It took a while for them to leave before I dared to emerge from the shallow hole.

Looking around at the dense forest, I don't know where to go.

The black girls are heading upstream of the water source, and I analyzed that their tribe is located upstream of the creek.

Walking in this direction is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap. But Chiqi may also be caught by that group of savage women, and she doesn't understand the language, so don't cause anything with her fiery temper. The more I thought about it, the more relieved I became, so I got into the bushes by the river and cautiously sneaked up the stream.

After walking a few hundred meters, I saw a tall shrub tree with a knife-carved C-shaped mark, and there was still a pale green sap on the mark, which must have been carved not long ago.

Chiqi's English name is "chichi", didn't she leave this mark? I don't know if she was afraid of getting lost in the mark, or if she guessed that I would follow her and deliberately left a mark on me.

Seeing that the mark indicated that the direction was correct, I continued to look for it in the direction of the opening of the letter C, and sure enough, I found another C mark not far away.

Guided by a dozen markers along the way, I came to a cave that was not too large.

"There was such a big storm last night, Chiqi's girl won't hide from the rain here, right?" I guessed in my heart, after tossing all night, my stomach was growling with hunger.

"Chiqi!" I whispered into the cave.

No response.

I walked ten meters into the cave and raised my voice to shout again, "Chiqi! ”

Still no response.

There is a C mark on the rock wall of my cave, and the beginning of the C letter is facing the depths of the cave.

It seems that the direction is not wrong, Chiqi is in this cave.

I turned on the flashlight I had with me, and the beam shone into the depths of the cave, and the light shot into the darkness, seemingly endless.

"Chiqi! Dead girl! ”

I shouted.

Still no response.

Shaking the flashlight and looking around, there were three or four fruits scattered on the ground not far away.

"This girl is really here! She has a strong ability to survive, and she has found so many delicious fruits! ”

All the information indicates that Chiqi is here. Pick up the fruit from the ground and walk to the depths of the cave while filling your stomach.

One or two hundred meters deep into the cave, I faintly heard a lot of noisy voices, like many people yelling and talking, but I couldn't hear what was being said.

"It's broken! It's a trap! ”

My brain analyzed at high speed, at least a group of people in the cave were talking and yelling, and Chi Qi alone definitely didn't have so many timbres. The C mark, the fruit at the door, could it be that the group of wild women trapped me? Trick me in, and then hold the hole, and I'll be gone!

The mood was flustered, and his heart rose to his throat, and he didn't even dare to breathe too hard. In a dilemma, I can only turn off the flashlight and observe the situation.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see the group of women come in and round me up. Without daring to turn my hand on the electric again, I smeared and slid in the direction from which the voices came, and went some distance deeper into the cave, and the voices became clearer and clearer, and I could clearly hear the yells and conversations of some men, although I couldn't fully hear them, but they spoke English.

It's just the voice of a group of men, and the language of the conversation is English, not the wild women. Recall that the black girl couldn't understand my language, and it was impossible to lead me into her trap with the C mark. After analyzing it like this, I let go of my heart.

Turn on the flashlight and head deeper into the cave.

"O God! You're really here! ”

More than ten meters in front of the light of the flashlight, four figures ran in front of me, they were cloaked and dressed in shabby clothes, and they rushed towards me like savages.

"Wait, wait, wait...... Do you know me? ‘

I asked, frightened, taking a few steps back.

Seeing that I was frightened, the figures stopped in front of me.

"You are the God who has come to save us! Last night a goddess came here and said you would come to us today! ”

One of them said.

"What God? What goddess? Who are you? ”

I asked them rhetorically, and with the light of a flashlight sweeping over their faces, there were four middle-aged men in their forties and fifties, who seemed to have lived on the island for a long time, ragged and hairy.

"Come, come, our gods! Sit down and let's talk slowly! ”

The man took me by the arm and asked me to sit down on the ground. I swept it with my flashlight, only to find a few large rocks on the ground.

"I'm Jim, I'm an American explorer. The three of them were my buddies, David, John and Miller. ”

Sitting down, the man began to introduce himself and the other three to me.

"Are you Americans? How could it be on this island? ”

I wonder how four Americans could be on this island of matriarchal society.

