That day, Li Yu sat on the mountain for a long time, and he was waiting to come back.

The sky changed from black to white, and again from white to black. Twenty-four hours passed, and he was still the only one in the forest.

Li Yu stayed where he was and continued to wait.

Time pushes everything in the world to keep moving forward, and it will not stop because of anyone.

The second day, the third day, the degree did not come back.

...

On the fourth day, Li Yu's body was stretched to the limit. His eyelids were fighting, and his head was dizzy. He told himself that I couldn't die before people waited.

He stood up from the ground with difficulty, and crawled back to the small villa.

Seeing the pale face of the young man, Uncle Li hurriedly reached out to check his body temperature and had a fever.

He put the man on the bed, found the antipyretic and poured it down, and turned to examine the soles of the young man's feet.

The wounds, big and small, were wrong, and some were already inflamed.

Uncle Li was angry and worried, sighed, and went to cook some porridge.

Li Yu had been hungry for a long time, but his stomach could not sense hunger, so he took two bites, and the corpse lay still on the bed.

Uncle Li couldn't see his dead appearance, so he couldn't help saying, "Mr. Cheng will be fine."

Li Yu turned over and looked straight at the old man, "Then why hasn't he come back?"

Uncle Li opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Li Yu pointed his butt at the old man, staring blankly at the white wall in front of him, "Uncle Li, in fact, I know that the extent is this island."

Uncle Li's always calm face turned pale, and he was really surprised, "How do you know?"

Li Yu didn't speak and closed his eyes.

Uncle Li was guarding at the head of the bed. He knew that the young man hadn't slept, and his heart was entangled and uncomfortable.

He was also worried about the extent of the disappearance, but he couldn't show it. There were only two adults in this villa except the children. If he also fell, who would take care of the children and appease the youth.

"I'll tell you the matter, so that you can sleep and sleep." Uncle Li sighed, took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket and lit it.

The smoke rose, and there was no choking nose of inferior smoke. Li Yu wrinkled his nose and was stunned for a while. After the smoke, a carp sat upright by the bed, "Uncle Li, the smoke is for you? Have you seen him? What? when?"

Uncle Li was not at all shocked by the three consecutive questions, and after a back and forth, he said slowly, "He came back before the accident in Qianshan, and I asked me to take care of you."

Li Yu's eyelashes drooped and his voice was low, "Did he say anything else?"

Uncle Li said yes, "He said he would be back soon."

It's the fourth day, and the man hasn't come back, and soon it's just rhetoric.

Seeing that the youth's mood did not improve, Uncle Li was worried, "Since you know that he is not an ordinary person, you should have more confidence in him. The island is still there, which means that he is still alive."

He dragged the young man off the bed, pulled him to the window and pointed into the distance, "Every one of the grass and trees outside is him. He didn't leave, he was always there."

Li Yu looked at the mountains that stretched for more than 300 miles, ups and downs, as green as ever.

He told himself that the man was right, he might just go to sleep.

As for when to wake up, when the other party woke up, he was still there, whether he was too old, no one knew.

Li Yu asked the system, "1551, will I leave this world first?"

1551 said he didn't know, "Calm down and let's go."

Li Yu was silent for a while, then turned to look at Uncle Li, "I want to go to Qianshan to see."

Uncle Li disagreed, "Wait until the fever subsides and the foot injury heals."

It was probably because of a sudden hope, Li Yu's body recovered quickly, and as soon as the scab on the soles of his feet fell, he clamored to go out.

This time Uncle Li didn't stop him and asked him to pay attention to safety. After that, he found a backpack out of nowhere and stuffed it with food.

He said, "Every fortnight, the level will replace the food in this villa with fresh ones for emergencies."

Li Yu's backpack stopped, "He knew there would be today?"

"The people in the town have been paying attention to the gold mines, just because they can't enter the mountains, so they compromised temporarily." Uncle Li sneered, "If there is a chance to find the specific location of the gold mines, do you think they will be as peaceful as before?"

The answer is obvious, no.

** was only temporarily suppressed, but did not disappear, not to mention the ** in the hearts of the townspeople, which had already deteriorated under the ravages of time and became obsession.

The gold wire bulb lying on the side is the best proof.

