Chapter 4 The Flying Box

Walking along a road, Lu Yi and Aiya found a strange old man. When they first met, the old man drove a cow, but soon he saw a man driving a sheep, so he exchanged the cow with the other person for the sheep. Later, he replaced the sheep with the goose. At the market, he replaced the goose with the chicken...

Following the old man, Aiya was very anxious and wanted to remind the old man several times that he was at a disadvantage in doing so, but he was stopped by Lu Yi.

"Why?" Aiya didn't understand.

"The old man will not suffer any loss," Lu Yi said, "because 'the old man always does things right'."

"I still don't understand," said Aiya, "can you make it clear?"

"You haven't seen this story?" Lu Yi said with a wicked smile, "The story is too long, I'm too lazy to tell you. Let's go home and read it yourself."

Aiya glared at her eyes and said, "No need to tell me, I will follow the old man until I see the result!"

Lu Yi grabbed him and said, "It's almost dark, the little duck is still waiting for us."

Aiya looked up and saw that although the sky was still bright, the sun had already set.

"Oh! I'm here to play, let's go back to the beach quickly. The little duck must be anxious." Aiya said stomping her feet.

Lu Yi said: "If I return the same way, it will take at least three hours. It will be dark by then. How can I go?"

"We took the shortcut, and I remember we were on that direction." Lu Yi said in the direction where the sun was setting.

"Okay, go quickly!" Lu Yi said, then raised his legs and left, Ai Ya followed closely.

Following a small road, about half an hour later, they came to a forest, and it was already a little dark.

There is no other way around. If you want to continue moving forward, you have to pass through this woods.

Lu Yi and Ai Ya hesitated.

"Will there be beasts in the woods, or... robbers?" said Aiya.

"No," Lu Yi thought for a while and said, "Didn't the little duck say that, this island is very safe. Let's go!"

The two of them mustered up the courage and stepped into the woods. As they walked, it became completely dark. They took out the flashlight and carefully identified the path and walked forward. When the wind blew, the leaves were brushing, which made the two of them tremble and frightened.

Finally, they walked out of the woods and looked up with a starlight-and, fireworks. Yes, it was fireworks! It was blooming over the city not far away!

The fireworks were not set on the ground, but were thrown down in the sky. With the light of the fireworks, Lu Yi and Aiya saw that there was a flying box in the sky, and someone was sitting in the box throwing down in the sky with fireworks.

They also heard cheers coming from the city.

"What's this for?" Aiya said, "It's amazing!"

"It seems... wait, don't talk." Lu Yi pulled Aiya and hid behind a tree. They saw the box carrying the man toward the woods.

Soon, the box landed on the edge of the woods not far from Lu Yi and Ai Ya. The man jumped out of the box, hid the box under the tree with leaves, and turned around and walked towards the city.

"Not good!" Lu Yi said, "Take out the mineral water quickly!"

Aiya took out two bottles of mineral water, handed it to Lu Yiyi, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Lu Yi did not answer, just said, "Unlock!" and ran to the place where the man hid the box. He ran and shouted to the person: "Hey— Come back quickly!"

The man turned around and asked, "Who, what's wrong?"

Before Lu Yi could answer, a flame rose from where the box was hidden. Lu Yi and Ai Ya hurriedly ran over and poured the mineral water on it. The man quickly took off his clothes and slapped it, and the fire was quickly extinguished.

With the flashlight of Lu Yi and Aiya, the man cleaned the box. Fortunately, all the burned leaves were only some dry leaves, and the box was intact.

"Thank you!" said the man, "This box is my lifeblood. Without it, I will have nothing. Thank you very much! But...how do you know it is going to catch fire?"

"Because... I saw the sparks of fireworks falling into the box." Lu Yi said.

"Oh, how should I repay you?" said the man, "I really have nothing except this box."

Lu Yi said: "No need to thank you."

Aiya quietly pulled Lu Yi's sleeve and stepped forward to the man and said, "Can your box still fly?"

"It should be possible," said the man.

"Then... can you send us to the beach?" said Aiya. "We are in a hurry to go to the beach, and there are friends waiting for us."

"Of course, come in, come in. Since you are anxious, I'll send you there."

All three of them squeezed into the box. The man pressed the box and the box flew up, flying higher and higher, towards the beach.

At the beginning, Lu Yi and Ai Ya were very scared, afraid of falling down, but soon they got used to it and began to enjoy the feeling of flying under the starry sky.

They flew and chatted and introduced themselves. It turned out that the man was the son of a businessman and would marry the princess tomorrow and become the princess.

"Thank you again," said the businessman's son, "If I had no flying box, I would not be the prince consort. I had no choice but to tell stories, and I would have to live a poor life."

Lu Yi said: "Not necessarily, as long as you are willing to learn, you can learn a lot of things. Besides, you can still do business like your father."

"Well, that's true," said the businessman's son. "I still know a little about how to do business."

The flying box flew to the beach. When they saw a little light on the shore, they landed. Sure enough, the little duck's boat was here, and the light was emitted by a small light on the boat.

Hearing the movement, the little duck got up from the boat and said, "You are finally back."

"Hehe, are you anxious, little duck?" said Aiya.

"Not too anxious," said the little duck. "I rarely come back on time when playing on this island. Why, you bring a new friend? I can't sit on my boat."

"No," Lu Yi said, "he just sent us back."

The merchant's son heard this and said, "It's getting late, it's time for me to go back." As he said that, he took out a card and handed it to Lu Yi, "This is my summoning card. I see you have a summoner. Summon me when you need it. I will definitely come in time. The password is..."

A few words were gently spoken in Lu Yi's ear, and after that, the merchant's son sat in the flying box.

"Wait," Lu Yi called him, took out a handful of silver coins and put them in the flying box and said, "You are going to get married tomorrow. This is our gift."

"Thank you!" After saying that, the merchant's son flew away in a flying box.

Aiya turned around and said to the little duck, "Let's get on the boat, too."

"Where to go?" said the little duck. "In this dark sea, without a lighthouse, this simple boat cannot sail at all."

"What should I do?" Aiya said.

"It's easy to deal with, rest on the spot and wait for dawn." The little duck said, jumped into the boat, took out something from the storage box, returned to the shore, and said, "Come with me."

Lu Yi and Aiya walked a long way with the ducklings and came to a flat grassland. The ducklings set up a small tent after a few strokes.

"Remember, camping by the sea, you must be far enough away from the sea." said the little duck, "You can sleep here tonight, you two just sleep."

"What about you?" Aiya asked.

"I'm sleeping on the boat."

"How can that be? How cold?" said Aiya.

"Hahaha!" the little duck smiled, "You didn't see how thick my clothes are? They are still waterproof!"

"Let's have something to eat together." Lu Yi said.

"No, I've eaten it. You guys have a break early and set off tomorrow as soon as dawn." After the little duck said that, he went back to the boat.

Lu Yi and Ai Ya got into the tent and were a little excited. This was the first time they were camping in the wild. They shone the flashlight and took out something from their backpacks to eat. While eating, they took out the summoning card given by the merchant's son. It was a small card about two centimeters wide and four centimeters long. One side was yellow and the other side was red, with a QR code on both sides, and the red side also had a flying box pattern.

Aiya asked Lu Yi: "How do you know that the flying box will catch fire?"

Lu Yi said: "The flying wooden boxes appeared on Andersen Island and fireworks were set off. It must be the story of the 'flying box'. The ending of this story is that the wooden boxes were burned by fire..."

"So, we changed the ending of the story? But is this all true? Why is it like a dream?"
