Chapter Ninety-Three: Meeting
Du Jiujiu had nothing to do, thinking that it would be better to cook some porridge to eat, she didn't eat breakfast this morning, and she had consumed a lot of physical strength when she was just on the road, and she was already a little hungry.
She pulled a lighter out of her backpack and lit it again with a dry twig.
Then she took out some of the rice she had just brought back from the rice bag, washed it with clean water, put it in the pot to add water, and set the pot on the campfire.
Lin Haochen also changed his clothes at this time, and trotted all the way to Du Jiujiu.
"Sister, how is it, am I dressed well?" He stretched out his arms and spun around in place, looking at her with a smile and a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Well, it's good-looking! When Xiao Chen grows up, he must be a handsome little guy! Du Jiujiu gave him a thumbs up and nodded with a smile.
Changing into new clothes, Lin Haochen's whole person became clean and neat.
The set of clothes that Du Jiujiu gave him was navy blue and orange, and the workmanship was very exquisite, and when worn on Lin Haochen's body, it added a bit of youthful vitality to him.
At this time, he was very different from the first time he met Du Jiujiu.
At that time, his body was dirty, his clothes were very shabby, his small face was full of vegetables because of long-term malnutrition, and even the eyes of others were full of wariness.
After Lin Haochen was brought back by Du Jiujiu, he ate dried meat containing energy for several days, and his originally thin and somewhat collapsed little face was already slightly fatter at this time, and it also became ruddy.
Several people in the base were very good to him, and even Su Xiaohan and his party treated this little boy like a younger brother.
In such an environment, Lin Haochen's heart, which had been frozen since he was a child, began to slowly melt, and his eyes gradually became more innocent at his age.
"Sister, it's so fragrant." The water in the pot began to bubble, Lin Haochen squatted on the edge of the pot, looked at the tumbling rice grains in the pot, and quietly swallowed his saliva.
"Little glutton, when the porridge is ready for a while, my sister will serve you a big bowl." Du Jiujiu stirred the rice in the pot with a long-handled spoon and rubbed Lin Haochen's soft hair with a smile.
The rice soup in the pot is tumbling, and a rich aroma spreads through the air.
Lin Haochen's face looked slightly red under the reflection of the bonfire, and he lowered his head slightly, wiping away the mist rising in his eyes without a trace.
A thought was like this curling smoke, lingering in his heart, and could not be dispersed for a long time.
"Sister, I really wish I could be by your side forever......"
Du Jiujiu didn't notice the boy's strange appearance, but carefully mastered the heat of the porridge.
Cooking in such a primitive way is many times more difficult than using a rice cooker. The last time she was in the cafeteria, a few of their inexperienced girls wanted to show off their cooking skills, but instead set the kitchen on fire, and she still remembers it vividly.
Du Jiujiu didn't dare to take it lightly, sometimes filling the bonfire with some fuel, sometimes picking up a spoon and stirring it, paying attention to the situation in the pot.
Watching the snow-white rice grains rise and fall in the boiling water, her tired nerves gradually eased.
Once upon a time, she was a carefree college student, and the only thing that gave her the most headache was the exams every semester.
At that time, she could never have imagined that one day in the near future, she would live a life of licking blood from the knife. Even if you want to eat a normal meal, you have to use up your strength.
Fortunately, though, she awakened her abilities and had some means to protect herself in the end times. Not only that, but she also has these reliable companions around her, who are her weakness and her strong backing, and they will always give her strength when she is confused and helpless.
Everything is moving in a better direction, and after adapting to these crises, the end also seems to be less terrible.
We're going to get better and better......
Du Jiujiu was thinking about it, when a rapid cough suddenly came from behind him, breaking the rare silence.
Du Jiujiu's hand suddenly paused, then hurriedly put down the spoon in his hand, stood up, and hurried a few steps to Luo Yucheng's bed.
Luo Yucheng seemed to have just woken up from a coma, and his hands were supporting his body vigorously to sit up.
But the violent coughing touched his wounds, and the white gauze on his chest was already soaked in bright red.
"How are you?!" Seeing this, Du Jiujiu hurriedly helped him, picked up the water cup in front of the bed with one hand, and handed it to his mouth.
Luo Yucheng didn't drink water, but raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
When he saw Du Jiujiu's face, for a moment, Luo Yucheng's face, which was slightly distorted by pain, had a look of consternation.
He remembers that night when he was in a desperate situation, a girl saved him. Although her voice was beautiful, her face was full of scars.
At this time, although the eyebrows of the girl in front of her were the same, her appearance was very delicate, and there was no trace of the embarrassment of that night.
Seeing him looking at him blankly, Du Jiujiu couldn't help frowning, and shouted to Lin Haochen, who was still a little stunned beside him: "Go and call An Cheng, his mental state doesn't seem to be very good." ”
Lin Haochen nodded, turned around and ran towards An Cheng's resting position.
Seeing this, Luo Yucheng suddenly realized that his current actions seemed to be a little reckless, and hurriedly looked away.
But soon, he noticed the name in Du Jiujiu's mouth.
"An Cheng? You're talking about An Cheng?! ”
Luo Yucheng sat up straight suddenly, and the blood marks on his chest also spread outward a little due to the burst of the wound.
Before Du Jiujiu could answer, An Cheng had already hurried over.
"Brother, are you awake!?" There was a tremor in her voice, and there was joy in her eyes that could not be concealed.
"An Cheng!? You...... Why are you here? Luo Yucheng's expression was also very pleasantly surprised, he had no brothers and sisters in his family, and the closest thing he had been to since he was a child was this little cousin, and now seeing that she was still alive and appeared in front of him, a stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"You were injured and unconscious that day, and it was Jiu Jiu and Sister Xiaoyun who brought you back here. This is the metro station in front of the school, and after leaving the school, we used it as a base and stayed here ever since. An Cheng took Luo Yucheng, who was still weak, from Du Jiujiu's hands, and helped him slowly lean on the head of the bed.
After briefly telling him about the various crises they encountered after the apocalypse, An Cheng changed the topic and asked him, "Why are you here, big brother, shouldn't you be in the imperial capital?" ”
