If I had been in this environment a year ago, I would have been frightened to see such a picture again, but I have experienced a lot this year, and I have seen a lot of things, and I will naturally have immunity psychologically.

To use a more vulgar word to explain what I am now, is that I am gallant.

The human eye in the photo will definitely not move, and the reason why there is such an illusion is, to put it bluntly, a perspective problem.

I put down the photo and looked at the ancestral hall again, but I didn't find anything abnormal, so I could only sigh silently in my heart and go home.

But when I was about to leave the ancestral compound, I reached out and pushed the courtyard door, but found that the door was locked.

Don't look at these two doors have been seriously rotten on the surface, but they are very strong, I pushed hard a few times but didn't push them open, and in desperation, I could only show my left fist and smash the door panel with one punch.

Broken pieces of wood flew everywhere, and when I stepped over the threshold, I crouched down and looked, and saw a strong brass lock hanging from the thick plank with the nose of the door.

It seems that when I entered the ancestral hall just now, someone followed me, but this guy's steps were so light that I didn't notice his whereabouts at all.

Because there was a lot of noise when he smashed the door, he startled Li Huaishan, who was stationed in the village, and heard him tear up his voice and shout: "Da Fei, what's the situation over there?" ”

As I built the copper lock, I replied loudly, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”

With that, I put the copper lock in my backpack and went back to the yard where the old cat was camped.

Li Huaishan was waiting for me at the gate of the courtyard early in the morning, and as soon as I entered the alley, he quickly came over and handed me a rice jar with instant noodles: "Old cat's jar, eat it while it's hot." ”

I took the rice jar and asked Li Huaishan in a low voice: "Did anyone leave during the time I went out just now?" ”

Li Huaishan shook his head: "No, everyone is here, what's wrong?" ”

I frowned: "It seems that in addition to us, there are other people in the village, with bright eyes, staring at the entrance and exit of the courtyard." ”

Li Huaishan nodded.

I was still a little uneasy, and said to him: "Don't make a noise about this matter." ”

Li Huaishan still nodded, and then said to me: "Everyone is tired, the old cat just asked me, can you let everyone sleep for a while now." ”

I said, "Sleep, you can sleep for a while, I'll keep an eye on the outside." ”

Li Huaishan: "Okay, wait for me to get up and then take your shift." ”

I took a bite of the hot noodles and said no, let him sleep as long as he wanted, and get up before the sun sets.

It's not polite to say this, I know that Li Huaishan is also tired, but I haven't felt tired yet, and I guess even if I can't sleep for the next two or three days, I won't feel anything.

Ever since the Innate Wonder Vein became the Acquired Steel Bone, although I have lost the self-healing ability I had in the past, my extreme abilities in all aspects have been greatly improved.

Strength, endurance, and concentration are much stronger than before, although I still haven't figured out the difference between acquired steel bones and congenital steel bones, but the two have a lot in common, that is, to carry and toss.

Li Huaishan was almost at the limit, and he didn't talk to me, and immediately went back to the tent to rest, and the others saw that I was back, as if they were relieved, and stretched their waists one by one and got into their respective tents, only the old cat was still sitting sullenly on the periphery of the camp, smoking alone.

When everyone else had begun to rest, the old cat patted his ass and stood up, and approached me lightly.

I sat at the gate of the courtyard, squinted at him, and said, "Go to sleep, just watch outside." ”

The old cat smiled, sat down slowly in front of me, and asked me, "Little brother, I'm curious, what are you doing?" ”

I also gave him a smile: "I'll explain it to you if I have a chance." Go to sleep. ”

The old cat seemed a little unwilling, turned his head and walked a few steps towards the tent, and suddenly turned around again, approached me and asked, "We won't have any accidents this time, right?" ”

To be honest, I didn't want to answer this question at all, but when he had finished asking it, he stared straight at me, as if he wouldn't go away if I didn't give an answer that satisfied him.

The problem is that I am not one who can comfort him because I don't lie.

I sighed inwardly and finally told him truthfully, "Nine times out of ten, there will be an accident." So, you better rest and rest, and have enough energy to deal with the next thing. ”

Old Cat: "What could happen?" ”

I shook my head: "It's hard to say right now. But no matter what happens, I'm going to do everything I can to keep you safe. ”

The old cat was silent for a while, nodded, and said, "That...... These people are counting on you. ”

As he spoke, he deliberately raised his chin towards the tent, as if the "these people" in his mouth meant the mines, and did not include himself.

I smiled helplessly: "You can't completely count on me, I can only do my best to protect you, as for how many people will survive in the end, it depends on their creation." ”

The old cat's eyes widened suddenly: "What do you mean?" Are you saying that this time, someone will die? ”

I told him truthfully, "There is a good chance of a dead person. Don't forget, when Qingpizi led people into the mountains, he was the only one who got out alive. ”

The old cat looked at me in a daze, and didn't say a word for a long time, and I turned my eyes to the side, deliberately not looking into his eyes, just because I couldn't accept his expectant gaze.

