Chapter 19: Coconut Crabs, Pants, and the Treasure Hunt
Lin Xiaobao didn't know that he had an extra rival in an accident.
I only felt that Karaka just now was worried about the position of the chief, so he targeted himself.
To be honest, he's a bit sluggish when it comes to feelings.
When he graduated from high school, a girl confessed to him in the souvenir book, and when he was about to graduate from college, he accidentally discovered that the other party had secretly had a crush on him.
Handing notes, often looking for myself after class, occasionally buying snacks...... In retrospect, all her actions back then finally made sense. After weighing it repeatedly, Lin Xiaobao contacted each other by adding friends on the Internet, and was shocked to hear that the girl's children were already calling their mothers.
Perfect to miss.
Now, too, he didn't notice why the island princess Delia was so enthusiastic about him these days.
At this time.
Lin Xiaobao was planning how to sue the old priest of Caporeni when he suddenly heard a scream of surprise.
He stopped and turned around.
I saw that Karaka, covering his head with one hand, fell straight and straight.
seconds ago.
Caraca punches the coconut tree.
The pain in the body is not as good as the pain in the heart, so I simply gave up on myself and punched again.
On top of Karaka's head, a coconut crab was feeding, but it didn't hold on to it, and as the trunk of the tree vibrate, it was frightened and fell down in a panic.
About ten catties of coconut crabs, the shell is called a hard, and cracking the coconut is as easy as cutting paper on weekdays.
With such a big guy, no matter how muscular and brave Karaka is, it is impossible for him to train his muscles to his braincase.
Not to mention being hit by a coconut crab that fell from a tree, a coconut fell immediately after.
It was dark in front of him, and he fainted on the spot.
Look at the coconut crab with rough skin and thick flesh.
After a moment's swaying, he continued to crawl towards the coconut.
They have a very mixed diet, eating almost any organic matter, whether it is the fruits and leaves of plants, the decaying corpses of animals, and even the size of their own kind, which has earned them the nickname "robber crabs".
This expensive delicacy in the eyes of the Chinese people is about to overflow on the volcanic islands, and coconut crabs are distributed in many parts of the Pacific Ocean, and the number is rare today.
The local villagers do not think that this is a crab, but a "big spider" with a good temper.
Luckily, no one was the first to eat crabs.
Otherwise, once the coconut crab is found to be tender and delicious, with their slow growth and reproduction, they may follow in the footsteps of Hawaiian geese and become extremely rare on volcanic islands.
Lin Xiaobao's ability to gloat was absolutely amazing, and he couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
Laughter echoed through the groves.
When it fell into the ears of Karaka's two companions, it seemed very mysterious.
The two are jealous of the legend of Kula, the god of fishermen.
I didn't want to provoke Lin Xiaobao in my heart, but at this moment, I felt that this was revenge, Chiguoguo's revenge!
actually let the coconut crab take the coconut and jump down and knock on Karaka's skull...... Thinking of this, the heads of the two of them also ached faintly.
Decisively felt that it was better not to go with Karaka, it was better to provoke Kula in their eyes, lest something happen to the sea one day and be swept into the bottom of the sea by a wind and waves.
People who often go out to sea to fish are the most taboo about this.
Just as they sacrificed to the goddess Pellet, who lived in the crater from time to time, trying to prevent her from getting angry one day and setting off lava and fire again, no one had taught them the truth of feudal superstition.
Two dark-skinned warriors of the village with primitive bows and arrows on their backs, and no shoes on, except for a crotch cloth tucked in the groin.
After looking at each other, they immediately picked up Karaka, who was about to have a concussion, and ran away, the speed was called a block.
While running, I also beware of other coconut crabs, for fear that they will use big tongs to suddenly come to their ankles, and they can really easily break their legs.
Lin Xiaobao gloated, but after seeing their inexplicable actions, he was a little puzzled, he had only heard some of the news of his deification by the island's residents, and it seemed to be a joke.
