Chapter 29 [The Night of the Deserted Island of Lonely Men and Widows]
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?"
"But...but I'm so hungry." Vivian pouted her little mouth pitifully and blinked at Du Wei.
"I can't help it. Let's sleep all night. When it gets dark tomorrow, I will try to get a long branch to go to the beach to see if I can find fish in the diving area... I can't do it now. It's dark now. We
I can’t even swim, so if I drown, I’ll be doomed.”
Vivian sighed, and she could only sit down obediently... Inadvertently, she sat next to Du Wei.
"Let's talk. Chatting can make you forget about hunger." Du Wei smiled: "We haven't formally understood each other yet. Speaking of which, we can be considered friends in need now."
"Why don't you just forget it, understand?"
"For example..." Du Wei thought for a while, holding his knees and looking at the stars in the sky: "For example, you are so young, you are not older than me, right? How did you become a great magician? This is
A very remarkable thing.”
"I don't know either." Vivian also followed Du Wei's example and hugged her knees, sighing softly: "I have been with the teacher since I was a child. I have never gone out. This is the first time.
Second time.”
Du Wei turned his head to look at the little silly girl and suddenly smiled: "Actually, your voice is quite nice, sweet and soft. It would be even better if you didn't stutter."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Vivian blushed: "I haven't been very good at talking since I was a child."
"Actually, the more you stutter, the more you have to talk. The more you do anything, the better." Du Wei smiled and said: "Okay, tell me about you, how did you become an eighth-level magician?
Yes! To achieve such an achievement at such a young age, you are probably the only one in the entire empire."
"What?" Vivian looked at Du Wei in confusion.
Du Wei sighed and smiled bitterly: "Hey, I'm complimenting you. You should at least give me a reaction."
"Ah...I'm sorry, I, I..." Vivian was a little flustered again.
"Silly girl." Du Wei shook his head: "You seem to know nothing except magic?"
Afterwards, Du Wei patiently chatted with Vivian for a while, and Vivian told Du Wei some of her own situation.
She, Vivian Yang, has been learning magic with her teacher since she can remember.
However, no matter how Du Wei asked about her teacher's identity, the little silly girl gritted her teeth and refused to reveal even a single word. Even Du Wei couldn't tell her the truth.
Let's just think that her teacher is an outsider.
Vivian has lived with her teacher in a secret place since she was a child. According to her, it is also deep in the mountains. In the past ten years, Vivian has only gone out twice. Other than that, almost all the time.
Stay at home and study magic.
All she does every day is to learn all kinds of magic knowledge, recite all kinds of weird and difficult magic, and... help the teacher wash clothes.
"Washing clothes?" Du Wei smiled: "Can you also wash clothes?"
He took Vivian's little hand and looked at it: "Such tender little hands don't seem to be able to do those housework."
"I can do it!" Vivian blushed. She didn't know whether it was because Du Wei didn't believe her, or because she was shy because Du Wei had touched her: "I can use magic to wash it... as long as the next one
If you cast a spell, your clothes will be able to be washed by yourself."
"Oh... isn't that just like a washing machine..." Du Wei's heart moved.
The first time Vivian went out twice, she was taken by her teacher to the headquarters of the Magic Guild in the Imperial Capital, where she participated in a secret, unpublicized magic level assessment.
Before that assessment, her teacher once said, "Let those fools in the Magic Guild pop their eyes out! Let them know what an amazing genius I have cultivated!!"
And the result was... the magicians in charge of that assessment from the Magic Guild almost had their eyes popped out.
Because, from a magical perspective, Vivian is indeed a genius! And she is also a genius among geniuses!
A fourteen-year-old eighth-level magician! This is something that has never happened before in almost all the history of magicians!!
"Well, that was a year ago." Vivian was a little embarrassed: "Then those magicians were originally going to let me stay in the Imperial Capital, but the teacher said that there was no one to wash the clothes at home, so I still brought them with me.
