Chapter 34: Survival
At sunrise in the east, the islanders of Baiou Island did not go out to sea as usual today, but went door to door to wake everyone up. Once you're together, head in the direction of Hook Lauren's house!
Originally, some people wanted to go alone last night, but after all, it was a hook on the Lauren family, and the tiger was still in danger! Not to mention this villain who didn't treat all the islanders as human beings?
Let's go together! We can take care of each other, and if we really find something good, it will save someone from swallowing it privately!
Sangis walked alone in the middle of the group, and a few familiar islanders were asking about the details of yesterday's fire!
Yesterday, I just heard the news that Sangis passed along the way, but I haven't seen him since then, and now I have just caught me, of course I want to get more detailed information!
"You mean, Hook Lauren was led into a pit by that woman and burned to death?" asked one of the men, who was missing half an arm, as they heard the details of last night.
"Hmm!" Sangis nodded in confirmation, "I can't hear what they're saying when I'm too far away, but I vaguely hear the kid and eat your words!"
"And!" Sangis pursed his lips and continued, "Huck went to me afterwards and left after asking about the Lauren family!"
Several people were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and they looked around to find the figure of the bachelor Huck!
"No, did you see that?"
A few others shook their heads and said no!
"You say, Huck was going to go yesterday?"
One of them, a mustache with no right leg at all, made a bold assumption that left everyone, including Sangeis, in a brief state of stupor.
At this moment, the eldest man's eyes rolled and he said, "Don't think about it so much! If you do see Huck in a moment, let's subdue him together and make him hand over everything!"
This idea was unanimously agreed by everyone, and it is not okay for a person to eat alone!
This is not the territory of the Emerald Principality, but no one cares about the affairs of White Gull Island!
No one is fair to you!
It's just that when everyone saw the situation in front of Lauren's house from afar, no one dared to take a step forward!
In the open space to the right of the door, Mary was doing laundry. In the rattan cradle beside him, two children were playing very obediently!
On the left, the pit that Sangis had spoken of is gone, replaced by a T-frame made entirely of wood!
The source of their fear is that Huck is completely fixed to the T-frame beam with his outstretched arms!
From the throat, there was no blood flowing out of the muscles that had been turned out of the cheeks, and only a large dark red that permeated the skin and clothes of the whole body was left!
Every seven or eight centimeters, a huge rivet passes through the skin, muscles, and bones between the rattan that binds the arms, firmly holding the arms to the shelf!
Looks like Huck died last night!
After Mary saw the traces of this group of people from a distance, she got up without the slightest panic and wiped the non-existent sweat on her forehead, and waited quietly with cold eyes!
She wanted to see what the hell the disabled people on the island were doing here!
"What should I do?
Silent!
On the premise that it's still uncertain what the situation is, this group of men and women who have no opinions are looking for someone who can become the backbone!
Whether they go or stay, as long as someone speaks and someone takes the lead, then most of them dare to try!
It's just that in the deepest part of my heart, maybe everyone wants to hurry up and go home!
Last night, he was burned to death by Lauren, the most powerful man on the island!
I didn't expect the death to be so miserable!
This situation made all the men on the island a little frightened, but for those women who had no status at all, they had a different kind of caution!
It turns out that women can be so powerful!
How did she do it?
That's Hook Lauren!
The older man pulled Sangis beside him and whispered, "Didn't you bring food to this woman?"
"Me?" Sangis grinned and pointed to his nose, confirming again. After getting the other party's nod of acknowledgement, he hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I don't want to die, Daddy Peter!"
Atina, who was standing at the front, heard Sangeis's answer behind her, and the already disdainful look on her face was suddenly mixed with disgust!
Glancing at the other two women beside him, in the eyes of the two of them who were extremely worried and the others were surprised, they walked towards Mary and the two children!
Sitting on the low stool again, Mary, who continued to wash her clothes, watched Atina walk away from the crowd and asked without raising her head, "Is there something?"
The closer she got to Mary, the more nervous Atina became, especially when she was closer than ten meters, and when she smelled the rancid smell of Huck's corpse, her face became more and more pale!
Am I going to die?
Will a woman suddenly burst into trouble?
Isn't she cruel?
Waiting for a series of messy questions to flash from Atina's mind, she was rushed down by other questions!
It wasn't until Mary spoke up that Atina had to take a deep breath and force herself to calm down, "We heard that Hook Lauren is dead, so let's see if there's anything you don't need?"
"Buzz!" a fly flew in front of Atina's eyes, and in a large circle, it flew again to the wound of Huck's corpse and landed.
Mary looked up at the corpse, "It was all burned last night! All the ashes are in the pit under the corpse!"
After saying that, he got up and walked to the corpse, lowered his head and kicked over the keg next to him, and the smell of fish oil wafted into Atina's nose with the wind!
Then Mary took the flint out of her front pocket and crouched down, "Bang, bang!"
The flames quickly spread along the fish oil and fish fat to the entire base, and in the blink of an eye, the all-wood T-frame and the corpse of Huck on it turned into an orange-red flower three or four meters tall that constantly emitted bursts of heat!
Mary and Atina in the vicinity were still dozens of meters away, and everyone was silently watching, accompanied by the sound of "crackle!crack!"
The last trace of Huck's existence in the world also disappeared in front of everyone's eyes with the tumbling flames!
"Whoa!"
As the wooden base collapsed, Mary turned and picked up the child in the cradle and walked inside.
As for what these people can find from the ashes?
Whatever!
As long as you don't bother yourself!
Otherwise, even with your teeth, you have to bite them to death!
During pregnancy, the food that Lauren had stored and what he secretly hid added up, which was enough to support himself for a long time!
In addition, there is a small fresh water well behind the house, so there is no problem with eating and drinking!
Atina looked at the suddenly collapsed T-frame in a daze, and a bold idea suddenly popped into her head: "Wait a minute!"
Mary turned around in surprise when she heard this: "Anything else?"
"I, I!" the articulate Atina suddenly became nervous in the face of Mary's question.
But she was already so disappointed in Sangeis that she had to pluck up her courage again: "I'm fed up with Sangees's! I, can I move in with you? I can do laundry, cook, and take care of the children! My name is Atina, and I am an orphan who was robbed by him a long time ago, and I have no surname!"
After speaking, although he did not dare to look at Mary because of extreme nervousness and uneasiness, he never left half a step under his feet!
"Come on, Atina, my name is Mary, Mary-Stryker!"
