Guo Guo was startled, then grabbed Jiang Si's hand that was holding the hem of his clothes, and said pleasantly, "Jiang Si'er?"

Jiang Si, who was lying on the bed, had a painful expression on his face. Anselm was very experienced in taking care of others, so he fetched warm water, helped Jiang Si up, and fed him a bowl.

This time Jiang Si finally opened his eyes, his voice was weak, but his words were clear: "Brother Guo will take me away, let's go together."

Anselm frowned, showing a worried look: "Jiang Si, the last thing your mother asked me to do was to watch you grow up."

Jiang Si's eyes moved to Anselm, "Uncle Anselm, I have grown up, this is the decision I made."

"...Even if you know, you may never have the chance to go to the other side of the sea, and die directly in the ice floes of the reef?"

Jiang Si was weak, but his attitude did not waver in the slightest, "I'm sure the timing is not right, but these are friends I can trust and trust. I just heard that they were hunted down to save me. Now I won't Leave them alone."

He grabbed Guo Guo's hand and used his strength to sit up straighter, "Uncle Anselm, come with us! Besides my good friend Guo Guo, there are brother Lucas and Lan White."

For a moment, Anselm's expression changed slightly, but the light in his eyes finally went out, "Forget it, I won't go, the land over there... has no place for me, this land For 20 years, I've belonged here."

"Jiang Si, since you have made a decision, then..."

To Guo Guo's surprise, Anselm, who was exiled by the Holy See, actually made a very standard Holy See blessing ceremony, "May the god of luck stay with you and bless you to reach the opposite side of the sea safely, and grow up forever." Live a hundred years."

Jiang Si's head, which had been hit hard, seemed to be still uncomfortable. Hearing Anselm's refusal, he jumped off the bed and fell to the ground because he couldn't stand still.

Anselm, who had been unsmiling just now, showed a very kind smile at this time, "I've grown up so much, why are my hands and feet still the same as when I was a child?"

Guo Guo helped Jiang Si who fell down: "Time is running out, Mr. Anselm, where should I get water?"

"Clear water is drawn from the well. Jiang Si and his family still have leftover flour and large water tanks in their house. You can move them directly to the boat. The wooden house directly opposite is right outside his house."

Anselm was clear: "Get up, Jiang Si, your time is too tight, hurry home and pack some things you must bring."

Jiang Si recovered a little bit from the dizziness and nausea, "Uncle, then my dog..."

Anselm didn't need him to finish, he had already understood his meaning, "Don't worry, one, two, three, four, five, and six treasures, I will raise all six for you. And your shop, just as we said before, I'll help you sell it."

After saying this, Anselm went back to the room again, took out a large pile of thick animal furs, and said: "These furs have been tanned, and they are good materials for sewing winter coats and hats."

"These are the expenses for buying your house. When you get it on the land over there, you can sell it for a good price. After all, you will always need money when you go to the world over there."

Jiang Si looked like he was about to cry, "Uncle Anselm..."

Anselm laughed, and he stroked Jiang Sijiang's short red hair.

At this moment, he seemed to see Jiang Si as a child wrapped around him more than ten years ago, and the picture was still in front of him.

But time is too fast, in a blink of an eye, he has grown so big.

"The chick will eventually grow up and take to the skies. Even if there is a risk of falling to pieces, young people should go forward."

Anselm smiled and said, "Don't waste time on me, go."

In the next less than an hour, everything was in chaos, and when he thought about it afterwards, Jiang Si didn't even remember the specific details.

Jiang Si stumbled and ran back to the old shop where he had lived all his life, wrapped up the two pieces of clothes he often wore, thought for a while, and brought two new pieces of clothes for Guo Guo for later use.

He couldn't bear it, he had too many memories left here, and when he made a choice at the last moment, looking at each piece, it turned out to be full of memories.

Jiang Si endured the headache and dizziness, grabbed several pieces in a row, and finally returned rationally and put them back.

