Chapter 22: All the way north

The Shen family's father and daughter moved extremely fast, but in just half an hour, a table of steaming food was placed in front of everyone. Potatoes and beef, sardines, stir-fried cabbage, etc., are all home-cooked stir-fries, and the taste and smell are extremely delicious.

Li Mingyu sniffed deeply, gave a thumbs up, and praised sincerely: "The craftsmanship is awesome, and it is very appetizing to look at." ”

Li Xiaohui didn't say a word, picked up the chopsticks and took a mouthful of cabbage and stuffed it into her mouth. She chewed and said, "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious." Much better than the dry food we brought. It's been a long time since I've eaten something so refreshing. ”

As she spoke, she hurriedly grabbed another chopstick and stuffed it into her mouth. Everyone looked at her gobbling up her appearance, and they all smiled knowingly. In today's environment, it is indeed an extremely rare thing to be able to eat such a home-cooked stir-fry.

Li Mingyu smiled apologetically at everyone, and said a little embarrassed: "My cousin is like this, she is spoiled by me. Forgive me, forgive me. ”

Shen Cheng filled a few bowls of rice and handed them to everyone present. He smiled at Li Mingyu and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's okay, eat more if you can." That's a lot. Come, come, don't just sit. Move the chopsticks, move the chopsticks. ”

Everyone raised their chopsticks and feasted. Only Shen Xiaoman ate in small bites, secretly glancing at the new two from time to time.

Wei Yi glanced sideways at her situation, smiled knowingly, and added a sardine and stuffed it into her bowl. He said to Shen Xiaoman kindly: "Today, let's let go and eat." Brother Li and Miss Xiaohui are here to pick us up. Don't hold back, just eat. If you don't eat much, you'll be tired when we move. You don't want your dad and me to carry so many things. ”

Shen Xiaoman's eyes widened, and she looked at Wei Yi in disbelief, and she asked in a low voice, "Are they here to pick us up?" After that, don't we all have to save food anymore? Dad and Brother Wei don't have to go hungry anymore, do they? ”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a brief silence at the table. For a while, everyone's hearts were filled with a sour feeling. Shen Cheng turned his head and secretly wiped away the overflowing tears; Li Mingyu looked at the few people in front of him in a little surprise and the extremely sumptuous lunch on this table; Li Xiaohui stuffed a large piece of cooked beef in her mouth and was stunned.

Wei Yi sandwiched a piece of braised pork and was about to stuff it into Shen Xiaoman's bowl. When he heard Shen Xiaoman's words, he was slightly stunned, and quickly recovered. He stuffed the braised pork into Shen Xiaoman's bowl and said kindly: "Yes, in the future, it won't be so tight." We don't have to go out and find something to eat by ourselves. Here, eat more. Usually I always secretly save it, do you think your father and I don't know? Now, hurry up and eat. ”

Shen Xiaoman stuck out his tongue, ate obediently, and said no more. Although Wei Yi said so to Shen Xiaoman, he had no bottom in his heart. He turned his head to look at Li Mingyu and Li Xiaohui, and asked with his eyes.

Li Mingyu put down his chopsticks and was about to say something, but Li Xiaohui took the lead to make a guarantee: "Don't worry, as long as we have a bite to eat, we will definitely not be hungry for you." Brother, did you say? ”

Li Mingyu glanced at her, nodded, and said slowly: "Yes, you don't have to worry about the food problem." The state has a specific distribution plan. You'll find out when you go. ”

Such an answer, while full of possibilities, is much stronger and safer than going out alone.

Wei Yi smiled at Li Xiaohui gratefully, thanked Li Mingyu again, and then quickly took a few bites of rice and ate it.

After lunch, Wei Yu and the others simply packed up their belongings and left the place with Li Mingyu and the others.

Shen Xiaoman's heart was full of joy. She looked at the white snow in front of her, pulled the corner of Wei Yi's clothes, and asked expectantly, "Brother Wei, when we get there, will you accompany me out to build a snowman?" I've never had this much snow before, and I'd like to build one, okay? ”

Wei Yi replied, "Okay, when we get there, let's go build a big snowman." How about putting a carrot nose on it, black eyes, and a broom for it? ”

Shen Xiaoman was very happy and nodded vigorously. Shen Cheng lovingly put on a hat for her, wrapped himself in winter clothes, and said gratefully to Wei Yi: "Xiao Wei, thank you very much." If it weren't for you, Xiaoman and I probably wouldn't have been able to wait for today. ”

Wei Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said earnestly: "Brother Shen, I treat you as my own eldest brother, and you can see what you say." Xiaoman, this kid will like it when you see it, I take care of you, that's a matter of duty, why do you say thank you or not? I'm out there. ”

Shen Cheng nodded, took Shen Xiaoman's hand with a smile, and slowly left after Wei Yi. He no longer said any words of gratitude, but he remembered it deeply in his heart. This simple man always adheres to such a sentence: "The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring." "At this time, there is no spring, and he will be a hundredfold of thanksgiving. Even if you take this life, you will not hesitate to do it.

People who do not have the pressure of survival are in a very happy and happy mood. The three of them talked and laughed, and as Li Mingyu and the two drifted apart, they soon returned to the place where they were separated yesterday.

Li Xiaohui took out the communicator and tried to contact the other team. But she tried for a long time, but the other end of the communicator was still unresponsive.

