Chapter 656: Back to the town
That night, the three of them had a full meal, then extinguished the fire and closed the door to the basement, although there was still an oil lamp, but Tia was still a little scared, she put her hands on her shoulders, and sat closer to the fire, although the fire was only ashes, but after she closed the basement door, the closed basement gave women an instinct to protect themselves.
Charlie? Pullman naturally knew the meaning of Tia's gesture, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, he was already lying on his bed, so he sat up again, and said to Tia: "You sleep in the bed, tomorrow you can leave here, and I will sleep on the ground for one night." Saying that, he really got out of bed, took off the roll from the bed, spread a layer of grass on the ground, and then went to sleep, looked at Zhen Fan again, nodded at him, and motioned for Zhen Fan to sleep with him too.
"You sleep, I have a way to sleep myself!" Zhen Fan looked at Charlie with a smile? Pullman, he felt that this man was of good character, so he did not intend to occupy his bed, so he planned to meditate by the fire for the night. As long as you enter the state of forgetting things and self, there is nothing that you can't sleep, and the whole person will be very energetic.
Charlie? Seeing that Zhen Fan didn't mean to sleep with him, Pullman stopped insisting and wrapped himself in a blanket and fell asleep. And Tia also looked at Zhen Fan and then Charlie, and finally fell asleep, because she was really tired during the day, and she was frightened by the tornado that she was thrown so far, so she fell asleep quickly.
I don't know how long it took, Zhen Fan squinted slightly, and knew that it was already dawn outside. looked at Tia on the bed and Charlie on the floor, smiled, and opened the basement door. Walked out. After the storm, the weather has cleared, and the rays of sunlight are still warm from time to time, but when they shine on their bodies, they make people feel a burst of openness.
Tia also woke up, and the moment Zhen Fan opened the door, she was sleeping towards the door. Opening the door, the light shone in, and her eyes narrowed. So I got up and went out. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw Zhen Fan standing on the ruins, facing the sun, and from behind, the golden sunlight was covered by him. And the light that came through his face. made his whole person a little different, like ......
A wall? Tia couldn't say how she felt, so she had to half-jokingly tease Zhen Fan in her heart, and then walked over from behind, holding back the smile brought by the joke in her heart, and said, "I didn't expect you to get up so early, didn't you sleep last night?" As he spoke, he actually looked at his face.
"Do you think I don't seem to be sleeping?" Zhen Fan couldn't help laughing. Then looked at Tia, "Did you sleep peacefully last night?" "Say this. Zhen Fan was intentional, because when meditating, Zhen Fan became very sensitive to the surrounding qiē, and Tia's breathing became heavy several times during the night, which was obviously a sign that she had not fallen asleep when she woke up.
"I'm a little unaccustomed to sleeping in my own bed and living in a tent with my mates, I haven't tried to spend a night like this, I can't hide, I can't disturb you, but...... You certainly didn't sleep well at night, but...... Wait, how can I not see the tiredness on your face? ”
Zhen Fan didn't answer her question, but looked at the sun for a while, turned around and walked towards the basement, saying as he walked: "Let's go have breakfast, and then hurry, trying to reach the town of Lecce before dark!" ”
When Tia heard this, she hurriedly followed Zhen Fan to the basement. In the basement, Charlie was awake and he was setting bread and wine on the table. It will be breakfast for three people. Seeing Zhen Fan and Tia coming in, he said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to get up so early, breakfast time, and then you can still feel Lecce town for dinner!" ”
"Of course!" Zhen Fan nodded, then sat down to enjoy.
After breakfast, Zhen Fan redistributed the bread and wine he had collected, left Charlie a little bread and two bottles of wine, and packed the rest by himself. Charlie sent Zhen Fan and Tia out together.
"He's a good guy!" The two walked for a distance, until they couldn't see the town that had turned into ruins, Tia said to Zhen Fan without words, looked at Zhen Fan's smile again, and added, "At least they didn't let me sleep outside last night, which is enough to prove it!" ”
"So...... What about me? Zhen Fan said half-jokingly, "What kind of person am I?" ”
"I don't know...... Tia smiled, "If you were a bastard, I would have died a long time ago, I don't know how hard the impact was from the sky, but I knew ...... I'm definitely not going to survive, thank you, Zhen! As she spoke, she stopped and stretched out her hand to Zhen Fan.
