Chapter 155: The End of the World
Zang Feng dodged away from the kitchen in order to avoid the shovel, and just happened to bump into Tang Yan, who heard the sound and rushed quickly.
“……”
After listening to the corps commander's account, Tang Yan only understood what was going on.
Zang Feng tied the mirelurk carcasses piled up on the stern deck and returned to the cabin, ready to go to the kitchen kettle to make tea, who knew that he happened to see the girl rescued by the deputy head of the regiment sitting on the dining table near the cabinet with two feet hanging from her, stealing the fish sauce that Tong Huaiyu gave them.
Of course, Zang Feng didn't treat her like a thief, but just said, "You're awake," and shouted to the cook who was taking a nap in the aisle, asking him to bring over the crab broth that had been warm on the induction cooker.
What they didn't expect was that this kindness was exchanged for shovels, spoons, and chopsticks...... Fortunately, the kitchen knife was stored in General Wang's gray package, otherwise God knows what a tragic confrontation would have been.
Tang Yan handed him a "so pitiful" look, walked into the kitchen, and looked at the girl who was holding an aluminum basin in her right hand and might throw it over at any time.
There was undisguised vigilance and fear on her face, and there was some dryness in her eyebrows.
"Don't be afraid, we have no ill will." He tried to keep his voice as calm as possible.
The girl glanced to the side when she heard a voice from behind, and her gaze suddenly froze, and the dryness and madness between her eyebrows disappeared without a trace.
She looked at him and kept looking at him.
The raised right arm slowly lowered, and the aluminum basin disappeared from the dining table.
General Wang's eyes widened, and he glanced back at Zang Feng, meaning that the two of them really looked at each other.
When she fell from the sky, Deputy Regiment Commander Tang stepped forward after just one glance, regardless of his own safety, to go into the sea to save people.
Now she's awake, and it's just a glance at her that takes off all her defenses.
Zang Feng didn't say anything, and pulled General Wang out of the room by the back collar.
Tang Yan ignored the changes behind him, brought the iron pot brought by the cook to the table, took out a bowl from the cabinet next to him, washed the spoon that fell on the ground, and filled a bowl full of steaming crab broth and put it in front of the girl.
"Eat it while it's hot, it's not good for your body when it's cold."
Somehow, seeing her beautiful face, all the impatience, anger, boredom, and grievances brought by life were all swept away, and I just wanted to make time go slower and my mind slower.
She never looked away, rising and falling as he moved, stopping as he sat across from her.
Half of the dough cake fell on the table, and the heat of the crab broth clouded her delicate eyebrows.
Bang, click......
Something fell on the table.
She lost her tears.
"Why are you crying?" As soon as he asked this sentence, a scene suddenly flashed in his mind.
Bang, click......
The same sound, the same thing falling to the ground.
The difference is that there are drops of blood and tears in the things that fall on the ground.
He looked up and saw a tear-stained face.
She said something, with an excited and exaggerated look, but ...... I couldn't hear anything clearly.
The picture comes and goes quickly.
The pain was relieved, and he wiped a handful of his forehead with his hand, which was wet and sweating profusely.
At some point, the girl took his other hand on the table.
"I'm sorry, I can't remember...... I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" Tang Yan knew very well that these memory fragments came from the original owner of the body, but the feeling was like his own personal experience, so real that he couldn't tell who was the local aboriginal and who was a traveler in another time and space.
"Do you know me?"
The girl's hand slowly retracted, and her gaze became more and more solemn as she looked at him, and slowly doubts and struggles appeared in her eyes. Her face suddenly turned very pale, her lips began to tremble, her fingers tightened tighter and tighter, and she had a pained expression on her face.
"Don't think about it! Don't think about it! Tang Yan reacted quickly and grabbed her hand hard.
The girl woke up in shock, snorting and panting, looking a little weak.
"We're really...... Sympathy. He smiled self-deprecatingly, giving up on the idea of learning about his past through the girl.
"I'm sorry to make you suffer."
The girl shook her head and looked at him and smiled.
Her face was pale, but her smile was amazing, like spring and snow.
"What's your name?" Tang Yan regretted asking this question, since he didn't know what his name was, how could the girl who also lost her memory remember her name: "My current name is Tang Yan." ”
The girl didn't say anything.
"You...... It can't be that you can't speak, right? ”
The girl's expression was unresponsive.
