When Bai Zhu woke up, he was barely refreshed, except that his shoulder still hurt badly.

Morning light shone faintly through the curtains.

The weather was good today. Bai Zhu was hazy in consciousness. He closed his eyes again and woke up completely.

The bed beside him has been folded.

No matter how late Avril goes to bed, she always gets up in the morning for morning exercises. She is a veritable genius, but she is never proud of it, and she puts in more effort than ordinary people.

squeak--

The door was pushed open, and Avril came in quietly, with a white soft towel on her shoulders and wearing dance clothes.

Seeing Bai Hou who was sitting up, he relaxed his expression, returned to normal range of motion, and laughed:

"Good morning, Xiaoshu, is the wound still hurting?"

"It's nothing serious, just recover more, don't worry." Bai Shu propped himself up, moved his shoulders slightly, and let out a sigh of relief, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired."

Avril opened the curtains to let in the warm morning light. She sprayed water on the blue cornflowers on the window sill, and carefully moved the vase to the balcony. The water droplets on the petals glowed under the light.

This is indeed a very rare good weather.

Bai Shu leaned against the head of the bed, feeling relieved, maybe it's because she completed the most crucial step last night, and now everything looks pleasing to the eye.

Avril put the towel aside, and took off the schoolbag that was put on the table after picking it up this morning:
"Can I open it?"

"Open it, there are dirty clothes inside, don't smoke you."

Avril opened the zipper, the smell of blood mixed with the smell of disinfectant alcohol hit her nostrils, she couldn't help but clenched her lips tightly, feeling a little distressed.

But Avril still didn't ask any more questions, and she didn't take the initiative to find out without Bai Shu's words.

Everyone has secrets.

She also has a secret, and good friends should know how to measure things.

"Do you need medicine?"

Avril took out the medicine box prepared by the medical soldier from inside, opened the lid when Bai Zhu nodded, and took out a new bandage and gauze from it, Bai Zhu turned sideways and took off his shirt, and took the initiative to remove the bandage for Avril to apply the medicine.

"The wound is so deep..."

Avril Lavigne dipped a cotton swab into the medicine, and the moment the cold ointment touched the wound, Baiju couldn't hold back, shrank her shoulders forward, and quickly restrained herself.

"Does it hurt?"

Avril Lavigne asked this sentence many times, but Bai Shu answered helplessly:

"It doesn't really hurt, it's just a little cold."

The most painful time has passed. At that time, I didn't cry out for pain, and I can bear it now.

"Do you have to do something dangerous?" Avril pursed her lips and her eyes turned red.

Bai Shu heard that her voice was wrong, Avril's mind was more delicate than anyone she had ever seen, and it was easier to empathize with the outside world.

"Does Avril Lavigne have to go dancing?" Bai Shu said patiently and softly, "Some movements are dangerous without protection."

It's dangerous, but you must go.

People are willing to sacrifice everything for the things they love.

Avril Lavigne silently helped Bai Zhu to bandage the wound, her forehead lightly touched the side of the wound, and her voice was very soft:

"I know, I'll help you."

"Okay, thank you."

Bai Shu just smiled and waited until the bandage was wrapped around him before taking over and tying the knot himself.

"Go take a shower, we'll go buy breakfast later," Bai Shu stroked Avril's head, "Do you still want to practice dancing? I can accompany you all day today. I haven't eaten the egg tart you learned to make yesterday. "

"I'll make it for you again today!" Avril complied without hesitation, "Brother Liu also said that my cooking is delicious, you will definitely like it!"

"Really? Then I'm really lucky."

Bai Shu nodded, and after Avril left, he took out the broken and blood-stained clothes in the shoulder bag, threw them into the bathroom and burned them, then took out the map given by the owner of the equipment shop from the compartment of the shoulder bag and put it away, and finally put the location of the shoulder bag recovery.

She still smells of blood, but she can't get wet yet.

Bai Zhu changed into a new set of clothes, threw the set she was wearing into the bathtub, and soaked it in laundry detergent.

"My clothes are costing me more and more. Why don't I remember that the clothes I bought are disposable?"

Bai Shu thought helplessly, got dressed and walked from the balcony to Avril's room.

This was the first time she had entered the little girl's room. The wallpaper was warm and pale pink, with posters of dancing dancers pasted on it. Apart from various literature books, there were dance teaching video tapes on the bookshelves.

The floor at the foot of the bed is covered with soft blankets, and all kinds of stuffed bears are leaning together happily. On the bed is the doll bought by Baizhu, and it is covered with a small blanket thoughtfully. Thousand paper cranes.

There were many photos posted on the wall, and Bai Zhu took a closer look.

Basically, they are snapshots of Avril Lavigne performing on stage or practicing dancing, with the date and the name of the photographer [Ning Zhi] marked.The lens can see the emotions of the photographer, and each one is loved and appreciated, even proud.

