Episode 4 Isle of Tribulation (4)
Leek stood up suddenly, seemed to regain her previous momentum, and beckoned, "Xiao Xiang, you go to find something to eat." Fast! You're a man! "At the moment, she didn't miss my life, and it was nothing, if it weren't for this kind of tragedy, she would basically not have spoken to me in the company.
The other three girls looked at me in unison, as if expressing the same meaning.
I was accustomed to being instructed, and I was so hungry that I broke off a thick branch, took out a small saber from the keyring and tied it to the tip of the branch, and made a rough javelin.
Just as they were about to leave, they had a disagreement again: "Don't go, who will protect us when you leave?" ”
Noodles snorted and said, "Who can he protect with that bear-like appearance?" ”
Chili insisted that I stay: "He has no ability, let him go hunting, it would be good if he didn't give it to the wolves, it would be better to stay and protect us." ”
"Why don't you let him leave us the javelin......"
"Then you let him hunt with his teeth? No matter how bad he is, he still does a good job......"
The four eldest ladies were arguing, but my mood was getting darker and darker.
"If you don't go together, there is great power in numbers." I said it casually, but I didn't expect them to agree.
We had a very difficult journey, the shade of the trees overhead obscured the sun all day, and the sunlight seeped faintly through the insect-eaten gaps in the leaves, giving us only a few bright spots. I don't know what kind of rare species of grass here, half a man tall and unusually dense, and the color is not the traditional green, but a black brush. I looked around for mushrooms and wild vegetables and fruits that could satisfy my stomach, but unfortunately I didn't see them at all, and I could only feel that there were all kinds of insects densely packed, much larger than the size of their relatives on the mainland, and very active, a snail that was completely unaggressive, because it was the size of a ping-pong ball, it was enough to make people sick for a while. If I am still like this, these pampered noble princesses are even more miserable, complaining all the way, and Tofu is almost scared to cry.
Although I was horrified, distressed and frustrated by the accident, I also thought that it would be difficult for me and them to have such an opportunity to be alone. I know it's ridiculous, perverted, and contemptible for my personality, but it's what I really feel, and any normal man who has been in a relationship blank for many years would think like that. I even thought that this was very similar to Zhang Wuji's temporary residence with the four daughters on Ice and Fire Island...... I made up my mind that I wanted them to change their opinion of me, and I wanted to try to protect myself and them and survive strongly.
We returned to the vicinity of the wreckage of the plane, and the charred corpse was already faintly visible. Everyone was scared and pushed me out. I searched around for a long time, and finally found some stainless steel pipes that had not been damaged, presumably fragments of the dining car on the plane, and luckily, I actually found a "Nemesis" black-edged knife, which may have been secretly hidden by some military goods lover, it was found from a burnt pillow, with this knife, I made two javelins, used one myself, and handed the other to the leek.
Leek probably thought he was the leader and didn't want to accept it, so I handed it tofu again. As expected, Tofu was different from the other three of them, she had no arrogance in her bones, so she took it and clenched it, and gave me a hint of "don't worry". The women were all sensitive, and when the three of them noticed it, they all expressed disdain and sneered in return.
Most of the animals I can see so far are birds such as pheasants, and occasionally I can see some small mammals such as voles, and when they see us from a distance, they quickly run away, which makes my always sensitive nerves touched again: Could it be that there are people on this island? At least also in the time that these animals have been born to the present. We tossed for more than twenty minutes, and finally the five of us gathered around a big white grouse. Everyone couldn't help but be ecstatic when they found the food, and their eyes invariably conveyed the same message to me.
I knew it was time for them to admire it completely, and they didn't bother to look at it when I was sweating profusely when I was cooking. Now they were in a hurry to feast, and they were all staring at my every move. Chili and Noodles even offered to ask me what I needed help and was willing to help, which is really rare.
I expertly applied a thick layer of mud to the chicken, rubbed the stones back and forth to ignite the dry weeds, roasted vigorously, and caught the dripping oil with a container just below the remnants of the plane. When the heat was almost over, I carefully tore the mud open, as light and neat as the red cloth covering the treasure, the mud dragged the chicken feathers and fell off completely, only the outer layer was charred and crispy, and the inner white and red chicken was scattered with a rich aroma, and our stomachs were ringing, and for me personally, this was one of the best works of my life.
Although I caught the chicken and roasted it, the leeks were still arranged as arrogantly as in the unit, and warned me: "Xiao Xiang, you are a man, you should let more girls." "Then I was only given a piece of chicken neck and a chicken head. Of course, I wanted to do the same, so I didn't disobey her. After eating a few bites, I felt that my hunger had subsided slightly, and I thought that I hadn't eaten my own food for a long time, and I couldn't help but be in a daze.
After eating, the leeks were arranged again for me to find a place for everyone to sleep. I couldn't find any caves or other good shelters near the flats and the bottom of the hills, so I made a thick rope out of grass and tied it to a large piece of plane wreckage. Leeks knew that this was for them, so they also called on everyone to contribute and pull to the foot of the mountain together. Then I piled up the hay I had picked up and put it in a place where there was no water to keep it from getting soaked underneath. Then I was worried, after all, I don't have axes and other sharp tools at my disposal, how can I cut wood? But in the face of the aggressive gaze of the leeks and the disdainful expressions of the peppers and noodles, I had no choice but to take the javelin and go into the dense forest.
Even if there were no large carnivorous beasts on this island, it wouldn't soothe my fears. The jungle itself is scary because of the darkness. What is inside the darkness, I'm afraid that no one can say for thousands of years. After walking for a few minutes, I heard a very strange sound, from far to near, gradually becoming full of impact. I felt my heart being slammed to the ground by someone: "It's broken! There really are beasts! "But when I listened closely, I felt that this was not the roar of the beast I was familiar with, nor was it a simple rumor.
Could it be that there are some other unjust ghosts here? By the way, the beaches of this island are almost a graveyard for planes and ships, and there must have been a lot of victims, who must have been unwilling...... Wen was originally a timid and fearful person, even if he encountered such a situation, he was so frightened that he trembled, his teeth trembled, and fear spread rapidly in his veins. It took a long time for the sound to stop. I tightened my grip on my "bayonet gun" and walked forward step by step, while at the same time I saw smoke and dust billowing in front of me, as if a huge army was passing by, creating a great deterrent. As for why I went forward, I didn't think about it in detail, partly because I was afraid that I would be ridiculed by them when I came back, and even if I explained it, it would not convince them, and secondly, it was a trivial matter compared to what happened afterward.
After walking about two or three hundred meters, I saw an incredible sight: a dozen thick pine trees fell to the ground, and my first thought was not to think about what caused it, but to think that these timbers, if properly arranged, would be enough to build a fairly large house.
I rubbed my eyes again to make sure I wasn't dreaming - since surviving unscathed, to seeing the necropolis of the aircraft ship with my own eyes, it's hard to amaze me with any more miracles. Is this for me, for us? Is God taking pity on us? …… Not really, right? God should be able to give us a built house instead of just logging wood......
As I got closer, I didn't forget to look around to see what was going on, for fear that a pair of eyes were peeking through the jungle. There are no elephants on this island, and the only ones who can pull out trees among carnivores are bears, but so many trees can be uprooted, and I am afraid that bears will be tired to death, and I really can't find a reason for bears to cut trees, if they are to tempt me to take the bait, there is no need to spend so much money, I have read some magazines and science and education programs about animals, saying that the maximum speed of bears is six or seven meters a second, and I can't run away if I chase me directly.
