Chapter Thirty-Eight: Warmth in the Snow

It's a land of no more than two or three acres. There are many makeshift tents and mobile homes. The outermost layer of the camp is covered with tents, and the further you go inside, the more mobile houses there are. The camp was surrounded by a rudimentary wall. At the entrances and exits in each direction, there are sentry posts on duty.

Wei Yi followed the orderlies to the sentry and was stopped by the guards on duty. After a detailed cross-examination and check-in, Wei was allowed to enter. After a brief conversation between the orderly and the guard on duty, he led Wei Yi through the sentry post and continued to advance into the depths of the camp.

The orderly soldier said to Wei Yi while leading the way: "The place where Shen Xiaoman's child temporarily lives is in the center of this camp. The people who live here are all families. Her hut had been assigned to Researcher Lee. The conditions are pretty good in all respects. It's one of the best places for us. ”

When Wei Yi heard this, he knew that it must be Li Xiaohui's strength. His feelings for Li Xiaohui have become deeper because of this. How can such a delicate and appropriate woman not be loved by people?

Wei Yi followed the orderlies and walked briskly all the way, and soon came to the door of the mobile house where Shen Xiaoman lived. When he saw that he had arrived at the place, he hurriedly thanked the orderlies and couldn't wait to walk to the door. He raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but the door of the mobile house "squeaked" and opened by itself. Wei Yi was stunned, but saw that after the door opened, a little girl was stepping out of the way. Isn't that Shen Xiaoman who came out?

Wei Yi smiled and called softly: "Xiaoman." Where are you going? ”

Shen Xiaoman looked at Wei Yu in surprise, and said in a lost voice, "Brother Wei, when did you come back?" ”

She happily ran a few steps forward, pulled the corner of Wei Yi's clothes, and asked eagerly, "Brother Wei, have you found what you are looking for?" My dad was saved, wasn't he? ”

Wei Yi squatted down, brushed Shen Xiaoman's hair, and looked at it carefully. He found that after not seeing him for a few days, Shen Xiaoman's complexion was not only excellent, but also the whole person looked like he was slightly fatter.

He said to Shen Xiaoman kindly: "Yes." Xiao Man can rest assured now. Brother Wei has found a way. How are you doing these days? Have you been wronged? It looks like I've eaten fat. ”

Shen Xiaoman shook his head and said with a smile: "No." They've been so nice to me. Oops, look at me. Brother Wei, come in. Let's go inside. I've left you a lot of good things to eat. ”

As she spoke, she pulled Wei Yi and walked into the house. Wei Yi was dragged by Shen Xiaoman and walked to the room. I was confronted by several female soldiers. Wei Yi recognized the people who Li Xiaohui had summoned when he left that day. He greeted them in a friendly way.

The female soldiers nodded politely to Wei Yi. Wei Yi got to know them one by one under Shen Xiaoman's introduction. After a brief conversation, Wei Yi was dragged by Shen Xiaoman to the room in the changer. The female soldiers, on the other hand, had a clear division of labor and continued their work. Someone is standing guard, someone is on duty. Wei Yi followed Shen Xiaoman all the way to the innermost room.

It's a small room that's not big. The length and width are only about ten meters. The house is simply furnished, with only a bed and a desk. There are a lot of puppets stacked on the bed in an orderly manner. On the wall on the side of the bed, a long wire was pulled. There are some beautiful clothes hanging on the wire. Wei Yi remembered very well that when they left the place where they had lived, there were no such things. Obviously, these are all new things that Shen Xiaoman has acquired since he arrived here. There are also several stick figures on the wall at the end of the bed.

Wei Yi looked at the paintings curiously. Each painting has something different to paint. The first painting shows two adults and a child, with the sun and lush grass in the distance. The second picture shows an adult lying on the ground, a crying child. The third painting depicts a tall man with his body covering the two people behind him.

These paintings are all painted decently, and the characters are lifelike. Wei Yi was fascinated by this exquisite painting. couldn't help but turn his head and ask Shen Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, what are you painting?" It's a great drawing. ”

Shen Xiaoman was praised by Wei Mi, smiled "hehe", stepped forward, pointed to the paintings, and explained them to Wei Mi one by one.

"Well, this is the picture of Mom and Dad and me." She pointed to the first painting and said a little sadly, "It's just that Mom is not here now." Dad couldn't see it either. ”

Wei Yi was afraid that she would think of those sad things, so she hurriedly spoke, trying to divert her attention: "What about the latter ones?" Who are the paintings? ”

As soon as Shen Xiaoman was interrupted by him, his attention was diverted from the first painting. She looked in the direction Wei Yu was pointing. She looked at the remaining two paintings and hurriedly explained: "This one, the painting is that my father is sick." Xiao Man was so sad that she cried. That, hehe, it's Brother Wei who drew it. ”

Wei Yi understood the meaning of these paintings, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. This little child, in the time when he was full of childhood joy, has experienced so many tribulations. The misfortunes of the parents, the great changes in the outside world, and the struggle to survive alone in the wilderness, these things that should not have appeared in this child's life have appeared one after another. Fortunately, his appearance saved their lives and brought them to the rescue. Wei Yi secretly told himself in his heart that he wanted to make this unfortunate child a little happier and warmer.

