Chapter 9 Part Eight: The Hidden Paradise

I immediately heard the curses of Luo Zhiqian and Po Jin coming from the room, and then, one after another, the sound of gunfire from all directions, but I just lay still. Bo Jin and Luo Zhiqian just shot aimlessly, the bullets didn't have eyes, so of course they wouldn't fly to me. I heard Bo Jin say fiercely: I will go back and bring the wolfhound team, and we will start a search across the island. Luo Zhiqian said: Yes, go quickly, otherwise, our plan will be destroyed! Until now, I still don't understand why they insisted on getting rid of me, why they insisted that I would spoil their plans.Because even if I truthfully announce everything I have encountered to the world, it is tantamount to advertising their anti-aging ingredients, making it easier for people to believe in the longevity of the elixir.

However, they insisted on getting rid of me! What other dark secrets does the elixir have? At this time, I couldn't think of it. In fact, I didn't have the heart to think about it carefully, because the most urgent task at the moment was to escape first. I had to find a creek or river, and then wade back and forth several times to avoid it. Wolfhound tracking. I backed away quietly, and when I thought it was safe for the time being, I ran forward, rolled down another hillside, then stood up, and continued to walk forward until I came to a mountain stream. The water in that mountain stream was very deep, almost up to my neck. I swam over, swam back, jumped on the bank a few times, swam over again, went back and forth five or six times, and finally climbed to the other bank. ran out.

I walked until I couldn't run anymore, and when I couldn't even walk, I used the two javelins in my hand as crutches, and walked forward with support until my body fell down by itself. I fell to the ground and still rolled a few times. After rolling to a big rock, I gasped. It was getting brighter and I was beginning to be able to see where I was. I was lying in a valley surrounded by mountains, trees and many unknown tropical plants around me.I looked where I came from, but there was no trace to be found. And by this time, I hadn't heard the dog barking, so the wolfhound team must have never found my whereabouts.

That is to say, I am safe. I used the sharp muzzle of a javelin to cut off two large leaves that looked like taro leaves. Those two leaves could cover my whole body. I closed my eyes under the big leaves. . I'm so tired, I need to rest, even if I don't want to sleep, I should. Of course I couldn't sleep, because my heart was really messed up. what should I do?I have almost obtained all the secrets of Bo Jin and Luo Zhiqian. Should I try to go back to where there are people and inform the police that Luo Zhiqian is a fugitive?But I immediately dismissed the idea. Because it's useless, Bo Jin is very powerful here, he can protect Luo Zhiqian, and he doesn't seem like a person with a conscience, maybe removing Luo Zhiqian, he would be happier in his heart.

So, what should I do? Shall I weave a raft and go away? This kind of thought is really ridiculous, what I can do now is how not to be devoured by wild beasts in the mountains, not to be found by Bo Jin and Luo Zhiqian, not to starve to death, in short, I want to live! You can only do things if you are alive! I lay down until noon, and then I fell asleep. After sleeping for a while, I woke up again. I continued to walk forward, picking and eating fruits that seemed edible along the way, chewing and eating them. I have been walking forward, I hope to see the sea, and when I come to the sea, I may have a little more life.

But until it got dark, I still didn't see the sea. After it was completely dark, I was really exhausted. Because I found many poisonous snakes in the last few miles, I didn't dare to sleep when it was dark. I just supported and walked forward slowly. Sitting on a clean stone for a while, but remained awake. Until midnight, it was pitch black all around, I was leaning against a tree, my eyelids weighed a thousand pounds, and it was really hard to hold on. But just at this moment, I saw a flash of fire in the bushes in front of me. That flash of light made my heart tremble, and I quickly clung to the tree without moving. At the same time, I raised the javelin in my hand, and I saw that it was a torch.

The torch will not come here by itself, of course someone is holding it, so, is it Po Jin and Luo Zhiqian's search team? If it's a search party, I'm terrible. I looked forward intently, and the fire light appeared and disappeared from time to time, but it did not move closer, and there was no special sound coming out, which gradually made me feel relieved. Because if the search team comes, then it will definitely make a noise, and it will never be quiet. If it is not a search team, then who is it?Could it be a fugitive like me? Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing bitterly, because there are many heavy-duty prisoners imprisoned here, and it's not surprising that one or two escaped.And the reason why I smiled wryly is because if the person in front is really a fugitive, then I really want to join bandits!

