Chapter 641 (1/2)
The fire was not very obvious at the beginning, but it soon turned into a fierce flame, and black smoke rose. Although it was half a lake away, it was still clear. If it wasn't for the terrain you chose, you knew that the fire would not spread there. I was really worried that the fire would devour the whole mountain forest.
The frightened birds flew up one after another, as if a large number of hunters had broken into their territory, and as if they were passing the news of the fire.
”Why did they light the fire in advance?” situ asked, frowning at the distance.
Su Huilan thought it was nothing, and said, ”maybe if we don't go back for so long and are worried about an accident, we should light the fire first. Anyway, if we want to burn it first, we can burn it first, and we can deal with Ronald Cohen's body after we find it.”
Aoki thought something was wrong, but he couldn't tell. Think about it. Let Mrs. Larry and Alice guard hundreds of dead bodies, and no one should be angry if they haven't heard from them for so long. The body will burn anyway. It's nothing to burn it first.
But what's wrong?
Seeing situ's dignified face, he seemed to have doubts. He said, ”first pick up the lady and Alice, and then slowly find out the whereabouts of petru and Ivan. We shouldn't separate now.”
Situ nodded and said, ”that's the only way.”
They rowed ashore together, and Mrs. Larry and Alice were already waiting on the shore. Neither of them looked very good, but they were not exactly the same. Mrs. Larry looked tired and pale as if she were ill; Alice looked frightened, as if she had been frightened, and her face was still flushed with nervous and accelerated heartbeat.
”Are you all right?” situ asked.
”Madam is a little sick. Is she ill?” said Alice anxiously.
”Wasn't it all right just now?” Su Huilan went to help her hold Mrs. Larry. ”Why did it happen all of a sudden?”
Alice said, ”I don't know. Not long after you left, my wife said she was very dizzy. I gave her water, but she didn't get better. There were so many dead people in front of her. Although there was sun in the sky, there was no sunshine. Everything was gloomy. I was afraid!”
Dewar came and grabbed Mrs. Larry's wrist and said, ”let me see.”
Aoki knew that Dewar's medical skills were excellent. The medicine woman was just casually instructed by her, and she could be regarded as a life-saving Bodhisattva by the Mendian people. Unfortunately, she went astray.
”It's all right. I'm just a little dizzy,” said Mrs. Larry weakly.
Dewar frowned and said, ”maybe we haven't had enough rest recently. We can't distinguish between day and night. It's time to have a good rest.”
She suddenly grabbed Alice's hand again and said, ”come on, I'll show you too.”
Alice was startled and instinctively retracted, but Dewar held on tight. She didn't break free, so she obediently let Dewar give her a pulse.
Dewar's brows grew tighter and tighter. She asked, ”who lit the fire above?”
”It's me,” said Alice. ”I was scared just now. You weren't there and my wife was uncomfortable. I wanted to look at so many dead people. When I was afraid, I... Lit a fire...”
Dewar nodded: ”you're right. It's time to burn. It should have been burned just now.”
Alice asked, ”isn't there someone else?”
”I didn't find it,” Dewar said
She still held Alice's pulse, but her eyes stared at Alice's face without blinking. Alice was flustered and asked, ”what's the matter with me? Am I okay?”
”You're all right.” Dewar finally let go of his hand. ”You're too tired and need a good rest.”
