Chapter 157 Northbound (2)
Chapter 157: Going north (2)
The rain was very fast and very heavy, and the raindrops were almost connected in a line.
Seeing the black shadow getting closer, Mu Bai was also hesitating whether to take the initiative.
It is obvious that if he waits for the other party to get close before taking action, he will suffer a little. The environment in the shed is not a suitable opponent for fighting.
"drink."
Mu Bai exhaled and said, accompanying his voice, the man rushed out like an arrow.
"Squeak-Squeak."
The big fist was only an inch away from the target, and Mu Bai couldn't help but look at the person in front of him in surprise.
The visitor was wearing a wide raincoat, which looked square. Under the cover of the heavy rain, he looked at it from a distance, and there was still a trace of insects.
The most important thing is that at first, Yang Fan and Mu Bai did not expect that in such a harsh environment, someone would move forward in the rain.
That kid must have done it on purpose.
His chest was a little stuffy, but he used a lot of force just now, and suddenly stopped, and he was inevitably a little embarrassed.
Mu Bai glanced at Yang Fan with a angrily look on his face, and intuition told him that the other party must have seen something long ago.
After such a big misunderstanding, Mu Bai was embarrassed to say something, shook his head and turned around and walked into the house.
Tat.
The man seemed to have woken up from the incident just now and quickly followed him. Because the rain hat on his head covered his entire face, no one knew what expression the person inside had.
"Young Master, you are too unkind. Since you have known that there is no danger, it's better to say it." Mu Bai complained to Yang Fan while thinking about what to explain, and he had to give the man an explanation.
Yang Fan smiled and turned his head behind Mu Bai. The person who came took off his head cover after entering the house.
This is a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a sickly white face and a prominent forehead bone. She obviously has been in a semi-hungry state for a long time.
Seeing two strong men sitting cross-legged in the house, the little girl was obviously a little scared and slowly walked to a place close to the corner and squatted down.
"Ahem, I was really embarrassed just now. I thought it was a bug. You said, it was raining so heavily, and you, a big girl, ran around everywhere."
Although Mu Bai's face is not handsome, it is definitely not ferocious. It's just that his body shape, which is comparable to a fitness coach, is too shocking, so the little girl just looks at the other person with a cautious look.
Looking at this situation, Mu Bai coughed twice, but it was hard to continue talking.
"Yaya, are you cold?"
After the little girl took off the raincoat, the other people in the house discovered that behind the girl there was a younger girl carrying her back. Mu Bai couldn't see her so bloated. Behind her, the little girl's round and big black eyes looked at the other people in the house curiously, not recognizing her at all.
"Sister, Yaya is not cold."
Compared with her sister, Yaya looks much healthier. Although her voice still has a slight sensibility, it also has a bit of sensibility.
"Gu——" A not too loud belly rumbling sound came from the little sister.
"Be good, after you get the things back, I will make food for you."
"kindness."
After the little girl made a seat cushion for her sister with miscellaneous items, she began to get busy. She ran into it and pushed a fuel tank half as big as hers and walked out for a long time.
Just these few short steps made the little girl panting.
Yang Fan and Mu Bai quickly guessed what the little girl wanted to do. She pushed the fuel tank to the place where she refueled, tiptoed, and skillfully poured oil into the fuel tank.
"Little girl, if you fill gasoline with such a big fuel tank, how can you get it back?" Although I don't know where the little girl wants to push the fuel tank, I guess it's not too close. With the other party's physical condition that it is so difficult to push an empty tank, how can I fill it up and drag it away?
When the little girl heard this sound, her movement paused for a moment, but then she continued to move.
Mu Bai sighed softly, but did not continue to speak.
"Give it, give it to you."
The little loli didn't know what she thought of, took the roasted sweet potatoes from her hand off the iron fork, trotted all the way to the little girl, and said hard.
The little girl's petite nose twitched vigorously for a few times, and her cute face did not hide her almost drooling expression, but she still kept a sense of reason and shouted: "Sister, there are bad people here, I'll use black things to deceive Yaya."
Hearing his sister's call, the little girl put down what was in her hands at the first time and ran to this side as if she was flying.
He looked vigilantly at the two young men who were posing great threats. The little girl stood in front of her sister like a calf protecting her, staring at the black sweet potatoes roasted in each other's hands.