"Tia-" Zhen Fan said, and then smiled, for the sake of this woman's careful thinking, "Is this our reacquaintance?" Do you consider me your friend now? ”
"Of course, now you're my friend, before...... I'm still wary of you, and I'm also wary of Charlie, don't blame me, it's an instinctive reaction of women in times of crisis, if you want to ...... Kill me, or ...... To get my body, I basically have no power to resist! "After one night, I felt like my worries were unwarranted...... Sorry, I might have broken your heart by saying this, but ...... That's what I thought at the time! ”
"If I were a woman, I would be like you!" Zhen Fan can understand.
The two of them talked about this all the way, but it wasn't too boring. Tia talked about her chasing tornadoes, studying the causes of tornadoes, and talked about how she lost her parents under the tornado when she was a child, and she was a little sad, and then she didn't speak for a long time, until she walked a long distance, and then said to Zhen Fan: "Okay, after listening to so many unhappy things about me, then...... Tell me about you, are you going back to China? ”
"Maybe, maybe one day it will, but now I have my own business here, and I used to think about making all the money of the Americans, and now that goal is still far away, so ...... I still have to fight for it! Zhen Fan said, and both of them couldn't help laughing.
Some cattle and sheep carcasses can be seen along the way, as Charlie said, after the road was destroyed, there were search and rescue personnel from the National Guard, but they only searched hastily and then evacuated in a hurry. So Zhen Fan didn't meet anyone else on the road.
When it was almost dusk, Zhen Fan and Tia finally walked to the town of Lecce, looking at the town from a distance, where the National Guard has been evacuated, and those affected by the disaster have also been evacuated, they will live in simple rooms with the National Guard, and then wait for the reconstruction of their homes.
"That's the town of Lecce!" Zhen Fan pointed to the town from afar, and then smiled, "I have a lot of friends there!" If my guess is correct, your friends will be there too, because they have nowhere to go but there! So saying, he took the lead and walked towards the town.
Tia watched Zhen Fan stride towards the town, stunned, and walked away, along the way, the two of them are very familiar, but once they arrive in the village, how many words the two of them can talk to, I don't know, but ...... This young Chinese is indeed a good person! This is Tia's heartfelt evaluation of Zhen Fan.
"Aha, Zhen, finally see you!" Suddenly, a group of people came out of the town and walked towards Zhen Fan, led by Old Jack, who was overjoyed when he saw Zhen Fan and gave him a heavy hug, and behind Old Jack was Anthony, as well as those Tia's colleagues.
Seeing Tia come back safely, her colleagues were very excited, rushed up to hug her one by one, let out exclamations and excited cries, greeted each other, and they were extremely surprised that Zhen Fan and Tia could survive. Yes, who could survive such a huge tornado?
"Zhen Neng!" Old Jack was full of confidence in Zhen Fan, and when someone raised such a question, he couldn't help but raise his head proudly, looking at the man with some disdain, "Look, isn't he standing here now?" This is a miracle, Zhen is good at creating a miracle! ”
Old Jack beckoned Zhen Fan and Tia to his bar: "I'm having a treat today, you can drink as much as you want, it's best to drink all the wine in my bar, but ...... Be sure to remember to make a toast to my friends! As he spoke, Old Jack grabbed Zhen Fan's shoulders and said as he walked, "Rachel hasn't come back yet, I'll call her, she followed the people from the National Guard to go out to search, if you don't mind, you can help me pick her up." My pickup is over there! ”
Old Jack pointed to the pickup truck next to the bar, and said to Zhen Fan, without waiting for Zhen Fan to answer, he turned around and beckoned those people to enter the bar, and then gave everyone a glass of wine, and then raised his glass and shouted loudly: "For Zhen, for the sake of a person who is still alive, a toast!" ”
"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses and celebrated loudly. The atmosphere was very warm. After Zhen Fan drank a few glasses, he turned to look at Old Jack and blinked: "Give me the car key!" ”
Old Jack smiled, threw the car key to Zhen Fan casually, and said loudly: "She is now in a military camp on the outskirts of Billings City, where there is a camp for refugees, you can go there to find her, and ...... Mobile phone, bring it, I can't get through to your phone, I guess your phone is definitely gone! ”
Zhen Fan grabbed it as soon as he stretched out his hand, raised it at Old Jack, and then walked out of the bar, Old Jack looked at him behind him, with a smile on his face, he could see that Zhen was a good person, and he was very capable, and the important thing was that he had an appetite for himself, and judging from Rachel's appearance last night, she must have fallen in love with this guy.
In that case, why not give him a chance? Maybe he could stay in Lecce in the future, and to be honest, old Jack thought it was the most beautiful and best place in America, and he didn't want to go anywhere, he just wanted to stay here until he died and was buried here. (To be continued......)
