Li Yu pushed the door and rushed in, and at a glance he saw the white-bearded old man facing the gate, lying on his back on a chair with his eyes closed.

One of the old man's hands hangs weakly outside, and the other is holding a cattail fan, resting on his leg, his head is still tilted, and no undulating arc can be seen from his chest, which is really scary.

Li Yu thumped in his heart, his heart beat faster, it was panic.

Swallowing, he bent over stiffly, and lightly touched the back of the old man's hand that was like old bark.

It's cold.

Li Yu was startled, took a step back, and then thought that besides death, there is another possibility, maybe this person is the same as those people in the office building, not a living person, but a soul.

He raised his voice, "Grandpa."

After the words fell, he finally saw the other person's chest rise and fall very slightly.

Li Yuxuan's heart sank, he patted the old man's shoulder lightly, and shouted twice in succession, the people on the recliner moved.

The old man frowned, opened his eyes slowly, and took a long breath.

He looked like a seriously ill patient, his face was pale, his lips were dry, and there were heavy blue shadows under his eyes. Every time he took a breath, he needed to use all his strength.

This situation is really very sick.

Li Yu suddenly remembered the Jiuxin Pill in the toolbox, it shouldn't be such a coincidence.

He thought for a moment, then squatted down, "We are going to the small town of stilted houses in the valley, passing by here, wanting to ask for a glass of water."

The old man is getting old, his brain is not very bright, and it took a long time to react.

"Col? Which col?"

His voice was vicissitudes, with some kind of rough murmur, like phlegm stuck in his throat.

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and asked the system to call up the simulated terrain map, because there was no north-south direction, so it was impossible to accurately judge the location of the town.

"1551, just help me choose a location."

1551 casually said, "Northwest."

Li Yu told the old man as he said.

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and it took a full minute to realize, "Northwest, Northwest..."

He talked over and over like a repeater for a while, he closed his mouth, and frowned in confusion, "There is something in the northwest, what is it, I am old and confused, I can't remember it for a while, let me think about it again .”

There is a play.

Li Yu looked back at Shi Yu in surprise.

The man looked calm and stood casually, but his eyes were so dark that they were a bit scary.

Li Yu reached out and touched the back of the man's hand, asking with his eyes.

Shi Yu shook his head slightly, and with a movement of his fingers, he grabbed the young man's finger, held it tightly, and rubbed the back of his hand under the belly of his thumb with some nostalgia.

"Ah, I remembered, I remembered!"

The old man suddenly got up from the reclining chair, walked into the house with staggering steps, and muttered as he walked, "Here he is."

Li Yu pulled Shi Yu to follow and entered the house.

There were red paper and bamboo strips everywhere in the room, and on a long table, there was still a large wolf pen, and the inkstone next to it had dried up.

"I have to find something to see if it's him. I can't be fooled." The old man said to himself, rummaging through his hands non-stop.

Finally, he pulled out a mirror from a pile of red paper.

The mirror is only the size of a palm, made of brass, and the front is a smooth single-sided glass.

The old man turned the mirror to face Li Yu, and stretched his neck carefully.

The person in the mirror has not changed, it is still the same face, a smile appeared on the old man's frightened face.

Li Yu's scalp was numb from that smile, and just about to speak, the curvature of the old man's mouth became wider, and a laugh full of excitement and joy came out of his throat.

The laughter became louder and louder, and even a few subordinates outside the yard could hear the great joy in it.

It's not a good thing to have too many emotional ups and downs when you're old, Li Yu held the old man's arm and helped him divert his attention, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

"Well, yes, I have something to tell you." After finishing speaking, the old man pressed his chest, opened his mouth, and let out a "ho ho" panting.

His face was flushed red, the veins on his neck and forehead were swollen, and the ten fingers pressing on his chest changed from pressing to grasping, and his joints turned white because of too much force.

Before Li Yu could react, the old man rolled his eyes, lay down on the ground, and his body continued to twitch.

