Chapter 54: Play a Trick

I raised my hand, and he subconsciously dodged, looking frightened, which was the sequela of being beaten by muscular men.

I put down my hand and said, "You two should not be so naive. It's good to stay with the aborigines. There is food and drink. Once you go out to live by yourself, life will be unsustainable, and they will come to search us. What if we are caught back by them? There is no chance to turn over."

"We can run into the mountains and forests. They will definitely not find us easily. There must be many wild animals there." Li Ding said again.

I called the two of them to sit down on the ground, and told them what happened to us after we tracked the human-faced monkey into the mountains that day and what the chief 

After hearing this, both of them were horrified with completely unbelievable eyes.

I said, "Everything I said is true. Don't tell anyone when you go back. Now that the human-faced monkey had died, those human monkeys and the black ones will definitely come to the island. You two should understand how dangerous the island will be."

Xu glasses suddenly realized and said, "It turned out to be like this. I said how could you agree to live in an aboriginal tribe? It turned out to avoid those monsters."

I nodded: "Otherwise, what do you think? Now the highlands are the safest."

Li Ding praised me for my thoughtfulness. He was a complete flatterer.

I couldn't help laughing in my heart. The reason why I told them these things was to intimidate them and let them not have the idea of running away in private.

After the chat, I led the two of them to the woods for a while. When I met the right trees, I cut them down myself. Once the axe falls into their hands, it may cause hidden dangers.

The first tree was cut down by me. After shaving off its branches and leaves, the two men rushed to lift it and transport it to the high ground.

I stopped and said, why are you so hurry to move it back? Take a break first."

"Li Ding, do you see, or Lu Fei character is good. He really takes us as brothers." Xu glasses said with emotion.

Li Ding nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the muscular man bastard only knows how to bully us. I am just too timid. If you had a little courage, you should have followed Brother Fei and dealt with muscular men together."

"Don't say that, when you say it to me, my heart becomes more and more guilty and regretful. We are all sorry for Lu Fei." Xu's glasses wiped his eyes, completely unable to see that he meant to tear.

I picked up the axe and walked to another tree: "Don't act there, just know how to do it later."

After cutting down four trunks with Y-forks, I asked them to carry two trunks back, and I supervised the work behind them. Although the trees were not very long and thick, the two men carried them with great effort. That was to say, the two of them were not strong enough. If they were a muscular man, I would have to let him carry the four pieces of wood back together at the same time.

After transporting the wood back to the house, the two men were sweating profusely.

I didn't give them a chance to rest, and urged: "Hurry up and pick up those branches. The fastest one will have food at night, and the one who lags behind will not eat tonight."

The two men ran away and pushed each other on the way. For fear that the other one will grab the first place.

Li Wanxue can speak the words of aborigines and is familiar with many of them. I asked her to call some aborigines to help us build a house together.

When four pieces of wood were buried, Li Ding rushed back with a bundle of branches. Xu glasses followed closely behind but still fell behind by Li Ding.

After sending Li Ding to help the aborigines build the house together, I greeted Xu Glasses. Near the front and back, Xu Glasses explained resentfully: "Li Ding, that guy, doesn't talk about credibility. We dragged the branches to the highlands together. When he came up, he ran away. I trust him in vain."

I laughed and said, "You should be smarter than him. How did he cheat you?"

Xu glasses said helplessly, "I regard him as a brother, but he does not regard me as a brother. Lu Fei, I really was not to blame me for this. Do you think dinner is..."

I held out my hand and interrupted him, saying, "Stop it, let's follow the rules."

"You can't help but don’t give me food." Xu glasses dropped the branch and became anxious: "I have done so much work that I can't even sleep at night without eating. How can I do anything for you tomorrow?"

I pointed to the house being built and said, "The house is built for you. What does it mean to help me? I am doing things for you."

Xu glasses nodded repeatedly: "What you said is true, but I beg you. We are stranded on a desert island. Eating here is the biggest problem. If we don't have food, we can't stand it..." He paused and tears came down: "Brother Lu Fei, I have never suffered so much in my life. This place is really not for people to stay."

I greeted him and said, "Don't cry, what a shame. You can break the rules if you want. Didn't everyone say you were smart?"

"I'm a fart smart, if I were smart, I wouldn't have fallen to this step." The more he talked, the more uncomfortable he felt.

I felt a little guilty about it. I felt that I have gone too far. It's just a meal, why do I need to embarrass a big man like a three-year-old child?

I said, "Well, I'll call the muscular man to help us build the house together, and then you'll find a chance to fix him. If it succeeds, you can eat as much as you want tonight. If he is safe and sound, then you can't blame me."

Xu glasses bowed his heads and hesitated for a moment, nodded his heads.

After greeting him to build a house, I called Li Wanxue to meet the chief and asked him to lend me the muscular man. Later, I will ask my slave to help him work.

The chief quickly agreed with me. And he sent someone to bring muscular man to me. Enemies are especially jealous when they meet. However, the muscular men have no capital to deal with now, and they can do nothing but pretend to be reluctant.

When I got to the place where the house was built, I glanced at Xu's glasses. He nodded his head and walked towards the muscular man with a smile.

As the instigator behind him, I naturally have to stand by and watch how this good show is staged.

Xu glasses walked up to the muscular man and showed great politeness. He pointed to the house that had already built the bracket and motioned the muscular man to climb up. Muscle man smiled proudly, spit a little saliva on his hand, rubbed it twice, hugged the wood, jumped up like a monkey, sat on the wooden fork and waved his hands.

Xu glasses called Li Ding and two aborigines, and four people struggled together to erect a piece of wood. After catching the wood, the muscular man and the aborigines squatting on the opposite wooden fork erected a crossbar.

When it came to work, the muscular men was indeed good at it.

After the four crossbars were built, grid supports were laid on them. In order to be waterproof, the roof must be tilted at an angle of 45 degrees. The muscular man stood on one side at the lower end of the room.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xu glasses didn't get to do his work, so I called him to the front. I questioned him directly with eyes.

Xu Glasses turned his back and said in a low voice: "Brother Lu Fei, don't worry, I'll clean him up when he helps us build the house."

"Whether you can have dinner or not depends on yourself." I don't even understand how he is going to fix muscle men.

"Look at it." Xu glasses smiled badly and was full of confidence.

At this time, Zhang Yutong came up and told me that dinner was ready.

"Wait a minute, then eat after work." Although I am a little hungry, I am more eager to see a good show.

After the roof was laid out, today's work came to an end, and it was already dark.

When the muscular man and the aborigines were preparing to come down, Xu glasses shouted at him: "Don't come down first, you walk around the roof to see if the knot is strong."
