Chapter 72: More Towards Infectious Diseases
"Xiaoyue, was that person your friend just now?" Xie Changxiao, who was carrying daily necessities, quickly caught up with them.
He had been looking at the other stalls before, and had not listened carefully to their conversations, except that she had taken everything.
"My friend's husband, to be exact."
"No wonder." No wonder she wanted to help, he glanced back in the direction of the square: "He looks a little bad. β
"I guess I'm an asthma." She had heard Wen Yaxian say many times that Yan Shuo had asthma, so she always remembered it.
"Asthma doesn't seem to be cured?"
"Well, it can only be relieved."
"That's too frustrating."
Isn't it a toss-up?
Chi Yue lowered her eyelashes, recalled Wen Yaxian's sad appearance at night, sighed secretly, and simply stopped thinking about it.
They returned to the small brick building and took advantage of the many free days to cook cooked food at home from time to time and store it in the space.
After another four or five days, they sorted out the fish and shrimp dried on the island and took them to the square to exchange for something that could be used.
"Chi Yue!" Finally squatted down to her Yan Shuo, and when he saw the figure, he immediately stood up and shouted her name.
Chi Yue approached with a smile.
She looked at Wen Yaxian, who was puzzled, and greeted the other party in a familiar tone: "Sister Yaxian, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
Wen Yaxian, who was wondering if there was a problem with her memory, was stunned for two seconds, and enthusiastically stepped forward to hug each other.
"Sister, you're getting prettier!" She took Chi Yue's hand, and her eyes wandered on her radiant face.
I really can't remember, and it's not good to ask them bluntly about how they met, so I said euphemistically: "How long have we not seen each other?" β
"It's been four or five years."
They have been together day and night for half a year, and Chi Yue knows her very well, and seems to have inadvertently said that she used to play in a bar, was almost bullied, and was helped by Wen Yaxian.
She took advantage of this incident to express her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but redden: "I haven't had time to say thank you yet." β
Wen Yaxian has helped many people in the bar, coupled with Chi Yue's sincere thanks, she seems to be able to put aside the lights in her memory, sketch the picture of meeting and acquaintance with Chi Yue, and instantly believe her words.
"What's the matter? Don't cry. Out of the guilt of not being able to recognize Chi Yue at the first time, she hugged Chi Yue again, landed a hand on her back, and patted it lightly.
Her reassurance made Chi Yue's tears in her eyes slip quietly, and she couldn't help but recall the last time she saw her.
That year
As soon as the tornado ended, they temporarily lived in a village in Huawu City to recuperate from their injuries, and it was difficult to expect that people with crooked minds would be targeted.
The sound of slamming the door sounded in the middle of the night, and three or four tall figures flashed through their reinforced windows.
"Sister Yaxian, come up!" Chi Yue squatted down in front of Wen Yaxian, who broke her leg, ready to escape from the cellar with her on her back.
The cellar led to the foot of the back mountain, which could buy them a certain amount of time to escape, and she gritted her teeth and carried each other down to the cellar.
Soon after closing the cellar door, the door, which could not withstand the knocking of the group, collapsed with a violent sound.
"Little Beauty ......"
A disgusting cry was heard from afar.
Wen Yaxian lowered her eyes, looked at Chi Yue, who was breathing heavily, and her fingertips touched her forehead, touching a layer of sweat.
"Yueyue, let me down."
"What?"
"I'm tired." She rubbed the heart-shaped pendant containing Yan Shuo's ashes and muttered in a low voice, "Ah Shuo has been waiting for me for a long time. β
"You don't talk crazy!" Chi Yue, who suffered a rib injury, endured the pain and walked unsteadily through the cramped cellar.
Seeing that she was about to reach the exit, Wen Yaxian on her back struggled suddenly, fell sideways, and let herself fall to the ground.
She shook off Chi Yue's hand that pulled her arm, and looked behind the faint sound of footsteps: "You can't escape with me on your back." β
"How do you know if you don't try?" Chi Yue dragged the other party to the exit, but she didn't cooperate, and her eyes were red with anger: "Even if you want to die, you have to die cleanly!" β
The purpose of that group of people is too obvious.
If it falls into their hands, they will inevitably be humiliated, and it will be difficult to die at that time.
"But I'm not clean." Wen Yaxian said that in the process of accompanying the guests, while Chi Yue was not paying attention, she used all her strength to push her out of the cellar and slammed the small door shut.
She clutched the rope wrapped around the handle and didn't give Chi Yue a chance to open the door: "Get out, don't delay my happiness!" β
"Wen Yaxian!"
"Get out!" She roared to hide the sobbing, looked at the people walking towards her, and deliberately counted the number of people on the other side, reminding Chi Yue: "What do you two want to do?" β
A foul language rang in my ears.
Chi Yue, who couldn't cry, stroked the cellar door tremblingly, cast her eyes on the courtyard where the sound came, and finally stumbled to the back mountain under Wen Yaxian's repeated reminders.
She survived.
Wen Yaxian was in that inconspicuous night, holding Yan Shuo's ashes, and slept forever.
β¦β¦
"Sister, are you here to trick me into tears?" Wen Yaxian saw that she was crying more and more, and cried with her inexplicably.
They hugged each other and cried.
Yan Shuo and Wen Qizhou's moods were extremely complicated, the former didn't understand what Wen Yaxian was crying about; The latter thought of the grievances that Chi Yue had suffered, and his heart seemed to hurt when he was pinched.
"I'm so excited to see you." Chi Yue's thoughts returned, and she took the tissue handed by Wen Qizhou and gave it to Wen Yaxian.
She wiped her tears with the tip of her nose, no longer immersed in the grief that happened in her previous life: "How are you doing lately? β
"It's okay." Wen Yaxian took her good sister's arm and invited them home for dinner.
She rents a small one-bedroom apartment with a sofa in the living room, but it can accommodate five people without a problem.
It was still early for dinner, and they sat around the sofa and chatted for a while, but it was not cold.
"I saw the patrol arrest a couple of elderly people today." Xie Changxiao thought that they had been living in the base longer, so he asked, "Do you know what's going on?" β
"They seem to be catching thieves?" Wen Yaxian has witnessed others being arrested, and she still has a little impression of this incident.
"Probably not." Yan Shuo denied: "During this time, the patrol team has been arresting people, and they say that the people they arrest are rabies patients and thieves, but I don't feel like it." β
"Did the captors come back?"
"Nope."
"That's kind of weird." Wen Qizhou rubbed his fingers against the glass, and he also didn't believe the patrol's external rhetoric.
How can so many thieves and rabies patients pop up at the same time?
"Could it be thatβ" Xie Changxiao paused for two seconds, slapped his thigh suddenly, and guessed: "Are they doing human experiments?" β
Wen Yaxian: "Impossible, right? β
Chi Yue: "I'm more inclined to infectious diseases. β
Based on the experience of her previous life, there is a chance that there is an infectious disease in the base.
But it is not clear which category it will be.
