Little Penguin Courtship Diary

"Where are we going now?" Zuo Yu struggled to follow behind Shen You.The male god has long legs and big steps. Zuo Yu has two short legs and wings to keep his balance. It is very difficult for Zuo Yu to catch up with him.

The penguin's body is such an inconvenience.Zuo Yu was depressed.

"Let's go to the dining room to see, the squirrel and the captain should be there." Shen You noticed Zuo Yu's strenuous effort and deliberately slowed down his pace.

Zuo Yu didn't pay attention, and rushed forward with his head sullen, but suddenly found that the male god had disappeared.

Huh?

It looked left, right, and back, and saw Shen You walking up slowly.

"Let's walk slowly, I can't keep up with you." Shen You said.

Zuo Yu's face flushed, the male god is so kind, he didn't dislike his short legs.

One person and one goose walked slowly to the restaurant, the lights inside were bright, and the boundless sea of ​​sand outside the window kept receding.

"Are you slow?" The squirrel jumped down from the table and jumped onto Shen You's shoulders to talk to him.

Zuo Yu craned his neck unhappily, and glared at the squirrel.Whispering with the male god, and getting so close, this squirrel is really annoying!

"My dear guests, hello." The one-eyed captain came over and took off his hat to salute.

"Hi Captain, thank you for saving us." Shen You replied.

"You two, don't be so polite, come, come, you have a lot of delicious food!" The squirrel jumped off Shen You's shoulders while he was bending over, fell to the ground, and then lightly climbed up to the dining table where he was just now.

"Please come in, please come in, you can eat whatever you want here." The captain led Zuo Yu and the others in. The huge cafeteria was empty, but all kinds of delicious food were filled on the dining table for people to eat.

"There's a lot to eat." Zuo Yu's eyes were straightened, and he ran to a shallow pool, where there were actually a few sea fish that he liked to eat, and the other pool separated by Antarctic crayfish.

"Please use whatever you want, these are all prepared for you," said the one-eyed captain.

Zuo Yu's stomach was already growling with hunger. Hearing this, he immediately dived into the water to catch fish.

"Captain, where did this ship come from? Where is it going?" Shen You sat down at the dining table, and the captain poured him a cup of tea.

"Come where you came from, and go where you went." The one-eyed captain said, "When I was on this bed, it was already sailing in the sandy sea. I don't remember how many years it has been sailing."

"Is there no one else on the boat?" the squirrel asked. There was a large plate of nuts in front of it, and it was holding several nuts in its hands, and gnawed them at the same time.Only the walnuts were picked aside in disgust, "I have eaten walnuts for hundreds of years, and I can finally change it to something new!"

"No, the restaurant here has food on time every day, and it seems to know what I want to eat, and I can eat what I want every day. However, I can't get off the boat. I'm the only one on this boat. It's really boring." said the one-eyed captain.

"I have also stayed in the gourmet fantasy for hundreds of years, and I only eat walnuts. You are much happier than me." The squirrel said after eating a melon seed.

"Gourmet fantasy? Is that a forest full of inedible food?" the captain asked.

"Yes, you know?" the squirrel asked excitedly, like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

"I really want to go there." The captain fell into deep thought. "It happened a long time ago, and I don't remember it either."

"Do you know where this oasis in the sand sea is?" Shen You asked.

"I don't know." The captain shook his head. "There is no oasis in this sea of ​​sand. I have sailed here for so many years, and I haven't seen any green."

Shen You frowned and took a sip of tea, "We want to find the oasis in this desert. Before boarding the boat, we have seen the mirage of the oasis. It means that there must be an oasis in this desert, so we can project it over."

"Maybe, it's in the depths of the desert that I haven't been to." The captain took a sip of tea and sighed, "Why are you looking for an oasis?"

"We have to find a way to leave the Wild Sand Illusion, and the exit is in the oasis." Shen You said.

"Leave?" The captain was surprised, "You mean, you can leave this desert?"

