After discussing the paper, Lawrence and the others went to visit the wounded man. After some inspection, they found that the wounded man was indeed in good condition. At least according to Lister's experience, the man only had a little pus and a little bit of pus in the wound.
The redness and swelling may not appear to be a serious infection.
After the two men re-disinfected the wound with spirits and changed the dressing on the wound, a gunman found them: "Two gentlemen, our boss hopes to hold a bonfire party in the evening to boost morale. I hope you can participate."
.”
"Of course, of course we will." Lawrence nodded and agreed. After all, this kind of social activity was also the reason why they joined the expedition.
After returning to their house to clean up briefly, Lawrence and Liszt went to an open space in the construction site together. The previous open space had been completely cleared, but a shallow pit was dug in the middle, one person per person.
A tall conical pile of firewood is placed in the center of a shallow pit.
There are three ovens placed around the shallow pit. Some gunmen and workers are lighting fires, while others are marinating various meats. It seems that tonight's event should be held
BBQ party.
In the Old Continent, such as Briton, the former suzerain country of the White Eagle Federation, during such gatherings, everyone would often gather together to hold a tea party. At the same time, they believed that barbecue parties like the White Eagle Federation were a barbaric practice.
But in the White Eagle Federation, most people think that Britton's tea party can only be held if a series of conditions are met, such as venue, space, and guests. Other than that, a barbecue party is more straightforward.
.It is an obvious act of hypocrisy to insist on drinking tea when you clearly don’t meet any of the conditions.
Lawrence and the others didn't wait long before the sky slowly became dark. As the bonfire was lit, everyone began to eat, drink and relax. It must be said that this buffet-style barbecue party is more suitable to release everyone's emotions. In Gonzalez
After Baron Si said a few simple words, everyone quickly became active under the stimulation of barbecue and beer.
"Ha, why don't you two drink? What's being served tonight is just craft beer. A little drink won't hurt. After all, the transcendent I'm looking for won't be here until the morning after tomorrow." Looking at Lawrence and the others
Just drinking water, Gonzalez held up a glass of beer to advise.
"In that case, let's have a drink." Liszt said, taking a glass of beer from the side, and Lawrence also raised the glass. "Thank you for your hospitality."
After speaking, the three of them raised their glasses together, clinked them, and drank them all in one gulp. However, Lawrence took advantage of the darkness of the night and the obstruction of Liszt to directly spill the wine on his clothes.
Of course, Gonzalez didn't notice this. After seeing Lawrence and the others empty the wine glasses in their hands, they said a few polite words and left.
"If you don't have to work tomorrow, it would be a good idea to drink some wine and sleep in." After watching Gonzalez leave, Lister said to Lawrence, "Anyway, our wages are based on days, so we can rest."
One day is just enough to perfect our thesis."
In the following time, Lawrence and the others found and chatted with Professor Edward's two students. During the chat, he learned why there were two fewer workers when they came back.
After discovering that there were monsters hiding in the lake during the early explorations, Gonzalez ordered the expedition team to try to lure the monsters to the lake and kill them. However, what everyone present did not expect was that the monsters were not just fish.
, but some kind of amphibian. Two workers were unable to retreat at this time and were dragged into the water by the monster that climbed ashore.
When the male demon hunter was trying to save the two workers, he was injured by a green water arrow from a monster that was larger than the other monsters. Since the monster had been hiding in the sand, there was no
had shown up, and the sand at the bottom of the lake probably had some kind of shielding effect, so everyone was caught off guard by this surprise attack.
The demon hunter's sister reacted very promptly when she saw this. She used a noose to pull her brother back. Otherwise, the victims in that attack would probably have been more than just two workers. Fortunately, that place seemed like
There was no restriction, so those monsters stopped after chasing them to the entrance of the cave, so as to avoid further casualties to the expedition team.
"But those workers are indeed very brave. Although they usually appear very dull, this time they did not panic even if they were attacked." One of the students sighed while drinking the wine in his hand. "You know we have done archaeological work in other places before.
However, most workers tend to get into a mess after encountering problems, which ultimately leads to many casualties that should not have occurred."
"That's right." Another student also ate the piece of roast beef on the plate in his hand, and then said: "What shocked me most was that the two workers did not make a sound from the time they were attacked to being dragged into the water.
Yelling, it has been as silent as a stone. This has greatly changed my perception of the Yanzhou people, and I swear that I will never think that they are a naturally loose race in the future."
"Yes, I was shocked too." The student who had just been drinking put down his glass and said, "Foreman Bubu said that keeping silent is a custom of their tribe. Only those who are not afraid of death can be called warriors. Likewise,
Only in this way can their souls return to the embrace of their ancestors after death."
"So that's it, they are so brave! These should be the noble savages mentioned in the book. The book I read mentioned that there are still some people among those ignorant races who have similar possessions to our civilized people.
A noble soul." Liszt exclaimed in admiration after listening to the introductions of the two students, but Lawrence frowned where others could not see him, and he felt that this matter sounded very wrong.
The celebration lasted until nearly midnight. After playing for several hours, everyone felt a little sleepy. So they said hello to Baron Gonzalez and then returned to their rooms. To their surprise,
, on the table in the room was a whole pot of honey grapefruit tea made from dried grapefruit imported from the Republic of New Zealand in the west.
However, due to various mysterious situations he had encountered before, Lawrence just pretended to drink a cup of tea. A few minutes after drinking the tea, Liszt yawned loudly and went back to his room to sleep. Seeing this, Lawrence also became lazy.
, and then returned to his room.
After returning to his room, he climbed directly onto the bed without taking off his coat, then closed his eyes and fell asleep. More than an hour later, just when Lawrence thought nothing would happen today, there was a burst of noise outside the room.
Footsteps.
The man stood on the edge of Lawrence's room for a few seconds, and then stretched a metal pipe through the gap in the rough wooden wall of the house. Then a little white smoke came out of the pipe.
Upon seeing this, Lawrence gently used his fingers to make a small opening in the wallpaper near his head, then put his mouth to it and slowly breathed in the fresh air that seeped in from the cracks in the wooden boards.
After a few minutes, there was silence in the room. There was no sound at all from Liszt, who was snoring due to fatigue. Lawrence lay on the bed and listened quietly to the movements outside. Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the man outside was there.
After hearing that there was no movement in the room, he left with slightly heavy footsteps.
"What exactly happened here?" Lawrence slowly pulled out the gun and held it in his hand, thinking. "Why do I feel like I'm even more confused."
