Speed ​​Skating Survival [Apocalypse]

"Don't cry, don't cry, your parents...they won't die in vain, and you and your brother won't be left alone. Don't cry..." Xia Bing wiped her tears with the back of his hand, wiping her long and narrow hair Single eyelid, rubbing the freckles on her face, rubbing her protruding cheekbones, slowly, he could see clearly what was on her hair.

It was a red smear of blood, long since dried, stuck to the ends of my hair like a piece of chewing gum.Her hair was not soft, and combined with malnutrition, it felt dry and hard to the touch.

Xia Bing crushed the piece of dry blood, took it off the girl's hair, wrapped her arms weakly around her, propped up the quilt with her body, and gave her a safe space where she could breathe smoothly.

"Don't cry, your parents are heroes, they won't die in vain." Xia Bing said in vain, he felt that his language was dry and powerless, and he was also someone who had the same experience, so no matter how much he tried to persuade him at this time. use.They only want their parents, but they are the only ones in the world who will never come back.

This was Xia Bing's first time coaxing a child, his movements were inevitably stiff, and his expression was not very natural.He really can't, all his life has been training except for training, dealing with pain, playing with boys on the ice rink, and fate suddenly dumped him a girl, how...how can this be coaxed?

Thinking that these two children were saved by their parents, Xia Bing shouldered a heavy responsibility, but he was willing to bear this burden, just like he was willing to send Chen Zhong living expenses for his skating back then.It's just that the child is crying so pitifully, and what Xia Bing knows best is to coax people not to cry.

The girl's tears reminded Xia Bing of Chi Feiyang when he was a child, the younger brother who cried the most in the team, Liang Zi and himself always loved him the most.When we first met, that brat really loved to cry. After crying, he choked and wanted to drink AD calcium milk. Every time, Liang Zi coaxed him and went to buy milk by himself.

As long as the milk is bought back, the kid can stop crying, causing a few members of the team to always joke around and say that he is a nurse.

Now there is no place to buy milk, and Xia Bing dare not move around. She is 9 years old, and the girl is sensible. If the action is too intimate, it will be inappropriate to hug her as soon as she comes up, and it will be bad if she is frightened.

"What I say is true, you believe me. They will not die in vain. When everything is over, your parents will be remembered by everyone. Everyone, will remember their names, every year , Someone will clean their tombstones and lay flowers. As long as they are not forgotten, they have not left this world, and what they have done...is not in vain." Xia Bing said, the girl moved closer to him, and he did not push her away.

He was reluctant to push her away.

She is too thin, and I am afraid that she has not eaten a full meal in the past few months, and she has to save food for her younger brother, and be a courageous and good sister conscientiously.Her parents probably told her at the last moment to take care of herself and her brother, and she did a great job, as good as anyone, and really took care of her brother very well.

But in terms of taking care of herself, she obviously let her parents down.Xia Bing let her approach, feeling that a child with a cold personality gradually softened, revealing her original personality, and the cry that should be due to this age group. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I can take care of you, you don't have to worry about the future, I have a house and a car, when everything is over, you and your brother can live with us."

He said so, but he was still a novice in raising children, and he always felt that he had missed the point.In desperation, Xia Bing looked at Chen Zhong, and looked at him as if asking for help.

Chen Zhong had already hugged the boy, protecting the back of the boy's head with one hand, and slowly following the boy's back with the other hand.This posture is the posture that the aunts of the neighborhood committee used to do to himself. Every time he is hugged by the aunts, Chen Zhong will become quiet in the warm embrace, surrounded by a strong sense of security.

"Hold her like this, hug her." Chen Zhong mouthed Xia Bing, and discovered for the first time what Xia Bing was not good at.

He is the best at skating, the best at leading teams, and the best at winning five consecutive championships, but he doesn't know how to take care of children.At this time, any comforting words are useless, nothing can compare to a real hug.

Just a hug is enough.

"Oh...oh." Xia Bing understood Chen Zhong's silent advice, and quickly hugged the girl in the same gesture, "Don't cry, let's stop crying."

With such a hug, Xia Bing's Adam's apple immediately became hot, full of heat from the girl crying.He also imitated Chen Zhong and stroked the back of the child's head and back. Sure enough, after a few minutes of hugging like this, the girl's crying was not so urgent, and her thin body no longer trembled.

"Will anyone remember them?" She rubbed her eyes with her hands. She cried so much that Xia Bing's neckline was wet from crying. "Mom said there were no monsters out there, but there were."

The boy stopped crying, it seemed that he was coaxed by Chen Zhong.In this regard, Xia Bing is willing to bow down, and he has become a habit of carelessness, and he is not as sensitive as Chen Zhong in many details. "Yes, I will remember them too... When the matter is over, I will take you and your brother home and watch a movie with you. There is a movie that says that as long as there are people in the world who miss them, they will not really die .My parents are gone, and my adoptive parents are gone, but I always think about these people, and they never left me."

