[Comprehensive Yingmei] Pengwen walks readers

When Barnes woke up, the first thing on his mind was what to have for breakfast this morning.

He pulled the quilt, retracted his hands under the quilt, turned sideways, and turned to look at Tessie who was still sleeping soundly.Her eyelids were trembling, and Barnes remembered a book he read before going to bed yesterday, which said that people whose eyelids tremble while sleeping are dreaming, and it is best not to wake them up.

Dreaming... He pillowed his arm under his head, the metal arm was warmed by the quilt, it was hard, and the pillow was quite comfortable, and his eyelids were a little bit hard to open.

Dreaming, he seemed to be dreaming last night, what did he dream about?

He couldn't remember it, it seemed to be a motorcycle, he was riding a motorcycle on the mountain road, he was chasing something, and then he heard a muffled thunder above his head...

Headache.

Yes, headaches, and he couldn't think of anything after each headache.

What Tessie said, I need ibuprofen for a headache.

He moved his metal arm slightly. This arm of unknown origin was molded into a muscular shape with protrusions of different muscle shapes on it. He rested on the place where the biceps should have been, and blinked. Eyes, looking at Tessie who slept with a few hairs in her mouth.He stretched out his right hand and gently brushed her hair out.She babbled a few words in her sleep, babbling and babbling.

Barnes was a little sleepy again.But he couldn't get to sleep, and after he did, no one woke Tessie up.Today they are going to patrol the streets, today they must patrol the streets.They have five whole blocks to patrol.If you wake up late, work will have to be postponed until tomorrow...

Barnes raised his neck and glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table.It was 10:[-], and he had to get up in [-] minutes. He had to think about what to have for breakfast.

The alarm clock was his fancy. The small warehouse where Tessie lived originally only had a few simple household items. It was only after she brought him back that she slapped her head and remembered that she wanted to live here. She hurriedly led him to the Street shopping.He found this second-hand alarm clock in a miscellaneous grocery store with a shield with a red star on it, the owner said it was an antique from the 40s, and his eyes stuck to it, Tessy always Feeling his subtle mood changes, he grabbed the alarm clock and put it in his hand, and even asked the boss for a few extra batteries.

Tessie rolled over and looked like she was about to wake up.

Barnes lay flat, his right hand covering the alarm clock, holding his breath, waiting for the second hand to point to 12——

Pressing it, the time card was just right, and he pinched the alarm clock before it rang.

Barnes applauded himself inwardly, expressionlessly.

He slowly withdrew his hand, trying not to touch the cold medicine placed next to the alarm clock.

The two of them went to eat pasta the day before yesterday, and it rained as soon as they left the restaurant.Tessie proposes a wild run in the rain to honor their youth.Although Barnes felt that he had lost his youth, he still had no temper with Tessie, and ran back to the warehouse behind Tessie who was laughing and screaming "Ahhh".Tessie had a fever the next day.Although he knew she deserved it, he still couldn't help worrying, so he went to the pharmacy by himself.Barnes has never intuitively felt the deterrent effect of his deadpan face, because he had been going out with Tessie before, and he thought the shopkeepers were trembling because Tessie could hit ten, but he was alone When I entered the pharmacy, I asked for cold medicine. The shopkeeper turned around to get the medicine, his hands were trembling all the time. During the period, the medicine was accidentally dropped on the counter. Barnes helped him pick it up silently, and the shopkeeper thanked him. It's all shaking.

Back at the warehouse, Barnes changed Tessie's ice pack, and Tessie's face was flushed with burns, and she clung to his metal arm.He helped her up, drank the medicine, and helped her to lie down again.

"Sit." Tessie patted the edge of the bed in a daze.This was the staff bed that she broke into Mr. Luca's small stronghold on the day Barnes came. It was wide and comfortable, and she also sent mattress sheets.That is, when he carried the bed on the street, he was stared at by many people evasively.

Barnes sat down and saw Tessie blushing and smiling at him.

"That..." Barnes asked after thinking about it, "Do I usually look... scary?"

Why did the shopkeeper look at him so frightened?

"Nonsense." Tessie was a little slurred, "You are the cutest, you are the cutest and cutest person in my heart, the cutest and the cutest, the cutest, cutest than that—"

"Okay, you have a fever." Barnes was quite helpless, tucked the quilt up for her, and pinned her fluttering arms, "Go to sleep."

