100 Forever Peach Blossom Spring

Previous Chapter

Facts have proved that Du Yunfei's judgment is very correct.

After a night of adjustment, everyone's mood and life gradually returned to calm.

The ships of the mirage are heading towards the hot tropics, and the most important thing on Foguang Island is how to survive the next cold winter.

The super large cotton, which had been dried for several days, was collected one by one. The six big and one small seven people mobilized to peel and collect the seeds inside the cotton peach, and then tear the huge cotton peach little by little, and spread it into wisps of cotton wool by hand.

It may not sound like a difficult task, but the actual execution is not as simple as it seems.

After half an hour, the sweaty crowd understood why there was such an ancient job as "playing cotton" in the past. They were busy for two days and one night, and finally pulled all the cotton into fairly even cotton strands, Su He's arm was so sore that he couldn't lift it, and Du Yunfei helped massage it for a few days before slowly recovering.

Cotton is good, but how should it be used? Sewing futon is of course the first option.

Everyone came to Foguang Island in early April. The weather was warm, and there were no heavy quilts in the materials collected or in the construction shedsβ€”which were exactly what was needed to survive the winter.

And then there's what you're wearing. Everyone's warm clothes and pants are seriously insufficient, and taking advantage of this bumper cotton harvest, they must also sew a few military coats and other cold-proof equipment.

After doing these two necessities, if you still have cotton to spare, you can see if you need to add items that will make your life more comfortable, such as pillows and cushions.

You can't just say it, you have to do it.

So Duan Whale received the most difficult job in the past six months - making a batch of large sewing needles.

The welding torch and the thin wire used for the pin blank were readily available, and the challenge was to poke the right size of the needle hole at the red-hot end with thick gloves.

This is really a delicate job that can't tolerate the slightest hand trembling, he and Lin Youqing studied for a whole morning, and barely handed over four decent finished products.

At the same time, others were not idle.

There were not many ready-made cotton threads in the villa, so Duan Xingze supplied the cotton wool, and Su He and Lu Rulan slowly turned the spindle made of cuttlefish bones to knead the cotton wool into thin threads little by little.

The remaining Haichen and Du Yunfei were responsible for weighing cotton. The carded batting was divided into piles of different sizes. The heavier ones are made into quilts, and the lighter ones are used as mattresses.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, all the preparations were ready, and the table in the living room was temporarily taken out. A tarp was laid on the floor, and six adults knelt facing each other in pairs, with their unformed quilt in the middle.

None of us had any experience in making quilts, so we had to rely on our imagination and discuss things.

This time, the large amount of tablecloths stocked in the basement of the villa all came in handy. They are laid flat on the ground, pieced together about the size of a quilt. Then, about ten pounds of cotton wool was pressed onto the tablecloth layer by layer.

When all the cotton wool has been evenly laid and flattened, another tablecloth is covered. The edges of the upper and lower layers of the tablecloth were sewn together, and the cotton at the four corners was tightly tied.

Immediately afterwards, the two men collaborated with each other, wearing cotton thread with large needles and sewing thick stitches crisscrossing the tablecloth.

In this way, the whole formed quilt is divided into 12 vertical and horizontal squares, and the cotton wool is also fixed with the tablecloth, avoiding the possibility of running cotton.

There are fast and slow, and the three handmade cotton quilts have been completed one after another.

When it was time to appreciate the finished products with each other, the quilts of Lu Rulan and Haichen were sewn into an exaggerated trapezoidal shape; Duan Whale and Youqing's quilts were sewn for Duan Xingze, and the shape was good, but unfortunately the thickness was uneven; Su He and Du Yunfei's finished product is actually the most perfect, especially the stitch, which is from Du Yunfei's hand at a glance.

Everyone evaluated their respective advantages and disadvantages, and immediately invested in the next round of intense manufacturing.

The result of a busy afternoon and an evening was that five quilts and four mattresses were baked one after another. Since the weather was not yet cold enough, the sewn finished product was temporarily put away.

