Chapter 13: Shaking

I woke up early in the morning and washed up. It turned out that Tiya went to the cafeteria to make some fried pancakes with flour for breakfast. It seemed that the taste was better than Qi Tianlin. Tiya was a little slow and didn't want to move. Qi Tianlin urged her several times, and later dragged her away from the cafeteria, so she didn't get on the road until almost noon.

Qi Tianlin didn't bring any extra weapons, so he inserted a P226 into the back. Tiya thought about it herself and only brought the dagger. Qi Tianlin glanced at her and hid the May 4 pistol carefully under the corner of the wall, not caring.

There are no cars on the road. Occasionally, there is a shabby pickup truck or sedan, which is whizzing by in a hurry, and I dare not carry passers-by of unknown origin at all.

Qi Tianlin put on the dry military windbreaker, jeans, carried a small backpack, which contained some cakes and two empty coke bottles of edible water. Tiya was much simpler. She found a large piece of white cloth, cut it up and then wrapped it on her small body, and then became a robe. She covered her face, grabbed the back of Qi Tianlin's clothes, and walked silently along the side of the road.

The wind and sand were still a bit heavy, and Qi Tianlin soon became dirty. His hair was a little long and even messy, but he felt it was better. He stood up his collar and slightly blocked the lower half of his face to hide the characteristics of the Oriental people.

But as she walked, Tia's speed was a little too fast to keep up with Qi Tianlin. She was less than Qi Tianlin's chest, so her steps were naturally not as big as him, and her physical fitness was very different, but she kept gritting her teeth and trying to keep up.

Qi Tianlin didn't reach out to help: "Make your breath evenly, control yourself, pace your steps, and try to save effort. In the future, exercise more if you have nothing to do. Being healthy is the capital to survive in this troubled world."

But for these sixty or seventy kilometers, Qi Tianlin planned to arrive in five or six hours. He didn't want to run, but he was marching in a hurry. In less than half an hour, the little girl was exhausted and was about to fall. Then Qi Tianlin reached out and carried her on her backpack: "It's pretty good. You ran four or five kilometers in this half an hour. The little girls in our place probably couldn't hold on for a kilometer."

The little girl really didn't have the strength to speak, so she slowly reached out to take out a bottle of water from her backpack. Qi Tianlin reminded: "Drink slowly, I can only drink a little. I added some salt, took a small sip at a time, swallowed slowly and took another sip."

In fact, he didn't ask for it, and Tiya really didn't have the strength to drink. She just slapped on Qi Tianlin's shoulder and sucked water, and occasionally pulled the corner of her robe to wipe the sweat on Qi Tianlin's forehead...

Finally recovered a little physical strength, and then slowly climbed onto Qi Tianlin's shoulder from above the backpack, then rode on Qi Tianlin's shoulder and hugged his head, feeling satisfied and wanted to take a nap.

Even if Qi Tianlin carried her, she was actually similar to the previous armed forces, only sixty or seventy pounds. Moreover, her body is completely different now, and she deliberately wanted to try her load-marching ability, just like a child who always had to try everything when he got a toy he liked.

So he became more deliberately faster and moved forward in a similar manner as a race walk. Finally, he saw the outline of Averland's city from afar at supper, and he could enter the city in at most half an hour.

Qi Tianlin felt a little bit farewell for no reason, and said to his head: "Here, it's here, I'll be separated later..." Maybe it was the mood of the stupid man Otal who had been lonely for too long, or maybe he became a little sentimental when he left those comrades?

The little girl who had not made a sound finally spoke: "I want to urinate..." She also turned Qi Tianlin's head to look at the left, where there was an abandoned earthen house.

Qi Tianlin walked over and put down Tiya, and squatted down on the shade to find the cake from his backpack, and found that there was only one water bottle, which was a little strange.

But after waiting for a while, the little girl didn't make any noise. Qi Tianlin opened his throat and shouted twice. Without agreeing, he immediately put down the pancake and water, habitually pulled out his pistol, moved slowly against the wall, squatted in the corner, looked at it quickly and took it back... No one...

He searched along the wall again, but there was still no one!

The surrounding terrain is actually quite wide, so it is impossible for someone to hijack it. While thinking and looking carefully, Qi Tianlin saw a sentence written with charcoal on the white earthen wall: "I'm going home to cook, Tiya" is quite beautifully written in tadpole!

Qi Tianlin was a little amused and crying. He had to go back dozens of kilometers. The little girl was alone? Most of the time he was hiding around. He understood that the child just didn't want to go to the city to find relatives.

He inserted the gun back to his back: "Here you come out... and see your uncle when you go to the city. If it's not good, let's go back together..." There was no response.

Qi Tianlin went back to pack up the cakes and water, and counted them down, and found that there were a few less cakes. It seemed that Tiya had already planned it. Maybe she was really planning to walk home by herself, maybe she could come tomorrow night. The children of this poor family were very strong.

After taking the backpack, Qi Tianlin threatened the child again: "If I don't come out again, I'm really leaving?" Still no response.

Qi Tianlin set out cursingly, walked out about a few hundred meters, leaning against the rolling hills, and sneaked back, preparing to catch the little fugitive.

But he squatted there for a long time without notice any movement. The sky was about to end, so he had to stand up and shout, "Tiya... come out, it's dark, I won't go to the city today..." It was too dark and I couldn't see the situation of the temple. It would be better to curl up here all night. The main reason is that this child would be in danger of hiding here alone. But after all, he still has a partner, so he felt that he still had to find her.

But even though he called so affectionately and had been trying for a long time, he still didn't get any response. Qi Tianlin had to believe that the little girl had really gone far away. He couldn't find this dark and lit up. He cursed the disobedient child in Chinese a few times, and found a corner that could shelter from the wind, intending to be the bedroom today.

It's actually still early, but Qi Tianlin has this good habit when he is away. The so-called napping method can be used to snit for twenty minutes to half an hour every three or four hours, and you can stay in good condition for more than ten days. This kind of vigilance can avoid any dangers in the wild to the greatest extent.

But not long after he closed his eyes, he heard a slight breathing sound. Then he turned his head and saw a small hole in the sand wall of the broken house built against the hills. It was blocked by a wooden board just now, but he didn't notice it!

Qi Tianlin looked at the small hole a little stunned. Sure enough, Tiya's little arms and legs came out of the hole, and stood proudly in front of him with her waist!

Qi Tianlin coughed dryly before speaking: "You...if I don't come back, are you going to really walk back by yourself?"

Tiyala nodded vigorously through the small cloth bag tied around her waist: "Yeah!"

Qi Tianlin curled up his hands in dissatisfaction and planned to doze off: "How much do you hate your uncle?"

Tiya came over and pulled him into his sleeve and pleaded: "Don't let me go to my uncle's house. He is not a good person. It would be even worse to sell me to someone else..."

Qi Tianlin was about to fall asleep and was impatient with her side: "Okay, okay, whatever you want..."

The little girl walked around him and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Let's eat some cakes... what I cook..." Before she finished speaking, she heard footsteps outside the hut.
