Chapter 8 Adopt the customs of the locals
She felt that if he used any more force, her wrist would snap like those fragile skeletons.
Seeing that Gu Lian was silent, Wei Xuan's eyes rolled, he flatteringly grabbed her wrist, exhaled and blew on her reddened circle, and said softly: "Sister Gu, don't be angry, okay? I'll blow and blow for you, whatever you say, I can beat me and scold me, just don't be angry with me and ignore me, okay?"
Gu Lian's eyes were on him, his obsidian eyes narrowed flatteringly like a catboy, his lips were red and his teeth were white and he smiled.
Such a Zhengtai apologized coquettishly in such a tone, even if she was still cold in her heart, how could she blame her heart? Pulling the corners of her mouth, she symbolically touched his hair, and said indifferently: "It's okay, it's me who is wrong." Get up, and go to eat. ”
Wei Xuan stood up obediently, but after she got up, he grabbed the corner of her clothes and looked at her timidly: "Sister is really not angry?"
Gu Lian stared at him.
His clear eyes are apprehensive, and his milky white skin is soft and flawless, as if he is a child who depends on his family, coquettishly begging for a forgotten birthday present.
In fact, he really didn't do anything, if he really wanted to talk about it, he just pinched her wrist. Under the fence, people give some face, does she really think she is an aunt?
With a long sigh in her heart, and thinking of his quiet thoughtfulness, she put away her thoughts, nodded solemnly, and said, "Don't be angry." ”
Wei Xuan smiled as if relieved, smiled, and pulled her to the table.
In this era, maybe this is a normal child. Daiyu entered Jiafu at the age of seven and was cautious, Baoyu tried Yunyu for the first time at the age of eleven or twelve, and lived in the last days, she should have known that this child must have his own merits, so that he could be valued by Chen Zhibai Hengyuan and others.
The four of them were already sitting at the dining table, and Wei Xuan let go of his hand when he was two steps away from them, and sat down between Chen Zhi and Zheng Yihao a few times. There was a lot of space among several people, Gu Lian's footsteps were paused, and her eyes were hesitant.
Fan Ziling smiled maliciously: "Come and sit down." ”
Gu Lian couldn't help but glance at him, and he laughed more and more. She moved between Bai Hengyuan and Chen Zhi, sat upright, looked at Fan Ziling generously, ignored his surprise, and said with a smile: "What's for breakfast?"
If you are not qualified to be hypocritical, then you are not hypocritical.
Bai Hengyuan smiled silently, and a few brisk flashes in his eyes: "Meat porridge, the food has been better in recent days, and there is meat to eat at noon." ”
Tut-tut, this sounds really sad for her, the ancestor of the 21st century. Gu Lian curled the corners of her lips in bitter amusement, and echoed: "Minced meat is also meat. ”
"I forgot that you came from the era of good food and drink. Bai Hengyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled with white teeth.
Gu Lian shrugged her shoulders and sighed, "I really want you to go to the twenty-first century to have a look." After a pause, "But after coming here for a few days, I have become a little bit of a local, and it is really not easy to see meat." ”
"It's best to be able to do as the locals do. Bai Hengyuan's eyes were clear and bright, and he smiled.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Several people at the dinner table watched them come and go, and they were not silent, talking to each other. Gu Lian expressed her attitude in a few words, and she clarified the relationship with Bai Hengyuan, feeling very satisfied. Bai Heng saw that she was generous and smart, had a good attitude, and smiled happily.
After the meal, Gu Lian helped Bai Hengyuan wash the dishes together, water resources are precious, first take the stored water and filter it again, and then put it in clean water to soak, it is said that this is at least four-star treatment.
Gu Lian could only accept her fate. The car had already moved, and she saw that several people had not discussed the itinerary, and knew that they had already made up their minds. She asked a question she had always wanted to ask: "Isn't it dangerous for you to wander around? You said that you have left the base, although I don't know what kind of group and unit the base is, but it is really necessary to wander in the so-called 'high-risk area' alone? Or do you have a clear purpose?"
If you want to integrate into a society, you need to understand how the society distributes wealth, in short, it is a career.
Bai Hengyuan glanced at her, with a clear understanding in his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, we are out of the management of the base, but we have not broken off the relationship with the base." Although the danger level of the high-risk area is high, there are many opportunities, and we can't stand the constraints, so we simply took over the task of the base, while traveling around the place, collecting material information, while drawing a map of foreign body infestment, and by the way, we can also eliminate more foreign objects. ”
I see...... Gu Lian was thoughtful. Drawing maps, gathering information, and destroying the enemy is probably what it means in war. It is said that in ancient times, only emperors had territory maps, and now in this last world, there are dangers everywhere, and if you can get the latest map that marks the information of the skeleton group, the base must be willing to pay a lot of money. The people dancing on the tip of the knife are all capable people, and from this point of view, presumably the five of them must have top-notch strength.
She thought about it for a moment, and then asked, "Are there more people in the base, are there more permanent people or more people like you who have various tasks?"
She felt like she had vaguely grasped the shape of the base. Listening to him, they do a lot like a high-end profession - mercenaries. This is interesting, and the mercenary profession can be regarded as a relatively orderly force in the context of the collapse of the social system. If so, she might be able to see what she can do...... But the most important thing is to find a way to get rid of the oath that Chen Zhi grabbed in his hand. Whether or not that thing is there is a world of difference to her. has the ability to let Sun Wukong not go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures with a tight spell, and he will run back to Huaguo Mountain without even a few opportunities for master and apprentice to cultivate feelings. For her, this oath is a deed of sale, and the deed of sale is in the hands of others, and she is helpless if people want to beat or punish her.
It's just that...... Well, how easy is that? She wondered if she asked Xiao Zhengtai one day, and he might be able to tell him how to interpret the oath.
She was thinking nonsense here, waiting for a long time, but she didn't see Bai Hengyuan replying, turning around, Bai Hengyuan's eyes quietly moved away from her hands, and lowered her head to wash the dishes.
…… Alas, Gu Lian blinked, could he mean ...... She talks too much, let her hurry up and work? Mother, don't you want to be so inhumane!
Bai Hengyuan lowered his eyes, but there were still a pair of white and tender little hands in front of her, her hands looked like they had never done housework, they were not tender, but they were frozen in the water for a while, and they were already shivering and red and swollen.
This girl is powerless, except for solving the needs, she has no effect, and she always has to be sent away by them. Therefore, he didn't want her to have any illusions and expectations for them. They are not living bodhisattvas who save the suffering, they will save the individual when they see them, and there is no end to it! Therefore, he has long made up his mind to measure the distance, to be intimate when he should be intimate, and to distinguish clearly when he should be clear -- this is a kind of realistic gentleness.
It's just that, although he has made up his mind, he still feels ...... Don't ask her to wash the dishes next time.
