A novel-The lighthouse mage

Chapter 1 dawn
The night was half over, and stars were shining all over the sea.
The crash of the waves reverberated, crashing against the rocks on the shore. A fire was burning on the smallest of the islands, not far from the shore.
"Ah! This headache is killing me. Where am I?"Lister half-opened his eyes and closed them again.
At this time Liszt's ear spread a burst of "crash!Hua!"The sound of the waves and the crackling of wood burning.
Lying down for a while, Liszt seemed to have strength and opened his eyes to see a night sky and many stars.
"Why am I here?"Liszt thought.
Another headache struck, and Liszt could not help but close his eyes and fall asleep.
The sky gradually became less dark, the campfire in the night is not so bright, the campfire next to Liszt woke up again, in the mind a paragraph of memory does not belong to their own.
Liszt turned his head to see a sea in front of him and a dying bonfire.
The original owner of this body is also called Liszt, because of days of hunger and the decline of the body condition died, was from the earth Liszt into the void.
The memory passed like a movie, the world is similar to the European middle ages, this place called the kingdom of Rudin is located in the coastal city of Alacant ternary city.
Liszt's parents went into debt because of the failure of their business. To get back quickly, they borrowed money from relatives and friends to buy a boat for trade.
Neither man nor boat came back, leaving a debt to the owner, and the house and all its valuable things were sold without a place to live.
To find a place to live and reach an agreement with the mayor, bonfires were lit every night on the island off the coast and used as lighthouses to guide boats to the city of Cornell at night.
As for why not go wandering to avoid the debt, because the ship of the original owner's parents ran into a reef and sank on the reef, there is also a reef near the coast of eternal city, in order to give the same ship as the parents not to be hit by the reef, and in order to pay the debt and insist on.
The original owner collected his firewood and got food, slept on an open island every night, and was under the pressure of debt.
"Hungry! Liszt felt empty and weak, even though his body was cold against the leaves of an unquenched campfire.
"Well!"Liszt felt unable to rise with the force, his whole body could not move as if he had lost control of his body.
So Liszt lay on the ground, thinking how miserable the owner was, and thinking to himself, "since I have inherited your body I will pay your debts, and build a lighthouse on this island to pilot ships at night!"
It seems that because of Liszt's promise, it feels the shackles of the body disappear and the body moves.
"Rest assured! I will make it!"Liszt said.
Liszt sat up with difficulty. His body was very poor, very thin, and his clothes were very thin. He looked at the open fire around him and filled it with firewood.
Looking at the island, around the week about more than 300 square meters big, looking from the sea has more than 10 meters high, is a small island that can not be any smaller.
You can only grow a little food in addition to building a house. If the house is too big, you can't grow any food, but that's why no one lives there.
Rummaging through the owner's parcel, there was a little iron box for boiling water and five coppers, and then there was no more, and it had to be covered with a sheet of linen.
Copper was the money he had saved to buy fishing nets, and Liszt felt very hungry.
Thinking that four coppers could buy one brown bread in a tavern, and five coppers could buy a little more.
It took twenty-five coppers to buy the nets, and at this time Liszt did not care what the nets were but thought of brown bread and felt even hungrier.
"Fuck the fishing net, I just want to eat!"Lister thought, clutching five coppers.
Liszt's island was still some distance from the shore, and he used to walk from island to island on a broad plank supporting a pole.
It was still dark and dangerous to paddle on a plank. Liszt put two coconut skins into the campfire, but he could not put more firewood. There was very little firewood that could be burned at the seaside.
Liszt lay on his hands and knees, burning the fire and waiting for the dawn. After about two hours, the sky became less dark and became faintly bright.
Liszt packed up the copper COINS and left the rest of his belongings here, where nobody usually came. But Liszt thought better of hiding the iron box in a bush and tucking the linen for wrapping into his belt. He was too poor, in case he lost the iron box and even the pot for boiling water.
He took the broad plank and a long pole, went down an earthy step on the edge of the island, dropped the plank into the sea, stepped on it, and lifted the pole towards the shore.
"Hubbub...There was a splashing sound.
When he got to the bank, he put a large board and a stick on the bank and tied them to a stick that was stuck in the earth. This is not for fear of being taken away, but to prevent being thrown into the sea by the waves that break the shore.
The dawn tide was heavy, and lister, who had just come ashore, held his shoulders and shivered as he made his way to the tavern down the street.
