Chapter Seventy-Four: Warmth

Xu Sheng said very elegantly: "Auntie, I am Xu Sheng, a native of Kyoto, but I have been away from home for many years, and my dearest relatives are gone." Now I have the fate to meet Qingdai, so I decided to stay in W City, would you like to have such a relative as me? ”

Du Qinyue was a little dumbfounded, this person didn't pretend to be makeup, who was the person who was coquettish and cute to Qing Dai along the way, and who was cold and cold with Qing Dai on his back, and now he has become a new good man and a bitter boy in an instant, do you want to be ashamed?

Even Qingyun was deeply disdainful, but he still stepped forward very politely and said: "Auntie, I am Lian Qingyun, like them, they are all from Kyoto, and they were rescued by Qingdai in S City, and I am very grateful for her help." ”

Hou Siping is a little flustered, these children introduce themselves too quickly, and the atmosphere always feels weird?

However, Jiang is old and spicy, and she didn't show anything unusual, she nodded very kindly, just like the classmate who entertained Qing Dai back then, and said with a smile: "No thanks, Qing Dai can help people, and I'm very happy." You're tired all the way, let's go, follow Auntie to the cafeteria, Auntie has a treat. When you're full, let's have a good chat! ”

Du Qinyue cheered: "Auntie is the best!" ”

The crowd walked towards the central cafeteria of the third base. After all, in this special period, in this kind of space like a military fortress, it is very unrealistic to cook separately, and collective canteens have become inevitable.

When the food was taken out, Du Qinyue exclaimed: "Green vegetables! There are actually greens! ”

Hou Siping nodded with some curiosity: "Yes, there are green vegetables." Although it was only recently, it seems that the scientific research department has improved the varieties, and the vegetables that had been cut off after the disaster have been re-supplied. Haven't you ever eaten it? ”

Qing Dai unconsciously exchanged glances with Du Qinyue and a few people, but her face remained unchanged at all: "We didn't meet anyone along the way, so we ate some rice and dry food with us, and at most hunted some animals to eat." I haven't tasted greens for a long time. By the way, Mom, are these greens grown after the earthquake? ”

Hou Siping heard that the children hadn't eaten vegetables for a few months, and she was distressed, so she just thought about how she could ask for more vegetables from the canteen for them. But I don't want Qingdai to ask about this. She thought about it for a moment. Only then did he nod and said, "Yes, it was probably a month ago, but fortunately, it was autumn and winter." It's not about building a greenhouse. It's expensive. ”

Qing Dai and the others all had a feeling that something was wrong. But he didn't want Hou Siping to worry, so he had to put it down for the time being, gritted his teeth and ate all the vegetables in front of him. Although these greens don't taste bad before the day changes. But that strange shape always makes people feel uneasy.

After the meal, everyone talked and laughed again, and Du Qinyue and the others went to pick up the twins who stayed in the inspection department, and then went directly to the temporary reception to rest, leaving Qingdai's mother and daughter to talk well.

Most of the semi-underground base lighting relies on natural lighting, and a few special circumstances will be artificial lighting, which is not only to save resources, but also to hope that people will follow the rules of life, and in the absence of entertainment, they will reduce inefficient activities and move closer to militarized management.

When the steel plate of the door was closed, it was only dark.

Hou Siping touched Qingdai's cheek and said with a shallow smile: "It seems to have grown up?" ”

Qing Dai felt as if she had returned to her peaceful past, and habitually exclaimed, "I didn't gain weight!" ”

And when this sentence was spoken, the strangeness that I hadn't seen for a long time disappeared in an instant.

Qingdai hugged her mother, feeling this omnipotent mountain when she was young, and at this moment she also revealed her old age and rickets, and secretly regretted that she was fighting outside, leaving her mother alone, saying that she was independent, but it was more like abandonment.

