"With the nearby six fingers...... Trading? Lilia was stunned for a moment, "Why?" ”

"Huh?" The young man, who looked familiar and unfamiliar, temporarily put down his heavy backpack and rolled his eyes to probably understand her question, "Because the impact of radiation on food crops is much more severe than we expected, and in just this decade, many fields that were originally quite productive can now not grow even a single weed. Seeing that our food was gradually running out of food, fortunately, after recovering a little from the outbreak of the epidemic, Liuzhi cultivated some new varieties with more tenacious vitality...... You've probably heard of bartering, right? The trade between us and them is now basically stuck in this stage. ”

"Oh." In fact, Lilia didn't care about the answer he explained in such detail, she was more curious about another question, "Dealing with them up close...... Don't you feel scared? ”

"As it stands, I don't have much time to think about other things......" The young man seemed to notice the scarf around her neck at last, and his gaze paused for a long time on the slightly faded ginger cloth, until even Lilia felt a fever on her face in a daze, and then he hesitated to speak, "Speaking of which, this looks like I've seen it somewhere......"

"This is what you gave me before." After only half of the words, Lilia's ice-blue eyes instantly flashed with a light of great vitality. She experienced some kind of throbbing for the first time in a long time, and she unconsciously wanted to stand up as she spoke. But when she calmed down a little and saw the blankness that flashed in the young man's eyes, her tone lowered a little bit, "You...... Don't you remember much? ”

The answer is obvious. With the zealous nature of a young man, she was clearly not the only one who had been favoured by him in the last twenty years, nor was she likely to be the one that impressed him the most. To be able to meet him again in this situation may have overdrawn all her share of good fortune in this life. It's that she's thinking too much.

Sunset. The last rays of the day were blocked by the young man's broad back, and the elongated black shadow just happened to cover Lilia's lost face.

If she had known, she would have been in a coma for a little longer. In this way, she can continue to lie in the arms of this person who has forgotten her, and continue to indulge in an unfinished dream.

"Probably...... I still have a little impression. Perhaps sensing her depressed mood, the young man quickly began to remedy it kindly, "You have been in the past few years...... Has it changed a lot? If I had ever seen such a beautiful little girl before, I would never have forgotten it. ”

"It's okay, even if we forget, it's okay, and we've only seen that side." Lilia struggled to keep the smile on her face and thoughtfully threw out a new topic, "How have you been doing these years?" Since it's a bakery, at least, well, eating isn't a problem, right? ”

"It was a very difficult time, but it's getting better now." The young man was still staring into her eyes, probably still secretly trying to recall, "Even if it is to repay those who have lent a helping hand in the most downbeat time of my family, I must accomplish my purpose this outing...... Lao Hong! ”

He suddenly shouted without saying a word. Lilia looked sideways in the direction of the young man's beckoning, and saw a middle-aged man who was pitching a tent pause slightly, and also said hello to this side.

"This is my companion and my current partner in business." The young man explained, "But after all, he is a little old, and he looks fierce, so it is not convenient for him to follow me to the city of Six Fingers. It just so happens that if you can't find a place to go for a while, you can follow him back to my shop early tomorrow morning. Like you said, I don't have anything else there now, there's always some left......

"Do you often pick people up like this and go home?" Lilia couldn't help but ask cautiously.

"Ah, if that's the case, it's probably genetic." The young man was stunned by what she said, and after reacting to it, he scratched his hair stuck with sand with a slightly embarrassed smile, "If I really want to talk about it, my great-grandfather is probably the most loving one in my family. He was originally an outcast, he grew up eating hundreds of meals when he was a child, and later slowly saved his family money with his diligence and steadfastness, and once sponsored many children with poor backgrounds, and was called 'father' by many people at a young age, and almost scared his great-grandmother to dare not enter the door......"

Infected by the heartfelt pride and cheerfulness of the young man, Lilia rarely laughed with him, and the whole person's sitting posture relaxed, slowly learning to lie down on the still hot sand like a young man, experiencing the dry and warm touch.

“…… When the family was at its most affluent, my great-grandfather probably sponsored three or four hospices or orphanages. It's a pity that just a few years ago, the only person in the whole family who could go out to earn money normally was me, and because of the epidemic, my great-grandfather died too suddenly, and for a long time I didn't know the specific contact information of those places, so I could only try to find clues among the relics between dealing with the aftermath and work......"

"Have you ever been to the prairies to the north? I went there once with my great-grandfather when I was very young. The winters are long and seem desolate for most of the year, but once summer arrives, seasonal rivers suddenly wind their way through the overnight blooming flowers, as if in a painting. The crops have not grown well in the past few years, and I have been worried that no one else will have a chance to see such a beautiful scenery, but fortunately, when I passed by occasionally last year, I found that those bright flowers are still blooming as always, but the number is a little less......"

“…… If the purpose of doing a good deed is to get something in return, it is no different from doing business. Although there is nothing wrong with doing business with people, it is a bit chilling to sell favors as if they were stocks in the name of charity. ”

"You know what? Although Six Fingers usually regards bread as one of the staple foods, their baking techniques are a little different from ours. When our relationship eases a bit, I'll take you around their cities...... Don't worry, I think most of them are quite human-friendly......"

Young people are really experienced and energetic speakers. And in front of him sat a beautiful audience member who was too cooperative and attentive.

For a moment, even he began to suspect that he should have known this half-breed girl for a long, long time, and today was just a reunion of long-lost old friends.

"You've been through a lot." Lilia's hands holding her face were propped up on her gauze-wrapped knees, and her face finally revealed a little innocence that a girl should have, "If only I had mustered up the courage to go to you sooner......"

