Fairy’s Box
Chapter 67: the lost village
The Raul family's wooden house was tossing and crumbling in the mud and sand frenzy. Yale rushed in before it collapsed and found old Robert who was hiding under the bed.
The old man has rich experience in escaping and escaped unscathed. After seeing him, his face was calm.
With a loud bang, the beam fell down, and the young man simply kicked the wall, carried the old man on his back and ran towards the north of the village. The terrain there is flat, and it was devastated by Vam before, and everything that could collapse collapsed, which is relatively safe.
After placing the old driver on a huge rock, he ran non-stop to the earthquake-hit village to help Nicole save people together.
The earthquake lasted for about a minute, the wrath of the earth was like a giant palm, and everything was wiped out, and the village of Desa was reduced to history. When Clark found the airship, it had been damaged by rubble and was unable to fly.
The three searched and rescued the ruins of the village all night and rescued most of the villagers. Fortunately, because the dwellings were light and narrow, and they were all made of wood, they had only minor injuries at most.
When it was daylight, leaning against the half-broken wooden beam, Clark wiped the dust off his face and said behind him, "The sound of breathing underground is gone."
Nicole walked up to him and handed a pot of clear water: "Drink it, the deceased has passed away, and if you want to blame it, it's a coincidence that the earthquake came."
Clark Cow took a few sips, wiped the water stains from his lips, and turned his eyes to her: "What do you mean?"
At this time, the broken wall blocking the road on the right was lifted and thrown away, and the dirt on his hand was slapped off. Yalei walked over with a sullen face and looked at his two companions: "You have to go and see, Vam is dead. "
"...!!!"
Several people returned to Vam's corpse. The monster took its last breath at some point. Half of its body was buried under the sand, and its huge mouth was still stuffed with rocks.
The troll was already scarred and had many fatal wounds on his body, so dying in an earthquake was not an accident. At the level of three amateur autopsy, there is no clue.
Nicole stepped forward, approached Vam's body, picked off a dark red scale, and turned to face the two of them: "Let's go back immediately, the sooner the better, the villagers here need supplies and rescue."
"But we haven't determined whether Raul and the others are dead or alive." Yale shook his shoulders.
"Which of those people's lives is more important than the lives of the rest of the village?" Kacha, the bricks and stones under her feet were smashed to pieces, and Nicole changed to a fierce expression.
Considering that although the captain usually acts carelessly, he is thoughtful and experienced. He was still half a rookie, and it was difficult to understand the deep meaning of the other party. He decided to obey: "Okay, you have the final say."
Clark's side is of course no problem. The three of them ripped open the Raul's house, found their belongings, and after explaining to the victims, they took old Robert and plunged into the lush virgin forest.
Without the airship, they had to walk through the primeval forest to the nearest town before hiring a car to go back.
In the woods with waves like the sea, it was dark and silent, and the sun was shining through the shade among the leaves, like stars twinkling in the sky.
The four of them walked through the big jungle, surrounded by towering ancient trees and overgrown branches and leaves. All kinds of plants in the forest flourished, showing the vitality of life.
In the middle of the night, sporadic moonlight passed through the branches and leaves, all the trees were like dead skeletons, but it was so quiet that only unknown insects were chirping.
Nicole, who was walking in front, stopped and looked at the night sky with a smile: "The stalker left?"
Clark also looked at the sky: "Two black kites haven't flown over for more than half an hour."
The night wind in the forest carried the aroma of milk milk, and Yale took a deep breath, and said with a face like water: "The three people who were able to protect them were going to leave, but no one was able to save them. It's too strong."
"Oh, oh, our little brother has finally grown up." The female knight blinked playfully, raised her index finger and said crisply: "Now is the time to assign tasks."
"Your mission, Yale, is to **** old Mr. Robert through the forest and return to the team immediately after finding the town. Clark and I will go back immediately to see if we can catch something strange."
After a pause, Nicole stared into his eyes and said solemnly: "Remember, after returning, you must first observe the village in the dark. If you don't find any trace of us, retreat immediately, don't hesitate."
"That's it, let's go." After the female knight instructed, she nodded slightly towards Clark, and the two instantly turned into phantoms and disappeared into the jungle.
"This little girl is very powerful, you have to study hard." Old Robert let out a smoke ring comfortably.
"Of course I know..." Yale galloped with his head sullen, the reflections of the bushes and bushes beside him quickly retreated, and after smelling the smoke, he turned his head away in disgust: "Also, please don't smoke while running."
"I can't help it. I can't stop smoking. I can't smoke in an airship. I finally took such a comfortable ride. How can I not console myself... You, do you want one?"
"Is it appropriate to say something like lying on someone else's back and smoking?"
"You are too young. I went to Gaul to assist in the mission a few years ago, and I encountered a similar situation. That knight apprentice is nowhere higher than you. I smoked a cigarette, and he was still laughing and talking behind my back."
The black-haired boy carried the old driver on his back. When walking through the forest, Nicole and Clark also quietly sneaked back to Desa Village. The two of them hid in the mountains to the west and peeped at the village through the mountains.
However, after several hours, no one appeared. The ruins of the village were silent, and a few wild birds flew down from time to time.
"Strange, where have they all gone?" Nicole was lying on the back of the rock, looking eastward to observe the ruins of the village. She couldn't help feeling a little anxious after not seeing the smoke figure for a long time.
Clark stood up: "I'll take a look."
"Well, be careful." After thinking for a while, the female knight agreed.
Half an hour later, Clark emerged from the ruins and waved his arms towards her location, indicating that no villagers were found.
"Did they migrate overnight?" The female knight frowned, thinking hard, the fingers of her right hand beat the stones rhythmically, only listening to the sound of dong dong.
Hundreds of households have just been hit by an earthquake, and many of them are still dead. Even if they want to relocate, they should leave traces. And the surrounding poverty is bad, where can they go.
Unless...premeditated! The earthquake, Vam's death, the disappearing villagers, all make sense. Unexpectedly, he led the snake out of the hole, but was led away.
Thinking of this, Nicole's silver teeth clucked, and her fist smashed a rock: "We were all played by Raul."
At noon, Yale finally carried the old driver out of the forest, and after watching the other party leave in the car, he got back into the woods. After throwing off the burden, the speed increased greatly, relying on the compass left by the other party, and rushed back to Desa Village before sunset.
According to Nicole's instructions, he first hid in the woods, observed for a while, and found that Clark beckoned to himself in the open space in front of the village.
"Where are the villagers?" Yale asked as he walked out of the bushes and patted off the grass clippings on his body.
The man's eyes were a little sad, and he said dejectedly: "It disappeared. Nicole and I searched for a long time, but we didn't find their whereabouts."
"Disappeared? How is it possible, they used black kites to follow us before."
"Catch it!" Accompanied by a slightly neutral and cheerful female voice, a piece of fragrant barbecue flew over.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed it, subconsciously leaning in and biting it.
"Two days and nights, such a long time without sleep, even we can't stand it. Mastering the limit of one's physical strength and replenishing it at an appropriate time is also part of the practice."
After three times, five divisions and two bites, Yale realized that he was so hungry. He licked the oil stains on his fingers and stared at each other, indicating that this was not enough.
Nicole put her hands behind her back, walked over slowly, and stuffed him a whole roasted rabbit: "Take a rest after eating, we will continue to look for tomorrow. People can't disappear out of thin air, no matter how well-prepared, they will definitely leave clues. "
He nodded while nibbling on the rabbit meat.
