Blue Star

Gu Li withdrew his hand, "Do you want to spend the night outside?"

After saying that, he turned and went back to the house but did not close the door immediately.

Iris squeezed his arm again, tried to organize his words and said, "If you don't like it, I will just not watch it."

Gu Li still had no expression on his face, but he was very pleased that Iris could say several words in one breath.With a little more practice, you'll soon be able to communicate as smoothly as they do.

The two stood at the door for a long time, as if he didn't give a clear answer, Iris would keep pulling him like this, and said casually: "Only a hooligan would look at a woman like you."

Iris frowned and thought for a while, then said seriously: "Mimir, rascal."

Gu Li was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and laughed uncontrollably.Obviously I was wrong, but I immediately thought about other people's problems.In a sense, Iris is indeed cunning.

He quickly put away his smiling face, withdrew his hand and walked to the place where the map was spread out in front of the dining table, returning to a serious expression and said: "I have to work for a while, if you are tired, you can rest first."

Iris followed in but didn't go to sleep obediently. Instead, he pulled away the chair on Gu Li's right side and sat down. His posture was as correct as soldiers were trained.

The light on Gu Li's ring was dazzling, but even so, he still stared at Gu Li intently.I don't know how long it took, as if the long needle on a pocket watch went around for a full circle, and finally couldn't help but say: "Gu Li, I'm hungry."

A dozen blue lantern mushrooms can't compare to the satiety of a few sea fish, and for Iris, it's just an appetizer.

"You can't eat the mutated bats outside." Gu Li took a pen and added a few more strokes on the map.Seeing Iris turn his eyes to the blue lantern mushrooms lighting up in the room again, he said again: "Blue lantern mushrooms don't work either."

He handed the leftover half of compressed biscuit in his pocket to Iris, "I can only eat this for now."

The tasteless and dry compressed biscuits made Iris feel physically disgusted just by looking at the food packaging.He moved his fingers back and forth on the compressed biscuit, looked at the biscuit and looked at the serious Gu Li, then picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth like taking medicine.

It's not really that bad, it's just that food that is too dry will absorb the moisture in his mouth, and the sticky feeling like lack of water makes him very uncomfortable.

Gu Li took a sip from the teacup filled with fruit tea, put down the cup and handed it over and asked, "Do you want to drink?"

There was light in Iris' eyes, and after taking it, he drank all the fruit tea at the place where Gu Li drank water.It's just that the cup is made of wood, and there are tooth marks on the rim of the cup after being drunk by Iris.If he tried harder, the wooden cup would probably be eaten too.

After drinking the water, Iris wanted to take out the soaked flesh with his fingers, but when he thought of the eating etiquette that Gu Li taught him, he could only withdraw his hand and poke with a fork.However, the force was too great and the fork was deformed due to the force, and it directly pierced the bottom of the cup.

He hurriedly straightened his sitting posture as if he had done something wrong, and seeing that Gu Li didn't pay attention to him, he carefully moved the cup to the corner of the table, pretending to knock the cup under the table unintentionally, and then kicked it to hide in the corner.

"Don't move." Gu Li put down the blueprint in his hand and bent down to look down.

Iris stretched out his legs to try to block the cup he poked.

Gu Li opened the stool and squatted down, "Open your legs."

"..."

Seeing Iris not moving, Gu Li simply got up and walked around to the other side of the dining table.Next to the overturned cup, a piece of fuse soaked with tea stains lay dimly on the table leg, as if it had been accidentally left behind.

He turned the ring to increase the lighting range, and carefully checked the corners of the rooms in the house. After finding nothing unusual, he looked back at Iris who was sitting upright.

"The cup is broken, let Mimier make one and return it tomorrow." Cut off the magnetic field of the lighting, put away the blueprints on the table and get on the bed.After waiting for a while, he said to Iris who was still sitting, "Are you going to sleep at the dining table?"

Iris was relieved that his spouse didn't blame him and even invited him to sleep together!

He quickly got up and lay down next to Gu Li, with his hands folded on his stomach.After Gu Li fell asleep breathing evenly, he gently stretched his arms under Gu Li's neck as usual, and then moved his body so that his spouse could sleep comfortably on him.

The preoccupied Gu Li still frowns even when he is asleep, but as long as he pats Gu Li on the back when he is half asleep and half awake, this person will soon relax his brows and fall asleep peacefully, just like a newborn fish.