I can't assure the old cat that everyone will be alive when they leave the deserted village, after all, so far, no one knows what will happen next, and I'm not sure if I and Li Huaishan will be able to get out of the way, let alone protect so many people.

After a long silence, it was I who broke the oppressive silence and said to the old cat, "Okay, don't think so much, it's useless to think too much." Go and rest. ”

The old cat stood beside me again, but finally sighed and went back to his tent.

For the next seven or eight hours, there was nothing unusual in the camp, during which time my eyes kept switching between inside and outside the courtyard, except that it was getting darker.

At nightfall, the grasshopper woke up, got out of the tent, lit a campfire, and began to cook.

The others were probably disturbed by the light of the campfire, and they also got out of the tent one by one, Li Huaishan was the last to get up, and most people's faces were full of nervousness, this guy looked sleepy as soon as he came out of the tent, yawning, and walked towards me: "Is there a situation?" ”

I shook my head and then looked at the old cat's tent.

Now everyone had come out, but the old cat's tent was still closed, and the noise outside seemed to be unable to disturb his sleep.

Li Huaishan also turned his head to follow my eyes, looked at the old cat's tent, and then said to me: "On the way, the old cat has been very nervous, and it is estimated that he is tired, so let him sleep a little longer." ”

I stood up and patted Li Huaishan the shoulder.

Li Huaishan suddenly grinned in pain: "Why are you here, I'm damned, it hurts me to death!" ”

I smiled at him, "Have you come to your senses?" ”

Li Huaishan pouted unhappily: "Now it's completely awake." ”

"You take a good look at the others, I'll go up to the roof and take a look." As I spoke, I took a leap of steps and jumped up to the roof of the house.

The night had covered the entire mountainous area, but when I looked towards the entrance of the village, I could still see a white mist like cotton gathering around the village.

The fog seemed to be illuminated by some invisible light, and it was so white that it made people panic.

Until now, the illusion has not dissipated.

Just as I was staring at the fog and frowning, there was a sudden shouting in the courtyard.

Xiao September wanted to go out for convenience, but Li Huaishan didn't let her go out, so the two of them quarreled because of this.

I looked in the direction of the courtyard gate, and saw Xiao Jiu holding his hands and saying to Li Huaishan with a displeased face: "The courtyard is full of you big men, how can it be convenient for me, no, I must go out?" ”

Li Huaishan was also helpless: "What time is it now, you still care about this." Let me tell you, it's quite dangerous out there, and if you get out of my sight and Da Fei, we won't be able to protect you if something happens. ”

Little September: "Yes...... Can...... Let me be here, I can't get out...... I'm going out anyway, so let Mia stay with me. ”

Li Huaishan: "What's the use of her accompanying you." ”

In desperation, I could only jump off the roof, came to Li Huaishan and Xiao Jiu, beckoned to Mia again, and then said to Xiao Jiu: "You go to the corner of the alley to solve it, let Mia look at you, and I look at Mia in the alley." ”

Li Huaishan immediately understood what I meant, and said with a smile: "This is also a way, why don't you think of it." ”

Xiao Jiu's reaction was obviously half a beat slower than Li Huaishan's, and he asked me what I wanted to do.

I didn't bother to explain too much to her, and then I entered the alley and beckoned to her and Mia.

Although Xiao Jiu didn't understand my intentions, she still went to the corner of the alley like a gust of wind, there was a courtyard wall blocking it, and I couldn't see her, so I asked Mia to stand at the mouth of the alley and stare at her, once something happened to her, Mia would tell me as soon as possible.

For fear of an accident, I only kept a distance of about three or four meters from Mia.

Standing in the alley, I still heard Xiao Jiu asking Mia: "Where is Da Fei?" ”

Mia sighed at the corner of the alley: "Don't worry, he's far away from you, you hurry up." ”

After that, Mia and I stopped talking, and the sound of rock music came from September's phone.

To say that this girl is also weird, when she entered the village, she was obviously more nervous than anyone else, but when she arrived, she seemed to have completely forgotten about the fog, and she had to listen to songs when she went to the toilet, I really don't know what she thought in her heart.

After a song was played, Mia was a little anxious, and shouted to Xiao Jiu: "Can you hurry up?" ”

Little September: "Isn't this good, what are you anxious about...... Yes! ”

Before I finished speaking, there was a sudden exclamation from Xiao Jiu's side, I immediately looked at Mia's side, and saw that Mia was also panicked, and she didn't care about Xiao Jiu at that time, so she paused, turned her head and ran towards me.
