Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 457: Mystery countdown

After listening to Saul's speculation, although there is no basis for everything, everyone felt that it was very likely that the truth was like that.

"Let's go, it's time to go back, there is still a battle waiting between the little girl and us tonight." Saul greeted everyone.

Just when everyone couldn't see the slightest hope and thought that the days would continue to be so muddled, something unexpected happened the next day. That incident changed some of the speculations of everyone in the team and made the situation facing everyone worse.

It happened after everyone came to the stone hut in the center of the island again, and the reason why everyone came here was nothing more than the poor food. In the past few days, everyone's eyes are hungry and green, everyone is the same, life seems to be the only thing left in thinking about eating.

When the four people came to the door of the building, Jella ratio couldn't wait to push the door, and then as everyone discussed yesterday, the hut opened again. The woman with the head of the tombstone was still busy at the counter, not paying attention to the arrival of the four.

After everyone took their seats one after another, Saul found that the tombstone woman seemed a little weak. Then at the moment when he looked up, Thor suddenly trembled and fell into shock. Everyone at the table looked at Saul suspiciously.

"It's nothing, I just remembered something suddenly." Facing the three inquiring gazes, Saul waved his hand to explain.

While waiting for the barbecue, Gerabi rubbed his hands with excitement at the counter, while Elisa and Sereo looked at the surroundings curiously. Only Saul stared at the vague back of the tombstone woman in the compartment with a slightly heavy gaze, and fell into unknown contemplation.

Originally, Sol was thinking about something, but looking at the half-bent back of the busy figure of the tombstone woman, Sol's eyes gradually stared.

The process was similar to yesterday, and soon everyone’s barbecue was served, with the same weight as yesterday, three slices per person.

Looking at the three small pieces of barbecue on the plate, which can only be described as ‘poor’, Sol seemed to be afraid of screaming suddenly, staring at the barbecue and suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth. This shocking movement immediately attracted everyone's attention without accident.

"That I might have eaten my stomach, I don't have any appetite." Sol said as he stood up, walked behind the crowd with his own plate, and the female did not react to the tombstone. Sol divided the barbecue on his plate among three people, exactly one slice.

"This... can you hold on without food?" Ai Leisha looked over with big watery eyes, her face looked distressed and worried, and she didn't know whether it was true or false. This barbecue is not worth mentioning outside, but it is life in this rule.

"Ha, it's okay for a day or two, it should be better tomorrow." In the face of everyone's worried eyes, Saul waved his hand.

"Captain, I...I love you!" Jerabi thought for a long time, but only suffocated one sentence, which made everyone laugh.

"You're welcome, eat." Sol waved to everyone, brat, do you still love me? I hope you can think so tomorrow.

After the meal was over, everyone followed the custom to express gratitude to the tombstone women, and then left the stone hut.

Like yesterday, everyone had just stepped out of the door with their front feet, and the door behind them suddenly closed without wind, and then could not be opened like a lock.

"You are very abnormal today, did you find something?" On the way back, Elisa rushed to Sol, and forced his arm around Sol in the struggle. Elisa's problem was also concerned by the sisters and brothers of Sereo, and they looked over.

"It was not easy to discuss there at the time. I was originally prepared to tell you after I came out. You must first be psychologically prepared, because this may be considered bad news. I just glanced at it unintentionally and found the tombstone The words have changed."

"What... What?" Everyone had a horrified expression on their faces. They must know what Saul was talking about. The text on the head of the woman’s tombstone was known yesterday, so no one paid attention to it today, and it was unexpected that there would be changes.

"To be precise, it has not changed throughout, but only changed one place. It is the last sentence,'If you only have seven days left in your life, how would you live?', the seven days in that sentence, I will read it again today. It turned into six days at the time." Sol replied.

"This..." After hearing Saul's answer, everyone subconsciously shuddered, and they were all shocked to speak.

"In my opinion, this literal may mean a countdown. I don’t know exactly when it counts, from the day we came to the rules, or the day we found this stone hut and entered it. , Which is yesterday."

"And the countdown itself, I think there are two possibilities, one is our countdown, and the other is her own countdown. I don't know what will happen when the countdown reaches the end, but I vaguely think it's unlikely. It's like a good thing."

"Now suppose that the worst result will come at the end of the countdown, that is, someone will die, but I don’t think it will work whether we die or she dies. Because I think she is a very important part of this rule. If she dies, we might I really can't get out."

"So I say this is bad news, even if we have enough food, it's useless." Sol said solemnly.