Shen You nodded. He watched the captain stand up abruptly, walked around the table and walked in front of him, and pressed his shoulder, "Lost travelers, can you take me away together?"

Shen You was taken aback by his actions, and his good psychological quality made him not show the slightest bit, just nodded, "Yes, but you can't get off the boat?"

"It was not allowed before," the captain paused, and looked at the squirrel eating pine nuts, "but since it may follow the inside and leave the gourmet fantasy, I can definitely leave the wild sand fantasy with you."

Shen You looked at the captain, then at the squirrel, what happened to these people and animals in the illusion?

"By the way, I once saw a huge cactus in the sand sea, taller than this cruise ship." The one-eyed captain said suddenly, "Maybe it has something to do with the oasis you are looking for."

"A huge cactus? It's possible that even a cactus must have a source of water to grow. If you find this cactus, you may be able to discover the hidden water source in the desert." Shen You said.

"Good, good, let's go find a cactus!" said the squirrel.

Zuo Yu walked over waddlingly, flapping his wings in agreement, with the fish he just caught from the pond still in his mouth.

"Okay, let's go," said the captain.

"Do you know where?" Shen You asked.The penguin next to him stretched its neck and tried to swallow the fish, then patted its stomach and rubbed it against Shen You's feet, expressing that it also wanted to serve.

Shen You left the table, pulled away the chair next to him, and when he bent down to hug the penguin, the hull turned suddenly, and the cabin shook. Shen You hugged the penguin and almost fell down.

"I don't know, but this ship does," said the captain.

"It turned by itself?" Shen You was surprised. He hugged the penguin to the seat, and then raised his eyes to look out the window. There was still an endless sea of ​​sand outside, but the position of the sun seemed to have changed.

"Yes. When I saw you in the vast sea of ​​sand just now, this ship also turned in front of you according to my will, and stopped to let you board." The one-eyed captain stood up and brought a set of teacups for the penguin. , pour black tea on it.

"Too... amazing." Shen You wanted to say horror, but in front of the captain, he changed his words completely.

"Isn't it? It's not just a surprise. When I first discovered that it has this function, I was horrified!" The captain said, opening his arms exaggeratedly, expressing his emotions at that time.

"Is this ship alive?" asked the squirrel.

"The world in the illusion is full of wonders, who knows?" Said the one-eyed captain.

"Okay, everyone, since the cruise ship has decided the direction for us, let's enjoy the time here!" The captain stood up and patted Shen You on the shoulder, "The business is over, you should go get it Order something to eat."

After Shen You came in, he didn't eat anything except drinking tea.He stood up and looked around, wanting to get something, but Zuo Yu beside him also moved, flapped his wings, walked to the edge of the chair, jumped, and fell to the ground.

"What's the matter? I'll get you anything else you want to eat." Shen You said.

The penguin raised its head to look at Shen You, and pointed towards the food with its wings, "There is something you like to eat, I'll take you there." Then he walked on his short legs and headed there.

"How do you know that I like steak?" Shen You looked at the steak in front of him in surprise. It's not surprising that there is steak here, but Zuo Yu actually knows that he likes to eat it?And the other things it pointed to him were also his favorites.

Shen You looked at it, and it stretched its neck trying to distinguish what was in each buffet basin.The penguin is not tall enough, it can barely see what's inside.

"When I was cooking for you, I found that you liked it, so I wrote it down." Zuo Yu shook his wings, a little embarrassed.

"Did you cook for me?" Shen You took a piece of steak and other things, and walked back with the penguin with the dinner plate.

"Well, you moved to live with me later, so I have the opportunity to cook for you." Zuo Yu said.

Shen You put down the dinner plate, was stunned for a moment, then looked at the shy penguin and asked, "Are we living together?"

"No, no!" Zuo Yu quickly shook his head and waved his wings, "We're just roommates. Your house was handed over late, and it happened that my roommate moved out, so you came in for a temporary stay."

