Swimming from the waterfall to the shore of the lake was not too strenuous, but my rib on my left side was still aching, which made me have to change to a position where I didn't use my left arm as much as possible.

When I got to the shore, my feet finally stepped on the ground again, and my heart was completely steady.

I looked around, except for the lake behind me, the other three sides were woods, and in the distance was a mountain, so I guess this should be a depression on the island. I didn't know how to find the right direction in the woods, and I couldn't find the Big Dipper above my head, so I had to use the stupidest way to find the tidal hole where Xiao Guo was hiding—walk in one direction to the sea, and then follow the shore to find the cave.

I've seen on TV, movies, and books where a lot of people get lost in the woods, where a person tries to get out of the woods, only to walk around and beat up and go around in circles.

It is rumored that the reason why people go around in circles in an unfamiliar environment is because the length of their legs is different, but these are all rumors, and the real reason is that when people can't find a direction reference, their brains will draw their own road maps, and this road map is often biased.

Fortunately, this deviation usually starts to appear after walking for a while, and the trees in front of me are obviously not big enough, and before I can start to circle I have already walked out of the woods to the bottom of the mountain.

I was lucky, after climbing the hill quickly, I saw the coast in the distance, and the visual distance was only seven or eight hundred meters, and it was estimated that it would take me ten minutes to walk to the beach. At the same time, I made another discovery, and there was a fire flickering in the shadow of the hill to my right.

It's not a torch, it's more like a campfire!

Is it your own person?

No, it could be the makeshift camp that the crazy foreigners set up in the woods, just like the wooden house before.

After a brief hesitation, I decided to go down and see for myself.

The vegetation on the way down was so dense that I had to slow down as much as I could to make sure I didn't make too much noise. When I was less than fifty meters away from the campfire, my tense nerves relaxed. There were two people sitting next to the campfire, one was Qiao Wei, and the other was a fresh face - this time it was really my own person!

I quickly let go of my footsteps and walked towards them, shouting at the same time, "Qiao Wei! ”

Qiao Wei and the other fresh face stood up from the campfire at the same time, and looked over to me in surprise.

"Thunder...... Thunder? Where did you go before? Qiao Wei asked loudly as he greeted him.

I didn't answer Qiao Wei's question immediately, but asked him instead, "Are you safe?" I can see the fire very clearly from above! ”

"It's safe here, I can't tell you about it, but those people won't go up this side of the hill! It's you ......," Qiao Wei gave me a lot of time, "what are you doing here?" Why are you so embarrassed? ”

"This is a long story, let me bake the fire first!"

I first returned the dagger to its original owner, then went to the campfire, took off my clothes and set them up to dry by the fire, and then told Qiao Wei in detail what had happened on my way over, including Changle's dog calf who left me in the cow pit and left me alone.

After hearing this, Qiao Wei turned his gaze to the fresh face next to him.

It was a bronze-skinned, five-year-old and three-thick man, as soon as he saw Qiao Wei looking at him, he immediately waved his hand in panic and said: "I don't know Chang Le well, I'm just a crew member hired by him, I know that he is quite generous, he seems to have a good background, as for his character, he ......."

The bronze man swallowed it back in the middle of his words, and then looked at me with strange eyes.

"How's the character?" I said.

The bronze man grinned, then shrunk his neck and said, "You may not like to hear what I say......"

"That's it!" I urged impatiently.

"Hmm." The bronze man nodded, "We have been following Chang Le for half a year, he is very particular about this person, and he has never treated us as employees, just like buddies and friends, and he thinks about us when there are any good things." Sometimes we encounter something, and he is the first one to go up and fight, and I don't think he is the kind of person who will do such a thing. ”

"So you mean I'm here? You think I'm idle and broke my ribs and wants to frame that calf?!!! I yelled at the bronze man in a hurry.

"It's not! No! That was not what I meant! I mean, could there be some other reason for this, maybe you have some misunderstanding! ”

"Misunderstanding? Well, there may be a misunderstanding, and the biggest misunderstanding between me and him is that I shouldn't think this kid is good at all! I pointed to the bronze man and said: "I'll put this here, when I see Chang Le on this road again, I will definitely teach him a lesson, and then you and the rest of you had better not come over to make peace, otherwise I will beat you together!" ”

To show my determination, I grabbed a wrist-thick piece of wood from the side and snapped it off with one hand.

The bronze man was shocked, then nodded again and again, and then stopped talking.

I didn't have anything to say to him, so I simply turned my eyes to Qiao Wei and said, "What about you?" Are there any valuable findings that have not? For example, ships and the like. ”

"Nope." Qiao Wei shrugged his shoulders and said, "After listening to what you said about the process of coming to this island, I don't have much hope for the ship or anything." Maybe the group of people who want to arrest us can have communication equipment, but it's not easy to steal equipment from them, they are definitely not normal people, speed, liliang, and reaction are all ...... It's all about the same as you. ”

Qiao Wei hesitated, but still said the most critical sentence.

"It's not the same, I think that's who I am in the future. If you trap me on this island for a few years, I'm sure I'll be like them. I said without hesitation.

My words obviously startled the bronze man again, and his face changed suddenly, and then he looked at me with a look of horror, and his body slowly moved backwards, as if to distance himself from me.

I glanced at him and asked, "Have you seen those people kill people?" ”

The bronze man nodded, "I've seen it, it's still ...... I also saw that they killed people and drank blood, and I almost died, thanks to Mr. Qiao who saved me. ”

I hurriedly turned my head to look at Qiao Wei and said, "You also killed someone?" ”

"Not really, but it's not that I have any mercy, it's just that I don't have the skills to kill them. It's hard enough to rescue just one person, but you actually killed three, and there was a monster among them, which really impressed me! Qiao Wei said with a smile.

"That's secondary." I smiled wryly and waved my hand, "Professor Zhao, have you seen it?" ”

"No, we haven't seen either of us, when I woke up, those with guns were already arresting, and it is estimated that Professor Zhao may have been arrested before I woke up." Qiao Wei said.

"Hey, that's enough!" I sighed, "That Zhao Mingjun is not a reliable person, and he didn't say anything about investigating well before he came." What's next? ”

Qiao Wei frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and said: "Our current location is the south of the island, and there have been people chasing us before, but after arriving here, those who chased us gave up, I guess they may also have some taboos or something, or it may have something to do with the sun, anyway, this side should be safe." I think, let's go find Xiao Guo first and bring him over. ”

Qiao Wei's proposal is exactly what I want to do.

I reached out and touched my clothes, and although it was still a little damp, it was already warm.

Without further ado, I grabbed my clothes and put them on my body, and then stood up.

But the moment I got up, the whole shijie in front of me spun up with the sky, my legs couldn't exert strength at all, and my body went down to the side as soon as I was weak.

Those crazy foreigners didn't dare go this way, and it seemed that I couldn't get any near here - and I came to this conclusion the moment I fell.
