Chapter 69: The Law of Survival
Legend has it that cannibals are barbarians who eat human flesh, and many people think this is sensational, but they do exist. For a long time, the stories and hearsay in the language have been proven to be true, as evidenced by the sights of all the crew members of Columbus's second expedition across the Pacific. The ship's doctor mentions some of the Arawak captives in his letter to the ship, telling the story of cannibalism on a small island that is what is now Guadroupe.
Some of the women who had been captives of the islanders were asked what kind of people they were, and they replied "Caribbeans". They were overjoyed to hear that the Columbus group abhorred this criminal act of cannibalism...... and the Caribbeans treated them with unbelievable cruelty; Caribbeans eat their children and raise only the children born to their own women.
All the male captives who were alive were brought back and eaten, and those who were killed in the battle were eaten after the battle was over. They claim that human flesh is so delicious that nothing in the world can compare with it; All this is true, because we found human bones in the house, and all the edible parts were eaten, leaving only the parts that were too hard to eat. In one of the houses, a man's neck ...... was found in a pot, and when the Caribbeans took prisoners of war, they removed the genitals of the boys in order to make them fatter, but they killed and ate the boys because they thought the flesh of women and children was not tasty.
Hundreds of years have passed, and I didn't expect that I would see such a terrifying scene one day, and I didn't want to see the bloody scene, but those who were killed wanted to see it themselves, and if it was an expedition, I should find a way to rescue it.
got off the tree, hid in the darkness and walked forward, the camp around the cannibal didn't even have a stake, give yourself a "Gatling" machine gun, you can kill a three-in and three-out, a wild man is a wild man, there is not even a sentry, Lu Tianyu couldn't believe it, he just walked into the cannibal camp with such a big bang.
The cannibal house is not large, the conical structure is built with branches on all sides, covered with thatch, and the door is covered with a piece of animal skin, the real road is not forgotten, and the night is not closed, if there is a pair of dogs and men and women inside, they can not see clearly.
Walk around the jumble of houses, and then go further to the middle of the camp, hiding behind a room and sticking your head out to look inside.
It's okay not to look at it, but it almost didn't scare Lu Tianyu's soul away, and the terrifying scene made his eyes widen, and his eyeballs were about to fall off.
I saw a huge fire in the middle of the camp, which was more than one person high, and the raging flames only rushed to the black curtain, and the rolling heat wave hit people, which made people sweat. There were three thick wooden sticks standing next to the fire, and two people were tied in the middle of the sticks, both of them were naked and naked* and tied into a large zigzag, and a black thing was pulled down from the crotch, indicating that these were two men.
A woman covered in I don't know what kind of paint she didn't know, her head was full of feathers, like a proud golden pheasant, with a string of necklaces made of unknown bones hanging around her neck, hanging down to her waist, with a large piece of animal skin tied around her waist, and ankles made of many bones, her body swayed up and down to the rhythm of the drum, swaying up and down, left and right, muttering incessantly, holding a huge wooden container in her hand, and smearing something on the two captives with her long feathers, It's reminiscent of a barbecue.
The two people who were tied to the stake, who didn't know what was stuffed in their mouths, shook their heads desperately, their bodies swinging between the stakes, and there was blood on their wrists and ankles.
Judging from the figure, this is not a member of the expedition, it should be other natives, but I don't understand why he was caught by the cannibals, could it be that he also came to steal the holy fruit. Lu Tianyu didn't want to know, and he didn't need to know that these two people didn't need to rescue themselves, because the sacrifice of the cannibals had already begun .......
Lu Tianyu couldn't bear to watch it anymore, the scene in front of him made him nauseous, the acid water in his stomach kept gushing up, and he desperately covered his mouth to prevent himself from throwing it out.
Those sacrificial scenes left a deep impression on Lu Tianyu, as long as he closed his eyes, he could see the two victims being constantly mocked by the cannibals, beating them on their bodies with lit wooden poles, and some directly hitting their heads and lower bodies, except for desperately struggling and dodging, the two victims did not make any sound, only the twisted bodies indicated that they were still alive.
