*Reading comprehension: who ate who and whose vinegar
The Nine Gates Guards were independent from the Federation. The main force and auxiliary forces stayed to build the Beijing Tower after breaking through the imperial city, such as the second division of the first division and the ninth division of the seventh division who were the chief sentinel and chief guide at that time.There are also some left to guard the Changsha Pagoda where the nine powers originated, such as the fourth division and the fifth division.
Since the news from Changsha Tower cannot come in, then the high level of the Federation should also be in a state of no communication between the nine departments.Xie Yuchen asked Wu Xie to forge a request for support using the materials of the Fifth Division. The commander of the Fifth Division was missing and asked for assistance from the Ninth Division.
Xie Yuchen's Ninth Division is very special. When many guards recruit soldiers, they focus on recruiting sentries with well-developed five senses. They are usually the main force in combat. The guides who are closely related to them will be transferred to the relatively safe logistics department.Xie Yuchen, on the other hand, does the opposite. When selecting candidates, he will first choose a guide with strong spiritual power. A guide like Tongcheng will be matched with an equally powerful sentinel. Every year when applying for post transfer, many top sentinels who are troubled by emotion will take the initiative Apply for transfer to the Ninth Division.
Xie Yuchen smiled and said to the senior management of other formations, we are young people, we love each other, and I don't want to rob people with you, but there is really no way, I am soft-hearted, and I can't bear to break them up.
The other high-level executives laughed awkwardly, scolding the young but hard-hearted Xie Yuchen in their hearts.
Xie Yuchen divided the Ninth Division into several formations, and said that they would conduct a blanket search for Major General Wu Sansheng near the Changsha Tower, but in fact they were ambushing all the way to the sanctuary in the hinterland, waiting for dispatch. Xie Yuchen and Heixiazi would constantly change the convoy , meeting Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling at the edge of the desert hinterland.
Hei Xiazi wanted to put away his spiritual body before he set off on the road, Xie Yuchen was a little reluctant, went to Snoopy's room to touch his head, and even allowed him to lick the tip of his nose.
"Goodbye, I don't know if we can come back together." Xie Yuchen hugged him, "I knew I wouldn't be so obedient when I was a child, and let you take me away—"
Heixiazi and Xie Yuchen were sitting in the compartment of the logistics vehicle for combat. The space was quite spacious. Heixiazi seemed to be at ease, as if he was not at all nervous about meeting his guide.
Instead, Xie Yuchen was a little nervous.
Since he had a deep physical union with Hei Xiazi, his ability to perceive Hei Xiazi's emotions has increased a lot, but this kind of spiritual connection is too strong and has troubles. Although Hei Xiazi is as happy as a mental illness on weekdays, Xie Yuchen In his sleep, he naturally relaxed his mental strength, and some memories and emotions of the blind man would appear in his dream.
Xie Yuchen didn't want Hei Xiazi to feel that he was too unprofessional, let alone talk about those past events with him. He could feel that painful emotion, whether it was from the perspective of the boss or the perspective of the temporarily combined guide, he I don't want Hei Xiazi's emotions to be turbulent again because of these past events.
In order not to let him find that he was disturbed by his memory, Xie Yuchen always pulled the blanket over his face to fall asleep after the blind man fell asleep, but the fragments of memory became clearer with their frequent close contact. One night, Xie Yuchen He clearly felt the injury suffered by the blind man on the tower that day, and the pain was applied to Xie Yuchen's body through the spiritual connection, and he groaned in pain in his dream.
Xie Yuchen felt himself falling into a warm embrace that he hadn't felt in many years, like the spirit of a guide comforting a sentry, wrapping him softly.
He heard someone calling him Major General Xie, it was related to work, so he had to force himself to open his eyes.
"Major General Xie, it's time to change cars."
"Understood." The voice of the blind man.
When Xie Yuchen was about to say that I was awake, the black blind man carried the bags of the two of them on his back, wrapped Xie Yuchen with a blanket, hesitated for a moment, adjusted the position of the blanket, and wrapped his forehead covered in cold sweat, He hugged him horizontally and walked to the car that changed the route. He walked very steadily. After several days of bumpy journeys, Xie Yuchen rarely felt comfortable.
