Fifth, bad news
Li Xuan patted his drowsy head, looked at the traces of tears on the sheet that had not completely dried, and sighed slightly.
The tired face looks physically and mentally exhausted. And his mother's sobs seemed to be still echoing in his ears, Li Xuan let out a long sigh, no matter what, he was still unwilling to give up.
For himself, for his father, and for his mother, who loves him deeply.
The sky outside the window was getting whiter and brighter than the earlier dusk, and Li Xuan helped him up, estimating that the foraging team had almost changed back.
Feeling the empty house, Li Xuan touched his still swollen face, and his mother seemed to go to the queue to get supplies instead of herself.
"Hiss......"
The body pulled by the exercise made Li Xuan gasp, and while affirming Liu Yin's strong strength, Li Xuan also really felt his own weakness.
"Li Xuan!"
The timid tone gradually reached Li Xuan's ears as the crack in the door widened, pulling back Li Xuan's sluggish thoughts, after all, even if he went, he didn't have enough to prove that he was capable of being a member of the foraging team.
"Wu Xiaopang?" Li Xuan, who heard the words, turned his head and was surprised, and subconsciously shouted out the nickname of the other party when he was a child, and then as if he remembered something, his face sank, "Wu Di, is there something?" ”
At this time, the person who came to visit was actually the black fat boy who took the lead in singing mocking ballads in the morning, Wu Di.
At this moment, Wu Di's face looked a little embarrassed, but he did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with Li Xuan calling out his nickname.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Li Xuan looked inquiringly at the two little followers behind Wu Di, but except for the black and shiny thick hair, Li Xuan bent down and couldn't see the faces of the two guys.
It's really shy enough, Li Xuan pouted. These little guys should have seen their performance in the morning and were afraid of being taught a lesson by themselves, so they came to apologize.
Thinking like this, Li Xuan shook his head, how could it be. If there is no rule to fight, you may not even be able to beat the little guy in front of you.
"If it's okay, I'll go first, and the foraging team should be back." Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, he had to go get supplies.
Although he is often ridiculed and ridiculed by this group of guys, in addition to being more irritable after hearing it, he doesn't really hold a grudge, just like an alarm clock in the morning, which is more annoying. After all, in the past, I didn't bully this group of little guys to run errands.
"Hey, Li Xuan......" Wu Di gritted his teeth, "That, can you teach us your training method." ”
The voice was as low as an ant, but it clearly reached Li Xuan's ears, and he looked at the cynical three guys in front of him with some surprise.
On the side, Wu Di clenched his fists, but he still couldn't hold back the words "Brother Li Xuan". The two guys behind him finally raised their heads, compared to Wu Di's black and fat, the two behind were much more delicate.
It's just that what Li Xuan didn't expect was that there was actually a girl inside.
"Give me a reason." Li Xuan pretended to snort coldly, pretending to be angry. Over the years, I have been greeted by the other party in various forms, especially the time when I made a fool of myself in front of the whole village, and made my mother show such a sad face.
Wu Di was the one who pressed himself to the ground and beat him.
Now that I think about it, I'm still very angry.
Angry at Wu enemy, of course, angry at himself.
"If you can, please teach them." Wu Di seemed to be ready to be rejected for a long time, "I apologize to you, you can punish me however you want, as long as you are willing to teach them, I am willing to be a cow and a horse." ”
Li Xuan looked at this thirteen-year-old boy in a daze, but what was reflected was the image of a father.
"Brother, if you don't learn, I won't learn, let's go back."
"yes, big brother."
A man and a woman behind him were red-eyed, but they didn't anger Li Xuan because of this, which surprised him a little.
Li Xuan sighed deeply, speaking of which, he had never met Wu Di's father, and vaguely remembered that when he was very young, Wu Di's mother also died of illness due to overwork.
"What's your name?" Li Xuan asked at the two people behind Wu Di, he suddenly liked the three little guys in front of him.
"This is Wu Shuang, my sister. This is Mei Youcai. Hearing Li Xuan's question, compared to the two behind him, Wu Di seemed more urgent.
"Wu Shuang?" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, Mei Youcai knew that Mei Youcai's parents were living outside, and only the grandfather and grandson were left, and every time it was the end of the month, when the general was ore, he would ask the foraging team to bring some things back, but this Wu Shuang, who had bullied Wu for so many years, had never heard that the other party had a sister.
"She is a child of the Wen family." Wu Di gritted his teeth and whispered, "But her name is Wu Shuang now, and she is my sister." ”
"Wen family!" Li Xuan's eyes widened, this was still when his father was the village head, the Wen family who committed a big crime and disappeared overnight in Longyin Village.
It seems that the little girl in front of her was the last seedling that her father kept back then. With the deliberate avoidance of the villagers, no one paid much attention to the descendant of this sinner.
Li Xuan looked at this little girl with a beautiful face, yes, her father has always been so gentle. Then my heart couldn't help but tighten, damn it, I remembered the unpleasant past again.
The other party's reason for coming here was a little brainy, and Li Xuan was clear.
The selection of foraging teams is strict every year, and as the strength of the human supply increases, fewer and fewer members of the foraging team will retire at the end of their lives. In order to be among the foraging team, everyone is working hard, and for the Wu enemy in front of him, he seems to take this as his only hope.
And this is the case, Wu Di is also willing to give up.
"If we don't bully you, we will definitely be bullied by others." Wu Di gritted his teeth, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and only by bullying Li Xuan can he not be bullied by others.
