robinson crusoe

He also told me that they are all very civilized and upright people, and they are all in danger at present; They have neither.

With weapons, no clothes, no food, the fate is completely in the hands of wild people. They didn't come back

Hope of hometown. So he can guarantee that they will follow me as long as I am willing to save them from the disaster.

Risking his life.

After listening to his promise, I decided to do everything possible to take a risk to save them and want to send the elderly first.

Barbarians and Spaniards crossed the sea to negotiate with them. However, when everything is ready, we will set off.

When they set out, the Spanish suddenly raised their own objections. His opinion is not only cautious.

To, and beyond sincerity, makes me very happy. So I followed his advice and saved his companion.

The plan was delayed for a year and a half. Here's the thing: this Spaniard lived with us for a month.

Yes In this month, I let him see, under the blessing of God, what methods I use to maintain myself.

My own life. At the same time, he also clearly saw how much my grain reserves were. I want these grains.

Of course, people enjoy it, but if we don't practice economy, there won't be enough for the whole family now, because I am now

The number of family members has increased to four. If several of his compatriots come from the other side together, it is definitely not enough.

Food. According to him, there are still fourteen people alive over there. If we want to build a boat to go to America,

How can this food be enough for the whole boat people to eat all the way to a colony in a Christian country? Therefore,

He told me that he thought it best to let him and Friday and his son cultivate more land and try my best to save food.

All the seeds have been planted, all the seeds have been sown, and then we can talk about this problem after another crop has been harvested. So, wait.

After his compatriots came, they had enough food to eat. Because the lack of daily necessities often leads to

Everyone is complaining, or they may think they are out of the fire pit and thrown into the sea.

"You know," he said, "the Israelites were very happy when they were rescued from Egypt, but they lacked noodles in the wilderness.

They even betrayed the God who saved them. "His worry is completely reasonable, and his suggestion.

It is also very good, so I not only appreciate his advice very much, but also am extremely satisfied with his loyalty. what

Yes, the four of us started digging together with those wooden tools. It was taken back in less than a month.

Large tracts of land, just before the sowing season, have just been sorted out. We are in this newly reclaimed land,

We planted 22 welcome wheat and 16 cans of rice-in short, we used all the food we could save as seeds.

I used it. In fact, we didn't even have enough barley six months before the harvest.

We ate. These six months mean counting from the time when we store seeds for sowing; In the tropics

Area, from sowing to harvesting does not take half a year.

Now, we have many residents, even if those barbarians come again, there is no need to be afraid unless they come.

The number of people is particularly large. Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity, we can travel around the island freely. Because our

My mind is full of thoughts of escape and escape, so everyone is trying to find a way all the time, at least I am.

That's right. To this end, I marked several trees suitable for shipbuilding and let my father and son put them on Friday.

Cut it down. Then, I told the Spaniard my intention and asked him to supervise and guide the work of Friday's father and son.

Work. I showed them some boards I had cut before and told them how I took the trouble to install a board.

The big trees were cut into boards and made dry. Finally, they actually made 12 blocks out of oak trees.

Big boards, each about two feet wide, thirty-five feet long and two to four inches thick. As for this work,

You can imagine how much effort it takes.

At the same time, I try my best to breed my little sheep. To this end, I asked Friday and Naxi

One day the head teacher went out, and the next day my father and I went out, too, using this method of taking turns to go out.

More than twenty little goats were arrested and locked up with the original sheep. Because every time we hit a ewe,

He raised lambs and sent them to the sheep to feed. In addition, more importantly, the season of drying grapes has arrived.

At that time, I asked everyone to collect a large number of grapes and hang them in the sun to dry. If we were making Portugal,

Alicante, which is famous for its dry grapes, I believe we can completely fill 60 to 80 raisins this time.

A vat. Raisins and bread are the main foods in our daily life. Raisins are delicious and rich in food.

Feeding has played a great role in improving our lives.

The harvest season has come, and our harvest is very good. Although it can't be said to be a bumper harvest year on the island, it is

The harvested grain is enough to meet our needs. We planted 20 barley trees and now we have harvested them.

And played more than 220 greetings; The proportion of rice harvest is similar. These stocks are sixteen over there.

All the Spaniards come to our side, enough for us to eat until the next harvest season; Or, if I

If you are ready to sail, children can also load enough food on the boat. With these grains, we can drive there.

Go anywhere in the world-I mean, you can drive anywhere in the American continent.

After we collected the harvested grain, everyone began to weave more rattan skins-that is, weave one.

Some big baskets are used to store grain. That Spaniard is a good hand at weaving rattan skin. He is doing well, fast and old.

