Aside from the brothers and sisters Drinin and Pevensy, Ray Pechip was the only one on the ship who noticed the sea people.When it saw the Sea King wielding his spear, he immediately jumped into the water, and because it saw this move as a threat or a challenge, it immediately prepared to fight it.But the excitement of discovering that the sea was so delicious and sweet distracted it that before it could think of the seaman again, Lucy and Drinin quickly took it aside and warned it not to mention what they had seen.Later, things didn't bother them much, because at this time, the "Dawn Treader" was moving quietly in a sea that seemed to be uninhabited.No one had ever seen the Seaman except Lucy, and she had only glanced at it in a hurry.The next morning, they sailed in very shallow water, and the bottom of the sea was full of aquatic weeds.Lucy only saw a large school of fish grazing on the aquatic weeds just before noon.They are all eating methodically, and all the fish are swimming in the same direction."
It's like a flock of sheep."
Lucy pondered in her heart.Suddenly, she saw a young ama of her age appear among the fish, a rather docile-looking, lonely-looking girl holding something that looked like a hook in her hand.Lucy believed that the girl must have been a shepherdess, or perhaps a shepherd girl, and that the fish were grazing like sheep.The fish and the girl were very close to the water.And just as the girl was gliding in the shallow water, Lucy happened to be lying on the bulwark and looking down, and the two of them took a photo.The girl looked up and stared straight into Lucy's face.No one could open their mouths to speak to the other, for in a few moments the girl was left behind the boat.But Lucy will never forget her face, for it doesn't look as full of fear or anger as the other seamen.Lucy liked that girl, and she could sense that that girl must have liked her too.Somehow, they became friends in that instant, though in this world or in other worlds, they had little chance of seeing each other again.But I think that if there was a day, they would have stretched out their hands and rushed towards each other.For many days after that, the ship's mast did not encounter the wind, and there was no foam on the bow, and the Dawn Tread sailed smoothly eastward, passing a calm, waveless sea.The light shines brighter every hour of the day, but they can always bear it.No one eats, no one sleeps, and most importantly, no one wants to eat or sleep at all.They put down their buckets and drank from the dazzling water of the sea, which was stronger than wine, in short, moister than ordinary water, and more pleasant to drink, and they toasted each other silently, and drank it all.One or two of the crew had aged a little at the beginning of the voyage, but were getting younger day by day.Everyone on board was filled with joy and excitement, but not so excited that they wanted to speak.The farther they sailed, the less they spoke, and by the end of the day, it was almost as if they were whispering.They were fascinated by the silence of the sea."
Your Excellency," said Caspin to Drinin one day, "do you see anything ahead?"
"Your Majesty," replied Drininin, "I see a white field.Everywhere I could see, along the horizon, from north to south. ”"That's what I saw," Caspian said, "and I can't imagine what it was." ”"Your Majesty, if we were at high latitudes," said Drininen, "I would say it was ice.But it can't be ice, there won't be ice here.I think we'd better have someone paddling and controlling the boat and not going with the current.Whatever it was, we couldn't afford to rush through it at that speed. ”Everyone did as Drinin told, and the ship moved slower and slower, slower.As they approached there, the incredible whiteness did not diminish in the slightest.If this is a piece of land, it must be a very peculiar land, because it seems to be as smooth and calm as the surface of the water, and it is highly parallel to the surface of the water.When they were almost close to it, Drinin turned the rudder vigorously and turned the Dawn Treading to the south, so that the side was facing the current, and then paddled a short distance south along the white edge.In doing so, they made an unexpectedly important discovery: it turned out that the current was only forty feet wide, and the rest of the sea was still as calm as a pond.The discovery was good news for the crew, who had already been worried about the journey back to La Mandou, which would have been a hard ride if they had to paddle against the current.This also explains why the fish girl fell behind the boat so quickly, because she was not in that current.If she had been in there at the time, she would have been able to swim towards the east at the same speed as a boat.However, no one could figure out what the white thing was.Then they put the boat in the water and planned to investigate.Those who remained on the Dawn Tread could clearly see the boat rowing straight into the white.Immediately afterward, they all distinctly heard the startled voices of the men in the boat coming from the still water.While Reiniff was measuring the depth of the water at the bow of the boat, there was a pause; After that, when the boat rowed back, it seemed that a lot of white things had been loaded onto the boat.People scrambled to the side to listen to the news."
Your Majesty, this is a lily," shouted Reinev from the bow of the boat."
What do you say," Casbin asked."
Your Majesty, it is a lily in full bloom," said Reiniff, "exactly like the garden or the pond in our hometown." ”"Look," Lucy said.At this moment, she was standing at the stern of the boat, raising her wet arms, and saw that the palms of her hands were full of white petals and broad, flat leaves."
