Chapter 65: Another Island
As I imagined, the water in the waterway was at its lowest ebb.
At a distance of several hundred meters, most of them are exposed to the water, and although there are still some sections of seawater, the water is only less than a meter deep, and the water can be completely passed, and there are also exposed stones that can be used as pedals.
He glanced back at the small island where we lived, and then ran quickly towards the big island opposite without hesitation.
I don't want to be in this open field for too long. Even if there are people living in their own company on the opposite island, after such a long time, I will not easily throw out the real situation of our here.
Ten minutes later, I had reached the opposite island. And climbed up the bare island bedrock layer and into the dense jungle.
The area of this island is much larger than the one we are hiding in, and it is also at a high altitude. I took a cursory glance and saw that the highest point of the island was a few tens of meters, and if you looked down from the sky, the island was in the shape of a chicken claw. Several ridges are trampled on the reef, and the ravines between the ridges are overgrown with lush trees,
Compared to this island, our island is like a sandbar with some thatch and small trees.
Soon after I arrived on the island, I found a forest path.
"There are people living here. I looked down at the trampled ground, and I felt a pang of excitement.
But I didn't take it lightly, and leaned down and walked along the path as stealthily as possible, which was strange enough that I had never seen anyone fishing, even though it was inhabited by islanders.
Just as I was walking along the path and halfway up the island, there was a sudden commotion in front of me, as if someone was pulling away a branch from the side of the road and walking down.
I hurriedly ducked behind a large tree and stared at the place where the sound came from.
At this moment, a dark-skinned, clumsy local man appeared in front of me carrying a fish basket. Because it was not yet fully dawn, I could not tell his age, only from his naked upper body that he was a man.
He kept his head down, not noticing that I was hiding behind a tree a few meters away from the roadside.
Looking at him, he wanted to take advantage of the low tide to go to the waterway to pick up some stranded shrimp and crabs.
I was sure there was no one else behind him, so I shouted and stepped out from behind the tree.
"Wow-wow," the native was startled by me, and when he saw my appearance, he suddenly looked extremely excited.
"Hey, do you have anyone else here?" I asked him in limited English.
"Whoa-whoa-whoa-" He didn't speak, but bowed down to me. He seems to be afraid of me, and he seems to be dependent on me.
I wondered why he didn't speak, but when I saw that there was no tongue in his mouth, I was shocked.
He looked like he was in his thirties, his bare spine was covered with white scars, as if he had been whipped out, and his waist was broken, so he walked hunched.
No wonder I didn't see him go to the sea to catch fish, it turned out to be a disabled person.
But how could a disabled person live on such a remote island, and how could he show a sense of déjà vu and be so excited when he saw me?
Could it be that he was exiled here, and I look like a criminal who died in the lake?
He's in league with the criminals, or the criminals made him like this and let him stay here!
I guessed all the possibilities in my heart, but my face quietly pulled him up.
"Take me to where you live. I said to him.
"Uh, hehehe. The mute seemed to understand me, smiled at me flatteringly, and turned to walk deeper into the woods, smiling back at me as he went.
"He can't speak, which is good. At least he wouldn't tell anyone else about me. I thought as I clenched my spear warily and followed him.
The mute took me around the woods for a moment, then stopped and smiled at me. I looked ahead and saw a hut hidden in the woods in front of me.
The house was made of planks and was so large that it looked like it could accommodate at least ten people.
This made me wary. If the mutes had accomplices, they wouldn't have thought of me as someone else. Even if I am confused for a while, after a long time, my speech will reveal flaws.
They knew that I was from that island, and they would probably go to the island to search, so Su Jin and Li Shanshan would be in danger.
I was thinking about how to deal with the situation when a man came out of the wooden house.
When I saw her appearance clearly, I couldn't help but jump in my heart!
