Everything was calm, and the night seemed to be particularly long.

Samur still didn't wake up, and Sheena just stayed in the ward for a while before continuing to go back to study the serum. I don't know how Samuel will feel when he wakes up and learns the news of the death of his two companions.

Luthor was executed by the shoals, his light armor removed, and his body buried at sea. The dark tide swept him into darkness, and the hunters were in a gloomy mood. Even if they are traitors, they have lost the power of a hunter.

Sheena was very worried, and took the short dagger that scratched Erin back to the hospital for examination, but fortunately there was no monster toxin, so the serum treatment was omitted. Lorne was relieved, too.

Late at night, the town was silent, and the lights of the streets were extinguished, except for the steam lanterns of the pilgrims on the outskirts of the town. In order to save resources as much as possible, the street lights are turned off after 10 o'clock at night, and at the same time, to ensure that the monsters lurking in the dark will not be noticed.

On the long street next to the hospital, in a low room with red tile and stone walls, the candlelight on the table flickered, reflecting the faces of two people.

Lorne sat at the table with his head hung and his fingers crossed, looking at Erin facing him, and felt very uncomfortable. If I hadn't taken half a step away from her, maybe I wouldn't have let her get kidnapped and get hurt, right?

He felt that many of the things that had happened in the past two days were his fault. In the barn, he could have saved Bawen, outside the warning area, Samur's arm would not have been cut off if he had reacted quickly, and if she hadn't visited the princess tonight, Erin would not have been hurt.

Lorne was frustrated. He felt as if fate was playing tricks on him, allowing him to make up for these mistakes in the most helpless ways, such as stuttering Bon with his own hands, or executing Luthor.

Erin looked at Lorne, and the bandaged hand slowly reached over and put it on the back of his hand: "Lorne." ”

Lorne looked up in a daze, not saying a word. Erin smiled lightly, "What are you thinking?"

Lorne had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't say a word, just shook his head: "It's nothing. ”

Erin pursed her lips, paused, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

As soon as she reminded him, Lorne felt a tightening in his stomach and took a deep breath. I haven't eaten much for the past two days, and the fighting has not stopped, and now that I have eased up, I feel a little dizzy. He said, "I'm hungry." ”

"I'll get you something to eat. Erin smiled sweetly, "I brought back a lot of vegetables from the planting area today to cook soup for you to drink." ”

"Thank you. Lorne said.

"Don't say thank you. It's too out-of-the-box. Erin stood up and walked over to him, "If anything, I should say it." Thank you for saving me, twice. ”

Lorne was about to say that it was Yugosia who had come to help, but as soon as he spoke, Erin put her index finger to her lips, and then went to the wooden table and took a white radish and a potato, and scooped a spoonful of water by the large porcelain jar.

Lorne looked at her back, and suddenly felt a little moved. But soon he got up and walked over and took the water ladle: "Your hand is injured, don't get wet, I'll come." ”

Erin was stunned and chuckled, "You...... I'm quite good at caring about people. ”

Lorne wanted to smile at her, but he always felt that he couldn't get it, and the corners of his mouth twitched and nodded. He cut up the washed ingredients, put them in an iron pot, and scooped up a large spoonful of water.

Erin leaned down to collect some firewood, lit it with flint, and put it in the steamer stove and closed the valve. Lorne put the iron pot on the stovetop, sprinkled some seasoning, and went back to the table.

Erin packed up her chair as well, but lifted the wooden chair to Lorne's side and sat next to each other. Tired, she covered her mouth and yawned, then leaned gently on Lorne's shoulder.

Lorne didn't know if she was sleepy or if she leaned over on purpose, but he didn't pull away. The scent of flowers on her body was tickling, and Lorne quietly raised his right hand, and suddenly felt the urge to put it on her shoulder, but finally put it on the side of the wooden chair.

"It's been almost six months here, and every day is really busy. Erin whispered, "It's been a long time since we've eaten meat. Many pigs died of the plague last month, and there are fewer than 50 piglets left...... I want to eat meat. ”

Looking at her emaciated face, Lorne felt a little distressed, but there was nothing he could do.

"But fortunately, the initial stage of Sheena's purification serum has been developed, and the experiment will be conducted tomorrow morning. Come with me. Erin whispered, "I hope everything goes well." ”

"Okay. Lorne replied softly, "But how is this thing going to be experimented with?"

"The centurion has locked some mutated monsters outside the city, and we'll go there tomorrow morning to experiment. Erin said, "Some of the pigs are contaminated, their skin is peeling off, and there are all kinds of ......," she said no more, thinking of the fetering pig monsters, and she only felt disgusted.

"That kind of thing, even if it can be purified by serum, can it really be restored?" Lorne also thought it was a bit fantastical, "Even if it can be restored...... Is it really edible?"

"Who knows? We have no other way. Erin sighed, "If you wait for the livestock to breed on their own, I'm afraid you will starve to death sooner or later." ”

Lorne was silent. The world is pushing him to the brink of madness every minute, but he promised Yugoshia that he would recapture Nokmar together and protect Erin, so he would not give up anything.

Erin blinked, smacked her lips slightly, and suddenly said, "Centurion...... I haven't assigned you a place to live yet. ”

Lorne was stunned: "Not yet." ”

"Then don't leave tonight, stay with me. Two pear vortices appeared on Erin's face.

"Okay. Lorne had no intention of leaving.

Suddenly, the two stopped talking, and sat in front of the candlelight, listening to the soft sound of the steam cooker. Erin squinted her eyes as if she was asleep, and Lorne just looked at her, reluctant to look away for a second.

Lorne suddenly remembered Yugoxia's words, maybe Erin really had some good feelings for herself, and he didn't dare to make up his mind, but no matter what, he wanted to stay by her side all the time.

I don't know how long later, the air holes on the steam boiler spewed white mist, accompanied by the sound of boiling water. Erin shuddered suddenly, as if she had been woken up, but she only whined like a kitten and fell asleep again.

Lorne couldn't help but smile lightly, gently straightened her back against the wooden chair, and walked away lightly, bringing the steamer down. When the lid is lifted, a faint fragrance wafts away.

Lorne looked at her, not sure whether to wake her up for soup or let her continue to sleep. After thinking about it, Lorne picked up Erin with both hands and walked gently to the back room.

Erin didn't know what she was dreaming about, the corners of her eyes were a little moist, and she unconsciously put her hands around Lorne's neck, and her body trembled slightly. Lorne covered her with the quilt and involuntarily leaned closer, then paused, shook his head, and returned to the table for soup.