A cannibal with a huge wooden pole struck the head of a victim so hard that white brains and blinding blood trickled down from the skull, and he saw that he would not survive immediately. Another cannibal took a sharpened wooden pole and stabbed it up from the anus of a victim, and the bloody wooden pole did not know what internal organs it had brought out of the victim's mouth, and the victim finally convulsed, his body kept shaking, and a foul smell came.
Those cannibals obviously fell into a kind of madness, holding sharp stones, cutting the skin of the victims, and the whole piece of bloody skin was completely peeled off, revealing bloody muscles, making Lu Tianyu can't help but fly out of the sky.
The bodies of the victims were quickly divided, and several cannibal women ran and reveled around the fire with their bloody thighs and arms, and they would not let go of the victims' internal organs, and threw them into the clay pot next to the fire, ready to make a "Mingo" soup for them and the children to drink, and as for the heads of the victims, they were not made into wine glasses, but were kicked around by the cannibal children and used as toys.
A few cannibal children scooped up a piece of meat from the crockpot and ran happily into the house, the scene was suffocating and creepy.
Lu Tianyu saw a cannibal child running in his direction, and he was so angry that he even had the heart to strangle this child, this is not a place where people should stay, and they will become a member of the damned cannibal when they grow up.
The spear was raised and put down, it was not difficult to kill a few cannibals, but in this way, he would also become a delicacy in the mouths of cannibals, and he didn't want to die now.
Lu Tianyu quietly hid his body in the shadow behind the house, and just as he wanted to turn around and leave, he found that several cannibals came from behind with torches, and there was no choice but to get into the cannibal house.
There was no one in the room, and there were not many furnishings inside, so I glanced around with the light shining in from the outside, and my eyes rested on a backpack. This is a mountaineering bag made of cowhide, very large, sturdy and very familiar, Lu Tianyu remembered, this is the mountaineering bag of geography expert Shi Mingbei.
I took the hiking bag and opened it to see that there were really a lot of things inside, including canned food, medicines, ......, and a pistol, and even found a photo of Shi Ming and his relatives.
There are no clothes in the mountaineering bag, it is estimated that it was worn by the cannibal, it is estimated that the things in the mountaineering bag, the cannibal has not thought of how to use it, and now it is all returned to Lu Tianyu, with these things, the hope of getting out of the forest by himself is much greater.
The cannibal sacrifices and revelry are coming to an end, and they are feasting on disgusting food, and if they don't leave now, they will soon become their meal.
Now that the cannibal camp has been discovered, there should be no problem for him to go north, and he can quickly escape from their territory, and he doesn't believe that the cannibals can still chase him for a lifetime. Thinking of this, Lu Tianyu didn't hesitate to get out of the cannibal's house, glanced around, pressed his body very low, almost touched the ground, and ran towards the woods to the north.
If you want to walk in the forest at night, in addition to looking for death, this is not a place where normal people should stay, at the beginning, you can still walk outside the woods, and soon you find that there is no road, if you want to go north, you must pass through a large forest, otherwise you can only go back, which is obviously not Lu Tianyu's willingness.
After looking at the sky, and then behind him, he could no longer see the fire of the cannibal camp, so he relieved himself and found a tree to rest first, and then left after dawn.
In the forest, there is no safe place, maybe one moment is safe, the next moment it will become dangerous.
Along the way, I saw a huge python in the grass, my stomach was bulging, I didn't know what was stuffed in, I lay there motionless, I didn't dare to disturb the python's meal, or avoided it from a distance. In the bushes, a rabbit struggled desperately, its legs kicking around, its head wrapped around an unknown plant, and it didn't move.
