Li'er was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's too white?"
Meng Li said: "In this house, everything is too white."
The white is dazzling and uncomfortable.
"It's okay." Li'er said, "This house is just like this, just look at it and it will be fine."
"These walls are just whitewashed and decorated casually."
Meng Li: "Oh."
"Are you feeling better today?" Li'er asked.
Meng Li looked sideways at her: "Okay."
It's good, but I feel bad, at least not good at sleeping.
Li'er stood up, and then said to Meng Li: "Sister, please lie down for a while. I'll call you after dinner."
Meng Li also stood up: "I'm waiting to eat."
They went downstairs together, and Meng Li sat on the dining chair to wait. The men had already begun to discuss digging tunnels. They were choosing seats. The women were all crowded in the kitchen. There was nothing to eat in the morning, just a bowl of oats per person, but If you want to soak, you have to help the men soak well.
Li'er wanted to soak her own and Meng Li's oats. Seeing Li'er busy alone, Yueqi sighed, reached out and patted her shoulder, and said sympathetically:
"You're so pathetic. At least we have a partner to take care of each other at this time. Your sister has to take care of you."
Ranran touched Yue Qi with her elbow, feeling helpless.
She whispered to Yue Qi: "That's how you are, you always speak without thinking."
Yue Qi: "I just told the truth."
Li'er pursed her lips and looked at Ranran: "It's okay, I don't mind."
"But I am willing to take care of my sister, and I will not complain. Besides, we are sisters, and we can never ignore each other. If I were like my sister today, my sister would definitely take better care of me." She stirred. Take the oats and put some sugar in them.
Yue Qi pouted: "You are so great."
"You have too much time to take care of yourself and you still take care of others."
Ranran pushed her: "Stop talking."
Li'er didn't say anything and went out with two bowls of oats. Ranran said to Yue Qi, "What are you doing so weirdly?"
"Who wants to stay with a mentally ill person? I didn't even sleep well last night, I just dreamed about her going crazy." Yue Qi said dissatisfied.
"Then what do you mean now? Do you still want her sister to ignore her? If her sister really doesn't care, who will care about her? Then she is too pitiful." Ran Ran said.
Yue Qi: "Who can I blame if I can't bear it?"
"Everyone is fine but she has something wrong. Anyway, a mentally ill person in front of you won't like it no matter how you look at it."
Ran Ran sighed: "Okay, won't it be over if you don't look at her?"
"Who can ignore it? I just don't like it no matter what, but I can only say a few words. Her sister can't really leave her alone." Yue Qi rolled her eyes.
Li'er brought the oatmeal for Meng Li to eat, and told her that it was a little hot. Meng Li said, "Let's take a rest first."
Daqiang came over, picked up the oats that Xiaoqiang had soaked for him, stirred them up, looked at Meng Li and said, "You're not stupid, you know how to let it sit for a while."
Meng Li raised his eyes and glanced at him, but did not respond to him, which made him feel bored. Sister Zhang gave Da Qiang a roll of his eyes. After everyone finished eating, they began to dig into the ground.
Downstairs, apart from the kitchen, is the hall. The hall is extremely wide, equivalent to all the rooms upstairs, so they moved the dining table in the middle to a position closer to the kitchen, and then started digging at the place furthest away from the dining table.
They all decided that the excavated soil would be piled in the living room. Daqiang said that they only needed to dig a similar distance to allow them to get out of the house.
It's not like we really made a long tunnel.
In this way, the construction period is also shorter, and everyone will definitely be able to finish before the food is finished. The sound of drilling the ground with steel bars is very noisy and harsh. I don't know why the floor is so hard. They worked all morning to drill some of the ground.
However, the opening created by Daqiang was relatively large. Others said that it would be enough to make it smaller so that one person could go in. Daqiang said that they did not understand and that the opening must be larger so that construction would be easier later. He explained it in detail and everyone was convinced. His professional ability means that everything is decided by him.
Meng Li had been sitting there motionless all morning, watching them busy at work. Others even came up to help, but she didn't move.
If you can sit in the same position all morning and look at them with blank eyes, isn't there something wrong with your brain? Anyway, some people were tired and couldn't help but glance at Bai Mengli, as if her presence was extremely obstructive.
During lunch, everyone was still discussing the morning's project with great interest. Meng Li suddenly said:
"There are so many of you, why are you always staring at me with disgust?"
Li'er stared at Meng Li nervously, with pleading eyes, as if he didn't want Meng Li to talk nonsense, but Meng Li ignored him, and Meng Li asked everyone: "Why?"
Yue Qi said: "Who hates you?"
"When you are tired and bored, you just look at me, and then your frown deepens." Meng Li directly stated how they felt about him.
Yue Qi raised her eyebrows: "You are quite sharp. Everyone is busy working, but you are idle. It is human nature to look at you a few times, so you have to endure it."
Ran Ran persuaded Yue Qi: "Okay, stop talking."
"Why don't you say anything, for fear of hurting both of them? In fact, we are all strangers to each other, and we won't have any interactions when we go out in the future. Why should I care about her so much?" Yue Qi has a very angry temper.
Sister Zhang glanced at Meng Li helplessly, and then said to Li'er: "Don't mind, have you been out of society before? In fact, the society outside is quite cruel, most people are indifferent, and no one is willing to give to anyone. .”
"We think we are very considerate of you two."
Li'er nodded: "Sister Zhang, thank you. I know that at least my sister doesn't have to do anything and she can be raised with peace of mind."
"So she can't make trouble with us, you know? It's inevitable that everyone will be in a bad mood if they are trapped here. Don't make trouble anymore." Sister Zhang glanced at Meng Li, and Li'er nodded hurriedly: "I know, I will advise she."
Sister Zhang nodded, and Li'er understood what she meant.
Li'er went to Meng Li privately and said, "Sister, don't say anything and just be quiet, okay?"
"What will happen if I don't go along with their wishes?" Meng Li asked.
Li'er said: "I'm afraid. In fact, sometimes human nature is very scary. If they unite to exclude us, we may not be able to eat."
"And if they all reject us, it will be unnecessary for us to stay there. They are many and powerful, so there are only two of us. Don't completely anger them, especially Sister Zhang. She seems to be two people, but in fact she is. Four.”
"We will have to put down our dignity to beg them when the time comes. Why bother?" Li'er said sadly.
Meng Li snorted and said, "That's it."
