Chapter 10: Aaron
The man said that he was afraid of spoiling his firewood, but it was not a joke that he would add dead branches to the fire every time it burned until there was only a little left, anyway, to ensure that the fire was not extinguished.
Although those snakes were afraid that the water would not be able to pass, the sizzling sound did not stop, and Jiang Yunheng, who was listening, was furious in his heart, looking at the man next to him who was seriously thinking about how to add firewood, and couldn't help but talk to divert his attention. "What's your name?"
"Me?" The man pointed at himself. "Hehe, I forgot."
"Can you forget your name?"
The man lifted Erlang's legs and wiped the dirt from his face. "If you stay here for a few years, like me, you'll forget everything."
Jiang Yunheng showed an expression of disbelief. "Have you really been here for so long?"
"Or else?"
"Then why did you come to this island?"
The man took a small twig and bit it in his mouth, as if he was remembering something. "Why? By the way, why exactly? ”
Jiang Yunheng asked again: "Then you haven't thought of a way to get out?" ”
"What's the use of thinking about it?" The man took a bite of the branch, and the taste was bad and he spit it out. "The island is full of all kinds of monsters, and there are turbulent waves outside, is there any way to get out?"
Jiang Yunheng lowered his head and wiped his face with his hands. "Is there really no way?"
"Hey, hey, hey!" The man laughed. "Anyway, I can't help it, it depends on whether you two have it, by the way, who are you two? What to do on this island? ”
"My name is Jiang Yunheng, my brother's name is Jiang Qinling, come to my mother!"
"Your mother?" The man asked curiously, "You came to this place to find your mother?" ”
Jiang Yunheng nodded. "Hmm!"
"Ouch, there's nothing wrong with you two!" The man was happy. "Where is there anyone in this place?"
"I don't know." Jiang Yunheng looked back at the sleeping Jiang Qinling. "My brother said that my mother might have come to sea, and we came with the idea of trying it out."
"Your brother is good at."
Jiang Yun glanced at the man and did not argue with him. "You said you don't remember your name, you have to have a name!"
The man rolled his eyes. "Well! Call me Aaron. ”
"Aaron?"
"Look at those things out there." The man pointed outside. "I don't know how it grows, I don't have to think of a domineering name to be able to suppress them."
"Aaron...... Domineering? ”
Jiang Yunheng was a little speechless, and in his impression, it seemed that only those little gangsters on the streets and alleys called themselves Ah Long and Ah Hu. Men waved their hands indifferently.
"If you don't feel domineering, don't scream, I can't force you anyway."
Jiang Yun pulled the corners of his mouth noncommittally. "It's a desperate place."
"That's what, despair is still to come!" The man who called himself Ah Long lay back after speaking, and when he raised his head, he saw the light at the entrance of the cave, and said quietly: "It's dawn." ”
Jiang Yunheng couldn't understand why Ah Long had such a demeanor. "What's wrong with dawn?"
Aaron's dirty face showed that oozing smile again. "It's dawn, which means it's time for them to be active again."
"They?"
Ah Long didn't speak, pointing to the place where those snakes were wandering before, and Jiang Yun looked at him sideways. "The snakes are gone."
Aaron's whole person has become mysterious. "I suggest you wake up your brother."
Jiang Yunheng's heart was raised. "For ...... What the? ”
"Scared by it."
"Who is it?"
Aaron pointed upwards again. "Listen."
"Knock knock!"
Jiang Yunheng's palms clenched unconsciously. "What's that?"
"The biggest and scariest thing I've ever seen on this island."
Jiang Yunheng was even more nervous. "Cannibalism too?"
Aaron laughed again. "From ants to monsters, there's no one here who doesn't eat people."
Jiang Yunheng listened to Ah Long's words and unconsciously swallowed and spit. "It'...... Can you come in here? ”
Aaron clapped his palm. "It is a bear when it stands up, a tiger when it lies down, and a leopard when it runs.
"How do you know so well?"
"Last time, I went out to collect firewood, but I didn't find a few firewoods and ran into a monster, so I didn't run."
"And then? Are you being overtaken? ”
Ah Long looked at Jiang Yunheng like a fool. "Caught up and now it's a ghost talking to you?"
Jiang Yunheng pursed his lips to hide the embarrassment of that moment, and Ah Long continued.
"That monster is running really fast, I couldn't outrun him, but it turned out to be good, there was another one in front of him, bigger than the previous one, oh, just the ancestor above."
"Two monsters? How did you get out of danger? ”
Aaron wiped his nose. "I didn't get out of danger by myself, it was the monster that chased the monster in front of me later, and I ran away."
"And how do you know it eats everything?"
"Because I glanced back as I ran, and saw that the monster that appeared later didn't run far before it caught up with the one in front of me, and tore all over and fell to eat meat."
Jiang Yun opened and closed his mouth horizontally, unable to say a word for a long time. "These snakes are gone, because you sense their presence?"
Aaron shrugged his shoulders. "Probably!"
Jiang Yun looked at Jiang Qinling horizontally, considering his physical condition, he hesitated to wake him up, but what if he didn't wake up, he really had a situation.
Ah Long stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Jiang Yunheng. "What do you think?"
