The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Before setting foot on the island, Schiller saw the island from a distance. This island in the sea, which is close to Mexico, is medium in size, but it is completely incomparable with the surrounding large islands.

But this island has a very big feature, that is, it is very far away from all the surrounding islands, at least not accessible by humans by swimming.

This can truly be called an island in the sea, and like other tropical islands, it has white sandy beaches, coconut trees, seabirds flying around the island, and most importantly, hot sunshine everywhere.

The tropics have almost no four seasons, so even though it is only April, the venomous sun is already hanging high above the head, bringing overheated heat to all creatures here. Walking on the beach and stepping into the tropical jungle, Arthur, some He looked enviously at Schiller holding a black umbrella.

Now he understands what the professor's umbrella is for. It can not only prevent rain, but also provide shade.

But obviously, the umbrella that Schiller is holding is a single umbrella, even if Schiller is willing to let Arthur go under the umbrella, this umbrella cannot cover two people, so Arthur stopped walking Yes, he said: Professor, wait for me a moment, I will make an umbrella.

Schiller stopped, not understanding what he was going to do, Arthur ran to the side of a tree in three steps and two steps.

This tree grows very strangely. It is not tall, but its roots are relatively thick. There are many leaves like palm-leaf fans growing on it. The overall shape is round. Each leaf is composed of many green strips. Arthur climbed The tree said, This should be a palm tree, but I don't know what species it is.

He climbed up the tree, picked a few leaves, smoothed out the green strips, and started weaving.

Arthur, who looks tall and burly, has excellent weaving skills. He weaves three cattail fan leaves together to form a straw hat with a very strange shape. He said: The children of Bruce Haven This skill can be used, in addition to palm leaves, dried seaweed and bark that can be cut into fibers can also be used.

Arthur put the hat on his head, and the two continued to walk, farther and farther away from the beach. The landscape here was more like a tropical rainforest, with very dense plants and tall trees, and the leaves of many trees almost covered them. Sunlight reduces the heat slightly, but the more deadly humidity makes people's skin feel very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, after Schiller came on vacation, he changed out of the conservative suit, shorts, T-shirt and short-sleeved jacket, and he was quite able to adapt to the environment here.

Not to mention Arthur, he took off his shirt directly, and returned to his posture of fishing on a boat. He tore off a fern and used the root as an expedition stick. go.

At the highest point of the island, there is a cliff, and walking down the gentle slope of the cliff, you can see a clear gurgling stream, various plants that are not commonly seen in gardening flowers and plants, in small cracks in the stone, It grows very lushly.

Between the branches of the bush, a bird with colorful feathers flapped its wings, jumped to another bush, and pecked at the lower part of the stamen with its beak, as if looking for fruit.

Suddenly, with a sound of swish, a stream of light flew past, startling the birds and butterflies in the bushes, and with a sound of snap, the arrow was inserted into the ground, and a large lizard beside it ran into the bushes in an instant Among the bushes, there was no figure.

There was a sigh in the distance, as if he was disappointed in his failed hunt this time.

The leaf-wrapped shoes stepped into the flowing water of the brook, holding the arrow with one hand, trying to pull it out of the soft soil, but unfortunately, the arm exerted a little strength, and the stone arrowhead was not strong. It fell off the arrow shaft.

The person holding the arrow shaft stood up. His upper body was wearing a strange dress, which was mostly made of palm leaves, but the palm leaves were fixed with white cloth. The cloth texture was very delicate, and it should be cut from a shirt. And judging from the softness, it should be an expensive shirt.

The lower body is a pair of shorts cut from suit trousers, the shoes and calves are tied with palm leaves, and the soles are wrapped with thick, green strips, which look like the kind of cattail leaf that Arthur used to make hats , are from the same plant.

Looking up, he has a slightly savage beard, and his eyes are covered by a leaf.

He wore a very rough hat made of plantain leaves on his head, and the upper half of his face was completely covered under the leaves, but he could still see sunburns on his lips and neck. The traces of skin exfoliation are clearly visible.

He tried hard to break the shaft of the arrow, but he couldn't break it, because he was very weak.

Under the clothes made of palm leaves and coconut leaves, a white strip of cloth was wrapped from his left shoulder to his armpit, and then wrapped around his chest several times. There was still blood on it. Obviously, this person had just Injured and weak at this time.

Suddenly, his ears moved, he quickly arched his body, got into the bushes, and squatted beside a very vigorous plant. Through the leaves of the plant, he saw two figures walking towards this side Come.

He opened his mouth wide in surprise, and was about to rush out, but he paused for a moment, squatted back, and narrowed his eyes to look at the two people.

Arthur put his feet into the clean stream and washed away the gravel brought from the beach before. He said: The man can persist here for so long, the water source is essential, as long as we go all the way up the stream, we will be able to find it. his tracks.

Schiller didn't refute, but walked farther away from the stream, he looked up and looked forward.