With the experience of sewing quilts, the next day they began to take on a higher challenge - making cotton clothes.

Tailoring, logically, should be a work related to beauty, close to artistic creation. But in the eyes of the Villa Six, it's more like the development of some kind of new and exotic product.

After research and discussion, it was agreed that the cotton clothes they were about to make should be divided into two layers. The outer layer is a ready-made raincoat that protects against wind and rain and also prevents heat loss. The most critical technical core is how the inner tank should be sewn.

Unlike flat quilts, modern clothes require three-dimensional tailoring. It's not something you can figure out just by looking at it. Fortunately, this problem is not difficult for these clever people.

The solution was quickly figured out - they turned the raincoat over, covered the surface with two layers of light and dense chiffon gauze (the fabric was still from the batch of women's clothes that Haichen brought back that year), and then cut the gauze according to the size of the garment, sandwiched cotton wool in the middle, and sewed it. These "pads" are then glued to the inside of the raincoat with double-sided tape.

"It feels good."

Su He wore a finished cotton coat and shook around in place, and before he could say a few more boastful words, a piece of "cotton pad" on his back fell down.

"Uh...... Maybe we need to make some small improvements. ”

After several small "process improvements", as he says, the quality of the simple padded garment was finally stabilized. With the coldest season yet to come, they slowed down the production of this "new equipment" and "developed" other interesting gadgets with a fun-seeking mentality.

Lin Youqing and Duan Whale built a small carpentry studio in the basement. These days, a wooden shelf in the shape of a bench has been erected. Su He planted a mutated palm tree in the field, and he and Du Yunfei tied up the cut brown silk, stuffed it into the backrest and seat box of the wooden chair, and then stretched a tablecloth on the surface.

Flexible and elastic brown silk immediately outlines the shape of a simple sofa. Put a few more cushions that Lu Rulan sewed with cotton. From then on, they no longer had to sit on the cold ground and watch movies.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

On 25 October, the good news of the safe arrival of the mirage ship in the South China Sea came over the radio. Within a few days after that, Foguang Island ushered in the first big cooling in early winter.

Almost overnight, the sun's rays stopped shining and the winter's signature haze filled the forest. The birds are silent, the leaves are silent, and even the waves in the distance seem to be frozen.

Under Du Yunfei's advice, everyone, especially Su Hequan, changed into warmer clothes, and even when indoors, they had to wear socks or cotton slippers. The bedding was thickened, and the windows were covered with curtains made of tablecloths.

In order to further isolate the cold air and ensure that the indoor heat is not lost, plastic curtains have been installed at the entrance, living room and dining room.

Of course, this does not mean that from they can stay at home, cats all winter. In fact, they still have a lot to do.

The cold air moving south caused winds to increase and daylight was noticeably insufficient. In order to protect the wind turbines and avoid flying car accidents, the park may have to cut off power again in the past few days, and Duan Jing and Lin Youqing must also pay close attention to the situation of the power station.

During the cooling period, strong winds blow on the surface of the sea and the water temperature is no longer suitable for diving. Haichen and Lu Rulan will gradually start to carry out the annual major maintenance of several ships. When it snows, hide them together in the Poseidon Cave.

As for Su He and Du Yunfei, they have more things to do.

Now that the vegetables in the greenhouse have been harvested, it is now necessary to turn the soil and sow a small amount of vegetables adapted to the winter climate. In addition, although the temperature is not ridiculously low, some of the rare trees in the park also need to be insulated.

Of course, we can't forget the rainforest greenhouse, where many plants need to be taken care of in winter. Su He also plans to take advantage of the long winter to conduct a survey of the various plants in the park.

"It's so warm in the greenhouse, why don't we move our home there?" Once at dinner, Lu Rulan asked.

