Chapter 9: Finding the Aborigines for Desert Island Survival
First of all, the kangaroo meat skewers were eaten by Zhao Le and Hu Yue seven skewers, each skewer was the size of a palm, Zhao Le ate four skewers, Hu Yue ate three skewers, Zhao Le and Hu Yue, who were already a little full, smelled the fragrance of the fish ball soup, and couldn't help but crave the taste of the fish ball soup.

After both of them drank two bowls, Zhao Le, who had eaten a lot, also burped. Not to mention Hu Yue, she leaned on the stone to rest after eating.
Seeing that there was still more than half a bucket of fish ball soup, Zhao Le decided to take it to the aborigines to exchange things, and now Zhao Le still lacks a lot of things, such as: clothes, Zhao Le and Hu Yue have been here for the past two days, during which they have been busy with various work, making a stinky sweat, stained on their clothes, although they are very diligent in taking a bath, but they can't bear to just take a bath, so they wear stinky clothes.
According to what Hu Yue said last time, those aborigines did not have much hostility towards Hu Yue, and Zhao Le felt that he could use his bucket of "God's food" to exchange some necessary things with the aborigines, and by the way, he could also contact these Australian aborigines, after all, Zhao Le didn't want to stay on the small island of Cape Barron Island for the rest of his life.
In Zhao Le's eyes, conquering the world is a great cause, and conquering the world requires many things, such as: army, territory, stable food production, a large number of people, and so on.
Of course, let's start with Australia. Starting with Australia, it is necessary to conquer the actual owners of this land, the indigenous Australians. At this time, I have to say that Zhao Le has the advantage, if the family came to travel here, Zhao Le planned to go to some famous attractions in Australia to play in a regular manner.
However, due to lack of funds, Zhao Le and Hu Yue came, and the remaining money Zhao Le and Hu Yue planned to go to the indigenous tribes of Tasmania to play, but the money was not enough to hire a guide, so Zhao Le taught himself some indigenous languages in Australia, due to too many indigenous languages, there are probably more than two hundred, and only learned the indigenous language of Tasmania, Australia, but since they are all indigenous Australians, the language should be similar, and with gestures, it should be able to understand.
Knowing the indigenous language allows Zhao Le to contact the indigenous people first, paving the way for the big cause to be done in the future.
Hu Yue is resting, the kangaroo skin is drying on the stone, and now it has dried a lot, and it can be worn after a day or two, and then soaked in water.
Carrying the fish ball soup, the bucket was filled with scoops and bowls, Zhao Le walked in the direction that Hu Yue said the natives left, Zhao Le brought a pistol, and the harpoon stayed at home. Not carrying a harpoon would make the natives think he was not a threat, and bringing a pistol was just in case.
Carrying the fish ball soup, the fragrance wafted all the way, Zhao Le tried to walk towards the center of the island, where there were some large groups of kangaroos, and the natives had made their homes there.
As he walked, Zhao Le suddenly saw an Australian aborigine wearing kangaroo skin behind the grass in front of him, who was holding a bow and arrow commonly used by aborigines and aiming at a kangaroo.
This long bow and arrow is one of the most popular weapons used by the natives of the world, and it does not require much strength to use, although the natives do not have much strength in the first place.
The native was about twenty years old, his face was covered with mud of various colors, and the numerous slender scars on his exposed skin showed that he was an adult. He was staring at the kangaroo with all his attention, his feet moving slowly, approaching the kangaroo little by little.
Perhaps too young and inexperienced in hunting, he was spotted before he could get close to the kangaroo, and the kangaroo jumped twice and fled.
When the native saw that the kangaroo had fled, he sighed, put away the arrows, and prepared to leave. At this moment, Zhao Le hurriedly walked up and said in the indigenous language: "Hey! Hello, warriors of the tribe. The native had already put away the bow and arrow, and as soon as he saw Zhao Le appear, he immediately set up the bow and arrow and aimed it at Zhao Le.
