Take the Fox Fairy To Catch the Ghost

Chapter 106: There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain

As the saying goes, ‘to be too esteemed for virtue, the second is to repay, courtesy is to communicate, but not to come, not to be indecent; to come and not to go, it is also not to be courteous’. We never thought that just two boxes of ordinary biscuits would ease the tension between us and the boy, and now he even wants us to enjoy a wild meal.

Since our departure from Humen, we have all eaten instant canned dry food, and the oil and water in our stomachs have long been squeezed out. At the moment, Jiang Yilong and I joined hands to help, and came to Xigou to clean the five internal organs of the hare and the big blue snake.

"You're really good at it. I didn't spend much time before and after going out and coming back. I just got these guys out."

"He can't survive on the island alone if he doesn't have the skills."

"It's not easy. If it were me, I'm afraid I would not have lived in this world long ago."

It is very possible that the child is born dumb, but he has a normal hearing. Hearing our talk, his face shows a somewhat triumphant look. Just after we were cleaned and ready to return to the ruined temple, he did not know where he went to get a few wild fruits, tinkered with them, and poured juice all over the game meat. Then, there was a loud voice in his mouth and gestures in his hands.

We watched it for a long time, and through his gestures, it probably meant that the meat roasted in this way was more delicious. Actually, I was always thinking about eating a game meal just now. The seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are all lacking. The taste of the naturally grilled game may not be satisfactory.

Back at the ruined temple, we hurried to make a fire and barbecue. In less than half an hour, the smell of the meat had diffused and made us salivate. After more than half a day in the torment of being able to eat and not being able to eat, the child finally beckoned to us.

After we tasted the first bite of meat, all of us no longer cared about what we were eating, gobbled it up, and feasted on it.

"This is the best barbecue I have ever had."

"Hey, me too, me too."

"I haven't eaten enough yet."

"No, there is only one last piece left, here you are."

In front of our children, we pride ourselves on being civilized people in society, but in the face of food, we can be said to be all beings, ugly, which inevitably makes the children laugh.

"We have seen each other for a long time, and now we have eaten the delicious food you sent. We are friends even if we know each other. My name is Roland, her name is Zheng Jie, this one is..." Waiting for Roland to name us one by one. After that, she looked at the child again and said: "Although you can't speak, you should also have your name. We can never feed you and call you. If it doesn't exist, we can just give it to you. You can take one."

The child’s gestures were so impressive that we couldn’t see what he was trying to say. The child was anxious. Soon, he suddenly flashed his inspiration, ran to take the bow and arrow, held the bow in his hand and gestured for a long time, see We still didn't understand, we took out two more arrows, deliberately broke one, pointed at the unbroken arrow and made gestures with the bow.

Fu Zhiwen said: "Your surname is Gong? Although there is no such surname among the surnames, the folks did have this surname. As far as I know, during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Gongsun Yingqi in Lu State, who used to attack with the monarch of Lu State. Song and Zheng made great contributions later and they were named the doctors of the State of Lu for generations. Yingqi is called Shu Gong, and his descendants have their ancestors as their surnames, so they have the Gong surname."

The child shook his head and quickly pointed to the bow and another arrow.

Bai Ling said: "He deliberately took out two arrows just now, broke one of them, picked the unbroken one, and pointed the bow again and again. Could it be that your surname is Zhang?"

The child made two loud noises and nodded.

The child wants to make a gesture again, but halfway through the gesture, we don't know how to make the next gesture so that we can understand it. Seeing his difficulty, I said, "You don't have to make gestures anymore. If you don't mind, let's call you Xiao Zhang."

He thought about it and nodded with a sigh.

I said, "Xiao Zhang, did you grow up here since childhood?"

Xiao Zhang nodded.

"Why do the others keep you here, where are your parents?"

Faced with these three questions about Zheng Jie, Xiao Zhang thought for a long time, and finally used a very troublesome process to give us gestures. Through his sign language, the information we got was probably a long time ago. The people here all left for some reason. At that time, his parents should have been dead in an accident, leaving him alone and helpless. Others didn’t want to add anything. This burden left him alone on the island to fend for himself.

We were worried for a while, and we knew too much from Xiao Zhang, and the more we felt that it was a miracle that he could survive. It's fair to say that God opened his eyes, besides depriving him of the ability to speak, his body is very healthy.

Fu Zhiwen said: "By the way, Xiao Zhang, have you seen five strangers on the island more than ten days ago? They are about 30 to 50 years old."

Xiao Zhang hesitated for a while, as if he didn't understand, Fu Zhiwen said it again, and he shook his head.

"Have you not seen it?" I said.

