Chapter 21: Teammates
"Haha, it's ripe, it's ripe, hey! Everybody over there has come to dinner! ”
Qinghu's rough voice was not restrained at all, and Mo Yuan, who had applied wound medicine to the monk, felt a slight tremor in the air, and seeing that Fa Ming's back was almost painted, Mo Yuan gently put on Fa Ming's robe and patted Fa Ming's shoulder.
"Okay, let's go, the monk will eat."
Fa Ming tidied up the robe on his body and turned around: "Thank you, donor." ”
Mo Yuan raised his hand and lightly hammered it on Fa Ming's right chest.
"That's what you see."
"Let's go, let's eat, brother, what are you inking?"
As soon as she heard about eating, Mo Linxue happily ran over and took Mo Yuan's hand and left, not forgetting to turn around and naughtily stick out her tongue at Yang Fan and Fa Ming: "If you don't hurry up, I'll finish eating." ”
"Cut, you can eat it after eating, I don't believe it if it's such a big pot."
Yang Fan was disdainful of Mo Linxue's remarks, but although he said so, his footsteps did not stop at all, and even faintly accelerated a little.
"Come on, come on, try my Qinghu's craftsmanship."
The rugged man took out a few ceramic bowls full of cracks, filled with a bowl of soup and handed it over, Mo Yuan looked at the bowl handed over and had the illusion that it would shatter as soon as he let go of his hand, and carefully reached out and took the bowl, although the bowl that looked like it would break at any time was actually quite reliable.
Holding it in the palm of his hand and feeling the temperature transmitted along the wall of the bowl, Mo Yuan had a feeling of being in a different world, the last time he drank hot soup was only yesterday, but everything changed in this short day, looking at the streets and alleys without a pedestrian in the distance, Mo Yuan had a feeling that everything he had experienced so far was just an appetizer, and he didn't know what was waiting for them in the future, he, can he protect his sister?
Ignoring Mo Yuan, who was thinking nonsense on the side, Qinghu handed everyone a bowl of soup in turn, and after seeing that everyone present was holding a bowl of hot soup in their hands, he laughed heartily a few times, and put down the spoon in his hand against the edge of the pot as soon as he gave it away.
"Eat and eat, it's not enough to be sheng again."
After speaking, he was not polite to everyone, he took out a big bowl, and he was not coquettish, scooped a bowl of soup from the pot and drank it in a big gulp.
Seeing this scene, everyone's brows furrowed a little, and before Mo Yuan and his party could say anything, it was the woman who spoke: "Qinghu!" Do you have a scruple about others? You're not the only one to eat! ”
Qinghu drank most of the bowl of soup in one gulp, wiped his mouth with his hand, and said hesitantly: "That... What's that... Didn't I give each of you a bowl in advance?"
Yue Xinru frowned when she heard this, and she said that why is this Qinghu uncharacteristically polite today, you must know that this guy is the master who licks his face and goes forward to eat nonsense, so he seems to be really face-saving today? No, no, I must have been surrounded by this big man who looked silly and stupid.
There were thousands of thoughts in his heart, but others seemed to be where Yue Xinru was drinking the soup coldly after saying a word, and she had no interest in talking anymore.
Fei Wen took out some compressed biscuits from his backpack and distributed them to everyone: "If you are not full just by drinking soup, when we came, we also said that it would not be in vain to rub your winter melon, eat some biscuits, this thing carries hunger." ”
Looking at the compressed biscuits in his hand, Qinghu was a little disgusted but did not refuse, unpacked the package and mixed the soup into his mouth, and squeezed out a few words from his mouth while eating: "Again..." It's all fast... Spit on..."
"Oh? Do you have an opinion about this meal? Fei Wen's body that had just turned suddenly stopped in place, and he held his eyes with his hand and looked back at Qinghu.
"Hmm... Ahem..."
Qinghu shook his head and waved his hands frantically, trying to explain, but he was choked by the compressed biscuits that had not yet been swallowed in his mouth.
"Okay, okay, don't tease Qinghu, no matter how delicious this thing is every day, you will get tired of eating it."
Seeing Qinghu's appearance, Yue Xinru didn't seem to be able to stand it, and opened her mouth lightly to help him out of the siege, hearing Yue Xinru's voice, Qinghu gratefully cast a look, but Yue Xinru nodded slightly and drank the soup casually.
"Forget it this time, I don't want to hear your dislike of food next time."
After speaking, Fei Wen silently returned to his seat, holding the bowl and drinking, a wave of manipulation made Mo Yuan and the others a little confused, Fa Ming said a word of Buddha and ignored them, tore open the packaging bag, took out the compressed biscuits, took a bite, chewed the compressed biscuits, Fa Ming's expression was a little strange, staring at the biscuits in his hand.
"Monk? What happened to you? You okay? ”
Seeing that Fa Ming's expression was wrong, Mo Yuan asked worriedly, is there something wrong with this compressed biscuit?