The animal skin stolen from the cannibal house was tightly wrapped around Lu Tianyu's body, and his body was sprinkled with deworming drugs, and the smell was terrible, but for the sake of his own life, this crime still had to be suffered, otherwise it would be impossible to go back alive if he was bitten by some insect. At this time, he began to thank Shi Ming in his heart for the medicine in his mountaineering bag, and when he went back, he must give Shi Ming a stick of incense, and burn a little paper money casually, he already loved Shi Ming who lost his mountaineering bag, but he didn't know if Shi Ming was still alive.
Walking in the forest, if you don't encounter any large beasts, you can only say that you have eaten shit luck. It is not uncommon to be chased by a wild boar to the tree, I wanted to kill the wild boar with one shot, but I was worried that the blood would attract other poisonous insects and beasts, so I could only climb the tree to escape. But when the jaguar appeared in front of Lu Tianyu, it was unavoidable, this animal can also climb trees, and it is no worse than humans, even if it is a monkey in the tree, it will become a delicacy in the mouth of the jaguar if it is not careful.
There are a lot of monkeys in the Amazon rainforest, Lu Tianyu doesn't know it, when he sees the small monkeys, he is happy and amused, and when he encounters those big and sturdy monkeys, he can only retreat, he doesn't want to provoke those big guys. As long as it is a large animal, none of them are easy to mess with, haven't you seen a simple panda chasing jackals running around the mountains? If you provoke them, the temper comes up and slaps a Lu Tianyu to death, it's not like slapping an ant to death.
Seeing a group of small monkeys jumping around in the treetops, you know that the surroundings must be safe, the monkeys are very alert, and when there is danger, they will yell and call for the attention of their companions.
When there will be mistakes in the calculation, Lu Tianyu was severely pit by the monkey, and he was studying himself as a monkey playing, when he suddenly heard a commotion not far away. The vigilance of the past few days has made him conclude that there must be a small beast in front of him, and now Lu Tianyu does not dare to use a gun at all, first, there are not many bullets, second, it may attract other large predatory animals, and second, he can't determine whether he has stepped out of the territory of cannibals.
I don't know if it's because of my exercise in the field during this time, my ears are particularly sharp to the sounds around me, and I have learned to use my ears to find the special function of animals, as long as I hear the slightest sound, I can judge the direction and the size of the animal. The second level of the five hearts seems to have broken through inadvertently, when I was a child, I heard my father boast that if I can reach the second level of the five hearts and one battle, the breath on my body can merge with everything around me, and I can feel the slight changes around me, is this true?
Lu Tianyu was very curious, and the monkey on the tree did not panic, but looked at himself on the ground curiously.
Move your steps lightly and quietly lean over, believing that the other party will not be too far away from you. As expected, a fierce beast suddenly jumped forward from the right side a few meters away, and then hid behind a big tree a little farther away, and Lu Tianyu suddenly saw the back half of its body: it was a jaguar. Fear, curiosity, and competitiveness all came up at the same time, mixing together. I made up my mind, I wanted to leave, and I wanted to see a competition.
In the end, the idea of wanting to find out prevailed, Lu Tianyu slowly pulled out a machete more than 60 centimeters long from his back, clenched it in his hand, and moved closer to the position of the big tree. The machete was also taken from the cannibal house, and it wouldn't be a cannibal thing, since it wasn't a cannibal thing, it wouldn't be a steal if you took it yourself.
Holding his breath and walking forward, he slowly circled the tree five or six meters away from it, hoping to see the "heroic image" of the jaguar. Unexpectedly, after turning around for most of the circle, he didn't see anything, Lu Tianyu really couldn't figure out where the other party could hide. According to his judgment, the jaguar must be behind the tree. I didn't know the bottom of my heart, and secretly persuaded myself not to make a fuss about nothing, and to end this dangerous game of hide and seek as soon as possible.
Steady his mind, insert the knife into the backpack behind him, and walk back the way he came. Who knows, I vaguely heard a voice tracking from behind, and the closer and closer, Lu Tianyu was a little hairy: Could it be that it is not "finished".
