Mei Lin followed behind Long Tao, both of them had a touch of anxiety on their faces, Long Tao was still carrying a kitchen knife in his hand, it seemed that it was his turn to cook today.

"Sang Rou, the captain is gone, and the old man he rescued is gone." Long Tao shouted at me as he ran.

"Brother Li can't contact them." Mei Lin was left behind by Long Tao, her face was flushed, it seemed that she ran all the way from the cafeteria, she said Brother Li, it was Li Huaiqing, Li Huaiqing is now equivalent to the main station of the small town, and anyone who wants to contact people who are not around him will look for him.

Gu Yu disappeared with the gatekeeper, this information did not make me feel nervous, I smiled, Long Tao glared at me, and asked, what are you laughing at, did you hit a fool when you went out?

I gave him a blank look and said that the old man would not hurt Gu Yu, with Gu Yu's ability, is he someone who can kidnap him!

Long Tao said that he knew the face but didn't know the heart, what if the old man pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger and tricked Gu Yu out to assassinate him?

I asked Long Tao not to worry, and then leaned out his spiritual power to look for active brain waves, Li Huaiqing's ability level was not enough, my casting range was wider than his, and finally sensed two brain waves in the mountains and forests more than 20 miles away from the west wall of the city.

Long Tao was about to kill him immediately when he learned the location, I quickly stopped him, he screamed loudly, Ah Ying came back from the river with Nini in her arms, and just heard him shouting that the captain was in danger.

"What's wrong? Didn't the captain go out for a walk with Grandpa Jiang? Something happened to them? Attacked? Ah Ying asked nervously.

When Long Tao heard this, he immediately put away his desperate posture and said, "What? Going for a walk? ”

Ah Ying looked at him inexplicably: "Yes, the captain said it." ”

I looked at Long Tao funny, he looked shocked as if the camp had been attacked by terrorists, I took Nini from Ah Ying's hand, and I put my face on the face of Xiao Nizi, expressing my intimacy.

Cao Baoyang and Wang Qi walked over with a shopping cart loaded with washed sheets and clothes, and when Cao Baoyang saw me talking to Wang Qi, he let go of the shopping cart and ran towards me.

I touched his head, and he now looked like a normal child, smiling brightly, with sparkling eyes, running out all day, often helping the adults.

"Don't worry, your captain is not a child."

"No, the old man's injuries are not healed yet, so let's go!" Long Tao quickly retorted.

I said, "Don't worry, Gu Yu will be fine, they may not want others to hear if they go farther." ”

Long Tao shook his head and said that the old man must have a conspiracy.

It's not the first time that the town has accepted outsiders, even Mei Lin and we have accepted, and I think Long Tao's wariness of gatekeepers is a bit unusual.

Although Long Tao said that he loves to quarrel with me, his IQ is always online, and he will not guard against a person for no reason, I can't help but be cautious and ask: "Why do you suspect that he will be unfavorable to Gu Yu?" ”

He was a little anxious, as if he didn't know what to say, I didn't rush him, he pondered for a while, and then said: "When I brought him food, I heard him talking to himself in the door, first saying, 'I found him', and then saying, 'I must die, die', I thought he had a fever and talked nonsense, but when he pushed the door in, he opened his eyes, sat at the head of the bed, looked out the window, as if he was really talking to someone, and now he asked the captain to go out of the city, what could he do to go so far to say?" I'm worried that he's a spy or a killer sent from the safe zone or another camp. ”

When the gatekeeper came back, he did have a high fever, and Merlin's healing ability was only level D, and it was fast to treat ordinary headaches, brain fever, wind chills, diarrhea, or mild trauma, but the gatekeeper's injuries would never be healed in five or seven days.

"Are you sure? He can't see with his eyes. Mei Lin looked at Long Tao, "I tested him when I treated him, and his eyes were completely blind. ”

"That doesn't prove anything, if someone is talking to him outside the window, he doesn't need to look at the other person." Long Tao argued.

"Alright, I'll take a look." I handed Nini back to Ah Ying, teleporting while also paying attention to the changes in the two brain waves.

When I moved to the mountain forest where they were, one of the brain waves had a noticeable violent fluctuation, indicating that this person's mood fluctuated greatly.

As I approached where they were standing, I heard an old voice whispering, "Neither dead nor alive—neither dead nor alive!" ”

He was obviously trying to emphasize the importance of this sentence, and Gu Yu's light voice pushed this dying low voice back: "I have already decided. ”

I can't say it in my heart, this old man really wanted Gu Yu to die, and hurriedly rushed to them, the old man saw me, first a little angry, and then his eyes suddenly became very strange.

But I immediately realized that there was something wrong with his eyes, he should be blind, and the two yellowed eyeballs were covered with a layer of gray fascia-like things, and he couldn't see the pupils at all.

When he looked at me, his eyes did not fall directly on my face, but on his left shoulder, but his eyes suddenly widened, and the look of surprise on his face gave me the feeling that he was staring at me and that he could see the problem.

"Xiao Rou." Gu Yu was no different from usual, walked over and took my hand, and asked softly, "Did it go well when you came back?" ”

"It's nothing, what are you talking about?" I asked casually, my eyes spinning around Gu Yu and the gatekeeper.