He thought to himself that if it was so, she had not only lost her memory, but was also mute.
At this moment, a somewhat weak, sweet voice drifted into the pinna.
"Picking Rose......
He jerked his head up.
"Picking rose." She repeated, this time louder and her name clearer.
"Cai Wei, your name is Cai Wei...... You can talk, you're not dumb. Tang Yan was very happy, and he was a little incoherent with joy.
Fortunately, Zang Feng pulled General Wang to leave one step earlier, otherwise seeing Deputy Commander Tang's current appearance, the cook would probably be so surprised that he bit his tongue off.
Coo-goo-goo......
The girl's belly began to protest.
Tang Yan smiled dumbly, and pushed the crab soup in front of her: "Let's eat first, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later." ”
"Hmm." Cai Wei agreed, and used chopsticks to scoop up the crab meat in the bowl.
At this time, Tang Yan made a very special action, which can also be said to be distracted, and he reacted subconsciously.
He reached out and pulled her hair behind her ear.
Cai Wei didn't move, and kept sending crab meat to her mouth, eating like a kitten who had been hungry for a long time.
He looked at her cute appearance, the warmth in his heart overflowed, the corners of his lips were slightly curled, and his eyes were slightly squinted.
Even if I don't have a complete memory and don't know what their relationship is, the familiarity and intimacy that melts into the flesh and bones are so real, and there is no false ingredient.
Tang Yan knew that she must be a very important person to the original owner of this body, so important that even time and memory could not erase the connection that touched the soul.
He watched her eat for a long time, until the girl wiped the sauce and soup from the corners of her mouth with her hands, looked up at him and said, "Caiwei is full." ”
With that, she walked over to the chair next to him and sat down.
Tang Yan handed her the prepared wet towel.
She took it and wiped her face and hands, and fell sideways into his arms very casually, resting on his legs, looking at the fine stubble of his chin from below.
"I ...... Looks like I've seen you somewhere. ”
Tang Yan nodded.
Cai Wei said, "I'm sorry......"
"Why apologize?"
"I don't know, I just want to apologize."
"I don't have any memories and I can remember what I had to apologize to." Tang Yan said with a smile: "You must owe me a lot of money." ”
"Hmm." She stretched out her little hand, touched his stubble, and giggled, "It's still so hard......"
He stroked her knee-covered hair and said, "It's still so soft......"
The word "still" ------ is a color peculiar to memory.
He didn't know how long he had been sitting like this, it seemed like a cigarette was much longer, and it seemed like it was only for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she had fallen asleep with a quiet smile on her face.
It seemed that she was really tired, and she was only hungry, so she woke up from her deep sleep, went to the kitchen to eat a little and continued to sleep.
Tang Yan naturally didn't wake her up, picked her up from the erect dining chair with the smallest range of movements, left the kitchen and returned to the living room, and put her on the bed, then pushed open the door of the opposite room, and chose to lie down on the bunk above Zang Feng.
The corps commander just glanced up at him when he heard the movement, didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, turned sideways to face the bulkhead and continued to take a nap.
Tang Yan also thought that he would ask some questions that were difficult for him to answer, such as what was his relationship with that girl and what he planned to do in the future, after all, the performance of the two people was very subtle, as long as they were people with normal brains, they could get the results of the relationship between the two parties from their interactions.
Fortunately, the Legion Commander didn't say much, I don't know if he was ashamed to talk about other people's emotional problems, or if he wanted to give him a little time to sort out his thoughts and prepare his speech.
Tang Yan knew very well that this question could not be avoided, and he always had to introduce Cai Wei to Reina, Sanpao and others, which would inevitably bring a series of questions that were difficult to answer.
He actually knows very well that the object of the girl's dependence is the original owner of this body, but he has no memory, but he has a lot of inexplicable feelings because of those fragmented memory fragments, and he can't change this kind of consciousness fusion, so he can only passively accept it.
Originally, I wanted to use my bedtime to think about the middle-aged man standing on the back of the scorched beast, why he did such a thing, and whether he knew his past relationship with Cai Wei, but unfortunately he was too tired, and a lot of things happened this day------ platinum, mirelurk queen, Cai Wei, desperate situation, and Star Spirit module unlock......
He had spent so much mental and physical strength that he didn't have a chance to think about the middle-aged man before he fell asleep.
