Chapter 24 The Innocent Fool

During the inspection of the wound, Lin Xiaodong accidentally pulled the wound on Gu Xi's abdomen.

The pain caused the person who was in a coma to groan and wake up. But it is estimated that he has not fully reacted. The man struggled to raise his head and glanced at him blankly.

"......Who are you?"

His voice was hoarse, and his dark eyes seemed to be flawless, but Lin Xiaodong, who knew him too well, could see at a glance the deep vigilance hidden under the man's calm expression, and the trace of bewilderment.

Mermaids can't speak, or rather, they have their own unique language, just like dolphins can communicate using ultrasonic waves that humans can't hear, and can only be heard by normal human ears when they sing.

So Lin Xiaodong opened his mouth, closed it again, and began to use gestures to make various gestures towards each other.

Gu Xi was silent for a moment.

"You can't speak?" He stared at the silver tail behind Lin Xiaodong and asked in a low voice, "Okay, let me ask a question, you just nod or shake your head, okay?"

Lin Xiaodong nodded sweetly, keeping in mind the fact that he was a fool.

"You live here alone?"

nod.

"Have you seen any other humans besides me?"

Shaking his head.

After asking these two questions, Gu Xi took a deep breath. His frowning brows and pale face showed that he was in a very bad state. Lin Xiaodong wanted to know if you could bear it, but you should talk less. Come on, otherwise he'll be crushed into sashimi if it really falls.

System: "You seem to be very concerned about him."

"That's it, a couple in one day and a hundred days." Lin Xiaodong said, and glanced at Gu Xi's left hand.

On the man's ring finger, he wears a black, unknown metal ring.

"Get the hell out of here." He let go of his hands expressionlessly, allowing Gu Xi to fall to the ground.

System: "Didn't you just say husband and wife...?"

"That's because the husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they will fly separately when disaster strikes." Lin Xiaodong said eloquently.

system:"............"

Gu Xi propped himself on the ground, gritted his teeth and slowly got up, looked up, and saw the pure and kind eyes of the mermaid (system: Are you sure?).

The man's face was slightly startled, and his original suspicion was immediately dispelled by seven points. He thought it was because he was too heavy, which made Lin Xiaodong unable to stand still and fell.

"The last question," he said slowly, and said the most earth-shattering thing in the plainest tone, "I have lost my memory, do you know who I am?"

Lin Xiaodong stared at him for ten seconds.

Finally, he silently shook his head.

Gu Xi wanted to say something, but a thick smoke from behind interrupted him.

The two of them turned their heads almost at the same time, and saw that the rescue capsule, which had been destroyed by most of it when it fell, suddenly ignited spontaneously, and the electric sparks flickered along the exposed wires, accompanied by a thick scorch. The smell wafted in the wind, and it seemed that it was going to be unbearable.

Lin Xiaodong's pupils shrank: Damn, he actually forgot about this!

"Come on!"

The man immediately stopped, but Lin Xiaodong didn't need to tell him that the situation was not good, so he took Gu Xi's hand and ran quickly in the direction of Jialan Lake. But one of them walked with their tails, and the other was seriously wounded, and they knew how fast they couldn't run.

It didn't take long for the fire to catch up.

But halfway through, Gu Xi stumbled over the garbage under his feet because he was unfamiliar with the terrain. At the moment when he fell to the ground, the man's face was instantly pale. He covered his abdomen, coughed twice, and said to Lin Xiaodong in a hoarse voice: "You go first, leave me alone."

Lin Xiaodong shook his head frantically.

If Gu Xizhen died here, and when the military personnel came, he would not be able to tell even if he had a thousand mouths!

What's more, Lin Xiaodong didn't want him to die, the little mermaid turned around without hesitation, raised his arms, and dragged him to stumble forward.

Before walking 100 meters, a huge explosion sounded behind him.

The flames that ignited spread along the garbage heap in all directions in an instant, and they were about to pounce!

Gu Xi looked at the mermaid beside him who was sweating profusely but was still gritting his teeth, a strange feeling arose in his heart, he lowered his eyes and said nothing, just grabbed Lin Xiaodong's arm and squeezed out the weakness. With the last strength in his body, he quickened his pace.

There is a vast open space between Jialan Lake and Garbage Mountain. Lin Xiaodong knew that as long as he got there before the fire came over, it would be safe. However, this short distance of less than 800 meters was not enough for them now. But it seemed to be endless.