He smiled "haha", and after praising Shen Xiaoman a few words, he changed the topic and asked about the other items in the room.

"Where did all this stuff come from? I remember when we came, we didn't have any of these things. He asked, pointing to a few clothes hanging on the wall and a large pile of puppets stacked on the bed.

Shen Xiaoman smiled "hehe", pointed to the female soldiers outside the room and said, "They were all given to me by my sisters." Xiao Man liked it very much. I don't have to be scared to sleep at night. ”

The female soldiers outside the house listened to the conversation between Wei Yi and Shen Xiaoman. They smiled kindly at Shen Xiaoman, and someone said, "If Xiaoman likes it, there are still sisters there." I'll give you a few more another day. ”

Shen Xiaoman happily agreed. Wei Yi nodded at them very gratefully, and turned his head sideways to continue chatting with Shen Xiaoman.

Shen Xiaoman and Wei Yu talked and ran out. She hurriedly brought Wei Yi a lot of melon and fruit snacks, and personally ran to the kitchen to boil a large pot of hot water and brewed a cup of coconut water to quench Wei Yi's thirst. The conditions here are indeed much better than when they lived underground.

Wei Yi took a sip of steaming coconut water. The mellow and fragrant pure coconut water has a unique tropical southern flavor in the mouth. It's one of his favorite flavors. Once upon a time, he would have a drink every day. But since the disaster, he hasn't had a chance to taste it. Before, he only mentioned it inadvertently, but he didn't expect Shen Xiaoman to actually write it down.

He slowly tasted the coconut juice in his cup and listened to Shen Xiaoman happily talk about his life here. At this moment, he suddenly thought of the sentence he had read: "The years are quiet, and the present world is stable." What a life it is.

He glanced out the window at the very high pile of snow, and suddenly remembered something. He put down the cup and asked with a smile, "Xiaoman, Brother Wei remembers that you said you were going to build a snowman." Heaped up? ”

Shen Xiaoman shook his head and said, "No." Brother Wei, you're not here, Dad isn't here, Xiaoman is not in the mood. ”

Wei Yi leaned forward and asked gently, "Then how about we pile one up now?" Soon, your dad will be fine. How about we surprise him? ”

Shen Xiaoman nodded happily, obviously agreeing with the idea. Wei Yi drank the last sip of coconut water and took Shen Xiaoman out to build a snowman. Several female soldiers followed them, keeping watch around them.

Wei Yi skillfully rolled out several heavy snow clusters. He pushed these snow balls in front of Shen Xiaoman and carefully taught her to build snowmen.

"Whew, it's so cold." Shen Xiaoman rubbed his hands and sighed softly.

Wei Yi smiled and encouraged: "Work harder, and it won't be cold for a while." ”

"Hmm." Shen Xiaoman nodded and continued to pile up. She piled on and on, and suddenly her childlike heart rose. She glanced at Wei Yi quietly, and saw that Wei Yi didn't notice her, so she snickered a little, quietly pinched a snow ball, and suddenly threw it towards Wei Yi.

"Pop" snow ball smashed into Wei Yi's chest, exploding a large cloud of snowflakes.

"Hey! It's good that you Xiaoman, you actually attacked me. Look at me! Wei Yi wiped the snowflakes on his clothes and said with a smile.

He also picked up a snow ball and threw it towards Shen Xiaoman. Shen Xiaoman smiled "haha" and ran towards several female soldiers. She shouted as she ran, "Sister, sister, save me." ”

"Haha, don't run. Let me miss it once. Wei Yi chased and lost, and a few snow balls narrowly wiped Shen Xiaoman's clothes and fell to the ground, but they were never missed.

"Haha, I can't miss, I can't miss." Shen Xiaoman laughed proudly, trotted, ran to the middle of the female soldiers, and hid.

Wei Yi was also unceremonious to these female soldiers, pinched the snow ball and threw it over, hitting one of them. The man "giggled", and under Shen Xiaoman's prodding, he also pinched up a snow ball and fought back.

Wei Yi's childlike innocence has been completely released at this moment. Like a big child, he picked up the snow ball and threw it away when he saw someone. Under Shen Xiaoman's instigation, those female soldiers also joined the battle group and fought together. And Shen Xiaoman, a clever ghost, scurried around among the crowd and had a lot of fun.

All of a sudden, everyone present experienced the happiness they had not seen for a long time. Whether it was Wei Yi, Shen Xiaoman, or those female soldiers, everyone's faces were filled with cheerful expressions.

In the vast snow, bursts of laughter spread far away. This simple happiness has gradually infected many people. This cold winter is gradually getting warmer.
