Lin Yuan was taken back to Dongbin Post by Shen Fei and his party.
Her return was welcomed warmly by the audience.
There is no treatment cabin in Dongbin, and not every outpost has such high-tech medical equipment.
With a bandage still wrapped around his arm, Xiaoniao ran down the stairs and hugged Lin Yuan with the only arm he could move.
"Yuanyuan." The bird buried its head in Lin Yuan's shoulder. Lin Yuan patted her back, but she didn't move.
"I thought I left you there too." The voice was thin and tinny.
The bird's mother, relatives and childhood friends were all left in that polluted area by her when she was still very young.
This is a permanent thorn in her heart.
She held Lin Yuan still, Shen Fei coughed heavily to remind the bird to pay attention. After all, you are a sentinel, and he is a guide, a guide from the White Tower.
Lin Yuan had no choice but to say, "Isn't this all right?"
When the bird finally let her go, Lin Yuan found that there was a small wet spot on her shoulder.
It was a small water stain, not painful or itchy, and shouldn't have mattered much. But Lin Yuan always felt as if something was left on his shoulder.
After walking a few steps, he looked down. After walking a few steps, he looked again.
If I really died in there, she would cry even more sadly, right
If I die, there will be people in this world who will be sad and cry. And there won't be just one person, maybe several people will cry for me.
Thinking of this scene, Lin Yuan suddenly felt happy for some reason. The corners of her mouth began to curl up.
Seeing that she was in a good mood and no longer as cold as before, Shen Fei invited her to his house for dinner tomorrow.
"It's nothing fancy, not even a family dinner, but it's lively and fun. They all come to my house often."
Shen Fei is the sentry leader of Dongbin, but his home is not spacious. Several tall and strong sentries squeezed into the living room, leaving them with little room to turn around.
Lin Yuan’s kitchen is much bigger than this living room.
But Lin Yuan felt that it was quite good to be crowded like this, and it seemed more comfortable than staying in his empty home.
She was arranged in the most comfortable position, with a soft single sofa padded with pillows, a small blanket on her legs to cover her feet, and a cup of hot fruit tea in her hand.
Golden-haired Rachel also placed a small vase in front of her, in which were placed a few evening primroses that had just been cut from the branches.
Lin Yuan was a small one, sinking into the sofa, holding a steaming mug in her snow-white and delicate hands, with half of her face hidden behind the lavender petals of the evening primrose, like the moon in the clouds.
Isn't it the Moon, the precious guide from the White Tower, who came here without any airs, and saved the lives of several brothers without hesitation. Everyone is willing to take care of her like the Moon.
"Are you the guide from the White Tower?" A little girl of four or five years old showed her face from behind Rachel's legs.
He looked at Lin Yuan with his round eyes, feeling a little nervous.
The little girl was wearing a cleanly washed skirt, a white lace bib, two black braids, a small hairpin on her head, and holding a small doll made of scraps of cloth in her hands.
At first glance, you can tell that although his family is not very wealthy, he is a child who is loved by his parents.
Lin Yuan doesn't like this kind of child who lives a happy life and doesn't want to pay attention to her.
The little girl came over, took one of the two rabbit-shaped lollipops in her hand and handed it to him, "Do you want a lollipop? This is made by my mother."
She was a little nervous, because she knew that most "adults" didn't like sweets, and the sentinel brothers and sisters who came to visit her home would never actually eat her candy.
Who would have thought that the guide sister who looked cold at first stared at the lollipop in her hand for a while, and finally opened her mouth and took away the golden rabbit-shaped candy.
The little girl relaxed when she saw that her snacks were accepted.
"My name is Xiaoyuan." She came closer to Lin Yuan, "Is it delicious? My mother and I made it with maltose and added osmanthus flowers."
Lin Yuan licked the candy in his mouth. The sweet taste of malt was mixed with the rich fragrance of osmanthus. It was delicious.
The two girls, one big and one small, became close friends. Xiaoyuan brought her own snack jar and shared it with Linyuan.
This one is a honey biscuit, and that one is a purple candy. Lin Yuan’s cheeks were bulging from eating so much.
