Chapter 29 [A lonely man and a widow on a desert island night]
When the sun was about to set, Du Wei's search finally paid off.
He found a small puddle deep in the forest on the west side of the island. This was probably a puddle left after the rainy season. There were no wild animals on the island, and the place where the puddle was located was relatively backlit. Du Wei carefully checked it.
I looked around this water source and found no traces of wild animals.
After tasting it and confirming that the puddle was fresh water, Du Wei felt relieved. The two boys and girls, who had been thirsty for most of the day, immediately threw themselves down by the puddle regardless of their image and started drinking the cool water with a slightly weird taste.
After pouring it into his dry throat, Du Wei couldn't help but let out a pleasant sigh. When the cool feeling slid down his throat, his whole body shivered in comfort.
After drinking enough water, Du Wei immediately took off his sheepskin boots and washed them in the puddle.
"What are you doing?" Vivian blinked at Du Wei's movements.
"Wash the shoes." Du Wei said, without pausing in his movements: "Then fill it with water."
"Send water? Use shoes?" Vivian showed a strange expression.
"Of course." Du Wei curled his lips: "Besides shoes, can you find other water containers? Do you have a bottle or a jar? If not, then I have to use shoes. My shoes are sheepskin
Yes, it's very waterproof." At this point, Du Wei glanced at the little silly girl: "Stop frowning, this is our only way. We don't know how long we will stay in this ghost place, we can't stay
Guarding this puddle here, you must go to the coast! If you think my shoes are too smelly, you can take off your own shoes to fill the water."
Vivian was still a little stunned, but Du Wei had already urged: "Hurry up. Unless you want to drink the water from my shoes tomorrow."
It was probably the latter sentence that stimulated poor little Vivian, who hurriedly took off her shoes.
The female magician's shoes are also made of leather, and the leather seems to be better than Duwei's sheepskin boots. After taking off her shoes, the female magician seemed a little at a loss. She had white socks on her corners, but they were stained.
There was blood on the girl's feet. It seemed that after half a day's walking, blisters appeared on the girl's feet, and the blisters even burst.
Soon, the female magician followed Du Wei's example and lay down on the edge of the puddle and quickly cleaned her shoes. She washed them repeatedly for countless times, and finally Du Wei became impatient: "Wash them for two times."
One wash is enough, why are you washing it so many times?"
"Shoes... shoes, dirty..."
Du Wei smiled and looked at this innocent little silly girl: "Hey, look, this puddle is not big, just a little water. You wash it here and there. The shoes are cleaned, but the water is dirty.
, and the last thing you drink is still this water."
"..." Vivian was stunned, then she flattened her mouth and filled her two boots with water with infinite grievance and stood up: "Cocoa, do we really want to drink this?"
"When you are so thirsty tomorrow, you will drink the water ten times dirtier than this without hesitation." Du Wei said calmly: "Okay, let's go back now."
On the way, Du Wei still held the long wooden stick in front of him to clear the way. However, after walking for a while, he found that the female magician behind him was falling further and further away. Du Wei stopped and frowned at her: "You are the last one?"
Hurry up, it's already getting late. If the sun completely sets, it will be dark here, and it will be even more difficult for us to walk. It's difficult to identify the direction when walking in the woods at night."
Vivian quickly nodded vigorously, sped up and followed, but after taking a few steps, she couldn't help but shed tears in pain: "My... my feet, my feet hurt so much."
Du Wei frowned and walked to her side. He looked down and saw that the girl's small feet had been pricked by thorns in several places. The originally delicate and round ankles and several small toes were covered with mud and silk.
Blood.
Du Wei sighed, feeling helpless. It was indeed difficult for such a delicate girl to walk barefoot in the jungle.
Du Wei had a cold face, hung two shoes around his neck, then turned around and bent down slightly.
"Come up!"
"……Um?"
"I told you to come up!" Du Wei turned his back to the female magician, his voice was still cold: "Hurry up. Don't waste time, I will carry you back."
"Cocoa is..."
"It's nothing. Listen, little girl, we have to hurry up and return to the dragon before dark. We are not familiar with this island yet. God knows what is on this island. Now you and I have no ability to protect ourselves.
.We have to hurry up! Hurry! Now, stop talking nonsense and come up!"
Du Wei's stern voice made poor little Vivian dare not refute anything. She immediately followed Du Wei's example and hung her shoes around her neck, and then lay obediently on Du Wei's back.
Carrying the female magician on his back for a few steps, Du Wei found it a bit difficult. After all, although his mind was that of an adult, his body was still that of a teenager and a half-year-old... and he was also a guy who had been frail and sick since childhood.