After changing the car, Xie Yuchen could only continue to pretend to be asleep, but the black blind man chuckled lightly: "Can you sleep?"
Xie Yuchen knew that it was useless to cover up in front of him, so he lifted the blanket off his face and sat up in embarrassment: "Do I always disturb you, that's okay, just bear with it, I can give you some hypnosis Hint, I have sleeping pills if you don't want to."
Heixiazi unscrewed the kettle, poured some water into Xie Yuchen's special cup and handed it to him: "I must have quarreled with you. These few days are mainly on the road, and there is no enemy. We can temporarily avoid close contact, so that the mental connection will be weak." Some."
"Don't take it lightly." Xie Yuchen took a sip of water and refused calmly.
"Major General Xie Yuchen is so smart, he must have guessed who I am." The black blind man looked at him and chuckled, looking a little weird in the moonlight through the window, and gradually overlapped with the ghost story from childhood.
"The last sentinel of the empire." Xie Yuchen looked at him and said a few words firmly.
"When scaring children, the last two words always seem too tragic to me. In fact, there is another version called the only sentinel of the empire, but it seems too lonely, and I don't like it very much. Then, in your bedtime story , how did you say about me—" The black blind man looked quite interested.
"The appearance of sentinels and guides represents a kind of natural intervention in human history. Every time there will be war years, and peace will gradually fall silent. Due to the depletion of resources and a series of natural disasters, the number of human beings has dropped sharply, and the era of the ancient era is over. , the remaining human beings formed the Empire of the Mutual Aid Alliance of Destiny. The empire has ruled for more than 400 years and has grown into the most powerful regime in history, but its internal structure has gradually deteriorated. The awakening was especially evident in the Nine Gates near the Changsha Pagoda. They formed the Nine Gates Guards, and together with the anti-imperial federations formed spontaneously in various places, they attacked the Empire from all over the place.” Xie Yuchen calmly narrated every child from history material read in textbooks.
The blind man still had the expression of listening to a joke, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Xie Yuchen peeked at his expression, and continued to talk: "The federation pushed all the way to the Beijing Tower. At that time, the leaders of the Nine Gates believed that there should be a peaceful handover with the imperial rulers. However, there were some different voices in the federation, who advocated a radical extermination of the emperor. Everyone in the city. On the night before the negotiation, a small group of people who wanted to establish their merits and voice united, thinking that there was no defensive force in the imperial city, and decided to sneak attack, but the last sentinel of the empire—he alone, Killed most of the elite. But the last sentinel of the empire also died under the first wall."
He remembered the details of that story. He pestered his little uncle to ask him where he was going, and the little uncle told him the story. The black wolf broke free from the wrist-thick shackles, and howling wailed throughout the entire imperial city. The last sentinel Standing on the city wall holding a gun and laughing, a bullet is a life. The wolf rushed into the battle and killed dozens of people, but they lost in the end. The dead souls are still wandering in the imperial city. Seeing disobedient children It will be taken back to the prison of the ancient imperial city.
The little Xie Yuchen asked, they are so good, how could they lose?The little uncle thought for a while and said that fate is hard to break.Xie Yuchen nodded, the little uncle is the smartest person in their family, he said that's it, that's it.
The little uncle said, Yuchen, in short, you have to be obedient.Then he left, and Xie Yuchen never saw him again.
But the memory of the black blind man he saw was not so fearless and tragic, but full of pain and helplessness.
The blind man looked at his hesitant expression, and said, "Since you have seen the fragments of my memory, I will not gain any sense of mystery if I continue to pretend. Come on, the ghost will tell you a ghost story."
"I was born in a declining aristocratic family. Because my father disobeyed the leader of the empire, he was gradually squeezed out, lost his position, and was full of resentment. He ruthlessly trained me to kill people since he was a child. I hope that one day I can kill for him. Lost the leader. When I was four years old, because my father was unwilling to pay for medical treatment, I always watched in silence as my mother who was beaten also passed away. When I was six years old, I waited until the leader came out to make inspections. I stood with other children In the crowd, the face was frozen with laughter. The leader finally came. He thought I was too nervous, so he hugged me and asked me why my expression was so strange. I said that my parents were dead. The leader announced in front of the people that he would Adopt me. After I went back, my father said angrily that I had betrayed him, he rushed over, I dodged, he hit the corner of the table and died.”