"It's okay, it's not too late." The light gradually dimmed, and she couldn't see the expression of the young man when he spoke, which made her feel a little pity, "A person's life is always full of all kinds of unexpected 'turning points', although these events that can change your fate in the blink of an eye may be good or bad, but as long as people are alive, there is always hope for everything to change for the better......"

"Oh my God, you two haven't finished talking yet." At this moment, Lao Hong crossed his waist and walked over, "You are happy, a few of us are setting up tents and preparing dinner, and we are tired and haven't taken a breath until now." ”

"I've never been idle. Psychological counseling for patients is also one of the important tasks. The young man was obviously very familiar with him, and he didn't talk at all, "If you are envious, we can both change." ”

"Hey, the little girl's eyes have been glued to you, I'm not so uninteresting."

As soon as Lao Hong's words fell, Lilia quickly lowered her head.

"That's because we've known each other before. Why, you are envious? The young man came out with a thick skin to relieve the siege, "You go eat first, I'll help her slowly over." ”

Not far away, more people were laughing around the campfire. Lilia was held up from the side by the young man in a daze, and suddenly felt that the day had passed so unreal.

Twelve hours ago, she was forced to be pressed to the hospital bed by several pairs of hands with six fingers, and she could only watch the unknown injections flow into her body. And now, the other pair of hands was clinging to her back, but it was to bring her in a warmer and brighter direction.

"It's okay, don't be nervous." The words of young people are actually a bit more than ordinary people, but for Lilia, it is just right, "They all look fierce, but they are actually good people." I remember that the daughter of Lao Hong's family happens to be about the same age as you, and if you follow him back first, maybe you will have time to go to school for a few years......"

But when they walked side by side through the first knoll, the laughter that seemed so ethereal in the wilderness suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter with you, is someone secretly drinking again?" The young man was still laughing, not noticing that Lilia in his arms was trembling slightly.

Wrong...... The number of heartbeats is incorrect......

Excessive mental relaxation is more devastating than anesthetic applied to wounds. Her reaction speed was at least ten times slower than usual. So when the young man muttered, "I'll go check on the situation first," and left her alone for the time being, Lilia couldn't hold him back.

The stars in the sky are silent witnesses. After the faint sound of a gunshot, she limped down on the young man's body like a completely broken doll, pulling her broken hands and feet.

It wasn't until a new group of strangers gathered around her that Lilia finally regained a little bit of her senses.

“…… Why? She asked, her eyes wide open in the darkness, her voice trembling.

"The doctor told us to take you back." The leader aimed the blinding flashlight directly at her eyes, squeezing out more tears gushing out like springs, "The morning's events have basically spread, and he said you did a good job. There is a great internal tremor in the six-fingered world, which must be beneficial to the future of all mankind......"

"He deliberately handed me over to those monsters?"

The leader paused, and the contempt in his tone became more pronounced as he spoke again.

"What do you say?" He asked rhetorically, "Think clearly, who is the biggest benefactor you can live to this day." ”

"Benefactor?" Lilia's eyes narrowed slowly, her wheezing voice becoming more and more rapid, "Do you mean that I should thank him for giving me 'today'?" ”

"You-"

A few seconds later, she was confronted with a non-moving figure all over the ground, and for the first time suppressed the urge to retch.

But soon, Lilia realizes that she has done another stupid thing.

-

"I was crazy about revenge, but ironically, I couldn't find the one I wanted to get revenge on." At this moment, Lilia's expression was unusually calm, "Five years...... I've been looking for him for five years. I can do anything to get a little clue. Coercion, abuse, and kill others who have served him, and try to hold on to the only freedom from the myriad forces that have come behind me...... At one point, I thought I was really crazy. ”

"But you've also killed many people by mistake who you don't have anything to do with."

"Yes. I don't deny it, and I don't want to excuse what I've done. Like I said, I was no different from a madman a few years ago. Lilia took a deep breath and tilted her head to stare deeply at the police officer with a look on his face, "If it weren't for wanting to atone for these people, I wouldn't have allowed myself to be caught." ”

"Atonement?"

"Yes. I am willing to receive all the punishment for those who have been implicated by me. But for more names you have there, all I can say is that they deserve it. ”

"Even if you completely destroy yourself for it?"

"More precisely, it's the only thing in my life that I don't regret." Gritting her teeth and throwing out this sentence, Lilia fell backwards as if she had completely lost her strength, sinking most of her scarred body into the hard chair, "Is there anything else to ask?" I feel like I don't have much more to say. The specific method of killing, perhaps your report should be clearer. ”

"About the person you crush on...... Corpse. Officer Ling had completely dropped his pen in the middle of the interrogation, and his expression was even more tired than Lilia's, "How did you deal with it in the end?" ”

"Burned. Because I don't want him to sacrifice himself to feed the bed bugs in the desert after he dies. Lilia licked her lips suddenly, looking more like a mentally ill person than she had ever been, "But I kept a little bit of his ashes quietly...... On the day I found my great enemy, I poured it into the milk for breakfast and drank it. ”

"Okay." Officer Ling didn't know what else he could say, "Because of your particularity, the death penalty may not be carried out immediately......"

"I know, it's my life." Lilia's whole state was unusually relaxed, and her ice blue eyes looked at the ceiling without focus, "Before I came in, I saw the news that more people like me had gradually gathered together, and they were planning to raise funds to build an independent city that would not fight with the world...... Something like that. ”

"Yes, it's still in the conceptual stage."

"It's so naïve...... Lilia chuckled inwardly, leaving the last words for Officer Ling, who had only seen this side in her life, "How could a person like this be willing to be trapped in one place for a long time." ”

Officer Ling took one last look at her and bowed his head to reply to the latest text message.

"I'll cooperate with your experiments." Contrary to the slower pace of his speech, his fingers were quite nimble, "And all I can say about all this crazy assumptions is, good luck to you." ”
