When the sun was about to set, Du Wei's search finally paid off.
He found a small waterhole deep in the woods on the west side of the island. This is probably a puddle left after the rainy season. There are no wild animals on the island, and the place where the puddle is located is relatively dark. Du Wei carefully checked the surroundings of the water source, but did not find any traces of wild animals.
After tasting it and confirming that there is fresh water in the puddle, Du Wei was relieved. The two boys and girls, who had been thirsty for a long time, immediately threw themselves on the side of the puddle regardless of their image and poured it fiercely. The cool and slightly strange-tasting water was poured into their burning throats, and Du Wei couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. sigh. When that cool feeling slides down the throat, the whole person will shiver comfortably.
After drinking the water, Du Wei immediately took off his sheepskin boots and washed them in the puddle.
"What are you doing?" Vivian blinked and watched Du Wei's movements.
"Wash the shoes." Du Wei said, the movement of his hands didn't stop: "Then use it to hold water."
"Storing water? Using shoes?" Vivian showed a strange expression.
"Of course." Du Wei curled his lips: "Apart from shoes, can you find other containers for water? Do you have a bottle or a jar? If you don't have any, then you can only use shoes. My shoes are made of sheepskin Yes, the water resistance is very good." Speaking of this, Du Wei glanced at the little silly girl: "Don't frown, this is our only way. We don't know how long we will stay in this ghost place, we can't stay Here guards this puddle, you must go to the shore! If you think my shoes are too smelly, you can take off your own shoes to hold the water."
Vivienne was still a little dazed, but Du Wei urged, "Hurry up. Unless you want to drink the water in my shoes tomorrow."
Probably the latter sentence irritated poor little Vivian, she hurriedly took off her shoes.
The sorceress's shoes are also leather, and it seems that leather is better than Duwei's sheepskin boots. After taking off her shoes, the female magician seemed to be at a loss. There were white socks on her corners, but they were already stained with blood. It seemed that after half a day of walking, the girl had blisters on her feet, and The blisters also burst.
Soon, the female magician imitated Du Wei's appearance, lying on the edge of the puddle and cleaning her shoes quickly. She repeatedly washed it countless times, and finally Du Wei became a little impatient: "Washing twice is enough, why are you washing so many times?"
"Shoes... shoes, dirty..."
Du Wei smiled and looked at this simple little silly girl: "Hey, look, this puddle is not big, just a little water. You wash and wash, the shoes are clean, but the water is dirty , and the last thing you drink is this water."
"..." Vivienne was stunned, and then she pouted, with infinite grievances, filled her two boots with water and stood up: "Ke Ke, do we really want to drink this?"
"Tomorrow, when you are so thirsty that you are smoking, you will drink water ten times dirtier than this without hesitation." Du Wei said lightly, "Okay, let's go back now."
On the way, Du Wei was still holding the long wooden stick to open the way ahead, but after walking for a while, he found that the female magician behind him was getting further and further away. Hurry up, it's getting late. If the sun goes down completely, it will be dark here, and it will be even more difficult for us to walk. Walking in the woods at night, it is difficult to recognize the direction."
Vivienne nodded vigorously, speeded up and followed, but after walking a few steps, she couldn't help shedding tears in pain: "My... my feet, my feet hurt so much."
Du Wei frowned and walked to her side, looking down, the girl's small feet had been punctured by thorns in several places, the originally delicate and round ankles, and several small toes were covered with mud and traces. blood.
Sighing, Du Wei was a little helpless. It was really embarrassing for such a delicate girl to walk barefoot in the jungle.
With a cold face, Du Wei hung the two shoes around his neck, then turned around and bent slightly.
"Come up!"
"… Um?"
"Let me tell you!" 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..."
"There's nothing to worry about. Listen, little girl. We need to hurry up and get back to the dragon before dark. We're not familiar with this island yet. God knows what's on this island. You and I don't even have the ability to protect ourselves now." .We need to hurry up! Quick! Now, don't talk nonsense, come up!"