It was a long sleep, but it wasn't easy, and he had a lot of dreams.
I dreamed of myself sinking into the abyss, I dreamed of Cai Wei smiling like a flower, I dreamed of Zang Feng, Reina, Xia Xin, Sanpao and others, and I also dreamed of looking at his fierce hands coldly......
When a long sword falling from the sky pierced his chest, revealing a sharp gaze that broke through the darkness and belonged to "Ren" alone, he sat up from the bed at once, his head touched the low plank, and he grinned and gasped for air.
Reached out and wiped a handful on his forehead, it was wet, and his palms were sweaty.
He glanced at the timetable hanging on the opposite wall, and it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.
I actually slept for so long......
He shook his head, trying to make his mind clearer, and glanced down at the bed, and found that Zang Feng was asleep, breathing for a long time, snoring like thunder, and looking tired enough.
Cuckoo......
There was a muffled sound in his abdomen, he shook his head with a wry smile, uncovered the blanket and tiptoed out of bed, pushed open the door and walked out, went to the kitchen to nibble on a few mouthfuls of cold steamed buns, and drank a sip of old wine on the blue dolphin jerky, and his stomach was finally more comfortable.
He did not return to his room to continue his rest, remembering that Gao Kai had been in the cockpit since noon, and had worked harder than them, so he planned to go over to see if there was anything he needed help with, but when he opened the door to the aft deck, he suddenly saw a man standing on the side of the ship under the starry night.
The black hair and blue streamers swayed gently in the sea breeze, and the moonlight fell on the shoulders, glowing with a cold glow.
She looked into the distance, watching the shredded light rise and fall among the waves, and the low sound of the motor and the murmuring of the water formed an uncheerful, somewhat oppressive nocturne of the wasteland.
The sea breeze was still cold before the Ming Dynasty, and he was excited by the sea breeze when he got up from the bed, and he couldn't help but shiver.
But the girl stood on the side of the ship in a thin, or rather revealing garment, and was not afraid of the wind that was wet with the waves.
Tang Yan stepped out of the threshold and retracted his feet, turned around and walked to the room where Cai Wei was resting, picked up the blanket on the bed, poured boiling water into the kettle, and took them out of the cabin and came to the girl's side.
He draped the blanket over her shoulders and shook her hand holding the railing, it was cold, cold and prickly.
"Drink some hot water."
He unscrewed the lid of the kettle and handed it to her.
She raised her hands to hold the kettle, and a smile appeared on her cold red face, looking at the full moon hanging in the night sky.
"She's always so quiet and never thinks about changing anything."
Tang Yan knew who "she" in her mouth was.
The moon hanging high in the sky always appears quietly at night, from the east to the west, day after day, year after year, day and night, all the time.
Slightly hot gas exhaled from her lips and rose into the sky as fine white threads.
"Caiwei, do you have a place to go?"
"Yes."
"Where?"
"It's fine anywhere, as long as you don't leave me again."
“……”
Tang Yan didn't know what to say, so he came back to his senses for a long time, looked at the cold Haibo under the moon and said, "Do you know who the middle-aged man standing on the back of the scorched beast is?" ”
She shook her head: "I can't remember what he looked like. ”
I don't know where I came from, I don't know where I'm going, just like he was when he walked out of Vault 1001.
Luckily, she knew what her name was.
Fortunately, she is not alone.
Obviously two people who know each other very well, but they can't find a complete memory of each other.
He looked at her face and thought to himself, "The end of the world is close at hand", this is how it feels.
The middle-aged man on the back of the scorched beast went to the Maxim's Cannery to look for him a few days ago, and then met outside the Toshima Shell Building, and now it seems that the other party did that to confirm his identity, and then there was what happened at noon today.
The middle-aged man must have known about his past, and it was even possible that he was an acquaintance of Cai Wei.
But...... The middle-aged man didn't say a word to him from beginning to end, what was that person's plan?
If the other party is also a member of the organization to which the ruler belongs, could it be that someone in the "Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom and Faith" told him about his own affairs, so that the rest of the things followed?
So is it out of kindness or malice to send Cai Wei to his side?
Out of kindness, it is nothing more than fulfilling oneself and reuniting with Caiwei.
Out of malice, will Cai Wei be bad for herself?
Either way, one thing is for sure, he has a close relationship with her.