Jiang Yun snorted. "My brother ......"
"How?" Ah Long approached Jiang Yunheng. "Are you afraid?"
Jiang Yunheng frowned and did not speak.
"Hahahahaha...... Hahaha! Aaron suddenly rolled on the ground laughing.
Jiang Yun looked at it inexplicably. "What are you laughing at?"
"Laugh at you stupid!"
Jiang Yunheng was speechless. "What you just said ......"
"Lie to you."
The corners of Jiang Yun's mouth began to twitch. "You're so relaxed."
"You don't know!" Aaron laughed enough and got up from the ground. "I'm bored here, I've wondered a million times if someone will come to be my companion, and if so, how will I entertain him, I've made up a lot of stories like this, do you want to listen to them."
"Boring!" Jiang Yun was angry that Ah Long still had this leisure at this time, got up and went to sit a little farther away.
Aaron walked over. "Eh, don't be angry, we can't get out anyway, we have to have some fun to pass the time, don't we?"
"Then you say, what the hell is this? Have you really seen it? ”
"I haven't seen it." Aaron confessed simply. "But every time it passes, the snakes stay away."
"Are those snakes really afraid of that thing?"
Aaron nodded. "This one should be."
"Do you see the snakes clearly?" Jiang Qinling's voice came unexpectedly, and Jiang Yunheng couldn't help but be excited when he looked back and saw him sitting up.
"Brother, are you awake?"
Jiang Qinling held Jiang Yun's outstretched hand. "Hmm!"
Jiang Yunheng held Jiang Qinling with his other hand. "How? Is it uncomfortable? ”
Jiang Qinling shook his head. "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Aaron chimed in again. "Yo, the vitality is tenacious enough."
Jiang Yunheng glanced at Ah Long and turned to Jiang Qinling. "Brother, are you hungry? Do you want to drink water? ”
"Are you hungry, do you have something to eat for him?" Ah Long didn't know how to be interested, so he had to interject the two of them, and Jiang Yunheng's eyes were not good again. "Anyway, I'm also your life-saving benefactor, don't keep looking at me!"
Jiang Yunheng said angrily: "You talk a lot of nonsense." ”
"You can't blame me for that." Aaron posed innocent. "If you're stuck here alone for so long, you'll become just like me."
Jiang Yun choked him: "It's because you're useless that you let yourself be trapped here." ”
Ah Long choked back: "If you have the ability, you can't get out like me." ”
"I ......"
"You can get out." Just when Jiang Yunheng was speechless, Jiang Qinling answered, and the two of them immediately turned their eyes to him as if they had met a savior.
"Do you have a way?"
"How do you get out?"
Jiang Qinling got down from the stone where he was sleeping and asked Ah Long. "Do you see what those snakes look like?"
Aaron recalled carefully. "It's not like a normal snake."
Jiang Qinling asked again: "Is there horns on the head and three tails?" ”
Aaron was surprised. "How do you know?"
Jiang Qinling did not answer Ah Long's question, and directly gave a conclusion. "It's a fat legacy."
Jiang Yunheng asked: "Is it in my mother's pirated copy of the Book of Mountains and Seas again?" ”
"You don't care if it's pirated or not." Smelling hope, Aaron, who has been trapped here for a long time, is more anxious than anyone else. "So what can you do to cure them?"
Jiang Qinling didn't answer and asked Ah Long. "You've seen that thing up there!"
Aaron blinked. "You haven't slept emotionally, listen to my story!"
"Have you ever seen one?"
Aaron admitted. "Yes."
"What does it look like?"
Aaron rolled his eyes. "Well! It's a bit like a dog, and it's a bit like a tiger. ”
Jiang Yunheng was at a loss. "What kind of shape is that?"
Aaron wasn't angry. "Isn't it like a dog and a tiger?"
Jiang Qinling asked again: "When you saw it, did the surrounding birds and beasts automatically stay away?" ”
"How do you know?" Aaron sighed. "It's strange to say, everything on this island even eats meat, including birds, but the ancestor is a vegetarian, I was shocked when I saw it for the first time, thinking that it was dead, but the ancestor was completely as if he didn't see me, and what is even stranger is that other birds and beasts are hiding away when they see it, so the first time I met it, I decided to be friends with it."
Jiang Yunheng muttered. "It doesn't necessarily recognize you as a friend."
Although the voice was small, Aaron still heard it. "How do you know it doesn't recognize?"
"That's supposed to be the edge." Jiang Qinling's words immediately attracted the two to stop arguing.
Ah Long preemptively asked, "What kind of artifact is that?" ”
"The nemesis of poisonous insects and beasts."
Aaron was excited. "Awesome, worthy of being my Aaron's friend."
Jiang Yunheng looked at Ah Long like a fool. "Isn't it your friend! Go talk to him and ask him to do him a favor! ”
Ah Long Bai Jiang Yun glanced sideways. "Then I can't get out!"
Jiang Qinling said: "Even if we go out of this cave, we can't get out of the island." ”
Jiang Yunheng lowered his face. "The ship is sinking."
"We'll make our own." Jiang Qinling turned to Ah Long. "There are vines on this island!"
Aaron nodded. "Yes!"
"Get the skin and bones of the edge first."