Heixiazi's tone was very relaxed, but Xie Yuchen was a little sad, trying to comfort him with mental power.
"I was taken to the imperial city and given to a very prominent family to be raised. I changed the surname of the empire to Qi. The leader said that he hoped that I could fight for the empire to the last moment like the glory of this surname."
"—Do you know why I am the only sentinel in the empire?" asked the blind man.Xie Yuchen shook his head.
The black blind man laughed with satisfaction: "Because I am indeed. The way nature interferes with the progress of human history is very simple, giving strength to the rising side and ignoring the declining side. Sentinels and guides are constantly growing near the Changsha Tower When I was in power, neither a sentinel nor a guide appeared in the entire empire. In my year, it was the first year of the new calendar, and I was divided into a sentinel. My eyes were particularly powerful, and I could see some moments in the future. I stood on the tower , Seeing that the people from the Federation were going to break through the city gate and rush in, I rushed into the ball where all the dignitaries were present, grabbed the microphone and told everyone present, they all said I was crazy, no one wanted to listen to me Speaking of frustration, I was imprisoned. Five days later, the Federation really besieged the imperial city, and the empire announced its surrender, but that scene appeared more and more frequently. I was in great pain and went crazy in prison. They laughed even harder. Because it feels like peace talks are coming.”
Heixiazi smiled to himself when he said this: "That's what happened later. I fought on the city wall, and soon lost because I couldn't resist the pressure brought by my spirit. In order to get rid of the fact of the sneak attack, the Federation instead wanted to Treat me with courtesy and let a medical guide heal me. That's when I realized that a sentinel needs to find a guide to pair with him so that he can live like a human being. I thought at that time that nature might have forgotten me. I was born in the imperial city alone, and I forgot to give me a guide."
Xie Yuchen also smiled: "I sometimes think so, nature may have forgotten my sentinel."
The black blind man was amused by him: "Later, I was sent to the Tower of Babel to cooperate with the experiment of man-made spiritual images. My whole body was frozen for many years. One day, someone from the Beijing Tower suddenly came to tell me that they found a match for me. I am a guide, I am very curious, what will this little guide who has been late for so many years—”
Xie Yuchen took his hand, and silently sorted out his mind for a while, then raised his head, his eyes were very bright: "Your guide is very good, you will definitely like him."
Xie Yuchen was secretly convinced in his heart that from this moment on, what he wanted was not just to make a deal, but he also wanted Heixiazi to live a better life.
"That doesn't matter anymore." The blind man took out a cigarette and shook his head, "You can feel it, it's not a good thing to be connected with me, I just want to see how he is doing now."
Just as he was about to light the fire, the car shook violently. Xie Yuchen pounced forward, and was caught in his arms by a black blind man. Xie Yuchen pressed a few buttons on the electronic screen to connect to the image of the driving recorder. A figure suddenly appeared in front of the car.
Xie Yuchen patted Heixiazi's hand, and mouthed something, don't be afraid, he is about to get out of the car to check, Heixiazi took his hand, and made a gesture to get out of the car with him, Xie Yuchen shook his head, saying don't worry.
The man took off his hat, and Xie Yuchen said in surprise, "Third Uncle."
Wu Sansheng's face showed a tiredness and oldness that Xie Yuchen had never seen before, and he quickly asked, "Have you found the black blind man?"
Xie Yuchen nodded, and then understood, beckoning to the black blind man, indicating that he can come over, and said to Wu Sansheng: "Wu Xie is looking for you."
Wu Sansheng said to Xie Yuchen: "I have my own affairs, and you will understand many things after going to the sanctuary."
He looked at the blind man again, and said to him, "Protect Wu Xie."
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to signal Xie Yuchen not to talk or to chase, and walked away quickly in another direction, and soon disappeared into the distant woods.
