Chapter 285: Proof of Want
Fierce eyes stared at them, and a group of natives rushed into the small room, feeling their eyes as they looked at the goods, Zhang Mingxi's body shrank back again.
The natives, who were the leader, were most conspicuously dressed, with many necklaces around their necks, precious stones, bones, and shells, and in their thick hands held a scepter that symbolized power, while the man who had just brought them food said something respectfully, in short, with a flattering effect.
There is no doubt that this man is the chief here.
Zhang Mingxi turned his head to look at the pale Lily and Wang Jiaojiao who were trembling all over, took a few deep breaths and spoke, his trembling lips calmed down, and he said with a full breath, "Quick, let go of us, we can give you gold." ”
She pointed to a ball made of gold on the tribal leader's scepter, and when she saw the leader's gaze, Zhang Mingxi's eyes swelled with hope, "Gold, that, we have a lot, let us go, we'll give it to you." ”
Zhang Mingxi didn't know if this leader understood what she meant, but he didn't pay attention to her words, but turned around and went out, and those entourages also left, the wooden door was closed again, and in the small room, only three people full of fear were left.
"Were they just discussing how to eat us, could they be cannibals?" Lily broke the silence with a crying voice, her face was full of tears, and she couldn't swallow the steamed buns in her mouth, and she spit them all out.
Zhang Mingxi and Wang Jiaojiao didn't answer, no one knew whether this group of people would eat people, but the gaze that looked at them just now was absolutely unfriendly.
If you fall into the hands of these barbarians, you will not be eaten, and the end will not be much better, I really can't imagine that I have worked so hard to escape from Snake Island in the front, and I will encounter the aborigines who will be arrested in the back.
"We've got to get out." Zhang Mingxi broke free of his hands and feet, and a firmness surged in his eyes, stronger than ever, "There is still a chance to fight, I don't want to give up like this." ”
She stood up cautiously in front of the wooden door, turned her head to look at Wang Jiaojiao and Lily, "What about you?" ”
Wang Jiaojiao also untied the rope, and nodded to Zhang Mingxi as she stood up, "Like you, waiting for death has never been my attitude towards life. ”
Zhang Mingxi admired Wang Jiaojiao's courage, but Lily was lying on the ground, because she was young, and in the face of life and death blows again and again, she had completely lost her desire to survive.
"Lily cheer up, we need you to stand up and be brave, we have escaped so many deaths, and this time we can get through it too." Wang Jiaojiao caressed Lily's back with her palm, wiping away the tears from her face.
With Wang Jiaojiao's encouragement and help, Lily got up from the ground and temporarily joined the survival team.
Zhang Mingxi made a silent gesture to the two of them, and then lay on the wooden door, pulling the door open little by little with her hand, through a crack in the door that was opened, she saw the situation outside, this village is not very big, there are a total of six wooden houses like the one where they are held, one of which is relatively large, it should be the room of the tribal leader.
It was full of people outside, not only the physically strong guards patrolling, but also a circle of bare-chested women doing things in the middle, so it was unlikely that they would want to walk in through this main entrance.
Zhang Mingxi looked at her feet and saw the damp soil, which made her overjoyed, "Outside you dug a tunnel from the back to escape, and the front was full of people." ”
Chen Yilin, Wang Yong, Wang Quan, Wang Juncheng were not so lucky, they were still locked in the house, and the four of them were directly tied to the pillars in the open air by these barbaric natives, and there were guards around them.
"President, is there anything you can do?" Wang Yong couldn't help but ask Chen Yilin next to him.
Chen Yirin has been staring at the people and environment around him, they can only find a way to escape at night, and the only thing they can do at the moment is to negotiate with the leader of the tribe.
"Talk to each other." Chen Yilin replied, looked at the guards beside him, and said in English, "Hello." ”
As a result, the other party just glanced at him, punched him in the chest by the way, and waved the spear in his hand as a warning.
Chen Yirin gasped, frowned, his complexion quickly returned to normal, and he cast a look of concern at the three who were worried, and then continued to change his language.
This time, he was also beaten by the guards, which was more severe than the last time.
Chen Yilin changed again, until the fifth time, when finally these people understood his words, his cold eyes shot directly at the red-eyed, angry guard, "I want to see your leader." ”
The guard raised the sharp spear in his hand and replied disdainfully, "We respect the great chief, and we will not meet guests easily. ”
"I can bring you wealth, gold, precious stones, and improve your lives." Chen Yilin was tempted by money, but he was not in a hurry before.
Sure enough, the guards were tempted, as if they didn't believe that this strange-looking person could bring these things, but they still explained to the guards next to them, and hurriedly ran to ask for someone.
"Did you take me?" Wang Yong asked worriedly, looking at the bloodshot at the corner of Chen Yirin's mouth, "Do you want to care?" ”
Chen Yilin shook his head, "Fortunately, they are also human beings, and they are people who like money, especially the leader of an ambitious tribe." His gaze swept over the new land that was being carved out behind them.