"My mother usually doesn't let me eat like this." Xiaoyuan was also very happy, "Today it's because you came. Thanks to you, my mother said that as long as you want to eat, you can take out anything."
Xiaoyuan stuck to Lin Yuan and told her everything.
We have been waiting for you to come.
My dad didn’t sleep well for several nights because he was worried that you wouldn’t come.
The day you cured Rachel's brother, Dad came back and cried secretly with joy.
This doll is newly made for me by my mother and it looks pretty good.
While eating, everyone put food into Lin Yuan's bowl, making it so piled high that it almost touched his nose.
Shen Fei knocked on the table: "You should be more polite. How can you not know any etiquette? How can Guide Lin eat?"
After saying that, he wanted to buy Lin Yuan a new bowl.
Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and covered the bowl in front of him to protect his food.
Are you kidding? This bowl is filled with the best of every dish on the table. No one can take anything away from her.
The sentinels naturally had to drink wine when they ate. The wine was homemade rice wine from Shen Fei's family, which was sweet and strong.
Lin Yuan also wants to drink.
Rachel poured her a small cup and said, "Just taste a little."
He was afraid that the guide from the White Tower might not be used to the strong liquor here.
"I'll just drink a little." Lin Yuan took a sip and licked his lips.
[Wow.]
[ah]
[nice one]
[Let me try it]
All the tentacles came out at once.
Da Hu stood up and raised his glass to Lin Yuan, "Guide Lin, there is nothing else to say, it's all in the wine."
Lin Yuan had a drink with him.
The bird raised his glass, and she drank happily.
"This wine has a strong aftereffect. Guide Lin may not be used to it. Everyone, don't force her to drink it." Deputy Captain Rachel held the bottle and refused to pour it. He advised Lin Yuan, "Don't drink it."
"I'll just drink a little more." said Lin Yuan.
As the night deepened, the sentries at the table - the tall and strong Da Hu, the golden-haired Rachel, and the capable and sturdy Xiao Niao - all fell down drunk.
Only Lin Yuan was still holding the cup, eyes sparkling, sitting there.
The tentacles, their skin moist and contented, moved around under the table. One of them found a jar of wine, pried open the lid, and dove in.
After the guests left, Shen Fei, who was helping his wife clean up the house, asked his wife, "What do you think of Guide Lin?"
She recalled some rumors she had heard about this guide from her mother's family and sighed.
"There are actually people who despise a girl like this. I really hope she can stay with us and not go back to a place like Kyoto where people are eaten."
"Who said it wasn't?" Shen Fei muttered.
Lin Yuan lived very comfortably at the Dongbin outpost and almost didn't want to leave.
The little bird often took her flying around, and they crossed high cliffs just to pick a flower on the cliff.
Xiaomu would sometimes invite her to dive to the bottom of the sea to catch fish. The two shared vision and brought back many beautiful sea pearls.
Every time Da Hu went to patrol the area, he would bring her some delicious food. One day he brought back a jar, and when Lin Yuan opened it, she saw that it was amber wild honey. It was so sweet.
She provided spiritual counseling to every sentry here, and she felt that she was becoming more and more adept at it.
Clearing away those negative emotions that have accumulated for years in the mental picture is as quick and easy as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Each time, the treatment is completed accurately, quickly and easily.
Just as Rachel was about to go to the counseling treatment room, he met Da Hu coming out and asked him, "How do you feel? Guide Lin's treatment."
"Brother, give me a hand." Da Hu put one hand on Rachel's shoulder and buried his head in the captain's golden braids, sobbing, "My legs are so weak from fear."
When the sentries were training, Lin Yuan would lie at the window of the treatment room and watch.
Rachel came up and invited her.
"Do you want to learn how to use a knife?" He had a very beautiful short knife in his hand, and he turned his wrist and made a set of neat knife moves.
"You want to teach me this?" Lin Yuan widened his eyes.
When she was in the Guide Academy, she once applied for a knife-fighting class, which caused the whole class to burst into laughter.
"You're so funny."
"That's a Sentinel course."
"What kind of knife skills does the guide learn?"
"You might consider learning how to use knife skills in cooking."
