Angel

In the evening, Dai Limin was carrying large and small parcels in both hands, and a roll of straw mat under his arm, and carefully entered the house through the door.

Tang Anqi sat on the bed with her knees hugged, still lowering her head in anger.Dai Limin tried to calm him down this afternoon, and his lips were almost worn out, so he had no choice but to change his tactics.At this time, while putting the paper bag on the table, he said with a cheeky smile, "An Qi, I bought smoked chicken, which is quite fat!"

He knew that Tang Anqi was a glutton, and now that he heard that there was chicken to eat, even if he refused to change his mind, he could at least get out of bed and take a few steps.Unexpectedly, when these words were spoken out, Tang Anqi simply ignored him.

He licked his lips, and then said: "There are also pig ears—look at these big pig ears, as big as a cattail fan!"

Turning his head secretly to spy on Tang Anqi's movements, he also opened the steaming paper bag of sesame seed cakes.The biscuits were freshly baked, and the aroma instantly permeated the whole room, Dai Limin swallowed involuntarily.

Unable to bear it, he turned around and walked to the edge of the bed to sit down. He struck up a conversation and lifted the other's skirt.The kick under the ribs was really hard, the red patch had turned to bruise, and it seemed faintly swollen.Although Tang Anqi can eat and drink now, she is still on the thin side, not as well-proportioned as she was back then.Dai Limin tentatively touched the wound with his fingers, and saw that one of his ribs seemed to be slightly crooked, probably after being broken, it was not connected properly.

"Oh..." He said sincerely, "I'm not human."

Then he got up and went to wash his hands, then tore off the chicken strips and put them in the biscuits.This time, when he brought the biscuits to Tang Anqi, he humbly smiled and said, "Honey, I haven't eaten all day, let's have some biscuits."

Tang Anqi lowered her head and said nothing.

Dai Limin continued to coax with a guilty conscience: "Baby, I was wrong, I'm a beast, I'm sorry. You eat first, and when you're full, I'll beat you and let you vent your anger, okay?"

Tang Anqi turned around and lay down, closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep.

Tang Anqi is not hungry.

It's not a hunger strike in anger, it's really not hungry, no appetite at all.Dai Limin's flattering and pleading voice became more and more indistinct, and he fell asleep unknowingly.

When I woke up, it was a sunny day.Dai Limin had already prepared all the dry rations and kettles needed for running the air raid, and a large bowl of hot noodle soup was placed on the table, with two pieces of deep-fried pork ribs on top of the noodle.

Tang Anqi got up to wash up without saying a word, this time Dai Limin could not help but push him to the table and sit down.He scooped up a little noodle soup with a spoon and let it cool down, and he fed it to Tang Anqi directly.

Tang Anqi took a sip with a sullen face. She couldn't taste the taste, but felt that it was a lukewarm mouthful of soup, which seemed to have a strange taste.After barely swallowing twice, he got up and went out, spitting out the soup.

On this day, Dai Limin and Tang Anqi spent in the air-raid shelter.

Tang Anqi wouldn't even eat hot noodle soup, let alone touch the hard biscuits in the bag.When the two returned home in the evening, Dai Limin made him a glass of milk replacer, but he only drank two sips of water.

After that night, it was sunny again, and the people naturally went to the air-raid shelter to pass the time.In the evening, when the alarm was lifted, Dai Limin and Tang Anqi were walking home, feeling a little panicked: "Anqi, can you please stop doing this? If you have revenge, if you are angry, beat me up and don't skip dinner !"

Tang Anqi hadn't eaten for nearly three days, and when she walked, her steps were a little shaky: "I'm not hungry."

Dai Limin really couldn't think of anything else to get Tang Anqi to eat - usually the other party's favorite food was put out, no matter how it was put up or put away, Tang Anqi would not move a single bite.

After arriving home, Dai Limin twisted a towel and wiped off Tang Anqi's sweat.Tang Anqi went to bed wearing shorts, her waist and abdomen were thin and only bones remained, her back showed the shape of her spine, and the only bit of flesh grew on her cheeks.

Dai Limin felt extremely sad when he saw that he was as thin as a ghost.He fetched water and wiped his whole body, and he shaved his face by the way.After tidying himself up, he turned on the lamp and went to bed, and pulled Tang Anqi back into his arms.

"Don't blame him." He thought to himself: "I haven't just arrived in Chongqing. Don't you know the scene of the bombing? When people arrive at that time, they will have different reactions and appearances. Some are stupid and bold and don't care. Some were nervous and pulled their pants, and some even went crazy with fright. An Qi saw that the house had collapsed, and she was supposed to go back at night but she didn’t, so she probably became confused with fright.”

