A long drought is a nectar, and a foreign country meets a hometown.

For Lird, he did not feel that excitement when he first met Edward, but the suppressed emotions that he felt when he met Raqqa burst out instantly.

Liardeden stood up from the fire, rushed to Raqqa, grabbed Raqqa's shoulders and said excitedly, "Is that you? Raqqa? Is it really you?"

Raka's cloudy eyes, which had lost two of the three souls, also showed a glow of excitement, and he looked at Lird in disbelief, although he didn't speak English, he seemed to understand what Lird meant, and nodded vigorously.

Lird looked at Laka, felt the cold body temperature on Laka's body with his palm, and felt even more pain in his heart, and then turned his head to Edward and said angrily, "Why are you doing this to him?"

Edward didn't feel any guilt about this, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't blame me for this, in fact, I was forced to helpless." Don't be fooled by his honest appearance, I almost got carried on it a few times. ”

With that, Edward put the chains in his hand, and sat down on a stone by the fire.

"I was a little surprised when I was spotted by this guy when I followed you the first time I came here, I've never missed a target in all these years, and I don't think this trip to India made me almost fall in trouble. ”

"Since you were traveling by boat, and it is very easy to be exposed to tracking operations in such an open space on the water, I have kept a distance of about two kilometers from you, and during this time I have been followed by a few of my 'little helpers'. When we arrived about a week later, I realized that this was not an ordinary place, so I sent the boatman to go deeper into the place alone, but I didn't want to be attacked by this guy. ”

"Honestly, even the most vigilant person would not have thought that there would be a person on the top of the woods in the dense forest, not even the most ruthless cannibals in Africa, and I was almost hunted like a bear that day. Fortunately, this old guy seriously underestimated my strength, and finally let me counter the capture. ”

"I've been with him for the rest of my life, and I know he's the boatman who brought you here, and I'm eager to get some news about you from him, and to find out where this is. I don't want the old guy's mouth to be so hard that he doesn't say a word no matter how much I coerce and lure him, as if he doesn't understand me at all, hmph, this old guy can understand what I'm talking about. ”

When Lird heard this, he realized the reason, and he looked at Raqqa again, and he did not expect Raqqa to be such an alert person.

Edward then said: "After that, I tied him up and trapped him here, and even God would not blame me for my imprisonment of him, you must know that at this time I can completely kill him, which can be regarded as a hundred, but fortunately, I have the virtue of a good life, so I have raised him until now." ”

"But as you can see, I only give him a small amount of food and water every day, first, I don't have much food, and second, if I really let this guy eat and drink, it will be difficult for me to deal with him, you don't look at his thin body, the strength in his hands is really not small, and he almost choked my throat. ”

At this point, Edward looked like he was palpitating.

Lird had nothing to say about this, and although he was very sympathetic to Raqqa's current situation, he could not accuse Edward of what he had done wrong.

Lird said to Edward, "Then can you now loosen the chains, he is not a prisoner after all!"

Edward shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, my young master, he is even more dangerous than a prisoner in my place now." ”

"You—" Lird was immediately angry when he heard this.

Edward said: "My young master, you have to understand now that the place where we are is not a safe place, I have been living carefully for the rest of the month, and your happy time seems to be over, just experienced a hunt. In every case, we have the slightest advantage in our hands now, and maybe in the next second we will be surrounded by a group of heavily armed savages, and it is not certain that others will remember that you have sympathy on your side. ”

Lird was dumbfounded again, Edward's words were obviously equally convincing, making it impossible for him1 to refute them, so Lird could only look apologetically at Raqqa and whispered, "I'm sorry, Raqqa, I can't set you free right now, but please trust me, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you." ”

Edward, who was on the side, pursed his lips silently when he heard this, and then said to Lird: "Young master, you don't have to bother, although this guy is vigilant, he really can't speak English." ”

Then Edward opened his mouth to say something to Raqqa in Hindi, and Raqqa nodded randomly, smiling lightly and patting the back of Lird's hand with his hand, his eyes full of trust.

Edward said: "Okay, my young master, now please sit down, your current situation is really not better than this guy." It's better to get warm as soon as possible, and eat something good after I finish giving you medicine, and by the way, take pity on this guy, of course, and have a full meal. ”

Lird hummed, and then sat down again with difficulty, and Raqa sat down next to Learde, Edward smiled and shook the branch in his hand, Raqa saw this and left Lird very clearly, and sat down in the interior of the cave, and Lird could not say anything more about it.

Edward then removed a dark green military duffel bag from a dark place, took out a suggested medical kit from the bag, and then set up a tin can over the fire and poured a small bottle of liquor into it, and soon a strong smell of alcohol filled the entire cave.

Edward raised his nose and sniffed at the wine, and then a very intoxicated expression appeared on his face.

"Hehe, if this is the seaside of Miami, I can drink a whole bottle of Yege wine, that refreshing feeling, tsk really doesn't change it for a general. ”

Lird really didn't like wine and the like, and among the Atlantean relics, he also drank some fruit wine made by Trista during his lifetime, and he was not interested in spirits such as Yege at all.

