"Brother?" Major General Lin asked softly, "Brother you met on the road?"
Yan Bubu stared at him in horror and nodded.
Feng Chen suddenly said from the side: "I was sick some time ago, and I met him on the street. He found me some food and medicine. After I recovered, I simply took him with me."
"Really?" Major General Lin still pinched Yan Bubu's chin, without even looking at Feng Chen.
Yan Bubu raised his head stiffly: "Yes, yes."
"Then tell me in detail."
"The medicine I found for my brother, still, I still stepped on the dead, and I found bread. Someone, someone wanted to grab it, but I didn't let it go. That person, that person I saw just now, he also lives here, still, And make faces at me."
Although Yan Bubu stuttered, he probably expressed his meaning clearly.After a moment of silence, Major General Lin let go of his chin, and slowly straightened up. His eyes were still cold, but one hand was put into his pocket.
Seeing this movement, Feng Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, his face turned pale, and his right hand calmly reached behind his waist.
But in the next second, Major General Lin took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to Yan Bubu: "Take it."
Yan Bubu took the lollipop mechanically, without thanking him, and just stood there numbly.
Major General Lin turned to Feng Chen again: "Accordingly, you have to go back to your room at eleven o'clock in the evening, but you just entered the dungeon, I can make an exception for you tonight, go take a bath first, wash your body, don't bring the germs on the ground .”
Feng Chen put his hand back to its original position and nodded.Only then did Major General Lin turn around and lead a group of soldiers into the distance.
"Ahem...then let's continue, go to your room." Wu You remained silent from the beginning to the end, and kept leaning against the wall until now: "This is Major General Lin, who is now the highest rank in the underground settlement. The officer in charge of the entire resettlement site."
Yan Bubu was still holding up the lollipop in a daze, Feng Chen took it and peeled off the layer of colored paper, and stuffed it back into his palm: "Let's go."
drop--
There was another long ringing of the bell, and the messy sound of closing doors and footsteps just now disappeared, and everyone had already returned to their respective rooms.
The three of them walked to the place where the straight corridor began to bend. Wu You stopped, took out a room card, and opened the door next to the room with C68 written on it.
"This is the room for the two of you." Wu You didn't enter the door, but reached out and turned on the light.
Feng Chen was about to walk in, but Wu You stopped him: "Be careful, the bed is at the door."
Yan Bubu also came forward and looked at the room together with Feng Chen.
The room is extremely small and cramped, reminding Yan Bubu of the utility room under the stairs at home.The furnishings are also very simple, just a single bed and a low cabinet.Moreover, this room is triangular, with a plastic curtain hanging on the pointed part, half revealing the toilet behind, and the single bed can only be placed horizontally at the door with a slightly larger space.
"This room is for you to live in. Although it is not big, you are only two and a half children, and you can't live in a big house. Besides, we are not rats. After all, we won't live in the dungeon for long. After summer, the temperature will not be so hot. We also cleaned up the ground, we still have to go up.”
Wu You pointed to the bed at the door: "Although the door is blocked by it, it's easy for the two of you to climb over. This house cannot accommodate elderly people, only you two are suitable."
"Ok."
Feng Chen doesn't mind that the room is small, nor does he mind that the door is blocked, as long as there is a place to hide now, it will be fine.
Wu You patted him on the shoulder: "Sensible!"
Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered again: "I gave you this room because I saw that it was not easy for you two children. In a situation like yours, you will live in an eight-person room, crowded with others, and everyone The monthly rent also costs ten credits. The monthly rent is too expensive for that kind of separate large room, which costs fifty credits per month. Only people with families will live in it. Although your room is small, It only costs [-] credits per month, which is actually the same as the cost of living in a room for eight people."
"Thank you uncle." Feng Chen said.
Yan Bubu followed suit and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you Uncle."
"This month is free, and you will have to pay rent every month." Wu You handed the room card to Feng Chen, "You two don't even have any luggage, and there are some daily necessities in the warehouse over there, which were dug out during the earthquake. The Western Union Army didn't need it, so it was thrown there, and you and I went to pick out what we needed."
The two followed him and went to the warehouse to get things first.
The so-called warehouse is a large room filled with miscellaneous items, which should have been moved in by the Western Union Army from those collapsed supermarkets.
Feng Chen took a plastic basin, a kettle, two stainless steel lunch boxes, two toothbrushes, mouthwash cups and soap and toothpaste.Before going out, Wu You lost a bottle of shower gel, washing powder, and a brand new bath towel in his basin.
Although these things are usually worthless, the earthquake destroyed the entire city, and I don't know how long it will take to restore the industry. Even a piece of ordinary soap will only become more and more precious in the future.
Feng Chen knew that Wu You was indeed taking care of them, so he thanked them again.
"It's okay." Wu You rubbed Yan Bubu's head a few times, and suddenly laughed: "My son is like him, his hair is also naturally curly. It looks good."
Walking out of the warehouse, Wu You continued to instruct: "Going forward is the bathhouse. Just now Major General Lin ordered you to take a bath first. Do you have clean clothes?"
"Have."
"Dirty clothes are washed by hand and hung next to the bathroom. There are vents there, and the clothes can be dried quickly. After taking a shower, go back to the room. Don't wander around, so as not to be caught by the patrol. By the way, the water room is in the Next door to the bathhouse, remember to fetch water."
"Understood, thank you uncle."
The two returned to C68, Feng Chen rolled over from the bed, just about to pick up Yan Bubu, when he found that he had slipped in from under the bed.
The room, though small, was clean and had obviously never been occupied before.Feng Chen touched the off-white wall, and found that it was made of a special material, which can not only be waterproof and earthquake-resistant, but also effectively cut off hot and cold air.It seems that when the Eastern and Western coalition forces worked together to build the dungeon, they really spent a lot of effort.
There is a small cabinet at the corner of the triangle. Feng Chen took off his backpack and put some items in it. Yan Bubu came over at this moment, squatted down beside him, and held something to his mouth: " Young master, let me eat."
Feng Chen looked down, it was the lollipop.
"Did you not eat?"
Yan Bubu said, "I didn't eat it, I kept it in my hand all the time."
Feng Chen continued to pack his things: "Eat it, I don't like candy."
Yan Bubu just put the candy into his mouth, and after sucking it a few times, he laughed pleasantly: "Ha, it's strawberry flavored."
Feng Chen glanced at him, then suddenly stopped.
"Where's your tooth? When did you lose another tooth?"
Yan Bubu originally had only one gap in his front teeth, but now both of his front teeth have disappeared, and the gap has widened into a hole.
He reached out to touch it, but Feng Chen grabbed his wrist: "Don't touch it randomly, your hands are so dirty."
"When did it drop?" Feng Chen asked.
Yan Bubu pushed his tongue against it, and recalled: "When I was still on it just now, someone grabbed me, I bit him, and it seemed to knock him off."
"What about the teeth?" Feng Chen asked.
Yan Bubu looked at him blankly, and after a while he said, "When you ran with me, I felt something in my mouth, so I swallowed it."
Feng Chen didn't ask about the teeth anymore, he got up and searched for a place to hide the cipher box in the room.
The cipher box cannot always be carried on the body, and it is not safe to put it in the cabinet, but this small house can be seen at a glance, except for the cabinet and the metal bed.
Finally, he thought of a way, found a tape from the tool box, and stuck the cipher box to the innermost place under the bed.As long as others don't go into the house like Yan Bubu to drill the foot of the bed, they won't find the cipher box pasted there.
After putting away the tape roll, Feng Chen took the plastic basin containing the two people's changes of clothes, and said, "Let's go, let's go take a shower."
He walked to the bed and was about to turn over, but found that Yan Bubu was still squatting on the ground, holding the lollipop in his mouth, with a distraught expression on his face.
"Let's go."
Yan Bubu looked at him anxiously: "Master, will I..."
"No, I just swallowed a tooth." Feng Chen knew what he was worried about.
