"Um~ Miss Wei, this is not a hospital. You are safe now. There is no need to be afraid. Come with me and take a deep breath. Let's take it easy and relax, okay?"
Slowly raising his right hand, Tang Xiaoquan tried to ease the girl's gradually losing control of her emotions by patting her. But who would have thought that when the wind of his palm was about to touch the opponent's back, the opponent would say "Ah" like a frightened bird. He let out a sound, and then his whole body trembled.
Good guy, this series of stimulating actions shocked the unprepared Tang Xiaoquan, who almost fell from the corner of the sofa. .
Wei Yang's eyes are erratic, as if he is looking for something, but if you listen carefully, you can faintly hear some muttering to himself from his squirming mouth: "Safe? No~ It was not safe at all! Those days , I can hear howls! Crying! And those shuffling footsteps every day in the car. They are just outside the car, everywhere!"
"Well, it was indeed very difficult. So how did you and your father spend those difficult days? For example, how did you solve the food problem?" Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaodong asked the girl Questioned.
Tang Xiaoquan glanced at Big Brother inexplicably. It was obvious that he didn't quite understand what the other party was doing.
After all, in his opinion, talking about bad memories of the past with Wei Yang should be avoided as much as possible at this juncture, because those cruel experiences can easily cause her emotional fluctuations.
However, Hu Xiaodong, who has had similar experiences, has a completely different view.
As the saying goes, if something is broken, then it can be reestablished. If it is not destroyed, there can be no reestablishment.
Therefore, since the girl is willing to take the initiative to open up the dusty memories, it means that she hopes to achieve the purpose of emotional catharsis. Then everyone, as observers, should cooperate with her dutifully and help her completely reveal what is suppressed in her heart.
Sure enough, when Hu Xiaodong's question came to an end, Wei Yang's wandering eyes immediately found their direction. She stared at Hu Xiaodong, and her originally incoherent words became more orderly.
"There were too many zombies outside, and my father and I were trapped in the car and couldn't get out. But we found glucose and saline in the car. These things can help my father and I replenish the right amount of nutrition and water. But after eating On the other hand, there was only a box of half-eaten fast food that the first responders ate, but thanks to this fast food, otherwise my father and I would never have been able to last so long in the hospital."
Listening to the girl's words, all the survivors felt the same way. They had all experienced the pain of starvation, so they could understand the importance of food to survivors.
"I can't remember exactly how long I stayed in the hospital. In short, my father and I were getting worse and worse. For my sake, my father barely ate and relied on glucose infusions to supplement nutrition. Most of the time, he I was in charge of guarding. I was really scared and anxious at that time, and I really regret now why I didn’t help my father share some of the burden. He was responsible for everything by himself, and I..."
Realizing that the girl was about to fall into painful self-blame again, Hu Xiaodong quickly changed the subject and said, "What happened next? How did you leave the hospital?"
With Hu Xiaodong's timely guidance, Wei Yang's thoughts were immediately changed. She continued unhurriedly: "Later, when my father saw that there was no hope of rescue, he began to think about saving himself. He discovered in the rescue workers who had been eaten by monsters that He picked up a bunch of keys and then ventured out to get them back."
"There are five keys in total, but we were lucky, the first one started the car smoothly."
After saying this, a rare smile appeared on Wei Yang's face, and even the palms that were always clenched were unconsciously loosened a little.
"After we got out of the hospital, we discovered that things were far worse than we expected. We didn't see a single living person on the street, except for those monsters, of course."
"So, my father decided to leave the city. He felt that our hometown might still be safe."
"My father drove the car relatively steadily along the way, but because of my sudden relaxation, I fell asleep not long after, until..."
"Woo~" Tears flowed out uncontrollably again. Wei Yang's hands holding the cup slowly lifted up, then tied them around his chest, hugging each other tightly.
Cold, as cold as falling into an ice cellar! That kind of coldness is full of despair and suffocating!
Tang Xiaoquan picked up the tea cup from the girl's lap indifferently. He knew that people at this time are extremely fragile and in urgent need of care and comfort, so...
"I know that no words can relieve the pain in your heart at this moment, but you still have a long way to go, and the days ahead will still be difficult. You must cheer up, not only for yourself, but also for your deceased father, don't let him down Despite his love for you, don’t let him worry about you in heaven! Believe me, everything you do, he is... watching, so do you want him to be sad for you now? "
"No~wu!" Unfolding his curled arms, Wei Yang grabbed Tang Xiaoquan's shoulder, then lay on it and cried loudly.
The sudden change made Tang Xiaoquan a little overwhelmed. The half-raised arm was frozen in the air, not knowing where to put it.
In desperation, Tang Xiaoquan had no choice but to cast his gaze at Hu Xiaodong, who was sitting across from him, hoping that the latter could give him some help.
Nodding solemnly, Hu Xiaodong reached out and made a hugging movement. The meaning was quite clear, but when it came to Tang Xiaoquan's movements, he seemed unusually hesitant.
Frankly speaking, Tang Xiaoquan is not a libertine who takes advantage of others' dangers and has random thoughts. The reason why he has such a wavering reaction is mainly due to the shyness deep in his heart.
After all, at the end of the day, he was just a big boy who had just stepped out of school. Although he often joked with girls during school, this was the first time he had such close contact.
Therefore, some instinctive shyness is understandable.
However, looking at the girl's helpless body, Tang Xiaoquan suddenly felt something deep in his heart suddenly throb.
And that throbbing has nothing to do with the love between men and women, it is just an impulse to protect the body.
The right arm that was hovering in the air dropped down again for a few seconds, and finally completely wrapped around the girl's shoulders.
"Cry, cry as much as you want, don't keep it in your heart, whatever is painful, sad, sad, or depressing, just cry out loud. Then, after today, let's regroup and set off!"
