Chapter 55: Celebration Banquet, Parting Banquet

Meng Xiaoshuai immediately let go of Zhang Hui's hand and looked at him in a daze.

Zhang Hui looked at Meng Xiaoshuai and whispered, "I'm sorry, Meng Xiaoshuai, I can only send you here." ”

Meng Xiaoshuai said in a trembling voice: "Why! ”

Zhang Hui said: "I told you a long time ago......"

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "That's just talking! Now it's reality! ”

Zhang Hui said: "If it weren't for you, I would have gone to find that forest a long time ago." If it was a fairy tale and now it is reality, then I sent you to the junction and did my best. ”

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "You escape from reality! ”

Zhang Hui said: "You can say that I am weak. I just want to be another life form, to go back to my parents, and to be with them until the end of my life. Boss Zhou, I'll leave tomorrow on that motorcycle, can you give me some gas? ”

I said, "Think again." ”

Zhang Hui said: "There is no need to think about it. ”

Meng Xiaoshuai's tears fell down, and she said, "I'll go with you." ”

Zhang Hui said: "Impossible. ”

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "I will become what you become!" Why don't you want me? ”

Zhang Hui said: "Meng Xiaoshuai, after you go out, I hope you find a good man and live a good life." If you have extra money to pay for the journey, go to Qiqihar and see me, although I can't speak at that time, but I must be very happy. ”

Meng Xiaoshuai pounced on Zhang Hui and cried silently.

Pulp and Little 5 cried together.

Bibi quietly looked at the sand outside the tent.

Dinner is ready.

I, Pulp, Zhang Hui, and Meng Xiaoshuai all walked out of the tent.

There are bacon, ham, roast chicken, canned fish, beef in sauce, greens, fruits, eggs...... This was the most sumptuous dinner we had since we entered Lop Nur.

Everyone sat around and turned on all the lights. Lao Huang is shooting.

Sure enough, there was wine, and everyone was given a paper cup and poured it.

Pulp sat next to me, close to me.

Meng Xiaoshuai sat next to Zhang Hui, her expression was very lonely.

I met that Master Zhang for the first time, and he was across from me. He didn't seem to drink, and only held a bottle of mineral water in his hand, looking neither sad nor happy.

Anijiang spoke with a paper cup: "For so many days, everyone is predicting that the chance of their survival is zero. But today we have rescued them, and this is our victory, and it is their victory. We toast to life! ”

Everyone raised their glasses and dried.

Next, Anijiang said: "Please tell Zhou Dedong about it." ”

Everyone applauded.

I got up, walked to the middle, and said, "When I was a kid, I read a novel called "Love of Life," the most famous short story by the American novelist Jack London at the end of the 19th century. It's about a gold prospector in the American West who has been abandoned by his friends and trekked alone through the vast wilderness. Winter was approaching, the wind and snow were hitting him, and he had no food, and his leg was wounded, bleeding all the way. Just when he was on the verge of collapse, he met a very old wolf, which followed him, licking his blood all the way, and could not shake it off. The ending is obvious, either he drank the blood of the old wolf, or the old wolf drank his blood, and the two dying beings began hand-to-hand combat on the wasteland, and in the end, he bit the old wolf to death and was finally rescued......"

Everyone listened silently.

I went on to say, "I've read another novel, and I'm sure many have read it, and that's Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea." It's about an old fisherman, Santiago, who subdues a big marlin at sea, and then encounters a shark on his way back. Man and nature are engaged in a thrilling struggle to the death, and the old fisherman is battling against the fate of bad luck, although he has suffered irretrievable defeat, but, in another sense, he is a victor, because he did not give in! ”

Everyone was still listening.

I said: "We entered Lop Nur on April 21, and all the instruments and communication equipment suddenly failed, and we were trapped in the ecstasy and completely lost our direction. We found another kind of people who went on a killing spree against us and would not let us go; We found a mysterious chessboard in the Yadan area; We found suspected aliens, and they even entered our lives; We found a mirage freshwater lake filled with quirky amphibious babies swimming without passing on any message to us; We find that the sky turns, and the Big Dipper is no longer a beacon light; We walked into a city that didn't exist, and there was a joy in the air; We were confronted with flying corpses; We've found that the weakest of water and plants actually kills......"

A lot of people have their mouths wide open.

Lao Huang's camera was always pointed at me.

I said, "We were scared, we ran around, looking for a way to live, some even broke into 100 years ago, and some even walked into a black fairy tale ......"