"Things are not right." Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi returned to the car, Xie Yuchen thoughtfully said, "Why did you specifically tell you to protect Wu Xie, Wu Xie has been excluded from the system. If Wu Xie is really you Why don't you just say it directly? Then you will protect him naturally. Uncle San probably doesn't know my judgment. If I didn't find you, he left you this sentence. You and Wu Xie have to guess what It’s time to go—one doesn’t care about it, and the other’s heart is with others.”
Facing the sudden accusation, the blind man could only smile helplessly.
"Third Uncle knows more about this game than we do. In short, you have to remember to protect Wu Xie." Xie Yuchen suddenly felt sad when he said this. One was his best friend since childhood, and the other was the secret weapon he brought home with his own hands. , The two of them are a match made in heaven, and my own words seem redundant, "Of course, I know you will do this."
"I will protect you too." The blind man said seriously.
They arrived at the edge of the hinterland during the daytime of the fourth day. Xie Yuchen let the other cars and people disperse. Only he and Heixiazi found a Populus euphratica forest according to the coordinates.
Wu Xie saw them from a distance, and said pleasantly, "Xiao Hua!"
Xie Yuchen also became inexplicably happy. They haven't seen each other for a long time. The joy of reunion made him look a little like a child: "Wu Xie."
They had a long hug, so long that the blind man saluted Zhang Qiling who was behind Wu Xie without distraction, and Zhang Qiling winked at the blind man who was behind Xie Yuchen.
Xie Yuchen and Wu Xie officially introduced the black blind man, saying that he was an expert Xie Jiuye asked him to invite. Wu Xie saw that he was smiling nervously, so he gave up his smile in embarrassment. Turning around, Zhang Qiling immediately turned indifferent. Turning his eyes away, Wu Xie clicked his tongue.Hearing the noise, another fat man came out of the tent. Wu Xie introduced them, saying that it was Fatty Wang, a friend he had met in previous studies.
Xie Yuchen and Wu Xie looked at each other, knowing that there was a lot of information that needed to be exchanged, the two went into the tent.
The two of them exchanged information respectively. Without Xie Yuchen's knowledge, Wu Xie got deeper and deeper because of one academic examination incident after another. Wu Xie said with a wry smile that the people in the Fifth Division had completely dispersed. These two friends He is the only one who can help him.
"Zhang Qiling is the Dark Sentinel, you know, do you think he is credible?"
Wu Xie smiled wryly: "I just found out a few days ago, he told me by the way when he rejected me."
Xie Yuchen: "What?"
Wu Xie sighed: "Things are very complicated. I've almost collapsed these days. I think I just need a guide to help me sort it out. You said that if one of us was really a sentinel and the other was a guide back then—— "
As soon as the words were finished, the blind man suddenly came in with a spatula and raised the curtain, startling the two of them. The blind man smiled and asked, "Let me help Mr. Zhang and ask if the pot is placed here."
Wu Xie said no, and the black blind man said oh, I'm sorry to bother you, and then slowly withdrew. Xie Yuchen stared back and forth between the two of them, and sighed deeply.
Xie Yuchen said: "I think you should think about this matter carefully. It's good to decide to find someone to settle down with, but you have to do more comparisons..."
Wu Xie smiled wryly: "You are shopping for vegetables, how do you compare, and who do you compare with?"
Xie Yuchen also realized that his hint was a bit impatient, pretended it was a joke, and blinked: "Compare with me, Brother Wu Xie."
As soon as the words were finished, Zhang Qiling lifted the curtain with one hand and walked in with the pot in hand. Xie Yuchen and Wu Xie looked at him blankly, and he explained concisely: "The blind man wants a spatula."
Wu Xie said no, and sent Zhang Qiling away.
"...Do you know they know each other so well?" Xie Yuchen suddenly asked cautiously.
"Damn, the pot matches the spatula, why do they have such a tacit understanding." Wu Xie scolded.
Xie Yuchen typed a line on the phone: Those two sentinels were eavesdropping on our speech.
Although there was no crisis of trust, Wu Xie was a little upset that the two of them discussed the accidental synchronization. He scolded: "Poker bottle is simply not human."
Xie Yuchen said: "The black blind man will fight with him."
The two people who were silently eavesdropping around the pot were scolded, and put away their sentinel abilities in a boring way.
