The flat stream is covered with white snow, and the footprints of people who walk here from the road form a short, straight path, and it seems that everyone is just rushing for the clear water, and there is no elegance in looking for beauty. Lynn hugged the little Katrili, walked gently by the stream, took out the English-German dictionary and turned the pages, and then said according to the above pronunciation:
"Wash your face, okay? Katrili! ”
"It's washing...... Face ......" the little girl corrected Lynn's mispronunciation in a serious manner.
Lynn smiled embarrassedly, "Oh, wash ...... Face ......"
"Daddy helps...... Catrili ...... Wash! The little girl was talking word by word, as if she were playing a simple and pleasant game of Scrabble.
Lynn parroted it, causing the little girl to giggle.
"Alright, come down!"
Lynn crouched down and placed Catrile on the ground, and slipped the dictionary into her satchel. After getting off the ground, she didn't run around, she stood next to Lynn and turned her head to look back, and then grinned at her little mouth that was missing several teeth, and laughed and shouted "Mommy, Grandpa".
What a lovely child, it was unfortunate to be born in the war years. Lynn was full of emotion because of the people in front of her, and suddenly thought of the motherland that was devastated by the Japanese in his contemporaries, and the children of his grandfather's generation who were born early and were only a few years old at this time, but it was a pity that their childhood was full of hunger and suffering. Although he has crossed time and space, with his current situation and ability, he is only powerless about everything that happens in the far East.
Take off your gloves and pull a handkerchief out of your pocket. Although I have used it twice in the past few days, it was at night, and Lynn only found that it was covered with various stains. It's like a handkerchief for cleaning and hygiene, it's like a rag used by armored soldiers to repair tanks! Thinking that she would have to wash her face in a while, Lynn hurriedly immersed it in the stream water to wash it. The murmuring stream in front of you was so clear that you could feel the biting coldness just by dipping your fingers into it. After rubbing vigorously a few times, the muddy yellow stains gradually dissipate, but it is difficult to remove blood stains and oil stains by washing them with water alone.
Just when Lynn was a little helpless, the young woman came to him and crouched down.
"Give it to me!"
The sound is like a natural and pollution-free stream, the sound quality is very good, and the tone and speed of speech are just right. Although Lynn felt a little embarrassed, she didn't want to give the other party the impression of hesitation, so she handed her the handkerchief.
This handkerchief bears witness to the difficult and disorderly environment of the battlefield, and the young woman who took off the shawl did not say a word, silently bowed her head and washed it. Seeing that some of the stains were too hard to remove, she asked Catrili to help her open the duffel bag and take out a delicate small brown paper bag from the corner. Under Lynn's curious gaze, she naturally opened the paper bag and took out a pale yellow piece of soap from it.
If it weren't for the limited space and weight, most of the refugees would probably want to bring all the valuable things in the house, but this young widow brought a complete set of cleaning tools, Lynn couldn't help but feel surprised, he took a glance at the duffel bag that opened the zipper, which was neatly folded with light-colored clothes, the thin texture was probably pajamas and intimate clothing, and there might be some emergency medicines used to stop bleeding and relieve pain!
Such luggage should be the choice of choice for those who are fleeing long distances, especially for women and children with limited physical strength. Perhaps, this was all thanks to the careful teaching of her deceased husband, but the process was no longer important. Thinking about the green onion cake before, and looking at everything in front of him, Lynn's favorability towards this young widow suddenly increased a lot - isn't this the legendary virtuous helper?
When the young woman washed her handkerchief, little Catria was like a kitten, squatting quietly and obediently beside her.
Lynn sighed lightly, looked at the dirty gloves that were also stained with mud and oil, he quickly submerged them in the water and rubbed them vigorously, and before the young woman could ask for them, he wrung out the roughly cleaned gloves and hung them on his belt.
The young woman did not show obvious surprise at Lynn's move, she shook off the wrung out handkerchief, folded her waist and handed it to Lynn: "Wow! Wash your face! ”
This was like what Lynn had said to little Catrily, and the young woman then took out a clean handkerchief from her coat pocket, soaked it slightly, and wiped her daughter's face.
