869、

It is false to say that you are not afraid.

Shen Sa is a woman in the end, or a woman in her early twenties.

But the current situation does not allow her to be afraid!

"Let's go. ”

Without waiting for her to think about it more, Cheng Lie continued to pull her forward after she had just stood up straight.

Shen Sa had no choice but to hold the snake's corpse on his arm.

A month ago, she would never have thought that she would be holding a thick and long snake corpse like a bag.

If Lu Yan knew, his jaw would definitely drop, right?

Forget it, if you still have the chance to go back to see Lu Yan, I won't tell her about it.

lest Lu Yan worry about himself.

Shen Sa had already planned in his heart that if he saw Lu Yan, he would definitely tell her a lot of interesting stories in the rainforest.

For example, if you see a baby squirrel hugging another baby squirrel, if you see an elk strolling through the trees in the morning, or if you see a strange and colorful insect in the rainforest......

The premise is that she will go back alive with the growth officer.

I don't know how long I walked, but in this storm, time seems to have lost its meaning.

All she knew was that she kept moving forward, all her senses had faded away, and she thought of herself as a machine, mechanically moving forward desperately.

Cheng Lie rarely looked back at her, let alone gave her any verbal encouragement.

But Shen Sa has no complaints about this.

She knows that she is always a soldier here, not a little sister who needs to be taken care of and cared for.

In order for others not to regard themselves as weakling, first of all, they must not regard themselves as weak.

Thinking of this, Shen Sa gritted his teeth, clenched the snake in his hand, and his eyes became more determined and brighter after being washed by the torrential rain.

The sunlight shone in through the window, Tang Xiao stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and looked in the direction of the window through his fingers a little uncomfortably.

It's been a few days since I moved here, but I'm still not used to the environment.

It's not that the environment of the staff dormitory is bad, on the contrary, the environment here is beautiful, the supporting facilities are comprehensive, the windows are bright and clean, and there is warm sunlight shining in from the window every morning, and the warmth is sprinkled on the wooden floor.

It's just that the window is facing due east, and the material of the curtains is light and thin, so Tang Xiao is awakened by the strong light of the morning almost every day.

She lay in bed in a trance and remembered the dream she had had last night.

She dreamed of Cheng Lie again.

The dream is also divided into two parts, one good and one bad.

In the first half of the night, she saw in her dream the happy time she had with Cheng Lie before, he always smiled evilly, deliberately angry with himself for a while, and held himself in his arms to coax himself for a while.

A dream is a bad one, Tang Xiao doesn't want to recall it, but the picture in the dream is vivid.

She dreamed that Cheng Lie was drenched, as if he had just crawled out of the mire, his surprisingly handsome face was covered with sewage, and his beautiful eyes were full of tiredness.

And his hair, his clothes, and his fingers, all soiled, and she was so distressed that she wanted to rush over and hug him, and tried to dig out clean clothes from the closet for him to change, but every time she didn't wait for her to approach him, he disappeared.

Tang Xiao pounced several times in a row, seeing Cheng Lie's figure getting farther and farther away from her, but she couldn't catch up, and couldn't help but sit on the ground in frustration and shed tears.

But what's the use of shedding tears?

She cried for a while, got up and chased after him, but it was the same, she couldn't touch him at all.

The second half of the night probably spent the middle of the night chasing her, like a dead loop, obviously the man she loved the most was just a stone's throw away, but she couldn't touch the corner of his clothes.

But she was not discouraged, and kept chasing until an overly strong light stung her eyes—and Cheng Lie's figure disappeared into the white light.

Then she woke up.

When she woke up, she lay in bed for a moment, and a moment later, the phone alarm on the bedside table rang.

Tang Xiao sat up from the bed and reached out to press the alarm. Then I got up and dressed and washed up in a regular manner, and went to the nursing home cafeteria for breakfast fifteen minutes later.

A new day begins.

This day was another day when there was no news of success.

It was also a day when I couldn't see Cheng Lie, and I couldn't communicate with Cheng Lie in any words.

The only consolation is that when Tang Xiao arrived at the cafeteria today, it was still relatively early, so the prettier egg yolk crisps and sock bottom cakes in the canteen were not sold out.

Tang Xiao made himself a bowl of pumpkin porridge, a glass of banana milk, a braised egg, and two egg yolk crisps plus a sock bottom cake.

Egg yolk crisp and sock bottom cake are not considered northern food, there was no canteen in the sanatorium before, and recently the canteen came to a master from his hometown in Suzhou and Hangzhou, so the canteen has recently added a lot of delicate and good-sounding pastries and the like.

Unexpectedly, these cakes that southerners like to eat have also become popular in sanatoriums where northerners are the majority.

As far as Tang Xiao knew, even Yan Ling, the most sleepy person, was basically a person who made a cup of milk and ate a piece of bread after getting up to make do with breakfast, and set an alarm clock for himself in order to eat these exquisite cakes.