People in the tribe get up very early, and before dawn, they can hear the sound of footsteps on the wooden ladder of mushroom caps.Especially on the upper floor of Gu Li's residence, voices could be heard clearly in the room.

"When people die, the goddess Darcy will descend, wearing a dress made of rainbows, leading people to a beautiful heaven." Elder Qin's kind voice sounded, and he looked at the children sitting around with a loving face.

The oldest is only eight years old, and the youngest cannot walk yet.The young boy sat in the bamboo basket with ignorant eyes, and was hugged tightly by his eight-year-old sister protecting him.

The story about the goddess Darcy has actually been heard many times, but every time Mr. Qin tells it, he feels that they are with the goddess.

"Death is not terrible, it is just the only way for you to lead to another beautiful world. In heaven, the floor tiles are made of candy, there are crystal clear palaces, and there is endless food. People don't There will be no more diseases and no hunger, and there will be no monsters that eat people..."

Gu Li frowned, lying on the bed and looking out the window.The children who listened to the story sat from the mushroom cap on the upper floor to the stairs, and he could clearly see the yearning expressions on the children's faces, yearning for heaven and even death.

He had also heard quite a few fairy tales of different kinds in town, but none of them seemed to teach children to expect death.

"Mr. Qin, can wizards really save us?" A seven-year-old girl asked worriedly when she interrupted Mr. Qin's story, holding a freshly picked blue lantern mushroom in her hand.

Sitting on the mushroom cap, Elder Qin was silent for a long time, and then said in a very positive tone: "Of course, wizards can not only save infected humans, but also bring your dead relatives back to life."

The little girl who got the correct answer was full of excitement, and many children who had lost their families also asked questions repeatedly.

"Is it really possible to bring my father back to life? Also, those who left a long time ago... can they all come back?"

The questioning child had tears in his eyes, and he put his right palm on his heart.Such a respectful gesture means the most sacred speech in the tribe.

Elder Qin kindly put his hands on top of the child's head, and replied with a smile: "Yes, they will come back to accompany you forever, I promise you in the name of Goddess Darcy. But before that, you have to experience death test."

The child cried so hard that he put his palm on his heart and looked forward to the moment when his relatives returned to him.

Gu Li opened the door with a sullen face and went out. When the children who were listening to the story saw the wizard, they all saluted him with the most respectful etiquette.

Lies and deceit, Mr. Qin forbade him to answer questions about the infection in the tribe, but wantonly spread rumors that wizards are gods when he didn't know it.

All the children have been infected, and death is only a matter of time.Even if you don't want young children to face the fear of death, you shouldn't deceive them in his name.

Not just children, more and more people looked at Gu Li standing on the mushroom cap.They smiled, looked forward to the future, and prayed to the wizard for blessings with great anticipation.

Gu Li clenched his fists, but just as he was about to tell the truth, a young man infected by the toad stood out from the crowd with a face full of anger.

Said loudly: "Don't be fooled, everyone! Wizards can't cure the infection at all." The boy's infection was worse than anyone in the tribe, and even his vocal cords were affected by the mutation when he spoke.

He walked up to Gu Li with red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Korchi's people are just cruel rulers who only abandon the weak!" He sneered contemptuously: "Cure the infection? It's a joke! They only treat the Infected people were sent into the observation room, and then they did inhumanly cruel experiments! After the wizard left the temple last night, I hid outside and listened..."

Before he could finish speaking, an arrow feather with suppressing crystal ore was suddenly pierced into the young man's forehead.Blood dripped down the back of his head, and his severely mutated right eye looked at Elder Qin who was standing above Gu Li in disbelief.

Elder Qin put down the small crossbow in his hand, and said to the clansmen at the moment the man fell down: "I have received the will of the goddess Darcy, and anyone who disrespects wizards will be sent to hell."

She looked at the whispering and flustered clansmen with firm eyes, "The wizard is the last salvation given to our tribe by the goddess Darcy. If you don't have enough trust, then the difficult-to-treat illness will accompany you forever, until the end of your life. Go to hell at the last second."