Even in death, the thirst for gold mines still lingers.

Li Yu, "Uncle Li, do you also know about gold mines?"

Uncle Li's mouth twitched, and he wanted to make a fool of himself, "Listen to what you mean, I already knew this before? That kid told you?"

Li Yu said, "I guessed it. Later, Mr. Cheng personally confirmed my guess."

Uncle Li's eyes were complicated, and he shook his head with a smile for a long time. The townspeople couldn't tell outsiders about the existence of the gold mine because of their selfishness.

Not to mention that kid, the gold mine is his muscles and bones, telling others is tantamount to exposing his weakness.

"He cares about you very much." Uncle Li laughed, and the folds deepened. "I know the existence of gold mines because I have always lived in the mountains. I lived in the mountains for twenty years before I became a human being."

Li Yu listened carefully.

Uncle Li said, "In the beginning, the town was very dilapidated, with earthen houses. The townspeople got tired of eating seafood and began to set traps in the mountains to hunt wild animals. Over time, the animals in the mountains became less and less, and some even became extinct. .

"My father was abandoned when he was very young, and he traveled through the mountains all day long. He grew up under the protection of the mountains. Because he couldn't bear the behavior of the townspeople, he often followed the hunters secretly. Destroyed... The townspeople held a grudge against him and beat and kicked his father as soon as he saw him. No way, his father had to hide in the mountains and never went to the town again. Later, he rescued his mother who went up the mountain to collect herbs. After the two fell in love, they had me soon after.

"People at the foot of the mountain were repeatedly damaged by traps, unable to hunt, and began to cut down trees... At that moment, Mr. Cheng woke up. Those who entered the mountain with chainsaws were either lost or tripped by vines and rolled back to the foot of the mountain. , The next day, some people in the town began to say that Houshan was evil.

"At that time, I was only five or six years old, and I often heard from my father that mountains have spirits, and they are alive. Later, when my father got older, I was the guardian of the mountains. Since then, near the log cabin where I lived, I often Appeared hare tangled in vines, unable to escape, and lumps of kobold.

"...I know, it was a gift from the mountains. At that time, Mr. Cheng was more like a baby, and he slept much longer than he was awake. When he was asleep, the mountains and forests would be very quiet, as if everything was afraid of disturbing him. "

Uncle Li stopped, his eyes fixed on the woods in the distance, probably thinking of bad memories, and his expression was a little sad.

Li Yu waited for a while and asked softly, "And then."

Uncle Li took a deep look at the young man, and then said, "One day in fifteen years, five people entered the mountain. In those days, it rained heavily, and a place collapsed, exposing a hole. The children followed the cave and got in. , found that it was full of gold, one of them went back to town to get an electric drill, took a little bit as a specimen, and wanted to take it for testing. When he was going down the mountain, he happened to meet my wife and children...

"Influenced by me, my wife and son have special feelings for every plant and tree in the mountain. They were afraid that the existence of the gold mine would attract more townspeople and break the ecological balance on the mountain again, so they approached the five people to negotiate... …”

Hearing this, Li Yu could somewhat guess the follow-up, and then he heard Uncle Li say, "When I arrived, it was already too late, their mother and son were lying on the ground, bleeding a lot... I went up to fight them desperately. , and was finally pushed off a cliff."

Therefore, although the appearance is exactly the same as the person in Uncle Li's photo, it is not Uncle Li's son.

He just became what he was.

Li Yu could basically guess the next story. When he woke up, he knew what happened to Uncle Li's family. He was angry.

"At that time, I was seriously injured. The hundred-year-old herbal medicine in the mountains could not save me, let alone the small clinic in the town. Mr. Cheng could only take it to other places and find a big hospital for treatment."

The story that happened later was similar to what Li Yu had guessed before.

Because he couldn't leave the main body for too long, he returned shortly after leaving.

Later, Uncle Li also returned to the island. Because he didn't go down the mountain, the people on the island didn't know him, so he simply changed his identity.

Uncle Li turned around and went back into the house, sat on the rocking chair, toes a little, and the chair rocked back and forth, "The story is over, let's go down the mountain, go early and come back early."

Li Yu tightened the strap of his schoolbag, "I'll be back as soon as possible."

