In the early morning of the thirty-eighth day that Shuoyu and his men held the Nantian Gate,
When the hands on Ayi's watch turned to 12 o'clock, Shuoyu crawled into his operating room (morgue). When he came out, he was holding two or three cans in his arms. He was sure that everyone in the tree fort looked at him with green eyes in the faint moonlight.
No one spoke for a moment, only the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard.
But when the thirty-seven people except him swallowed their saliva at the same time, the sound was as loud as if a bomb had been dropped on them. No, it was just that he believed that the effect of the bomb was not as great as the effect of the cans in his arms at this moment.
Ayi was the one closest to him. He pointed at the thing in his arms and asked in disbelief what it was. Although they were very familiar with this thing, they still had to ask. What if it was wrong?
There were a few small holes on the top of their heads that were finally made by the Japanese's persistent artillery fire. This tree can really withstand space bombs. He did not answer Ayi's words, but just looked up at the small holes that let in light. He was very glad that they were the ones staying here now.
The cold light from the center of the moon fell in through the hole, little by little. He stretched out a hand to catch some of the moonlight and hold it in his arms, but he missed and caught nothing. He smiled.
Si La Si La is now holding dog meat. Since the Japanese artillery fire started, he has been keeping this posture and looking at the door without changing. After Master Mai, he became the second statue among them.
Shuo Yu didn't intend to keep them in suspense, for he was worried that they didn't even have the strength to open a can. He crawled over and fed them mouthful by mouthful with a fork, just like he did in the Burmese jungle. Each person was given a pitiful little bite, and before they could even taste what it tasted like, they wished they could swallow their tongues into their stomachs. Those who had tasted it regretted it and wanted to have another bite, while those who hadn't tasted it yet looked on eagerly, as impatient as a groom about to enter the bridal chamber.
Bu La looked at him with a look of "I knew you had something good" and with her small eyes.
"Banxian'er, I knew you were the smartest among us! You have a good thing, why didn't you bring it out earlier?"
"That's right, why do you still have canned food? That's so rude, so rude! Banxian'er, Brother Snake even took out a kitchen knife!"
"You're so careless, Banxian'er. Do you have any more of that?"
"Eat, eat, you can't stop eating." Shuo Yu looked at Mi Long who was yelling that he couldn't even fill the gaps between his teeth and hit him hard on the head, then moved on to the next one.
"You said you only gave each of us a small bite, and that's enough for everyone. You don't even feed a dog like that."
"That's right, that's right!"
"No more, just one bite each. After we get out of here, you can eat as much as you want. I won't care if you eat yourself to death!"
As soon as Shuo Yu finished speaking, he was met with a chorus of loud "Tsk!"s. They didn't believe it. They didn't believe they could get out of here alive, nor did they believe they could win, and they certainly didn't believe Banxian'er would ignore them.
When he rubbed his body against his own to crawl in front of Silasila, he had not forgotten the dog meat beside him. Those eyes that were still sparkling in the dark night looked at him, as if to say, you have found the right person to be my quartermaster!
Shuo Yu touched Gou Rou's big head, rubbed it twice, and fed the bite in his hand into its mouth. The second bite was from their leader. He just left without saying anything. He rarely spoke to Si La Si La except in that dark room.
He moved his body and continued to feed the can in his hand to Fanla, who was only two or three steps away from him. The guy bit the can into his mouth like a big boss without any hesitation. He looked at Zhang Lixian, who was holding a grenade in his clothes. This guy's method of hiding things was not as good as his, and his tail was exposed.
But even though Zhang Lixian looked like he was not very smart, he still said thank you to him politely. He looked at Zhang Lixian's distracted eyes, then looked at Fanla, motioning him to look at him.
Fanla was obviously not convinced. Perhaps this was really the most relaxed and free time in his life, so he stopped being stubborn because they were all going to die soon.
Fanla grabbed his head, letting the flakes of skin and hair in his hand scatter in the air, smacking the remaining taste of canned meat in his mouth, and said in a very leisurely tone,
"Hey, if you want to hear it, I can bury you in the word 'thank you' and everyone here will follow me. The key is, do you want to hear it?"
Shuo Yu thought about the scene and shook his head. He didn't do this just to hear those two words.
When he had ensured that everyone had a can of food in their stomachs and a bullet in their hands, he himself fell into a dead corner away from everyone and gasped silently.
Around three or four in the morning, the sky began to brighten outside, but everything seemed so dim and chaotic, and the sun was still hiding in the east and refused to come out, which meant that a new day had arrived.
The thick fog occupied the South Gate of Heaven before the sun. Six is an auspicious number.
He leaned against the cold cement wall, one hand pressed against the ground beneath his feet, and spoke to himself in a voice only he could hear.
"I found the answer."
“It feels good to have the answer.”
Then he reached out and untied the strips of cloth that had been constantly added to his body since the day he entered Nantianmen. One by one, one by one, it was impossible to tell what color the strips were originally. Now they were all the same color, and they slowly fell off his body, just like a butterfly breaking free from a white cocoon.
