Chapter 33: Children of the Sea
Yun Rui smiled slightly, and said unceremoniously: "If it works, you four women, except for the eldest sister, it doesn't matter who sends it out." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"You..." Zong Min couldn't imagine that Yun Rui didn't say anything at all, he was stunned for a moment, and swallowed back a sentence. Yun Miaoge snorted coldly, but Mu Qingmei was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard it.
"Okay, don't talk about children," Yun Miaoyin hurriedly said, "Let's think about how to stay on the island." ”
"You see, on the hillside not far from the beach, there are a few natives looking at us, and we can't hide from their eyes even if we stay on the beach. It won't be long before they come and attack us with weapons. Yun Rui said helplessly, it is impossible to sneak around and find a place to settle under the nose of the other party.
"What should I do then? swagger up and say that a guest has arrived?" Li Ke said.
"So, let's go to the beach first, and then you wait for me where you are, and I'll go into the village alone to see if they're hostile to outsiders. If not, we'll find a place to stay in a dry place. If there is hostility towards outsiders, then I will come back at once, and we will not go ashore. Just stop the motorboat in shallow water, even if the boat capsizes."
"No, Ruidi, it's too dangerous, they're from a big village..."
"Eldest sister, it's the most appropriate way for me to go now, and this is also the safest way. In short, no matter how fierce they are, I still have no problem escaping. Yun Rui interrupted Yun Miaoyin's words.
"In that case, I will go with you, Brother Yun, and I will also take care of it. Li saw that Yunrui was going to take risks alone, and he was a little ashamed, so he hurriedly said.
"Brother Li, it's still the old rules. There are two of us, and only one can walk away and one stay. That's it. "Yun Rui didn't want Li Ke to follow, in case the gunshots hurt people, they wouldn't even be able to stay in the shallow water.
A few people parked the motorboat in the shallow water, quietly watched Yunrui go to the beach alone, carrying the coral bush, and walked calmly towards the indigenous village.
Looking at Yun Rui's lonely back, I don't know when, a mist unconsciously rose in Mu Qingmei's eyes.
The two natives on the hillside not far away had obviously seen these uninvited guests wading into the sea, holding spears and looking at the beach with a wary face. Then I saw a young man approaching, and the two Gini muttered a few words, and one of them quickly turned and ran into the woods.
Yun Rui knew that the man must have gone to inform the clansmen, so he didn't care, he tried his best to walk in front of the remaining natives with a kind smile, ignored the spearhead raised by the other party, put down the coral and said: "We are passing seafarers, it is dark, and we want to spend the night on the beach, so we came to say hello to you." He knew that it was impossible for the dark-faced and nervous-looking native in front of him to understand his words, so he gestured as he spoke.
The native man's expression changed, and he didn't know if he understood what Yun Rui meant. But at this time, when he noticed the coral bushes under Yun Rui's feet, his eyes immediately widened, and he looked incredulous, as if he had suddenly been petrified, and even put down his spear.
Yun Rui laughed in his heart and said, "This is what we gave you as a gift." After another comparison, the native was not too stupid, and finally understood what the other party meant, and immediately smiled, showing his teeth, but his eyes glanced at the coral bushes from time to time, and he also touched his chest, and his mouth couldn't stop chattering.
Suddenly, there was a shout, and a large group of people came out of the woods, all of them were fierce native men with spears in their hands, and an old man at the head was strong, with several long feathers on his head, and he was very powerful between his shouts, and seemed to be their leader. When the natives saw it, they hurriedly ran to the old native, muttering a lot of words, while pointing at Yunrui and the coral on the ground.
The leader of the indigenous people looked at Yun Rui with unkind eyes, and then saw the huge coral bush, and also showed a surprised and happy appearance, and his originally fierce and ugly face became kind.
Yun Rui picked up the coral bush and sent it to the indigenous leader, and said with a smile, "Give it to you." ”
The leader obviously knew what he meant, half guarded and half excited, held the coral bush with both hands, carefully sent it to the present to look at and lick, suddenly laughed, and said a few words to Yunrui, looking very enthusiastic.
Yun Ruiyun was in a fog, and he didn't know what the other party meant, but he didn't care about this, since the other party accepted the gift, it is estimated that it will not be difficult for them to be uninvited guests, and it should be no problem to spend the night on the beach. So he bowed slightly, turned around and prepared to walk away.
The leader stopped him, and kept gesturing hand to foot, one of the actions of drinking and eating made Yunrui finally understand that the other party was going to invite him to be a guest.
Yunrui immediately felt embarrassed, it seemed that such a large coral shocked the other party a lot, and it was estimated that he regarded it as a treasure that he had never seen before, so he gave such a valuable gift, and the other party was grateful and invited himself to be a guest.
