In order?

There are only four pictures in total, what order can it be?

After hanging up the phone, Yi Sa tried to arrange a few drawings. He was trying to sort them back and forth, and Zong Hang suddenly discovered something: "Hey, Yi Sa, there is a page number at the bottom of this page."

It turns out that the entire text was edited and printed with a word document, so there is a very small page number marked with serial numbers at the bottom of each page.

She rearranged the words and papers in the order of page numbers, and then she realized that those pictures were no longer the order she had seen before. The order in the document was: long-legged eyes, ground rotation, eyes, and crawling and kneeling.

Yi Sa's heart moved.

The ancestral hall did not understand the inside story. When they edited the information, they should just simply list the pictures, and they would not arrange any order. However, the information was sent to her and the page numbers of several drawings were re-tuned, which shows...

It was Ding Panling who adjusted it. After the adjustment, he found some clues in the new order and felt that this discovery was worrying.

She quickly arranged the drawings in the order she was looking at.

1. Many vortexes are traces left after the appearance of the drift cave.

2. Three people crawled and knelt down to a round hole.

3. Countless eyes.

4. Eyes with legs.

Yi Sa asked Zonghang: "If this is a picture to speak, in this order, what kind of story can you tell?"

I talked when I was a child. When I was a child, Zong Hangyi was not careful. The sentence structure of that year came out: "In the past, there was a drifting cave that often 'opened the door'. Every time I opened the door and closed the door, such a whirlpool would be left on the ground."

"One day, when it opened the door, three people happened to pass by. When they saw it, they were so scared that they knelt down and kowtow..."

To describe it very bluntly, Zong Hang's compositions when he was a child are probably not very outstanding.

Yi Sa only caught the loopholes in the sentence: "Three people happened to pass by? Is there any other possibility?"

"It may also be found here specifically, just like the ancients worshipped the sun, wind, thunder and lightning. They worshipped this terrible unknown phenomenon, and it is possible..."

Zong Hang's heart suddenly broke out: "It's possible that they crawled out of it after opening the door in one time."

Yi Sa followed his words and said: "And these three people are probably the ancestors of the three surnames."

Then how should we contact the second and third pictures?

Zong Hang stared at the picture and murmured: "After the ancestor came out of the drifting cave, many eyes appeared... This shows that they did not come out empty-handed, those eyes might be brought out by them, and then those eyes grew legs and ran around..."

Although he felt it was a bit far-fetched, he still gritted his teeth and said his thoughts: "Can they bring some eye-like monsters out? These monsters scattered everywhere..."

Yi Sa had a terrible idea in his heart, but she held it down first and said, "What are these monsters used for?"

"Eyes are just for seeing things," Zong Hang suddenly flashed his mind, "The other party lives in a cave, underground, and dark holes underground, and it is useless to have eyes, right? Biology class says that when using them, many underground creatures are blind or have eyes, because they can't use them - so they let their eyes out and spread them in all directions to see more things..."

The more he said, the more reliable he felt: "Also, the reason why it can make up the story of humans and artificial intelligence is because through these 'eyes', it sees what this society looks like and knows what problems we are facing now, so it can make up."

"Then where did these eye-shaped monsters go? The ancestors of the three surnames brought it out. Why hasn't anyone in the three surnames mentioned the eyes for so many years?"

Zong Hang thought for a while: "Will it be hidden? It's hidden secretly, so no one knows?"

Yi Sa shook his head: "If it was really brought by the ancestors of the three surnames, they would not hide it from their descendants. Maybe they would have to help them raise them."

What would that be? Zong Hang put his hand into his hair and pressed his head hard, as if this would make him smarter.

After a long time of failure, when I looked up, I saw Yi Sa watching the wiper on the windshield wiper blowing: those irregular water marks came from all directions, and they wiped away, and in less than two seconds, they made a comeback again.

Zong Hang was a little nervous: "Yi Sa?"

Yi Sa strangely repeated the previous words: "In ancient times, people did not pay attention to realistic painting, but preferred freehand painting. This painting method may be to emphasize function, function, rather than real appearance."

Zong Hang passed this in his mind twice.

I understand, what she means is that this eye-shaped monster may not necessarily grow into the shape of an eyeball. The key is its function. It helps the things in the cave to observe the world. That is to say, it can grow into anything, a bird, a stone, a tree, or even a person...

Damn! One person?

Zong Hang opened his mouth, wondering if he was too shocked, but what he wanted to say could not be organized.

Yi Sa didn't say anything, just nodded slowly.

The third painting can be understood as: the ancestor brought out many eyes from the drifting cave.

It can also be understood as: after the ancestors left the drifting cave, many eyes appeared.

What if the eyes refer to people?

The origin of the three surnames was originally only three people, but later the family reproduced and expanded, with more and more people, that is, more and more eyes.

What Ding Panling was worried about was that everyone in the three surnames was actually the "eyes" scattered from things in the cave.

The three surnames of Water Ghost may not be a secret family with extraordinary talents. Their essence is an outpost, watchtower, and observation station that is deliberately cultivated by something.

Everything they take in with their eyes is a personal feeling, but in fact, there are people behind them and there are eyes behind them.

