Chapter 66: Before You Leave
"Giggles!"
"Giggles!"
In the early morning, the sound of the rooster crowing woke Lin Mu, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he found that it was only dawning at the moment.
"Hoo ......"
Taking a deep breath, the drowsiness slowly dissipated, he sat up and rubbed his face, and looked at the other side, and couldn't help but smile a little on his face.
He Qi tilted her head, her mouth was wide open, and she was left along her cheeks, the quilt on her body had already been kicked off, and her limbs were also wide open, where was there a girl sleeping?
Shaking his head, he slowly put on his coat and tiptoed out the door.
"Hoo ......"
Standing on the steps of the courtyard, he took another deep breath, and the cool, sober air poured into his lungs.
"Giggles!"
The rooster crowed as the rooster continued to crow, and he looked sideways to see a big rooster in the chicken pen in the corner of the yard with its head held high, and from time to time proudly looked around at the other chickens.
Chicken?
For some reason, he suddenly wondered if the creature had become extinct in the wasteland by the tide of evolution, or had evolved into another terrifying creature.
The power of evolution can turn these otherwise timid creatures into truly bloodthirsty beasts, like the rats and rabbits of Boston.
The biological chain is broken, the environment is harsh, and if it can't evolve, even the air filled with radiation dust can easily kill any living thing.
"Now that you're back, let's go check it out!"
Retracting his troubled thoughts, he looked up to the east, where there was a large mountain, and the buildings on the top of the hill could be faintly seen.
Opened the gate and walked out, there were already early risers in the alley, and a few neighbors who were still very familiar with each other, and in the face of their friendly nods and smiles, Lin Mu responded politely.
"Lin Mu? Where are you going so early? I'm getting ready to make breakfast! ”
As soon as I walked to the entrance of the alley, my aunt Lin Li came towards me with a few plastic bags. Lin Mu stopped, raised his hand to the mountain to the east, and said softly: "I sweep the tomb, don't wait for me to eat together!" ”
"Alas...... You haven't been back in years, and it's time to sweep the grave! Hearing this, Li Li sighed lightly, whispered a few words in her mouth, and carried the vegetables into the alley.
**
Yangshan, located in Jintai, is a well-known mountain in Yangcheng. The mountain is steep, the mountain road is rugged, and there is a Taoist temple named on the top of the mountain - Xinyang Pavilion.
The Taoist temple has long been dilapidated, and if it weren't for the local government's annual subsidy in order to preserve this historical site, I am afraid that the people in this Taoist temple would have been clean.
However, the goal of the forest curtain today was not the Taoist temple, he went up the rugged and steep stone steps, and when he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he turned right according to the route he remembered, and passed through a jungle, and two bulging tombs appeared in front of him, and the tombstone in front of the tombs.
Compared to the overgrown places, this place is clean, and it can be seen that people often come to visit the graves. He hadn't been back for four years, and the only person who swept the grave was his aunt.
"Dad! Mother! ”
Walking to the tomb where his parents were buried together, Lin Mu knelt down and kowtowed three times. After a long time, he straightened up and stroked the two bluestone tombstones in front of him with his hand.
'Lin Yan'
'Han Lingyan'
Except for the two names, there was nothing else engraved on the tombstone, and the funeral that year was also undertaken by his aunt's family, and he let out a long sigh after staring at this tombstone for a long time.
The car accident when he was a child seems to be vivid, and he vaguely remembers that before his mother died, she gently rubbed her hair with her blood-covered hands, as gentle as ever.
and his father's always hearty smile, even after so many years, he still remembers it very clearly in his heart.
"Dad! Mother! I'll live well! ”
There are too many things in my heart that I want to confide in, but when I spit it out, it becomes this simple sentence. Finally, after three more kowtows, he stood up and began to clean up the weeds around him with his hands.
"It's useless! If you don't dig up the roots, they will grow back in two days! ”
Suddenly, his mind flashed to the girl lying on the rattan chair in the underground garage, shaking her head and sighing at herself.
His body immediately froze, and after a long time, he let out a long breath and whispered, "Filina......"
He didn't understand why he missed the girl so much, not counting the month he was in a coma, the two of them had only been together for less than two weeks.
Guilt? Guilty?
While cleaning up the weeds, while slowly thinking, he gradually got the answer in his heart. It's not about the length of time they get along, but because her figure has been deeply imprinted in her heart.
Her dirty little face seemed to be the only remaining light in the wasteland world, illuminating herself who had become increasingly desperate.
"Wait for me! I'll definitely find you! ”
Straightening up, he patted the dirt on his hands and looked up at the rising sun in the east, with a resolute look on his face.
At this moment, he suddenly wanted to return to the wasteland world as soon as possible, and that feeling of urgency had never appeared in the center before.
"Evra ......"
Saying the name, he looked back at his parents' burial place and resolutely turned away.
Two days passed in a flash, and the kind aunt's family slowly soothed the suppressed anger in his heart.
The night before leaving, he took He Qi to the only park in the county. I don't know if it's an illusion, compared to He Qi in her memory, she has changed a lot now.
The little girl who lost her temper with a cold face every day was gone, and now sitting next to him was a quiet girl.
He looked sideways slightly, He Qi was propped up in the chair with both hands, his slender legs couldn't help swaying back and forth, and he was still humming an unknown song softly in his mouth.
Smiling slightly, he looked up at the starry sky and said softly: "Xiaoqi, I will leave for a longer time this time, you have to take care of your parents!" ”
According to his plan, he was going to go all the way to get close to Evra before returning here to replenish his things, unless there were special circumstances.
One month? Two months? He didn't know how long he had to leave, the wasteland world was full of dangers, and even with the presence of armored reconnaissance vehicles, it would still be a very time-consuming journey to cross thousands of miles.
"Brother, where are you going?"
Suddenly, He Qi turned his head, his delicate eyebrows furrowed, and his gaze faintly compelled.
"You've been talking in your sleep for the past two days! What is a deathclaw? And who is Phirina? What is the wasteland? How the hell did that scar on your chest come from? ”
He actually talked in his sleep......
With a bitter smile in his heart, Lin Mu raised his head to look at the starry sky again, and was silent for a long time before he laughed softly: "If I can, I will definitely tell you what these represent, but at least not yet!" ”
When it is difficult to protect oneself, telling one's relatives about the affairs of that world is just to provoke them to worry and fear.
If I could be stronger, and I could make sure that I wouldn't lose my life suddenly, I would probably be able to say those things without any scruples.
Because, those things that were suppressed in his heart had already exhausted him.
He really wanted someone who could listen quietly to all this, to vent the pain and suffering in his heart.
"Brother!"
Suddenly, Xiao Qi's soft call came from beside him, and as soon as he turned his head, he was hugged tightly by her, her breathing was confused, and her face was slightly flushed.
In an instant, Lin Mu seemed to understand something, his heart stiffened slightly, he avoided He Qi's head, patted her shoulder gently, and said in a deep voice: "Aunt and uncle will be handed over to you!" ”
With that, he pushed He Qi away, stood up, and strode into the woods behind him.
"Brother!"
shouted, He Qi hurriedly stood up and chased in, but there was no trace of the forest curtain here.
"Alas......"
She looked at the empty surroundings, and a sense of confusion welled up in her heart, and the restless feeling in her heart gradually subsided. After a long time, she sighed softly and turned to leave.
