sailing trip

Jimmy is a person who can't bear to be quiet. Not long after Jie and the others left, Jimmy began to tease Ryan and said, "Let's go find them too, and follow them secretly. Waiting here is really boring."

Ryan frowned. He didn't know what was going on in his mind. He patted Jimmy on the shoulder and said, "We couldn't help much in the past, so don't make trouble, and wait for them here with peace of mind."

Jimmy wailed, walked around the deck a few times and returned to Ryan, looking at the jungle longingly.

After a long time, Ryan and the others waited from the morning when the sun rose until the afternoon when the sun was about to set. At this time, Jimmy was already slumped on the side of the boat, looking up a few times, listless to the extreme.

Suddenly, there were several loud noises from the depths of the jungle, and Jimmy jumped up from the side of the boat, looking at the direction of the jungle as if there was a trace of thick smoke rising.

Jimmy looked at Ryan in a panic: "What's the situation? Did you mean to open fire just now?"

Ryan's hands were shaking like hell, and he yelled "go" to Jimmy and tried to run under the boat.

All the people on board cheered up after hearing the loud noise, and instantly became chaotic.

Just when everyone wanted to disembark to find out, the old sailor Aris suddenly issued an order: "All members follow my command, and no one is allowed to disembark."

In an instant, everyone froze in their positions.

Then he said: "Now, everyone is divided into two parts. The people in the odd-numbered rooms are responsible for taking out our cannon barrels, aiming at the forest, and getting ready for battle. The rest of the people disembark and make arrangements to retreat at any time. .”

After Aris gave the order, everyone started their respective tasks in an orderly manner. Ryan and Jimmy happened to be in charge of preparing the cannon barrel. After they placed the cannon barrel, everyone stood by nervously, staring at Looking at the deep green in front of me.

The first one to run out was Kino, and he shouted towards this side while running: "Quick! Get ready to fire! Get ready to retreat!"

Then gradually many people ran out, Ryan and Jimmy searched for the figures of Jie and Joe together in the crowd.Jimmy patted Ryan's arm, and pointed excitedly at the three people in the distance: "Look, look, it's Jie and Joe, huh? Who's standing in the middle?"

Ryan followed Jimmy's eyes and saw the three trotting all the way while being supported, and of course, he also saw the aborigines who were not far behind them.

Seeing that most of his people had already run very close to the ship, Aris ordered to fire.

Several deafening roars and shelling damage stopped the natives from continuing to chase.The native running at the front held up his weapon, murmured something towards the boat, jumped up and down angrily, and finally turned around unwillingly and helped his injured clansman back.

Although the natives were repelled, after confirming that everyone was on board, Da ordered the boat to leave immediately, away from this dangerous place.

As soon as Joe and Jay got on the boat, Ryan and Jimmy ran over, all three of them looked disheartened, and Joe had bruises on his arms.The person in the middle that Jimmy saw in the distance was the one that impressed Ryan deeply. Because he was not assigned to a boat and hadn't seen him for a long time, Ryan had already forgotten it. It was really a surprise to meet in this way suddenly today.

Ryan and Jimmy sat on the right side, half-armed and half-supporting their lover, and went back to Ryan's dormitory together.

When they arrived at the dormitory, before they could ask any further questions, Jie asked Ryan to take out the bandages and medicine, and helped the man to sit down. It wasn't until Jie took off the man's clothes that Ryan saw the astonishing wound on his back.

Jie took out a clean and wet towel, and carefully wiped the blood near the wound that was still oozing blood, until it was wiped clean, he applied wound medicine and wrapped a few times with a bandage.

After finishing the treatment, Jie took out a piece of his own clothes to put on the man, let him lean on the pillow by the wall, and began to introduce to everyone.

"This is Milo, who just saved my life from the natives. Milo, these are my good friends. Joe, you already know each other. The remaining two are Ryan and Jimmy."

"Hello."

"Hello."

Ryan and Jimmy greeted Milo politely.

Milo waved his hand and smiled at them.

"Tell me what happened? Ryan and I are really nervous waiting for you here." Jimmy urged.

"The thing is like this," Jie said slowly, "when we first returned to the original place, there was still only that man chopping wood. When many of us surrounded him, he was startled, and he squeaked. He was shouting and trying to escape, but we caught him. Although language communication was difficult, it did not prevent us from showing kindness to him. In addition, we took a lot of exquisite and practical gifts, Soon he trusted us and took us to the place of his people. Just behind the place where he cut wood, there was a lake through a small forest, and there were rows of small wooden houses along the shore. There are hundreds of people. With his recommendation, we successfully established contact with this tribe."

Jie drank his saliva for a while and then said: "Because of the problem of language communication, no amount of communication is difficult, so we quickly got to the point, we showed them our small industrial products, the group of indigenous people People have never seen these things before, and they were quickly attracted by their colorful appearance. Mr. Da took advantage of the situation and gave these things to them. Of course, the patriarch is also a very straightforward person. He showed us their The treasures accumulated by the tribe for generations include a lot of gold and jewels. In order to thank Mr. Da, or in exchange, he gave us a very large and bright ruby ​​and many pearls."

"Hey, that's great, so how could there be a fight? Could it be that they went back on their word?" Jimmy asked.

Jie lowered his head, pondered for a while and said, "No, it's our problem."

Jie's tone became low: "It was a very pleasant communication and exchange, and the aborigines were also very enthusiastic to keep us eating together. After eating, we left. I thought it would be okay if we went back like this. It was quite rewarding, but just as we were out of the sight of the natives, Mr. Da's face suddenly sank and he called everyone together. It turned out that he was not satisfied with what we got, and he wanted to go back and sneak attack and rob the natives People’s other wealth. I was taken aback after hearing this, subconsciously I looked at Joe, and his face also showed an unacceptable expression. We both looked around, and the few newcomers all had puzzled and suspicious expressions on their faces. Fear and retreat, but most of the old people were very relieved and even a little eager to try. At this time, Joe and I suddenly realized that there were not many newcomers brought out by Mr. Da, and most of them were For those who have sailed with him before, this kind of thing may have happened many times before, so everyone is so relieved, or Mr. Da has thought about this long ago, so most of them are his cronies. Mr. Da seemed to see the wavering of our newcomers. He didn't let us go for a sneak attack, but arranged for us to be a cover in the rear, ready to fire at any time if things were revealed. Just like that, the few of us squatted in the grass, waiting for them to come back .Things were not as easy as expected. They were discovered, and the natives were very angry. They mobilized about all the young men, maybe not all of them. The few cannon shots we heard were fired immediately after we were discovered. At that time, we wanted to scare them with a few cannon shots, but unexpectedly, after we finished firing a few cannon shots, they just paused a little After a while, we immediately chased after them. Because there were so many of them, we didn’t dare to confront them head-on. We had to run towards the boat, but obviously we were not their opponents running in the jungle, so it still couldn’t be avoided. For some confrontation, Milo was stabbed in the back by the native because he wanted to push me away because of the emergency, but he didn’t run away, but fortunately it was from the side, otherwise it would have been very dangerous.” He said, Jay turned his gaze to Milo.

Milo nodded to show his casualness, turned his eyes to Ryan, looked at his grateful and distressed gaze, and slightly twitched the corners of his mouth.

"You all know what happened next. After we ran out, we joined you."
