Chapter Ninety-Seven: Traveling Like a Dream
Chen Xiao didn't answer, she endured her tangled heart and didn't let Yuan Huaxing see her expression at this time.
How she struggled inwardly, her heart was in turmoil, and she cried out in her heart, "What should I do? ”
Yuan Huaxing's voice came softly from behind his ears.
"Don't mess up, I won't force you, I want you to accept me without any worries, I want you to have no fear in your heart, but what I hope most is that you can also accept yourself, Chen Xiao."
Chen Xiao was slightly stunned, Yuan Huaxing could still hear what she was thinking, but Yuan Huaxing's words, no matter what they meant, Chen Xiao's heart became even more sad at this time.
Yuan Huaxing's real birthday is still two days away, what will happen after the mission, where should she go, and what will happen to Yuan Huaxing?
Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a little confused again.
She glanced at the horizon in the distance, cloudless and incomparably vast, which made her heart suddenly brighten.
Temporarily let go of those concerns, no matter what, she can't leave, she doesn't want to be together, she just wants to put everything aside at this time and go down with Yuanhuaxing on her back.
Soon, the camping team arrived at their destination.
The Dongda/Laigou Youth Farm is very large, and the school team entered the practice field in the middle of the inside, and the teacher asked the students to line up and sit on the ground.
Chen Xiao put Yuan Huaxing down and helped her sit down.
There were four or five tables in front of the training ground, and behind the tables sat some officers and soldiers, explaining the meaning and purpose of the camping exercise.
Chen Xiao whispered to Yuan Huaxing to take off her shoes first, she wanted to see how her feet were doing.
The shoes were taken off very slowly, but Yuan Huaxing still couldn't help grinning.
Chen Xiao saw that on Yuan Huaxing's white socks, there were several places oozing some yellow-red liquid.
She whispered, "It's all broken, you can really bear it."
Yuan Huaxing squeezed out a little smile, "I didn't expect it to be broken, and I think these shoes are the most comfortable in the morning, and they can be worn on foot." ”
"How many times have you been fooled, you simple fool?"
Chen Xiao helped her take off her socks, and Yuan Huaxing grinned in pain.
Yuan Huaxing's toes and sides are still under the thumbs, and on the soles of his feet, all of them are blistered, some of them have been broken, and the red and tender flesh inside is exposed, and the green and white skin is rubbed next to it.
After Chen Xiao saw it, he couldn't help but glance at Yuan Huaxing, revealing a worried gaze.
"What's in your bag?" Is there something to disinfect? ”
Yuan Huaxing looked at his backpack.
"Inside are blankets and clothes to be covered at night, as well as water and food, how could I think so much, let alone think that my feet can grind out blisters."
The extra worried look in Chen Xiao's eyes made Yuan Huaxing feel warm in his heart.
"The surroundings you see through are red and swollen, so it will be infected, and the report will be over in a while, I will take care of the things that the teacher wants to disinfect, you don't wear socks first."
Yuan Huaxing nodded, she saw that Chen Xiao was very serious, and couldn't help but look at her again, until Chen Xiao found her staring at herself, Yuan Huaxing withdrew his gaze.
The report finally ended, and after a round of applause, the next step was to move freely.
Chen Xiao went to take care of the things that the teacher wanted to disinfect, the teacher really had them, and many students in the team had blisters on their feet, so the teacher was also very experienced, and the disinfection was prepared, the only deficiency was that there was no iodine, only stimulating disinfectant alcohol.
Chen Xiao looked at the bottle of alcohol cotton ball in her hand, it hurt to think about it, she walked up to Yuan Huaxing and squatted down.
"It may hurt a little, you bear with it."
Yuan Huaxing nodded slightly, already biting his lower lip with strength.
Chen Xiao took out one of the alcohol cotton balls, his hand paused for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and gently dipped it on the largest broken skin on Yuanhuaxing's feet.
There was a scream that startled everyone around.
Chen Xiao followed her scream and couldn't help but pinch her arm.
Yuan Huaxing gritted her teeth, she really couldn't control herself, because after the blister broke the skin, it was full of tender meat, and it was coated with alcohol, which was unimaginably painful, but fortunately, it was only a sharp pain, and the broken place began to get hot, and there was a throbbing pain.
Yuan Huaxing saw Chen Xiao pinching herself vigorously for a moment, and she was a little puzzled in her heart, she felt that she was afraid that her scream would also scare Chen Xiao.