Still no one spoke, only the night breeze was blowing quietly.

I continued: "On the way to the run, we also met murderous fugitives, outlaws, fraudsters, and some of us had hidden murder motives in order to survive...... We were confused, we cried, but we didn't give up, all the good people didn't give up, we warmed each other, supported each other, and waited for you all the time...... Thank you! Thank you! ”

I drank the wine down.

Everyone suddenly applauded.

Little 5 poured me another glass of wine.

I said, "We have a lot of teammates who died, and they are all buried under the yellow sand and salt crust, this cup, to them!" ”

With that, I splashed the wine on the sand with tears in my eyes......

On this night, everyone drank a lot of alcohol.

Ainijiang took the lead in singing Uyghur songs.

There were a few Uighurs in the search team 4, and they sang along.

That Master Zhang was really withdrawn, he ate something and left, back to the tent. Then, his tent glowed orange.

Meng Xiaoshuai kept leaning on Zhang Hui's body, crying. Zhang Hui whispered something to her.

Little 5 and Bibi walked over and talked about the painting.

Bibi said, "Old handsome man, how do you know that I am holding that painting?" ”

I said, "We caught the person who stole your painting, her name is Mi Dou." ”

Bibi said, "Really? Who the hell is that ugly monster? ”

I said, "It's complicated, she used to be our teammate and then she became humanoid. ”

Little 5 said: "Undercover? ”

I said, "She's been humanoid." ”

Little 5 said, "How was it transformed?" ”

I said, "If I do, you won't be able to drink wine." ”

Little 5 said, "I want to hear it!" ”

I said, "Two people with humanoid blood, one of them must die and the other can be transformed, and he will have three days to drink the blood from the other......"

Xiao 5 splashed the wine in his hand and shouted: "I'm disgusted!" ”

I said, "How dark is it for a person to agree to be converted?" ”

Bibi said: "I deceived her with a fake painting, she won't come to Qingdao with me to retaliate against me, right?" Look at her sloppy look, I can't beat her! ”

I said, "There are only 6 humanoids left on Lop Nur, plus rice beans, a total of 7." However, they may exist wherever there are no people, such as snow-capped mountains, such as primeval forests, such as deserts. And they can sneak into the city at any time and hide around us, so be vigilant. ”

Bibi said: "Send a ***, blow them up!" ”

I said, "You write an application to the military?" ”

It's late, and everyone hasn't dispersed yet. Except for Master Zhang.

The pulp snuggled up to me and said drunkly, "Zhou Dedong, do you know? I used to be moved. ”

I said, "Huh? ”

Pulp said: "When Linghu Mountain came to negotiate, he said that we can transform, I really want you to drink my blood and live." ”

I said, "Just think it's a nightmare, don't talk nonsense." ”

"If I did that, we'd be together," said Juice. ”

The topic was a bit sensitive and I didn't answer.

"I know, if you leave Lop Nur, you will never want me again." ”

I said, "No, you're wrong. ”

Pulp looked up at me and said, "Really? ”

I said, "Honestly." ”

Pulp sat up straight and said, "So our past promises count?" ”

I said, "I think you and Wu Min are more suitable, and now that he hasn't come out, my spare tire can come in handy." As long as you don't dislike it. ”

Pulp suddenly pursed her lips and said, "There is a shadow in my heart. ”

I said, "What shadow?" ”

"You have snubbed me. ”

I said, "It's always sunny weather, it's unhealthy weather." ”

"Back in Changsha, I'm going to get engaged to the wedding dress, and I'm going to order a red embroidered dress, and I'm going to hold two weddings, one Chinese on Saturday and one Western on Sunday...... What do you think? Without two weddings for a couple, we have a unique one! ”

I said, "That's a good idea." ”

Pulp said again: "However, it is impossible for Monsoon to be my bridesmaid, and it is impossible for Zhang Hui to be your best man...... Hey, let's find two flower girls, shall we? ”

I said, "Juice, I'm going to tell you something." ”

"What's the matter?" ”

I said, "I need to finish one thing before I can marry you." ”

Pulp looked at me alarmedly and said, "You have to learn too...... Chapter back? ”

I said, "It's different." ”

"Tell me, are you going to stay?" ”

I said, "Yes." ”

Pulp looked at me stunned, and tears finally rolled down: "Why? ”

I said, "I'm going to find Monsoon and take her out of Lop Nur." ”