.
"Thank you... thank you."
After walking for a while, the female magician on her back suddenly stammered something like this in a low voice. Her voice was so low that Du Wei almost didn't hear it clearly. But he just snorted and said nothing.
Just like this, on this deserted island, as night fell, poor little Vivian lay on the back of a strange boy. When she raised her head, she could see the black sky exposed through the gaps between the dense branches and leaves. When she lowered her head
If you go, you can see the young man under you moving forward with difficulty, and you can also hear Du Wei's labored breathing.
Vivian suddenly felt that this little nobleman who bullied her honestly and spoke harshly didn't seem so scary anymore...
•;
When they returned to the place where the two people "crashed", the giant dragon was still sleeping. According to Vivian's stammering introduction on the way, the dragon could slowly recover after being injured and falling into a deep sleep. During this period, it didn't even need to eat or drink.
This made Du Wei breathe a sigh of relief... Fortunately, otherwise, this little fresh water would not be enough for people to drink. How could it be enough to feed a dragon?
After trudging back to their temporary camp, Du Wei dropped the female magician on his body and fell to the ground, gasping for air.
"I can't do it anymore... I can't do it anymore..." Du Wei breathed heavily, like a dying person. His whole body was sore and weak, and he complained: "If it were in the past, let alone carry such a little girl, even if
With one on my back and one in my arms, I can run a thousand meters in one breath, but my body is so different now..."
Vivian next to her was thrown to the ground by Du Wei, but this time she did not cry out for pain. Instead, she sat up suddenly. Seeing Du Wei breathing hard, the little silly girl suddenly jumped up and hurriedly started.
A big leaf plucked from a tree sat quietly next to Du Wei, raising his little hand to try hard to fan Du Wei with cool air.
Du Wei took a breath and looked up at Vivian: "What are you doing?"
"I...I see you look very tired, I'll give you a fan." Vivian said seriously with her eyes wide open.
Du Wei couldn't help but laugh. This girl is a little silly, but she is also cute and silly: "Thank you... But, don't you know it's early spring and the weather is still quite cold?"
Du Wei gently took the big leaf from the female magician's hand, looked at the female magician's blushing face with a smile, and then said: "Okay, now we are going to light a fire.
, otherwise, it will be unbearably cold at night. We don’t have anything now, and if Dong gets sick, we will be in big trouble."
In fact, the problem of cold nights is not difficult to solve, as long as the two of them sleep against the dragon.
After all, that dragon is a flame dragon... However, if they sleep next to such a huge creature, if the dragon turns over casually in their sleep, the two of them will be crushed to death.
Moreover, Vivian may become the first magician in history to be crushed to death by her own magic pet.
Du Wei picked up enough branches and leaves and asked the female magician to cast a fire spell...a small fireball spell (now Vivian's magic ability is only a little bit left).
He lit the branches and asked Vivian to hold the torch. Duwei held enough branches. The two came to the beach nearby. Duwei raised a fire. He piled the branches as high as possible so that the bonfire would burn brightly.
Very violent.
In the darkness, the eye-catching firelight can probably be seen even from a long distance away!
Du Wei sighed, this was his only hope. He only hoped that some passing ship would see the bonfire here and send someone over, so that the two of them might be saved.
After finishing everything, Du Wei was exhausted. He lay sprawled on the beach and sighed longly.
Just then... Goo!
Du Wei was stunned for a moment, and then heard another sound...
Goo!
He sat up and looked at Vivian next to him with a half-smile.
"I'm sorry, my belly." The bonfire nearby made the female magician's face glow red, and Vivian covered her stomach in embarrassment: "I'm hungry."
"Me too." Du Wei sighed: "Unfortunately, we haven't found any small animals on this island at the current location. Otherwise, it would be good to catch two and have an open-air barbecue here."
"Then...then, where is the wild fruit?" Probably hunger made the female magician think a little smarter.
"Look around you. Are there any fruit trees? Not even those berry bushes. There are only leaves and weeds." Du Wei sighed: "Otherwise, do I need you to remind me?"
"Well, what about the fish?" The female magician looked at Du Wei pitifully: "Are there fish in the sea?"
Du Wei shrugged his shoulders and looked at Vivian: "Can you swim?"
The female magician shook her head.
"Me neither." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "Like you, I am a land duck. I don't have the ability to catch fish in the water. Moreover, during the day, I have already searched for it on the coast.
All I found were some empty shellfish and conches, unless your stomach can handle hard shells?"
