Chapter 41: Relic
Maybe Ivan is right, whether it is marijuana or opium, it is not a drug at first, but after taking a large amount, the human body becomes dependent on drugs, and the body and mind are released at the same time as the body collapses, these are all a slow evolutionary process, at the beginning, no one thought it was a bad thing.
The fact that he is okay with what he eats now does not mean that he will be fine in the future, let alone that he will be fine for the rest of his life, since Ivan knows the harm of the holy fruit, he has no reason to deceive himself.
"Thank you for telling me this, since you know that the holy fruit is not good, why do you still eat it, drugs will slowly corrode your body and mind."
"It can't be said that this holy fruit is poisonous, but as long as it is taken in small amounts, it is not harmful to the body. You don't know, this holy fruit has a good therapeutic effect on polio, Parkinson's disease and other sports diseases, some athletes in order to achieve good results in the competition, but also buy these holy fruits at a high price, this bag of holy fruit shreds to the black market to buy, for a thousand yuan", Ivan patted the holy fruit in his pocket and said.
"Then why don't you buy more, aren't you short of money?" Lu Tianyu sneered.
Ivan whispered: "You think I don't want to!" The Zoe people don't use much, it's still for the sake of the face I brought you here, and the Zoe people are willing to sell it to me. This thing is produced in the territory of the cannibals in the lower reaches of the Yapura River, and the Zoe people secretly pick it once a year, and it is nothing to kill a few people, now know that this thing is expensive. ”
He didn't have any interest in the holy fruit, so he didn't bother to talk to Ivan, and sneered: "Since it's a good thing, you can collect it yourself and enjoy it slowly, don't waste it." ”
Ivan put his hands on his chest, lay on the straw mat with his eyes closed, and said with a wistful expression: "This is not the best, if you can get fresh holy juice, it will be worth it." The Zoe people retrieved the fresh holy fruit, and the remaining pulp after squeezing the juice was made into dried fruit shreds, and if they could get a bottle of holy juice, this trip would be considered a big profit. ”
"Then why don't you ask the Zoe people?"
"Yes, they didn't give it to me, they only gave Danny a small bottle, I wanted to trick it from Danny's hands", Ivan suddenly sat up, stretched out his head to look outside, and said mysteriously: "It's not strange that you say, Danny seems to know the holy juice, I asked him for it, but he didn't give it to him if he lived or died." It doesn't make sense! How did Danny know about the importance of holy juice? After Ivan finished speaking, he looked at Lu Tianyu suspiciously, as if he understood something.
"What is holy juice and what is it for?"
"You don't understand, I'll tell you when I have time", Ivan lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent without looking back, leaving Lu Tianyu with a confused face.
The Zoe people came to the camp with local goods to exchange with the members of the expedition, a blanket for a deerskin, a bag of salt for a pile of colorful feathers, and even the iron pot used by the expedition, the Zoe people also wanted to exchange things, but the exchange people were mainly local guards.
The local guards seemed to have been prepared for a long time, running among the Zoe people one by one, and when there was really nothing to change, they directly dragged the indigenous women into the woods, and when they came out, they were satisfied with a soup spoon in the hands of the indigenous women, and then continued to wander among the indigenous women.
A short and sturdy aboriginal with two brocade chickens in his hand, walked up to Lu Tianyu and gestured, and said that he didn't understand what this aboriginal meant for a long time, so the guard who called Lassi came over, pointed to the armed belt around Lu Tianyu's waist, and then pointed to the golden chicken in the hands of the aborigines, and then crossed to make an exchange posture, and smiled Lu Tianyu's armed belt and handed it to the aborigines.
Lu Tianyu was still wondering, he didn't seem to have agreed to this deal, why did the natives leave the golden chicken, run away with their armed belts and disappear, isn't this a robbery?
The Lassi's guard pointed to the golden chicken on the ground with a happy face, and then pointed to his mouth, it turned out that this guy wanted to eat chickens and use his own armed belt to be a good person, it was really a big dick silk that mosquitoes fell on the eggs, Lu Tianyu kicked the guard angrily, and walked to the creek with the two golden chickens on the ground.
There is no way, I can't regret it, the deal has been completed, and I can't even see the appearance of the indigenous person clearly, so I can only grit my teeth and accept this unfair deal.
The campsite of the expedition team is close to a small stream, the upstream is clear mountain spring water, the water is very sweet, Lu Tianyu took out a Swiss army knife to carefully clean the feathers and internal organs of the golden chicken, and then found a banana leaf, sprinkled some refined salt, wrapped the two golden chickens with soil, and prepared to make a chicken.
The internal organs and blood stains of the golden pheasant need to be cleaned up and buried in time, so as not to attract large predators, which is common sense to survive in the forest. Although Ina is willful and coquettish, but thinking of the relationship between the two, what is good, Lu Tianyu still thinks of giving it to Ina.