"I don't dare to teach you." Li Xuan didn't want to listen to the little guy say some sensational words, "But I can tell you the training method, but you have to promise me to protect Longyin Village well." ”
"Well, thank you Li Xuan...... Brother ......"
"Brother...... Is it? Recalling the smiling faces of the three little guys when they left, Li Xuan rarely bent the corners of his mouth, it was so good, a feeling of vitality.
Li Xuan, who was relieved, seemed to understand her mother's hard work, and in the years when her father disappeared, she did everything she could for herself. She endured the pain she couldn't comprehend and did her best.
Thinking like this, Li Xuan quickened his pace, and for some reason, looking at the white light in the sky that was gradually dimming, he had an ominous premonition.
The days of the Arctic are short and the nights are long. For safety, the foraging team will prepare to return to the village after noon. And the supplies that were retrieved were a month's worth of strong supplies for the entire village.
"Get out of the way!"
Li Xuan, who was thinking about how to face his mother, was blown back to his senses by the gradually approaching ridicule. Looking at the figure running rapidly in the aisle in front of him, Li Xuan is very familiar with it, it is his mother! And the blood stains that were spilling in the wind and the villagers that were gradually piling up behind him, Li Xuan frowned, something happened to the foraging team!
Seeing that Xu Nan was running with a person in his arms, Li Xuan took out the bracelet in his pocket with a smile.
The mother who ran with her seemed to be pressing the body of the person in her arms, and the arm that was covered with blood and hung down weakly seemed to be carrying the same bracelet as in Li Xuan's hand at this moment!
"That, this is our testimony to friendship, we are good friends for life." Xue Meng smiled and brought her own hand-knitted bracelets to Li Xuan and Yu Xia, and of course, did not forget to leave one for herself.
It seems that I haven't worn this bracelet since I was ten years old. But Xue Meng and Yu Xia never took it off!
As if suddenly remembering something, Li Xuan's pupils widened and he rushed up.
The past hit Li Xuan's brain one by one, the bloody arm kept shaking in front of him, and the clenched teeth made Li Xuan's whole body tremble. "Don't ......"
Longyin Village is responsible for the injury, only Dr. Xue's family, Xue Meng, is Dr. Xue's only daughter.
Xue ...... Xue Meng......"
Picking up the crowd that couldn't be leaked, looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Li Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief, but he clenched his fist with self-blame! was about to step forward to inquire about the situation, but it was at this moment that he saw that Xue Meng was actually curled up in Liu Changchun's arms and sobbing.
The slightly trembling voice alarmed Xue Meng who was sobbing, Xue Meng raised his head violently, and didn't seem to realize the changes in Li Xuan, the tears that had just been suppressed poured out here again in an instant, rushed over, and grabbed Li Xuan's hand, "Yu Xia...... Yu Xia he ......"
Looking at the familiar shadow in front of him, feeling the temperature from his trembling hands, Li Xuan glanced at Liu Changchun not far away. Yes, I should have realized it a long time ago.
Withdrawing his hand silently, Li Xuan calmed down instead, "What's wrong with Yu Xia, what's going on?" ”
In Xu Nan's experience, with three young people who went out to forage for food for the first time, they obviously wouldn't look for a dangerous place, but now, Yu Xia was injured, and he was so badly injured......
Compared with Xue Meng's impulsiveness, Li Xuan is more calm about Yu Xia.
Feeling Li Xuan's action of withdrawing his hand, Xue Meng realized that the matter between himself and Liu Changchun must have been seen. adjusted his emotions slightly, and said, "Yu Xia was attacked by a mechanical giant bear. ”
Raid?
It was an accident, but he was more willing to accept it, and during the time he spent with the ghost mother-in-law, he had some understanding of Li Xuan, a mechanical giant bear active near the North Pole.
Furious, tough but also lazy, quiet. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke, the opponent will generally not take the initiative to attack. And Xu Nan followed, but Yu Xia was alone.
"Liu Changchun, can you tell me about the specific situation." Li Xuan clenched his fists. Yu Xia's mother cried silently at the door, and Li Xuan motioned for Xue Meng to go and appease her.
After all, there are some things that Liu Changchun said more thoroughly.
"After we went out, we arrived at the place where the supplies were scattered and began to disperse and collect." Liu Changchun rarely did not contradict him, he knew the relationship between Li Xuan and Yu Xia, firstly, he did not want to have unnecessary trouble, and secondly, he did not want to embarrass Xue Meng.
"It seems that due to the excitement of going out for the first time, everyone dispersed until they heard Liu Yin's cry for help." Liu Changchun hesitated, but still spoke.
"Liu Yin!" Li Xuan clenched his fists, no matter what kind of caution Liu Changchun had, at this moment, he had to ask Liu Yin to understand.
"How?" Yu Xia's mother tightly grasped Dr. Xue's white clothes. The whole person hung there unnaturally, if it weren't for Xue Meng's support, I am afraid that he would have collapsed to the ground.
"Although my life is worry-free, my right arm cannot be saved."
"Hiss......"
The sighs of the onlookers, the fainting of Yu Xia's mother suppressed the atmosphere at the door to the extreme, and Xue Meng, who was full of tears, turned around and wanted to talk to the familiar face.
But Li Xuan had already disappeared into the crowd the moment the results came out.
Liu Yin! If it were you, I would definitely make you pay the price in blood......
