"Is this for us to go west and find them?"

The madman was very unhappy, and spent a lot of energy to make it to the southern end of the continent, and now let them go to the west?

His rule of survival in purgatory is to "do as he pleases", and the invading bird army has destroyed this way of survival, not to mention the exhaustion of running around.

"I'm afraid not. ”

Hearing Bai Yao say this, the madman was quite excited and hurriedly asked the reason.

Bai Yao pointed to the trestle under his feet and said: "This trestle bridge is quite conspicuous, people can find it, and birds will be easier to find it." This line will also be read by the birds that come up later. This is misleading. ”

"Where the hell do those guys want us going?"

"This way. ”

Bai Yao raised her head, the bridge of her nose was reflected in the distant firelight, and she set her eyes on the South China Sea.

"Do you still want to go to sea......" the madman muttered reluctantly.

Chen Jian asked, "Why do you think that? Does this sentence have a deeper meaning?"

"No," Bai Yao shook his head and said slowly, "This is an ordinary sentence, and the person who wrote it didn't intend to let us see it at all, so he wrote it so small." If you hadn't started looking at the trestle first, I wouldn't have found out. ”

Chen Jian felt a burst of pride after hearing this.

“...... Someone deliberately left it for the bird to read?"

"That's how it should be. Bai Yao said, "The thing that is really left to people is this." She treads the trestle lightly on her toes, and the sturdy body of the bridge creaks with a pleasant sound of wooden planks.

"The birds can't understand what the pier means, they just think it's one of the many structures left behind by the Aboriginal people. And Rose, what do you think the trestle is?"

"It's giving us directions?"

"Yes, for the aborigines who live by the sea, the trestle is a guide to the way home and the beginning of the departure. I've been here before, and there are actually two other huts for people to rest next to the trestle, but they've been torn down - I can't understand why they left the trestle without leaving a trace, and now I fully understand. ”

"Just to make us pay attention to that. ”

"That's right. Bai Yao was full of confidence, "They didn't avoid us, but set off one step ahead." ”

"But why?"

The madman suddenly joined the conversation after a long silence.

He was considering whether it would be cost-effective to go to sea, and now that the Bird Army showed no sign of continuing the invasion, he thought to himself that it might be quite safe here.

"Would you rather run away and go to the South China Sea than fight the Bird Country?

Bai Yao was silent for a long time and said, "We'll know when we catch up with them." ”

"Are you really going?" the madman panicked, "we don't have a boat!"

"They definitely left the boat. ”

Bai Yao and Chen Jian turned around and returned to the coast almost at the same time, and began to search for the hiding place of the ship nearby. Only the hesitant madman still stands at the head of the trestle, like a sculpture.

Chen Jian believed in Bai Yao's instincts as a traveler, and she knew better than herself the obscure way of transmitting information to the aborigines, so she did not hesitate to follow her steps and look around for the traces of the boat.

The boat is reserved for man, and it will never be easily found by the birds, otherwise the intentions of the humans will be exposed.

Where exactly can this condition be met?

Chen Jian looked around.

In order to make people find the pier as soon as they get to the vicinity, it is bare, even the trees have been cut down a lot, and there is no trace of the bare beach, and if there is, it has been washed away by the sea. Further down the shore are some scattered houses, similar to the structure of bamboo buildings, the first floor is vacated, and there are rooms on the second floor.

It's full of life, and it adds a touch of warmth to the cold purgatory - but this statement is quite contradictory, after all, purgatory is never short of heat.

When Chen Jian walked into one of the rooms, he seemed to be able to see the leisurely and leisurely life style of the aborigines.

Bai Yao told him that this was the residence of some of the people of the Republic of China, and they had repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the last war between men and birds.

There were some empty bottles and cans in the room, which felt like ceramics to the touch, but without the heaviness of ceramics, Chen Jian felt that they looked like some kind of fragile plastic.

Bai Yao couldn't say what it was made of, but she knew that those jars with wide mouths and lids were used to hold worms, and the worm people would use them as raw materials to make poisoned arrows and hunt them at sea.

