Although there was a stove in the sailboat, due to the limited space and energy saving, it was decided to move the kitchen to the beach by the pier.

"I said, this meal is being cooked, and a zombie won't suddenly run out, right?" Su He was still a little uneasy, "Leji is the easiest to be sad." ”

"Brother, don't think too much."

Lu Rulan hurriedly shook her head: "Just now we closed the barbed wire gate from the botanical garden to the beach, and it must be safe here." And before you came, that guy from Haichen and I had already gone around in circles, and there were indeed some zombies, but they were all locked up in various construction sites. ”

Despite the guarantee, with the mentality of "sailing the boat carefully for ten thousand years", Su He still built everyone to act in pairs, and in case of an accident, there would be a response.

Duan Whale took out the fire axe and flashlight from the survival box in the trunk, and Su He's field investigation equipment also had multi-functional folding knives and sapper shovels, and everyone updated the equipment and started work.

To cook, starting a fire is definitely the first step. Liquid fuel is now scarce, but the beach is lined with woods and firewood. Su He volunteered to take over the job, and dragged Du Yunfei to the woods.

When he couldn't hear the conversation on the beach from afar, Su He asked, "How do you feel?" ”

Du Yunfei asked rhetorically: "What's how?" ”

"It's my brother's group. You haven't been talking, so you can't get used to them. ”

"You're thinking too much." Du Yunfei shook his head, "I would never label others just by saying a few words. ”

Su He immediately smiled, and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of Du Yunfei's eyes.

"Yo, Dr. Du opened his eyes and said nonsense again. When they first met me, they didn't agree with me and learned a lesson. ”

Du Yunfei looked down at him: "You are an exception." ”

"Cut."

Su He withdrew his hand and broke off a dead branch from a nearby tree by the way: "I said, you won't believe that my brother is really a drug trafficker, right?!" ”

Du Yunfei also began to collect dead branches: "Can't you see that the policeman didn't take this seriously." He's just trying to get your brother's attention. ”

"it!"

The firewood in Su He's arms crackled and fell to the ground: "You said that the policeman is beating my brother's idea?" ”

"Turns out you're going to get dark too." Du Yunfei kicked the firewood back to Su He's feet.

The more Su He thought about it, the more uneasy he became: "The name surnamed Hai is indeed a little familiar, I'm sure I've heard it somewhere...... Shall I go and warn Xiaolan first, there is something wrong with that guy? ”

"It's you who has the problem." Du Yunfei pierced his mentality: "This is a typical brother-lover complex, and it is likely to lead to crime if you go down strictly." ”

"Nonsense......" Su He opened his mouth to retort, but his eyes rolled and he laughed again, "Yo, it smells of vinegar." ”

"You've got a bad nose, cut it off."

"I just like the way you look like you have to pick up firewood with me, even though it's not happy."

In the dark woods, Su He's laughter like a fox was heard.

――――――――

At the same time, a sailboat on the shore a hundred steps away from the woods. Lu Rulan was looking at the seven-star eel in the bucket.

Charcoal-grilled eel is a delicacy, but it's still alive and snake-like no matter how you look at it.

Lu Rulan was originally not afraid of snakes. Until he was 17 years old, when he was still a member of a youth idol group, when he participated in a variety show, he unknowingly put his hand into a tank of artificial cobras. He had nightmares for five days in a row, and the shadow fell from then on.

The eel in front of her was still slowly writhing, and Lu Rulan took a deep breath - maybe she should break off with her phobia.

But before he could reach for the bucket, the ugly eel had been caught by another man and thrown into the trough.

"I'll do it."

Haichen walked to his side at some point, "This thing is very troublesome, let's let the professional come." ”

"Isn't your major a small report?"

Thinking of what happened just now, Lu Rulan's whole person was still angry: "Why do you want to tell my brother about those who don't have it?" ”

Haichen kept his hands and didn't raise his head: "You have silently suffered such a big loss outside alone, but your family doesn't know anything, I think it's very unfair." ”

Lu Rulan obviously didn't expect him to explain like this, she was stunned for a moment, but she didn't give up: "I don't care if it's fair or unfair, I just don't want my brother to worry." Why can't you understand this kind of feeling? ”

"Who said I couldn't understand."

Haichen took the eel and rinsed it briefly: "Have you ever thought that if your brother really cares about you and knows that you are deliberately hiding it from him, he will also doubt his ability and then be disappointed in himself." ”

Lu Rulan was dumbfounded: "How did you talk today?" ”

"Ah, it's all the usual routine during interrogation. You know, know it with affection, move it with reason, confess leniently, and resist strictly. ”

"Bastard!" Lu Rulan was so angry that she almost threw the rag out: "Don't give me this set!" ”

Haichen took a half-step back and threw the washed eel on the cutting board.

