pure white believer

Three hours later, the rain finally stopped.

Nanting's plan was disrupted again.

He originally wanted to leave here as soon as possible, and hide as far away as possible.But right now someone in the team is injured, and they will definitely not move forward in a short time.

Hongmao and Fu Cheng moved the unconscious Xu Rui out of the cellar.

Fortunately, the season has come to the beginning of winter, and everyone is not wearing light clothes, as long as they avoid the puddles on the ground, they will not be splashed by corrosive rainwater.The parking place was too far away, and they only walked a few steps, Xu Rui moaned in pain as he was being carried.

"No, boss, his flesh is about to fall off!" Hongmao looked like he was about to cry, "We can't carry him far away!"

The two had no choice but to find the nearest residential house, put Xu Rui under the eaves without rain, and then knocked on the door.

No one answered.This was originally a remote part of the village, and there were no neighbors nearby.Hongmao couldn't wait any longer, so he just jumped in through the window, and opened the door after a while: "No one lives here, and the dust has accumulated a layer."

Fu Cheng said, "The medicine is in the car, I'll get it."

When Xiao Wan and Hong Mao hurriedly moved Xu Rui in, Nan Ting was still standing at the entrance of the cellar in a daze.

The corrosiveness of the water of Eurynomus is terrifying. Although it seems that the water mixed with the rain has been diluted, it still caused irreversible damage to this land—in an instant, the surrounding All the plants were completely withered, the evergreen plants on the ground showed a dull dark yellow color, and even the trees that had lost all their leaves fell to the ground with dead branches.

He was dazed for a while before he heard screams coming from nearby, but it was a little far away, and it seemed to be other residents in the village.

Everyone exposed to this rain will become...

Nan Ting's heart tightened, he shook his head, and did not continue to think about it.

He raised his head and glanced at the residential house not far away. Hong Mao and Xiao Wan were supposed to take care of the festering Xu Rui inside, so they couldn't pay attention to him.

Then turn around and leave.

"You stop for me!"

Someone shouted behind his back.

"Where are you going?" Fu Cheng strode over and said sternly, "Hasn't anyone taught you not to run around? Where will you hide when it rains again?!"

Nan Ting was stunned by his scolding.

After a long time, he said, "I'm leaving. I can't stay here."

"You can't stay here?" Fu Cheng said coldly, "Yesterday you were so stubborn that you didn't want to leave, but now you can't stay here? You want to die like that?"

Nan Ting: "...Why are you worried about my safety?"

Fu Cheng almost laughed angrily at him: "I'm worried about you? Who saved your life by worrying about your unsafe going out and stopping you from going out? Xu Rui saved your life, and he himself is dying now Yes!—do you take him seriously?!"

Nan Ting opened his mouth.He wanted to say that even if he really walked out, nothing would happen, but Xu Rui shouldn't have stopped him.

In the past, he would explain it to the other party in such a serious manner.But now he couldn't say such words.

Reason tells him that it is time for you to leave now, to go to a farther, safer place.But his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move no matter what.

After a while, Nan Ting lowered his eyes and walked silently to the door of the residence.

He first took a look at Xu Rui's injury.

Xu Rui was placed in a bedroom on the first floor, and has passed out again.Nan Ting tentatively poked the few skins on his face, but he didn't wake up.

So Nan Ting moved a stool, supported his chin, and sat down beside the bed.

In fact, Xu Rui should be an ordinary person, C or D, who may be almost 40 years old this year, not a strong young man with outstanding abilities.

——Why does he have to go out?

Fu Cheng brought the medicine box from the car.They gave Xu Rui the first medicine in the afternoon, and the second time in the evening.But the next morning, instead of getting better, Xu Rui's injury became more serious, and a section of white phalanx was exposed on the little finger of his left hand.

Hongmao couldn't sit still: "Boss..."

"Let's go," he said. "Shall we take him to the hospital? Find someone to look at! It's no use procrastinating like this!"

Fu Cheng didn't speak.He sat on the old sofa and looked at the room where Xu Rui was, motionless.

"I know what you're worried about, yes, our identities are all wanted!" Hongmao gritted his teeth, "But I can't just watch him die like this! Don't they just want us to go to the hospital? ? Isn’t that what those people are throwing this at? Isn’t it just to get us out and let us throw ourselves into the trap!!”