"What about the monster?" The girl was so close to Xia Bing for the first time, "What about the monster?"

"The monster... will be dealt with, because of your parents' dedication, we will not win this battle." Xia Bing combed her hair again, not daring to touch her face.

That wound was bitten by her mother, but driven by the last bit of humanity, under the strong maternal love, she let the child go, enduring the hunger that would rather eat herself.

"I want to learn to skate." She said suddenly again, her voice became high-pitched because of crying and nervousness, "The speed of skating is fast, and I can run past them by skating. I want to run away with my brother... Can you teach Me? Will I learn in time?"

Xia Bing and Chen Zhong looked at each other again, this time, they were talking about their old profession.

"I can teach you, but tell us first...what's your name?" Xia Bing found a point to start the topic, and since he can't coax others, he might as well talk about something else, "We are all active athletes now, We have a coach, and when our illness is cured, I will take you to heal him. There is still time, as long as you are willing to learn."

The girl wiped her tears again, obviously hesitating, and when Xia Bing thought she was tired from crying and was about to fall asleep, she heard a faint voice.

"Xia Yueyue." The girl finally told the two strangers her name, "My brother's name is Xia Yangyang."

"Yueyue, Yangyang." Xia Bing said silently a few times, "What a good name... Go to sleep, after you sleep, the sky will dawn."

With Xia Bing's comfort, Xia Yueyue didn't speak any more, turned around and fell asleep with her younger brother who had also cried.Xia Bing looked at Chen Zhong who was lying on the other side, and the two of them didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of waking up the child who had just stabilized.I don't know how long it took, Xia Bing's eyelids became heavy, Chen Zhong in his vision became blurred, and he gradually fell asleep.

When he woke up again, the entrance of the tent was extremely dark, and he couldn't tell whether it was daytime or the early morning that had just ended.

"Xia Bing, come here." Someone called him.

Xia Bing raised his head, the two children and Chen Zhong were still asleep, so he didn't wake them up, got out of bed by himself, put on his skates and looked for the sound.The voice stopped at the entrance of the tent, waiting for him to pass.

"It's you." Xia Bing recognized the doctor, the one who spoke yesterday, "You came to me so early?"

"Yes, I want to tell you something important..." The doctor was wearing a mask, but he kept coughing, his eyes were all blood red, and he couldn't even see the black eyeballs. Big enough to rub the eyeballs out of their sockets, "Ahem...cough... how about the two children?"

"Oh, they're fine. My friend and I will take care of them." Xia Bing looked back again, and the three of them were still sleeping on the folding bed. "What do you want me to do? Is the medicine going to be delivered in the morning?"

"Cough!" The doctor coughed heavily, the inner layer of the snow-white mask seemed to be filled with some liquid, it was red.

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Bing looked at him puzzled, "Have you not rested for too long?"

"I...I just want to tell you one thing..." The doctor slowly raised his head, looking straight at Xia Bing.He suddenly took off the mask, his mouth was covered with blood, his upper and lower lips were eaten by himself, and he was chewing in his mouth, "Our fourth evolution has been successful..."

What?Xia Bing was thrown by him, and the stench came to his face. He couldn't keep his neck, and was bitten hard.At the last moment he looked at the folding bed.

Xia Yueyue, who had white eyes, just sat up and threw herself at Chen Zhong, who was still sleeping.

"Don't!" Xia Bing shuddered and sat up from the bed, his legs were too strong, causing him to roll over from the side of the bed.

His legs touched the ground in an instant, and his chin hit the edge of the bed. The startled movement not only woke up the two children, but also woke up Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhong also jumped up. During this period of time, he had trained his stress response, so he looked for weapons as soon as he got out of bed.He stood by the bed, firmly grasping his skates in his hands. His eyes, which had just woken up from sleep, were still not used to the sunlight, and he couldn't move away. "What's wrong!"

What's wrong?Xia Bing was weakly lying on the side of the bed, and in front of him were two children who were still in shock. He looked at Chen Zhong again, looked back, and searched carefully on the faces of the two children.

After half a minute, Xia Bing realized that he was having a nightmare.

"It's okay, I'm dreaming...it's okay, it's okay." He supported the bedside and stood up with his own strength. The corpse disaster not only affected normal life, but also dealt a fatal blow to his spirit.His ankles were stiff, but his knees were weak. Xia Bing sat paralyzed at the end of the bed, and suddenly realized that today's day was extraordinarily bright.

He squinted his eyes and looked towards the door of the tent.Outside the door, busy medical staff were distributing medicine and oxygen tanks, and the rescue team had just passed by. A beam of sunlight shone in through the opening in the tent, and just landed on Xia Bing's eyelids.

It was hot, the sun was hot, Xia Bing looked outside, the clouds that had lingered for months finally began to disappear, revealing the light blue sky and the long-lost sun.

It's all over, Xia Bing smiled, the nightmare is over, it's really all over.
