As he spoke, he pushed the two trees around him with his hand. It seemed that he was very satisfied with the distance between the two trees, which were two meters high. He patted the trunk again, and then he took out the hammock from his backpack.
"This kind of place has a lot of insects, snakes and ants crawling at night, so try not to sleep on the ground."
Ding Yiyi's ears heard his words, but at this time her eyes were absorbed in looking at the knife on a fine leaf banyan tree.
The knife is inserted in the middle of the waist of the banyan tree. It has been completely embedded in most of the banyan trees. Human power can't make the knife inserted so deep, so there is only one possibility. More than ten years ago, the knife was inserted in the seedling of the banyan trees. With the growth of the banyan trees, the knife and the banyan trees became one.
Only one part of the blade is completely rusty, covered with moss and black ants. The pattern seems to be similar to Byzantine style. In a word, it is definitely not Chinese style.
"What are you looking at?" Holly came up behind her and saw the knife. His throat turned over. At last, he didn't say anything. He just patted her on the shoulder.
In the evening, they ate compressed biscuits and drank a bottle of milk. The forest was cold and wet at night, but they did not propose to live.
They all know that they may not be alone on this island. Life will not only attract beasts, but also malicious people.
After dinner is not a good dinner, Ding Yiyi climbed on the simple hammock, hammock some small, but enough to carry her weight.
She put her hands in front of her chest and saw the stars through the closed leaves. The sky here is beautiful. The white shining stars are like diamonds on a diamond hairpin. They are dazzling.
Almost to cover the sky banyan at night also quiet down, put away the kind of want to cover the sky arrogance, vaguely, she seems to see a mass of black things dormant in the leaves, what is it? She went to sleep with doubts.
She was awakened by freezing. At five o'clock in the morning, it was so cold that she opened her eyes. The feeling of hanging in the air made her mind return to reality quickly.
Her eyes, still slightly drunk and drowsy, gradually widened, facing up. A dark shadow was smiling at her, and a scream pierced the sky.
"What's the matter?" Holly quickly came to her side, he almost didn't sleep all night, the nerves in his head collapsed tightly, as if on the wind, not easy to wait until the sky is slightly bright, just fell into shallow sleep, immediately awakened by Ding Yiyi's scream.
He didn't get angry, but silently grasped the rope of the hammock, restrained his surprise and a trace of panic from the bottom of his heart.
Among the thick branches of the banyan tree, there is an air dried human body lying face down. His clothes are not rotten yet. It can be seen that they are men's loose shirts with famous sports brand trademarks on them.
The man's hands are hanging down, and the fibrous roots of the banyan tree are integrated. I don't know how long it has been. His skin is wrinkled and swaying with the wind.
Holly looked up at the air dried corpse. Just as she wanted to walk over to have a close look, her sneakers made a crisp sound after stepping on the fallen leaves, like the sound of crisp sugar beans being crushed in her mouth.
He moved his legs carefully, and saw a hand bone covered with yellow dead leaves quietly. There was a kind diamond ring on his empty finger.
"What's going on here?" Ding Yiyi came to him and said with fear.
Holly speechless, quickly tidy up everything, and the scene of the leaves messy, the traces of two people's walk to erase, this way: "there is no turning back, can only move forward."
As they walked forward, the compass didn't work, and they couldn't even see the time accurately in the closed forest. They could only guess what time it was by morning, night, cold and heat.
"This place is so wet and cold at night. Why did the corpse not rot, but dry?" Ding Yiyi said to himself.
In front of the footsteps stopped, Holly suddenly looked up, sure enough, above the two, a palm tree also hung a dry body.
The mummy's back is also stuck with a bow and arrow style stick, and the mummy's chin has been completely removed, and a large spotted spider is making a web on it.
"What do you want to do?" Ding Yiyi watched Holly step on the bark with both feet, holding both sides of the tree trunk with both hands, gritting his teeth and climbing up.
She watched him climb up to the mummy, squat in front of the narrow trunk, not knowing what to look at, and then climb up again.
After a while, she climbed down neatly and jumped down half the distance from the ground.
"Someone deliberately wanted us to see this." He patted the dust on his hands, pointed to the tree trunk not far away, and then pointed back, "not far in front, there are still mummies hanging on the tree, but the strange thing is that mummies are not irregularly distributed, but present a ribbon shape."
He said while hands gesticulation let Ding Yiyi see, "someone use mummy guide."
"What do they want to do?" Ding Yiyi felt cold.
