Chapter III

When I woke up the next day, I was already lying on a soft bed, compared to every day on the construction site only rags to block the wind, sleeping on the cold ground, sleeping on the bed was not too comfortable.

At this time, Xi opened the door of the room and walked in with a plate of food.

"It's the food they delivered, with clean water, rice, and green dishes," Xi handed the plate to Chen, "By the way, there are some fruits in there, and there are two or three other than apples that I haven't seen before." ”

Seeing Xi's satisfied expression, Chen immediately recalled what he had experienced yesterday.

"Tsk, no matter." He picked up the plate and grabbed it with his hands.

"Brother," Xi shouted, "there's a spoon." ”

"Huh?" Chen saw the metal spoon on the edge of the plate, touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly, there is not much food on the construction site, it would be good to have these meals, and there will be cutlery.

They spent the whole morning getting acquainted with the new dwelling, where every item had instructions on it, and it was in human language, but because they didn't know much of the language, they had to look at the pictures to learn how to use it.

They spent a whole day trying and trying again, and finally they figured out all the objects in the house, large and small

As night fell, the city in the distance became noisy, and they sat down on the sofa and chatted after dinner.

"Xi, are you tired?" Morning asked.

"I'm not tired, you've been busy all the time, I want to do something and don't let me." Xi grumbled.

"Just look at it, this kind of hard work, leave it to me in the future." Chen touched Xi's head, "Okay, let's talk about something serious, Xi, have you thought about yesterday's incident carefully?" ”

"No, I was tired, scared, and my mind was so muddled that I couldn't even breathe watching them walk around us." Thinking of yesterday's scene, she couldn't help but shudder.

"The man's behavior is very strange, and, I'm pretty sure, the human body doesn't glow, and the human body can't fly, and I feel that his body is very strong." Chen analyzed seriously.

"Yes, when I used to work, when I saw someone fall from two floors, I could break my head and bleed, but he rushed down from such a distance, so high, and smashed a big hole in the ground, but there was no wound on the surface of his body." Looking back, Xi also felt that this person was not simple.

"When he put his hand on my head, I felt something move inside my body." Morning recalls how he felt.

"Huh? Wouldn't that be very uncomfortable? Xi suddenly became calm.

"No, no, on the contrary, it felt very comfortable, like a special force that drove all the exhaustion out of my body." Chen explained, "I really care about these, as well as the 'locks' he said, I have a lot of 'locks' in my body, what does it mean?" Also, who are 'they'? ”

"I don't know, we don't have these things in our lives." Xi propped her chin and said helplessly.

"Then we'll have to start with this book, but..."Chen's eyes shifted to the table, on which was the book that the man gave him yesterday, unfortunately, he had already turned it over, it was full of words, but they didn't know any language, and they didn't know what to do after thinking about it.

"Perhaps... We can ask for help from other humans. Xi then thought that the room next to them was similar to their residence, and there must be humans living in it, and they had come much earlier than herself, so maybe she could ask them for help.

"Hmm... You can give it a try," Chen agreed with this method, "wait for tomorrow, and rest today." ”

"Okay," Xi was about to go to bed, but she suddenly remembered something, "Brother, should we go and rinse our bodies?" Xi took off her badge, and the outer layer of clothing quickly dissipated, leaving only a thin layer of cloth covering her body.

"Well, I just want to use these new things, too." Chen also took off the badge, and after the outer layer of clothing dissipated, a layer of cloth on his upper body fell off directly, and the upper half of his body was unobstructed.

The long-term work did not make his physical fitness too low, although he was a little emaciated, but the tight muscles wrapped his body, Gude used some special means to make the sunlight not so strong, so their bodies did not receive too much sunlight, only the dirt and subtle scratches left traces on their bodies, perhaps out of their own girlish heart, Xi looked at his brother naked, his face was slightly red.

"What's wrong?" Noticing that something was wrong with her sister's expression, Chen asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that seeing my brother without clothes, I feel like my heart is beating a little fast..."Her voice became smaller and quieter, and gradually fell silent.

"Let's go," Chen led Xi directly into the bathroom, Xi didn't know what was wrong with him, Chen didn't think much about it, and went into the bathroom with Chen to adjust the water temperature to the right time, and rushed the faucet directly to Xi's head, helping her comb her hair while rushing, the fluffy and messy hair gradually fell vertically under the rinse of the water, and the water had turned into gray muddy water when it fell to the ground, and there was soon an extra layer of fog in the room.

"Sure enough, even if it rains, your body will still be very dirty," Chen said helplessly, "Wash it slowly, Xi, turn around, I'll give you a backwash." ”

"I'll help my brother punch his head first." Xi snatched the sprinkler and raised it to face Chen, who was more than a head taller than Xi, and the old man who stood on tiptoe and stretched out his hands could barely reach the top of Chen's head.

Seeing that she was struggling so hard, she simply turned her back and squatted down, and the two ended the bath by "supporting each other".

They found new clothes and other (pajamas) in the cupboard, and after putting on their clothes, they were ready to rest.

Chen went to bed, Xi got into Chen's arms like a kitten, Chen put the quilt on her, Xi had an inexplicable sense of security in Chen's arms, and soon fell asleep, they were like this when they were on the construction site, they held this little guy every morning, and fell asleep peacefully on the cold ground after a day's fatigue.

In the dark night, listening to Xi's heartbeat and feeling Xi's breathing, the belief in my heart was strengthened again, since I am the only support for this girl, then even if I fight for my life, I must protect her! Thinking so, he gradually fell asleep.

The next day, after getting up and having breakfast, they took the badge out of the house, there was almost no Gude on the road here, and there was only a car passing by, Chen chose the nearest household to knock on the door, but after a long time, there was no response.

They guessed that there was probably no one living here, and then knocked on the doors along the road, but no one opened the door, and finally one person opened them, but when Chen tried to negotiate, he showed a puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand what Chen was talking about.

Over and over again, either no one opened the door, or they couldn't communicate, slowly, the time was close to noon, they were a little irritable, Xi said that they wanted to go back, they had been looking for so long, not to mention help, there was no one who could communicate, which was very uncomfortable.

Just as they were about to give up, a voice came from not far away: "Hey, you two wait a minute." Chen and Xi turned around and saw two people not far behind them, one of them was the first human they met to open the door, and the other, that is, the person who called them, he was a middle-aged woman with a little wrinkles on her face, but her skin was very white, her hair was a little gray, and she was relatively tall.

Seeing that the two of them stopped, she walked slowly over with the man, and she smiled and said, "Both, I'm Christa Alves, you can call me Alves or Ms. Alves." ”

"Hello, my name is Chen, and this is my sister Xi." Chen replied politely.

"Hello, I'm Xi." Xi replied from behind Chen.

"The little girl is very afraid of the living, is your name only one word, is it really rare," after a brief greeting, she said, "It seems that you are new here, Andre said that you look like you need help, is that so?" ”

"Yes, Ms. Alves, we want to learn the language." Chen replied.

"Oh?" Alves looked surprised: "Really? Then you've got the right person. ”

Hearing this answer, the brother and sister were very happy, and Chen said, "Can you help us?" ”

"Of course," she said a few words to the people on the side, Chen Hexi couldn't understand, but after saying that, the people on the side left, "It's not good to chat on the road, I'll invite the two of you to my house to talk, please come with me." She was very enthusiastic to invite them to her home.