"I see." In Shen You's current memory, his house was still late, but he was very lucky. On the deadline day of the landlady's deadline, a very good two-bedroom and one-living room was released, and he rented it immediately. Down.

In memory, there is no such thing as renting with other people.

Could it be that the house in his memory was the one where he and Zuo Yu lived together?Zuo Yu violated the taboo of the Demon Association, allowing him to see it change back to its original form, so it was erased.

"Thank you." Shen You said suddenly, then pulled out the chair and carried the penguin up.

"Huh?" Penguin was still in the arms of the male god, and he couldn't react when he heard such a sentence suddenly.

"Thank you for taking me in, otherwise I would be homeless." Shen You said, taking a plate of sashimi from the tray and putting it in front of Zuo Yu, "This is a thank you gift."

Zuo Yu was flattered, stuffed a piece of sashimi into his mouth, and muttered, "You're welcome."

"Also, thank you for finding my favorite food for me." Shen You leaned closer to his head and said.

Zuo Yu felt like he was about to turn into a roasted penguin!

"Everyone, why don't we go to the casino after dinner? Sailing is boring, kill some time." The captain said.

Shen You and Zuo Yu had just finished eating, and the squirrel had already tasted all the nuts in the restaurant, and had already rolled up and fell asleep.Hearing the captain's words, it jumped up immediately and shouted, "Okay! I want to play, penguin, look at my invincible luck, I will torture you to death!"

Without further ado, Zuo Yu greeted the squirrel's head with its long and sharp beak.

"Ah, you bad penguin, don't peck me!" The squirrel scrambled and jumped onto the captain's shoulder.

"Hmph!" The penguin successfully chased away the squirrel, glanced at it triumphantly, and then hesitated, "Shen You, are you going to play?"

"Success, let's go play." Shen You said.

Zuo Yu was in a dilemma. Master said that gambling is bad, and you must never touch it!But the male god wants to play too, shouldn't I remind him?And it seems to go with the male god.

"We don't want to be serious, just play casually. The chips are all in the cabinet of the casino, just take whatever you want." The captain saw Penguin's hesitation and explained.

The penguin's wilted head instantly regained its energy, and it urged excitedly, "Okay, okay, let's go play!"

Shen You was amused by its undisguised change, and rubbed its little head hard.

Only then did Penguin realize that the male god was smiling, and he didn't know what was going on, so he blinked at him stupidly, with an innocent look on his face.

The one-eyed captain took them to the casino, which was colorful and colorful, and the slot machines lined up at the entrance of the casino, which was particularly spectacular.There are also some unnamed amusement machines and poker tables.

The captain went to the back of the cabinet of the casino, took out two boxes of chips, and handed them to Shen You and the others, "You can use them as you please. These machines and chips are usually just for viewing. It's not fun for me to play alone. Everyone can play casually."

Shen You took it, thanked him, and noticed that the penguin was poking around, so he simply squatted down so that Zuo Yu could clearly see the chips in his hand.

"Wow, there are numbers on it?" Zuo Yu looked at the chips curiously.

Shen You took out one with one hundred written on it, and showed it to Zuo Yu, "This one is one hundred dollars."

"It's so expensive!" Zuo Yu did the math, one hundred dollars is only such a chip that is not much bigger than a coin, it seems so little!

"Of course it's expensive. Gambling itself is a waste of money." Shen You put the chips back.

"Have you ever played?" Zuo Yu asked.

"Well, I went there when I was studying abroad, and I always lost twice, so I didn't bother to go." Shen You shrugged.The experience he learned from his elder brother is that every time he goes to the casino, he only brings a certain amount of cash, no card or anything of value, and returns to the room after losing all the cash.

In fact, gambling is not afraid of losing, but afraid of winning too much and getting carried away. As long as you stay at the gambling table, there will always be a day when you will spit it all out.

