Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Canoe Bound for Heaven
The natives who followed closely behind him threw out the spears in their hands, and swished down on the sea not far from me, shouting farther and farther away, and when I looked back, I realized that their swimming postures were strange, and most of them were breaststrokes, but in terms of speed, there was a big gap between them and the freestyle that I had practiced for several years, and even the two who originally swam in front of me were gradually overtaken by me.
The surging sea water in the reef area washed me around, and the closer I got to the canoe, the shallower and shallower the sea became, and the moment I rolled into the boat it seemed like a world away, but the danger was still there, the natives in the sea chased the girl closer and closer, and it was only a dozen meters away from my boat, and the mouth was still babbling and screaming, and the girl and the aboriginal brother were obviously a little exhausted, and they couldn't climb the reef I was in.
By the faint moonlight, I turned out the handcuff that I had hidden in the groove of the side of the ship, I was a little worried about whether it would work, but I threw the bowel bird on the cliff, and now the only thing that could save my life was this beautifully made but sometimes ineffective handicraft, after a slight examination of the gunpowder, I jumped out of the boat to untie the cable wrapped around the reef, and beckoned to the girl and shouted a few words to the girl, asking them to swim quickly, the speed of the two was too slow, a woman is a woman after all, No matter how strong the explosive force was before, the physical strength was still fatal, and in the end I had to throw the cable at her to barely surface and was finally dragged onto the boat.
I was overjoyed that the oars pushed the boat out of the reef against the rocks, a task that I could do alone, but now that the indigenous lads were able to do it with ease, after all, I could hide my hands in the barn and just watch the wild men move.
They looked so angry that they kept throwing their spears at our position, and even the wild man with the earthen bow was among them, and this distance of less than ten meters made the young man who was trying to push the boat hang on his arm, and the blood ran down his arm and then fell to the side of the boat, and for a long time to come, the boat was kept by me for a long, long time, and the young man's blood mark was finally burned on the boat and became the symbol of the ship.
Of course, this was a long time later, and I knew that if I didn't do something about it, the arrogant savage might be followed by something even crazier.
Thinking of this, I aimed at the reef at the foot of the wild man with a handcuff and a shot, the sound of the gun pierced the night sky in the middle of the night, but in a blink of an eye was instantly drowned by the heavy sound of the waves, despite this, the smoke mixed with the strong smell of sulfur still made the natives who were chasing down the sea suddenly silent, I had no intention of shooting the wild man, but I saw the bow and arrow in his hand fell on the reef, and his body knelt down little by little, and fell into the sea with a pop. "Perhaps, this is fate, a stray bullet pierced his body, I hope he is still alive." I kept saying this in my heart.
With his gun in hand, he turned around and tried to reload some gunpowder and buckshot, in case the vicious savage dogs behind him jumped over the wall to catch up, but found that the boat slowly stopped, and the native boy who had been rocking the oars pulled the girl to kneel on the board, kissed the board from time to time, and then stood up and walked up to me and knelt down again, holding my feet with both hands and putting them on his head, I wanted to move away, but he insisted on holding his feet to death, and reading something in his mouth.
It was like a ritual, for I saw the girl kneeling there, with her hands clasped together on her head, and saying the same words as the young man, and although I could not understand them, I seemed to understand that they were doing a kind of ritual of "confessing the Lord," that is, to show me that in the future, they would like to be my servants or my efforts.
I didn't dare to put down the handcuffs, after all, people's hearts are separated from their bellies, no matter how they are indigenous savages, plus I have seen the skills of that girl, and I am no match for her at all with my bare hands, but I still helped them up with my other hand, and told them in the most peaceful tone that I would not hurt any of them, and at the same time gestured a few times with the bird gun in my hand, and shook my hand, telling them that this thing will only hit those who have bad intentions towards me, such as those savages behind me, I pointed in the direction of the reef.
The young man tried to kneel, but I stopped him, motioned for him to paddle, and told the girl not to stand on the bow of the boat, which would increase the wind resistance and make the boat unpleasant, and then realized that the impact of the water had taken away the only animal skin cloth on her body when she had just jumped into the sea, and now she looked at me naked, which made me feel embarrassed, and hurriedly found a new spare garment in the inner compartment and threw it to her, telling her to put it on.
She held her clothes, tilted her head and looked at me with her watery eyes, and then shook her head again, frowning at the clothes in a daze, I looked at the reef area in the distance, those wild people had gradually disappeared into the night, so I hung the gun on my waist and helped her put on her clothes, but who knew that as soon as the clothes touched her body, she knelt down again, and learned the movements of the young man just now to move my feet, this time I was really impatient, and it was important to run for my life, Who has so much spare time to play this kind of game with them? But then I understood what it meant, and she probably thought I was trying to trap her and kill her, because she was just kneeling and not doing what the lad had just done.
The man who was paddling kept looking at us from the corner of his eye, and when he saw that I was also looking at him, he immediately looked away again, as if he was very worried about this sexy indigenous girl at my feet, and I had no choice but to comfort her softly, and let her touch my clothes with her hand, and then I put the clothes on her body again, originally I used the way of pulling my head, but I was afraid that she would resist again, so I had to use "draped", but, you know, buttons are a big problem, I am really embarrassed to do this to an uncivilized indigenous woman" intimacy", in the end, it took a lot of effort to put a blouse crookedly on her body.
Looking at her, I always want to laugh in my heart, maybe I am not used to having things on my body, and clothes are obviously an extra burden on her body, causing her to shrug her shoulders and twist her waist for a while, and even make a gesture to unbutton it off later!
I hurriedly stopped her, gestured to my body a few times, let her understand, people need to wear clothes, and pointed to the crotch of the young man who was only tied to a few large bundles of rattan and shook his finger, signaling that naked is not good, she tilted her head to look at me again, learned me to shake her fingers, and pronounced a "no" word in her mouth, her action made me dance happily for a while, before I calmed down and made me worry again.
Tonight's sea is calm, but the tide at the junction of the near sea and the far sea is still the fatal wound of this small boat, fortunately, I and the indigenous boy rocked together, only to get rid of the control of the tide, looking at the boundless sea, where the next piece of land is the most anxious thing for me, there is only a large tank of fresh water in the cabin, if to my previous consumption rate, within a day, the three of us will drink the jar to the bottom, at that time, no "Shanna Sun God", can not escape the fate of being thirsty to death.
But when she looked up at the two of them, she was not at all in a hurry, and the girl was still fiddling with the new dress, as if the overalls, which had been dusted in the plastic sheet for four years, had infinite magic to be studied by her, while the young man was still paddling, and I knew that if I didn't tell him to stop, he would keep rowing until we were all in heaven.