Tang Xiao sat in the corner by the window and slowly enjoyed this hearty breakfast, although in her heart, what she wanted to eat more was the sun eggs and sandwiches that Cheng Lie made for her.

Forget it, I don't want him for the time being.

Tang Xiao shook his head slightly, wanting to temporarily remove the word Cheng Lie from his head.

If she thinks about it, she's going to go crazy.

Tang Xiao picked up a piece of egg yolk crisp and took a bite, and immediately felt that his taste buds were surrounded by a strong egg yolk flavor.

It's so delicious.

Tang Xiao deeply felt that this southern master was simply the light of the canteen of the nursing home.

Just squinting and indulging in this rare delicacy, the light in front of Tang Xiao's eyes dimmed, as if someone had suddenly arrived.

"I'm sorry, can I sit here?"

A young man's voice came.

Tang Xiaoshu opened his eyes, thinking embarrassedly, he didn't know if his greedy cat appearance just now had been seen by others.

If you see it, it's really embarrassing.

When I looked up, I saw the boy standing in the backlight.

He was tall and thin, and his slender and powerful fingers held a stainless steel dinner plate, which contained almost exactly the same food as Tang Xiao.

Slightly bowing his head, his quiet eyes stared at Tang Xiao.

Maybe it's because he can't hear, so when he looks at people, he is extra serious, for fear of missing any small lip movements of the other party.

"Ah...... Of course. ”

Tang Xiao smiled at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen also smiled lightly, and then sat down in front of Tang Xiao.

"Thank you. ”

He said politely.

"No thanks......"

Tang Xiao muttered in his heart, this son is not hers, what is there to thank for.

Probably because Ye Chen, who is a descendant of a general, has been particularly strict since he was a child.

Ye Chen glanced at the food on Tang Xiao's plate, revealing a slightly surprised expression.

Not only was he surprised, but Tang Xiao himself was surprised.

The food in the canteen of the nursing home is abundant enough to open a cafeteria, and it is not less than a hundred per person.

With so many kinds of food, how can the two people take several foods exactly coincide?

"You like egg yolk crisp too, right?"

Tang Xiao broke the silence and took the initiative to ask.

"Hmm. Ye Chen nodded.

"Well, you like to eat sock soles too?"

Tang Xiao didn't have anything to say, so he had to ask again.

"Well, my grandma used to do it for me. ”

This time, Ye Chen's words were a little more.

"Yes, it seems that your grandmother is from Suzhou and Hangzhou, right?"

Tang Xiao was glad that the two of them could finally continue the conversation.

He asked while blowing on the pumpkin porridge in the bowl.

Ye Chen's eyes stared at Tang Xiao intently.

That look was too serious, although he knew that this was the other party's need to read lips, but Tang Xiao still occasionally felt a little uncomfortable under the gaze of this young man.

Ye Chen seemed to think for a moment.

Tang Xiao originally thought that such a question needed to be considered for a long time, just talk about it casually, and soon she realized that the reason why Ye Chen was like this was probably because he was patronizing himself just now and bowed his head to blow pumpkin porridge, and the movement of his lips made Ye Chen not see very clearly.

Suddenly feeling sorry in his heart, Tang Xiao hurriedly raised his head to look at Ye Chen, and said as slowly as he could: "Ye Chen, your grandmother is from Suzhou and Hangzhou, right?"

Ye Chen's clear eyes stared at Tang Xiao, there seemed to be some emotion in his eyes, but there seemed to be nothing, just the sunlight penetrating into his eyes.

"Yes, my grandmother is a native of Hangzhou, she likes sweets very much, and she used to cook for me when she was still strong. ”

Probably talking about his grandmother, Ye Chen's words became a little more, and his voice became very soft and warm.

Tang Xiao heard Ye Chen say "when his body was still strong before", he chuckled in his heart, guessing that Ye Chen's grandmother may be in poor health now, or even gone, so he slowed down his speech and said with a slight smile: "Then your grandma must also like to eat Dongpo meat, sweet and sour pork ribs, and sweet and sour fish." Isn't that right?"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and his gaze became more gentle.

"yes, yes. ”

The young man's voice is very clean and good, although he is deaf, Ye Chen's pronunciation is still very standard, without the slightest weirdness.

"Do you like to eat too?"

Tang asked with a smile.

In order to allow Ye Chen to see her clearly, she deliberately stopped eating while she was talking, and spoke to him in a straight voice.

Ye Chen was a sensitive person, and he quickly realized this.

Gently bending the corners of his mouth, Ye Chen said softly: "Well, I like it too." My dad didn't like it, and I was the only one in the family who loved those sweet foods. ”

"Want to eat? I mean now. ”

Tang Xiao asked him.

"Huh?"

Ye Chen was stunned.

"I mean, if you want to eat it, I can make it for you. ”

Tang Xiao blinked, a little playful.

"Really?"

Ye Chen couldn't believe his eyes for a moment.