"It's impossible. When we were on the boat, the spirit showed us carefully, and they all landed on the island smoothly." Jiang Yilong said.

"It's also possible that Xiao Zhang stayed here except for hunting every day. This island is so big that you may not encounter it." Zheng Jie looked at Xiao Zhang and said, "Is that so, Xiao Zhang?"

Xiao Zhang nodded.

After eating the game, we can see from the information we learned from Xiao Zhang, the five people at the time should have staggered the time with Xiao Zhang, and they also found the location of the ancient tomb. In the end, the four of them lost the information. One person smoothly brought back a piece of Xiaojinren back to Chongqing.

Thinking of this, I suddenly said: "Old Fu, this is not right."

Fu Zhiwen said: "What's wrong?"

I said: "Ten miles and eight miles away, I believe that I may be able to leave the island and return home with the memory fragments left before. However, here is so far from Chongqing, the situation of the person is so bad, how did he go back? "

Roland said: "I know about this. At that time, the five of them were planning to go to the ghost island and it was also arranged by the curator Li who ordered me. I sent the five to the island where we landed before, and I had an agreement with them. One week later, I met them on the small island. However, the agreed time limit came and I did not see them. Later, I finally said that the ship owner asked him to bring the ship closer to the ghost island. When we were in the sea, we found a kayak on the sea, and inside it happened to be the man named Feng Zigang. His situation was very bad at the time, and I had no other way, so I had to send him back first. Afterwards, Li Guan Chang sent him back to Chongqing."

I said: "But it's still a bit strange. Since Feng Zigang has lost his habit and is crazy, how could he leave the ghost island in a kayak by himself."

Jiang Yilong said: "I am afraid that the answer will only be known if the mental illness surnamed Feng is completely cured."

We found that there are people living on the island before, but we didn't expect that the Xiao Zhang we found was not only a child, but also a dumb who couldn't speak. The most regrettable thing was that he was the only one on the entire island. From this point of view, we seem to be back to the original point on the question of the ancient tomb. I am afraid that we can only know the answer after searching the entire ghost island carpet.

"It's still early, or let's move things here. After all, it's almost the center of the island. During the next period of time, it will be less troublesome for us."

"However, there is a master here after all, and it seems impolite to break in rashly. Now I want to move here, I have to ask Xiao Zhangtong to disagree."

As soon as Fu Zhiwen finished speaking, Xiao Zhang would come over. He patted Roland on the shoulder and made a few gestures. Seeing his gestures and expression on his face, he was very happy that we moved to live with him in this ruined temple.

Roland touched Xiao Zhang’s head and said, "Thank you, we won’t worry about not having any delicious food in the next few days. By the way, Xiao Zhang, outside of the island, the world is like a child as old as you. Not only do you enjoy being under the care of your parents, but you also receive a civilized education. Compared with them, you are living in hell. Sister Luo has a suggestion that when we finish our work here, you and How about we leave here together?"

Xiao Zhang did not respond, just stared at Roland with a pair of eyes.

Roland said again: "Don't worry, we can find a way to help you then."

Xiao Zhang hesitated for a while, and finally nodded and smiled shyly.

Maybe it was Roland's remark that moved Xiao Zhang, or Xiao Zhang really regarded us as friends. Not only did he agree to let us move to the ruined temple, but he also took the initiative to help. Regardless of his age, his brutality is greater than me and Jiang Yilong, and the materials on his shoulders are heavier than the two of us.

This time, for a few more hours, seeing that the sky was already dark, Xiao Zhang took a bow and arrow to hunt alone. Now he not only wants to fill his stomach, but also takes into account the share of the six of us. The hunting time may be much longer than he usually alone. Of course, since Xiao Zhang treated each other so sincerely, we would naturally not be so unkind. We quickly took out all the canned meat biscuits in our backpacks.

It was another meaty meal, but Xiao Zhang was already tasteless, so he was interested in these canned biscuits.

Fu Zhiwen took out the sketch and looked at it for a long time, then sighed and prepared to throw the sketch into the fire. This sketch was originally useless and burned when it was burned. We don't feel a pity anyway. However, Xiao Zhang stopped him and gestured for a while, meaning to show him. Fu Zhiwen didn’t care at first, so he handed the sketch to Xiao Zhang. When he saw Xiao Zhang staring at the sketch for a long time, Fu Zhiwen seemed a little excited and said, "Xiao Zhang, don’t you recognize this place? Got it."

At first, a few of us were ready to go to sleep. Suddenly listening to Fu Zhiwen said such a sentence, we immediately got up, focusing on Xiao Zhang alone. Xiao Zhang looked a little hesitant, looked at us, looked at the sketch again, and then nodded.