I collected myself, moved forward slowly, and walked over. I was very careful in my actions. Judging from the fact that the torch was still at the original place, although my actions had not been noticed by the person holding the torch, I did not stop until I was only seven or eight steps away from the fire. Come down and look forward. Sure enough, someone was holding a torch, but only one person. The man was short in stature, with brown-black complexion, a very large head shell, and thick and curly hair. He wore nothing but a piece of cloth around his waist, and around his waist was tied a bamboo tube. Be a native!

The native was squatting on the ground, holding a torch in one hand, and digging vigorously in the ground with the other.A small pit had been dug by his hands on the ground, but he was still digging. The appearance of this native was similar to that of the natives I had seen in Poggin's house and in Poggin's villa. It was because I felt this that I didn't speak out immediately. If my guess is correct, then this native has naturally lived for an unknown number of years, because there is that super anti-aging element to maintain his life. Naturally, I didn't want to make a sound, because he was most likely the same as Po Jin and Luo Zhiqian.

I looked at him quietly, I really didn't know what he was doing, but he kept digging, digging so vigorously, after a while, I could only hear a creaking sound from the ground, the native suddenly straightened up. Only then did I know what the native was doing, because he was holding a fat vole in his hand!And what happened next was even more disgusting. He used a very blunt knife to stab the vole's neck vigorously. The small knife was blunt and couldn't go in. The field mouse twisted and screamed strangely. Finally, the field mouse died, and the native man tore off the skin, put the field mouse on the torch and roasted it. Before it was cooked, he chewed and ate it. .

