"Master, Hurrington, come and see what this is?" Alice shouted as she ran towards the Harmony with the bottle in hand.

Hurrington took the bottle and looked at it, "It's a drifting bottle." ”

"Drifting bottle?" Alice asked, as if she had discovered something interesting, "what is a drifting bottle, and is it any different from a normal bottle?"

Bingzhi said: "The drifting bottle can be said to be a kind of wishing bottle, the person who throws the bottle puts his wish or story into the bottle and lets it drift with the waves, hoping to be picked up by others and get the blessing of that person." Generally, seafarers will also write the reason and experience of the death into a drifting bottle before they are killed, so that others can know. ”

Hurrington found a roll of paper, wiped all the algae mud off the bottle, and saw that there was no wishing sand in the bottle, and said: "This should not be a wishing bottle, there are usually five-colored wishing sand in the wishing bottle, or at least some sea sand should be put in it." ”

"Is this a distress bottle?" asked Alice.

"Maybe. Hurrington smashed the cork on the bottle, which was already soaked like mud and rotted with a slight poke. He poured the bottle upside down, and only poured out the seawater that had been immersed in it, but the paper roll could not be poured out, so he had to break the bottle to get the small paper roll inside.

The paper roll was an old yellow color, and there was a small rope tied to it, and Hurington found that the paper roll had been soaked in seawater for so long and had not been soaked, because the paper was sealed with a waterproof fish film. This fish film is a transparent soft skin taken from the inside of a marine fish, which is very waterproof, and seafarers often use it to seal some important documents, which is a common thing on sea vessels.

Hurington spread out the scroll and looked at it, and sure enough, it was a letter of death.

'We are a fleet from the port of Malindoa, ready to go out and sell our goods. When we sailed to the Bunanissa Sea, we were shipwrecked and the tsunami sank all five ships of our fleet, leaving only the Storm and the Haya. Later, the cargo ship "Storm" also sank, and all the crew members survived on the "Haiya", and the food was quickly eaten, and they had to rely on catching sea fish for food. Later we found out that we had lost our way, and had sailed along the course of the Celestial for several months, but we had never reached our goal, and there was a terrible scurvy on board. Not long after, the captain also fell ill and died, and the 'Haiya' was taken over by the first mate......

Alice interrupted Hurington, who was reading the letter, and asked, "What is the first mate?"

"The first mate is simply the first officer. "The answer is the Ice Childish.

"Oh. Alice nodded.

'We buried the captain and seamen at sea, and the crew thought that the Haiya had fallen into a ghost sea and could only be lost forever, which further depressed the morale of the ship. After a few days, the first mate decided not to follow the charts anymore, and he decided to keep going east, but he still did not get out of the predicament. At the time I write this letter, I still don't see any hope of survival, I don't know what our fate will be, maybe we will die one after another on the lost ocean, maybe the first mate will decide to let us die in the sea with the 'Haiya', so I write this drifting bottle, which can be regarded as the last words of all the seafarers of our 'Haiya'...... In July 6647 of the Holy Garden calendar, the lookout hand - Sid Rosen. ’

When Alice heard Zuihou, she was surprised: "July 6647, isn't it hundreds of years from now?"

Bingzhi said: "Today is February 2, 7404 in the Holy Garden calendar, and this drifting bottle has been more than seven hundred years old. ”

"And the Bunanisha Sea mentioned in the letter is the sea area on the west side of the main continent, and we are now in the sea on the east side of the main continent. If they were still in the West Sea after they got lost, this drifting bottle would have drifted for at least hundreds of thousands of nautical miles!"

Alice was amazed to hear that the drifting bottle had actually drifted here from the other side of the continent.

Bingzhi said evilly: "This drifting bottle has nothing to do with us, as long as we don't get lost like them." ”

"Hey, you can also say something haode. Hurrington said unhappily, thinking that if his gang were lost in the sea like the 'Haiya', it would be better to live than to die, and he could only watch himself get sick, mourn, and then slowly rot......

The two of them got to work, repaired the places that could be repaired, and then set sail again.

At night, there were no stars, and it was impossible to discern the direction, so I had to let the 'Harmony' drift slowly. The three of them sat on the deck with nothing to say, each doing their own thing. ,

Little Yeke slumped over in Alice's arms and shook his body. At this time, it had just woken up, and it was the time to be full of energy. It sprang down from Alice and found General Shook sitting on a small bench drinking a delicious ale, and immediately became angry, apparently still holding a grudge against what had happened last time, and was about to bully him when he ran over.

When General Shawk saw Yerk coming, he quacked in fright, and fled with his beer glass in his hand, and he was being bullied by Yerk these days.

Alice watched the two of them chase after each other, and was also amused: "Little Yeke is quite grudgeful, it's been so long, and he still remembers it." ”

General Shook couldn't outrun Yerk, and his head kept being beaten by the iron plate in Yerk's hand, and it cried in pain.

