sunset escape

Teacher He's expression, if you want to describe it, can probably be summed up in three words - miscalculation.

But Xiang Jiajun couldn't figure out what the other party had miscalculated, and was a little worried for a while, not even caring about the conversation just now being heard by He Chen, so he walked over and asked, "Why are you getting wet, where is the car?"

Teacher He took a deep look at him, as if he was enduring something, but in the end he couldn't bear it any longer, and asked angrily, "What the hell are you..."

Xiang Jiayun was taken aback by this momentum, and looked back innocently with a puzzled expression.

He Chen spoke halfway, looked at his face, and forcibly swallowed the remaining half of the sentence.After holding back for a while, I turned my irritability into a helpless sigh, "I'm out of gas, I'll walk back, and I'll talk about it later."

Just like a balloon was suddenly punctured by a needle, it wilted down.

He still wanted to ask something, but He Chen passed him and looked at Zhuang Fan at the side, his expression had returned to normal, and he said, "I heard that you can exchange supplies here."

Zhuang Fan was listening to the gossip, and suddenly came to business, and walked up to him, "Yes, either barter for goods, or labor for barter, patrol or go out to search for supplies and rescue people, choose one."

"Barter, do you have gas?"

"Yes, but it's quite expensive," Zhuang Fan looked at him, "It's about the same price as water, do you want it?"

He Chen nodded.Zhuang Fan smiled heartily, turned around and called his brother to bring a barrel of oil over.

"Wait!" Xiang Jiayun stopped between the two, and said to the person in charge of Zhuang, "I don't need water, I can patrol."

Zhuang Fan showed a surprised expression, but high-quality labor is scarce, so don't take it for nothing.Just about to nod, Xiang Jiajun was suddenly pulled over by He Chen.

"What are you patrolling? Your legs are fine, and your hands are still injured." Teacher He lowered his voice, speaking quickly and severely.

He also became anxious all of a sudden, and retorted in a low voice: "We still have to keep our water for drinking, where can we exchange it!"

"It's enough," He Chen added, "I found my mother and I were young, and brought back a lot of water by the way."

Xiang Jiayun stayed where she was, without making a sound for a long time.

How so fast.

After He Chen got the oil, he paid Zhuang Fan on credit first, saying that he would go and drive the car over first, and the water was in the car.

"In principle, credit is not allowed here," Zhuang Fan glanced back and forth between He Chen and Xiang Jiayun, "but this time there is an exception."

"Thanks." He Chen got the oil, turned around and left.Passed through the base, walked into the rain curtain from another door of the factory.

Looking at that figure from behind, Xiang Jiayun felt uncomfortable.

But for the time being, he suppressed the sour emotions of being about to part, and turned to ask Zhuang Fan: "Why make an exception for us, aren't you afraid that other people will find out and make trouble?"

"Anyway, we won't say it," the man pulled Liu Yao, who was watching from the sidelines, and put his arm on the boy's shoulders, "he probably won't, right?"

The young man's own aura was greatly suppressed, and he appeared to be more pure, kind and loyal. He nodded in a daze, "I won't say it."

Xiang Jiayun was dissatisfied with this answer, and insisted, "Why make an exception?"

The foolish smile on Zhuang Fan's face faded away, and his expression became serious, "The base is short of manpower, so you and him are a good fit. You can fight and do things, and you don't have any wrong thoughts."

To stay and do things for the base?

Xiang Jiajun had never thought about this, as if subconsciously believed that he and He Chen would always be on the road.

He thought that He Chen had already found his mother, so he unconsciously avoided this topic.

"Ask him about this." After that, he turned and left the door.

Liu Yao couldn't understand why Brother Xiang left suddenly. He was fine just now, so why did he look so depressed now.

He shook Brother Zhuang's arm on his shoulder and asked, "I can fight and do things too, can you see me?"

Zhuang Fan laughed out loud when he heard the words, took his hand back for a while, and patted his back.

"I'm afraid you can't hit the little girl in the car, you little brat."

**

Xiang Jiayun's mind was in a mess, and he sat on the bed for a long time before realizing that it was time to change his dressing.

But alcohol and medical gauze were in the car.

What should he do when Teacher He comes back later?Although He Chen doesn't seem like a perfidious person, but if we really want to separate...

Forget it, he's not someone who needs to rely on others, so it's no big deal to come here all these years alone.

It's just that the hug last night still haunts him.

As he was walking, a hand quietly appeared on the pile of materials in his peripheral vision.

Subconsciously, he immediately grabbed that hand, squeezed his wrist with all his strength, and looked up, and it turned out to be a middle-aged man in the next bed.

The man's eyes showed the radiance of being caught, and he was probably thinking wildly.But before he could speak, he was warned to Jiayun: "You know, what will happen to stealing from others in the last days?"

