Chapter 216 Disease
Rebecca's actions made Wendy laugh. She felt that her teachings were effective. She was just seizing every opportunity to take advantage!
Ian was a little confused. She really thought Rebecca was looking for something by doing this. Just now, she was also searching Vic's body.
After all, Ain is still a child and has a lot of interest in magic.
After setting up the easel and putting up the canvas, Vic began to slowly paint the scene on the canvas, covering it layer by layer. The proportion of the distant view and the close view, and the contrast between the flower sea, the wooden house and the characters were slowly presented on the canvas.
This surprised Rebecca and Wendy. Now they were no longer in their original positions, but were watching Vic painting. However, Vic only took a glance at that time, and now he transferred the scene at that time to the canvas without a single detail. Although only half of the painting was done, it was enough to see the whole picture. This observation and memory shocked Wendy greatly.
Rebecca grew up with Vic and was well aware of his learning ability, but she never expected that Vic could remember even the small details in the pictures so clearly.
Ian had no other thoughts, he just thought Vic was so powerful and seemed to be omnipotent.
Painting is not something that can be completed in a few steps, and the painting that Vic is painting is not small. He needs to restore the bouquets of flowers more finely. It should not be something that looks like a sea of flowers but is blurry and has no details when you look closely. It cannot be completed in a short time, so Vic asked them to go somewhere else so that they don't have to keep staring at him.
Rebecca didn't look for long before she took Wendy and Ian and walked through the sea of flowers.
Without the noise around Vic, he could paint more quietly. However, the silence didn't last long on Vic's side before things started to get busy again.
There are also many foreign tourists visiting the sea of flowers. Now Vic is painting alone in the sea of flowers, which is very eye-catching.
Needless to say, he is good-looking, having inherited the excellent genes from his parents. He is a high-quality human being that human traffickers want to kidnap. Many single young ladies came over to watch.
You don't know until you see it. You'll be shocked. The people and paintings are beautiful, and there's nothing wrong with them. They really want to replace the characters in the paintings with themselves.
Several young ladies had infatuated expressions on their faces, looking at Vic who was painting in a trance. None of them spoke for fear of disturbing the beauty of the moment. As the saying goes, you are enjoying the scenery in the sea of flowers, and you yourself have become the scenery in the eyes of others.
Although Vic was a little unhappy about being watched by so many girls, these people did not disturb him substantially. The sea of flowers was also a public area, not his alone, so Vic could only concentrate on painting and ignore the sound of people swallowing saliva.
Rebecca and the other two were now staying in a wooden house among the sea of flowers. They were received by a girl of the same age as them, so she did not notice that Vic was being watched by a group of young ladies. Otherwise, she might have used force to resolve the matter. After all, Vic was the person she had chosen, so how could she let those unknown people covet him?
"Xiao Nan, your hometown is so beautiful. This blue land and pink sea of flowers give me the illusion of being in a dream world. What kind of surprises will there be in the capital city that I haven't visited yet?"
Rebecca said enviously to the girl sitting across the table that they had just met in the sea of flowers and had a good chat because they were about the same age.
Xiaonan originally wanted to go to her own flower field to pick some flower petals to exchange for some money in the capital, but she met Rebecca and the other two on the way. Rebecca took the initiative to come up and chat with them. Finally, Xiaonan stopped picking flowers and invited the three people to her home with the flowers she had picked.
"Haha, the island was not like this when I was a child. They only grew ordinary crops here. It didn't become a holy place for love, and not many people came here to play. Only pirates would come to the island occasionally!" Xiaonan's smile was a little forced as he recounted what he had seen as a child.
Xiaonan looked a little thin. Although she was wearing a decent goose yellow dress, she was not very tall. She was almost a head shorter than Rebecca, and a little dark, which was probably because she often worked in the flower fields.
Xiaonan's wooden house is not very big, with only one floor. In addition to the living room of about seven or eight square meters, there are only two small side rooms. It seems that all the houses in the sea of flowers are like this. It seems that in order not to destroy the ornamental value of the sea of flowers, the size of the wooden house is specified.
"It seems that your king is very good at doing business. In order to attract tourists, he changed the customs of the island and spread the island's reputation. It's not easy!"
Wendy felt a little emotional. The transmission of information in this world was still relatively backward, especially here in the Grand Line. It was very unusual for an island to become famous within a dozen years. It took hundreds of years for the previous island hot spring town to become famous in the Grand Line. That's why Wendy said that the king of this country was very capable.
"Maybe, but I feel that life now is not as good as when I was a child. The king has changed. He only likes money now!" Xiaonan did not elaborate on the matter. Maybe she herself could not explain the changes clearly.
"cough cough"
Just then, an old coughing sound came from the side room, which was terrifying. Rebecca and Ian were also startled, and Wendy also trembled. They all looked towards the place where the sound came from.
"Well, I'm sorry, that's my grandma. She's sick and lying in bed. She must be thirsty. Please wait a moment." Xiaonan said apologetically, and then went to the small house over there with the cup of water.
"I didn't expect there was a patient in the room. Rebecca, didn't you sense it with your observation color?" Wendy asked Rebecca.
"No, I haven't activated my Observation Haki before. We're out to play today, so I didn't activate it." Rebecca shook her head. This was why she didn't notice that there was a group of young ladies surrounding Vic.
"Konan's grandmother seems to be very ill. Is there no good doctor on this island?" Rebecca used her Observation Haki to sense Konan's grandmother's physical condition. It seemed to her that her breath was very weak, as if she was about to die at any time.
"I don't think so. A complete country should have no shortage of doctors. It just depends on whether there are doctors with particularly good medical skills." Wendy analyzed and said.
After a while, Xiaonan came out with sadness in her eyes, and smiled apologetically at the three girls. Rebecca and Wendy didn't care about it at all. It was the three of them who disturbed others from taking care of the patient, and they should be the ones who should feel embarrassed.
"Sister Xiaonan, when did grandma fall ill?" It was Ain who spoke. Her train of thought was particularly different.
"My grandma fell ill two years ago, and I took over the care of these flower fields after that. She hasn't gotten better since she fell ill, and the doctors can't find any problems. Her health is getting worse and worse, and she can only lie in bed all the time. There are many elderly people like this on the island who have no idea what diseases they have!"
Xiaonan was also sad when talking about her grandmother. She was an orphan and was adopted by her grandmother since she was a child. The two of them had depended on each other for many years. Now her grandmother's illness has become a source of worry for her. She picked flowers to sell today in order to ask a doctor to check the situation.
