Chapter 20: Rubbing Rice?
"Cut, two big men grinding and chirping, disgusting to death."
Seeing Yang Fan helping Mo Yuan back, Mo Linxue pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, and just secretly wiped her eyes when no one was paying attention.
ยทยทยท
The streets here were as depressed as ever, and there was no life at all, and as the time drew closer to noon, the sun above them became more and more intense, and the people who were hungry and thirsty and had fled all night exhausted themselves were unable to walk.
"Brother, I can't walk." Mo Linxue followed Mo Yuan and the others a little shakingly, and she was the only one among the people who was neither injured nor supporting others, but it seemed that she was the first one who couldn't hold on.
Mo Yuan stopped, and waited for Mo Linxue, who was at the end of the team, to slowly follow, raised his hand and touched his sister's head, but now such a move made him feel very tired, and he didn't feel anything when his spirit was constantly stimulated, once he relaxed, this tired feeling really kept surging up like a tide.
"Then let's find a place to rest, you see there's a pool over there, let's go there and rest."
Mo Yuan pulled Mo Linxue and walked towards a wide open space in a daze, and in the middle of the open space was a pool of water spraying water.
Wait, pools?
Mo Yuan suddenly came to his senses, and at a glance it was really a pool, and he could already feel the breath of water from the oncoming wind.
"Sister, we've found water."
Mo Yuan turned his head excitedly, but what came into his eyes was the empty street, Mo Linxue had broken free of his hand and ran to the edge of the pool at some point, he didn't even notice it, maybe he was too excited just now.
"This girl."
Mo Yuan shook his head, and with Yang Fan's support, he followed the invention to the pool.
Looking at the crystal clear water, Mo Yuan felt his throat dry for a while, and couldn't wait to pick up a handful of water with both hands and send it to his mouth to suck greedily.
Feeling the feeling of the slightly sweet water flowing through his throat, Mo Yuan felt that his whole body was alive again, and after drinking enough water, he felt that his abdomen was not full at all, and it was no wonder that it was almost noon and they still hadn't eaten the slightest.
"Yang Fan, put the winter melon in."
Mo Yuan wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth, looked at Yang Fan on the side and said.
Yang Fan was obviously stunned, and spread his hands at Mo Yuan, indicating that the winter melon was not with him at all, and nodded at Mo Linxue, who had drunk enough on the side and was taking water out to wash his face.
"Linxue, where is the winter melon?"
Mo Yuan understood what Yang Fan meant, turned his head and asked his sister, Mo Linxue was washing her face, and she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth without raising her head.
"Hmmm... It's already thrown inside. โ
Mo Yuan lowered his head and searched carefully, he had indeed thrown it into this pool, but this winter melon was a little small and he really didn't notice it.
I don't know if it's a mental effect, staring at this small and delicate winter melon for a while, Mo Yuan feels that this winter melon seems to be slowly getting bigger.
Is this a sponge? Does the rain swell?
I don't know what the basis for this winter melon is, Mo Yuan simply didn't care about it so much, found a park chair next to the pool for passers-by to rest, and lay down and squinted, anyway, it is said that it takes an hour for this thing to bubble up, according to the ancient Chinese algorithm, an hour is now two hours, rather than waiting there dryly, it is better to squint for a while, I haven't slept at all since last night, and sleepiness has already sprung up in my heart.
"Let's take a break now, I haven't rested since last night, and my body can't bear it."
Leaving a word, Mo Yuan felt that his eyelids had become heavy, and the unstoppable sleepiness led him to sleep.
Looking at Mo Yuan, who had fallen asleep after lying down for a while, everyone didn't say anything, indeed, they were really a little sleepy.
Yang Fan walked to another park chair and planned to lie down and sleep for a while, but saw Mo Linxue staring at him with watery eyes, which made him very embarrassed.
"That... Why don't you sleep here? โ
Yang Fan asked tentatively, and Mo Linxue immediately jumped over happily and found a comfortable position to lie down and fall asleep.
