Chapter 384 383. Sleeping together [two-in-one]
The lower level of the trunk compartment was now tidied up by Zhou Qian, and there were far fewer things. A small camp bed was placed on one side, and next to it was a tree cocoon that had just been moved in.
Without the soil, its fibrous roots are intertwined like lifeless plastic threads. To anyone looking at it, it looks like a giant toy rather than something that can save lives.
Lin Xuefeng walked in, reached out and touched the cool tree cocoon, then looked at Huai Yu: "Xiaoyu, will you sleep here?"
These milky white fibrous roots are flexible and elastic, making it much more comfortable to sleep on than a camp bed. Even if it is not used to heal injuries, the slightly arc angle inside can make people feel wrapped in all directions, giving them a sense of security.
At least when Lin Xuefeng woke up, she felt very at peace when she saw the face of Huaiyu kneeling on the edge.
Huaiyu nodded and lay down directly. Lin Xuefeng also asked: "Do you want to cover yourself with a quilt?"
Huaiyu thought for a while: "It actually doesn't feel cold inside, it's very comfortable."
This time it was Lin Xuefeng's turn to sit on the edge of the tree cocoon, and then reached out to cover her eyes: "Since you feel comfortable, then take a nap, I will stay here with you."
Huaiyu's eyelashes trembled in his palm. After a moment, she closed her eyes and stopped moving, but her breathing did not change. After a while, she put her hand on the back of Lin Xuefeng's hand, and her eyelashes trembled again.
Lin Xuefeng did not refuse, but asked again after a while: "Can't you sleep?"
He retracted his hand, and Huaiyu also let go of his hand. He looked at him in the dim tree cocoon, his voice a little depressed: "Yeah."
She had slept well, but when she was awake she could not summon up her energy. Her eyelids were heavy and her whole body was tired. It was difficult to fall asleep when she lay down, as if the people around her would leave at any time, which made her very uneasy.
Even though she pressed Lin Xuefeng's palm, when she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with the loneliness that no one could respond to along the way.
Huaiyu sighed and climbed out again.
"Forget it! If you can't sleep, let's get up and talk."
Lin Xuefeng didn't speak, just looked at her quietly for a while.
When Huaiyu looked over in confusion, he simply lay down in the tree cocoon, then turned sideways and stretched out his arms: "Xiaoyu."
"Huh?"
"Come here to sleep. I will always be with you and I will never let you be alone again."
The space in the tree cocoon was very spacious, and Lin Xuefeng's sideways position was also attracting her. Huaiyu looked at it seriously, but also hesitated seriously: "Isn't this bad? Brother Zhou Qian is going to be angry."
"It doesn't matter." Lin Xuefeng still maintained the movement of reaching out: "I will tell him not to be angry. Nothing is more important than making you happy, come and lie down."
Huaiyu no longer hesitated, turned over and lay down directly, and was hugged tightly by Lin Xuefeng.
This feeling of intimate embrace makes people feel very happy, and Huaiyu can't help but get closer.
His fingers were slightly cold, but his body was warm. One arm was pillowed by Huaiyu, making it slightly stiff. The other one hugged her back tightly. Her ear was close to his chest, and she could clearly feel the rough fabric of the coat and the heart beating hard inside.
The body heat of the two people intertwined, creating a world where no one would be disturbed in the small space of the tree cocoon.
Huaiyu raised her eyelids and wanted to say something, but as soon as she raised her eyelids, she felt heavy, so she closed them slightly again, and only had time to call him: "Lin Xuefeng..."
Then the breathing gradually calmed down.
Lin Xuefeng touched her hair and replied in a low voice: "I'm here."
Zhou Qian, who was in the driver's seat, inadvertently turned on the camera and took a look, and immediately stepped on the brakes!
Where the camera is facing, there is no one on the camp bed, but in the tree cocoon, the two of them sleep tightly together without taking off their coats. One is tall and the other is short, one is large and the other is small, harmonious and intimate.
He stared at the screen speechless, but Lin Xuefeng opened his eyes at this moment and looked at him through the camera.
At this moment, Zhou Qian suddenly felt a creepy feeling in his heart, and his whole body's nerves seemed to be stiff.
But after a moment, Lin Xuefeng had withdrawn his gaze, touched Huaiyu's hair as if nothing had happened, and closed his eyes again.
Zhou Qian: "..."
Confirmed!
These two people, even though one is a guard officer and the other has been in love, in fact, they don’t have any common sense about the differences between men and women in life! He had to talk to them when they woke up!
As for whether Lin Xuefeng has any thoughts about Xiaoyu...
joke!