"Don't cook in the greenhouse." Su Yi said, "Also, even if there are insects there in winter, you can do it yourself." ”

"It's better not to do that." Du Yunfei gave a serious explanation, "Living in an excessively humid and hot environment for a long time is not good for the body, especially the joints of the limbs. ”

Although the proposal to move to live was rejected, the quality of life after the winter still depends on the selfless gift of the greenhouse.

In November, some of the evergreen tropical plants are still bearing fruit. The late-ripening custard apples are all soft, and the lucumina with a soft texture is gradually entering the harvest season. These fruits, along with outdoor dates, apples and citrus fruits, are the last bright touches of the monotonous winter day.

Of course, as the temperature drops further, even the greenhouse slowly becomes quieter.

In mid-November, after the most important task at hand, everyone finally turned their attention to land again.

After several typhoons and mutated plants in the summer, most of the high-rise buildings in the city have become dilapidated buildings. All kinds of materials are badly damaged, and there is no longer any need to risk sending drones to sweep the goods.

"Maybe from now on, we'll never have to deal with these guys again."

Looking at the zombies and Dian Bai in the drone picture, Su He sighed: "It's really strange, when I said this, I actually felt quite melancholy." ”

"Anyway, the bridge has collapsed, and it can't do anything to us," Haichen suggested, "Why don't we leave some souvenirs for it?" ”

Large water bags filled with icy sea water were dropped from the sky, and huge splashes were exploded. Looking at the blood-red leaves trembling and curling up, everyone didn't have the strong excitement that they used to have.

Lin Youqing sighed a little: "Can you imagine? It was actually a person. If there is wisdom, will there also be human consciousness remaining? ”

Su He patted him on the shoulder: "I guess there should be none." Alas, don't think about it, how can you become more and more like Lao Duan, Lao Ai is asking for trouble. ”

Striking Dianbai with seawater can only be regarded as a small entertainment project, and will not have any fundamental effect. Leaving the burden of exterminating zombies and saving the world to the regular army of the future, they now have something more practical to do - that is, to observe the "animal world".

It doesn't take a deliberate count to find that in the past six months, the number of animals roaming the city has been exponentially expanding.

In terms of pets, there are not many dogs, but cats are everywhere. Surprisingly, there are also quite a few rabbits.

In addition to this, there are a variety of domestic animals that have managed to escape from suburban farms.

Chickens and ducks feed on small ponds formed by the water on the road, and pigs, although not as fat as those raised in captivity, do not have to worry about being slaughtered. There are also cows, cattle, buffaloes, and newborn calves, pacing leisurely through the streets with their mothers.

The zombies are clearly not interested in these animals, and the thriving urban jungle provides an abundant source of food. Perhaps the biggest beneficiary of this end time is these herbivores and omnivores.

In a large field of barren grassland near the sea, the drone once again captured the tracks of the previous herd of sheep.

After not seeing each other for more than a month, the flock has actually added a lot of new members. The tender little lamb follows the ewe and grazes leisurely. This warm scene made everyone on the other side of the monitor leave a moving saliva.

A batch of carrots harvested some time ago went into battle heroically. The drone tied them with a fishing line and began a fantastic journey of "sheep fishing".

It turns out to be a lot more complicated than seducing zombies. The speed is too fast for the sheep to keep up; The speed is too slow, and the carrot is repeatedly sacrificed. After more than a dozen attempts, they finally managed to catch three sturdy adult rams and returned with a full load.

With no additional forage reserves and animal husbandry experience, and no one willing to make a difference, the three sheep that were caught were quickly slaughtered. The mutton is processed and put into the cold storage for refrigeration, a sheep out of 35 to 45 catties, three mutton total weight of 130 catties, plus the seafood and remaining meat stored before, is enough for everyone's calorie supply throughout the winter.

Of course, the sheepskin has not been spared, although the long fur jacket has a little style of old farmers in northern Shaanxi, but it is not ambiguous at all in terms of cold protection.

