Chapter 17: No Man's City (14) Night
Lin Ya and Wang Guoen went not long before they came back with a pot and some food, looking at the amount of food, Lin Ya should have only taken what he needed for this meal, and the rest was estimated to be still in the car.
Wolf Fang found some wooden sticks and stuck them in the soil, and easily built a simple rack for hanging pots, and Lin Ya also began to prepare food, with Chen Yun helping on the side.
Waiting is the longest thing to do, especially when you're hungry, and waiting for food to be ready can be especially painful.
When the smell of food wafted out, the warm aroma penetrated into my nostrils with the cool breeze of the night, making me unconsciously secrete bursts of saliva in my mouth. After all, when I was locked up in the endless room before, there were only a few kinds of food I had, and the aroma of these foods was really long gone.
Looking at a few people around me, some people like Chen Yun and Wang Guoen were more subtle and didn't show it too obviously, while Mecca looked completely like a hungry wolf, and under the light of the fire, I felt like I could see his eyes glowing green.
When the food was ready, Lin Ya gave it to us, and for a while everyone didn't speak again, all our minds were immersed in the bowl of hot soup in our hands, and all our senses were used to feel the simple but fragrant taste.
I held the soup bowl in my hand, the ethereal white gas mixed with the tempting aroma of the food, and the heat of the soup passed through the bowl to my hand and spread to the bottom of my heart. Bow your head and gently suck a small sip, and the hot soup enters the mouth, as if every taste bud is activated. The ingredients are simmered badly, the sweet aroma of carrots and the rich texture of potatoes ripple in the mouth, and the fat of the meat adds a sweetness and meaty aroma to the soup.
This is really not a delicacies of the mountains and seas, just a bowl of soup, but at this time, in this breezy and cool night, in this room that may die at any time, in this fire where people who did not know each other a day ago, a bowl of hot soup soothes not only the hungry stomach, but also the panicked heart.
It's ridiculous to say that after being locked up in a room for so long, food has long been a necessity for me, I need it, but I don't want it. In the long torment of anorexia and gluttony, I even hated the food, the act of chewing it, and the feeling of it crossing my taste buds when I swallowed it, which for me had long since lost all its function of enjoyment. I never thought I'd love it again one day.
However, right now, just a bowl of hot soup unexpectedly brought me a sense of security, unexpectedly soothed the nerves that I had been nervous all day long, and unexpectedly made me feel that it was good to be alive.
It's just a bowl of hot soup, and it's really not a delicacy of the mountains and seas, but at this point, it's a delicacy.
"Do you still like it? You seem to be in a good mood. ”
I looked up at Lin Ya's voice when I heard him, and he was looking at me with a smile, the heat of the soup bowl in his hand rising, making his face hidden behind the white smoke.
"I like it... Your cooking skills are really good. I smiled, and although I didn't know what would happen in the next moment in this eerie room, at least for this moment, I enjoyed the moment.
"Huh... It's just an ordinary bowl of soup, and you can praise you for your good cooking, if only the guests of the restaurant were as easily satisfied as you. Lin Ya smiled, took my bowl and added some more for me: "The food I make can be liked by the people who eat it, and for the chef, it is the happiest thing." ”
Smiling and thanking me, I took the soup in my hand and drank it slowly, feeling that my stomach was satisfied for the first time in a long time.
"Did you bring a lot of food?" He Yan suddenly interjected, it seemed that he should be asking Lin Ya.
"It's not a lot, I don't think it will last long, we still need to find other food sources." Lin Ya replied politely.
In other words, the wolf's tooth guess is really correct, the food we took from the forest cliff cellar can last for about three days.
He Yan seemed to be very interested in the problem of food, and continued to ask, "Where did you put the food?" ”
"What do you mean?" Without waiting for Lin Ya to answer, Wolf Tooth asked first.
Hearing the sound of wolf fangs, I turned my head to look at him and found that he was staring at He Yan motionlessly waiting for him to answer.
He Yan also looked afraid of wolf fangs, and his voice was much quieter under the wolf's gaze: "Huh? Not... Nothing, it's just... I'm just worried about the safety of the food, just ask... Feel free to ask......"
"Don't worry, the food is in my van, the keys are here, the door is locked, it'll be fine." Lin Ya smiled and replied kindly, and He Yan, who got the answer, didn't say anything more.
When the pot of soup was divided between the seven of us, Wolf Fang took out the small notebook with the map drawn again: "Have you eaten it all?" There are some things I think we might as well discuss. ”
As he spoke, he showed the book to the three people: "This is some of the conclusions we have gathered from the intelligence and reasoning we have gathered in the past day, I think you must have discovered something today, just let us communicate, after all, everything here is unfamiliar, and it always doesn't hurt to know more." ”
Next, it is represented by the wolf tooth, briefly told the four of us today's itinerary and discovery, listening to his story, I found that the wolf tooth really has a very clear idea and careful thinking, he completely grasped all the key points, and did not let go of any useful details, I listened carefully to his every word, but found that I could not find the content that needed to be added at all, which shows that he not only has a clear mind, but also has a strong ability to analyze and summarize information, This should definitely not be something that an ordinary person would have.
