Aoki and suhuilan chased along the footprints left in the forest. Because the islanders here don't wear shoes, they can find the traces of those two people as long as they follow the footprints.
Not long after walking, they heard purring voices behind them. It was probably the man who had just returned to report that had brought a large group of Malay reinforcements.
"I don't know if petru has followed up?" Aoki has seen the strong combat effectiveness of these savages. With petru's ability, it shouldn't be a problem to fight a few. However, if surrounded by groups of savages, it's estimated that it's difficult to use guns and can only throw grenades. It's hard to say whether he will blow himself up.
Su Huilan was not worried at all: "I can't die for so many years. This guy is not so easy to die!"
Aoki thought of the old man with the scepter in the female savage's dream, and he was a little uneasy.
The stream in front forked, the footprints on the ground disappeared, and two pairs of shoes were thrown at the fork of the stream.
Aoki said, "they should have waded in the stream."
Su Huilan looked carefully, pointed to the wet grass by the stream and said, "there are traces of water here."
Aoki shook his head and said, "it may have been left on purpose. They didn't cover up the traces all the way. They looked desperate, but when they got here, they suddenly lost their shoes and walked out of the water. This shows that they were very rational when they ran away. They knew that they could not leave traces only with the help of the stream, so they went into the water when the stream forked."
Su Huilan said, "now it has become two directions. Shall we look separately?"
Aoki said, "there are three directions."
Su Huilan was stunned and immediately understood: "you mean they will go back?"
Aoki said, "it's possible, and it's very possible. Why do you think they throw away their shoes? It's uncomfortable to walk in the water with shoes, but it's much better to run ashore than barefoot."
Su Huilan nodded: "I know. After they go back for a while, even if they leave footprints on the shore, they are barefoot, because there are footprints at the same time. When savages chase them, they will only chase the footprints, and they will not notice their barefoot footprints as their own footprints."
Aoki said: "one more thing, the shoes could have been held in hand. The two pairs of shoes are not heavy. It is not easy to think that they will go back with shoes. Now that the shoes are thrown away, it shows that some of them are injured and seriously injured. Two people may have to help to move forward, so they can't walk with shoes."
Su Huilan said with a smile, "when you're not lazy, you're really a detective. It's good to go to the United States with me and open a detective agency or consulting company before things are finished!"
"Going to America?" Aoki thought of Liuying lane and the old willow tree. "Forget it, I love my hometown and can't go anywhere else."
"Love hometown?" Su Huilan sighed faintly, "it's a lover!"
Aoki didn't answer, but looked at Su Huilan's feet and said, "take off your shoes."
"Hmm?" suhuilan didn't react for a moment.
Aoki said, "if we take off our shoes, we have to wade, or the savages on the island will keep chasing us."
At this time, the cry of purring purring purring behind him became louder and louder, but there was no gunshot. It seemed that petru did not have a head-on conflict with them.
Suhuilan obediently took off her Jungle Boots and stepped barefoot into the stream. Although it was summer, the temperature on the island was not high. The dense woods blocked the sun, and the stream was cold.
She saw Aoki pick up the two pairs of shoes discarded on the bank and directly step on the pull board to go down the water. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect that wearing slippers would have such benefits!"
Suhuilan is not used to walking barefoot, especially in the water. Stepping on pebbles, the soles of her feet itch, and the water gently invades her skin. But Aoki walked so fast that she had to keep up.
"Have you seen the movie" one night? "She asked in the back.
Aoki gave a "hum" and went on with his head depressed. This word, um, is a bit like the fourth tone and a bit like the third tone. Anyway, I can't tell whether I've seen it or not.
"Won five Oscars!" Su Huilan seemed to want to attract Aoki's attention to the film. "This is the most romantic film in history. I think it is more romantic than Roman holiday."
Aoki gave another "um" sound, but he still couldn't hear the first sound. He just walked in the water. His flared trousers were half wet.
"Do you know what the most romantic plot is?" Su Huilan asked herself and replied, "it's the scene where the hero crosses the river with the heroine on his back."
Aoki gave a "um" sound, but slowed down. As he walked, he checked the details of the shore along the way to see if there were any traces of people going ashore.
Su Huilan sighed and said that she was really a piece of wood! I don't know anything about pity!
Suddenly there was a stabbing pain under her feet. I didn't know what she stepped on. Ouch.
Aoki turned around and asked, "what's the matter?"
At this time, Su Huilan was unwilling to show weakness. Seeing him turn around, she said stubbornly, "it's nothing. She accidentally stepped on a small stone. It's all right."
As soon as she showed off her strength, Aoki saw the problem and came over and said, "raise your feet and have a look."
Although Su Huilan was stronger, her feet did hurt a little. She held Qingmu's shoulder and lifted her right foot. She saw a small hole in the sole plate. Although it was small, blood was seeping out bit by bit.
Aoki said, "come to the shore and sit down. I'll wrap you up."
Su Huilan said, "I just stepped on it. I'm not so delicate."
But Aoki didn't listen to her and picked her up. With a cry, Su Huilan instinctively hugged Qingmu's neck. Her face turned red in an instant, but seeing Aoki's serious appearance, she felt that she thought more, so she blamed herself. Just such a self blame, her face turned even more red.
Aoki put her down on the bank, let her sit down, and then returned to the place where suhuilan stood just now, bent down and groped in the water.
"Normally, there will be no sharp things in this stream, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be arrows or poison needles used by islanders falling here."
He fished from the water for a while, touched a small triangular thing, took it in his hand and looked, "this is an arrowhead made of shells. It's very sharp. Fortunately, this thing is very clean and won't get tetanus. Even if they put poison on it and soaked it in the water for so long, the toxicity has disappeared."
Su Huilan has found out the first-aid wound medicine and tools from her backpack. It is said that there is no poison and there is no need to break the cold, so she can rest assured.
Aoki stuffed the shell into Su Huilan's hand: "leave a souvenir."
Su Huilan looked at the shell carefully and found that it had been polished into a very sharp sharp edge shape. It was probably sunk in the crack of the stone in the water, and her soles were scratched. If she stepped on it, it was estimated that she would step out of a hole. Next, she wouldn't want to walk.
Aoki sat down next to her, lifted her feet and put them on her legs. He picked up the alcohol cotton and began to scrub her wound. When alcohol was immersed in the wound, there was a penetrating pain, but suhuilan didn't resist at all. She was like a sheep shearing.
Suhuilan watched him casually wash the soles of her feet with alcohol, apply Iodophor to the wound, and clumsily stick a needle and thread free suture patch. Although these actions were rude and irregular, she could see that he was as serious as a child.
"You know, Peter, the hero in the movie, was also a piece of wood, but he got it later," she said.
Aoki said "Hmm" again and raised his head: "movie? What movie?"
