...

"Whew... Exhausted! ”

Ling Ze felt that his whole body was sore, especially when his back was straightened, it was uncomfortable, and his shoulders seemed to be out of his body's control.

It was a little difficult to wipe the sweat beads on his face, and it was usually such a simple action, but now it was a little troublesome to do.

He glanced inside the room, unconsciously showing a look of envy.

“...”

Aoba's father on the side silently lit a cigarette, sat on the stone bench outside the house, and subconsciously glanced inside the house.

vaguely saw that the baby daughter was taking care of a man he met for the first time, and that gentle gesture made him a little bored, and subconsciously took a hard breath.

"Whew..."

The intoxicating smoke slowly exhaled from the mouth of the middle-aged man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, he stared at the smoke drifting away in the wind, and said slowly: "Don't be stunned, go cook, remember to prepare some gruel for that guy." ”

"Yes..."

Ling Ze's expression became subtle, and in the end he had to respond with a sad face.

I had to be tired of carrying the guy back, and I had to serve him to eat, and I knew that I would not agree to bring the man back if he said anything.

There was a sudden movement on the side of the main house, and Aoba's father hurriedly stood up, extinguished the cigarette that had just been lit, threw it on the ground, hurriedly stepped on it a few times, and walked towards the main house.

"Got a guest at home?"

In the room, lying on the bed was a very weak-looking woman, her face was a little sickly pale, but her spirit was not bad.

"yes."

Aoba's father didn't say much, and looked at his wife with concern: "What was the movement just now?" I thought something was wrong with you? ”

As he spoke, he sat down on the low stool beside the bed, and not far away was a low sofa with some simple beds, where he usually slept at night, so that he could take care of his wife at any time.

After his wife was diagnosed with a terminal illness last year, he resolutely gave up his job and took his wife back to their hometown, where they once fell in love.

A small village nestled in the mountains, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, fresh air, was originally a place where they planned to retire. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden change, and his young wife was actually found to have an incurable disease...

In order to cure the disease, the family has done everything they can, but the strength of the disease is beyond their imagination.

Life is counting down, and in the last days of her life, the wife's only hope is to return here, because their best memories are here.

Aoba, who loves his wife deeply, naturally agreed.

What's more, the environment here will also be somewhat helpful for the wife, who is getting sicker.

The brother and sister, who had just finished their studies, also temporarily put down their work and returned here to accompany their terminally ill mother.

"Nothing..."

Kaori smiled reluctantly.

Just now she wanted to go out to have a look, but she didn't think that her current body was so bad that it was unacceptable, and there was no way to get up alone.

Kaori, who didn't want Aoba to worry, naturally chose to hide this.

"Yes."

The relationship between the two has gone through many years, and they have rarely quarreled, and they have always been very dull and happy.

So maybe Aoba knows her better than Kaori herself.

But when the time comes, he won't debunk it.

In order not to worry his wife, Aoba did not explain that his daughter brought back a guy of unknown origin, and he would not allow this man to stay in this house for too long anyway.

...

"Xia Muxiong..."

Noi's consciousness gradually cleared, and he instinctively sensed his surroundings.

As consciousness returned, Noi slowly regained control of his body.

He controlled his fingers to move, and after several attempts, he was relieved and succeeded!

This shows that the body is not functioning to the point where it is not very bad.

I don't dare to use the dark power in my body easily, this power will not help my body recover at all.

With his own efforts, Noi struggled to open his eyes, and the dazzling light made him a little uncomfortable in the dark for a long time.

After getting used to it, he began to look at his surroundings.

Completely unfamiliar room, it seems that it is not UPC.

With some simple décor inside the room and the chirping of birds outside, as well as the vibrant greenery, Noi was sure that this was no longer Area B.

This also matched his last memory, another dark giant rescued him, and then fled the battle with him.

But I don't know why I left myself alone because I hated myself as a burden?

Noi seemed to find some images from his memory, but his head became a little dizzy as he remembered it.

But what is certain is that it is safe here now.

The thin blanket on his body shows that someone saved him.

The clothes on his body have also been changed, and the wound is faintly cool, and the pain is almost minimal, and it seems that he has been carefully treated.

Noi lifted the blanket and stood on the wooden floor.

Looking around, he hesitated, and walked out the door.

It's a pity that he overestimated his ability to recover.

Before he could take two steps, he collapsed and fell to the ground with a dull sound.

"Eh, your injuries aren't healed yet! Please don't move around and take responsibility for your own body! ”

As if hearing movement, first a small head tentatively poked out of the door, cautiously stared at Noi, who was sitting on the floor, a little weak but vigilant, and after a short period of stunned, the girl subconsciously reproached.

"You saved me?"

Noi raised his head slightly, he didn't like to look up at people, he was really tired now.

"Yes, and my brother, we found you in the mountains... I'll help you up first. ”

The girl blinked, nodded very precisely, and then, without waiting for Noi to refuse, she ran in in small steps, and set up Noi with some difficulty.

During this time, he was very careful not to touch Noi's wounds, although no matter how careful he was, the scars all over his body would inevitably be irritated.

But Noi just gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

After being put back on the bed, the girl asked with concern, "Now, what is your name, and why are you lying alone on the mountain?" ”

Notice the heartfelt concern of the other person, and the sincerity that even the dark forces cannot detect a trace of malice.

Noi said softly.

"Just call me Noi."

"Oh... My name is Reina Aoba. ”

The girl noticed that Noi didn't want to explain anything, and she didn't ask too much because she had always respected others, maybe it was someone else's privacy.

"Lingcai, come over for dinner!"

Just as Reina racked her brains to talk to her, and slowly felt a little embarrassed, Ling Ze's shout sounded in her ears.

"That, Noi-san, I'm going to eat first, you can rest for a while!"

Reina hurriedly answered, and then hurriedly ran out.

Noi silently stared at the other party's distant figure, and then leaned back on the head of the bed a little lonely, silently stretched out his hand, staring at it in a daze.

His thoughts didn't last long.

Within two minutes, Noi heard the same hurried footsteps again, as if it was the same person as before.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, he saw the girl just now, carrying a large bowl of steaming things, carefully walking in.

"Noi-san, this is the seven-grass porridge specially boiled for you, my father said that you just woke up, it is better to drink something easy to digest."

Reina carefully placed it on the table next to Noi, and the attentive girl also thoughtfully prepared a small bowl and spoon.

"If you still need to, just call me by name!"

Reina's energetic voice made Noi a little stunned.

"Why did you do this to me?"

"Huh?"

Noi repeated it again.

"Why is it so good to me?"

Reina was a little dazed, and a puzzled expression appeared on her delicate face.

It seems that this question touches her blind spot.

"Because Noi-san is a patient, shouldn't he be taken care of?"

"That's what my father taught me, and that's what my mentor told me."

"Oh, is that so?"

Noi had mixed feelings.

Looking at the girl in front of him who was kind to anyone, he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Anla, cultivate with peace of mind, if you need anything, you must call my name!"

There was another voice shouting for Lingcai outside, and when the girl was about to step out of the room, she explained again.

"Well, thank you."

Although the voice was small, the girl heard it.

"You're welcome, Noi-san also has to smile more, a happy mood can better make the body recover!"
