Chapter 200 Proposal
Mei Lin followed Long Tao, with a hint of anxiety on both of them. Long Tao was holding 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 saved 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 turned red. It seemed that she was running all the way from the cafeteria. The brother she mentioned was Li Huaiqing. Li Huaiqing is now equivalent to the headquarters in a small town. Anyone who wants to contact someone who is not around will look for him.
Gu Yu and the gatekeeper disappeared together. This message did not make me feel nervous. I smiled. Long Tao glared at me and asked, "Why are you laughing? Did you get stupid when you went out?"
I glanced at him and said that the old man would not hurt Gu Yu. With Gu Yu's ability, is he the one who can kidnap him?
But Long Tao said that he knew people and faces but not the heart. What if the old man pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger and tricked Gu Yu out and killed him and murdered him?
I told Long Tao not to be anxious first, and then I explored mental power around to find the brain waves of activity. Li Huaiqing's superpower level was not enough, and my casting range was wider than him. Finally, I sensed two brain waves in the mountains and forests many miles away from the west wall of the city.
Long Tao learned that Fang Jie was going to kill him immediately, so I stopped him quickly. He screamed loudly. A Ying hugged Nini and came back from the riverside. He happened to hear him calling the captain in danger.
"What happened? Didn't the captain go out for a walk with Grandpa Jiang? What happened to them? Was there an attack?" A Ying asked nervously.
When Long Tao heard this, he stopped desperately and said, "What? Go for a walk?"
A Ying looked at him with a puzzled look: "Yes, the captain said."
I looked at Long Tao with a funny look. His shocked look made it seem like the camp was attacked by terrorist attacks. I took Nini from A Ying's hands, and I was close to my face and showed my intimacy.
Cao Baoyang and Wang Qi walked over with a shopping cart, which contained the washed sheets and clothes. When Cao Baoyang saw me and talked to Wang Qi, he let go of the shopping cart and ran towards me.
I touched his head. He now looks like an ordinary child, with a bright smile and a bright eyes. He runs out all day long and often helps the adults with work.
"Don't worry, your captain is not a child."
"No, the old man's injury has not healed yet, so where can I go to disperse it!" Long Tao quickly retorted.
I said, "Don't worry, Gu Yu will not have any trouble. They may not want others to hear it when they go away."
Long Tao shook his head and said that the old man must have had a conspiracy.
This is not the first time that the small town has accepted outsiders. Even Meilin, we have accepted them. I think Long Tao’s vigilance against the gatekeeper is a bit unusual.
Although Long Tao likes to bicker with me, his IQ is always online and he will not be on guard against someone for no reason. I couldn't help but be cautious and asked: "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 urge him. He thought for a while before saying, "When I was delivering food to him, I heard him talking to himself in the door, first saying 'I found him', and then saying 'I must die, die'. I thought he was talking nonsense, but when he pushed the door in, he opened his eyes, sat on the head of the bed, looking out the window, as if he was really talking to someone. Now he made an appointment with the captain outside the city, and he could go so far to say something? I was worried that he was a spy and a killer sent from a safe area or another camp."
When the gatekeeper came back, he did have a high fever. Meilin's treatment ability was only level D, which cured ordinary headaches and fever, wind and cold diarrhea or mild external injuries quickly, but the gatekeeper's injury was not five, and it would definitely not be cured in seven days.
"Are you sure? His eyes can't see." Meilin looked at Long Tao, "I tested it when I treated him, and his eyes were completely blind."
"That doesn't prove anything. If someone talks to him outside the window, he doesn't need to look at him." Long Tao argued.
"Okay, I'll go and have a look." I handed Nini back to A Ying, and while teleporting, I also paid attention to the changes in the two brain waves.
When I moved to the forest where they were, one of the brain waves had obvious and violent ups and downs, indicating that the person's emotions were fluctuating greatly.
I approached the place where they were standing and heard an old voice shouting: "No life without death - no life without death!"
He was obviously emphasizing the importance of this sentence, and Gu Yu's light voice pushed back the dying low shout: "I have decided."
I thought it was not good. The old man really wanted Gu Yu to die, so he rushed to them. When the old man saw me, he was a little angry at first, and then his eyes suddenly became very strange.
But I immediately realized that there was something wrong with his eyes, and he should be blind. The surface of his two yellowed eyeballs was covered with gray fascia-like things, and his pupils could not be seen at all.
When he looked at me, his eyes did not fall directly on my face, but on his left shoulder. His eyes suddenly widened and the surprised expression on his face gave me the feeling that he was staring at me and seeing something wrong.
"Xiao Rou." Gu Yu was no different from usual. He walked over and pulled my hand, and asked softly: "Is it going well when I came back?"
"It's nothing, what are you talking about?" I asked casually, and my eyes turned around Gu Yu and the gatekeeper.
"Mr. Jiang proposed to set up a formation for the small town."
"Deploy the formation? OK, Mr. Jiang still understands this, it turns out he is an expert."
