"Master, Hurrington, come and see what this is?" Alice shouted loudly, running towards Harmony while holding the bottle.
Hurrington took the bottle and looked at it: "It's a drift bottle."
"Drift bottle?" Alice seemed to find something interesting, and asked, "What is a drift bottle? Is it different from ordinary bottles?"
Bing Zhixie said: "Drifting bottle can be said to be a wishing bottle. The person who throws the bottle puts his wish or story into the bottle, letting it drift with the waves, hoping to be picked up by other people and get the blessing of that person. The average seafarer will also write the reason and experience of the death into the drift bottle before the death, to let others know."
Hurrington found a roll of paper and wiped off the algae mud on the bottle. Seeing that there was no wishing sand in the bottle, he said: "This should not be a wishing bottle. There are usually five-colored wishing sand in the wishing bottle, or at least it should be Put some sea sand in."
"Then this is a death bottle?" Alice asked.
"Maybe it is." Hurrington smashed the cork stopper on the bottle. The cork was already soaked like mud, and it was rotten with a slight poke. He poured the bottle upside down and only dumped the seawater immersed in it, but the paper roll couldn't be poured out anymore. He had to break the bottle to get the small paper roll inside.
The paper roll was old yellow with a small rope tied on it, and Hurrington discovered that the paper roll had been soaked in sea water for so long, but it had not been soaked. It turned out that the paper was sealed with a waterproof fish membrane. This fish film is taken from a layer of transparent soft skin inside a marine fish. It is very waterproof, and seafarers often use it to seal some important documents. It is a common thing on sea ships.
Hurrington opened the scroll and looked at it. It turned out to be a letter of death.
‘We are a fleet departing from the port of Malindoya, ready to go everywhere to sell our goods. When we sailed to the Bunanisha Sea, we encountered a sea crash. The tsunami sank all five ships of our fleet, leaving only the "Jiaotao" and the "Haiya". Later, the cargo ship "Jingtao" also sank. All the crew members survived on the "Haya". The food was quickly eaten up and they had to rely on catching sea fish for food. Later, we found that we were lost, sailing for several months according to the sea route, and we never reached our destination. There was a terrifying scurvy on the ship. It didn’t take long for the captain to die, and the ‘Haiya’ was taken over by the first officer...’
Alice interrupted the letter and asked, "What is the first officer?"
"The first officer is simply the first captain." The answer was Bing Zhixie.
"Oh." Alice nodded.
‘We had a sea burial for the dead captain and seamen. The crew all thought that the ‘Haiya’ had fallen into the sea of ghosts and could only be lost in this sea area forever, which made the morale of the ship even worse. After a few days, the first officer decided not to follow the charts. He decided to go east, but he still did not get out of trouble. When I wrote this letter, I still didn't see the hope of survival. I don't know what our destiny will be. Maybe I will die on the lost ocean one after another. Maybe the first officer will decide to let us join the'Haiya 'Buried in the sea together, so I wrote this drift bottle, it is the last words of all the seamen of our "Haya"...The Holy Garden calendar July 6647, lookout-Sid Rosen. ’
At the end, Alice was surprised, "July 6647, isn't it hundreds of years from now?"
Bing Zhixue said: "Today is February 2, 7404, the holy garden calendar, this drift bottle has been more than 700 years."
Hurrington said: "And the area of Bunanisha mentioned in the letter is the sea 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 are still in the west after the trek, this The drift bottle floated at least hundreds of thousands of nautical miles!"
Alice was surprised, the drift bottle actually drifted from the other side of the mainland to this side.
Bing Zhixie said: "This drift bottle has nothing to do with us, as long as we are not as lost as they are."
"Hey, you can say something good or not." Hurrington said reluctantly, thinking that if his group were lost like the "Haya" on the sea, it would be better to die than to watch. Watching myself get sick, mournful, and slowly rot...
Bingzhixie Hurrington started work, repaired the place that could be repaired, and then took off again.
At night, there is no star, and there is no way to distinguish the direction, so the "Harmony" has to drift slowly. The three sit on the deck and have nothing to say, each doing their own thing.
Young Jake propped himself lazily in Alice's arms and shook himself. At this time, it just woke up, just when it was full of energy. It jumped from Alice and found that General Shaw was sitting on the small bench drinking a delicious ale, and he was suddenly angry, apparently still revenge for the last thing, and he would bully it when he ran over.
General Shock saw Yerke running, scared and yelled, and fled with a beer mug. These days he could be bullied by Yerke.
Alice watched them chasing each other, and was amused: "Little Jacques still has a lot of revenge. It's been so long, and I still remember it."
General Shaw couldn't run over Yeke, and his head was constantly struck by the iron plate in Yeke's hand, making it cry in pain.