Zhao Le put the fish ball soup in front of him, opened his hands, and said that he had no weapons, seeing Zhao Le's actions like this, the native also put down his bow and arrow, sniffed the fragrance of fish ball soup wafting in the air with his nose, and showed an intoxicated look on his face.
It is no wonder that the Australian Aborigines are rich in food (although there are not as many kangaroos as in later generations, but they are still enough to feed hundreds of thousands of aborigines. There is no enterprising motivation, there is no agriculture at all, all food depends on gathering and hunting, and it belongs to the nomadic people. Due to the abundance of food, the social hierarchy of the Aborigines has not even reached the slave system, and is still stuck in the primitive patriarchal social system, and the various tribes are scattered throughout Australia, which directly led to the British coming here after easily flattening the Aborigines of Australia and quickly occupying the whole of Australia.
The native had never seen such a delicacy before, and wanted to reach out and scoop it up, but he felt that the black thing was a little strange, and he did not dare to come forward.
Seeing such an action of the natives, Zhao Le was overjoyed: There is a door to this matter. So he scooped a bowl of fish ball soup and handed it to him, and when the natives saw that there was fish ball soup to drink, they immediately took it, and drank it regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one.
The aborigines drank it in one go, looked at Zhao Le with a blank eye, looking at the eyes of the natives, Zhao Le served three more bowls for him to drink, and finally drank until he was full of burps, the so-called eating people are short, and taking people are soft, even the natives of Australia know. In an instant, the native's attitude towards Zhao Le was much gentler, and he said a lot of words to Zhao Le that sounded very confused, Zhao Le scratched his head, thought about it, and guessed with him, and finally understood what he meant, probably saying that he wanted Zhao Le to bring this bucket of fish ball soup back to his tribe, Zhao Le thought about it, and said to the native: "Can I go to your tribe, I still have a lot of good things, I want to exchange some things with you." Then seeing the native's bewildered look, Zhao Le gestured twice with his hand, and the natives understood what Zhao Le meant.
Understanding what Zhao Le meant, a smile appeared on the native's face, and he immediately pulled Zhao Le towards the south, and after walking for about ten minutes, Zhao Le came to an indigenous tribe.
In front of him was a house made of thatch and branches, and some children of five or six years old were following a group of women to gather all kinds of things, thatch, berries, firewood, etc. Others, older eleven or twelve-year-olds practiced bows and arrows and boomerang with the men of the tribe.
Speaking of this boomerang, we have to talk about the weapons used by the Australian Aborigines. They often carry bows and arrows on their backs and carry boomerang around their waists, and they usually use long-range strikes, and the Australian Aborigines use more advanced weapons than their local aborigines.
The boomerang is a magical artifact, and its name among the natives is the Flying Machine, which means something that flies away and can come back. This kind of thing can hit things very far, probably more than a thousand meters away, and it is an ancient war artifact.
Seeing the natives coming here with Zhao Le, the other natives immediately surrounded them, and one of the sturdy middle-aged men said to the natives beside Zhao Le: "Crook, who is he!" The middle-aged man seemed to have a lot of authority, and as soon as he heard the middle-aged man speak, Crook immediately replied: "Honorable Dons warrior, this is a friend I met when I was hunting, and he has very delicious food, and he said he wants to give it to us."
After Crook finished speaking, he took out Zhao Le's fish ball soup, and as soon as the natives smelled this tempting fragrance, someone immediately drooled, and Dons first asked Crook, "Have you already drunk it?" After Crook answered, Dong Si said to Zhao Le: "Friends from afar, thank you for the gift you gave us, we also have gifts for you." Although I didn't particularly understand it, I still heard the general meaning.
The natives were so enthusiastic, and their fish ball soup was not in vain, Zhao Le replied to Dong Si: "You're welcome, I just want to exchange for something." "Well, well, I'll take you to meet the High Priest and the Patriarch."
