Hu Xiao finally caught a little bit of the youthful atmosphere from this smile.
Long Ao is too young to be mature.
Always sullen and unsmiling every day, Hu Xiao almost forgot that he was just a young orc about the same age as his grandson.
"There is a kind of sunflower on the island. They always point their leaves in the direction of the sun. Using this, you can probably tell whether they are circling in circles." Hu Xiao said, "However, it won't take long after entering the thick fog.
The grass will wither and I wonder if we can get out if we go fast enough."
"Oh?" Long Ao became interested immediately, thinking why didn't you tell me earlier.
"But I have tried many times before. Because the speed is not that fast, I can't find the way before the leaves wither." Hu Xiao said with some self-deprecation.
"Now that you add me, maybe you can give it another try." Long Ao said.
The next day, Hu Xiao also got on the boat with Long Ao.
In addition to the two of them, there was also a mermaid orc and four orcs from the Rohr tribe on the boat.
The number of these orcs is exactly the optimal configuration, which can row the boat away as quickly as possible without affecting the speed of the boat due to the large number of orcs.
Long Ao put the sunflower grass on the boat, then looked at Long Ao, and the two nodded to each other.
The boat left the shore and rowed into the thick fog.
The mist's vapor blurred their eyes.
Hu Xiao looked in the direction of the sunflower blades and directed everyone to march in the thick fog.
Soon, the leaves gradually withered, and they still could not get out of the thick fog, and it began to rain.
"Go back, there will definitely be no results today." Hu Xiao said.
Long Ao looked at the lifeless leaves and nodded, "We will bring more grass over tomorrow."
It turns out that no matter how much grass they brought, whether it was leaves or complete grass with roots still in the soil, the leaves died at about the same time.
Five days later, the failed boat was once again guided by the mermaid and returned to the shore of the island.
"No!" Long Ao said, "This blade of grass seems to be unable to withstand the fog, and its longevity is simply not enough to support us out of the thick fog. We have to find a way to isolate the blade from the thick fog."
"There is no way," Hu Xiao wiped the moisture from his head, "I have tried it before, using leaves, using earthen pots, cutting a hole in the stone, and putting the leaves inside." Hu Xiao listed the things he had used before.
method.
"But it's useless. We need to look at the direction of the leaves, but as long as we take them out, they will still wither."
"It's not completely impossible." Long Ao said, taking out a transparent plastic jar from his bag.
There was a small piece of red stuff in the jar, and Hu Xiao watched with his own eyes as Long Ao put the red stuff into his mouth.
"What is this?" Hu Xiao moved closer to take a closer look, but Long Ao hid the jar behind his back.
"What is so mysterious?" Hu Xiao became even more curious.
"Hu Ling'er gave this to me!" Long Ao said.
"What is this thing she gave you for? Although you can't tell it clearly, it looks very beautiful and mysterious."
"Of course!" Long Ao said proudly, "None of the brothers in the Hu family have this, only I have it."
"Then let me take a look, I don't think it's bad." Hu Xiao said and wanted to get it again, but was avoided by Long Ao again.
Long Ao unscrewed the lid of the plastic jar, gestured towards Huxiao and said: "You can put things in this, we put the blades in it, and then cover the lid so that the blades cannot come into contact with the mist. And
The blades are placed inside, and you can see the direction of the blades without opening them. I think after using this, we should be able to go out."
"You kid, why are you taking out such a good thing now!" Hu Xiao kept staring at the jar.
If this thing was really as powerful as Long Ao said, they could have gone out a few days earlier.
Why bother with this!
"But, I'm reluctant to use it!" Long Ao didn't feel guilty at all.
"This one contains the last piece of candy Hu Ling'er gave me." He said, "Now that I take out the bottle, there will be no place to put the candy. If we fail again, I won't be able to eat it again.
It’s such sweet candy.”
Long Ao seemed calm and clear on the surface, but Hu Xiao still heard his fear.
It turns out that this guy looks very strong, but he is still scared inside.
"You are really good at hiding. You have been here for so long and you still don't give me a taste of the things my little granddaughter gave you." Hu Xiao deliberately teased him.
"Of course I can't give it to you as a gift. If you want it, go find Ling'er and get it yourself."
"Okay, I'll go out tomorrow and ask her for it myself!" Hu Xiao laughed heartily.
This time they didn't rush to find a way out. Long Ao got on the boat again, holding sunflowers in plastic jars and sitting in the mist for a long, long time.
When he returned from the sea, he found that the moon had already risen.
Hu Xiao looked at the still vibrant sunflower in Long Ao's arms and said excitedly: "It's done! It's done! This jar works very well."
"We can go out tomorrow!" Long Ao glanced at the stars in the sky and was very happy.
"Yes! It will definitely work this time!"
…
The next morning, all the orcs packed up again.
They didn't know what was going on, but they just heard that Hu Xiao had found a way to get out.
Some merfolk don't want to take everything.
In their view, this is likely to be another failure among many. If they go out for a walk, they may be back.
But Hu Xiao warned the mermaids: "Take all your valuables with you. After we go out this time, we may never come back again."
"Can it really work this time?"
"Can we definitely go out this time?"
"I wonder what it's like outside? Is it still the same as before?"
The mermaid tribe is both longing for and afraid of the outside world.
The orcs who came out with Tiger Roar were filled with joy.
I can finally go home and see my family again!
According to the method last time, twelve ships were connected together.
The mermaid tribe dressed the cubs in special clothes made of fish skin.
These clothes are waterproof and will keep the pups less cold if it rains.
Long Ao and Hu Xiao led the way in the big boat, while the boat behind them kept moving forward according to the traction of the vines.
It didn't take long for it to rain again. Although the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the fleet had no intention of stopping.
Just when the orcs on the boat were chattering due to the cold, and the cubs' noses were about to run into their mouths, they finally noticed that the fog surrounding the boat was getting lighter and lighter. This chapter has been completed!
