Chapter 393: The Story of the Year
Taking care of children is really an abrasive project, and Chen Hang didn't expect to explain these things to Hope. It took a little time, and Chen Hang finally let Hope understand what was going on with the eldest aunt, and Hope's frightened mood slowly calmed down.
Re-onboarding, hoping that she didn't put the earphones into her ears again for the first time, she began to humbly ask Chen Hang about some of the confusions she had been having, Chen Hang answered them one by one, hoping to say convincingly:
"I said old fellow, you still know a lot about women!"
Chen Hang is sweating profusely, these days I hope that the old guy will be short, Chen Hang is really scared by her, but this child is finally willing to communicate with himself, this is another excellent thing, Chen Hang is very happy that she is willing to listen to a little of her own advice.
Dinner was at the end of the night, the sky was full of stars like a river sprinkled with broken gold, and Chen Hang lit a big bonfire on the river beach.
The pot for cooking porridge was found temporarily, and the boiled rice was boiling in the boiling water, and a faint fragrance wafted out of the pot, and Hope took a breath with satisfaction, and she exclaimed:
"Old fellow, your skills are pretty good!"
Chen Hang smiled and picked a handful of wild vegetables from the side, he tore these wild vegetables and threw them into the pot, hoping to stop Chen Hang's movements immediately, but soon a strange fragrance wafted out of the pot.
"Hey, what is this?" Hope asked curiously.
Chen Hang replied with a smile: "Coriander, we used to like it as a kind of seasoning for side dishes, but now they grow everywhere." ”
Chen Hang served the porridge to Hope, and Hope puffed out his mouth and praised while drinking. After eating half a bowl, I hope asked curiously:
"I think it's actually a lot of fun now, but I often hear you talk about how it used to be. Why don't you tell me about the past, old fellow, I want to see what was good in the past? ”
Chen Hang smiled and pointed to the backpack of hope:
"The music you listen to is the stuff of the past, and the records of life like soap operas. Well, since you want to know, let me tell you about the past......"
Summer insects cry at night, night owls hunting, hope quietly listened to Chen Hang's narration, her hands supported her chin, the curls on her head splashed down, and two points of starlight flashed in the pupils of hope.
After a long time, Hope sighed: "The previous life was really exciting!" ”
Chen Hang smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is human civilization, what we are most proud of, everyone can show their existence in their favorite way." ”
Hope nodded and said, "That's right, it's a very good life." Old fellow, the next time you come across that kind of tattooed device, you have to tell me, I want to tattoo a tiger on my chest, wow, how majestic that is! ”
Chen Hang was really forced to sweat by this non-mainstream. After talking about things for a long time, she wrote down the tattoo, hoping for a healthy complexion, who will show the tattoo? Chen Hang had already made up his mind in his heart that he would go around the tattoo parlor next time.
The summer night is beautiful, and the stars are like the eyes of the sky, they sparkle and shine, sprinkling the hazy night all over the land.
Chen Hang and Hope lay on their backs on the ground, and the bonfire next to them made a "snap" sound from time to time, hoping that they hadn't said for a long time, but after a long time, she suddenly asked:
"Let's talk about my mother's situation, I heard Sister Zhenzhen say that my mother and I were rescued by you."
Chen Hang sighed softly, he glanced at Hope, Hope's expression did not change a little, Chen Hang asked softly:
"Jane and Xiaoqing, didn't they tell you about your mother?"
"I was too young to remember."
"Oh, then let me tell you about your mother. Your mother's name is Annie, and she's a great woman......"
Hope quietly listened to Chen Hang's story, and Chen Hang recounted Anne's efforts - she gave birth to her daughter when the apocalypse broke out, and then Anne began a life of survival centered on protecting Hope.
"She's a mechanic, and she used to repair our aircraft carriers. Your mom was even able to connect to the satellite, she received a distress signal from Xiaoqing's sister, and we picked Xiaoqing back from the sky......"
Chen Hang paid attention to the changes in hope as she spoke, hoping to listen very carefully, she would occasionally ask a little detail, Chen Hang always answered patiently, Chen Hang noticed that Hope's eyes gradually moistened.
"How did my mom die?"
Finally, Hope asked this core question, Chen Hang sighed, and he replied softly:
"Anne was poisoned to save you......"
Chen Hang slowly recounted what had happened back then, Hope still listened expressionlessly, and finally, the tears flowed from her eyes, and Hope slowly turned around, but Chen Hang could see her body twitching slightly.
When Chen Hang finished saying everything, Hope whispered:
"After my mother died, did her soul rest in peace?"
Chen Hang replied softly, "If you get it, her soul will definitely enter heaven." ”
Hope sat quietly for a while, she stood up, Hope bowed to Chen Hang, and she said very earnestly:
"Uncle Chen, thank you!"
……
Since this day, Chen Hang has been very pleased to see the change of hope. Hoping to stop calling Chen Hang "old guy", she did something and began to ask Chen Hang's opinion.
Hope is still as stubborn as a rebellious child, she still likes that kind of harsh music, but I hope that when she does something that Chen Hang doesn't approve, she begins to know to take into account Chen Hang's feelings.
The two of them drove the broken car to the middle of the continent, and the broken car broke out a little problem from time to time, and Chen Hang had to stop often to repair it. Hope began to offer help, but the strike of the broken car seriously affected the trip of the two.
On this day, the wrecked car drove into the middle of Yellowstone, where it stopped in a canyon.
Black smoke came out of the engine, the roar was intermittent, and the broken car finally fell silent after struggling for a while.
No matter how Chen Hang repaired it and how he wanted to kick it, the broken car was motionless - it was finally completely scrapped.
Chen Hang and Hope could only pack the things they needed into two backpacks, and each of them carried one on their backs and set off towards the depths of the canyon on foot.
This is the quintessential landscape of Yellowstone, with towering red hills towering over the banks of the river valley. These red hills rise and fall, and they stand in rows or lonely over the vast expanse of land. As far as the eye can see, the whole wilderness is left with only eternal silence.
