Chapter 442: Can We Still Go Home?
Fang Xiaoxiao glanced at the Big Dipper in the sky, roughly dividing it into east, south, west, and north. After determining her direction, she rowed her boat straight south.
They didn't have much time left. According to the news they had just heard in the lower deck of the ship, the bandits planned to kill all the hundreds of people on board and dump their bodies into the river after passing the canal transport commissioner.
Li Wan'er's eyes were wary, and her face showed worry.
"Xiao Xiao, what if all those people were killed?"
"Not only will they, but they might also be thrown into rivers to feed the big fish."
Fang Xiaoxiao didn't think at all.
She didn't want to be a pretentious person. As the saying goes, life and death are predestined, and fate is not something she can control. Rather than worrying herself, she might as well turn a blind eye.
The two followed the waves of the river, and after being washed by wave after wave, they finally saw a deserted island.
Without hesitation, Fang Xiaoxiao quickened her pace and rowed towards her destination.
The island wasn't particularly large or small, and judging from its vegetation and landscape, the two couldn't help but exclaim that it was a paradise on earth.
After arriving on the island, Fang Xiaoxiao pulled the princess along to quickly search the area within a 100-meter radius of the cave in front of them.
She doesn't dare to expand the scope to half an island or even the entire island now.
When facing an unfamiliar environment, the best approach is to prioritize safety.
Fang Xiaoxiao and the princess searched the area and found that the island was covered with lush vegetation and had many wild fruits that could be used to quench their thirst and hunger.
The two returned to the cave with their bounty of wild fruits.
Light the fire and start cooking.
All in one go.
Although I'm eating vegetarian today, I should be able to eat meat tomorrow.
Fang Xiaoxiao set up several suggested mechanisms in the woods.
These mechanisms are capable of catching small animals such as hares and pheasants.
"Come on, Princess, let's have a toast to celebrate our survival."
"Xiaoxiao, can we still go home?"
Li Wan'er, covered in dirt and curled up with her legs wrapped around her waist, asked weakly with endless sorrow in her eyes.
In front of her was a pile of firewood, the firelight scorching her delicate face, making her look somewhat sad.
Fang Xiaoxiao put a wild fruit in her mouth, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, wiped her lips, and smiled.
"Don't worry, we'll definitely get home. Not only will we get home, but we'll also bring back lots of delicious food."
She shifted her position, moving closer to the little white rabbit, and put her hand on the other's shoulder.
"Let's get a good night's sleep tonight. Maybe a merchant ship will pass by tomorrow morning. When we were looking for food, I realized that this is not a deserted island."
As soon as she said that, Li Wan'er's small eyes lit up, a hint of surprise flashing across them, and she pressed for an answer.
"Xiao Xiao, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course. When you went to the toilet just now, I deliberately took a few steps forward and saw a small house. If it were a deserted island, how could there be a house?"
"Ah, no wonder I couldn't find you when I came back. So you abandoned me and left first. Xiao Xiao, you're so mean!"
"Oh, Princess, what are you saying? I came back later!"
Fang Xiaoxiao and the two of them chatted for a while longer.
At this moment, Li Wan'er was no longer as lost and sad as before. Now, her eyes were filled with a hint of expectation, hoping that tomorrow morning, just like in Fang Xiao's novel, a merchant ship would pass by here.
The next day, at the crack of dawn, Li Wan'er got up very early, which was unusual for her.
She emerged from the cave with anticipation, hoping the merchant ship would arrive soon.
On the other hand, Fang Xiaoxiao was sleeping soundly and even had a very beautiful dream.
In her dream, she was eating at a five-star hotel, surrounded by seven incompetent husbands.
Among them are Pei Yan, Ouyang Tuoba, Zhou Wenjian...
In short, this dream was so beautiful that it made my mouth water.
"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao, wake up, wake up! A boat is coming!"
Li Wan'er squatted on the ground and reached out to shake Fang Xiaoxiao, who was drooling.
Excitement filled her eyes.
Just now, she saw a giant ship sailing towards the island, carrying a flag with the character "域" (Yu) on it.
Although they didn't know what kind of ship it was, as long as it was a ship, it meant they could go back.
Fang Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes and wiped away her drool.
"If there's a boat, then let's get on it."
"Oh, Xiaoxiao, you're still half asleep. Wake up, I'm too scared to go alone."
Li Wan'er was like an ant on a hot pan, constantly jumping around.
Russian qing.
Fang Xiao squinted as she looked at the giant ship that was getting closer and closer to their small island.
This ship was ridiculously large, more than twice the size of the merchant ships we had been on before, and probably three or four stories high. It was quite frightening.
She frantically waved at the approaching ship.
"Hey! Here, here, come here quickly!"
Soon the ship docked, and several blond, blue-eyed bearded men and women in Western-style dresses disembarked.
They looked the two women from the Dayu Dynasty up and down with curious eyes.
One of the burly men, who spoke the official language of the Great Yu Dynasty, said respectfully.
"May I ask, madam, why are you two at ***?"
***?
Upon hearing this familiar term, Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim.
"You said this island is called ***, may I ask if this island belongs to my Great Yu Dynasty?"
"My lady is quite the joker. Your Emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty once said: 'Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king; on the shores of the earth, all people are subjects of the king.'"
The man from the Western Regions spoke as if reminiscing about the past.
Their Western Regions are now a vassal state of the Dayu Dynasty, and they have to come to the capital to pay tribute every year.
They once boasted that all the land of the Western Regions belonged to the people of the Western Regions. Later, the emperor of the Dayu Dynasty came and brought hundreds of thousands of troops. In the end, they called themselves subjects of the Dayu Dynasty.
Fang Xiaoxiao felt a surge of pride when she heard the poem this guy was reciting. It seems that the emperor of the Dayu Dynasty is not just a good-for-nothing. At least he can make other countries submit to him, which can be considered as some achievement.
The group chatted for a while longer.
Fang Xiaoxiao and her companion then learned that the large ship from the Western Regions had just returned from the capital and was planning to travel to the south of the Yangtze River.
However, when they returned, they discovered that the princess and her three maids had disappeared, so they deliberately stayed in *** to check if she was there.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, and big wavy hair?
When Li Wan'er and Fang Xiaoxiao heard the man from the other side, who spoke the official language of the Dayu Dynasty, describe their princess's appearance, they both felt a shiver run down their spines.
They had just heard Zhong Zicheng mention blonde, blue-eyed women on the merchant ship the night before, and there were exactly four of them.
The man from the Western Regions immediately sensed something was wrong from the surprised looks in their eyes and quickly asked.
"Madam Fang, may I ask if you have seen our lovely Princess Los and her three maids?"
“Well, Nimhar, I think we have indeed met your princess, but…”
Fang Xiaoxiao looked at the tall, handsome man with a high nose, blue eyes, and a goatee, and replied softly.
Upon hearing that the other party had indeed met the princess, Nimhar clapped his hands excitedly and laughed heartily.
"Now that Madam Fang has seen the princess, could you please tell me where the princess is? We should set sail immediately and try to find her as soon as possible."
Fang Xiao's eyes darted around, her mind racing as she tried to figure out how to tell this rough-looking man.
She couldn't be sure if their princess was still alive, or if any remains of her body.
Zhong Zicheng and his group were not only cruel, but also utterly inhumane; otherwise, they wouldn't have committed the massacre of the city.
