Chapter 16 Poor "Do You Really Want My Help?"
Pan Xun was ready for a protracted battle this time, and he didn't need to be greeted by Bai Qianmian when he entered the tent, and he took the initiative to lie down on the bed he slept in before.
Bai Qianmian boiled water with a small stove in the tent, while Pan Xun squinted his eyes and thought about every next step. Slowly, he smelled a long-lost fragrance.
"Orange peel?"
When Pan Xun wasn't coming, Bai Qianmian didn't turn on the small lamp, the light in the brazier was enough, but now he put the lamp on the cabinet in the middle.
Pan Xun sat up and wanted to lean against the wall, but his back seemed to be falling out as soon as he stuck it on. He had no choice but to remember where he was, so he had to put on his shoes and sit beside Bai Qianmian.
Bai Qianmian put two orange peels on the edge of the brazier. Because of the temperature of the fire, the orange peels gave off a faint fragrance. Because of this fragrance, the damp smell in the tent was greatly reduced.
"I really miss it." Pan Xun sighed strangely, he sat down on the small stool, when he came the day before yesterday, he didn't have these two stools, what did Bai Qianmian say at that time?It is said that it is inconvenient to put it in a small place.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Bai Qianmian poured him a cup of hot water.
Holding the teacup in his hand, Pan Xun stared at the orange peel gradually turning black, as if he was in a certain mood, "I'll sleep for a while during the day, and I won't be sleepy."
He said that he missed it because when he lived together when he was a child, Bai Qianmian liked to throw orange peels by the fireplace. This habit was rare. At that time, because someone collected the dried orange peels, Bai Qianmian often sold them to buy candy for the two of them.
Pan Xun later returned to Pan's house, and never saw anyone around him doing such a thing.
"Is anyone planting orange trees in Moka City?" Looking at it, his thoughts went further, and he asked casually.
Bai Qianmian fiddled with the firewood for a moment, Pan Xun was curious about his silence, and looked up to find that the man was lowering his head.
"No, I picked it up from the door of the fruit shop." Bai Qianmian said this in a calm tone, and stood up after speaking.
Pan Xun followed him with his eyes, and found that he took out a lunch box from the cabinet beside him, and took out two palm-sized meatloaf from it.
Bai Qianmian walked back and squatted down, Pan Xun watched him casually roast the two meatloaf, then broke off a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
"You are..." Pan Xun frowned and said, "Dinner?"
"Ah."
"Is there no porridge?" Wouldn't it be too much to eat like this?
Bai Qianmian took a sip of the hot water and put the teacup on the ground.
Pan Xun stared at the two pieces of cake carefully, and recalled Swill Mountain uncontrollably in his mind, "This is it?"
"Bangbang cake," Bai Qianmian continued to eat, and casually replied, "Because it will become hard after it's done and let it cool."
"..." Pan Xun felt a little nauseous, he really wanted to raise his hand to knock the food out of the person's hand.
"Do you want to eat?" After eating a cake, Bai Qianmian raised her hand to signal.
Pan Xun hurriedly refused, "I ate before I came here."
"Oh." Bai Qianmian continued to eat cakes in front of the fire, and occasionally took two sips of hot water as gifts.
Pan Xun wanted to find something to say, in such a warm environment, he could have said a lot, but Bai Qianmian's face facing the fire was lacking in expression, and he was eating cakes, his movements were numb and repeated, Pan Xun somehow lost the ability to speak. courage.
After sitting for a while, he silently got up and returned to the bed. Bai Qianmian had finished eating at some point, so she went outside the tent to rinse her mouth and wipe her face. , he smelled the smell of orange peel and closed his eyes.
When she woke up again, the situation was the same as last time, someone ran past outside the tent, Pan Xun saw that Bai Qianmian was carrying an iron bucket again, and this time she was wearing a sleeve.
"Are you going?" Bai Qianmian was waiting for him outside the tent.
Pan Xun nodded, "Go."
"you sure?"
"I may not be able to help you much." Hearing the uneasiness in Bai Qianmian's words, he answered with a little embarrassment.
When they arrived at the location, the same as the early morning of that day, the black crowd waited impatiently. Not long after, three swill trucks arrived and unloaded the leftovers full of leftovers. The crowd rushed forward again, and Pan Xun opposed them. , he backed away among the "charging" crowd, originally his eyes were fixed on Bai Qianmian, but the other party "lost" in the crowd after a while.
