Back indoors, when Xu Jianglun was serving me more medicinal porridge, someone came over and whispered to him. I quietly looked at him, my face was as light as a breeze, and after listening to it, I just nodded to the man and asked him to go out first. I said, "If you have something to do, you can go, you don't have to stay with me all the time." He smiled lightly, "No hurry." ”

He was really not in a hurry, and after handing me the porridge, he still sat quietly next to him. I didn't care about him, chewed carefully, and drank a bowl of porridge, which was already fifteen minutes later. He took the bowl and got up and left, but soon came back with something familiar. I stared at him and listened to him say, "If you're bored, paint, here are your easels and tools, which you packed from the gallery earlier." ”

I was amazed and asked, "Are you the one who took down my gallery?" "When I decided to leave H City, I lost the idea of painting anymore, so I sold the whole gallery. I thought that the chances of encountering painting again in this life were very small, but I didn't think that those familiar tools, picture books and brochures would appear in front of me again.

Xu Jianglun said: "I just bought your things, and I didn't care about the rest." ”

After arranging these, he said, "I'll come back later and dine with you," and left. I pushed the wheelchair to the window, only to see that the person who had come to deliver the message was still waiting anxiously back and forth, and when I saw him appear, my eyes lit up and I immediately met him. After waiting for the people to walk away, he retracted his gaze, touched the painting tools on the table, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it gently.

Some things are born in the bones, like painting. Touching those brushes, my heart was ready to move, and finally I pulled out a commonly used pen and spread the paper on the easel again. But when the tip of the pen touches the white paper, I am at a loss, what to draw? The scenery in front of you? When I learned that the governor had died of illness, the island became a gray memory for me.

As far as I looked, my thoughts drifted away. Xu Jianglun escaped the battle of Huya Mountain and began to plot to occupy this island and seize the power in the hands of the leader, from the layout to the completion of at least half a year. I also think that the leader said before he died that the chief died of illness two years ago, and from the time, it should be when I opened a gallery in H City and became a small citizen.

When my eyes turned and I saw the marks on the paper, I couldn't help but be stunned. Just now, I thought that my hand was already moving inadvertently, and the painting was a big tree in the sky, and under the tree stood two people, one tall and one short, all standing sideways. Time seemed to overlap with the past, and I went back to my childhood, looking up at the man who was so tall to me, and listening to his reprimands.

It was a thud that shook my mind, it was...... Gunshot! And it seems to be the sound of a police gun popping out of the box. Was it Xu Jianglun's shot? Has his police gun never been lost? The question is, who did he shoot?

I couldn't sit still, so I pushed the painting away, pushed the wheelchair to the door, looked down at the not low threshold and thought for a moment, and tried to stand up by holding on to the door frame. It's not a disability, it's just that I've been sleeping for too long and my body is weak, and I've just accumulated some strength after two bowls of porridge. After standing up straight, he stabilized his body, and although he felt that his feet were light and fluttering, he still gritted his teeth and stepped out of the door.

Xu Jianglun didn't expect me to go out, maybe he thought that this island was heavily guarded, and even if I walked out of this door, I wouldn't be able to go anywhere, let alone ...... He had led me with the sound of gunfire. Many of these possibilities were filtered in my mind when I stepped over the threshold, especially if the third one came to fruition, then it would not be a good thing to wait for me. But I can't sit still, I can fight Xu Jianglun as an enemy and lead him to shoot, the only one I can think of.

It is not difficult to find the direction by the sound of gunfire, and because of the familiarity with the topography of the island, it is not difficult to walk. I tried my best to act confused and timid, because I was afraid that Xu Jianglun would really set up a game to test me. But if I know the way well, and there are dark eyes watching around me, then it will all fall into his eyes. That's why I have to go out and find out, and with what he knows about me, it would only be even more perverse if I was safe at this time.

It's really to the point where you are fighting every step of the way and seeking skin with the tiger. Most likely, while he is fighting psychological warfare with me, he is using me as bait to catch bigger fish. What I can do is follow his mindset and act on the basis of opportunity.

But the theory is always inconsistent with the reality, just as I was pondering, suddenly there was a force from the side, even if I had felt it, but due to the lack of sensitivity in my body, I couldn't dodge. Even the person was knocked out, and he didn't feel pain when he landed, because he was wrapped in a thick coat, and his hands were just subconsciously holding the ground and being cut by the branches.