That memory seemed to have exhausted all Uncle Li's strength. He beckoned tiredly to chase people away, "Let's go quickly, don't harass me to rest."

After he finished speaking, he really closed his eyes and started to fall asleep.

Walking from one end to the other, it consumes not only physical strength, but also mental strength. Seeing the dense forest that seems to have no end, Li Yu has the urge to give up.

This journey took three days, probably because the body adapted to the intensity of exercise, and the last part of the journey was very easy.

Li Yu followed the map provided by the system and climbed the last hill.

On the hillside at the foot of the mountain, trees fell to the ground in various ways, and there was mud that had not yet dried up. In some places, mountain springs continued to gush out, and small rivers and gullies were formed in the places where they passed.

Li Yu put his hand into the water, cool and biting, "1551, is it bleeding?"

1551 said he didn't know.

Li Yu was stunned, thinking that it should be right. Before the landslide, the man's arm lost a piece of skin.

If the surface is the skin, the groundwater should be the blood, the soil is the muscle, and the gold mine is the bone that supports his flesh and body.

"1551, toolbox." Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly shouted, "Give me the Band-Aid."

The band-aid fell into his hand, the box was square, and the pink outer box said "100 pieces".

Li Yu took out the band-aid, studied it carefully, and found that it was similar to the one used in daily life except that the color was more girly.

"Directly stick to the wound?"

"Just follow the instructions for use." After 1551 finished speaking, he helped move the instructions in the box to the light screen and enlarged the fonts thoughtfully.

The instructions show that each band-aid is a one-time use, so it must be fast and accurate when sticking to the wound, and it must be done in one step.

It is also shown above that the Band-Aid is an organic substance that can be absorbed by the body or degraded naturally by the soil.

Li Yu, "..." So advanced.

There are too many places where groundwater seeps out in the front mountain. Li Yu looks for one by one and sticks them one by one. The band-aids are amazing. The stickiness is not affected by the water flow.

Worrying about the target was healed by the Band-Aid.

This thing is so powerful, the level should get better soon.

Li Yu worked harder and harder. In less than an hour, the devastated front mountain was decorated with warm pink color.

"Fuck, Lin Zhouzhou!"

There was a surprised cry right in front of him, Li Yu raised his head in response, and saw the fifth one covered in mud, as well as Sister Lan and her boyfriend.

There was a clay doll hanging in the arms of the fifth child, probably hungry and tired from crying.

These people were the only ones who helped him when he was in trouble.

Li Yu bent over and blocked a seepage with a Band-Aid. When he got up, the three three and one small just walked in front of him.

Seeing that the puddle at his feet was clear, the fifth squatted and washed his face. He got up and looked at the young man, "Lin Zhouzhou, where the hell have you been? Have you seen Mr. Cheng? We've been looking for him."

"Aren't you afraid of him?" Li Yu didn't answer directly.

"Afraid?" The fifth brother suddenly realized, "You mean they say he is a monster? I'm afraid of a bird, I don't believe it."

Li Yu was silent.

With a boyfriend to take care of, Sister Lan was just a little tired. She looked up and down at the young man, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're not injured, is Uncle Li also with you?"

"Uncle Li is safe." Li Yu changed the subject and pretended to ask, "How is the town, how about the others?"

"Other people..." Thinking of the previous mountain cracking, the blood on Sister Lan's face faded away.

Inun Tou supported her swaying body and answered instead, "All the houses in the town collapsed. As for the others, a few ran away in boats, and some were swept away by mudslides, and their lives and deaths are unknown."

Li Yu asked, "Has the water in the town receded?"

"No, so we stayed on the mountain to see if there were any survivors."

"Is there?" Li Yu already knew the answer when he asked. Today is the eighth day.

Inun Tou frowned, "No."

Li Yu snorted, "I still have something to do, I'll go first."

The old five hooked his neck, "Go to Mr. Cheng? Don't go, we came from that direction, no one."

Li Yu pushed the arm around his neck away, "I'll take a look."

The old five and his party were already exhausted, they really didn’t want to toss, and planned to rest in place. Sister Lan said, “The mountains and forests in this area were washed away by the muddy water, and all the snakes hidden in the cave came out, especially at night, you should pay attention to safety. , we'll stay here and wait for you to come back."