Along the way, he saw smoke coming from several chimneys, and for a while, he came to a pub with a sign outside the door. The pub was open at night and the barman was asleep while the drunks were snoring.
The candles around the tavern were still burning, but they were almost gone. The smell of the pub was neither bad nor good. It smelled of wine and seafood.
There were two other diners in the pub, who seemed to be having breakfast.
"Dang dang! Lister knocked on the bar in the following tavern.
"Anna!A visitor!"Tower, the tavern keeper, looked up at lister, called out, and leaned over the table again, drunk or sleepy.
"It's lister! What do you want to eat?"A very fat middle-aged woman came out and asked.
"Well! Anna is big...Elder sister give me a brown bread "Liszt originally want to call aunt, looking at Anna's age than his more than ten years old changed his mouth.
"Four coppers! Anna was not Liszt called eldest sister two show what smile, deadpan said.
"Well!Give!Four coppers!"Lister put the copper COINS on the counter.
"I have a copper coin, can I have half a glass of ale?"Lister asked.
Ale is two coppers a cup, but it is usually sold in full.
'yes!"Anna said deadpan.
"When!"Lister put the last coin on the counter and took a seat near the fireplace.
A little later Anna came with a plate on which lay a portion of brown bread and half a glass of ale. Liszt watched as the glass-filled two-thirds of the way as if calling Wayan had done something.
'thank you! Liszt said.
Anna turned to go back, and Liszt took a savory bite of brown bread, which was a little bitter, took another, and drank the ale down.
Wheat wine is the natural fermentation of wheat, the degree is not very high, the alcohol content can sterilize, the wine also has liquid barley and some fermented amino acids is very good for the body.
Liszt will not save a copper coin left, the body is the most important.

Chapter ii new life

When the brown bread was finished, he took all the crumbs from the table and put them in his mouth.
"Wasting food is not a good habit," Liszt said, feeling that he could eat three loaves of brown bread, no, five.
Hunger was still coming from his stomach, and he knew it was an illusion. He might have died if he had eaten three more.
"Well!A little sleepy!"Liszt didn't get a good night's rest and now he's got a nice warm fireplace to sleep in.
'no, I can't! He rubbed his eyes. He had to gather enough firewood for the night and something to eat.
Liszt walked outside the door, surrounded by the cool air, sleep suddenly disappeared.
"Time for work! He had to collect firewood. Besides the beach, there were many trees and weeds on the beach. But these are far from the seaside, it takes a long time to get there.
"Tired!He had walked nearly a quarter of an hour and was halfway down the road.
On the way, Liszt considered whether to run away to a distant place, so that he would not have to carry firewood a dozen times a day, and those staggering debts. But think about it for a moment. In my memory, if I needed money to go to another city, I might meet bandits and wild animals on the way. There were pirates on the sea and bandits on the land.
Even if he had narrowly escaped to another city and had no money, he would have become one of the homeless. After thinking about it, he thought it would be better to stay in Terrell.
He was not trying to run away from anything, nor was he breaking his promise. If he had been starving and working hard every day as the original owner, he would have been near death.
"I must think. I must find away."Liszt felt his head was strong enough to think of something after eating the bread.
Brainwork is also a kind of labor, also can make a person tired.
"There is! Since I can't increase the amount of firewood, I have to reduce the amount of firewood so that the brightness of the campfire remains the same. I don't need light on this side of the land. I can pick up some stones and put them on the land side of the bonfire. Liszt had an idea.
After a quarter of an hour, Liszt came to a beach where there were many weeds. Liszt picked up some dry grass.
After bundling two bundles of grass, a coarser branch was inserted between the two bundles of grass and lifted like a burden. On the beach, there was not only grass but also sparse undergrowth.
Carrying the wood home, he rested for a while on a stone, which was Liszt's sofa, with a back, but of stone.
Liszt sat until his ass was cold before he stood up. He was too poor to sit on a stone.
According to the previous memory of the original owner, he collected firewood for a day and then went to the seaside to pick up some seafood and cooked it in a box. Liszt was not the only one to pick up seafood.
At this time, there will be vegetable vendors in Terrell, and some bad leaves will be left on the ground.
Liszt took the parcel and went to the island where the plank and OARS were lying. He dragged the plank down the steps and paddled it across to the land.
When they reached the shore, they dragged the boards and OARS to the shore and tied them to the posts with ropes.
