I'm sorry, you are responsible for me

Chapter 2 Long time no see, stay safe (2)
After a long time, a light came on, and the man seemed to have pulled out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight that came with him.

The dim light in the darkness was not enough to dispel the great fear in her heart, but it also made her feel a little relieved.

Ye Jia adapted to the light, looked up and looked around, there was a chaos of reinforced concrete, they were in a triangular area under the ruins, the space was extremely cramped, and it was difficult to even stand up.

Ye Jia raised his head, and the light he saw came from his dark and deep eyes, which were faintly visible in the dark night, his facial features were deepened by the light, with sharp and distinct outlines, a pair of single eyelids, faintly covered with inner eyes, the corners of his eyes were slightly hooked, and the arc was just right , with a straight nose, buried the other half of her face in the shadows, her lips were as thin as a knife.

It looks like it's about the same age as the brother next door...

He seemed to be eyeing her too.

Knowing himself and the enemy, he turned off the flashlight again.

"Don't!" Ye Jia hurriedly said, "Can you... open it?"

"I don't know how long I will be trapped, to save power." He explained.

"Well... I want to call my parents, they will definitely come to rescue me soon." Ye Jia asked pitifully, "Can I borrow your mobile phone?"

"Where are your parents?" he asked.

"Upstairs." When I checked in at the hotel, my parents had a room on the fifth floor, and Ye Jia lived on the fourth floor.

The subwoofer was silent for a few seconds, but it seemed as long as a century, and then slowly said: "Now the phone... has no signal."

"Oh." Ye Jia nodded obediently.

It's the truth, and it's also his kindness.

The night was long and short, Ye Jia fell into a deep sleep, woke up again, it was still dark in front of him.

"It's still dark," she murmured.

"It's on, but it's buried so deep that I can't see it." His voice was still low, "It's been nine hours."

As soon as the voice fell, the space shook violently again, and the surrounding broken bricks and tiles fell down. Ye Jia screamed, only feeling that someone suddenly protected her, and smashed her head into a hard chest. Hands protect her head.

Ye Jia tightly closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. After a long time, the surroundings fell silent again, and the aftershock seemed to have passed.

He coughed lightly, stretched out his hand and waved it to disperse the smoke and dust. His body and hair were full of dust.

Ye Jia's eyes filled with tears again, she felt fear and despair, and her voice kept trembling: "Brother, will we die?"

Will you die?He doesn't know...

However, how should he discuss the life and death that he may face next with a little girl who has not yet established the three views.

This question...is obviously a bit out of line.

Reason is not enough to help him answer, so he can only be emotional once.

"No." His voice was firm and powerful, "Definitely not."

There was a sense of peace in his words, Ye Jia believed his words and felt relieved.

After that aftershock, Ye Jia's leg that had been pressed all the time finally moved out, but due to the long-term oppression, her leg became numb. Then, she felt a pair of hands covering her, and began to massage her leg muscles. The strength was measured and felt very comfortable. When he touched her feet, which were wearing cotton socks, Ye Jia flinched in embarrassment.

"Big brother……"

"It has been pressed for so long, if the blood vessels are not properly dredged, there will be problems." The subwoofer explained.

Ye Jia shut her mouth obediently, and let his hands pinch the flesh on her legs, thighs, calves, ankles...

Her face turned red inexplicably.

The girl's thoughts are quietly growing in the desperate situation of life and death.

I don't know how long I was trapped.

Hungry and thirsty... In order to maintain their strength, neither of them spoke or moved.

In the darkness, a sob was clearly audible.

Ye Jia gritted her teeth, tears rolled down her cheeks, but she refused to cry out.

After an unknown amount of time, a pair of warm palms stretched out and grabbed her little hand.

"Don't be afraid." His voice was a little weak.

In the darkness, one big and one small held hands tightly, conveying warmth and strength to each other.

Aftershocks continued one after another, he kept protecting her, and in the desperate darkness, the two cuddled up to each other.

Ye Jia was awakened by the sudden movement. She was so weak that she could barely move her fingers. Her lips were chapped and peeled, her body was severely dehydrated, and her consciousness was already erratic.

There seemed to be voices coming from outside...

Ye Jia's spirit shivered!
"Big Brother! Someone is here to save us!" Ye Jia shouted in surprise with a hoarse voice.

No one responded.

"Big brother?"

In the dark, deathly silence.

Ye Jia's heart was suddenly empty, and she crawled to his side, grabbed his clothes, touched his face, and called again tentatively: "Big brother?"

The face was dry and sticky.

Brother, you must be asleep...

Ye Jia found the mobile phone in his pocket, turned on the ringer, and with the last bit of strength, climbed to the wall and turned up the volume towards the gaps in the ruined walls.

