Chapter 465: Didi Island
The great route, the new world, the edge of the sea of giant whales, Didi Island.
After nearly half a month of sailing, Lorne and his party finally arrived here. This was their last stop in the new world. Further on, there was the legendary death zone, the windless zone. Only by crossing this dangerous windless belt can they reach the destination of this voyage, Elbaf.
Perhaps because of staying at sea for a long time, Gion felt a little uncomfortable, so he wanted to stay on the shore for one night and replenish supplies by the way. It's just that the giantess Jasmine seemed to recall some bad memories, and refused to go ashore no matter what. And Lorne just had nothing to do, so he went ashore with Qi Yuan.
It happened to be evening at this time. After dinner, the residents of Didi Island finally had a rest after a busy day. They gathered together in groups of twos and threes, chatting about their families. However, after seeing Lorne and Gion passing by, he cast his eyes on them from time to time, his eyes full of vigilance.
If it weren't for the fact that these two people didn't carry any weapons and they looked quite young, they would have thrown them out long ago.
Didi Island is located on the edge of the New World, and it is not on several major shipping routes, so few people visit it. The residents of the island naturally became familiar with each other, so they recognized the two new faces at a glance.
New faces mean outsiders, and in this chaotic era, outsiders don't mean anything good.
Lorne wanted to talk several times, but these residents walked away on their own, as if they didn't see the two of them.
"Sister, you are so beautiful!" A little boy about six or seven years old, wearing washed and whitish suspender jeans, with a runny nose, walked up to the garden, and handed her a yellow wild flower in his hand, Then he wiped his snot and said with a smile.
"Be my girlfriend!"
"Ah?" Gion just stretched out his hand, subconsciously wanting to take the little boy's flower. After hearing the little boy's words, the whole person was stunned and didn't react for a while.
"I'm sorry, she already has a boyfriend." Lorne said with a smile as he pressed Gion's outstretched hand calmly. "You're so young, you mess around everywhere, do your parents know?"
"Hmph!" The little boy gave Lorne a vicious look, and took back his half-grown wildflowers, "I've grown up, and Uncle Peng Ke in the next street said that only those who have girlfriends are real adults. I must prove it to Uncle Peng Ke!"
You need to find a girlfriend to prove that you are an adult? Gion looks a little weird, what kind of strange custom is this? But Lorne next to him seemed to think of something and laughed.
Just when Jinyuan wanted to continue asking, a woman about thirty years old, wearing some faded linen clothes rushed over in a hurry, and said with an apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry, Xiaobao, for causing you trouble." As she spoke, she suddenly recognized the identities of the two "outsiders" in front of her, and quickly pulled the little boy behind her, with a nervous expression on her face.
Is it so exclusive? Lorne secretly thought, but every island has its own customs, and he doesn't want to destroy the customs here if conditions permit.
"Hello, the two of us are travelers who wandered here by chance. We want to stay here overnight. I don't know where there is a hotel or something." Lorne took the initiative to expose his identity as an "outsider", but made some Small modifications, after all, in this extremely closed place, the combination of navy and pirates is a bit shocking.
"Hotel?" The middle-aged woman was a little puzzled, "Do you mean a temporary place to live? Sorry, there is no such thing in Didi Island."
"No?" Lorne was a little startled, but quickly realized that this Didi Island is too small, and all the residents live in a small area, and there are few outsiders, so naturally there is no need for such a hotel. .
"That's such a pity." Lorne said with regret on his face, he didn't force it, and went back to the ship to make do with the night after he was going to buy some supplies.
"That." The middle-aged woman glanced at Lorne and Jinyuan, as if she had made up her mind. "If you two don't mind, you can stay at my house for one night."
The surface is indifferent, but it is actually very warm. Lorne was about to inquire about Gion, but found that she had already nodded directly.
"Thank you."
Does Gion hate going back to the sea so much? Lorne glanced at her in surprise, and found that the female lieutenant general was pressing her belly calmly, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she seemed a little uncomfortable. Then he understood, and gave her a strange look.
The middle-aged woman's home is a dilapidated small bungalow on the edge of the town. She greeted Xiaobao to go back to the house, and then apologized to Gion and Lorne,
"The child's father works at the dock and won't be coming back tonight. The room is a bit small, so I'll wrong you two."
Gion kept saying no, until he entered the room to understand what the middle-aged woman's grievances were referring to. The entire small bungalow has only two bedrooms except the living room and kitchen. The middle-aged woman took the initiative to live with her child and left the big bedroom for the two of them.
In her eyes, Lorne and Gion are lovers, so it doesn't matter if they live together.
Gion looked at Lorne holding back his laughter, as if he had thought of this embarrassing situation a long time ago, so angry that he almost took out the pistol he carried with him and shot him. But it's not easy to brush off the kindness of the middle-aged woman, so she had no choice but to stay.
boom!
The moment the door closed, Gion took out his pistol, slapped it on the table, and glared at Lorne. It seems to be saying, be more honest tonight.
Lorne shrugged helplessly. Although Gion is a rare beauty, even if he wanted to, Gion's physical condition would not allow it. Besides, he raised his left hand, and on his middle finger was a blue The ring shines.
After seeing this ring, what Gion originally wanted to say was blocked in his throat. She blushed, it turned out that she was being affectionate, and then she sat on the bed, turned her head, and ignored Lorne.
"But I suddenly remembered one thing." Lorne sat on the edge of the bed. Gion's legs were really long, and he had to avoid them a little so as not to touch these long, snow-white legs.
"There should be many small islands like Didi Island on the edge of the great route. How do your navy usually manage these small islands? Send a navy here?"
"The navy doesn't have that many manpower, and it's very difficult to establish several branches in several key areas." After thinking for a while, Gion decided to answer Lorne's words. He obviously didn't want to talk to Lorne, but after hearing his question, Still can't help answering.
"After receiving the signal, the navy of these branches will go to sea to help the island that sent the signal."