On the afternoon of November 15, Zhu Yixin sent an alarm about the cold wave cooling down.

That night, the temperature dropped below zero degrees Celsius. The grass beside the road was covered with frost. Outside the window, the northwest wind was blowing tightly, and the window clanged.

At seven o'clock the next morning, it was still dark, but it suddenly became quiet outside.

Su He turned over in the warm and heavy quilt, but did not hold the warm and sturdy pillow man. He grunted disgruntled in his throat and slowly opened his eyes.

In the warm bed tent, he was the only one left. The coat on the quilt seems to have just been covered, and the position is impartial, as strict as a surgical towel.

Su He turned his gaze not far from the bed and found Du Yunfei.

The man was standing by the window, lifting the middle slit of the curtain and looking out.

When the discomfort of low blood sugar gradually subsided, Su He also got up and walked over, reached out to hug Du Yunfei from behind, stood on tiptoe slightly, and rested his head on his broad shoulders.

"Awake?" Du Yunfei covered the back of his hand with one hand, "It's snowing outside." ”

Only then did Su He realize that the world outside the window was already silver.

The woods and gardens, which grow bleak with the changing seasons, are all wrapped in snow. Everything is mellow and lovely, like a big piece of cream cake that is slowly melting.

"It's snowing so much."

As he spoke, he reached out and wiped the condensation from the window, then drew a heart with his finger.

In the next second, his fingertips were clenched in Du Yunfei's palm.

"Get dressed and don't catch a cold."

Some time ago, the winter coat "R&D" finally came in handy. After breakfast, everyone dressed up and took tools out to remove the snow.

Unsurprisingly, this serious job quickly turned into a childish farce. Even the eldest Duan Whale, or the most calm Du Yunfei, is no different in essence from the eight-year-old Duan Xingze at this time. Snowballs fluttering in mid-air are the most vivid sight in the dreary winter day.

And in the winter when there is no snow, life is destined to become more quiet and serene.

Snow removal, water and electricity are taken care of – outdoor work has been reduced to a third of what it is in the summer, and the focus of everyone's lives has been reduced to the villa.

Duan Jing dismantled several idle quartz heating equipment in the greenhouse and placed them in the living room and bathroom, and the sofa and cotton blanket also added a little warmth to the room.

On the south side of the second floor, Suhe has opened a plant conservatory for seedling cultivation and soilless cultivation. Du Yunfei began to take stock of the remaining medicines, and gradually carried out a physical examination of all employees in winter.

Lu Rulan followed Lin Youqing to repair some replaced machinery and equipment. Haichen is responsible for operating drones and making daily patrols over the gray-and-white island.

Snow after snow, the ice on the surface of the artificial lake froze and melted. In the midst of iteration, only time keeps moving forward.

On the day of the winter solstice on the twenty-third day of November, everyone set up a sacrificial table at the door of the villa. Put a blank tablet without a name on the table, put some melons and fruits in front of the tablet, and then everyone worship one by one, and each insert three homemade incense sticks.

There was no talk, no lamentation or even low sobbing. Only on the radio in the house, there were bursts of Sanskrit singing on Luojia Island, lonely and solemn.

In December, the atmosphere of New Year's Eve gradually thickens in the long winter night. The Christians on the radio waves have just finished celebrating their Christmas; Soon, New Year's Day, which belongs to the whole world, is just around the corner.

On the morning of December 31, Duan Whale prepared a final exam for his son. The exams range from literacy to arithmetic to physical fitness, and even botany and self-defense.

Overall, Duan Xingze's performance was very good, and after the collective deliberation of the six examiners, it was decided to give him a winter vacation from today.

In the afternoon, everyone went to Zhu Yixin to proofread the Beijing time on their mobile phones, but they unexpectedly heard a good news that made people feel excited-

The Qinghai Research Institute announced the existence of Hu Siyu.