The smell was still smoky from more than ten meters away, Pan Xun didn't dare to look at the hands picking up the leftovers, so he could only look up at the night sky in a daze, then slowly retreated to the corner, and squatted down after standing for a long time Down.
Bai Qianmian ended this time faster than the last time, before dawn the others were still rummaging, and he had already stood in front of Pan Xun.
"All right."
As soon as the person stopped in front of him, Pan Xun raised his head with a feeling. He was actually quite curious about how Bai Qianmian could find him accurately and quickly.
"Go home?" Asked, he couldn't help raising his hand and yawned.
Holding the bucket in her hand, Bai Qianmian gave a soft "hmm".
Pan Xun didn't do anything but looked more tired than Bai Qianmian, the two were walking one after the other, and slowly walked side by side.
Pan Xun asked, "Are you still going to work?"
"go."
"Give me the barrel." He held out his hand.
Bai Qianmian didn't stop, she just turned her head and glanced at him.
Pan Xun shrugged and pretended to be dissatisfied, "Why, are you afraid I won't be able to carry it?"
Although it's disgusting, it's okay if you don't look at it. Pan Xun thinks that he has made some progress. At least he didn't vomit today. At most, his appetite will be ruined next time.
"I can do it myself." Bai Qianmian only said this.
Pan Xun simply went to "grab it". Unexpectedly, Bai Qianmian was much more flexible than him, so the person with the big bucket easily changed hands.
"You really don't want my help?"
"..."
Pan Xun gave up.
Bai Qianmian was the same as that day, after selling the contents of the bucket to the middle-aged woman who specializes in making "Bangbang Cakes", she took the money she just received and took him to the steamed bun shop to queue up. This time Pan Xun didn't go to the corner to stay, Although Bai Qianmian pushed him away, he still stood where he was, "Let's talk about it, let's buy meat buns later?"
The white flour steamed buns are really too much to eat.
Bai Qianmian didn't make a sound.
Pan Xun took out a ten-cent note from his pocket and handed it over, "Hey, my food expenses."
The man glanced at the money in his hand, and followed the team silently to move forward.
Pan Xun leaned closer to his ear, and whispered, "You have to do physical work for a day."
"Steamed buns can also fill you up." Bai Qianmian replied dryly.
"Eat enough to be full..." Pan Xun was a little annoyed, "But eating every day will not be nutritious."
"It's a little bit of savings."
"I'm not short of this money." Pan Xun forcefully stuffed the money into Bai Qianmian's pocket.
The man didn't refuse any more, just stared at him expressionlessly and said, "Poor."
This word is very familiar, and Pan Xun has a good memory. I am sure that this kind of conversation happened only yesterday, but the roles between the two have been reversed.
"Although you took me in," Pan Xun said seriously after thinking for a while, "I still have to pay the food expenses."
Bai Qianmian didn't say a word anymore, Pan Xun felt better when he acquiesced, he hoped that Bai Qianmian could improve his conditions, at least in terms of food.
He let out a long sigh until he got into the car and gnawed on the white flour steamed buns.
In the passenger seat, Bai Qianmian ate steamed buns with cold water, looking very satisfied.
Pan Xun swallowed the last mouthful of steamed buns and started the car silently. He had to start thinking about whether the way he approached was inappropriate.
He didn't come up with a new countermeasure until he stopped the car. There was already a master in the car wash shop. Bai Qianmian sat quietly on the seat for a while, and suddenly said flatly: "Actually, you can let me go at the last intersection." .”
Pan Xun said "Ah?", clearly distracted.
"..." Bai Qianmian didn't say any more, and simply opened the door and stepped out.
A few people who arrived earlier in the store were sneaking glances here, but Pan Xun pretended not to notice, lowered the car window and shouted to Bai Qianmian who had already walked out: "I'll pick you up again at night."
"You..." Bai Qianmian turned around, with a hint of indignation and accusation on her face.
Pan Xun laughed heartlessly, stepped on the accelerator, and the phone in his pocket rang after the car drove not far away.
He held the steering wheel with one hand, and connected the phone with the other. He was quite different from the gentleness when he was with Bai Qianmian. Sitting alone in the car, he was cold and stern, "Hello?"
