Chapter 500: Mist. Uncle Geng's Proposal
Gu Ye saw the rendezvous signal sent by Chu An, which was a little inconsistent with his three-day rest. After thinking it over, he prepared a compromise: set off tomorrow, and then... use the iron cage and tie it to the roof of the car.
At this time, he and Wang Guan were cutting wood to make a fixed bracket. While they were working, they talked about tomorrow's route. They didn't hide anything from anyone. Sooner or later, everyone would know it, so there was no point in hiding it. Da Liu and Uncle Geng heard their conversation and came out of the cave.
Liu asked, "Where are we going?"
Gu Ye looked up and said, "Follow the branch back to the main river and meet up with Xiao An first. She may have found Mou Ban."
Liu Da was immediately delighted. "Really? Then let's set off soon. We'll use a stretcher anyway, so don't wait until tomorrow."
"Then let's finish lunch." Gu Ye called Laonian out and asked him to do more at noon, in case a fire broke out on the road, so it was better to be prepared.
Uncle Geng stood behind them with his hands behind his back, watching them and giving them some pointers from time to time. When he heard them say they would set off in the afternoon, he suddenly said, "It's about 70 kilometers from the branch to the main river. I looked at the location of the flare, which is in the southeast direction. They should have walked 80 kilometers. If we go back along the branch, it's equivalent to walking at a right angle, which is 150 kilometers."
Gu Ye had already thought about it. With so many people in the car, it would definitely not be able to drive fast. It would be good if they could travel 40 kilometers a day, which would take four days. But there was no other way. Could they get through the woods?
Um?
It seemed that it was possible. He turned around and looked at Uncle Geng. The old man's smile was really asking for a beating.
"I particularly like your doomsday survival rules. All materials and resources must be exchanged at equal value. Trying to gain a small advantage will lead to a big loss. Don't owe favors to others, as you may not be able to repay them."
Gu Ye stood up. This old sly guy had been active in the forest for two years, so he should have known all the situations nearby. "What do you want?"
Uncle Geng gestured with the number eight.
Da Liu immediately pulled Gu Ye, he didn't like this man.
Gu Ye turned around and nodded to Da Liu, indicating that he had an idea. He then turned to Uncle Geng and said, "Okay, but I have a prerequisite. First, you must see Xiao An first, and second, I will give you the bullets when you leave us."
Uncle Geng nodded, "Okay."
Gu Ye, "Okay, then before lunch, I want you to draw a route map."
He went back to the truck and took out paper and pen. Uncle Geng took them and promised to complete the task.
Gu Ye wanted to go back and continue making stretchers, but when he saw that Da Liu had taken over his position, he went to find Laonian and asked him who he wanted to catch by keeping Brother Qiang alive.
Lao Nian was busy preparing meals for more than ten people by himself, but he was calm and organized.
He saw Gu Ye coming over, wiped his hands, and looked at him seriously.
Gu Ye glanced at the meat sauce in the pot and asked, "Don't you welcome my help?"
Lao Nian picked up a long-handled spoon and scooped up the meat sauce. "Can you cook?"
"Of course."
"I thought you were some landlord's stupid son!"
Well?
"I used to be like that, but then my dad pushed my mom down the stairs and I lost my home." Gu Ye was able to talk about this incident very calmly, "At first I didn't even know how to take revenge."
The murderer of my mother is my biological father. How ridiculous!
Lao Nian stopped talking, still a little surprised. He paused for a while and said, "Hey, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to know. As you said, now there is no police station and court, I may have to use other methods to solve this matter, and I don't want you to be involved."
Gu Ye thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. The first rule of the Doomsday Code is: Don’t meddle in other people’s business.
"Are you going to catch the masked fox?" Gu Ye ignored the first rule of the Doomsday Code, because the last rule of the Doomsday Code said that to abide by the Doomsday Code is to survive, but to live also means to live like a human being. If necessary, you can do everything according to your heart without regrets.
Lao Nian opened his eyes wide and looked at Gu Ye with disbelief. The next second, the long-handled spoon in his hand was placed on his shoulder, and the meat sauce that was brought out dripped onto the ground.
Gu Ye did not hide. He did not see that the other party had any intention to kill him, and a long-handled spoon could not kill him.
"Who are you?" Lao Nian asked in a trembling voice.
"I'm Gu Ye, Xiao An's classmate...that's all." Gu Ye didn't want to reveal Shen Xun, after all, Lao Nian was unwilling to reveal his identity.
"Then how do you know about the Masked Fox?"
"I'm just guessing. How should I put it? Xiao An and I met a hunchback before. He was a gangster, but he was also an informant for the police. We read his diary, and he mentioned people like Masked Fox, Goldman Sachs, and Gao Qiang. The Qiang brother you locked up also has the word Qiang in his name, so I naturally made the connection."
"So that's how it is." Lao Nian put down the spoon and asked excitedly, "Where is that hunchback now?"
"In a town near Lianshi, not far from Shierlipu." Gu Ye said.
"Is he...okay?" Laonian asked tentatively.
"His mind is a little... unclear, but he still has the necessary alertness and skills," Gu Ye recalled.
Lao Nian suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I will go find him when everything is settled. I will go find him."