"Thank you, fat brother~"
Looking at Mo Linxue, who fell asleep after leaving a word of thanks, Yang Fan couldn't wait to raise his hand to give himself a slap, is it time to be a gentleman? There is only such a total of two chairs in this bird place, and now they are occupied, where can I sleep?
Go farther and find a chair to sleep in? Yang Fan thought about the weirdness of this place, forget it, walked back to the pool with an aggrieved face, sat down slowly with his back against the pool, and closed his eyes, sure enough, it was still not very comfortable, Fa Ming made a comparison in his heart.
Fa Ming, who had been standing silently on the side, saw that everyone was asleep, so he sat down cross-legged on the spot with his robe and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
In some unknown corner that no one noticed, under the shadow of the sun, a pair of red eyes were greedily staring at the people lying and sleeping in the square.
I tried to raise my feet to get closer to everyone, but I didn't step out of the shadows as if I was afraid of something, and finally I seemed to give up and turned away, accompanied by the sound of chains being dragged, but everyone was asleep and far away, so no one noticed...
"Brother..."
"Who? Who's talking? โ
Mo Yuan stood alone in the boundless darkness, looking around blankly.
"Brother..."
It was the same voice again, and the immature female voice seemed to have heard it somewhere.
"Who are you? Where is this? โ
Mo Yuan asked loudly into the darkness.
"Brother... It's me..."
The voice was a little ethereal, with a hint of sadness, and Mo Yuan couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he heard it.
"Who the hell are you? Why does it sound familiar to me? โ
Mo Yuan felt some pain in his head, and the coldness spread from his chest became more and more obvious...
"Brother, brother! Wake up! Elder brother! โ
Mo Yuan opened his eyes in confusion and saw Mo Linxue shaking his body incessantly, with an anxious look on his face.
"Great, brother, you're finally awake, don't you know..."
Listening to Mo Yuan's eyes gradually fell into confusion, watching his sister's mouth open and close but not hearing a word.
The voice of the little girl just now echoed in my mind all the time, I must have heard it somewhere, but where?
"Brother!!
Mo Linxue yelled at Mo Yuan's ear, which frightened Mo Yuan into a burst of excitement.
"Linxue, what's the matter with you, your ears are about to deaf you."
Mo Yuan plucked his ears and looked at his sister with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong with me? And ask me what's going on? Mo Linxue felt that she was about to explode, just now she said a lot in Nabalabala, and when she looked back, she saw her brother staring straight ahead in a daze, and suddenly became angry, and came to the side of her brother and yelled loudly, and now he actually asked himself what was going on?
"Did you hear all that I told you just now?"
"What? Did you just speak? Mo Yuan's mind was still a little muddy and not very sober.
"Amitabha, let the poor monk talk about it."
Seeing that Mo Linxue had a tendency to go berserk, Fa Ming hurriedly came out to play a round, signaled Mo Linxue to calm down, and then pointed to Mo Yuan and pointed behind him.
I saw that there were three young men, two men and one woman, a big man with a lot of muscles, a man with polite eyes and a woman with a cold face who didn't say a word, they were cooking something there with a pot at this time, and the strong water vapor continued to emit white smoke upward, and when he saw Mo Yuan, he stretched out his hand and waved to say hello.
Mo Yuan retracted his gaze and looked at Fa Ming curiously: "Who are these three?" โ
At this time, Yang Fan pushed away Fa Ming and said excitedly: "We woke up just now, and the time was almost up, so we fished out that winter melon, not to mention that the size of the thing after the good guy finished soaking." โ
Speaking of this, Yang Fan stretched out his hands and drew a big circle out of thin air, and compared with Mo Yuan: "Such a big winter melon, a few of us were stunned at that time, this is definitely not a species on the earth, to be honest, I am a little skeptical about whether this thing is a winter melon or not." โ
Looking at the fat man in front of him, Mo Yuan felt that his head was starting to hurt a little, and he couldn't help but interrupt the fat man who was going to start a long talk about the winter melon species: "Hey, hey, it's almost done, let's talk about it, what's going on with those three people?" โ
"Those three?" Yang Fan was a little curious, and glanced in the direction Mo Yuan pointed before he had a suddenly realized expression.