It's my fault that I didn't weave more rattan skin for defense before, but I don't see the need.

Since we have enough food for my expected guests, I decided to let Spain

Let's go to the mainland and see what we can do to help those who are still there. Before you leave,

I gave him strict written instructions that no one should swear before him and the old savage.

Anyone who will not cause any harm or attack to me after going to the island tomorrow is not allowed to take it to the island. Because I mean well.

Bring them here and prepare to save them from danger. At the same time, they are also required to swear that when someone betrays.

Hou, you must stand with me, protect me, and absolutely obey my command wherever you go.

Wave. I asked them to write down all these conditions and sign them in person. I know they don't have pens or pens over there.

How can they write it down and sign it without paper? However, none of us have this.

I asked.

The Spaniard and the old savage, Friday's father, accepted my instructions.

Then I set off. Of course, the canoe they took on the island was one of them. More specifically,

Said that at first, they were captured by barbarians, with a canoe and a group of people.

Barbarians took them to the island to kill and eat them.

I also gave each of them a short gun, all with triggers, and gave them eight rounds of ammunition, telling him

Children should use it sparingly, and don't use it unless there is an emergency.

This is a pleasant job, because it is the first time in 27 years that I took it to save myself.

Take practical steps. I gave them a lot of bread and raisins, enough for them to eat for a few days and enough for that batch.

Spaniards eat for seven or eight days. So I wished them a safe journey and sent them away. At the same time, I'm with them.

Agree on the signal that they should hang on the boat when they come back. In this way, when they come back, I can go far away without waiting for landing.

I recognized them.

When they set off, it happened to be downwind. According to my estimation, it was a full moon in the middle of 10. As for accuracy

Date, since I misremembered the calendar, I can't think of it anymore; I can't even remember the year.

Not sure. But then I checked my records and found that the year was not wrong.

After they left, I just waited until the eighth day when an unexpected thing happened. This thing is so strange.

Kurt, what a surprise, perhaps unheard of in history. That morning, I was in my cabin.

Sleeping soundly, he suddenly ran in on Friday and shouted, "Master, master, they are coming!" Here they come!

"I immediately jumped up from the bed, regardless of all the dangers, quickly put on my clothes and walked through the grove (now it is very long.

Into a dense forest), ran out. When I say despair, I mean I don't even have a weapon.

The belt is used up. This is completely against my usual habits. I don't want to eat when I look at the sea.

A surprised. Just four or five nautical miles away, there is a boat with a so-called "sheep shoulder sail" coming ashore.

At that time, the wind was just right and the ship was sent straight to the shore.

Then I noticed that the ship didn't come from the mainland, but sailed from the southernmost tip of the island.

So I called Friday to my side and told him not to leave me. Because these people are not what we expected,

It is not clear whether they are friends or enemies.

Then, I immediately went home to get the telescope and wanted to see who they really were. I moved out of the ladder.

Son, climb to the top of the mountain. Whenever I feel uneasy about something and want to see it clearly, but I don't want to be discovered by others,

I always climb this mountain to see it.

As soon as I went up the mountain, I saw a big ship moored in the south-southeast direction of me, about 10 miles from where I was.

There are seven or eight nautical miles, and four or five nautical miles offshore at most. I knew at a glance that it was an English ship and that small boat.

It also looks like a long English ship.

I was in a confused mood. On the one hand, I saw a big ship, and I have reason to believe it.

I have an indescribable happiness to have my compatriots on board. They are our compatriots. However, on the other hand, my heart

There is another doubt in the room. I don't know where this doubt comes from, but it makes me wary. First of all,

I thought, why did an English ship sail to this area? Because this is not the place where Britain trades in the world.

The main way of communication. Secondly, I know that there is no storm recently, and it is impossible to put their boat.

Scrape into this area.

If they are really British, they must have come here with no good intentions. Instead of falling into the hands of thieves,

And criminals, it is better to live as before.

Sometimes, a person clearly knows that there can be no danger, but his heart will still be affected by a mysterious darkness.

Xiu, warn us of the danger. No one can despise such hints and warnings. I believe all this.

People who pay a little attention to such things can rarely deny that they can get such hints and warnings. At the same time, it is not allowed

There is no doubt that this kind of hint and warning comes from an invisible world, which is communication with ghosts or angels. such as

If this hint is to warn us of danger, why can't we guess this?

What about the tips and warnings of friendly messengers? As for whether this messenger is supreme or humble,

It doesn't matter. It is important that these hints and warnings are well-intentioned.

The present situation fully proves that my idea is completely correct. No matter where this mysterious warning comes from.

