The rain came very fast.Not long after they found a place to stay, the moment the last person jumped out of the car and their footsteps landed on the ground, the room was instantly bright as day, and then there was a loud thunder that exploded on the ground, followed by heavy raindrops. There was hardly any chance for people to breathe, and it poured down immediately.

Fortunately, they ran in time. If they were a minute slower, they would probably be drowned.

"Fortunately, we left in time," Ning Chengyou said standing at the door and looking at the rain in front of him, "otherwise we must be in bad luck now, with such heavy rain, we can't even see the road ahead clearly, how can we walk?" .”

Everyone else agreed too.

"It's just that this time may delay a certain amount of time. After all, it seems that the rain will not stop for a while. If it does not stop, we will not be able to leave, so we will arrive at G City a little later." Ning Chengyou turned around and said, "Yuan Xilin , do you think it's okay? Will it delay your business? "

Yuan Xilin had already cleaned up an open space, spread out his clothes, and sat there, not knowing what he was thinking, when he heard him calling himself, he subconsciously said "huh?" Don't care about a day or two."

"That's good."

Ning Chengyou looked relieved, and then began to tidy up.

This is a large two-story warehouse. There are still some sacks left in the corners. They should have been used to hold some kind of goods. After the outbreak of the virus, people will die and run away, or they will become walking corpses. Everything that can be taken away It has already been taken away, and everything that should be destroyed is almost destroyed. Only these buildings that cannot be moved or taken away are left here, suffering from the waste of time.

Fortunately, although the place is dirty and broken, it has not been touched by zombies, and there are no bloody scenes that are occasionally seen in certain places. It seems that this place is much cleaner.They roughly tidied up the interior of the house, cleaned up all the dirty things on the ground, and at least cleared out a clean space, where they could barely make a bed for the night.

After spreading out the mats, Ning Chengyou asked the child to sit there with the others, and went around by himself. From the corner of the stairs, he found a few pieces of wood as thick as an arm, and half a bag of straw.

"It's raining outside, it's probably going to be cold in a while, sir, let's light a fire." Ning Chengyou carried his things back and said, "After all, there is no other way to keep warm in a place like this."

"it is good."

Cheng Yue asked, "Captain, where did you find it?"

Ning Chengyou pointed to the stairs: "At the corner of the stairs, there are just a few of them. I feel they are dry, so I should be able to touch them."

He brought a lighter, first ignited the straw, and then ignited the wood with the straw, and put several pieces of wood together to form a relatively strong structure.The fire burned slowly at first, and he deliberately controlled it so that the wood did not burn so fast, so the flames were not too big and the temperature was not too high.But for now, that's enough.

Ning Chengyou stretched out his hand to try it out, "It's still quite warm."

He asked the child: "Chenchen, do you want to try?"

The place where the child was sitting was out of the reach of the current flames. Ning Chengyou was afraid that he would not feel the temperature and would be cold, so he asked him to sit down a bit.

"it is good."

The child came over and imitated his example and stretched his hand close to the fire, but he obviously didn't know the principle of keeping a safe distance from the flames. He stretched his hand very close, which startled him and quickly pulled the child's hand back.

Ning Chengyou raised the child's hand to check it, because he pulled it back in time, the child hadn't touched the flame yet, and there were no red marks on the white fingers.He breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay, there's no injury."

"The temperature of the flame is very high, if you get so close rashly, you will get burned," Ning Chengyou said to the child, "Chenchen, the burn is very painful."

The child was not afraid and said: "But I am not afraid of pain."

Ning Chengyou flattened his palms, and put the child's hand on his own, "I know, Chenchen is very brave, not afraid of pain, this is indeed very powerful. But Chenchen, sometimes, people can not be so brave. "

"You can be afraid. Fear of pain, fear of fire, fear of strangers, fear of viruses... are all allowed, you have not become invulnerable and hide all your weaknesses. Because you are no longer alone."

"You have me."

Ning Chengyou held the child's hand in his palm, "I won't let you hurt."

The child looked directly into Ning Chengyou's eyes. There were many emotions in those brown pupils, some of which he could understand and some of which he couldn't understand. Next to Yu's ear, he asked in a low voice, "Is this also a liking?"

Ning Chengyou was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

Child: "I see."

Ning Chengyou didn't know what he understood, but since the child didn't say anything, he didn't ask.

The fire was slowly burning hot, Ning Chengyou adjusted it, suppressed the fire, and then got up again, "I'm afraid these few logs are not enough to burn, I'll go up and see if there are any."

