up and touched the bed board, the painted wood bed board did not have a premonition of mold, but it was covered with a layer of dewdrops.

It's normal, after all, it's a one-story building, and it's surrounded by green grass, and there is no basement, so it's not damp.

He looked out the window, the large meadow stretched into the distance, cut off by the blue sky, and if he didn't care about the dark curtain of the world at the junction of the sea of clouds and the sky in the distance, then this was definitely an oil painting.

Jumping up with a snap, Qiao Duan stretched his muscles and shook his spirits.

"Is there breakfast?"

Although Qiao Du has her own canned food, when she goes out, she must eat white food if she can eat it.

He was a very principled person.

"There's fruit here."

Noah had already gotten up to help his mother Martha clean up.

Outside, Captain Isaac was tinkering with the floatboat, and Hilda, or Ah Xin, was learning from the sidelines, which made the originally somewhat decadent captain cheer up and dance to introduce everything about the floatboat.

"You know, according to the theory, as long as you carry this empty rock, you can make things take off, and our controls are based on that."

Captain Isaac said, pointing to the two stone balls in the cabin.

"So, as long as there are empty rocks big enough, can they support those big ships?"

Ah Xin pretended to be an ignorant girl, and looked at Captain Isaac with big watery eyes, like a cat waiting to be fed.

Who can not be impressed.

Captain Isaac immediately began to babble again, waving his hands and pouring out what he had learned.

"When will I leave?"

Enya, a girl with dark blond hair, sat next to her, holding a fruit in her hand.

According to Ah Xin, Enya is the real Miss Tiedao, but this eldest lady does not have the appearance of being industrious and indistinguishable, but is very down-to-earth and gnaws on the things in her hands.

Qiao Du also took one.

This thing looks like a papaya, the skin is light green, he has a good example, he gnawed it directly with his teeth, and found that the skin of this fruit is very thin, the juice is abundant, and it is very sweet.

"Delicious!"

He commented, attracting the attention of Enya next door.

"Pack up, we're going to see the village chief."

Noah came out of the house at this time, and he glanced at the sky behind him, a dark cloud was brewing in the distance.

"It looks like it's going to rain today."

He told his mother to put away her clothes and led the group towards the hillside where the village was located.

Qiao Twilight saw from a distance that there was a huge tree at the highest point behind the dotted village, the tree was about thirty meters high, it was hard to imagine that there would be such a tall tree on such a floating island with frequent violent storms, and as he walked, he found that Noah had taken them to the location of this big tree.

There was a hut, which was much smaller than the others, and there were no children playing with it, and it was quiet, private, like a dream.

Qiao Du saw that at the door of the house, there was a woman over half a hundred years old, with gray temples, who was using a basket to sift vegetables like beans.

"This is the village chief?"

Qiao Du couldn't help but ask in a whisper.

"I'm not the village chief, but I know what you're here for."

The old woman seemed to hear Qiao Dui's whisper, and she put down her work and looked at the crowd.

Her eyes were a little cloudy, and the years had left marks on her, and they had given her enough wisdom.

"You want to ask how to calm the storm, and you want to know how to make the Wind Candle."

The old woman said calmly, and she glanced at Noah.

"Come in, he's been waiting for you for a long time."

"Wind Candle?"

Qiao Du thought to himself that he had one on him, and if he could really use it, then he would not lose any points at all.

When they entered the house, there was no one else in the room, and the furnishings were very old, with the smell of a rotten old man.

Walking through the house to the courtyard, Qiao Du saw that it was where the trunk of the big tree was.

At the intricate roots of the tree, a person can be vaguely seen.

It was an old man with white hair, he had no clothes on his upper body, and the roots of the tree passed through his flesh, and instead of causing wounds, they spread out as if they were symbiotic with it, and the dark bark gradually merged with his skin, as if after a while, he would completely merge into the tree and become a part of it.

Qiao Du glanced at the thick tree trunk, and always felt that the trunk seemed to have fused and absorbed many people, and some faces could be vaguely seen, and I didn't know if it was an illusion.

"Village Chief."

Noah bowed his head and saluted.

The others bowed their heads as well.

Qiao Twilight looked up and saw crimson writing emerge between the scattered roots.

[This tree is the foundation of this island, and even the storm can't knock it down, but at what cost? 】

It seems that this big tree does have some transcendent elements in it.

"We can't fight the storm."

At this moment, the old man suddenly made a sound.

His mouth didn't move, and the words seemed to come from within him.

Perhaps, the village chief had already become one with the tree, but now all he saw was a shell left over from his human days, and one day, the village chief would become part of the thick root system, drawing nourishment from the dirt for the tree.

"We can only adapt to the storm, Noah, we are destined to spend the rest of our lives here."

The village chief's voice rang out again.

"Village Chief, these two visitors came into Hongdao by mistake from outside, they encountered a storm, this is Mr. Isaac, you know, he is also from outside the storm, since people can come through the storm, why can't we go out through the storm?"

Noah asked humbly.

"Listen to the trees, you know, we shouldn't leave this place."

The village chief's voice echoed low, like the thunder of a storm brewing in the distance.

"Beyond the storm is full of sin, filth, and danger, and it has taken us hundreds of years to finally find peace that should not be destroyed because of it, and this is God's revelation to me."

"What about the [Wind Candle], if we leave, we will never come back, I would like to ask you to give me the method of making the [Wind Candle]."

Noah spoke again.

"Depart, dreams are coming, and you should not continue to wander outside."

Instead of giving Noah the answer he wanted, the village chief told them to leave.

Seeing this, Noah did not argue, but only left the courtyard with everyone.

"Let's find a room to rest in, and the dream is about to come."

"What is a dream?"

Ah Xin asked.

"Dreams are."

Before Noah could finish his words, everyone heard a low, long roar, and under the tree, a huge translucent whale was slowly swimming in the light of the rainbow.