"Doesn't it hurt? But there are still a few more, can it be done? ”
Yuan Huaxing didn't want Chen Xiao to worry about her, although it really hurt, he still smiled easily.
"It's a pity that I don't have the long braids of the Qing Dynasty, or I can bite into my mouth and endure it, or give me your braids to bite, okay?"
Chen Xiao was still worried about Yuan Huaxing's pain, but she was amused by her unobtrusive words.
Yuan Huaxing looked at Chen Xiao and finally smiled, it was a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Chen Xiao, you look so good when you smile."
Chen Xiao didn't go to see Yuan Huaxing.
"I'm going to sterilize the other wounds."
"It's okay, you can get it, I don't hurt."
The alcohol cotton ball was pressed down again, Yuan Huaxing covered his mouth with his hand, his face was flushed, Chen Xiao did not hesitate at all, and all the poisons were eliminated.
"Your feet are like this, don't leave next, I'll carry you on my back."
"I'm actually not that squeamish, aren't you tired of carrying me?"
"Not tired." Chen Xiao replied simply.
Yuan Huaxing was a little silent.
"I'm really not tired, I can't run out of strength, don't worry that I can't carry you." Chen Xiao said.
"No, I just remembered what I told you before, I want to protect you, and suddenly I feel so incompetent, and I have to let you carry me." Yuan Huaxing's expression was a little melancholy.
The teacher began the roll call, telling the students to pack up and get ready to go.
Chen Xiao looked at Yuan Huaxing, and there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes.
"Stop thinking about the old days, isn't it important now?"
Yuan Huaxing raised his head, pondering this sentence, as if he understood something, and suddenly became happy.
Chen Xiao has already started to pack his things.
It was not very far from the field where they were stationed, Chen Xiao carried Yuanhuaxing on his back all the way, this time the teacher couldn't help it, and came over to inquire, and the teacher helped them take their backpacks.
The teacher didn't expect Chen Xiao to be a girl, why would it be so easy to carry people, and she was afraid that she would be able to do it, so she asked her male classmates to help, but Chen Xiao refused.
Towards noon, the sun was shining, and a spring breeze blew, blowing the ends of someone's hair.
Chen Xiao carried Yuan Huaxing on his back, pinned some of the hair that slipped off behind her ear with one hand, Yuan Huaxing saw a bruise on her arm, she couldn't help but be shocked, it should be the one that Chen Xiao pinched just now, why is it so serious.
"Chen Xiao, isn't my scream just now too scary, how can you still pinch yourself purple."
"No, it's not."
"Then why are you pinching yourself? You can still pinch so hard, you are too yourself. ”
Chen Xiao looked at his arm as he walked, and then looked into the distance.
"It must hurt to sprinkle wine on your wound, I just want to be with you."
Whether it was Yuan Huaxing's heart or his nose, a sour feeling came up.
Chen Xiao also drank the porridge she gave for her kindness, but she obviously couldn't eat.
Chen Xiao felt that Yuan Huaxing seemed to be rubbing something with his hand.
"Don't you think you're still crying?"
Yuan Huaxing hurriedly wiped away his tears, and said angrily.
"What's the matter, I've always been like this since I met you, I'm a strong person, and I hate crying the most."
"Then don't wipe your snot on me."
Yuan Huaxing instantly burst into laughter.
"You have carried me all the way, and my prestige has been lost, a classmate over there just now said..."
"Say what?"
"Say I'm the woman behind you."
Chen Xiao's pretty face couldn't help but laugh.
Yuan Huaxing wiped his tears and smiled.
"What's the woman behind it, I'm obviously the waste behind you now."
Although Chen Xiao didn't lose her smile, there was always something blocking her heart. If there is no such fate, how good it would be to keep going with Yuan Huaxing like this.
Soon, the team reached the field where it was to be stationed.
Just after the spring equinox in March, only a few small grasses sprout on the earth, and there is a large red willow forest in the distance, coiled together.
And the most refreshing thing is that the blue sky is like a wash, the sky does not have a trace of impurities, it is clear and blue, and it is reflected in the heart.
The teacher instructed the students to start building a simple tent, and a wave of students dug pits in the ground to build stoves to prepare pots, and planned to cook lunch.
It was not easy to build a tent, but fortunately, there were a few students who were very hands-on, and after setting up their tents, they helped other students to get it quickly.
These tents, large and small, are scattered in the field, forming a small camp.
Some tents can accommodate three or four people, and smaller ones can accommodate two people, and Chen Xiao and Yuan Huaxing were assigned to small tents.
