Chapter 38: Self-reliance
There are only a few tables, chairs and storage boxes in the huge space, and they are all ridiculously large. There are no windows in the room, and there is no need for them, just a few holes in the wall. They eat tree fruits, mussel shells, crabs, sleep on straw mats, iron plates, hammocks, and live quite comfortably, and have a fight with Yang Qingnan, the great god of wilderness.
As soon as he sat down, it was of course necessary to ask for warmth, and Kazi asked, "Then what are you drinking?" β
"Drunk?" He shook his head blankly and asked Wuhe, "Do we have anything to drink?" β
"You forgot the car, I just picked it back yesterday."
"Oooh! I remember. Che smiled wryly embarrassedly, "I don't like to drink that, maybe you will." β
In the blink of an eye, Wu He took a few round balls, and its surface was covered with brown hairs.
"Wow! Coconut! Kazi drooled. Speaking of which, there are no coconut trees on Rader's island, and the climate and sunshine of the two islands are similar, so it may really be a regional problem.
Wu He took a knife in his right hand and opened a slit, and a minute later, all three of them drank "milk", sweet and a little salty, well, it was the taste of mother.
Che watched them drink milk, and his smile gradually became obscene, but soon he returned to his calm appearance, and talked about the tragic experience of the Lulu family: "When I first came to the island, there were still a lot of people, but you also know the environment of this island, volcanic eruptions, no grass grows, not to mention animals, even mosquitoes have to roll up the ground and run away." In less than a month, half of the Lulu people hung up, and they were all counting on me at that time, because I was the only novice. β
"Uh-huh, and then what?" Kazi looked forward to the rest as if he were listening to a story.
"Then I magically brought some tenacious plants back to life, using renewable resources, using berries to attract sea creatures, building castles on the back of volcanoes, and seeing people fly over the island the other day."
"Huh? Fly? Alain Bu was stunned, he seemed to have heard Runo say the same action word, "Who is that?" How did it fly? β
"I don't know, he seems to rely on a flying machine that looks like an eagle, but it didn't land on the ground, I thought you humans came to inspect it."
"......" Alain Bu thought for a moment, it couldn't be like this, right? That kind of scene is strange no matter how you imagine it.
Poromo looked at the empty ground and asked, "What about the others?" β
"Other?" The car stared at her for two or three seconds before she understood what she meant, "Oh, they're all upstairs, you'd better not go up without permission, it's best to keep your distance from them." β
"Big brother." Kazi quietly drank the coconut water and wiped the side of his mouth, "Do you know Youxi?" β
As soon as he heard the name, the car suddenly fell silent, falling into an inextricable memory. His demeanor was momentarily delighted, momentarily sentimental, momentarily guilty, and finally angry, and he lowered his head.
"Brother?"
"Huh? Oh, what? He didn't seem to remember what Kazi asked, and sighed deeply, "I'm sorry, I wanted to be quiet, but I was out of company." β
The car walked away, and the three of them really couldn't understand why he was suddenly stunned when he was still calm just now, could it be that what happened between him and Youxi? Either way, it's better not to ask again.
"I'll go and see him." Wu He was very embarrassed, and he went to find the car.
"Huh?"
The three of them looked at each other, they couldn't bear the physical and mental exhaustion, and ate some salty fish at noon and fell asleep. As soon as I slept until I woke up naturally, the surroundings were quiet, and the sun was scorching outside, so several people went around to check, but they didn't find anyone.
"They're out." Alain sermons.
The three of them discussed together, it was okay to stay here, it was time to leave. However, Che knows about the good and evil, and always feels very concerned, and Alain Bu has always been very persistent in the task.
They went out to the back of the castle, and then into the iron forest, only to see a dozen shirtless men cutting down trees with knives, drenched in sweat. Unable to resist the impulse in his heart, Alan Bu wanted to get closer to see clearly, but Nakazi and Poromo grabbed him left and right.
"What kind of knife is this?" He asked.
But the whirring of the knife drowned out his voice, and the big man closest to him didn't notice it, and it was still a question of whether he even saw him or not. Well? He looked around, if the barbarians were all here, then the Che guy should also be nearby.
Wu He, who was closest to the human race, walked over to them, and just now he had blended into the clan so no one noticed. Wu He showed them the knife in his hand and explained that it was the *****, the best knife forged by their craftsmen, and that there was indeed a special pattern on its surfaceβthe Muhammad pattern.
Arambou became interested in the knife, and swung it vigorously in front of his eyes, a buzzing sound ringing in his ears, and he was very satisfied. After returning the knife to Wuhe, he asked again, "Why are you cutting tree trunks?" β
"We're building ships, and we're leaving the island."
Alain Bu held his forehead and shook his head.
"But how big a ship do you have to build and how many trees do you have to cut down with so many of you?" said Kazi. β
"I, I don't know."
"Where's the car? Did the car tell you to do this? β
"No, it's idle anyway, and the tree is not bad." Wu He scratched his head, "You go find him, he is on the mountain." β
Alain Bu couldn't help but say that there is only one mountain here, called the Flaming Mountain. But what is he doing there?
"Bubu, the car is in danger, he wants to kill himself!"
"Don't call me by my name!"
The three of them hurried to the foot of the volcano on the side of the castle, where the solidified lava flow was still blazing. This active volcano can erupt at any time, and even if it doesn't, it will release toxic gases, but since it exists on such a small island, it means that the underground magma activity is not intense, and the risk factor is really not high.
At this point, they were not sure if the car was still on it, and they did not dare to let go of their hands and feet to climb up.
In the end, Kazi proposed a solution that was not a solution, and asked Alan Bu to go up the mountain to search by himself, while he and Xiaomo searched at the bottom of the mountain.
However, I didn't expect this method of escape Alam Bu didn't agree at all, such a big mountain, a person has to find the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue, don't go, resolutely don't go.
So, the group returned to the castle again, and by this time the car had returned one step ahead of them, and he was wiping his mud-stained galoshes on the backlit rooftop. He seemed to be preoccupied, and carefully picked out the stones on the soles of his shoes with a wooden skewer, and the water in the wooden plate gradually turned into dark gray dirty water.
"Huh? Where did you just go? He heard footsteps.
"No, just slip around." Kazi didn't answer the point.
"We just went to look for you, I heard you're in the mountains?"
The car put down his shoes, turned his face, and replied lightly: "Yes, what's wrong?" β
What's the deal with this perfunctory tone? It's completely different from the previous attitude.,In other words,Haven't the side effects of mentioning good and evil passed? Alain Bu was embarrassed to ask.
Polomo squatted down and stared at the upper of the car. Her insight is astonishing at times, the kind that breaks the ground when she speaks, and Kazi's brainless is simply one day and the other.
"Now, have you been to many places?"
The car kept polishing his shoes, as if he hadn't heard what she said, and Alain Bu completely handed over the matter to the two little ones, and went downstairs to find a bed by himself, and waited for the boat to start. He slipped away so quietly that he didn't even notice Kazi.
"Have you been anywhere on the island?"
"Brother, are you looking for something?"
The barrage of cannonball-like questions that he spat out caught the car off guard, and his melancholy expression revealed weakness, and the two teenage children looked at him with destructive eyes, like a pitiful little worm.
"Uh, uh, uh." Che compromised from the bottom of his heart.