Du Wei's stern voice made poor little Vivienne dare not refute any more. She immediately followed Du Wei's example and hung the shoes around her neck, and then obediently fell on Du Wei's back.
Carrying the female magician on his back for a few steps, Du Wei felt a little strenuous. After all, although his thinking was an adult, his body was still a teenager and a half-grown boy... and he was also a weak, sick and congenitally deficient guy.
"Thank... thank you."
After walking for a while, the female magician on her back suddenly stammered something in a low voice. Her voice was so low that Du Wei almost couldn't hear it clearly. But he just snorted and didn't speak.
In this way, on this uninhabited island, as night fell, poor little Weiwei was lying on the back of a strange boy. When she looked up, she could see the black sky protruding from the gaps between the densely packed branches and leaves. Go, you can see the boy below you struggling to move forward, and you can also hear Du Wei's labored breathing.
Vivian suddenly felt that this little nobleman who bullied her honestly and spoke fiercely was not so scary anymore...
Back to the place where the two "landed in an air crash", the giant dragon was still sleeping. According to Vivienne's stammering introduction on the road, the dragon can slowly recover after falling into a deep sleep after being injured, and it doesn't even need to eat or drink during this period.
This made Du Wei heave 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 walking back to their temporary camp with difficulty, Du Wei dropped the female magician on his body and fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
"I can't... I can't..." Du Wei breathed heavily, panting like a dying person, his whole body was limp and weak, and complained: "If it was in the past, let alone carrying such a little girl, it would count as carrying a , holding one, I can also run a thousand meters in one breath, and now my body is too bad... "
Vivian next to her was thrown to the ground by Du Wei, but this time she didn't cry out for pain anymore, instead she sat up straight up, seeing Du Wei struggling to breathe, the little silly girl suddenly jumped up, frantically walking from place to place. A big leaf plucked from a book, and then sat quietly beside Du Wei, raising his little hand to cool Du Wei hard.
Du Wei gasped for a while, then looked up at Vivian: "What are you doing?"
"I... I see you seem very tired, I will fan you." Vivienne said seriously with her eyes wide open.
Du Wei couldn't help laughing. This girl is a little silly, but she is also really cute: "Thank you... But, don't you know that it is 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 flushed face of the female magician with a smile, and said: "Okay, we are going to light a fire now. , otherwise, it will be unbearably cold at night. We have nothing now, if Jelly gets sick, it will be a big trouble."
In fact, the problem of cold nights is not difficult to solve, as long as the two of them sleep next to the dragon.
After all, that dragon was a flame dragon... However, sleeping next to such a huge monster, if the sleeping dragon turned over casually, the two of them would be crushed to death.
Moreover, Vivienne might 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 let the female magician cast a fire magic... a small fireball (now Vivienne's magic ability is only a little bit left.).
The branches were lit, and Vivienne was asked to hold the torch. Du Wei hugged enough branches, and the two came to the side of the beach. Very violent.
In the darkness, the eye-catching fire can be seen even from far away!
Du Wei sighed, this is the only hope. I just hope that there are some passing ships who see the bonfire here and send someone over, so that the two of them may be saved.
After finishing everything, Du Wei was exhausted. He lay sprawled on the beach, sighing a long time.
Just then... Goo!
Du Wei froze for a moment, then heard another...
Goo!
He sat up and looked at Vivian next to him with a half-smile.
"I'm sorry, my belly." The bonfire next to her made the female magician's face glow red, and Vivian clutched her belly in embarrassment: "I'm hungry."
"Me too." Du Wei sighed: "Unfortunately, at the current location, we haven't found any small animals on this island. Otherwise, it would be nice to catch two and have an open-air barbecue here."
"Then... so, what about the wild fruit?" Probably hunger made the female magician's thinking a little smarter.
"Look around, where are there any fruit trees? Not even that kind of berry bushes. Only leaves and weeds." Du Wei sighed: "Otherwise, do I still need you to remind?"
