Chapter 350 Guess
Xia Yan tried to ask: "Did they talk about something...unpleasant?"
Could it be that they are talking about Lin's missing daughter?
Xia Yan sat on the empty chair, carefully looked at the expression on Lin's face, and by the way, lifted the blockade that prohibited entry into the restaurant.
The elevator had already stopped at this floor and only made a 'ding' sound at this moment.
The transparent barrier in the nearby stairwell that prevented guests from entering quietly disappeared. The people crowded behind were not paying attention for a moment and rushed out with their center of balance leaning forward.
Almost hit the opposite wall.
"Why can't you come in? Huh? Boss Xia is here too?" Qi Hua and the others steadied themselves, looked at Lin and General Chu across from them, and quickly changed the subject, "You guys go ahead and do your work. We'll go downstairs to eat."
Xia Yan stopped him: "No need, it has been handled and the restaurant is open as usual."
Everyone then walked slowly in and swiped their cards to get their plates at the food counter.
Xia Yan noticed that Qi Hua and the others had thick dark circles under their eyes and were breathing heavily, so he knew that they had been staying up late last night to process supplies.
After a while, Sang Zhengyi, who came upstairs in the same state, confirmed her idea.
It seems that a lot of supplies were harvested yesterday. Could it be that Lin and Chu Wanfu were discussing this matter?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Lin say in a tired voice: "General Chu, ask the captain about everything. He knows everything."
Chu Wanfu: "You know that's not what I'm talking about."
Lin snorted hard, "I don't have the energy, and I won't cooperate with you. I'm not the only local living in this hotel! Besides, there are many things I don't know much about. Go find them!"
Chu Wanfu raised his chin helplessly and pointed at Xia Yan who was standing beside him. "She won't agree to let me come in and take the person away."
Xia Yan said, "Oh?" "Yes, that's a textbook idea. Maybe you can wait until they leave the hotel, then I won't be in charge."
Although everyone knows that by the time they take the initiative to go out, the opportunity will be gone.
Chu Wanfu looked at Lin again, "So, I can only ask you for cooperation."
Lin's face flushed, she gasped like an angry bull, her chest heaving violently.
"As expected, persimmons only pick on the weak! Me, me."
Chu Wanfu suddenly became serious. "Lin, we exist to protect the millions of people in need under our wings! Where we grow up, the pollution index of most of the land is seriously exceeded. Only a small amount of soil is suitable for sowing. But from planting seeds to taking root, sprouting, and growing food, there are too many variables in between!
Even if all laboratories, large and small, practice soilless cultivation 24 hours a day, the food produced is still a drop in the bucket and it is difficult to feed everyone.
The abundant supplies on this island can sustain countless lives. We must get ahead of the enemy and take away all the supplies as quickly as possible. If we have a guide to show us the way, it will be much easier!
Lin was silent.
Ten fingers entangled together.
Chu Wanfu glanced at Xia Yan and suddenly made a powerful statement: "I know you have a missing daughter. If she were still alive, but starved to death from lack of food, would you want to see that happen? If her base had enough food, she could trade her labor for food...
What you should feel sorry for is not that she will suffer, but that she can't find a job and will starve to death."
Lin's eyes widened immediately, her brown pupils filled with fear and pain.
Chu Wanfu knew that these words would irritate her, but it was the truth.
At the bottom of the dark and cold overpass, in the corners of the wall covered with ice and snow, and in the houses where people live together in the base, there are people who leave quietly all the time because they cannot get a single bite of life-saving food.
They may slowly rot, or freeze into popsicles, or be stripped of their clothes and thrown naked into a corner, used as tools to attract zombies and break out in the future.
Lin turned her head, her eyes were terrifyingly empty.
She said in a hoarse voice, as if squeezed out of her throat, "Boss Xia, I want to buy some food. Could you please send it to her?"
At that moment, she seemed to have aged ten years, and the white hair at the roots of her hair sprouted out.
What Xia Yan saw was the torment of a mother worried about her children.
She suddenly felt a little resentful of Fu Niang's ignorance. The fear of her children, who were afraid to approach with their feet closed, was buried in the dust amid her mother's day and night thoughts and her aging face.
But this is the path of life. Outsiders always think it is simple, as easy to see through as window paper, but in front of the person involved, it seems like an insurmountable mountain.
There is no way, you can only destroy it yourself.
Xia Yan looked at her in silence, and after a while he said, "Buy less."
A smile broke out on Lin's face.
Chu Wanfu looked back and forth between the two of them and had a plan in mind.
Lin's daughter is at the Yinshanling Base.
Combined with the last time, late at night, Boss Xia suddenly ran to the base and stayed at Fu Niang's house for a long time...
Chu Wanfu lowered his brows, thinking that Fu Niang should be Lin's daughter.
Most of the pain in Lin's heart was swept away. "General Chu, I agree to what you said. But I still have to follow Captain Sang during the day. When we come back, I will find you and tell you everything I know!"
Chu Wanfu smiled, "That's great."
Lin stood up, said hello to Qi Hua, and left in a hurry.
Only Xia Yan and Chu Wanfu were left at the table.
The two looked at each other.
Xia Yan: "Have you guessed who it is?"
Chu Wanfu: "Fu Niang."
Xia Yan wanted to ask him how he knew that, but then he remembered that he had been to the Yinshanling base twice and had basically never hidden his tracks. Anyone who was not stupid could guess it by association.
She still reminded: "Although that is your territory, I still want to say, don't force Fu Niang to come and recognize her relatives. She will come over by herself after she figures it out."
Chu Wanfu's eyes flashed with disapproval, but he agreed, "Don't worry, I won't mention Lin's matter."
The two people have different responsibilities and different thinking logic. In Chu Wanfu's view, as long as it does not affect his next goal plan, he will naturally respect Fu Niang's behavior.
But if the plan goes awry, personal opinions won't matter much when it comes to the survival of the survivors.
Xia Yan did not have these concerns. What came first was naturally his personal wishes.
A suffocating silence fell on the table again.
Because of the atmosphere between them, the entire restaurant was as silent as possible, even the chopsticks touching the plates and the teeth grinding the food.
"bite."
The elevator's warning sound was particularly deafening.
Lin rushed out with two large bags of food and ran over hurriedly. The sweat on her forehead and nose popped out countless small spots of light under the light.
"Boss Xia, please deliver these things to her."
From the packaging bags placed on the ground came the clinking sounds of bottles and cans colliding, and the rustling sounds of the packaging bags rubbing and squeezing against each other.
Lin's hands were left with deep red marks and her fingers had turned white. After putting the things down, they remained bent and could not be straightened.
Suddenly realizing that Boss Xia had asked her to buy less, she rubbed her palms in embarrassment to cover it up.