Walk ten minutes later to the vegetable market, looking at which vendors to close stalls, face what is the insoles, my face did not put in the home, Liszt thought.
A peddler was closing his stall, he hurried to pick up a few leaves on the ground, even though Liszt self-hypnotic, "I don't want face, my face is very thick," but Liszt's face is not as thick as his imagination, feel a little hot face, should be red.
"Look! Isn't that the William lee boy? What is he doing?"Said a market buyer and a person nearby.
"Well! Pick up leaves. It is pitiful to hear that he has a debt!"
The two men were not far from Liszt when they spoke and there was no deliberate restraint in their voices. They were not afraid of Liszt's hearing.
People are like this, the poor love the rich, even if a person by the pirates when the rich, will only praise his wealth, how to turn a blind eye to the money. If their neighbors neither steal nor rob, but are poor, they will ignore all the integrity or goodness of their neighbors and only laugh at their incompetence and poverty.
Liszt pretended not to hear, picked up the leaves and walked away. For people who provoke themselves, such people cannot be regarded as human beings. Although they are human beings, they behave like dogs, so it is the best choice to treat them as dogs and ignore them.
Vegetable leaf, especially green vegetable leaf has a lot of all sorts of vitamins that the human body needs, do not eat a vegetable for a long time can go to the bad, go to the bad can be weak, this also is the reason that Liszt picks up vegetable leaf.
Survival, that is, being alive, is Liszt's only goal at the moment, nothing else matters.
Liszt is not alone in picking up the leaves. Many children from poor families in the city also come to pick up the leaves.
Half an hour later, only a few vendors are still selling vegetables, Liszt's harvest is about three or two leaves, and more than half a jin of banana peel, orange peel, and other peel.
Leaves the harvest is not much, the skin is a lot of, banana peel can also when food to eat a lot of people don't know, but he remember to read on the Internet three o do useful banana do the dishes, the dark and medicinal herbs, dried orange peel can do treat throat itching have the effect very much, not to be scratched his throat itching when hand, a glass of dried orange peel water can relieve itching.
There are also some fruit rinsing can eat, and now there is no invention of pesticides, insects are caught by hand, fruit peel can also eat to supplement some fruit vitamins and sugar. People who lack sugar will have low blood pressure, low blood pressure will have no energy.
"What a wonderful beginning! Liszt was excited and had a good harvest, even though Liszt was no different now from the tramps, who had nothing, and looked even worse, and owed a lot of money.
However, in many places, Liszt has an advantage over the vagabond. For example, not everyone can come to the vegetable market to pick up the leaves. If a vagabond is sure to be evicted by the peddlers or guards in the vegetable market, they may steal things, which is more to affect the business.
Liszt was a commoner of the city of Terrell, familiar to all.
After picking up the leaves and skins of the vegetables, he took the parcel and went back home. After ten minutes, he paddled the plank back to his home.

Chapter three the red pine

They put the skins and vegetables in iron boxes, and went down the steps of an island, which they had dug up with stones along the slope of the earth, and washed the skins and leaves with the sea.
There may be fresh water on the island, but Liszt has no tools, washing vegetables and things only with seawater.
Rinsing the peel and leaves, Liszt touched the rocks in the sea, but there was nothing. The water around the island was so barren that there was not a shell.
Liszt thought about filling an iron box full of fruit peels and vegetable leaves with seawater to prevent bugs from eating or falling into it. The salt in the seawater could also keep it fresh.
Hide the iron box in the grass with a piece of stone as the lid. These are the vitamins and vegetables of the day. You have to be very careful.
Liszt continue to collect firewood, walked two minutes after passing the TanTuDe just pick up the grass, but the goal isn't to grass, continue to go forward, what exactly is that go to the mountain, firewood burning grass will soon burn out, the grass just has the effect of firing, the main is the best wood is roots, the roots are very resistant to burn, persistent very awesome, the most powerful coal, of course, this world there is coal, Liszt cannot afford, though, the most of the sea is a person also can't afford to buy, shipping is too expensive, where coal is usually far from the sea.
People generally burn firewood, the trees on the nearby hills have been cut down, Liszt had to go further. Climb a mountain finally arrived at the destination, a piece of seaside forest, the seaside is not barren, there is a forest, but less than the mountains.
The sky began to dark up, blow up a gust of cool wind blowing Liszt shiver, Liszt touched a thin layer of clothes can not help but speechless, mixed too miserable, not even a change of clothes, let alone thick clothes.