Hou Siping patted Qingdai's back and said, "So big, still like a child?" ”

Qingdai is still habitually coquettish: "No matter how old I am, I am also your child, and I am still coquettish?" ”

Hou Siping slapped her again silently.

Qingdai finally felt wrong, no longer nestled in her mother's arms, and looked at Hou Siping with a little surprise: "Mom? ”

The tacit understanding between mother and daughter made Hou Siping very clear about Qing Dai's questions, but she was still silent for a while, and then talked about her experience after the change.

Strictly speaking, Hou Siping was very lucky, just when the sky changed, because some people were in a strange coma, she rushed to her hometown in the countryside to find Qingdai's grandmother, worried that the old man was unwell. It was this time difference that allowed her to avoid the chaotic city killing, but when the mutation was prominent, she killed the mutated villagers with some middle-aged men and women in the village, and then waited for the rescue of the army.

Later, despite the earthquake and biological mutations, W City was blessed with the lowest disaster rate among the survivors in China, and only a few people died because they disobeyed the management orders.

Hou Siping and her relatives in her hometown also moved from the open-air temporary gathering place to these more advanced bases. The only sad thing is that Qingdai's grandmother died in her sleep after all because her body was not good enough, frightened and lacked adequate medical conditions.

Maybe I've seen too much impermanence of life and death, Hou Siping is also a lot less sad when she talks about it, who knows, whether the living people are happier, or those who leave early are happier?

Qingdai listened to these stories, although she did not have the thrilling experience of herself, but she was infinitely sad. Among the zombie villagers who were killed, there were also many uncles, aunts and eldest brothers and sisters who Qingdai knew each other when she was a child, as well as those in the town, including the neighbors in their own compounds, and perhaps many of them had eaten dumplings together and sang and laughed together on festival days.

If anyone sees through life and death, he can only break off love.

Qing Dai secretly wiped away her tears in the dark, and pressed the voices and smiles of her grandmother and those friends in the depths of her memories, but said a little briskly: "Mom, you are lucky, and my luck is also good." I slept at home, slept through the chaos, and then awakened the ability. When I got up, I was stupid, and everyone was gone! Later, I realized that a long time had passed, and I slept for seven whole days. If I hadn't seen a few monsters, I would have thought it was a haunted dream. ”

Hou Siping was very quiet, Qingdai knew that she was not sleeping, she must be listening carefully, and then said in a more joyful tone: "Find out what probably happened, everyone ran away, I thought that these people didn't call me, so I ran to those supermarkets where no one was, had a big meal, and packed it away." Get ready to ride your bike home. At that time, I didn't know where the others had gone. I thought it would be okay to go home along the way. Hehe, it's kind of fun to think about it now. ”

Hou Siping finally chuckled: "I asked you to learn to drive, you don't learn, you know it's inconvenient, right?" ”

Qing Dai rubbed on her mother. Only then did he explain: "Not necessarily." A lot of cars were taken away. There's no oil left, and I can't drive it. Later, I met Satsuki and a few of them, and they didn't just know how to drive. Knowing where there was a rich man's garage oil depot, we took the car on the road seriously. When we got out of the outskirts of S City, we met people and found a place where ordinary people gathered. ”

Hou Siping sighed: "Why don't you stay there obediently?" Now there is also a way to report safety, you came back all the way, fortunately you arrived home safely, otherwise wouldn't it make me even more sad. ”

Qing Dai smiled: "I'm so powerful, I'm not afraid, and Xiaoyue They also insist on going home, I think we can just be companions, the most important thing is that at that time, a lot of people asked to go north to return, we just followed the crowd." ”

Hou Siping said coldly: "Follow the trend, what about those trends?" You're really not worrying enough, don't call me a white-haired person to a black-haired person. ”

Qing Dai listened to these stern but full of love and care, tears poured out again, only to feel that her mother's arms were still broad and warm, as long as she was here, she was not afraid of anything, so even if there were thousands of mountains and rivers and difficulties, she would not give up and come back.