Hurrington sighed, "Someone finally spoke, and I was almost suffocated." He also knew what happened between General Shook and Hawk, and said with a smile: "Now Hawk will be angry when he sees him drinking, and General Shawk will have to quit drinking in the future." ”

As the saying goes, when a rabbit is in a hurry, there is fire, and General Xiao Ke was dizzy by the iron plate, his ears buzzed, and he became angry all of a sudden, and the reflex was a water magic that hit Yeke.

Yerk chased after him in a hurry, but he didn't even dodge it, and was immediately drenched in the warm fur of the icy water magic. Now it was even more angry, threw down the iron plate, jumped on General Shook and bit it.

Jerk's teeth were not big, but they hurt to bite, and General Shook cried around Alice's chair, pulling Alice's skirt for help from time to time.

Alice didn't help, but snorted, "Whoever told you to make trouble every time you get drunk, and stained several barrels of beer, let Yeke teach you a lesson." ”

Looking at these two mischievous goblins, he couldn't help but think of the goblins, Pike, and Robin Gudefilo he saw when he was injured and lived in Sofina's school dormitory. Thinking about it, a sweet smile appeared on his face.

Hurrington chatted with Alice for a while, and when she saw that Bing's childish expression was unusual, she asked, "Hey, what are you thinking, smiling so ambiguously?"

Bing Zhiyi came back to his senses and immediately restrained his expression: "No." And he said, "I suddenly remembered a story. ”

"What a story. Alice sat up straight at once, and when she heard a story, she was excited, especially the one told by her master.

"It's a story about a monster drifting bottle. Bing Zhiyi recalled for a moment and began to say: "Legend has it that there is a drifting bottle with a monster in the middle of the sea, floating alone, once he could leave the bottle and live a happy life, but he didn't, because he fell in love with a girl. The moment he met the girl, he was destined to fall in love with her. He decided to give the girl happiness until she died. One day he accidentally discovered a secret, in fact, the girl appeared in order to get his liliang, he ran to the beach to find the girl and asked her: Do you love me? Have you ever loved me? The girl said, "What is love?" After saying that, the girl jumped into the sea. He didn't die thinking that the girl had deceived him and was ready to take revenge on mankind, in the girl's hometown he knew the meaning of the girl zuihou pointing to the sky, it was me xiangshang day swearing, in this life and this life, except for you and I will never love. Zuihou He realized that in fact, he had already fallen in love with the girl and did not repay the favor, but it was too late, so he sealed himself in a bottle and accompanied the girl forever in the sea. ”

Although the ice childish evil was brief, Alice was so moved that even tears fell, and she sobbed and said: "What a touching story, if only I were like that girl, there was a drifting bottle monster who loved me so much." ”

"Isn't it just a story?"

Alice slapped him and cried: "You are a big pervert, you only know how to bubble MM in your heart, how can you know what aiqing is." ”

"I ...... Am I a pervert, I ......," Hurrington pointed to himself, unable to argue for a moment.

"My head. Alice said: "Such a romantic and touching aiqing story was actually listened to by a person with dirty thoughts like you, which simply tarnished the purity of this story." ”

"You...... You ......" Hurington was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

Alice said with a yearning on her face: "I hope I can meet such an unswerving aiqing." Master, do you think there will be such an aiqing story between me and you?",

Bing Zhiyi was startled, and quickly waved his hand, "No, absolutely not." ”

Hurrington finally relieved the breath in his chest, and did not dare to provoke her again, lest she say anything more that would make her vomit blood. In fact, Hurrington is quite eloquent, but when he faces Alice, he has a shadow of the past. Otherwise, he would not have deceived so many resentful women and innocent girls with his rhetoric and incorruptible tongue, and he would not have deceived so many rich children of unjust money.

Hurrington looked Ice Evil up and down like a monster.

"What are you doing?" said the ice childish evil lukewarmly.

Hurrington said: "This is not like you normally, usually you only preach. It's a miracle that I can tell the story of Aiqing today. ”

"Yes, master, Alice also thinks it's very strange, do you miss Teacher Sofina?" Alice's big eyes looked at the Bingzhi evil path without blinking.

Bing Zhixiao tilted his head and looked at it: "What's the matter, this story is what I read when I was reading a book before." I picked up the drifting bottle today, and I remembered that there was this story, and by the way, I told it. Suddenly, he got angry and said, "If you think it's not good, I won't talk about this nonsense anymore." ”

Alice hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I like to hear this kind of story." Master, you can talk a few more. ”

Bing Zhiye said with a straight face: "No, I've only seen this one story." ”

......

(P.S. One of the most famous drifting bottles in history is said to have been dropped by Columbus.) In 1492, after visiting a small island in the Americas, Columbus feared that he would not be able to return to Europe, so he wrote a letter to the Empress of Spain, sealed it in a bottle along with a map of the Americas he had made, and threw it into the Atlantic, expecting it to drift to Europe. As a result, 300 years later, until the 50s of the 19th century, the bottle was not discovered. ）
