Chapter 21 The Bottle

Seeing the two brothers being taken away, Liu Chang and the others returned to their own areas, leaving the family of three standing there in a daze - they never came out to say a word from the beginning to the end.

The three of them, Liu Chang and others, returned to their beds, tidied their things, and then sat on the lower bunk and started talking.

"Isn't it a bit unethical for us to do this?" Liu Chang glanced at the family of three in the distance and whispered: "That old couple looks like they are quite old. They must be sick if they sleep on the floor."

"The beds are shared by another family and not by us. What's wrong with that?" The fat man sat next to him and said, "Don't even think about being a good person. We still have one less bed here. Let's talk first.

Let’s talk about how we share the same bed.”

"Two girls have one bed each, and the three of us guys will take turns sleeping on those two beds. Do you think that's okay?" Li Qingshui turned his questioning eyes to the other three.

"That's very reasonable." Liu Chang nodded, "It just so happens that the three of us can take turns keeping watch. The one sleeping on the floor should not be too heavy when sleeping. Pay attention to the surroundings. In this crowded place, it's best to be careful.

"

"Agree." The fat man also nodded.

Zhu Lin didn't say anything, which was regarded as acquiescence. But what everyone didn't expect was that the last objection came from a little girl.

"I want to sleep with Liu Chang." After the little girl said this, she looked at Liu Chang's expression and whispered, "I don't know if that's okay?"

"Sure." Liu Chang nodded, "The beds are just enough. The guards will still take turns, and I don't have to sleep on the floor."

"Now that the beds are divided, let's all come over and have something to eat. We've been working on this all day, and it's already dark outside!" As Li Qingshui spoke, he opened his backpack and took out a few vacuum-packed bags.

The bread bag was immediately unpacked.

A musty smell also followed the pavement.

"Damn, this is hairy!" The fat man looked at the bread in the vacuum package and cursed: "Damn it, Tianchao's sealed packaging is definitely not qualified. If the vacuum is more thorough, even in this environment,

It can also be kept for two or three days."

"Stop complaining, at least you can still eat it." Liu Chang took the bread, peeled off a layer of green hair on the crust, took a bite, frowned and said, "It's really, damn unpalatable!"

The moldy bread has a pungent stale taste when chewed in the mouth. This taste is like a quilt that has been left in a warehouse for many years and has not been taken out to dry, making people feel like chewing wax.

"Eat everything, eat more." Li Qingshui took out all the food in his backpack, "I want to eat these furry things tomorrow, but I won't have any."

"That's right." Liu Chang took another bite of bread and said vaguely: "If I want to eat tomorrow, I will only have Maomao and no bread!"

"Sigh." After hearing this, the fat man sighed, opened a packaging bag, tore off the fluff, took a bite, and said with a bitter smile: "Eat it. According to the general theorem of doomsday, what we eat now is unpalatable.

, but if we can live for more than ten days, maybe we can take another bite of this kind of thing, and it will feel extremely delicious."

"Really?" Liu Chang burst out laughing after hearing this. He carefully tasted the moldy bread in his mouth and showed a surprised expression: "Hey, it's true. You can taste it even if you taste it carefully.

It smells like grass!"

After saying this, he tore open a packaging bag, handed one to the little girl, and said with a smile: "Try it!"

"Yeah." Taking the bread handed over by Liu Chang, the little girl nodded heavily, then tore off the mold and started to eat it with big mouthfuls.

A meal for a group of people ended in a strange atmosphere. It seemed that everyone understood the importance of "having fun in hardship" in this environment, and everyone was creating a beautiful world woven with lies.

"It seems that news broadcasts are not completely useless!" After a group of people joked for a while, they each found their own beds and lay down.

"At least I can comfort myself!"

Liu Chang wanted to sleep with the little girl and was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to get in and out of bed, so he chose a lower bunk.

After lying on the bed, Liu Chang hugged the thin girl who looked only seven or eight years old, but felt her whole body trembling. And he knew very well what this trembling meant.

"Are you afraid?" Liu Chang lowered his head and looked closely at the deep and long scar on the girl's face. Only then did Liu Chang notice how strong this girl was - she had been suppressing her fear. A little girl

, had no relatives, and was left alone in such a terrifying world, with no place to go, not only to face monsters, but also to be kidnapped, and even had such a deep and bloody scar on his face.

.

Liu Chang suddenly thought that the girl followed him all the way, and she never cried out in pain, nor said a word of fear, nor did she delay the team's journey. He suddenly thought that if it weren't for feeling the girl's trembling body, he himself

Don't even know how scared the girl is.

How strong this girl must be!

"Are you afraid?" Liu Chang hugged the girl and asked again.

"It was a little bit just now, but not now." After the girl finished saying this, her body slowly stopped shaking and she closed her eyes.

When Liu Chang saw this, he closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

Tonight is Fatty's vigil, so he can have a peaceful sleep.

Closing his eyes, fatigue came over him. He said nothing all night. Early the next morning, when it was just getting dark outside, Liu Chang got up. And with his small movement, everyone in the room opened their eyes almost at the same time.

.

It can be seen that everyone is alert to something, like a soldier on alert, always alert to the surrounding environment.

Liu Chang sat up, and the little girl in his arms also stood up. Liu Chang then reached out and touched her forehead - there was no fever, which reassured him a lot.

After getting up and going to the ground, Liu Chang saw three people who were making bunks on the ground last night - two were the father and daughter from a family of three, and one was one of the two brothers from the family of four.

Seeing Liu Chang getting up and going to the ground, the father and daughter glanced at him and turned away, but the man stared at Liu Chang's face for a long time without concealing the dissatisfaction in his eyes.

However, Liu Chang ignored him and instead gave him a friendly smile, then put on his shoes and walked out of the house.

"Where are you going?" the girl shouted behind him.

"Go to the toilet!" Liu Chang waved his hand behind him in a dumbfounded voice, and then strode out of the room.

The soldiers' dormitory where they lived did not have a separate bathroom. After Liu Chang walked through three dormitories in the dormitory corridor, he found a toilet - a large toilet for soldiers on the first floor.

But standing in front of the toilet door, he suddenly thought of something, and then turned back to the house where he lived.

"Do you still have the mineral water bottle you drank yesterday?" Liu Chang opened the door and shouted to the fat man.

"Yes." The fat man nodded, took out a mineral water bottle with not much water left in his bag, and threw it to him from a distance.

Liu Chang took the bottle, drank the rest of the water in one gulp, and then walked out of the room again with the bottle.

But this time, there was another person who came out with him - the man who had been lying on the floor sleeping all night.

"Hey, brother, why are you holding a bottle when you go to the toilet?" The man said, stepped forward and hugged Liu Chang's neck, with great force and louder voice: "What, bladder?"