Reiniff, what is the depth of the water?"
asked Drininin."
What a miracle, captain," replied Reiniff, "and the water is still very deep, three and a half fathoms." ”"It can't be a real lily, not what we call a lily there."
Eustace said after taking a closer look.Maybe they're not, but they're very similar.Then, after some deliberation, the "Dawn Treading Waves" turned back and sailed back into the current, crossing Lily Lake, or the Silver Sea, both of which they had tried, but it was the "Silver Sea" that is still in use today, and it was the name that is currently used on Casbyan's map, and began to sail east.At this time, the most bizarre part of their voyage began.The open sea they had just left was just a thin blue edge on the western horizon.It was white and white, with a faint hint of gold, and the lilies around the hull were forcefully lined up on both sides of the ship, forming a passage in the stern of the water, shining like dark green glass.Looking at it this way, this last piece of the sea was very much like the North Pole, and if their eyes had not become as powerful as eagle's eyes now, then they would have been unable to bear the sun above that vast white expanse, especially in the early morning when the sun was at its strongest.Every evening, that same white color makes the days longer.The lilies seem to be boundless and endless.Day after day, the scent of those thousands of miles of white flowers wafted all day long, and Lucy found it difficult to describe the sweetness, but it was not the kind of sweetness that made you drowsy or too strong, but a fresh, wild, quiet smell that seemed to burrow into your mind, making you feel like you could run up a mountain or even fight an elephant.She and Caspian both said to each other, "I don't think I can stand it any longer, but I don't want it to stop." ”They often measure the depth of the water, and after a few days the water starts to get shallower, and it has been getting shallower ever since.One day, they had to paddle their way through the current, groping their way like a snail.It didn't take long for everyone to understand that the Dawn Wave could no longer go any further.In fact, it was a very skilful command that avoided the stranding."
Put the boat down," Caspian ordered, "and gather all the crew to the stern, I have something to say to you." ”"What is he going to do," Eustace whispered to Edmund, "he has a strange look in his eyes. ”"I think we probably all look like that at the moment."
Edmund replied.Together with Casbian, they stood in the stern.After a few moments, all the people gathered together and crowded to the foot of the ladder to listen to the king."
My friends," said Casper, "we have now completed the quest that you have been engaged in.All seven lords have been found, and Ser Repecip has sworn that he will never return, and when you return to La Mandou, you will find that all three lords, William Ray, Algaz, and Maframon, have woken up.As for you, Lord Drinin, I entrust this ship to you, and I command you to do everything you can to return to Narnia at full speed, and above all, not to land on the island of Dead Waters.At the same time, remember to inform my Lord Regent, Dwarf Durupkin, that he should give all the rewards I promised to all my fellow shippers.They deserve to be rewarded.If I don't come back again, my will will be for the Regent and Justice Knells, Truverhant the Badger, and Lord Drinin to unanimously elect a new King of Narnia" "But, Your Majesty," Drinin interrupted him, "Are you going to abdicate?"
”Caspian replied excitedly.There was a panicked murmur among the sailors."
We're going to take that little boat," said Casbyan, "the sea is calm, you don't need a small boat, you'll have to make another one when you get to La Mandou, but now" "Kesby," Edmund suddenly roared, "you can't do this," "by no means," said Repechip, "Your Majesty must not." ”"Not really."
Drinin also said."
No," Caspian screamed, and at that moment, he really looked no different from his uncle Miruz."
I beg your Majesty's forgiveness," said Reiniff below deck, "if any of us do this, it is deserters." ”"Reiniff, though you have been serving me for many years, you are too presumptuous in what you say," Caspian was a little angry."
Your Majesty, you are wrong, and his words are completely correct."
Drinin said."
In Aslan's name," Caspian said, "I consider all of you here to be my subjects, not my teachers. ”"I'm not your subject," said Edmund, "and I'll tell you, you can't. ”"Again, no," Caspian grimly turned, "what do you mean by that?"
"If Your Majesty doesn't mind me repeating it, we mean that you shouldn't." ”Reppechip bowed deeply, "You are the king of Narnia, and if you don't go back, you will be dishonest to all your people, especially to Durupkin."
You shouldn't be like an ordinary person who only cares about his own pleasure and indulges in these adventures.If Your Majesty does not listen to these words, then everyone on board will disarm you with me and tie you up until you come to your senses, which is true loyalty. ”"That's right," said Edmund, "just like Ulysses 6 did to him when he went to get close to the water monster. ”Caspian's hand was already on the hilt of his sword, when Lucy spoke, "Moreover, you promised Lamandu's daughter that you would go back to her. ”Caspian paused."