No, without this warning, I can't be extra careful. I have fallen into a disaster.

It's worse than before

I have every reason to say so, and the situation I want to describe below can fully prove this point.

Not long after I looked at the hill, I saw the boat approaching the island. They seem to be looking for a bend in the river,

So as to dock the ship. But they didn't go too far along the coast, so they didn't find me unloading the raft before.

I had to park my boat on the beach half a mile away from me. This is ten points for me.

Lucky. Because, if they enter the bend of the river, they will land at my door. In that case, they will.

Will definitely drive me out of the castle, and may even take all my things!

When they went ashore, I saw that they were all British, at least most of them were British. This makes me

Very happy. One or two of them look Dutch, but it turns out that they are not Dutch. Once they

There were eleven people, three of whom looked unarmed and tied up. As soon as the ship landed,

Four or five people jumped ashore first, and then three people got off the boat. I saw one of them there.

What should I do? It's really too much to make all kinds of gestures of pleading, grief and disappointment. Two other people

I sometimes raise my hand and look distressed, but I am not as excited as the first person.

Seeing this scene, I am a little puzzled. I don't know what they are doing. Friday

He has been shouting at me in English: "Ah, master, you see that the British also eat prisoners, just like savages!" " "Why?

Yao, Friday, "I said," do you think they will eat those people? " "Yes," said Friday, "they.

I will definitely eat it. ""No, no, "I said." On Friday, I think they will kill them, but never.

Eat them, I promise! "At this moment, I don't know what happened in front of me, just standing.

There, shivering at this terrible scene, I was always worried that the three prisoners would be killed by them. Once,

I saw a little man even raise a long knife called broadsword by sailors and ask one of the poor people.

Cut it off and he will fall. This makes me tremble with fear.

I wish the Spaniard and the old savage were still with me at the moment, but they left together; I

I also hope I can find a way to walk in front of them without being found and within the range of my bullets.

Get those three people out. Because I saw that none of them had guns. But then I thought about it.

Another way.

I saw that the domineering sailors were violent to these three people, and they were all on the island.

I walked away as if I wanted to see the environment here. At the same time, I also found that the actions of the three prisoners were spontaneous.

But all three of them sat on the ground, looking worried and desperate.

This reminds me of the first time I went ashore. At that time, I looked around and decided that I would die.

Yes; I looked around in fear, and finally I lived in a tree in fear of being eaten by wild animals for one night.

That night, I never thought that God would let storms and tides wash the boat to the shore and let me

Get a lot of necessities; Later, it was with these necessities that I survived and lived to this day.

Today. Similarly, the three poor victims did not think that they would be saved, and soon.

Saved. They will never think that just when they think they will die or have no way out, they are actually

It's completely safe.

Sometimes, how short-sighted we are! We have many reasons to believe in the creator completely.

How full! The creator will never let the creatures he created be in a desperate situation. Even in the worst case.

In the environment, he always gives them a chance to live; Sometimes, their saviors are often close at hand, more than they think.

The elephant is closer. Not only that, they sometimes seem desperate, but they are actually arranged for them.

All right, the way out.

When these people came ashore, it was the high tide. Some of them stood with the prisoners.

During the negotiation, another group wandered around Zhou Dong to see where they had arrived, but they accidentally missed it.

Tidal flood. As a result, the sea receded far away and stranded their boat on the beach.

There are two people left on the boat. However, I learned later that they drank too much brandy.

I fell asleep at one o'clock. Later, one of them woke up first, saw the ship stranded, couldn't push it, and went.

Some scattered people shouted. So they all ran to the boat to help at once. However, the ship

It's too heavy. The coast in that area is full of soft sand, just like running water. So, how hard do they work?

It is impossible to push the boat into the sea.

Sailors may be the most reckless guy in all mankind. So, in this case, they did.

Crispy gave up this job and began to wander around again. I heard a sailor talking loudly to another sailor.

Tell him to leave the boat: "Come on, Jack, leave it alone. When the tide is high, the boat will float. " I am a

Listen to these two sentences and you can confirm their nationality.

So far, except for the observation post at the top of the mountain, I have been hiding myself very tightly.

Dare not leave your castle. I am excited at the thought that the fortifications of my castle are very strong.

Xing. I know it will take at least ten hours to float the boat. By then, it will be dark soon, and I will.

We can better observe their actions and eavesdrop on their conversations.

At the same time, I am ready to fight as before. This time, I am more careful than before, because

I know the enemy I have to deal with is completely different from before. Now, I have trained Friday to be one.

A very good shooter.

