C1754 Voyage Family
"Sigh, I don't care so much now. Originally, I thought it was a simple matter, but now that it has become so complicated, it really gives me a headache. How can I get Evelynn to agree to me?" Yang Tao pondered.2
"Sigh, how about this, I'll pretend to court her and make her fall madly in love with me, then I'll let her take me there, wouldn't that be fine?" Yang Tao thought of a way.
"How can that be? Aren't you lying to me? Going to the Sea Of Death is already a risk, and going there is her freedom. What's more, how can you face Xia Xue like this?" Liu Lu immediately gave a negative answer.
"I was just kidding. Don't take it seriously, I really can't do it." Yang Tao waved his hand and said, "I'll go and ask Hawley how is his preparation of the money."
Yang Tao went to make the call. Liu Lu looked at Yang Tao and then at the door. She stood up and walked out.
"Yang Tao, I'm going out for a walk."
"Okay, be careful." Yang Tao made an OK gesture.
After Liu Lu left, she came to the bar where they found Evelynn yesterday and pushed the door open. It was still very dark inside the bar. Music was playing inside, and there were some people drinking inside. The fight yesterday didn't seem to have any effect on this place.
Liu Lu looked around and found Evelynn the day before. She was drinking a bottle of wine.
Liu Lu walked over. When Evelynn saw her, she asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
"I want to talk to you." Liu Lu said from the side.
"Who told you to come and persuade me? No need to talk about it, I won't agree. That place is only a legend. What's the meaning of it? I'm not interested in that sort of thing." Evelynn said.
"I'm not here to convince you, I just want to talk to you. I saw your family's star map in the study." Liu Lu said.
"What's so strange about that? I told you guys last night, my family previously had a star map too, it was copied." Evelynn didn't mind.
"I saw a lot of markings on it. I've learned Spanish before, so I can see that those markings are all girls' handwriting. So, those markings were made by you, right?"
"I was the one who wrote the girl's handwriting, and I'm not the only woman in my family."
"However, there's a signature 'eve' at the end. It should be the English abridged version of your name. That's why I speculated that you were the one who made these markings." Liu Lu said.
Evelynn looked at Liu Lu in surprise and then said, "You're quite smart, but even if I do the labelling, it doesn't mean anything."
"You just said that you're not interested in this sort of thing. If you were truly not interested, then you wouldn't have studied this star map. Did something happen to change you?" Liu Lu asked.
This sentence seemed to have touched Evelyn. She was stunned for a moment, then said to Liu Lu, "Your observation skills are quite good. What? Do you want to hear my story?"
Liu Lu nodded.
"Alright, since I have nothing better to do, I'll tell you about it." Evelynn took a sip of her wine, and as if recalling her memories, she said, "My family used to be considered rich in this town. We were a family of navigators, and Hai Yang was our journey.
"There should be a lot of people who have gone on a long voyage." Liu Lu said.
"You don't understand, not to mention the kind you're talking about, people can travel across the Pacific Ocean on what is now called a solo boat, but that's by modern equipment, and my grandfather and the others are different. They don't have that much stuff, they just rely on a sailboat, and then they hold a star chart, and they rely on human power to fight against the entire ocean. That's the fighting spirit of a navigator, and that's the pride of conquering the sea." Evelynn said.
