Chapter 29 (2/2)
”How have you been these years?” Tong Liya put her head on Li Xinyan's shoulder and asked.
”Did we know each other before?” Li Xinyan is puzzled, holds Tong Liya's shoulder, moves her face in front of him, asks.
Tong Liya looked at him and said nothing.
It's getting dark, a fire is burning on the beach, and wild birds are singing in the valley, which makes it ethereal and deep. Tong Liya is holding two branches in her hand. There are two fish on the branches. Although there is no seasoning, the smell of grilled fish is getting stronger and stronger.
”You're... A nurse, but it looks like you're going to make something delicious.” Li Xinyan tried. Tong Liya didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say.
Tong Liya finally looked up and threw a smile at Li Xinyan, saying: ”do you think... What you eat at the base tastes good?”
”All right.” Li Xinyan replied, ”everyone eats the same food, and it doesn't feel like much. Although there isn't much meat, the Logistics Department of the action team still has a lot of means. It can make vegetables very well, so it feels like it's still very good to eat. For the first time here, I found that the roots of some plants can also be eaten, which I never thought about in base 766. ”
Tong Liya said, ”what do you mainly eat at base 766?”
”Sometimes the food rationed is better than the food eaten in the base. There are mountains and forests, few people are there, and there are many wild animals, so life is not bad. ”
”You seem to like life there?” Asked Tong Liya.
”Well, it's not. Although the food there is better, it's boring to stay there for eight years. People, after all, are social animals. ” Li Xinyan replied.
Tong Liya's face looks sad again. Guessing that his words might have touched her mind, Li Xinyan immediately changed the topic: ”however, life in the base is also good. It's better to have a hospital here than on the mountain. If you are injured here, someone can treat you. If you are injured on the mountain, you can only carry it on your own... You see, there are female nurses in the base. When we were on the mountain, we only had soldiers, Each other bandages the wound, the hand is very heavy, can't compare with the nurse in the hospital to come lighter
Tong Liya looked at the roast fish and said with a smile, ”are we light handed?” However, her tone seemed to be talking to herself.
”Of course.” Li Xinyan caught Tong Liya's hand and looked into her eyes. What he said was that the fire was burning in his eyes.