Li Yu, "Okay."

Looking at the slender back that is walking away, the fifth is not very relieved, "He won't lose his mind."

Although the youth has not been here for a long time, it can be seen from the tiredness between him and the degree that the two have a deep relationship.

The relationship between a man and a man is no different from the relationship between a man and a woman. It's all love. He was depressed for a while because of the death of his wife and children, but in the end he didn't think about it and jumped into the sea.

He, an old fritters who have been flogged by society, can't stand it, can the youth really stand it?

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He took out the little baby in his vest and stuffed it to Sister Lan, "I'll go see him."

In order not to arouse the suspicion of Sister Lan and the others, Li Yu deliberately walked away.

The destruction of this forest was not that serious, only five Band-Aid was consumed, and just as he was about to shift his position, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a person standing in the distance.

Li Yu stood up straight and looked over with squinted eyes, "Why are you here?"

"Don't worry about you alone." The old fifth said, striding over and glanced at the things in the young man's hand, "What are you doing?"

"Heal Dashan." Li Yu said jokingly.

The old fifth twitched the corner of his mouth and touched the young man's forehead, "You don't have a fever, right?"

"No." Li Yu patted his hand expressionlessly, "Go back, I can do it alone."

The fifth did not leave, and followed behind him step by step.

Li Yu rushed again twice, and gave up, what to do.

The old five watched in shock as the young man took out one band-aid after another and pressed it into the puddle. After he finished speaking, he went crazy. This kid is crazy.

All the places that should be posted are finished, and Li Yu asked the system to check it again to make sure that there are no omissions, and then started to go back.

At this time, the sun has been hiding, there are no trees to cover, and the front mountain is cool.

The road ahead is illuminated by the moonlight, and the puddles scattered everywhere are sparkling, adding a different kind of beauty to the bare hillside.

On the way, the two really encountered a snake.

1551 said, "It is a white-flowered snake, the scientific name is silver ring snake. It is highly poisonous and will actively attack humans."

Li Yu stepped back subconsciously, and the fifth was even more exaggerated, jumped up without any hope, hid behind the young man, and grabbed his shoulders with trembling hands.

The white-flowered snake, which was just passing by, suddenly stopped, raised its head from the ground, spit out a letter, and had green eyes.

The fifth's upper and lower teeth began to fight, clucking, "Why, why don't you leave."

Li Yu's heart beat faster and faster with the rattling behind his ears, "I don't know, run?"

The old fifth stammered, "No, you can't run, snakes are more sensitive to dynamic objects."

Li Yu is worried, what should do? can't just stand here stupidly. What if Brother Snake's younger brother comes and surrounds the two of them.

As soon as the words were finished, Brother Snake suddenly ejected.

The speed was too fast for the two of them to escape. Li Yu felt cold on his neck and something was sliding.

The White Flower Snake raised its head and stared at the fifth, opening its mouth wide to reveal its venomous teeth, and let out a hiss.

It is estimated that he was frightened, but Li Yu actually felt that the snake was angry.

The old fifth was stiff all over, and after reacting, he stepped back again and again, tripped over a rock that came from nowhere, and fell into the pit, with a large piece of wet ass.

Only then did Brother Snake shut his mouth, and slowly circled around the young man's neck, laying still.

Li Yu, "..."

Fifth, "..."

1551, "Interesting."

"Funny shit." Li Yu didn't dare to move, and he was sweating, "Is there any way to get it away?"

1551 said, "No way, just keep a pet."

Li Yu frowned, "I don't catch mice or frogs."

1551 said, "It's not a picky eater."

Li Yu's body is not so stiff, "Do you know something?"

After waiting for a few seconds, the system refused to speak, Li Yu deliberately walked up to the fifth, and stretched out his hand, "Give me your hand and pull you up."

The fifth is in pain, the snake on the young man's neck is terrible, but he seems to have twisted his foot, and his sciatic nerve is also hurting, so he can't stand up on his own.

While observing the White Flower Snake's reaction, he raised his hand tremblingly.

Seeing that the two's fingertips were about to touch, Li Yu felt that the coolness on his neck was gone, he slid down his arm, and finally stopped on his wrist.

