Although there was little chance that the giant bear could catch up, Xu Yun and the others still did not slow down and used the fastest speed to reach the isolated island in the northwest of Big Bear Lake shown by their mobile phone positioning.
Due to the cold weather, this unknown island has been frozen together with the Big Bear Lake.
So the island, which was not that big in the first place, looked even smaller now. A stone house on the small island could be seen at a glance, and the three of them instantly became energetic.
They know that this small house is 100% built by Jiu Qian Xiu. If it weren't for people like Jiu Qian Xiu who want to escape the prosperity of the world, they would not live here by themselves even if they were killed. Even the original inhabitants of the Arctic Circle would not.
If you choose to stay alone, you will definitely form a small circle with friends as much as possible.
After all, the danger of a person's survival in a place like this is too great.
"This is also called seclusion. There is no cover for a house on such a small island." Lin Ge smiled and walked forward and knocked on the door.
The wooden door of the stone house is very heavy and makes a muffled sound when knocked on.
"Open the door, Mr. Jiulao, we have found you, please stop hiding." Lin Ge said with a smile while knocking on the door.
However, there was no response at all from inside the house. Lin Ge was startled for a moment, thinking that Jiu Qian Xiu was quite good at putting on airs.
"Mr. Jiulao, I'm sorry to bother you." Xu Yun also stepped forward and said, "We sincerely come here to ask for your help. We hope you can open the door and meet us."
Xu Yun also spoke very sincerely. The attitude between him and Lin Ge was very good and sincere.
Regardless of whether they are willing to help or not, they should at least open the door and say a word. Even if they are asking them to come in for a glass of hot water, it is considered etiquette.
Lin Ge's expression was a bit displeased. He could tell that Jiu Qianxiu was not a particular person just by knowing what he had done. This made Lin Ge feel that the other party was a bit "shameless". If Jiu Qianxiu was
Qian Xiu was so disrespectful, Lin Ge would not be so polite.
"I'll do it." Gu Qiya walked to the door and knocked on the door: "Uncle Jiu, it's me. I'm Gu Qiya."
Quiet.
The reply to them was still quiet.
"Jiu Qianxiu, you are really interesting. Just ignore us when we call you. Miss Gu and the others are your saviors. Isn't it a bit too much for you not to agree?" Lin Ge
Just stretch out your foot and kick the door down.
"Don't be like this." Xu Yun didn't want Lin Ge to make the relationship so tense all of a sudden.
Gu Qiya continued: "Uncle Jiu, if you don't open the door, I will open the door myself."
"Brother, let's not give him any nonsense." Lin Ge was impatient.
Gu Qiya had already spoken, and Xu Yun could not stop him. He saw Gu Qiya giving Lin Ge a look, and Lin Ge kicked the heavy wooden door open! There was a clang!
To be precise, the entire wooden door was kicked down directly.
Gu Qiya walked in first, followed closely by Xu Yun and Lin Ge. There was no one inside the stone house, but it was much warmer inside than outside.
Xu Yun glanced at the stone fireplace. It was obvious that a fire had been lit before. The burning flames were extinguished by a few ice cubes. The firewood was still wet, so it was obvious that it had been extinguished not long ago.
Although the stone house is not big and there is nothing valuable inside, it is quite clean, so it cannot be abandoned and uninhabited. Someone must have lived here for a long time. There are still things piled under the bed.
The chopped wood was obviously used for making fire.
"Brother, there's still fish soup left in this." Lin Ge opened a pot on the table and said, "It's warm, I guess it was just eaten."
"This is stewed fish." Xu Yun said: "It seems that we have found the right place...but he definitely did not escape because of our arrival. It must be for other reasons."
"When you were fighting that giant bear just now, the sound of the giant bear monster must have disturbed him." Lin Ge frowned.
Gu Qiya nodded: "I think so. He must have left because he felt scared and frightened when he heard the sound."
Xu Yun looked around and suddenly discovered around the corner behind the bed that this stone house also had a basement entrance!
"Look at this." Xu Yun pointed at the entrance cover.
"Oh, I'll go. I'm smart enough to hide underneath." Lin Ge stepped forward and opened the entrance to the basement. Instantly, a smell of dog smell rushed up: "Oh, this is a doghouse, right?"
When Lin Ge said this, Xu Yun couldn't help but feel a little confused, doghouse?
If it was a place where dogs were raised, why didn't they hear any barking after they arrived? But Xu Yun believed in Lin Ge's nose, and the unique smell of dogs was unmistakable to most people.
Xu Yun walked down quickly, followed closely by Lin Ge and Gu Qiya. After the three of them came down, they discovered that there was a cave underneath the stone house.
This is indeed a place for raising dogs, and judging from the situation here, there should be a lot of dogs. Looking inside, the space below is quite large, extending for more than ten meters! And there are shelves on both sides.
Various tools.
Xu Yun lowered his head and looked at the ground. There were traces of long-term friction.
Lin Ge walked directly to the end, which turned out to be an upward slope. When he reached it, Lin Ge could only squat down. Suddenly, a cold wind came into his neck. Lin Ge looked up and shouted: "Brother, here
There is an exit!"
Lin Ge stretched out his hand and pushed upward. With a crash, a huge wooden door was pushed open.
The ramp passage in this basement was opened directly.
"It seems that these smear marks were left by dogs pulling sleds." Xu Yun understood a lot now.
Lin Ge walked out, and the cold wind once again made him tighten the collar of his clothes. There was a huge gap between the warmth inside and outside. At this moment, the sky had begun to darken, and it was expected to get dark soon, and the temperature would be even lower.
Speaking of which, the room temperature in the room just now was not high, but because it was at least above zero to make a fire, and it was above minus 30 degrees outside, the temperature difference was so great that Gu Qiya couldn't help coughing twice.
Voice.
"Brother, there are traces here." Lin Ge looked at the messy footprints in front of him and said.
Human footprints, dog footprints, looking further forward, the human footprints disappeared, leaving only the dog footprints and the traces of the sled, extending far away...
"This guy ran away." Gu Qiya said: "He must have been frightened by the sound of the giant bear, so he ran away."
"Then let's chase him quickly!" Lin Ge said, "Don't let that guy run away. It will be troublesome if he runs away. He is a person with no fixed abode."
Xu Yun also nodded. The only hope now is to catch up along the traces of the sled. If you can catch up, it will be great. If you can't catch up, all your efforts will be wasted.
The three of them set off quickly, but Xu Yun was still worried about another problem. If he caught up with someone other than Jiu Qian Xiu, that would be a bit hard to accept.
This is what Xu Yun is most worried about now, because having a goal will give people motivation. If they don't have a goal by then, their sense of loss will probably be much more serious. Xu Yun has a headache just thinking about this.
The traces of the sled continued into the distance, which seemed to be a road of no return, and this direction was opposite to the direction they came from. They were already ten miles away from the car, and they were getting further and further away.
Lin Ge was very motivated. All the motivation came from the sled marks on the ground, which meant there were clues to find Jiu Qianxiu.
Xu Yun could only pray that the owner of this sled must be Jiu Qianxiu.
Gu Qiya's condition is still a little bad. Although she can walk with help, her feet still cannot walk on their own.
Xu Yun touched it just now. The bones were not damaged, but the joints were sprained. Although it was nothing serious, the sooner it could be treated better, the better. There are no conditions for treatment in this ice and snow.
Besides, they had already encountered a giant polar bear once. Xu Yun would never put Gu Qiya anywhere by herself. Any place that seemed safe was actually not safe, even that stone house. If it was that stone house,
If it is safe, the owner of the house will not run away.
