"Uncle Jing, can we take a break for a while?" An Yu's soft and aggrieved voice sounded, pulling Gu Xunjing back from his memories.
An Yuxin was five years old at this time, which means that Luo Ye had been dead for five years.
Today is An Yuxin's birthday. She knows that this day is special because of the beautiful and incredible woman sleeping at the bottom of the lake in the base. Her mother said that she is the greatest person, and because of her, they have the life they have now.
She knew it since she could remember. Her name was chosen by her and she liked it very much, so she always called her Aunt Ye.
Gu Xunjing stood up and looked at the little boy who was sweating profusely while doing horse stance. His cold heart softened and he waved to An Yuxin, "Come and have a rest!"
An Yuxin stood up instantly and ran to Gu Xunjing's side. She looked energetic and seemed like a completely different person. "Uncle Jing, tell me more about Aunt Ye! I want to hear more. I can never get tired of it!"
"You little devil!" Gu Xunjing tapped An Yuxin's forehead, then began to recall little by little, and then told it out loud.
When Lan Ling arrived here, he saw this scene and a smile appeared on his face.
After experiencing the end of the world and five years of tempering in the zombie world, the years have smoothed out Lan Ling's edges, and Lan Ling's cheeks have become softer. Without disturbing the two, Lan Ling leaned against the tree trunk and listened quietly, with scenes from the past emerging before his eyes.
"Well - Aunt Ye is so great! It would be great if I could meet her. Aunt Ye must have been in tremendous pain every day at that time. I feel so sorry for Aunt Ye." Unlike the past, this time An Yuxin expressed his thoughts after listening, which made the two people next to him feel heartbroken.
"Come and have dinner!" Zhang Huihui stood at the door and shouted loudly towards the three people.
An Yuxin put aside her previous sadness, jumped up from the ground, ran over and hugged Zhang Huihui's legs, "Aunt Huihui, what delicious food did you make today?"
Zhang Huihui picked up An Yuxin and walked into the house, chatting with An Yuxin as she walked, completely ignoring the other two.
It has been like this for the past five years, and everyone seems to have gotten used to Zhang Huihui's attitude. But every time at this time, there is an indescribable heartache. After Luo Ye's death, all of them are no longer the same as before!
When Luo Ye died, Zhang Huihui was still on a mission outside. When she came back with an incredible and beautiful rose, the entire base was hung with white sails. Only then did she realize that the girl had been dead for almost five or six days.
Later, she planted the rose by the lake, and then knelt there for three days and three nights. She fainted and was sent back. From that day on, Zhang Huihui changed. She became unsociable, except for An Yuxin.
"Everyone is here, let's eat!" When Bai Qianqian and Shi Yue came out with the plates, everyone had already arrived and was sitting around the table.
"No, not everyone is here yet, and Eserqi hasn't come back yet." Gu Xunjing's tone was a little heavy.
It has been more than half a year since Eserqi left and there has been no news of him. Some time ago, someone said that they saw him. Although he had lost a lot of weight, he was still in good condition, which made them feel relieved.
But after all, there is one person missing, and I feel like something is missing.
Looking at Zhang Huihui who was sitting alone and chatting with An Yuxin, Bai Qianqian sighed and walked over. She pulled her to the dining table with a firm attitude and pressed Zhang Huihui's shoulders to force her to sit down.
"It's been five years since the incident. Why can't we look forward to it? Is this how you repay the captain?" Bai Qianqian took a deep breath.
"Nothing is insurmountable. Five years have passed. Let some things go! Let go of yourself. The leader definitely doesn't want us to become like this. Let go of yourself and breathe the new air that the leader brings us, okay?" Bai Qianqian almost burst into tears as she spoke.
"Mom, don't cry." An Yuxin is still young and doesn't understand many things.
But she knew that on this day every year, most people in the base were very sad, especially the uncles and aunts who were close to her, so she behaved very well on this day.
An Yi couldn't help but feel sad when he saw his wife sad, and kept comforting her.
The atmosphere here fell into silence. On the other side, Eserqi and Baozi stood on an abandoned high-rise building, looking in the direction of the symbiotic base with Baozi.
"It's that time again, miss, you know? We really miss you!"
"Awoo~" Baozi yelled in unison with Eslerqi.
"Let's go!" Eserqi touched Baozi's smooth fur, and the man and the beast disappeared on the roof.
The base was illuminated by fire at night.
Whether adults, children or the elderly, everyone had a different expression and held an exquisite lantern in their hands, the flames illuminating the entire lake.
Lanterns were lowered into the lake one by one, without anyone making a sound.
When all the lanterns were released, the lake became extremely beautiful. Everyone took a deep breath and looked at the center of the lake where a melodious song slowly began to sound.
This song took the children a long time to write after they heard about Luo Ye's deeds. The lyrics are not very gorgeous, but the whole song tells of Luo Ye's greatness and his life, which makes the listeners cry and the hearers sad.
The lonely Eslki also sang the same song at the same time.
After the song was finished, several women came forward holding their children and stood at the front.
In the past five years, many new lives have been added to the base, and the one standing in the front now is the one who just gave birth this year.
They will receive blessings from everyone at the beginning of their lives.
The beautiful and sad night ended at midnight, and everyone returned to their homes. The strange thing was that at this time of year, the newborn babies would not cry.
Even the most crybaby children on weekdays were unusually quiet that night, which made everyone feel incredible.
"I'm leaving now. I'll come see you guys when I have time. Let me know if you need anything." The next afternoon, Lan Ling was about to return to the zombie world and said goodbye to everyone before leaving.
"We are still a family, and you are always welcome to come back here."
The knot was finally untied, and everyone's relationship seemed to have returned to the way it was at the beginning.
Lan Ling looked back, and then everyone's eyes were on Zhang Huihui, waiting for her answer.
"You're welcome to come back anytime." Finally, Zhang Huihui let go of the resentment in her heart, and her eyes became clear. Perhaps it was time to let go.
The base and the world are getting better, and we are getting better.
