24, Chapter 24(1/2)

The old woman picked up a few eggs and looked towards the deer pen.

Ning Qiuyan felt that he was very rude and immediately turned away, but heard the other party ask him from a distance: "Is it Xiao Ning?"

There are no other outsiders on the island, so everyone knows that he is the Ning Qiu Yan who came to the island to donate blood.

He turned back and tried to look at the other person with normal eyes, but this time when the old woman was facing him, the severely damaged face gave him a greater impact than before.

"Hello." He replied politely with a steady expression, "My name is Ning Qiuyan."

The old woman smiled gently, and the scar became more ferocious: "Here, help my mother-in-law pick up the eggs."

She waved.

Ning Qiuyan threw all the carrots to the deer and walked over.

The chickens in the chicken shed were frightened by his intrusion and screamed wildly. Guan Ziming went to drive them away and said to Ning Qiuyan: "This is Granny Bai, the one in charge of the kitchen. She arranges the meals on the island."

"

Ning Qiuyan was stunned, so this was the Granny Bai who Kang Bo said was unwilling to meet people?

He seemed to understand some of the reasons, but he felt a little close to her. It turned out that the delicacies he liked were all made by this mother-in-law.

Guan Ziming didn't want to say more to him, he just said: "You can pick up the eggs in the nest here, but don't leave the eggs over there yet. Be careful not to break them when you put them away."

Ning Qiuyan nodded: "Okay."

Even if she had never done these tasks, Ning Qiuyan still knew how to pick up eggs. The three of them quickly picked up a basket full, and there were still some extra ones that had no place to put them, so Guan Ziming found other containers and packed them.

The truck was still waiting for them. The driver stood aside smoking, and on the empty seat was a blood bag incubator for Guan Heng.

Everyone was very kind, and the atmosphere during the conversation was peaceful and beautiful.

Regardless of the owner of the island, looking at the people and the environment on the island, people often think that they are in a paradise.

Ning Qiuyan still can't help but like this place.

The carriage contained a few logs cut from the mountains and some wild vegetables. Guan Ziming helped Granny Bai get into the carriage. The road here was not dangerous and the carriage was driving slowly. She was originally sitting on the haystack in the carriage.

The straw baskets and basins containing eggs need to be fixed, otherwise they will be broken during bumps.

Granny Bai said to Ning Qiuyan again: "I can't take it by myself. Xiao Ning, come and help me."

It's getting late, it's already afternoon.

Ning Qiuyan had to go back, so he got into the truck with the old lady. It was the first time for him to sit in the carriage like this, which was a bit strange for him.

The vehicle slowly walked through the forest, with the moist and cool fresh air filling its entrance and nose, and retreating through the picturesque scenery, which seemed to make every frame captured by the eyes more beautiful.

Except that every slight shake made Ning Qiuyan a little nervous about the eggs in her arms.

"My child, how old are you this year?" Grandma Bai asked.

"18." Ning Qiuyan replied.

"You're still so young." Grandma Bai asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are the recent meals not to your liking? I changed the recipe, but they still had so much left when they brought it back."

Ning Qiuyan said sheepishly: "No, the food you cooked is delicious..."

Granny Bai said: "I have been cooking food for decades on the island, and no matter how delicious it is, everyone is tired of it. Finally, someone with freshness comes here. Just cooking for you makes me happy every time."

I'm so happy. Eat more next time, eh?"

Ning Qiuyan responded obediently.

They didn't say much in the car. After getting off the bus, Ning Qiuyan helped and brought eggs, wild vegetables and wild products into the kitchen.

The kitchen was much larger and brighter than he had imagined.

Unlike other places where the curtains are closed during the day, the kitchen has an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, bringing all the light into the house. Standing in front of the window, one can see the dense dark green firs, as if

You can directly breathe the scent of the forest and be in an art gallery.

"Sir never comes to the kitchen." Granny Bai came over and said, "This is my world."

Guan Heng probably doesn't eat human food, so he won't come here.

With this thought, Ning Qiuyan turned around and unexpectedly faced Granny Bai's face. Looking directly at her so closely, her face was seen more clearly. Ning Qiuyan trembled in her heart, feeling that she had reacted too much and was very impolite.

, quickly lowered his eyelashes.

"Don't feel guilty. It's normal to be scared at first sight. I'm used to it." Grandma Bai said kindly, "Here, help her put this in the cabinet so that she can't reach it."

Ning Qiuyan blushed and took the thing in her hand as she was told.

The young man is still growing taller, so he can easily reach the wall cabinet and put the items on it.

"At first I was often scared when I looked in the mirror. Sometimes if I didn't go out for a few days, people on the island would be frightened when they saw me. Over time, I stopped going out."

