Chapter 131: A Funeral
Gu Lian packed her luggage.
Actually, there's nothing to clean up.
When she came, she came poor, and when she left, she didn't seem to be much richer.
A pile of clothes and cosmetics, two books, two packets of candy, a hairpin that had been placed next to the pillow at some point, a bloodstained revolver, a wooden plaque from Yu Qing, a gold card, a memo, and some leftover gold and blue coins.
In just a few days after the chaos, the blue coin recovered from the collapse, the price level returned to the original level, and the rice and grain speculators became the worst receivers, and the materials were either robbed or rotten in their hands and had nowhere to sell. Since the people of Hongyan Base and Territory Base jointly issued a statement, no one believed that they would die, so the storage of food was no longer popular, and the order of life returned to normal.
People eat in the cafeteria, talk about the strength of blue coins against gold coins in the past few days; people go to Internet cafes to talk nonsense, small news everywhere is spread around, the latest news is that the map cannon was hung up in the war, and the death is miserable, as a result, people jumped out in a few days, obviously they were angry to death, a mouthful of iron teeth and copper teeth grabbed people and bited, and they did not let go, the poisonous juice splashed everywhere and the fire was full of firepower, and people sighed to themselves that they avoided its edge;
People were teasing the beautiful girls in the Garden of Eden, some familiar ones were dead, some strange ones were appearing, people were walking, people were moving, people were living, only the blood on the walls that had not yet had time to be wiped off showed what kind of bloody storm had happened here, but no one stopped again.
On the eve of parting, a party was held at the base.
Unlike the high-level gathering, which was heavy in casualties, the party was held in a hollow in the middle of the base, and people could watch it on several floors, and there was also a broadcast, and the hound-like actions of the tireless and sensitive intelligence dealers made things into a flower and scattered them everywhere.
On that day, the lights at the bottom were turned out, and the lights on the floor were dimly lit.
The flames burned, and corpses were thrown into the campfire, people's faces lit up and darkened by the flames.
Someone let out a short low sob.
More watched in silence.
The background music is "AmazingGrace", Amazing Grace. The notes flowed quietly, as if softer and sadder under the touch of the bright flame.
Yu Qing stood at the forefront, with a high ponytail, standing straight, pursing her angular lips, watching quietly, tears flashing in her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, but her hand was firmly pressed on the side of her waist where the pistol was placed. Next to her stood the son-in-law Yu Hang and the polite Jiang Ran, perhaps because of the atmosphere, the people who jumped out looked calm, and the mature people looked sad.
May the dead be in peace.
May the living be strong.
"This is asters. ”
As another corpse was thrown into the flames, a voice rang out beside him. The white jade fat man looked unusually low at this time, his black eyes were illuminated by the firelight, and his pitch-black eyelashes were ****.
Gu Lian's jaw tightened slightly when she heard this, and she didn't speak.
At the end of the show, some people left, but most of them stopped and stared at the fire for some reason. Gu Lian finally found Liu Liu, who was leaning against the pillar with her arms crossed.
"What will happen to you in the future?" asked Gu Lian. The big owner has fallen, and the fourth building is the direct fangs of the Su family, I don't know what will happen.
"Feed yourself, feed your mother, and repay your grandmother. Liu Liu was still looking at the burning flames, and replied lightly.
People are dead, people are alive, the dead are gone, and the living need to live.
The two girls held each other's hands, and found that each other's fingers were so cold, and they couldn't help but clench their hands more and more.
"Help me get these two books to Ari...... If only he calmed down. Gu Lian handed over "The Little Prince" and "Animal Farm" to her, and smiled, "It's a farewell gift." ”
"Uncle Wang is there. Liu Liu raised her chin and nodded at the person in the wheelchair in the distance. Behind him were still the same group of people, old, weak, sick and disabled, shrunk into a collective, out of place with the people around him, attracting people to look at him.
"Why don't you follow them?" Gu Lian asked.
"I still need to think about it. The willow eyes drooped, her beautiful face was like the scenery in the painting, and her slender neck seemed to never know how to bend down.