This clearly sends a strong signal. Some people believe that this means that the institute has quite confidence in overcoming the problem of the zombie virus. There is even gossip circulating that Dian Bai has been completely killed near the Qinghai resettlement site, and for some reason the zombies who have lost their ability to adapt are also being cleaned up on a large scale.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Perhaps the day of the reconstruction of human society is really not far away. ”

Ending the call with Zhu Yixin, Duan Whale let out such an exclamation.

For a long time after that, no one spoke. Everyone invariably recalled the dizziness they felt when facing the two-hundred-man ship.

After finally adapting to the seclusion of the last days, it seems that everything will take a turn for the better - where should we go from here?

It was still Lu Rulan's straightforward heart: "To be honest, in fact, I think it's pretty good to stay on the island all the time." ”

"Little fool, that's because there is still water, electricity, and all kinds of property left to us by modern technology." Su Hedao broke the truth, "In fact, we have never really lived on an island, society has always been around us, and it has never gone away." ”

"Leave it to fate." Haichen still thought about it, "Anyway, no one wants to separate me from Xiaolan again." ”

"So do we." Duan Whale put his arm around Lin Youqing, and the two of them turned around to find Duan Xingze.

Su He looked at Du Yunfei, but Du Yunfei didn't speak. The two of them looked at each other quietly for a while, and Du Yunfei suddenly stretched out his hand and gently twisted Su He's lips.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

After New Year's Day, the last and most important festival of winter is just around the corner.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the villa began to be cleaned.

Disinfectant water made from electrolyzed saline; Saponaria sinensis and soapberry extracts; Suhe's secret grease soap; There is even a thoroughfare made from baking soda, grapefruit peel, and wine by-products...... The smell of detergents fills the room. The brushes made of bamboo silk echo the sound of the scrubbing of the old loofah.

Everyone is meticulous in carrying out their own tasks. In the past year, all the gray traces left around us are washed away, and a new beginning is welcomed.

After the external cleaning is done, the next thing to do is to clean up the personal hygiene.

At the beginning of the cooling, Haichen made a small renovation of the bathroom for Lu Rulan, who was most afraid of the cold, and built a cement bathtub in the innermost compartment. Anyway, being idle is idle, and Su He, who likes to enjoy, spread a layer of polished cypress planks into the bathtub.

Nowadays, the weather is cold, and everyone likes to lie down and take a bath. One can invigorate the blood and relieve fatigue and refresh the mind. Second, if you soak your body and then go to bed, you can automatically get the opportunity for some people to give you a hug.

The last snow of the Year of the Dragon fell silently on this night. Early the next morning, it was white again. Without the freshness of the past, after doing routine inspections and snow removal work, everyone gradually gathered in the living room.

In a certain official radio frequency, the recording of the Spring Festival Gala of the past years was actually played today. The show that was complained about in the past actually sounds kind and cute at the moment.

The ingredients in the freezer have been taken out early this morning to thaw, and Duan Whale is in charge of cleaning everything. Lin Youqing taught Duan Xingze to make egg dumplings on the small briquette stove in the canteen, carefully shaking the iron rice spoon, putting the meat filling, and picking up the egg skin.

Haichen and Lu Rulan, who had just finished breaking the ice for the artificial lake, caught a few fish. At this moment, it has been dissected and cleaned, cut and laid flat on the cutting board. I saw Du Yunfei standing on the edge of the board, taking a long-bladed kitchen knife and quickly scraping it on the fish. It was so fast that it was almost impossible to see the movement, and the piles of fish paste were scraped into the large bowl on the side.

Suhe, who was waiting on the side, mixed the pre-prepared egg flour with the minced fish and stirred vigorously, then kneaded into a ball and placed on a plate.

Looking at Lu Rulan's side, he was not idle, and he and Haichen were tinkering with a small hacksaw.

The lamb, whose surface has not yet been completely thawed, is held firmly and cut with a steel saw with extreme caution. Each slice of cut meat is thin and transparent, and it curls up automatically, stacking neatly on a plate like flower petals.

