Chapter 14: Weird Girl
The first group of fishermen who went to sea have already returned from fishing.
Experienced seabirds fly with the boat and easily hunt small fish that are thrown off the boat by fishermen because they are too small.
Occasionally, people take the opportunity to hunt seabirds attracted by food with bows and arrows, and in addition to the albatross, which is considered sacred by the locals, even the Hawaiian goose, a rare and protected species, is on the local menu.
The volcanic island, which covers an area of about 400 square kilometers, is home to just over 3,000 villagers.
The material needs are extremely simple, in addition to food, clothing and shelter, due to the heat all year round, there is no need to prepare warm clothes, and the linen cloth woven from plants is clothing on weekdays.
The food is mainly fruits, bananas, coconut meat, and fermented taro that Lin Xiaobao hates, the last time he resisted a certain food, it was when he tasted Houttuynia cordata by chance, and was ridiculed by his compatriots from the southwest, the smell and taste were really not enjoyable.
Such a large island rich in products, more than enough to feed the natives on the island, there is no refrigerator and other modern preservation equipment, if you want to eat fish, you generally catch it on the same day, and if you catch too much, you will give it away, even salted fish is rarely pickled, anyway, you can catch fish, shrimp and shellfish all year round.
At this moment, many fishermen, with a little apprehension, came to Lin Xiaobao's side and "presented" the largest marine fish in the prey to him.
Lin Xiaobao didn't care at all, and he didn't know that in the early morning, there was a faithful believer named Kahuwahu who helped him promote it with great reverence, just as the villagers were hospitable.
I couldn't refuse because of the language barrier, so I acquiesced in their actions.
At this moment.
Lin Xiaobao's attention was all on the white girl in front of him.
He stared at the smooth shoulder for a long time, and it was hard to believe that the wound he had helped to bandage with his own hands last night had only been restored in a few hours, and this kind of unreasonable thing suddenly made him jealous.
The sea breeze was coming, under the scorching sun, Lin Xiaobao was thinking at this time, the current days are ordinary, at least he can make do with it, but if he occupies the magical bracelet that he is wearing on his wrist with his conscience, so he is retaliated against by this strange girl of unknown origin, it will be more than worth the loss.
Thinking of this, he decisively lowered his head and stretched out his hand.
I was going to take the initiative to take off the bracelet and return it to her, but I didn't expect it to be stuck in the palm of my hand and I couldn't pull it out.
The caliber of the bracelet is obviously too narrow compared to her hand, and I don't know how she wore it on her hand last night, Lin Xiaobao tried hard several times, her face gradually swollen red, the back of her hand was red and white, and the bracelet was still stuck in the middle.
See his actions.
The girl, who was still sitting cross-legged on the stone, reached out to help him return the bracelet to his wrist, shook her head and stammered, "No, thank you...... Saved my friend. ”
She finished and looked into the distance.
I could see a black shadow slowly flashing from the sea, and when she saw the killer whale, her expression was extremely gentle, and she was a little relieved and happy.
English is standard English.
But listening to it in his ears, Lin Xiaobao felt that the accent was a little strange, and it was very unsmooth, and he was about to ask her something, when the little princess Delia on the volcanic island came over in a hurry.
Delia had seen the white girl in the wee hours of the morning.
When a villager found her pushing a boat out to sea, she was still unconscious, and did not dare to get too close, so she hurried to find the old priest of Caporeni.
There was no one in the old priest's hut, and it happened that Delia, who had set a trap in the morning and tried to catch rabbits, came with other villagers afterwards, and happened to bump into Kahuwahu and the others.
About nine o'clock.
When the white girl woke up, Delia had already pretended to ask, but she had never received an answer.
Now Delia is inexplicably a little angry, because the other party just ignored her, but at this moment she is talking to Lin Xiaobao.
Standing beside Lin Xiaobao, Delia asked him in a dissatisfied tone: "Who is this? Your friends from the outside world have been found? Outsiders are not welcome on our island, give her a small boat and send it away, white people can't land on the island, this is the rule." ”
The discrimination is also a bit too blatant.
Delia, who was a "princess" before, never said anything like sending Lin Xiaobao away, let alone the traditional old rules.
Since childhood, she has been in contact with the old priest of Caporeni, and under the influence of the old man, Delia's way of thinking is not so old-fashioned, just a few days after the beginning of love, she began to be willful after feeling a threat.
As for the other villagers in the vicinity, they felt that everything was arranged by Kula.
They were only curious about this strange-looking white girl, and no one jumped out to echo Delia and talk about the old rule that outsiders were not allowed to enter the island.
Some young people even thought that the pale-skinned outsider on the stone looked very good, and stayed on the beach one by one and did not want to leave, purely to see her a few more times.
Although the old chief's daughter Delia is also good-looking, after all, after watching it for so many years, she has long been accustomed to these villagers who have not seen much of the world.
As soon as Lin Xiaobao heard Delia's words, he quickly squeezed his eyebrows and motioned for her to say a few words.
Although this white girl who appeared on the beach inexplicably in the middle of the night seemed to be harmless to humans and animals, and seemed to be very weak and helpless, but as the old saying goes, people should not be good-looking, and no bad person will write the word "bad person" on his face.
For the time being, I haven't figured out the details of the other party.
Anyway, in Lin Xiaobao's view, he definitely belongs to the kind of mysterious person who can't be easily offended.
So when he found that the white girl was looking at Delia, he hurriedly pulled Delia behind him and acted as a peacemaker, haha smiled awkwardly, and said in his mouth:
"Delia, people have taken a heavy ...... If she wants to stay, she will rest on the island for a few days, and I will decide this matter, so don't meddle with it.
When Pastor Caporeni returns, I'll discuss with him personally, you go and help me grill this lobster first, and I'll explain the reason to you when I have time, so go quickly. ”
Lin Xiaobao stuffed the big lobster into Delia's hand and found a reason to let her avoid it first.
Delia wasn't that delicate.
Since he was born, he has lived on a volcanic island, and he will not be like a woman in the outside world, and when she finds that "her own man" and other beautiful girls talk a few more words, she cries and feels betrayed.
After listening to Lin Xiaobao, she took the big lobster that was about to be sunburned to death in a daze, and really took the lobster and left, with a cheerful pace, planning to find a place to help roast it, and take the opportunity to show her skills.
Early this morning.
Delia went to the old priest's residence, and unexpectedly found that there was no one in the grass hut, so she hurriedly asked around, and no one had seen Lin Xiaobao.
At one point, he wondered if he couldn't stay on the island, so he escaped from the volcanic island by boat overnight, and now it turns out that he thinks too much, and Delia is actually a little happy at this time......