Li Mingyu saw that something was wrong, and asked, "What?" Haven't got in touch yet? Have you tried all the channels? ”

Li Xiaohui replied a little anxiously: "I tried, I tried everything." If you don't react, nothing will happen, right? If only we hadn't separated. ”

Li Mingyu didn't answer, he frowned and thought for a while, as if he thought of something, raised his eyebrows, and quickly ordered: "Quick, let's get out of here first." Xiaohui, you immediately contact the headquarters and ask to see if they have sent a message to the headquarters. ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Li Xiaohui to answer, he eagerly greeted Wei Yi and the others, and hurriedly set off the road.

Li Xiaohui dialed the headquarters, and after asking, she really got the news. She quickly ran to Li Mingyu's side and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, the headquarters said that they sent a text message in the middle of the night last night, saying that they had found a cave and found some signs of human activity in the cave, and they decided to go deep into the cave to investigate." ”

Li Mingyu frowned, secretly blamed those people for their recklessness in his heart, and asked, "What happened later?" Any other news? ”

Li Xiaohui shook her head and returned with a little loss: "It's gone." They haven't been back since then. The headquarters thought we were together, so they didn't care. I have just reported the situation. Headquarters asked us to bring people back first. ”

Li Mingyu nodded, "um", and didn't speak again, just urging everyone to hurry.

Wei Yi knew that things had changed, and after discussing it with Shen Cheng, he decisively picked up Shen Xiaoman and accelerated the overall pace of the team.

Li Mingyu was grateful, he didn't speak, he just nodded towards Wei Yi and Shen Cheng, and led everyone first, hurried towards the destination, and quickly hurried. They sprinted all the way, leaving a long trail of footprints in the thick snow.

The night soon caught up with them, enveloping the land. Between heaven and earth, they were once again plunged into endless darkness. Li Mingyu skillfully commanded the crowd, piling up debris and setting traps. They quickly found a makeshift camping spot among a few abandoned cars.

After dinner, Wei Yi sat alone in front of the crackling bonfire, silent. Shen Xiaoman and Shen Cheng got into the simple tent early and fell asleep deeply. Li Xiaohui walked out of her tent and saw Wei Yi bowing her head in contemplation in front of the bonfire.

She chuckled, walked a few steps to Wei Mi's side, glanced at Wei Mi, and sat down on the ground. Wei Yi looked up and saw that it was her, greeted him with a smile, and asked casually, "Why haven't you slept yet?" Where's your cousin? ”

Li Xiaohui spread her hands and said helplessly: "He, he should have arranged a cordon around him." What about you? Why didn't you sleep? What are you thinking? ”

Wei Yi stared at the constantly jumping flames, and said slowly: "I remembered some people, as well as my parents. I don't know what happened to them. ”

He said slowly, his heart involuntarily flashed over his father's clothes, and a faint sadness slowly filled his whole heart. He closed his eyes in some pain, stroked his forehead gently, and tried to fade away from the scene.

Li Xiaohui was keenly aware of Wei Yi's emotional changes. She pursed her lips and said comfortingly: "Don't think about the past anymore, everything will be fine in the future." ”

Wei Yi smiled at her reluctantly, unwilling to continue on the topic. He stared at the blazing flames, lost in thought, and remained silent for a long time. Li Xiaohui sat quietly beside him for a long time, until Li Mingyu came to call her, then said hello to Wei Yi and left slowly.

Wei Yi sat quietly alone for a long time, and it was not until Li Mingyu came to urge him that he got up and returned to his tent, and fell asleep hastily with restlessness.

The next morning, before it was full of light, Wei Yi woke up. When he got up and left the tent, he found that Li Mingyu was still standing guard in front of the campfire.

He walked over a few steps, said hello to Li Mingyu, and asked strangely, "You didn't sleep all night yesterday?" ”

Li Mingyu shook his head and said slowly, "I can't sleep." Why do you wake up so early? ”

Wei Yi found a place at random, sat on the ground, and replied casually: "I can't sleep well." How long do we have to go? ”

Li Mingyu smiled and returned: "It's still far away, and you can't just walk." ”

Wei Yi asked Li Mingyu with his eyes what he meant by this?

Li Mingyu continued: "According to the current progress, it will take about two days to walk to a camp. After I send you there, Xiaohui will take you to the shelter, and I will continue to come out with another team. ”

Wei Yi nodded, and continued to ask, "Are you looking for something?" If you can, tell me how I can help. ”

Li Mingyu shook his head and denied without thinking: "No, we are only responsible for coming out to search and rescue survivors." I'm a little tired, go squint for a while, and then Xiaohui will get up, you let her call me. ”

Wei Yi nodded in agreement. Li Mingyu smiled kindly at Wei Yu, got up and went back to his tent.

Wei Yi looked at Li Mingyu's tent and shook his head gently. He didn't believe it, Li Mingyu was telling the truth.

"Forget it, it's not my business, so why bother so much." He smiled self-deprecatingly, got up and went off.

"Oops!"

When Wei Yi was untying his hand, a woman's exclamation suddenly came from behind him, which made him tremble and drench himself in a panic. He hurriedly pulled the zipper, turned around and looked, and happened to see Li Xiaohui running away. He smiled wryly, feeling very embarrassed in his heart.

"What's going on today? It's a coincidence that they all got up so early. He muttered and walked quickly back to the campsite.

During breakfast, Li Xiaohui kept blushing, dodging Wei Mi's gaze, which made Wei Mi extremely uncomfortable. He ate a few bites hastily, then went back to the tent and packed his things.

With the goal of the journey, it is extremely easy to walk. After two days of long travel, Wei Yi and his party finally arrived at their destination. Looking at the busy crowd and the numerous armored vehicles in front of him, Wei Mi finally had a sense of steadiness in his heart.
