Quenched long order

Chapter 13 Private Talk
Hearing that Garland did not tell the truth, Saul was relieved. He had been worried that Garland would tell the truth to the other two when he came back. After all, the relationship between the four-person team was relatively harmonious, and it was very likely that they would share this secret. However, seeing Garland's proficient lying, he let go of the stone hanging in his heart, which meant that Garland would not tell others about it.

Kerry ran to the kitchen counter to pick up the lid of the pot, and the smell of food wafted along with a faint fishy smell.

Shaoer sniffed and felt that the taste of the food was a bit rich, as if the ingredients had not been processed cleanly. However, he took a look at the surroundings, the shabby houses, and the stone platforms built randomly with stones. For the miners living here, it is already very good to eat cooked food. If you want to eat more delicious food, you can only go to the trading market for high consumption.

"Eat first, I'm already hungry." Garland touched his stomach with his right hand, turned around and walked towards his house. Within a few seconds, he walked out with a small black wooden bucket and put it on the ground. The wooden bucket made a dull sound when it fell to the ground. "I'm treating guests tonight to celebrate, haha, I thought I would come back lying down." He smiled.

Saul took the pottery bowl that Kerry handed over, he took a sip of the thick soup, and found that the taste was quite original, even a little weird, but he could still swallow it.

The four ate and drank and chatted.

In order to avoid exposing himself, Sauer just said a few words and became a silent audience. The other three talked a lot, including what happened in the trading market today, their yearning for the future, and some conflicts in the past. Later, they even scolded everyone on the entire island, and laughed together after scolding.

Saul looked at the three people who were stumbling around, and shook his head. During the chat, he had some unexpected discoveries.

For a long time, he thought that Garland was the oldest and the first to come to the island, but it was not the case. The oldest person who arrived on the island was not Garland, but Regis, and the second was Kerry. The life of the two people on the island was very difficult. It was not until Garland arrived on the island that they gradually improved. The last person to go to the island was Sauer.

"Sauer." A soft call came from the front.

Saul raised his head and found that it was Garland. Even though he was two meters away, he could still smell the alcohol clearly, but there was no hint of drunkenness on Garland's face, and his melancholy blue eyes were shining brightly.

"Huh?" Saul asked suspiciously.

"Follow me." Garland walked to the remote path aside.

still here...

Saul sighed inwardly, then stood up and followed closely behind Garland.

Garland didn't stop until he reached a remote corner where the house could not be seen, and looked back at Saul. Then, he looked behind Saul, as if to confirm whether someone was following him.

"Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable? When I found you this afternoon, you seemed to be running away, were you entangled by something in the mine?" Garland lowered his voice, his jewel-like blue eyes were full of worry.

Lie, or tell the truth?
Shaoer thought about it, and chose a compromise method. His real identity must not be revealed, and other things must be told truthfully.

"It should be... not bad." Saul spread his hands, "There is nothing uncomfortable, just a little tired, I may need to rest for a while."

"Saul, tell me, what's going on this afternoon? What's going on with Sean?" Garland nodded and said.

Saul took a deep breath, shook his head and replied: "I can't remember, Garland, I'm also confused, what happened this afternoon? By the way, do you still remember where you found me? I want to go and see tomorrow."

"You still want to go to the mine tomorrow?" Garland showed a surprised expression on his face. He shook his head again and again, "No, you can stay at home and have a good rest. Haven't you seen the polluted miners? They were like crazy, and no one knew them. At that time, you also saw their faces and bodies. They can no longer be called human beings, they are completely monsters." At this point, he sighed, "Sauer, I will deal with Andrew. If he still wants to kill you, we can do it first!"

"Sean is still alive." Saul told Garland the news he received from the mystic, "still in the mine."

"Alive?" Garland frowned, "Then why didn't he come out? Was he injured?"

"Should...no." Sauer shook his head, recalling what he saw from the mystic. The thin lines in the crystal ball were all green, and he could only see the movements of the miners. "He's still...mining..." Speaking of this, he himself felt very strange. Because of the special environment, the miners on Stewart Island don't need to work hard day and night, but adopt the form of more work and more pay. Water, or find a way to settle down in the trading market, or even stop mining.

"Then what does he eat?" Garland raised his right hand and scratched his neck. "If Sean is still alive, Andrew shouldn't be a problem. If that's the case, I'll go find Sean with him tomorrow."

Saul frowned slightly, took a step back, lost in thought.

Garland had a good point, but if I did what he said, I wouldn't be able to do anything, and wouldn't he be in danger too?
"Garland, can I ask?" Saul asked, with some doubts in his tone, "Why do you help me to such an extent? You can actually do this kind of thing... If you didn't happen to meet a mystic in the trading market, she would be willing to help us, otherwise, you are still being interrogated."

Garland sighed, looked away, and replied softly: "Sauer, when you rescued me in the mine, did you think about yourself? If the rock hadn't been a little crooked, you should be lying in the mine forever." He took a deep breath, "There are many things I can't do in this world, but I will never stand by when my savior is in danger."

It turned out to be like this... On this island, it is indeed very rare to have a savior.

Sauer was a little surprised, he thought about it, and planned to tell the entrustment of the mystic.

"Garland, there is another reason for me to go to the mine. The mystic promised to save you. In fact, there is another condition. She wants me to help her investigate the mine. Although it is risky, I think this is an opportunity. If we can get to know her well, we will not be like today when we encounter similar things in the future." His tone was very cautious.

"Investigate what?" Garland turned his head to look in the direction of the mine.

"I don't know. I have to go to Sean anyway, right? The investigation is on the way." Sauer followed Garland and looked in the direction of the mine. Because of the angle, they couldn't see the mine from where they were standing, but they could only see darkness. However, the appearance of the mine still came to his mind.

A brief silence.

Garland sighed, nodded and said, "But you have to promise me that you will be with me when you are in the mine these few days."

"No problem." Saul nodded.

　New book set sail, a lot of support!
