Chapter 445: The Victims Are Found
The next day.
The weather was fine.
We came out on the beach, flattened a piece of sand with a shovel, and laid some mattresses, bark and stuff like that.
Then the boat was pulled back.
Anyway, I was not afraid of running aground, so I washed half of the bow of the boat to the sand, so that it was convenient to get on and off the boat, carry things or walk around.
Then all the seven or eight hundred catties of millet in the cabin were taken out and placed on the leather mattress and spread out to dry.
Those charcoals, who are not afraid of getting sand, put them directly on the sand.
Got these done.
Then it's about repairing ships.
The main thing is to repair the cabin. The cabin was washed away by a big wave, and it needed to be reinforced.
The women, on the other hand, were responsible for making ropes out of the broken sail rack and sewing them with bark.
After two days, the boat and sails were repaired in no time.
At this time, the millet was not completely dried, and there was no hurry to set off.
I left Su Wu and a few women in the camp and asked me to guard the grain carefully to prevent a sudden change in weather.
I took my cousin and the wolf dog Xiaoliu out on a trip to the sea.
We plan to follow the coastline to find Li Zhi's landing place and confirm whether they have successfully crossed the strait.
This coastline is so wide, although it starts at the same sea crossing point, the wind direction is unpredictable, and the sea surface that crosses dozens of kilometers is estimated to be very different.
If you can find the landing site of another group of people within a dozen kilometers, you are lucky.
We went down to the right of the coast.
There is no hurry to find it on the left, because in two days, we will sail directly to the east.
If you find it then, you can see it along the way.
"You ...... Are you here today?" I steered the sails, and by this time the ship had already gone for miles. I asked my cousin who was standing next to me.
My cousin shook her head and whispered, "No." ”
My heart sank slightly: "It's been three days, almost four days." You're not going to get pregnant, are you? Oh my God!"
My cousin suddenly asked me, "Are you scared?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not afraid myself, anyway, it's not my own belly that will be big." But I'm afraid of you, old lady! Also, do we really want to give the two old couples in the family a grandson back?
My cousin pouted, gave me a wide roll of the eye, and didn't say anything more.
The sailboat moved slowly at a distance of several tens of meters from the shore.
We kept looking at the coast, hoping to find something special.
It's almost noon.
My cousin, who was in charge of the lookout, suddenly patted me: "Look at it, boy!"
I lifted the bamboo paddle from the water, stood up, followed the direction of my cousin's finger, looked at it carefully, and smiled, "Okay." Great discovery! Let's go up and have a look!"
So he changed the sail and sailed the ship ashore.
As soon as he got off the boat, the wolf dog Xiaoliu spread his legs and rushed up.
It seemed to smell something, and the whole spirit was excited.
I had a long eye and grabbed the gun.
On the shore, there is an abandoned camp.
The wooden huts with dry banana leaves as the roofs look like they have been abandoned for a long time, and the roofs are so damaged that they are not in good shape.
On the ground, there are still a lot of domestic garbage, animal bones, animal heads, fires, grass ashes and the like.
"Could it be that Li Zhi and the others landed here?" muttered my cousin.
I shook my head, "Not necessarily. ”
At this point, I was already aware of something and was studying it carefully before explaining it to my cousin.
But at this moment, Xiao Liu, who got into the forest, suddenly barked loudly.
"There is a situation!"
I glanced at my cousin: "Let's go, let's see!"
The two followed the sound into the woods.
Soon found Xiaoliu.
This little guy was barking at something on the ground.
Let's go up and take a closer look.
"People...... Human bones?" my cousin screamed as soon as she saw it.
Half a human skull, to be exact!
What went wrong?
Why would someone's bones be abandoned here?
How can a human skull, so hard, have only half a piece left?
I flicked a stick and turned the side that was buried under the soil upside down.
"Holy!"
At first glance, I was taken aback by myself!
On the half of the skull, there were several tooth marks that had been cut out by the teeth.
Every stamp is the size of my thumb!
It seems that this half of the skull was bitten off by something!
What a beast, with such a powerful tooth mouth!
Soon, under the guidance of Xiao Liu, we found some torn clothes near the skull, as well as a handful of women's long hair.
It seems that the person who was killed was a woman.
My cousin looked at these relics, her face couldn't help but turn blue, and she was extremely unbearable, with tears rolling in her eyes: "Sister Sun, something must have happened." They're dying here!"
I shook my head: "It's not them! This camp was not left by Li Zhi and them." ”
"Not Sister Sun?" my cousin turned to look at me.
I nodded, "Look at this skull, it's albino and it must have been dead for at least three or four months." Li Zhi and the others only started to cross the sea a month and a half ago, and they came to this side of the Leizhou Peninsula. So this woman's skull is unlikely to be Sister Sun's. ”
My cousin stared, "Do you think it's the foreigner Yuri who set up camp here?"
Do you remember, that Qi Guangfei broke into our house two months before last year? And the time for them to cross the sea will be half a month in the morning. Qi Guangfei failed to cross the sea and was beaten back by the waves, and then walked to our place. In this way, it is estimated that they actually crossed the sea half a year ago. ”
"So, this skull, it should be left by one of their members. It must have been attacked by a large beast and unfortunately devoured. ”
My cousin said, "But this deceased is a woman, and the foreigner Yuri, is there a woman with him?"
I said, "Yes!" When I went to Niujiao Mountain to rescue Qiu'er. There were five women there, including Qiu'er. Among them is one named Wu Yun. Go back and ask Qiu'er at night, she will definitely be clear. Later, there was an earthquake, and Qiu'er and I were trapped underground, and the other four women should have run away with the men of the red-haired Yuri. ”
"And you see, the wooden houses and buildings outside are very solid, and the territory around the camp is also very large. It's clearly a team that has lived here for a few months. Li Zhi, will they make such a big move? As soon as they get ashore, they will continue to set sail, so why should they build such a wooden house!"
My cousin listened to my analysis and agreed, and said, "Then it shouldn't be Sister Sun." ”
Then he sighed lightly: "But it's also a poor person." They are all people who fell together, and now they are throwing their bodies in the wilderness, but no one cares about them. Let's clean her up and bury her. ”
"Hmm!" I was about to nod in agreement.
But suddenly I heard an earth-shattering roar in the depths of the forest!
I can see someone tipping in the background, but I can't see any records......