"No, I can't sleep, I have a headache." Tessie tried to open her eyes, "Read to me."

Barnes picked up the book Tessie read before going to bed last night from the bedside table, frowning slightly.

"Pushkin's Poems", bilingual in English and Russian, he looked at it, and then turned to the page with the bookmark.

"To Kane," he read, his voice soft, trying to soften it, "I remember that wonderful moment: You appeared in front of me, like a fleeting fantasy, like a fairy of pure beauty."

It was a love poem, he found, but Tessie looked contented, and he read on: "In the torment of hopeless sorrow, in the torment of the tumultuous pomp of life, my ears rang long and tenderly voice, I still see your lovely figure in my sleep."

Tessie couldn't keep her eyes open, victory was in sight.

"Many years have passed, and the stormy smile dispelled the old dreams, so I forgot your gentle voice and your fairy-like figure." Tessie's eyes closed, "In the backcountry, in the prison In the dark life of my life, my days just passed away quietly, without lover, without inspiration for poetry, without tears, without life, and without love."

Tessie's breathing became even, and Barnes could have stopped, but he paused, and continued to read, only in a softer voice: "Now that the mind has begun to wake up, you reappeared in front of me. , like a short-lived phantom, like a fairy of pure beauty. /My heart is jumping in ecstasy, everything in my heart is awakened again, there is a lover, there is inspiration for poetry, there is life, there are tears, and there are love."

Tessie fell asleep, the blond girl who woke up with all her teeth and claws, but slept like a little angel, very harmless.Barnes looked at her sleeping face for a while, then smiled unconsciously.

Tessie's illness came and went quickly, and she was almost fine yesterday.Barnes found it odd that someone with superpowers like her would get sick.Ah, people with superpowers - what was said in the newspaper yesterday, this kind of people should be called...

Tessie moved suddenly. She curled up into a ball, stretched her arms while maintaining this posture, then opened her eyes and greeted Barnes: "Good morning."

"Well," said Barnes, "oatmeal or bread?"

"Let's go to the street to eat." Tessie yawned, "I remember the Chinese restaurant serves breakfast, right?"

Every block boss has to patrol the streets, not to collect protection money, but to ensure that he/she can keep abreast of the situation in the block.

Tessie walked unsteadily down Pepper Street, and Barnes, wearing a black jacket and carrying a bag of potato chips, followed her blankly.

"Women's clothing store, jewelry store, tea restaurant, grocery store..." Tessie counted the family, and then pointed to the corner in front of her and said to Barnes, "I will not be in charge after that."

Barnes waited for Tessie's next words. Tessie reached out and fished out a bag of potato chips from the bag, opened the bag and grabbed a handful, and reached out to Barnes: "Do you want to eat?"

Barnes didn't refuse, took a piece, put it in his mouth, and clicked it.

"Originally Mr. Luca wanted to give me ten blocks, but I said ten blocks was too big, you'd better hire someone else, I just need five blocks." Tessie still remembered this clearly when she found out, "And the street over there is quite chaotic. There are many homeless people gathering there, and there are many things that shouldn't be there."

"...Maybe we can go there today." Tessie thought suddenly, "Find someone."

Who are you looking for?Barnes didn't ask.Because he knew that Tessie would explain it clearly in the end.

When Tessie came to the door of Kallman's shop, Kallman was sitting outside the shop. He moved a small chair, smoking a cigarette, and brushing his pipe slowly in the sun.A young man with blond hair was sitting on the floor next to him, with a cowardly expression on his face that wanted to get close but didn't dare.

"Good morning, Papa Kallman." Tessie greeted him, and Kallman lazily raised his head and glanced at her: "What are you doing here?"

"Consult something." Tessie walked to him and glanced at the blond boy. He was white and a little thin, like a little white dog that had been wandering for a long time. She was too embarrassed to speak harshly to him, but she was very polite. Greeting: "Can you move to the side?"

The blond boy looked at him and at Barnes, who always seemed to have a sullen face, and stood up in surprise. Tessie glanced at Barnes, as if she thought it was quite funny, she walked to the place where the boy was sitting Squatting down, Barnes stood still, but handed her the unsealed potato chips.Kalman looked at them both while brushing his pipe, and sneered.

