Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Investigation Period
"Are you two going to the cafeteria or going back to the family home?" Lin Nan watched the two walk side by side outside the camp, so he quickly followed.
Yu Yang tapped the dirty clothes on his body with his chin, "Go back directly, do you want to go back with us to eat?" β
Lin Nan shook his head, "No, I still have to go to school." β
"Are you going to see Tian Ying?" Bei Xiaoya leaned sideways and leaned over and asked.
"Yes, when I sent her back yesterday, she was worse than you," Lin Nan couldn't hide the worry on her face, "I'll go over and see if her condition has improved, and if there is any discomfort, take her to the medical room to have a look." β
Thinking of the way she vomited yesterday and couldn't stand upright, Bei Xiaoya couldn't help but want to follow over to take a look.
Lin Nan saw her intentions, and he was relieved, "You follow Yu Yang back first, if she still has any discomfort, I will inform you." β
Bei Xiaoya nodded, "It's okay, then I'll trouble you." β
Lin Nan shook his head lightly, and at this time, the three of them had also reached a fork in the road. The two of them said goodbye to Lin Nan and went straight to the family home.
There was silence on the road for a while, and then Bei Xiaoya asked, "Yesterday, are they the people who were kidnapped in the town next door?" β
Yu Yang didn't expect her to ask this, the person was slightly stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Don't think about it if you're afraid." β
Bei Xiaoya grabbed the hem of his grass-stained clothes without raising her head, "I won't really be angry with you, even if you can't control your temper, don't take it to heart." I'm like this, and my temper comes and goes as fast as I am, so you just let me have fun. β
Yu Yang glanced sideways at the clenched fist on the hem of her clothes, and then raised her eyes to look at the head she was pulling, and the person she drew today flashed in her mind, and she had already guessed what had happened in her heart.
He moved the things in his arms to the side, clenched her fist with his free hand, and then reassured, "Don't think about it, if you listened to what Lin Nan said, it was also his exaggeration." I've been on the team for so many years, and it's very important. β
Bei Xiaoya still didn't look up, her tone was uneasy, "I never thought that one day the scenes in the movie would happen around me, so many lives were so persecuted, how cruel those people were." As he spoke, he looked up at Yu Yang, his face full of self-blame, "Every time you go on a mission, you give your life to such a person, but I have never taken it seriously, and I often give you anger because of my own careful thinking, which makes me feel very naΓ―ve." β
Yu Yang glanced at the mud on his arm and resisted the urge to hug her into his arms. He grabbed her little hand, rubbed his fingertips on the back of her hand a few times, and then said, "Those are my duties, don't put pressure on yourself for this." As a soldier, you should be responsible for the country, but at home I am only your husband, so there is nothing wrong with what you do. Don't be cranky, if you don't feel comfortable, then my husband has failed too much. "This Lin Nan, what did he say to her to make her feel guilty like this, he still rushed to the work of this pig house.
"I don't have a high level of consciousness, so you don't have to rush to comfort me." Bei Xiaoya pouted unconfidently, "As soon as my temper comes up, I will still get angry with you." But I'm not really going to do anything, you just have to be patient and coax me. β
"Okay." Yu Yang replied with a smile, "No matter how angry you are in the future, I will be cheeky and pester you until I coax you well." So don't pretend that you don't have these things in your head, I will handle these things. You just need to ......" Yu Yang paused with a ruffian smile when he said this, and only when he saw Bei Xiaoya's face full of curiosity waiting for him to continue, he leaned in and whispered, "You just need to think carefully about when my inspection period will end." β
As soon as his voice fell, Bei Xiaoya's face began to heat up. She pretended to be angry and gave him a slap in the back. Yu Yang didn't dodge either, and after she finished kicking, he pampered her back to him, and then continued to walk towards the family courtyard as if nothing had happened.
On the other side, Tian Yan's situation is much worse than Bei Xiaoya. She was so close that she could even see the faces of the corpses. When Lin Nan came to her bedroom, she saw that her sallow face looked like a sick Lin Daiyu, as if a gust of wind could blow her off.
"It's been a whole day, what to eat and what to vomit." Mr. Tian brought in a bowl of light rice soup not long after he entered the house.
Lin Nan saw her sitting in front of the oil lamp carving the scroll without squinting, as if they didn't exist, so he took a few steps closer and stopped at her desk, "I'll help you carve it, right?" β
Tian Yan still didn't react, only drooping his eyelids and carefully carving on the wax paper with a pen. The light of the oil lamp is no better than the tungsten lamp, it is dim and faint, only a small piece of light, Tian Yan is very difficult to see, and from Lin Nan's angle, she can already see the red blood in her eyes.
In the silence, the flames on the wick suddenly exploded with a "bang", and in an instant, the light in the room became weaker. But Tian Yan didn't seem to feel all this, she only lowered her head, and the movements of her hands still didn't stop.
Mr. Tian seemed to have seen this kind of scene, he calmly took out a pair of scissors from the basket on the side, and cut off the burned wick with his hands, and the light immediately returned to brightness.
After cutting the wick, Mr. Tian put the scissors back in their place, and then made a gesture to Lin Nan and walked out of the bedroom.
Lin Nan saw that there was a nest of clear spring in the eye sockets of her staring pen, and he finally couldn't help but snatch the pen in her hand, "Don't carve." β
Tian Yan was like a frightened bird, and he grabbed it with his hands fluttering. Lin Nan threw the engraving pen in the corner of the table, grabbed her arm and tried to calm her down, "If you continue to engrave, your eyes will be burned, and you are not allowed to engrave again." β
Tian Yan was caught by him and couldn't move, a pair of watery eyes could spill out of the water, and it was really distressing to watch.
"It's okay, it's all over." Lin Nan comforted softly.
The tears in Tian Xuan's eye sockets were finally like beads with broken threads, sliding down one after another, and a tear soon flowed out of her cheeks.
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have forced you out." Lin Nan's face was full of self-blame, "I'm sorry." β
As if he hadn't heard his words, Tian Yan looked at the engraved pen on the table again. She stared at the engraving pen for a long time before she said pleadingly, "You let me continue carving, so I won't think about it again." The engraving must be carried out lightly, and it must be highly concentrated, so that she does not have the energy to recall the gloomy scene.
Lin Nan grabbed her and didn't let go, "I'll take you to the infirmary to find a doctor to see if I can prescribe you some soothing medicine, you will wear down your body if you keep staying up like this." β
Tian Yan shook his head helplessly, the tears on his cheeks dripped on Lin Nan's arm, and the tears with temperature burned his skin painfully.
"You wait here, I'll go and bring the doctor now."
Lin Nanqiang pressed her and sat down. Then he said to the old man Tian in the next house, and then drove all the way back to the camp.
