On the Ark

Liz thought for a while, and replied: "It's night, there is the moon, there are trees, there are mountains..."

"anything else?"

"No more." Liz shook her head, "There's nothing left."

Lin Ye thought that the "outside" in Liz's memory was too simple, the moon, trees and mountains were everywhere.Does the kid not even remember his own home?

While thinking this way, he heard Liz's breathing intensified.After all, he was originally a thin and hungry child, and he walked so far with Lin Ye in a panic.It's already a very difficult task, and he keeps talking, constantly consuming that little physical strength.In this environment, Lin Ye couldn't help her.

"Stop talking." Lin Ye said, "Just move forward."

"But……"

"Let me tell you, just listen to me, so you won't be afraid."

Liz fell silent.

Lin Ye calculated in his heart that when he walked alone in the dark passage, it would take about four to ten minutes to reach the ground.But because of Liz, the speed of travel has been greatly slowed down, and Lin Ye thought that it would be impossible to get out of the secret passage in less than an hour.The white-faced owl obviously didn't take Liz's physical strength into account when making the plan, but it's not the fault of the white-faced owl, after all, all his previous attempts did not take Liz with him.

So what to say, so that Liz will not feel scared, but also give her the strength to keep going?

Lin Ye thought about it for a while, and thought of the idiom "looking at plum blossoms and quenching thirst."

"Let me tell you." Lin Ye said slowly, "Have you ever heard of a food called pineapple buns?"

"Pineapple bun?" Liz's childish tone was full of doubts, "What is that?"

"That's a delicious dessert." Lin Ye said, "Don't talk, just listen to me."

Liz was silent again.

Really, I didn't expect that one day he would tell Liz about the pineapple buns. Speaking of which, he didn't have a good impression of this dessert in his previous life, thinking that it had nothing to praise except it was cheap.But after coming here, this dessert has become the one he knows best.

So Lin Ye searched for the ink related to the pineapple bun in his stomach, and told Liz little by little, like squeezing toothpaste.One is to make Liz hear more clearly, and the other is to delay time.As a result, Lin Ye's low voice continued to echo in the narrow corridor, and the scene that could have been used to shoot a horror movie abruptly turned him into a food show.

"Sprinkle with sugar, cream... By the way, do you know these things? Ah, it doesn't matter if you don't know, as long as you know that they are delicious."

To be honest, Lin Ye didn't know how good his eloquence was, nor did he know if Liz would fall in love with pineapple buns just because of his description.Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle, so let's try, but Liz's lack of response made him a little guilty. If he didn't know that Liz was walking in front of him, Lin Ye would have thought Liz was asleep.

After talking about the pineapple buns, it's not over yet.

Lin Ye started talking about other desserts, such as tiramisu.It's just that he doesn't know much about other desserts, and he can't talk about it for a few minutes.I can only talk about other things, such as the delicacies of the previous life. After talking about the delicacies of the previous life, I started to talk about some exotic delicacies.

For example, when the hibiscus was fried until it was golden brown, Linguang next door burst into tears.

At this time, he finally got a response from Liz.

Slight, swallowing sound.

Lin Ye couldn't help thinking in his heart, this unlucky child wanted to eat fried hibiscus more than pineapple buns.

"Will I be able to eat these things after I go out?" Liz asked Lin Ye.

"Yes." Lin Ye responded, "Of course, you can eat all of them."

Liz was moved, but soon hesitated again: "But..."

"But what?"

"We can't get out." Liz whispered, "Without the leader's permission, we can't leave here."

"Nonsense." Lin Ye couldn't help but said, "We're all here, we'll be out soon, and soon you'll be able to eat the delicacies I just mentioned."

Liz said nothing more.

Lin Ye didn't know what she was thinking, and she felt like she wouldn't answer if she asked directly, and his mouth was already dry because he had talked about the delicious food for a long time, but even so, his little selfishness was at work, and he lightly He said softly: "By the way, do you remember, a girl named Liz... No, a girl named Nightingale."

"nightingale?"

"Well, she's also a Sarkaz." Lin Ye said, "It's just that she's a little older than you, about ten years older, and she lives in the Rhode Island I just mentioned."

"I do not know her."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know each other." Lin Ye said, "I just want to tell you something. Nightingale's health is very bad, because she has a serious illness, so we generally don't allow her to go out. She is like a bird. Birds we keep in cages, you know?"

"Um……"

Lin Ye talked about Nightingale with Liz, and this feeling was actually very subtle.He told Liz that Nightingale loves to eat pineapple buns, that Nightingale is always afraid when she sleeps alone, and that Nightingale sometimes puts on her shoes and socks backwards. You can't go wrong with shoes and socks at such a small age.

"That's right." Lin Ye smiled, "She's pretty stupid."

Then, the tone dropped again.

"But I admire her very much. She is so stupid and timid, but she always wants to run outside and see the outside world. Even if her wings are broken, even if her body is bruised, she still wants to Flying out of that cage. And always thinking of others, obviously she has already become like this, and she still pays attention to people who share the same disease with her. Sometimes I don’t know whether her mental age is old or young, although on the surface It looks dazed, but I think she lives her life more seriously than anyone else, really."

Lin Ye didn't know how long he had been talking on his own, at least longer than the previous desserts, no, longer than all the food combined, and finally he couldn't continue, Liz asked softly.

"Are you crying?"

"No, I didn't cry." Lin Ye rubbed his eyes in the dark, "That unlucky child of hers can't cry. What right does a person like me have to cry?"

"She's amazing."

"Yes."

"Can I see her?"

Lin Ye was silent for a while, then said, "I don't know."
