As soon as He Sizhao came out of the tent, he saw Jiang Chuyi slumped in the tent next to him. Not only were dirty words coming out of her, but her little face was also pale.
There was no trace of arrogance or pride in her. Her face and eyes were filled with fear.
Although He Sizhao did not speak, the color in his eyes suddenly darkened.
Unlike the person behind him who was obviously at a loss, he stepped out, came to Jiang Chuyi, bent down, picked her up carefully, and then gently placed her on the ground.
Su Mo walked over and glanced at Jiang Chuyi casually. The light flashed from his glasses, obscuring the look in his eyes.
"Zhou Chao lives here." He said lightly.
"If he can't learn to be quiet, force him to shut up," said He Sizhao.
Jiang Chuyi stood aside quietly for a rare moment, his eyes wandering, not wanting to look anyone in the eye.
After knowing what kind of misunderstanding they had about her, looking at them again always gave her a strange feeling.
It can't be said to be uncomfortable, but it makes her feel like she is not herself anymore.
Wuyi immediately rushed into Zhou Chao's tent with his hands rubbed.
In a short while, the sound of bodies colliding and hoarse cries of pain were heard from inside.
Su Heng's expression was a little strange. Su Mo noticed it and said with a smile, "Since Brother Zhao said not to worry, then don't think too much about it, cousin."
Cousin?
Jiang Chuyi glanced dully at Su Mo, then at Su Heng.
Yes, they both have the surname Su, so it’s not surprising that they are related by blood.
Her dazed look was seen by those who claimed to have "guessed the truth" as her being frightened by Zhou Chao's harsh words and still not recovering from her shock.
Wen Xi and Su Heng secretly regretted: Xiaoyi is such a simple and timid child, how could they think that she would only be willful?
Jiang Chuyi was horrified to find that the way they looked at her seemed more... kinder.
He Sizhao was probably not used to interacting with a "vulnerable group" like Jiang Chuyi. He stared at her for a long time, and just as Zhou Chao cried out in pain, he said, "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Jiang Chuyi avoided his gaze and shook her head woodenly.
She didn't have a big appetite to begin with, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to endure two days of hunger.
He Shizhao didn't know what to say again.
Jiang Chuyi was under everyone's loving gaze, feeling like her arms were not arms and her legs were not legs, and nothing felt right no matter where she put them.
Fortunately, at this time Wuyi rubbed his wrist, lifted the curtain and walked out.
"Done." He said with a grin.
Jiang Chuyi casually glanced into the tent and saw Zhou Chao lying inside with his hands covering his face in pain. There was indeed a gap under the sleeping bag where his legs should have been.
She looked away without any emotion.
However, at the moment the curtain was lifted, Zhou Chao also saw her.
"It's you?" His pupils contracted and he straightened up to get closer. After seeing Jiang Chuyi's face clearly, his expression suddenly twisted, mixed with extreme jealousy and resentment.
"Is it really you? How are you still alive? How are you still alive and well!" He yelled like crazy, "I've fallen into this state, why are you still standing here with your hands and feet intact? I know, I know, Wen Xi, Su Heng, it's all your fault. You would rather protect this..."
Looking at the eyes around him that were attracted by the cursing, the corners of his mouth twitched unintentionally.
Among these gazes, he saw Jiang Chuyi also looking over.
Although he still couldn't control the urge to turn around and run, when he thought about her life experience that he had just guessed, his eyes almost filled with tears again due to his rich emotions.
He looked back at Jiang Chuyi expectantly, as if he was willing to go through fire and water for whatever she said.
This made Jiang Chuyi, who originally wanted to order the guy inside to be killed, swallow his words.
Seeing that her eyes were a little confused, He Sizhao stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to do something, but froze in mid-air.
Wen Xi didn't have so many concerns. She hugged Jiang Chuyi in her arms, and her distress was self-evident: "Xiaoyi, ignore him, he is a lunatic."
Jiang Chuyi was held in the woman's warm embrace and blinked in confusion: "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Several people looked at her.
"No one has ever looked at me like that." She said whatever she thought. When she thought about why they looked at her like that, her face showed obvious disgust. "Put it away! Don't look at me like that."
In an instant, a surge of pity surged from the hearts of several people and turned into a sea.
Her meaning was clear enough.
If those people hid her and raised her in the hope that she could be sold for a good price in the future, how could they have any kind eyes on her?
Jiang Chuyi's words actually confirmed their guess.
And her arrogant and commanding tone can no longer make people feel disgusted.
"What's going on, Wuyi? Is this the result of your handling?" Su Mo still smiled gently, and leisurely stroked the long hair beside his ears, "If you can't do it, let me do it."
"You can't do that, and neither can your whole family!" Wuyi jumped up as if someone had been stabbed in the tailbone. He turned around and went back to the tent with a fierce look, "I don't want to be too ruthless. I don't want to be too ruthless. I'm giving you face, right?"
Boom.
There was a fierce collision head-on, and the sound stopped abruptly. Zhou Chao's eyes became dull and he fell to the ground.
Jiang Chuyi suddenly felt bored.
The original anger or irritation disappeared, and she felt as if she had entered a Buddhist state. Looking at these people, she always felt like she was dreaming.
"I'm hungry. Go get me something to eat." She tore Wen Xi off her body and ordered expressionlessly, not at all embarrassed about having just said she wasn't hungry and now ordering someone around. "Send it to the tent we were in."
Without even looking at anyone else, she turned around and returned the same way she came.
