C100 To be Friends with Time
"Gu, why are you here alone?"
Lee Liang walked closer to Gu, bent down, and asked with a smile.
"Are you not alone? Do you have another person or many of you?"
Gu asked with some doubt.
"This..."
"How long have you been here? How much do you know about what happened on this island?"
Ironflesh asked anxiously. He wasn't here to play. He wanted to complete the mission that he hadn't completed before. Given his personality, he couldn't possibly ask such a question in a soft voice like Lee Liang.
"What is the time?"
Gu asked curiously. It seemed that Lee Liang and his group were on completely different levels of thinking from her. They could not communicate at all.
"Are you kidding me? Don't think that I am very patient!"
Ironflesh deliberately put on a fierce expression, but he had no intention of doing anything.
Gu was still staring at Ironflesh, without any expression on her face.
"Forget it. I can't get anything from her. This girl is either an idiot, or she has never been in contact with anyone since she was young. She doesn't know how a normal person thinks."
Huang Yuanshuai said with a helpless smile.
How could he make things difficult for such a child?
The rest of them could only give up. After carefully checking their surroundings, they confirmed that Gu was the only one here and that there were no other creatures.
The sky soon turned dark. Ironflesh found some dried branches. But he was afraid that the high temperature would light up the place, so he set up a rack first. He put the dried wood on the rack and burned it. At the same time, he took out some supplies. Everyone sat around the bonfire and rested.
"Why did you burn these trees?"
Gu sat next to Lee Liang. She seemed to like Lee Liang very much. This feeling of being with so many people made her very curious. There were always endless questions.
"These branches have all died. They are no longer useful. Burning them can provide heat for us!"
Lee Liang said patiently.
"No, they are not dead. They are just entering another process of life. What you are doing is wrong, but it is also right to let them enter another process."
Gu said something that Lee Liang couldn't understand.
"Come, eat something!"
Lee Liang took some food from his hand and gave it to Gu. He did not know how this child survived here.
Gu held the food in her small hands and was a little afraid. She did not know if it could be eaten or not, but after looking at Lee Liang, she mustered her courage and took a bite.
"This is different. It is more delicious than what I usually eat."
"Do you usually eat things too?"
Lee Liang was a little curious. It turned out that this little guy also ate, but there was really no food around!
"Yes, there will be food tomorrow morning, but it will be very short. If you want to eat, you have to hurry. You cannot hesitate!"
Gu continued to say words that Lee Liang did not understand.
At night, Lee Liang lay on the ground and stared at the starry sky in the sky. At this moment, there was no cloud in the ten thousand miles, the sky was filled with stars. He could not remember how long it had been since he last saw such a night. Even in the world in his memory, the sky had become muddy because of the pollution. There was nothing at night other than dark clouds.
Gu leaned close to Lee Liang. She seemed to like the feeling of being with people. Her eyes were always open. She did not have any reaction to this beautiful night. Instead, she liked to stare at Lee Liang.
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
Lee Liang narrowed his eyes. He did not guard against this mysterious little girl at all. On the contrary, Lei Yu, who was not far away, kept staring at him.
"There is no difference between night and day for me. It is the same." Gu continued, "I don't know what time you guys are talking about. The sky will turn black and then white. It will change very quickly."
Lee Liang could not help thinking about Gu. He did not know how long she had lived alone for before she had such feelings. However, it did not match her tender appearance.
Thinking about it, Lee Liang fell asleep.
"Quickly get up!"
A small hand was pushing Lee Liang, waking him up from his sleep.
"What's wrong?"
Lee Liang looked at the sky. The stars were still in the sky, but there was a hint of red in the sky. It was the time for day and night to change.
"Quickly get up and eat!"
Gu called Lee Liang, and at the same time, she woke the others.
Lee Liang started to cook, and only then did he realize that the surrounding branches were full of flower buds.
These flower buds were golden. From afar, they looked like small suns, round and about to bloom.
"Eat it quickly!"
Gu plucked a flower bud and directly put it into her mouth to eat.
"This thing can really be eaten?"
Lei Yu was the guard at night and even she did not know when these flower buds appeared. She only noticed these things when Gu shouted.
"Let's give it a try!"
Lee Liang gently plucked a flower bud and put it into his mouth. He believed Gu's words and also believed that she would not harm him.
A burning sensation rushed from his tongue to his entire body. Where he had felt tired before, and even where he had been injured. There was a faint burning sensation. It was a very strange feeling. It was as if he was healing himself.
Lee Liang picked another one and put it into his mouth. It felt very good.
The rest of them still did not dare to try it.
Dazzling sunlight appeared in the horizon. The sunlight shone over. The flower buds that grew on the tree trunk seemed to be shy. They retracted and disappeared.
"Why is it gone?"
Lei Hu asked with some regret.
"No, it only happens at that time every day."
Gu casually said. She did not care if others believed her or not, nor did she care if others ate or not. It was enough for her to tell the truth.
"Haha, you are hesitating. Please treat me early tomorrow!"2
Lee Liang had experienced the benefits of this mysterious flower bud. At this moment, he was full of energy and started to laugh at Lei Hu.
This small episode did not cause any conflict. After the sun rose, Ironflesh continued to search for the clues he wanted.
Lee Liang and Gu stayed together. He found that Gu did not speak much during the day. She liked to sit there in a daze, and time passed by.
"It's not that she doesn't know about time, but she made friends with time!"
One. A voice suddenly came from Lee Liang's heart. Gu looked at it strangely. But in fact, she lived a purer life than anyone else. She did not need to use a clock to record time. Even if she did that, she would not be able to save a second. Instead, she should be friends with time, and time would be a gift to her. His life was simple, and he didn't have too many worries.
At this moment, Lee Liang was even somewhat envious of Gu's condition. There were no worries or worries on her face. This was almost impossible in the world he had lived in before.
"I found it!"
Ironflesh shouted excitedly, as if he had found something he had been looking for.
Everyone surrounded him, only to see him staring at a symbol.
This symbol was like an inverted red wine cup, at the very top there was a dot.
"This dot represents a crystal core!"
Ironflesh said excitedly, "Next, we need to find the specific coordinates!"