"I feel that I don't have any special feelings towards Wu Xie." The blind man said to Zhang Qiling, "My intuition has always been accurate."
Zhang Qiling frowned deeply, then said coldly: "You should be like this."
The blind man was overjoyed: "Hey, why did you suddenly give me an emotional poem recitation, what's wrong, brother, someone got fucked?"
Zhang Qiling ignored him.
While Zhang Qiling was cooking, Xie Yuchen pulled Hei Xiazi aside: "You have a chance, Wu Xie seems to be interested in Zhang Qiling, I can't watch him jump into the fire pit, although you are just a brazier, you are better than him ..."
Xie Yuchen pursed his lips, hiding his slight sadness: "I will help you."
Heixiazi was not happy on the contrary: "So you are going to sacrifice the freedom of my brazier for your brother Wu Xie?"
Xie Yuchen was stunned and said, "No... I'm helping you. If you let me choose, I will definitely choose you."
The blind man reached out and tapped the tip of Xie Yuchen's nose, and said with a smile, "You still chose—"
Xie Yuchen was a little annoyed, and just about to scold him, when he saw Wu Xie approaching, he took three steps back automatically, and the blind man clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.
At night, Wu Xie told Xie Yuchen that the tent is big enough, just bring two more sleeping bags, too many will be eye-catching, the fat man snores, let him sleep alone, the rest of us—Wu Xie took a look Zhang Qiling, Zhang Qiling lowered his eyes and did not speak.
"Then he's mine." Xie Yuchen pointed at Zhang Qiling decisively.

The Nine Gates Guards were independent from the Federation. The main force and auxiliary forces stayed to build the Beijing Tower after breaking through the imperial city, such as the second division of the first division and the ninth division of the seventh division who were the chief sentinel and chief guide at that time.There are also some left to guard the Changsha Pagoda where the nine powers originated, such as the fourth division and the fifth division.

Hei Xiazi wanted to put away his spiritual body before he set off on the road, Xie Yuchen was a little reluctant, went to Snoopy's room to touch his head, and even allowed him to lick the tip of his nose.
"Goodbye, I don't know if we can come back together." Xie Yuchen hugged him, "I knew I wouldn't be so obedient when I was a child, and let you take me away—"
Heixiazi and Xie Yuchen were sitting in the compartment of the logistics vehicle for combat. The space was quite spacious. Heixiazi seemed to be at ease, as if he was not at all nervous about meeting his guide.
Instead, Xie Yuchen was a little nervous.
Since he had a deep physical union with Hei Xiazi, his ability to perceive Hei Xiazi's emotions has increased a lot, but this kind of spiritual connection is too strong and has troubles. Although Hei Xiazi is as happy as a mental illness on weekdays, Xie Yuchen In his sleep, he naturally relaxed his mental strength, and some memories and emotions of the blind man would appear in his dream.

Xie Yuchen felt himself falling into a warm embrace that he hadn't felt in many years, like the spirit of a guide comforting a sentry, wrapping him softly.
He heard someone calling him Major General Xie, it was related to work, so he had to force himself to open his eyes.
"Major General Xie, it's time to change cars."
"Understood." The voice of the blind man.
When Xie Yuchen was about to say that I was awake, the black blind man carried the bags of the two of them on his back, wrapped Xie Yuchen with a blanket, hesitated for a moment, adjusted the position of the blanket, and wrapped his forehead covered in cold sweat, He hugged him horizontally and walked to the car that changed the route. He walked very steadily. After several days of bumpy journeys, Xie Yuchen rarely felt comfortable.
After changing the car, Xie Yuchen could only continue to pretend to be asleep, but the black blind man chuckled lightly: "Can you sleep?"
Xie Yuchen knew that it was useless to cover up in front of him, so he lifted the blanket off his face and sat up in embarrassment: "Do I always disturb you, that's okay, just bear with it, I can give you some hypnosis Hint, I have sleeping pills if you don't want to."
Heixiazi unscrewed the kettle, poured some water into Xie Yuchen's special cup and handed it to him: "I must have quarreled with you. These few days are mainly on the road, and there is no enemy. We can temporarily avoid close contact, so that the mental connection will be weak." Some."