"There are voices inside!"

"There are survivors!"

The movement outside became louder and louder, and soon, there was a rustling of dust on one side of the wall.

"Is anyone there?" A man's voice came.

"There are...two..." Ye Jia replied weakly.

There was a crack in the wall, and a ray of sunlight suddenly slipped into the darkness and hit his face.

Bloody face!

Ye Jia's eyes widened suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he said hoarsely, "Big Brother!"

After several violent aftershocks, he used his body to protect her.

The world collapses.

"Big brother!" Ye Jia crawled over and grabbed his collar with all his might, tears rolling down his face, "Big brother, wake up, we are saved, big brother!"

A pair of strong hands grabbed Ye Jia's arms, and the people outside encouraged: "Don't be afraid, we are here to save you..."

"It's a little girl, not sure about the injury, call the doctor, stretcher!"

Ye Jia was dragged away from her big brother by those hands, and she grabbed something off her clothes...

It only takes a second to go from darkness to light.

She shed tears, looked at him, and fell asleep in the night forever...

Afterwards, there was no more news about him, and he did not know whether he was dead or alive.

Ye Jia stayed in the hospital for several days. The sister nurse said that when she was unconscious, her fists were still tightly clenched and she couldn't open them no matter what.

The lake-blue police badge, which was completely stained with blood, lay quietly in her hand, shining brightly.

He was educated at the police station for four days, but he was never seen again.

On the way back, Ye Jia kept muttering his name.

"Captain Fu, Fu Zhiyan."

It turns out that your name is Fu Zhiyan... In Ye Jia's eyes, there was a layer of misty water color.

It turns out that you are still alive...

She lowered her head and counted the steps under her feet. If Tao Di hadn't pulled her, she would have hit the electric pole in front of her.

Tang Fei shook his head, and secretly whispered to Lu Jing and Tao Di beside him: "Why has Ye Jia followed a demon these days?"

Tao Di had no choice but to pull Ye Jia's hair: "Don't worry about Huai Chun, we were released so quickly, thanks to Mr. Xu's phone call as guarantee. Later, we will go thank him for us."

"Why don't you go?" Ye Jia came back to his senses, shrugged his nose, and there was a sparkling rhinestone on his nose, which was extraordinarily bright under the setting sun.She glared at them angrily, "If you do something bad, go ahead and get scolded, it's all due to me...Who are you guys!"

"Hey." Tang Fei grinned, "Once Mr. Xu saw us, he used his cane to chase people away, and it was you, Ye Jia, who cooked such delicious dishes... You should go to him if he likes him the most."

Ye Jia, Tao Di, Lu Jing, and Tang Fei are gangsters in this area of ​​southern Jiangsu. They have a very close relationship. They hang out in the streets and alleys, committing all kinds of evil, but they never let up on trivial matters.Except for Lu Jing who was admitted to S University this year, Tang Fei and Ye Jia dropped out of high school after graduating from high school. Tao Di is older than them. Her ideal is to become a star. After graduating from university, she became a resident singer in a bar. Now Tang Fei Serving dishes in the restaurant, while Ye Jia, driving a battery car, delivered food around the streets.

Happy families are all alike, but every unhappy life is unhappy in its own way.

At the intersection, the four said goodbye.

Tao Di and Tang Fei walked together along the way, and Lu Jing and Ye Jia lived closer, so they walked together.

Midsummer is sunny, and in less than ten days, it will be the start of school season.

"Ye Jia, I think, you are still young, so it's not an option to go on like this. You should prepare and take the college entrance examination. Girls don't want to go to college now. In the future..." Lu Jing has been brewing for a long time before finishing his words. It was interrupted by Ye Jia.

"Alright, college student, jump into the pit by yourself and don't pull other people. I'm used to being free and easy. I don't like going to school to be controlled. Asking me to carry my schoolbag to class for an hour or two, it's terrible!"

"But you can't deliver food for a lifetime, can you?"

"Who said I want to deliver food for the rest of my life?" Ye Jia clenched his fists and said confidently, "When I save enough money, I will open a restaurant that will serve delicacies from all over the country, even from all over the world!"

The setting sun also casts a layer of brilliance on her great ambition...

Although Lu Jing felt that it was unrealistic, he didn't say anything. He just said, "Anyway, all my college entrance examination materials are there. If you need them, you can ask me to get them anytime. Also, S University is in the downtown area of ​​the city. In the future, if there are any You can come to me at any time with any study problems."

Ye Jia felt that if it was because of this reason, she would never go to him in her whole life.

The accompanying journey is always short. At the end of the alley, there is a small and cramped rental building.

Say goodbye to Lu Jing in a hurry and go home.

