Chapter 217: Shadow Island (4)

After all the concealment work was dealt with, everyone calmed down and watched the surrounding environment.

The place where everyone was standing was a low-lying area, small in size, surrounded by trees. In summer, the forest is overshadowed by lush broad-leaved shrubs and tall deciduous and evergreen trees. In the forest after a rainstorm, there is a peculiar smell that mixes the musty smell of dead leaves and the stench of animal feces.

"Commander Hua, we saw on the boat that the highest point of Jueying Island should be at the southernmost point of the island, let's go south from here and go to the high place to see the whole picture of the entire island." Shi Lang said to Ancestor Hua in a consultative tone.

"Okay. Let's take a look at the whole island before we decide to settle there. Ancestor Hua agreed with Shi Lang's suggestion.

Under the leadership of Shi Lang and Hua Ancestor, everyone used the weapons in their hands to push away the grass in front of them and walked south.

In less than ten minutes, everyone walked out of the forest and climbed a high slope.

"Look at the goats!" Ye Ruliu found that on the south-facing downward slope of the high slope, a group of gray wild goats were grazing attentively.

"Now it's okay, there will be mutton to eat on this desert island in the future." Shi Tianji, who was carrying a food bag in his hand, saw a large herd of goats and said happily.

Shi Tianji's loud voice alarmed the grazing wild goats, and they raised their heads and looked curiously at the high slope to the north.

"Why don't we catch one and open the meat tonight?" Du Heng proposed.

"This job, Bau is doing it. Brother Bau, why don't you catch one? Shi Tianji shouted.

"I think it's better to forget it, my stomach is so hungry that I have the strength to catch the sheep. I think it's better to change the day, they won't be able to get out of this isolated island anyway. ”

"Another day. Today, let's hurry up and find a place to live and settle down. In the future, there will be an opportunity to eat mutton. Lao Shi, I will definitely let you eat enough when the time comes. Shi Lang said as he led everyone to continue walking south.

"When the time comes, I must eat two legs of lamb in a row. Oops, the corners of my mouth are already drooling now. ”

"Then the head of the sheep will be yours. Let's imagine how spectacular it would be for Lao Shi to hold a sheep's head with both hands and gnaw it. Bau said.

"Isn't there a saying that is called holding a sheep's head and nibbling dog meat, that is to describe Lao Shi." Du Heng said.

"What is holding a sheep's head and willing to dog meat, people are calling selling dog meat with a sheep's head. If you don't know how to say it, don't talk nonsense. Lest people laugh at it. Shi Tianji said.

"Anyway, it's pretty much the same, both sentences are for you." Du Heng retorted.

"When did I sell dog meat with a sheep's head? I have always been the same on the outside and on the outside, and I am also a dignified man. ”

"Okay, okay. I'm wrong, can't I? Seeing that Shi Tianji was serious, Du Heng hurriedly took the initiative to show weakness, and deliberately raised his voice and shouted: "Brother Shi didn't sell dog meat with a sheep's head. ”

Du Heng's shout startled a flock of red-tailed parrots foraging among the bushes on the hillside, and they flapped their wings in horror and flew off into the distance.

"There are parrots. It would be nice to catch two of them and put them in our lodgings! Ye Ruliu said.

"Big sister, when I have the chance, I will definitely catch one for you and let it talk to you." Shi Tianji said to Ye Ruliu.

"Okay. Thank you Brother Shi in advance. ”

"What's polite with me! I caught a parrot for my sister-in-law, it's not what it should be. ”

"When did Lao Shi smear honey on his mouth?" Hua Xianzu said.

"I'm not just talking. Speaking from the bottom of my heart, if I have such an outstanding sister, I would like to thank my ancestors and ancestors. Commander Hua, you don't know how much great contribution my eldest sister has made for our Jinyi Guard since I entered North Korea.

"All this she has done, even a dignified seven-foot man may not be able to do it. I am easily unconvinced, but for my big sister, I admire it so much. ”

"Brother Shi, don't praise me like that. I'm a little embarrassed. ”

"I'm not boasting, that's what it is. There is a saying that is what is it called...... Do not let the eyebrows. ”

"Women don't let their eyebrows go." Du Heng reminded Shi Tianji.

