Chapter 252 Helping The Natives
Seeing their intoxicated appearance, Ren Yuanyuan said, "Captain, isn't this chili spicy?"
"This is Chaotian pepper, can it be less spicy?"
"Then why do they eat so much?"
"You'll know once you taste it."
"Forget it, I don't want to taste it."
"This may be related to their living environment. You see, this is an island, and there is a lake where they live. The rainy season is relatively long here, and the air is humid. Eating more chili can remove moisture, which is good for the body."
"Oh."
Wang Yuan checked the time. It was half past ten. He took out a cigarette and gave one to each of the three.
The three of them took the cigarettes, looked left and right, not knowing what to do.
Wang Yuan lit one, puffed out the clouds with a contented face, and spit out a smoke ring from time to time.
The three of them stared at Wang Yuan's lighter, envious.
Wang Yuan saw that they lit cigarettes for them, and the three of them imitated taking a puff, but they were choked up and coughed and burst into tears.
"Hahaha..." The four of Wang Yuan laughed loudly, and the three of them laughed too.
The three daughters of Jiang Yan picked up the dried fruits and ate them. There were dried mangoes, dried bananas, dried pineapples, etc., all sliced and sun-dried, very sweet.
"Really delicious!"
"Very sweet!" All the girls were full of praise.
At this time, the girl came out with the help of an old woman. The old woman had gray hair and wrinkled face, a tiger skin wrapped around her waist, a circle of leaves around her chest, and a circle of colorful feathers around her head. Leaning on a cane, a small bamboo tube hangs around his neck.
Seeing this crutch, Wang Yuan and the others gasped.
The whole body of the cane is dark, but it is shiny, and it makes a wooden sound when it hits the ground. I don’t know what kind of wood it is made of. It is thick and thin, and it is very straight. It is about 1.67 meters long. A huge sapphire is inlaid on the top of the walking stick.
Wang Yuan thought, what's going on with these aborigines, don't you know if the money is not exposed? No wonder it was targeted by pirates.
Everyone stood up, and the three boys crossed their fists on their chests, which should be their etiquette.
The old man waved for everyone to sit down, Wang Yuan quickly moved a wooden stake for the old man and asked her to sit down.
The old man gave him a slight smile and sat down, and everyone took their seats.
The old man babbled, and Wang Yuan shook his head, expressing that he didn't understand.
The girl found another stick and squatted on the ground with Wang Yuan to draw.
Finally, I finally understood that this old woman is the girl's grandmother, and she has three big brothers, but not long ago when the pirates came, the villagers rose up to fight and drove them away, but the pirates killed many people, including her Grandpa, parents and a big brother, the girl's grandmother is the patriarch or chief here, this crutch is a scepter, here is a woman who is the master of the house, or has a bit of a matriarchal nature.
Later, pirates often appeared around this island. They set up traps in the woods to prevent pirates. Sometimes pirates went to the island, but they were blocked by traps and returned without success. Many pirates died, fearing their revenge. , and asked Wang Yuan to help.
When Wang Yuan told Jiang Yan and the others about the situation, the three women also sympathized with this group of people very much, and even shed tears. Jiang Yan came over and held the girl's hand to express comfort.
With tears in her beautiful eyes, the girl crossed her hands in front of her chest, and kept bowing to the four of them.
The princess quickly supported the girl, and Ren Yuanyuan said: "Captain, you should quickly find a way to help them."
Wang Yuan said: "Why don't we leave some weapons, ammunition and unused supplies on our ship to them."
Ren Yuanyuan said: "Well, yes. But this is not enough to deal with pirates."
"These pirates don't know how many people there are. This village doesn't know how many people there are."
"Looking at the scale, there should have been about 110 or 20 people, but now there are probably only 80 or 90 people, less than 100, and most of them are women, old people and children."
Jiang Yan suddenly said excitedly: "Captain, didn't we hide a batch of munitions on the last island? Let's transport them over and leave them all. There are still heavy weapons there, enough to deal with pirates."
Wang Yuan pondered for a while, and said: "Our fuel oil can't last for a few days, and it will take another two days to go back and transport the ammunition back and forth, and if this ship is missing, there will definitely be people searching for it in that sea area. We will have to risk a lot. Big risk."
"Why don't we go back to the ship to move supplies first, Sister Fang and Dahei may have to wait in a hurry, so join them first, let's discuss it later." Biquku
At this time, two teenagers walked in from the outside, both of them were holding fish in one hand.
He is holding two fish in one hand, it seems that he has just returned from fishing in the lake.
The two teenagers were about eighteen or nineteen years old. When they came in, seeing so many people, they couldn't stop looking at Wang Yuan and the four of them. At the same time, they were shocked by the appearance of the three women.
Earlier, the three boys chatted with the two teenagers, and the girl started drawing pictures with Wang Yuan.
It turned out that the two teenagers were the girl's big brother. The two big brothers came to Wang Yuan, crossed their hands in front of their chests and bowed deeply.
Wang Yuan waved his hands, helped them up, then squatted down, and started to draw, which meant that there was a boat outside the island, and there were four partners on board, and asked the girl to find some people to carry supplies on board.
Wang Yuan even drew and gestured, and the girl understood it, so she hurriedly got up and explained to everyone, then the girl's grandmother and those people saluted Wang Yuan and the four together, and Jiang Yan and the three daughters quickly supported the old man.
Wang Yuan waved his hands again and again, and began to draw on the ground again, signaling the girl to call for help.
The girl said a few words to grandma, and grandma nodded, motioning everyone to go outside.
The girl stepped forward to help her grandma, and Jiang Yan also went to help the old man. The old man smiled at Jiang Yan to express his gratitude, and everyone walked out.
When they got outside the door, the two teenagers closed the door, and the old man picked up the bamboo tube hanging around his neck and put it in his mouth and blew it. It turned out that it was a bamboo whistle.
"Beep, beep, beep..."
With the sound of the bamboo whistle, crowds began to gather behind them, and people came out of their homes to automatically walk in the queue behind them.
When he arrived under the dragon blood tree, the old man turned around slowly with the support of the girl and Jiang Yan, while Wang Yuan, Ren Yuanyuan and Zheng Liwan stood aside.
There were more than 80 aborigines standing in the open space in front of them, all of them were brown people, and their positions were very clear. On the left stood more than 50 women and children, and all men over ten years old stood on the right. Three or four people.
Among the men, there are only seventeen or eighteen men between the ages of fifteen and forty, which is the absolute labor of the entire village.
There are people of all ages on the women's and children's side. There is even a woman who directly lifts the leaves on her chest and feeds the baby in her arms openly.
All of them have animal skins around their waists, the women have leaves around their chests, and white feathers around their heads. Only the girl and her grandmother here have colorful feathers around their heads.
The old man said a few words to the girl, and the girl took two steps forward.