The White Flower Snake opened its mouth again, revealing its poisonous teeth...

Li Yu retracted his hand, closed the snake's mouth with his fingers, and stared at the black bean eyes, "How much?"

The fifth was so frightened that his whole body went weak. Hearing the young man shout like this, he became even softer, "Brother, you really don't have a fever? This is a fucking snake!"

Li Yu was a little uncertain, so he gathered up his courage and pulled the snake off his wrist with his bare hands, making a gesture of throwing it away.

The white-flowered snake is very shameless, and hurriedly wrapped the young man's fingers with the tip of its tail

Li Yu, "..."

The case is broken.

The degree is that the island is not a snake spirit, there should be some consciousness integrated into this snake, just now.

Because of jealousy.

Li Yu shook the snake in his hand, "I have raised this snake, don't be afraid, don't bite."

Fifth, "..."

If want to cry, it's not ordinary people who can date Mr. Cheng.

From this day on, Li Yu has always been wrapped around a sticky snake, whoever gets close to the youth will face the threat of poisonous fangs.

The water in the town receded after seven days, and the streets were full of fish and shrimp left by the sea, kelp and seaweed, and the buildings were scattered.

The old five and three worked together to clear the garbage in the corridor of the building and live in the previous room. Whenever they had time, they would go to Street Zero to collect various tools and accessories to repair various destroyed equipment.

Soon after, the town restored the water supply and power supply, but the only trouble was that it was not possible to go overseas to purchase.

Until one day, when the fifth man was picking up crabs at the seaside, he found a returning boat.

At that time, flash floods and mudslides broke out, and everyone rushed to escape. Several people were particularly impressed by the fifth.

They didn't run very fast. After getting on the boat, because the person who arrived in the wheelhouse ahead of time asked to wait for the others, they worked together to knock them unconscious, throw them out, and drove the boat away.

Things are unpredictable, the ship wandered around for three months, and ran back by itself.

When the boat docked, the fifth man dropped his fishing rod and jumped on it, opened the cabin, and there was nothing but two dead fish.

You don't have to guess to know that the people inside must have fallen into the sea to feed the fish.

There is a means of transportation, but there is no fuel, and it is no use.

I don't know if God took pity on them, but on the afternoon of the fourth day, the fuel was delivered to the door.

There are a lot of things hidden in the small villa of the degree, fuel for yachts and planes, kotani piled up in hills, and a safe full of cash.

After knowing that the fifth one had picked up a boat, Li Yu immediately went to the basement and brought two barrels of oil.

The fifth brother was so happy that he could not close his mouth. Just about to give the brothers a good hug, the white snake wrapped around a mosquito coil sticking to the young man's abdomen stuck his head out.

Fifth, "..."

Li Yu pressed down the snake's head and asked the fifth son, "Are you going?"

The fifth was stunned for a moment, scratching the back of his head, "Don't go, just a few of us live in such a big place. It's so cool that the fool will leave. I'll go out to buy something, and I'll be back in a day at most."

Li Yu nodded, "Uncle Li and I will move back in two days."

The old fifth put the fuel on the boat, filled the fuel tank, and went to the operation room.

Knowing that he was going to test the boat, Li Yu hurriedly jumped on it, wanting to follow him, but before he could stand firm, the snake hidden in his clothes jumped out, quickly slid across the deck, and slipped away.

The young man chased all the way to the woods.

Probably because it was soaked in the sea, the woods by the beach had grown terribly in just a few months, and the trunks of the trees were densely packed together, and Li Yu could not find any trace of the snake at all.

He raised his hand and circled it in a megaphone, "Degree."

The bird that was quietly resting on the treetop suddenly fluttered its wings in fright, Li Yu raised his head, and was inexplicably afraid.

Swallowing his saliva, he shouted again, "Degree."

This time, it wasn't just the cacophony of birds, but the rustling of the branches being shaken and the leaves rubbing together.

Something is coming.

Li Yu broke out in a cold sweat and ran away.

The weird rustling above his head is expanding, surrounding him from all directions, and an unprecedented sense of crisis has blocked him in the dense forest.

The forest, which is obviously not big, seems to be magnified many times. No matter how much you run, it will eventually return to its original place.