Everyone was concentrating on their own business, no one was talking loudly, only the warm air was flowing in the air, but the atmosphere was extraordinarily warm.

All the preparations are in place. Everyone cleaned up the clutter on the table and brought out a big hot pot that was made up a while ago. Looking at the shape, it is two stainless steel basins, one large and one small, welded to the bottom, and a short chimney with a thin steel coil stands in the middle.

They set the hot pot in the center of the table and threw the prepared charcoal into the bottom of the hot pot. Immediately after Lin Youqing, he began to pour soup into the big pot above.

The soup is a thick soup made with lamb stick bones and a variety of spices, with red dates, green onions, and a thin layer of white flowers.

While waiting for the mutton soup to boil, some people began to put on the plate; Others are starting to make dipping sauces. Suhe's "privately cultivated" leek flowers, chopped green onions, minced celery, chili peppers and crushed peanuts; Coupled with a variety of ready-made sauces, it is like a small feast in itself.

When the dishes and chopsticks were arranged, the mutton soup was almost boiling. Everyone beckoned each other to sit around the table, pour their drinks, and raise their glasses.

"Respect for this crazy world, respect for this Foguang Island, and respect for the rest of our lives."

The three sentences that I had said when I first arrived at Foguang Island are mentioned again at this moment, and I have a special taste in my heart.

Walk through the hesitation of spring, the stumbling of summer, the steadiness of autumn, and then take a break in the silence of this midwinter. Tomorrow will be followed by spring, and no matter what the road ahead, at least you will walk with me all the wayβ€”this is something that can only be met by the three lives.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

At midnight, the time on the mobile phone quietly skipped twelve o'clock, and the banquet in the villa had long since ended.

After reading the bedtime story for Duan Xingze, Duan Whale turned around and turned off the headlights in the room, leaving only a small night light he made for his son in the corner.

He walked back to his room, opened the door, and found the bed already made. Lin Youqing lay on the bed and looked up with a smile.

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

Duan Whale took off his coat casually, walked to the side of the bed and leaned over to give Lin Youqing a kiss.

"Still not sleeping? What are you doing? ”

"Jot something down." Lin Youqing shook the notebook in his hand, "It's already a new year, and we should also think about the work plan after the beginning of spring." ”

Duan Whale smiled, took out the pen from his fingertips and put it on the table.

"What are you doing in such a hurry, what if we leave the island next year? Isn't this planning in vain? ”

Lin Youqing also smiled and asked him: "Then you say, if we leave the island, what should we do?" ”

Duan Whale didn't answer, but only stared at Lin Youqing with those deep black eyes. After a long time, he reached out again and caressed his favorite face.

"You're so good-looking...... What if we could have another child who looks like you, Xiaoxing has one more brother or sister? ”

"Yes."

Now when it comes to these topics, Lin Youqing is no longer as shy as he was a few months ago.

He nodded gently: "Just follow my last name." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Meanwhile, in a room on the other side of the second floor.

Haichen gasped and climbed down from Lu Rulan, who was panting even more than him. Pulled a few sections of toilet paper and wiped the sticky parts of the two people.

"Are you satisfied?" He didn't forget to tease Lu Rulan, pointing to the top of his head, "The skylight you want." ”

After some negotiation this morning, they had just gotten the room where Su couldn't fit in. At this moment, directly above the bed is a square pyramidal glass roof. The snow has been swept away, so you can see the night sky high up.

Winter is the season of bright stars, there is no photoelectric pollution, and the pure black night sky is like a black velvet sprinkled with a handful of broken diamonds, which is breathtakingly beautiful.

Haichen hugged Lu Rulan and lay down, lifted the quilt a little to dissipate the ambiguous breath of hot flashes, and also let the starlight fall on their shoulders.