"Yes, yes. Women don't let the eyebrows go. That's my eldest sister. ”

"What do you mean by women not being allowed to shave their eyebrows?" When Clairvoyant heard this for the first time, he was a little confused, so he asked.

"Big black, I don't understand. I'll teach you. This woman's refusal to shave her eyebrows means that my eldest sister is better than our big men. ”

"Oops. Brother Shi, it's been awarded, it's been awarded. I'm not as good as you say. ”

"Brother Shi, what do you mean by a big man?" Shunfeng asked Shi Tianji.

"What's your name?"

"Brother Shi."

"You old black screamed like this, I still don't feel a little uncomfortable. However, I feel quite kind. Well, for the sake of your love for calling me a brother, I'll tell you. This big man, that is to say, you and Clairvoyant are tall and big, so you should show some manly spirit and take the initiative to do more work. ”

"What do you do?"

"Carry this bag for me." Shi Tianji said, and without saying anything, he took off the food bag on his back and hung it on Shunfeng's shoulder.

"That's called the big man?"

"That's right. With your back on your back, you can stride forward. That's right, that's right, that's called the big man. Hey. Looking at Shunfeng Er, who was striding forward with a food bag on his back, Shi Tianji couldn't help laughing.

"You old Shi, people are kind enough to call you brother, but you are playing tricks on others. Not authentic. Shi Lang looked at Shunfeng's cute appearance, and said to Shi Tianji with a smile.

"Didn't I look at this black brother kindly? Hey. ”

"Whoever you look at is kind, let whoever work more? That's a bit far-fetched. Bau said to Shi Tianji.

"What's up? Maybe one day I'll still look at you kindly. ”

"Forget it, Lao Shi. I'd better stay away from you, lest I be kind to you. Bau said, dodging away from Shi Tianji.

"Hahaha......" Everyone burst into laughter as they watched Bau leave timidly.

In the midst of laughter, everyone climbed over two high slopes and came to Erzhangtai, the southernmost point of Jueying Island.

It's a small platform, the highest point on Jeordon Island. Below the south side of the platform is a steep cliff.

Everyone stood on the platform and looked into the distance. The sea to the east is vast. To the northwest of Jeokejin Island is Busanpo. You can clearly see that there are a large number of Japanese ships gathered in Urachi.

"This Jeepang Island is a natural barrier to Busanpo. No wonder the Japanese once garrisoned on it. Shi Lang looked into the distance and said to everyone.

"Brother Shi Lang, look, there seem to be a few houses on that hillside to the north." Ye Ruliu pointed to a slower hillside to the north and said to Shi Lang.

Everyone looked in the direction of Ye Ruliu's finger. Sure enough, on a hillside not far north of the forest where everyone had landed on the island, several huts loomed into view.

"It is possible that this was built by the Japanese garrison on the island in the first place." Hua Xianzu analyzed.

"I don't know if the Japanese are still on the island. After all, we've heard all the information we've heard before. Shi Lang said.

"Why don't we sneak over and have a look?" Hua Xianzu proposed.

"Let's go. Let's go over and see. After Shi Lang finished speaking, he led everyone to walk north along the route they had come.

Jeopus Island is high in the south and low in the north, so everyone travels much faster to the north.

Worried that there were Japanese people on the island, everyone stopped talking and laughing like they did just now.

Fortunately, no danger was found along the way, except for startling some animals.

The rain clouds in the sky have long since dispersed. In the western sky, there was a red, fiery cloud.

The birds on Jeordo Island have also returned to their nests after a busy day.

The entire Isle of Shadows began to slowly fall silent.

"Everyone disperse, let's outflank us. Be careful not to expose yourself easily. Arriving at the bottom of the hillside where the houses were, Shi Lang quietly ordered.

When we slowly approached the house located on the southern slope of the high slope, we found that there were three houses in front of us, all of which were made of log nails, among which the smaller wooden house facing north was somewhat similar to the cave of the Shaanxi generation of the Ming Dynasty, and its whole body was hidden in the mountain of the slope, and the exposed ones were the walls, doors and windows made of logs.

The other two relatively large wooden houses are located to the south, and in the open space between the two houses, an octagonal well platform is particularly conspicuous. On the platform of the well, on the wheel that drew water and on the large barrel that lay on the platform, stood five or six large crows. On the north side of the well is a simple rectangular wooden table

and a few simple wooden stools.