"Don't be angry, come on, the whole eel has been taken care of for you. Take care of it, my stomach can be saved by you, big star. ”

――――――

The cabin was bustling, and Lin Youqing was holding a basin of clean water in his hand, cleaning the vegetables that had just been taken out of the box.

The former president Duan Whale was squatting beside him, dealing with a white chicken.

"Are you tired?" Duan Whale asked Lin Youqing, "If you are tired, go and rest, I can do these things alone." ”

"No, you don't." Lin Youqing shook his head: "It's good to be tired, you can forget a lot of things." Just like during the day, when I was nervous, I couldn't remember a lot of sad things. ”

Duan Whale nodded: "The past is in the past, no matter how much you miss it, it can only be like this." Now that we are a family, you can talk to me if you have any thoughts and thoughts, don't hold it in your heart. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Duan."

Lin Youqing lowered his head and continued to wash the vegetables: "Thanks to you, I was able to come here safely." I'm already very grateful for that alone, and I really don't have any other luxury. ”

The movements on Duan Whale's hand stopped slightly, and suddenly changed the topic: "You...... Have you ever heard about me? ”

"Nope." Lin Youqing shook his head.

Duan Whale put aside the processed chicken and came over to help Lin You clean the vegetables.

"Do you know why I left college and went out to start a business?"

“…… Isn't it because the salary of being a teacher is too low? ”

"It's kind of a bit." Duan Whale smiled bitterly, "But the most important thing is that I divorced my ex-wife that year. ”

“……”

Lin Youqing has also seen that woman, tall and beautiful, dressed with a very temperament, belonging to the type that will not be buried when walking in the sea of people. There are still many teachers in the school, and they are envious and jealous of Duan Whale for this.

However, Lin Youqing knows that the real object of this woman's liking is also a woman, but this relationship is not tolerated by the social environment. So she found Duan Whale, who had the same troubles, planned a marriage in name only, and obtained Xingze and Chenfeng through guò test-tube technology.

"That year, my ex-wife finally decided that she wanted to get out of this false life. We're divorced, there's not much to say, it's logical. ”

Duan Whale did not have any objection to this, one for each of the two children; Because the property is independent before the nuptial and after the marriage, there is no trouble.

It is the parents of both parties who really can't accept this fact.

Because Duan Whale and his ex-wife abide by each other's secrets, in order to find out what the problem is, they will save this originally "happy" family. The parents of both sides have made appointments with their former sons-in-law and daughters-in-law again and again, and even hired so-called private detectives to find evidence of each other's "cheating" - the result is naturally that the paper cannot contain the fire, and both sides lose.

According to the original plan, the ex-wife took the children to the other side of the world. Duan Whale didn't leave, he stayed and took on almost all the "firepower".

After the dishes were washed, Duan Whale took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it very rarely, and the golden-red cigarette butt was extinguished in the dark.

"It was your senior year of internship...... Anyway, I couldn't stay in school anymore, so I just ran out and started a business. It's not a good thing, it's smooth sailing. Later, my ex-wife subdued her father, and the world was half cleaner. ”

"So...... What about the other half? ”

"My mom didn't get early, and my dad continued the strings. He also had heart problems, and after learning the truth about my divorce, he was furious and said that he would cut off the father-son relationship with me. He had a heart attack the following year. There was no contact between the stepmother and the remarriage. ”

After all, it was many years ago, and Duan Whale was no longer sad when he recalled it, but the cigarette in his hand still accumulated a long period of cigarette ash.

"Yesterday I suddenly heard that your dad is gone, to be honest, I'm really worried that it will be because you said something wrong on the spur of the moment. So I was going to come back anyway, but I didn't expect so many things to happen. ”

After saying all the things to be said, Duan Whale extinguished the cigarette butt on the beach.

The sea breeze quickly blew the smoke away from the air, leaving only a dead silence.

At the end of the dead silence, Lin Youqing spoke slowly.

Teacher Duan...... I've always been envious of your lifestyle, of your ability to fulfill your family's expectations without hurting the feelings of innocent people. But I now know that you also have so many last resorts. I have great kindness to the world, but everything I do is wrong...... But are we really wrong? ”

"It's not."

Duan Whale's eyes, faintly with a little uncertain light, like a star, fell back on Lin Youqing's body.

"I must apologize to you for saying some cruel things to you before. I thought it was good for you, but only now did I realize that all the prejudices and discriminations, gossip and gossip, all the insidious and vicious restraints of human society would have become bullshit. ”

With that, he looked up and took a deep breath.

"Youqing, do you smell it? There is a breath of freedom on this island. ”

"Smelled."

Lin Youqing's smile was full of bitterness: "It's just that the price of this freedom is too heavy." ”