Holly put on her backpack, picked up a wooden stick with a thick wrist from the withered leaf, and handed the hunting knife to Ding Yiyi. "There must be a reason for any existence. Since these mummies want to tell the people on the island something, we just do it."He walked on with firm steps, looking up for the mummy.
Ding Yiyi is about to step forward, the bad feeling of being peeped at suddenly comes back. She lowered her head to listen, and then looked up in the direction of the line of sight.
A thin body quickly hidden in the trees, the action is light, can't hear any foot on the fallen leaves should make a sound, only the dog teeth bound by the red rope on the ankle swayed by.
Is anyone here, a resident? Did they kill those people? Tuan Tuan had no way to answer her doubts. By the time she came back, Holly had gone a long way, and even the sound of her footsteps was blurred.
She hurried to catch up, although the line of sight has disappeared, but she is sure that someone must be watching them.
A fresh wind came, which was totally different from the thick wind in the woods. With the freshness of the sea, she looked up and crossed a crooked neck tree.
Holly is standing in front of her. The stick in his hand has fallen to the ground, which hinders the progress of a group of red ants. The ants are crossing the wood in line with their tentacles, and continue to walk forward bravely.
Their destination is the huge pit in front of them and countless bones piled up in the pit. These bones have existed for many years. Some of them do not have the integrity of human bones at all, and hand bones and foot bones are scattered randomly.
There is also mixed mud and water in the pit, and the top bones seem to have been around for some time. The shoes glued on the thin soles of feet are green cloth shoes popular among educated youth when they went to the countryside.
Just when two people were shocked by the scene in front of them, a bow and arrow that cut through the air flew towards Ding Yiyi's brain.
Holly is quick-sighted, holding Ding Yiyi to hide next to him, arched straight into the place where Ding Yiyi just stood.
It wasn't a bow and arrow, it was a long, thin piece of wood with one end cut so sharp. Soon, another piece of wood flew towards Ding Yiyi.
Holly holding Ding Yiyi rolled to the other side, embarrassed to avoid the wood, but soon, as long as Ding Yiyi stood up, there would be sharp wood flying towards her, as if trying to kill her.
"Run He gave her a push, and apparently found that the weapons fired from behind were aimed at her alone.
Ding Yiyi's eyes with a trace of panic, suddenly screamed, the body as soft as a fallen leaf fell in the grass, face down, do not know life or death.
"Yiyi!" Holly drink, just at this time, the forest came to see the sound of Suo Suo.
First, a thin man came out, who was almost shapeless. He was a man, only about 1.6 meters tall, bent all the time, with a long protruding vertebra behind his waist.
His upper body is naked, and he only draws strange patterns on his navel. His lower body is surrounded by a rag. The texture of the fiber on the rag shows that it's a modern product. It's left by those who broke into the island and were killed. Or what? It's unknown.
Soon, more and more people bared their abdomen and showed their abdominal patterns. They kept coming out of the grass, old or young, but their backs were bent, their tail vertebrae protruded, their face was waxy yellow, and they had no spirit. Only their hunting eyes were carefully staring at the man in front of them.
"Who are you? What do you want to do? Kill us and leave us in this pit? " Holly's palms were sweating, and the next step was the mass grave. He had to keep aiming at his back with the corner of his eye to avoid falling into the dead man's pit.
The men with straw skirts and patterns on their bellies They hold up the sharp wood in their hands, hold their hands high, palm outward, and make a "scolding" sound in their mouth.
"You don't know Chinese? Or English? " Holly tried to ask, but had a little bottom in her heart. This is about a primitive tribe, which regards the world as it was before the opening of a new sea route for centuries. In the future, the civilized people here will be regarded as robbers. They will kill those who come with all kinds of advanced objects that can represent the times. These objects may have become oblique objects in their eyes.
He took a look at Ding Yiyi, who fell in the grass, and felt that he needed to make a quick decision. There was dew in the grass, which was not a good experience for a pregnant woman.
"What do you want?" He said it again in Chinese, then in English, and finally in Italian, but apart from the sound of "scolding", the aborigines did not utter any other words with language symbols.
All of a sudden, the voice of "scolding" changed into another kind of voice that could not be felt, just like the "grunting" voice coming out of the throat when drinking water from the tree wrasse.
The cautious eyes of the aborigines began to change slightly. They "yelled" harder, and then, centered on an angle, they spread out to the side automatically, and their backs seemed to be more hunched.
It was a woman, still topless, a little shorter than these dwarfs. It was estimated that she was only 1.4 meters tall, and her tail vertebrae protruded more severely, just like a piece more.