Since the doors of the three houses were closed, the team members couldn't figure out if there was anyone inside.

"Commander Shi, do you want to let Jump in and see?" Bau whispered to Shi Lang.

"Okay."

Bau patted Hopper's head lightly with his hand. Jumping immediately realized, only to see it leap out of the invisible grass and run down the hillside towards the house not far away.

The appearance of the jumper startled the crows, who seemed to be closing their eyes to recuperate, and they screamed a few times, instigated their clumsy wings, and flew off into the distance.

A gust of sea breeze blew, knocking over a three-legged stool on the floor of the square space enclosed by the three houses.

Jumping up to the stool that had been blown over by the sea breeze, he put one forepaw on it, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the movements in the three houses. Jumping's serious appearance is as calm and focused as an elder who listens to the wind on the railing.

Suddenly, there was a "squeak" sound from the side room to the west, which seemed to be a group of rats biting and fighting inside.

After a while, with a loud "bang", a window in the west side room was slammed open, and hundreds of monkeys scrambled out of it. At the front of the line was a large brown male monkey whose body had just hit the ground, and behind him, four equally large young male monkeys jumped down from the window and surrounded him in the middle.

The smaller monkeys that jumped out one after another spread out in formation, leisurely watching the four-on-one battle that was about to begin under the window.

"The five male monkeys are fighting for the throne." Bau whispered to everyone.

"How four against one? It's so unfair. Ye Ruliu said puzzled.

"The older looking male monkey in the middle is the old monkey king. Normally, the monkeys will fight for the throne every four years. The reigning Monkey King is challenged by his competitors.

"The Old Monkey King sometimes faces multiple competitors in turn. If it can defeat its competitors one by one, it will still be the Monkey King. If the old Monkey King is defeated, the Monkey King will be the ultimate winner of all the contenders. The challenge is brutal, and the winner is often bitten and bruised all over his body. Bau introduced.

"It seems that there are many similarities between the change of generations of animals and us humans." Hua Xianzu said.

"yes. The so-called 'one will make ten thousand bones dry'. If you want to achieve fame and reach the top, it is impossible not to make some sacrifices. Shi Lang said.

While everyone was talking, four young and strong male monkeys had already begun to attack the old monkey king.

Although the old monkey king is a little old, after all, he has only ascended to the throne after experiencing the cruel fighting on the battlefield, and its experience makes up for the lack of physical strength. Faced with the four adult male monkeys attacking him at the same time, the old monkey king adopted flexible tactics, and while resisting, he retreated to a corner of the north house, with his back against the wall, facing the enemy head-on.

An adult male monkey who attacked the front was careless, and was grabbed by the sharp claws of the old monkey king in the eye, and in an instant, the male monkey's face was covered with blood, and he screamed and withdrew from the battle.

The other three remaining contenders were stunned for a moment, and then swooped down on the Old Monkey King from three directions at the same time.

In the face of the coordinated attack of the three male monkeys, the old monkey king used all his strength, low left and right block, but in the end, he was pressed under the three attackers because he couldn't dodge.

The old monkey king's four paws scratched indiscriminately. For a while, the four male monkeys were scratching and scuffling together. Monkey hair flew around the scene, and the sound of biting was piercing.

In the process of the fierce battle between the five male monkeys, Hop Hop, who stayed not far away, always indifferently half-squatted in front of the three-legged stool, looking at the tragic fight scene with a calm expression.

Gradually, the old monkey king ran out of energy. A male monkey saw the opportunity and bit the old monkey king's right hind leg fiercely, biting the old monkey king's right hind leg open a long hole.

The old monkey king screamed weakly, dragged a wounded leg, limped to the side, and withdrew from the battle.

Seeing that the old monkey king retreated to the side and surrendered, the remaining three male monkeys started a fierce battle with each other.

In the end, the brown male monkey, whose left ear was somewhat mutilated, became the final victor, first glancing at the four losers who had been defeated in succession, including the old monkey king, and then, holding his head high, ready to accept the worship of his subjects.

But at this moment, a black shadow roared from mid-air to the right of the new Monkey King.
