After three days of searching, the stall owner failed to find out the whereabouts of Ge Qinyao. Chi Yue felt depressed for a while, waiting for New Year's Eve.

On New Year's Eve, the bright moon shines brightly.

There is a movie screen set up in an open area of ​​the base, and residents in groups of three or two hold stools and sit closely in front of the screen.

She and Wen Qizhou arrived neither early nor late, sat in the middle and back, and looked at the curtain flashing across the screen together.

This time we are playing New Year films from previous years.

Not everyone present has been to a movie theater. They were full of novelties, but they didn't make a single sound.

After the opening song ended, a famous comedian appeared on the screen and started making jokes, which made everyone who went downstairs to watch the movie couldn't help laughing.

It was rare to have such a cheerful and harmonious atmosphere. Chi Yue gradually relaxed, holding Wen Qizhou's hand on his knees, leaning on his shoulder, and watched the movie he had seen again.

The bright moonlight shone on everyone, accompanied by the gentle breeze, accompanying them for a long two hours.

Shortly after the curtain went dark, the staff played a New Year countdown video. Many residents watched the host who appeared on TV every Spring Festival and said New Year blessings, and their smiling eyes suddenly became moist.

"Every year comes again, and everything is renewed."

"With the flowers blooming tonight and the garden full of fragrance, I would like to give you a jasmine flower to welcome the coming spring. It is not self-sufficient, and hundreds of flowers and flowers share the fragrance."

"I want to send you a honeysuckle flower, which is persevering and undefeated in the face of danger. Just like the portrayal of our national character, the great Chinese people will surely bloom in the cold wind and meet in the spring."

"..."

After the hosts finished their New Year greetings, they counted down the time until midnight, and finally converged into a sentence of Happy New Year.

The residents fell into a brief silence.

Suddenly someone shouted "Happy New Year", breaking the silence around him, causing more people's voices to surge in like a wave, resounding throughout Linyun Mountain with expectations and hopes.

Then a burst of firecrackers sounded.

Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou turned around following the sound and looked at the people who had ran under the tree at some point. They bent over and lit two strings of firecrackers.

A little fire suddenly appeared, and the cub sitting obediently next to them raised his head and asked: "Dad, is this called a firecracker?"

"right."

"Then do I have any new peaches to eat?"

Before her father could react, Chi Yue understood that the cub was referring to the new peach in Wang Anshi's "Yuan Ri".

"The new peaches are Spring Festival couplets, not peaches." She used her consciousness to find two peach-flavored lollipops in the space, then took them out of her pocket and stuffed them into the cub's soft hands.

The cub blinked twice, held the candy and called out "Daddy". After getting his permission, he grinned and said thank you.

"Thank you, beautiful sister."

"You're welcome." Chi Yue touched her head, picked up the plastic stool and Wen Qizhou walked away from the crowd and walked to an open space.

She took out the sunset fireworks from the bag, placed them on the flat ground, and asked Wen Qizhou to light them.

The sound of "呲呲" sounded.

The sunset fireworks ejected a cluster of warm-colored fireworks, which reflected in their eyes and attracted the attention of many passers-by.

"It's so beautiful!" A child waved the fairy wand and stared at the cluster of fireworks with eyes full of joy.

The light it emits is like a guiding light, guiding the Xu Qian brothers and sisters to find them and take out different fireworks to set off together.

The number of people joining gradually increased.

Colorful fireworks bloomed together, lighting up the area as children and teenagers cheered.

Surrounded by sparks, Wen Qizhou stared at Chi Yue's smiling face, silently making a New Year's wish in his heart.

──May she be safe and go well, may everything she wishes come true, and may she always have him by her side.

After the second day of the Lunar New Year, the floods completely receded.

They put away the belongings in the suite, returned the keys, and left the Lincheng base carrying the same backpacks they came with.

The road down the mountain is longer than before, and when you reach the end, you can see the road covered with mud and garbage at a glance.

The stench filled the air, snakes, insects, rats and ants were scurrying on the ground, and flies were hovering in the sky, like a large garbage dump.

The material search team walked in front and spread out in different directions. Wen Qizhou helped Chi Yue get off the ground, holding a hiking stick in his hand, and followed the map's guidance to the north.

People walking in a hurry can be seen everywhere at the bottom of the mountain. It is too conspicuous for them to drive out of the city, so they can only find a slightly secluded place, take out two bicycles and roll around in the mud, creating the illusion that they have just found it, and then ride to the suburbs.

The road that was soaked by floods was really difficult.

Sometimes the road is blocked by billboards, vehicles, wardrobes and other large objects, and there are countless snakes and insects that harass us.

Fortunately, they were wrapped up tightly and had hiking poles in hand, otherwise they would have slowed them down.

"Yueyue, get a motorcycle out." Wen Qizhou looked around the desolate suburbs and stopped with one foot on the ground: "There are too many obstacles and it's not convenient for us to drive."

"Okay." Chi Yue immediately followed the instructions.

She put away her bicycle, got on the motorcycle with Wen Qizhou one after another, put on her helmet and drove out of the city.

The motorcycle made a low sound.

Wherever they passed, it was easy to attract the attention of others. On the way out of the city, they encountered people with unknown motives who wanted to stop the car.

"Hey! Stop it!"

"Where did you find the car?"

Wen Qizhou walked around them indifferently.

At present, there are very few people who can find their vehicles intact. They cannot catch up with the motorcycles with just two legs.

He rode to the highway at a lightning speed, glanced around through the helmet's visor, and when he saw no one else, he slowed down slightly and focused on avoiding obstacles to avoid accidentally bumping into something.

Riding at a speed of 80km/h until evening, he went around the two dilapidated houses on the right side of the highway.

The three-story house is covered with dirt, and you can smell the sour stench left by the floods when you get close, which is slightly pungent.

Chi Yue got out of the car and took a look around, took out the RV next to the mountains behind the house, took off her rain boots stained with mud and snake and insect feces, and walked into the RV with bare feet.

She stood next to the driver's seat, her eyes fell on their dirty pants, and she simply changed into a set of pajamas with Wen Qizhou.

"The bruise on your shoulder is finally gone." Chi Yue poked his shoulder and rubbed the skin with bruises with her fingertips.

Feeling itchy, Wen Qizhou stiffened her back and held the hand, and kissed her palm like a dragonfly with his thin lips.

The peripheral vision suddenly broke into a field of white, and he was stunned for two seconds. He helped her put on her shirt with his eyes darkly, and his voice contained a hint of doting: "Are you distracted even when you are putting on clothes?"

"I happened to see it."

Chi Yue stuffed the dirty clothes into the washing machine, held his arm and sat on the sofa.

She took out two cups of milk tea and said, "My butt hurts after sitting in the car for so long today."