But here, no one says that.
Rachel placed the handle of the knife in her palm and taught her how to hold it.
"I think you should be able to learn it." The sentry with long golden hair lowered his head to teach her, his braids hanging down from his side. "If you want, I can teach you everything I know."
He stood in horse stance, his knife hidden behind his back, his expression became serious, "We start from the basics, we must practice every day."
Lin Yuan held the knife a little awkwardly and lowered his body weight as he did so.
The sentinels will do their best to protect the guide, but Rachel feels that no matter how much protection they provide, it is better to learn how to protect yourself. Even if you can't become as strong as the sentinels, it is better than relying entirely on others.
This is the tenderness that belongs only to the Sentinel.
It is people like them who live on the line between life and death and know what the real abyss looks like that have the most sincere desire to repay.
Roy from the Special Research Department called several times, "You've been out for too long. When do you plan to come back? No one is sent abroad and never comes back. I can't cover for you."
Lin Yuan hummed: "Another day or two."
When setting out to the contaminated area, everyone would want to invite Lin Yuan.
"Are you going or not? The daylight time in contaminated area No. 103 is almost up. We want to go in." The bird squatted in front of Lin Yuan and asked.
So among the group of strong and sturdy sentinels, there was a petite guide.
While waiting outside the entrance to the contaminated area, I encountered sentries coming from other posts.
The other party saw Lin Yuan in the team, whistled and laughed at the leader Rachel.
"Captain Lei, I think you were tortured by monsters and your brain is distorted. Why did you bring such a delicate guide into the contaminated area?"
"Brain deformed" is the most offensive curse the sentries use.
This man was ready to fight when he spoke. The sentinels all had bad tempers, and these guys from Dongbin were famous for protecting their own children.
Who would have thought that the few Dongbin sentries surrounding their guide would not retort, but would all look at him with a look of pity.
The shameless sentry didn't understand what was going on and entered the contaminated area muttering to himself.
He didn't know why, but this trip was not going well for him at all. Although this was a familiar old area and it was daytime, he did stupid things for no apparent reason several times. He either suddenly lost focus and fell, or accidentally provoked the monsters in the restricted area.
As a result, the whole team came out empty-handed and covered in dust, and he himself was injured.
When I came out, I ran into those people from Dongbin again. I don’t know what kind of good luck those damn guys had, but they reaped such a rich harvest that it was enviable.
Da Hu and Rachel were carrying a new type of treatment cabin, and Xiao Niao was holding a pulse gun in his hand.
He glanced at them smugly as he passed by them.
It's so infuriating.
Not only was the team unharmed, but the petite guide in the team didn't even have a speck of mud on her face, and she was holding a brand new rag doll in her hand.
Instead of taking something good when entering the contaminated area, he took toys that only children would want.
Only a delicate creature like the Guide would do such a stupid thing, the sentinel thought jealously.
For some reason, the expressionless guide seemed to have heard what was in his heart. When he was complaining in his heart, he suddenly looked over here and gave him a cold glance.
For some reason his legs went weak and he fell again.
What bad luck is this!
When getting in the car, Xiao Niao saw Lin Yuan sitting on her special cushion and playing with the doll in her hand, and thought it was very cute.
"Yuanyuan, do you like this?"
Lin Yuan flipped the soft toy in his hand and said, "I don't really like it. I have a lot of them at home."
"You saw it and rushed over to get it." Xiaoniao laughed, "We thought you were going to pick up some treasure and got nervous."
Lin Yuan stopped talking, propped up his chin and looked at the scenery outside the car window.
It was still autumn when we arrived, and the beach was full of people. The land had frozen and everything had become bleak.
Finally it was time to go back.
The next morning.
Xiaoyuan woke up from her sleep, rubbed her eyes, and saw the gift placed on her bedside - a brand new, furry, down-stuffed doll.
Xiaoyuan got up quickly and turned around a few times holding her new doll. "Mom, mom, who gave me this gift?"
The mother squatted down in front of her and touched her excited little head. "This is a gift from Sister Xiaoyuan."
"Your sister Xiaoyuan has gone back to Kyoto."
