Harry Potter: We are all descendants of our ninth uncle!
Chapter 261 I choose to believe in Zheng He’s strict selection! (page 12)
......
September 1995, 9!
As all the children at Hogwarts begin their fifth year in the wizarding world...
Li Xian and his good friend Jack have been drifting aimlessly in the vast sea on the pirate ship named Black Pearl for nearly half a month!
"Calculating the time, today seems to be the first day of school!"
Li Xian looked at the pocket watch on his chest that had completely failed due to magnetic field interference and said. Jack on the side was holding a bucket that had dried up to the point where not a drop of water was left and said:
"Counting the time, we haven't had water for seven days. If this continues, I really can't bear it anymore!"
"Where's your compass?"
Li Xian glanced at the compass on Jack's chest, and then said:
"Why did you lose control at the critical moment?"
"This thing requires sincerity and spirituality!"
Jack looked at the pocket watch in his arms and said:
"But now all I can think about is water...and there's fucking sea water around here, but what I want is to drink water!"
Li Xian took a deep breath and tried to avoid wasting energy.
Now every moment of consumption is very detrimental to him!
He looked at the boundless sea and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"It's no wonder that technology will develop so much in the next few decades, but humans still can't say that they have conquered the sea 100%!"
"Conquer the sea?"
Jack said disdainfully:
"That's simply delusional!"
In Jack's eyes, he never thought about conquering the sea.
On the contrary, he and the sea complement each other...it is the sea that created him, and at the same time, he gave the sea a touch of legend.
Of course, these are all for later.
And this is what happened after they found drinking water!
finally......
On September 9st, the first day of school, their ship finally docked under the auspicious blessing.
but--
"Why are there no marks on the map?"
Li Xian looked at the land in front of him in confusion, but it had never appeared on their navigation chart.
He carefully judged that his position was close to that in the Middle East.
but......
But there is no sign on the map.
Compared to Li Xian's caution, Jack was much more indifferent.
He looked at the land that had been missing for a long time, and he couldn't wait to rush forward and kiss the land.
Because there is land, they are naturally closer to drinking water!
Sure enough, after some searching, they found a fruit forest where a fruit that looked like a pear grew.
Jack looked at Li Xian, who had always seen a lot of things. Li Xian took a careful look at the strange-looking fruit in front of him——
"Isn't this a quince?"
"What wave?"
Jack asked as he picked one off, rubbed it on his clothes, and asked:
"Is it tasty?"
"I haven't eaten it! But..."
Li Xian shook his head:
"This thing definitely doesn't taste good!"
Jack rolled his eyes at Li Xian:
"Huh? You haven't eaten it, so don't jump to conclusions!"
"This is an area close to the sea, near the Middle East! If that's the case... then it will definitely not taste good."
Seeing Jack's disbelieving expression, Li Xian said seriously and firmly: "Believe me! If it were delicious, this food would have been brought back to our Eastern soil by Lord Zheng He! And it would have been popularized there. Got it!"
Jack still didn't care:
"Tch! What if Zheng He doesn't like it?"
Li Xian shook his head helplessly:
"It seems that you don't know how strict Zheng He's selection is! Let's put it this way! Other merchants may have some taste problems when choosing food in the maritime trade. That's because they made the wrong choice, and at most they lost money. . But Master Zheng He made the wrong choice, and he would be beheaded... So Zheng He’s Strict Selection is also commonly known as one of the Nine Clans’ Strict Selection! If you still don’t believe it, you can try it!”
After Jack took a big bite, he originally thought that this fruit that looked like a pear would bring him enough moisture, but it turned out——
"what happened?"
Seeing Jack's choked expression, Li Xian gloated and asked, "Is it delicious?"
"I'm so choked!"
Jack simply swallowed the mouthful of fruit and complained:
“I feel even thirstier after eating it!”
"Knew it!"
Li Xian sighed:
"We must believe that the nine tribes of our ancestors carefully selected the ones that were not brought back for popularization. They are either not delicious, have low yields, or are difficult to plant... Let's go! Go and have a look nearby. There are fruit trees here. , we shouldn’t be too far from the water source!”
......
Time returns to the present again!
To be precise, it is not now, but in the long river of time where the specific time is temporarily uncertain.
Looking at the concrete time flowing around like a river, Hermione had no time to marvel, but after learning about Li Xian's experience of getting the treasure ship, she couldn't wait to ask:
"So, was it when you and Jack set foot on that unknown land that you found this time treasure ship?"
"Correct!"
Li Xian nodded:
"This is the time treasure ship left by Lord Zheng He on that land... Although I don't know what Lord Zheng He experienced there? Why was this ship left there and how did Lord Zheng He get to that land? Mainland China, I’m still investigating it now… If it hadn’t been for something happening here, I probably wouldn’t have come back now!”
"So now... should we go to that continent to continue investigating, or should we go..."
"Of course I'll deal with things about you first!"
Li Xian said:
“Because family is more important than adventure!”
family.......
Hermione felt warm in her heart when she heard this word.
It was as if the icy river of time around him became gentle at this moment.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
To be precise, in the long river of time, Hermione could not feel the passage of time.
She was curious where the ship would dock...
But I know that this is a journey like no other.
When the passage of time stops in 1980...
Hermione smiled.
"Time travel?"
Hermione said proudly:
"I played it when I was in third grade!"
"The time limit of your time turner is limited to the sky!"
After Li Xian turned around and nodded to the time treasure ship, the time treasure ship disappeared from the sight of the two of them again along the river of time.
"But the time treasure ship is different. It can take us to more than ten years, decades, or even hundreds of years ago..."
"So the time now is..."
