Chapter Thirty-Nine: Stalking the Savages
Zhang Ming and I thought that we could go to the sea to catch fish at any time in the future, so we picked up some relatively thin tree trunks around the tent, thinking that we would make some fishing tools, so that we wouldn't have to be so troublesome in catching fish in the future.
This fishing tool is not very simple to make, we made it in the shape of a fork, thinking that when the time is in the sea, we can insert the fish at any time and anywhere, although it is simple, but I don't know what it will be like to implement it at that time.
I planned to wait with Zhang Ming until the next day, and then go to the beach to catch some fish and come back. In the afternoon, the five of us planned to pick some fruit in the direction of the fruit tree, after all, we had eaten all the fruit before.
We can't live on the food and fish hidden in the tents, and we have to take in some of the nutrients in the fruit, although we don't know what the name of the fruit is.
As soon as we walked around the fruit trees, we heard the sound of a wild man talking, so the five of us quickly hid, after all, we were not familiar with wild people. You can't go out at this time. Not far away, the wild men were also picking the fruit.
Seeing them skillfully climbing around the trees, there was also some envy in my heart, after all, it was indeed a bit difficult for us ordinary people to pick some fruits, this time we hid farther away, Zhang Ming whispered to me on the side: "Where do you say these people live?" Shall we go with us later? ”
When I heard Zhang Ming's bold statement, although I was also a little eager to try, I was afraid of being discovered by these wild people, and if we followed them, it would definitely not end well.
But after listening to Zhang Ming's words, I thought in my heart again, if I knew where these wild people lived. Isn't it possible for us to get more information about this island, after all, we can learn some survival knowledge from these wild people.
It can be estimated that they have lived on this island for many years, otherwise they would not be so familiar with their movements, and they all look different from us, their skin is very dark, probably because of the perennial sun on this island.
And they didn't have any clothes on them, they were all made of some leaves to cover them. I watched as the savages picked a lot of fruit.
When we were about to leave, I discussed with Zhang Ming, and the two of us followed the trail of those wild men to see where they lived.
Leaving his wife, Momo and Ma Xiaohua and the three of them picking fruits here, after all, we followed and left, and the three of them would be relatively safer, and the fat man must still be on the beach, struggling to catch the fish in the sea.
After thinking about this, I was about to leave with Zhang Ming, but Momo grabbed me.
"Brother-in-law, you must be careful, don't be discovered by these wild people."
Hearing Momo's request to me, I nodded and smiled at this girl, but my wife didn't talk much on the side, but I could see from his eyes that he was also worried about me.
"Wife, you and Momo are picking fruit here, I'll be back soon, don't worry."
After saying this, I didn't have time to wait for my wife to answer, so Zhang Ming and I hurriedly followed those wild men to the front, in order not to let those wild people find out that Zhang Ming and I were following them, we were also far away from them.
While following them with Zhang Ming, I heard them communicate in their unique language, and from time to time I could see them fighting with each other.
From their body movements, it can also be seen that what exactly are they communicating? But after a while, they suddenly disappeared, and I wondered if they had reached where they lived.
And Zhang Ming and I were also far away when we followed them, so I didn't know where they went for a while.
So Zhang Ming and I lightly searched around for the place where they disappeared and began to search, and soon we heard their voices again.
It turned out that they went into a forest, which was not very large, and after passing through it was their place of residence, and they saw some houses made of tree trunks, and they could see some older wild men, of course, there were women in them, but there were fewer of them.
I saw the wild men sharing the fruit with each other, and from time to time they continued to exchange things. And I could clearly see a few coconut trees from the back of the house where they lived, and I looked at the coconut trees that were hanging with coconuts.
I also started the idea of those leaves in my heart. Zhang Ming probably saw it too, and was eager to try it on the side, as if he wanted to go over and pick some leaves.
But I looked at the number of these wild people, and thought that it was indeed dangerous to pick those leaves, but I saw that the coconut trees were not very close to their houses.
While planning to go around their house with Zhang Ming and the two of us, we walked towards the farthest coconut tree, thinking that the distance would be farther, and there would be no movement, and soon we reached the farthest coconut tree.
Look at the coconut hanging from the tree. There is even a feeling of wanting to drool.
"You'll carry me up in a moment, I'll be lighter. I'm going to pick the coconut on it. ”
After listening to Zhang Ming's words, I nodded, put it on my shoulder, and slowly stood up with the coconut tree, and soon Zhang Ming had already picked a coconut, he gently threw the coconut to the ground, and then picked two or three.
We can't take too much, and because it's so close to where the savages live, we won't be able to escape if the savages find us.
When I was almost done, I hurriedly asked, and Zhang Ming jumped down from me, and we looked at the four or five coconuts on the ground, which were enough for a few people, and walked towards the place where we had picked the fruits before.
Momo, his wife and Ma Xiaohua saw us coming back early not far away. Zhang Ming and I walked up to them, and when we saw that they had already picked a lot of fruits, we couldn't help but sigh that these three women were quite capable, and I took the coconut in my hand to them.
"What is it looking at?" When my wife and Momo saw the leaves in my hand, their eyes were full of surprise, probably not expecting that Zhang Ming and I would bring back the coconut.
"Brother-in-law, where did you get this coconut?"
Hearing Momo ask me, I told her that it was me and Zhang Ming, and we could also find it by tracking them, and told them that this coconut tree was in the place where the savages lived. After Momo heard me say this, although her expression was a little surprised.