The sound of heartbeat and gasping lingered in the chaotic brain, Li Yu's tired eyes darkened, one staggered and fell face down.

The pain was inevitable, Li Yu subconsciously supported the ground with his hands, but he felt something thick and cold.

It's not a snake, it's something else.

The thing slid through his palm and quickly wrapped around his waist, saving him from the crisis of his face on the ground.

Li Yu saw clearly that it was a vine.

His heart beat faster, he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, his eyes were hot.

An invisible hand grabbed his chin and lifted it up.

Li Yu was stunned, and then felt that his lips were sealed by another pair of lips, and a tongue stuck into his mouth, sometimes gentle, sometimes rough.

In the empty air, black hair gradually appeared, a pink band-aid was attached to a smooth forehead, and eyes that were covered by eyelid...

The fifth man searched all over the boat and under the boat and couldn't find the young man. He was not reconciled and shouted a few more times, but there was no response.

He was a little panicked and expanded his search range, and finally heard a strange sound in the woods.

It's like someone is clapping and clapping.

The fifth wanted to find out, but he couldn't get close, so he walked around and went back to his original position.

Evil, so fucking evil.

After thinking about it, he left a line on the beach with his foot and ran away.

The degree is back.

Inexplicably disappeared, and inexplicably appeared.

After greeting the few remaining people on the island, he personally went to the mountains, picked up Uncle Li and Lin Xiaozhou, and settled in the former house.

The first thing Lin Xiaozhou did when he came back was to go to the room to find his brother.

His brother was sleeping, and his mouth kept snoring, like a pig.

Lin Xiaozhou closed the door, went back to the living room, and found that the big bad guy was drawing on the white paper.

Although this person is quite annoying, but haven't seen him for a while, and can't help but miss him.

Lin Xiaozhou moved his butt to the sofa and approached quietly.

Glancing at him, he stretched out his hand and carried the person to his lap, "If you want a hug, just say it clearly, it's giggling."

Lin Xiaozhou struggled a few times symbolically, and said with a blushing face, "I don't have..." But he dishonestly grabbed the big villain's clothes by the waist.

Finally being hugged, the child was satisfied, and then moved his eyes to the coffee table, "What are you painting?"

Degree, "Draw a picture."

Lin Xiaozhou, "..."

While drawing house plans, he intends to rebuild the town flat.

Li Yu woke up and asked the system to apply chrysanthemum cream. His buttocks were healed, but his legs were still hurting.

He walked out of Dawaiba, and found that one big and one small were whispering to their heads.

Seeing that the young man was strenuous to walk, the degree passed, and he picked him up and put him on the sofa.

Li Yu hugged the pillow, stretched his neck and looked at the coffee table. There was a pool of white paper on it, and there was something hidden under the pieces of white paper.

"What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing." As soon as he woke up, he was full and full of energy. He leaned over and hugged the young man in his arms. "What does your ideal home look like?"

On this topic, Li Yu has a lot to say.

He recounted all his longings for a sea-view room.

The degree is thoughtful.

Half a year later, the dilapidated town disappeared along with the 30-story building, and several small villas were built.

The most eye-catching is the small white building on the artificial hillside.

The exterior walls of the villa are snow-white, and the left and right are split.

In order to face the sea, he deliberately removed a part of the forest that was blocking his view in front of him.

On the day that Li Yu moved in, he also received a small gift, the living Erha.

In the second year, Lin Xiaozhou was sent to a certain elementary school in the inland and could only come back to live for two days on weekends.

In the third year, Sister Lan became pregnant and gave birth to a little princess.

In the fourth year, when the little princess was one-year-old, Lin Xiaozhou stole a kiss. Half an hour later, when she learned of the extent of his hooliganism, she beat the child to the point of calling her father.

...

In the warmly lit room, the calm water in the bathtub suddenly moved, and the young man lying underwater was struggling.

Bubbles came out of his mouth one after another, bursting without a chance to jump out of the water and disappearing into the water.

As the youth struggled more and more violently, the water in the bathtub was swung out and fell to the ground. Finally, a hand broke free from the water, grabbed the edge of the bathtub, and rescued the body buried in the water.

Li Yu covered his chest and coughed and rolled his eyes, only two words in his heart, numb.
