Qi Jin is the veteran’s first grandson. He has been very sensible since he was a child and is closest to the veteran.
After the acid rain at the end of the world, the old soldier took Qi Jin to the mountains to find food and accidentally discovered the strange tree with fruits.
In order to avoid danger, they did not approach the Luan tree rashly.
It was the yellow dog in the house that stole the fruits from the Koelreuteria tree and gave them to Qi Jin when they were not paying attention, which woke him up.
Later, Huang Gou carried their family into the mountains several times, but he only came back with fruits twice, which he gave to Qi Jin to eat.
Until the end, the yellow dog disappeared, and Qi Jin burst into tears. He said that he saw the yellow dog at home being eaten by the strange tree...
The old soldier talked about Qi Jin for a long time, and finally fell silent.
The room fell into a long silence.
"Life and death are unpredictable in the end times. I can't guarantee that Qi Jin won't encounter danger while following me, but I promise to try my best to avoid it." Nan Muran had been listening quietly to the old soldier's uncharacteristic chattering.
He spoke calmly only at the end.
The old soldier looked at Nan Muran in surprise: "Thank you."
"I may do a lot of dangerous things in the future, and Qi Jin's mental prediction ability is very important to me. I will make his ability stronger, but I will also take him to struggle on the brink of life and death.
You may be worried, but this is the fate of children like Qi Jin in the last days." Nan Muran looked into the old soldier's eyes with a sincere tone.
The veteran naturally understood that what Nan Muran said was true. Qi Jin's ability was too strange. He couldn't protect himself, and he couldn't protect him either. There were only two options left: either he would be tortured into stupidity, or he would be used by someone with ulterior motives.
Compared to other people, this honest and straightforward girl in front of him made him feel more at ease.
Well, there really is no better choice.
After the old soldier left, Si Ye and the other two returned to the house immediately.
"Worried?" Jiawu looked at Nan Muran.
"He's just a twelve-year-old child. It's strange to be at ease with him." Eagle sighed. For a moment, he even missed his family. He wondered how his parents and brother and sister-in-law were doing.
Knowing what Lao Ying was thinking, Si Ye patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Eagle, where are you from?" Nan Muran suddenly asked.
She knew that Lao Ying was a sentimental person. Since they were soldiers of the same year, she would stand behind Si Ye without hesitation at critical moments.
He even stood beside her with Si Ye. Naturally, she would not be stingy with her kindness towards such a partner.
"From Lan City."
Hearing this answer, Nan Muran took out a map from the backpack beside her and found one of the five fruit trees near Lan City: "See how far this location is from your home.
You can go back and take a look then."
Looking at the location more than a hundred kilometers away from home, Eagle nodded excitedly.
I haven't been home for three years. I don't know what has happened to my family since the end of the world. For some reason I feel nervous.
Si Ye and Jia Wu couldn't help but sigh when looking at him. They and Nan Muran were all lonely people walking in this world, without any worries or concerns.
No, Jiawu still has his wife Baimei. Himself? He also has Nan Muran.
"Let's pack up and rest early. We have to travel early tomorrow morning." As Nan Muran spoke, she took out eight fruits from the space, four orange-red fruits from the Koelreuteria tree, and four black-red fruits from the big tree.
At the same time, he took out a lot of low-level crystal cores that he got from Principal Wang in the town and distributed them to everyone to help them recover.
Old Eagle looked at Nan Muran and Si Ye and said, "Sister Nan, have you picked all the remaining fruits on the Luan tree?"
"About all." Si Ye said calmly.
The Eagle sighed, well, Jiawu had good vision, as expected, the two of them were more powerful when working together than eight of them.
"After eating the fruit and absorbing the crystal core, go to bed early." Nan Muran took her fruit and crystal core and turned into the small space where the bed was placed.
The house arranged for them by the veterans' family was very big.
The middle is separated by a floor-to-ceiling wardrobe, making it look like a suite.
Nan Muran lived directly in the small partition with a bed inside.
After the three of them finished eating the fruit and absorbing all the energy, they each found a suitable place on the sofa to rest.
It's very special to say, except for the fact that everyone felt unbearable pain in their bodies after eating Xiaobai's fruit, after eating the subsequent fruits, no one felt any abnormality in their bodies.
The sky was getting darker and darker. At night, in the pitch-black farmyard, some people were sleeping soundly, while others had worried looks on their faces.
The veteran's family helped Qi Jin pack his luggage while crying silently.
Since the end of the world, all means of communication have gradually become ineffective. Once separated, the road ahead is long and it is very difficult to see each other again.
"Dad, I heard from Captain Han today that there is a safe base at the foot of the Xishan Mountains. Why don't we go there to settle down?" The middle-aged man pulled up the suitcase and said tentatively.
The veteran looked at the white mountains outside and sighed. It was not easy to get to the safe base.
There are more than a dozen households in the whole village with a total of fifty or sixty people, more than half of whom are elderly and children. In this familiar place in the mountains, they can barely fill their stomachs and survive.
Go to the base? Firstly, the journey is too long and dangerous, and secondly, how are these people who don't have any skills going to survive?
In another room, Han Yingting looked at the flickering candlelight in the old soldier's house and felt more and more uneasy: "I'll go find Miss Nan."
"You want to send them back to the safe base?" After hearing this, Eagle wanted to pry open Han Yingting's brain. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that life in this village was more comfortable than outside.