1551, "Acute myocardial infarction caused by high blood pressure caused by too much excitement. There are no first aid supplies at the scene, and there are no medical institutions nearby, but you have a bottle of medicine in your kit."

This bottle of medicine, Li Yu, was intended to be kept for the first time, and only after making sure that the broken mirror would not affect Shi Yu would it be eaten.

Now, this bottle of medicine has a new use.

1551 said, "He should be repeating the past death, you can choose not to save, and see what happens next."

"What if it's not?" Li Yu asked back.

He turned to look at Shi Yu, without asking, "Will he still wake up?"

Shi Yu gave an affirmative answer, "Yes."

Li Yu felt a little relieved, and took the man's hand to step back, giving the old man room to move.

After about ten minutes, the person lying on the ground moved. He first opened his eyes, opened his mouth wide and took a few quick breaths, then turned around and supported the ground, trying to get up.

Shi Yu stepped forward, picked up the old man with one hand, and helped him stand firmly.

The old man had completely forgotten what happened before, he got rid of the man's support, returned to the reclining chair, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

As before, Li Yu woke up the person first, saying that he was passing by.

The old man started rambling again, and searched for the place where he had looked for the mirror before.

Li Yu looked at the mirror at his feet, and wanted to bend down to pick it up, but was stopped by the man who grabbed his arm.

Shi Yu, "He doesn't remember anyone else in this room. If you touch him rashly, you may be attacked."

Li Yu was pulled back two steps by the man, and the next second, the old man bent over and picked up the small mirror from the ground.

The person in the mirror has no ferocious faces, but is fair and peaceful, with clear and bright black and white eyes.

The old man laughed loudly, "It hasn't changed, you are that person, by the way, come with me, I have something to tell you."

After speaking, he continued to laugh.

Li Yu noticed that the old man's eye sockets were slightly red and moist, but immediately after that, those eyes widened suddenly, bloodshot eyes were exposed, and the whites of the eyes were aggressively encroached.

His wrinkled face began to flush, and his chest heaved violently due to difficulty breathing...

The old man died of myocardial infarction again due to excessive excitement.

Every soul will only die once a day. After closing the eyes this time, the person never wakes up again.

Shi Yu lowered his eyes and said softly, "He won't wake up until the sun rises tomorrow morning."

Li Yu, "..."

The old man's mind is already blurred, and when he wakes up, he will forget the existence of the other two people in the yard again, and his blood pressure will rise again due to excitement, and he will continue to die repeatedly.

No one can tell when this terrible cycle will end.

Li Yu squeezed the medicine bottle in his trouser pocket and shook it, "1551, there is only one medicine in the bottle?"

1551, "Yes."

So this medicine can only save one person.

One is the old man and the other is himself.

If you feed the old man, you can get new clues. Correspondingly, he will not be able to return to the stone house, open the box and destroy the damn mirror. From now on, the only way left is to find the exit.

I tossed and turned in my heart, and the time in reality was only three to five seconds.

Li Yu gritted his teeth, pulled his hand out of his trouser pocket, quickly pulled out the stopper, squatted down and pinched the old man's mouth, and poured the only medicine into it.

Time seems to stand still, and space no longer flows.

Li Yu held his breath nervously, observing the old man's reaction without blinking his eyes.

The people on the ground frowned slightly, and their eyelashes trembled.

The old man opened his eyes and breathed freely, not as difficult as before. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Li Yu always felt that the old man's body movements seemed to be more agile.

He lowered his head to pat the dust off his body, and picked up the mirror.

"Come with me." The old man stopped and looked back at Shi Yu, "Mr. Shi, please stay outside for a while."

Shi Yu stopped, saw the door being carefully closed by the old man, and heard the latch being inserted inside.

The inside of the room is much neater than the outside, with only simple tables, chairs, benches, teacups and kettles, and an old-fashioned wooden bed.

The old man moved out the stool stuffed under the table, motioned the young man to sit down, and he was so energetic that he looked like a different person from before.

Li Yu, "Miraculous medicine."

1551, "All the products produced by the bureau are high-quality goods."

Li Yu, "Do you have a recipe there?"