The probe pecked Tang Anqi's lips, and he said softly: "I know I was wrong, baby, please forgive me this time."

In the moonlight shining in from the window, he raised his hand to stroke Tang Anqi's short hair: "If you starve to death, how will I live?"

Tang Anqi replied in a low voice: "I heard that the long-distance bus is blocked, I thought you would have to wait until the traffic opened before you can come back."

Then, without waiting for Dai Limin to answer, he continued: "It's not that I don't miss you, I waited on the ruins all night, and I really had no idea the next day. It happened that Miss Qian came to see me, so I followed her up the mountain. I forgot to ask someone to leave a message for you, it was indeed my fault, I forgot, I really forgot. "

In the darkness, his voice was low and clear: "When you came to find me that day, I was really going down the mountain. I think the first long-distance bus will arrive at the stop at least at noon, so I am not in a hurry."

Speaking of this, he sat up, turned his back to Dai Limin and said: "You can believe it or not. Anyway, I have lived for 30 to [-] years, and I am worthy of anyone except my parents. If you think I am so If you are not interesting enough, then the two of us can separate and save half of each person. I will not force you, let alone take advantage of you. As the saying goes, we get together well, we don’t get together very well, so let’s be decent when we part. "

Dai Limin sat up as soon as he stood up: "An Qi, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Tang Anqi looked like a paper man from the side, with a round and heavy head, and she couldn't lift it up when she hung down: "I can bear it a little bit, but I can't bear the beating. That year in prison, I was beaten I'm afraid, and my physique is not good now, even if I'm not afraid in my heart, I can't stand it."

Dai Limin was silent beside him for a moment, and finally put his arms around his shoulders, turned his head and kissed his hair: "Anqi, stop talking, I understand it in my heart. Please forgive me this time, and I will never talk about it again in the future." I won't hit you anymore, and I won't move a finger."

Dai Limin hugged Tang Anqi all night, and occasionally kissed his forehead and cheek.Tang Anqi lay in his arms, she was silent at first, then her breathing gradually became clearer, she must have fallen asleep.

Dai Limin sighed a few times, thinking that everything was fine originally, and it was common to quarrel with each other, and it was all due to his kick——when he kicked out, he really meant to vent his anger.

If he wanted to let it go, he definitely wouldn't dare - he wouldn't be willing, and he wouldn't dare.Now that the two of them have lived together for a long time, he can't help but imitate the manners of the fellows in the village.His palm slid across Tang Anqi's bony back, and he felt distressed, fearing that Tang Anqi would starve to death.

After one night, Tang Anqi and Dai Limin finally reconciled.

Tang Anqi still kept a few cosmetics and half a jar of candy in her hands. Seeing the gloomy sky at this time, she boldly went out with Dai Limin with confidence.This time, he drank half a bowl of bean curd at the market stall, and he was going to sell all his things.

Dai Limin accompanied him until noon, when it started to rain.Tang Anqi held up her umbrella, then turned her head and said to Dai Limin, "Go to the noodle shop and take a seat. I want two big bowls of noodles. I'll stay and wait."

Dai Limin said: "There is only one bottle of cream left, don't sell it today. After all, there is no air raid, let's go home and rest!"

Tang Anqi didn't listen to him, so she had to stay and try her luck again.Dai Limin had no choice but to get up and walk to the noodle restaurant—it was said to be a noodle restaurant, but it was actually a shed supported by four wooden poles, with wind blowing from all directions, it could only provide shade.After days of bombing, the noodle shop owner's family has never been able to rebuild the house, so they have to deal with it first.

Dai Limin sat down in the shed, waiting for familiarity, while looking at Tang Anqi.Tang Anqi crouched under a big umbrella, she looked very small.A lady who looked like a professor's wife stopped in front of him and asked a few words, then turned around and left again.And until the two big bowls of noodles were served by the boy, Tang Anqi's bottle of high-end cream was still not sold.

Tang Anqi put the bottle of cream into her pocket, and then rolled up the piece of cloth that was spread on the floor.He got up and walked to the shed to sit down. He put the umbrella aside, first warmed up with a big bowl in his cold hands, and said, "Don't buy this brand of cream from now on. expensive."

After saying this, he took out the cream bottle and checked the expiry date again.Putting the cream back again, he picked up the chopsticks and began to pick out the noodles and put them in his mouth.The hot pepper in the noodle soup was very strong, and his lips were quickly stained an oily bright red.

Dai Limin didn't dare to look at him, feeling that Tang Anqi was working pitifully now.

He thought that the two of them had been doing small business for a long time, and they had quite a lot of savings in the bank, but although this little savings was more than enough, it was definitely not enough.I have to work harder, and I can't make Tang Anqi work so hard all the time.
