Chapter 62: Sacrifice
On the way back, we walked very fast because of our hearts.
The only windfall was the capture of a few pheasants.
When it was almost dark, Fang Ran and I rushed back to the cave.
As soon as she walked into the cave where she was resting, Lin Ke'er greeted her as soon as possible, "Senior brother, how about going out this time?"
When she saw me holding a pheasant in her hand, she immediately smiled.
"There is actually a pheasant, then we will eat wild ** today. ”
Naturally, she took the pheasant from my hand and turned to deal with it.
Zhang Jiayi glared at the chickens, quite dissatisfied, "You went out all day, and you caught these pheasants?"
In the past, when I went out all day, I brought back twice as much game.
But the purpose of Fang Ran and I going out was to find something, so how could we have time to hunt?
I said lightly: "We found the mountain, and found that there seemed to be a green light flashing on the mountain from time to time, so we went to look for that thing." ”
"Green light?" Zhang Jiayi repeated, and then her expression changed, surprised, incredulous, and apprehensive, "Have you found it?"
Zhang Jiayi is really smart, just by saying a green light, she has a guess.
I shook my head, "When we go up the mountain, we won't be able to find the green light, the mountain is too big, so we'll come back to discuss with you and look for it tomorrow." ”
"Okay, I'll find it tomorrow. ”
Zhang Jiayi immediately agreed, and her expression was also very urgent.
Lin Ke'er was handling the chicken, and when she heard the words, she looked at me for some reason, "Senior brother, what is it?"
It was me who asked, but Zhang Jiayi preemptively replied, "Are you stupid, how can there be a green light flashing on such a desert island?" I guess it must be something like a 'communicator'." ”
Lin Ke'er froze in place, looking at me with verifying eyes.
I nodded, "Fang Ran and I also guessed the same, but after going up the mountain, we couldn't find the green light." ”
"Then there must be no power!"
Zhang Jiayi took it for granted, with an excited face.
I glanced at Fang Ran, Zhang Jiayi's thoughts were the same as ours.
I said again, "We thought the same thing, but when we came down the mountain, we came across a snake whose eyes were like emeralds, and they glowed green. ”
My words are like a basin of cold water poured down.
The smile on Zhang Jiayi's face froze, and she looked at me in a daze, and then retorted.
"No way, how can a snake's eyes glow green? ”
I stopped talking and looked at Fang Ran.
Fang Ran said lightly, "I also saw it, that snake's eyes really glowed green."
So we can't be sure if the green light we saw at that time was what we guessed. ”
"It must be the thing we guessed, no, I'm going to find it. ”
Zhang Jiayi said, walking outside.
I can understand Zhang Jiayi's feelings, she finally had hope, but it was broken again, and it was difficult for anyone to accept.
Just like I was at the beginning.
It's just that when we came back, it was already dark, and we couldn't let Zhang Jiayi go out, so I dodged in front of her.
Zhang Jiayi opened her mouth as if she wanted to scold me, and I hurriedly said: "It's already dark outside, how dangerous the desert island is at night, you don't know it, right?"
Because of my words, she opened her mouth, but she could not utter the curse words, and finally walked to the side and sat down on the ground in resentment.
Lin Keer's expression also changed from disbelief to surprise, and finally to loss.
I opened my mouth to be comforted, and Friday suddenly walked up to me and pulled me with a look of eagerness and panic.
I was surprised, "What's wrong?"
Friday heard my inquiry with a snake-like 'hiss' sound coming out of his mouth.
And I said, "You said the snake we met? Is there something wrong with that snake?"
Friday nodded, still with a frightened expression on his face, pointing at Fang Ran, and then pointing upward, his mouth kept calling.
This time, I didn't understand what Friday meant, and I looked at him blankly.
Fang Ran seemed to see something, and asked, "Friday, are you saying that there is something wrong with the snake?"
Friday nodded again, hissing in his mouth, repeating the previous gesture in his hand.
Snake, heaven, Fang Ran.
I pondered the connection between the three in my mind.
Suddenly thinking of Fang Ran's arrest as a 'sacrifice' before, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
I looked at Friday, "Friday, you're saying that the snake is going to bring disaster to people?"
Friday nodded, and there was a moment of silence in the cave.
Zhang Jiayi suddenly said: "Cut, a snake can bring disaster? ”
I also had a smile on my face, and as a materialist, I didn't believe that either.
Then I heard Zhang Jiayi speak again, "Also, I don't believe that snake's eyes can glow green."
We'll go up the mountain together tomorrow to find it, and that thing will definitely be a 'communicator.'" ”
I glanced at Fang Ran, saw her nodding, and then looked at Lin Ke'er.
Lin Ke'er was busy handling the pheasants and didn't pay attention to us, so I had to speak.
"Kerr, what do you think?"
Lin Ke'er replied without raising his head: "Let's look for it together tomorrow." ”
Obviously, even Lin Ke'er didn't care about the disaster that the snake said on Friday.
I opened my mouth, about to talk about the suspected 'gold powder' again, but I was pulled by Fang Ran.
She shook her head at me, obviously not wanting me to say anything else.
Seeing that her face was firm, after thinking about it, I didn't say anything more, and stepped forward to help Lin Ke'er make food.
Seeing that we weren't nervous at all, Friday rushed to me and kept gesturing.
I know that as a native-born Aboriginal with no higher education, I naturally believe in these things.
I comforted, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”
But apparently what I said had no effect on Friday, and he was still anxious.
I guess if I don't do something, I won't stop on Friday, so I have to ask, "What then?"
"Huh. ”
A sneer came, and when I heard the voice, I knew it was Zhang Jiayi.
I didn't have time to pay attention to her, so I decided to calm Friday down first.
Friday listened to my inquiry, smiled, and pointed to the unprocessed pheasant on the ground, and then to the sky.
I understood that he was asking me to 'sacrifice'.
As Friday intended, I walked over to the remaining pheasants and picked up one of them.
Zhang Jiayi said dissatisfiedly, "Yang Zhi, you don't want to follow this wild man crazy, do you?" ”
Fang Ran said: "Friday is worried about everyone, which means to calm his heart." ”
Lin Ke'er nodded in agreement, "Well, let's just say it briefly." ”
Seeing that Fang Ran and Lin Ke'er were on our side, Zhang Jiayi snorted and didn't care about us anymore, but the unwillingness on her face couldn't be hidden.
I smiled and looked at Friday, "Friday, what are we going to do?"
Friday pointed outside, and walked away.
I hurriedly picked up a torch and lit it and followed him.
Zhang Jiayi's sarcastic words came from behind him, "It's really sick to follow such a superstitious thing." ”
I ignored it and followed Friday out of the cave to finish the 'sacrifice' before returning to rest.