Soon the guards brought in the leader of the tribe.
The high leader looked at these strange strangers, and the scepter struck majestically on the ground, and everyone fell prostrate on the ground.
The leader's scepter pointed at the tip of Chen Yirin's nose, "It's you, looking for me?" ”
Chen Yirin's eyes were calm, listening to this contemptuous remark, his narrow eyes slowly narrowed, and a cold light burst out from them, his long figure was straight, and the kingly aura exuded from his whole body was not weaker than the leader sitting on the high chair, but overpowered.
The leader was immediately furious, and the scepter in his hand slammed to the ground, and the sound of "dong dong" was rapid and sharp, "It is better to give me a reason not to eat you, or you and your companions will all have to sacrifice to our great Kashata." ”
"How much gold do you want?" Chen Yilin's voice was understated, "Or jewelry, silk cloth, what do you want?" ”
The leader narrowed his eyes, the anger on his face gradually calmed down, and leaned back in his chair, "You have gold, I don't see it." ”
"Let us go, I can satisfy you as much gold as you want." Chen Yirin's words were confident, "You should know that outside of this island, there are tribes, and in other tribes, I am a businessman, with a lot of money, and I can provide almost everything you want." ”
He paused, saw that the other party was interested, and continued, "Eat us, you have nothing, this deal is a good deal." ”
"You're lying to me." The leader made a decisive decision, but not all of them, "unless you can prove it." ”
Zhang Mingxi and the three of them dug a cave in the morning room with their bare hands that barely allowed people to climb out, but as soon as they climbed out, they were discovered by the natives on the high platform, and they were quickly arrested, this time they were not locked back in the wooden house, but were tied to the pillar, the better thing is that they and Chen Yilin were tied together, knowing that each other was fine.
"How do you want me to prove it?" Chen Yilin glanced at Zhang Mingxi, who was arrested, and the hand on his side clenched tightly and loosened, released and clenched again.
He knew that he had to follow the other party's path now, and since he wanted to prove it, he asked what the proof was, and he was proving that the most basic business negotiation of the mall people, for the leader of a backward tribe, he would be played with applause.
It's just that I didn't expect the leader to give them proof that a few steps were impossible
The first leader was flustered, "It's not nothing, I know that there is a gold mine on Lindao, and I have always wanted to occupy it, and if you take your people to take this mine for me, it will be the best proof." ”
"Mines?" Chen Yilin furrowed his brows, "Are there any other tribes here?" "Things are getting more and more complicated, they were trying to escape, and now they are drawn into the tribal struggle.
Zhang Mingxi couldn't understand the conversation between Chen Yilin and this leader, but she could tell from the expressions of the two that the conversation was not very smooth, and Chen Yilin was in a dilemma.
"Yi Rin, don't promise him." No matter what it was, she didn't want Chen Yilin to agree, she had a hunch that this island was full of weirdness.
Chen Yilin turned his head sideways, and when he saw Zhang Mingxi shaking his head at him, his brows furrowed even tighter, "Can you be specific?" If I really can't do it, I won't be able to promise your proof, and I won't waste everyone's time. ”
"There's a bunch of people on the island, they have things that can kill people from a distance, and pythons, and beyond that, there's that gold mine." The leader had a look of fear and greed on his face.
Chen Yilin knew in his heart that it was still the snake island, they were all bare-handed, the other party had guns, snakes, and evil arts, and they were hitting stones with eggs.
"Can you contact the outside world here?"
The leader shook his head and replied sincerely, "I have not seen anyone else except you and the people of Snake Island, and our tribe has never left this island, and those who have tried have never returned. ”
Chen Yilin finally agreed, they had no choice but to go to Snake Island to save their lives, and only Snake Island had the only communication they could contact the outside world.
The leader locked everyone in a house and told them to set off as soon as possible, Chen Yilin didn't understand why he wanted him to hurry up, but he didn't delay for a moment to start discussing the plan.
Zhang Mingxi sat on the side and was silent, she didn't understand the art of war, nor did she understand strategy, the only thing she could do was to support Chen Yilin strongly.
She curled her lips slightly, and her eyes reflected the tall and muscular man beside her, his calm face, wise eyes, deep voice, and careful analysis.
She got to know Chen Yilin more again, his serious work appearance, his general demeanor in directing an offensive battle, she now knows that Chen Yilin has also been a soldier, no wonder he is a strict person.
"Do you have anything to add to this plan?" Chen Yilin leaned forward slightly, propped his arms on the table, and his cold eyes scanned everyone back and forth.
"I, I have something to add?" Wang Juncheng raised his hand high, stood up suddenly, and said loudly, "I'm a man, you forgot me!" ”
I'm still looking for "Honey love little secretary, I don't follow the president!" "Free?
