To my frozen hometown

Chapter 3 Some words are always hard to say in person

In fact, Liuyuan agreed to the girl's commission, and there was a more realistic reason, that is, the No. [-] Greenhouse in the West was just to the east of the No. [-] Greenhouse in the West.

Liu Yuan was going to the east, and he would definitely pass by Greenhouse No. [-] for a rest in the middle, so agreeing to the girl's entrustment could be regarded as earning some extra money along the way.

"So, can you tell me who you want to send the letter to?"

Now that he was already a guest, Liu Yuan looked at the girl again, tried his best to show a kind expression on his lifeless face and said.

It was a very shallow smile, but I have to say that Liu Yuan is indeed a person who is very suitable for laughing.Just a simple smile softened her somewhat ferocious face a lot.

Coupled with her extremely handsome facial features, even though her face was ashamed, the girl still blushed subconsciously when she saw her.

"Send it to my sister Alice."

The girl stammered, just like before, unable to tell whether it was shyness or timidity.

Alice is really a popular name.

Saying something impolitely in his mind, Liu Yuan also found some problems in a daze.

"But don't you want to come with me, why write a letter?"

Asking this in an incomprehensible way, Liu Yuan put his hands on his neck, looking a little more lazy.

She looked into the girl's eyes, just like the girl, they were a pair of very clean eyes, rare, because most people's eyes are dim and dull nowadays.

"This." The girl grabbed the envelope in her hand, pursed her lips, and said with her head down.

"Some things cannot be said directly."

"Oh, so." Liu Yuan could probably understand what the girl meant, because she was also writing a letter to her hometown.

In this world, there are indeed some words that are difficult to speak face to face.

Otherwise, it would probably be a shame.

Perhaps it should be thankful that even in despair, Liu Yuan still understands the importance of shame.

"Then, I will send you safely to Greenhouse No. [-]." Probably with a sigh of relief, Liu Yuan stretched out a hand to the girl.

The girl stared blankly at Liuyuan for a while, and then showed a bright smile that seemed to be able to illuminate everything.

"Ok!"

She responded heavily, and put her hand on Liu Yuan's.

Liu Yuan's hand was cold, but for a while, the girl didn't notice any abnormality in it.

"Okay, let's go."

Let go of the girl, stood up and patted the dust on his buttocks, Liu Yuan waved to the girl while moving his neck and said.

Although her figure is very barren, her height is not short. She is about 1.7 meters tall, which is already taller than ordinary men in this era.

"Okay, okay!"

The girl quickly followed her.

The rusty iron plate was thrown on the ground, and the voices of the conversation became farther and farther away.

"If you want to go to the fourth greenhouse, you can't be in a hurry. Before that, we still need a little preparation, so now you have to go shopping with me first, so that we can set off tomorrow morning, understand..."

"clear."

On the empty street, a tall woman in a dark brown coat walked in front, and a girl with silver-white hair followed behind her.

It may be because of disrepair, the street lights on the side of the road flicker occasionally.

Liuyuan put his hands in his pockets and walked lazily.After walking for a while, she suddenly asked the girl again.

"By the way, what's your name?"

The girl couldn't keep up with Liu Yuan's footsteps, so she could only trot a few steps from time to time.

"Al." She replied slightly panting.

Sure enough, the name sounds more generic.

Couldn't help but muttered another sentence in his heart, Liu Yuan didn't say anything more.

Instead, Al then asked her, "And you, what's your name?"

"I..." Liu Yuan seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Liu Yuan."

"Liuyuan." Aylmer said the name innocently, raising his head after repeating the name.

"It's a strange name."

"Yes." Liuyuan didn't care about Al's remarks, but admitted that her name was indeed a bit special to the people here.

Perhaps noticing Al's strenuous effort, she slowed down a bit, then raised her eyes, looked at the dome on the greenhouse and said.

"Because I wandered from a far away place..."

Under the dome, the steel in the greenhouse is staggered.

Outside the dome, there is snow that remains unchanged after the disaster.

······

Al felt that Liuyuan should be a reliable person, at least she always thought so before Liuyuan took her into a corner tavern under the pretext of buying supplies.

But after Liuyuan exchanged half of the jerky for a glass of junk wine that could last the night, Al realized that he was wrong.She sensed her innocence as a child, and it gave her a sense of trepidation that she had been tricked.

Seeing Liu Yuan sitting at the bar and slowly taking a sip of the smelly drink, Al couldn't say a word, but just stood there with red eyes.

Garbage wine, this can be said to be one of the few spiritual enjoyments left by the common people after the disaster.As the cheapest and most common drink in the greenhouse, its raw materials are not cherished, and it can even be said to be extremely rare.It can be seen in many places on ice sheets and even in greenhouses.

It was something called garbage grass, a plant that grew on buried or unburied corpses as nourishment.I don't know who discovered that it can make wine, and this garbage-like weed finally has a little effect.

But perhaps because of its special growth method, the wine brewed from this grass always has a strong fishy smell.

But who would care? In such an age, drinking a glass of wine is already a rare luxury. Do you need to think about other things?

There is a pungent smell in the air, which is the unique smell of junk wine, and some people even call it its unique charm.

The environment in the tavern is very dilapidated, the tables and chairs are made up of discarded metals, some of them don't even look like tables and chairs, but I just know that there is probably room for a person to sit on them.

The surrounding atmosphere also seemed chaotic, some of the drinkers were making loud noises, and some were drunk.

Humans are really strange creatures, and even in today's conditions, they don't forget to have fun.

The sight and unpleasant smell in the bar made Al couldn't help frowning his pretty brows.