"But……"
"I swallowed it, and I'm still standing here." Feng Chen lied without changing his expression.
Yan Bubu finally showed a relieved expression, and let out a breath: "Let's go, let's take a bath."
He walked to the side of the bed, and was about to get under it, but was blocked by Feng Chen who was sitting on the bed.
Feng Chen looked at him with deep eyes: "Annoyer, what should you call me?"
Just as Yan Bubu was about to speak, he thought of something again, and swallowed the sound of young master, his eyes drifted left and right: "Then, what is it called?"
"What do you say?"
Yan Bubu asked softly, "Yes, is that brother?"
Feng Chen looked at his big eyes that turned back and forth, withdrew his hand and said, "Remember, from now on, call me brother, don't call me young master, even in private, lest you can't change your name."
"Brother, brother..." Yan Bubu murmured twice, then raised his head and smiled at Feng Chen, with crooked eyebrows and eyes: "Okay, brother."
Feng Chen asked again: "When Major General Lin asked you just now, why did you suddenly call me brother?"
"Ah... I just think that if we don't dare to tell the truth in front of them, then we must not tell the truth about anything else." Yan Bubu asked a little nervously, "Did I call it wrong just now?"
"No." Feng Chen affirmed.
Yan Bubu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, I knew."
"Let's go." Feng Chen turned over the bed, and Yan Bubu got under the bed, saw the cryptex box hanging under the bed, and giggled: "Hey, a small beehive in a big beehive."
Turning off the lights and closing the door, the two walked down the empty corridor.The surrounding area was quiet, with no wind or noise from nature, except for the occasional sound of a baby crying from a certain room.
The searchlight beams fell from the dome, sweeping across the ground outside the hive from time to time, reflecting the cold steel supports.
The hive is a large ellipsoid, with the bathhouse at the end of the arc where the view is blocked.Going forward along the gradually curved corridor, you can already see the word bathhouse written on the top of the corridor, but Feng Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks.
On the iron fence in front, there was a bird with a pitch-black body, which looked like a vulture.It merged with the night, if it weren't for the flashing searchlights, it would be invisible at all.
But how could there be a living bird in the dungeon? Could it be a sculpture?
Feng Chen was thinking like this, but the vulture turned his head, and his eyes fell on him and Yan Bubu.
It's actually alive!
It's obviously just a bird, but its gaze is icy cold and piercing. When Feng Chen is stared at by it like this, a strange feeling arises in his heart, as if someone is looking at himself and Yan Bubu through its eyes.
Seeing that he stopped, Yan Bubu also looked forward, then turned back: "Brother, what are you looking at?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Chen felt that Vulture's gaze had changed, became colder, and added a bit of scrutiny.
It can understand Yan Bubu's words.
"It's nothing, the shoelace is loose." Feng Chen said calmly.
"Brother, do you want me to tie it for you?"
"I will do it myself."
Feng Chen put the basin on the ground, knelt down to tie his shoelaces, the vulture fluttered its wings, flew to him and landed.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could catch a glimpse of the vulture's two bony claws. Even though they were so close, Yan Bubu still ignored them, holding the two mouthwash cups in his hand, and muttering: "I'll help my brother get the mouthwash cup, I help my brother get the toothbrush, and I help my brother get the toothpaste..."
Since Feng Chen asked him to change his words just now, he always brought a brother with every sentence.
Feng Chen tied up his shoelaces, picked up the basin as if nothing had happened, and took Yan Bubu's hand: "Let's go, take a shower, and go back to bed after washing."
He walked forward without looking away, turned left into the bathhouse, and did not look at the vulture in the process.After entering the bathhouse, there was the sound of fluttering wings outside, and the vulture should have flown away.
The men's bathroom is large, but not very brightly lit, a row of small cubicles, each with a plastic curtain hanging in front of it.
Feng Chen let Yan Bubu into a room, turned on the hot water nozzle for him, and went to the next door by himself.The basin containing the shower gel is placed at the junction of the two rooms, so that both of them can reach for it.
He hadn't taken such a hot bath for a long time. He raised his head and closed his eyes, letting the hot water wash over his body, but he was thinking about the scene just now.
Adai's snakes, black lions, vultures, and Yan Bubu couldn't see it, there was no doubt about it.
The key is whether other people can see it?Is this Yan Bubu's problem, or his own?
Although he can't ask others, Feng Chen prefers that this is his own problem, otherwise Adai would not have said that at the time.
You and I are of the same kind...
similar……
"Brother." Yan Bubu suddenly said, interrupting Feng Chen's thoughts.
"how?"
"It's okay, I just called you."
Feng Chen squeezed a ball of shower gel on his body, and continued to ponder: How did these weird animals appear?The black lion disappeared after rescuing him and never appeared again. Can we still see it?
"Brother." Yan Bubu called him again from the next door.
Feng Chen didn't want to talk to him this time, so he didn't make a sound.
"Brother, brother." Yan Bubu began to call him repeatedly, and his voice gradually became tense.
Feng Chen got impatient with being called, and was about to reply when he heard pattering footsteps, Yan Bubu had already run over from the next door.
A corner of the plastic curtain at the door of the cubicle was lifted by a small hand full of foam, Feng Chen quickly pressed the curtain: "What are you doing?"
"Ah, so you're still here."
Feng Chen asked angrily: "Where can I go if I'm not here? Go back to the side."
Yan Bubu stood outside without moving, and he didn't let go of the hand holding the curtain.
"What are you doing standing outside? It's only been a few minutes, have you finished your shower yet?" Feng Chen frowned.
Yan Bubu's cautious voice sounded: "Brother, that, can I take a bath with you?"
"No."
"I'll rub your back."
"unnecessary!"
Yan Bubu rolled his eyes: "I don't occupy much space, just stand in a corner."
"no!"
"But, but..."
"I told you I won't go."
"No, hey, anyway, I'm scared, let me in." Yan Bubu began to forcefully drill in.
Feng Chen hadn't bathed with anyone since he could remember, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it.But Yan Bubu's body was full of foam, and he was as slippery as a fish, almost slipping in through the gap in the curtain.
"All right, all right, go back and take a shower, call me whatever you want, no matter how many times you call, I will agree." Feng Chen could only say in a flustered manner.
Yan Bubu then went back to the next door.
In the empty public men's bathhouse, the voices of the two continued to echo.
"elder brother."
"Ah."
"Brother, do you think soap smells better, or shower gel?"
"Ah."
"A lot of bubbles, hahaha."
"Ah."
"This lollipop is delicious."
"Hmm...you haven't finished eating yet? Are you still eating while taking a bath?"
"Yeah, I can't bear to bite into pieces."
Feng Chen was silent for a moment, and asked, "Didn't you taste the soapy water washed down from your head?"
Yan Bubu said, "I tasted a little bit, it was bitter."
Feng Chen immediately raised his hand and patted the partition wall, and said sharply: "Either throw away the candy, or eat it right away, brush your teeth after eating, and continue to take a bath."
"understood."
There was the sound of crunching and chewing sugar next door.
After taking a shower, Yan Bubu changed into a new set of clothes brought out from the fashion city, a yellow T-shirt and overalls.Feng Chen also wore a new set, with a gray T-shirt on his upper body and black trousers underneath.
While Yan Bubu was full of praise for the Binunu pattern on his chest, Feng Chen threw the dirty clothes that the two of them had changed into the basin and carried them to the laundry table outside.
The water room was still empty, except that there were four huge wind wheels embedded on the wall behind the washing table, making a humming sound.
A few iron wires were pulled in front of the wind wheel, and a dozen pieces of clothes were hung on it, which seemed to have been dried, and were shaken from side to side by the air current.
Feng Chen put washing powder in the basin and started to wash clothes.His hair was a little longer, and a few strands were wet over his eyes, which weakened the indifference of his body and made him a little softer.
"Brother, how can I let you do the laundry? I am serving you, let me do the laundry." Yan Bubu exclaimed with an exaggerated expression, and began to roll up his sleeves.