As you go deeper into the rainforest, there are more and more animals of all kinds, such as colorful birds, unnamed frogs, lizards scurrying past your feet, seabirds flying in the sky...

This place is so vibrant, but also very dangerous, the heat and humidity are not the most deadly things here.

Arthur, standing in the middle of the stream, stopped, and said, I heard the cry of a whale...

They narrowed their eyes, concentrated, squatted down, put their hands in the stream, and felt the information from the sea.

Oops, we have to find him quickly, the fish told me that a storm is coming! Arthur's tone became low, and he said: I read in a fishing magazine that storms are frequent in the Caribbean Sea. Fa, here is close to Mexico, and the climate is relatively similar, tropical storms will come at any time...

Schiller's understanding of the storm is probably a little bit of Gotham night rain, but Arthur denied his idea. He said: Tropical storms are completely different from ordinary storms...

Tropical storms are extremely destructive. Everything they pass is a mess. Even if we are not blown away like a tornado and then fall to our deaths, we must be alert to the possible damage caused by the collapsed plants. Danger……

In a storm, even a rolled-up palm leaf can be a deadly knife.

Hearing this, Schiller walked faster than Arthur. Although he would not encounter any danger to his life in the storm, anyone can imagine that once the storm comes, there is no safe shelter. Will be blown like a dog.

Schiller is here for vacation, not to experience the cruelty and ruthlessness of nature. He just wants to find the unlucky guy quickly, repair the ship and leave.

Facts have proved that his idea is very good, but God thinks it is not very good.

In almost a minute, the sky darkened, the scorching sun suddenly disappeared, thick rain clouds covered all the sunlight, thunder came from a distance, and the wind passed through the tall trees, blowing on people When it is on the face, it brings the unique astringent smell of damp soil.

Just when Schiller was about to disperse into a gray fog and start a large-scale investigation, Arthur stopped suddenly and turned to look at a bush beside him. Schiller heard him say: Don't hide, I see you!

do not come!

A figure emerged from behind the bushes, holding a self-made bow and arrow in his hand, with a very crude arrow dangling on it, the arrow on it looked as if it had messed with the arrow shaft, Ready to run away from home.

Schiller looked at the man in front of him. Even though most of his face was covered under the palm leaves, he could still tell that the skin on his exposed hands was very delicate, and his fingers were well maintained. It doesn't look like a fisherman or something, but it looks like a pampered and rich man.

Arthur was surprised by his appearance. After all, he just got a plausible story from the mouth of the fish. He had never seen the real Robinson. Suddenly, Arthur came to his senses and said, No, you calm down. One point, we are here to save you...

But the person on the opposite side didn't relax their vigilance at all, and still pointed their bows at the two of them, saying, You guys are the accomplices of the previous group, right?

Relax, don't be nervous. Schiller stepped forward and said.

The man glanced at Schiller first, but finally fixed his gaze on Arthur, and Arthur said, I'm a fisherman, I'm from Bludhaven...

After finishing speaking, he looked down at himself. His overly burly figure and the tattoos on his arms seemed to tell that he was not a good person. Arthur sighed, looked at the person opposite and said, Whoever you think Don’t believe me, we are indeed here to save you.”

How did you get here? the man asked.

I came here by boat. Arthur replied, We came to California by plane first, and after getting off the plane in Seaside City, we came here by boat...

The man became even more vigilant, and at the same time he said with some disdain: I sailed here from California, do you think I'm a fool? Do you know how far it is?

Uh... I'm pretty good at sailing. The sea water will help me. Well, you put down your bow and arrow first. The storm is coming. We have to find a shelter quickly, or we will be in danger! Arthur tried hard Communicate with the person opposite, but it can be seen that he is not very good at this job, and the person opposite is becoming more and more vigilant.

Schiller put away the umbrella, poked Arthur with the tip of the umbrella and said, You mentioned on the plane before that besides being able to talk to fish, you have other abilities. Why don't you show them.

Arthur hesitated and said, Actually, I can't control it very well, but...well, you see clearly...

After speaking, Arthur stretched out a hand, closed his eyes, frowned, and tried his best to concentrate. The man opposite him didn't know what he was going to do, so he took a slight step back.

But soon, a scene that surprised him happened. The water in the creek began to slowly float up. A water dragon raised its head from the creek, and then formed a shield around Arthur.

Arthur opened his eyes and exhaled a breath. He waved his hand again, and the shield turned back into ordinary water droplets and fell to the ground.

Feeling the coolness brought by the splashing water droplets, the man opposite finally raised his head, took off the palm leaf hat from his head, looked directly at Arthur and said, Who the hell are you?

Like I said, I'm a fisherman, but I was born to communicate with creatures in the sea. I learned about you from the fish. I'm here to save you...

And Schiller interrupted the conversation between the two of them. He looked up at the sky, where there were dark clouds and lightning flashes, and he said:

Come on, the storm is coming.
