The sound outside had long stopped, but Xia Qingshan couldn't sleep, she got up quietly, and after making sure that Zong Xiaoli was not woken up by herself, she came to the outside of the shop lightly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was no light outside, it was very dark, it was the kind that couldn't see the five fingers, according to the previous memory, Xia Qingshan came to the place where he sat when he first came, on a stone with a few newspapers.

But just as she was about to sit down, there was a slight sound next to her, which startled her to stand up again, hesitate for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Yes, is anyone here?" ”

"Ahh Sorry, did it scare you? A familiar voice sounded with a sense of vicissitudes.

This voice?! Is it grandpa?

Xia Qingshan was about to call to confirm, when the sound of a lighter suddenly appeared in the dark, and it didn't seem to ignite for the first time, only a little spark came out.

Boom! The second time it lit up, and a weak and pale face that appeared next to the flame was indeed Zong Xiaoli's grandfather.

The old man looked at Xia Qingshan with a gentle smile, "Wait a minute, it'll be fine right away." ”

As he spoke, he turned over a piece of ash from the pile of debris next to him, which was not much longer than a baby's tail finger, and placed it on a slightly flat, high stone, and set it on fire.

Xia Qingshan looked around, although the light was very weak, but under the light of this small candle, some things that were originally hidden in the darkness appeared.

For example, in this unquiet night, not only she and the old man couldn't sleep, but also some people were sitting next to their shops, staring blankly at the ground or above their heads in a daze, not knowing whether they were thinking about their gray future in the future, or recalling all the good things they had in the past.

"Did it scare you just now?"

"Huh?" Xia Qingshan turned around and found that the old man was looking at him, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no!" I should say that I surprised you. ”

The old man also shook his head slowly, "People are old, and they can't sleep at the slightest movement, so what do you say?" When it's you, can't you sleep thinking about your brother and friends? ”

“…… Yes. I was afraid that they would come out to me at night, it would be too dangerous. Xia Qingshan's face flashed with worry, especially Qingshi, that guy is too stubborn sometimes, I really hope that Sister Moxi can control him.

"You care so much about them, it means that they are really good to you. Xiaoli is good at everything, but sometimes she is a little impulsive. The old man sighed, obviously Zong Xiaoli was not impulsive.

"I ......" Xia Qingshan was about to say something, but there was an inappropriate gurgling sound in his stomach, his little face was slightly red, he touched his stomach, and lowered his head in embarrassment while praying that it would stop screaming.

Seeing her like this, the old man, who had long guessed that there would be such a scene, smiled, and pushed the wheelchair into the shop behind him, as if he had gone in to get something.

Knowing that she shouldn't have expectations, after all, other people eat so little and simply, she shouldn't trouble others, but Xia Qingshan still couldn't help but peek inside.

After a while, the old man slowly came out with a wheelchair and handed a small bag of snacks marked with the word potato chips to Xia Qingshan, "Eat a little, pad your stomach." ”

"No, no, I'm not very hungry, just bear with it." Xia Qingshan looked at the bag and swallowed his saliva, then turned his head away from it, thinking that he couldn't see it, and his heart didn't move.

Seeing that Xia Qingshan didn't answer, the old man deliberately made a straight face and said, "You call me grandpa, should you listen to grandpa?!" Be obedient, grandpa will let you eat, and you will eat! Don't worry about Xiaoli, she won't know. ”

On the bed board, Zong Xiaoli, who had her eyes closed but was very conscious: Grandpa, no matter how low you are, I know everything......

The two of them outside were in a stalemate for a long time, Xia Qingshan finally couldn't resist the temptation of food, and took the potato chips under the old man's smiling expression, but when he looked up, he found that the old man was in a cold sweat and there was hidden pain in his eyes.

Xia Qingshan was stunned, only to find that the old man put one hand on his lap and stroked it gently, which seemed to relieve the pain, but the effect was not very good.

There must have been a problem with the connection between the prosthesis and the leg. As far as she knew, people who had prostheses before the end of the world needed to go to the hospital regularly for check-ups, and now, without the conditions for maintenance and examination, it is normal for problems to occur, but it is also difficult to deal with them.

If the situation is severe, it will definitely have an impact on the connected legs, and it is not impossible that it will even deteriorate.

Seeing Xia Qingshan looking at him without blinking, the old man squeezed out a smile, "It's okay, don't worry." It's just a little painful, and it will be fine after a while. ”

"Grandpa and I will go back together!" Xia Qingshan looked at the old man tightly, hoping that he would not refuse, "There is a very powerful one in our team... Doctor! He'll be sure to help you! ”

The old man shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm an old man, I'm still a cripple, and if I go, I will only cause trouble to you, and I can't do anything." ”

"No, it won't!" Xia Qingshan said: "There is an old woman in our team, she is in her eighties, and Sister Moxi still asks her to follow us, so you don't have to worry." ”

"But, even so, I can't leave here." The old man turned his head to look at the other shops, "The people here are all here because of me, how can I leave them and go by myself." ”

"Then let them go with them!" Xia Qingshan said without thinking about it.

The old man looked at her with a smile: "There are more than a hundred people here, so many people go at the same time, will that Sister Moxi of yours agree?" Can you keep these people safe and fed? ”

"This ......" The old man's series of questions stumped Xia Qingshan, she really didn't take these things into consideration, but she didn't want to give up just like that, "I can go and tell Sister Moxi, she will definitely agree to everyone when the time comes!" ”

"Child," the old man touched her head, "I don't know the result yet, it's best not to make too many guarantees, otherwise, if you believe in others, you will be dishonest." ”

"I ...... I'm sorry. Xia Qingshan lowered her head, feeling a little frustrated.

"Alright, let's eat something and go rest for a while! After all, after dawn, you're going to find your companions. You don't want them to worry too much, no. ”

After speaking, the old man pushed the wheelchair into the shop, and watching him leave, Xia Qingshan felt a little sad and turned his head to look at the small section of candles.

There was only the last bit of wax oil left, still struggling to support it, and the fire heart flashed and flashed, as if it was about to be extinguished.

Even if Grandpa doesn't go back with her, she can't give up! When the time comes, as long as she talks to Sister Moxi, she will definitely agree to accept these people!

When the sun rises, she sets off!