"It's so quiet." Lu Rulan muttered, "I don't know how long this kind of day can last." ”

"You can have as long as you want." Haichen smiled and pecked at the corner of his eye, "Don't forget, we still have a boat." I can take you anywhere in the world. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Lu Rulan's eyes were like 10,000 points of starlight, but she laughed mischievously: "No, I still want to stay with my brother." ”

Haichen deliberately stammered: "You are already mine, and you still want to be your brother's light bulb?" No, I'm going to tell the doctor. ”

"You dare!"

Lu Rulan scolded with a smile, and the two of them suddenly twisted again.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

It was just after making a cup of weak tea in the kitchen that Du Yunfei found that Su He was gone. He searched downstairs and went back upstairs to find that the bedroom was empty.

Without much thought, he soon smelled a faint smell of smoke coming from the air.

The south-facing door in the hallway was pushed open, and the large room behind it had been converted into a breeding room and a special conservatory. Although it is winter, the plants are still thriving when they are well cared for.

Many of the seeds have already begun to germinate, and they will spend the harsh midwinter in this warm kindergarten. In March and April, when the spring flowers are in full bloom, they will be planted in the greenhouse outside the villa or outdoors.

In the coming year, they will be the most important food and hope on the island of Foguang.

And the man in charge of sowing seeds and tending to this hope is sitting by the window surrounded by a few pots of Lige begonias, with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth.

"Yo."

Seeing Du Yunfei coming in, Su He didn't get up, but beckoned him to come over.

Du Yunfei handed him the hot tea: "Hide and smoke again." ”

Su He smiled: "The last one, the New Year's Day, enjoy it." ”

Du Yunfei was noncommittal, but took the cigarette away from Su He's hand and took a sharp puff.

"Yo, it's quite deeply hidden~~" Su He looked at the golden-red cigarette butt a little distressed, and the burn became shorter and shorter.

Du Yunfei took a few more puffs without changing his face, and then handed it back to Su He's hand.

"I'll take half of it for you."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Su He had nothing to say, looked left and right with the remaining cigarettes, and finally carefully withdrew the cigarette case. Then he shrank back with the teacup in his hand, making some space for Du Yunfei to sit down.

Du Yunfei stared at the lighter placed by the flower pot, which still had the dents they had bumped into when they jumped off the train.

In the blink of an eye, the frightening escapes of the past have become a thing of the past.

He asked Su He: "If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, are you thinking nonsense again?" ”

"yes." Su He was also frank, "I'm thinking that if it weren't for this end times, we might have died a long time ago." ”

"It's a possibility."

Du Yunfei seemed to smile: "But don't you still have to pay me back?" Then at least I owe you a meal. ”

"What can a meal, an hour, change? It's about the same time to quarrel again. ”

Su He also smiled, but asked again: "If the end times are really over, what do you want to do?" ”

"Maybe I will continue to prepare for the clinic, maybe I will go to the hospital to find a job. In short, do what you can. What about you? ”

"I don't know, I didn't think about it. I thought about it for a long time just now, but it turned out that my mind was full of the previous home, and I don't know if the building collapsed, and there were still a lot of things that I didn't have time to rescue. ”

After saying this, the two of them fell silent in unison. Su He took a sip of hot tea and felt his body become warmer little by little from the esophagus.

I only heard Du Yunfei say again: "When the time comes, we can go back and have a look first." Your home, my home. Pack up your things and find a suitable place again...... It may not be as big as this villa, but there will certainly be enough land for you to re-establish a peach blossom paradise of your own. ”

"Okay, then it's a deal."

Su He's slender and good-looking eyes were slightly curved, black as ink, but bright and cunning.

"But I'm afraid it will be a long process, and you must stay by my side every inch."

"It's a deal."

Du Yunfei nodded, and at the same time leaned over towards Su He.

In the starlight of the first night of the new year, he solemnly kissed the person with whom he was about to spend his life.

No matter when, no matter where, where there is you, it is Taoyuan. 166 Reading Network