"Don't take it lightly." Xie Yuchen took a sip of water and refused calmly.
"Major General Xie Yuchen is so smart, he must have guessed who I am." The black blind man looked at him and chuckled, looking a little weird in the moonlight through the window, and gradually overlapped with the ghost story from childhood.
"The last sentinel of the empire." Xie Yuchen looked at him and said a few words firmly.
"When scaring children, the last two words always seem too tragic to me. In fact, there is another version called the only sentinel of the empire, but it seems too lonely, and I don't like it very much.

"The appearance of sentinels and guides represents a kind of natural intervention in human history. Every time there will be war years, and peace will gradually fall silent.

The little Xie Yuchen asked, they are so good, how could they lose?The little uncle thought for a while and said that fate is hard to break.Xie Yuchen nodded, the little uncle is the smartest person in their family, he said that's it, that's it.
The little uncle said, Yuchen, in short, you have to be obedient.Then he left, and Xie Yuchen never saw him again.
But the memory of the black blind man he saw was not so fearless and tragic, but full of pain and helplessness.
The blind man looked at his hesitant expression, and said, "Since you have seen the fragments of my memory, I will not gain any sense of mystery if I continue to pretend. Come on, the ghost will tell you a ghost story."
"I was born in a declining aristocratic family. Because my father disobeyed the leader of the empire, he was gradually squeezed out, lost his position, and was full of resentment.

Heixiazi's tone was very relaxed, but Xie Yuchen was a little sad, trying to comfort him with mental power.
"I was taken to the imperial city and given to a very prominent family to be raised. I changed the surname of the empire to Qi. The leader said that he hoped that I could fight for the empire to the last moment like the glory of this surname."
"—Do you know why I am the only sentinel in the empire?" asked the blind man.Xie Yuchen shook his head.

Wu Sansheng's face showed a tiredness and oldness that Xie Yuchen had never seen before, and he quickly asked, "Have you found the black blind man?"
Xie Yuchen nodded, and then understood, beckoning to the black blind man, indicating that he can come over, and said to Wu Sansheng: "Wu Xie is looking for you."
Wu Sansheng said to Xie Yuchen: "I have my own affairs, and you will understand many things after going to the sanctuary."
He looked at the blind man again, and said to him, "Protect Wu Xie."
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to signal Xie Yuchen not to talk or to chase, and walked away quickly in another direction, and soon disappeared into the distant woods.
"Things are not right." Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi returned to the car, Xie Yuchen thoughtfully said, "Why did you specifically tell you to protect Wu Xie, Wu Xie has been excluded from the system. If Wu Xie is really you Why don't you just say it directly? Then you will protect him naturally. Uncle San probably doesn't know my judgment. If I didn't find you, he left you this sentence. You and Wu Xie have to guess what It’s time to go—one doesn’t care about it, and the other’s heart is with others.”
Facing the sudden accusation, the blind man could only smile helplessly.
"Third Uncle knows more about this game than we do. In short, you have to remember to protect Wu Xie." Xie Yuchen suddenly felt sad when he said this. One was his best friend since childhood, and the other was the secret weapon he brought home with his own hands. , The two of them are a match made in heaven, and my own words seem redundant, "Of course, I know you will do this."
"I will protect you too." The blind man said seriously.
They arrived at the edge of the hinterland during the daytime of the fourth day. Xie Yuchen let the other cars and people disperse. Only he and Heixiazi found a Populus euphratica forest according to the coordinates.
Wu Xie saw them from a distance, and said pleasantly, "Xiao Hua!"
Xie Yuchen also became inexplicably happy. They haven't seen each other for a long time. The joy of reunion made him look a little like a child: "Wu Xie."
They had a long hug, so long that the blind man saluted Zhang Qiling who was behind Wu Xie without distraction, and Zhang Qiling winked at the blind man who was behind Xie Yuchen.
Xie Yuchen and Wu Xie officially introduced the black blind man, saying that he was an expert Xie Jiuye asked him to invite. Wu Xie saw that he was smiling nervously, so he gave up his smile in embarrassment. Turning around, Zhang Qiling immediately turned indifferent. Turning his eyes away, Wu Xie clicked his tongue.Hearing the noise, another fat man came out of the tent. Wu Xie introduced them, saying that it was Fatty Wang, a friend he had met in previous studies.
