Chapter 656 Return to the Town
This night, the three of them had a hearty meal, then extinguished the fire, and closed the door to the basement. Although the oil lamp was still hanging, Tia was still a little scared. She put her arms around her shoulders and sat closer to the fire. Closer, even though the fire was only ashes, after she closed the door of the basement, the closed basement gave women an instinct for self-preservation.
Charlie Pullman naturally knew the meaning of Tia's gesture, and he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. He was already lying on his own bed, so he sat up again and said to Tia: "You can sleep on the bed, tomorrow you can I'm leaving here, and I'll just sleep on the ground for the night." As he said that, he really got out of bed, took the bed roll off the bed, and spread a layer of grass on the ground, then went to sleep, looked at Zhen Fan again, and looked at Zhen Fan. He nodded, signaling Zhen Fan to sleep with him too.
"Go to sleep, I can sleep by myself!" Zhen Fan looked at Charlie Pullman with a smile. He felt that this man was of good character, so he didn't plan to occupy his bed, so he planned to meditate by the fire one night. As long as you enter the state of forgetting things and me, there will be no sleep or sleeplessness, and the whole person will be very energetic.
Seeing that Zhen Fan didn't intend to sleep with him, Charlie Pullman stopped insisting, wrapped himself in a blanket and fell asleep. And Tia also looked at Zhen Fan, and then at Charlie, and finally fell asleep, because she was really tired during the day, and she was frightened by being thrown so far by the tornado, so she fell asleep quickly up.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhen Fan squinted slightly and knew that it was already dawn outside. Looking at Tia on the bed and Charlie on the floor, he smiled and opened the door to the basement. walked out. After the storm, the weather has cleared up, and a ray of sunshine is warm from time to time, but when it shines on the body, it makes people feel open.
Tiya also woke up, and the moment Zhen Fan opened the door, she was sleeping towards the door. Opening the door, the light came in, making her eyes narrow. So I got up and went out. Unexpectedly, just as he went out, he saw Zhen Fan standing on the ruins, facing the sun. Looking from behind, the golden sun was blocked by him. And the light that shone through his face. Let his whole person become a little different, like...
a wall? Tiya couldn't describe that feeling, so she had to tease Zhen Fan half-jokingly in her heart, then walked over from behind, holding back the smile brought by the joke in her heart, and said, "I didn't expect you to wake up so early last night. Didn't you sleep?" As he spoke, he actually looked at his face.
"Do you think I haven't slept yet?" Zhen Fan couldn't help laughing. Then look at Tia, "Did you sleep peacefully last night?" Say this. Zhen Fan did it on purpose, because when he was meditating, Zhen Fan became very sensitive to everything around him, and Tiya's breathing became heavy several times at night, which was obviously a sign of waking up and not falling asleep, so Several times, it could be seen that she really did not sleep well.
"I'm not used to it. I'm used to sleeping in my own bed and living in a tent with my partner. I haven't tried to spend a night like this. I can't hide and disturb you, but...you must not sleep at night good,
But... wait, why can't I see the tiredness on your face? "
Zhen Fan didn't answer her question, but looked at the sun for a while, turned around and walked towards the basement, saying as he walked, "Let's go have breakfast, and then hurry, and try to reach the small town of Lecce before dark." !"
When Tiya heard this, she quickly followed Zhen Fan to the basement. In the basement, Charlie was awake, laying bread and wine on the table. This will be breakfast for three. Seeing Zhen Fan and Tiya come in, he said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to wake up so early, breakfast time, and then you can feel the town of Lecce having dinner!"
"Of course!" Zhen Fan nodded, and then sat down to enjoy.
After breakfast, Zhen Fan redistributed the bread and wine he had collected. After leaving some bread and two bottles of wine for Charlie, he packed the rest himself. Charlie sent Zhen Fan and Tia out together.
"He's a good man!" The two walked a certain distance until they couldn't see the ruined Dao, then looked at the smile on Zhen Fan's face, and added, "At least I wasn't allowed to sleep outside last night. This is enough to prove it!"
"So... what about me?" Zhen Fan said half-jokingly, "What kind of person am I?"
"I don't know..." Tia laughed, "If you were a bastard, I would have died a long time ago. I don't know the impact of falling from the sky, but I know... I will definitely not survive, thank you You, Zhen!" She stopped and stretched out her hand to Zhen Fan.
"Tia—" Zhen Fan said something, and then smiled, thinking about this woman's smallness, "Is this our new acquaintance? You regard me as your friend now?"