"It's really a breath of life......"

Chen Jian couldn't help but speak.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, though it wasn't at all, he could hardly believe that anyone could live in such a hostile environment as purgatory.

But then again, it's probably just the inmates who can't adapt to the environment, and the Aboriginal people are called "Aboriginals" because they are native.

Thinking of this, Chen Jian began to think about the existence of purgatory again.

What kind of place is it?Why is Jizo capable of sending them here?Why does Jizo look like a skeleton, and what kind of judge is there?

There is another thing that Chen Jian is puzzled about—why was the judge buried in the soil, and where did the original mountain movers go?

Could it be that the mountain mover is the judge......

Chen Jian's head seemed to have become a question mark.

"What are you thinking?" Bai Yao asked urging as she saw Chen Jian stop looking.

"I told you before that Huang Aimian and I met the judge. ”

"Oh, remember. I'm concerned too. ”

"It doesn't have much to do with the present, but it's hard to let go. You don't have any ideas?"

"I don't know. ”

"Also, how did you steal the judge's time disk? You never went into details. That judge can't be a fake. ”

Bai Yao glanced at him: "Maybe there is more than one judge." ”

"Really?"

"Who knows? The judge is a skeleton, wearing a white robe, or maybe a light red robe, and it would not be surprising that there were many of them. Besides, you said that the judge you saved was buried under the grave of the mountain movers, and the judge I stole the time disk must not be the same as him-"

"Wait!" Chen Jian stopped her, "You said he was wearing a white robe?"

"It's light-colored anyway. The red on his body is not very noticeable. ”

Bai Yao didn't understand what was there to make a fuss about, and his eyes were full of disgust at Chen Jian.

"Are you not mistaken?"

Chen Jian understood that she couldn't say the color of the robe she saw, otherwise it would affect Bai Yao's memory, and she had to wait for her to determine the color before she could say it.

"Yes, I remember it very well, after all, I stole the time disk from him. ”

She said it the same lightly as she did the first time.

But after being with her for so long, Chen Jian can already hear it, and she is actually quite proud of it.

He said, "I saw the judge dressed in a black robe. ”

"So there are two. She didn't care, and pointed out the window, "You go over there and have a look, I remember there's a warehouse over there, you have to look closely, the people are unauthorized to build mechanisms, maybe they hide in some house." ”

Chen Jian saw that she didn't have the heart to explore the judge, so she had to think silently by herself:

The two judges, one in a black robe and the other in a white robe, are these correspondings to the impermanence of black and white?

Feeling Bai Yao's scorching gaze, he hurriedly left.

"Maniac?!"

As soon as he poked his head out, he saw the bloodied madman stumbling towards them.

Chen Jian suddenly pulled Bai Yao to his side: "The madman seems to have been attacked!"

"What's wrong?" Bai Yao was startled.

There are no people and no birds here, how can a madman be attacked?" she looked in wonder in the direction of Chen Jian's finger.

The madman who came in blood was talking about vague words, and he danced with his hands, and he couldn't tell whether he was flustered or excited.

Chen Jian rushed out of the door and immediately searched for the attacker nearby.

Except for the madman's crimson and dazzling figure and the reddish ripples behind him, he didn't see any movement.

"I found it!" the madman's voice finally reached his ears, and he emphasized "I".

Got it?

It is clear that the madman found the ship.

As he ran closer, Chen Jian saw clearly that the madman's blood was not his own at all, but seawater-

"I see!"

He couldn't help but secretly shout.

It turned out that the ship was hidden in the sea.

*

It's human......

Yumin held his breath, his body froze in place, and for a moment he forgot to find shelter to dodge.

One, two, three...... There are three of them, and I'm sure I won't be able to capture them all alive, so I'd better tell you about it as soon as possible. Is that red-covered thing really human? It's scary, it's so cheap to run like that. The other two are back to the beach, what are they doing? That's ...... Something seems to have come out of the bottom of the sea -- it's a ship! There's a ship hiding at the bottom of the sea. Oh no! They seem to have found me.

*

"Hey, look over there!"