Ning Zhi loves Avril very much, she is the treasure of this family.

The one in the middle looks like it lasted the longest, Baiju took off the magnetic needle and held it in his hand.

The background of the stage is the radiance of the galaxy. Avril is leaping in the air in a gauze white dress, with white plush antlers on her head. Her light and agile posture is frozen. At this moment, even the haze of the stage where the light is not illuminated becomes beautiful.

There is writing on the back of the photo.

【Remember, it's Weiwei's first stage competition. 】

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and Bai Shu returned the photo to its original position.

Avril Lavigne came out wiping her hair wrapped in a bath towel, looked up and smiled when she saw Bai Zhu: "Is my room nice?"

"nice."

Bai Zhu motioned to Avril to sit on the side of the bed and connected the hair dryer on the bedside to help her dry her hair.

"Let's go to the flower shop to buy flowers later."

Avril hugged the doll, turned her head slightly, and suggested enthusiastically, "There is a flower shop at the end of the street, which is opened by Mrs. Lin. We can also go directly to her flower garden to choose flowers."

"You can go if you like." Baizhu lifted her hair and dried it carefully with his eyes lowered. "After breakfast, we will go choose flowers."

……

"This batch of flowers just bloomed this morning. I didn't expect that we, Weiwei, would be the first guest." The woman wearing a sun hat smiled, "Choose whatever you want, and Auntie will send it to you."

"Thank you, Mrs. Lin."

Avril picked up her feet to choose, and her eyes suddenly settled on a small area in the best position in the center of the flower garden: "That blue flower doesn't look like a cornflower, what kind of flower is it?"

"Ah, those are blue roses. They just bloomed in May. They haven't been raised for the past two years. This is the first batch."

Mrs. Lin took Avril into the flower garden, bent down and carefully picked a flower and handed it to her:
"The blue rose is a very special kind of rose, precious and rare, and a miracle."

The light blue blue rose is stained with dew and falls on the palm.

"The meaning is really good. I like blue."

Avril was holding flowers, and trotting in front of her was Bai Shu who was waiting in front of the flowerbed. The wind was blowing her hair, she was an elf among light and flowers, "Are they very similar to your eyes, Xiao Shu?"

"I……"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Before Bai Shu could speak, a yellow long-haired dog jumped up outside the flowerbed, put his hands on the fence, stuck out his tongue friendlyly at the humans in the flowerbed, wagged his tail and barked twice. "Ah, it's rhubarb!"

Mrs. Lin did not allow rhubarb to come in and step on the flowers, but it still persisted in sniffing the flowers, trying to taste them. Avril bought a bouquet of blue roses and another bouquet of cornflowers to bring to Ning Zhi.

Bai Shu helped her hold the blue rose, waiting for her to bid farewell to Mrs. Lin.

The morning sun carried the fragrance of flowers and plants. Avril was humming and walking beside Bai Zhu, and Rhubarb wagging his tail followed her, rubbing Bai Zhu's legs and feet curiously from time to time.

Bai Shu freed up a hand and rubbed Rhubarb's dog's head vigorously. It was warm and soft, and the vigorous vitality could be clearly felt just by touching it.

In May, even the aliens are in the intercourse of life. The flowers in the flower garden are endless, and they are soft when the wind blows. It seems that every life, every cell, and even the dust jumping in the sun are writing the history of the whole world. Gentle and lively, when you stare at all this, you also see the future and the outline of life.

Bai Shu relaxed his nerves and followed Avril Lavigne dancing with flowers, through the dusty and soft soil flower garden path, into the noisy neighborhood of concrete low-rise buildings, and then to the silent and barbaric red light district.

In Dis Bar, there were hunters taking a break after stopping their mission. Ning Zhi distributed the cornflowers she bought to the men and women drinking. A strong man with a red face from drinking pinned the flowers to his ears and stood up amidst the laughter of everyone:

"Hey! I heard from my wife that this flower is 'encountering happiness and light'. You said that this year the flowers are blooming so vigorously. Are you celebrating that we have survived another cold winter and that this year will be safe and smooth?"

"That's right!"

"Cheers! Cheers to tomorrow and the future!"

The hunter raised the glass full of spirits and toasted to the light above his head. Bai Zhu poured a glass of juice, slightly raised his hand and touched Avril lightly, the juice flickered and flickered.

The bracelet vibrates.

Bai Shu put down his glass and walked out of the bar, and connected to Bai Lingyu's call.

"I have good news for you."

Holding the paper report, Bo Lingyu nodded to the passing staff of the survey station as he walked out. He stopped in the corridor and looked at himself in the window glass of the corridor. He was not at all tired from staying up all night, on the contrary, he couldn’t tell. Relax:

"The test reports have come out, very detailed and powerful, and I have sent them to the commanders in other areas of the Second City, and the bases have already arranged operations.

