Chapter 103 Ice Coffin Fire Lotus

In an instant, all the surrounding ice cubes turned into people. They used white cloaks to pretend to be ice cubes, and then covered them with thick snow, successfully confusing Bai Han's eyes.

"Wow wow wow wow..."

Bai Han frowned and looked at the group of 'people' who looked like savages below, and he thought to himself, 'I'm afraid I've met the indigenous people', but can people survive in such a cold place?

"Crack, click..." There was a sound of footsteps, and Bai Han saw a person who looked like a leader coming to the front, "It is said in the documentary that ordinary aborigines like to eat people, and they are also very unfriendly to outsiders, but they don't know about it. What will happen to the natives? 'Although he conjectured like this, in fact, Bai Han was already ready for a big fight in his heart.

"Put him down."

Bai Han frowned, the leader could speak English, and he spoke in a correct manner, that is to say, there is no civilization here. Could it be that they are scientists sent from abroad?

After Bai Han was let down, they tied him up with hemp ropes as thick as thumbs. He noticed that these hemp ropes were exactly the same as the hemp ropes used to hang the sails on the boat, and then three or four men chased him away like ducks. He rushed forward and teased him severely along the way.

In fact, Bai Han is fully capable of breaking free from this hemp rope that looks like a decoration, let alone deal with these people, but he thought it would be a good way, using the title of being arrested, he can directly enter the lives of these people. territory.

The further you go in, the less people visit. There are clusters of upside-down ice thorns on the ground. From the perspective of the landscape alone, it is very appreciative, until Bai Han noticed that the roots of some barbs were slightly red. , and the broken fabric, I don't think it is ornamental here.

After passing through a long and narrow canyon gap with icebergs on both sides, Bai Han finally saw the stronghold of these aborigines.

"Take him down and share."

Bai Han's heart skipped a beat, this 'sharing' obviously needs to be understood as the meaning of 'eat', 'These natives really eat people! Bai Han immediately said: "Living in this isolated place, don't you want to know the outside world?"

According to Bai Han's observations, most of the people here are indeed indigenous residents, but the leader, even if his behavior is rude, still retains an educated reserve in some details.

Hearing the familiar language suddenly, the man was obviously stunned, and even the natives around him were silent for a moment, the man turned around and stared at Bai Han with sharp eyes: "You can speak English? Who are you. "

Bai Han looked back at the past with the same momentum as others: "Since we are all civilized, I hope we can speak on an equal footing."

"You don't have the right to speak with me on an equal footing. Don't forget that as long as I give an order, you will die."

Bai Han smiled: "I should. As long as you still desire the outside world, then I have the right to talk to you on an equal footing."

The leader suddenly fell silent, and the surrounding natives obviously noticed his change, and shouted one after another. Although the expression was rude, Bai Han could read 'worries' from their eyes.

"Let him go first." The leader waved his hand, and even though the natives below were not willing, they obeyed and untied Bai Han.

That being the case, for the time being, he doesn't have to be slaughtered and eaten by the natives as a large animal.

"Who are you and how did you come here?" the leader asked.

Bai Han turned his wrist, and said: "Our passenger ship had an accident, I was lucky to drift to this island, and I'm afraid others will be in trouble."

The leader froze for a moment: "Another passenger ship accident!"

Hearing these words with sharp ears, Bai Han guessed in his heart, could it be that this person drifted here in an accident?

"Your accent sounds like an American, but you look like you've lived here for a long time, so what happened to you?"

"Back then..." The leader obviously fell into memories for a moment, but he quickly realized and looked at Bai Han fiercely: "Be careful with your mouth, don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

The natives all looked at Bai Han with fierce faces.

"Okay, I won't ask!" Bai Han raised his hand, indicating that he would not ask any more questions, and then the leader asked: "How many years and months is it now?"

"January 2018."

"... It's been ten years... Does anyone still remember the shipwreck?"

'Ten years ago! Bai Han frowned. He was only in his teens at that time, and he had almost forgotten everything in the news, but this did not hinder the communication between the two. During the exchange, Bai Han finally understood why ten years passed No, this man's language ability has not degraded. He spent ten years training these indigenous people to understand his language.

When he came to the glacier ten years ago, the death rate of the aborigines was very high due to the cold weather. Later, with his help, their death rate was greatly reduced, so as time passed, these aborigines began to use He is the core of leadership.

"what your name?"

"White! What your name?"

"Rock!"

With the communication between the two, Rock's hostility towards Bai Han also decreased. Instead, because he hadn't communicated normally for a long time, he pulled the other party to talk non-stop. Bai Han also took the opportunity to test: "This place is so cold, it will be even more unbearable at night." , how do you keep warm?"