"Oh, you said that the three people, they were passing by and saw this winter melon and planned to come to squat rice, but it doesn't matter if it's not in vain, they don't know what to do, they added up to bring a backpack of compressed biscuits and canned meat, oh, see, that pot is pulled out of somewhere they don't know where it came from."
"Rubbing rice?" Mo Yuan looked at the three people who were busy over there, although they were all busy with their work, whether it was the big man who looked full of muscles, the young man who was studying with a book in his hand, and the woman who tasted the salty soup, they all paid attention to the surrounding environment from time to time, and their eyes were even more focused on them, and whenever one person looked away, the other person happened to take over and look at them.
It seems that the other party is also guarding his side, and it doesn't look like an ordinary person, it should be the kind of profession that deals with death all year round.
"Name." Mo Yuan said lightly.
"What?" Yang Fan was a little stunned, and suddenly stood on the spot.
Fa Ming really couldn't stand it anymore, shook his head slightly, and said: "That big man is called Qinghu, the one with eyes is called Feiwen, and the woman next to him is called Yue Xinru, it doesn't feel like his real name." โ
"Feiwen, Qinghu, Yue Yuxin?" Mo Yuan muttered a few names in his mouth: "Indeed, it shouldn't be their real name, did they talk to you about their profession?" โ
Fa Ming shook his head: "No, I didn't blindly ask, it didn't seem very polite." โ
After Mo Yuan basically understood the situation, he called the fat man and motioned to the other party to help him up, Yang Fan seemed to be a little unresponsive for a while, and hurriedly helped Mo Yuan up from the chair, and just planned to continue to support Mo Yuan and walk over, but Mo Yuan gently pushed his hand away, and he was a little stunned on the spot.
"It's okay, I can still walk these few steps, don't leave too bad an impression on the other party when we meet for the first time." When he walked past Yang Fan, Mo Yuan whispered in his ear.
Although it was accompanied by pain when he didn't take a step, it seemed to be less than at the beginning, or Mo Yuan had gradually adapted to the pain, and when he came to the three people who were burning something, Mo Yuan looked down at the pot, and there were occasionally a few pieces of meat in the soup based on winter melon floating in the water.
"Wait a minute, you'll be ready to eat in no time."
The young man with eyes put down the book in his hand, looked at Mo Yuan and said, Mo Yuan nodded slightly in understanding, and then stared at the young man's eyes and asked, "May I ask if you are killers?" Mercenary? Or a military man? โ
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the muscular man and the woman changed slightly, the muscular man stood up from the stool suddenly, and the woman's hand also reached for the boots on his feet, and the man with the eyes didn't make any movement just stared at Mo Yuan's eyes.
Mo Yuan smiled: "Don't worry everyone, I don't have any malicious intentions, I don't care what your identity is, it's also a kind of fate to be able to have a meal together in this place today, it's just that I have a friend who has been injured, no matter which profession I mentioned before, I'm afraid that you should have wound medicine on your body." โ
The eyed man stared at Mo Yuan's eyes for a while before he shook his head at his companion for an undetectable look, the muscular man didn't sit back and just stood like this and continued to stir up the dishes in the pot, the woman's hand was not only removed from her feet but also tasted there with a soup spoon from nowhere, all this Mo Yuan didn't say anything, just stood and waited for the other party's reply.
After confirming that Mo Yuan had no malicious intent, the man with the eyes was not stingy, only to see that he pulled the backpack next to him and turned out a bottle of wound medicine from it and handed it to Mo Yuan, Mo Yuan took it and looked at the bottle, it was a brand he had never seen, and he didn't know which country's text it was on it Anyway, he couldn't read it, and it seemed to see Mo Yuan's doubts, and the man with the eyes explained: "The best wound medicine, the one developed internally is not for sale." โ
Mo Yuan's eyes shrank slightly, it seemed that he was still a member of the organization, but then he smiled and handed out his hand to the man: "Thank you, my name is Mo Yuan." โ
"Fivin."
