The area of ​​Tubuai Island is small, and the road around the island is only 30 kilometers long. There are scattered villages along the way, with dozens of large households and only three or two wooden houses. Most of these houses face the sea, which reminds people of the warmth of spring and the idea of ​​being a happy person from tomorrow on.

When passing by the village, someone greeted the driving lad loudly: "Hey, Kichika, today's business is good!"

The young man laughed and responded: "Yeah, yeah, today is really good!"

They didn't speak English, but an extremely heterogeneous language with a strong accent.

At first, Aoki sounded like Malay, with some strange pronunciation of French mixed in between, but the most amazing thing was that he understood it.

Of course, these local residents would not expect that guests from far away would understand this less authentic Austronesian dialect, so they speak unscrupulously.

"Where do these pigs come from? Why does that guy have a strange bird on his head?"

"I don't know, it looks like a Japanese or a Chinese, maybe Mohammed, who knows!"

...

Aoki looked at Su Huilan and saw that she was smiling but not smiling, and she didn't know if she understood.

After a short half-circle on the road around the island, the car turned into a small road on the island, which was rugged and bumpy.

When passing by a village, someone asked the young man: "Kichika, where are you taking your guests? There is no way ahead!"

The young man said with a weeping face: "They are going to Tabb to find the lunatic Petru."

The questioner shook his arm: "Oh, madman!"

I don't know whether he was talking about the pirate, or that they were really crazy people who were looking for crazy people.

Sure enough, there was no road ahead. Kichika could only park the car at the end, then pointed to the jungle in front and said, "You go up here, I don't dare to go forward."

"How far is it up here?" Su Huilan asked.

Kichika said, "It's not far, through the forest in front, there is a hillside, and you can see where Petru lives when you turn over."

"How do I know you didn't lie to us."

"Oh, I swear to God, he is there."

"It's useless to swear, I must meet people."

"That lunatic is full of traps around his house. After he catches you, he will try to torture you so that you might die."

Su Huilan took out two U.S. bills, swayed in front of Kichika’s eyes and said, "If you don’t take us to the place, the remaining two hundred dollars will be gone, and the one hundred dollars you just collected will have to be paid back. Me, because this section is only worth fifty dollars."

Kichika grinned at the bill in front of her and said, "Okay, okay, I will take you through the woods until I see his house, but I dare not go up that hillside. I advise you not to go up either, saying Maybe you will be treated as prey. You have to know that on this island, your private territory is inviolable. If you break into someone else’s territory, you can only admit that you are unlucky if you are killed."

"Okay, I only want to find Petru, but if you play any tricks..." Su Huilan glanced at Aoki specifically, "My friend is no better than Petru!"

Aoki had to face the floor, pretending to be a cold and mysterious wizard. The crow on his head fully demonstrated its talent for acting. At this time, half spread its wings and stared at Kikika with deep eyes. The sharp beak stretched forward and made a peck at him. Mao blew up, and there was a groaning croak in his throat.

This cry was accompanied by mental power and went straight into the person's subconscious.

Kichika was really frightened, shivering in the hot weather, the sweat on her back soaked her clothes.

"Don't worry... I... I won't lie to you... I will definitely let you see Pe... Petru..." When he was nervous, not only his voice trembled and stammered, but he forgot to use English, but said He started the Austronesian dialect, which he is better at.

Su Huilan smiled and said, "It's pretty much the same."

Kichika walked ahead tremblingly, leading Aoki and Su Huilan into the woods.

This forest is not dense, at least the sun can still shine on the ground in the forest, but it looks very primitive here, with a rotten smell.

Kichika pulled away the branches and vines blocking the front with her hands, muttering something in her mouth as she walked.

Taking this opportunity, Aoki asked Su Huilan if he could understand the native language here.

Su Huilan said: "They speak Polynesian. But this language is very complex, distributed on the islands of the Pacific Ocean, including Polynesia, Hawaii, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc., and the northernmost point extends to Taiwan Province of our country. Such a wide range. It is not accurate to classify them as one language family, but there is indeed a strong correlation between their languages. What we have just heard is the dialects of the Southern Islands in this language family, because Polynesia also has many dialects. People speak French, so they will inevitably mix up some nondescript French words when they speak."

Aoki suddenly admired Su Huilan's erudition in his heart. Although I can understand other people's words, it is a bit inexplicable. First, I don't know when I learned this language. Second, although I understand, I don't understand Su Huilan as thoroughly.

But he didn't tell Su Huilan that he could understand it too, which is really hard to explain. Although Kichika kept a distance from him, she kept murmuring at him and the coal boss on his head. Aoki also pretended not to understand and remained taciturn. In the eyes of others, he was evil. Wizard.

While listening, Su Huilan looked at Aoki from time to time, and laughed secretly.

Kichika avoids some paths that seem to be easy to walk, and instead walks towards densely covered thorns or long grass.

He explained that except for some places on the island for tourists to visit, the places are very primitive, with all kinds of poisonous insects and some poisonous plants. The aboriginal people on the island can easily distinguish these things, but the tourists outside are often caught off guard, sometimes even fatal.

Therefore, most people who travel to the island will organize a group to find a tour guide, who will be responsible for their safety. Kichika is also a tour guide on the island, but he never accepts groups, he only takes in the individual business, so he is free, and sometimes he can earn a lot of tips. He called this personalized service ~lightnovelpub.net~ After passing through a relatively dense section of the forest, the one in front appeared wide open. The tall coconut trees could not block people's sight, and a bare hillside could be seen in the distance. , There was no tree on the slope, only a few rugged rocks, laid there like trenches in the position.

Kichika stretched her finger to the hillside and said, "Turn over there, and it's the place you're looking for."

Su Huilan asked, "What do those stones do?"

Kichika said: "Those are Tabs, the temples set up by the ancestors on the island. Tabs mean taboos. According to the rules, none of us can enter Tab, so I can only bring you here. NS."

Seeing that Su Huilan didn’t seem to want to pay, he walked a few steps to the right, pointing in another direction while walking, and said, “If you must see Petru’s house, then I can only start from Go around Tabb there and take you to take a look, but you still have to come back uphill from here, because Petru occupies a canyon bay with cliffs on both sides, this is the only way to go."

As soon as he said this, Aoki heard a swish, and then with a bang, Kichika fell to the ground.
