Chapter 69: Mysterious Disappearance

"You think too much." Li Ding got up and said, "The aborigines here are not much different from the aborigines we met before. I think they should disdain to intermarry with our people. Afraid of mixing their own blood."

"It's a week's voyage from the original island. Can you guarantee that their customs are exactly the same?" I stood up and waved: "Get up quickly. Now that we have all come here, we must continue to look for it. If you don't want to go, either go back by yourself or do whatever you like. I don't care."

"Er." Li Ding came up and said, "Brother Fei, there is no trace left. If you want to find them, you have to have a clue. Do you know whether the aborigines live on the volcano or on the other side of the island?"

"It won't be on the volcano." I am sure of this: "Generally speaking, the slopes of volcanoes are steep, and there will be no flat land suitable for building tribes. If it is an active volcano, it is even more dangerous. The top of an extinct volcano is usually a lake, and aborigines cannot live on it. I feel that bypassing the volcano is their tribe. If they live too far away, they won't go to the other end of the island to find food. "

"Then you two go, I'm waiting for you here." Li Ding sat back again.

I ignored the two of them and walked around the bottom of the volcano. Xu glasses followed closely. Not long after walking, Li Ding chased up with wheezing and panting.

After walking for two or three kilometers, a path appeared in our sight. Looking over, we could see a low wall made of stones from among the trees.

I hurriedly called the two of them to squat down and said, "It should be the front. You two stay here. I'll touch it and find out the situation."

The two men nodded their heads at the same time.

I was rather disappointed. I groped to the edge of the stone wall by myself and found that although the stone wall was built irregularly, it was bonded with soil. From this point of view, they had mastered the technology of building the wall. The circumference of the stone wall is about six or seven hundred meters, surrounding an oval tribe. Twenty houses with stone walls and thatched roofs were built inside.

There are only some children and women in the open space of the tribe. The appearance is almost the same as that of the aborigines I met on the island before. They are all brown skin and the color of them looks between yellow and white.

After observing for a while, I was about to return to the original road when my finger slipped down and poked into a small hole. When pulling out your fingers, the surrounding soil whizzed down.

The appearance of a man's skull startled me. When I look at it, it is a pair of eye holes, and the bones around the front frontal bone and nose are also exposed. This made me feel puzzled. I quickly picked up a piece of stone from the ground and shoveled off the soil below. A complete human skull was revealed.

I've never heard of building a human skull into a wall. Is it the funeral method of the aborigines, hoping to let the souls of the dead people protect the tribe? Or did they pile up the bones of the captured prisoners in the wall?

We didn't see any bones in the previous tribe. So these human skulls bring a very strong signal. There may be many tribes on this island, and they often fight. Or the tribe is too primitive and still has the custom of cannibalism.

You know, even in modern times, there are still tribes that eat human flesh in the Pacific island chain. As to whether the people they ate were prisoners or dead people from their own tribes, there has always been controversy. But this is always a very dangerous signal.

After slowly groping back to Li Ding and them, I announced the information I had observed.

Both of them showed some panic.

I also know that I can't expect them to be brave and strong. But since we are a team, you have to do something.

I arranged that, "Now you two go back to the camp by the sea, roast all the dried mutton and bring it here. We have to be prepared for rescue. If you don't eat enough, kill the lamb."

Xu glasses hesitantly persuaded: "Brother Lu Fei, let's go back together first. There are only three of us, and there are no available weapons. We can't save them at all."

"Bullshit." The retreat at this time is tantamount to ruining the lives of three women: "What if they are cannibals? Do you two not want to have women? Now such a good performance opportunity must be missed?"

"Brother Fei, everyone wants women." Li Ding looked embarrassed: "Compared with life, it seems that living is more important."

Xu glasses stretched out his hand and made a gesture of stopping: "Lu Fei, then we have to agree and rescue them. Lucie and Ichiki Harato belong to me and Li Ding. No matter what means we use to get them, you can't stop them any more."

"Yes, as long as you can save people." I readily promised that since they were so shameless, I could not accept it afterwards.

Xu glasses giggled, and took Li Ding away together.

I stayed alone. Although my goal was small, this was the core territory of the aborigines. Maybe I would be discovered. For my own safety, I walked hundreds of meters to the volcano and hid in a groove behind a big tree. After dark, I went back to the stone wall, climbed up a big tree, sat on a branch, and stared at the situation inside.

At this time, all the people in the tribe came out and sat around the open space together, with the appearance of about 70 or 80 people. There is not much cover on everyone. They sat around a big fire with two goats on it. It doesn't look like a cannibal anymore.

After the mutton was roasted, a man with a glistening crown on his head began to divide the mutton. But nobody ate first. Until the division was completed, the man wearing the crown called several people and shouted several times. The people entered a house and escorted three people out. All tied to the stump next to it. Although the distance is far away and it is not very clear, I am sure that the three people are Zhang Yutong and them.

After the three of them were tied to the trunk, no one took a reason. People in the tribe are enjoying the mutton dinner happily. When they had enough to eat, the men and the children left together. The rest of the women gathered around.

Not long after, some people walked away, and the rest of the women pulled out the clothes of the three of them. The woman who left brought the bucket, spilled it directly on them, and then washed it.

It looks like cleaning them up, baking them and eating them. This is an extremely dangerous signal. But one thing I am very relieved about is that the people in the tribe have already filled their stomachs tonight and will not eat them immediately.

After washing, they were untied, wrapped in blankets, and then carried into the previous house.

"Uh-huh..."

After hearing the birds singing, I looked around and didn't find Li Ding and Xu glasses. I had to get off the tree and walk back while imitating the bird's call.

After the meeting, I saw Xu glasses and Li Ding carrying a suitcase.

"Have you brought all the meat?" I'm starving.

Xu glasses nodded: "It's all baked and brought here. Have you observed anything?"

As I told them about the situation, I opened the box and cut down a piece of mutton.

"Cannibalism? It's really a cannibal tribe." Li Ding was startled: "What can I do? I was caught and didn't even have a chance to run for my life."

"It's not you who were caught. What are you doing in such a panic?" I yelled, "A big man, don't always be less daring than a woman."

Li Ding smiled: "Aren't I trying to make changes? As the saying goes, a leopard cannot change its nature. It takes time for me to become brave."

"Well, I already know where they are hiding people. Tonight we will rescue the three of them."

Xu glasses asked: "What are you going to do? You have to think about it this time. If you fail, all six of us will have to become cannibals' food."

I said, "What else can I do? Wait until the middle of the night to sneak into the tribe to save people. We have nothing and few people, so we can't make any plans at all."