Fa Ming didn't speak, just shook his head, and nodded at Mo Yuan to signal Mo Yuan to eat too, Mo Yuan was a little curious, opened the outer packaging of the compressed biscuit and took a bite in his mouth, and suddenly a fragrance of plants from nature exploded directly in his mouth, and the smell of various vegetables was wrapped around the tip of his tongue, and even made people feel that he was in the early morning farm, and picked a handful of fresh vegetables with dew and put them in his mouth.
"This is a compressed biscuit?"
Swallowing the food in his mouth, Mo Yuan couldn't help but sigh, when did the taste of compressed biscuits be so good? The ones you used to eat were inferior products, right?
"Internal food, not for sale."
Fei Wen still said this coldly, but Yue Xinru next to her opened her mouth and said to them: "The production process is a bit complicated, and I can't understand it for a while, but this thing was really good when I first ate it, and we were also amazed when we first ate it, but..."
As if remembering some bad memories, Yue Xinru's quiet face had a hint of gnashing of teeth: "Have you ever tried to eat the same food every day, 365 days a year?" No matter how delicious it is..."
Fei Wen didn't know when he put down the food in his hand, and he didn't speak, just stared at Yue Xinru, Yue Xinru's voice became smaller and smaller, and then she simply didn't continue, lowered her head and ate the food in her hand silently.
Seeing this scene, Mo Yuan felt a little curious, and ignored his sister and Yang Fan, who were amazed by the compressed biscuits behind him, and carefully leaned over to Yue Xinru to sit down, and asked softly, "What's the matter with your Feiwen?" I feel that when it comes to the topic of food, the whole person's temperament has become a little different. ”
Yue Xinru cautiously glanced at Fei Wen with the peripheral light of her eyes, and saw that the latter was eating slowly and seriously with her head down, so she leaned around a little and whispered to Mo Yuan.
"He wasn't like this before, he knew that once he went on a mission, the entire fifteen-person team completely lost contact, a year has passed, and everyone thought that they were all killed, and they had already notified their families to prepare for the future, Feiwen came back alone in a mess, I never knew how he tolerated himself with a dirty situation so much about cleanliness."
Lowering her head and taking a sip of soup to moisten her throat, Yue Xinru continued:
"When he returned to the base, he didn't say anything when everyone asked him, just ate hard there, crying while eating, and none of the rest of his team came back, no one knew what they had experienced, but since then, Feiwen has been particularly unaccustomed to wasting food and disgusting people with food, obviously eating this compressed biscuit and almost vomiting..."
Listening to Yue Xinru's narration, Mo Yuan basically understood the reason for the matter, the reason why Feiwen's current character was formed was probably inextricably linked to the year he disappeared at that time and the death of all his teammates, as for what it was, he didn't know, but just guessing knew that it wouldn't be a good thing.
Yue Xinru said that she would not continue to talk about this, and Mo Yuan did not force it, although she still had some things that she didn't understand, and everyone could say it, if she continued to ask inch by inch, she would be a little embarrassed.
The next atmosphere is generally more harmonious, everyone has a word of chatter, and it didn't take long for a large pot of winter melon to boil meat to be eaten by everyone on this compressed biscuit, looking at the mess left behind, Mo Yuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, after being hungry for a long time, it was inevitable that he would not pay attention to the appearance of eating when he suddenly ate food, squatted down, stretched out his hand to tidy it up.
"Those things are found nearby, not ours."
Qinghu's somewhat rough voice came, and Mo Yuan was stunned for a moment, but then continued to move on his hands.
"This has nothing to do with who's or who's, you have to clean up by yourself, just let it go and hinder the city's appearance or something, I'm afraid it will cause us some other accidents, after all, this place has been weird everywhere since we came."
Fei Wen, who had been holding the book and watching, heard Mo Yuan's words, his eyes rarely moved away from the book, and he glanced at Mo Yuan lightly, Mo Yuan was a little inexplicable, and just wanted to ask what was going on, only to see Fei Wen put the book in his hand into his backpack, and didn't say anything and began to clean up the pots and pans.
Seeing that the two of them started to move, everyone was not idle, and they cleaned up the battlefield after the meal, and the tableware that Qinghu and others borrowed from nowhere were also packed and sent back by Qinghu, after all, it would be too inconvenient to act with so many things.
Originally, Qinghu was reluctant, and he thought that it would be a bit of a fuss to clean up and send it back to its original location, after all, when he took these things, he had observed that the house was clearly uninhabited.
However, reluctant to reluctantly, after agreeing to Feiwen, he still honestly sent the things back and put them in the original position one by one, he always has some complaints like this, and his temperament is relatively rough, but the promised things will still be implemented meticulously, and will not be involved in the slightest moisture.
As Qinghu kept complaining about something and leaving, what he didn't notice was that after he left, the original dust in the room disappeared without a trace, and there were a few blurred figures gritting their teeth looking at the neatly placed dishes, as if they sighed with some regret and disappeared into the darkness again...
"I don't know where you're going next, but what are your goals?"
Waiting for Qinghu to come back, Mo Yuan asked Feiwen.
"What's the goal, this place is weirdly tight, I can't even find a map, the only thing I can do now is to find a direction and keep going, let's get out of here first."
