Although the giant bear was unlikely to catch up, Xu Yun and the others still did not slow down. They came to the isolated island in the northwest of Big Bear Lake at the fastest speed as indicated by the mobile phone's GPS.
Because of the cold weather, this unknown island had been frozen together with the Big Bear Lake.
Therefore, the originally small isolated island looked even smaller at the moment. A stone house on the small isolated island could be seen at a glance. The three of them instantly became spirited.
They knew that this small house was definitely Jiuqian Xiu's. If it weren't for Jiuqian Xiu, who wanted to avoid worldly prosperity, he would not live here by himself. Even the native residents of the Arctic Circle would not choose to live alone. They would definitely form a small circle with their friends as much as possible.
After all, in this kind of place, the danger of a person's survival was too great.
"This is called living in seclusion. There is only a house on such a small island. There is no cover." Lin Ge smiled and walked forward to knock on the door.
The wooden door of the stone house was very heavy, and it made a muffled sound.
"Open the door, Mr. Jiu Lao. We have found you. Don't hide." Lin Ge knocked on the door and said with a smile.
However, there was no response from inside the house at all. Lin Ge was stunned. He thought that Jiuqian Xiu was quite good at putting on airs.
"Mr. Jiu Lao, sorry to disturb you." Xu Yun also stepped forward and said, "We sincerely came here to ask for your help. I hope you can give us face and open the door."
Xu Yun also said very sincerely. His and Lin Ge's attitude was very good and sincere.
Whether he was willing to help or not, he should at least open the door and say a word. Even if he invited them in for a cup of hot water, it was also a form of etiquette.
Lin Ge's expression was a little displeased. Just by knowing what Jiuqian Xiu had done, he could tell that Jiuqian Xiu was not a particular person. This made Lin Ge feel that Jiuqian Xiu was somewhat "shameless". If Jiuqian Xiu did not give him face, Lin Ge would not be so polite.
"Let me do it." Gu Qiya walked to the door and knocked on it. "Uncle Jiu, it's me. I am Gu Qiya. "
Silence.
They were still met with silence.
"Jiuqian Xiu, you are really interesting. It's fine if you ignore us when we call you, but Miss Gu and the others are your saviors. Don't you think you're going too far by refusing them? "Lin Ge stretched out his leg and was about to kick the door open.
"Don't be like this." Xu Yun didn't want Lin Ge to make their relationship so stiff.
Gu Qiya continued, "Ninth Uncle, if you don't open the door, I'll open it myself."
"Brother, let's not talk nonsense with him." Lin Ge was an impatient person.
Since Gu Qiya had spoken, Xu Yun couldn't stop her. Gu Qiya gave Lin Ge a look, and Lin Ge kicked the heavy wooden door open! Clang!
To be exact, the entire wooden door was kicked off.
Gu Qiya walked in first, followed by Xu Yun and Lin Ge. There was no one in the stone house, but it was much warmer inside than outside.
Xu Yun glanced at the stone fireplace. Obviously, a fire had been lit before. The burning flame was extinguished by a few ice cubes. The firewood was still wet and dewy. Obviously, it had been extinguished not long ago.
Although the stone house was not big, and there was nothing valuable in it, it was quite clean. So it was absolutely impossible for this place to be abandoned and uninhabited. Someone must have lived here for a long time. There was also a pile of chopped wood under the bed. Obviously, it was used to make a fire.
"Brother, there is still some fish soup left in here." Lin Ge opened a pot on the table. "It's warm. It should have been eaten not long ago."
"This is stewed fish." Xu Yun: "It seems that we didn't find the wrong place … But he definitely didn't escape because of our arrival. It must be for other reasons."
"When you were fighting the giant bear just now, the sound of the giant bear monster must have disturbed him." Lin Ge frowned.
Gu Qiya nodded. "I think so too. He must have left because he heard the sound and was scared."
Xu Yun looked around. Suddenly, he found that there was an entrance to the stone house at the corner behind the bed!
"Look at this." Xu Yun pointed at the cover of the entrance.
"Aiya, damn. That's smart. He hid it underground." Lin Ge stepped forward and opened the entrance to the basement. Instantly, a dog smell rushed out. "Aiya, this is a dog kennel, right?"
When Lin Ge said this, Xu Yun could not help but be puzzled. Dog kennel?
If this was a place to raise dogs, why didn't they hear any barking after coming here? But Xu Yun believed in Lin Ge's nose. Ordinary people would not mistake the unique smell of dogs.
Xu Yun quickly walked down. Lin Ge and Gu Qiya followed closely behind. After the three of them came down, they found that there was another world below the stone house.
This was indeed a place to raise dogs. And from the looks of it, there should be quite a few dogs here. Looking inside, the space below was quite big. It extended for more than ten meters! And there were all kinds of tools on the shelves on both sides.
Xu Yun looked down at the ground. There were signs of long-term friction.
Lin Ge walked straight to the end. The end was actually a slope. Lin Ge could only squat down. Suddenly, a cold wind blew against his neck. Lin Ge looked up and shouted, "Brother, there is an exit here!"
Lin Ge reached out and pushed upwards. Huala, a huge wooden door was pushed open.
The slope in the basement was directly opened.
"It seems that these traces were left behind by the dogs pulling the sled." Xu Yun understood a lot now.
Lin Ge walked out. The cold wind made him tighten his collar again. The warmth inside had a huge difference from the outside. At this moment, the sky was beginning to darken. It was estimated that it would be dark soon, and the temperature would be even lower.
Speaking of which, the temperature in the room was not high. But because they could start a fire, it was at least above zero degrees. But outside, it was more than -30 degrees. The difference in temperature was too big. Gu Qiya could not help but cough twice.
"Brother, there are traces here." Lin Ge looked at the messy footprints in front of him and said.
Human footprints, dog footprints. Looking forward, the human footprints disappeared. Only the dog footprints and the traces of the sled were left. They extended far away …
"This guy ran away." Gu Qiya said, "He must have heard the sound of the giant bear and got scared, so he ran away."
"Then let's hurry up and chase after him!" Lin Ge said, "Don't let that guy run away. If he runs away, it will be troublesome. He is a homeless person."
Xu Yun also nodded. Now the only hope was to follow the traces of the sled and catch up. If they could catch up, it would be good. If they could not, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
The three of them set off quickly, but Xu Yun was still worried about another problem. If they caught up, it would not be Jiuqian Xiu. It would be difficult to accept.
Xu Yun was most worried about this now, because having a goal would give people motivation. If there was no goal, their sense of loss would be much more serious. Xu Yun had a headache when he thought of this.
The traces of the sled continued into the distance. It seemed to be a road of no return, and this direction was opposite to the direction they came from. They were now ten miles away from the car, and they were getting further and further away.
Lin Ge was very motivated. All this motivation came from the traces of the sled on the ground, which meant that there were still clues to find Jiuqian Xiu.
Xu Yun could only pray that the owner of the sled must be Jiuqian Xiu.
Gu Qiya's situation was still a bit bad. Although she could walk with support, her feet still could not walk by themselves.
Xu Yun just touched her. Her bones were not damaged, but her joints were sprained. Although it was not a big deal, it was better to get better treatment as soon as possible. There were no conditions for treatment in this world of ice and snow.
Moreover, they had already encountered the giant polar bear once. Xu Yun could never leave Gu Qiya alone anywhere. Any place that seemed safe was actually not safe. Even if it was the stone house, if the stone house was safe, the owner of the house would not run away.
