Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2133 Flower dispute (forty one)

   "This story is not going to be a hit."

  The French First Ruler who once wrote a novel that did not sell well.

   "Why?" Georgiana put the book down, looking eager to reason with him.

   "He should have written about how he escaped with wit, not about being caught and interrogated, which is what people want to see," Bonaparte said.

   "But that's not true," said Georgiana.

   He seemed to think she was unreasonable.

   "I know a guy who's a best-selling author who knows how to write stories that other people 'want to see', but guess what? Except for the most charming smile award, which is real, everything else is fake."

   He didn't want to continue the discussion on this topic, and Georgiana didn't bother to pay attention to him, Rohart should be in a lunatic asylum now, and this guy in front of him put a man who wrote a poem that satirized him in a mental asylum.

   "No one believes there are monsters in this world," muttered Bonaparte.

   "What?" Georgiana put down the book and reasoned with him again.

   "Forbidden women, vampires, these will only appear in storybooks. If he intends to write a travel journal that can be used for reference, he should not write these contents."

   "If that's the case, the book should have a different name." Georgiana flipped to the cover and found it had no name, followed by chatter that "the author also uses his own name, not a pseudonym."

   He seemed to have an epiphany.

   "Do you know Nick Lemay?" asked Georgiana, a little triumphantly.

   He did not answer.

"He used the same 'Nick' as the author of Nick Polo, and it was because he made the Philosopher's Stone that people scrambled to copy it and inadvertently improved the gunpowder, which was first invented to make it" Elixir'."

   "Is there really an elixir?" asked Bonaparte.

   Georgiana's complacent mood suddenly awakened.

"Let's see what happened later." Georgiana said, then turned to the next page, it was a dark cave with a stone table, surrounded by a few old people with "Xianfeng Daogu" , looks like a legendary fairy cave.

  Nick was locked in a cave, which was fairly clean, and his hands were not tied, and there was no such thing as a cell door, as if they were not worried that Nick would escape on his own.

   Soon a woman came, and she carried a basket, placed it outside the hole, and left.

Nick waited for her to go and went over to check, and found that it contained food, not the expensive ingredients he ate in the banquet hall last night. The dishes were just some seaweed, fish and eggs, and the main food was rice. Nick then remembered himself for a long time. I didn't eat anymore, so I ate all the food.

   After eating, he felt a little thirsty, and soon he found a mountain spring beside the cave, and there was a bamboo water ladle next to it, and he used it to pick up the water.

  The water is fresh water, not so clear and sweet, but not as deadly as sea water. After eating and drinking, Nick returned to the cave, and there was a stone that looked like a bed, but there was no quilt or pillow.

Nick lay directly on it. When he was sailing at sea, because he stayed with the sailors all day, he listened and observed more while they were chatting, so he learned how to distinguish the latitude and longitude by the positions of the stars in the sky. But he doesn't have a sextant or a compass now, so he would get lost in the vast sea if he fled so rashly.

   He remembered a storm he encountered, when the whole ship thought they were doomed. The rain poured down and poured into the cabin with the waves. Even Nick, the passenger, joined the ranks of draining the water with buckets.

   However, even if the ship did not sink due to the storm, some of the food they were carrying was soaked, and the whole ship was shrouded in a death-like silence, and there was no joy in escaping.

  Fortunately, they encountered a fishing village, where fresh water and food were replenished before they were able to continue their journey.

   Immediately afterwards, he remembered his life in France. He was the son of a small wealthy lord and had no longing for Paris. He wanted to see the outside world. He was in Australia during the French Revolution, and when he got the news and returned home, the family was not affected, and it was all thanks to his father.

   Their relationship is not good. My father hopes that he can be a notary or a lawyer and "be a responsible man".

  Nick felt that his father's life was boring and boring, and that was not the life he wanted to live.

  The worst time was over when Nick came home. His father saved the family, but he was still disappointed in Nick. Nick had a fight as soon as he got home. He asked Nick when this "loafing life" would end. Nick told his father that if he needed help, he could speak directly. This angered his father and he accused Nick of it. , he was not there when the family needed him most.

   If it wasn't for his mother, Nick would have left home that day, and his younger brother, pestering him about the adventures he encountered outside.

   This irritable mood made Nick unable to continue lying down on the stone bed, so he left the cave and walked around.

  There are many egrets perched on the trees, which makes Nick more convinced that the island is not far from land, because it is not a seabird like a seagull.

  You can also see otters from time to time. These little things are happy to groom their hair in the water, and they don’t hide when they see people coming. After all, people in this place have not coveted their water-slippery fur.

Nick habitually wanted to find his own brush to sketch this place, but found himself without any tools, as if he had become the protagonist written by the British writer Defoe who encountered a storm and accidentally drifted to an uninhabited island. Robinson, it's just that Robinson lives in isolation from the world. He needs to fight with himself and nature more, and Nick is not alone on this island.

  When people gather for various reasons, it does not always mean helping each other and getting through difficulties. It is also possible to form different groups due to different interests, and then fight against other groups, or even set obstacles for each other.

  Since the island is not far from the mainland, there is nothing wrong with heading west, and Nick can definitely reach the mainland.

   After he reaches the mainland, he will think of other ways, but he must first get a boat, or make a life raft himself.

   However, the problem with making the life raft is that Nick still has no tools, and even the orangutans know to use branches when they eat ants.

  Nick pulled out his Spanish jackknife, which the pirates hadn't searched, and looked threatening compared to their weapons.

   This is the "wealth" left to him by the civilized world, just like Robinson would not be able to survive on a real desert island without the materials left by the shipwreck.

   But it is unrealistic to use this jackknife to chop down trees. Nick intends to continue to look around to see if he can find useful supplies.

   After all, he doesn't have 7654 silver dollars. If this money is still paid by his father, it will be disgraceful.

   After walking for about ten minutes, Nick heard the noise. He followed the sound and found a shocking scene.

   Those in Ryukyu clothes tied the ends of the braids of the two people with braids together, and tied a red silk in the middle, so that the two people "tug-of-war", while the rest bet on the side.

  The two people with braids obviously hurt, but they had to reluctantly continue to "tug-of-war" until one of them pulled the other down.

  The people in Ryukyu costumes gathered their weapons and cut off the pigtails of the losing side. The man let out a tragic cry, and the others laughed when they saw that embarrassment.

  Nick retreated carefully into the bushes so they wouldn't find him.

   Nick would rather go back to the cave just now than that camp.

   Because he really couldn't define the scene just now as "interesting".