"He doesn't know that there is a place, and I hope we can get it back and use it."
The gatekeeper said at this time: "Building modern fortifications requires not only the same materials, but also the same people. There are no ones who understand construction projects, and there are no vehicles and machinery. The time spent on repairing according to the original method is unestimated."
Although what he said was reasonable, I just heard that they were not discussing this, so I pretended to be stupid: "What did you say that you are immortal? Is it related to this formation?"
The gatekeeper looked at Gu Yu subconsciously. Gu Yu held my shoulder and shook his head and said, "No, it is necessary to sacrifice when taking the formation. Mr. Jiang is willing to make that sacrifice, but I didn't agree."
The gatekeeper showed an anxious expression, his arms shaking with a wooden stick. The blood stain on his face had been washed away. A face like an old tree bark, and the facial muscles were slightly trembling due to emotional excitement.
He said: "This place is not safe. For everyone's sake, what's the point of sacrificing me a bad old man."
After saying that, he called me: "Miss, as long as you set up the ancient formation, you can keep your family and friends safe. I don't care. Half of the loess is buried, and there are not many days to live, and your eyes cannot see anything. Think about it carefully."
The diary did not mention that the gatekeeper's eyes could not be seen. My heart was thrilled. I wanted to say whether it was because I had my preconceived ideas. In fact, this person was not the gatekeeper?
"Grandpa Jiang, we have psychics in the healing system. Your injuries and eyes will be cured in the future."
"Girl, let me tell you, I'm already poisoned. The amount of poison is faster than the treatment. It's useless. Listen to my advice and take out the formation while I'm still useful. You can think clearly and don't wait until the future will regret it."
A violent cough interrupted his words. He seemed to want to say something, but he coughed so much that his lungs were almost vomiting, and he couldn't even say a complete word.
Gu Yu and I sent him back to the small town and asked Meilin to treat him. Although the cough stopped, the person fell asleep because he was too tired.
When Long Tao saw that Gu Yu was fine, he returned to the kitchen with a kitchen knife to continue cooking. I pulled Gu Yu back to the room. Without waiting for me to ask, he explained the content of the conversation between the two.
Grandpa Jiang is named Jiang Yongling. He is a local. He was born in a small village near a farmhouse. He worked as a soldier when he was young. After he was discharged from the army, he returned to his hometown to farm. A few years ago, he suffered from eye disease and sold his land at home and went to the city for surgery.
Because there was no land to plant, he went to the newly opened farmhouse to work as a guest shop, where he was eating and living. When the disaster broke out, his eye disease suddenly deteriorated and he could not see anything at all.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but interrupt him and asked, "Is he not the gatekeeper?"
The content in the diary is very detailed, as detailed as how many meals the survivor eats every day, what is the weather like that day, whether it is cloudy or cloudless, and how did the recorder know these things if he can’t see things?
Gu Yu said: "He is, since his eye disease worsens, he doesn't use his eyes to see things."
I said even more puzzledly: "If you don't use your eyes to see things, what should you use? Your mouth?"
Gu Yu pointed to the position of his heart and said, "Have you heard of the mind and eyes? It is also a kind of supernatural power."
I was surprised and said, "Isn't my mind just a perspective? Oh my mom, have I been exposed?"
Gu Yu gently patted the top of my head, as if he was punishing me for being inappropriate. He looked around the mountains and forests around him and said slowly: "You can understand that he has a pair of eyes that can see the essence through appearance."
This statement is a bit abstract to me, and the appearance is easy to understand. What is the essence? A tree and a flower, their appearance and essence are the same in my opinion.
I suddenly thought, "Can he see who is a good person and a bad person at a glance?"
Gu Yu smiled: "He can tell at a glance that you are my wife."
I punched him, "Who are we two inappropriate? Now we are talking about serious things!"
Gu Yu blinked innocently and said, "I'm telling the truth. When you went to call Meilin, he secretly said something to me."
I stared at me and waited for a long time, but Gu Yu shut up and had no intention of saying anything. I was so angry that I punched him again, urging him to speak quickly. It was too uncomfortable to hang him up or down.
Gu Yu clenched my fist and said, "He said, you are my thousand-year-old waiting."
"It's over?"
"Um."
"What are you waiting for, old enemy?"
"Can he finish the following words? Of course he is his wife."
I was amused by his confidence. When I remembered the gatekeeper's suggestion, I stopped my smile and looked at Gu Yu and said, "You really don't think about his proposal?"
It must be admitted that after the gatekeeper's persuasion, I was a little moved at that time. I used an old man who was in dying years and was poisoned by the vengeance of the tranquility of the city to exchange for a large formation that preserved the small city. No matter how we thought, it was all we had made, but this thought also scared me, because it came from my sincerity, not by another person, and I couldn't help but wonder if this was the subtle influence of the demon pill on me, and it was making my heart cold and hard.
"Let's go to the island to find someone first." Gu Yu said without any refusal.
