Chapter 43: To make arrows

"You haven’t even cared about your own life, what you only think about is just to save Li Wanxue. Everything is for her. I stayed with you for so long, you never gave me any care even the slightest consideration." She blinked and then two lines of tears flowed down her eyes, and she quickly turned around to wipe the tears.

I was ashamed and felt that I was too selfish when it came to dealing with her.

After a while, she stopped her tears, raised her head and said: "I also know that you must go to deal with that monster. Now everything is nonsense. I will go with you. Since the plane crash, I have long considered myself a person who has died once. There is nothing to be afraid of."

I thought for a while and said, "Yutong, how about it? Although it is very hard to stay in the aboriginal tribe, at least it will not be too dangerous. I will send you back tomorrow, and you will stay with them for a short time which would be a hard time. If I can finally get rid of the human-faced monkey, I will exchange you and Wanxue together. If I have an accident, you will find a way to escape from the aboriginal tribe. Over time, they will definitely relax their vigilance. Then you will have a lot of opportunities to escape"

"I'm not going back." Zhang Yutong stood up, turned and entered the stone house inside.

I scratched my head helplessly. It seemed that dealing with women was much trickier than dealing with human-faced monkeys.

After roasting alone for a while, I went inside. Zhang Yutong was already asleep, so I lay down beside her.

When I woke up in the morning and I found that she was missing.

I quickly grabbed the axe and ran out.

"Brother Lu Fei, what are you doing in such a panic?" Zhang Yutong sat outside calmly, putting her bow and arrow beside her, checking one by one.

I breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought where did you go? Why did you get up so early today?"

"Be prepared." She handed me the bow and arrow in her hand: "I picked out a few and made a small trimming of the few that are not good enough. Brother Lu Fei, I thought of a good way last night. Would you like to listen to me?"

"You can say it directly." I nodded.

She pointed to the arrow of the bow and arrow and said: "You see that they use bones to make the arrow of the bow and arrow. The lethality is very limited. If we use this and the spear to attack the monster, we must not be able to defeat it. We have to go out to look for a big poisonous snake on the island and apply the poison of the snake to the arrow. As a result, the power will be doubled."

"That's a good idea. Then we'll find a poisonous snake in a while." After I took out the cooking tools, I ran out and washed my face.

Within a few days, we won't have to worry about food. I made more than 20 corn tortillas and packed them in a women's backpack for her to carry. I carried my spear and bow and arrow and we went out of the cave together.

After going to the island, we almost never met snakes. We find it is actually as difficult as searching for a human-faced monkey.

It is only a stage. We have reached a certain form of peace with the aborigines, so we can walk around the island unscrupulously.

After entering the woods, we chopped down two tree sticks, and one of them patted around on the ground with one, carefully searching for the poisonous snake. After searching for a long time, I didn't even see the shadow of the snake.

When I stopped to rest, I looked around and decided to search on the mountain on the other side of the highland, where the environment is more complicated and there is more possibility of venomous snakes. Zhang Yutong showed some reluctance, but as soon as I asked her to go back to the cave alone, she immediately showed an attitude of inexhaustible energy.

She took the danger with me so resolutely, and I was very sorry at first. How could I have the heart to make her work so hard? After transferring the bow and arrow to her back, I carried her on my back.

She lay on my shoulder and said, "Brother Lu Fei, you think that if you just rescued Li Wanxue, and then the rescue should come. Will she still be with you when we go back?"

"I have never thought about this problem." I shook my head.

"Then think about it now, you like her so much. If the bamboo basket is empty in the end, can you accept it?" she said.

Zhang Yutong's words meant too much to instigate discord. I stopped and said, "Okay, stop chatting. Talking less can save a lot of effort."

"I know you don’t dare to think about it, because you are afraid that it will happen. Although I don't have much contact with her, I can see from the only exchanges. She has good personal conditions and a good family background. You shouldn’t be angry about what I said. You two are in the wrong kind of situation. I don’t think she will still want to be with you wholeheartedly at that time. More importantly, her family will definitely be oppose you."

I deliberately did not pick up the stubble.

I said a lot, as if to the air, and made her a little angry, and she pinched my shoulder.

After she couldn't move her back, I put her down. I found an open space and started cooking. After eating tortillas and replenishing our strength, we continued on our way to the mountains and forests. The mountains in the middle of the island did not rise up all at once, but from the plains to the hills and then to the mountains. 

After arriving in a valley. I said: "Let's find it here. The valley is cool and dry. Snakes will like this place better."

Zhang Yutong nodded, looking gloomy.

After walking in the valley for a while, I found a black snake lying on the ground slowly crawling.

Zhang Yutong jumped behind me in horror, grabbed my clothes and said, "Brother Lu Fei, take an axe and hack it to death."

The snake's reaction is very agile, how dare I use an axe to cut it directly. I asked her to step back, and slapped the snake on the neck several times with the wooden stick in my hand. What surprised me is that it would not die so easily, it squeezed into the bushes.

I went up and grabbed its tail, lifted it up and threw it to the ground. It would rather shake its head unyieldingly, and Zhang Yutong yelled from the side in fright.

When the snake was placed on the ground, it finally lost its power to bounce, but it was still alive. I stepped my foot to the seven inches of it and finally restrained it.

"I was scared to death." Zhang Yutong clutched her chest and walked up slowly.

I squatted down to check the head of the snake, shook my head and said, "This is not a poisonous snake. It's useless. I can only take it home and eat it."

"How did you know?" she asked blankly.

I explained: "The heads of venomous snakes are triangular and diamond-shaped, and the heads of non-venomous snakes are of this kind, oval-shaped."

She took a closer look and laughed: "It's okay to eat."

After cutting off the head of the snake with the axe, I put the body of the snake in the backpack on her back.

With a sudden swish, a line of colors flashed. Zhang Yutong yelled immediately and flew on her body.

"Brother Lu Fei, snake..."

She was beating and beating on her body. I only saw a piebald snake hanging on her. I hugged her quickly and pulling hard, she yelled again and fell straight to the ground.

I threw the spotted snake and hurried to check her condition. Her face turned pale, and there was a little blood on her chest.

"Whizzing……"

Hearing the movement, I quickly turned my head and saw the piebald snake fierce and fierce, crawling towards us again. I had to throw away Zhang Yutong, so I grabbed the stick and hit it hard on the head. It is much more ferocious than the previous snake. 

He opened his mouth vigorously, revealing a pair of slender fangs in his mouth, and his tail made a swish sound on the ground. He fought desperately with my club.

After it bit the stick, it didn't let go. I stepped on it and then it opened its mouth.

When I caught the snake's head, I was overjoyed because I saw the snake's head in a diamond shape. I squeezed the snake head tightly. It still refused to give in, and the snake's tail wrapped around my arm like a vine.
