Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The island's villages are scattered across the island, with a total of six villages scattered across multiple areas.

If you look closely, you will find that everyone has food to eat, the fruits that grow naturally in the surrounding area are enough to meet the daily needs of the residents of each village, and they are all relatively close to the freshwater resources.

In addition, there is no need to compete for fishing, and women can easily collect shellfish attached to the reef, and unique social customs and lifestyles have evolved over the centuries, which is quite different from the agricultural civilization of sunrise and sunset, but also has similarities.

The villages are far away, which makes it difficult for the old priest of Caporeni, who did not take a boat and walked on his legs.

The old priest went everywhere.

Not only to spread the news of the birth of Kula, the god of fishermen, but also to take the opportunity to solve problems and treat some minor illnesses for the villagers, so that it was very delayed and has not returned yet.

However, his assistant had come back to get the medicine once, and it was said that he was already in the nearby village, and he was in some trouble, and he would be back in two or three days, and he began to prepare the sacrificial supplies in advance.

I don't know what the so-called little trouble means, Lin Xiaobao is still learning the special dialect of the volcanic island with Delia, this language is destined to only be used on the island, and in his opinion, it will not be of much help to his future life.

However, taking people's money, doing a line of love, and receiving half of a beautifully crafted ancient gold coin every day, this business is quite cost-effective no matter how it is calculated, and it is far more comfortable than going to work before.

Wake up naturally every day, the food is arranged clearly, lazy, in a daze, take a nap, no one will care about him, the villagers are quite easy to manage, one by one to Lin Xiaobao from the bottom of their hearts, filial piety to a lot of lobsters, crabs, shell rabbits to him.

Rabbits are an alien species, just like the goats on the island, which were not closed for more than a hundred years, but in fact, the island's villagers had contact with the colonists who came from far and wide across the ocean, including cats, dogs, wild piglets, Indian mongooses, and even horses and donkeys pulling goods, which are all evidence that the volcanic island was once open during the Hawaiian Kingdom.

After gradually getting used to it, Lin Xiaobao still doesn't adapt to the island life without electrical appliances, mobile phones and other items, but it is not as difficult as the first few days.

He also accidentally found a pile of mildewy and yellowed books from the small warehouse where the old priest of Caporeni had stored his belongings, and took them out to dry and made do with bedtime reading.

There are more than 60 books in Portuguese, French, and German, and only about 20 books in English can be roughly understood, and most of them are too poorly preserved to read.

I can't say that I'm interested, so I just spend time by the whale oil lamp, and I want to sleep after watching it, which is more effective than taking medicine.

Delia, the princess of the island, runs to Lin Xiaobao every day, rain or shine.

There are many reasons, such as sending water, sending fruits, teaching him to speak, asking questions about the outside world, and he is very enthusiastic, and today he also made a special trip to carry a small wild boar to send it over, saying that there are villagers from other villages who are ready to participate in the sacrifice ceremony of the new chief, and the little wild boar is a gift.

Lin Xiaobao squatted on the ground, looking at the half-sized pig weighing less than 30 catties, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, pork chop rice, pork strips, plum pork, braised pork, pork stewed vermicelli...... Countless dishes flashed through his head, more intimate than seeing pure wild lobsters at a high price.

The little piglet is still alive, probably struggling to exhaustion, and at the moment all that is left is the strength to lie down and panting, occasionally moving his eyes slightly, and not even humming other than that.

After all, domestic pigs are domestic pigs, and after many generations of reproduction and wilding, they can be called wild pigs, and their appearance is still different from the wild boars in Lin Xiaobao's impression.

Rather than eating a few more bites of pork, in fact, Lin Xiaobao hopes to receive some tangible gifts, such as gold coins, jewelry, silver coins and silverware, squatting and observing for a while, getting up and telling Delia:

"This pig is too small, recently give more taro and fruit, feed it and then slaughter it, just get sea salt to marinate some pork, salted meat soup tastes good." ”

I don't know much about it.

Recently, while Delia is teaching Lin Xiaobao the local language, Lin Xiaobao is also teaching her English.

Occasionally, he didn't know how to use words, so he simply replaced them with Chinese pronunciation, which perfectly avoided the embarrassing scene of the master and apprentice staring at each other, and maintained the all-knowing image of the great shore in Delia's mind.

This little pig is a gift for the new chief, whatever he does, Delia doesn't care.

She had eaten pork, and there were a small number of wild pigs living in the inaccessible primeval jungle in the center of the island, and hunters rarely hunted them when they encountered them, because they felt that the meat tasted strange, did not like the special smell, and there was a risk of attack, and it was far less popular than rabbit meat, which was also an alien species.

After Lin Xiaobao finished speaking, Delia nodded: "My father's house is just right next to the sheep breeding, they are renovating the house, and when the time comes, wait for you to become a ...... The king, you can live in it. ”

Try to say your thoughts in words you know, and it's barely easy to communicate.

Saying this, Delia's ears were a little red, after all, she would live in it when the time came, and she was a little shy when she thought of this, she had been staring at the renovation work carried out by the villagers spontaneously, and she had also made a special trip to make people build new tables and new wooden beds, and threw away many old objects, leaving only a relatively sturdy main frame that had experienced many hurricanes.

Lin Xiaobao just thought about raising pigs, and calculated how much he had to raise to be self-sufficient and meet his demand for pork.

He didn't care about the change in Delia's expression, in fact, no one even mentioned to him that once he became a chieftain, he had to marry the old chief's daughter and continue the chief's lineage through inheritance.

Delia was embarrassed to mention that the old priest of Caporeni had been out for several days and had not been in contact with him.

So much so that Lin Xiaobao had a simple idea, and really regarded himself as a wage earner who took money to do things, and returned to his hometown to live a comfortable life when he earned enough money.

......

A girl named Mona never returned after coming to the island.

Through more contact and questioning, Lin Xiaobao was finally able to affirm that she was indeed the same as she guessed, she fell into the sea at a very young age, seemingly stupid, but in fact, it was out of ignorance, and there was no problem with her head.

It was such an ignorant and beautiful girl, who had recently lived with Lin Xiaobao in the house of the old priest of Caporeni, and when he got up this morning, he accidentally found Mona lying next to him, which scared Lin Xiaobao to think that he had done something bad by sleepwalking last night.

After a careful look, I found that it was indeed her own bed, that is to say, she ran over while she was asleep, fortunately she was only treated as a little girl, but it was difficult for her body appearance to overlap with her mind, which tested Lin Xiaobao's determination.

Brief contact for a few days.

You can find that Mona does not resist contact with people, and occasionally goes to the beach to sit, but always comes back by herself, and will ask some random questions like Delia, full of curiosity.

What annoys Lin Xiaobao is that she is too clingy to herself, and she will follow obediently wherever she goes, as if she suddenly has a daughter who needs to be taken care of in all aspects, she is less courageous than a squirrel, and she likes to hide behind him when she meets outsiders.

In order to let this girl return to the normal trajectory of life as soon as possible, in recent days, he and Delia have learned from each other, and they will let Mona audit, but the speechless thing is that in terms of learning indigenous languages, she can listen to it once, and the progress is faster than Lin Xiaobao......