The madman shouted like the first gold digger to see the Statue of Liberty.

"It's Yumin!"

Yumin's whole body stiffened, and the thought of trying to turn around and run away was immediately overwhelmed by fear. She froze in place, wondering why the reddened human could call her name.

"Feathered people?" Bai Yao had heard of this race, and she looked up, and a soft feather appeared on the side of the bush. "There's something hiding there, maybe a bird......"

She was terrified, if it was the feathered people, if it was the scout birds, it must have witnessed them pulling the boat from the bottom of the sea.

Don't let it run!

Bai Yao bent down to pick up the stones, and at the same time ran wildly towards the forest.

"Crazy, keep up!" Chen Jian reacted quickly, he didn't know what "Yumin" was, he simply thought that there was a bird hidden there.

The three of them quickly ran up to Yumin, and she didn't move a single step at all.

She didn't have the ability to fly, and she knew that she couldn't outrun a human being, not to mention that her legs were already shaking and she couldn't exert her strength.

"It's really Yumin!" Bai Yao was surprised.

The beaked human face completely exposed the panic in his heart, and Yumin fell to the ground with a thud, thinking that he had been targeted by humans for a long time.

"You ...... How do you know I ......?" she burst into tears.

"What are you crying about? The madman shook off the blood from his body in dissatisfaction, "You're lucky, we are going to go to sea, so let's take you with us." ”

"What is this?"

Influenced by the madman, Chen Jian spoke even more politely.

He looked at the bird-girl - it was supposed to be a female, and he thought that it would be too feminine if it were a male - he didn't know what kind of creature it was, and he didn't understand why she had just hidden, and now she was shuddering and weeping.

"This is the feather people," said the madman, shaking his head, "they live in the southeast, and we passed through their country, but we didn't go in to see it. ”

It turned out to be a kind of birdman.

Chen Jian suddenly realized, and he said to Yumin: "I'm sorry, Fang Cai's words were a little rude, and I was affected by this guy." ”

"Oh, what does this have to do with me!" the madman annoyed.

Bai Yao saw that the two of them were about to start fighting again, so he leaned over and stretched out his hand to pull Yu Min up, and said softly: "You must have been separated from the clansmen, right? ”

"I ......"

Yumin's eyes widened.

She suddenly understood the cause and effect: these humans mistook themselves for "Yumin", and the ghost made the gods worse, their own name was almost the same as "Yumin".

She thinks that creation makes people.

If it weren't for this crazy man shouting "Yumin" and making her mistakenly think he was calling herself, she would have slipped away a long time ago.

What to do?

Yumin's teeth chattered.

"She looks quite frightened, was she chased and killed by a bird?" Bai Yao whispered to Chen Jian, and then asked Yu Min instead, "Is a bird chasing you?"

I'm a bird...... Yumin wanted to cry without tears.

She dodged Bai Yao's gaze and whispered, "No." ”

"So what are you afraid of? We're human. ”

Bai Yao couldn't figure it out.

She forcibly grabbed Yumin's wrist—no further up, because there was a sturdy wing skeleton there—and dragged her up from the ground.

When I finally met an aborigine, I had to ask for information about the aborigines from her. With this thought, Bai Yao took Yumin to the beach without saying a word.

"Where are you going?!" Yu Min screamed.

Bai Yao felt particularly harsh when she heard her voice, she walked in front of Yumin, revealing a fierce anger at that moment, but she immediately turned around, showed a calm face, and said:

"Don't be afraid, let's go to your people. ”

Poor Strange Lady...... The humans took me away......

For the first time, Yumin wanted to be by Qiqi's side so desperately.

"What a fuss girl, more than you are a madman. Chen Jian whispered to the madman.

Chen Jian was also frightened by the piercing call, and even felt that he heard the birdsong, and thought that the reconnaissance bird had arrived, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

The madman is too lazy to say anything. He only thought that this girl was a little strange, but he didn't speak, it was better to have more companions than one less on a trip to the South China Sea.

At least when you are attacked by a sea monster, you can use her as a shield.
