Chapter 164 Amelia
Chapter 164 Amelia
"Mu Tianbang was attacked by radical elements within the resistance yesterday and had surgery this morning."
Hearing this, Chi Ping was stunned for a moment.
Mu Tianbang was being stared at by many eyes at this time, and it was not convenient for Bai Xing to grab him in public and then cut him open for examination.
He could only wait for an opportunity while preparing for the possibility that he had been parasitized, and first stabilize the middle and lower-level officers and the believers of the Originalist Church in the resistance army.
Fortunately, the former second-in-command Hank firmly stood on the side of the Republicans, had great prestige among the grassroots soldiers, and was not interested in Mu Tianbang.
All the eggs are not put in one basket. All we have to do is wait for Chi Ping to arrive in Ratas and then provide support.
The next morning, Chi Ping and others continued on their journey.
But I saw Amelia packed up everyone's things early in the morning, put them neatly in the car, and then waited for everyone in front of the car.
"Good morning, Mr. Chi, good morning, Uncle Wei, good morning, Le Bai!"
The girl, with rosy lips and white teeth, stood there charmingly. A few rays of sunlight filtered through the dilapidated building behind her, immersing half of her body in the morning light.
Dust particles drifted in the light, transforming into scattered specks of light that reflected on her smiling face. The sun danced on her long eyelashes, and in her dimples, the fine wine brewed by the morning glow rippled.
The vigor of youth and the smile of a girl always make people happy and cheerful.
"Good morning, Amelia!"
Le Bai charged like a bull and fell into Amelia's arms.
Ikehira had some understanding of Amelia's current condition.
This is how I felt in my previous life when my parents went away for a trip and I was left at a neighbor's house.
The low self-esteem brought on immense discomfort, which manifested itself in my rushing to do the work and trying to put on a smile. I put away my willfulness at home and tried my best to be a good child, while deep down I longed for my parents to return soon.
Of course, Chi Ping didn't point it out. Since everyone had been saved, she could just do some work. There was always going to be some adjustment period.
The car was driving on a dilapidated road, and Wei San drove extremely carefully when passing through the mountainous area.
In war-torn areas, highway robbery is a characteristic of the times.
Although Wei San sent away several groups of people, his tires were still punctured by the nails scattered on the ground.
Fortunately, the next city wasn't far away, so they ignored the wear on their wheels and drove right into the city. Eventually, they were only half a day's journey from the capital, Ratas.
Chi Ping was so unlucky. Wei San wanted to get his car repaired, but he found that it would take too long. It was too difficult to find the same model of tires here, and the wheels were badly worn.
Everyone had to stay in this city for another day.
When everyone found a place to stay, Amelia helped move the things into the room. One of the large bags was the guns and ammunition that Wei San had snatched from the bandits, and Amelia had a hard time carrying it.
She had hardly done any work at the base, and the old canvas bag that contained these iron lumps was rough and soon rubbed her palms.
She stood there, breathing on the broken skin.
Wei San came up from behind and took the bag. Amelia quickly hid her hand and smiled sheepishly.
After finishing her work, Amelia stammered that she and her parents lived in this city before she became a colonist.
Since everyone was going to stay here for the whole day, she wanted to go see her parents.
Chi Ping naturally agreed, and the little girl was very happy. She bowed solemnly:
"Thank you, Mr. Chi!"
Then he trotted out of the hotel.
Chi Ping wanted Wei San to follow him to ensure his safety, but Amelia had just left the house when she returned, her face flushed and she seemed hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?" Chi Ping asked.
The little girl talked a lot incoherently, but Chi Ping still didn't react.
It was Wei San who took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to Amelia.
"She wanted to bring something for her parents," Wei San explained to Chi Ping, who suddenly realized that he had been so focused on the manipulator that he had ignored this common sense. Amelia quickly said she didn't want so much, and Wei San had no intention of taking the money back, so she thanked him profusely.
But it is even more unsafe for a little girl to carry so much money.
Since there was nothing else to do, the four of them followed Amelia to go shopping.
In a war-torn area, food is a must-have. Amelia bought sixty flatbreads, some dried fruits, and honey.
Then, I saw Amelia carrying a big bag of things, sweating all over her forehead, and then she showed a naive smile and thanked me all the way.
When they arrived near her parents' house, Chi Ping asked everyone to wait outside, saying there was no need to disturb them at this time.
"Let Amelia go in, we'll wait here." Chi Ping said, and Wei San nodded.
"I'm going in too. You guys wait here." Le Bai imitated Chi Ping's speech and followed Amelia.
Chi Ping was quick-witted and quick-handed, grabbing Le Bai!
"Let me go, I'm going to protect Amelia!"
Le Bai yelled.
Chi Ping let her go and warned: "Eat less melons, pay more attention to danger, and don't disturb her, understand?"
Le Bai nodded frantically, then sped away.
This left only Chi Ping and Wei San. They stared at each other for a while and then went back to the hotel.
Around dinnertime, when Chi Ping came downstairs, he saw Le Bai coming back. She was kicking stones on the side of the road, muttering, "This is boring."
Ike Ping asked, "Where's Amelia?"
Le Bai stretched out his hand and pointed, and saw a figure walking towards him with his head down not far away.
She walked slowly, her expression thoughtful.
Suddenly seeing Ikehira, a smile appeared on his face again.
"Mr. Chi."
The smile is still the same smile, the person is still the same person. But the different moods can really give people a huge sense of contrast.
The joyful feeling that one gets when seeing it is gone, and instead there is a sense of melancholy.
Chi Ping didn't ask any more questions, but pointed to the restaurant next to the hotel: "Come and eat, Amelia!"
At the dining table, Le Bai sat directly opposite Chi Ping. Amelia, who was sitting next to her, was helping everyone tear the bread and distribute the tableware.
Instead of enjoying his meal as usual, Le Baibing buried his head in playing with his phone.
"Let's eat first." Chi Ping said.
Le Bai looked at Chi Ping: "Look at your phone."
Chi Ping held the skewers with one hand and took out his cell phone with the other.
Inside was a message from Le Bai, describing what happened to Amelia when she met her parents.
There are four people in Amelia's family. She also has a younger brother who is about fourteen or fifteen years old. He is chubby and very cute.
After Amelia's matching was successful, her family received a large sum of money, so her brother became much rounder from a skinny little monkey.
When we met again, my brother was playing with other girls in the alley, and my mother was washing clothes at the door.
The younger brother did not recognize his sister, but his mother. After a moment of hesitation, he suddenly realized.
My first reaction was not joy, but surprise.
"Why are you back?" asked the mother.