Feng Chen rubbed his clothes vigorously, pursed his lips and said nothing, and didn't even look at him.
Yan Bubu observed his expression, and moved closer: "I don't know how to wash now, but I will definitely do it in the future. Let me serve you in the future, okay?"
Feng Chen put the rubbed T-shirt under the faucet, picked up a pair of pants and started rubbing.
——It was a pair of dark blue boy's overalls, and the trouser legs were covered with mud.
"Brother, I like you so much, why are you so nice?" Yan Bubu was full of flattery, and his voice was as soft as honey.
Feng Chen, who was expressionless at first, suddenly frowned, and raised his elbow to push him away: "Shut up, I'm so numb, if you say another word, I'll wash these clothes by myself."
Yan Bubu closed his mouth awkwardly, and began to look around the room, his eyes fell on the four wind wheels above the wall, and he couldn't help being curious.
"Brother, is that an electric fan?"
"no."
Yan Bubu asked: "What is that?"
"Air displacer, if there is no such device in the dungeon, there will be no fresh air."
Feng Chen also looked back at the row of air displacers on the wall.
The scale of the underground city is huge, and these four air displacers alone are definitely not enough. They must have been installed in many places, and then use common pipes to continuously input fresh air into the underground city.
Feng Chen continued to wash clothes, Yan Bubu only stared at the four wind wheels.
The fan blades rotated rapidly, and from the edge, one could see the darkness inside. It seemed that there was some kind of unknown danger dormant in the depths of the extreme darkness.
Yan Bubu suddenly felt frightened, a chill ran up his back, he quickly turned his eyes away, and grabbed Feng Chen who was beside him.
After Feng Chen finished washing his clothes, he wrung them dry and shook them loose, and hung them on the wire in front of the wind wheel. There is a circulating air flow here, and he can come to collect the clothes tomorrow morning.
Yan Bubu was a little afraid of the wind wheel and didn't dare to get close, but he was also afraid that Feng Chen would be swept in by the wind, so he followed behind, grasping the hem of his clothes with both hands, and bound his feet into a horse stance on the ground.
"Let go, my clothes are all deformed by you." Feng Chen put a pair of trousers on the wire and shouted in a low voice.
But Yan Bubu didn't let go: "Just grab it for a while, just a while."
Feng Chen had no choice but to hang Yan Bubu behind him in this posture of tightening his clothes, and finish drying all the clothes.
It was getting late, Feng Chen boiled a pot of water on the water boiler next to him, and the two returned to room C68.
Although there is only one single bed in the room, it can completely sleep the two of them.The single bed was covered with gray sheets, but there was no quilt. Fortunately, Feng Chen also brought the blankets from the minibus school bus, pulled them out of his backpack, and shared one with Yan Bubu.
Although the bed was a bit hard, Yan Bubu hadn't slept in it for a long time, so he quickly stripped himself down to a pair of underpants, wrapped him in a blanket, and tossed and turned excitedly.
Holding two lunch boxes, Feng Chen poured the boiling water back and forth. When the water cooled down, he handed one to Yan Bubu: "Drink some water."
"Ah, drink water...forget it, I won't drink it." Yan Bubu shook his head.
Feng Chen drank by himself, but seeing Yan Bubu was staring at him, he handed over another lunch box again.
Yan Bubu hesitated, licked his dry mouth with his tongue, sat up, took the lunch box, and began to drink water.
After he finished drinking, Feng Chen put away the empty lunch box, turned off the light with a snap, and lay down beside him.
There were no windows in this room, and it was pitch black after the lights were turned off, only a small ventilation device on the side wall, which quietly blows the wind in.
Feng Chen closed his eyes, folded his hands in front of his chest, Yan Bubu stretched out a foot from the blanket, and placed it on his lap.
Feng Chen picked up the foot, threw it away, withdrew his hand and continued to sleep.
After a while, Yan Bubu stretched out his hand again, placed it on the back of his hand, and gently scratched the back of his hand.
"Sleep well, can't you?" Feng Chen shouted unbearably.
Yan Bubu whispered, "Brother, please pinch my ears."
"Why are you pinching your ears?"
Yan Bubu said: "When I was sleeping, my mother would pinch my ears, otherwise I would not be able to sleep."
Feng Chen was silent for a moment: "I haven't pinched your ears for a while, and I think you slept soundly."
Yan Bubu said: "That's because we didn't sleep together. If we sleep together, I won't be able to sleep if you don't pinch my ears."
Feng Chen threw his hand away: "Sleep quickly, if you move around again, you will go to sleep on the ground."
His cold deterrence took effect, Yan Bubu withdrew his hand, began to sleep peacefully, and soon started snoring.
Drowsiness flooded in like a tide, Feng Chen put away his chaotic thoughts and fell asleep.
……
When Feng Chen opened his eyes in his sleep and found himself in that snowy field again, he was not at all surprised.He stood up calmly and walked straight to the big silkworm cocoon in the snow.
Before he got close, he saw the black shadow inside through the frosted glass-like cocoon shell.
The outline of the black shadow was clearer than the last time I saw it, clearly showing the body and head, and...the curled paws and the tail behind.
Feng Chen stepped forward and found that the cocoon shell was covered with fine lines, like a chick gently pecking with a sharp beak, pecking out cracks on the eggshell.
He covered the slightly elastic shell with his hands, stared at the black shadow inside, and moved his gaze along the outline.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
——This black shadow looks like the black lion that once caught him in the air.
The pulsation from under the eggshell was stronger than ever, beating with his heart.He closed his eyes and felt it quietly. He could feel that the black lion was dormant, like self-regulation after exhaustion.
Could it be that the black lion hadn't fully grown, and the reason why it was able to catch him in the air when he fell was because it broke through the restraint at that moment, and now it has returned to the cocoon, and it needs a period of growth and repair?
Feng Chen looked at one of the thickest cracks, wanting to peel off the cocoon shell and take a look at the situation inside, but just after this consciousness was formed, there was a buzzing sound in his head, as if being hit hard by a dull hammer, Suddenly the sky and the earth spin...
Feng Chen opened his eyes suddenly, it was pitch black, and there was still a buzzing sound in his ears.
He stretched out his hand to grope around, touched a small warm body, and then slowly came back to his senses, remembering that he was still sleeping in the beehive room, with Yan Bubu lying next to him.
And the big silkworm cocoon just now, and the black lion inside the silkworm cocoon, seemed to be just a dream.
But Feng Chen knew that this was not a dream, the black lion must exist in his body in some form, and was sleeping quietly.
Where would that be?
He touched his chest, impossible.Touch the abdomen again, it doesn't look like it.
Finally, when his fingers rested on his forehead, he paused.
...could it be here?
There was a noise coming from nowhere, like a couple arguing, accompanied by loud bang bang bang bang.Soon there were footsteps in the corridor, and a team of Western Union troops kicked open a certain door, and the noise stopped abruptly.
The surroundings became quiet again, and the night was as thick as magma that could not be melted. Feng Chen withdrew his fingers touching his forehead, blinked his eyes blankly, and suddenly couldn't tell the difference between the snowy land just now and the dark night in front of him. Which one is real.
"...Eat another one." Yan Bubu turned over suddenly, and buried his head in Feng Chen's arms while talking.
Feng Chen felt his warm breath on the side of his neck, and only then did he have a sense of reality, so he didn't push him away, just hugging each other, closed his eyes and began to sleep.
The next day, Feng Chen woke up early as usual, but Yan Bubu was still asleep with his hands and feet wrapped around him.
He pushed Yan Bubu away, got up amidst his dissatisfied grunts, went to the washing table to wash his mouth and face, and then put away the dried clothes.
When he came back, Yan Bubu had already adjusted his sleeping position, with his hands at his sides, lying down neatly, his face was covered by a blanket, and only his unkempt curly hair was exposed from above.
Feng Chen stretched out his hand to pull the blanket, but suddenly he raised his hand and pressed the towel tightly.
