Chapter 33: Unwavering Faith
In the dark town, only hairpins and candles flickered.
Meng Qingyang grabbed the hairpin and made a silent gesture at her, trying to make her state look relaxed, but her face was pale under the candle flame, and she couldn't fool the hairpin's eyes at all.
Pursing her lips, Hairpin Ying held back the deep worry in her heart, didn't say anything, there was a hairpin coming over, Meng Qingyang was embarrassed to trouble again, let go of his hand, and silently helped Hairpin to rush home.
Wan Ci, who was standing in place, looked at the backs of the brother and sister, sighed, and suddenly, the afterglow seemed to catch a glimpse of a black shadow flashing.
When she turned around, she didn't see anyone anywhere.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Yanchen also followed her gaze, but also found nothing.
Wan Ci stared in that direction for a while, confirming that there was no movement, and then slowly shook his head, thinking that maybe he was too tired today, and he saw it wrong.
The two also followed Meng Qingyang back home.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to bring you some game back to replenish your physical fitness, but I didn't expect to be delayed for a day, and the game didn't come back."
The first thing Meng Qingyang did when he entered the house was to apologize to Lin Sheng, rubbing his hands as he spoke, extremely embarrassed.
It took more than two hours during the day to clean up the department store for the townspeople, but it turned out that they had proposed to hunt game to supplement their nutrition, but in the end they failed to do it, and they were injured and asked to go up the mountain to pick them up, which was somewhat embarrassing.
"It's fine."
Lin Sheng shook his head, and his usual words were indifferent.
At noon, he ate and slept all afternoon, and when he just woke up, he found that no one was there, only hairpins and little An Changze stared at him.
At this point, the spirit has almost recovered, and it doesn't matter whether there is game or not.
Even so, Meng Qingyang still felt a little unbearable.
"Hairpin Ying, you go to make something delicious, Sister Wan and Brother Bai have done a lot to save me."
Touching Hairpin Ying's arm with his elbow, Meng Qingyang spoke, and the subconscious salutation made Wan Ci and Bai Yanchen, who entered the door with their back feet, stunned.
The two looked at each other tacitly, and then looked away.
cough, how can I say it, Meng Qingyang is only twenty-two years old, one year younger than Lin Sheng, and it is natural to call them brothers and sisters, but how do you feel so awkward......
Lin Sheng on the side didn't know what he was thinking, and he also raised his head to look at Wan Ci.
Sister? It seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
"And your injuries?"
Hairpin hesitated, hesitated and refused to move, still thinking about the injury on Meng Qingyang's leg, even if he was tied by his coat, he couldn't hide the bloody pants.
"It's okay, I'll come by myself, I have a special ability, you forgot, the wounds of the Inhumans heal much faster than ordinary people, and it's not convenient for you to treat my wounds, what if you get infected? Go cook it, everyone must be hungry. ”
Meng Qingyang pushed the hairpin, jumped on one leg and sat down on the sofa, he grinned in pain from these two steps, cold sweat broke out, and he didn't dare to squeak in front of the hairpin, for fear that she would worry.
The hairpin pouted, but she couldn't help it, but she nodded and honestly went into the kitchen to cook.
As soon as the hairpin left, Meng Qingyang's smiling expression couldn't be hung up.
Wan Ci walked over and closed the kitchen door intimately, isolating the possibility that the hairpin would see it.
Even if the virus is a carrier, the wound heals faster than the average person, but the pain is real and does not abate.
She had already seen Meng Qingyang's wound when she was on the mountain, and she was afraid that a piece of flesh would be torn off by a zombie, and the wound was so big that she could almost see the bones.
He was also able to endure it, he was silent all the way, and when he untied the coat tied to his legs, Wan Ci found that his wound was even more serious than he imagined, and the blurred flesh and blood made people feel a little uncomfortable at a glance.
"Blood...... That's a lot of blood, don't, don't! Father! ”
An Changze, who was on the side, saw this scene, his pupils dilated in vain, as if he had touched his sensitive switch, which reminded him of his parents who were torn apart in the zombie group, and immediately screamed, opened the door and rushed out like crazy.
"Nagasawa!"
Bai Yanchen rushed out of the house after An Changze.
"I'm sorry, I forgot that there was a kid here, is he okay?"
This sudden change made Meng Qingyang at a loss, and the whole person was a little confused, and asked questions in a daze.
"It doesn't matter, I'll take a look, Lin Sheng, you help him deal with his wounds, you should have spare medicines or something like that?"
Wan Ci took two steps forward, remembering that Meng Qingyang's family was really poor and hard, and asked uneasily.
"There are still commonly used cold medicines, anti-inflammatory drugs and the like."
Meng Qingyang nodded and gave Wan Ci a positive answer, Wan Ci didn't say anything more, left Lin Sheng at Meng Qingyang's house to take care of him, and hurriedly chased him out under the cover of night.
When she came out, she couldn't see Bai Yanchen and An Changze anymore.
It was their negligence, it was not Meng Qingyang's fault, and An Changze was not to blame.
He was too young, and the death of An Yulin and his wife had hit him too hard, and it was difficult to recover for a while, and seeing Meng Qingyang's terrible wounds at first glance made him think of the picture that night.
Thinking of this, Wan Ci was a little annoyed, exhaled, and hurriedly ran to find someone.
I hope this shadow will not affect An Changze for the rest of his life.
The night was dark, and there was darkness everywhere that could completely swallow people up, and occasionally she could pass by a few houses with a faint light of candles, and she went up to ask if she had seen Bai Yanchen and them, and the townspeople showed her the way, and told her not to run around at night, and to be careful not to see the road clearly, so she stuffed a few candles and a lighter with her.
Can she say that her eyes are well adapted to the darkness...... I refused, so I had to thank you and leave with a candle.
When Wan Ci found them, Bai Yanchen was sitting on the road with An Changze, and the backs of the two were extremely lonely in the night.
An Changze seemed to be crying, his shoulders shrugged, and the whispered sobs could be heard clearly on the quiet and empty road.
Lighting the candle, Wan Ci approached them lightly, and when he heard the footsteps, Bai Yanchen turned his head and sighed at Wan Ci's worried eyes through the candlelight.
Dropped a few drops of wax oil on the ground, put the candle on it and froze, curtsied, and sat on the other side of An Changze.
Someone came and didn't attract An Changze's attention, he was immersed in his own world and cried, without even looking at Wan Ci.
"Changze, your parents are big heroes, I know that losing them makes you miserable, especially in that way, but do you know, the coming of the end makes all parts of the country, and even all over the world, repeat this picture every day, every moment, even if the world is so devastated, your father still hopes that you can live well, our current ability may be insignificant, but you have to believe that one day, this virus will definitely be eliminated, and peace will come again sooner or later, you can be sad and sad for a short time, But don't keep suffering like this, it's a huge torture for you, I know that this pain can never be eliminated, but you have to learn to face it, accept it, don't be swallowed by it, you are still young, your future is promising, you will definitely become a very good person, right? ”
Wan Ci raised his head and looked at the boundless darkness, his voice soft and with endless power, like a goblin in the night.
I don't know if I'm comforting An Changze or herself.
I wanted to say that he would also become a person like his father An Yulin, but in the end she didn't say it.
An Yulin's ending is too painful, why bother to put such a shackle on a young boy and let him go his own way.
Of course, her belief has never wavered, she has to shoulder the lives of thirty-one people in the laboratory, as well as her parents' unfinished business, she must develop an antidote!