Lu Tianyu kicked the soft soil with his foot, looked up and suddenly saw Ina coming out of the woods next to her in a panic, "Ina! He waved the feather in his hand, hoping to clear up the misunderstanding between the two.
Ina saw Lu Tianyu by the stream, with a displeased expression on her face, "What's the matter, tell me quickly." ”
The cold tone made Lu Tianyu feel uncomfortable, and he forced his anger and said, "I got a few brocade chicken feathers just now, I hope you like it", and handed the feathers to Ina as he spoke.
"Who cares about these rotten things of you", Ina threw the feather on the ground in disgust, and kicked a few hard, "Please don't bother me in the future, there is nothing to say between us, please respect yourself!" ”
Looking at Ina's distant back, Lu Tianyu's heart seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and being insulted like this put him on the verge of rage, his blood surged angrily towards Tianlinggai, his fists clenched, his mouth opened or he endured it, "What's wrong with you, is it that you are really in love with Ina", Lu Tianyu hung his arm weakly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.
At this time, Lu Tianyu found that he was like a clown, standing in the spotlight of the stage and being in love, but in fact, he was nothing, ridiculous and extremely narcissistic.
People sometimes need to recognize that it is not others, but themselves, only when they recognize themselves, they find that everything is so ridiculous and helpless. I am like those two golden chickens, only when I need it, I will satisfy the appetite of others, and then be forgotten and abandoned.
If you want to blame yourself, you don't have self-knowledge, you can't blame others, you are not the object of pity in other people's mouths, and you don't need the sympathy of others. Self-deprecation can sometimes make you sober, what are you doing, two people are two parallel lines that cannot cross, and a short time together leaves only short-term memories, even if the most beautiful moment can only be the splendor of the past.
Thinking of this, Lu Tianyu felt that his whole body became relaxed, it was his own passion, letting go does not necessarily mean losing, he may gain more. I don't want to be a firework in someone else's hand, although it is beautiful but it can't last, no one will remember the fireworks in their hands.
Ivan returned to the camp with a depressed face, Lu Tianyu didn't ask Ivan how things were going, this matter had nothing to do with him, and Ivan didn't need to talk to him about it anymore.
"Lu Tianyu, your chicken is good, did you cook a lot at home before?" Ivan ripped off a chicken leg, his mouth was full of oil, and he ate it with relish.
"I used to go out hunting a lot, and after a long time, I would naturally cook some food, and eat more if I liked", Lu Tianyu found that he had no appetite, a chicken was given to the local guard, he asked for two wings, and the rest was given to Ivan.
"The expedition is going to be here for two days, how about we go out hunting tomorrow?"
"Aren't we going to the lower Yapura experimental station? Why did I stay here, I always felt that something was going to happen, and my heart was panicked. ”
"You're too worried, Danny said that he wants to inspect here, he can't delay it for a few days, it's safe here, maybe you're too nervous, you should have a good rest and relax."
Lu Tianyu always felt that something was wrong, and since the last dog and wolf sneak attack came true, this feeling has been around him, and he can't say clearly, but it lingers. Maybe Ivan is right, his nerves are a little tight during this time, and he really needs to relax: "Okay, tomorrow we will walk around, this is the first time I have been here, the scenery here is good." ”
There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning, Lu Tianyu was awakened by a noise, and Ivan rushed in from outside the tent in a panic: "Oh no, get up quickly, something big is wrong." ”
Lu Tianyu was confused, why something big happened when he woke up, "What happened, why is it noisy outside." ”
"I heard that the natives have lost something and want to check it at the camp? I don't know that the natives have surrounded the camp with weapons, and Danny is negotiating with the natives. ”
"Lose something, what do the natives have to lose", Lu Tianyu felt that he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, what good things could these tattered aborigines have, and said disapprerovingly: "Do you know what to lose?" It couldn't be an indigenous woman running away with the guards. ”
"It seems that I heard that it is a sacred relic of the indigenous people, what kind of fist-sized red stone, hurry up, something really big has happened", Ivan pointed to the gun beside Lu Tianyu after speaking: "Remember to bring the weapon, I'll go out and have a look first." ”
"Holy relic, a fist-sized red stone, it can't be a gem," Lu Tianyu thought as he put on his clothes and walked out of the tent, finding that the camp was surrounded by hundreds of angry natives, waving spears and bows and arrows in their hands, chattering and not knowing what they were saying.
Looking around the camp, whether it is the experts of the expedition team or the local guards, they are all holding weapons in their hands, and the atmosphere is quite tense.
"Ina is there", Lu Tianyu instinctively looked for Ina in the crowd, but didn't find Ina either, if Ina had an accident, his bodyguard would be the end.
"Ina, where are you", Lu Tianyu looked for Ina in the crowd and saw Julia in the crowd, "Julia, did you see Ina yet?" ”
Julia looked around and said, "Still here just now?" ”