"What are you doing? Wake up and not get up?" Feng Chen asked.
Yan Bubu pressed the blanket and said nothing.
Feng Chen looked at the time, it was seven o'clock, and it was almost time for breakfast as Wu You said, so he pushed him: "Don't hold back, get up and get ready for breakfast."
Yan Bubu's head was shaking from side to side under the blanket, and a muffled voice came out: "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."
Neither of them had a serious meal yesterday, so how could they not be hungry?Feng Chen suspected that Yan Bubu was sick, so he stretched out his hand to touch his exposed forehead, feeling that the temperature under his palm was normal.
In the silence, there were two cooing sounds, it was Yan Bubu's stomach growling.
"Get up." Feng Chen ordered.
"I don't get up, I don't eat."
Feng Chen looked at him silently for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hand to tear off the blanket, Yan Bubu reached out to grab it, but it was in vain.
He suddenly raised his eyes to look at Feng Chen, those eyes were full of nervousness and panic.
Feng Chen asked coldly: "Why don't you get up? Are you getting angry again?"
Yan Bubu pursed his lips, as if he was talking about something, but the sound was like a mosquito humming, Feng Chen couldn't catch a word.
"Now is not the past, nor is it at home. We are fleeing, and no one will get used to your getting up."
As soon as Feng Chen finished saying this sentence, he saw Yan Bubu's expression became aggrieved, and his mouth puckered twice.
"What do you want to do?" Feng Chen asked alertly.
Yan Bubu looked at him without blinking, and the watery light flickered in those big eyes.
not good!
Feng Chen's heart shuddered, and he swallowed the rest of the unfinished training.
When he was at home, Yan Bubu would cry whenever he saw the sky, even if he closed the doors and windows tightly, the sharp magic sound would come in, continuous and lingering, very frightening.
Seeing that he seemed about to cry again, Feng Chen shouted in a low voice as if facing an enemy: "Don't cry."
If he didn't say this, Yan Bubu might have held back, but as soon as he uttered this low drink, Yan Bubu's tears immediately rolled down from the corners of his eyes, and at the same time he closed his eyes and opened his mouth.
Fortunately, he didn't cry loudly, only whimpered in a low tone, but even so, Feng Chen's scalp became tense, and he quickly sat on the side of the bed.
"If you have something to say, don't cry, hold back all the sadness."
Yan Bubu gasped and said, "Brother, brother, I didn't, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it."
How could Feng Chen dare to provoke him at this time: "All right, all right, if you don't want to get up, just lie down and don't cry."
"I, I don't want to, I want to lie down, I don't want to get up, I am, I am..."
Feng Chen sensed that something was wrong, so he asked softly, "What's wrong with you? Tell me."
After a while, Yan Bubu said, "I, urinated again, and wet the bed."
Feng Chen was stunned, and opened the blanket, and saw that Yan Bubu's underpants were already wet, and the bed sheet underneath was also soaked.
"I thought, I wanted to get up, but, I peed." Yan Bubu twitched, "I shouldn't, I shouldn't drink water before going to bed, I was wrong, I shouldn't be six years old and still wet the bed. "
Only then did Feng Chen come back to his senses: "It's okay, it's okay."
"No, all right?" Yan Bubu looked at him tearfully.
"It's really fine." Feng Chen confirmed in a deep voice.
Compared with Yan Bubu's crying, bedwetting is really not a big deal.
Yan Bubu was a little stunned, but immediately stopped crying.
Feng Chen went to the cabinet to search for clean underwear, Yan Bubu stood up and stripped himself naked, like a shelled peanut.
When Feng Chen handed over the underwear, Yan Bubu was about to sit down and wear it, Feng Chen pulled him to the side of the bed: "Sit here."
The center of the bed was already wet with urine, and I couldn't sit on it.
Although Yan Bubu still had tears on his face, he couldn't put it down touching the pattern on his underwear: "Hey, there are little yellow ducks on these little pants, so pretty."
There are a few circles of fat piled up on his belly, the navel is almost invisible, Feng Chen urged: "Put it on quickly, don't keep looking there."
After Yan Bubu put on his underwear, he happily looked at his T-shirt: "Binunu..."
"Hurry up!"
Yan Bubu put the T-shirt on his head, Feng Chen said, "It's the wrong way."
He changed the direction of the T-shirt, but his head was stuck at the neckline again. Feng Chen stretched out his hand impatiently and pulled the T-shirt down, causing his body to shake back and forth, without showing his head.
"Brother, my ear hurts." Yan Bubu covered his head under his clothes and said in a low voice.
It was only then that Feng Chen discovered that there were two buttons on the right shoulder of his T-shirt, so he quickly unbuttoned it and loosened the collar.
Yan Bubu's head poked out, the messy curly hair on his head was more fluffy, and with those round eyes, he looked like a poodle.
After he put on the overalls slowly, Feng Chen couldn't stand the speed, so he simply squatted down and put socks on his feet.
From this angle, Yan Bubu could only see his slightly frowning brows, so he called softly, "Brother."
Feng Chen ignored him, and only patted his fleshy instep: "Lift up."
Yan Bubu raised his feet and said, "When will I grow up? I can serve you when I grow up."
No matter how restrained Feng Chen was, he really couldn't hold back, and snorted with a sneer.
When Yan Bubu woke up, Feng Chen took off the sheets, took the basin and washing powder to the water room, they had only one sheet, they had to wash it quickly and dry it before going to sleep.
Yan Bubu followed behind with a mouthwash cup, looking around curiously.
The hive in the morning is very lively, people come and go in the aisle, and a few grandparents are dancing with fans to the music played on their mobile phones.In the open door next to it, a young girl was sitting on the head of the bed, putting on makeup in front of the small round mirror on the cabinet, and a shirtless man was doing push-ups on the open space of the room for exercise.
Yan Bubu has lived in a villa since he was a child, and he has never seen such a scene, and thinks it is fresh and fun.
There were quite a few people in the water room, but they were all turning on the water or brushing their teeth and washing their faces. There was no one at the laundry counter.
Feng Chen put the basin on the laundry table, looked down at the sheets in the basin with a complicated expression.
He maintained this posture for several minutes, as if he had prepared himself mentally, and slowly raised his hand.
But the hand was hanging over the basin, after a moment of hesitation, it was finally retracted.
Yan Bubu was brushing his teeth by the sink, so guilty that he didn't dare to look at him.
Feng Chen turned on the faucet and kept flushing the sheets in the basin. After several minutes of flushing, he poured the washing powder in, and then turned his head to call Yan Bubu: "Come here."
Yan Bubu walked over obediently.
Feng Chen said, "Put your fingers in and stir left and right."
"How to stir?" Yan Bubu asked blankly.
Feng Chen said: "Have you ever seen a washing machine washing clothes? You are now a washing machine, stir a few times to the left, then a few times to the right."
Yan Bubu understood, so he handed the mouthwash cup to Feng Chen, stepped on his feet, and reached out to stir the sheets.
"Wait." Feng Chen stopped him again, rolled up his sleeves, and then said: "Come on."
Yan Bubu turned into a washing machine, put his hands into the basin, and stirred the sheets carefully, humming in his mouth.
Out of the corner of Feng Chen's eyes, he saw someone watching them, so he said in a low voice, "Don't make a sound."
"Pause." Yan Bubu pressed his forehead with the other hand, raised his head and said, "If you keep silent, the power is cut off. The washing machine cannot wash clothes even if the power is cut off. No way."
After he finished speaking, he pressed his forehead again, his mouth continued to hum, and he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the role of the washing machine.
The movement he made caused those who were brushing their teeth and washing their faces to look over.Feng Chen felt that his cheeks were a little hot, so he also pressed on Yan Bubu's forehead, and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "Mute."
Sure enough, Yan Bubu became quiet and began to stir the sheets silently.
Feng Chen didn't let him stir for a long time, and felt that it was almost done, so he drove the person to the side, picked up the basin to flush and change the water, poured in the washing powder again, and washed it a second time by himself.