Nan Ting was staying in Xu Rui's room when they were arguing in the living room.Xiao Wan was also there, and did not participate in the conversation between the two people outside.The two were relatively speechless and sat silently for a while.

After a while, Nan Ting said, "He is a good man."

Xiao Wan was stunned for a while before realizing that he was talking to himself.He smiled weakly: "Why not?"

"Hmm..." Nan Ting hesitated, "Why did you save me?"

"It's not that we want to save you, it's Brother Xu who insists on saving you." Xiao Wan shook his head, "Actually, you can see that neither we nor the boss are willing to bring you such a burden."

"..."

"But brother Xu can't see such a thing, you know." Xiao Wan is actually just in his early years, shaking his head and sighing like a middle-aged man in his 40s, "He used to have a younger brother who was about your age and died. .”

Nan Ting was taken aback: "Why..."

"I don't know how he died." Xiao Wan said, "Anyway, he doesn't want to see a child as old as you wandering around outside, taking his own life away."

Nan Ting didn't know what to say.He whispered, "I'm sorry."

"Ok?"

Nan Ting was silent for a while.For a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "I will protect you from now on."

Xiao Wan: "..."

He seemed to react for a while, and burst out laughing.

"Really." Nan Ting was a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to express it properly.

"It would be great if you don't cause trouble for us!" Xiao Wan laughed helplessly, "You still protect us."

"If you really want to protect us, you might as well find a way to cure Brother Xu."

Xiao Wan just said it in passing.He tried to engrave the "cure" into his mind as a hope, so that despair would not come so quickly.

But Nan Ting knew that was useless.The water of Eurynymus, once applied, can never be removed, it simply rots a person slowly, slowly, and thoroughly.

He didn't say it.

After all, he only knew how to kill, and he was proficient at it.He can't save anyone like this.

Xu Rui lay on the bed like a dead body for two days.In the afternoon of the third day, he finally opened his eyes.

At this time, it was already raining outside again, and no one dared to go out.Seeing that he was awake, Hongmao and Xiaowan immediately surrounded him yelling:

"Brother Xu is awake!"

"How's it going, Brother Xu, does it hurt, does it hurt?"

Xu Rui moved his mouth with difficulty, and squeezed out a few words: "That's it."

Hongmao chuckled, the corners of his mouth twisted more ugly than crying: "You're trying to outplay your mother."

After Xu Rui woke up, she began to firmly oppose them sending herself to the hospital.

"You don't fucking care about me." He said, "What's the big deal, just apply some medicine and it will heal in a few days. Or send me to the hospital and let those bastard grandchildren lock me up, and you will be happy gone?"

He had the same idea as Hongmao: "Those beasts just put poison in the rain! How many people who have nothing to do with the rebels have to be exposed to the rain, can they still kill everyone? I said they were just trying to trick us into going to the hospital so they could catch us one by one - it was a good idea."

Xu Rui said angrily, the skin on his face was completely blackened and cracked, and the contours of his facial features could hardly be seen.

Nan Ting stood in the corner of the room and looked at the dying human.

He didn't even know if the man was joking.

It is still clear that his time is numbered.

Xu Rui refused to go to the hospital, and others couldn't force him to go, but at the same time, naturally they couldn't leave the village for half a step.

So Nan Ting also stayed here for three full days.Sometimes he would help Xu Rui apply medicine, and sometimes he would ask some questions.Even though he knew, none of these things would prolong the man's life.They are meaningless, not only to Xu Rui, but also to himself who should have embarked on the road of escape.

But Nan Ting tried to convince himself that maybe this would slow him down?

During the three days, probably because of the remote location, Nan Ting did not meet any other villagers.But on the night of the third day, when everyone was busy with their own affairs without saying a word like the previous two days, there was another movement outside the house.

—Someone knocked on the door of the house.

Xiao Wan in the living room almost thought he had heard wrong.

"Who is it?" he called out.

There was another silence outside the house, only the sound of pattering rain came.The new rain has been falling for three days and three nights.Although it is only the normal rainy season, the residents here have already had a psychological shadow on the rain, and they will never knock on the door in the middle of the rainy night.