Looking at Liu Yuan, she seemed to have summoned up some courage and asked aloud.

"Is this what you mean by buying supplies?"

"Yes." Liuyuan drank the trash wine in his hand in one gulp, turned his head sideways, shook the glass at Al, and said as if joking.

"This is my blood. I can't live without it, let alone cross the ice."

While talking, she picked up the remaining jerky piece by piece and took a bite.

Hmm, kind of hard.

"Did you lie to me?" Al asked with red eyes, clenched his fists, but that unashamed voice did not have any deterrent effect.

She knew that without the guarantee of a third party, Liu Yuan would have no restrictions. Even if she took all the rewards without completing the entrustment, she had no choice.

But she originally thought that Liu Yuan might be a good person, but the facts told her that she was probably wrong.

Sure enough, is it still a child?

"So in the future, don't trust other people so easily."

Liuyuan put the wine glass on the bar counter helplessly, and while inviting the waiter to refill the wine, he looked at Al again, thought for a while, adjusted his expression and said.

"But your luck is not bad. I didn't lie to you. I will take you to Greenhouse No. [-]. I promise it with my name. But before that, you can take a good rest here. After all, you see , it’s much warmer here than outside.”

Seeing Liuyuan's serious expression, Al was silent for a moment, then finally calmed down, and said softly, moving his eyes away.

"hope so."

She sniffled her own nose, and at this moment she could only trust Liu Yuan, because she had given everything she had.

She really wanted to see her sister again. For this reason, she was willing to believe in any possibility, even if it was just a little hope that was so faint that it was almost impossible to see.

Without saying anything to Eldo, Liuyuan began to sit by the bar in a daze, looking out of place with the surrounding crowd.

Al found a bench and sat down. At this time, she was like a lonely little animal, fearful and worried about the unknown.

In the corner of the tavern, there was a pile of rubble, on which sat an ugly man.

Amidst the noisy sounds of the tavern, he played slowly with an accordion that he didn't know how many years had been used, and sang a ballad that he didn't know where it came from in that deep voice.

The melodious singing voice seemed to carry the singer's thoughts and sorrows into everyone's ears.

"Well, my dear hometown, do you remember me?"

"Maybe you don't remember anymore, because I have been away from you for too long."

"Well, my dear hometown, do you remember me?"

"Believe that I will miss you forever, in my already barren heart."

······

The tavern became a little quieter, and the people who were still drinking were inexplicably silent. They turned their ears and listened carefully to the emotions conveyed in the song.

In the post-disaster era, people have little sustenance, which makes even a moving song seem precious.

Al squinted her eyes comfortably too, sitting on the bench and hugging her legs.

It is true that the tavern is much warmer than the outside, and warmth always makes people more lazy.

It seems that everyone is listening to this song.

Only Liu Yuan was still sitting there, staring at the wine glass, in a daze.

Snowflakes were flying outside the greenhouse, and the street lights were flickering on and off.

In front of the door of the tavern, the light and shadow in the door reflected on the dark road, and figures swayed in the dim light.And the song about the hometown is gently echoing in the night.

I don't know when it was, but probably during the singing, Al fell asleep.

As for Liu Yuan, she could no longer sleep peacefully.

······

It was not until the next morning that the people in the tavern gradually left.

In the almost empty tavern, Liu Yuan put down the wine glass in his hand, turned his head and looked at Al.

At this time, the girl was curled up there, with her cheeks lying on her arms, her mouth slightly open, and her eyes closed, sleeping deeply.

The slender eyelashes tremble unconsciously from time to time, as if dreaming of something.

Liu Yuan stood up, walked to her side, watched her sleeping soundly and waited for a while, then bent down, stretched out a hand and tugged at her cheek.

Feels good.

"Woo!" Al whimpered in his sleep, and faintly woke up.

She opened her eyes in a daze. When she saw Liu Yuan in front of her, the girl must have been frightened.She quickly sat up, shrank her body back, and said in a panic.

"What, what's wrong?"

Liu Yuan paused his hands in place, looked at her quietly for a while, then raised his eyebrows and replied, "It's time to go."

After speaking, she stretched out her hand to the girl again.

Al didn't know what she was going to do, and subconsciously wanted to escape, but she was leaning on the back of the bench at this time, and there was nowhere to hide.

She could only watch as the hand rested on her head while closing her eyes nervously.

But Liu Yuan didn't do anything, she simply tidied up the girl's messy short white hair, then withdrew her hand, straightened up and said.

"Let's go."

Al carefully opened his eyes.

At this time, Liu Yuan had already walked past her and walked outside the door.

She could only see that figure from behind, as if blocking the light outside the door.

Al was dumbfounded, because in her dream, she seemed to have seen such a scene.

It was a person, standing in a ray of light.

　Let me reply to everyone's questions in a unified way. First of all, the book friend group has not been established yet, and I really don't like to build a group. It's fine for everyone to chat in the old group, with a wry smile.Then there is the issue of updating the new book. At present, it is a chapter a day, and a chapter is [-] words. I am sorry for the slow update of the new book, because I broke my hand a while ago, and I am still typing with one hand, so I hope to understand, stream sweat.Finally, there is the issue of the content of the new book. This story is a warm daily story, and generally it will not cause depression, so everyone can rest assured.Moreover, the content may be somewhat different from ordinary post-apocalyptic essays. You can regard it as a road to redemption, and the protagonist will no longer be someone who will live forever, and she will have a happy ending.Well, that’s about all I can say. Finally, thank you for your support. I will strive to bring you a better story. In the future, please give me more advice, bow down.