The man sneered, "I didn't steal it, I just wanted to see it, and I accidentally touched it."

Xiang Jiayun was extremely upset. These were the supplies he and Mr. He managed to obtain with great difficulty. How could anyone steal them at will.

Throwing away the man's wrist, he deliberately sneered twice, trying his best to pretend to be ferocious, "Once a thief is caught, his ears will usually be cut off, and other parts are not impossible. You also have a little freedom of choice."

Xiang Jiayun took out the boning knife from his trouser pocket, pulled off the knife cover, and shook it in his hand, "Would you like to try it?"

The man withdrew to his seat with an expression of reluctance, without even faking his expression, and took another look at his supplies.

This is the fifth day of the outbreak.In the future, supplies will only become more and more scarce. I don't know if the sheep raised here will become crazy wolves if they are extremely hungry.

He planned in his heart that he couldn't stay at this base for long.Whether you are alone, or with Teacher He and his family, you should leave here as soon as possible.

He Chen came back soon, and Xiang Jiajun noticed a few figures at the door, so he hurried over.

There was a middle-aged woman and a young man who was about the same age as He Chen.He Chen was talking to them, and his whole body was very relaxed, and it was obvious that he was very familiar with these people.

He Chen noticed him, waved, and introduced him after he approached, "This is my mother, and this is my friend, Chen Xuan."

Then he turned around and said to the two, "This is the companion I met on the road, and also my former student, Xiang Jiayun."

He hadn't encountered the situation of being introduced to an elder for a long time, and it took him a second to remember to say hello. He quickly bent over with a smile, and turned his head sincerely.

"Hello, Auntie," he said, looking at Teacher He's friend, "Hello."

Both were a little haggard.Mama He's hair is a little messy, but because she is tall and straight, with a capable temperament, she is not too listless.

He Chen's friend looked calm and introverted, with black spots under his eyes, but he still nodded to him with a smile.

Mother He looked at him with a polite smile, "Xiao Xiang, thank you for taking care of He Chen along the way."

He quickly waved his hands, "No, no, Auntie is serious. Teacher He takes care of me more."

"My surname is Xu. You can just call me Aunt Xu." Xu Feng didn't continue to be courteous with him, his brows and eyes were full of fatigue, and he lost energy to chat with him after smiling.

Xiang Jiayun hurriedly called Aunt Xu, but then she didn't know what to say.Fortunately, He Chen came over and said to him as if no one else was around: "I'll take them to settle down first, you wait for me in the car, and I will change your medicine later."

As he spoke, he stuffed the car keys into Xiang Jiajun's pocket, and then took the two of them to the depths of the factory.

Xiang Jiayun watched them off, but Chen Xuan suddenly turned his head and met his gaze.

He was at a loss for a moment, but Chen Xuan gave him a friendly smile, as if looking back at him just out of curiosity.

Xiang Jiajun was equally curious about He Chen's mother and friends, but he was so bored that he had no choice but to stop thinking about these things and force himself to fill his mind with other things.

Turning around and going back to the bed, I packed all the supplies in front of the middle-aged man next to me, picked them up, and prepared to move them back into the car.

He walked back to the parking lot and glanced at it before getting into the car. There was an unfamiliar car next to him, which should belong to He Chenfa's youngest.

Xiang Jiayun took an inventory in the jeep, and found that the quantity and types of supplies were all right, and there were two more boxes of water.He took out the medicine box and set it up, and He Chen came over after a short while.

As soon as I got in the co-pilot, I asked him for something, "Help me get a piece of dry clothes."

Xiang Jiayun found one from the mountaineering bag and handed it to him, but didn't know whether to avoid it.

But He Chen didn't seem to care at all, and took off his shirt in front of him.

He sneaked a glance, and the bruises on his abdomen had almost disappeared. Fortunately, the car accident was not serious.

"Look at what I'm doing," He Chen said abruptly, "Haven't you taken off the bandage yet?"

Xiang Jiayun came back to his senses, and was not in a hurry to remove his bandage, but reminded: "I'll change it for you first, the gauze is already wet from the rain."

He took out a new roll of gauze and alcohol cotton, and stood by, waiting for Teacher He to undo the bandage on his forehead.

But after He Chen put on the dry clothes, he didn't move, but leaned sideways on the back of the chair, looking at him seriously.

The irritable feeling from before reappeared on his face, but he was still enduring it.

"Xiang Jiayun, you're so active again...forget it, let me ask you a question first." He Chen's tone switched to counselor mode, calling him by first and last name, as if he was talking to a favorite student.

He intuitively felt that this time was not like the previous bickering, it was more serious, so he straightened his back unconsciously, "What are you asking?"

He Chen didn't hesitate like before, and asked bluntly: "Do you know why I hugged you last night?"

Xiang Jiayun's heart sank suddenly, as if a beat was missing.