See them disappear before their sight.
Lin Xiaobao plucked a piece of grass and put it to his mouth, and walked slowly back to the old pastor's thatched hut.
Mona was dozing off, lying on the table and about to fall asleep, while Delia was memorizing the words, and Lin Xiaobao helped her carve the words on the bark of the oak tree.
Delia is smart, but she's not a linguistic genius like Mona.
There were many English words to memorize, and many of them represented things she had never seen before, such as cherries, oranges, and apples, so it was difficult to have a clear idea.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many language barriers when communicating with Lin Xiaobao, she would have been unable to hold back her temperament, so she would have gone to the beach with her companions to pick shells, or went into the forest to find ripe fruits.
Just by looking at her expression, you can know how entangled Delia is, and her enthusiasm for studying a few days ago is quickly exhausted.
And Lin Xiaobao is here.
He learns the indigenous dialect of the volcanic island, and he doesn't even know how to write, just remember the pronunciation of something.
I believe that after a while, I will be able to try to communicate simply, but the other party can't speak quickly, otherwise I will still be confused.
......
Learn to pay attention to the combination of work and rest.
Lin Xiaobao didn't disturb Mengna, a white girl who was picked up from the beach, she continued to sleep.
Whisper to Delia about what had just happened.
As soon as he heard the feathers on his head, coupled with Lin Xiaobao's relatively square face, Delia immediately guessed who was making trouble for him.
Not everyone can put bird feathers on their heads.
The hierarchy of the volcanic island is quite obvious, except for the chief, the chief's sons and daughters, and the priest, only the high-ranking village chiefs of each village, as well as the direct members of their small families, are eligible to stick feathers on their heads.
Delia has no good impression of Karaka, who has always been stalked, and if she is too enthusiastic, it will become annoying, not to mention that her appearance does not match her aesthetics and personality.
After listening to Lin Xiaobao, he immediately got up and said that he was going to find someone to beat him, and accidentally showed his true fiery personality.
Delia angrily asked, "You wait for me here, I'll be back later, where did they go?"
“...... It's okay, I can solve it myself, I'll discuss it with Pastor Kaporene when he comes back, it's just a chat, and I haven't suffered. ”
Compared with this incident, Lin Xiaobao was more concerned about the other news he heard before going to the thatched house, and changed the topic and asked Delia: "Where is the boat you just mentioned, it is the big ship that was washed ashore by the waves, let's go for a trip, it would be great if we could find some clothes." ”
Just a small one.
Washed and worn, worn, washed and put on again.
It's still clean, yes, and it's inevitable that there will be some diaphragms in my heart.
And Mona didn't have any other clothes, so she began to change into Delia's island grass skirt.
Lin Xiaobao thinks that the linen material is hard, and he always feels that with the friction of walking, there can be a fire under the crotch.
Still angry, Delia told him:
"There should be no clothes, and they have been emptied a long time ago.
We used to go on expeditions when we were kids, and the bowl you eat comes from that boat, and the forks. Let's go now, and you'll probably be back before dark, and you'd like to go over and see the big ship?"
"Well, if you don't study today, then we'll go ...... now"
Get ready.
In addition, bring a new pair of straw sandals, so that the old shoes of poor quality will not be worn out on the way, and they will be tied from the rope and hung around the neck.
I didn't dare to leave Mona alone at home, she looked a little bad for the country and the people, and she was afraid of thieves stealing and thieves, so she had to wake her up and go out together.
It was noon.
Before leaving, Delia asked three villagers with spears to follow, help bring some water and food, eat and drink enough, and rest for half an hour to continue on the road.
After walking a short distance, he didn't see the big ship yet, Lin Xiaobao first found a broken Star-Spangled Banner in the rubble pile by the seaside, which was estimated to have drifted from the surrounding islands.
Hurriedly picking it up, he wrapped it around his waist and said happily: "Hey!
......
