Chapter 1640: 1640. People Are Gone
The light rain came and went quickly, the next day at dawn, the sun came out again, looking at the colorful clouds in the east, it is obvious that today will be a good weather.
The boy slept through the night, and the Indian's topical ointment was effective. It relieved the boy's pain in a short period of time. He moved to the toilet in the morning, and there was no painful expression on his face.
The relationship between the two parties has become closer, and Li Du can't wait to move towards the goal.
He showed the boy a photo of Steve and the Ford brothers, and asked, "Have you seen them?"
Originally, this should have been asked as soon as we met yesterday, but at that time the boy was very scared, and Li Du worried that he would not tell the truth even if he knew something, so he waited until today when the relationship between the two parties has eased before asking.
The young man looked at the photo and shook his head, Li Du felt melancholy for a moment, but the young man shook his head and then nodded again, murmuring something, and Li Du couldn't understand it either.
Brother Wolf was still careful. He took out his mobile phone and turned on the recording function. Even if they couldn't understand, they could still translate when they found someone who knew Eskimo.
Little Marklov had an idea and said, "We don't understand each other, so let's make gestures, come on, get out of the way and let me come..."
He gesticulated for a while, and the young man's face was full of confusion. The young man gestured for a while, and little Marklov was full of confusion. Just like that, the plan was shelved.
Li Du wanted to know who else was on the island, but he couldn't get an answer.
It would be useless to stay on the island and search around like headless flies. Li Du decided to take the boy away and go to the town to find a hospital to look at his knees. At the same time, he went to find someone who knew Eskimo to communicate with the boy.
Because he couldn't communicate, he didn't say much, and directly asked someone to make a stretcher with wooden sticks and tent cloth, and carried the boy to the lake.
The boy didn't respond at first, but when he got to the lake, he became happy, waved his arms vigorously, and shouted at the lake.
Little Marklove joked: "Man, don't shout, it can't speak, even if it can speak, it doesn't understand your Eskimo language."
The others laughed one after another. They took out the kayaks and re-inflated them, then boarded the boats and rowed to the opposite shore.
After the boy got on the boat, he suddenly became anxious. He waved his hands and yelled repeatedly. Li Du didn't understand what he was doing, but his swaying body made the kayak unable to maintain balance, so he hurriedly said, "Hey, boy, calm down, calm down!" Come down okay?"
His words were in vain, and the boy didn't listen at all. As the kayak gradually crossed the lake and approached the shore, he became more and more excited.
The kayak shook more and more, and suddenly the boy took advantage of a gap and jumped into the water.
Although it was sunny in June, the temperature here was not too high because it was close to the North Pole. It was not a good feeling to jump into the lake on such a day.
Li Du was helpless, and said, "Why are you still standing there? Get him up quickly, he can't even move his legs."
Little Marklov smiled casually: "It's okay, boss, since he can go to Lost Island, it means he can swim. Even if his legs can't move, he can still swim, at least he won't drown."
Brother Wolf is a man of action. He took off his clothes and led people into the water.
Then, Li Du waited for a while, and Brother Wolf, who entered the water first, returned to the surface. He wiped the lake water from his face and said, "Boss, there is no one in the water!"
Li Du was taken aback by these words, and he asked back, "There is no one in the water? Where did that person go?"
Brother Wolf shrugged: "I don't know."
The others swam out of the water one after another, and the answer was exactly the same: "Boss, that kid has gone somewhere, and he was not found!"
Li Du took a breath, and said, "Do you have diving goggles? Put them on and take a look. You just jumped into the water, so why are they gone?"
There is no pollution here. It stands to reason that the lake water is very clear, but in fact, the opposite is true. The lake water is quite turbid. Only the surface of the lake is clear, so the waves are very transparent, but looking into the water, the vision is very poor.
Anyone who has ever dived knows that without the assistance of a diving goggle, the vision will be even worse. Only after wearing a diving goggle can you see the surrounding scene clearly.
But the diving goggles they prepared were not taken to the island, but placed in the car, and it would be too late to go back and get the diving goggles and go into the water.
Li Du looked at the lake in a daze and tried his best. He waited for half an hour, but he didn't see the boy surfaced.
The Marklove brothers did not believe in evil, so they also jumped into the water to search. They searched all around, and even dived for more than ten meters without tools, but still did not find the boy.
"This is an evil way to step on a horse," the little Marklov muttered. "Damn it, it's impossible. Even if he drowns, the body will float up, right? The water is very deep, even if there are aquatic plants, they can't entangle people." .”
Li Du turned his head and glanced at Lost Island. It rained all night last night, and the island was once again shrouded in water vapor. Looking at it from a distance, the island appeared to be foggy and more mysterious.
In addition, the water mist is transpiring and swaying with the wind, making the space seem a little distorted, which adds a kind of weirdness to it besides mystery.
He beckoned and said, "It doesn't matter, let's go."
The first purpose of this expedition was safety. He felt that since he set foot on Lost Island, everything was too abnormal. For the sake of safety, he didn't want to stay on the lake any longer.
Anjikuni Lake is very deep and vast, and there is no other life on the water except water birds, and the surrounding area is even sparsely populated, so staying on such a lake makes Li Du feel very insecure.
The lake was shining brightly and the sun was shining brightly, but Li Du felt gloomy in his heart.
When they got to the shore, Hei Niu and Xuan Feng, who were in charge of guarding the car, immediately greeted them and asked, "Have you gained anything?"
Li Du shook his head, and Hei Niu quickly said: "There is news from Guoxiang Town. We left a phone number in the town, and someone called, saying that a strange guy appeared in the town."
"We also called you, but we couldn't get through, and there was no signal. If you didn't return today, we were going to find you at noon." Cyclone added.
Li Du said: "Yes, the island is very strange, and the phone has no signal. What strange guy appeared in that town? Let's go and have a look."
He also left a phone in the town at the time, but he didn't have a signal on the island, so he didn't receive the call.
On the way, his phone rang again, it was from the bartender, and when he got through, the bartender's exaggerated voice sounded: "Thank God, you finally answered my call! I called you hundreds of times, buddy, hundreds of them , you haven’t answered it all this time!”
The reason why the bartender was so active was not only because of his enthusiasm, but also because Li Du said that he would reward him for providing useful information.
For a frontier town, it is very rare for Li Du to have such a big-spending customer, and he must hold on tightly when he encounters them.