Oh yes, there is."
He said.He stood there hesitating, thinking for a moment, and then shouted to all the crew, "Well, listen to you.The search is over, let's all go back and hoist the boat up again. ”"Your Majesty," said Reppechip, "we are not going to go back all.I, as I have indicated before," "shut up," Caspian cried out, "I've taken a lesson, but I'm not going to be fooled anymore."
Isn't there anyone who can make that mouse a little quieter?"
"Your Majesty has promised," said Repechip, "to be a good monarch of Narnia's talking animals." ”"Talking animals, yes," said Casbian, "but I've never said they're talking animals." ”With that, he angrily descended the ladder, stepped into the cabin, and slammed the door shut.But when the others came into the cabin and came to him, they found that his expression had changed, and his face was pale and his eyes were filled with tears."
It was completely useless," he said sadly, "that I should have handled everything very decently, but I lost my temper, bluffed, and threatened others.Aslan has already told me that.No, I'm not saying it does appear here.You know, this cabin alone can't hold its body.But the golden lion head on the wall came to life and spoke to me.Its eyes were terrifying, not that it was rough with me, just a little harsh at first, but still terrifying.And it says it says oh, I can't bear it to be the worst thing he's ever said: you're going to go ahead with Reppechip, Edmund, Lucy, Eustace, and I'm going to have to go back alone and at once."
So, what does all this mean to me?"
"Dear Casper," Lucy comforted him, "you know, sooner or later we all have to go back to our own world. ”"That being said," said Caspian whimper, "but it was too fast. ”"When you get back to the island of La Mandou, you'll feel better."
Lucy said.It took a while for Caspian to pick himself up.The separation was painful for both parties, and I don't need to go into details.At about two o'clock in the afternoon, they had enough food and water, and although they thought they needed neither food nor water, they put Repechip's raft in the boat.The boat left the Dawn Wave and rowed past the boundless lilies.The Dawn Tread hoisted all its flags and hoisted its coat of arms to see them off.They are in a lower position and are surrounded by lilies.Looking up at the "Dawn Treading Waves", it feels tall and intimate.They watched as the ship turned around and began to paddle slowly westward, gradually disappearing from view.Lucy shed a few tears, but she wasn't as sad as you might expect.The light, the serenity, the thrilling scent of the silver sea, and even the loneliness around it, are so exciting.There was no need for paddling, as the current propelled their boats to the east.None of them slept or ate.All night and all day the next day, their boat drifted eastward, and then at dawn on the third day.It was something you and I couldn't stand it, even with sunglasses on, they saw a great spectacle ahead.It looked as if a wall was between them and the sky, a crab-blue, trembling, shimmering wall.Then the sun came out.They saw the sun rising through the wall.It changed into a wonderful rainbow color, and then they realized that the wall was actually a long, tall wave, a wave that was forever fixed in one place, like the curtain of water that you often see on the edge of a waterfall.It appeared to be about thirty feet tall, and the current was sliding their boat swiftly and nimbly toward the wave.You might think they're worried about their safety, but they don't.I don't think anyone would think that way in their situation.Because they now see not just behind the waves, but also behind the sun.If their eyesight had not been strengthened by the light of the water in the last of the sea, they would not have been able to even look directly at the sun.But now, they can watch the sun rise, and they can see it clearly, and they can see beyond it.They saw that in the east, beyond the sun, there was a row of mountains.Either the mountain is so high that they can't even see the top, or they forget it.None of them remembered if there was any sky in that direction.And those mountains must indeed exist outside of this world.Because any mountain range, even if it is only one-twentieth the height of those mountains, there should be ice and snow on the mountain.But no matter how high these mountains seem to you, they are warm and verdant, full of forests and waterfalls.Suddenly, a breeze blew in from the east, blowing the crests of the waves into foamy shapes, blowing the smooth water around them.It lasted only a second, but the three children will never forget that second.This gust of wind brought a scent and a sound, which was a burst of music.Afterwards, neither Edmund nor Eustace said anything about it.Lucy could only say, "That really breaks your heart." ”"Oh," I said in astonishment, "is it so sad," "isn't it sad," said Lucy.The people in the boat had no doubt that they had seen the land of Aslan beyond the end of the world.At this moment, only a click was heard, and the boat ran aground.Now the water is too shallow for the boat to continue rowing."
Here," said Repechip, "is where I'm going to go on my road alone." ”They weren't even trying to stop it, because it all seemed like fate had happened before.They helped it lower the little raft into the water.Then, it unloaded its sword."
I don't need it anymore."
