Chapter 25: From today onwards, I will be your brother
The bright silver spoon dug out a piece of bread pudding made of red beans and bread as the main ingredients, and stuffed it into the pink little mouth with elegant movements.
Last night, Brother Xian brought a survivor back and knew it, but he didn't expect it to be such a cute girl, no, just cute such a monotonous word to describe the girl in front of him Zhang Yuan felt a little too rude, but the twelve-year-old himself really didn't have too many gorgeous words to modify his floating mood.
It seems that the ingredients in the villa are very rich, or it may be that there is an extra girl in the team, and Brother Xian has prepared a rather exquisite breakfast. The exquisite appearance and attractive gold color and the rich milky fragrance made Zhang Yuan, who had just gotten up, immediately have a great appetite, and ate the food after dividing it by two, and then noticed Xi'er who had been carefully dressed before going downstairs, and felt ashamed of the other party's elegant demeanor.
"Xiaoyuan, I said that remember to chew slowly when eating, so that it is easy to eliminate the feeling of fasting, in the future, food must be the biggest problem, you have to change this habit." Brought out the freshly made poached eggs and bacon from the kitchen, and when he saw Zhang Yuan, who had finished eating the pudding, Yue Xian reprimanded him like a big brother.
"I see, please let me go." Zhang Yuanben Yue Xian, who was already self-conscious, became even more ashamed when he said it, and dared to sneak a glance at Xi'er, but the other party didn't care about him at all, just ate the bread pudding in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"There's a lot of food here, and we can't take it all with us anyway, so let's just eat a little more this morning, and we'll leave at nine o'clock." When explaining today's itinerary to the two little guys, Xi'er pulled her sleeves and looked at Yue Xian with clear brown eyes, "What's wrong with Brother Xiaoxian?" It feels like you're not happy. ”
"It's okay, I'm sorry to worry you." Although he smiled reluctantly, he couldn't erase the depression anyway.
"Is there anything you can say to Xi'er, the mentor has said it, if it is uncomfortable, it will be much better to say it."
Looking at Xi'er's worried expression, Yue Xian rubbed the girl's hair to express that she was fine, really, she was already weak enough to need a child to comfort her, as the leader of this survivor squad, it was really a dereliction of duty. "It's okay, I just remembered something unhappy, I'll be fine later, let's not talk about my business, let's try the poached eggs fried by my big brother."
As he spoke, he sandwiched a piece of golden poached egg onto Xi'er's plate.
"Xi'er, where is your home? Or do you know where your parents are? ”
"Huh? Isn't Xi'er with us? Hearing that Yue Xian seemed to be planning to send Xi'er to her parents, instead of going to Shinan with himself and the others, Zhang Yuan began to get a little nervous.
"Of course, after all, her parents will be very worried."
"They won't worry about Xi'er." Just when Yue Xian was about to preach to Zhang Yuan, Xi'er said in a dull tone, it was the first time she heard Xi'er speak in this tone, and a discerning person could also see that Xi'er's family situation was not very harmonious, no, let girls who were only twelve years old feel this, it should be said that it was a very bad family environment. But.
"You can't say that, they may have left Xi'er temporarily for various reasons, no matter what kind of parents they are, they definitely love their children." Yue Xian, who originally wanted to continue to appease Xi'er, stopped his high-sounding rhetoric, and the lovely person in front of him kept shedding tears after Yue Xian said those words, not like yesterday's crying because of fear, at this time, it was obvious that the girl was trying her best to endure and didn't want to cry, but the sobbing voice and tears still kept overflowing, this kind of crying had a stronger impact than yesterday, Yue Xian's chest began to have strange feelings.
Squatted down and looked up at Xi'er, and when he wanted to wipe the other party's tears with a napkin, the hand holding the napkin was hugged by the other party, and he couldn't stop crying and said a sentence that made Yue Xian almost unable to hold back his sadness.
"Then why...... Why don't they want Xi'er anymore...... Why did you lock Xi'er in her room and run away by yourself? In the end, the thin girl began to cry, she no longer had the right to let the other party not cry, at this time to say anything is okay this kind of behavior is irresponsible, the boy also realized the mood of the girl last night when she shrunk under the covers, it was not only because of fear, but also the despair of being abandoned by the person he trusted the most.