Xiao Wan stood at the door hesitantly.There was no peephole on the door, so he could only peek out through the crack of the window, and vaguely caught a glimpse of a tall figure.

"Who?"

He muttered, reaching for the doorknob.

Nan Ting, who had shut himself up on the second floor, heard the movement and rushed down from upstairs.

Someone knocking on the door?

A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately said nervously: "Don't just open—"

However, it was too late.Xiao Wan opened the door straight open the door like a string missing in his brain: "Who is it... huh?"

At the door stood a man half a head taller than him, holding a big black umbrella in his hand, covering most of his face.In the depths of winter, this man was only wearing a thin shirt, and most of his body was soaked in the rain. The translucent clothes stuck to his body, outlining the outline of a little muscle.

"Hello." The man bowed his head slightly, "It's raining too much outside, can you let me stay here for one night?"

When he lowered his head, Xiao Wan could see his face clearly: a young and handsome man, with short pale golden hair sticking to the back of his head in a mess, a layer of water mist on the thin glasses, and the short hair on the forehead even dripping water.

A look of distress.

Or in other words, it should be embarrassing, after all, Xiao Wan has already hesitated to back off and intend to let him in.But in the next second, he suddenly found that the man was looking past him and looking into the room behind him.

After a pause, as if he had caught something, the eyes hidden behind the blurred lenses suddenly changed.

Xiao Wan secretly felt something was wrong, and immediately grabbed the doorknob: "You..."

Before he finished speaking, he was pushed aside: "Get out of the way."

"We don't welcome..." Fu Cheng strode to the door, pulled Xiao Wan behind his back, and looked outside.He opened his mouth, but didn't have time to finish the rest of his words.

The man put away the umbrella outside the door, and the rain fell and completely drenched him, but he just lowered his eyes slightly, and looked at Fu Cheng, showing a smile that was not a smile.

Fu Cheng's face turned pale: "Why...!"

He couldn't finish his sentence again, because someone pushed him away from behind.

Then he watched helplessly as Nan Ting, who had been hiding far away just now, rushed into the rain curtain and hugged the drenched man.

Fu Cheng: "..."

"Mr. Consultant!" Nan Ting let go of his hand and smiled for the first time in three days. He raised his head in great surprise, "Why are you? Are you here to find me? How do you know I'm here?"

The advisor moved his lips.After a long time, he said, "Can't it be a coincidence?"

"Definitely not." Nan Ting said firmly, "I know you can...um..."

He stopped talking in some confusion.Because he suddenly found that the consultant hadn't smiled just now.

"What... what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." The consultant smiled again, as if the indifference covering his face just now was just an illusion of the other party, he turned his head and glanced behind him, "It's so cold outside, why don't you invite me in for a sit down? "

Only then did Nan Ting realize that he was pulling the other party to blow the cold wind in the heavy rain, so he quickly stepped back and let the consultant in.

Fu Cheng next to him stared at him closely, tried to speak several times but failed to make a sound, his eyes were icy on the two of them, and he was almost ready to kill.

"Who is this..." Hongmao asked in a low voice from behind.

"How do you know I'm here?" Nan Ting was eager to know this question, and asked again, he was worried that someone would catch up with him through the same method, "What happened? Why did you suddenly come here in the rain? "

But Mr. Consultant didn't answer anyone's question. He lowered his head and slowly put away his black umbrella.

No matter how dull Nan Ting was, he could still feel the abnormal indifference of the person in front of him.It's not like him.

He glanced at the umbrella and asked tentatively, "You...are you not injured?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Don't you know? It rained here a few days ago, that rain..." Nan Ting felt more and more uneasy as he spoke, so he simply reached out and grabbed Mr. Consultant's sleeve, trying to lift it up , to see if the skin underneath is normal, or there are signs of decay and blackening...

But the advisor withdrew his hand.

"What's wrong?" He gave Nan Ting a strange look.

Nan Ting's hand stopped in the air.He hesitated to speak: "...you look weird."

"Do I have it?" The consultant parted the wet hair from his forehead a little helplessly.At this time, the sense of alienation suddenly disappeared from him again, but the remaining words brought Nan Ting even more weirdness.

"Maybe it's the first time I've seen you so lively." He smiled, "Suddenly I'm not used to it."
