Fanla took the food to the living dead Banxianer and Little Tail who were lying motionless on the bed. When he came out, he had two cans of food in his pocket, as well as the whiskey that Collins had stolen from Master Mac, which was now tricked into his pocket.
He saw their leader lying on a roof they had built. There was a ladder next to him, so he climbed up. Halfway up, the ladder started shaking and almost shook him off. Meng Fanle quickly said that he had brought some good things, and the ladder stopped moving again.
He swung the wine and canned food in his hand, but all of them were rejected by Si La. A guy who usually enjoyed eating shit, couldn't even taste anything good in his mouth today. Meng Fanle had to eat by himself with a depressed look on his face. His head inevitably looked towards the South Heaven Gate, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything. While eating the canned beef in his mouth, he had to look at the white clouds in the sky with their crazy leader.
Suddenly a sentence came,
"Captain, do you think Banxian'er will die?"
"Do you wish him dead?"
"Why would I want him dead, you bastard?"
"Since you don't want him to die, don't say such depressing things. Maybe he just fell asleep because he's too tired. Honestly, if I could, I'd also like to have a good sleep. It would be best if everything would be over when I wake up."
"How can it be so good?"
"Yeah, it's not that good! Damn cripple, look, it's going to rain!"
On an afternoon when I was desperate because my gun was dirty and I had no food to eat, clouds piled up on both sides of the Nujiang River, blocking out the sunlight completely without a single gap. The sky was as dark as if the sun had disappeared, and the hot and humid air made it hard to breathe.
Thunder rumbled incessantly not far away, rumbling with every word people spoke.
Fanla and Sila were lying on the roof together, looking at the clouds in the sky. They were two fools who didn't know where to hide when it was about to rain.
A pitiful voice came from the other end of the ladder that Meng Fanle had climbed up. It was the veterinarian.
"I'm so annoyed, so annoyed, are you up there? I heard you yelling in here."
Meng Fanle held his can of beef, stuck his head out, looked at the old man standing on the ground, and beckoned him to come up and drink and eat meat together, but then he was rejected for the second time today.
"It's strange today. Young Master finally showed some kindness today, but no one appreciated it?"
Meng Fanle squinted his eyes and looked at the wrinkled old man below. He didn't know what was wrong with him recently. They all looked weird, as if they had been pierced in the head by American pins.
Fanla asked the old man to come up, and the old man asked Fanla to go down.
Looking at the lonely figure who looked like an old dog, he was so thin and bony. Meng Fan left his cans of food and whiskey to Si La Si La, put them in his pocket, and followed Veterinarian Hao along the ladder to see what he was going to do.
Fanla followed the veterinarian around and around, wondering where he was. Was it the quiet place the old man had mentioned? He just watched the old man turning his head and starting to look for the key, a key he didn't know what it was used for. But this time, the confused old man said a little more.
"Hey, where are my keys? Have you seen my keys? My keys are gone again."
Fanla looked at the old man and simply used the old trick again, lying to him that the key was in his hand and he would open the door for him when the time came.
"I know you're not a good kid. Give it to me, give it to me?"
Meng was annoyed and hid himself. He felt that the old man was getting confused again, so he went up to him and asked him if he still knew who he was.
"You little kid, are you kidding your dad? How could I not recognize you? You are my son, little monkey, little toad. I told you not to join the army, but you insisted on joining. Now you have grown up and joined the army, but you still don't come home."
Fanla was a little suspicious that the old man was taking advantage of him, but no one in the world would take advantage of others like this, with such sweetness and complaints. Those eyes that he could never see clearly were now warm enough to make his heart feel comfortable.
He only has one father who is not very much like a father. If possible, he wants the father in front of him.
Finally, the two of them came to the place where Meng Fanle had just woken up and kowtowed to the Nantianmen with a mound of earth. The mound was still there. Meng Fanle took a look at it, then looked at Old Man Hao who was muttering to the beat of gongs and drums. He kicked the mound apart to destroy the evidence, then stepped on it twice more.
"Come, sit down, please take a seat!"
A tree root that had been chopped down to a small wooden chop became the "seat of honor". In this place that was lucky enough to have never been hit by artillery shells from the other side, the veterinarian secretly took out a bag of goodies from his arms - a few pieces of candy.
He held it in front of Fanla as if coaxing a child.
"Okay, let's talk about something serious."