Yan Bubu stared at him in horror and nodded.
Feng Chen suddenly said from the side: "I was sick some time ago, and I met him on the street. He found me some food and medicine. After I recovered, I simply took him with me."
"Really?" Major General Lin still pinched Yan Bubu's chin, without even looking at Feng Chen.
Yan Bubu raised his head stiffly: "Yes, yes."
"Then tell me in detail."
"The medicine I found for my brother, still, I still stepped on the dead, and I found bread. Someone, someone wanted to grab it, but I didn't let it go. That person, that person I saw just now, he also lives here, still, And make faces at me."
Although Yan Bubu stuttered, he probably expressed his meaning clearly.After a moment of silence, Major General Lin let go of his chin, and slowly straightened up. His eyes were still cold, but one hand was put into his pocket.
Seeing this movement, Feng Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, his face turned pale, and his right hand calmly reached behind his waist.
But in the next second, Major General Lin took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to Yan Bubu: "Take it."
Yan Bubu took the lollipop mechanically, without thanking him, and just stood there numbly.
Major General Lin turned to Feng Chen again: "Accordingly, you have to go back to your room at eleven o'clock in the evening, but you just entered the dungeon, I can make an exception for you tonight, go take a bath first, wash your body, don't bring the germs on the ground .”
Feng Chen put his hand back to its original position and nodded.Only then did Major General Lin turn around and lead a group of soldiers into the distance.
"Ahem...then let's continue, go to your room." Wu You remained silent from the beginning to the end, and kept leaning against the wall until now: "This is Major General Lin, who is now the highest rank in the underground settlement. The officer in charge of the entire resettlement site."
Yan Bubu was still holding up the lollipop in a daze, Feng Chen took it and peeled off the layer of colored paper, and stuffed it back into his palm: "Let's go."
drop--
There was another long ringing of the bell, and the messy sound of closing doors and footsteps just now disappeared, and everyone had already returned to their respective rooms.
The three of them walked to the place where the straight corridor began to bend. Wu You stopped, took out a room card, and opened the door next to the room with C68 written on it.
"This is the room for the two of you." Wu You didn't enter the door, but reached out and turned on the light.
Feng Chen was about to walk in, but Wu You stopped him: "Be careful, the bed is at the door."
Yan Bubu also came forward and looked at the room together with Feng Chen.
The room is extremely small and cramped, reminding Yan Bubu of the utility room under the stairs at home.The furnishings are also very simple, just a single bed and a low cabinet.Moreover, this room is triangular, with a plastic curtain hanging on the pointed part, half revealing the toilet behind, and the single bed can only be placed horizontally at the door with a slightly larger space.
"This room is for you to live in. Although it is not big, you are only two and a half children, and you can't live in a big house. Besides, we are not rats. After all, we won't live in the dungeon for long. After summer, the temperature will not be so hot. We also cleaned up the ground, we still have to go up.”
Wu You pointed to the bed at the door: "Although the door is blocked by it, it's easy for the two of you to climb over. This house cannot accommodate elderly people, only you two are suitable."
"Ok."
Feng Chen doesn't mind that the room is small, nor does he mind that the door is blocked, as long as there is a place to hide now, it will be fine.
Wu You patted him on the shoulder: "Sensible!"
Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered again: "I gave you this room because I saw that it was not easy for you two children. In a situation like yours, you will live in an eight-person room, crowded with others, and everyone The monthly rent also costs ten credits. The monthly rent is too expensive for that kind of separate large room, which costs fifty credits per month. Only people with families will live in it. Although your room is small, It only costs [-] credits per month, which is actually the same as the cost of living in a room for eight people."
"Thank you uncle." Feng Chen said.
Yan Bubu followed suit and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you Uncle."
"This month is free, and you will have to pay rent every month." Wu You handed the room card to Feng Chen, "You two don't even have any luggage, and there are some daily necessities in the warehouse over there, which were dug out during the earthquake. The Western Union Army didn't need it, so it was thrown there, and you and I went to pick out what we needed."
The two followed him and went to the warehouse to get things first.
The so-called warehouse is a large room filled with miscellaneous items, which should have been moved in by the Western Union Army from those collapsed supermarkets.
Feng Chen took a plastic basin, a kettle, two stainless steel lunch boxes, two toothbrushes, mouthwash cups and soap and toothpaste.Before going out, Wu You lost a bottle of shower gel, washing powder, and a brand new bath towel in his basin.
Although these things are usually worthless, the earthquake destroyed the entire city, and I don't know how long it will take to restore the industry. Even a piece of ordinary soap will only become more and more precious in the future.
Feng Chen knew that Wu You was indeed taking care of them, so he thanked them again.
"It's okay." Wu You rubbed Yan Bubu's head a few times, and suddenly laughed: "My son is like him, his hair is also naturally curly. It looks good."
Walking out of the warehouse, Wu You continued to instruct: "Going forward is the bathhouse. Just now Major General Lin ordered you to take a bath first. Do you have clean clothes?"
"Have."
"Dirty clothes are washed by hand and hung next to the bathroom. There are vents there, and the clothes can be dried quickly. After taking a shower, go back to the room. Don't wander around, so as not to be caught by the patrol. By the way, the water room is in the Next door to the bathhouse, remember to fetch water."
"Understood, thank you uncle."
The two returned to C68, Feng Chen rolled over from the bed, just about to pick up Yan Bubu, when he found that he had slipped in from under the bed.
The room, though small, was clean and had obviously never been occupied before.Feng Chen touched the off-white wall, and found that it was made of a special material, which can not only be waterproof and earthquake-resistant, but also effectively cut off hot and cold air.It seems that when the Eastern and Western coalition forces worked together to build the dungeon, they really spent a lot of effort.
There is a small cabinet at the corner of the triangle. Feng Chen took off his backpack and put some items in it. Yan Bubu came over at this moment, squatted down beside him, and held something to his mouth: " Young master, let me eat."
Feng Chen looked down, it was the lollipop.
"Did you not eat?"
Yan Bubu said, "I didn't eat it, I kept it in my hand all the time."
Feng Chen continued to pack his things: "Eat it, I don't like candy."
Yan Bubu just put the candy into his mouth, and after sucking it a few times, he laughed pleasantly: "Ha, it's strawberry flavored."
Feng Chen glanced at him, then suddenly stopped.
"Where's your tooth? When did you lose another tooth?"
Yan Bubu originally had only one gap in his front teeth, but now both of his front teeth have disappeared, and the gap has widened into a hole.
He reached out to touch it, but Feng Chen grabbed his wrist: "Don't touch it randomly, your hands are so dirty."
"When did it drop?" Feng Chen asked.
Yan Bubu pushed his tongue against it, and recalled: "When I was still on it just now, someone grabbed me, I bit him, and it seemed to knock him off."
"What about the teeth?" Feng Chen asked.
Yan Bubu looked at him blankly, and after a while he said, "When you ran with me, I felt something in my mouth, so I swallowed it."
Feng Chen didn't ask about the teeth anymore, he got up and searched for a place to hide the cipher box in the room.
The cipher box cannot always be carried on the body, and it is not safe to put it in the cabinet, but this small house can be seen at a glance, except for the cabinet and the metal bed.
Finally, he thought of a way, found a tape from the tool box, and stuck the cipher box to the innermost place under the bed.As long as others don't go into the house like Yan Bubu to drill the foot of the bed, they won't find the cipher box pasted there.
After putting away the tape roll, Feng Chen took the plastic basin containing the two people's changes of clothes, and said, "Let's go, let's go take a shower."
He walked to the bed and was about to turn over, but found that Yan Bubu was still squatting on the ground, holding the lollipop in his mouth, with a distraught expression on his face.
"Let's go."
Yan Bubu looked at him anxiously: "Master, will I..."
"No, I just swallowed a tooth." Feng Chen knew what he was worried about.
"But……"
"I swallowed it, and I'm still standing here." Feng Chen lied without changing his expression.
