Chapter Seventy-Four: Freedom

This hunger strike protest was directly declared a failure in the early morning of this day - except for the first four girls who did not take the bowl, and the people after all got up one after another, holding the bowl and receiving the vegetable paste as usual.

On the way out to work, Ai Songqing still followed behind Bai Ling, and the two were taken to the top floor again with yesterday's high-rise building, carrying barrels and rags, and then began to work under the watchful eye of turtle paws.

Ai Songqing continued to use his peripheral vision to look at the situation on Bai Ling's side, and felt that Bai Ling was doing his work without distractions, and when he was lying on the ground and wiping the corner of the table, he was even humming a little song......

This surprised Ai Songqing.

With two people working together, things are done quickly.

I don't know if it's because of the morning incident, the turtle paws guarding them today are not particularly embarrassing, and as soon as noon arrives, they throw their steamed buns directly over.

The two sat down in the corner, and Bai Ling took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, "I kept two of the raw fried in the morning, do you want it?" โ€

"Ah......" Ai Songqing was stunned for a moment, "Thank you." โ€

"I wanted to share one of you in the morning, but in front of everyone, it seems to be a bit of a hatred for you."

After Bai Ling finished speaking, he swallowed the other in one gulp, and continued inarticulately, "...... It's just that it's cold now, and it's not as tasty. โ€

Ai Songqing lowered his head and tasted it, only to feel that the bottom and skin of this fried raw fry were very thick, which was completely different from what he had eaten at home before.

Although the taste is much worse, it is ...... compared to what I have eaten in the past few days. The taste of this minced meat is really shivering.

"Boling...... Aren't you afraid? Ai Songqing couldn't help but ask again.

"Huh?"

"You did that this morning......," Ai Songqing whispered, "they ...... will isolate you. โ€

Bai Ling swallowed the raw frying and began to lower his head and pull the old steamed bun in his hand as hard as iron.

She didn't look up, but suddenly asked, "Has Song Qing read some books and written books like prisoner of war camps, or actual records?" โ€

"Prisoner of war camp?" Ai Songqing shook his head, "No." โ€

Bai Ling sighed lightly, "I once read a book with a piece of advice in it, and I still remember ......"

Ai Songqing quieted down and waited earnestly for Bai Ling's next step.

"I don't remember the original sentence clearly, but it was to the effect of, 'If possible, you must shave your face every day, whether with a sharp knife or glass, or even with your last bite of food for a blade.'" โ€

Bai Ling looked at Ai Songqing, "Can Songqing guess why?" โ€

Ai Songqing frowned slightly.

"Shaving ......," she said with some uncertainty, "...... is polite?" โ€

Bai Ling shook his head.

"I just don't want to make life too hard, so I always have to shave my face and keep a thought."

Bai Ling snorted out laughing, but shook his head anyway.

Song Qing guessed a few more, Bai Ling denied them one by one, she finally sighed and said, "I'll reveal the answer, it's to make people look younger." โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Younger? โ€

"Yes, shaving your face every day can make you look younger and able to work." "The book says that if one day you have blisters on the soles of your feet, making you look like you are limping and the enemy sees them, they will send you to the gas chambers the next dayโ€”well, a way to execute useless prisoners of war."

"So they have to shave their faces every day, and they have to straighten their backs to work, this is the only way for them to live."

Bai Ling rubbed his hands, rubbing the starch off his fingertips.

"Who do you think is the biggest threat to me right now, the girls who live in the same house?"

Ai Songqing thought for a moment, and just as he wanted to speak, Bai Ling had already continued.

"Apparently not.

"Now people are stabbing ...... We are all fish. She whispered, "I got so many people out of the whip this morning, and I begged for an extra bowl of vegetable paste...... Even if they didn't understand it at the time, they should have understood it after a few more days of work here. โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Understand what? Ai Songqing was still a little ignorant.

"Know where your way out is."

Ai Songqing was still a little puzzled, but at least one thing she was sure of at the moment - Bai Ling seemed to be ...... about what she had been nervous about all mornings I really don't really care.

What Bai Ling was watching seemed to be something higher and more distant.

What is it, Ai Songqing can't see clearly for the time being, she can't help but sigh, "I'm still a little worried......"

"Don't worry I'm isolated, I'm not with them in the first place," Bai Ling said softly, "and even if everything you worry about happens, it's not isolated." โ€

Ai Songqing was stunned for a moment, "...... What's that? โ€

"It's reverse screening." Bai Ling glanced at Ai Songqing and laughed, "Aren't you screened out by me?" โ€

"...... me?" Ai Songqing was a little surprised, and when he came back to his senses, he waved his hand and said, "I'm stupid, I can't help much." โ€

"Are you stupid, I don't think," Bai Ling said softly, "I chatted with Songqing last night, and I felt that you probably read a lot of books...... It's not quite the same as your sister. โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ No, no. Ai Songqing instinctively shook his head, "I've only seen a little bit of it, and I can't get into the hall of elegance." โ€

"Do you know how to play the piano?" Bai Ling asked again, "Or some other instrument." โ€

"Yes...... Only understand a little. Ai Songqing replied truthfully, "When I was a child, my family invited a master, so I roughly learned pipa and yaoqin, and I can also do a little piccolo." โ€

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

She stretched out her hand and gestured, "Is the 'little' in your sentence similar to the 'little' you just said that you had only read a little bit of a book?" โ€

Ai Songqing laughed, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Bai Ling tilted his face, "I'm envious, I won't do any of this." โ€

Ai Songqing tilted her head slightly, and only regarded Bai Ling's "no" as a humble remark, although she still didn't know what Bai Ling's origin was...... But come to think of it, if there is a little bit of a family, then the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting always have to pick one to learn.

What's more, a girl like Bai Ling, who is generous and calm, again, is also a down-and-out famous family.

There was silence between the two for a while, only the noon sunlight slowly sprinkled down, warm and bright, and people wanted to be lazy.

Bai Ling leaned back, adjusted his angle slightly, put his back against the wall, and then stretched his feet straight under the sun today, and finally stretched out quite luxuriously.

Ai Songqing turned his head and looked at Bai Ling.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ling touched his face.

"I always feel like you're at ease here...... Ai Songqing laughed, "Is it my delusion?" โ€

Bai Ling also smiled, and she looked up at the brilliant clouds in the distance.

"It's not a delusion," she said with a smile, "it's really comfortable to be here." โ€