He could even feel the soaring temperature behind him, and the flames were roasted to the fiery ground and there was a rolling heat wave that almost scalded off a layer of skin on the delicate mermaid's tail.

However, Lin Xiaodong is not the kind of squeamish person. He didn't even snort. He endured the pain and dragged Gu Xi to the open space.

The raging fire burned red for half a day, and the embarrassed two looked at each other and laughed in unison.

Gu Xi didn't laugh a few times before he raised his eyebrows because of the wound. He eased his tense nerves and looked at the dirty face of the mermaid, but his smile was brighter than the brightest firelight, and his eyes were faint. Charlie softened a bit.

"That one just now, was the aircraft I took?" he asked.

Seeing Lin Xiaodong nodding, Gu Xi retracted his gaze silently, looking at the thick smoke that covered the sky in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.

Lin Xiaodong thought about it from another position. Indeed, he didn't know anything. As soon as he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a garbage heap. The only life-saving capsule that could find clues to his identity was burned to the ground. Everyone was depressed.

He shifted his tail and patted the man on the shoulder comfortingly.

"I'm fine." Gu Xi whispered, "Thank you. Do you have a name?"

good question.

Mermaids do not have names, and because of the scarcity of members of the group, there is no complex social hierarchy, and they do not have to use names to distinguish each other. So Lin Xiaodong thought about it, and finally told him his real name by mouth.

"Little...Dong?" Gu Xi responded quickly, "Is it winter in winter?"

Lin Xiaodong nodded.

"Very good," Gu Xi whispered, "I also like winter the most."

Although he has forgotten his identity and past, he still possesses basic common sense. After a short rest, the man stood up and looked in the direction of Jalan Lake and wanted to go there, but was stopped by the little mermaid standing in front of him.

"I can't go?" he frowned and wondered, "Why?"

Because it is the holy land of the mermaid, and humans are not allowed to enter, Lin Xiaodong thought.

In addition to the plot of the original world line, the system also provides some supporting information about this world. The data shows that no matter what kind of human beings, as long as they don't get the sincere recognition of the mermaid, they can't get close to Jialan Lake at all.

Therefore, so far, the only human who has witnessed its true face is only the crown prince Lu Xing.

At the same time, he is also the first discoverer of the Mermaid star.

After a series of dancing gestures, Gu Xi finally got a general understanding of the situation. He respects the culture of the mermaid, but it's troublesome that Lin Xiaodong can't communicate with him properly.

"You really can't speak?"

Lin Xiaodong cleared his throat and said to him in a singing-like tone, "Yes, but it must be done this way."

The mermaid's voice was as beautiful as the sounds of nature, and even Gu Xi couldn't help shaking his head.

The fatigue and pain in his body came like a tide, and he forced himself to stay awake for a while, and it didn't take long before he fell into a drowsiness again.

"...No, my voice has a hypnotic effect?"

Lin Xiaodong looked at him in surprise.

But when he turned his gaze away, he noticed the wetness on the man's black uniform, and immediately reached out to touch it, and sure enough, he was soaked with blood.

After being burned to death, he still lost too much blood and died. He sighed helplessly and returned to the lake. Under the guidance of the system, he collected some medicinal materials that could reduce inflammation and stop bleeding, and prepared to mash it and apply it to the wound.

Feeling the change in the outside world, a strong sense of vigilance awakened Gu Xi from his slumber.

But before the man got up, his pupils suddenly shrank to needlepoints because of the current situation.

The silver-tailed mermaid lowered his head and looked back and forth at his naked/naked upper body with a serious expression that seemed to be studying academics. He still put one hand on his abdomen and touched it, as if he was applying some kind of plaster. kind of thing. And the black military uniform he was wearing was folded and put aside, and together with the white shirt inside, it was all cleaned up.

The light fragrance of grass and trees came, Gu Xi's muscles were tense, and his eyes flashed quickly.

But he did not push Lin Xiaodong away.

Therefore, Lin Xiaodong was able to openly and aboveboard his hands, and took the opportunity of applying the medicine to touch the man's body all over.

"The abdominal muscles are more obvious than before," he said solemnly, "Yes, as expected, what comes out of the army is different."

System: "Shameless."

Lin Xiaodong: "I'm just observing that he has no wounds yet, don't talk nonsense."

System: "Shameless."

The essence of human beings is a repeater, and I did not expect that the system was also infected with this virus. Lin Xiaodong condemned bitterly, and stretched out his sinful hand to the man's lower half/body--

In the end, he was caught by Gu Xi.