When the savage started chewing field mice, I knew he wasn't one of Poggin's. If he was one of Pokin's gang, no matter how hungry he was, he could wait until he got back to the villa, so why would he eat a field mouse here almost alive? I made sure of this and decided to show up. Take a step. My left leg stepped out first, just stepped on a dead branch, and made a slapping sound.That sound made the native jump up and immediately pointed the knife in his hand at me. I didn't know whether he was vicious or kind, so I immediately aimed the javelin at him. The two of us confronted each other for two minutes. For those two minutes, I kept a smile on my face, which almost stiffened the muscles in my face. Finally, the expression of suspicion and fear on the native's face gradually disappeared, and he actually smiled at me too. When a civilized person smiles at you, you may have to be on guard, but when a native smiles at you, then you can really feel relieved.So, I lowered the javelin first. The native also put down his knife and pushed a bunch of half-baked voles towards me. Naturally, I thanked him for my insensitivity.I tried to talk to him when he started chewing again. However, I used several languages ​​spoken by the natives in the South Pacific islands, and he said he could not understand them.However, he was very interested in the javelin in my hand.Pointing at the javelin, he kept repeating, saying: "Han is in the same frame, and Han is in the same frame." I didn't know what Han Tongjia meant, so I tried my best to gesture to him, indicating that I wanted to go to the seaside. It took at least an hour, plus I was drawing on the ground, to make him understand this. And he also took a lot of time to make me understand that he also wanted to go to the seaside. I found that drawing simple pictures with hand gestures was the best way to talk to each other.In the next hour, I learned again that he had escaped from the villa. Because he drew a house on the ground, the native is very talented in art, and the house with a special pointed roof can be seen as Poggin's villa at a glance.And he drew a villain again, coming out of the villa. Then, he pointed to the little man, and then to the tip of his own nose.Next to that little man, I also drew a little man with two javelins in his hand, then pointed to that little man, and then pointed to the tip of my nose, and told him that I also escaped from this villa. from. He looked at me with a very strange look, obviously asking why I had escaped. I have no way to answer him. Of course, I can't express such a complicated matter with pictures. He patted the bamboo tube on his waist, and looked at me with that suspicious look.I didn't know what was in the bamboo tube, so I looked at him suspiciously, he hesitated for a moment, and opened the bamboo tube. I looked into the bamboo tube, and saw that the bamboo tube contained a milky white juice, which gave off a strong, very indescribable strange smell. I only took one look, and the native quickly stuffed the bamboo tube again. It's obvious that he attaches great importance to the contents of this tube.There was a sudden movement in my heart, and I immediately remembered what Luo Zhiqian said, the milky white liquid in the bamboo tube is the elixir of death! I looked at the native, the native put the bamboo tube to his mouth, made a drink, then shook his hand, pointed to the steeple house, spread his hands again, and then rolled his eyes upwards, the wooden man Standing there for a while, then pointed to the running villain again. I understood that he was explaining to me why he was fleeing.But it was hard for me to understand what language his series of gestures represented. He drank the elixir first, then pointed to Bo Jin's villa, and shook his hand, which probably meant that Bo Jin would not give him the elixir. .So what does it mean that his eyes are turned upwards and the wooden man seems to be motionless? I asked him over and over again, and he kept repeating those movements, but I still couldn't figure it out, so I had to give up the question first, and I invited him to the seaside together, and he expressed his pleasure, and then, again A small island was drawn on the ground, he pointed to the small island, and said, "Han is in the same frame!" I finally understood that Han Tongjia was the name of that island, and he was inviting me to go to that island together! My heart moved, he is from that island, he is naturally experienced in sailing, I want to leave here, he should be the best guide, we can go to sea together. Moreover, Hantongjia Island is the origin of the elixir, so I really need to check it out, maybe I can know the secret of the elixir when I get to that island. So, I quickly nodded in agreement. During that night, we had a lot of conversations through pictures. The next day, we walked forward together. I know that on an island, if you want to find the sea, you can always walk in one direction. , using this method, I came to the seaside with that native. The sand on the beach is as white as flour, and all kinds of beautiful shells are scattered on the beach. The smallest one is smaller than a finger, and the largest one can almost be used as the bed of the native. We lay on the beach for a while and started planning again. It took us three days to cut down a dozen trees, weave several rafts out of vines, hooped several wooden barrels, and filled them with mountain stream water. I picked a lot of fruits, and caught more than a dozen A very large crab, tied to the raft, a dozen or so crabs, enough to feed the two of us for a month. Then we pushed the raft out to sea, and as the tide went out, the raft floated south. The raft floated on the sea, day after day, for seven full days. Drifting on the sea like this, it is almost impossible to drift to an island, but the native is very optimistic, and every time the moon rises, he can't help cheering loudly. On the night of the seventh day, he continued to pick up seaweed from the sea, and tasted the sea water, which was the way they knew where they were. Then, he picked up a huge conch and blew it vigorously. The conch made a monotonous whining sound, and he blew it for most