Of course, this is not malicious, but it is not a joke to go to the native's nest recklessly, and the language barrier is secondary, who knows if there will be twists and turns, in case you go in and commit the other party's taboo and annoy the other party is not a joke. Although he was not afraid, after all, this was someone else's territory, and there were many people, and he still had a few women with him.
Yun Rui shook his head and waved his hand again, seeing that he refused, sure enough, the leader's face was a tiger, and he looked very unhappy, as if Yun Rui's refusal swept his face. The surrounding natives also sank their faces. Yunrui is helpless, these people are simple-minded and unreasonable, and it is very troublesome once they are annoyed. I had to smile wryly and nod in agreement. When the other party saw Yun Rui nodding, he laughed again, and immediately instructed everyone to hug Yun Rui as a VIP.
On the beach not far away, Li Ke and the others watched this scene nervously, and finally saw Yun Rui follow the group of natives into the dense forest.
Yun Miaoyin said worriedly: "Yun Rui and they went in, it will be fine, right?"
Li Ke comforted: "It should be fine, it seems that the local people like that coral very much, reach out and don't hit the smiling person, it's a dog, you throw it to the bone, it will wag its tail and not bite." Although he said this, he did not have the bottom of his own heart.
"Poor Yunrui, don't be eaten by these barbarians. Zong Min said alarmistly. Mu Qingmei looked at Lin Zi silently and did not speak.
Yun Rui followed this group of natives for a while, and saw dense tree houses, high and low scattered together, the middle one is much taller than the surrounding one, and the roof is decorated with a lot of flowers and plants, it seems that it should be the residence of the tribal chief, I don't know if it is the old natives in front.
After a while, many people kept pouring out of the house, and finally there were thousands of people, men, women, and children gathered around to look at Yunrui as if they were looking at Yunrui, but more people were looking at the coral in the hands of the old natives, and they all looked shocked.
The old man stood on a mound and commanded the people around him, as if he were giving orders, and it seemed that he was indeed the chief of the tribe. Everyone listened very respectfully, and at the same time, they frequently looked at Yun Rui, looking very envious. Soon, more than a dozen stout men obeyed the order and left, not knowing what they were doing.
Yun Rui was led into the tall room in the middle by the leader with a casual attitude, saying that it was tall but not more than two feet high, but it was very open and "luxurious" inside, with colorful patterns carved everywhere on the surrounding walls, decorations such as feathers and fish bones, and there were many low stake-like things on the ground, like chairs, which were neatly arranged in several rows.
In particular, Yun Rui paid attention to the fact that there was a tall stone platform inside, on which a shrine-like thing was built, and a stone statue was enshrined in it, this stone statue had a high nose and deep eyes, and it looked very majestic, and there was a long-handled three-pronged weapon in his hand, there was not much strangeness, but Yun Rui's eyes were like a torch, and he could see at a glance that this stone statue was heavily pulped, full of vicissitudes, and it should be very old, at least thousands of years old.
This must be the god they believe in, there is no doubt that such a primitive aborigine does not have a totem, that is really strange, originally thought that they should believe in some birds, animals and even fish and insects and other animals, but I didn't expect it to be a human figure.
Seeing Yun Rui staring at the stone statue seriously, the leader seemed even happier, I don't know if he thought that Yun Rui also respected their god.
The leader carefully placed the coral bush on the altar in front of the shrine, and then pulled Yunrui to sit down on the stump, and shouted a few more times, and immediately several indigenous men came in, all of whom were relatively old, and they were probably the leaders of the tribe, so they were called in to accompany the guests. A few people first watched the coral happily, and then smiled at Yun Ruimei, babbling in their mouths.
The two sides could only laugh at each other, and it seemed that smiles were indeed the common language of mankind. Yunrui now has a feeling of absurdity, and just wants to get out of the way immediately. But who knows if the other party will turn his face immediately, with his current cultivation, on this small island, he can't fall out with a tribe at all.
After a while, a group of women in straw skirts came in, each carrying a clay pot, and put them in front of Yunrui and the others one by one. Yun Rui couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he looked at their naked bodies, so he had to lower his eyes, but saw that the crockpot was filled with a turbid liquid, pale yellow in color, and it also exuded a fermentation-like urn gas, as if it was a kind of fruit wine, I don't know what it was made of.
The natives motioned for Yunrui to pick up the clay pot, and then drank it one after another, as if they were drinking the elixir and jade liquid, and they were enjoying it very much. Yun Rui looked at the fruit wine and felt very suspicious, how dare he drink it rashly? Who knows if this wine is clean or not, is there anything strange?
However, he didn't "know how to lift" on the surface, pretending to lift the crockpot and make it look like he took a sip. Fortunately, this crockpot is so deep that others can't tell if he has drunk it.
The chief sat in the middle, drinking and looking back at the coral as if he never got tired of looking at it, with a smug look on his face, and from time to time he smiled and raised the crockpot to Yunrui to show his friendliness.