"I'll give you food." The little loli seemed to try her best to make a smile, but her face was always too stiff. Just looking at the other person's expression, she knew that her performance must be very poor.
The girl's real age should be older than the little loli, but due to long-term malnutrition, she looks a few years younger, which is similar to the latter.
Faced with the kind help of the little loli, the little girl hesitated for a moment, then turned her head and looked at her sister. Her eyes couldn't help but turn red, but she forced herself to not shed tears. "Thank you." She reached out and took the still hot sweet potato. Her hands were cold and she would not take these little heat to heart.
Mu Bai acted as if he wanted to stand up, but was pressed down by Yang Fan beside him and signaled the former to continue watching. Let the little loli handle this matter.
I have always been troubled by the little loli's personality. Today's events may be an opportunity to understand and change her.
"Come on, Yaya, this is roasted sweet potatoes, it's very fragrant, open your mouth."
The little girl carefully peeled off the sweet potato skin and wrapped it with a small piece of blue cloth, then fed the meat inside to her sister's mouth in small pieces.
The sound of "baji" and "baji" quickly came out of the little girl's mouth, and there were some "giggling" laughter intermittently.
Neither the little girl nor the little loli talked a lot, but when feeding her sister, they slowly started some communication.
Most of the time it was the little girl who was talking, and the little loli was just listening quietly.
It turned out that this pair of sisters lost their parents during the first outbreak of insect tide. In the past few months, they have been relying on the support of several uncles to survive. But in this world, who has overnight food, and those relatives also have meals. Therefore, as my sister Mengluo, I often come here to get some gasoline back. When I meet people in need, I can exchange it for some food. No matter how bad it is, it is okay to use it for heating at home.
From Xiao Mengluo's mouth, Yang Fan and his wife knew that this gas station seemed to be the property of her parents before. They couldn't help but sigh that a good home was destroyed by insects. There were countless such incidents all over the world.
At first, the little loli just felt a little like her, so she took the initiative to give her food to her. After listening to Mengluo's words, a sad look couldn't help but appear on her face. She could understand the other person's feelings because she had experienced it herself.
If it weren't for him, maybe his life would be even more miserable than her. The little loli inexplicably glanced at Yang Fan with gratitude. Although the latter was unknown, he still nodded with a smile.
After about two hours, the rain finally stopped, and Yang Fan and others were about to continue on the road.
According to the little loli's meaning, it seemed that she wanted to take them together, but Yang Fan could not agree to this. They had a journey of thousands of miles to the capital, and it was not to go to play. What would it be like to bring two oil bottles to the table?
The jeep started slowly, and the group of three people set off on the road again.
Although she was unable to take the pair of sisters on the road, Yang Fan still pointed out a clear road to the other party when the little loli changed into a pleading expression for the first time. There was a government-built refuge camp ten kilometers south of this place. Xiao Mengluo could take her sister to that place, and the bag of sweet potatoes weighing dozens of kilograms was left as food on the other party's road.
As for what happened next, it was not Yang Fan's expectation, and everything was up to the other party himself.
As the second insect tide subsided, there were more and more cars and pedestrians on the road. Some of the original camps were breached by insects and had to find a new place to live. Some were scared by the north of this insect tide and prepared to seek shelter from a larger city.
However, neither of these two people will run too far. Most of them are in the province or at the junction of two adjacent identities. A car as lonely as Yang Fan wants to travel across several provinces and go directly to the capital. If you say it out, not many people believe it.
Before leaving, Yang Fan was still a little optimistic, thinking that he could reach the capital in at most three days, but in fact, it took Yang Fan and others a total of seven days to enter Hebei.
Many things happened along the way. Although they were not very big things, they delayed the journey very much. As I saw too much, people's hearts gradually became harder. Otherwise, even now, it would be hard to say whether they could complete half of the journey.
The winter in the north is completely different from the south. At this time, the earth is covered with a layer of silver, and it is definitely not a joke to suck the air into ice.
The snow layer was sank into people's knees, and it was not as large as the snow sweeping team before. Getting off the bus and walking became the only option.
Fortunately, the three of them were not afraid of the chills, their physical fitness was far beyond ordinary humans, and they were not too far from the capital. They gritted their teeth and could wash the wind and frost on their bodies in the capital circle in a day later.