The incident of Ah Rui's madness in the Jade Mansion gave her a wake-up call, and she was shocked to realize that the people she knew were not really so familiar, and the warmth she had thought was not all warm. Are other children also carrying the burdens that Ari has carried since he was a child? Does Grandma Quan know? Does Mom know? Those aunts and uncles with warm smiles, do they know? Do Ari's playmates know?
What she sees is true and what is false?
Does she have the courage to face the truth behind the unraveling of warmth?
She needs to think about it.
Gu Lian smiled: "Me too." ”
The two couldn't help but look at each other and smile, everything was silent, and Liu Liu silently took the book.
Gu Lian suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd. Lu Ke stared at Uncle Wang and their team for a while, smiling in front of people and eloquent young people, but at this time they were as silent as a stone carving. As if sensing her gaze, he looked up and cast a sharp gaze, and when the eyes of the two collided, he was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, and then nodded stiffly at her. Gu Lian nodded back, then saw him turn his head, and finally glanced at Uncle Wang's direction, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
Some things may not be in a hurry, but there will always be when they should be, and people will always try to approach each other.
"Will you ever come back?" asked Liu Liu, softly.
"I don't know. Gu Lian came back to her senses, shook her head and replied honestly.
With this departure, she may be stationed in a base, or she may die in an unknown corner, or she may leave this dangerous time and space.
She knew in her heart that the chances of returning here were slim.
"Stupid!" Liu Liu, who was still immersed in inexplicable sadness, twitched the corners of her mouth when she heard this, scolded lightly, her beautiful eyes slanted, and she glared at her, "At this time, I don't know what to say." ”
Gu Lian blinked her eyes, blinked away the water vapor, held her hand and smiled, "You're going to miss me, right?"
"......" Liu Liu rolled her eyes widely, "Boring!"
"You're going to miss me, right?" Gu Lian asked indefatigably.
“……”
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll miss you, so you miss me too, okay?" Gu Lian shook her hand, her eyes firmly fixed on Liu Liu's face, and she swore not to give up.
“…… Okay, okay! I know, yes, yes, yes?!" Liu Liu was finally forced to collapse by her, and shouted with her eyes closed, I don't know if it was because of shame or annoyance, and the blush slowly appeared under her skin.
Why can Gu Lian, a stupid person, always say such embarrassing things? What do you want to do, this kind of thing...... Who would say it in a normal person!!
Gu Lian sighed with satisfaction, squinted and smiled, "I knew you would miss me." ”
"......" Liu Liu's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and stared at her fiercely for a long time, thinking if she should be a natural black, right?
They talked for a while, and seeing Fan Ziling waving at her, Gu Lian knew that it was time to leave.
"Don't send me tomorrow. ”
Liu Liu was silent for a while: "If you don't say it, I won't go." ”
Gu Lian grinned: "That's good." ”
"We've made an appointment, you have to remember me. Gu Lian walked away a few steps, and suddenly turned around and hugged Liu Liu, and whispered in her ear.
Liu Liu closed her eyes, mumbled, leaned on her shoulder and said, "I know." ”
Liu Liu didn't see it, and a faint light flashed in front of her forehead. Gu Lian touched her head and smiled contentedly.
Slowly walking towards Fan Ziling, the girl had a wonderful smile on her face, and her eyes drifted somewhere.
Has she become abnormal too......
Since that day, she felt an empty piece of her heart, and if she didn't ask for some reassurance over and over again, she would feel extremely uneasy and empty.
Want to be remembered.
Want to be recognized.
I want to be treated specially.
I want to prove my existence.
She whispered, "...... Is that how you've always felt?"
"What's wrong?" asked Fan Ziling, who was only a few steps away, with a smile.
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'm a little reluctant. Gu Lian shook her head and said with a smile.
Fan Ziling raised his eyebrows, looked at her for a while, a sigh escaped from his lips, and suddenly stretched out his big palm and pressed the top of Gu Lian's head hard. Gu Lian looked at him with her head covered in surprise, but he smiled and said, "Let's go, you said that you wanted to see Sister Qing, she is a busy person now, what a lot of face she is willing to see you at this time, don't let her wait." ”
"Huh, what?" Gu Lian stared at his back with a stiff expression.
Is there a button on her head or something?

She wanted to tell the world out loud that her brain hurts! (To be continued.) )
