Chapter 127 Hush "6" Tenderness of Iron Maiden

Li Xue started making dinner.

She took a kitchen knife and "chopped chop chop" to chop the meat. After chopping for a while, she looked at Shi An who was proudly and bravely helping her wash the vegetables.

She hiccupped, and Shi An caught a glimpse of the small round badge on her chest: "You still bring this with you when you go home?"

Li Xue wiped away her tears and asked her hoarsely, "What do you want to eat?"

Shi An scratched her head: "I don't need to eat." She wanted to say that she had already done bigu, but Li Xue might not know what bigu is. Shi An saw that there were no novels and magazines in her room. Doesn't everyone here need entertainment?

"Everyone has to eat." Li Xue said, as if the woman who could fly over the wall in front of her would become a normal person. "Do you like soup? It's cold at night, so I want soup."

Shi An opened his mouth, looked at the badge, and couldn't tell what was wrong: "This badge looks strange to me."

Li Xue took off the badge: "You can only activate the voice conversion software by wearing the badge. You need a badge to buy things in the store. It records how much exchange you have left this year."

She made a circle with her hand: "Without a badge, you are a refugee."

Shi An took the badge and played it with her fingertips, her eyes gleaming. After thinking about it, she decided not to remove the chip inside rashly. She just put the badge in her pocket and asked seemingly unintentionally, "Is it okay if you don't wear it at home?"

Li Xue was stunned for a moment: "It should be fine."

She knotted the shallots and put them into the pot, and the fish soup was stewed in it. It was milky white in color. , her mood seemed to ease a lot.

When Li Xue finished dinner for the two of them, Shi An was already sitting at the dining table in an orderly manner.

It is true that there is bigu in time, but bigu does not mean that one cannot eat.

Now that Li Xue made her dinner, Shi An felt that he could not disappoint her kindness, took a sip of fish soup with a spoon in his hand.

Li Xue counted the rice grains slowly, her appetite was lacking, her eyes were still red, and she even got up to answer a phone call.

"Well, I'm home."

Li Xue got up and went to the next door, while Shi An sipped the fish soup, quietly pricked up her ears, listening to her carefully.

"Well, I'll keep an eye on it. I'll finish the report tonight."

Li Xue turned back and saw that Shi An's job bowl was empty and shiny, her brows twitched, her eyes were still hurting from crying so hard.

What did Shi An just say before... She said she wouldn't eat, hmph, duplicity, she must be very hungry and want to eat, even a dog can't lick it clean like her.

Life as a refugee is really miserable.

Li Xue didn't understand why she had to be a refugee when she was living a good life.Obviously, as long as you sign your name, you can get a member badge to prove it.

She remained silent, took Shi An's bowl, and helped her fill another bowl full of rice.

This woman's physical strength is so good, it's normal to eat a lot.

Shi An, as a lone traveler in the abyss, has top strength and is equally clear-headed. The world with A-level difficulty can never be crushed by fists. The main task has not yet been announced, which means that the gatekeeper is still assessing the situation and has not made a decision. Now she only needs to Find a local to integrate into the city as soon as possible, and over time, make a decision from the heart.

Shi An unknowingly ate another bowl, the fish was gnawed clean by her, the bones of the fish were picked very clean, not a single shred of meat was left.

Li Xue's eyes stared straight, she had never seen such an edible woman.Li Xue had no choice but to take Shi An's bowl again, biting the bullet and serving it for her again.

Shi An can skip meals, or keep eating.

She is a cultivator who tends to strengthen the physical body, and her body consumes a lot of energy. If she eats ten cows on the spot, she can quickly digest them.

When Ann started to eat seven bowls, Li Xue opened her refrigerator and found two potatoes, two handfuls of vegetables, and another pot of shredded potatoes.

Shi An's stomach seemed to be a bottomless pit, which couldn't be filled at all.

When she finished eating the last drop of fish soup and the last shredded potato, Shi An put down her chopsticks, rubbed the center of her brows, and sighed comfortably, but when she looked up, she saw Li Xue's teary eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Shi'an was startled, and she was on high alert. Finally, Li Xue stopped crying. She didn't want her to cry again. Her sister didn't cry endlessly like Li Xue did.

"Woo...you have almost used up my food reserves for three days, and I'm going to eat northwest wind in the next few days."

Li Xue held her bowl, thought of the empty rice cooker, and thought of her share of food for this week not being able to make ends meet, "How can you eat so well?"

Shi An was shocked: "Are you all rationed according to portion?"

Li Xue wiped away her tears, and said in a low voice: "According to the level and the weekly contribution ranking, there is only a little wonton wrapper left in the refrigerator, and you have eaten up all the fillings."

Shi An: "..."

She didn't bring any food into this world because it wasn't necessary.

She put down her chopsticks embarrassingly, apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know..." I don't know that your life is so difficult.

But Li Xue wiped away the tears from his face, and said a little stubbornly: "It's okay, no one can die from starvation for three days. But you, it must have been a long time since you had a meal."