"Why are you doing this? It's better not to learn all the crooked things, first to be a gangster, and then to take care of little boys, that's okay." Kallman knocked on his cigarette butt.

Tessie's face immediately turned red: "Why do you keep a little boy? Is he a little boy? He's my little brother!"

"Oh, little brother." Kallman put out the cigarette, "Okay, then why are you bringing your little brother here today?"

"Here," Tessie took out the gun that Barnes originally wore from the inside pocket of her coat, "help me find out what this is about."

Kalman was obviously a little displeased: "Have you started playing this yet?"

"I picked it up! I don't use it!" Tessie immediately clarified, "I never use this!"

"It's not that I won't let you use it. It's okay to learn how to protect yourself. It's your current trend that makes me panic when I look at it, you know?" Karman taught a lesson, put down the pipe and toothbrush, took the gun and started to look through it. ,"this is……"

He took out his reading glasses from his shirt pocket, put them on, and observed carefully: "There is no rifling...these are from the Soviet Union, and this..."

"Soviet?" Tessie looked up at Barnes, who lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

"Tessie." Kallman became serious, "Where did you pick it up, tell me the truth."

"Over the railroad tracks." Tessie lied with a straight face.

"This is a Soviet agent's gun, not something that can be smuggled in." Kallman stood up, "Do you still have this thing?"

Tessie hesitated, she looked at Barnes, Barnes shook his head, she said: "No..."

"I'll take care of it for you." Kallman turned and walked into the store. Tessie looked up at Barnes and shrugged.

"Soviet agents." She couldn't force a smile, "It seems that the story I made up before is not completely wrong, right?"

Barnes knelt down beside her silently, seeing her depressed face, he thought for a while, stretched out his metal arm, and wrapped her shoulders, Tessie naturally leaned over.

The young man with blond hair came over hesitantly, stopped at a distance from them, and then sat down on the floor again.

The three of them were silent for a while, watching the cars passing by on the street in front of them.

A Toyota slowed down, Tessie was still dazed, Barnes raised his head and looked at the black car with some vigilance, until it stopped, a man with curly gray hair came down from it.

"Children," he said with a cross across his chest, "are you homeless?"

Tessie glanced at him, but ignored him.Barnes said nothing.The blond boy nodded slightly.

"I am the bishop of the Relief House, and my name is Roshman." He showed a very kind and kind smile, "You can go to the Relief House, and I will give you enough food and let you live there."

The blond boy's eyes lit up: "Really, really?"

"It's true." He smiled and nodded at the blond boy. "Of course it's true. God bless you, kid."

"What about you?" Bishop Luo turned to Tessie and Barnes.Tessie rejects this kind of development. She rejects all religious and MLM organizations, and simply says: "No."

"Wait!" Kallman came out of the store, "Hey, Bishop Luo! Are you taking children outside again?"

"Old man George!" Bishop Luo obviously knew him, "Business is good?"

"So-so. I said, you have to take this girl with you." Kallman pointed at Tessie with a pipe, and Tessie looked up and glared at him. "She doesn't go to school, but wanders around the neighborhood every day. You have to help educate her and let her go to school." study."

"I don't want it!" Tessie stood up, and Kallman said seriously: "It's just going to school, Tessie, it's nothing bad, you have to make some friends, there are many children of your age in the relief home, and there are volunteers , you can go to the choir or something."

"George, we only have one St. Mark's Boys' Choir." Bishop Luo said helplessly.

"Almost." Kallman waved his hand, "Anyway, Tessie, you have to go."

Tessie pulled Barnes and turned away: "Don't worry about it!"

"Tessie!" Kalman yelled from behind: "Tessie, you can't just sit around and fight with others all day long!"

"Since you can fight, it's nothing to do." Tessie muttered, Barnes' metal arm was pulled by her, and he struggled lightly, but he didn't break free, so she let her pull.

Tessie walked briskly at first, then slowly slowed down.

"The Relief House, it's the Catholic Church," she murmured, "what can be taught there..."

She lowered her head and kicked, and after a long time, she choked out a sentence: "By the way, where is the relief home?"

The author has something to say: The plot of "First Fear" appears.

Everyone can go and watch this movie... Little Angel Alan, I love you QWQ
