Chapter 68: Ask Him to Take Him In
And Xie Changxiao is indeed a trustworthy person, since he knew about "taking things from the air", he no longer said those four words, so as not to develop a habit of leaking his mouth in the future.
His heart is really precious, Chi Yue remembered that he hadn't eaten food before the end of the world for a long time, and gave him more meals from time to time.
"I can't eat any more." Xie Changxiao, who had eaten too much fried food, rubbed his abdomen: "The muscles are almost gone." ”
Wen Qizhou: "I'll practice with you for a while?" ”
"Okay!" They put on masks, stood in the thick fog, and practiced bare-handed for a while.
When they were practicing heartily, a sound of footsteps that did not belong to them went from far to near, and the extremely red flames shuttled through the dense fog like ghosts, and finally reflected in front of them.
The father and son, who were holding homemade torches, didn't expect that there were people here, and they walked to a position only one meter away from them, only to see two slender figures in front of them.
"You ...... Also from the base? The startled young man stopped, kept his distance and looked at the two of them.
"Hmm." Wen Qizhou recognized them.
He quietly withdrew the dagger, thinking of the word "also" in the other party's words, he asked: "There have been many people on the island recently?" ”
"That's right." The young man listened to his calm tone, and he didn't look like a person with bad intentions, so he lowered his guard and chatted with him for a while: "There are more than twenty one after another." ”
According to the youth, he and his people had been living in the southern part of the island during the extreme cold months, and rarely went to the city unless necessary.
Since the end of the second tsunami, 267 people have landed on the island from the southwest.
"Can you take us there?" Chi Yue put away the things that shouldn't have appeared in the tent and walked in front of them.
"Yes."
The young man told them to wait.
He and his father had come after the hare, and now they wanted to look for it again, so they first took a torch and looked around among the bushes.
After another twenty minutes or so he took two hares to the tent and called them, and together they went south against the thick fog.
Skirting the river and crossing winding paths, six island-style houses loom into view.
The four houses fenced in front were occupied by the young man and his clansmen, and the two houses and tents that had just been erected were inhabited by the group of people who had recently landed on the island.
"I don't know if they're there." The young man roughly guessed that their purpose was to find someone, so he led them to the fifth house: "You can ask someone." ”
Chi Yue nodded: "Thank you." ”
"It's fine." The young man smiled kindly, and did not linger any longer, and walked with his father to the fence with the torch.
At the same time, she knocked on the door of the five buildings.
It was an eldest sister who came to open the door, and when she heard that they were looking for someone, she temporarily let down her guard: "I haven't recognized all the people myself, so you might as well call them by name." ”
Five or six buildings are all mixed, and people are on guard against each other, and it is even less common in normal times, and it is normal to not recognize them all.
Xie Changxiao said "Okay".
He moved to the middle of the five or six buildings, shouted Zhao Peng's names in turn, and when he didn't get a response, he went to the newly built wooden houses and tents to find someone to inquire.
Chi Yue, who was standing behind him, had a little hope in his heart, and he also described Ge Qinyao's appearance.
The results are all the same.
Neither shouting names nor asking people who had recently been on the island could find out the whereabouts of any of them.
Chi Yue lowered his eyes: "Go back." ”
Capturing her momentary loss, Wen Qizhou took her hand, and while ten fingers slipped into her fingertips, he rubbed the smooth skin on the back of her hand, as if to soothe.
Before he met Xie Changxiao, he had the same mood as her, but he never mentioned it, only when he was smoking in his spare time, he would think about the other party and guess how he was doing.
So he can completely understand Chi Yue.
"Don't overthink it." He tightened his grip on the soft one, and said in a soft voice, "Maybe I'll meet her soon." ”
"Hmm." She whispered.
As they walked back, they approached House No. 6 when a figure shouted Wen Qizhou's name and rushed out of it.
"Smell the boat!" Fang Lu appeared in front of them like the wind through the thick fog.
After not seeing her for many days, she was much more embarrassed than when she was at the base, an ill-fitting cotton suit, enveloping her reduced figure, and her tired eyes were full of green.
She seemed to see a life-saving straw, and stared at Wen Qizhou eagerly: "How long did you go to the island?" Can you take me away? ”
Wen Qizhou was surprised to see her again.
There was a feeling of discomfort from being stuck to the dog skin plaster, and the momentum around him became fierce: "Miss Fang, we are not familiar with each other. ”
"But I only know you!" Fang Lu really couldn't stand the lack of food and clothing, and sobbed helplessly: "You just look at the friendship with my father, can you take me in for a while?" ”
"Nope."
"I beg you! Please......"
She reached out and grabbed his sleeve, Wen Qizhou turned sideways indifferently, pulled out a dagger and crossed between them, Rao did not say a word, but also could make the other party feel a strong killing intent.
The sobbing stopped.
She didn't dare to go any further, for fear that the sharp dagger would cut through the skin around her neck and deprive her of hope.
"Don't bother me." The deterrence was effective, Wen Qizhou put away the dagger, and the person leading him disappeared into the thick fog.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of chasing, Chi Yue lifted his eyelids and glanced at Wen Qizhou, who had not yet eased down.
quipped: "Mr. Wen's charm is really great." ”
"Where?" Wen Qizhou didn't think it was a good thing to be entangled by someone, or that he didn't want such charm at all.
He leaned over and approached Chi Yue's neck and sucked it gently, Ruifeng's eyes were a little smiling: "My wife is jealous?" ”
"Nope."
"Really?" He pretended to be sour: "I smell sour." ”
"That's because you have a nose problem."
Chi Yue didn't admit it.
It's really not jealous, she just doesn't like Fang Lu's attachment eyes when she looked at him before, and she feels uncomfortable.
But Wen Qizhou thought she was jealous and didn't know it, followed her words to coax her, and took advantage of the thick fog that others couldn't really see his movements, and covered the lips and kissed lightly.
They returned to the tent tiredly, and Xie Changxiao had a chance to mention Fang Lu: "I feel that she will come to you again." ”
Wen Qizhou, who had just coaxed people: "......"
He took off his mask, lit the cigarette between his fingers, and glanced at Xie Changxiao, clearly unwilling to deal with him.
"Really!" Xie Changxiao thought he didn't believe it, and said seriously: "A woman like her is no different from kraft candy, once she finds your place, she will definitely stick to it." ”
Don't look at Fang Lu who was scared just now.
He had carefully observed, and the other party's eyes didn't look like they were dead at all.
