Chapter 43: Trouble
I have a small wish that the animal that comes to drink water will be a wild dog or a goat, so that we will have a great lunch.
Come to think of it, as soon as the flamethrower is turned on, the fire is raised, and the leg of the dog and the leg of mutton are fine, I can't help but swallow my saliva secretly, and try to stretch my neck as much as possible, and poke forward to look.
The iron donkey and the old cat didn't make any movements, but the two dwarfs did, and they both carried a small bow and arrow on this trip.
Like the evil king, they held the trunk of the tree between their legs and held the small bow in their hands. After another two or three minutes, two big cats came running under the tree.
This is too far from what I hoped for, and I was told that the smell of cat meat was very fishy, plus how much meat was on these two cats? I suspect that if we really eat this for lunch, we eight gentlemen will not have enough to share.
I'm resistant, and I want to let them go and wait for other animals.
But the Evil Lord took a high interest in them, and quietly gestured to the two dwarfs to make them wait for an opportunity. The two dwarfs were very skilled in hunting.
When the two big cats immediately ran to the blister, the two small bows shot arrows at the same time, and both hit the target.
The two big cats whimpered, turned their heads and ran, but they were both mortally wounded, and before they could run a few steps, they fell to the ground and died.
I was very sensitive to their cries, and what did my heart say? How big a nod, what a big tail tiger!
The Evil King beckoned everyone to come down from the tree and prepare for the meal. I was the least active of our people, and when such a group of people came to the dead cat, the iron donkey saw the clue, and said again, "Yes, there is tiger meat to eat!" ”
I looked at the iron donkey in disbelief, and I had the urge to laugh until I cried, and said that he was stupid? It's a cat!
I would like to emphasize this as well. The old cat looked at me and snorted. The iron donkey was not like the old cat, and pointed to the big cat very seriously and said, "Apprentice, look at the pattern, and then look at the body structure, you can know whether this is a cat or a tiger?" ”
I didn't study tigers, but I did have domestic cats.
I went to say this, and if I looked closely, I didn't say that the pattern of this "cat" was yellowish, and there were black lines around the tail, and their bodies always made people feel clumsier than ordinary domestic cats.
I have some faith in the words of the iron donkey, especially the iron donkey emphasized, "On the ghost island, the situation is reversed." ”
My understanding of this has taken another level, to put it bluntly, the tiger here is no longer the king of beasts, and I don't know how it grows, it is the size of a cat.
The Evil King asked the two dwarfs to pick up the miniature tiger and take us back to the wooden boat. We took the skins of the two little tigers at sea, cut the meat, and ate it separately.
In the past, when I ate shark meat, I could still choose to eat it cooked, but this time the evil lord didn't let us use a fire extinguisher, so I had to bite the bullet and enjoy a bloody lunch.
The iron donkey made a point to tell me that tigers are sacred animals, and many people, including some special police, believe that eating tiger meat will make people stronger.
I didn't believe what he said, especially when he blinked his eyes as he spoke, obviously making up words. But knowing that he was for my own good, gave me the appetite to eat that piece of tiger meat.
I barely managed to fill my lunch, and the Evil King took us out again.
I didn't stop all afternoon, and I found a very interesting thing, after spreading it evenly, each of us didn't eat much tiger meat at noon, but we were really hungry, and before dusk, we didn't mean to be hungry or tired.
When I first came to Onishima, I noticed that there was a skull-like mountain on the island, and now we are very close to it. The meaning of the evil king, we are almost at our destination, and we are going to change course.
I don't know where I'm going, what I'm going to do? But for sure, there is a connection with this Skull Mountain.
We docked on the shore again, and the Evil Lord told us to pack our gear, even the wooden boat. And the wooden boat is too big for one person to carry.
We'll do it in groups of four. The four dwarfs were clever enough to turn the wooden boat over and put it on their heads.
If the four of us do this, it will be easy to make sure that it is safe. The question is, how much pressure is there on the top of the brain? We didn't play tricks, and we lifted the boat up one by one.
We walked a mile and a river appeared in front of us.
The river was not wide, nor was it so narrow, estimated to be four or five meters, and I reached over and reached for a handful of water to taste. Faintly, it means that it is not seawater.
I analyzed that this was an inland river, and the reason why the Evil Lord let us take the wooden boat was obviously going to continue on the river.
But after the boat was put away, the evil king did not rush to set off, saying that everyone would rest and prepare for dinner.
I looked at him with a blank eye, this river is very long, the hoof prints near the river bank are not so obvious, only sparse, we still use the noon method to wait for the rabbit, this has to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?
I thought about fishing again, and although I wasn't sure if there were any big fish in the river, I would find a net and try it.
I was just about to suggest. The evil king pointed to a few trees not far away, and said that these are all plantain trees, and we can just eat them tonight.
I know that bananas are not bananas, and I haven't eaten this thing, but I guess it's all about the same, bananas can have the effect of moistening the intestines, and I total, if I eat bananas and eat all-you-can-eat, I won't have diarrhea this night?
