Dream Guide

Qingmu and Su Huilan followed the footprints left in the forest. Because the islanders here did not wear shoes, they could find the traces of the two people as long as they followed the shoe prints.

Not long after they left, they heard a whining sound coming from behind. It was probably the man who had just returned to report the news, who was bringing a large group of people for reinforcements.

"I wonder if Petru has followed?" Aoki has already seen the powerful fighting power of these savages. With Petru's ability, it shouldn't be a big problem to fight a few, but if he is surrounded by a group of savages and fights in close combat, He probably couldn't even use a gun, so he could only throw a grenade. It was hard to say whether it would blow him up or not.

Su Huilan was not worried at all: "I haven't been able to die for so many years. This guy won't die that easily!"

Aoki thought of the old man holding the scepter in the female savage's dream, and felt a little uneasy.

The stream ahead bifurcated, the footprints on the ground disappeared, and two pairs of shoes were thrown at the fork of the stream.

Aoki said: "They should have walked through the stream."

Su Huilan inspected it carefully, pointed to the wet grass by the stream and said, "There are traces of water here."

Aoki shook his head and said: "Maybe they left it on purpose. They didn't cover up their traces along the way and seemed to be in a panic. But when they got here, they suddenly lost their shoes and walked away from the water. This shows that they were very rational when they ran away, knowing that only You need to use the stream to leave no traces, so you only go into the water when the stream forks.”

Su Huilan said: "Now there are two directions. Should we search separately?"

Aoki said: "It's three directions."

Su Huilan was stunned for a moment, then understood: "You mean, they will go back against the current?"

Aoki said: "It's possible, and it's very likely. Think about why they threw away their shoes? Although walking in the water with shoes is uncomfortable, running ashore is much better than barefoot."

Su Huilan nodded: "I understand. They walked back for a while. After they landed, even if they left footprints, they were barefoot. Because there were shoe prints at the same time, when the savages chased them, they would only follow the shoe prints and leave them alone. The footprints of bare feet are regarded as the footprints of one's own people and will not be noticed."

Aoki said: "Another point is that the shoes can be held in the hand. Two pairs of shoes are not heavy. It is not easy for people to think that they will walk back when walking with the shoes. Now that the shoes are thrown away, it shows that they Someone among them was injured, and the injury was serious. Two people may have to help him to move forward, so he couldn't walk with his shoes."

Su Huilan smiled and said: "When you are not lazy, you are indeed a detective. Why don't you come to the United States with me before the matter is finished? It would be great to open a detective agency or a consulting company!"

"Going to the United States?" Qingmu thought of Liuying Lane and the old willow tree, "Forget it, I love my hometown and can't go anywhere else."

"Lianxiang?" Su Huilan sighed faintly, "Is it a lover?"

Aoki didn't answer, but looked at Su Huilan's feet and said, "Take off your shoes."

"Huh?" Su Huilan didn't react for a moment.

Aoki said: "After taking off our shoes, we have to wade in the water, otherwise the savages on the island will keep chasing us."

At this time, the whining sounds behind him became louder and louder, but no gunshots were fired. It seemed that Petru did not have a head-on conflict with them.

Su Huilan obediently took off her jungle boots and stepped into the stream with bare feet. Although it was summer, the temperature on the island was not high, and the dense woods blocked the sun, making the stream ice cold.

She saw Aoki pick up the two pairs of shoes discarded on the shore and step into the water directly on the slippers. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect that wearing slippers would have such benefits!"

Su Huilan was not used to walking barefoot, especially in the water. The soles of her feet felt itchy and numb when she stepped on the pebbles, and the water soaked into her skin softly. But Aoki walked very fast, and she had to keep up.

"Have you seen the movie "It Happened One Night"?" she asked from behind.

Aoki said "Yeah" and continued to move forward with his head down. The word "um" sounds a bit like the fourth sound, and also a bit like the third sound. Anyway, I can't tell whether I have seen it or not.

"It has won five Oscars!" Su Huilan seemed to want to draw Aoki's attention to the movie. "This is the most romantic movie in history. I think it is more romantic than "Roman Holiday."

Aoki said "Hmm" again, but still couldn't hear the first sound. He just walked in the water, his jeans were half wet.

"Do you know what the most romantic plot is?" Su Huilan looked at Aoki's broad back and asked herself, "It's the scene where the hero carries the heroine across the river."

Aoki still said "hmm", but slowed down. As he walked, he checked the details on the shore along the way to see if there were any traces of anyone coming ashore.

Su Huilan sighed, thinking that it was really a piece of wood! I don’t know the least about pity and pity for jade!

There was a sudden pain under her feet. She didn't know what she stepped on, and she let out an ouch.

Aoki then turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

Su Huilan was unwilling to show weakness at this time. Seeing him turn around, she said stubbornly: "It's nothing. I accidentally stepped on a pebble. It's okay."

When she tried to show off, Aoki saw a problem and came over and said, "Put your feet up and take a look."

Although Su Huilan wanted to be strong, the sole of her foot did hurt a little, so she held Qingmu's shoulder and lifted her right foot up. She saw a small opening on the sole of her foot. Although it was not big, blood was seeping out bit by bit. come out.

Aoki said: "Come to the shore and sit down, I will bandage you."

Su Huilan said: "It's just broken by stepping on it. I'm not that delicate."

Aoki didn't listen to her, and picked her up by the waist. Su Huilan screamed and instinctively hugged Qingmu's neck. Her face turned red instantly, but when she saw Aoki's serious look, she felt that she had thought too much, so she blamed herself. Just by blaming herself like this, her face turned even redder.

Aoki put her down on the shore and asked her to sit down, then returned to the place where Su Huilan was standing just now, bent down and groped in the water.

"Normally there won't be anything sharp in this stream, but there's no guarantee that arrowheads or poisonous needles used by islanders will fall here."

He fished it out of the water for a while, then touched a small triangular object, took it in his hand and looked at it, "This is an arrowhead made of shells, very sharp. Fortunately, this thing is very clean and will not break." For colds, even if they apply poison, the poison will be gone after being immersed in water for so long."

Su Huilan had already found first aid medicine and tools from her backpack. She felt relieved when she heard that it was not poisonous and did not require tetanus.

Aoki put the shell into Su Huilan's hand: "Let's keep it as a souvenir."

Su Huilan took the shell and looked at it carefully. She found that it had been polished into a very sharp angular shape. It was probably sunk in the seam of the stone in the water. The sole of her foot was scratched. If she stepped on it, it would probably make a hole. Don’t even think about walking anymore.

Aoki sat down next to her, lifted her feet up and put them on his legs. He picked up alcohol cotton and began to scrub her wound. When the alcohol soaked into the wound, he felt a heartbreaking pain, but Su Huilan didn't feel it at all. Don't resist, behave like a sheep being sheared.

Su Huilan watched him clean the soles of her feet with alcohol indiscriminately, apply iodine on the wounds, and then clumsily apply stitchless suture patches. Although these actions were rough and irregular, she could see that he was serious, as serious as a child.

"You know, Peter, the hero in the movie, was a loser, but he got enlightened later," she said.

Aoki said "hmm" again and raised his head: "Movie? What movie?"
