Chapter 256 Gift

"You can't wrap your head like this. People who don't know will think someone in the family is missing..."

After deciding to take the doll out, Lu Xin began to carefully look at the big-headed doll wrapped in a bath towel.

Then he walked over and untied the bath towel wrapped around the girl's head, and changed it to a towel. He didn't cover her head completely, but carefully covered half of her face from under her eyes and tied the two ends behind her head.

In this way, with contact lenses, the only thing exposed to the eyes of the doll was the smooth forehead.

It's not possible that a forehead alone would drive people crazy, right?

Besides, covering the face like this is much better than wrapping the whole head...

In the corridor outside, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded. Several staff members of the service team appeared. Looking at the doll with a towel tied on its face, they were silent for a while. One of the service staff was holding two wooden lunch boxes in his hand.

Lu Xin faintly smelled a hint of tempting fried chicken from one of the lunch boxes, and smiled and nodded to them:

"Keep the fried chicken, we'll go out for a midnight snack."

"..."

The service team nodded, and then one of them stepped forward and silently untied the towel tied to the doll's face.

"This..."

Lu Xin was a little puzzled.

Then he saw the staff member take out a black-based white-lined silk scarf from the bag, which looked very textured, and tied it back on the doll's face, carefully adjusting the covered part, with a very gentle technique, and the knot behind the head was also tied very beautifully.

"That towel is too ugly."

Facing Lu Xin's eyes, she explained: "How can you let the doll go out with a towel covering it?"

"This is our Qinggang doll."

"..."

Lu Xin had to admit that the doll now looked better than when it was tied with a hotel towel just now.

But how could she blame herself for this? She had just used a bath towel...

Under the care of the service team, Wawa changed into a new princess dress that had just been brought over, and took her umbrella. Lu Xin and Wawa went downstairs along the elevator. The special van at the door was already waiting, but the driver had changed again.

After getting in the car, the driver in heavy protective clothing started to speak:

"Now I'll take you to the most lively place in Qinggang."

"You can have fun without thinking about anything."

"..."

When the van was driving on the streets of the main city of Qinggang that had survived the disaster, Lu Xin could still see signs of chaos.

There were rows of huge trucks, and it was obvious from the connection between the carriages that there were special glass structures inside. They drove over from all directions and headed towards the north of the city. Chen Jing in the channel explained to Lu Xin: "The previous isolation area has been temporarily arranged as a mental care area to accommodate and treat those mutants. The mutants found in various places will be sent there."

Along the way, you can see rows of people wearing heavy protective clothing conducting detailed mental radiation tests.

There are also many people from the support team running back and forth.

In many places, you can see long queues of people, and people with trembling faces come out from upstairs or other hiding places, while accepting tests, waiting for the subway that was temporarily requisitioned in the entire city to send them home in batches.

This city that gave him a certain strange beauty at the beginning is already recovering its original appearance.

...

When he came to the center of the main city, an unusually busy street, he found that it seemed very deserted.

All the shops were closed. Even some that were open were empty at this time. Only the lights in the shops and the neon lights outside were on. In some places, you could see some messy bloodstains and overturned tables and chairs.

Lu Xin looked at the doll next to him who was curiously looking at him, and smiled helplessly.

It was obvious that this place had been attacked by mutants before, and the lively streets were no longer lively at this time.

"It's good to take a walk."

Lu Xin thought so and walked down with the doll.

Then, under the concerned eyes of the staff in the service team, he walked slowly with her on the empty street.

Although there was no one in the shop at this time and the whole street was unusually deserted, from the signs selling various clothes, jewelry and various foods around, it can be seen how lively this street should have been before the attack.

"I should have eaten fried chicken before coming out..."

Lu Xin was thinking about this question in his heart, and then he smelled a familiar fragrance.

"There are still new restaurants..."

His eyes lit up, and he strode forward with Wawa.

Soon, at a corner, he saw a glass cart and people sitting on small stools around it.

There were pots and jars in the glass cart, with all kinds of vegetables and eggs, as well as ham, pork shreds, etc. The fat chef shook the big black pot in his hand with a serious expression, and shouted in a rough voice: "Who wants eggs for fried noodles?"

"This is delicious..."

Lu Xin's mood suddenly became better.

While someone was leaving after eating, he quickly grabbed a small square table and pulled a stool to Wawa.

Wawa's eyes exposed outside the scarf narrowed into crescents and nodded vigorously.

"Master, give me a large portion of fried noodles, add an egg... and add more meat and bean sprouts."

Lu Xin generously ordered one for himself, then looked at Wawa again and added an egg to her portion.

He didn't expect that in this surviving city, there was actually such a place, and there were quite a few diners.

After asking with a smile, the fried noodle chef rolled his eyes indifferently, and the flesh on his cheeks trembled:

"What are you afraid of?"

"It's just a few crazy people. When I followed the Third Corps to build the city, it was not uncommon?"

"Young people nowadays are really scared when they see a madman and go home..."

"Of course we have to do business. The better the business is at this time."

"Do you think the urban management team won't arrest me if I come here to set up a stall?"

"..."

"The older generation has better psychological quality than the young people."

In the channel, Chen Jing smiled and said: "However, his business will be better today. After a thorough inspection tonight, we will relax step by step from tomorrow. Everyone will be bolder and open for business. In less than a week, this street will return to its original bustle. Maybe in a few months or half a year, everyone will forget the chaos here."

"Qinggang will still be the orderly Qinggang you saw when you first entered the city, and people will look at the traffic lights when crossing the road."

She said slowly, "And these people are the ones you and your baby are protecting."

"It's not just us."

