Gu Jun's eyes were pitch black, and when he recovered from consciousness, it felt like two days had passed.

Although he was very tired, he couldn't fall asleep, and seemed to have lost the ability to sleep, and he was always in this exhausted state.

In addition to being able to control the movement of the eyeballs, other parts of the body are still paralyzed, and he cannot open his eyes. Zu Ge had torn his eyelids open before.

"Systems Anatomy", Visual Apparatus…

In the past two days, he took a break to recall what he had learned to refresh his mind, and tried hard to control the eyelids, that is, the eyelids.

"Ocular accessories are devices that protect, move, and support the eyeball. It includes structures such as eyelids, conjunctiva, lacrimal apparatus, extraocular muscles, orbital fat body, and orbital fascia... "

"The eyelids are located in front of the eyeball and are divided into upper and lower eyelids. The gap between the two is called the palpebral fissure. The inner and outer ends of the palpebral fissure are called the inner canthus and outer canthus respectively. The free edge of the eyelid is called the palpebral margin, which is divided into The front and back of the eyelid…”

Pages of the visual apparatus chapter of "Systematic Anatomy" are in front of your eyes, and the more you think about it, the clearer it is.

Since you can't die, you can't wait to die like this.

"I'm a doctor, I want to save myself." Gu Jun has been trying to exercise the levator muscles and orbicularis oculi muscles. As long as they are revived, he can open and close his eyes.

After two days, he gradually seemed to feel the existence of the eyelids...

Xu Shi saw his eyes turning back and forth, and the eyelid of his right eye was suddenly held down by a fluffy hand, and there was a slapping sound: "Be honest!"

Unable to move or speak, Gu Jun really didn't want to suffer this kind of pain for another second. How can one talk to such a creature

People with locked-in syndrome can convey meaning by eye rolling, and he figured that since flapping could be a language, so could eye rolling.

This is the dream world, all languages are willing to let the other party understand, and the other party can understand.

Gu Jun pondered and recalled his shallow knowledge of linguistics... Now that he has it, he will use Chinese to create an "eyeball rolling input method"...

The strokes of the characters, dot, horizontal, vertical, left, right, lift, fold, hook, are all replaced by different eyeball rolling movements, and a word is written by a set of movements.

Turn your eyes from left to right, horizontally.

Turn your eyes from top to bottom, vertical.

Turn both eyes to the upper right, yes point. and others...

When you finish writing a word, wrinkle your eyes at the same time to show that you are done.

Wrinkle the left eye to indicate a comma, wrinkle the right eye to indicate a period, wrinkle the left eye twice in quick succession to indicate a question mark, and wrinkle the right eye to indicate an exclamation point.

"That's it." Gu Jun firmly remembered this set of rules. Simple is simple, but this is a language that can really be expressed with eyes!

Time passed in the dark, and about another day passed, during which he was exercising his eye muscles and practicing this input method.

Feeling that it was almost ready, Gu Jun rolled his eyes and wrote slowly: "Hello."

Sure enough, there was a Zu Ge who had been staring at him, and suddenly there was a sudden slapping sound: "Are you talking with your eyes?"

Gu Jun's heart suddenly became excited, it was a success! It felt like a glimmer of light after years of being stuck in the dark. He quickly collected himself, and continued to turn his eyes slowly to say: "Yes, my mind is very clear, thank you for saving me. I don't know who you are going to give me tribute to? What will happen to me after that?"

It is very strenuous to keep rolling the eyeball up and down, left and right like this. When he finished writing this sentence, he was a little dizzy.

"Come on, this guy has spoken!" the Zuko exclaimed, and there were some disordered footsteps immediately.

Gu Jun continued to roll his eyes hard, expressing his kindness: "Hello, I come from another world, my name is Gu Jun."

"Ignore him!" said the voice that was obviously their leader, "No matter which world they come from, human beings are very cunning!"

Gu Jun quickly rolled his eyes, "I have no malicious intentions..."

"He said he meant no harm."

"That means we have malicious intentions?" The leader said angrily, "Stupid Zug! He wants to take advantage of our kindness, heal him, and then help him return to his world. Whether it's evil or not, that's what he means .”

"Then he is fooling us? Damn it, let's eat him! Forget about the five thousand grouse, five thousand quail, and five thousand wild pheasants."

This is their final agreement on his value.

The Zug who had been advocating to eat him said again: "I know there is a dish that can make him delicious to the extreme! First use him as an incubator for worms, and wait until his whole body is covered with worms. Then skewer them and bake them until they are half-cooked, which not only retains the deliciousness of the worms and gravy, but also has a chewy texture. If you add a little more spices and pour a little moon wine, tsk tsk, that taste."

"Brother, why don't we just eat his hands and feet? The rest are worth at least three thousand each!"

"Ah..." The leader's voice seemed to swallow his throat, a little annoyed: "Let me think about it!"