The others didn't have an opinion, and they also packed up and ran to the banana tree. I became an inactive person again, following them.
The two dwarfs who hunted at noon became the masters of climbing trees and picking plantains, and a large number of plantains were swishing down anyway. The others picked up plantain and found an open space to sit and eat.
The evil king was very strange, he was "full" after eating a few, he said that he had reached the sensitive area, let us not make too much noise, and when we were done eating, we would return to the riverbank, and continue to set off at night.
Then he walked back first. I looked around and felt that it was quite harmonious, and I didn't know where the sensitivity was, and I had to continue marching at night, so I didn't understand why.
The plantain I ate was a bit raw, and every time I swallowed it, I felt sick to my stomach. After staying up like this for a while, there was movement in the forest in the distance, and two goats came out.
They are so big that they look like calves. After seeing us, he was a little recognized, and turned his head and ran back.
I was tempted, after all, this is the roast lamb I have been looking forward to for a long time. I would like to mobilize people to abandon plantain and go sheep hunting. But no one approved of me.
Those little dwarfs were quite sensitive, and after standing and looking, Abba Abba said a few times, stopped eating, and beckoned us to hold the unfinished plantains, and we were going back to meet the evil king.
I always felt that they were a little timid. The dwarfs are still gone. The old cat holds the plantain and follows. I stopped the iron donkey.
The iron donkey looked at me very curiously, he misunderstood me, and asked, "What's wrong with the apprentice?" Do you think you took too little plantain with you and can't eat enough? It's okay, look here. ”
He raised his hands. I found that this fat man did not miss a lot of plantains. He also said, "Anyway, I have brought so many plantains, so you can give me some later."
I shook my head and said what was in my heart, "Brother Donkey, the two goats ran away, but they must not have run far, let's rush over and catch them and eat them, right?" ”
The iron donkey had a strange expression, and did not answer, patronizing and dull.
I can't afford to drag it with him, otherwise after a while, if I try to find the goat, I sure I won't even see a shadow.
I urged him. The iron donkey also told me the truth, we must listen to the words of the evil king, he won't let us walk around, we have to take it seriously.
I was almost angry, anyway, the evil monarch was not on the spot, and I also hurt him a few words on his mouth, "The evil monarch's words are not omnipotent, he asked us to set up camp last night, didn't he be attacked by the red-eyed spider?" Let's hunt a sheep this time, it's not a mistake, right? ”
I persuaded a few more words, and the iron donkey moved his mind. He's the kind of person who either doesn't make a decision, and once he does, he becomes very positive.
He skimmed the banana in his hand, and scolded, what a rotten banana! After that, he took the lead in finding the sheep.
I thought we were going to follow the sheep's hoof prints for a while, but I didn't expect to find the two guys after I had just rounded a few trees and burrowed into a bush.
We were still very close to them, whether it was me or the iron donkey, or the two goats, we didn't expect the two sides to meet so unexpectedly, and they wanted to escape.
The iron donkey's rifle was still on his shoulder, and he didn't want to take the gun, so he pounced directly.
In a hurry, the iron donkey pounced on a goat, and the fat man had great strength, and with a twist, he put the goat down. The goat was still kicking its hooves and wanted to run.
I want to be happy to watch, and just by what I did just now, I think the goats here are so stupid. I feel that I understand the meaning of the sentence Qiankun reversal more, and my heart says that in Ghost Island, it is not only the body shape that is reversed, but also the brain!
I don't care if it's stupid or not, I just want the meat to be delicious. I also pounced, helped the iron donkey hold down the sheep, and told him to quickly move the knife and kill it.
The iron donkey touched his waist and suddenly sighed. He also pointed to the goat's neck and said to me, "Apprentice, look! ”
I was stupid this time, thinking that his idea was to capture the goat alive and bring it back, so that we would not have to carry the dead goat?
We didn't have rope with us, but we did have trouser belts, so I quickly got up and untied my trousers, and the iron donkey was stunned.
He asked me again, "What are you going to do?" I replied, "Put on a trap and lead a sheep?" ”
The iron donkey shook his head, and looked around vigilantly, so that I could take a closer look at the goat's neck.
I realized that something was wrong, and I followed his words, and some of the hairs on the goat's neck had collapsed, and it seemed to be ring-shaped. I reacted, and my heart said my mother, this is not wild, someone raises it, could it be that there are still people living on the ghost island?
I don't want to stay long, and I don't think this lamb can be eaten!
I proposed to Iron Donkey, and Iron Donkey had plans to go, but he was a little reluctant. He stared at the goat's milk part, which was swollen and obviously milky.
The iron donkey said to me, "Apprentice, let's not come in vain if we are busy for half a day, we will not delay much time when we get some milk and go back." ”
I asked him, "We didn't bring empty bags, what do we use to pick them up?" ”
What I mean is to persuade the iron donkey to give up this plan, who knows that the iron donkey has a plan again, and made a move that almost killed me.