Everyone's thoughts were a little confused for a while, it seemed that they had something to say, but they couldn't say anything with their mouths open. So on the way back, everyone fell into involuntary silence one after another, feeling the true impermanence of the world with great heart.

When the night watch came that night, Sol finished his first guard, and then called Gerabi to change shifts.

Jerabi rubbed his sleepy eyes and stood silently by the fire, waiting for the soul to return to his body. As soon as he turned his head, Jelabi found that Sol did not return to his own thatched hut, but sneaked to the side of the house by himself, and Jelabi followed suspiciously.

"Captain, what are you doing?" When Jerab followed Saul to the side of the thatched hut, he was stunned at the sight in front of him.

Sol was squatting there, constantly pulling up weeds with slightly jagged edges. After removing the upper half of the sawtooth grass leaves, only the soft grass stems were left. At this moment, Sol was proficient. Incomparably, while removing the leaves, he stuffed the grass stalks in his mouth.

This grass was found by Thor, and I don't know what it is. I have never seen it anyway. Maybe it is unique to the rules.

Saul bit his scalp and ate two or three trees yesterday. When chewing, the rhizomes will overflow with slightly sweet juice, and the taste is okay. After the trial, he was still alive and there seemed to be no side effects, so Sol, who hadn't eaten anything for a whole day, prepared a delicious meal of fresh grass.

The reason why he didn't eat in his night watch post was because Saul was worried that he would be hungry after eating for a while, so he cushioned his stomach before going to bed.

"Then what... I found that this grass is edible, and the taste is not too bad." It didn't feel embarrassing to be smashed into Sol by Jerabi. He just ate some weeds, and Sol said to Jie. Rabbi Yangyang raised the grass stalk in his hand and encouraged Gerabi to try it too.

Jerabi's eyes suddenly turned red, and he squatted down beside Sol silently, looking like the child was starving.

"Don't finish eating." Sol got up and clapped his hands, greeted Gerabi, and then went back to sleep in his thatched cottage.

Lying on the haystack, sleep seemed to be coming very fast, and Sol suddenly thought that Jelabi would not eat grass all night, right? This is busy eating grass, what if the enemy comes? The Scarecrow gang usually comes when Gerabi and Celeo are in their positions.

No, I'm going to alert him, and after struggling twice on the haystack, he couldn't beat the sleepy Thor and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Sol woke up from deep sleep. Was called up in the middle of the night last night and had a fight with the Scarecrow gang, Sol always felt that he hadn't slept enough. It seems that this unknown grass still has some side effects. It seems to strengthen sleep, which is a positive effect.

I slept until now, judging from the sunlight coming in from outside the thatched house, I am afraid it is almost noon now.

Although he was hungry as soon as he woke up, he slept soundlessly without a dream and Saul stretched his waist contentedly.

When I opened the door, I saw Elisa and Sereo sitting on the beach, basking in the warm sun. Real basking in the sun, not just a description of the previous one. Obviously everyone was waiting for them, and Gerabi, who was facing her back, was wailing even more.

"Woo~ I tell you, the captain is so great, he let us eat the barbecue but eat grass. When changing shifts last night, watching the captain squatting there like a lonely old goat and grazing silently, he could kill me I'm so touched, woo~" Jerabi wailed.

Saul originally listened with a smile on his face, but his face turned black when he heard it. Are you wheezing? These silly kids, how many times you can't use adjectives, don't use them, what a lonely old goat? It's inexplicable... It's very graphic.

"Why did you work so hard? I'll give you all my meat today." Ai Leisha raised her hand and rubbed Sol's face distressedly.

"Yes, we will give you all too. Captain, you must have a good meal today." Sai Leo brothers and sisters also followed closely.

"This, don't, to be honest, you give me and I won't eat it, don't waste it." Sol waved his hand slightly in horror.

"Why? You didn't find out something we didn't know again, did you?" Ai Leisa looked at Sol suspiciously with her hand in her arms.

"Do you really want to know? Sometimes knowing too much may not be a good thing, like I can only eat grass in the future." Sol shook his head.

After speaking, Sol found that everyone looked at him with angrily, as if they had been deceived by themselves, and Sol sighed.

"Well, I'll tell you again when I get to the place, and it happens to verify my guess." In the end, Sol greeted everyone on the road.

Everyone knows where Sol is referring to the place, after all these days, apart from fighting with the Scarecrow gang, or using Sol’s leather water bag to fetch water from the mountain spring, there is not much that everyone can do, except Go to the stone hut to eat barbecue.

Seeing the mysterious appearance of God Saul, everyone was curious and a little worried at the same time, not knowing what evil this guy was holding back.
