Su Huilan was originally going to go with her, but was stopped by Mrs. Larry. She said: "It's enough to have two big men with me, and you're also a professor, so don't go with me to take credit!" ”

She took Su Huilan's hand and laughed, smiling very easily, as if there was a great good thing waiting for her this time. Only Petru knew in her heart that she did not want other women to repeat the suffering she had experienced.

Aoki thought for a while and said to Su Huilan: "You just stay, it's not good if there are too many people." The coal boss and I accompanied my wife over, and you and Ran stayed here to answer at any time. ”

Su Huilan nodded and said, "Then you be careful." ”

The crow complained: "Quack, I haven't eaten breakfast, I just watched you fight, and now you have to talk about what the sentence is, starve the crow to death!" ”

Boris was a little curious about the talking bird and said, "Won't your crow go to the tree to find a few bugs to eat?" ”

The crow cried, "You crows eat bugs!" ”

Situ's scepter moved, and a savage approached, holding in his hand a large leaf that looked like a plantain leaf, and the leaf was wrapped in many cherry-like fruits.

"Eat this, the wild fruit here tastes good." Situ said.

The crow tilted his head to look at Ivan and said, "Hey, big Russian brother, I remember that there was a lot of meat left over from last night!" Don't be so stingy, take out the Jeste Jeste quack! Hera Shuyasu, Hera Shusu! Deluzhizba, Nasiguta! ”

Ivan's face was expressionless, but Boris laughed as if he had seen a relative, and gave a thumbs up to the crow while laughing: "Hera Shuyesu, Hera Shu!" Deluzhizba, Nasiguta! ”

Everyone laughed.

Then some savages came and brought other kinds of fruit. They have a lot of respect for Situ, and they also have a lot of respect for others, as if they were entertaining distinguished guests.

After hastily eating some wild fruit to satisfy his hunger, Aoki set off with Mrs. Larry, accompanied by Petru and the coal boss.

Since there was nowhere to hide in the central valley, as long as the past was bound to be discovered, and it was easy to cause the tension of the savages, the mountain road on the other side was occupied by the local savages, and they could only take a long detour to the lake and then go around the shore.

There are no roads on the island, and many places are rugged and difficult to navigate, especially on the shores of the lake, where you have to wade through the water and occasionally climb rocks. Most of the time, Mrs. Larry is carried on Petru's back.

The water is warm and clear, and there is no muddy silt at the bottom of the lake.

Aoki suddenly remembered a question and asked Petru, "You said this is the island you first came up to?" ”

"Although it was foggy at that time, I was sensitive to the terrain and I can't be mistaken," Petru said. ”

In order to confirm his judgment, he stood at the water's edge and glanced at the opposite hill boy a few times, "That's right, this is it." ”

"I remember you mentioned that you heard someone speaking Russian in the fog, right?"

"Yes. In retrospect, it should have been Ivan and Boris. ”

"And do you remember when you first found this island?"

"Oh, I can't remember this exactly, probably a little more than a month before you found me, right?"

"Oh......" Aoki muttered for a moment, then asked Mrs. Larry, "Ma'am, did your research ship have an accident at Christmas?" ”

"Yes," said Mrs. Larry, "it is true that we had traveled through some kind of special space and thus lost for a while, and Anderson found out that the date on Boris and Ivan's watches was Christmas Eve, and the next day we had an accident. But Mr. Stone said their timing wasn't necessarily accurate, as they had experienced some strange things. ”

Aoki nodded: "After the rescue team found the wreckage and comprehensive information analysis, even if there is a problem, this time will not be too bad." The problem now is that all the time is not right, and something must have gone wrong in between.

It was Christmas when you had your accident, and we found Petrux at the beginning of February, a little over a month apart. And Petrux had been to the island a month earlier and had heard Ivan and Boris speak. That is, at that time, Ivan and they were already on the island. Stone said they had just come from another island like us, and the battle that had taken place today seemed to prove his word.

Who's lying? Petru ...... You? Or Mr. Stone? ”

Petru was startled and said, "I'm not lying!" Besides, I don't have the ability to lie in front of you! ”

Aoki knew that what Petru said was right, as long as he confronted him with his subconscious in his dreams, everything would be clear, and he didn't dare or need to lie to people.

"On another point, as soon as we found Petru, we set out for Ghost Island, and after about five or six days at sea, we went up to the island to meet you. In this way, you should have lived on the island for more than a month, but Situ said that it was a few months, and Alice felt that it was only a few days. ”

"I feel like it's only been a few days." Mrs. Larry's face was a little ugly as she spoke, and she seemed to be in a very painful memory, "But my feelings are not necessarily accurate, and people sometimes choose to forget things. Forgive me for not being able to think of more! ”

Petru knew what she was talking about, and comforted: "Madam, forgetting is the best weapon God has given us against suffering, and you need not ask for anything. ”

Mrs. Larry smiled at him and said gratefully, "Thank you, Petru!" ”

Although Aoki didn't witness it with his own eyes, from Alice's narration and analysis afterwards, he also guessed what Mrs. Larry had experienced. Judging from the fact that the lady knew the language of the savages, it is more likely that she lived in the savage tribe for a month than for two days.

Mrs. Larry can be explained as selective forgetting, so why does Alice also feel like only a few days have passed? Is it also selective forgetting? But if she selectively forgets, why not forget the process she witnessed of Pardick being eaten and Mrs. Larry being raped?

Aoki suddenly remembered Anderson. No one seemed to have asked Anderson how he felt, how many days had passed in his feelings? How many things do you remember? This person was obviously ignored, neither he nor Su Huilan had thought of asking Anderson.

"Ma'am, are you familiar with Anderson?" He asked.

Mrs. Larry shook her head, "He's the first mate of the Discovery, he likes fishing, and he seems to have an admiration for Alice, but I don't know much about him. ”

Aoki found that this person was too problematic. When a ship has an accident, the captain and most of the seafarers may be killed, and the fact that the first mate, who is second only to the captain, escapes is a very abnormal thing in itself.

Of course, Alice has explained this, but when you think about it, her reasons are not sufficient.

"And what about Alice, how much do you know?" Aoki asked again.

"Alice?" Mrs. Larry didn't know why Aoki asked, but she answered honestly, "She used to intern at Jaeger's studio, and I ...... My husband's student, she has been with me since my husband died. She...... Just a kid! ”