After she left, Su Mo touched his chin and leaned towards He Sizhao: "Brother Zhao, she seemed to be sleeping in your tent just now, right? What are you going to do tonight? Do you want me and Wuyi to take you in?"
He Sizhao glanced at him, turned around and stopped Wen Xi who was going to the food area: "I'll do it."
…
When He Sizhao opened the curtain of his tent and walked in, Jiang Chuyi suddenly raised his head and looked over, his eyes as fierce as a small animal defending its territory.
He Sizhao paused and subconsciously lowered his voice: "Don't be afraid, I'll bring you food."
Jiang Chuyi didn't expect that this guy would come to her. She moved her fingers, but still couldn't gather the energy to break the neck of the rumor maker.
"Bring it to me," she said reluctantly.
The quality of this dish was the same as the one she had before falling asleep. It was fragrant and of such high quality that Jiang Chuyi, who was not very hungry, felt her stomach growl.
As for the cans of food in front of her that smelled of meat, she simply ignored them.
He Sizhao's eyes trembled as he watched Jiang Chuyi pick up food with his chopsticks without any method. He tried to soften his tone to make himself sound less cold and harsh: "Next time, if you are hungry, you can tell me anytime. You don't have to endure it."
A faint sadness and anger rose in his heart.
Looking at the girl's thin appearance, one can tell to what extent those beasts have withheld her food.
Not only did they only give her vegetables to eat, they didn't even let her eat her fill, and she couldn't even tell them if she was hungry.
At this moment, his determination to destroy Shouli Tea House was stronger than ever.
Hearing his words, Jiang Chuyi's outstretched chopsticks froze. She wanted to say something, but in order not to reveal her identity, she found that there was really nothing to say.
She swallowed her food silently and decided to ignore this annoying guy.
Watching her eat the food bite by bite, without even looking at the canned meat that everyone in the apocalypse was craving for, He Sizhao gently pushed the can towards Jiang Chuyi.
The fishy smell of meat hit her head. She obviously didn't want to eat it, but this man still insisted on getting close to her. With new hatred and old grudges added to it, she suddenly became furious.
With a bang, she slapped the can of food closest to her away and said, "If you want to eat, eat it yourself. Don't disgust me here!"
If He Sizhao was not here at this moment, the can of food would have been knocked over and might have splashed all over him.
However, as soon as the can flew out, He Sizhao, who was gifted with speed, reached out his hand nimbly and grabbed the can steadily.
Hearing Jiang Chuyi's words, He Shizhao's brows moved slightly, and he seemed quite moved.
He looked at the can in his hand, and his voice became softer, mixed with a bit of pity: "Don't worry about me, I've eaten."
Jiang Chuyi almost choked himself.
She glared at He Sizhao fiercely and decided not to talk to this guy with abnormal thinking.
He Sizhao was not angry either. He stared at Jiang Chuyi patiently as she finished her meal and asked her, "We will leave here tomorrow. Are you willing to go with us? Leave those..."
Someone who hurt you.
He was shocked to realize that saying this would remind Jiang Chuyi of those bad memories, so he swallowed the words back temporarily.
Jiang Chuyi nodded with a serious face.
Although she hated He Sizhao, she had not forgotten that he was an unstable element.
After all, he is obedient and comfortable to ride on, so there is nothing wrong with following him even if it is just to monitor him.
Seeing that she agreed so readily, He Sizhao's eyes flashed with joy. He packed up the lunch box and stood up: "You rest here tonight, I won't be back."
Jiang Chuyi crawled directly into the sleeping bag, leaving He Sizhao with a dark back of his head.
He Sizhao looked at her, a faint smile in his eyes.
He left the tent and closed the curtain around her.
It took a day to settle the wounded, and the next day, they set off on time as He Shizhao had said.
The car leading the way was still He Sizhao's. Because Jiang Chuyi was still asleep, He Sizhao picked her up and put her in the back seat.
He himself sat next to her.
Wu Yi was still driving, but the passenger seat was taken by Su Mo. Wen Xi had no objection to these three people protecting Jiang Chuyi at the same time, so he and Su Heng got into the next car.
Jiang Chuyi's sleep was exceptionally long.
She woke up once in the middle of the night, just asked for some water, and then closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
He Sizhao frowned, but after Su Mo checked her and said that she was indeed just sleeping, he had to put his mind at ease for the time being.
Before joining the special forces, Su Mo graduated from Capital Military Medical University and his professional ability is convincing.
They passed by a small town on the way, and He Shizhao made a quick decision to go in and replenish supplies.
The combat effectiveness of the special forces team is beyond words compared to ordinary people. There were not many people in the town to begin with, and they crushed their way in. No zombie could escape their attack.
After He Sizhao signaled to stop, everyone dispersed and searched for supplies in teams.
Jiang Chuyi looked listless, with his eyes closed as if he was sleeping, and He Sizhao didn't stay too far away from the car.
He looked around casually and entered a building.
After a few sounds of zombies being beaten, he walked out as if nothing had happened, returned to the car, and carefully sat back next to Jiang Chuyi.
He looked so cold and righteous that it was impossible to guess what he had been doing.
Everyone quickly gathered all the supplies and returned to the car to set off.
Wuyi continued to drive carelessly, and because Jiang Chuyi was sleeping, he didn't even say a word.
Su Mo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, felt something was wrong and glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror.
He Sizhao took out a book from somewhere and was studying it seriously with a cold and righteous look on his face.
Su Mo glanced at the title of the book calmly.
——"Guide to Getting Along with Stray Cats".