Elder Qin put away his bow and crossbow and walked to the edge of the mushroom cap. He lowered his eyebrows and looked at Gu Li on the next floor. His eyes were gentle but seemed to be warning.But soon, her gaze met a pair of more threatening eyes, and she couldn't help but be dazed.Those dark blue eyes are like the color only in fairy tales.

Iris stands in front of Gu Li, he does not allow anyone to threaten his spouse.

The teenager who was shot was surrounded by infected people who saw him off. They had no choice but to trust in the face of death.

Unable to accept the lies, Gu Li left the residence with an ugly expression on his face. When he approached, he grabbed the collar of Dao Porling who was laying crystal mines around the tribe, and asked, "Did you lie to them that the wizard can save people, or did Mr. Qin threaten you to let them go?" You lied to all infected people?"

Dao Porling was not tall, and after being pulled up by the collar by Gu Li, he had to stand on tiptoe uncontrollably.The white beard has obviously been carefully groomed, and there are even delicate twists at the end of the messy beard.

"Wheeze, wheeze, can't breathe!"

Gu Li withdrew his hand angrily, and Dao Porling gasped and said, "Do you treat the old man like this! You almost died."

"Answer me!" Gu Li emphasized his tone.

Dao Porling straightened his beard and said with a smile: "I have said everything I need to say about the infection. Ms. Qin has her own ideas. After all, this is someone else's territory, and we have no right to manage it. Besides, Qin Isn't it a good thing to make people in the tribe respect you all the time?"

Gu Li looked at Dao Porling coldly, "Do you know what the scariest death is? It's when you leave with endless disappointment after giving you enough hope."

"Don't scare me, I don't understand what you say so profoundly." Daoporing patted the crystal mine in his satchel and said, "Those infected people have long since ceased to belong to human beings. When did you have the heart to deal with monsters?" The ones who need protection the most in this tribe are Ms. Qin and her uninfected granddaughter, so don’t worry about the others.”

"Come and see!"

Mimir, who was squatting in a large piece of blue lamp mushroom, suddenly yelled at the two people who were talking. He pointed to the blue lamp mushroom at his feet and said, "There are good things!"

"What did you see again?" Daoporing heard the sound and walked towards Mimir.

Gu Li, who was still angry, calmed down and had to admit that what Dao Porling said was the truth.It's just that in towns, most infected people will be directly killed or exiled. Even if they are pulled to the observation room for experiments, they will not give an impossible lie.Disappointment after gaining hope is more painful than being disappointed in the first place.

Put away the pity you shouldn't have, and walked with Iris to the place where Mimir observed the fungi with a straight face.

A blue lantern mushroom with a distinctive appearance.The stipe is thick, and there is a small slit on the cap, and there are no luminous spores, which wrap the head of the stipe in a budding manner.

This shape is really indescribable, and it resembles the characteristics of a man.Although the colors are different, the uncanny workmanship of nature is vivid.

Gu Li: "..."

Iris: "..."

Dao Porling, who came over first, frowned and said, "Aren't you holding back your opinion? Then I won't say it either."

He closed his mouth, and felt that it would be boring not to say anything, and said: "It's nothing unusual, and it's not true. It's just you, a child, who doesn't learn well every day, and even reads some useless things. "

Mimir retorted in a low voice, "What's useless, mine is quite useful..."

"It's useless, what's the use of a child." After Dao Porling finished speaking, he looked at Gu Li, whose expression had returned to normal. However, it’s not embarrassing to say it.”

Then he disliked Iris, who was watching seriously: "Tell me about you, a fish doesn't have this function, and it grows so big for nothing. What's the use of just looking at it, and it can't grow on you after looking at it."

Iris withdrew his gaze and said disdainfully: "Little."

Dao Porling: "..."

While talking, Xijia avoided the crowd and went down another staircase, and said to the four people gathered together: "What are you looking at? Grandma said that the newcomer ceremony will begin soon."

Hearing the voice, Dao Porling turned around with a smile and waved his hands: "It's nothing, children, don't be curious about everything. Hurry up and go back, we'll come after the crystal mine is released."

However, the more you don't let me see it, the more curious you become. Xijia approached and said, "See, you've been studying it for a long time. What exactly is it?"

Unable to stop the little girl's Taoist spirit, she kicked the special-shaped blue lantern mushroom neatly in a hurry, "It's just a mushroom, it's nothing to look at."

Gu Li: "..."

Iris: "..."

Mimir: "..."
