Before Song Wenbin could pay more attention to the unfortunate diesel engine, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard wall, and the chaotic sounds of many people came from far and near.
The three of them looked at each other and could see the uneasiness on each other's faces. It seemed that their whereabouts had been exposed.
Without enough time to say anything, Song Wenbin hurriedly walked outside the courtyard wall. Huo Yu and Su Tina followed behind him, trying to leave this place of right and wrong immediately.
However, just as he reached the big iron gate, a black man ran quickly from outside the courtyard holding a torch. He rushed to the iron gate in three steps and two steps, pointed at the three people inside the iron gate and shouted.
More people heard the shouts, and more torches and black people rushed over from all directions.
Huo Yu quickly stood up and stopped in front of Song Wenbin, but Song Wenbin immediately pulled her down and stared at her: "Don't talk!"
Su Tina also pulled Huo Yu and whispered: "Let Brother Song handle it."
Although Huo Yu was unwilling to give in, he had no choice but to shut up at this time and silently look at the black people who quickly surrounded him.
More than a dozen male black men surrounded them, and some of them were fully armed with bows and arrows on their backs and long sticks, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Among them, two unlucky guys who were dripping with water saw Huo Yu hiding behind Song Wenbin, pointed at her and shouted loudly.
For a moment, the other black people looked very excited.
But at this time, a black man over fifty years old stood up. He was tall, energetic, and looked very calm. He first raised his hand to silence the voice of his black family, then looked at the camera in Song Wenbin's hand and started to ask questions in English.
Su Tina leaned against Song Wenbin's ear and whispered for him: "This black uncle asked us what we were here for."
Seeing that the man looked like a boss, Song Wenbin said, "Tell him that we are here to film a show about survival on a deserted island."
Su Tina translated Song Wenbin's words.
After hearing this, the old man showed no expression. He pointed at Huo Yu behind Song Wenbin and asked, "Is this person also with you?"
After Su Tina translated, Song Wenbin sighed, nodded and said, "She is with us, but she acted recklessly and was not very smart. If any damage is caused, we will compensate according to the price."
Huo Yu snorted unhappily, but Sutina held her back and translated Song Wenbin's words.
After listening to Song Wenbin's words, the uncle shook his head: "We do not exclude others from coming to our island to do programs. In fact, before you, many people have come to the island to film various programs, but those people are very Respect our customs, I have never seen anyone beating and insulting members of our tribe..."
As soon as he finished speaking, without even waiting for Su Tina to translate, Huo Yu couldn't stand it anymore and stood up himself and said: "It seems that your people only talked about me pushing them into the latrine, but they didn't say why I pushed them into the latrine. Have you asked them? Do you know them?"
Song Wenbin quickly pulled Huo Yu back, and Su Tina translated the two people's words very quickly next to Song Wenbin.
Song Wenbin looked at the aggrieved Huo Yu and said calmly: "I'm sorry, sir. According to what we saw with our own eyes and even the video we took as evidence, two of your tribesmen did indeed attack our crew members. He even tried to do evil things, so he was treated like this."
Huo Yu's face looked better after hearing what he said.
Sutina pointed at the camera and jabbered to translate.
After hearing this, the old man's face fell. He walked up to the two black men who were dripping with water and asked a few questions.
The two black men were a little frightened, stammering, eyes averting, and unclear words.
The black uncle didn't get used to it, so he just opened his bow from left to right and rewarded them with a big cock fight. The two black men who had been forced to fight covered their faces and did not dare to speak.
Seeing this, Song Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little heavy.
The person in charge here is not an unreasonable kidnapper like Babu. He seems to be very principled. Seriously, eating a pig and pushing two people into a manure pit may be an explanation, but pouring engine oil into a diesel engine...
After rewarding his men for a fight, the black uncle stood in front of Song Wenbin, pointed to the computer room behind him and asked: "I will deal with the tribe's offense against you later, but I want to know, what are you doing here? "
"We're lost!" Huo Yu replied quickly.
Song Wenbin took a deep breath and sighed helplessly: "Because it was too dark, we couldn't see anything. We just happened to walk here and saw a generator, so we wanted to try to start the generator to get some light."
The black uncle frowned: "I know you started the generator because the lights in the village suddenly turned on, but we haven't purchased fuel recently. What did you use to start the motor?"
After listening to the translation, Song Wenbin was silent for a moment and said: "Lubricant."
"ah?"
The black uncle obviously didn't know what Song Wenbin was talking about.
When dealing with principled people, Song Wenbin didn't intend to lie, so he told them exactly what happened when they mistakenly added oil to the engine.
After listening, the black uncle was silent.
The other black people behind him were also silent.
After a while, the uncle silently pushed Song Wenbin away and led people into the machine room. They began to shake the generator starting stick vigorously. But no matter how they shook it, the old generator just kept coughing and could not restart.
Seeing this, the uncle found a wrench and some maintenance tools from a nearby room, took the machine apart and took a look. Finally, he came to Song Wenbin with a damaged fuel injector and said something loudly, looking a little excited.