Lu Xin looked at the people around him who were eating and chatting, and the fried noodles flying up and down in the iron pot, and a smile appeared on his face:

"I know you are also very hard-working, more tired than us..."

Faced with the sudden understanding of his subordinates, Chen Jing was slightly silent, and seemed a little moved.

"..."

A serving of fried noodles costs three yuan, with an egg for fifty cents and shredded pork for one yuan.

Lu Xin spent a total of eight yuan, and confirmed to Chen Jing in the channel that any expenses he spent in the main city would be reimbursed.

Without mentioning the fried noodles, it was less than ten yuan, not worth mentioning.

...Anyway, it will be reimbursed whether you mention it or not.

After eating, Lu Xin and Baby walked on this street for a while.

Although Baby is a girl who wastes food, she only ate less than one-third of such a large plate of fried noodles.

But Lu Xin still thinks this girl is pretty good.

Because when I told her that I had to leave the main city tomorrow because of something, she just nodded silently.

"I will go back tomorrow, and I will come to see you when I have the chance."

Lu Xin was afraid that she didn't understand, so he explained it again seriously: "Is this okay?"

Wawa looked at him with wide eyes and nodded again.

Lu Xin felt much more relaxed all of a sudden. He could feel that Wawa was not stupid and was very sensible.

Before I went back, this last night was the last time I would accompany her on this mission, so Lu Xin took her around the street very attentively and bought her a lucky cat piggy bank and a red balloon...

The word "buy" is actually not accurate enough, because the boss didn't know where he was hiding and the store door was open.

In addition, considering that he would meet his family when he returned from this business trip, Lu Xin also decided to buy some gifts for his family.

He saw a red bag with a large plastic flower on it on the stall next to him.

Remembering that my mother liked to carry a small shoulder bag, I decided to buy this for her.

It was difficult to choose a gift for my father. Lu Xin had first looked at a set of knives, but then he felt that my father didn't need this thing... and the knives in the main city were quite expensive... He couldn't find anything suitable for other things, they were all too expensive...

So after walking around twice, he saw a transparent raincoat on a stall next to him that had not been put away in time.

He immediately decided to buy it, because it somehow matched my father's temperament...

As for my sister...

...Lu Xin looked around and looked at the row of yellow, open-mouthed, cute toys in the toy store.

He couldn't help but smile: Isn't this the toy my sister has always wanted?

...

In the end, the doll held the piggy bank and the balloon, and with the other hand, helped Lu Xin carry a large bag of gifts to take home. Lu Xin led her back to the van and returned to the hotel.

This hotel didn't have the lighting that was set to the exact time as before, so at 10 o'clock in the evening, Wawa didn't fall asleep on time, and kept squatting on the ground fiddling with her little cube.

When Lu Xin woke up from the sofa the next day, Wawa was still fiddling with her little cube.

Chen Jing had called and said that there would be a high-speed train at 9 o'clock in the morning, and Lu Xin could take this train back to Satellite City No. 2.

"I'll go first!"

Lu Xin looked at Wawa and said with a smile.

Wawa squatted on the ground busy, without looking up.

"I'll come to see you when I have time."

Lu Xin smiled and greeted Wawa again, then went downstairs with the bag, and Wawa didn't follow.

This made Lu Xin a little strange: "Why are you suddenly not clingy?"

"Don't you have any feelings after a few days of getting along?"

"..."

There was a car waiting downstairs, which took Lu Xin to the station and boarded the car through a special channel.

Thinking about this experience in the main city, Lu Xin felt that there were still many regrets.

I didn't get to have dinner with several familiar colleagues such as Bihu, Tiecui, Han Bing, and Jiugui.

I didn't get to see the most lively street in the main city.

The most regrettable thing is that I had already agreed with Han Bing that she would treat me to a meal and give me the wontons she made by herself, but now I have to go back early, it seems... When I thought of this, Lu Xin felt that it was right.

Han Bing is a little girl after all. Is she so good to me because she is willing...

Or is it because of some kind of work will?

If it is just to follow a certain work philosophy, then it is right for me not to go to this appointment.

After all, she is a girl from the main city, who treats people sincerely, gentle and lovely.

But I am a person with a family that others can't see, and I am no different from those pollution sources.

When I talked to my mother before, she actually heard it...

There is no need to take advantage of the convenience of work to enjoy the care of this girl.

...

Thinking about this question, Lu Xin sighed softly in a voice that was barely noticeable.

He leaned back gently on the seat, and the high train was about to start.

At this time, a conductor rushed into the carriage in a hurry. He strode towards Lu Xin, panting and placing a sealed box in front of Lu Xin, saying: "Mr. Single Soldier, right? This is what the girl below asked me to give you."

Lu Xin was a little curious and opened the box, and then he was stunned.

Inside was a bowl of small and exquisite wontons, which were carefully tied with a plastic bag.

Lu Xin's heart moved slightly, and he hurriedly leaned on the glass to look out.

On the platform, he saw a long-haired girl who was resting on her knees because she was tired, and she was smiling and waving at him.

"Mr. Single Soldier, next time you will treat me to a meal..."

Her voice was a little unclear in the sound of the train starting, but the shape of her mouth seemed to be like this.

…

Also in the main city, in the empty room, Wawa continued to squat on the ground and fiddle with the small cubes on the floor. A member of the service team communicated to the boss anxiously: "Wawa didn't sleep all night last night, and he seems to be in a bad mood."

When they finally couldn't help but come to this room and wanted to persuade Wawa to rest.

They saw that Wawa had put the last small cube in, and then raised his head and smiled happily.

It was a man's face made up of small cubes of various colors.

She seemed to want to show it to someone, but then she realized that the man was gone.

She was silent for a long time, and her mouth pursed slightly.