In Zhou Qian's heart, Xiaoyu has always been the poor little girl who crawled out of the tunnel in the middle of the night. She is only a teenager and pitifully thin. What normal man would have feelings for a girl like this?
impossible.
There is no way this is possible.
But I’m still so angry!
He held the steering wheel and was as angry as a frog at this moment.
……
Huaiyu fell asleep for a long time again. When he woke up, he was confused and didn't know what night it was.
However, before she could figure it out, she heard the car door click. It was also dark twilight outside, and Zhou Qian's figure emerged from the night. With his equally dark face, it felt a bit oppressive.
At least Huaiyu blinked and felt that his mind was clearer.
The next moment, I saw him standing at the door of the car gnashing his teeth: "Why don't you get up?"
Huaiyu: "..."
"Aren't I just getting up... Huh?" She looked at the arms wrapped around her back, and then looked up at the person beside her: "Ah! I just said it feels so warm when you fall asleep! Lin Xuefeng, are your arms pressed? Numb..."
"No."
Seeing Huaiyu turn over and sit up, Lin Xuefeng also came out of the tree cocoon. At this moment, looking at Zhou Qian who was glaring at him with a dark face, he straightened his clothes, and then looked at Huaiyu who was slowly waking up. He whispered to him: "Xiaoyu can't sleep alone now."
Zhou Qian's anger subsided instantly.
Instead, there was pity and guilt.
If he hadn't been so incompetent, how could he have let Xiao Yu stay alone in the wilderness for so long? Although she has a high wood affinity, there are other mutated creatures in the wasteland, which makes a person nervous when sleeping alone at night.
Now she doesn't dare to sleep alone, probably because of the hardship she suffered in the past.
He sighed, and now looked at Huaiyu who came out of the tree cocoon, and reminded: "Then you two can hold hands, what will it be like sleeping together? You can't do this next time, she has grown up I want to start a family.”
Lin Xuefeng pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "I will try my best."
He turned around and looked at Huai Yu, and asked considerately: "Are you cold when you first woke up? I should have let you take off your coat to sleep."
Huaiyu shook her head. She felt limp all over after sleeping for too long, and she was not very energetic when speaking at the moment: "Brother Zhou Qian, have we reached our destination?" Zhou Qian said "hmm".
In fact, he arrived half an hour ago, but when he looked at the surveillance camera, he found that Xiaoyu was still sleeping soundly, so he held his breath while resisting waking her up.
When he saw her open her eyes, he immediately got out of the car and rushed over.
But now it goes without saying. It's pitiful that she doesn't dare to sleep alone. Let's wait until she gets home to think about how to pull a wire over?
Apart from anything else, it would be much better to install a night light.
Huaiyu walked out of the carriage.
This is still an unfamiliar forest, with the surrounding twilight deep and only vague outlines visible. Zhou Qian parked the car in the middle of an open space and was getting out of the car with his eldest and second cubs in his arms.
"Xiaoyu, what should we eat tonight?"
Huaiyu thought for a while: "Let's eat something lighter...vegetable and minced meat porridge, scallion egg pancake rolled with spicy and sour potato shreds? Then make braised pork ribs, soak the fish pieces in water, and stew at noon tomorrow."
The hybrid wild boar that Zhou Qian shot before had a lighter smell than other wild boars, but it was not gone. Therefore, if he wanted to make it delicious, he had to use heavy ingredients.
Zhou Qian naturally had no objection. At this moment, he saw that Big Zai and Er Zai had started to poke the tree spontaneously, and he couldn't help but said: "Big Zai, Er Zai, pick the dead branches over there. We don't want the fresh trees. The fresh ones can't be burned in a long time, and the smoke Very angry.”
"Gah ah ah..."
The eldest cub and the second cub stepped forward on the soles of their feet, their round buttocks swaying, and the layers of spikes on their heads softened the color in the dusk.
Lin Xuefeng had already started walking around, and he could detect various mutated creatures ready to move in the forest, some big, some small, some weak, some strong. But now he is no longer a guard officer with important responsibilities. These mutated creatures have limited strength and are not insurmountable. The guards must practice more.
Therefore, he withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention.
Just thinking about it, he walked to a small slope with exposed rocks. At this moment, he pressed his palm on the dusty ground. The subtle undercurrent surging deep in the ground gradually began to tremble, and then was slowly attracted by him from the gap. Come up.
Zhou Qian saw it from a distance and couldn't help but said: "There is still a lot of water in our water storage tank. Don't use your powers. I will find a water source and replenish it at noon tomorrow."
The water-type ability draws out the surrounding water vapor, not something created out of nothing.