Spike... Lost your memory? Your identity... What is it?
After the wolf tooth finished speaking, Wang Guoen nodded: "That's it... I've already understood what you're saying, is there anything else you'd like to add? ”
Hehe, completely like a leader listening to the report of his subordinates, I suspect that Wang Guoen will not speak well.
Wolf Fang glanced at Wang Guoen lightly, there seemed to be a flash of contempt in his eyes, I don't know if I was wrong: "I'm done with what I'm going to say, you can draw a map of the area where you are first, Chen Yun, you come first." ”
As he spoke, he handed the notebook to Chen Yun, then turned to Wang Guoen and said, "What about you?" Did you find anything in the day? ”
"Ahh Discover... Like you, the same, I thought that you are not young people, and you must not see as comprehensively as I do, I originally wanted to give you a chance to perform first, and then I will add, but I didn't expect you to find out what I found. Yes, yes, the young man is very capable, he is a malleable talent, haha. ”
Just now, when Wolf Tooth asked Chen Yun to improve the map, I clearly saw that Wang Guoen's face had become ugly, and when Wolf Tooth asked him again, he pretended to smile again. Besides, listen to what he said, what he said, he found out, and what he said to give him a chance to perform. I've never seen anyone so brazen, and I really want to say it to him, and make a face.
I'm really curious about how Wolf Fang will react to this kind of person, according to what I think, his strong temper that cannot be questioned should directly open his mouth to tear Wang Guoen's disgusting smile. However, when I looked at the wolf's teeth, he didn't speak, just squinted at Wang Guoen with a blank face. Having received this "death gaze", I naturally know how much pressure it will cause you when the wolf fang does not speak and just squints at you. To be honest, I've always felt that there is a kind of momentum on the wolf's body that ordinary people don't have, and you may not feel it at ordinary times, but when he targets someone, this momentum is revealed, and it makes people feel extremely dangerous.
I watched Wang Guoen under the gaze of the wolffang, from the beginning of the calm and calm gaze to the current fidgeting, under the wolffang's "death gaze", his self-holding posture finally weakened, until he finally unnaturally turned away from the wolf's fang, the wolffang retracted his gaze.
Wolf Fang said: "Then there is no problem tonight, everyone is tired for a day, let's rest first, and we will talk about it tomorrow." ”
During the confrontation between the two just now, neither I nor the rest of the people spoke, only the occasional crackling sound of the wood being burned by the fire, probably because I felt the secret confrontation between the wolf tooth and Wang Guoen.
And now that the wolf tooth spoke again, Mecca beside me also leaned into my ear and whispered, "Sister Mo Li, what happened just now?" Why did everyone stop talking all of a sudden? I was so scared that I thought something was wrong, but I didn't dare to speak. What just happened? ”
What just happened...... I turned my head to look at Mecca, who was looking at me with a confused expression, the young man was quite handsome, but why was he so stupid...... Well, I take back what I just said, "I feel that the wolf's teeth and Wang Guoen are secretly clashing", after all, there are stupid babies like Mecca in the world, I want to forgive him, and care for the growth of mentally handicapped children: "It's nothing, it's nothing, don't care." ”
"Can't you go to live in the factory? It's windy outside and it's still a little chilly......"
As soon as I finished speaking, Chen Yun's voice came from the other side. Chen Yun even sounded gentle like water, looking at the look on the face of Mai Jia next to him, it is estimated that the bones are about to be crispy.
It seems that he has just lost face in the confrontation with the wolf teeth, Wang Guoen put on a host appearance at this time and said: "I'm afraid this won't work, I just took Lin Ya to my factory to get a pot and took a look, my factory is also full of blood stains and maggots, and the smell is also very strong, and it can't live people." ”
One bite of "mine", "mine", do you really think that this kind of broken factory full of maggots and full of stinks is anyone? I rolled my eyes silently, my good impression of Wang Guoen has become "0", if it can't be calculated as a negative number.
Wolf Fang glanced at Wang Guoen and didn't react again, but just said: "Then let's do it, everyone will work and rest by the fire." But after all, there may still be danger now, so we have to leave one person on duty for the night, and the five of us men will take turns, and change people every hour and a half. He Yan, Wang Guoen, you two wait first, Chen Yun has finished drawing the map, and you will go to sleep after drawing. I'll be on the first shift, and the rest of us will rest first. ”
Since I had nothing to do, I found a place a little farther away from the fire, and lay down with my back to the fire.
It was really uncomfortable to sleep directly on the floor, it was cold and hard, and it was not at all comparable to my cot, but the fatigue of a long day made me less picky. He rested on his arm and closed his eyes, and the sound of the summer insects and the cracking of wood was still in his ears, and he could faintly hear the sound of his heartbeat and blood flowing from his arm.
In such an environment, my consciousness slowly blurred, and I gradually fell asleep until I ......
"Ahh No... Don't come here! Yes! Save... Not!!! ”
The screams came from afar, waking me up from my sleep, and I reflexively sat up from the ground at once, and the trance that I had just woken up from was completely startled by the terrible sound, and I turned my head to see the same frightened faces.
"Who? Who's calling? ”
"It seems to be He Yan!"