In his foreign school, there were seniors who won a lot of money in the casino, bought a lot of luxury goods for his girlfriend, and bought himself a famous car and watch.But later, he became addicted to this sudden wealth, and spent every vacation in the casino.The last time I lost ten games, even the tuition fees that my parents had just remitted were included in it. In the end, in order to save it, I used the car as collateral to play the last game, and lost everything.

Zuo Yu nodded, and made a conclusion in his heart, the male god is not addicted to gambling, he is a good person.

Probably Shen You's words came into effect. Zuo Yu lost N hands in a row after he entered the table, and the whole box of chips was reduced by half.

The penguin drooped its head lazily, and the squirrel beside it jumped up and down triumphantly. It won dozens of penguins, not to mention how proud it was.

"Hahaha, admit defeat!" The squirrel laughed proudly.

"Cut!" The penguin turned its head away from it, Shen You stood behind it, holding the cards for it, and the captain stood opposite, acting as the dealer.

"It's just a game, don't mind too much." Shen You comforted.

Zuo Yu actually didn't mind losing at all.

It has no hands and it is inconvenient to take cards, so Shen You has been holding it for it, sitting next to it, getting very close for convenience.It poked a certain card with its beak, and Shen You would play that card, and taught it some skills from time to time. Zuo Yu expressed his enjoyment of being able to interact closely with the male god.

But this squirrel is so annoying, can't he just play it low when he wins?What does it mean that you must pile the winning chips next to you?

And laughing at it, it's so annoying!

"Come again, the captain will deal the cards!" The squirrel won another hand, and happily took Zuo Yu's chips home, just like looking for food reserves before winter came.

"Stop playing." No matter how honest Zuo Yu was, he still had a little temper. He turned his head and was about to jump off the stool.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"Stop playing, I'm tired." Zuo Yu ignored it, and jumped off the stool by himself.

The squirrel still wanted to stay, but the captain came up to smooth things over, "Let Zuo Yu go back to rest when he's tired, and I'll play with you."

Seeing that someone was playing with him, the squirrel stopped pestering Zuo Yu and happily continued to fight with the captain.

Zuo Yu was actually not sleepy, he walked around the casino, stopped, and found someone behind him.Turning around, I realized that Shen You had been following behind it.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Shen You asked it with a smile.

Zuo Yu shook his wings uncomfortably. He lost his temper just now and forgot that the male god was still by his side. What a shame! "I'm going back."

"Don't go back, sit with me for a while." Shen You said, "May I play the piano for you?" There is a grand piano on the small stage next to it, which should be prepared for the band in the casino.Not far from the small stage, there is also a small bar.

"Okay." Penguin's eyes lit up, and he obediently sat down where he was, waiting for the male god to perform.

Shen You came to the stage, opened the piano stool and sat on it.The color of the piano is very good, and the bright black piano paint shines brightly under the light.He opened the cover of the piano and played a chromatic scale first, and the pitch was not bad.

Shen You waved his hands, glanced at the penguins watching, and played a prelude to the fifth act of "A Midsummer Night's Dream"*.

Zuo Yu was intoxicated by the heroic posture of the male god playing the piano, admiring it wholeheartedly.After playing a song, it closed its wings to its chest, patted it, and applauded the male god.

"Does it sound good?" Shen You walked down and asked.

"It sounds good," Zuo Yu said, "I seem to have heard it somewhere."

Shen You smiled, but didn't speak.

"Bravo!" The captain was there, applauding and walking over, "Shen You played this wedding march very well!"

Shen You also smiled politely, "During my classmate's wedding, I was invited to play it, and I especially practiced it." Shen You said.

The penguin was on fire again.wedding March?The male god is good or bad, how can this kind of music be played casually, and I still play it for him, so happy!

"Sounds good!" The squirrel also rushed over, and asked by the way, "We've been playing all afternoon, when will we finish eating?"

"Now if you're hungry!" said the captain.