Lin Xuefeng shook his head: "I haven't seen any water source after driving for several hours. If one day someone comes to the depths, I can lead a water vein here, maybe it can solve their urgent need."
The groundwater he led out was small and weak, but because it was located on a rocky slope, it quickly gurgled downwards along the cracks in the rocks, and then slowly gathered in the low-lying areas.
not much.
But looking at this terrain, it can always slowly gather into a small shallow pool. If the latecomers have earth-type powers, they can deepen and enlarge the pool and level the soil, then this water source will truly take shape.
Zhou Qian took a look and suddenly understood why so many people admired Lin Xuefeng, but Xiaoyu had no reservations about him.
There is such a person who is born with such charisma. Every move makes people feel that they are worthy of him.
Thinking of this, the depressed mood in the afternoon suddenly disappeared. Even he had full trust in Lin Xuefeng. Huaiyu and he had a mutual affection, so it was normal for him to rely on him a little.
Thinking of this, he took the initiative to say hello: "I'm going to light the fire on the stove now. When you finish your work later, help me get some of the frozen ribs cut on the top."
Lin Xuefeng was slightly surprised, but soon the corners of his brows and eyes relaxed, knowing that this represented Zhou Qian's attitude.
He then responded: "Okay."
Huaiyu happened to come out of the forest. When he heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Brother Zhou Qian, Lin Xuefeng hasn't recovered yet. It's too dangerous for him to climb up and down. I'll go get it."
The depression that Zhou Qian had just dispersed came back again.
But fortunately, Huaiyu came over quickly, and squatted next to him closely to watch him build the stove: "Brother Zhou Qian, I am scared and lonely alone in the wilderness. You are also here alone, thinking about me, but you can't Isn’t it sad and hard to leave? ”
This little bastard.
How could Zhou Qian be so angry?
He only felt his eyes flush for a moment, and finally he just smiled and sighed: "We all worked hard. But, Xiaoyu, do you think the hard work is worth it?"
Huaiyu looked at Lin Xuefeng, who was smiling from a distance away, and nodded heavily.
"That's OK."
Zhou Qian set up the pot and saw that Huaiyu had started to put away the dishes neatly. Then he smiled heartily and said: "It's worth it."
"Look at how good we are now."
Huaiyu also had crooked eyebrows and took out a plump and dry melon seed at this moment: "Brother Zhou Qian, do you want to plant a landmark here?"
Zhou Qian paused: "Just plant it!"
Although it will increase the risk of exposure to a certain extent, the wilderness is so large. Sooner or later, those ripe sunflower seeds will be eaten and taken away by birds, and then grown elsewhere, which can somewhat confuse the view.
What's more, with the current progress of wilderness exploration, it will take about two years for the garrison to arrive here. During this period, if someone is living in the depths of the wilderness, this sunflower can not only serve as a landmark, but it can also be their food ration.
Just like Lin Xuefeng casually led to the gurgling water, it was just a matter of convenience.
The eldest cub and the second cub were strolling around and soon dug out a pile of firewood.
And when the flames burned, the three of them stared at the orange-red flames, feeling a silent sense of belonging at this moment. Even Lin Xuefeng couldn't help but ask: "Xiaoyu, what does your new home look like now?"< br>
Huaiyu thought for a while: "It's a lot bigger than my previous tree house. If the three of us live together, should we ask Liang Zhu, a sister from the construction department, to help us build a new house? Huh?”
"Sister Liang Zhu is very capable. Although she said she is not suitable for the battlefield, the house she built for Brother Zhou Qian is strong and fast, and she can also dig a well!"
The idea was quite good, but Zhou Qian asked her: "Xiaoyu, did you forget that we live in Rose Corridor?"
Who would risk their lives to build a house here? When Liang Zhu built him a house, even if it was the outermost building next to the roadside, everyone was still frightened and just wanted a quick solution.
Huaiyu:......
However, Lin Xuefeng pondered for a moment: "The land in the Rose Corridor is wide and flat. If we prepare in advance, I can put up water curtains around it to block the construction workers' sight."
"You only need to bring people in through the water curtain. You can build any house within the enclosed area."
He still remembered the small tree house that appeared just a stone's throw away from the Rose Corridor on that rainy night, and even remembered that there was a small pond there.
"If possible, I can even make the pond bigger and deeper. Then I will build a waterwheel to connect to the hydroelectric power generation device..."
He paused for a moment: "Xiaoyu, is there electricity at home?"
Coming! Good night in advance. I went out to meet my sisters! It takes a while to transfer between high-speed rail trains, so don’t be nervous when you’re on vacation these days! Come back after the meeting!