She got up to clean up the dishes and walked into the kitchen. Shi An held hands next to her. Li Xue turned on the faucet, and in the "splash" of the water, she lowered her head and said, "If you just want to come to my house for dinner, I can take my I'll give you half of what you eat, but don't let the neighbors see it, or they'll report me."

Shi An tried to prove to her that such a life was unreasonable: "Don't you think this kind of life is scary? You don't want to leave here to visit other cities?"

李雪:“别的地方也是一样的啊。我们这里有五个分社,61、62、63、64、65。”

She stopped and counted carefully, as if she had made some important decision, her whole body trembled unconsciously, "But it's agreed, I can take you in for a year at most, and after a year, you have to leave .”

Shi An: "Are you going to move in a year?"

"No." Li Xue frowned, "I'm going to get married next year."

"Do you have a romantic partner?"

Out of insurance, Shi An didn't mention gender, but replaced it with a vague word.

Li Xue turned off the faucet and wiped her hands clean: "There is no match. But at the age of 21, I have not found a marriage partner by myself, so I have to force a match." She shrugged, a little helpless, "I will be matched according to your level, the gap between the two people will not be too big big."

"Before I turn 25, I must have a child." She became annoyed, and brushed a lock of loose hair behind her ear, "Then I will be transferred to a low-contribution position. Moreover, before the age of 35, a woman must have at least three children, otherwise the inspection team will come to your door and force you to conceive.”

"Have you ever thought that you don't need to marry a stranger and have children." Shi An clumsily bewitched her, "Are you satisfied with your life now?"

Li Xue's eyes widened, and she didn't understand why she said this: "It is said in the "Guidelines" that members only care about whether they can eat and drink enough, and members' needs are simple, so they don't need to think so much.

Now that the cooperative allows us to eat well and have a place to sleep, why do we want these? "

…………

midnight.

Shi An stood at the window, looking outside, the orange street lamps, the light broke through the darkness, and illuminated halos one after another on the ground.

Li Xue's house has only one bedroom. She hugged a quilt and let Shi'an lay it on the floor. Her thin body staggered under the huge quilt.

Her lips were tight and her eyes were red and swollen. Li Xue washed her with cold water several times, but it didn't relieve.

But the mood tended to be stable, and there was no longer a situation where she couldn't stop crying, which made Shi Anfang feel a lot more relaxed.

The night is dark and oppressive, but Shi An likes this kind of darkness. Darkness means safety, and she can hide herself better.

Shi An wasn't ready to go to sleep.

Shi An seldom sleeps.

Sleeping is a luxury for her, and she tries to contact her companions, but all messages come to nothing.

Just like the network signal that can never be found, the land here seems to have a natural barrier to information transmission.

"You're only 20 years old." Shi An whispered, "but you've already started working."

Li Xue was particularly self-confident: "I didn't get very good grades since I was a child. It's not easy to be a preschool teacher, at least it's not the lowest contribution position, otherwise the person I'm going to marry in the future must be very annoying."

She is very resistant to mentioning the matter of marriage. She is not a child born after the Great Revolution. The child who was born after the Great Revolution is now ten years old. She teaches them to study, looks into their eyes, and sometimes feels scared.

Shi An had no choice but to ask other questions, no matter the details.

Li Xue rolled up the quilt, her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open her eyes.

"I have to go to work tomorrow……"

She said in a weak voice.

Looking closely at Shi An's face, she found that this fierce woman was actually very beautiful, but her facial features were too sharp. She couldn't help but think of the soldiers who crawled out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood.

"Where are your parents? Wouldn't your parents be sad if you became a refugee? At your age, you must have lived with your family when you were young."

"I have a younger sister." Shi An whispered, "She is not in good health."

Li Xue: "Is she also a refugee?"

Shi An looked at her hesitantly and nodded.

"It's impossible for me to raise two people... the neighbors will definitely find out." Shi An said awkwardly, "Why don't you go? See what's useful here and take it away."

Shi An: "..." Is he really that unpopular?

After tossing around in the middle of the night, Li Xue became very sleepy, and fell asleep quite quickly, and fainted as soon as she touched the pillow, she had already lifted her guard against Shi'an.

Seeing her falling asleep peacefully, Shi An continued to look out the window with a headache.

A hazy pale gold gradually emerged from the distant sky, under the light blue sky, sporadic figures gradually appeared, and the whole city began to gradually wake up from its dream.

A long overdue task reminder sounded in her mind——

[Trigger the personal exclusive branch - please avoid Li Xue's death before the final main line is triggered. 】

The author has something to say:

Ah, after writing this, everyone should be able to see that the setting of the new world is influenced by some dystopian novels. It is difficult to write, and it is also related to my own level. I don’t have enough knowledge reserves, so I always feel that I can’t write well.

A little bit of history.In the 60s, the Romanian ruler Ceauses openly declared that "not having children is a betrayal of the country", forbidding divorce, having at least four children, menstruation is a state secret, and must be monitored at any time. The executors are called menstruation police. , women who went to the neighboring country were regarded as treason and were beaten to death in public. This system disappeared completely with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, that is, it disappeared only about 30 years ago. The country's typewriter system is also worth exploring.The Handmaid's Tale sometimes finds its shadow in history.