"Hmm...... It's cold! Little Katri said coquettishly, twisting her tiny body from side to side.
"Daddy likes it when it's clean!"
As soon as the young woman said this, little Catrili immediately stopped writhing.
Lynn laughed as she wiped her face with the soapy handkerchief.
It was definitely the cleanest thing he'd ever touched.
The young woman here had already washed her face for the first time, and was washing her handkerchief with the stream water, when the little girl turned her head and squinted at Lynn: "Daddy's face is not clean, and he has a lot of beard!" ”
Lynn only half-understood this, and the young woman turned her head to look at him, and whispered something to little Catri. I saw the little girl open the duffel bag and rummage through it, and in a moment she took out an object wrapped in brown paper in the shape of a microphone, and happily handed it to Lynn.
Lynn carefully disassembled, it was a razor with a metal head with a wooden handle. The brown wooden handle is engraved with a fine pattern, and the fixed head is simple and atmospheric. It was clearly used, but it was well maintained, and the metal parts were shiny in the sunlight - wasn't that true of the young widow in front of her?
I have only used an electric shaver before, but TV is the best tutorial for the details of life. Lynn wet her chin and cheeks with water, and carefully scraped it against the reflection in the stream. In the process of shaving, he still glanced at the mother and daughter from the reflection from time to time, but only little Catrili watched with interest, and the young woman only helped her daughter wash her face, wash her hands, and wash her own face, as if she deliberately did not want to see other men using her husband's razor.
Gradually, the unkempt haired, scruffy beard in the reflection of the stream revealed his true face - thick eyebrows, high brow bones, deep eye sockets, a sharp nose, thick lips, and like a typical European male surname, this face has very distinct features, and it is neither too compact nor too far apart, the facial contours are tensed from the cheekbones, but the chin is not very pointed, and the arc is just right. Then dipped his hands in water to trim his hair, thirty-year-old Raul. Gonzalez turned into an eighteen-year-old wind-chasing boy in the blink of an eye.
took out the dictionary and quickly looked up the German corresponding to "handsome", Lynn turned to little Catrili and said, "Catrili, is Dad handsome?" ”
The little girl leaned on her mother and looked at Lynn shyly. This expression made Lynn squint and laugh, and at this moment the young woman just turned her head, and those beautiful and calm eyes looked at Lynn in a daze, her white cheeks were already a little red, and now she looked as delicate and shy as a flower.
With a razor in hand, Lynn stood there a little bewildered, is this the attraction of different surnames that only exists in the imagination?
In fact, the two are less than a meter apart, and they can complete the action of hugging and even kissing without moving their feet, but neither of them can take the first step.
"Ha, razor! Lend me for it! ”
Private Karl, who had unloaded the black cauldron, had just washed his face with stream water and had been squatting in the front-line trenches for a long time, also with a scrungy beard and unkempt edges. His outstretched hand was about to touch the razor, and Lynn woke up from a dream and suddenly shrank back to avoid the other party, an action that made the other party's eyes widen in surprise and puzzlement.
"Oh, sorry, this ......" Lynn wanted to say "it's unhygienic for the two to share the same thing", but she didn't know how to express it in German, so she hurriedly pulled out her dictionary and turned the pages.
Able to carry the black cauldron for a long time, Private Carl's surname is naturally better than ordinary people, he puts his hands on his hips and waits for Lynn without impatience. It took two or three minutes for the Danes, who did not speak German, to say what they wanted to say with the help of a dictionary.
"Oh, it's a hygiene problem!"
Carl was neither blind nor fool, and seeing Lynn's nervous expression, he playfully faced Lynn's face and raised his eyebrows at the young woman, then turned away with a wicked smile and walked away.
Belch......
Although it feels like this is a mockery with colored glasses, Lynn can't get a seizure, putting aside the appearance of a sanctimonious gentleman, isn't that kind of thing between men and women exactly what any normal male surnamed wants to happen in his heart?
