Chapter 39: The Prey in the Trap
There are always fireworks rising on that island in the distance, which also makes me feel that something is pressing on me, and I dare not relax.
Luckily, I spent half a day exploring the island where we were and found no danger, which reassured me a little.
In my experience, the tide doesn't come until half a month later.
During this time, I can rest assured on the island and wait for things to turn around.
In the evening, because of the candles, it really made Su Jin and Li Shanshan excited for a while. I was afraid that the pine resin would be deformed by heat and cause a fire, so I dug up a coconut fruit and put the candle in the coconut shell, so that it could not only prevent fire, but also not attract the attention of others because of the flames.
"It's so good. "Li Shanshan has long forgotten about me taking her precious stockings for nutmeg. Holding his face and looking at the coconut lamp, he said.
"Hmm. This smell is so good, with the fragrance of coconut and the smell of resin, refreshing!" Su Jin also sniffed and glanced at me happily.
"Mr. Su, Shanshan, go to bed early. There won't be anything going on in the evening. I said as I blew out the candle.
After all, we don't have anything important to do, so we don't need to waste candles.
The stockings with the nutmeg crumbs hung at the mouth of the cave, and the mosquitoes smelled the smell and stopped coming in. And because of the psychological anti-relaxation, I slept very sweetly this night.
The next morning, Su Jin said that she heard the sound of goats wandering in our cave again. It's just that she knew it was a goat, so she wasn't afraid.
I listened closely, and I seemed to hear the bleating of goats.
"This goat is also strange, why does it always run here at night?" I wondered, but I couldn't understand it.
Yesterday we ate almost all the seafood we caught in the morning. I'll have to get some today, or I'll be hungry. So I got up, took off my stockings and basket with nutmeg, and prepared to go to the headland.
"I'll go with you!"
"I'll go with you, too. "Su Jin and Li Shanshan also got up and prepared to go fishing with me.
As we descended to the cave, the goat's cry became clearer and clearer, and it seemed to be near us.
"Brother Haidong, I don't want to eat fish, I want to eat mutton, you said, please eat mutton hot pot!" As soon as Li Shanshan heard the sheep's call, the gluttonous worms hooked up again.
"Shanshan. Su Jin glanced at Li Shanshan with disgust and stopped her from instigating me to catch the goat.
"Brother Haidong, look, it's there!" Li Shanshan pointed her hand and shouted excitedly.
I looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, I saw the goat, with its snow-white head peeking out of a clump of trees, staring at us with frightened eyes.
"It's caught in a trap!" I threw down the basket and rushed over.
"Haidong, don't hurt it!" Su Jin hurriedly jumped behind me.
Next to a trap a dozen meters away from the cave, the goat was caught in a lasso on one of its hind legs, trying to break free. When he saw us coming, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and his hind leg was hung high, and his posture was particularly awkward.
"Hot pot, kebabs! I want to eat!" Li Shanshan's eyes widened when she saw it.
"Let it go. We're not short of food right now. I glanced at Su Jin, pulled out the shark knife, and cut the rope hanging from the goat's leg. The goat got up at once and ran deeper into the woods.
"Hmph!" Li Shanshan saw that I had let go, pouted and crossed her waist and grimaced at me. However, Su Jin looked relieved and looked at me with relief.
