Chapter 344 (1/2)
The area of tubuai island is not large. The total length of the road around the island is only 30 kilometers. Some villages are scattered along the way, including dozens of large families and only three or two wooden houses. Most of these houses face the sea, which reminds people of the warm flowers in spring and the idea of being a happy person from tomorrow.
When passing by the village, someone shouted to the young man driving: ”Hey, qiqika, business is good today!”
The young man laughed and replied, ”yes, yes, it's really good today!”
They don't speak English, but an extremely complex language with a strong accent.
At first, Aoki sounded like Malay, mixed with some French with strange pronunciation, but the most amazing thing was that he understood it.
Of course, these local residents do not expect that guests from distant places will understand this less authentic South Island dialect, so they speak recklessly.
”Where do these pigs come from? Why is there a strange bird on that guy's head?”
”I don't know. It looks like Japanese or Chinese, maybe Mohammed. Who knows!”
……
Qingmu looked at suhuilan and saw her smiling. She didn't know if she understood.
After a small circle on the roundabout road, the car turned into an island path, rugged and bumpy.
When passing a village, someone asked the young man, ”qiqika, where are you taking your guests? There's no way ahead!”
The young man said with a sad face, ”they're going to tabu to find the madman petru.”
The questioner shook his arm and said, ”Oh, madman!”
I don't know whether he is talking about the pirate or whether they are really crazy people who go looking for madmen.
As expected, there was no road ahead. Qiqika could only park the car at the end, then pointed to the jungle in front and said, ”you go up from here. I dare not go forward.”
”How far is it up here?” asked Su Huilan.
Qiqika said, ”it's not far. Through the woods in front, there's a hillside. You can see where petru lives.”
”How do I know you're not lying to us?”
”Oh, I swear to God, he's right there.”
”It's no use swearing. I have to see someone.”
”That madman is full of traps around his house. After he catches you, he will try to torture you and make your life worse than death.”
Su Huilan took out two US dollar bills, shook them in front of qiqika 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 must be returned to me, because this section of the road is only worth fifty dollars.”
Kikika grinned at the money in front of her and said, ”well, well, I'll take you through the woods until I see his house, but I dare not go up the hillside. I advise you not to go up, maybe you will be regarded as prey. You know that on this island, private territory is not infringed. If you break into other people's territory and are killed, you can only admit bad luck.”