Maybe I slept for a long time and reacted slowly, and when I raised my head, the person who hit me had already run more than ten meters away, and first confirmed that it was not Gao Cheng, nor was it a madman or a man, and my heart was slightly relieved. There was a chaotic sound of footsteps behind me, and I didn't immediately look back, but looked at the figure in the overlapping shadows of the trees, and I don't know why, I had a familiar feeling. But who else can I feel familiar with on this island? My heart jumped, Xie Rui? No, not really. But I couldn't be sure, for the man was slender, swept through the forest very quickly, and knew how to use the shadows of the trees to disguise himself.

"Xia Zhu? Why are you here? ”

There was an inquiry from behind me, and I turned my head, but I saw that Qu Xinhua and Qiu Yuebai were together, and there were several people behind them, all young faces, at most about twenty. I immediately thought of the word "capable". Qu Xinhua was anxious to come forward to help me, but she was pulled by Qiu Yuebai from behind, and she stiffened her head, "Qiu? Qiu Yuebai looked down on me condescendingly, her eyes contemptuous and scrutinized.

Compared to her, I have to be more calm than when I faced Xu Jianglun. Let her see, she lowered her eyes and tried to get up, but only halfway through, a hand was pressed on her shoulder. I didn't need to look up to know who it was, because it wasn't just the wizard's black robe in front of me, but the hand that pressed on my shoulder was an iron claw.

A malicious voice sounded overhead: "I prefer the angle just now, just kneel and don't get up." "When the words fell, she pressed me down, and the soldiers could not be killed! I gritted my teeth against the force, and even though my whole body was trembling, I had to straighten my back. Qu Xinhua said uneasily beside him: "Autumn, if the leader knows......"

"Qu, do you even want to use him to press me?"

Qu Xinhua was silent, but in the next second, an angry voice sounded: "What's wrong with you?" Ah Yue, are you still unconvinced? The strength on my shoulders instantly relaxed, Qiu Yuebai took a step back, and replied unwillingly: "No, I just saw her sneaking in this forest and wanted to ask clearly." ”

Xu Jianglun came out of the shadows, with a cold sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and Xie Rui was beside him. My eyes shrunk, whether it was today or in the past, when something happened, Xie Rui was still his right and left hand. It's just that he was trusted at the beginning, and now, Xu Jianglun is personally on guard, and he will no longer trust anyone.

Qiu Yuebai looked sneered under his sharp eyes, and closed his mouth and didn't dare to say more. Xu Jianglun lowered his eyes and looked at me deeply, and after a few seconds, I asked with a shallow sneer: "You also think this angle is very good, don't you?" Anger flashed through his eyes, and in the next moment he stooped down and pulled me by the arm, pulling me up from the ground. I smiled bitterly in my heart, I really didn't mean to provoke him, I really didn't want to provoke him, I really couldn't stand up against Qiu Yuebai just now, and I used up the only physical strength I had left.

Xu Jianglun looked at me carefully before turning his eyes and commanding: "You continue to search!" ”

The rest of the people left one after another, and soon only me and him were left. His arm was still in his palm, and the slight tightness showed that he was still angry. But I didn't want to explain, so I clenched my fists and leaned slightly against the trunk next to me to support my weight.

Finally, he eased his emotions and spoke: "Can you come out of this body?" Why don't you stay in the house and wait for me to get back? ”

I didn't want to break it, but I couldn't help it when I heard him say this: "Xu Jianglun, Ming people don't say dark words in front of them." If I were still sitting in that room after hearing what appeared to be a police gun, would you not suspect that I was pretending to be calm? I don't have as many scheming as you have, and to tell you the truth, at first I thought that the gun was fired by you, and that you had always kept the police gun by your side. ”

"So you're afraid I'm targeting Chu Gaocheng?"

"Yes, I'm afraid!" Frankly, almost sure he was suspicious of me, and this was a temptation. Then you might as well reveal your true emotions to him. It turned out that I was right, and his expression was obviously relaxed, even if his tone was still bland: "I didn't shoot the gun, that shot was empty." ”

Empty guns? I was slightly surprised.

He added, "You think too much, I don't doubt you. When the empty gun was released, I immediately thought of you, and hurried back to find that you had disappeared. For a moment, I didn't think you were colluding with anyone, but I was tricked to divert the tiger from the mountain. Xia Zhu, I don't want to mean anything when I explain this to you, I just hope you can trust me a little. ”

My mouth moved, but I didn't refute it after all. Because there is no point. Trust is already a luxury between me and Xu Jianglun, and it is impossible to achieve. I don't believe he doesn't understand this. <
