Lin Qingqing looked at her suspiciously and was about to speak when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
"Captain Lin"!
Lin Qingqing turned around and saw a strong, dark-faced man standing not far behind her.
"It turns out to be Captain Kang," Lin Qingqing greeted him with a smile, a little surprised that this usually taciturn man had something to do with her.
"Captain Lin, if nothing happens, come with me to the old mayor's place."
"Old mayor? What does he want to see me for?"
"Well, you'll know when you go there," Captain Kang said, without explaining, he turned around and walked ahead.
Lin Qingqing had no choice but to lead Wen Ling to follow.
The three of them arrived at the quiet courtyard one after another.
"Old mayor, are you looking for me"?
"Captain Lin, how have you been living in the town these days?" Mayor Bai asked with a smile.
He had a dark green turban on his head and was still wearing the same coarse clothes he saw last time. He had a kind smile on his thin face and looked like an ordinary old man.
"It's pretty good. The villagers in Baishi Town are very friendly," Lin Qingqing said.
There are not many people in Baishi Town, but there is a rare peaceful atmosphere. Although they have experienced disasters before, everyone still has the light of hope in their eyes.
Lin Qingqing understood that this had nothing to do with Mayor Bai in front of her. Thinking of this, she became even more curious as to why the old mayor was looking for her.
"The world outside is still very chaotic, and all bases are busy fighting the zombies besieging the city. If Captain Lin has nothing urgent, you can stay in Baishi Town for a while," the old mayor said in a sincere tone.
He is still so gentle, and it feels like a kind old grandfather is kindly trying to retain a junior he likes.
Lin Qingqing was stunned for a moment, feeling that the old mayor had not finished saying something, but she had no intention of leaving. She had not yet deceived the woman named Yin Yaxiu.
"Do you need our help with anything?" Lin Qingqing asked tentatively.
"Not yet." The old mayor smiled and shook his head, but in his heart he was amazed at this woman's sensitivity.
If there is no one at the moment, does that mean there will be one in the future? Can he predict what will happen in the future? Lin Qingqing couldn't figure out what this mysterious old mayor was planning.
But since Baishi Town has taken them in, there is nothing wrong with them doing something for Baishi Town.
"Since you said so, let's just stop intruding for a few more days." Lin Qingqing thought about it for a few times, and then agreed.
"You're welcome, Captain Lin," the old mayor said with a smile, not finding his request strange at all.
After coming out of the old mayor's house, Lin Qingqing was still thinking about the old mayor's words.
"Little Bell, what do you think the old mayor means?"
"Hmm... maybe it's a rainy day plan"? Wen Ling was a little unsure.
"Are you planning for a rainy day? It's not impossible," Lin Qingqing thought thoughtfully.
At the old mayor's home, Captain Kang sent Lin Qingqing and others out and then returned to the small courtyard.
"Old Bai, why do you have to let those outsiders stay?"
"What do you think of their strength?" The old mayor asked rhetorically.
"I can't tell, it shouldn't be too bad. They have guns and their strength is probably about the same as Bayan," Captain Kang said.
In front of the old mayor, he lost his cold expression and returned to his honest look.
The old mayor shook his head when he heard this, as if he didn't agree with him.
"Then if they are not strong enough, then what are you going to do to keep them?"
"Haha." When he heard what he said, the old mayor chuckled twice, but instead of answering his questions, he changed the subject and talked about something else.
"Are you still thinking about Yaxiu?"
"I……"
"You and she are not the same person," the old mayor said, picking up the big teacup and taking a sip of water.
"We grew up together, and her father taught me blacksmithing. Why are we not the same person?"
Captain Kang became a little anxious when he heard this, and the black-faced man who was not good at words argued anxiously for the first time.
"well"! The old mayor shook his head helplessly, and then said slowly: "Her future destiny is not in Baishi Town."
"Then where is she going?" Captain Kang's voice was a little tight.
This was the first time that the old mayor had spoken such affirmative words to him. Although he had advised him to give up before, he had never told him the reason.
He always thought that Yaxiu was still young, and the two of them had not seen each other for a long time, so they were a bit unfamiliar.
"Far away, far away," the old mayor said and glanced at him, hoping he would give up his thoughts.
Captain Kang was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he said: "What exactly did you see? I have never given a reason before, why did you suddenly say she was going far away this time?"
After a pause, he then asked: "Is it because of Captain Lin? Then how can you let them stay?"
When he said this, he stared with his eyes angrily and felt as if he was going to drive Lin Qingqing and his party away the next moment.
"It's not because of them! Why are you so stubborn, kid?" The old mayor was helpless when he heard this.
He has watched these children grow up since childhood. The boy from the Kang family has liked Yaxiu since he was a child, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is not in their hearts at all. But this kid just insisted on accepting death, and as a result, the relationship that was originally good has now become stiff because of it.
"Ya Xiu has said that she will inherit her father's blacksmith shop, but she will not leave!"
Captain Kang's tone was firm. He finally got her back. Seeing that his wish was about to come true, how could he let her leave with some inexplicable people.
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore. He immediately stood up and walked away. He must find a way to drive away those people and not give Yaxiu a chance to leave.
"Hey! Ah Ping, why are you running away? I haven't finished speaking yet! Kang Ping"! The old mayor shouted hurriedly from behind.
Seeing that the person had run away, the old mayor stamped his feet anxiously behind him. This damn boy Kang Ping is too impatient. He shouldn't talk so much. Can that girl be manipulated by others? Really!
"well"!
The old mayor sighed, then looked up at the sky, his already deep frown deepening.
When he was a child, his family was well off, but he didn't like reading and was only particularly interested in divination. Later, he lost this when he joined the battle and became a supporter of materialism.
But who would have thought that after this apocalypse, he would actually awaken his superpower, and it was related to divination and prediction.
He had been restless recently, and it wasn't until Lin Qingqing and others came that things changed, and he couldn't say why.
He couldn't feel anything from this woman, but he had only seen this kind of situation in those powerful people. Although I don’t know what will happen yet, it’s right to keep them for as long as possible.
"I hope this kid won't screw me up"!