1551, "It's kept secret in the bureau, only the R&D personnel know it. But..."

"But what?" Li Yu's appetite was lifted.

"It's nothing."

"..." Li Yu, "Half of what I said is not authentic."

The system kept silent and pretended to be dead.

The old man is brewing, and he is making tea in an orderly manner.

Pushing the brewed cup in front of the young man, he finally said, "It must be guiding you to find this place."

Li Yu tacitly guessed what "it" referred to in the old man's mouth, nodded and said, "Yes, I always dream that I am on my way, the red lantern at your door, the third alley, the yellow dirt road, and ..."

Thinking of the town that was burned to ashes, he felt sad, "There is still a small town in the valley."

The old man closed his eyes, took a sip from his teacup, "Do you know the truth of this world?"

The mirror is a huge sky screen, watching everything below, Li Yu didn't expect that the old man would say it so loudly.

Seemingly seeing what the young man was thinking, the old man said, "This area is not under his surveillance."

The teacup was put down with a crisp sound.

The old man spoke slowly, "The mirror has two sides. One side creates the city, and the other side divides it into three parts."

Li Yu grabbed his knee and asked, "The other side is the exit?"

"That's right." The old man sighed and raised his drooping eyelids, "The other side disintegrates on its own, one falls on the mountain depression, and the other falls on the South Garden, it protects these two places from being watched by another mirror, and we are still subject to The torment of death can serve as a guide, showing you the direction."

Li Yu heard the words, "So where is the third part?"

The old man shook his head, "The mirrors at the entrance and the exit are opposed to each other. In order to prevent people entering the city from leaving, the entrance has been attacking the exit, trying to swallow it and fuse it. I only know that it is hidden in the mountains, and I don't know anything else. "

Holding the old teacup, Li Yu frowned, and whispered, "I probably know the direction."

In the last dream, he was walking up the mountain and saw two forked roads.

The old man moved the stool and stood up, walking towards the wooden bed.

There are three drawers under the wooden bed that can be opened. Li Yu saw that he opened the middle one and took out a piece of paper from it.

On paper is a mirror drawn with a brush.

The mirror is surrounded by dragon patterns, the back is surrounded by nine dragons, and there is a circle in the center. The shape is simple and exquisite, revealing a bit of mystery.

The old man returned to the bed and opened the drawer on the right. From Li Yu's perspective, he should have picked up something, opened it, and touched it carefully.

After a while, he got up and put the thing wrapped in yellow cloth into the young man's hand.

Li Yu weighed it down, his hands a little heavy, he opened it and found a bronze mirror inside.

To be precise, it is part of the bronze mirror.

The old man smiled kindly and relieved, "The second part is in the hands of the mayor, and you have to find the last part by yourself."

"I understand." Li Yu rewrapped the bronze mirror and left the room with the old man.

Seeing the man guarding the door, the old man bowed slightly, "Mr. Shi."

Shi Yu nodded and looked at the young man who was behind.

Li Yu gave him a look, said another word to the old man, and was about to leave.

Before going out, the old man grabbed his arm and said in a low voice, "You have to be careful, a dog will jump over the wall and bite people when it is in a hurry."

Everyone knows the maliciousness of the mirror, and it is impossible to guard against it.

The road ahead may not be easy.

A group of people bid farewell to the old man and continued on their way, because the alley was too narrow to drive in. Shi Yu's people were divided into two, some followed the owner and went on foot, while the other drove by car, trying to avoid Nanyuan, thinking See if you can find the yellow dirt road that the youth talked about.

The buildings in Nanyuan are dense, and the distance between houses is narrow, and each road can only allow one person to pass through.

Li Yu walked in the front, Shi Yu followed, followed by a few tails in black.

A group of people walked along the alley, finally counted to the third alley, and turned in.

This alley is very long, and it takes an hour to walk through it.

Li Yu stood on the yellow soil, turned around and looked behind him, the white walls and black tiles were exactly the same as in the dream.

And the dirt road on the right was quiet, without the sound of any car's engine, and Shi Yu's people hadn't come yet.

