Chapter Twenty-Seven: All the Way Forward

Leaning quietly in Su Bai's arms for a while, Laura suddenly said, "I'm so worried, I don't know how the others are doing now." I hope they are all right and must ......."

"Don't worry, it will, everything will be fine." Su Bai rested his chin on her head and whispered.

"I don't know what's going on here, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that as soon as we meet Rose, he will definitely find a way to take us home. Laura muttered.

Su Bai raised his eyebrows.

Until now, Laura has always put her hopes on Rose. However, he knows that Laura is the only one who can put an end to it.

But now is not the time to think about that, she has to go through more and grow until she has the ability to take on everything. At that time, it was time for her to change her mindset.

Thinking like this, Su Bai didn't talk about this, and changed the subject: "Laura, when I went to fetch water just now, I found a cave over there with fire in it. Want to check it out? ”

"Caves?" Laura was really attracted to attention and straightened up from his arms, "Where?" ”

"Come with me."

Su Bai stood up from the ground, patted his buttocks, and turned around and walked in the direction of the small waterfall. Laura immediately followed.

When I came to the river, there was a small cave in front of me, and there was an orange fire shaking in it.

The two of them waded across the creek and into the cave.

There is a burning stone lantern at the entrance to the cave. It was empty, the top was still seeping down, and a wooden box was placed inside.

"There's something there."

Laura trotted two steps to the side of the box, and Su Bai followed, seeing her pick up a notebook.

"Open it and see what's written." Su Bai said.

Laura nodded, opened the notebook, and looked at the title page: "Matthias...... Is it the man who was with Sanmantha before? ”

"It should be. It seems that this guy is more than just a teacher on this isolated island. Su Bai said, "Let's see if there's anything else written." ”

"There's only one diary entry on it, dated ...... July 25, 1982! Laura's tone was filled with irrepressible shock.

"So, the man has been here for almost 30 years." Su Bai said, "He really hid something, and maybe even had a connection with the gang outside." Look at the rest of the story, Laura. ”

The two of them read the diary by the light of the stone lantern.

After reading it, Laura's beautiful face was suddenly full of worry.

Her brown eyes looked at Su Bai: "Su, Shanmansha, she...... I'm so worried......"

According to the diary, the man named Matthias was clearly not a good person. Coupled with the other party's behavior of deceiving them, there is definitely some scheme.

"It's okay Laura, relax, it's all just our guesses, Sanmantha doesn't necessarily have something really going on." Su Bai comforted, "Besides, even if that Matthias has any conspiracy, he shouldn't hurt Sanmantha for the time being, otherwise he won't have to use deception." ”

"I hope so, I hope there's nothing wrong with Sanmantha." Laura's expression was gloomy.

"Alright, let's go back first. All we have to do now is to get a good night's rest and then wait until tomorrow to meet up with Rose. When the time comes, we will think about it in the long run. Su Bai said.

The two left the cave. The night sky suddenly lit up, and then there was rolling thunder in the sky.

"It's going to rain."

Su Bai glanced up at the dark night sky and said, "We have to find a place to shelter from the rain." ”

"We can go to those attics." Laura suggested.

"Let's go up and see if anyone can get in." Su Bai nodded.

Back at the fire, the two walked towards the second-story attic in the back.

The cornices on the second floor of the attic are just one step higher than here.

The two walked up to the cornice, circled around the second floor, and found that the wooden walls on the side of the attic facing the cliff below and on the left were damaged, leaving only one wooden pillar standing alone.

When I walked in, I saw a glass lamp hanging from the top, sprinkling a soft orange light.

"I don't know who lit these lights." Su Bai sighed, "What a weird place. ”

Laura looked up at the arches on the roof and exclaimed, "What an incredible structure." ”

"This is called Dougong, which is a traditional Chinese architectural structure. It seems to have been introduced to Dongying during the Northern and Southern Dynasties of China. Su Bai explained.

"There is no such complex structure in our British architecture. It should be said that our architects did not understand such a structure at all. ”

"Just like your chefs can't cook food like Huaxia?" Su Bai said with a smile.

"Oh, that's it." Laura laughed too, "But I still like fried beans." ”

"You mean Haricot Bean? If you have the opportunity, please try the beans in our Chinese cuisine, there are many types and more methods. ”

"Then I've made a note, and when you get out of here, you're going to take me to see the cherry blossoms, to your hometown, and ...... Eat pacmen. Laura chuckled softly.

"Yes." Su Bai nodded, and at the same time silently added a sentence in his heart, if there is really a chance.

It was pouring rain outside.

Su Bai stood by the attic, looked outside, and said, "I don't know if this rain can extinguish the fire below." ”

"Even if the fire had been extinguished, the buildings would have been destroyed." Laura walked over and stood beside him.

"At least it's raining, and we don't have to worry about those people catching up right away." Su Bai shrugged, "It looks like I'll be able to get a good night's sleep tonight." ”

……

After a night's rest, the next morning, when the two of them woke up, it was already clear outside.

Stretching and taking a few breaths of fresh morning air, Su Bai turned his head to look at Laura: "It's time for us to go." ”

"I'm ready." Laura put the bow on her back and handed him Su Bai's bow again.

"Let's go, then." Su Bai took the bow, "You must find Rose today." And, we need to find a way to replenish some food. ”

"Hopefully I'll be able to meet some prey later." "May God bless us with the best of luck along the way." ”

"Do you believe in God?"

"I'm not a Catholic. That doesn't stop me from praying to God, though, does it? ”

They were talking when suddenly there was a burst of conversation in Russian outside.

The two glanced at each other, and immediately hid in the attic, leaning against the wooden wall to listen carefully to the movement outside.

"There are about three of them, let's wait and see if we can wait until they leave." Su Bai whispered to Laura, and then took off the bow and arrow, "But just in case, you have to be prepared for battle." ”

Laura nodded, and held her bow and arrow in her hand, her face full of determination.

At this moment, a man said something in Russian, and then footsteps approached.

"Looks like they're out of luck."

Su Bai said softly, his body muscles tensed, and he was ready for battle.
