Chapter 103: The Boat
The mute would not have been able to speak. Even if he could speak, I wouldn't understand his language.
And if I speak, I will reveal my true identity. So I just stared at him. See what he wants!
The mute stepped over the rocks and approached me, holding my hand and screaming. While shouting, he looked at the island with his eyes, and his eyes were full of anxiety.
I guessed he was complaining to me, so I nodded at him, indicating that I knew how Cui Mingren bullied him.
Who knew that the dumb man would not let go of me, and he screamed and pointed to the boxes, and then to the boat. Then he gestured to the sea outside.
Did he mean to use a small boat to get the boxes away?
What is it in the box that makes the dumb man afraid of this?
Although I don't know his exact identity or the origin and usefulness of the box hidden in this cave, I am probably aware of one fact. The mutes were left by the people of the island to guard this place.
Now Cui Mingren is here. The unfriendly usurped the hut and other resources on the island, so the dumb man was scared, and he wanted to move these really valuable things elsewhere.
If that's really the case. The dumb man is faithful.
But I suddenly thought of another possibility, if you are dumb, don't use your mind. If you want to secretly take a boat to another island, but you pretend to be pitiful when you are bumped into by me, then wouldn't I hurt myself by helping him?
Because I don't know anyone else on the other islands.
"Huh?" thought of it. I shook my head harder. And frowned and pretended to be scary and glared at him.
The dumb man was really scared by me. He retreated again and again, and then suddenly fell to his knees on the ground and began to cry.
He cried very sadly. The rickety's waist trembled unlistened, and he cried and pounded the ground with his hands. Blood was thumping out of his fists. It can be imagined what he hated Cui Mingren and Wu Xiuwen.
I saw that he still mistook me for his accomplice. Know what you should do. Otherwise he would have doubted me.
Thinking of this, I patted him and motioned for him to get up.
Then he pointed to the boat.
The ship was locked, and I wondered if the dumb had a way to open the lock. The wooden boat was too small to carry me to escape, but at least I could use it to sneak to the nearby island at night. Because I have been away from Su Jin and Li Shanshan for three days, although I seem to be very comfortable staying on this island on the surface, in fact, I am thinking about them all the time.
The mute also seemed to understand that I wanted the boat.
He hurried to the place where the boat was bolted, and shouted at me with his chain.
"It turns out that he can't get rid of this iron rope, so he is in a hurry to ask me for help!"
Looking at the iron ropes welded from finger-thick steel bars and the big locks with big fists, I also felt embarrassed. Even if I had a sledgehammer, I wouldn't be able to break such a thick chain!
But I quickly turned my attention to the boat.
The other end of the rope was tied to the keel with the bow upturned from the keel, and if the iron bolt on the keel could be dug up and removed, the ship could be driven away. But in that case, the boat will lose its cable and will drift with the current, carried away by the waves at any time.
"No! It's not the time yet. I pretended to be stern and glared at him, then shook my spear and looked extremely confident, meaning that he was a coward, and that I was in charge of everything!
The mute looked at me timidly. Finally bowed his head in fear.
I was afraid that after staying here for a long time, Cui Mingren would find out that I was not in the tent again, so I decided to leave here first. So I tugged at the mute by the collar and motioned for him to go out with me.
The mute understood what I meant, and pitifully followed me, wading out of the cave.
