Chapter 147 147. Who can not be moved by this?

The night passed.

When Qiao Mu woke up, he found that his head was still on his neck. He felt very satisfied.

At least Ah Xin didn't show martial ethics and sneaked into his old man's house at night while he was sleeping.

The morning on Hongdao was slightly humid, and Qiao Mu felt that his clothes were a little damp. He got up and touched the bed board. There was no sign of mold on the painted wooden bed board, but it was covered with a layer of dew.

That's normal. After all, it's a one-story building, surrounded by green grass. There's no basement. It's only when it's not damp that there are ghosts.

He looked out the window, and saw a large expanse of grass extending into the distance, separated by the blue sky. If you didn't pay attention to the dark curtain of the world at the junction of the sea of ​​clouds and the sky in the distance, then this would definitely be a scene like an oil painting.

Jumping up with a snap, Qiao Mu stretched his muscles and braced himself.

"Is there breakfast?"

Although Qiao Mu has canned food of his own, when he is away from home, he must eat free food if he can.

He is a very principled person.

"There is fruit here."

Noah had already gotten up and helped his mother Martha pack things.

Outside, Captain Isaac was tinkering with the aerostat, and Hida, or Axin, was learning from the side. This cheered up the somewhat decadent captain and danced around to introduce the aerostat. everything.

"You know, according to theory, as long as you carry this empty stone, you can make things take off. Our control device is also based on this."

Captain Isaac pointed to the two stone balls in the cabin and said.

"So, as long as there are enough empty rocks, can those big ships be supported?"

Ah Xin pretended to be an ignorant girl, looking at Captain Isaac with her big watery eyes, like a cat crying for food.

Who can not be moved by this?

Captain Isaac immediately started chattering again, waving his hands constantly, trying everything he had learned.

"When can I leave?"

Enya, a girl with dark blond hair, sat next to her, holding a piece of fruit in her hand.

According to what Ah Xin said, Enya is the real eldest lady of Iron Island, but this eldest lady does not have the appearance of being indifferent to the four limbs and the five grains. Instead, she chews the things in her hands in a very down-to-earth manner.

Qiao Mu also took one.

This thing looked like a papaya, with a light green skin. He followed suit and gnawed on it with his teeth. He found that the skin of the fruit was very thin, and the inside was juicy and very sweet. After three times, five divided by two, Qiao Mu ate it all. .

"tasty!"

He commented, catching Enya's gaze from next door.

"Pack it up and we're going to meet the village chief."

Noah walked out of the house at this time. He glanced at the sky behind him, and a dark cloud was brewing in the distance.

"It looks like it's going to rain today."

He asked his mother to put away all the clothes and led everyone towards the hillside where the village was located.

Qiao Mu saw from a distance that behind the dotted villages, there was a huge tree at the highest position. The tree was about thirty meters high. It was hard to imagine that there would be such a tall tree on a floating island where there are often violent storms. As he walked, he discovered that Noah was taking them to where the big tree was.

There is a small house there. Compared with other houses, these buildings are much smaller in scale and there are no children playing. It is quiet and private, like a dream.

Qiao Mu saw a woman over fifty years old sitting at the door of the house. She had gray hair on her temples and was sifting vegetables like beans in a basket.

"Is this the village chief?"

Qiao Mu couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"I'm not the village chief, but I know the purpose of your coming."

The old woman seemed to have heard Qiao Mu's whisper. She put down her work and looked at everyone.

Her eyes were a little cloudy, and the years had left traces on her body and given her enough wisdom.

"You want to ask about ways to calm the storm, and you want to know how to make [Wind Candle]."

The old woman said calmly, she glanced at Noah.

"Come in, he has been waiting for you."

"[Wind Candle]?"

Qiao Mu thought to himself that he had one on his body, and if he really needed it, then he would not lose money at all by spending the points.

They walked into the house. There was no one else in the house, and the furnishings were all very old, giving off the aura of a decadent old man.

After passing through the house and coming to the courtyard, Qiao Mu saw that there was the main trunk of the big tree.

A person can be vaguely seen among the intricate tree roots.

It was an old man with white hair. He had no clothes on his upper body. The roots of the big tree penetrated his flesh and blood. It did not cause any wounds. Instead, it spread like a symbiosis with it. The dark bark and his The skin gradually merged, as if after a while, he would completely integrate into the tree and become a part of it.

Qiao Mu glanced at the thick tree trunk. It seemed that many people had been absorbed into the trunk. Some faces could be vaguely seen. She didn't know if it was an illusion.

"village head."

Noah bowed his head and saluted.

Others also bowed their heads.

Qiao Mu raised his head and saw crimson words appearing among the scattered roots.

[This tree is the foundation of this island. Even the storm cannot knock it down, but at what cost? 】

It seems that this big tree does have some extraordinary elements in it.

"We can't fight the storm."

At this time, the old man suddenly made a voice.

His mouth didn't move, and the words seemed to come from his body.

Perhaps, the village chief has already become one with the big tree, and what Qiao Mu sees now is just a remnant of his body as a human being. One day, the village chief will become part of that thick root system, Draw nutrients from the soil for the big trees.

"We just have to ride the storm, Noah. We are destined to spend the rest of our lives here."

The village chief's voice sounded again.

"Village chief, these two are visitors who mistakenly entered Hongdao from outside. They encountered a storm. This is Mr. Isaac. You also know him. He also comes from outside the storm. Since people can come through the storm, why should we Can’t get out through the storm?”

Noah asked humbly.

"Listen to the trees, you know, we shouldn't leave here."

The village chief's voice echoed low, like the thunder of a storm brewing in the distance.

"Beyond the storm is full of sin, filth, and danger. It took us hundreds of years to finally find peace. It should not be destroyed because of this. This is the revelation given to me by God."

"What about [Wind Candle]? If we leave, we will never come back. I would like to ask you to give me the method of making [Wind Candle]."

Noah spoke again.

"Leave, the dream is coming, you should not continue to wander outside."

The village chief did not give Noah the answer he wanted, but instead asked them to leave.

When Noah saw this, he didn't argue and just led everyone out of the courtyard.

"Let's find a room nearby to rest. The dream is about to come."

"What is the dream?"

Axin asked.

"That's what dreams are like."

Before Noah finished speaking, everyone heard a low and long roar, and following the sound, under the big tree, a huge translucent whale was swimming slowly, reflecting the light of the rainbow.