"I can't move here." Gu Xi said in a hoarse voice.

The mermaid blinked and withdrew her hand regretfully.

"Who cares," he snorted, "it's not that I haven't seen it before. I also %￥@&... I have."

Unbearable, the system chose to unilaterally block the host for an hour.

Maybe it's because Gu Xi's filter on Lin Xiaodong is too deep. Until now, he has not suspected that the mermaid in front of him is a sandwich with white skin and black filling. After taking the medicine and the wound less painful, he started looking around for a place to stay overnight.

But Lin Xiaodong didn't have this need.

Mermaids usually sleep in Jialan Lake. Although they can also sleep in beds, they are not as comfortable as soaking in water.

Seeing that the man he picked up was ready to build a nest, he also eagerly started to help, and went to the lake to pick up a bunch of branches of different lengths and slender vines. However, it turns out that the only thing he can do to help Gu Xi is to be a disservice. After the third time he accidentally collapsed the house he had built with great difficulty, Lin Xiaodong knew he was wrong and walked to the side obediently, holding his big tail to watch. He is busy.

Gu Xi sighed.

His movements were quick and swift, and he quickly set up a house, or a tent would be more appropriate. It was covered with a canopy made of vines and leaves, and the small space was less than three square meters, which was not bad for a temporary residence.

After finishing his work, Gu Xi bent down and walked into the tent to lie down.

His expression was exhausted, his brows were furrowed, and his angular profile was hidden in the shadows, as if he had endless worries.

Lin Xiaodong glanced at it and backed out silently.

Now that Gu Xi rested, he also returned to the Jialan Lake, letting his body float on the water, feeling the water waves send him to the center of the lake, and above his head there was an endless expanse of sky.

Jialan, in the language of the mermaid, means mother.

This is the mother lake that gave birth to the mermaids, and it is also the last pure land on the entire planet that they desperately have to guard.

In the middle of the night, everything is silent.

The system suddenly said: "After testing, Gu Xi's current body surface temperature is about 3.2 degrees higher than the average of normal people. It is initially determined that the high fever is caused by wound infection."

Wound infection?

Lin Xiaodong opened his eyes, and immediately remembered the way he was lying on the garbage heap when he saw a man for the first time during the day. The place stinks and there is sewage everywhere. Not to mention such a big wound on his body, it was just a scratch on his finger. Small mouths are estimated to be infected!

"Then what should I do?" He frowned. "There is no anti-inflammatory medicine here, let alone surgery on him. I don't know medical skills."

"It would be great if I could contact the headquarters," the system sighed. "With your points, although you can't buy an airplane cannon, it's definitely more than enough to buy some medical gauze or something."

Lin Xiaodong said with a blank face: "Don't talk about the impossible now, it's annoying."

He went to the lake to look around again. As expected, almost all the herbs he collected this afternoon were almost all. Under the guidance of the system, Lin Xiaodong traveled around the entire Jialan Lake, only to collect a measly five or six trees. , are also herbs to stop bleeding and remove blood stasis.

When he passed by, in the darkness, Gu Xi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his lips were pale and chapped, and he was completely in a semi-conscious state.

He scooped a handful of water over, but Gu Xi closed his lips tightly, unable to hear the call from the outside world, and did not open his mouth.

Lin Xiaodong had no choice but to take a sip by himself, passing it mouth to mouth.

The cool lake water moistened the dry mouth, and slid down the burning throat to the empty stomach.

In Gu Xi's chaotic mind, some memory fragments about survival in the wild flashed quickly.

There is a kind of plant growing on many planets, and the fruit they bear contains a lot of water. As long as the outer hard shell is broken, the juice in the pulp can be sucked out with the mouth. The man's consciousness was not yet awake, his Adam's apple rolled, and he subconsciously grabbed the soft water source, wanting to ask for more, but at this moment he heard a muffled humming in his ears.

In the darkness, the man's eyelids trembled slightly and slowly opened a slit.

What you see is not the juicy fruit you imagined.

--It was the little mermaid who was pressed down by himself, clutching his torn lips, with grievances and soft water in his eyes, and softly shrinking into a ball.

The author has something to say:

System: In ancient times, there was an old cucumber sprayed with green paint to be tender, and now there is Lin Xiaodong who is acting silly and sweet to deceive people.

Horizontal batch - shameless.
