Stranded on a deserted island with my beautiful boss, who used to make me kneel to do my daily work, now I want you kneeling before me, serving me...
...These colorful murals clearly depict some very ancient stories.
The story is simple and fast-paced. My understanding is that there were some people on this island who discovered a gold mine.
Their leaders mined these gold mines and amassed enormous wealth, but after the mining began, a conflict broke out among them.
It was probably due to a dispute over the spoils that they split into two groups, fought each other, and ended up with some dead and others injured, causing their group to fall apart.
Many years later, to prevent such a thing from happening again, their descendants worked together to hide the gold mine.
The last of these patterns depicts the gold mine disappearing into the sea.
After seeing all this, Yang Rui asked in surprise, "Could it be that this gold mine is in the sea?"
Hearing Yang Rui's doubts, Lin Xubo quickly shook his head with disdain: "How is that possible? How could a gold mine be in the sea? If it really was in the sea, how did they manage to dig it out? I think they're just lying, afraid that someone else will come and find that gold mine and cause more trouble!"
I was unsure what to do for a moment, but my mind wasn't on the gold mine; all my attention was on how to leave this deserted island.
After all, I don't want my woman, nor do I want myself, to live like this inexplicably in this godforsaken place.
If I have to spend the rest of my life here, I think there will come a day when I can't take the pressure anymore and I'll go crazy.
Wang Ping stared at the murals silently, seemingly lost in thought.
Behind them were a few foreigners, also peeking around, I wonder if they could understand anything.
I sighed. "Forget it, since there aren't any of their companions here, let's not waste any more time here. We should go out now and continue searching for those people."
Lin Xubo was clearly not giving up, but since I had already said so, he could only secretly memorize the location of this place and plan to come back later.
I don't want to stop him from doing this; after all, everyone has their own ambitions.
When he was working at the company, Lin Xubo was a very profit-driven person. When he arrived on this deserted island and learned that there was such a large area of gold on the island, he must have been itching to go and find the gold.
We carefully emerged from the cave and continued on our way.
We've gone some more, I don't know how far. The sky is gradually getting dark, and a cool breeze keeps blowing, making me get goosebumps.
Wang Ping was a little worried: "I think we should camp here, set up a campfire around here, and then no one should sleep tonight. Let's wait until we get through this night before continuing our search."
I know what Wang Ping is worried about. After all, our camp had just suffered heavy damage, and it was really unexpected for us to come out and look for these foreigners.
If it weren't for the attacks from the indigenous people tonight, things would be fine. But if these indigenous people come and start a fight with us today, we would be completely defenseless.
No one knows what might happen then.
I'm also very worried about the camp.
If something happens at the camp, I'm afraid I'll never be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life.
Given the current weather, there's clearly no way to go back, so we'll just have to camp here for the time being.
We immediately gathered a lot of dry branches nearby, then built a campfire, and sat around it in a circle, keeping watch for any movement around us.
Fortunately, no danger was found throughout the night.
The next day, just as dawn broke, we found some fish and shrimp on the nearby beach. After a quick breakfast, we continued our journey.
We walked until the afternoon before finally finding some footprints in a nearby team.
The footprints were clearly messy, suggesting a large number of people.
Those foreigners were very excited and even shouted a few times.
Yang Rui and I, the translators, said that they were certain the footprints belonged to their companion.
But I can't be sure, because on this deserted island, besides us, these foreigners, and Xiao He and his group, my feelings for Yang Rui have long since faded.
If we were to run into Xiao He and his group, it wouldn't be advantageous for us either.
Moreover, I don't know what Yang Rui's mindset is right now, so I can't help but want to distance myself from him.
The foreigners wanted to go into the woods to search, but I stopped them.
“These footprints look very messy. If they really are your companions, then they can’t stay in the woods forever. After all, the danger in the woods is much greater than on the beach. If they had any brains, they would know that staying in the woods is not a long-term solution. So let’s wait on the beach for a while. If they still haven’t come out after a while, then send two people to look for them. In short, none of us can go together.”
Although the foreigners were anxious, after listening to what I said, they felt that what I said made sense. So we immediately stood on the beach, keeping a watchful eye on the surrounding movements while keeping our eyes fixed on the woods.
Not long after, a series of noises came from the woods, and then I saw some foreigners running out of there one by one, looking very frightened.
The foreigners standing behind me could no longer contain their excitement and quickly went out to greet me. The group of foreigners were clearly very excited to be reunited.
They hugged each other and wept bitterly, which shows that foreigners really like to show their emotions.
Seeing how happy they were, I remained vigilant, keeping an eye on what was behind me.
Fortunately, by the time they calmed down, there was nothing else left in the woods behind them.
But after looking around, I realized that these foreigners were missing a lot of people.
After standing next to me and looking at the number of foreigners, Wang Ping whispered, "They're missing three women here."
I had already pointed out that the number of people was incorrect, but I didn't expect that it was the women who were missing, because I don't usually pay much attention to them.
He nodded quickly to Wang Ping, then looked at the crowd again carefully. Indeed, three women were missing. Could it be that these three women had been murdered?
Thinking about it, I really feel sorry for them. But then ** came over and whispered, "They were talking about something being lost or stolen. Those three women probably aren't dead. They were probably robbed by someone."
Lin Xubo jumped out from behind the crowd, looked at me, then at Wang Ping, and whispered to us, "I told you, these locals are just kidnapping these female colleagues to take them back and reproduce. These foreigners can barely protect themselves, let alone those women. So I think these three foreign women must have been kidnapped by those locals. Go ask them if you don't believe me!"
But before I could ask, those foreigners had already come up to us with long faces, each of them talking at once. I turned to look at Yang Rui, who nodded solemnly.
"It is indeed as Lin Xubo said. That night, they were attacked by the indigenous people, and the few foreign women who were from the backward area were taken away..."
