Chapter 71: Aboriginal Sacrifices

When my eyes fell on the skins, I immediately had an idea. "You stay here and I'll get some rattan," he said.

"Lu Fei, can you not leave here? These mummies are too scary." Lucy glanced at the mummy on the cave wall in horror and immediately covered her eyes.

"What's the dead to be afraid of? You three are together." I don't know why I don't feel scared anymore.

After running to the woods, cut down the rattan, return to the cave, cut the skins into several pieces, then poke holes in it with the sharp corners of the axe, and insert the rattan.

Finishing that, I wiped my sweat and said, "The short one covers the upper body and the long one covers the lower body. Please hurry up."

Then I ran out of the cave. Outside is a wide platform of more than 20 square meters, and the area inside the cave is also 30 to 40 square meters. If it weren't for so many mummies, it would definitely be a good place to live.

After the three of them ran out in simple clothes made of animal skins, I went in and took out the rest of the rattan and animal skins, tied them into a ball and threw them out far away. We can't leave any suspicious signs in the cave, so that the aborigines will know that they have escaped, and then they will definitely search around the island.

Looking at the three of them, I clapped my hands and said, "Let's go."

Without saying a word, six aborigines jumped down from above, each with a spear in his hand and a bow and arrow on his back. They were wearing simple clothes made of linen and had three lines on their face smeared with red, black and white pigments.

Three women quickly got together with me. I pulled out the Y-shaped spear on my back and handed it to Zhang Yutong, holding an axe in my hand. Of the six people, four are women.

Several aborigines are very cautious about us, shouting every step closer. We yelled at them, too.

After besieging us tightly, they didn't take any further measures, but sent two people into the cave. After searching, she came back with nothing.

After staring at us for quite a while, a woman in her thirties called others to put down their spears and she came up and talked to us.

But we didn't understand a word, which made them very passive.

"Lu Fei, what do they want to do? They won't want to take the three of us away again, will they?" Lu Xi was about to cry.

"It seems not. They seem to know that cannibals will come to sacrifice today, as if to steal their sacrifices." I don't think these aborigines are bad.

"Aren't the three of us sacrificial offerings?" Lu Xi said.

"Brother Lu Fei, there are only six of them. Why don't we fight with them?" Zhang Yutong said boldly.

"Don't move." I pulled her hand.

Seeing that the aborigines did not take any further measures, I put away my axe, walked up to the woman, smiled and bowed.

She frowned, turned back to communicate with others, put her hand on her chest, and bowed to me.

Then I was very embarrassed, because I really couldn't communicate. The only good thing is that they are not hostile to us.

Embarrassed for a while, the woman pointed to Zhang Yutong and the three of them, and then pointed to the cave. After I nodded, she showed some sympathy.

She called her own people behind her and waved at us.

If we run away now, it is obviously not a good way. But in the face of their invitation, we did not dare to rashly agree. After all, who knows whether their tribe has slaves or not?

Seeing that we were unmoved, the woman stepped up and took my hand and put it on her chest, and put her own hand on my chest. And nodded.

I was so soft that I can't bear to move my hand. Seeing her sincerity, I turned to the three women and said, "Why don't we go to them first?"

The three women looked at me eagerly and saw that they had no objection. I made a please gesture to the woman. When they left, they divided into two groups and sandwiched the four of us in the middle.

After falling off the volcano, I walked several kilometers forward. A thick tree came into sight, each of which was at least as thick as a bucket, and this kind of tree could not be seen at all on this side of the volcano, and the height could not see the top of the tree.

After walking under a big tree, the woman looked up and whistled, and soon a rattan ladder was lowered from the tree.

After her examination, she took the lead in lying down and waved at me.

Rattan ladders, whether vines or ladder wood, are very slender, and they can't bear it in any way. I waved her to keep climbing.

She smiled and went up quickly. In the blink of an eye, she was more than ten meters away from the ground. As agile as a monkey. Stop and wave at me again.

After I stepped on it carefully, I found that the rattan ladder was very strong, but it was too swaying. If you are not skilled, you can't move on it. Fortunately, we have already had training in this field on the previous island.

Seeing me go up, several other aborigines whistled at it, and several rattan ladders swished down. Three women also began to climb under their protection.

Through layers of dense branches like clouds, I was surprised to find that there was a cave on it after reaching the top. There are wooden bridges between trees. On each big tree, there are two or three wooden houses of different sizes, which are connected with each other by wooden ladders. Below are layers of dense leaves. I don't know how high I am from the ground. It's like a scene in a fairy tale world.

After stepping on the wooden ladder, she took the rattan ladder up and hung it on the branch. Then she led me across several tree bridges into the biggest wooden house. There are about fifteen square meters in it, and the furnishings are very simple. There are two skylights on the roof.

People living in trees are not only the first time to see, but also the first time to hear.

After others came one after another, someone brought us fruits and some wild sweet potatoes.

"Lu Fei brother, why do they live in a tree? It feels fun." Zhang Yutong is full of curiosity. Her previous adventures seem to have been completely forgotten.

"How do I know? Maybe the tribe is too small. It is safer to live in a tree." In fact, I am also full of curiosity and incomprehension about their tribe.

After a while, someone brought stew again. This makes me extremely puzzled. How do they cook in a tree?

The woman made a gesture of invitation. We were already very hungry and were too lazy to be polite to them. Several large pieces of meat were eaten clean by the four of us.

She looked unsurprised and kept smiling at us. Put your hand on your chest and say, "Uwa."

Several of us were at a loss to each other and we were completely puzzled.

When she saw this, she pointed to the man sitting next to her and said, "Chaka."

"She seems to be introducing their names to us." Zhang Yutong said.

I'm not sure, so I just try to tell her my name is Lu Fei and Zhang Yutong's name. She repeats it. When I was called Uwa, she nodded.

After understanding what it meant, I told them the names of Iori Hardo and Lu Xi. However, the name of Haradou Yizhi is a bit long and it is inconvenient to remember, so I simplified it into Yizhi.

After successfully figuring out each other's names, the following communication fell into a loss again. Uwa showed some frustration. Reminded by the men around her, she was cheerful again and led us around the houses. There are very few people in their tribe, and there are only over 20 children, only to see an old man in his fifties.

We also know the secret of their cooking. They piled up a simple stove with mud and stones on a wide board at a high place. After simple treatment, the burned firewood was thrown down directly. Mix it directly with the soil.

In the evening, they also arranged accommodation for us. Because the house was limited, I was crowded in the same room with two other men. Once the wind blows, the house will creak, causing me to stay up all night, fearing that the house will suddenly disintegrate and fall down.

After getting up in the morning, I summoned Zhang Yutong and the three of them together and told them that we had to go back to the seaside. We need to find out the current situation of Xu Glasses and Li Ding.