The house is small, deserted, but neat and clean.There was a small desk next to the window, covered with multicolored notes, all of which were Ye Jia's experience in cooking.There was a thick cowhide notebook on the table, which seemed to be quite old. Ye Jia walked over and opened it carefully. On the title page of the notebook, there was a light pen font on the title page, which was strong and powerful: "Four Square Food Collection" - Lu Zefu.

That earthquake took the lives of both parents.

At home, only Ye Jia was left alone.

Because of her young age, her parents' property belonged to her guardian uncle and aunt. Only this thick notebook is the most precious inheritance left by her father.In it, it recorded in detail his father's half-life experience as a diner, as well as the recipes of Sifang Cuisine. Ye Jia began to study this notebook very early, hoping to complete his father's unfinished ambitions in this life.

Ye Jia called Mr. Xu to inquire about his physical condition and current situation.

"Damn girl, you only think of the old man when you get into trouble."

"Mr. Xu, Jiajia felt wronged when you said this. Whenever you are greedy, Jiajia never came to serve you." Ye Jia said with a smile in the old man's favorite tone, "Come again tomorrow, old man What do you want to eat, Jiajia will make it for you."

"Coincidentally, a friend of mine will come over tomorrow. I can eat anything, the old man. It is my friend who has never had a good appetite. Watch and make some appetizers for him. Also try your good craftsmanship."

……

Ye Jia pondered, his appetite was poor, and he turned to a certain page of the notes, and a few lines of words caught his attention, on which were written Ye Zefu's notes: "The steamed lotus leaf powder from Shichahai, served with river fresh ice bowl and crystal elbow, The taste is rare, and Yu often dreams back at midnight, thinking about it, unforgettable."

Steamed lotus leaf powder, river fresh ice bowl, crystal elbow...

One big dish, paired with two delicious side dishes, especially this river fresh ice bowl, the best appetizer...

Early the next morning, Ye Jia hurried out to the market to purchase materials.

First go to the lotus pond in Wumaqiao to buy fresh lotus leaves and lotus roots, go to Weixiutang to buy walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, and mung beans, go to Xinghua Winery to buy four liang of bamboo leaves, and then go to the vegetable market to buy I bought a freshly killed chicken...Ye Jia likes to read idle books in her spare time. The book said: "Only by going to places that ghosts know can you find the flavor that ghosts only know."

Carrying big bags and small bags, he entered a resident's compound. In the spacious and bright corridor, the door of a house was open. Ye Jia entered with a plastic bag, and an old man with half-white hair got up to greet him. It was Old Xu. Although Old Xu was nearly seventy years old, he was still in good shape, and his youthful tough demeanor could still be seen in his demeanor.

"Miss Ye is here? Come in quickly, look at this sweaty face, come in and blow some air." In the living room, Old Xu turned on the electric fan to face Ye Jia.

It's summer, Ye Jia didn't expect to have an air conditioner in Xu's hometown, the old man doesn't like to blow air conditioner after all.

Mr. Xu's wife also left early, and his only son also passed away unexpectedly, and now he lives alone. Ye Jia couldn't bear the loneliness of the old man, so he happened to be a good eater, so she often came over to make some homework for him side dishes.Because Mr. Xu said that there were guests today, she went to collect ingredients early in the morning and prepared a big meal to entertain the guests. By the way... Thank you Mr. Xu for your help this time.

"Old man, it's not hot, you can blow it up. I'm going to the kitchen. You said that there are guests coming, so don't dare to neglect. Today is a big meal, so you have to prepare it in advance."

"Thanks a lot."

"It's not hard, Mr. Xu, you got me out. I have to thank you very much." Ye Jia entered the kitchen of Xu's house with his pockets in his hands.

"Stinky girl, I won't mention it, but you brought it up yourself." Mr. Xu was full of anger when he said it, and raised his voice, "Following around with Tang Fei and Tao Di all day long, if you don't learn well, The optics are bad, if I were your father, I could beat you with a big horse whip!"

Seeing Xu's temper flared up again, Ye Jia put the pocket on the kitchen counter, and said in a low-browed manner: "Yes, yes, Jiajia won't dare again, if you do it again next time, you will whip me!" , the skin is torn apart, I will never tremble!"

Mr. Xu let out a muffled snort, and left the kitchen. Not long after, he moved the vertical electric fan over and placed it at the kitchen door, blowing on Ye Jia.

In fact, although Mr. Xu was stern on the surface, he cared for her completely.

Ye Jia felt a warm feeling in her heart. At this time, there are not many people who love her, and if there is one, she must be cherished.

Rinse the old lotus leaves and young lotus leaves selected at a ratio of [-] to [-], then cut the tender chicken into small pieces, add poria cocos powder with rice noodles, stir well, wrap it with lotus leaves, and steam it in a casserole...