She kept her voice normal, and she couldn't hear the effect of choking at all, before she said: "Your daughter, I regret my life, and you don't know that I have been timid since I was a child." Later, I encountered a lot of things, but I came over cautiously, and there are Xiaoyue them, you can also see it, they are all proper second generations, and they are very smart, and they have helped me a lot. ”

Hou Siping didn't hear Qing Dai's choking, she only felt that her daughter's voice seemed to be sleepy, and she was not in a hurry to listen to the story, her daughter was safe, she didn't have many ideas, even if there was a future son-in-law among those boys, she didn't panic for a while, so she said, "Are you sleepy?" Let's sleep first, when you sleep and feel better, you can talk about it later. ”

Qingdai thought that her mother was also sleepy, and nodded: "Well, good night." Then he leaned into his mother's face and kissed him a goodnight kiss.

Hou Siping laughed and kissed back.

Qing Dai finally relaxed completely and quickly entered the dream.

In a temporary residence not far away, there is no such good atmosphere.

Du Qinyue looked at Xu Sheng and Lian Qingyun a little blankly, as if sparks seemed to burst out between the two, and pulled Zhang Hongjun, who was also an onlooker, and the twins: "What are they making a fuss?" ”

The twins rolled their eyes, what kind of nerve does Sister Yue belong to? The combat touch is first-class, and the emotional cells are zero? The two of them were dragged into the base for a special examination of underage children as soon as they entered the base, and it was not easy for them to come to meet these people, and they knew what was going on at a glance, but Du Qinyue could still ask this sentence from the beginning to the end?

Zhang Hongjun was pulled by a violent woman, and thought about it in his heart, thinking that it was better not to add variables to his rest time for a while, and the hero did not suffer immediate losses, so he said: "The bull fight, of course, is an emotional dispute." ”

Du Qinyue blinked her eyes, and then she was a little surprised: "You mean, the two of them are in love and killing each other?" But I didn't see it all the way. ”

Zhang Hongjun stumbled, almost fell, looked at the twins in the back and almost laughed, desperately covering his mouth not to make a sound, and was embarrassed to transfer the contradiction to the child, so he had to say: "You study more, these things can only be understood and not spoken." ”

Du Qinyue tugged at her hair, feeling as if she had thought of something, but she didn't know very well. But she never likes to embarrass herself, she doesn't want to think about it if she doesn't understand, and these men's bad things won't affect her. After making a judgment, she turned around and wrung up the twins, dragged them into her cubicle, leaving the three men to "live alone".

Come to think of it, it was really a harmonious and beautiful night.

However, Qing Dai slept soundly, but did not enjoy the lazy bed.

Du Qinyue greeted Hou Siping, who got up early, and rushed into the room and woke up Qing Dai: "Qing Dai, get up, Auntie is going to work, the twins are not in bed, you are still sleeping!?" ”

Qingdai was a little helpless, she knew that this was definitely not the point of Du Qinyue's quarrel with her, so she hugged the pillow and said, "What did you encounter?" ”

Du Qinyue didn't expect Qing Dai to be so keen, so she laughed wryly, so she had to say, "I saw an acquaintance, guess who it is?" ”

Qing Dai felt that Zhou Gong was still calling herself to play another game of chess, and her mother's taste was also sinking, so she muttered casually: "Who, you say." ”

Du Qinyue didn't see Qing Dai's drowsy appearance clearly, and quickly said the answer: "It's Lin Xinran!" Do you remember? ”

Lin Xinran? Lin, Xin, Ran? Qing Dai echoed twice in her mind, and finally remembered the woman who seemed to be a god of war on the yacht, and thought of the beautiful and elegant when she first saw her, and the cold and resolute when she said goodbye, Huo Ran sat up.

"Are you sure? Is it Lin Xinran? How did she get to W City too? Qingdai couldn't help but ask. At the same time, the uneasy darkness in my heart seemed to spread again. (To be continued......)