'Fire in water', the only thing Bai Han can think of is to keep warm and light a fire.

Rock wiped his face, "Fire? Hehe, there is no such thing here. I haven't felt the temperature of fire in a long time. The only time we can touch fire is the combustible ice floating on the sea. Unfortunately, we don't have fire." With the ability to mine combustible ice, we usually eat fish in the sea, isn’t that the way Japanese sashimi is eaten, and we will get used to it after a long time.”

Bai Han nodded, "Come on, buddy, night is coming, let's go into the cave, where we can withstand the cold wind at night." Rock led him into a small ice cave, and the natives followed closely behind them. behind.

The entrance of this ice cave is not big, but there is a lot of space inside, and there are countless holes in the twists and turns. Bai Han felt the roughness of the cave wall and guessed that these holes should be man-made.

The place where Rock lives belongs to the core part of the ice cave. As they walked along, Bai Han saw that there were many indigenous people hidden in each cave, but the faces of these indigenous people did not look very good. Most of them were women and children. His face was flushed red from the cold, and a pair of pitch-black eyes stared at him, a stranger, full of vigilance.

'Crack, click...'

"Here, this is my place, buddy, you should sleep here tonight."

Bai Han stared blankly at the spectacle in front of him, "What is that?"

Rock turned around and glanced, "Oh, that's the burial place of the dead natives, because the temperature here is low, the corpses are not easy to rot, and they don't give up on the dead, so they made these ice coffins to freeze people Inside, after a long time, it became this coffin wall."

He patted Bai Han on the shoulder: "You are a man, don't be afraid of these corpses, these are just decorations."

I saw that at the bottom of the ice cave, ice coffins made of ice were lined up to form a wall, and corpses were placed inside, and the most eye-catching thing was the fiery red flower stamens growing out of the gaps in each coffin.

The shape of the stamen moved Bai Han's heart, and he almost subconsciously turned on the system to determine whether this was the 'fire in water' he was looking for. After the system confirmed it, his eyes lit up when he looked at the coffin.

"Then what are these flowers?" Bai Han pretended not to ask.

Rock smiled: "These flowers are God's greatest gift to this glacier and the natives here. There are no plants here all year round, except for the seaweed in the sea. Fire lotus is the only color here."

"It's really beautiful, and there's nothing spoiling about it."

"That's right, the fire lotus grows from the cracks in the coffin. The natives here regard them as a souvenir of the dead to the world, and cherish them very much, let alone destroy them."

Bai Han's heart sank, it seemed that it was not easy to get these flowers.

But he had to pick a fire lotus, and of course he could use force to snatch it, but he couldn't bear to face such a warm scene on the glacier, let alone he was no longer willing to hurt people's lives at will.

In order to achieve his goal, he will try his best to get close to those natives in the days to come, see what they need, and then exchange them in the system. Of course, he can't take them out blatantly now.

The weather has become colder recently, and most of the natives have started to have fever and runny noses. Bai Han took this opportunity to ask Rock about going to sea, "You want to go to sea?"

Bai Han nodded: "Rock, if they don't take medicine, some of them will definitely not be able to survive. These days, I vaguely remember the place where the passenger ship sank. If possible, I want to find some medicine for them."

Rock took a deep look at him, and Bai Han patted him on the shoulder: "Dude, don't you understand me after all these days?"

The man who lived with the natives all the year round obviously didn't have too many twists and turns in his heart. Hearing Bai Han's words, he immediately agreed and handed him his beloved dagger, "Man, I wish you the best of luck."

Bai Han nodded and started on the road.

Out of the corner of his eye, some natives poked their heads out to look at him from time to time. This group of simple people has eliminated their hostility towards him through getting along these few days. Even if it wasn't for Huo Lian, Bai Han wanted to do something for them.

Of course, it was true that Bai Han went out to sea this time, but the purpose was to find the way back. Sitting on the crab king's body, it was a spectacle along the way.

When night falls, there are hill-like people standing on the glacier. They are covered with animal fur, only revealing two black eyes, watching the sea in front of them.

Bai Han changed his 'mount' on the way and rowed a dilapidated small kayak. When he saw those indigenous people and Rock, his nose was sore. These people looked very cruel at first glance, but they could get along with each other for a while Afterwards, you will find that they are actually very simple, and their ferocity is only derived from the instinct of animals.

He also finally understood why they valued Rock so much, because he brought civilization to them. The most fundamental difference between humans and animals is that humans yearn for civilization.