Yan Bubu finally showed a relieved expression, and let out a breath: "Let's go, let's take a bath."
He walked to the side of the bed, and was about to get under it, but was blocked by Feng Chen who was sitting on the bed.
Feng Chen looked at him with deep eyes: "Annoyer, what should you call me?"
Just as Yan Bubu was about to speak, he thought of something again, and swallowed the sound of young master, his eyes drifted left and right: "Then, what is it called?"
"What do you say?"
Yan Bubu asked softly, "Yes, is that brother?"
Feng Chen looked at his big eyes that turned back and forth, withdrew his hand and said, "Remember, from now on, call me brother, don't call me young master, even in private, lest you can't change your name."
"Brother, brother..." Yan Bubu murmured twice, then raised his head and smiled at Feng Chen, with crooked eyebrows and eyes: "Okay, brother."
Feng Chen asked again: "When Major General Lin asked you just now, why did you suddenly call me brother?"
"Ah... I just think that if we don't dare to tell the truth in front of them, then we must not tell the truth about anything else." Yan Bubu asked a little nervously, "Did I call it wrong just now?"
"No." Feng Chen affirmed.
Yan Bubu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, I knew."
"Let's go." Feng Chen turned over the bed, and Yan Bubu got under the bed, saw the cryptex box hanging under the bed, and giggled: "Hey, a small beehive in a big beehive."
Turning off the lights and closing the door, the two walked down the empty corridor.The surrounding area was quiet, with no wind or noise from nature, except for the occasional sound of a baby crying from a certain room.
The searchlight beams fell from the dome, sweeping across the ground outside the hive from time to time, reflecting the cold steel supports.
The hive is a large ellipsoid, with the bathhouse at the end of the arc where the view is blocked.Going forward along the gradually curved corridor, you can already see the word bathhouse written on the top of the corridor, but Feng Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks.
On the iron fence in front, there was a bird with a pitch-black body, which looked like a vulture.It merged with the night, if it weren't for the flashing searchlights, it would be invisible at all.
But how could there be a living bird in the dungeon? Could it be a sculpture?
Feng Chen was thinking like this, but the vulture turned his head, and his eyes fell on him and Yan Bubu.
It's actually alive!
It's obviously just a bird, but its gaze is icy cold and piercing. When Feng Chen is stared at by it like this, a strange feeling arises in his heart, as if someone is looking at himself and Yan Bubu through its eyes.
Seeing that he stopped, Yan Bubu also looked forward, then turned back: "Brother, what are you looking at?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Chen felt that Vulture's gaze had changed, became colder, and added a bit of scrutiny.
It can understand Yan Bubu's words.
"It's nothing, the shoelace is loose." Feng Chen said calmly.
"Brother, do you want me to tie it for you?"
"I will do it myself."
Feng Chen put the basin on the ground, knelt down to tie his shoelaces, the vulture fluttered its wings, flew to him and landed.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could catch a glimpse of the vulture's two bony claws. Even though they were so close, Yan Bubu still ignored them, holding the two mouthwash cups in his hand, and muttering: "I'll help my brother get the mouthwash cup, I help my brother get the toothbrush, and I help my brother get the toothpaste..."
Since Feng Chen asked him to change his words just now, he always brought a brother with every sentence.
Feng Chen tied up his shoelaces, picked up the basin as if nothing had happened, and took Yan Bubu's hand: "Let's go, take a shower, and go back to bed after washing."
He walked forward without looking away, turned left into the bathhouse, and did not look at the vulture in the process.After entering the bathhouse, there was the sound of fluttering wings outside, and the vulture should have flown away.
The men's bathroom is large, but not very brightly lit, a row of small cubicles, each with a plastic curtain hanging in front of it.
Feng Chen let Yan Bubu into a room, turned on the hot water nozzle for him, and went to the next door by himself.The basin containing the shower gel is placed at the junction of the two rooms, so that both of them can reach for it.
He hadn't taken such a hot bath for a long time. He raised his head and closed his eyes, letting the hot water wash over his body, but he was thinking about the scene just now.
Adai's snakes, black lions, vultures, and Yan Bubu couldn't see it, there was no doubt about it.
The key is whether other people can see it?Is this Yan Bubu's problem, or his own?
Although he can't ask others, Feng Chen prefers that this is his own problem, otherwise Adai would not have said that at the time.
You and I are of the same kind...
similar……
"Brother." Yan Bubu suddenly said, interrupting Feng Chen's thoughts.
"how?"
"It's okay, I just called you."
Feng Chen squeezed a ball of shower gel on his body, and continued to ponder: How did these weird animals appear?The black lion disappeared after rescuing him and never appeared again. Can we still see it?
"Brother." Yan Bubu called him again from the next door.
Feng Chen didn't want to talk to him this time, so he didn't make a sound.
"Brother, brother." Yan Bubu began to call him repeatedly, and his voice gradually became tense.
Feng Chen got impatient with being called, and was about to reply when he heard pattering footsteps, Yan Bubu had already run over from the next door.
A corner of the plastic curtain at the door of the cubicle was lifted by a small hand full of foam, Feng Chen quickly pressed the curtain: "What are you doing?"
"Ah, so you're still here."
Feng Chen asked angrily: "Where can I go if I'm not here? Go back to the side."
Yan Bubu stood outside without moving, and he didn't let go of the hand holding the curtain.
"What are you doing standing outside? It's only been a few minutes, have you finished your shower yet?" Feng Chen frowned.
Yan Bubu's cautious voice sounded: "Brother, that, can I take a bath with you?"
"No."
"I'll rub your back."
"unnecessary!"
Yan Bubu rolled his eyes: "I don't occupy much space, just stand in a corner."
"no!"
"But, but..."
"I told you I won't go."
"No, hey, anyway, I'm scared, let me in." Yan Bubu began to forcefully drill in.
Feng Chen hadn't bathed with anyone since he could remember, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it.But Yan Bubu's body was full of foam, and he was as slippery as a fish, almost slipping in through the gap in the curtain.
"All right, all right, go back and take a shower, call me whatever you want, no matter how many times you call, I will agree." Feng Chen could only say in a flustered manner.
Yan Bubu then went back to the next door.
In the empty public men's bathhouse, the voices of the two continued to echo.
"elder brother."
"Ah."
"Brother, do you think soap smells better, or shower gel?"
"Ah."
"A lot of bubbles, hahaha."
"Ah."
"This lollipop is delicious."
"Hmm...you haven't finished eating yet? Are you still eating while taking a bath?"
"Yeah, I can't bear to bite into pieces."
Feng Chen was silent for a moment, and asked, "Didn't you taste the soapy water washed down from your head?"
Yan Bubu said, "I tasted a little bit, it was bitter."
Feng Chen immediately raised his hand and patted the partition wall, and said sharply: "Either throw away the candy, or eat it right away, brush your teeth after eating, and continue to take a bath."
"understood."
There was the sound of crunching and chewing sugar next door.
After taking a shower, Yan Bubu changed into a new set of clothes brought out from the fashion city, a yellow T-shirt and overalls.Feng Chen also wore a new set, with a gray T-shirt on his upper body and black trousers underneath.
While Yan Bubu was full of praise for the Binunu pattern on his chest, Feng Chen threw the dirty clothes that the two of them had changed into the basin and carried them to the laundry table outside.
The water room was still empty, except that there were four huge wind wheels embedded on the wall behind the washing table, making a humming sound.
A few iron wires were pulled in front of the wind wheel, and a dozen pieces of clothes were hung on it, which seemed to have been dried, and were shaken from side to side by the air current.
Feng Chen put washing powder in the basin and started to wash clothes.His hair was a little longer, and a few strands were wet over his eyes, which weakened the indifference of his body and made him a little softer.
"Brother, how can I let you do the laundry? I am serving you, let me do the laundry." Yan Bubu exclaimed with an exaggerated expression, and began to roll up his sleeves.
