Chapter 47: The Shell
Compared to the hustle and bustle of city life, the time in the mountains is really happy and comfortable. Although the coarse tea is light and the rice is light, it has a wonderful taste.
A month passed in the medical team. The rescue work has come to an end, and the focus of the entire earthquake area has shifted from rescue to reconstruction, and the medical team is facing disbandment.
Because of his outstanding performance, Ed's work has stabilized during this period, and with Ah Rong's company, he feels that his life is simple and fulfilling, and he is very satisfied.
He sometimes even thinks that simply living his life like this may be the best thing in life.
However, the seemingly static beauty on the surface is always so short-lived, and this objective world is in a state of constant motion.
Movement means change.
The fate of man is so strange. The trees want to be quiet, and the wind does not stop. In the dark, it seems destined that Charity's life will not be so simple.
The expedition that had gone away disappeared the next day like a mystery, and was never heard from again. Although Ed regretted very much that he did not immediately interrogate the "black and white double evil", what he was more concerned about now was Ah Rong in front of him.
Ever since Ah Rong returned from another village three weeks ago, Ed has always felt that his life has become different from what he used to be. But I can't say exactly what has changed.
Worried, Ed silently arrives at Ah Rong's tent, hesitating whether to go in.
Everywhere you look, except for a few tents, it's pitch black everywhere. Under the moonlight, which was a little too bright, the vision was acceptable, not the kind of darkness that could not be reached.
Because the damage to the power system has not yet been fully restored, power outages in the town are commonplace.
The sporadic candlelight in the tent flickered and swayed, dancing with the shadows cast on the walls and other tents, and there was a feeling of teeth and claws.
There is not a trace of wind around, and there is no warm feeling at all, but it adds to the strange atmosphere.
The fire in Ah Rong's tent flickered, and it seemed that the candles had just been lit.
"Ah Rong, it's me"
Ed stood at the entrance and called out to his sweetheart. Although the relationship between the two was already very close, it was not to the point of glue after all, and after all, it was still entering the girl's boudoir, so Ed still paused politely.
Knowing that Ah Rong generally didn't have the habit of opening the curtain so early, and that he was his beloved, Ed picked up a corner of the tent curtain and probed into the tent.
The tent was very large, and Ah Rong, who was sitting with her back to her, seemed a little surprised, but she was very calm. Her right hand, which she raised to light the candle, remained frozen in mid-air, turning her head and smiling at Ed.
But Ed was stunned for a moment.
Everything happened quickly and not as expected by both sides.
Ah Rong's body did not move, and her incomparably beautiful face turned almost 180 degrees to Ed, giving her sweetheart a standard and sweet smile.
Ed's mind instantly skipped an idiom allusion "wolf Gu Xiang"!
Wolf Gu Xiang is a condition of physiognomy, which refers to the fact that the head can rotate 180 degrees without moving the shoulders. Because wolves and dogs can look back 180 degrees, it is said that people with this face are rich in the city. It is also said that those who have this face have the will of an emperor.
But when this happened to his sweetheart, Ed felt a chill rise up his spine.
Suddenly, the smell of burnt protein came from the tent, waking up Ed.
It turned out that Ah Rong's right thumb and index finger holding the match were inadvertently in the center of the candle flame!
It may have been her own call that made her distracted, she didn't even know that two fingers were burning on the flames!
"Watch your hands!"
Ed exclaimed.
"Oh, it's fine"
Continuing to be calm and smiling, Ah Rong was slightly embarrassed. He didn't seem to feel the slightest bit unusual, looked down at his fingers, and calmly retracted his right hand.
"Come here" The anxious Ed took two steps and quickly put Ah Rong's finger into his mouth and sucked it. He was worried that Ah Rong was in unbearable pain.
It's really a matter of concern, and the flustered Ed is at a loss.
"It's okay, look at you, giggles"
A Rong, who was calm, gently stroked the hair on Ed's forehead with her left hand, as well as the beads of sweat that came out of fright.
"It's all my fault"
"It's okay"
Ed felt the skin of Ah Rong's fingers in his mouth smooth and delicate, as if it was about to melt.
I was so frightened and scared that I was almost about to burst into tears. But what he was shocked and afraid of, I'm afraid even he doesn't know now.