The boy couldn't imagine the sadness of the girl in front of him at the moment, the moment he opened the door, the person the girl wanted to see most should be her parents, but she saw the empty castle except herself. If nothing is done now, the void created by the darkness of the castle and the despair that makes one want to die may never be able to make up for it.
Without any words of comfort, Yue Xian could only gently hug the crying Xi'er in his arms, and Zhang Yuan also cried and took Xi'er's hand, comforting the sorrow that can be seen everywhere in this last world in his own way.
I don't know how long I cried, maybe half an hour, or an hour? None of that matters anymore. Seeing that the girl in her arms gradually stopped crying, as if she was afraid of scaring the other party, Yue Xian buried her head and whispered in an inaudible voice: "Are you willing to call me brother?" ”
"Brother?" Although she didn't understand the young man's intentions, Xi'er still shouted out with doubts, and then Yue Xian showed a relieved smile: "No matter what reason your parents left you, you will be my sister in the future, I swear, no matter what the reason, I will never leave you, I will always be with you." ”
Straightforward to the point of no embellishment of rough sentences, the young man who spoke did not understand the art of language at all, and made the words without any color more boring without rhythm, but for some people, this is enough, Zhang Yuan on the side also smiled, he can personally experience the mood at this time, the young man himself may not have noticed that what he has is the most important thing in this last world, the instrument that can bring hope to the people around him.
Filled with a sweet feeling that was about to suffocate happiness, the girl just smiled stupidly at the moment, and kept shouting two meaningless words, but heavier than anything, brother.
After some accidents, Yue Xian told the two to continue to eat breakfast, although it was already cold poached eggs and bacon, but it was no problem for Zhang Yuan to eat these foods, as for Xi'er, at the moment, she was sitting on Yue Xian's lap and enjoying this food that had lost its temperature, so that Zhang Yuan kept pouting and reminded that he had been comforting her just now, and the latter repeatedly showed a bright smile to show that he knew.
Watching the interaction between the two, the low mood because of the security uncle finally improved a little. Just when a few people were still eating in an orderly manner, the watermelon that was chewing ham on the side suddenly stood up and looked outside the villa. But it doesn't look like an enemy reacts when they approach, it's more like they've found something.
"Go to the second floor." Although the watermelon did not show aggression, Yue Xian still hoped to let the two of them go upstairs for safety, but when he saw Xi'er stubbornly pulling the corner of his clothes, Yue Xian still compromised, glanced at the room and leaned towards the window. Although it was inside the villa, Xi'er's cry just now was indeed a bit loud, even if there were not many walking corpses in the academy, the possibility of attracting them also existed.
The result was different from what he expected, the outside of the villa was still a clean street, and in the end, he had the courage to block Xi'er and Zhang Yuan behind him, Yue Xian opened the door of the villa, only to hear a slight sizzling sound from the central radio of the academy.
Yue Xian realized what was going on at the first time, and immediately closed the door, picked up Xi'er, and shouted, Zhang Yuan ran to the second floor. Zhang Yuan, who didn't react at all to what was going on, also ran to the second floor in a panic, and at this time Yue Xian had already opened the window of the room near the broadcast in the square. In about five minutes on the radio, a long-lost voice was heard.
It was the voice that once brought hope to the remnants of humanity in China. But this time it was different, just as soon as he spoke, Yue Xian heard the heaviness and tiredness in the other party's tone.
"For the first time, I felt humiliation, and for the first time, I wavered about the atheism I firmly believed, and I am sitting here now......" Although he didn't see the other party's appearance, but just from the voice and pause, Yue Xian felt this person's helplessness, and he couldn't imagine it at all, this was the same person who made his blood boil half a month ago.
"I'm sorry, I thought it was just a disaster, but I was wrong, I and my men, and everyone here, witnessed something that made me realize that this was not just a disaster, this ...... Call...... This is a war, this is a war related to whether our human race can survive on this land, we are far from enough now, this is the border garrison in the Tibetan area, we need you, no matter where you are, no matter what your gender is, no matter how old or young you are, we are going to start a war, this is an absolute, absolutely not to lose the war, when we give up, the human race, it will be over. So, even if you still have a little fighting spirit, pick up the weapon in your hand and fight, we need you. ”
Sure enough, even in a helpless and confused state, this person called Ishida clearly knows how to choose, unlike himself, this kind of person will undoubtedly be the hero of this era, will be recorded and passed on by history, and if humanity wins, it will definitely be passed on.
