Soon.

The sun sets.

Locals gather around the fire, singing and dancing.

Every household brings some food and wine, which is made from a wild fruit on the island, which is brewed by almost every family, and has a strong sweet and sour taste in the mouth, and tastes a bit like plum wine.

It's rare for the volcanic island to host a grand celebration, with thousands of people coming tonight.

As far as the eye can see, the beach is full of people, and the shore is full of boats of various shapes.

One large fire is certainly not enough, there are several smaller bonfires scattered around, so much so that even with the sea breeze, it is still very hot, and there are no electric lights on the island, these fires mainly serve as lighting.

A total of 10 sheep were slaughtered beforehand, and the number of marine fish was even greater, including a bluefin tuna that had been caught ashore by a concerted effort.

In the eyes of the locals, there is no concept of whether the sea fish is expensive or not, and the big blue fin, which is about 400 catties by sight, is skewered with two wooden sticks tonight, and is baked next to the bonfire, gradually exuding an attractive fragrance.

If there are fishmongers present, they may cry out with a sour nose and scold a few words of violence.

Bluefin tuna is becoming scarce and fishing has been banned in the surrounding waters, but the volcanic islands are certainly not under the jurisdiction of the law.

There are only a few small sampans and primitive fishing tools on the island, and the damage to the sea is extremely limited.

Lin Xiaobao likes whales and dolphins, but he is not an avid marine animal protector, and he has already seen this big fish several times between drinks, and he is waiting for dinner.

Having eaten yellowfin tuna and sashimi before, he didn't know what grilled bluefin tuna was like, so he was ready to save his stomach for it.

As the core figure of tonight's bonfire dinner, Lin Xiaobao held a coconut shell as a wine glass, and unconsciously drank several large glasses in the laughter and conversation of others.

He thinks it's just a home-brewed fruit wine, and the alcohol content is at most the same as beer, and it belongs to the kind of low-alcohol wine that can be drunk without getting drunk, so it is bold enough.

The old priest and Delia can both act as interpreters, and they have no problem communicating with strangers on the island, and occasionally say some modern words from Lin Xiaobao's mouth, which are directly translated by the two of them into meanings that the villagers can understand.

The old priest of Caporeni pinned all his hopes for the transformation of the volcanic island on Lin Xiaobao. Delia was more satisfied with this man from outside the island, and after getting along for so many days, she quietly accepted the arrangement of fate and tied herself to Lin Xiaobao.

Therefore, they are trying to make everyone happy tonight, so as not to have an accident in tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony, and take the opportunity to know each other in advance, and it will be convenient to manage in the future.

......

The excitement belongs to others.

A man named Karaka, who came to trouble Lin Xiaobao a few days ago, was accidentally hit on the head by a coconut crab and fainted.

After waking up, he rested in bed until today, and until now his head still hurts when he touches it, and he only dares to sleep on his stomach at night.

New hatreds and old grudges are all counted on Lin Xiaobao.

At this time, Karaka held a stick made of stone, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, weighing about 30 catties.

He stood on the edge of the coconut grove, and saw the hilarious scene in front of him, and his mind was full of thoughts that if it weren't for the sudden appearance of an outsider, the protagonist of tonight should be himself.

Because of this, I was so annoyed that I was short of breath and my eyes were bloodshot.

There were several other men beside Karaka, all of Karaka's brothers.

His old man, who was the village chief, was more powerful, and he gave birth to ten children with several women in the early years, all of them were boys, and finally gave birth to a baby daughter.

Due to illness and accidents over the years, there are currently seven of Karaka's brothers left, and only one is underage, and all of them are strong.

Tonight they obeyed Karaka's arrangement, and rushed to support the field with weapons and make a strong noise.

There is also a little girl next to this group of people, seeing that her complexion is about to turn black, it is estimated that she plays around a lot on weekdays and basks in the sun all year round.

She was munching on the rabbit leg, although she was still young, but her head was smarter than that of her brothers, and she blinked and asked, "Karaka, that strange man in white is your enemy?"

was about to take a breath and was suddenly demolished by his own sister.

