Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Trail of the Savages

Although the fat man was a little reluctant, in order to continue to live well, he and I and the thin man prepared to set off to find the tree.

Seeing that Momo's feet were inconvenient, I had to leave my wife and her waiting for us in the tent.

The four of us were shuttling through the woods. As the woman had described, she walked towards the fat man where they had been in the beginning.

As we got to the place, the four of us split up and began to search for the fruit-filled trees that the woman had described.

Just as I was looking closely, suddenly the woman walked up to me

"I heard some footsteps just now, so I hurried over, did you hear me?"

When I heard this woman say this to me, I quickly remembered the sound I had heard at night, and I wondered if it could be the same voice.

At this moment, the fat man and the thin man also rushed over, and they did not seem to know what I was discussing with the woman, and when they came they only told us that they did not find any fruit growing from the tree.

Seeing their dejected looks, I told them not to be discouraged, since there was that tree, maybe we were in the wrong place, so we were going to look for it in another place, and then go somewhere else.

I had told the fat man and the thin man about the footsteps just now, and although I didn't hear it, I thought the woman wouldn't be lying.

But the fat man and the thin man didn't seem to take my words to heart, and they said, "Even if there are wild people, they all live on this desert island anyway." Don't be afraid."

I told them that my guess seemed to be wild people, and they just smiled and thought that there would still be wild people in these years, but I didn't think it was strange, after all, on this desert island isolated from the outside world, there must be some wild people, and I often saw some strange natives on the news before, who were found and known, but no matter what I told them.

They didn't want to listen to me any longer, they thought what I said was very nonsensical, and they changed places and still couldn't find the fruit tree that the woman had described, and when the four of us were about to return to the tent, suddenly we heard the sound of many footprints coming towards us.

So the four of us quickly took refuge in a more secluded bush, and blocked us with some branches, and soon the voices drew closer and closer to us, and in a short time we saw many people with very dark skin and long hair, just as the woman had described to me before, walking not far from us.

When the fat man and the thin man saw the gang, they were stunned for a moment, they finally believed what I said, and I could always think that they should not let them make a sound, after all, the origin of these wild men is unknown, and I don't know if they will attack humans like they did on TV, maybe eat human flesh, drink human blood and so on.

I don't know if I'm exaggerating too much, but for the sake of safety, I told all of them not to make a sound, and looked at the group, about seven or eight people, all of them wearing clothes made of some branches and leaves, covering important parts of their bodies, and they were all barefoot, and you could see that their feet seemed to have been walking on this island for many years, and they walked very lightly.

Seeing that they were a little farther away from us, I took the three of them and slowly followed the footsteps of these wild people, I thought to myself that as long as I followed them, I would definitely be able to find some food, after all, they have been living on this island for a long time, and the reason why they have been able to survive until now, they must have their own rules of survival, but in order to avoid them from discovering us, we have been quietly following them far away.

After following a long way, I found that they had come to a tree, and stopped, and I looked up and saw that the tree was full of fruit, and it was not the same tree that the woman had described before. But then there were many more of these fruit trees next to it.

Rejoicing, I feel like we finally have fruit to eat.

There was another hope of survival on this island, and watching the wild people climb up and down those trees, I felt that they were very skillful.

After a while, they had picked a lot of fruit, and put it in the baskets they had been holding with branches, and seeing that they had almost finished picking the fruit, I quickly told the three of them to hide in a more hidden place, so that they would not be discovered by them, and watched as these men took the fruit farther and farther away, and we crept towards the fruit trees.

Walking under the fruit trees, I sighed that there were so many fruit trees on this deserted island, which made me really hard to imagine, after all, this is really a good thing for us. The fat man climbed the tree hard, but he couldn't climb the fruit tree, and the thin man and I helped each other to knock down two fruits on the lower branches.

Then the woman found a relatively long stick, and we used the stick to knock off a lot of fruit on these trees, and the fruit fell to the ground, some of which were rotten, probably ripe, and some of which were relatively light, and I picked up all the fruits, and I tasted them in small bites, and the fruit tasted pretty good, although it was a little sour, but it was still relatively clear, and at least it was edible.

And there are some seeds in this fruit that look like seeds. I thought to myself, it would be better to keep the seeds-like things in these fruits, in case these seeds can really be used to grow fruits, and then we won't have to travel so far to grab the fruits from those wild people.

After all, this place is still dangerous, and I'm not sure that those who look like wild people will agree to us picking fruit from this tree.

After picking some fruit, we were ready to go back to the tent, and in order to find this place again next time, I made some marks on the trees around the place, and returned to the tent while making marks.

But when we returned to the tent, I happily took the fruits with me and walked towards the tent, wanting to share them with my wife and Momo. I think they would be happy if they knew that we had found edible fruit trees.

But when I got to the tent and found that there were no two sisters, my heart suddenly became anxious. I looked around the tent again and called out their names, still getting no response from them.

Then I and the woman and the fat man began to look for the two of them nearby, but after looking for a long time, they didn't find the two sisters, which made me have a very bad premonition in my heart, after all, we just met the wild man, I think those people must have been moving around here, what if they took the two sisters away, then what should I do?