"Then, where are the fish?" The female magician looked at Du Wei pitifully: "Is there any fish in the sea?"
Du Wei shrugged, he looked at Vivian: "Can you swim?"
The sorceress shook her head.
"Neither can I." Du Wei smiled wryly: "I'm a landlubber just like you. I don't have the ability to catch fish in the water. Besides, I have already searched on the coast during the day. I only find some empty shellfish and conch, unless your stomach can digest tough shells?"
"But...but I'm really hungry." Vivienne pouted her small mouth pitifully, and blinked at Du Wei.
"I can't help it, let's sleep all night first. When it dawns tomorrow, I will find a way to get a long branch to see if I can find fish in the diving place by the sea... Not now, it is dark now, we all If you can't swim, if you drown, you're finished."
Vivienne sighed, she could only sit down obediently... Inadvertently, she sat beside Du Wei.
"Let's talk, chatting can forget hunger." Du Wei smiled: "We haven't got to know each other formally yet. Speaking of it, we are now friends in need."
"How to forget it, understand?"
"For example..." Du Wei thought for a while, he hugged his knees and looked at the stars in the sky: "For example, you are so young, you don't seem to be older than me, right? How did you become a great magician? It's an amazing thing."
"I don't know." Vivienne also hugged her knees like Du Wei, and sighed softly: "I have been with my teacher since I was a child, and I have never gone out. This is the first time Twice."
Du Wei turned his head to look at this little silly girl, and suddenly smiled: "Actually, your voice is pretty nice, sweet and soft. If you don't stutter, it will be even better."
"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 said with a smile: "Okay, tell me about you, how did you become an eighth-level magician?" Yes! At such a young age, you have achieved such an achievement, I am afraid that you are the same in the entire empire."
"What?" Vivian looked at Du Wei blankly.
Du Wei sighed, smiled wryly and said, "Hey, I'm complimenting you, you should at least give me a reaction."
"Ah... I'm sorry, I..." Vivienne was a little flustered again.
"Silly girl." Du Wei shook his head: "Do you seem to know nothing except magic?"
Afterwards, Du Wei chatted with Vivian patiently for a while, and Vivian told Du Wei some of her own situation with great difficulty.
She, Vivienne Yang, has been learning magic with her teacher since as long as she can remember.
However, no matter what Du Wei asked about her teacher's identity, the little silly girl just gritted her teeth and refused to reveal a word, even Du Wei's formulaic words could not be used.
For the time being, let her teacher be an outsider.
Vivian lived with her teacher in a secret place since she was a child, and according to her, it was also in a deep mountain. In the past ten years, Vivienne has only been out of the house twice. Other than that, she has stayed at home almost all the time to study magic.
All her work every day is to learn all kinds of magic knowledge, recite all kinds of weird and difficult magic, and...help the teacher wash clothes.
"Wash clothes?" Du Wei smiled: "Do you also do laundry?"
He took Vivienne's little hand and looked at it: "Such a soft little hand doesn't seem to be able to do those housework."
"I, I will!" Vivienne blushed, and she didn't know whether it was because Du Wei didn't believe her, or because she was shy because Du Wei pulled her hands: "I, I can use magic to wash... just cast a spell , the clothes can be washed by themselves.”
"Oh... isn't that the same as a washing machine..." Du Wei's heart moved.
Vivienne went out twice, the first time was taken by her teacher to the headquarters of the magic union in the imperial capital, where she participated in a secret and undisclosed magic level assessment.
Before that assessment, her teacher once said, "Let those idiots in the Magic Union stare out their eyes! Let them know what a genius I have cultivated!!"
And the result was... the magicians who were in charge of that assessment from the Magic Union almost had their eyes popped out.
Because, from a magical point of view, Vivienne is indeed a genius! And a genius among geniuses!
A fourteen-year-old eighth-level magician! It is almost like going through the history of magicians, and it has never happened before! !
"Well, that was a year ago." Vivienne was a little embarrassed: "Then those magicians originally wanted me to stay in the imperial capital, but Mr. Ke Ke said that the clothes at home were not washed, so I still brought them with me. I'm going back."
