Chapter 64 Short Memories
They didn't really run all night.
After discovering that the zombie beast behind him was attracted by the python, Xiang En asked them to stop and rest where they were, instead of wandering around.
Xiang En asked Ma Ji to take action to clean up the zombie beasts chasing after him, and then stayed where he was to rest, preferably until tomorrow morning.
After sitting back to back with Andrea, Xiang En had time to think, or to say... cranky.
I thought they were going to run like this all night, but Xiang Endu had already made mental preparations in advance, never thought that the goddess of luck would still be on their side.
However, he looked up at the red moon above his head again, and couldn't help thinking, is this really lucky?
According to the original plan, he should have a non-dangerous adventure with Andrea. After obtaining a lot of life-saving skills and money, he would go to a small lord to buy a piece of land and recruit a few capable and talented people. A maid who can beat spends the rest of her life.
Forget it, Xiang En didn't think about it anymore, it was useless to think about these things, anyway, they couldn't go back to the kind of life they used to have.
The red moon will make zombie beasts and ghouls go berserk, this message, he wrote down.
Andrea, who was leaning against each other's backs with Xiang En, was also in a state of cranky thoughts at this time.
Introverted and autistic people tend to think more than optimistic and cheerful people. After becoming a half-autistic person, Andrea found that she liked to be in a daze more and more, and was also fascinated by the feeling of alcohol paralyzing the brain, as well as the pleasant feeling of OOXX, which could make her forget everything in an instant .
However, since she left the village, she has not escaped from the tension, except for the time in the small town.
It was always either fighting or fleeing.
When approaching Uncle Wright's ranch, Andrea still had some expectations, hoping that she could see someone she knew was still alive.
But all she saw were monsters, horrible and twisted monsters, monsters that could scare a child so much that he lost all language ability at a glance.
Maybe Xiang En couldn't see clearly, but she could see clearly, it was...breathing!
Trembling, trembling incessantly.
The two of them were back to back, and Xiang En was the quickest to notice Andrea's abnormality, and the constant trembling was being transmitted to him through the offset back.
The current temperature is not considered cold. They have been running for so long just now, and their bodies are steaming, so the shivering is not because of the cold, but probably because of fear.
To be honest, it is very rare for Andrea to have such a mentality after switching from the comfortable environment in the academy to the dangerous and terrifying world.
Xiang En wanted to comfort her, turned around and hugged Andrea, pressed her forehead lightly with his cheek, and said softly, "Do you like the feeling of hugging?"
Falling into her reassuring arms, Andrea also relaxed, letting the weight of her body rest on Xiang En.
I didn't think about those decompression things, even if I thought about it, it would be difficult to achieve it in the current environment.
Knowing that she couldn't decompress, Andrea couldn't help but think about the monster she had just seen, as well as the familiar Uncle Wright, and she only responded softly to Xiang En's question, seeming a little absent-minded.
"Um."
It's good to be able to answer the conversation, which means that you haven't held your emotions in your heart, and you haven't been too sad.
Xiang En rubbed Andrea's forehead, and continued to speak: "In the place where I used to live, hugs were not often used to express feelings, but I really like the feeling of hugs, warm, reassuring, and relaxing."
Andrea didn't reply to these words, but just rubbed his head against him, and continued to lie half-lying in a daze.
A tense environment, always a tense environment.
After a long while, the two of them didn't trigger a new conversation. One was that they didn't know what to say, and the other was that they thought they could slow down if they kept doing this.
"When I was a child, my father often took me to Uncle Wright's ranch. I liked to lie on the backs of those sheep, as if floating on the clouds, carefree. I didn't have to think about etiquette lessons, I didn't have to memorize the badges of nobles, let alone Learn how to be a lady..."
After a while, Andrea still couldn't restrain her emotions, and she used memories to relieve the lost feelings.
In her eloquent dictation, Xiang En knew some things about Andrea's childhood, which she rarely mentioned.
Maybe it was the reason Andrea asked about her family affairs last time and was told that she was an orphan, which made her worry?
Willing to vent his emotions in front of him is an advanced level of trust and heart-to-heart expression. Xiang En is very happy that Andrea can say these things and will not feel bored.
In Andrea's description, Uncle Wright is a very cheerful and easy-going person who likes children very much, but he is not married.
He runs a ranch and often fishes in the small lake behind. The fish he catches will be made into fish soup for them to taste at night.
Andrea experienced a lot of interesting things in the ranch, riding various animals, trying to steal eggs from the henhouse, and teasing the sheep with the harvested grass.
Just listening to her description, Xiang En is very envious.
It’s just that she may not be able to experience these things now, all the workers on the ranch have turned into monsters, the bleating sheep are nowhere to be seen, all familiar things are dilapidated, and she can’t even spend the night there,
"I'm homesick..."
Finally, Andrea's memory ends with this sentence.
Xiang En spread a hand and handed the water bag around her waist to her who was a little hoarse.
After receiving the water bag, Andrea took a mouthful of sweet dew, then twisted her body, and handed the water bag to Xiang En's mouth.
Xiang En also took a sip, but he didn't swallow it immediately. He also kept it in his mouth and swallowed it little by little to relieve the dry heat in his throat.
I want to drink water too...
The "forgotten" Maggie pressed the plug of the water bag back into his mouth, glanced at Boss Xiangen not far away, who seemed to be alone, and could only pull a few grasses from the ground and stuff them into his mouth to chew, with the same bitterness as his mood Grass juice to quench thirst.
Markey's younger brother is not a hypocritical person either, and he also pulls grass from the ground and chews it in his mouth.
They don't know the concept of virus, so naturally they don't care whether the grass will be infected with the virus because of the black rain.
Besides, they came here like this before, and if they continue to do this, they don't think there is anything wrong.
The blood moon returns to hermitage, and the sun rises in the east.
The four of them sat in place all night, and then started on the road again.
People died again and again, even with delicious bread as food for running, the two of them still couldn't hold back, and asked Xiang En the question they wanted to ask the most.
"Boss Xiang En...well, we, hehe. Where are we going?" Duncan, who was dark-skinned and slightly short, was pushed out.
Xiang En stared at that flattering face for a moment, then swept over Ma Ji again.
The original five people suffered accidents one after another, and now there are only two people left.
Pulling carts and carrying goods all the way, they don't even know the destination, and they can walk for so long without complaint because of the bread. In the end, it is a kind of sadness.
"A lord's territory on the border of Fiore Province. At the current speed, without any accidents, we won't have to leave in twelve days."
Xiang En looked at Andrea, and after obtaining the latter's authorization, he explained to the two of them where they were going.
