Chapter Twenty-Eight: Thursday

With Ye Guangji's physical fitness, it won't take a day to explore the entire island. The reason why Rousson is always allowed to go out is just to let the other party have something to do. Time is a terrible thing, and a single repetition can drive anyone crazy.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

Ye Guangji kept wielding the ugly hammer in his hand, smashing it rhythmically on the reddened iron bar. The two have been living on the island for more than a year, the second round of wheat has been tasseled, and the young livestock has grown up to give birth. Most of the iron objects found on the ship have become damaged and rusted under the humid air of the island and the use of the island for a year. There was an urgent need to forge two sickles to harvest the wheat that was about to ripen.

Rousson pulled the bellows hard, burning the coals to a bright red. "With this scythe, we have officially entered the Iron Age!"

The cultivation of Linfeng Spectrum was not satisfactory, and after months of study, Ye Guangji was unable to take that step. Don't look at it as a green-level skill, but it's even more difficult than the blue-level arm record.

The Arm Record, No Hidden Record, Interpretation consists of dozens of techniques in the upper and lower articles, which can be learned in turn. The Linfeng spectrum is not low in the green grade, and it is only this step, so it is very difficult. The footwork (support skills) he activates are not of high level and do not provide much assistance.

"呲~"

The sickle is forged several times and quenched in cold water. The blade is sharpened on a flat slate and the sharpness and hardness are tested with a wooden stick. "Hmmm! In such a humble environment, it is good to be able to achieve this level! Let's continue while the feeling is still there. ”

The sound of striking iron, which had been interrupted for a short time, sounded here again. While the two of them were busy building tools, eight short, dark-skinned humans, escorting an even redder-skinned human, boarded a few primitive canoes and set off from the edge of the land, heading towards the small black dots that could barely be seen on the surface.

Rousson also had the habit of keeping a diary when he was on the ship, saying that he would write down the story and share it with his lover Mary. When he's not working, he likes to go around the shore to pick up seafood, and keep an eye out for passing boats. The sea is not like land, and having a map does not prevent ships from deviating from their course.

"Columbus! Columbus! Come out! Columbus!! With a telescope, Lu Xun ran quickly to his residence, constantly calling out Ye Guangji's pseudonym.

"What's wrong?" Ye Guangji had no choice but to stop the cultivation of the Holy Fetus Xiao Zhoutian, and asked impatiently.

There was no progress in the Linfeng spectrum, so I had to give up for the time being. The frizz of Rousson had appeared once before, when a large schooner passed along the line where the sea met the sky. The two burned a lot of firewood, and the thick smoke rose without attracting the other's attention.

"Give it up! The area is full of reefs, and ships will deliberately avoid this area. When I learned about shipbuilding, I tried my luck on the nearby sea. ”

Lu Xun's desire to return home was very strong, and Ye Guangji was annoyed. Honestly wait for 28 years, 2 months and 19 days, isn't it?

"I'm not passing by, I'm coming to the island!"

He found that the other party was not happy to get what he wanted, but with a sorrow that could not be removed. I couldn't help asking, "How far is it from here, how big is the ship, and what are the chances that it will be a pirate." ”

Seeing that the other party would be mistaken, he hurriedly explained. "It's a lot of canoes, and it's still a long way to go, and it's estimated that it will be an hour before it lands. The people on it are all black and red, and they look a little like the goods you are selling. ”

Ye Guangji couldn't help but think of the cannibals that appeared in the introduction. "I thought it was those two groups of orangutans, but it seems that I am different!" After thinking for a moment, he decided: "Bring the fire copper and the machete, let's go and have a look." These are most likely indigenous, and they are very xenophobic towards outsiders. ”

The two men came to the shore with their weapons and hid in several huge reefs, observing the natives. The natives did not land where they were, and the landing position was closer to the other side of the island, perfect to avoid the residence of Ye Guangji and the others.

There were nine natives, and one of them was stripped naked like a dead pig and washed in the sea, and his red-black skin grew redder and redder as the dirt fell. The man tried to resist and escape, and was beaten up by several men and honestly recovered. His hands and feet were tied to sticks, and he was hung upside down and carried on his shoulders.

The natives shouted strange cries and carried their captives to the top of the mountain. The two followed from afar in the woods, trying to see what they were going to do.

"Be careful! The natives are generally good at spear throwing, and they are likely to be cannibals in this situation! Ye Guangji lowered his voice and warned the eager Lu Xun, I don't know why the other party is very persistent in slaves, maybe this is the characteristic of this era!

In order to hunt prey, the natives will basically quench their weapons. Although Ye Guangji is powerful, if he is accidentally injured, he will be very troublesome in this situation without medicine. If Rousson were wounded to the point of almost death, his advanced mission would not be completed.

"When they let their guard down and reduce it to a minimum, they will all be arrested and used as slaves. With these slaves, you can have more land! ”

They did not lack land or seeds, but the main thing was that they lacked manpower. In this place where there are no pesticides, to ensure the yield of crops, we need to do weeding manually. When the wheat seedlings are young, the tame pheasants can be raised to catch insects, and when it comes to heading, people are still needed.