I don't know if I need to go around a long way, or I haven't found the road entrance at all.

Li Yu walked up to Shi Yu, "Can I get in touch?"

As soon as the words were finished, there was a rustling sound on the nearby tree, and two fat pigeons, one gray and one black, flew over and landed on their shoulders with a cooing sound.

Shi Yu's lips touched Dahei's little head, and he said something. Dahei spread his wings and flew up, leading Fat Hui who was getting close to his master to fly away to perform a new task.

"They have been following behind?" Li Yu asked, the two little guys followed all the way so silently.

"En." Shi Yuchong hooked his fingers to the young man, and when someone approached, he took out a rope from his trouser pocket, and put one end of it around the young man's wrist.

Li Yu turned his wrist and took a closer look. The material was unusual, like a mixed braid of gold wire and other metal wires, which was quite special.

He raised his hand, "What?"

Shi Yu didn't change his face, "It's just an ordinary rope, in case you get lost."

This is much more awesome than ordinary ropes, even the system admires the fabrication in his mind, as long as it is not chopped with an axe, this thing will not break after wearing it for another ten years.

Li Yu didn't take it off, and offered to help the man put on the other end, "It's secure, don't take it off."

Shi Yu's expression was indifferent, and he put his hand in his pocket, "Oh."

The rope was long enough, and Li Yu dragged the man to a tree. He didn't pay much attention, and sat down cross-legged.

Shi Yu walked up to the young man, raised his trouser legs, and was about to bend over when he suddenly remembered something, walked around to the other side of the tree, and sat down cross-legged as well.

The subordinates were so shocked that their jaws would drop. You know, the master always loves cleaning. Let alone sitting on the floor, even sitting on a stool, the people below would wipe it clean for him in advance.

The four of them gave each other a look, and wisely didn't bother them, and found a seat not far away to sit down and rest up.

Li Yu stretched his neck and looked back. The man leaned his head on the tree trunk and raised his arms, not knowing what he was doing.

He yawned and asked the system, "What is the target doing?"

1551 is too embarrassed to say, it's too sour, so they just released the live broadcast.

Shi Yu closed his eyes, stroking the rope on his wrist back and forth with his fingers, the corners of his mouth were raised, the sunlight just fell through the gap between the leaves, and one of them just landed on the man's face.

Li Yu pursed his lips, a little disgusted with his voyeurism, but couldn't control his eyes.

Shi Yu touched it for a while, then lowered his head to kiss the rope on his wrist.

Afraid of being seen after kissing, he lowered his hands, straightened his body and looked at the young man behind him.

The person is asleep with eyes closed, breathing evenly.

Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his lips that had been depressed because of his pretended seriousness rose again. He stood up from the ground, took two steps, and tapped the young man's hair with his fingertips.

Li Yu pretended to be like that, opened his sleepy eyes, "What?"

Shi Yu pointed in the direction, "Here we come."

The location of the yellow dirt road is hidden. It doesn't surround Nanyuan Township, but comes in from the distant mountains, and a section of it is hidden in the grass as high as half a person.

If some of them hadn't come down to find out the route by themselves, and crossed the grass on foot, they would probably have returned to the town square by now and gave up the car.

With a car, traveling is much easier.

At the beginning, Li Yu walked for a day and a night in his dream, and it only took less than two hours to drive.

In Diaojiaolou town, the townspeople come and go, everyone has a smile on their face, but the moment they touch a stranger, they all seem to say it, their faces are collectively downcast, their eyes are full of vigilance and vigilance.

Li Yu was familiar with the town, so he walked in first. As he expected, he saw a big dog, and then a bearded man approached him.

The bearded man stopped in front of the outsider, looked at him probingly, "Who are you looking for?"

It seemed that these people didn't know him at all outside of the dream, and that dream was probably created by another mirror.

Li Yu, "Mayor."

The bearded man was wary and refused to let go, "The mayor is inconvenient to receive guests."

After thinking twice, Li Yu said two words, "Exit."