"The fuel injector of our generator is broken! Many other parts have also been damaged to varying degrees. This is the only generator of our tribe, and it is even the source of income for our tribe. Without this generator, our The rum factory will not be able to operate, and there will be no way to produce liquor normally!"
Song Wenbin understood what he was saying without Su Tina translating. He was very ashamed that something like this happened.
Seeing that the leader was angry, other black people on the side stepped forward one after another, but the black uncle stopped them again and said: "You must be responsible for the damage to this generator. It is the harvest season now, and we must crush the sugar cane into syrup in time." And brewing, if it’s one day late, a lot of sugar cane will be backlogged and damaged, which is a top priority for our tribe!”
Song Wenbin looked at the fuel injector and the old-fashioned generator, and was confused for a moment. If this kind of thing happened in China, it would be easy to solve. But this is a desert island in the Caribbean. There is neither a maintenance shop nor a parts factory. God knows where to find repairmen.
But after all, this was a trap created by the three of them together, and it was impossible for Song Wenbin not to solve it.
"I will solve this problem without delaying your production."
Song Wenbin said, "But I need to make a few calls."
Song Wenbin's frank and determined attitude softened the uncle's excited look.
"Can you really solve the problem?"
Song Wenbin nodded: "I am Chinese, and Chinese people are born to solve problems, as long as you return the phone to us."
After Su Tina translated Song Wenbin's words, she added a special sentence, "The white one, the mobile phone you confiscated from her."
The black uncle looked at Song Wenbin with some suspicion, as if he didn't believe what he said. However, due to the damage to the generator, production might be delayed. The black uncle did not dare to make any ink, and quickly took Song Wenbin and the others back to the sugar cane field. tribe.
The three of them were brought back to the wooden house where Huo Yu was interrogated during the day. This was probably the elder's residence. However, unlike during the day, there was a long wooden boat at the door of this residence. It was Song Wenbin and Su Tina. The Yin Ning number.
Song Wenbin looked unhappy when he saw Yin Ninghao.
Obviously he underestimated the reaction of these black people. Probably in order to prevent them from leaving, these people moved the Yin Ning on the beach to land without saying a word. Without the boat, they would not be able to leave the island easily.
Back inside, the black man handed the phone to Song Wenbin and said: "You must solve this problem. If you can solve it, I won't care about you eating our tribal totems, but if you can't solve it, even if the United Nations troops come Yes, you must also compensate us for our losses."
Song Wenbin answered the phone and found that there was no signal. So he went outside and adjusted Sutina's pot. Fortunately, there was still some electricity in the solar battery, and the pot was soon activated.
After getting the signal, he went directly to WeChat, found the director, and made a WeChat call.
The director had probably been waiting for their call for a long time, and the call was connected within a second.
"We have a problem here." Song Wenbin said.
"Is it a matter of life?" the director asked.
"Not yet. It's a group of black islanders. There is a generator on the island. We broke their generator. Now they are holding us captive and saying that the problem must be solved. Can you send us from Panama? How many maintenance personnel are coming?"
The director was silent for a moment.
Then he said: "No."
Song Wenbin was stunned.
Huo Yu couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed the phone with his hand and cursed loudly: "Bao, is there something wrong with you? Is there a program team like you? I advise you to be normal, otherwise when we return to China, we will definitely You won’t be able to film subsequent shows!”
Facing Huo Yu's anger, the director just said slowly: "I didn't let you cross the sea, nor did I let you land on the island. Likewise, I didn't stop you from crossing the sea, and I didn't stop you from landing on the island. You are enjoying what I allowed. While you are free to express yourself, you must also accept the fact that I will not interfere with this show. Where there is yin, there must be yang. This is part of our culture. Please understand."
"I can fuck you, Yin and Yang! Can you be a human being?"
Huo Yu cursed.
Song Wenbin quickly took the phone from her hand and said to the phone: "Sorry to bother you."
Then he hung up the phone.
Huo Yu was still excited and said loudly: "Damn it! I don't want to stay in this program group anymore. I have never seen such a bad director. Damn it... Damn it..."
"Shut up!"
Song Wenbin reprimanded, "Do you want others to see the joke?"
Huo Yu glanced at the black man next to him and had to close his mouth, biting his lower lip in annoyance.
Su Tina looked at Song Wenbin worriedly and asked: "Brother Song, the director is unwilling to help, what should we do..."
To be honest, Song Wenbin was a little confused. This was not the first time he knew about the moral character of the program crew. To be honest, he felt like he was on a pirate ship since he joined the program crew. But now is not the time to complain about the program team, they must solve the problems they are currently facing.
What can be done?
Song Wenbin looked at his phone. The first thing he thought of was to contact the embassy, but in an instant, this idea was rejected by Song Wenbin. This time, unlike Nigeria, others did not threaten their lives. Moreover, the responsibility for breaking the generator did lie with them. He did not feel that he had to trouble the country for this trivial matter.
But what should we do if the director doesn’t help and the embassy can’t be contacted?
Song Wenbin couldn't help but start pacing in the room. As he paced, he suddenly stopped.
Under the firelight, something blue caught his eye.
Those are the solar panels placed inside the Yin Ning.