The things he is most reluctant to part with are the animal bone bracelet that his mother made for him when he was a child, and the white rose pocket watch that his mother gave him.

With only these two things full of blessings and memories, he has infinite courage to rush towards the unknown future.

The fresh water freshly pumped from the well and the last ingredients left in Jiang Si’s family were collected by Guo Guo and moved to the sled.

This big sled was the one that Lucas brought them over just now, but its real owner was Anselm.By this time Anselm was at the side of the sled, ready to take them off.

Jiang Si came out of the house and closed the familiar door as usual, but he knew in his heart that this might be the last time he closed the door.

The sky is already light.

Everyone in the village heard the noise and came out from every household one after another. They came to Jiang Si's door together to bid farewell to the child who had lived together for many years. They watched and grew up here.

Jiang Si's eyes turned red immediately, everyone came to hug him one by one without saying anything unnecessary, and sent brief but sincere blessings, sincerely wishing that he can reach the other side of the sea safely.

The big boy kept nodding vigorously, and secretly wiped away his tears with his hands. Guo Guo could see clearly, but also felt a little soft-hearted.

Jiang Si reminded him of a monster brother of his. Although the two of them were cultivating human form, they were separated from each other, but that child was also so cute when they lived a hard life.

Looking at Jiang Si, Guo Guo couldn't help being a little more indulgent. Although he knew the time was urgent, he didn't say anything to interrupt the farewell.

Most of the people in this village bear the brand of sinners on their faces, obviously they were all brought in by the Holy See, so the language of the village is still the lingua franca that Guo Guo is familiar with.

After all kinds of hardships and dangers, they finally found a stable life in this barren land, unwilling to give up everything and run towards an unknown future full of dangers.

Maybe they once thought about leaving, but they have honed their fighting spirit after a long life, and accepted the status quo with the flow.

But now looking at Jiang Si, whose eyes are full of vigor and hope, they seem to see another young self, rushing forward bravely towards the dream they have never fulfilled and dare not try.

Breaking the silence to bid farewell, it was the follower in the village who shouted loudly: "Jiang Si, hurry up, people from the priest's village are chasing you!"

Anselm got into the sled and controlled his dozen dogs, "Let's go!"

Time was almost running out, and with no more time left, Jiang Si and Guo Guo jumped onto the sled one by one, and left in the dust under the eyes of everyone.

Until the sled turned into small dots and disappeared at the end of the mountain, the villagers came back to their senses and stood spontaneously at the entrance of the village.

They wanted to block the pursuers sent by the priest for as long as possible, and buy a little more time for the children they watched grow up.

After the sled ran for about 10 minutes, Guo Guo finally saw the coastline again.

Early in the morning, people were already busy on the beach. Lucas was standing on the shore, and at sea, as he said, there was a ferry boat docked on the shore.

Lan White was standing leaning against the wooden pillars of the small pier. Seeing Guo Guo approaching, he straightened up a little.

The sled stopped in front of the small pier. Lucas didn't say a word of nonsense, and took the lead in lifting the food on the sled and stacking it on the ferry boat.

Lan White also came to help. The two big men are very agile and have experience in moving things on board.

Water, food, clothing, charcoal fire, tools, herbs and other materials were put on the boat in an orderly and sorted manner without any mistakes.

Before finally boarding the boat, Jiang Si stood on the shore, his nose and eye sockets were red, he hugged Anselm reluctantly, and asked softly, "Uncle Anselm, are you really not going with me? "

Hearing these words, Lucas looked over suddenly, Anselm smiled gently, and finally shook his head firmly.

Jiang Si knew that this was a farewell, so he held back his tears and raised his head, saying seriously: "My mother taught me common characters, but you taught me miscellaneous mathematics and many principles of life. I will always miss you, I wish you good health and success throughout your life.”

Anselm stood by the lake to see them off, their boat started, and Anselm's figure became smaller and smaller until there was no longer the familiar distance in the past.

