Chapter 131 131. What does it feel like? Qingxian: Thank you for the invitation...
The body of the old hunter Levin was quickly burned.
Li Ting lit the fire himself, and the flickering flames shone into the ravines of the skin on his face, making him look several years older. Li Qingxian hid behind Nance, glancing at his father's location from time to time.
Miss Su picked a bunch of wild flowers and placed them in front of the fire.
The bonfire was blazing, the atmosphere in the camp was a bit depressing, and everyone was silent.
The snowflakes floating in the sky seemed to dare not come near for a while, and were blown away by the wind...
After the simple funeral ceremony was over, the sentries continued to watch, and those who did not have night duty returned to their tents to rest. People's low voices and slight footsteps gradually became fainter in the wind and snow, until they disappeared completely.
"He is a good hunter." Nance and Li Ting said.
"He has superb hunting skills and a good heart." A look of reminiscence flashed across Li Ting's face, "I often receive prey from him."
"What a shame."
"is a bit……"
Li Ting sighed.
After a while, he asked again: "Do you know the situation in Shin-Yokohama?"
"I'm not sure about the specifics. After all, the signal here is not very good..." Nance replied, "I can occasionally find signals, but the news I receive is inconsistent. I just know that the entire city is in a state of shutdown."
"You should go back." Li Ting looked at his figure.
"I have such a plan. You are about to return to Nanwan Town." Nance nodded. "Someone told me yesterday that some strange beasts have been disturbed by the team entering the mountain and have migrated south in advance."
"Yes, all the young and middle-aged people have gone into the mountains. The town is now empty of defenses. They have to rush back."
"By the way, I have a question." Nance suddenly asked.
"what is the problem?"
"Where does courage come from? There is no doubt that man is capable of great actions. But if he does not have a noble feeling, what drives him to do great actions?"
Hearing his words, Li Ting pursed his lips tightly, and then looked at him again: "Then what drove you to do these things?"
After the words fell, Li Qingxian pricked up his ears.
Miss Su next to me was also listening carefully.
"I, I think, I should have noble feelings." Nance hesitated a little but said without wavering, "Although the world I know is not perfect, it is much better than it is now.
.I can’t accept the current world, so as long as I have the ability, I can’t sit back and do nothing... It’s not unreasonable to call this heroism.”
Hearing this answer, Li Ting smiled.
"According to you, if a person suffers for a long time, does it mean that he cannot do great things?"
Nance frowned.
...From his point of view, I am already living so hard, so why should I care about your floods?
Li Ting asked again: "Can you die for someone who has nothing to do with you?"
"It doesn't look like it will at this point."
"Yes, you won't die for irrelevant people, but you can die for your ideals. This is something that can be seen. I have seen enough people who die for their ideals, and I don't find it strange. I don't reject it.
Heroism, but relatively speaking, I prefer to turn 'heroism' into 'human nature'."
"It's human nature..." Nance repeated.
"Listen, my friend..." Li Ting looked at him kindly, "There are very few people who are not afraid of death, but in the face of great disasters, many people still go to meet their own deaths and do not stop because of fear.
Step down."
"Is this human nature?"
"Heroism is certainly worthy of praise, but the only way to overcome disasters is through countless such human actions. For example, the death of old hunter Levin..." Li Ting's eyes turned to the pair of bonfires that were about to burn out.
"Mr. Adel, there is no need to put yourself on the shackles of a hero. I only have this to say. Treat yourself as an ordinary person. Before encountering problems, think more about the four words 'human nature'.
It will suddenly become clear what choice you should make.”
"So you stayed in Nanwan Town for the sake of 'humanity' instead of going to New Yokohama to be a 'hero'?"
"I didn't ask you to learn from me." Li Ting laughed, "Tens of millions of people in New Yokohama are still waiting for you to get the prescription and go back to be heroes. Don't let the hundreds of people in Nanwan Town delay you."
Nance shrugged and joked: "You are quite eloquent, but why can't you say 'I'm sorry' or 'I love you' in front of your daughter?"