It said, throwing its sword far away at once, into the shallow sea opposite.The sword fell, sticking straight into it, only the hilt of the sword sticking out of the water.Then it said goodbye to them, trying to show a sad look to them, but it trembled with happiness.For Lucy, it was the first and last time she did what she had always wanted to do, which was to open her arms and caressed it.Immediately, it hurriedly jumped onto the raft, rowed its oars, and the current rolled up the raft and floated away with it.There were no lilies growing on the waves, it was a smooth green slope, and the raft was moving faster and faster, and the scene of the raft rising into the sky on the side of the wave was really beautiful.At that crucial moment, they saw the shape of the raft and the figure of Repechip standing at the very top, and then they suddenly disappeared, and from then on, no one could be sure that they had seen Repechip, the mouse.However, I believe it has made it safely to the land of Aslan, and is still living there today.As the sun rises, the mountains outside the world fade into view.The wave was still there, but there was only blue sky behind it.The children got out of the boat and waded not towards the waves, but towards the south of the wall of water to their left.There's no way they can tell you why they're doing it, that's their fate.And while they felt like they had grown up and matured when they were on the Dawn Treader, now they felt the opposite, holding hands and wading through the lily.They never felt the slightest tiredness.The water is very warm and continues to get shallower.At last they came to the dry sand, and then to the meadow a great plain, overgrown with very fine dwarf grass, almost at the same level as the Silver Sea, and spread out in all directions, without even a small mole molehill.Of course, a flat, treeless place always looks as if the sky has come down and joined the grass in front of them.As they walked on, they had the most bizarre impression that the sky was finally truly connected to the ground, a blue wall, very bright and unusually solid, more like glass than anything else.Soon they were sure that they were now very close to the sky.However, in the green grass between them and Skyrim, there was something snow-white that even they with eagle eyes couldn't look at.They went up and looked closely, and saw that it was a lamb."
Come and have breakfast."
The lamb said in a pleasant, soft voice.It was only then that they first noticed a fire on the grass with fish roasted on it.They sat down to eat the fish, and for the first time in days, they felt hungry.It was the most delicious food they had ever tasted."
Tell me, little sheep," said Lucy, "is this the road leading to the land of Aslan?"
"This is not the way you should go," said the little sheep, "and your gate to the land of Aslan is in your own world. ”"What" Edmund was taken aback, "Is there also a road in our world to the land of Aslan" "All the worlds have a road to my land. ”The lamb said.As it spoke, its snow-white fur turned an exciting golden yellowish-brown, and its size grew larger, as it was Aslan, above them, its mane glowing with a dazzling golden light."
Oh, Aslan," cried Lucy happily, "can you tell us how we are going to get to your land in our world," "I will tell you constantly," said Aslan, "but I will not tell you how long or short the road is, but it must cross a river.But don't be afraid, because I'm a great bridge-builder.Come now, and I will open the gates of heaven and send you back to your own place. ”"Aslan, please," Lucy pleaded, "before we go, can you tell us when we can come back to Narnia again, please, oh, please, make sure that this day comes a little sooner." ”"My dearest," Aslan said softly, "you and your brother will never be able to return to Narnia again. ”"Oh, Aslan," shouted Edmund and Lucy in unison in despair."
Children, you are too old," Aslan said, "and you must now be close to your own world. ”"It's not because of Narnia, you know," Lucy sobbed, "it's because of you."
We'll never see you there again, we'll never see you again, that's how we live" "Honey, but you'll meet me. ”Aslan said."
So, are you in that world, your Excellency," asked Edmund."
I'm here.""

But I used a different name there.You must learn to know me by that name.That's why I brought you here to Narnia, where you know a little bit about me and you can learn more about me there. ”"There's no way Eustace can come back here," Lucy asked."
Child," said Aslan, "do you really need to know this, come, I will open a door in heaven." ”At the same time, a crack opened in the blue wall as if the curtains had been torn, and a terrible white light shone in from the sky, and they felt Aslan's mane and the lion king's kiss sweep over their foreheads, and then they returned to Aunt Abetta's house in Cambridge.There are only two things that need to be explained.One was that Caspian and his men were all safely back to the island of La Mandou, and that all three lords had woken up from their slumber.Caspian married the daughter of La Mandou, and they both ended up in Narnia, where she eventually became a great queen, as well as the mother and grandmother of several great kings.Another thing happened in our own world, and it didn't take long for everyone to start talking about how Eustace got better, and claiming that "you'd never know he's the same kid as before".Only Aunt Abeta said he had become very mediocre and pedantic, and that he was annoying.I think it must have been a lot of influence from the children of the Pevensey family.1DF is an abbreviation of DearitteFriend, which means "dear little friend".2.