They came to the broad sea, and the sun rose in the east, reflecting a fiery red on the sea.

As if sailing in the fire, they finally lead to the road to rebirth from the ashes.

The priests arrived, but their boat was far away from the coastline.

But if the most powerful bow-archer in the village draws a strong bow and throws fire, it is still possible to set their boats on fire and let them sink in the sea.

So this team of elite archers raised their strong bows and quietly waited for the priest's order.

Under Guo Guo's careful care, the priest, who had been sick for most of the time, was finally able to withstand the pursuit in the middle of the night.

But at this moment, she looked at the figure of Guo Guo, huddled in the small boat and went away. Whether she wanted to shoot the fire-arrow and shoot-through the boat was only in her mind.

At this time, she found Guo Guo's letter pressed on the pier with a stone.

That was specially reserved for her by Guo Guo.

The letter introduced in detail the recipe of the Ma Xing Shi Gan Decoction she was taking, and explained to the priest the real function of "Devil's Grass", also known as "Ephedra".

After learning that he regained his health, he used the "devil's weed" which was regarded as an unknown in the village era, the priest did not lose his composure and burst into a rage.

She carefully read the letter Guo Guo left for her.

Guo Guo didn't explain the superstitious nature of the devil's weed too much, but just left her a paragraph.

[You have the will to lead your people on the right path, then it is time to abandon the unreasonable old rules and make more reasonable changes.

Whether it's devil's weed or other bad customs, if you really have the determination to scrape your bones and heal your wounds, then...these "outsiders" who are rejected by you will be very good teachers.

This matter is not easy to do, and it may take ten or 20 years to implement long-term reforms little by little.

But if it's you, I'm sure you can do it.

We may never see each other again, but I hope you will be healthy and happy all your life.Sorry for me and the twins, I can't make sweet soup for the two of them myself, I have attached a few dessert recipes at the end of the letter, I hope they will like it.

——Your friend, Guo Guo]

The light of the first day was almost touching, but the priestess still did not give the order to take action. She looked at the direction of Guo Guo's departure and sighed after all.

The paper was rattled by the sea breeze. The priest carefully held the letter on his chest and sighed, "Forget it, let's go back."

She looked at Guo Guo, who was almost invisible, with a sense of relief, "My friend, I wish you a safe trip and a long life."

On the boat that was gradually out of sight, Lan White was swinging the oars rapidly, pushing the boat very fast.

He said that he was a sailor, and it really didn't seem like a lie. His posture in rowing in the sea was fast and steady, and even Lucas, who was a prodigal swordsman, couldn't match his proficiency and strength.

Watching the frozen land of Iceland keep shrinking and the four companions on the boat temporarily out of danger, Guo Guo finally let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Where is our boat parked?"

Lucas turned around when he heard the sound: "What?"

The sea area near the island is relatively shallow and there are many hidden reefs, so it is not suitable for large ships to dock.

In Guo Guo's understanding, usually in such a sea area, people will choose such a small boat to ferry people from the shore to a deeper sea area, and then board the big ship from there.

Clinker Lucas smiled smartly: "There is no big boat, only this."

Guo Guo: "!?"

"There were two big ships before, but one by one, they all ran aground on the ice floes and reefs or hit the iceberg and sank to the bottom, so they were all gone."

Guo Guo: "..."

Lucas: "Although the surviving people came to this island with me, they have no courage to come out again. They would rather spend the rest of their lives in this place where the birds don't shit."

The handsome uncle Lucas looked open-minded: "No one is dead. If you look at life and death, you will fully enjoy the fun of jumping in front of the gate of death every time."

Guo Guo finally confirmed the unfortunate news, and said in disbelief: "...so the boat you mentioned is this small broken ferry...you want to leave here on this boat!? No! Stop it, this is Thief ship, let me down!"

But no matter how much he yelled, it was useless. The boat had already left the shallow sea area, and sailed staggeringly into the endless blue ocean.
