Tang Juan was seriously injured and leaned against the wall. He stared at the campfire in front of him in deep thought.
Yan Xue sat in the corner with her legs in her arms and buried her head in her knees.
Gao Yan and Yan Xue were relatively familiar, so she took a bottle of water and sat beside Yan Xue, “Yan Xue, are you okay? Would you like some water?”
Yan Xue raised her head, her nose was red, and her face was full of tears.
“I…” Yan Xue choked for a long time, her face shrank, and she cried out, “I feel so uncomfortable in my heart.”
Gao Yan, who was accustomed to her cold image, almost couldn’t react.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s a good thing to recognize that scumbag’s true face as early as possible. Jiang Hongcai is not a good man. I saw him, he is not pleasing to the eyes, but you didn’t notice it. Whenever a more beautiful woman appears, his eyes stay on her.” Gao Yan comforted her, “Ah Xue, you are so good, you will definitely meet a better person in the future.”
“I, I have failed for the fifth time.” Yan Xue sobbed, “I thought he was not very good before, but two or three months after the arrival of the demons, he changed and treated me special. He was gentle and considerate. I thought I had found the right man this time, oooooooo.”
“He wanted to take advantage of you, girl. Your eyes have gone bad,” Gao Yan was annoyed. Few people in the base were optimistic about the pair. Only Yan Xue was still in the dark.
“What do you look at when you pick a man?”
“Look… look at their face,” Yan Xue looked up at Gao Yan with red eyes.
She couldn’t help but poke her forehead with her fingers.
Tang Juan leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and hummed a song gently.
His voice was tired and hoarse, without the ethereal shock of the past, but with a soft feeling, and he hummed an English song “Far from home”.
The deep and long singing voice revealed the longing and sadness hidden in the heart of a wandering man.
In his previous life, Tang Juan must have died at this time, and Nanxi Base would soon cease to exist. And Ye Peitian was still suffering in that hellish warehouse at this time, and was about to be discovered by the Shennai Group.
Walking along the road of the previous life, every footprint of Chu Qianxun was one she stepped on the same road, but it caused inexhaustible changes.
The song Tang Juan sang was the one Chu Qianxun heard countless times.
The song was about missing the hometown that one couldn’t return to.
Chu Qianxun in the dream never left her home, but the home in the dream no longer existed in the world.
The apocalypse came, and the home was nowhere to be found.
Chu Qianxun looked at Tang Juan who was leaning against the wall and humming intermittently, and began to miss her family in Ludao.
Ludao was a small island suspended in the sea. After the end, the military effectively controlled the situation there, blew up the channel connecting with the inland, and wiped out the demons on the island, making the residents of the entire island relatively comfortable for a long time.
But because of this excessive comfort, people living on the island lacked effective training of their abilities. When the large demons came across the sea, the island that was generally isolated from the world was instantly reduced to a slaughter place for demons.
Even if she yearned for a peaceful life, Chu Qianxun chose to take this dangerous path instead of staying in her hometown where it was difficult for her ability to grow.
She looked down at her hand. She was not strong enough, but it was already much better than in her previous life. She believed that she would be able to be powerful in the end and protect everyone she wanted to protect and live the days she wanted.
Chu Qianxun looked at her hand, but Ye Peitian was looking at her.
After a while, he stood up and helped Granny Feng to get a bowl of wild amaranth (a type of grain) soup from the crock. He quietly cut his finger, mixed a few drops of blood into the purple vegetable soup, and served it. Tang Juan thanked him in a low voice, took the bowl and drank it.
He frowned, seeming to be surprised by the subtle changes in his body. He laid in the corner and fell asleep.
In the morning of the next day, Ye Peitian and Qi Yongchun went into the forest to collect a lot of ingredients.
When everyone got up one after another, Ye Peitian had already fried a few mountain eggs with leaves in the iron pot in the house.
“It’s so fragrant, what are you cooking?” Gao Yan rubbed her eyes and came to help.
Ye Peitian kept working and hummed absently.
Gao Yan followed his gaze,
Just in the courtyard outside the window, Chu Qianxun and Tang Juan were standing together talking.
“It’s okay, don’t be nervous.” Gao Yan pushed Ye Peitian’s arm and teased, “Doesn’t he just sing well? It’s useless. These days, it’s more practical to cook like you. A pragmatic person like Qianxun will definitely choose you.”
Ye Peitian retracted his gaze, his face flushed, but did not say anything to refute, and immersed himself in making his own food.
“Unexpectedly, you saved my life.” Outside the room, Tang Juan said to Chu Qianxun, “Thank you.”
“What are your plans next?” Chu Qianxun asked, “We plan to go east to Ludao, want to come with us?”
Tang Juan was silent for a while, stretched out his hand to rub the pendant hanging on his neck, his eyes narrowed, and at that moment a cold murderous aura was revealed, and then he smiled. He said with ease, “I won’t go with you, I have something to do.”
Chu Qianxun glanced at him, “Are you planning to take revenge alone?”
“Don’t worry, I finally got my life back. I won’t act recklessly,” Tang Juan turned his face and looked at Yan Xue who was lying on the terrace practising shooting.
As soon as Yan Xue picked up the gun in her hand, she recovered her cold expression like an iceberg.
“Ah Xue is a good girl, I don’t want her to be in a dilemma. She likes girls like you and Gao Yan, let her go with you.”
Tang Juan stretched out his hand and shook Chu Qianxun’s hands. His dignified appearance stood upright for a moment, “I want to say thank you for your great grace, the future will be long, and I hope to see you again, till then goodbye.”