Just two steps away, he suddenly stopped, turned around and asked the child: "Chenchen, do you want to go with me?"

The child happened to be bored too: "Yes."

"Then come." Ning Chengyou stretched out his hand, leading the child who was walking towards him, and headed towards the stairs.

The second floor is much smaller than the first floor. There are only three or four small rooms, each with tables and chairs. There is a copier in one room, and there are scattered papers on the floor. It was probably used as an office before.

Ning Chengyou opened the drawer, and there were several stacks of blank copy paper in it. He took out the paper, and carried three chairs, and prepared to take it downstairs and split it for firewood.

The child followed him and also took a stack of papers.The paper is relatively light, within the range of a child's tolerance, so Ning Chengyou didn't stop it.

After taking the things, the two went downstairs together again.

"If you split this chair, it can burn."

Ming Xiao: "But we don't have tools."

"It's simple."

Ning Chengyou threw the chair on the ground and kicked it down, the chair he kicked fell apart automatically, and he bent over to break it again, turning a complete chair into a pile within 1 minute firewood.

Ming Xiao gave him a thumbs up.

The remaining two were also processed by him in the same way, and "split" into firewood to be burned.

"Okay, so much is probably enough," Ning Chengyou clapped his hands, and said, "If it's not enough, there's more on it, so go get it."

"Row."

After sitting by the fire for a long time, it was still a little hot. Ning Chengyou noticed that the child's face was a little red, so he suggested: "Chenchen, why don't we sit by the door for a while?"

Child: "OK."

He led the child to the door and sat down.This warehouse is three steps higher than the ground, and there is a eaves on the top, so most of the rain cannot enter, only a few occasional drops will be blown in by the wind.

Ning Chengyou was afraid that the hot and cold would catch the child a cold, so he brought someone to his side, and conveniently covered the child with his coat.

"It's raining harder and harder," he said, looking out.

The rainwater formed dense curtains from mid-air, and flowed down interlaced with each other. When it fell, there were almost no gaps. Accompanied by lightning and thunder from time to time, it was really bad weather.

The child also took it seriously, looked up at the still dark sky, and unconsciously pursed his lips: "I don't like this kind of weather."

This was the first time a child expressed his likes and dislikes so clearly. Ning Chengyou was a little surprised, and asked softly, "Why? Would you like to tell me?"

"Because it's very dark at this time, and there will be lightning from time to time." The child was talking, and another lightning flashed across the area. Ning Chengyou noticed that the child's surroundings were lit up and closed his eyes subconsciously. .The child opened his eyes only after the lightning had passed.

Ning Chengyou frowned, and then he heard the child say: "When I was there, there was a punishment room like this. It was very dark inside, and there were countless lights installed on the top and around it, and they would light up all at once for a second or two. Close it after the clock. It's like this weather."

Sentinel's five senses are different from ordinary people, and relatively speaking, they are also more fragile than ordinary people. Eyes are the weakest senses, and they may be injured if they are not careful. .This punishment room was undoubtedly designed for the sentry's physical characteristics, and the designer's sinister intentions were obvious.

Ning Chengyou realized that the child's act of closing his eyes so skillfully and quickly when the lightning came just now must have something to do with that punishment room, and his heart twisted suddenly.

He hugged the child tightly, bowed his head and kissed the child's eyes, "That's quite annoying, and I don't like this kind of weather either."

"But it's all over," said the child without rejecting his intimacy, "although I still don't like this kind of weather."

Ning Chengyou smiled: "That's right, it's all over. This weather will pass, and soon, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, the rain will stop, and if the sun comes out by then, a rainbow will appear in the sky, There are seven colors, maybe you will like it."

The child raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but the dark clouds in front of him were still dense, and the sun was hidden somewhere, and no light was revealed.

Child: "I have seen a rainbow and know what it looks like. It is really beautiful."

Ning Chengyou looked towards the sky with him, and said, "Not only is it beautiful, but in our place, a rainbow represents good luck. Seeing it means that you are about to encounter good things."

Child: "I've never heard of that, is it true?"

Ning Chengyou: "Well...as long as you believe it, it's true."

There was one more sentence he didn't say - even if it wasn't true, he could make it true.

The two sat quietly for a while, Ning Chengyou suddenly saw something, narrowed his eyes, stood up holding the child.

The child also noticed it, tilted his head to identify it carefully, and asked, "Brother, is there someone there?"