I ordered him to arm himself. I took two shotguns myself and gave him three short guns. I am now

Now, it's really scary: it's scary enough to wear a sheepskin coat and a big hat on your head.

I mentioned that strange energy before. As usual, there is a knife with no scabbard hanging around the waist, and two pieces are inserted in the belt.

A pistol with a gun on each side.

As I said above, I don't want to take any action before dark. Around two o'clock in the afternoon, the weather

The hottest. I found that they all went to the Woods in twos and threes, and they were probably asleep. Those three poor people,

Deeply worried about my present situation, I couldn't sleep, so I sat in the shade of a big tree.

It's about a hundred yards away from me. Besides, it seems that others can't see where they are sitting.

Seeing this situation, I decided to go over and get to know their situation. I walked to them at once.

As I said above, I look ferocious and terrible; On Friday, my servant, armed to the teeth, followed me at a distance.

Armed to the teeth, he looks as terrible as me, but slightly better than me, unlike me, like a monster.

I approached them quietly, and before they saw me, I shouted to them in Spanish:

"Gentlemen, who are you?" They were taken aback when they heard the shouts, but when they saw my strange model.

Sample, but also scared, even words all don't say it. When I saw them trying to escape, I treated him in English.

The children said, "Gentlemen, don't be afraid. Perhaps, you can't imagine that the person in front of you is your friend.

So what! "He must be from heaven," one of them said, and took off his hat to salute me, looking very serious.

"Because our situation is beyond the scope of human resources." "All salvation comes from heaven, sir," I said.

"You seem to be in danger. Can you ask a stranger to help you? When you went ashore, I arrived early.

I saw it. When you begged those outrageous guys, one of them even raised a knife to kill him.

Hurt you! I saw all this. "The poor man was in tears and trembling, looking very surprised.

He replied, "am I talking to god or to people?" Are you a man or an angel? " "This you?

Don't worry, sir, "I said," if God really sent an angel to save you, he must be dressed.

Will be much better than me, and his weapon must be completely different. Please rest assured. I am human, and I am English.

China people. I'm here to save you. I only have one servant. We all have weapons. Please be bold

Tell us, what can we do for you? What's the matter with you? "our business, sir,

"He said," it's a long story, and our murderer is just around the corner. Now, to make a long story short, sir. I

It was the captain of that ship, and my men rebelled. I tried to talk them out of killing me. Finally, he

The children accompanied me and these two people to this island. One of them is my first mate and the other is a passenger.

We thought we would starve to death on this desert island. We think this is a barren land.

Island, I really don't know what to do ""Your enemies, those thugs, where are they now? " I asked,

"Do you know where they went?" "They are lying over there, sir." He pointed to a bush.

Go ahead. "I am trembling with fear now, afraid that they will see us and hear you. In that case, we will

They are all dead! ""Do they have guns? " I asked. He replied that they only had two guns and there was one left.

On the boat. "That's good," I said. "I will take care of everything.

I think they are all asleep now. I can kill them all at once. But is it more vital?

Okay？ "He told me that two of them are outlaws and they can never be forgiven. Just get rid of these two bad guys

If it's over, the others will go back to work. I asked which two people. He said the distance now

It's too far to see clearly, but he is willing to obey my command. "Well," I said, "let's stand back.

In case they wake up to see or hear. We'll discuss it later. "So, they are very happy.

Follow me until you hide behind the Woods.

"Please listen, sir," I said, "if I risk saving you, will you make two conditions with me?

"He didn't wait for me to say conditions, just say first, as long as the ship comes back, he and his ship completely listen to me.

Orders. If the ship can't be recovered, he would rather live and die with me. I can go wherever I want.

Son. The other two said the same thing.

"Well," I said, "I only have two conditions. First, during your stay on the island, you must never violate me.

Sovereignty is here; If I send you weapons, whenever I want to get them back from you, you

You must give it back to me. You must not oppose me or my people on this island. You must obey my control completely.

Reason. Second, if the ship is recovered, you must send me and my people back to England for free. "he asked.

I made all kinds of promises, and I made all the promises that I wanted to make people trust. He also said,

My request is completely reasonable, and he will be completely satisfied; At the same time, he would like to thank me for saving his life.

I will never forget my kindness.

"Well," I said, "now I'll give you three short guns, as well as gunpowder and bullets. Now, you

Look, children, what should we do next? "He thanked me again and again and said that he was willing to obey my command. I was right.

He said that things are very difficult now. However, I think it is best to drive to find them while they are still sleeping.

It's on fire. If the first platoon of guns is still alive and willing to surrender, then their lives can be lost. Until/very

How many people can be killed after shooting? That depends on God's arrangement.