At that time, I felt that it was a shame to be hit by a coconut crab, and when I went home, I only told these family members that I was attacked by Lin Xiaobao.

Karaka, who had been staring at Delia for a long time, was even more angry at her when she saw how happy she was tonight, and bowed her head to her sister who was holding the rabbit leg:

"You know what, I believe that Delia was only bewitched by outsiders, and I will throw him into the fire tonight to sacrifice to the gods!

Say that.

Karaka's chest twitched, and he took a deep breath.

He stepped forward and raised the stone stick, and when he walked to the crowd on the shore, he shouted, "I am your chief! I am the one who is approved by God! Outsiders are not qualified to be chiefs!

The voice is very loud, and it instantly attracts the attention of countless people.

When many villagers saw Karaka, they subconsciously stopped moving their hands.

Speaking of Karaka, don't look amazing, her muscles are particularly strong. Since he was a child, he loved to cause trouble, relying on brute force to swagger everywhere, once he took a fancy to a young woman, and challenged according to the ancient tradition of the island, and beat the other man's man with his fists until he vomited blood, and died before dawn.

Volcanic Island is a small and sparsely populated area, so little that a little news can quickly spread throughout the island.

On weekdays, the villages are quite harmonious, and the residents of the island are at peace with their encounters and live a stable life, and their fighting spirit has long been wiped out by the life without foreign enemies, so after the appearance of such a bully, everyone does not dare to take the initiative to provoke Karaka.

The old priest of Caporeni, who saw Karaka from afar, had a headache for it.

In the past, the tallest man among the short people took a fancy to Karaka's fame, felt that he could suppress others, and also had a bit of brains, so he was willing to take the initiative to help and let Karaka compete for the chieftain position.

As Lin Xiaobao appeared on the volcanic island by chance, the old priest's mind became active, and his thoughts quickly changed.

Now that the old chief is dead, why not find a clever outsider to help the island reconnect with the outside world?

For this reason, the old priest traveled to various villages beforehand, and talked to Karaka once during this time, and it seemed that the other party did not pay attention to it at all, otherwise he would choose to make trouble tonight.

It is rare for a dispute over power to arise on the volcanic island, and the old priest is also a little overwhelmed for a while.

At this time, he looked at Lin Xiaobao.

found that Lin Xiaobao couldn't stand on his feet, and obviously drank too much.

Delia also began to worry, and lowered her voice and said, "Karaka is here, don't fall asleep now, he looks like he's going to beat you!"

"Beat me?!Who the hell ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, the guy who blocked me last time, right, just settle accounts together, listen to the ......"

Lin Xiaobao was half drunk and half awake, and he spoke all the Chinese.

The villagers didn't feel the fruit wine brewed by the villagers just after drinking it, and if they drank too much, the strength of the wine would explode all of a sudden, but they were deceived by the sweet and sour taste when they drank it too quickly.

If you don't drink too much, how can you be so arrogant when you speak.

The so-called sound naturally refers to the old revolver gun found in the safe, carefully let go of the two shots, and the bullets and guns can still be used, but I didn't bring them with me when I went out tonight.

Lin Xiaobao looked up and found that Karaka was striding towards him, and no one dared to stop him on the way.

When he was approaching this side, the old priest of Caporeni stretched out his hand and scolded, "Enough! He is an apostle of Kula, and the temple has recognized him as a chieftain, so hurry home!"

Karaka was so angry that he didn't even take the old priest's words to heart, and said loudly: "Last time you said that I would be the chief, how could I lose to an outsider?! The game is not over yet, why should you decide who will be the chief, I won the fish, and now I want to challenge him, whoever wins will be the best!"

No one dared to speak for the old priest.

After all, it's hard to say whether the gods will blame or not, but if you are strong now, the end will probably be miserable.

One of the villagers was about to step forward, but one of Karaka's younger brothers was scared back with a spear......