Fei Wen pushed his glasses, looked into Mo Yuan's eyes and said, Mo Yuan smiled slightly: "Since you don't have any specific goals, why don't we go together next?" It's always good to have more companions. ”
"It's nice to have more companions, but only if you're companions."
Fei Wen was not surprised by Mo Yuan's suggestion, but replied lightly, adding a few syllables to the word companion.
"Naturally, they are companions."
The smile on Mo Yuan's face did not diminish in the slightest, and he narrated in an affirmative tone.
"Hahaha, I'm back!"
When the two of them looked at each other without letting go, Qinghu's loud voice sounded from a long distance, and when he retracted his gaze to look in the direction where Qinghu came, Feiwen whispered: "Yes, but if I find something wrong, we won't show mercy." ”
Mo Yuan's eyes jumped when he heard this, as if there was something they didn't know about when he heard this, he stood and waited for a while, Qinghu finally ran to everyone's side, and then Mo Yuan asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
"Did you also come here last night? You people when you came? What is the first task? ”
Hearing Mo Yuan's question, Yue Xinru and Qinghu's faces inevitably changed a little, only Fei Wen did not have the slightest surprise at all, and stretched out his hand to stop the two who were about to say something, Fei Wen said lightly: "Indeed, it is good to act together and everyone to understand each other more, we came here last night inexplicably and were forced to accept a task by a strange voice, of course, some people tried to resist and did not accept the task, but the end was a little miserable." ”
Speaking of this, Fei Wen didn't know what he was thinking, and anger and sadness and a hint of fear appeared on his face.
"More than twenty people only have one mission and one night, and there are only three of us left, although the vast majority of them are people who have never known each other, but two of our brothers have also died, and they died at the hands of so-called teammates!"
"Dead at the hands of a teammate? What do you mean? Do those strangers want to take you as a substitute? ”
Mo Yuan thought of Wang Li, who came out alone before, and asked Feiwen eagerly, but Feiwen shook his head.
"If they were the ones who attacked us, then our two brothers would not die at all." Feiwen's face carried an inexplicable confidence, which was absolute trust in the strength of his companions.
"That?" Mo Yuan was a little incomprehensible.
"It's a ghost! He took on the form of our fellow travelers, and kept moving with us, and then found an opportunity to kill us one by one, until finally only the three of us were blocked by ghosts that no longer disguised, and we found out that if it weren't for the survival time required by the mission, just enough time for the sun to shine into the house and disperse the ghosts, I am afraid that we would have to kill a few people. ”
Mo Yuan glanced at Fei Wen deeply, no wonder the other party would say that if they found something wrong, they would definitely not show mercy or something like that, after experiencing that situation, they naturally had to be more careful with their companions who acted together, and Mo Yuan noticed a detail, Fei Wen just said that if it wasn't for the time just up, they were afraid that a few more people would die? This means that he is confident that even if the time is not up, they are sure that they will not be wiped out, where did he get the confidence to say such a thing when he was blocked by a terrible ghost and almost certain to die?
These thoughts only turned around in his heart, Mo Yuan did not ask about this issue, after all, this may involve the other party's hole cards, it is not appropriate to ask rashly, and then Mo Yuan slowly said what happened to him and others, the death of the two brothers Jia Ren and Jia Yi, understand that this thing is relative, you can't ask the other party to hide his head and tail without any reservations about you.
"Hmm... It doesn't look safe in the room. ”
After listening to Mo Yuan's narration, Fei Wen fell into deep thought: "Originally, I thought it would be safer in the house, but it seems that as long as you are here, there is no absolute safety on the street or in the house. ”
"You were on a mission on the streets?"
Mo Yuan listened to Fei Wen's words, a little surprised, no matter which of the three tasks released before, they all required to enter the room, and he thought that as long as he didn't go to those weird houses on the street, he would be fine.
"Well, didn't I say that before? Oh, I don't think I said it, sorry. Fei Wen casually apologized.
"Forget it, let's go, let's think about it, there's no progress in staying here forever." Mo Yuan looked at the sun that was gradually setting in the west and said.
There was no objection from the crowd, and with no map and no one knowing the right path, everyone picked a direction and began to walk.
As the distance between the sun and the horizon became closer and closer, the blood-red sunset stained the sky, Mo Yuan and the others looked at the subway entrance in front of them and hesitated, they didn't know if it was good luck or how bad, they didn't go far to find the entrance of this subway, but the signs were a little off, and the whole showed a trace of barrenness.
"How?"
Mo Yuan asked for everyone's opinions.
"It's all here, let's go in and have a look."
Fei Wen said as he took out a flashlight from his backpack and turned it on, a strong light shone out to dispel the darkness inside the door, and he took the lead in and said lightly:
"Qinghu, give them that flashlight in your bag."
"Oh, okay, come on."
Qinghu took out a flashlight with the same style as the one Fei Wen held in his hand and threw it to Mo Yuan.
"Hahaha, it's a good thing to hold it steady, the battery inside is particularly strengthened, and it won't run out of power for two or three nights." Seeing Mo Yuan hurriedly picking up the flashlight, Qinghu laughed and followed Fei Wen in.