"Of course, you are my friend now. Before... I was still wary of you, and Charlie too. Don't blame me. This is an instinctive reaction of women in times of crisis. If you want to... kill To get me, or... To get my body, I basically have no resistance!" Tia said truthfully, "After one night, I feel that my worries are unnecessary... Sorry, I may hurt you by saying this. broke your heart, but... that's what I thought at the time!"
"If I were a woman, I would be like you!" Zhen Fan understood.
It wasn't too boring for the two of them to say this all the way. Tiya chatted about her chasing tornadoes, researching the causes of tornadoes, talking about her words, and after walking a long distance, she said to Zhen Fan: "Okay, after hearing so many unhappy things about me, then... ...Tell me about you, are you going back to China?"
"Maybe, maybe one day, but now I have my own business here, and I used to think that I was going to make all the money in the United States, and now that goal is far away, so ... I still have to fight for it !" Zhen Fan said, and both of them couldn't help laughing.
Some cattle and sheep corpses could be seen along the way. As Charlie said, after the road was destroyed, search and rescue personnel from the National Guard once came here, but after a cursory search, they evacuated in a hurry. So Zhen Fan and the others didn't meet anyone else on the road.
When it was almost dusk, Zhen Fan and Tiya finally arrived at the small town of Lecce, looking at the town from a distance, the National Guard there had already evacuated, and those affected by the disaster had also evacuated, and they would follow National Guardsmen live in improvised rooms and wait for their homes to be rebuilt.
"That's the town of Lecce!" Zhen Fan pointed at the town from a distance, and then smiled, "I have many friends there! If I guess right, your friends will also appear there, because besides there, They have nowhere to go!" As he spoke, he took the first step and walked towards the town.
Seeing Zhen Fan striding towards the town, Tiya was stunned, and then walked away. The two of them were very familiar with each other along the way, but once they arrived in the village, how much more they could talk to each other would be difficult. I don't know, but... this young Chinese is indeed a good man! This is Tia's heartfelt evaluation of Zhen Fan.
"Aha, Zhen, I finally see you!" Suddenly a group of people came out of the town and walked towards Zhen Fan and the others. The leader was Old Jack. He was overjoyed when he saw Zhen Fan, and came with him. Big hugs, and behind the old Jack is Anthony, and those Tia's colleagues.
Seeing that Tiya came back safely, her colleagues were very excited. They rushed up to hug her one by one, made exclamation and excitement, and greeted each other. They also expressed their gratitude to Zhen Fan and Tiya for being able to survive. There was a great surprise. Yes, who could have survived such a huge tornado?
"Zhen Neng!" Old Jack is full of confidence in Zhen Fan. When someone raises such a question, he can't help but raise his head proudly, looking at that person with a little disdain, "Look, he doesn't know what to do now." Just standing here? This is a miracle, and Zhen is good at creating miracles!"
Old Jack greeted Zhen Fan and Tia to his bar: "I'm treating guests today, you can drink as much as you want, it's best to drink up all the wine in my bar, but...you must remember to have a drink for my friend!" As he said that, Old Jack put his arms around Zhen Fan's shoulders, and said as he walked, "Rachel hasn't come back yet, I will call her, she went out with the National Guard to search, if you don't mind, you You can pick her up for me. My pickup is over there!"
Old Jack pointed to the pickup truck next to the bar, and said to Zhen Fan. Before Zhen Fan could answer, he turned around and greeted those people to enter the bar. Said: "For Zhen, for everything that is still alive, let's drink!"
"Have a drink!" Everyone raised their glasses and celebrated loudly. The atmosphere is very warm. After Zhen Fan drank a few cups, he turned to look at Old Jack, and blinked: "Give me the car keys!"
Old Jack smiled, threw the car keys to Zhen Fan, and said loudly: "She is now in a military camp on the outskirts of Billings City. There is a refugee camp there. You can go there to find her. And... bring your mobile phone, I can't get through to your phone, I guess your mobile phone must be gone!"
Zhen Fan caught it as soon as he stretched out his hand, raised his hand at Old Jack, and walked out of the bar. Old Jack looked at him behind him with a smile on his face. He could tell that Zhen was a good person, and he was very kind. Capable, the most important thing is that he is very appetizing to him, and judging from Rachel's performance last night, she must have fallen in love with this guy.
That being the case, why not give him a chance? Maybe he can stay in Lecce in the future To be honest, Old Jack thinks that this is the most beautiful and best place in America. He doesn't want to go anywhere, he just wants to stay here until he dies and is buried here . (To be continued..) u