"Hmph, your teacher doesn't want you to be lured away by people from the Magic Union." Of course, Du Wei is not as simple as Vivian: "An eighth-level magician is a very important figure anywhere! Even in the magic guild, how many great magicians above the eighth level can there be? Hmph... and you are still so young."
"Yeah." Vivienne blinked her eyes, she couldn't quite understand Du Wei's words, but she soon became happy: "I passed that assessment, the teacher was very happy, he gave me one The gift is the scorching... scorching... scorching sun!"
"The dragon?"
"Yeah!" Vivienne talked about her magic pet, and immediately she was in high spirits: "That's it!"
Du Wei sighed... Who is her teacher? He actually took a dragon as a gift to give to someone! !
This is not a cat or a dog! It's a train
And Vivienne stayed in the teacher's secluded place for another year... every day was still learning magic and doing laundry.
After that, the latest trip was her second visit to the outside world. It was to catch back the escaping fear phantom... that was her teacher's pet.
"Wait!" Du Wei jumped up suddenly, his face was a little excited, and he looked at Vivienne: "Where's the phantom? Is it still on you?"
Vivian nodded her head, she untied her robe, and the little phantom was locked in a small cage, hanging on Vivian's waist.
"Stomach, tummy, you're saved now!" Du Wei swallowed with a hungry green light in his eyes, "Hey, little silly girl! We don't have to be hungry anymore. Well, this little thing, meaty Huh, it looks very fat! Although there are no seasonings here, but after peeling the skin and grilling it, the taste should be pretty good."
"..." Vivienne blinked her eyes, and it took a long time to understand Du Wei's words, and suddenly she screamed: "Ah [you can't do it!! You, you, you, you can't eat my tweets! It is The teacher's pet, eat it, I, I, I... "
"I can't control that much..." Du Wei said loudly: "We have been hungry for a day, if we continue to be hungry, we will have no energy tomorrow, and we don't know if we can catch fish!"
"No, no, no, no... Don't eat my chirp." Vivien hugged the little cage in her arms, trying to prevent Du Wei from snatching it: "Don't eat my chirp."
"Hmph! Then eat your dragon!" Du Wei said loudly, "If you cut off a piece of meat and eat it, it won't die, right?"
"Eat... eat eat eat eat eat dragon?"
Vivienne felt like she was going to faint.
At first I thought that this little nobleman seemed to be quite a nice person, but in the blink of an eye he turned into a devil again!
eat dragon? Almighty God! Go around like poor little Vivian! I've never heard in my entire life anyone who would dare to shoot a dragon... and still think of it as food!
"No, no, don't eat my scorching sun! No, no, don't eat my chirping... Wow... Dad, mom..." Seeing Du Wei's vicious look, Vivienne launched another offensive of tears.
Du Wei was helpless, looking at the crying little silly girl, he could only shake his head: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work... Huh, okay! I'll leave it up to you tonight. I'll try to catch fish tomorrow. If I catch fish tomorrow If we don’t get any fish, then we can’t starve to death! If we lose our lives, then don’t talk about anything! If there’s really no other way, we have no choice but to take this phantom first!”
At this moment, it was not only Vivienne who was crying, but even the little phantom, who was as fat as a meat ball in a cage, this kind of high-level monster who could understand human language, couldn't help trembling with fright after hearing Du Wei's "declaration". A pair of bean-sized eyes looked at Du Wei foolishly, and his fat body shrank into a ball and trembled.
After hearing Du Wei's words, Vivian was a little relieved, but she quickly prayed in her heart...
Almighty God! Bless poor little Vivienne... let this devil catch some fish tomorrow... oh no no no, it's not poor little Vivienne's gluttony, it's just to save Jiujiu's life... Uh, if I can, Little Vivian can not eat fish, uh... Or, just eat a small one... Please God Almighty... Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... But, I'm hungry too, Vivienne wants to eat fish too...