Feng Chen rubbed his clothes vigorously, pursed his lips and said nothing, and didn't even look at him.
Yan Bubu observed his expression, and moved closer: "I don't know how to wash now, but I will definitely do it in the future. Let me serve you in the future, okay?"
Feng Chen put the rubbed T-shirt under the faucet, picked up a pair of pants and started rubbing.
——It was a pair of dark blue boy's overalls, and the trouser legs were covered with mud.
"Brother, I like you so much, why are you so nice?" Yan Bubu was full of flattery, and his voice was as soft as honey.
Feng Chen, who was expressionless at first, suddenly frowned, and raised his elbow to push him away: "Shut up, I'm so numb, if you say another word, I'll wash these clothes by myself."
Yan Bubu closed his mouth awkwardly, and began to look around the room, his eyes fell on the four wind wheels above the wall, and he couldn't help being curious.
"Brother, is that an electric fan?"
"no."
Yan Bubu asked: "What is that?"
"Air displacer, if there is no such device in the dungeon, there will be no fresh air."
Feng Chen also looked back at the row of air displacers on the wall.
The scale of the underground city is huge, and these four air displacers alone are definitely not enough. They must have been installed in many places, and then use common pipes to continuously input fresh air into the underground city.
Feng Chen continued to wash clothes, Yan Bubu only stared at the four wind wheels.
The fan blades rotated rapidly, and from the edge, one could see the darkness inside. It seemed that there was some kind of unknown danger dormant in the depths of the extreme darkness.
Yan Bubu suddenly felt frightened, a chill ran up his back, he quickly turned his eyes away, and grabbed Feng Chen who was beside him.
After Feng Chen finished washing his clothes, he wrung them dry and shook them loose, and hung them on the wire in front of the wind wheel. There is a circulating air flow here, and he can come to collect the clothes tomorrow morning.
Yan Bubu was a little afraid of the wind wheel and didn't dare to get close, but he was also afraid that Feng Chen would be swept in by the wind, so he followed behind, grasping the hem of his clothes with both hands, and bound his feet into a horse stance on the ground.
"Let go, my clothes are all deformed by you." Feng Chen put a pair of trousers on the wire and shouted in a low voice.
But Yan Bubu didn't let go: "Just grab it for a while, just a while."
Feng Chen had no choice but to hang Yan Bubu behind him in this posture of tightening his clothes, and finish drying all the clothes.
It was getting late, Feng Chen boiled a pot of water on the water boiler next to him, and the two returned to room C68.
Although there is only one single bed in the room, it can completely sleep the two of them.The single bed was covered with gray sheets, but there was no quilt. Fortunately, Feng Chen also brought the blankets from the minibus school bus, pulled them out of his backpack, and shared one with Yan Bubu.
Although the bed was a bit hard, Yan Bubu hadn't slept in it for a long time, so he quickly stripped himself down to a pair of underpants, wrapped him in a blanket, and tossed and turned excitedly.
Holding two lunch boxes, Feng Chen poured the boiling water back and forth. When the water cooled down, he handed one to Yan Bubu: "Drink some water."
"Ah, drink water...forget it, I won't drink it." Yan Bubu shook his head.
Feng Chen drank by himself, but seeing Yan Bubu was staring at him, he handed over another lunch box again.
Yan Bubu hesitated, licked his dry mouth with his tongue, sat up, took the lunch box, and began to drink water.
After he finished drinking, Feng Chen put away the empty lunch box, turned off the light with a snap, and lay down beside him.
There were no windows in this room, and it was pitch black after the lights were turned off, only a small ventilation device on the side wall, which quietly blows the wind in.
Feng Chen closed his eyes, folded his hands in front of his chest, Yan Bubu stretched out a foot from the blanket, and placed it on his lap.
Feng Chen picked up the foot, threw it away, withdrew his hand and continued to sleep.
After a while, Yan Bubu stretched out his hand again, placed it on the back of his hand, and gently scratched the back of his hand.
"Sleep well, can't you?" Feng Chen shouted unbearably.
Yan Bubu whispered, "Brother, please pinch my ears."
"Why are you pinching your ears?"
Yan Bubu said: "When I was sleeping, my mother would pinch my ears, otherwise I would not be able to sleep."
Feng Chen was silent for a moment: "I haven't pinched your ears for a while, and I think you slept soundly."
Yan Bubu said: "That's because we didn't sleep together. If we sleep together, I won't be able to sleep if you don't pinch my ears."
Feng Chen threw his hand away: "Sleep quickly, if you move around again, you will go to sleep on the ground."
His cold deterrence took effect, Yan Bubu withdrew his hand, began to sleep peacefully, and soon started snoring.
Drowsiness flooded in like a tide, Feng Chen put away his chaotic thoughts and fell asleep.
……
When Feng Chen opened his eyes in his sleep and found himself in that snowy field again, he was not at all surprised.He stood up calmly and walked straight to the big silkworm cocoon in the snow.
Before he got close, he saw the black shadow inside through the frosted glass-like cocoon shell.
The outline of the black shadow was clearer than the last time I saw it, clearly showing the body and head, and...the curled paws and the tail behind.
Feng Chen stepped forward and found that the cocoon shell was covered with fine lines, like a chick gently pecking with a sharp beak, pecking out cracks on the eggshell.
He covered the slightly elastic shell with his hands, stared at the black shadow inside, and moved his gaze along the outline.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
——This black shadow looks like the black lion that once caught him in the air.
The pulsation from under the eggshell was stronger than ever, beating with his heart.He closed his eyes and felt it quietly. He could feel that the black lion was dormant, like self-regulation after exhaustion.
Could it be that the black lion hadn't fully grown, and the reason why it was able to catch him in the air when he fell was because it broke through the restraint at that moment, and now it has returned to the cocoon, and it needs a period of growth and repair?
Feng Chen looked at one of the thickest cracks, wanting to peel off the cocoon shell and take a look at the situation inside, but just after this consciousness was formed, there was a buzzing sound in his head, as if being hit hard by a dull hammer, Suddenly the sky and the earth spin...
Feng Chen opened his eyes suddenly, it was pitch black, and there was still a buzzing sound in his ears.
He stretched out his hand to grope around, touched a small warm body, and then slowly came back to his senses, remembering that he was still sleeping in the beehive room, with Yan Bubu lying next to him.
And the big silkworm cocoon just now, and the black lion inside the silkworm cocoon, seemed to be just a dream.
But Feng Chen knew that this was not a dream, the black lion must exist in his body in some form, and was sleeping quietly.
Where would that be?
He touched his chest, impossible.Touch the abdomen again, it doesn't look like it.
Finally, when his fingers rested on his forehead, he paused.
...could it be here?
There was a noise coming from nowhere, like a couple arguing, accompanied by loud bang bang bang bang.Soon there were footsteps in the corridor, and a team of Western Union troops kicked open a certain door, and the noise stopped abruptly.
The surroundings became quiet again, and the night was as thick as magma that could not be melted. Feng Chen withdrew his fingers touching his forehead, blinked his eyes blankly, and suddenly couldn't tell the difference between the snowy land just now and the dark night in front of him. Which one is real.
"...Eat another one." Yan Bubu turned over suddenly, and buried his head in Feng Chen's arms while talking.
Feng Chen felt his warm breath on the side of his neck, and only then did he have a sense of reality, so he didn't push him away, just hugging each other, closed his eyes and began to sleep.
The next day, Feng Chen woke up early as usual, but Yan Bubu was still asleep with his hands and feet wrapped around him.
He pushed Yan Bubu away, got up amidst his dissatisfied grunts, went to the washing table to wash his mouth and face, and then put away the dried clothes.
When he came back, Yan Bubu had already adjusted his sleeping position, with his hands at his sides, lying down neatly, his face was covered by a blanket, and only his unkempt curly hair was exposed from above.
Feng Chen stretched out his hand to pull the blanket, but suddenly he raised his hand and pressed the towel tightly.
"What are you doing? Wake up and not get up?" Feng Chen asked.
