Wilderness Redemption Tour

"Is everyone okay?" After the boat stabilized, Dutch held up his hat and looked around at the people on the boat.

Arthur hurriedly climbed up from his lying position. He was hit the hardest and almost fell down. After getting up, he roughly checked his body, then turned around and looked at his hat floating on the river. He shrugged and said, "I'm fine, but the hat flew off."

"I am fine."

"I'm fine too."

Lin Yan and Thomas shook their heads, and then everyone looked at Jules who was huddled at the bow. This seriously injured soldier who had lost too much blood had now experienced another round of explosions, and it was unknown how much of his life he had left.

Jules had his eyes tightly closed at this time. After this round of impact, his originally pale and bloodless lips became rosy again. However, on the other hand, the wounds on his legs that had been simply treated by Thomas and stopped bleeding began to bleed again, and he looked even more listless.

Dutch walked forward to check Jules' breath, then opened his eyelids and took a look, and found that he was still alive, so he tightened the makeshift "tourniquet" on his leg. At the same time, he reached out and grabbed a handful of river water and patted his face to encourage him: "Hold on, kid! We'll go back now, you'll be fine, you'll be fine." After that, he raised his head and looked at the river.

The river was filled with smoke, and a large amount of meat was scattered around the explosion site. The entire river surface was stained with blood and turned a light pink. Even though the crocodile's condition was still unclear, in everyone's mind, it was already dead. The reason was simple: half of its mouth was floating not far from the boat.

"Thomas, hurry back to the village. We'll deal with this beast later." Dutch urged Thomas while pressing on Jules' wound to stop the bleeding.

"Oh, good!" Realizing that the huge crocodile was dead, Thomas quickly picked up the pole and steered the boat towards Lagrasse.

"How is Jules?" Thomas asked hesitantly.

"The good news is that he's not dead yet," Dutch replied in a weird position while pressing Jules' wound. "The bad news is that the child is in a bad condition. I'm afraid you need to find a professional doctor, and quickly."

"It's okay, it's okay." Thomas patted his chest. "A doctor just came to the village this afternoon. He won't leave until tomorrow. I will go to see him as soon as I get ashore."

The speed of the boat increased again, and a few minutes later, the pier of Lagras appeared in front of everyone. The explosion just now attracted more than half of the people in the village. They all crowded on the pier to see what happened in the swamp.

Thomas's appearance caused a brief commotion among the crowd. A loud-voiced villager put his hands together and shouted at Thomas, "Thomas, what was that noise just now? Did you make it?"

Thomas was also a little surprised to see so many villagers gathered on the dock. He cleared his throat and shouted to the villagers on the shore: "Go call Dr. Reynard, Jules is injured!"

He shouted several times in a row before some people in the chaotic crowd on the dock could hear him clearly. Then a few children squeezed out of the crowd and ran away from everyone's sight.

As the boat approached the dock, Dutch called Arthur to help, and the two of them pulled Jules up together. The villagers watching on the shore gasped when they saw Jules' injuries.

"Jules was bitten by the giant beast rumored in the village." Thomas explained, "But it has been killed by these brave outsiders. Half of its body was blown up. You must have come here because you heard the noise."

The villagers on the dock hurriedly took Jules. Lin Yan heard one of them say, "Quick, send Jules to Dr. Leonard."

Behind the crowd, there was a carriage parked. The decoration on the roof was a giant medicine mortar. The more Lin Yan looked at it, the more familiar it felt. He scratched his head and said to himself, "Why do I feel like I've seen a carriage like this somewhere..."

Some people on the dock followed the injured Jules and left, while the other group surrounded Thomas, wanting him to take them to see the giant crocodile. Thomas asked them to wait for a while, parked the boat, went up to the dock and nodded to the three guests, saying, "Thank you, thank you. If it weren't for you today, Jules and I would have to stay here. If you need me in the future, I'll be there at your service."

Lin Yan chuckled and thought that if it weren't for us, that crocodile would probably always live in your rumors.

"It's just a small favor." Dutch shook his freshly washed hands, "I asked you to do this before... Now Jules is like this..."

"No problem!" Thomas agreed without hesitation. "If Jules were here now, he would definitely agree. That Bronte is a complete villain. He has killed many people and injured even more. If you dare to take action against him, I will absolutely support you."

"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow." Dutch patted Thomas' shoulder, said goodbye to him, and walked towards his house with Arthur and Lin Yan.

"I've followed you for so many years, but I've never heard you scream before, Dutch." Arthur followed behind Dutch and teased him.

Dutch looked back at him and said, "What a coincidence. I haven't heard of you either."

Arthur smiled and counted on his fingers to explain: "First, I've never seen such a big crocodile before; second, Jamie was almost caught and eaten by that guy in the water just now."

"Same here." Dutch got on his horse and looked towards the carriage parked at the pier. "I hope the child can survive. After all, Jamie risked his life to save him."

Arthur looked at Lin Yan, nodded and praised: "I didn't expect you to be so calm at the critical moment. If there was such a thing following me, I would be scared to death. How did you muster up the courage to go into the water?"

Lin Yan smiled shyly, "I was in a hurry to save people at that time, and I didn't think much about it. I just thought I could walk faster than you in the water..."

The tense atmosphere when they came was diluted a lot because of this incident. When they left, Dutch and Arthur were still chatting and laughing, but Lin Yan always had the illusion that an irreparable rift had occurred between the two of them. Now Arthur is no longer the Arthur of the past, and Dutch seems to be no longer the Dutch of the past.

Maybe this is the normal direction of the plot... Sighing silently, Lin Yan shifted his attention to the reward of this hidden mission.