The old man named Jim continued excitedly, "In 2036, our six-person expedition came to explore this island, and found several medieval treasure chests in this cave, full of gold, silver and jewelry. Just as we were trying to get the jewels on board, we were caught by the island's natives and locked up in their dungeons. Together, we managed to escape from the dungeon, and we left the island in a boat without bothering to carry the jewels. ”

"Left, why are you here now?"

I don't understand why they fled the island and are still here.

"Hey!" Jim said, sighing and crying, "It's all our greed!" After leaving, we boarded a large merchant ship, and we had no peace of mind when we left. But I was unwilling to take this batch of treasures with me, so I hid from the other two team members and quietly took David and the three of them back. When we got back here, we were caught by the savage women again. It was a matriarchal tribe where men had no place and were used as tools for their offspring, no different from breeding animals, and they had been enslaved on the island for more than twenty years, and we had escaped from their tribe only a few days earlier. ”

Speaking of which, the four of them were already in tears.

"I see! So, what god, goddess is all about? ”

I continued.

"Last night, a Chinese woman came here..."

Jim replied, interrupted by me, "Chinese woman? ”

"Is that the woman?"

I pulled out my phone and showed them the photo of me and Chiqi on the big boat, "Is this it?" ”

"Yes! Be! Be! She came in like you last night, with a very bright flashlight. ”

Jim nodded.

"It seems that those marks are really left by Chiqi! What about her now? ”

Overjoyed, I asked.

"She was gone last night! We begged her to take us away from the island, but she said that it was inconvenient to do something urgent, and that an English gentleman would come to meet us today! That gentleman must be you, our god! ”

They fell to their knees.

"Hurry up, block up!" I held them up.

Maybe Chi Qi saw the boat I left on the beach, or maybe she was close to me, and it seems that she knew that I was worried about her, and followed her to this island. Now that you know, why don't you make peace with me? How urgent things can't wait for me? I couldn't understand why Chi Qi didn't make peace with me.

"Please! Take us away! We don't want to stay on the island for a moment! ”

The four fell to their knees again.

"But I haven't found my companion yet! It's the goddess you talk about! ”

I didn't find Chiqi, and I didn't want to leave.

"She may have left first, and besides, this is a tribe of matriarchal society, she is a woman with a very high status here, and she will not be as miserable as us, please take us away quickly!"

They wept bitterly and prayed to me.

Seeing them snot and tears, I could only compromise.

After all, having lived on the island for more than twenty years, they easily took me out of the jungle and to where the dinghy docked last night.

My dinghy was parked on the beach unharmed, and Chiki's dinghy was still not far away.

"Let's go! Those tigresses of the province are chasing after you! ”

Jim urged me to get on the speedboat.

As soon as the words fell, I saw the black girl rushing over with a group of swarthy women.

We hurriedly got into the dinghy and sped away in the dinghy.

"Finally escaped!"

The four of them cheered loudly, but I couldn't be happy, because Chiki's boat was still there.

"We shouldn't have prepared Li Yu and Old Bruce to come back quietly, Bai has been in prison on the island for more than twenty years!"

The middle-aged man named David sighed.

"Li Yu? Bruce? ”

As soon as these two names entered my ears, I suddenly slowed down, "Li Yu is the Chinese in my body, and Old Bruce is the old sailor on a merchant ship." That's not right! Old Bruce said that he had seen Li Yu on this island ten years ago, and we also saw the blessing words that Li Yu left for him after he got out of danger. ”

"Is Li Yu a Chinese writer? And didn't Bruce come to the island again ten years ago? ”

I hurried to ask them.

"Yes! Li Yu is an amazing Chinese writer. But they left the island twenty-two years ago, and they probably didn't come ten years ago! Although we live in a matriarchal tribe, there is no shortage of treasure in the cave, and they should go and get it when they come back. ”

David replied.

"Damn! Not good! ”

I panicked when I heard this, we were deceived by that old Bruce! The words in the diary were written to him by Li Yu, but the time of writing is not 2048 but 2036! Then there is no point in Chi Qi looking for it on the island, the person she is looking for has already left twenty-two years ago!

Thinking of this, I turned around and wanted to go back to the island to inform Chiqi, but the four of them stopped me and refused to let me go back.

"I must inform my companions to leave quickly!"

I'm in a hurry!

"Really? I'm sorry about that! ”

The four of them gave a look, and they had already formed a tacit understanding after decades of getting along day and night. They lifted me up and threw me into the sea.