Yuan Huaxing first tried the moisture-proof mat in the tent, and lay on it to stretch his body, although the mat was a little thin, but overall it was not bad.
She lay down and sighed softly, and Chen Xiao sat aside and looked at her.
"Isn't it too thin and uncomfortable?"
Yuan Huaxing actually suddenly felt that she had been a blessing in disguise, and unconsciously came down this way, and Chen Xiao was getting closer again, she was very afraid that after going back, Chen Xiao would worry too much about herself as before, and she would be far away and close to herself.
"It's a little thin, but camping in the wild, it's not as good as at home, so it's okay."
As soon as Yuan Huaxing finished speaking, there was a smell of vegetables outside, and the teacher began to shout, asking everyone to bring their own dishes and chopsticks.
Chen Xiao hesitated, she didn't know that Yuan Huaxing had learned that she couldn't eat, so she was afraid that Yuan Huaxing would find out, but if she did, I was afraid it would be a bad thing.
She thought about how to avoid the question of eating, because she didn't expect to be in a tent with her during this training.
Just as he was about to say something to Yuan Huaxing, Yuan Huaxing took out the lunch box in his bag.
"I see that you came out this time, and you didn't even bring your bag, you can take my lunch box, and tell the teacher after the meal is ready, this is what we ate together."
Chen Xiao has no choice, the teacher's level can be ignored, but how to deceive Yuan Huaxing in a while.
She originally thought that she would let Yuan Huaxing eat it first, and then the remaining half would go out and throw it away.
But with this guy's character, I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will either force her to eat first, or I must eat together, Chen Xiao has a headache, and regrets that he should bring a bag and pack a set of utensils out.
Chen Xiao went to the teacher to get the food, and when he came back, he was a little sad.
Yuan Huaxing knew that Chen Xiao couldn't eat, so in order not to let her doubt what she knew, he said naturally.
"You eat first."
Chen Xiao was stunned, and sure enough, he asked her to eat first.
"Why did I eat first?"
Yuan Huaxing showed a pompous expression.
"I'm treated by the emperor now, and those who have carried me on my back have to try poison for the emperor when eating, hehe, there is a request, you take it out and eat it, or the tent will smell like it."
This sentence is actually full of contradictions, whether it is a joke or not, but for Chen Xiao, it is an opportunity.
"I'm really hungry, then you're welcome, go out and test you for poison." Chen Xiao's heart was light, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A short time later, she came back with a lunch box.
Yuan Huaxing sat on the floor mat, took the lunch box, and asked Chen Xiao in order to pretend.
"Is the food delicious?"
Chen Xiao nodded, "It's pretty good." ”
Yuan Huaxing opened the lunch box and found that there were still more than half dishes, and it seemed that Chen Xiao didn't throw it away.
The dish is scrambled eggs with cucumber slices and vinegared cabbage, and more than half of the steamed buns are placed on top.
It looks good, Yuan Huaxing just took a bite of scrambled eggs, his mouth couldn't close at once, the scrambled eggs were half-contained in his mouth, frowning, and it looked like he was about to spit it out.
"My God, who made this dish, Chen Xiao, fortunately you..."
When the words came to his mouth, Yuan Huaxing almost missed it, and he was about to change his words.
This is the one who killed the salt seller, and I don't know who made it, or it was not fried evenly, and it was already salty and bitter, and the tongue was pickled.
Chen Xiao was puzzled, looking at Yuan Huaxing's appearance of spitting out, not knowing what she was going to say.
Yuan Huaxing hurriedly ate a bite of steamed buns and swallowed them.
"This dish is really good!"
"Oh!" Chen Xiao didn't know what it tasted like, but he always felt that something was wrong.
Yuan Huaxing ate carefully, fortunately, the vinegared cabbage was okay, and the amount of dishes was actually not much, and the two dishes were obviously not fried by the same person.
Finally barely finished eating, Yuan Huaxing quickly took out the kettle from his bag, unscrewed it, and habitually wanted Chen Xiao to drink it first.
Halfway through the kettle, he suddenly thought of something and held it up in the air and stopped.
Chen Xiao was about to break out in a cold sweat, when he saw Yuan Huaxing put the kettle back and drank it with a bang.
Chen Xiao secretly thought, why is Yuan Huaxing a little weird? There is also a delusion that she is very deliberate, does she know something?
This made Chen Xiao feel a little uneasy in her heart, and before she could think about it, she saw Yuan Huaxing looking at the place behind her in horror with two big eyes.