Granny Bai is very calm about her face, and it can be seen from her words that she is a very peaceful person.

Ning Qiuyan turned around and asked softly: "How did you get injured?"

Grandma Bai continued to pass things to him, saying as she did so: "The ones that were bitten."

In fact, Ning Qiuyan had a vague guess. Combining the coded photos of the victims in the news and Su Jianzhou's description, Granny Bai's injuries were in line with his guess.

The "monster" he saw with his own eyes that day was far more cruel than he imagined.

The monster with sharp teeth and blood-red eyes he saw was just a possibility, and now Granny Bai's injury told him a consequence.

Shocking consequences.

"It happened many years ago." Granny Bai said, her tone was as calm as if she was talking about someone else's business. "Too much venom was injected, and you should have died - death is better than infection. At this critical moment, sir, come

It saved my life. The venom was not discharged at that time and only this scar was left, so I can be considered lucky."

Ning Qiuyan paused for a second or two before continuing to put things in the wall cabinet.

Granny Bai said: "After so many years, sometimes I still feel like I have experienced a nightmare."

After putting all the things away, Ning Qiuyan asked: "I heard that injuries will heal faster here, so is your injury healing also because of Mr. Guan?"

He couldn't control his curiosity, so he asked again: "Last time there was a power outage, a worker in the kitchen was injured. Has he also recovered?"

Ning Qiuyan could now somewhat understand what Guan Ziming said, but he still had no idea how he did it, just like the injury on his palm, which seemed to have recovered overnight.

This is simply a medical miracle, but everything here cannot be explained by science.

"Of course it all depends on Mr. Bai." Granny Bai said with a smile, "You have already met that boy just now. He drove us back."

Ning Qiuyan knew that the injured worker was the driver.

It was night, and Lu Qianque's helicopter stopped at a clearing in the woods beside Tamsui Lake.

He got off the plane and glanced at the frozen lake. The snowy scenery relieved some of the emotions he felt from crossing the sea.

In an instant, a silent black shadow passed by, and Lu Qianque's tall back appeared at the entrance of the mansion.

Comber was already waiting there, and they exchanged a few words briefly as they entered the room.

Lu Qianque smiled with interest and went straight to the third floor.

Guan Heng stood in front of the window in the night, his stern profile as before.

Hearing the sound of Lu Qianque's footsteps, he didn't look back and just said lightly: "Here he comes."

"Sir." Lu Qianque nodded respectfully and said to Guan Heng's back, "The matter is not very difficult, but it took a while to deal with it."

After they finished their serious conversation, Lu Qianque joked: "I heard that you and the puppy were having trouble."

Guan Heng also didn't like the term "little dog" very much. Lu Qianque restrained himself a little and continued: "I also heard that you punished him for killing sheep."

Guan Heng turned around: "Do you think he shouldn't be punished?"

"Of course he deserves the punishment. If you don't give him a lesson, how can he remember it?" Lu Qianque's eyes moved, and he nodded again, "I'm not questioning you, but sir, how long has it been since you have been close to humans?

Really? Especially for humans of this age."

Guan Heng's long hair was draped behind him, his expression unchanged, as if he was waiting for him to continue.

"Our way of thinking is completely different from humans," Lu Qianque said. "You can't imagine how fragile they can be, not just physically, but also psychologically. If you ask him to kill a sheep, let me use an analogy, it's like in

If you take puppies who don't know the dangers of the road to visit the scene of a car accident, they will only be able to remember how terrible and cruel the scene of the car accident was, but they will not be able to connect the cause of the car accident with crossing the road."

Guan Heng said: "You mean he didn't learn the lesson."

Lu Qianque smiled slightly: "Yes."

Guan Heng looked at him coldly, as if using the current results to tell Lu Qianque that his opinion was incorrect.

But Lu Qianque said: "He has killed the sheep. With his obedience, it is difficult to refuse you. But the real result is: he is afraid of you and hates himself for killing the sheep, so he does not come to see you."

Just after my world view was overturned and I realized the existence of aliens in the world, I witnessed the horrific torture scene with my own eyes and indirectly experienced the massacre process.

Lu Qianque knew that by sending Ning Qiuyan to the island, he was pushing him into a world that he feared, and it was meant to encourage growth.

The punishment given by Guan Heng accelerated the process of Ning Qiuyan's acceptance of everything and pushed Ning Qiuyan beyond the limit of his endurance. However, due to force majeure, he still took action.

It is not unreasonable for Kang Bo to say that Ning Qiuyan is very strong. An ordinary person would have collapsed.

Guan Heng's way of thinking is indeed different from that of humans. Until Lu Qianque pointed this out, he still couldn't understand it.

But he was not someone who couldn't accept opinions. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Is this your new parenting experience?"