Fei Wen stretched out his right hand and shook it with Mo Yuan.
"Hahaha, my name is Qinghu."
The muscular man next to him saw the two shaking hands, laughed heartily, and stretched out his right hand to shake Mo Yuan.
"Yue Xinru."
The woman just reported her name with a cold face and then ignored Mo Yuan, and continued to taste the soup in the pot, Mo Yuan's eyelids only twitched, I am afraid that this kind of taste will be able to drink enough if this product has not been burned, Mo Yuan didn't think much about it, took the wound medicine and walked back, looking at the back of Mo Yuan leaving, Yue Xinru gave Fei Wen an inquiring look, and Fei Wen shook his head slightly.
Pulling back to everyone, Mo Yuan handed the wound medicine to Fa Ming: "Oh, monk, go and apply it, don't hold it up." โ
"Mo Yuan, there won't be a problem with this thing, right?" Yang Fan said worriedly on the side, Mo Yuan was stunned, and thought about some truth, why didn't he think of this aspect just now, just wanted to withdraw the wound medicine in his hand but was grabbed by Fa Mingyi, feeling Mo Yuan's puzzled gaze, Fa Ming just smiled and didn't say anything.
Taking the wound medicine from Mo Yuan's hand, Fa Ming carefully opened the lid and took out some of it and sniffed it in front of his nose, then rubbed it with his hand to observe it carefully.
"The best wound medicine, there are several medicinal herbs in it, and the poor monk doesn't recognize it, but in terms of medicinal properties, it shouldn't be bad."
Fa Ming sighed, then turned around and untied the robe on his body, and began to apply wound medicine to his chest.
Fa Ming untied his robe, Mo Linxue turned around with a little blush, but Mo Yuan looked at Fa Ming's somewhat bloody back in a daze, is this guy so badly injured.
The three people who were burning the soup in the distance saw that Fa Ming's back changed slightly, and the monk was talking and laughing with them just now, and he couldn't see that he was seriously injured, and now he didn't know that he was undressed, no wonder that Mo Yuan came over and opened his mouth to ask for medicine, if he didn't take care of this injury, he was afraid that this monk would not last tomorrow.
It seemed that the part of his chest was painted, Fa Ming turned around and saw Mo Yuan, who was staring at him blankly, and smiled indifferently: "Donor, it's okay for the poor monk, although it doesn't matter if you have this medicine, it's not a big deal, but the poor monk's back can't reach it, please ask the donor to help." โ
Looking at Fa Ming Mo Yuan, who was smiling and handing over the wound medicine, with an obvious depression in his chest, he really didn't know what to say, so he had to nod and wait for Fa Ming to turn around and carefully apply the wound medicine to his back.
"Feiwen, did you see that?"
Yue Xinru stared at the pot in front of her and asked without replying.
"Well, the sunken part is like a palm, and there is still a trace of black gas on it, but for some reason the black gas seems to be gradually dissipating, and now only an untraceable part remains."
Fei Wen pushed his glasses up and continued to look at the book in his hand.
"Looks like they've met those..."
"Isn't this normal, haven't the group of people I met before also experienced it, but that group of people looked even more miserable, tsk, stumps and broken arms."
Qinghu teased with a smile on his face: "I still plan to rob us with more people, I really don't understand how that kind of goods came to life." โ
"Okay, let's say a few words, it's better to cause less trouble in this kind of place, the few you killed before made me feel very bad."
Fei Wen said Qinghu with some dissatisfaction, Qinghu touched his head with one hand and smiled heartily: "Haha, don't blame me, who told them to find death." โ
It seems that he has known Qinghu's character for a long time, and Fei Wen was not surprised by his answer, but sighed a little helplessly.
"Feiwen, except for the fat man and the girl next to him, those people seem to have good quality."
Seeming to understand what Yue Xinru meant, Fei Wen shook his head slightly: "Don't jump to conclusions too early, let's observe it again." โ
