Chapter [70]: Rebellion(2/2)
I said to the leader: "Have you ever been to China? How do you know that the enemy's enemy is a friend?"
"Of course I've been there, I have a lot of friends over there."
The leader nodded and said hello in Chinese.
I also replied hello.
The two of them immediately hit it off. The leader seemed to have met an old friend he had not seen for many years. He directly took my arms and invited me into the house.
The three people hanging on the tree were stunned.
They never thought that the person they were determined to kill was not only not dead, but was also respected as a VIP by the indigenous people.
"What's going on with those people outside?"
After drinking a bowl of cold water brought by the leader, I asked the leader the question I was puzzled.
The leader said: "They violated the taboos on our island."
It turned out that after these three people found the coconut grove, they wanted to pick the fruits from it.
But because the tree is too tall, no fruits can be picked.
They thought of a very stupid way.
Use the tools in your hand to cut down the tree, and then use a way to pick fruits by killing chickens and retrieving eggs.
After they cut down a tree.
The people from this tribe discovered them, and the angry people arrested the three people, and then used the means in their tribe to mobilize the three people who destroyed the trees.
Hearing the leader say this.
I felt a little embarrassed.
The leader handed over a plate of jerky coconut meat: "My friend, I think you should also know that on our island, resources are very scarce, and these coconut trees are our lives."
Indeed, on this island, coconut trees are precious property.
If you destroy the things that others rely on for survival, of course others will not be polite to you.
I ate a slice of jerky coconut meat: "What are you going to do to them?"
The leader shook his head.
He said to me: "Although we won't kill them, we will make them feel the punishment that they should be punished to destroy a tree."
He didn't say it directly, what he wanted to do to those three people.
But from the expression of this leader, we can see that those three people did offend him, and they would not let these three people go easily anyway.
The leader asked: "Are they your friends?"
"No, on the contrary, they still want to kill me."
I'll tell the truth.
After hearing this, the leader patted his chest and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. I'm also worried that they are your friends. If you plead for them, I'm still a little embarrassed."
I felt nervous.
Fortunately, I did not plead for these three people. If I plead for these three people, I would definitely offend the leader in front of me.
Now you must remain calm and feel calm. Everything has nothing to do with you, because in this way, you can retreat and advance.
The leader asked me: "Why do they think about killing you? Are there any grudges between you?"
"They suspect I killed someone."
"But the reality is that you didn't kill anyone, right?"
I nodded and looked up at the leader: "Do you think I'm like a murderer?"
The leader shook his head and smiled: "You don't look like a murderer, but you do kill people. The person you kill should be the damn person."
This leader has indeed been to China and learned the sleek and versatile appearance there.
I said, "There are those three people hanging outside. Can I say a few words to them?"
"Of course, if you want to kill them, we won't object."
The leader was very generous.
He instructed his family to cook good food and entertain guests who came from afar.
It seems that this is a very hospitable leader. I am really lucky. I didn’t expect that on such an isolated island, I would be treated as a distinguished guest. This is something I can’t even dream of.
I asked the leader: "I can't figure out one thing. Since you live on an island, why don't you go to sea to look for opportunities?"
The materials in the sea water are very rich. Ordinary island residents basically make a living in the sea water. They have never seen anyone like this who relies on the mountain to eat.
After hearing what I said, the leader shook his head: "Actually, we also want to go to the sea to make a living, but you also see that the coastline of our island is very steep and there is no place suitable for a pier."
If there is no pier, the boat will not be able to get into the sea. How can you go into the sea to make a living without the boat?
After hearing what the leader said, the other party said it was right because the coastline of this island was indeed very steep.
On such a coastline, it is impossible to build a dock, so even if these islanders live in the middle of a resource-rich ocean, you cannot get any benefit from the ocean.
Moreover, there is no big wood on this island, so they cannot build large ships. If there is no big ship, they will not be able to survive on the ocean.
This is also the most difficult point, and it may be because of this that has affected the development of this isolated island.
The leader said, "Don't you want to talk to those people outside? Go and talk to them, I'll prepare dinner for you."
Su Changfu was flattered by the hospitality leader.
But no matter what, I don’t have to go hungry today, which is a good thing for me, at least I saw a little hope.