Xie Yuchen and Wu Xie looked at each other, knowing that there was a lot of information that needed to be exchanged, the two went into the tent.
The two of them exchanged information respectively. Without Xie Yuchen's knowledge, Wu Xie got deeper and deeper because of one academic examination incident after another. Wu Xie said with a wry smile that the people in the Fifth Division had completely dispersed. These two friends He is the only one who can help him.
"Zhang Qiling is the Dark Sentinel, you know, do you think he is credible?"
Wu Xie smiled wryly: "I just found out a few days ago, he told me by the way when he rejected me."
Xie Yuchen: "What?"
Wu Xie sighed: "Things are very complicated. I've almost collapsed these days. I think I just need a guide to help me sort it out. You said that if one of us was really a sentinel and the other was a guide back then—— "
As soon as the words were finished, the blind man suddenly came in with a spatula and raised the curtain, startling the two of them. The blind man smiled and asked, "Let me help Mr. Zhang and ask if the pot is placed here."
Wu Xie said no, and the black blind man said oh, I'm sorry to bother you, and then slowly withdrew. Xie Yuchen stared back and forth between the two of them, and sighed deeply.
Xie Yuchen said: "I think you should think about this matter carefully. It's good to decide to find someone to settle down with, but you have to do more comparisons..."
Wu Xie smiled wryly: "You are shopping for vegetables, how do you compare, and who do you compare with?"
Xie Yuchen also realized that his hint was a bit impatient, pretended it was a joke, and blinked: "Compare with me, Brother Wu Xie."
As soon as the words were finished, Zhang Qiling lifted the curtain with one hand and walked in with the pot in hand. Xie Yuchen and Wu Xie looked at him blankly, and he explained concisely: "The blind man wants a spatula."
Wu Xie said no, and sent Zhang Qiling away.
"...Do you know they know each other so well?" Xie Yuchen suddenly asked cautiously.
"Damn, the pot matches the spatula, why do they have such a tacit understanding." Wu Xie scolded.
Xie Yuchen typed a line on the phone: Those two sentinels were eavesdropping on our speech.
Although there was no crisis of trust, Wu Xie was a little upset that the two of them discussed the accidental synchronization. He scolded: "Poker bottle is simply not human."
Xie Yuchen said: "The black blind man will fight with him."
The two people who were silently eavesdropping around the pot were scolded, and put away their sentinel abilities in a boring way.
"I feel that I don't have any special feelings towards Wu Xie." The blind man said to Zhang Qiling, "My intuition has always been accurate."
Zhang Qiling frowned deeply, then said coldly: "You should be like this."
The blind man was overjoyed: "Hey, why did you suddenly give me an emotional poem recitation, what's wrong, brother, someone got fucked?"
Zhang Qiling ignored him.
While Zhang Qiling was cooking, Xie Yuchen pulled Hei Xiazi aside: "You have a chance, Wu Xie seems to be interested in Zhang Qiling, I can't watch him jump into the fire pit, although you are just a brazier, you are better than him ..."
Xie Yuchen pursed his lips, hiding his slight sadness: "I will help you."
Heixiazi was not happy on the contrary: "So you are going to sacrifice the freedom of my brazier for your brother Wu Xie?"
Xie Yuchen was stunned and said, "No... I'm helping you. If you let me choose, I will definitely choose you."
The blind man reached out and tapped the tip of Xie Yuchen's nose, and said with a smile, "You still chose—"
Xie Yuchen was a little annoyed, and just about to scold him, when he saw Wu Xie approaching, he took three steps back automatically, and the blind man clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.
At night, Wu Xie told Xie Yuchen that the tent is big enough, just bring two more sleeping bags, too many will be eye-catching, the fat man snores, let him sleep alone, the rest of us—Wu Xie took a look Zhang Qiling, Zhang Qiling lowered his eyes and did not speak.
"Then he's mine." Xie Yuchen pointed at Zhang Qiling decisively.