"Mr. Jiang proposes to set up a formation for the small town."

"Array? Okay, Mr. Jiang still understands this, it turns out that he is a master. ”

"He won't, he knows a place where it is, and he wants us to get it back and use it."

At this time, the gatekeeper spoke: "To build a modern fortification, not only the materials must be complete, but also the people, and there are no people among you who understand construction engineering, and there are no means of transportation and mechanical equipment, and the time it takes to repair them according to the original method is incalculable. ”

Although what he said was reasonable, I obviously didn't hear them discuss this just now, so I pretended to be stupid and said, "I heard what you said about whether you are dead or not, and it has something to do with this big array?" ”

The gatekeeper subconsciously looked at Gu Yu, Gu Yu pressed my shoulder, shook his head and said, "No, it is a human sacrifice when taking the formation, and Mr. Jiang is willing to make that sacrifice, but I didn't agree." ”

The gatekeeper looked anxious, his arm holding the stick shook, the blood on his face had been washed away, and his face was like old bark, and his facial muscles trembled slightly with emotion.

He said: "This place is not safe, for everyone's sake, it is nothing to sacrifice me as a bad old man." ”

After speaking, he called me: "Girl, as long as you set up the ancient array, you can keep your family and friends safe and sound, I don't care, the loess is half buried, there are not many days to live, and you can't see things with your eyes, think about it." ”

There was no mention in the diary that the gatekeeper's eyes couldn't see, and my heart jumped, and I wanted to say that it was my preconceived idea, but in fact this person was not the gatekeeper?

"Grandpa Jiang, we have a healing supernatural person, your injuries and eyes will be healed in the future."

"Girl, I won't tell you, I've been poisoned, the speed of poison is faster than treatment, it's useless, listen to my advice, while I'm still useful, quickly take out the big array, you think about it carefully, don't wait until you regret it in the future."

A violent cough interrupted his words, and he seemed to want to say something, but coughed so hard that his lungs were about to spit out, and he couldn't say a complete word.

Gu Yu and I sent him back to the town and asked Mei Lin to treat him, although the cough stopped, the person fell asleep because he was too tired.

Long Tao saw that Gu Yu was fine, so he went back to the kitchen with a kitchen knife to continue cooking, I pulled Gu Yu back to the room, and without waiting for me to ask, he explained the content of the conversation between the two as it was.

Jiang's grandfather's name is Jiang Yongling, a local, born in a small village near the farmhouse, he was a soldier when he was young, and returned to his hometown to farm after being discharged from the army.

Because he had no land to plant, he went to work as a waiter at the newly opened farmhouse at that time, where he ate and lived, and when the disaster broke out, his eye disease suddenly worsened, and he could no longer see at all.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but interrupt him and asked, "He's not a gatekeeper?" ”

The contents of the diary are very detailed, down to how many meals the survivor eats each day, what they eat, what the weather was like that day, whether it was cloudy or cloudless, and how did the recorder know about these things if he couldn't see?

Gu Yu said: "He is, since his eye disease worsened, he doesn't need his eyes to see things. ”

I was even more puzzled and said, "You don't need your eyes to see things, so what do you use?" Mouth? ”

Gu Yu pointed to the location of the heart and said, "Attentive, have you ever heard of the heart eye?" It's also a type of ability. ”

I exclaimed, "Isn't the eye of the heart the eye of see-through, oh my mother, am I gone?" ”

Gu Yu gently patted the top of my head, as if to punish me for being indecent, he looked around at the surrounding mountains and rivers, and said slowly: "You can understand that he has a pair of eyes that can see the essence through appearances. ”

This statement is a bit abstract to me, the appearance is easy to understand, what is the essence? A tree, a flower, their appearance and essence are the same in my opinion.

On a whim, I said, "Can he tell at a glance who is the good guy and who the bad guy is?" ”

Gu Yu smiled: "He can see at a glance that you are my daughter-in-law." ”

I punched him, "Who the hell are we who are not serious, now let's get down to business!" ”

Gu Yu blinked innocently and said, "I'm telling the truth, when you went to call Mei Lin, he secretly said something to me." ”

I stared and waited for a long time, but Gu Yu closed his mouth, and had no intention of going down, I was so angry that I punched him again, urging him to hurry up and say, it was too uncomfortable to hang on the ground without going up or down.

Gu Yu clenched my fist and said, "He said, you are my thousand years of waiting." ”

"Finished?"

"Hmm."

"What are you waiting for, nemesis?"

"Do you still use him to finish the rest of the words, of course it's a daughter-in-law."

I was amused by his confidence, and remembering the gatekeeper's suggestion, I suppressed my smile, looked at Gu Yu fixedly, and said, "You really don't think about his proposal?" ”

I have to admit that under the persuasion of the gatekeeper, I was a little tempted at the time, using an old man who had been poisoned by no solution in his last years, and changed to a big array to protect the small city, no matter how I thought about it, we earned it, but this thought also scared me, because it came from my heart, not imposed on me by another person, I couldn't help but wonder if this was the subtle influence of the demon pill on me, which was making my heart cold and hard.

"Let's go to the island and find someone first." Gu Yu said without refusal.
