Chapter 35: Taking Risks with Your Body

Back in the cave, I quickly found something wrong. The things in the room obviously showed signs of being moved, but none of them were taken away.

After checking it carefully, I became even more sure.

"Brother Lu Fei, it seems that someone has touched our things?" Zhang Yutong said when she took out her clothes.

I nodded: "You can see it too. But they didn't take our things."

"Could the aborigines find this place?" she asked.

"It’s impossible. If the aborigines find this place, they will definitely take our things away. And they will lie here waiting for us to come back and we will be arrested." I'm sure it won't be aborigines.

"Then besides them, are there anyone else on this island?" Her eyes were full of questions.

I can't answer her question, no matter who has been there, he should take away some useful things. But the man who left as if he had come for sightseeing.

I can't think of an answer, and I didn’t bother to think about it. I urged her to cook quickly after changing her clothes. We have other matters in the afternoon.

After eating and resting for a while. We together rowed a canoe from the river into the sea, gathering dry wood on an open beach, the pile was as high as a hill.

After the firewood was ready, I went deep into the woods and dug some dirt out. We will use them at night.

For the night's action, after finishing our work, we lay down on the edge of a bush not far from the firewood. When I woke up, the moon rose so high.

I rubbed my face and quickly woke Zhang Yutong up.

For the rescue plan at night, I selected some flammable hay and branches from the firewood pile and tied them with rattan. After the fire was up, we rowed a canoe back to the entrance of the cave together.

I used charcoal accumulated over several days to make barbecued meat and eat it. Then the excavated soil was made into a round cake, and all the charcoal that had not burned up was put on it, and the soil round cake was wrapped into a round ball. In the case of sealing, the burning rate of charcoal will slow down.

After the preparations were in place, I asked her to carry a small bundle of dry wood on her back. I held the mud ball and we headed for the high ground together. Estimated from time, the aborigines who went to check the fire should have already set off.

The facts have proved that I still overestimated their speed. On the way from the edge of the cliff to the high ground, we saw a fire dragon rushing through the woods.

I squatted down with Zhang Yutong and waited for them to go far before moving on.

Zhang Yutong was a little frightened, and took my hand tightly and said, "Brother Lu Fei, it's dangerous. If we run into them, we will be arrested and become slaves."

"No, we will definitely be able to rescue them tonight." I deliberately encouraged.

After climbing up the high ground, we had to stop and rest for a few minutes.

This time we made full preparations and fumbled directly to the fence wall behind a wooden house.

I whispered, "Let’s be a lot quicker, we will light the firewood and throw it on their house. After the house is on fire, they will definitely come to try to put off the fire. When the time comes, there will be a mess, and our people will be more likely to escape. As soon as we reach them, we will leave as soon as possible."

Zhang Yutong nodded and took the firewood from her back. After breaking the mud ball, I divided the firewood into two parts. We took a handful of charcoal in the mud ball and ignited it, and threw it on top of two adjacent wooden houses.

When we retreated into the woods, there was a fire on both houses. Their houses look very old, and they are all made of wood. After a while, a raging fire will ignite.

When we arrived at the corn grove that we had agreed with the spectacle man, the flames ignited the third house. At the same time, the people in the room also ran out and shouted. Soon everyone ran out to fight with the fire. All panic became a piece.

Zhang Yutong happily hit my arm: "Brother Lu Fei, I think I like you more and more."

I laughed: "I didn't expect me to be so smart."

She hummed.

After a long time, I finally saw a few people running towards us. Although there is moonlight, it is relatively dim after all, and it is impossible to tell which one they are.

When they ran halfway, the sharp-eyed aborigines found out that they were trying to escape. A dozen people rushed over immediately.

The scared people fled in different directions in a panic. The rescue plan was suddenly disrupted.

I was also a little panicked now. I got up and pulled Zhang Yutong to turn around and ran.

As soon as I entered the woods, I heard someone calling me and Zhang Yutong's name, and looked back. It was a woman who ran after us. There were also three people chasing after her.

We hurriedly squeezed the bow and set the arrow, Zhang Yutong's arrow was good, and she shot one down. Seeing all the slaves ran away, more aborigines gave up fighting with the fire and split up to pursue them.

The woman chasing us fell to the ground and shouted a word in Japanese. Seeing that the person chasing her was very close. We had to give up the rescue and ran down the mountain.

The aborigines are much more agile than us. A guy rushed out from the front and stopped Zhang Yutong and me.

Seeing that he was only holding a spear in his hand, Zhang Yutong and I let out arrows together, but he avoided it. He roared towards us. I quickly replaced the bow and arrow in my hand with an axe and rushed up.

He stabbed up with a spear and drew it across my arm, and my axe fell on his shoulder. He let out a sorrowful roar and moved back several steps.

"Oh oh oh..."

Seeing other aborigines gathered, we didn't dare to continue the war and quickly run to flee.

Those guys were eagerly chasing us, and when we were about to descend to the edge of the cliff, five or six people were already chasing us up. We have no time to escape.

I took the bow and arrow in my hand and stood in front of Zhang Yutong and said, "You hurry down and I will block them."

"What about you?" Zhang Yutong gasped and asked.

"Leave me alone." I said, "We can run away now. One is one."

"Brother Lu Fei, I'm not going." She also changed into a bow and arrow, one arrow went out but missed.

Five or six aborigines are less than 100 meters away from us. I have no time to persuade her at this time. We two had to fight them with bows and arrows.

Several bows and arrows went out, but only one shot. The other four or five people rushed up shouting. Seeing that it is about to meet in hand. I don't know what happened, a few bows and arrows flew out from behind, bringing down the aborigines one by one.

The other aborigines are still far away from us, but shouts can be heard everywhere.

Zhang Yutong and I looked at each other, completely confused about what was going on. But at this time there is no time for us to analyze it. We quickly ran to the edge of the cliff on the high ground. But not a few steps away, Zhang Yutong fell down.

I quickly closed my feet and looked around. Suddenly, I felt a numb sensation on my back, and I fell on the ground.

When I woke up, I saw that I was already lying in the cave. Light came in from outside. Except for some dizziness, there is no other discomfort. Turning around, I saw Zhang Yutong lying next to me who were still in a coma.

I patted her on the cheek, but there was no response.

"Yutong, wake up." I sniffed, breathing very evenly.

After squeezing her philtrum hard, she blinked and woke up leisurely.

She dodged back in horror, hitting her elbow against the wall, making a faint sound of pain.

I pulled her up and said, "Don't be afraid, we are all fine, we are back in the cave."

She looked around for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Brother Lu Fei, did you carry me back?"

I shook my head: "No, after you passed out, I also passed out. I don't know how we came back."

She frowned and turned around: "Hurry up and look at my back."