Edward then roasted a vial of medical alcohol on the fire, dipped it in a cotton pad, undressed Leard, and began to wipe his wounds.

Although Lird suffered skin wounds, the number and depth of the wounds were remarkable, especially the shoulder injury was even more profound, and Lird was already snorting uncontrollably when the alcohol rubbed it.

At this point, Edward went down from the fire and gave the hot liquor to Lird, who gritted his teeth and swallowed a large gulp of the hot spirit.

Suddenly, Lird only felt that his throat, along with his esophagus and internal organs, were burning, as if he was caught in a sea of fire, and his brain felt paralyzed by the impact of this strong wildfire, and the pain in his body began to decrease significantly.

At this time, Edward quickly wiped the wounds on Lird's body, then applied painkillers, hemostatic drugs, and finally wrapped them in gauze to put Lird back on clothes.

After the wound was cleaned, Lird was covered in sweat, and the whole person was in a state of prostration, and he was about to faint in a faint state, but because the alcohol rubbed his body just now, his body began to be in a state of physical cooling, and Lird only felt that his body had become extremely cold, and his upper and lower teeth began to shiver in his mouth.

So he continued to sit by the fire and keep warm, while sipping on the spirits, but even so, Liald's face looked much better than before.

Edward sat down by the fire again, added water to the empty tin can, and then poured a bean-like snack into it, and soon a strong aroma of beans came out of it.

Edward stirred the beans with a wooden branch and said dissatisfiedly, "I swear to God, when I am done with this mission, I will never eat this junk food when I return to the United States, never!"

Seeing this, Lird chuckled and said, "With your ability, even if you hunt here, it won't be a problem to improve your food." ”

Edward pursed his lips and said, "Hunting is not a problem, but the trouble that hunting can cause is too great, and it is easy to leave traces in winter, and the traces left during hunting, as well as the fur, internal organs, substances, etc., which cannot be used when handling prey, these are not easy problems." If you are not careful, you will be discovered, and it will really be worth the loss at that time, so it is better to eat these convenience foods, although the taste is worse, but it is definitely safe. With that, Edward licked the beans stuck to the twig, then nodded, and it looked like the food was fully cooked.

Edward divided the ripe beans into three parts, and said: "When you left here a few days ago, don't mention how happy I was, at that time I thought you were going to leave here and go back to the United States, but I also had some doubts in my heart, after all, Mr. Pym had not passed away at that time, but I couldn't care so much, at that time I had only one wish, that is, to leave this ghost place where birds don't as soon as possible!"

In Lird's eyes, it is an incomparably beautiful paradise, but in Edward's eyes, it is a ghost place where birds don't, and Lird can only smile bitterly at this.

Edward continued: "The truth is that I was too simple, and you only wandered around for a day before you came back here, and I don't want to mention the disappointment in my heart at that time. What's worse is that I almost released this guy that time, and it still scares me to sweat when I think about it, if I hadn't hesitated at the time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back here. ”

With that, Edward handed the tin can containing the beans to Lird, and then tossed a leaf bag containing the beans to Raqqa.

Lirde frowned at this, but Raqqa didn't care about it at all, and grabbed the leaf bag on the ground as if he were crazy, and ate the leaves along with the beans and the soil particles stuck to it.

"I... I'm not hungry, I think I'd better give him my food..."Lird said as he looked at the gobbling up Raka.

Edward shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's your food, I have no right to interfere, I have to remind you that this guy hasn't eaten for a long time, and if you rush to remove too much stuff, it will only backfire and kill him." ”

Lird came to his senses when he heard this, and then had to bring the tin can to his mouth.

"Haha, that's right. Edward laughed.

"When you have food in your stomach, your body is more resistant. With that, Edward began to eat the food in his hand.

In this way, the three people in the cave eat the same food in three different positions, which can be said to be very interesting.

By the time the three of them had eaten silently, the flames on the fire had begun to fade, and Edward had no intention of adding firewood.

"What are your plans after that, since you don't want to go back to the United States with me, do you want to stay here?"

Lird nodded silently.

"Uh-huh, okay. Well... Maybe I shouldn't ask that, but I think I'm qualified to say that right now, that is, how long do you want to stay here, young master, ten days, a month, a year, or more?"

Lird shook his head again and said, "To be honest, I don't want to stay here for a minute, just like you, I don't want to eat bad food, and I want to enjoy a better living environment." But... I can't leave here yet, I still have something to do. ”

Edward tilted his head and said, "Uh-huh, okay. So let me ask you another question, how long will it take you to do this?"

"I don't know exactly how long it will take, but I don't think it will be too long, as you have seen before, the peaceful scene here will not last long, and maybe in the next second this place will be turned upside down." ”

Edward laughed and said, "That's a good result, I'll take you back to the United States with this guy then, and when I've delivered you safely to Mr. Wyatt to receive the bounty, I'll sell him to the plantation farms in the South, where there are fewer black slaves now, but there is always a need for human labor." Hehe, or you can buy him from me, don't worry, I'll give you a fair price. ”

Leard was not really interested in answering Edward's words, and now his mind began to be immersed in the analysis of the current situation in Atlantis.