"Good! Then you will be able to eat more staple foods! Russon's eyes lit up, as if he had smelled the bread. The two of them had a big meal of fish and meat on the island, and the usually inconspicuous staple food has become a rare thing.

Several natives gather spices and fruits on the roadside to reach the potholes at the top of the mountain. There were natives who collected firewood, and there were natives who mashed spices and fruits, pickled them and held captives on the stove pits. The captives seemed to know what they were about to face, and struggled desperately to resist. A piece of wild pineapple was stuffed in his mouth, and he whined.

Witnessing all this, Ye Guangji sighed in his heart. "These indigenous civilizations are not low! The natives were sturdy, with patterns and bone ornaments resembling earrings on their faces, and the means of making food were not crude, and the clothes they wore were special clothing, not simple animal skins. These are signs that this group of natives is not short of food and has reached the point where they find it delicious. ”

"Do you want to do it? They're going to make a fire, and burning a slave to death will do a lot less work. Lu Xun couldn't bear to lose his wealth in vain, so he couldn't help but urge.

He had already thought about it. "I'll sneak over and send a signal first, you hide and shoot to attract attention, I'll subdue them all and then come out."

"Hmm!" Ruson is a big believer in his strength. Even if this group of natives is overwhelming, it is absolutely impossible for them to be Ye Guangji's opponent.

Relying on the blessing of stealth skills and his vigorous body, he shuttles between the low bushes at the top of the mountain. When he was close enough to a few natives, while a few people were concentrating on the fire and not paying attention, he stretched out his hand and gestured to the side for thirty.

"Bang~"

A gunshot attracted the attention of all the natives, Ye Guangji dodged out and put down one of them, and the natives were powerless to fight back. The knife struck the natives in the neck, causing them to temporarily unconscious.

Pretend to kill one by mistake and discover that none of these people are the target of soul collection. I couldn't help but look at the captive natives on the earthen stove, and after thinking for a while, I decided that for the sake of the stability of the advanced mission, I couldn't change the plot drastically.

Russon rushed out in high spirits, twisted the pliable thatch into a straw rope, and tied the slave's hands together. The only native present who was still awake was the captive who was the ingredient. He spat out the pineapple from his mouth, and Gili Gueva said something.

"Help! Help me! Please save me! ”

The indigenous language is used among the natives, and Ye Guangji can naturally understand it if he has language skills, but he pretends not to move and gestures with his hands.

"What is he talking about?" After dealing with the other natives, Lu Xun watched Ye Guangji communicate with the captive natives.

"I don't know, the indigenous populations are all separate language systems, and the indigenous languages that I know don't apply. Maybe he wants us to let him go! We can make him an overseer and help us command these natives. ”

Russon stepped forward to untie the captive natives. The captive natives did not fight back or run away, but knelt directly on the ground, constantly kowtowing to Ye Guangji, and even wanted to reach out to get close to his right foot. Ye Guangji kicked his red hand away and stretched out his hand to point at Lu Xun.

The captive understood what he meant, knelt in front of Russon and kowtowed, and carried his right leg to his shoulder. "What does he mean by that?"

"Hmmm! Recognizing you as a leader or master should be their custom to submit to the strong. ”

"Haha! This savage is quite sensible, today is Thursday, so you can call it Thursday! ”

Thursday saw that his master was really happy, and threw himself on the corpse, tossed his chest with the bone blade beside the corpse, and took the best food to offer to Russon.

"Get out! Stay away from me, you can't eat! ”

Thursday is also an indigenous and cannibal, and is accustomed to eating these foods, and under the roar of Russon, Thursday is unwilling to put down the food.

Wake up the natives on the ground and bring them back to their residences, Lu Xun leads the way at the front of the team, Thursday and the natives are in the middle, and Ye Guangji is in the final formation to prevent the natives from escaping. After arriving at the residence, the natives interacted with each other and marveled at the large farmland.

"Hmmm! It has developed to slash-and-burn farming, but it is not yet intensively cultivated? "Ye Guangji analyzed the strength of the cannibal tribe on the other side of the land from the dialogue between the natives.

Rousson was a natural slave owner, and he tamed the natives into obedience by force. Commanding them to cut down trees to build houses, the natives were strong and built quickly, and the rudimentary shacks were built before dark. These natives were all dealt with by Russon, and he returned to the house to practice the Holy Fetus Xiao Zhoutian.

"Ahh Help, someone is going to run away! ”

"What's going on? It's like Thursday's voice! ”

The two of them, who had not been asleep for a short time, were woken up by a howl in the middle of the night on Thursday. He hurriedly dressed and entered the hut where the natives were located, with an oil lamp. Thursday's native, who held one hand to break free from the noose, kept shouting to attract the attention of the two.

"Let's reinforce it with straw rope first! Tomorrow the furnace will be opened to forge shackles. ”