Yan Bubu pressed the blanket and said nothing.
Feng Chen looked at the time, it was seven o'clock, and it was almost time for breakfast as Wu You said, so he pushed him: "Don't hold back, get up and get ready for breakfast."
Yan Bubu's head was shaking from side to side under the blanket, and a muffled voice came out: "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."
Neither of them had a serious meal yesterday, so how could they not be hungry?Feng Chen suspected that Yan Bubu was sick, so he stretched out his hand to touch his exposed forehead, feeling that the temperature under his palm was normal.
In the silence, there were two cooing sounds, it was Yan Bubu's stomach growling.
"Get up." Feng Chen ordered.
"I don't get up, I don't eat."
Feng Chen looked at him silently for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hand to tear off the blanket, Yan Bubu reached out to grab it, but it was in vain.
He suddenly raised his eyes to look at Feng Chen, those eyes were full of nervousness and panic.
Feng Chen asked coldly: "Why don't you get up? Are you getting angry again?"
Yan Bubu pursed his lips, as if he was talking about something, but the sound was like a mosquito humming, Feng Chen couldn't catch a word.
"Now is not the past, nor is it at home. We are fleeing, and no one will get used to your getting up."
As soon as Feng Chen finished saying this sentence, he saw Yan Bubu's expression became aggrieved, and his mouth puckered twice.
"What do you want to do?" Feng Chen asked alertly.
Yan Bubu looked at him without blinking, and the watery light flickered in those big eyes.
not good!
Feng Chen's heart shuddered, and he swallowed the rest of the unfinished training.
When he was at home, Yan Bubu would cry whenever he saw the sky, even if he closed the doors and windows tightly, the sharp magic sound would come in, continuous and lingering, very frightening.
Seeing that he seemed about to cry again, Feng Chen shouted in a low voice as if facing an enemy: "Don't cry."
If he didn't say this, Yan Bubu might have held back, but as soon as he uttered this low drink, Yan Bubu's tears immediately rolled down from the corners of his eyes, and at the same time he closed his eyes and opened his mouth.
Fortunately, he didn't cry loudly, only whimpered in a low tone, but even so, Feng Chen's scalp became tense, and he quickly sat on the side of the bed.
"If you have something to say, don't cry, hold back all the sadness."
Yan Bubu gasped and said, "Brother, brother, I didn't, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it."
How could Feng Chen dare to provoke him at this time: "All right, all right, if you don't want to get up, just lie down and don't cry."
"I, I don't want to, I want to lie down, I don't want to get up, I am, I am..."
Feng Chen sensed that something was wrong, so he asked softly, "What's wrong with you? Tell me."
After a while, Yan Bubu said, "I, urinated again, and wet the bed."
Feng Chen was stunned, and opened the blanket, and saw that Yan Bubu's underpants were already wet, and the bed sheet underneath was also soaked.
"I thought, I wanted to get up, but, I peed." Yan Bubu twitched, "I shouldn't, I shouldn't drink water before going to bed, I was wrong, I shouldn't be six years old and still wet the bed. "
Only then did Feng Chen come back to his senses: "It's okay, it's okay."
"No, all right?" Yan Bubu looked at him tearfully.
"It's really fine." Feng Chen confirmed in a deep voice.
Compared with Yan Bubu's crying, bedwetting is really not a big deal.
Yan Bubu was a little stunned, but immediately stopped crying.
Feng Chen went to the cabinet to search for clean underwear, Yan Bubu stood up and stripped himself naked, like a shelled peanut.
When Feng Chen handed over the underwear, Yan Bubu was about to sit down and wear it, Feng Chen pulled him to the side of the bed: "Sit here."
The center of the bed was already wet with urine, and I couldn't sit on it.
Although Yan Bubu still had tears on his face, he couldn't put it down touching the pattern on his underwear: "Hey, there are little yellow ducks on these little pants, so pretty."
There are a few circles of fat piled up on his belly, the navel is almost invisible, Feng Chen urged: "Put it on quickly, don't keep looking there."
After Yan Bubu put on his underwear, he happily looked at his T-shirt: "Binunu..."
"Hurry up!"
Yan Bubu put the T-shirt on his head, Feng Chen said, "It's the wrong way."
He changed the direction of the T-shirt, but his head was stuck at the neckline again. Feng Chen stretched out his hand impatiently and pulled the T-shirt down, causing his body to shake back and forth, without showing his head.
"Brother, my ear hurts." Yan Bubu covered his head under his clothes and said in a low voice.
It was only then that Feng Chen discovered that there were two buttons on the right shoulder of his T-shirt, so he quickly unbuttoned it and loosened the collar.
Yan Bubu's head poked out, the messy curly hair on his head was more fluffy, and with those round eyes, he looked like a poodle.
After he put on the overalls slowly, Feng Chen couldn't stand the speed, so he simply squatted down and put socks on his feet.
From this angle, Yan Bubu could only see his slightly frowning brows, so he called softly, "Brother."
Feng Chen ignored him, and only patted his fleshy instep: "Lift up."
Yan Bubu raised his feet and said, "When will I grow up? I can serve you when I grow up."
No matter how restrained Feng Chen was, he really couldn't hold back, and snorted with a sneer.
When Yan Bubu woke up, Feng Chen took off the sheets, took the basin and washing powder to the water room, they had only one sheet, they had to wash it quickly and dry it before going to sleep.
Yan Bubu followed behind with a mouthwash cup, looking around curiously.
The hive in the morning is very lively, people come and go in the aisle, and a few grandparents are dancing with fans to the music played on their mobile phones.In the open door next to it, a young girl was sitting on the head of the bed, putting on makeup in front of the small round mirror on the cabinet, and a shirtless man was doing push-ups on the open space of the room for exercise.
Yan Bubu has lived in a villa since he was a child, and he has never seen such a scene, and thinks it is fresh and fun.
There were quite a few people in the water room, but they were all turning on the water or brushing their teeth and washing their faces. There was no one at the laundry counter.
Feng Chen put the basin on the laundry table, looked down at the sheets in the basin with a complicated expression.
He maintained this posture for several minutes, as if he had prepared himself mentally, and slowly raised his hand.
But the hand was hanging over the basin, after a moment of hesitation, it was finally retracted.
Yan Bubu was brushing his teeth by the sink, so guilty that he didn't dare to look at him.
Feng Chen turned on the faucet and kept flushing the sheets in the basin. After several minutes of flushing, he poured the washing powder in, and then turned his head to call Yan Bubu: "Come here."
Yan Bubu walked over obediently.
Feng Chen said, "Put your fingers in and stir left and right."
"How to stir?" Yan Bubu asked blankly.
Feng Chen said: "Have you ever seen a washing machine washing clothes? You are now a washing machine, stir a few times to the left, then a few times to the right."
Yan Bubu understood, so he handed the mouthwash cup to Feng Chen, stepped on his feet, and reached out to stir the sheets.
"Wait." Feng Chen stopped him again, rolled up his sleeves, and then said: "Come on."
Yan Bubu turned into a washing machine, put his hands into the basin, and stirred the sheets carefully, humming in his mouth.
Out of the corner of Feng Chen's eyes, he saw someone watching them, so he said in a low voice, "Don't make a sound."
"Pause." Yan Bubu pressed his forehead with the other hand, raised his head and said, "If you keep silent, the power is cut off. The washing machine cannot wash clothes even if the power is cut off. No way."
After he finished speaking, he pressed his forehead again, his mouth continued to hum, and he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the role of the washing machine.
The movement he made caused those who were brushing their teeth and washing their faces to look over.Feng Chen felt that his cheeks were a little hot, so he also pressed on Yan Bubu's forehead, and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "Mute."
Sure enough, Yan Bubu became quiet and began to stir the sheets silently.
Feng Chen didn't let him stir for a long time, and felt that it was almost done, so he drove the person to the side, picked up the basin to flush and change the water, poured in the washing powder again, and washed it a second time by himself.