I'm going back."
"Huh, your teacher doesn't want you to be lured away by people from the Magic Union." Of course Du Wei is not as naive as Vivian: "An eighth-level magician is a very important figure anywhere!
Even in the Magic Guild, how many great magicians are there who are above level eight? Humph...and you are still so young."
"Well." Vivian blinked. She couldn't quite understand Du Wei's words, but she quickly became happy: "Then I passed the assessment. The teacher was very happy. He gave me a gift.
The gift is the scorching...scorching...scorching sun!"
"The dragon?"
"Yeah!" Vivian said about her magic pet, and she immediately became excited: "That's it!"
Du Wei sighed... Who is her teacher? He actually gave a dragon as a gift!!
This is not some cat or dog! It’s a dragon!!
And Vivian stayed in the teacher's seclusion for another full year... She still studied magic and washed clothes every day.
After that, her most recent trip was her second trip to the outside world. It was to catch the escaped fear phantom... which was her teacher's pet.
"Wait a minute!" Du Wei suddenly jumped up, with excitement on his face, and looked at Vivian: "Where is that phantom demon? Is it still with you?"
Vivian nodded her head, and she untied her robe. The little phantom was locked in a small cage and hung on Vivian's waist.
"Stomach, stomach, now you're saved!" Du Wei's eyes were filled with hungry green light, and he swallowed: "Hey, little silly girl! We don't need to be hungry anymore. Well, this little thing is so hot.
Wow, it looks very plump! Although there are no seasonings here, but after peeling and roasting, it should still taste pretty good."
"..." Vivian blinked her eyes. It took her a long time to understand Du Wei's words, and suddenly she screamed: "Ah!! No, no, no! You, you, you can't eat my Jiu Jiu! It's
It's the teacher's pet. If you eat it, I, I, I..."
"I can't control that much anymore..." Du Wei said loudly: "We have been hungry all day. If we continue to be hungry, we will have no strength tomorrow, and we don't know if we can catch fish!"
"No, no, no, no... don't eat my Chiu Jiu." Vivian struggled to hold the small cage in her arms, trying not to let Du Wei snatch it away: "Don't eat my Chiu Jiu."
"Hmph! Then I'll eat your dragon!" Du Wei said loudly: "It's such a big guy, if you cut off a piece of meat and eat it, it won't die, right?"
"Eat...eat eat eat eat eat dragon?"
Vivian felt like she was about to faint.
At first I thought this little nobleman seemed quite nice, but in the blink of an eye he turned into a devil again!
Eating dragons? Oh my god! Just be like poor little Vivian! I have never heard of anyone in my life who would dare to eat a dragon... and then treat it as food!
"No, no, don't eat my hot sun! No, no, don't eat my chirps... Wow... dad, mom..." Seeing Du Wei's fierce look, Vivian launched another tear attack.
Du Wei was helpless, looking at the crying little silly girl, he could only shake his head: "It won't work this way, that won't work... Huh, okay! I'll let you go tonight. I'll try to catch fish tomorrow. If tomorrow
If we can't catch fish, then we can't starve to death! If our lives are gone, then don't talk about anything! If there is really no other way, we can only operate on this phantom first!"
At this moment, it wasn't just Vivian who was crying. Even the fat little phantom monster in the cage, which was as fat as a meat ball and could understand human speech, couldn't help but tremble in fear after hearing Du Wei's "Declaration".
A pair of big bean eyes looked at Du Wei stupidly, his fat body huddled up and trembling.
After listening to Du Wei's words, Vivian felt a little relieved, but she quickly prayed in her heart...
Almighty God! Bless poor little Vivian... Let this devil catch a few fish tomorrow... Oh no, no, no, it's not that poor little Vivian is greedy, it's just to save Jiu Jiu's life.
...Well, if possible, little Vivian can not eat fish, uh...or, just eat a small fish...please almighty God...oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
Hungry, Vivian really wants to eat fish...
