Chapter Seventy-Eight: Seeking Partnership

My wife said, "When can we get out of here?" Now, we all feel extremely happy with a simple meal of octopus, but in the old days, it couldn't have been easier. ”

I sighed and said, "I know that life is a little harder now, but there is no way, as long as we live, we have to look forward." ”

"If we can save ourselves, of course it's good, if not, first we have to choose to ensure the safety of our own lives, and then wait for others to save us, don't you say?"

The wife said, "There is no other way, I hope so." ”

Within a few days, the eldest and the ninth came to us, and the four of us were surprised to see them in disarray, covered in blood, and in tattered clothes.

I walked out and asked, "What's going on with you?" ”

The two of them had already panicked, the eldest was a man who had experienced strong winds and waves after all, and he said in a trembling voice, "Let's go find wood, and then ...... Then the beast was encountered. ”

The boss was already incoherent when he spoke, so I walked over and held the boss down and said, "Sit down and speak slowly."

I motioned for everyone to sit down, and when they sat down, the boss calmed down, and after a quarter of an hour, he slowly recounted what had just happened.

When they got up early this morning, the boss saw that the weather was better and the dew had not yet dried, so they went out to look for wood.

They had recently worked on a method of shipbuilding, and based on the specific conditions of the island, the quality of the timber, and the limited materials, they thought of making a large ship that could be returned to land.

Early in the morning, everyone went to look for materials, and the three of them did not dare to separate, so they searched within a range.

After a while, they felt that there was movement in the grass, so they went over and looked.

Before they could reach the grass, a wild boar came out of the grass, and this boar had very long tusks, a fierce face, and a very large size and size.

Of course, the first reaction of the three people was to run, but how could people outrun the wild boar, and after a while, the fifth child was picked up by the wild boar and fell directly to the ground.

Maybe it was because of the fifth child that the eldest and the ninth were able to escape, and the two of them continued to run forward, but the wild boar did not catch up and gnawed on the fifth child there.

When he said these things, the boss was already in tears, he buried his face in his trembling hands, and cried and said: "It's not that I don't want to save the fifth child, but at that time, our ability was limited and our conditions were limited. ”

"And the fifth child was already dying when he fell to the ground, so we chose to run, I'm sorry for the fifth, I'm sorry for him!"

Lao Jiu climbed to the boss's side and said: "Big brother, don't do this, the fifth brother won't blame us, sacrificing one of him and protecting the two of us, he should know, it's not that the brothers are cruel." ”

"If this happens to me, if you can sacrifice me in exchange for you two, I will still be like this."

Hey, Lao Jiu is still young, and the boss is just doing this for us to see, but I didn't expect him to really believe it.

When you arrive on this desert island, how can there be any brotherhood, and saving your life is the first priority.

If it weren't for the relationship between husband and wife who is stronger than Jin, and not the kind of iron-blooded tough guy who sticks a knife in his brother's ribs, who would have such feelings?

Looking at the stupid Lao Jiu, I didn't say anything, everyone chose to be deceived, what else can we say?

I'm waiting for the next narrative from the Boss, and I think he didn't just come over to tell us that the fifth child is dead, and there's no need to tell us the news, is there? At least we don't have to tell us in such a hurry.

As I expected, the boss took Lao Jiu's hand, looked at me with pleading eyes, and said, "Can we partner with the four of you?" Of the thirty people who had come before, only four of us brothers survived, and now there were two of us left. ”

"It's too dangerous for us to be together, there is strength in numbers, and we can do the manual work of men, and if we can build a boat, the six of us will go together."

I looked at him with a smile and didn't agree, as the boss knew that his thoughts had been seen through by me, and his old face was slightly red.

However, he pretended to be calm and continued: "I have no malicious intentions, when I come to eat, I can eat a little less with Lao Jiu, or I can eat less. ”

Lao Jiu looked at the boss with emotion and said, "Big brother, don't be like this, if you are in trouble, my brother is willing to be the same with you, and then hugged me, looked at me pleadingly and said, you take us in." ”

Lao Jiu took it and said, "In terms of eating, you can eat first, and then distribute it to our brothers, is it okay?" ”

Looking at this stupid kid, who can be born and die for the boss, he is indeed a poor child, he is not deeply involved in the world, and he has come to such a situation, I really don't know if it is good or bad.

I said, "Well, you two will stay away for a while, and we'll talk about it and tell you the results later, okay?" Do not go ye far. ”

The boss stood up, Lao Jiu looked at me and nodded, and before the boss pulled him away, he bowed to us and walked away.

I turned around, looked at the three of them, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Zhang Ming didn't make a sound, I know why.

I asked, "What about my wife?" ”

The teacher said, "I listen to your advice. ”

And my sister-in-law also said that she respected my opinion.

Now it seems that this matter is up to me, so I will briefly state my opinion.

I looked at the three of them and said what I had just analyzed: "The boss is a treacherous and cunning thing, I don't know if you can see it, he uses Lao Jiu's kindness to win our consent." ”

After I said this, it dawned on them, and the sister-in-law said, "I see." ”

After the explanation, I asked everyone, "What do you think now?" ”

Zhang Ming first said: "Then I don't agree, originally they came to give, I didn't welcome it very much, because you know, plus the boss is so treacherous, it's a scourge to stay." ”

The sister-in-law said again: "But I think Lao Jiu is so pitiful, let's take them in, we are all staring at the boss, Lao Jiu is such a poor child, if he is allowed to go back, I am afraid that he will be in danger." ”

Now that my wife is left, I looked at my wife, and she said, "Considering these two points, I don't want them to stay, after all, people are selfish, who knows what they will do?" Let's let them go. ”

The wife was still soft-hearted, and she said, "If they lack food and drink, we can provide them with appropriate relief, but if they stay here, then forget it." ”

I nodded, understanding what they meant.

I called the eldest and the ninth back, and I said, "We've discussed it, it's still not convenient for you to stay here, I'm sorry." ”