The evening buffet was still rich, Zuo Yu ate several Antarctic crayfish, leaned against Shen You contentedly, bubbling with happiness.

After dinner, the captain took them to the bar at the stern, where soft music was playing, colorful lights on the dance floor alternated, and there was a bar next to it, where various wines were prepared.

"This is fun!" The squirrel rushed to the bar, found a drinking glass, and said to Zuo Yu, "Penguin, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"What are you betting on?" Zuo Yu felt sick when he heard the word bet.

"Let's mix a glass of wine for each other and see who gets down first," said the squirrel.

"Okay, let's compare!" Zuo Yu was oppressed by the squirrel a lot, and occasionally wanted to compete with it. Look at the squirrel's small body, it doesn't believe that it will lose!

Shen You and the captain didn't stop them either. They looked at them and smiled, and found two sofa seats by the dance floor to sit down.

"Captain, do you still remember how you became the captain of this cruise ship?" The question was a bit awkward, but it was buried in Shen You's heart for a long time.The one-eyed captain said that he has an impression of the gourmet fantasy, so it is likely that he has been there.

If he has been to the Food Fantasyland, it means that he has not been on board all the time.

Be bolder, maybe he is the same as them, who entered the trial of the seven illusions.

"I don't really remember." The captain said, "I have been here for a long time, and sometimes I think I was born and raised on the ship. But sometimes I feel that I come from other places, just because of some Because of this reason, I came to this desert and became the captain here.”

Shen You nodded. People's memory is unreliable, and sometimes they make mistakes. If he is really here alone for a long time, it is very likely that he will forget the past or remember wrongly.

"Why did you come here?" The captain asked Shen You.

"We are here to participate in the trial." Shen You told the captain what he knew.

The captain seemed to have been shaken a little, and sat there without saying a word for a long time.

After a piece of music was played, he said, "Maybe, I also came in with a goblin, but then... what happened then?" He fell into deep thought.

"Could it be related to your eyes?" Shen You didn't want to mention other people's flaws, but he really wanted to know the captain's secret, maybe it would be useful for their future journey.

"Oh, this!" Unexpectedly, the captain took off the blindfold without hesitation, "I tied this on, my eyes are fine, look." He opened the other eye, which was also clear and energetic.

"I've been lonely here for too long, and I always want to have some fun for myself." The captain said, and tied the blindfold back, "Don't you think, this looks like a pirate leader drifting at sea? Looking at the boundless ocean every day , imagine the day you land, and you will never be alone again.”

The captain stared at the brilliance flowing on the stage, "I have been lonely for too long, if you can take me out this time, I will really be very, very grateful to you."

Shen You didn't know what to say, the captain's loneliness was too heavy for him to imagine.

"Hey, hello, what's the matter with you?" Squirrel's voice came from the bar.

"What's wrong with it?" Shen You walked over quickly, and Zuo Yu lay motionless on the ground, with his head on his side, his long beak open, his eyes half-closed, and a whining sound from his mouth.

"I don't know, I just gave it a sip and that's it!" The squirrel pointed to the strangely colored wine and said.

Shen You helped it up, and the smell of alcohol was strong.

Zuo Yu's body swayed, and he looked at Shen You with drunken eyes, "Hey, male god!"

The author has something to say: * There are two famous "Wedding March".One is the prelude to the fifth act of Mendelssohn's overture "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and the other is a mixed chorus "Wedding Cantata" at the beginning of the third act of Wagner's opera "Lohengrin", which is often used as wedding music. It was named "Wedding March", which was later adapted into orchestral music.The former is cheerful and passionate, while the latter is solemn and solemn.According to Western tradition, Wagner's "Wedding March" should be played when the bride enters the venue.When the newlyweds step out of the church, they will play Mendelssohn's "Wedding March".

The above is an excerpt from Baidu Encyclopedia, the entry of the wedding march.

Huh, I finally caught up, thank you for your support, okay!