of the night, making me dizzy. Then, I heard that kind of whining sound coming from a distance. I couldn't help cheering for his miraculous way of calling for help. The whining sound from a distance was getting closer and closer. After a while, I saw several canoes paddling forward. At this time, it was the time when the sun was rising, and the canoes came very fast, and they were approaching in a blink of an eye. There are three canoes in total, and there are three natives on each of them. They look and look like my friends. After nearly half a month of acquaintance with my friend, I can call him like this. He cried out and spoke, pronouncing as fast as a cannonball. The natives on the canoe also answered him in the same language. We got into the canoe together, and a native immediately picked up a big bamboo tube, opened the plug, and brought it to me. What was contained in the bamboo tube was the milky white elixir! During these two weeks, I saw my friend drinking the elixir every day. He carefully took a sip or two at a time and never drank too much. Try it, I didn't ask him for a drink, but I couldn't help thinking that he was a rather small guy. At this time, a large tube of elixir was delivered to me, and I naturally wanted to drink some. I smiled at the native who handed me the bamboo tube to express my thanks. Then, my friend suddenly yelled and snatched my bamboo tube away. He snatched it so suddenly that the bamboo tube More than half of the milky white juice splashed out! He stared at me and shook his head desperately! What he meant was very obvious, he didn't want me to drink the elixir. At this time, I couldn't help feeling very angry, he refused to let me drink the medicine of immortality in the bamboo tube hanging from his waist, and I would not ask him for it, but even if someone else gave me a drink, he would snatch it away Go, this is going too far. The reason why I was annoyed at this moment was of course because I knew that this white juice was the real medicine of immortality. I had seen the miraculous effect of this white juice with my own eyes. Of course I wanted to drink some, so that I could also You can live forever without fear of gunshot wounds! So I couldn't help but uttered an angry cry, and stretched out my hand, waiting to snatch back the snatched bamboo tube.But at that moment, the native suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed me hard! That native's sudden attack on me was also unexpected.I had already regarded him as my friend, so of course I never thought that he would turn his back as soon as he said so, so when he pushed towards me, I couldn't stand still and fell backwards, almost falling out of the boat. At this moment, the native also made a strange noise. While shouting, he waved his hands, as if he was yelling something to the natives on the same boat. Only then did I realize that this native, my friend, was Among his clansmen, his status is quite high. For while he was waving his arms and delivering his speech like a radical leader, the rest of the crowd listened to him in silence. The canoe was still rowing forward, when suddenly, the sound of huge rumbling waves suppressed the native man's words. The native seemed to have finished speaking, he pointed at me, and before I understood what happened, a huge wave and the four natives rushed towards me together! If the four natives jumped on me first, then I could have bounced them away. However, it was that huge wave that jumped first! That wave was so high and so powerful that in an instant, the calm blue water turned gray-black with white foam, like thousands of mad wolves, rushing towards me. Of course, the wave didn't hit me alone, but the whole canoe. In less than a tenth of a second, the canoe completely sank into the sea! This sudden change made me dizzy, and for a while, I didn't know what to do. At this moment, the four natives also rushed forward. They pressed my body tightly, each of their arms wrapped around a part of my body, and their other hand seemed to be grasping the canoe. I didn't struggle because I knew they weren't malicious. The four of them clung to my body tightly, just to keep my body from leaving the canoe.But in fact, even if they are malicious, I have no way to struggle, because at this time, the waves rushing over are too urgent. I just felt my body shrink suddenly, as small as a peanut, being thrown up and down continuously. This feeling of extreme dizziness lasted for half an hour, and I couldn't know whether I had vomited during this half hour, because I was already in a semi-conscious state! I have lived in the sea for quite a long time, but this time the wind and waves were so strong that every wave was like pulling your internal organs out of your body, which was unbearable. When I finally woke up again, I only felt that I was still bouncing up and down, but at least I felt that my body was no longer being held tightly by someone. My hands moved, and suddenly, I hand, touched the soil! For a person who has experienced such a big storm, suddenly his hands touched the soil. The joy is really indescribable. I held the soil tightly with both hands, straightened my body, and sat down stand up. In that instant, my feeling of dizziness disappeared without a trace.When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was green, and I was on the beach of a very beautiful island. That piece of emerald green is sea water, which is so calm that one almost doubts that it is a piece of still green jade. However, looking forward, one can see a gray-black fringe beyond the calm sea water, and that fringe is constantly rolling and changing. I immediately understood that that was the place where I encountered the storm just now. Around this small island, there are huge waves all year round, and there is only a very short period of time in a year when the waves calm down. That's why this small island will become a paradise. I turned my eyes back from a distance, and saw many natives standing beside me. They all looked similar, but I could still recognize my friend. He was walking towards me when I recognized him, and for a second I really didn't know whether to remain his friend or ignore