Chapter 61: A Moment of Eternity
The moon crept up into the sky, and night in the far north came.
The cold is the truest portrayal here, although the members of the Firefly Squad are wearing combat uniforms facing the extreme cold, the temperature outside at night still makes Chen Lingfeng feel a little tingling in his skin.
"Ling Feng, come in and finish eating." The two-story wooden house was brightly lit, and Yang Siya stood at the door and beckoned Chen Lingfeng to enter.
It is a small house, no different from the houses of ordinary villagers in the village, except that there is a small garden in front of the house, which is planted with all kinds of hardy flowers, which adds a different color of life to this hut.
Chen Lingfeng followed Yang Siya back to the house, and there was a wooden round table in the center of the small living room, and everyone was already sitting around the table.
Because he didn't hunt any prey, although he was the manager of the village on the surface, Yang Jinglin's family didn't have much stored food.
In addition to a large plate of frozen bread, it was a large pot of stewed animal meat and a hodgepodge of vegetables, which of course could be counted on your fingers.
Although the meal was extraordinarily simple, I was able to eat something hot, much better than the instant dry food that I had been nibbling on Nighthawk One for a long time.
Thinking about it like this, Chen Lingfeng really felt sorry for blasting them in his heart.
After dinner, everyone didn't talk too much, and Yang Jinglin quickly arranged a room for everyone to rest.
The house is not big, Yang Jinglin can only let Razor live with him, Ning Yu and Fox Huo live in one room, and Chen Lingfeng is arranged on the sofa in the living room. None of the homes here are equipped with stoves for the cold of winter, so even if you live in the living room, you won't feel cold.
The continuous battle had already exhausted everyone, and after a simple wash, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Fox Fire is the only exception, she seems to be tireless, since she heard that she lived in a room with Ning Yu, she began to be extremely excited, and she wanted to be intimate with Ning Yu many times, but Ning Yu blocked her back with a black face.
It wasn't until Ning Yu told her that he wouldn't live with her if he continued to make trouble, that he finally stopped.
The lights went out, and the world was as quiet as a still lake.
Chen Lingfeng added a few thick wooden blocks to the hearth in the living room, and the stove suddenly brightened up a lot. He sat back on the couch, his eyes looking out the window, and the occasional ethereal howl of those monsters rang out in his ears.
Chen Lingfeng somehow, obviously his body was already very tired, but he didn't feel sleepy. Perhaps it was because he had experienced too many battles and partings during this period of time that he recalled the past in such a quiet night.
Gradually, Chen Lingfeng's thoughts drifted to the distant past, the closed and dark tunnel, the promise made on that long warm night, and the figure of the girl who haunted him.
"Step, step" The sound of the wooden planks of the stairs sounded, and Chen Lingfeng turned his head indifferently.
In the dark corner of the room, the moonlight stretched the girl's figure obliquely. She was wearing a coat made of white fluff, her fair skin looked more crystal clear in the moonlight, her long maroon hair was scattered, her bright eyes were shining with a little starlight under the swaying of the firelight, her lips were as thin as cicada wings were slightly open, and her moist color shimmered with a different kind of temptation in the dark.
Chen Lingfeng was a little stunned, his gaze couldn't take his eyes off the girl, and there was a faint fragrance of the girl after bathing in the solidified air, and in a trance, he couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion, and the figure not far away was overlapping with the girl in his mind.
"Xiaoli!" Chen Lingfeng rushed forward quickly and hugged the girl in the dark corner in his arms.
Yang Siya was shocked by this sudden hug and trembled, her heart kept beating wildly, he had never been hugged so closely by the opposite sex, let alone such a warm hug from the person he loved.
She gradually closed her eyes, and just as she was intoxicated by this warmth, she heard Chen Lingfeng's name shouting. The whole person was stunned for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and his brows were slightly furrowed and his gentle smile returned.
Yes, such a cruel and cold world has long been devastated, even if it is a short moment of warmth, even if there are more important people in his heart, but all this is not important, at this moment he is hugging her tightly in his arms, and it is she who listens to the warm beating at the closest distance to his heart, which is enough.
Yang Siya closed her eyes again, opened her arms and tightly circled Chen Lingfeng's back, and buried her head deep in his arms, she wanted to get closer, she couldn't stand on his heart, so she enjoyed a moment of warmth at this closest distance.
"Ling Feng, you're pressing me a little tight." After a while, perhaps because she hugged too hard, Yang Siya began to feel a little difficult to breathe, she gently patted Chen Lingfeng on the back and said.
Chen Lingfeng reluctantly pushed away the soft body in his arms, and with the beating firelight, he finally saw who the person in his arms was just now.
"Think... Siya... Just now I ...... I'm sorry......" Chen Lingfeng took two steps back, and looked at Yang Siya in front of him with some embarrassment.
"No... It's okay. By the way, I'm here to tell you something. Yang Siya lowered her head, and a flush floated across her face. The subject quickly shifted.
"What's the matter?" Chen Lingfeng also hurriedly chatted about a new topic, and the two sat down in front of the sofa, no longer embarrassed just now.
"Tomorrow we have to go out hunting again, although the weather is seeing a blizzard coming, but we have no other way, if we can't deliver enough food the day after tomorrow, the black hat will ask us for a replacement." Yang Siya's brows tightened, and she seemed to immediately fall into some kind of bad memories when she talked about the substitute.
"What will happen to them if they can't hand it over?" Chen Lingfeng didn't notice Yang Siya's strange appearance and continued to ask.
"They will ask us for women, and a woman can deduct 100 catties of food. The last time for the safety of the whole village, Dad gave Mom to them, and then when we scraped together enough food to redeem Mom, the brutes had already tortured her to the point of being inhuman, and she died within a few days of returning. Yang Siya said word by word, her eyes were full of tears, her fists were clenched, and she couldn't stop trembling with anger.
Chen Lingfeng didn't say any more, when he first arrived at Yang Siya's house, he was surprised that he didn't see her mother, at first he thought that Yang Siya's mother might have passed away early, but he didn't expect this to be the result.
When will the annihilation of humanity in these last days come to an end?
"We don't have enough manpower, so I want to invite you to come with us tomorrow, although it's none of your business, but I still want to ......" Yang Siya's starry eyes looked at Chen Lingfeng again, eager for his answer.
"I... I'll go with you tomorrow. Chen Lingfeng twisted his head and didn't dare to look at Yang Siya's eyes again.
"Then it's decided, you can rest early, and I'll prepare breakfast for you tomorrow morning." When Yang Siya heard Chen Lingfeng's affirmative answer, a happy smile appeared on her face, and she turned around and ran upstairs briskly.
Chen Lingfeng was lying on the sofa, thinking back to the warm and real touch in his arms just now, he raised his hand and shook it in mid-air, and then immediately shook his head, his thoughts were a little messy.
In the room on the second floor, Yang Siya closed the door and leaned against the wooden door, she was clutching her chest, her heart was still beating rapidly. It's just that there are two more lines of clear tears on her face.
The short and eternal night was deeply engraved into Yang Siya's heart, how she wished that time would stop at the moment closest to his heart, hoping that the dawn would never come again.