Hurrington sighed: "Finally, someone is talking, I'm almost suffocating." He also knew what happened between General Shock and Jacques, and laughed: "Now Jacques gets angry when he sees it drinking. In the future, General Shock will have to quit drinking."
As the saying goes, the rabbit is in a hurry and there is fire. General Shaw was beaten by a pan of iron and his ears were buzzing and slamming loudly. He also caught fire all at once, and a water magic hit him.
Jacques was chasing anxiously, but he didn't avoid it, and was suddenly drenched in its warm fur by the magic of cold water. This time it was even more angry, dropped the iron pan, and jumped on General Shaw to bite.
Jacques’ teeth are not big, but it hurts when he bites. General Shaw crying around Alice’s chair and pulling Alice’s skirt from time to time for help.
Alice didn't help, but hummed: "Who told you to make trouble every time you get drunk, and also stained several barrels of beer, so it's okay to let Jake teach you."
Bing Zhixie looked at the two mischievous goblins and couldn't help thinking of his injuries. When he was living in Sophia's school dormitory, he met Goblin, Pike and Robin Goodfield. Thinking about it, there was a sweet smile on his face.
Hurrington chatted with Alice for a while, and seeing Bingzhixie's expression uncharacteristically, asked, "Hey, what are you thinking, smiling so ambiguously?"
Bing Zhixie returned to his mind and immediately seized his expression: "No." He said: "I suddenly remembered a story."
"What story." Alice straightened up at once, and she got excited when she heard a story, especially the story told by Master.
"It's a story about the monster's drifting bottle." Bing Zhixie recalled and began to say: "It is said that there is a drifting bottle with a monster closed in the sea, floating alone, once he can leave the bottle to live a happy life. , But he did not, because he fell in love with a girl. The moment he met the girl was destined to fall in love with her. He decided to give the girl happiness until the girl died. One day he accidentally discovered a secret In fact, the girl only appeared to get his power. He ran to the beach and found the girl and asked her: Do you love me? Have you ever loved me? The girl said; What is love? Is love together? After the girl pulls The sword pierced his heart, and at the same time when he saw the girl with his back to his right hand, he pointed straight to the sky and said: Only then can you remember me forever. After the girl jumped into the sea, he did not think the girl cheated After he was ready to take revenge on mankind, in the girl’s hometown he knew that the girl was finally pointing to the sky, and I swear to heaven, in this life and this world, except you and I will never be in love. Finally he realized that he had fallen in love with the girl is not revenge But it was too late, so he sealed himself in a bottle and accompanied the girl forever in the sea."
Although Bing Zhixie spoke briefly, Alice was so moved that even tears fell and sobbed and said, "What a touching story, if I were like the girl, I had a drift bottle that loved me so much The monster is just fine."
Hurrington said: "Isn't it a story, as for this?"
Alice hit him and wept: "You are a big man, and you only know the layer in your heart, how can you know what love is."
"I...I'm a pervert? I..." Hurrington pointed at himself for a moment and couldn't argue.
"My head," Alice said: "This romantic and touching love story was actually listened to by someone with a dirty mind like you, and it simply defiled the purity of this story."
"You...you..." Hurrington was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
Alice longed for her face: "This kind of everlasting love, I hope I can also meet. Master, you said there will be such a love story between me and you?"
Bing Zhixie was startled and quickly waved his hand; "No, absolutely not."
Hurrington finally relieved his chest, and dared not provoke her again, fearing that she would say anything that would make her vomit blood. In fact, Hurrington is quite eloquent, but when she confronts Alice, she has a shadow of the past. Otherwise, he wouldn't cheat so many deep boudoirs and innocent girls with his insincere tongue, and he wouldn't cheat so much money of the rich children.
Hurrington looked at the ice child evil up and down like a monster.
"Why?" Bing Zhixie said lukewarmly.
Hurrington said: "This is not like you, you usually only preach. Today it is a miracle to actually tell a love story."
"Yes, Master, Alice also feels very strange. Do you want to... a woman?" Alice's big eyes looked at Bingzhi Evil Road without blinking.
Bing Zhixie turned his head and looked at it elsewhere: "How can this story be read when I read a book. I picked up the drift bottle today and only remembered this story, by the way." Suddenly said again: " If you feel bad, I will stop talking about these messy things in the future."
Alice waved her hand quickly: "No, I like to listen to this kind of story. Master, tell me more."
Bing Zhixie said with a straight face: "No, I only read this story."

(Attachment: One of the most famous drifting bottles in history is said to have been dropped by Columbus. After inspecting an American island in 1492, Columbus worried that he could not return to Europe, so he wrote a letter to the Queen of Spain, together with the one he painted. A map of the Americas was sealed together in a bottle, thrown into the Atlantic Ocean, and it was expected to float to Europe. As a result, the bottle was not discovered until 300 years later, until the 1850s.)