Hearing this, the expressions of the father and daughter both stiffened.
"Okay, I won't force you. Qingxian and I will go back first." Nance took Li Qingxian's little hand and walked back to his tent. "There is still the last bit of medicine left. After refining, I will go to bed. We will return tomorrow...
…”
Li Qingxian's lips moved and he muttered something.
Nance didn't hear clearly, but he was probably cursing again, since he was a little hedgehog after all.
Back in the tent, they ate something and chatted for a while. Susha and Li Qingxian fell asleep one after another. Nance made the last few potions. Time passed little by little. During the break, Shadow brought a potion.
He poured a basin of hot water and shaved off the beard under his chin with a razor blade.
Nance raised his chin, tapped his fingers on the table, and looked at the dark night sky.
The starlight was cold, and the hazy clouds pressed against the foothills and stretched into the distance, like a sea rolling with hurricanes. Looking at such a snowy night, he imagined the biting cold in Nanwan Town, and the bloodshed of the people who had lived here for generations.
Defend your homeland...
"It's almost New Year..." he murmured.
"do not move!"
Shadow's little hand fixed his jaw and concentrated on moving the razor.
Nance stopped talking.
The room was quiet for a moment, but the wind outside was still blowing.
After a while, the beard that had sprouted crazily these days was shaved clean, and Shadow took a hot towel to help him wipe his face clean carefully.
"Shadow is quite virtuous." Nance said with a smile.
Shadow glanced at him boredly, took the water outside the tent and poured it away. When she came back, she sat down on his lap. Her body was filled with the same perfume and sweat smell as her body. These smells would naturally drift to the south.
On Si's nose, it gave him the urge to take a good sniff.
At this time, Shadow couldn't speak, she just tensed up and asked Nance to tell him stories or something. Occasionally she would chime in, then smile or nod. All she could think about was the uncle's hands.
When would he go around his back, when would he rub his head, when would he lift his chin... Well, the last one doesn't count.
When Nance put his arm around her shoulders, she leaned into Nance's arms.
"I'm going back to Shin-Yokohama soon."
"Um, ah, okay..." Shadow sniffed, "Sister should be awake, right?"
"not yet."
"what happened?"
"...Hibernation?" Nance wasn't sure either.
"You're the one who hibernates!" Shadow raised his hand and poked the tip of his nose, "You're stupid! My sister is a human, not a snake, so people don't hibernate."
Nance rubbed her head hard: "If you scold me again, I'll wake you up!"
"..."
The shadow suddenly became docile.
Leaning her head on Nance's chest, she looked towards the main body.
Through the light of the kerosene lamp, you can see that the whole body of the main body is huddled in the sleeping bag, with only the red face exposed.
My breathing was weak and I slept very soundly.
"Every time I take advantage of the shadow when the main body is asleep, how bad is the uncle!" Shadow said in a slightly angry tone.
Nance just smiled at her attempt to cover up her behavior. It was too ungrateful to argue with a child. The wind blew by, the light of the oil lamp swayed weakly, one eyelash trembled slightly, and Li Qingxian's eyes cracked.
A thin crack, watching this scene quietly...
Diagonally across the street, Nance and Shadow suddenly discussed whether the "robot" should get property insurance or life insurance. During the conversation, he told a cold joke, and Shadow burst into laughter and coughed a few times.
Nance stared at her in disbelief: "Is it so funny?"
"Hehe~" Shadow curled up and raised his little face: "Since my sister was arrested, no one has told me any jokes anymore, so I can laugh so happily even at such boring jokes."
Nance was startled for a moment, then he held her on his lap and gently pinched her cheeks with his hands: "I'll keep you full of bad jokes from now on."
"Forget it, I won't laugh so easily in the future." Shadow habitually made a gesture of curling his lips to express disdain. The uncle placed his hands on his shoulders, and involuntarily, a strong warmth spread from his shoulders to his arms...
She wanted to laugh again.
To be continued...