Wrapped tight clothes, Liszt bowed their heads and walked to the woods, feeling after a whole morning running in the morning to eat the bread of about the same, feel a little hungry, if now have a plate of beef steak, no, can eat in three steak, though there was a guest at a tavern in the morning to eat steak, Liszt to swallow a mouthful of saliva, no longer to think of the steak, grabbed a handful of fresh grass, pointed to her mouth, or good taste, taste is also very tender.
Eat grass is Liszt and previously owned a cat, a cat is in the bungalow, can run the full mountain, main is to prevent the scourge of mice in, nor how to feed at ordinary times, maybe tired of eating meat to eat chew up grass tip and is not a two times, Liszt cat really badly, around the neighbor's cat, mice don't see a few at ordinary times, the cat is too fierce competition between so Liszt cat eat locusts went to go to the mountain, unexpectedly also eat stomach slip circle. Liszt also learned this recruit, it is roast grasshopper, however, very sweet, the protein content of grasshopper is very high, eat many be bored with a person, however, Liszt also did not find grasshopper on the way to the mountain in this, otherwise supper can be saved solve.
"Alas! Eat grass!"Liszt kept his head down while walking and grabbed the grass tip to eat, the grass itself is not against hunger, or grass tip, Liszt ate for a while and felt uncomfortable stomach, a little indigestion.
"How I envy cows and sheep that can eat grass! If I could eat grass, I wouldn't be hungry!"Liszt thought.
Long branches of the sea is very high, but there are a lot of tree bark can easily stripped, there are some trees have a lot of adventitious roots, adventitious roots very thick thick like a baby's arm, Liszt harness on the bark of a lot more and adventitious roots, these things are not resistant to burn, the fire is also a science, the first step is the ignition of wood, as some dry grass, second, ignition dry bark cloth and the third step is to find some branches, followed by some thick branches, the last step is a big heavy log.
Liszt no tool, even if did not have a knife, before it is a rich young master, fine-boned no little strength, also cannot say that there is no strength, but compared to some bad away, just lifelike red pine tree in front of Liszt is some worry, Liszt's good luck met a dead tree and is a strong wind to blow the tree, the roots are blown up to more than half, only a few root tree roots in the soil.
Liszt hold tree with hand just now want to put it out of the soil, palm by feeling, use isn't up to the sun, a few root bark of burrs in the hand, like those farmers or dock workers, have a thick layer of calluses, what all penetrate, some people have no money to wear shoes in the country, walking barefoot some matter also have no, Liszt is washed-up, thorn of the hands to pick out some overcoats, looking at the red pine.
Under the mountain there are a lot of people are walking up the mountain, if not as soon as possible to pull out the red pine tree pull away, will become someone else's, "spell!Bah!Pei!"Lister spat on his hand.
This is not Liszt learn others embolden but foam can be anti-inflammatory, although only a little anti-inflammatory effect, better than nothing, Liszt again bent both hands embrace the tree roots, hard to pull out, "ha! Ah!!"Liszt drank low.
After Liszt's toss and turn, the tree was finally pulled up some more, only two thicker roots are still in the soil, "hiss!Ah...!Bah!Bah!Pei!"Liszt spit a few mouth foam on the palm of both hands, the hand of the small red thorn is a lot of, pricked Liszt heart is painful, can only soil a few mouth foam, foam can also stop a little pain.
With foot kick in the root of the tree, both hands force back and forth to push the root, the root is too tough, back and forth to push out a dozen times also only push out half. Stop and feel the thorn in the hand of the pain, the thorn is completely into the pain of Liszt shouted several times.
"No! I can't do this! Calm down! Something must be done, something will be done!"Liszt calmed down. Such a wild effort would not succeed.
Perhaps so, Liszt thought and began to practice, Liszt fell, opened his mouth and took the root of the tree with his teeth, which were the hardest part of the human body.
"Bah!Pei!"This time it was lister who was spitting on the ground, taking the bark and root dross out of his mouth.
"Hahaha!Haha...!" Liszt laughed and finally pulled out the red pine tree. Liszt was very excited.
"This red pine will burn all night long, and if it can be sawed through, it will require a sharp piece of stone. No, if the stone can be polished all night long, it will not give it even a piece of wood to be sawed through. Perhaps I can borrow a saw."Liszt thought.
