Main contents of Treasure Island
Jim and his mother opened the big box that Bill was carrying, trying to find something that could compensate Bill for his accommodation expenses these days, but because the blind man led a group of pirates to attack the hotel, they found nothing in their hurry, except a small bag wrapped in waterproof tarpaulin at the bottom of the box. Mother and son fled outside, but fortunately they were not caught by pirates.
It turned out that there was a map in the oil bag, which was the island where the pirate leader Flint buried a lot of stolen goods and treasures before his death. Bill got this map and wanted to escape with it and keep the wealth for himself. Only to be found and followed by pirates. However, Jim has got the waterproof oil bag, and the pirates turn a blind eye to it.
After learning about this, local squire Trelawney bought a sailboat named Espanola in Bristol and set off for Treasure Island. Dr Livesey and Captain Mollet were on board, and Jim became a handyman. Everything is ready, but John Silver, the cook on the boat, is a cripple with only one foot. One night, Jim heard in the apple barrel that Silver and some people were secretly planning a rebellion after finding the treasure. It turned out that Silver was the scary "one-legged sailor". He is an important leader under Flint.
Already 19 of the crew are pirates of the Silver Gang. And Jim, Dr Livesey, there are only seven of them. After consulting with the captain, the doctor decided to strike first. At this time, the sailboat has anchored on the sea near Treasure Island. The captain announced that most of the crew could go ashore to rest. At the same time, take the opportunity to transport some food and ammunition to a flint wooden village built by pirates in the past. They gave up sailing and planned to stick to the wooden village against pirates with the help of the favorable terrain on the shore.
But naughty Jim didn't act with his friends, but went ashore with the pirates by boat without authorization. He was afraid after leaving his friends, so he immediately avoided the robbers and ran into the jungle after landing.
Jim was wandering alone in the jungle when he suddenly met Ben Gunn, a sailor who became like a savage. Gunn used to be a pirate under Flint, and was later abandoned to this desert island by his companions while serving on a ship. It has been three years since then. He told Jim that he had mastered the secret of the treasure and begged Jim to help him return to human society.
When Jim left Gunn, he found that his companions had retreated to the cabin. They fought bravely together and repelled the pirates' attack, killing and injuring some pirates. That night, eager for success, Jim had a brainwave and sneaked out of the cabin and drove Gunn's homemade raft to the seaside. The low tide pushed his raft towards the sailboat.
The fugitives on the shore are eating and drinking, and the two pirates guarding the sailboat are also fighting each other after being drunk, and finally one is killed and one is injured. Jim cut the anchor cable first, then climbed into the unmanned sailboat and managed to sail it to the other end of the island and stop there.
But Jim never imagined that when he was not in Muzhai, the situation changed again. At first, Gunn told Dr Livesey that he had dug up the buried treasure and transported it to the cave where he lived. So the doctor decided to give up the cabin and move to Gunn's cave. By this time, the map had become useless waste, so they gave it to the pirates.
Immediately after they left, the pirates occupied the cabin.
Jim drifted all day, and the next night, he returned to the stockade and fell into the enemy's nest. Because of death and disease, there are only six robbers left. They are suspicious of each other and quarrel endlessly. Silver, the old scoundrel, saw that the situation was not good. In order to leave a way out for himself, he stepped forward to protect Jim from other pirates. Silver's thieves were so angry that they showed Silver the "black spot", and Silver took out the treasure map from his arms to calm their anger.
After dawn, the pirates took the map to look for the treasure, but only found a hole, and the treasure had already disappeared without a trace. They were stunned and then went crazy like wild animals. At this time, Silver abandoned his former partner without hesitation and went with Jim to find doctors and others lying in ambush nearby. After a fierce battle, the rabble pirates were defeated.
Jim and others loaded the treasure on the boat, and when the tide came, they sailed back. On their way home, in the West Indies, Silver stole a bag of gold coins and disappeared. Jim and his friends, as well as Gunn, finally got on Espanola and returned with a full load.