him, because in a canoe he would use Such unusual means against me. The native came straight to my side, pointed forward, and motioned for me to stand up and walk forward. When I stood up, my body swayed, and the native came to support me again. It seems that he is still very friendly to me.Naturally, I won't turn my face, but since I came to this island, I must drink that white juice! I followed the few natives and walked forward together. There are not many trees on the island. As Luo Zhiqian said, most of the island is full of rocks.However, the rocks on the island are not only weird in shape, but also very beautiful in color, which makes the whole island look like a fairyland in imagination.The most abundant on the island are huge bamboos. But the thing that looks like bamboo is actually not real bamboo. Because I saw that they bloomed a kind of gray-white flowers and formed numerous fruits, which were naturally the raw materials for making the elixir. I started from the beach and stopped in a valley. I reckon that the plant I saw could produce enough fruits for the people on the island to enjoy forever. And the natives on the island almost use it as their only food and drink. Each of them has a big bamboo tube hanging from their waist, and they open the bamboo tube from time to time to drink a few mouthfuls of the juice in the bamboo tube. I was arranged in a room made of bamboo, which was tall and spacious. Lying in the room, I felt very cool.After a while, someone brought me a large plate of food. I saw that the food on the plate was almost all fish, shrimps, and a very delicious and fat mussel. I took the opportunity to point to the waist of the native man, which meant that he should give the things in the bamboo tube to him. I drink a little. However, the native immediately dodged and fled away, and immediately exited the bamboo hut. His actions made me very angry, and I couldn't help but yelled and rushed out. As soon as I rushed out of the bamboo house, I saw my friend running towards me in a hurry. What surprised me was that he was holding a submachine gun in his hand. At that moment, I really didn't know what happened, I quickly retreated into the bamboo hut, but the native man walked in immediately, but his subsequent actions made me very relieved.Because he put the submachine gun in his hand on the ground, and made a gesture to me, signaling me to move the gun. I leaned over and picked up the submachine gun and checked it out. The gun, clearly dated from World War II, was still in perfect condition, and it still had bullets, so it was ready to fire.The native pointed to the gun and made several gestures to me.He was asking if I would use the gun. I nodded, and the native cheered up. I still don't know what his intention is, but at this moment, I heard the sound of drums, and when I looked outside, I saw many natives rushing out of the house and gathered in the open space in front of the house among. The native squatted down on the ground, and drew a fish-like thing on the ground with a bamboo branch. The thing was obviously under the sea. He also drew two people in the thing. They were all holding guns, and then he drew another island, indicating that these two people would come to the island.And among these two people, one is a fat man with a big belly. When he first drew the fish-shaped thing, it was very difficult to understand what he wanted to express, but now, it is no longer obvious. What he drew was a small submarine, and the big belly , of course it was Poggin. His whole meaning became very easy to understand. He meant that Po Jin and Luo Zhiqian would come to their island in a submarine with guns in hand! And he wants me to pick up this submachine gun, and I can't understand it anymore, he wants me to deal with Bo Jin and Luo Zhiqian! After I fully understood what he meant, I nodded, pointed to the two people he drew, and raised my gun again, indicating that I can deal with them both. But at this time, new doubts inevitably arose in my mind. Because the people on this island are all drinking the elixir every day. Of course, they have extremely magical powers and are not afraid of being shot. Then, why are they afraid that Bo Jin and Luo Zhiqian will come with guns? Luo Zhiqian had lived on this island for several years, and the natives on the island should of course know that Luo Zhiqian is not afraid of being shot. Why did the natives want me to use a submachine gun to deal with the two of them? I raised the question in my heart, and it took quite a long time for the other party to understand the question in my heart. And when I finally understood this, the native took my arm and walked out. We walked out of the bamboo house and found that many people were sitting in the open space, and the drums were still beating slowly and rhythmically.I took a look, and there are about 300 natives. Indeed, among them, there is no old man or child, and everyone seems to be in their thirties. When I saw this situation, I suddenly thought of something in my heart: that white juice is indeed a very effective anti-aging agent, which can prolong people's life indefinitely, but , it can be said with certainty that it will inevitably destroy human reproductive ability, otherwise, the population of this island should not be 300, but should be 3 million.And there are no children on the island at all. Doesn't this prove that the people on the island have completely lost their ability to reproduce? While thinking, I was pulled by the native and walked forward. I don't know where the natives are going to drag me. We walked for a long time before we came to a hill.On the top of the mountain, there are four square big stones, which form a square, and on top of that square, there is another stone slab covering it. The native came to the side of the boulder, stretched out his hand, lifted the stone, waved to me, and motioned me to go forward to see the things surrounded by the four boulders. My heart was full of doubts, but I still walked over. When I came to the side of the big stone, I couldn't help being stunned.The things I saw were by no means unusual, but they should never have appeared on this island. I saw a dead man!
