Chapter 268 Cremation
Chapter 268 Cremation
Wang Yuan took Li Lili to the beach. Li Lili hadn't eaten since yesterday afternoon, and she was frightened and very weak.
Wang Yuan stretched out his hand to hold Li Lili's hand. Li Lili felt the warmth from her hand, and her heart settled down, allowing Wang Yuan to hold her.
When she reached the top of the mountain, Li Lili was too tired to walk.
Seeing her panting, Wang Yuan knew that she was exhausted from not eating for a long time, so he said, "Lili, let me carry you."
Li Lili nodded, Wang Yuan carried her on his back, glanced at the corpse on the ground, sighed, turned and walked towards the beach.
Looking at the craters along the way, the two of them didn't speak, and their hearts were very heavy.
On the beach, Li Lili fell asleep on Wang Yuan's back.
Wang Yuan had no choice but to call softly: "Lili, Lili, we are here."
"Oh." Li Lili opened her beautiful eyes, leaving the back that made her feel very safe, feeling a little disappointed in her heart.
Wang Yuan pushed the rubber boat into the sea, and the two rowed to the side of the cruise ship to fix the rubber boat.
Li Lili climbed onto the cruise ship and looked at everything she was familiar with, tears welling up in her eyes.
Zhang Lanfang and his daughters surrounded her. Seeing Li Lili's haggard appearance, Ren Yuanyuan asked, "Lili, what happened?"
"Woooo..." It's okay not to ask, but when I asked, I couldn't help crying, as if a child who had been separated for many years suddenly saw a relative.
"What's wrong? Lili, is someone bullying you? Tell me so I don't beat him to death." After speaking, Ren Yuanyuan looked at Wang Yuan suspiciously.
Li Lili shook her head, sobbed and said, "No, Xiao Sun was taken away by pirates."
"what?"
"Captain, what happened?"
Wang Yuan simply told them about the matter.
The girls looked shocked, and Zhang Lanfang said, "Captain, what should we do? We can't leave Xiaosun behind."
"Don't worry, I will find a way. Go and get Lili something to eat. She didn't eat anything last night. Also, make some breakfast for the natives."
"OK."
Wang Yuan went to the bridge to find the nautical chart, spread it out, and studied it for a while.
Ren Yuanyuan came in and said, "Captain, let's go eat some food. First, I made some noodles for the natives."
Not yet. "
Wang Yuan put away the nautical chart and said, "Okay."
When he came to the restaurant, Jiang Yan was distributing meals to everyone. Zhang Lanfang said: "Captain, Lili is going to rest after eating. I made two pots of rice for the aborigines, but it's still not ready."
"Well, let's call the natives over after we finish eating."
After they finished their meal in a hurry, Wang Yuan stood up and said, "Sister Fang, I'm going to visit the indigenous people. You can wait on the boat."
"Why don't we go and have a look together."
"It's already in ruins, and many people died. There is nothing to see. If you want to go, you can go alone."
Ren Yuanyuan said: "Forget it, I'd better not go."
Zheng Liwan said, "I'm not going either."
Unexpectedly, the two most curious people would not go.
Zhang Lanfang thought for a while and said, "Captain, Xiaoyan and I will go over there, and see if we can help them."
"All right."
Zhang Lanfang said: "Yuanyuan, Xiao Zheng, after the meal is ready, move to the deck, and help move to the shore when the natives come over."
"it is good."
Wang Yuan took Zhang Lanfang and Jiang Yan to the aboriginal village, and saw a dozen large fires lit around the dragon blood tree, and the corpses of the aborigines were cremated on the fire, and the remaining dozen or so aboriginals knelt Weeping in front of the fire.
Seeing Wang Yuan and the others approaching, Dahei said, "My lord, as long as the aborigines die, they will be cremated, and the ashes will be buried under the dragon's blood tree. It can be said that this dragon's blood tree was raised by the aborigines. The dragon blood tree is also a symbol of the spirit of these indigenous people."
Wang Yuan nodded, lit a cigarette, looked at everything in front of him, and sighed faintly: "Oh! The former paradise has become a purgatory, maybe there is really no paradise in the world."
Wang Yuan and the others watched quietly until the fire was extinguished and the aborigines got up. Ah Wei said a few words to the dozen or so aborigines.
The aborigines circled around the dragon's blood tree and began to dig pits, even the children participated, and all the aborigines dug with bare hands.
The four of Wang Yuan hurriedly found some wood and iron plates in the ruins and took them, hoping that the aborigines would use tools to dig them, but the aborigines refused, and they also politely refused to go up to help.
Seeing that several of their children were bleeding from grinding their hands, Zhang Lanfang and Jiang Yan couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to think about it.
Let them rest, but they all have firm eyes, shaking their heads and refusing.
Fortunately, the sandy soil there was relatively soft, and it didn't take long for the natives to dig a not-too-deep trench under the dragon's blood tree.
Only then did the natives push the piles of ashes into the ditch, which was covered with a shallow layer of sand.
Awei spoke a few words with the natives, then turned around and led the natives towards the lake.
Wang Yuan and the others followed, and when they arrived at the lake, they looked at the waterfall. The steaming mist formed a rainbow in the sky. The scenery here is really beautiful. A blessed land, a water curtain and a cave to the sky", away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this place is definitely a holy place for leisure and health preservation, but it is a pity that it was ruined by those vicious pirates.
Awei led the crowd to walk south along the lake. After walking not far, they saw a piece of land that had just been dug up. Several children said something to Awei.
Awei gestured to Wang Yuan, and Wang Yuan understood that this was the potatoes that Xiaosun helped the aborigines grow here.
Next to this field, a large field of Chaotian pepper was planted. The natives stepped forward to pick off the ripe ones, and then walked back.
Under the dragon blood tree, each aborigine put down two peppers, and finally all the aborigines knelt down to salute under the leadership of Awei.
Wang Yuan walked over, gestured to Awei, and expressed to her that the meal has been prepared, and the aborigines should go to the beach to eat.
After all, the indigenous women and children hadn't eaten for a long time, and they were already hungry, Awei nodded in agreement.
Then everyone walked to the seaside together.
When they arrived at the beach, Wang Yuan and others used rubber boats to transport the food to the beach, and Zhang Lanfang and Jiang Yan helped the aborigines serve the food on the dining plate.
Dahei also sat down with the natives and started eating.
The aborigines, especially the children, had never eaten such a delicious meal, and they all came over to refill the rice several times, and the two big pots of rice were quickly eaten up.
Zhang Lanfang and Jiang Yan packed up the tableware and brought the medicine kit to help disinfect and bandage the indigenous people with injured hands.
Wang Yuan and Dahei spread out the nautical chart, smoked cigarettes and discussed rescue Xiaosun.
Zhang Lanfang and Jiang Yan came over after finishing their work, and Wang Yuan said: "Sister Fang, according to the locals, the pirates came from the southeast. Look, there is an island in the southeast of us, and it is not small. The pirates must be there."