"Wow wow wow..." The natives shouted excitedly around Bai Han when they saw a large pile of bundles in the kayak, and their eyes were extremely shining in the dark night.

Inside the package are warm clothes exchanged from the system. Although the material is very thin, it is indeed extraordinarily warm to wear. There are at least a dozen such clothes, and the medicine exchanged from the system is wrapped in the center of the clothes. These medicines are enough to cure the aborigines who are sick and febrile.

Although they couldn't speak, they were very clear-headed. They hugged and packed into the ice cave. Bai Han also smiled and raised his legs to follow, but his shoulder was suddenly grabbed by the hand behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Rock full of doubts. eyes.

"What's the matter, man?"

"Who the hell are you?"

Bai Han was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I, I am Bai."

Rock shook his head, and let go of his hand: "No, what I'm asking is not your name, but your identity. You definitely didn't fish those things out of the sea."

Bai Han felt a 'thump' in his heart, and before he could think of an explanation, Rock said angrily: "Are you a scientist sent by some country? It's cold, but facing the sinister people outside, it's like a paradise here, you can't destroy it all."

Bai Han burst out laughing: "Dude, you really think too much, I'm not some kind of expatriate scientist, I'm only 22 years old, do you think I can be a scientist?"

Rock looked at him suspiciously: "Then how do you explain everything just now, those things are dry, there will be no things that can be fished out of the sea to do this, is there a ship on the sea to meet you?"

Bai Han pursed his lips, looked into the other person's eyes and said, "Rock, although you drifted here, since you have the means to find animal fur to make clothes for those natives, I believe you must also have the means to cross the ocean and go back on your own. , even if it is the garbage that has been floating around in the past ten years, there are always things that can be recycled to bring you back to the United States, but why would you rather stay here than go back?"

Rock was taken aback, and Bai Han continued: "Because you like this place, you like these natives, and you don't have too much intrigue here. Their childlike and innocent hearts are what you want to protect the most."

As if being poked in the middle, Rock looked at him, Bai Han took a deep breath and stared at the other: "Trust me, brother, I feel the same as you."

"So you don't want to go back either?"

Bai Han smiled: "No, I have to go back."

"why?"

"Because my lover is waiting for me..." Bai Han turned his head, and taking advantage of the good atmosphere, he slowly said that he wanted to pick fire lotus to save his lover, while Rock looked at him in shock: "My God, man , your love is too romantic, but fire lotus is their belief, I really don't know how I can help you."

Bai Han smiled: "Thank you Rock, actually you have helped me a lot, let me solve this matter myself, one day they will soften their hearts... Heh, it's really cold here at night, let's go in quickly .” After speaking, he lifted his legs and walked inside.

Rock looked at Bai Han's back, feeling a little unbearable in his heart, and already started to think of a way to help him.

Putting on the warm clothes that Bai Han brought and taking the medicine he brought, the sick natives slowly fell asleep. Bai Han secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that everything would be better tomorrow. Only in this way can he negotiate with the natives. chips.

Before dawn the next day, Bai Han heard a sharp cry, and then a female native ran towards him, and Bai Han secretly cried out, "Could something have happened, but the system's medicine must be effective, and it shouldn't be possible to have an accident." ’, and then the three female natives knelt down and kowtowed to Bai Han.

Bai Han looked at Rock who was walking slowly one day in a daze, and the latter smiled and said, "They are thanking you for your clothes and medicine. The few indigenous children who were unconscious due to fever last night all recovered because of your medicine. conscious."

"Really, that's really great, you guys get up quickly." Bai Han said and helped the native woman who was kneeling on the ground to get up.

The three women glanced at each other, and suddenly one of them took out a brilliant fire lotus from his bosom, Bai Han's eyes widened, and he turned to look at Rock, who shook his head playfully and smiled: " Idon't know, maybe want to thank you."

"God, buddy, I'm so thankful." He knew that the natives were willing to give him the fire lotus must be because Rock had worked hard in it, and Bai Han, who had experienced the darkness of human nature for a while, was deeply moved.

"Don't worry, I will definitely buy this place when I go back, so that people in the whole world won't bother you."

'Fire in water', isn't ice another form of water, so there is nothing wrong with this 'fire in water'.

When Bai Han left, the natives and Rock were standing on the shore, and their eyes showed reluctance at this time, which was in stark contrast to the ferocity when they captured Bai Han.

"thank you all--"

"Wow oh oh oh oh..."

The dirty little kayak dangled on the sea, and gradually disappeared in front of people's eyes. With a smile on his face, Bai Han set off for the next goal, "Linjiang can be saved with only two more things", thinking so he shook his hand. The hand holding the paddle tightened again.