No, don't think about it. Gu Jun's heart tightened, his eyes were fixed and he didn't know what to say. These ancestors are not human, and their way of thinking is even more unpredictable than Wu Shiyu's. It seems that he would better keep his mouth shut for a while... no, close his eyes.

After the leader Zug said that after thinking about it, he couldn't understand the beating sounds, and the Zugs closed the language to him.

Gu Jun continued to do his own exercise quietly, and sometimes tried to call Wu Shiyu and others, but there was no response at all.

He also can't feel the movement of space, and can only rely on his hearing to distinguish one or two. However, the human body has a mystery. When other senses are blocked, his hearing becomes more acute. He could hear the beating, the rustling, and then the sound of the waves... as if the Zugs were taking him across the sea in a boat.

About two days passed, and the sound of the waves gradually disappeared, but there was still the sound of water flow, as if the boat turned from the sea into the river.

He really didn't know whether the Zugs had attacked him. He couldn't even tell where the pain in his brain came from in his body. If Zug cut off one of his legs and ate him at this time, he might not know.

But Gu Jun kept exercising, did not give up self-help, exercised his eyes, and exercised his spirit.

At this time, taking advantage of the slapping sounds being far away, the guard Zu Ge also walked away. He tried to open his eyes again, imagining that his whole body gathered all his strength, and the levator muscle of the upper eyelid suddenly exerted force!

"Ah..." The dazzling light flooded in suddenly, and he instinctively closed the eyes that he had finally opened almost immediately, but he was reluctant and held back. When his eyes gradually adapted to the light, he saw the clear white sky, the emerald green river, and the black prow of the wooden boat.

It was hard to believe that it was such a flat canoe that carried him across the sea from the deserted island.

And he himself was stuffed into a big wooden barrel, his eyes tried to look down, his hands and feet were still...

But the part of the skin he could see was covered with purple-red scabs... At that time, it seemed that his whole body's skin had burst.

"I really don't know what methods these ancestors used to save me."

Gu Jun tried his best to observe the surrounding environment, and he could see that the river course was located between a fertile plain. There were woodlands, farmland, and scattered farmhouses on the plain. The pointed roof was covered with thatch, surrounded by green fences, and smoke rises from the chimneys of the farmhouses.

He saw some figures among the farmhouses, but it was too far away, and his eyes were not fully recovered, so he couldn't see their faces clearly.

"Help..." Gu Jun wanted to shout, "Help..." But he couldn't make a sound.

He suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching, so he quickly closed his eyes, pretending that he could not open them yet.

After a while, he opened a small slit slightly, and the fat Zuge beside him didn't notice.

Gradually, he saw the small wooden boat moored to the shore of a woodland, and the group of a dozen or so Zuko lifted the whole wooden barrel and jumped off the boat. Although they are small in size, they are very strong. They can carry the wooden barrel containing him, but they can walk quickly through the woods, and there is a rustling sound.

They walked around in this dark and lush forest for a long time, and Gu Jun suddenly saw thousands of Zuge in the forest ahead!

The dense forest on the deserted island seems to be just a small village, and this is the headquarters of the various tribes of the ancestors...

The Zugs climbed on the branches of the trees, squatted among the unkempt grass, and burrowed into the rotten tree holes, looking at this side with pairs of small eyes, all of which were a little bit bright.

Among them, there is an ancestor standing in the middle of the woodland, the hair all over the body is white, it seems that it is the leader of the tribe or an elder-like existence.

The wooden barrel was put down in the forest, and there were chaotic slapping sounds everywhere. Gu Jun finally saw clearly that these ancestors made different sounds by slapping their bodies, thus forming this ancestor language.

Each of the dozen or so ancestors he brought slapped himself, as if explaining his origin to the tribe. The other ancestors were also slapped when they heard it, and exclaimed again and again.

"Let him listen, it doesn't hurt to let him hear." The ancestor said each, smoothing the white beard under its mouth, looking quite kind.

Gu Jun was able to understand their language again immediately, and heard the "chief Zuge" say the plan, "In this way, we will not have to pay tribute for five consecutive years!"

"Ah." The ancestors each sighed, and all the ancestors who were about to boil calm down and listened. The ancestors each looked at Gu Jun and said, "Do our ancestors and tribes do things like that? Confused! The Nightmare House devoured us and we couldn't do that to him."

Hearing this, Gu Jun was overjoyed, and was about to struggle to express himself to the ancestors with the language of eyeballs...

But the old ancestor said again: "To pay him tribute to those greedy evil cats is worth at most 5,000 grouse, 5,000 quail, and 5,000 wild pheasants. But if we sell him to black merchants, we can In exchange for at least 10,000 grouse, 10,000 quail, and 10,000 wild pheasants!"

The young ancestors immediately understood, and exclamations and cheers sounded at the same time.

"In this way, we will pay 5,000 of the three tributes." The ancestors each said, "Isn't there still 5,000 left for us to enjoy?"

All of a sudden, the Zugs jumped up and down among the trees, and the sound of excited and frenzied beating and cheering resounded in the dense forest.