"The parliament will hold a military meeting tonight, and the evacuation plan is finalized. The day after tomorrow, residents can be transferred to the isolation zone between the first and second cities. The first city has also arranged assistance operations to transport supplies to the second city's retreat point."

"is it?"

Bai Shu leaned against the door, lowered his eyes and looked at the big yellow dog lying at his feet, and couldn't help but curl his lips:

"That's really good news."

The safety period record of the Second City is half a month, and now it is only a week away from the second full moon. It is certain that a large number of people will be transferred before the outbreak, and the rest will be transferred before the fall, and the task can basically be completed.

"Xiao Shu, why did you come out?"

Avril opened the door, and Mao Mao poked her head furtively.

"It's nothing." Bai Shu hung up the call first, picked up the bracelet, "Don't you want to play?"

"Because Sister Ning said she would take us to take a family photo!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Zhi, who was on the phone, walked out: "Well, okay, you two can just change at home and come over, we have a camera at home and take pictures... Yes, come to the bar to take pictures, here are all of us family."

family portrait...

Atractylodes paused for a while.

The only family portrait she had was her graduation photo from the military academy and a photo with Bai Lingyu when she was a child.

It is better to keep as little video data as possible.

Bai Shu thought this way, and it wasn't until Fatty Liu reminded her to smile, until Feng Jinyun touched her head, and until there were people behind her who were joining in the fun and looking at the camera, or hunters holding cornflowers, that she completely gave up looking for excuses. Still holding the bouquet of blue roses.

Ning Zhi adjusted the countdown and ran back to the C position in the crowd, turning around and urging:

"Smile and look at the camera! Give my mother a bit of a f*cking celebration, and climb up to the one who wants to hit someone with a wine bottle in the back!"

Click!

With a flash of the camera, all the joy and laughter are frozen and turned into a photo in the photo frame.

[On May 20, 5, Red Moon, Dis Bar, family photo]

Bai Shu changed into her pajamas, and Avril Lavigne, who had finished dancing, was sitting on the bed with paper cranes glued to the frame. It was a picture of the five members of their family alone.

In the afternoon, Ning Zhi developed the photos and gave each person a copy.

"It's so good." Avril swung her legs and lay back on Baizhu's bed with her family portrait in her arms. She rolled around happily for several times. "It's so good today. It's the first time that Xiao Shu has stayed with me for a whole day."

Bai Shu put the photo frame away, and just as he was about to say something, the wind blew up outside.

"Is the wind blowing?" Avril sat up. "The cornflowers and blue roses are outside and have not been brought in."

"I'll get it."

Bai Shu stood up and opened the balcony door to get the flowers. When he reached out, cold white crystals fell on his arm.

snowflake?

Bai Shu looked up and saw a little snow falling into the area of ​​the balcony illuminated by lights:

"Why... snow? Is it cold in spring?"

Along the southern coast, late spring cold and snow are extremely rare.

Snowflakes fluttered in the corners of his eyes, and the eyelashes trembled, water droplets almost fell into his eyes, Bai Zhu lowered his head suddenly, and when he wiped his eyelashes upwards, the cold wind came again.

This time, the balcony door, which was not closed tightly, was blown shut with a "bang", causing the exposed skin to lose heat instantly. Baizhu stretched out his hand to block the wind, and a "squeaking" sound was heard from the balcony guard wall.

Two potted flowers were thrown down at the same time!
not good!

Bai Zhu grabbed the blue rose and smashed the blue cornflower away.

Snapped!
The flower pots were broken into pieces, the petals flew in the light white snow in an instant, and the originally vibrant blue withered and faded in an instant.

It was as if the life had been sucked dry by the snow.

The palm of his hand hurt, Bai Shu took two steps back, and Blue Rose fell to pieces.

"hiss……"

Bai Shu flattened his hands, his skin flushed red like being scalded, if the snow had just dripped into his eyes.

That's useless.

"What's the matter?" Avril heard the voice and hurried to open the door.

"Don't come out!"

Baizhu tilted his head and shouted fiercely, Avril was so frightened that she retracted her hand and made no further movements.

What's going on... What's going on with this snow?

Bai Shu frowned, pulled out her wristband to make a call, and screams erupted from the red light district not far away.

"Ah! My eyes! My eyes!"

Like a huge boulder rolling into the lake, countless screams exploded.

All the people who are still playing and having fun, even going out to enjoy the snowflakes because of their novelty, are corroded and burned by the cold "snow".

Bai Shu's back shivered, and his arms, which were already hypothermic, were numb with cold.

"Om-"

The alarm sounded again in the sky above Ercheng, short and shrill, and it hadn't been seen for almost ten years.