***

The gathering of gas stations is the last rest before leaving. Many people are busy going to the bathroom, going to convenience stores to buy cigarettes, and buying functional drinks. The noise is stirred by the sound of rain, and it is a hot topic.

Yi Sa walked through the sound of the wave and went to Ding Panling.

Ding Panling didn't buy anything, but he followed the crowd with interest, walked around the shelves of the convenience store, picked up something and read the instructions, and put it back in a regular manner.

Seeing Yi Sa coming, he asked, "Did you understand?"

Yi Sa nodded, bent her finger and poked her around her eyes: "We?"

Ding Panling signaled to the three surnames in the convenience store: "Maybe they are all."

Although he was mentally prepared, this speculation was proven by Ding Panling's mouth, and Yi Sa couldn't help but feel frightened: "What do we see and what we read, can we see all the same?"

Ding Panling said: "It should be right, just imagine that everyone is a humanoid camera..."

Speaking of this, my head turned around strangely towards the shelves, like an electronic eye swept from one end to the other: "It can see all new products, new activities, and new celebrity endorsements."

Yi Sa's hairs all rose on his arm, and his voice lowered: "What do we think? Can we control what we think?"

Ding Panling smiled: "Don't be a soldier, it shouldn't be able to do this. If we can control our work, there is no need to set up so many games. We should just watch it and see through your eyes."

That's also awful.

Yi Sa looked around uncomfortable: After this trip, there were at least dozens of people in the three surnames. If this guess is valid, it is equivalent to dozens of cameras being mounted around, and there is no way to say anything.

Ding Panling glanced at her: "This feeling makes people feel uncomfortable, right?"

Yi Sa nodded.

Ding Panling pursed her lips, and two nasolabial lines dragged across the corners of her lips like a gully. After a long time, she said: "So, me."

***

It took more than 1,000 kilometers from Taiyuan to Xining, so I hurriedly rushed and walked for two days.

Because of the doubts brought about by the "eyes" incident, Zong Hang did not bother him for a long time. He used the spirit of a dead pig not to be afraid of boiling water to relieve Yi Sa: "I'm dead and alive, so I'm here to borrow an eye to see something. What a big deal."

Anyway, I'm full of bags, so there's not much more.

I also learned to look at the problem from a different perspective: "In the past, Ding Changsheng and the others always stared at me, thinking that I was an alien. Now that I am better, they are not normal, and they have their own weirdness. I feel much more balanced."

...

The next evening, the convoy entered Xining. After several twists and turns in the city, it stopped in front of a magnificent hotel.

The car has been sitting for too long these two days, and its limbs are a little stiff. After getting off the car, many people were not in a hurry to check in, and they stretched and turned on the spot. Yi Sa was rubbing his neck. Ding Changsheng came over in great enthusiasm and called her: "Sa Sa, do you still have an impression of this?"

Yi Sa was puzzled, and Ding Changshengxiang couldn't remember it either, so she raised her hand and pointed to the sign on the high place: "Look at that!"

Looking in a direction, there are five big gilded characters: Jianghe Hotel.

Yi Sa cried out in dismay: "Is it that... Jianghe Guesthouse?"

Ding Changsheng smiled and revisited his old place and was in a good mood: "That's the one, didn't expect it? It was the industry of the three surnames, and the place was not even replaced. The original site was demolished and rebuilt. Sasa, you were so tall at that time..."

He made a height with his hand: "Running all over the ground, so sarcastic..."

As he was talking, someone came out from the room, probably because of an old acquaintance, Ding Changsheng passed by happily.

It turns out that it is the river guesthouse.

Yi Sa stood there for a while and looked around a little confused.

I don’t recognize you anymore, I really can’t recognize you, and it all changed.

She remembered that the Jianghe Guesthouse was renovated by a primary school and was very simple. A classroom was divided into two rooms with partitions. When going to the toilet, she had to go to the public bathroom. There were no tall buildings around her, and they were all very short bungalows. The shops had no signs. They only used red paint to wipe the words "shop" on the wall. In order to show that she recognized her words, she pointed at her from afar and shouted: "Li Guang! Li Guang!"

Zong Hang looked at her from the side, and he heard Ding Changsheng's words: "Yi Sa, you came when you were a child, right?"

Yi Sa nodded.

She pointed to Zong Hang: "It wasn't like this before. I used to be just one building and there was a playground. There was a swing on the playground. I was swinging there..."

"And here, when I go out, I turn left, it's a store and sell toys. One day, my sister and Jiang Jun went out for a date. I didn't know what a date was at that time. I thought they were going out to play, and they cried and clamored to go. If I put it in the past, my sister would definitely push me and twist my ears..."

"But at that time, Jiang Jun was next to him, in front of Brother Xiao Jiang, she had to act gentle. She said to me softly, Nannan, you should play by yourself, sister buy you a toy. After that, she held my hand and entered the store and bought me a toy fishing machine."

She giggled, but her eyes gradually became blurred: "I stood in the store with a toy fishing machine in my arms, just like I was hit by lightning. Even my sister and Jiang Jun left when they left--because she didn't treat me so well, do you understand? I actually bought toys for me, something I've never said before. Do you think women are hypocritical? I really gave Brother Xiao Jiang's blessing..."

Zong Hang looked at her worriedly: "Yi Sa, are you okay?"
