Hank chuckled and said, "Then I'll tell you a story."
Sara liked to listen to stories, so he immediately sat upright and said, "You tell me."
Hank recalled for a moment and said, "I think that when you were young, I had a task, but I didn't tell you the specific content, which would frighten you. In order to complete the task, we slept in the pile of dead people for six nights. I remember that the body next to me had begun to rot. There were mosquitoes everywhere, and wild beasts attracted by the smell of blood, but we still have to hide. After the task was completed, there was a child in the team who was sick and couldn't eat food for half a month. He lived by salt and glucose."
He said it briefly. In fact, the truth was much worse than this, but it was enough to coax children.
As expected, Sara's little face wrinkled. "Is, is there a dead man around?"
"Well," Hank said lightly, "He died a terrible death."
Sara immediately covered his mouth with his hand. "... You're awesome!"
Hank slightly bent his long and narrow eyes and looked at Sara. "Do you feel better?"
Sara whispered, "Yeah."
Hank put the pen in his hand on the desk. The man's handsome face was smiling. "Kid, I want to comfort you, but I'm so sad. How can you comfort me?"
Sara never thought that there would be such a way of self-hurts comfort in the world. He thought for a long time and said, "Then, will I give you a live broadcast tomorrow and cry? But the signal here is not very good..."
Since he had to comfort others with his own sadness, Sara felt that Hank was so generous to him, and he could not be stingy. He was willing to show him such a shameful thing as crying.
Hank said, "Did you forget what uncle told you?"
Sara was at a loss. "What's that?"
"Don't let uncle see you cry." Hank's voice was low and hoarse, like the red wine that had been sealed for many years. He was drunk and said, "Unless you are here..."
"Ah, ah, ah, ah!" Sara hurriedly stopped him, his cheeks red. "You, stop talking!"
Hank chuckled and said, "You just don't have a good memory."
Sara covered his face. "Then, then I'll definitely cry when I'm sad. Tomorrow, I'll see so many bodies being burned..."
Hank said in a hoarse voice, "Then don't go to see it."
Sara paused and said softly, "Let's go and have a look. Only in this way can we know the value of life and work hard to save more people."
Hank didn't say anything for a while.
He always felt that Sara was in the opposite of himself. Sara was bright all over. When he smiled, there were bright stars in his eyes, and the sun was gentle at the corners of his lips, but he was immersed in darkness and sank into the mud of sin. His eyes were full of haze and indifference.
She was too clean, so clean that the monster that had never been in contact with the light and was born with darkness had the desire to destroy her. It desperately wanted to drag her into hell and sink into hell with her.
"Uncle?" Sara tilted his head and asked in a soft voice, "Are you in a daze?"
Hank came to his senses and said, "Have you thought of a way to comfort me?"
Sara said, "When I was a child, if I was sad, my mother would hold you high in a kiss. But uncle, I can't lift you high."
"Then let's kiss..."
Sara thought for a moment and kissed her on the phone screen. "I see."
The old hooligan continued shamelessly and shamelessly, "Then give me a hug and return it to uncle when you come back."
Sara: "..."
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! I'm so angry! This old man lied to me about my kiss!"
Sara hung up the phone angrily.
After reading a medical book, Sara yawned and looked at Elaine, who had been sitting by the window. "Go to sleep, right?"
Elaine glanced at her and said, "Go to sleep.
I'll keep watch at night for you."
Sara paused for a moment and said hurriedly, "There's no need. There's no danger here. You've been busy during the day. Hurry up and go to sleep."
As she spoke, she stepped aside to make way for him.
However, Elaine said, "No, you can go to sleep."
Sara looked at her for a while and found that she really didn't intend to sleep with her. She sighed and went to sleep.
The next day, she got up early. Elaine was still sitting by the window, as if she had not slept for a whole night. Sara wanted to ask, but when she looked at Elaine's cold face, she swallowed her words back silently.
Alex took two steamed buns for her. Sara could only finish one, and the last one was for a passing child. Sara looked at the child and suddenly said, "The patient I checked yesterday is only a little older."
Alex rubbed her head and asked, "Do you want to see her?"
Sara nodded and said, "Well, let's go and have a look."
The infected people were separated from the east side of the village. Sara put on his mask. As soon as he entered the village, he saw the medical staff carrying corpses outside. They were all the people who died last night.
Sara stood beside her and watched her quietly for a while. Then, he lowered his eyes and found the little girl from yesterday.
The little girl was only three years old. She was very beautiful and did not know how to behave herself. When she saw Sara and Alex, she called her elder sister brother.
Sara took out a piece of sugar from his pocket and gave it to her. He touched her head and said, "Do you still feel uncomfortable last night?"
The greatest pain brought by the jacket was that his whole body seemed to be burned. In accordance with the current case, the temperature of the human body could reach up to 50 degrees, which made him feel worse than death.
This little girl called Soya had been infected for some time. Yesterday, when Sara tested her temperature, it was 40 degrees. It must have been very bad last night.
But Soya said, "I don't feel uncomfortable, because I'm accompanied by my mother."
Soya's mother smiled at Sara.
All their families were infected with 7002.
Their father died the night before yesterday. He was one of the bodies to be cremated today, but because of infection, Soya and her mother couldn't even see him for the last time.
Sara praised her for being a good child and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Soya. The doctors will soon come up with a way to treat you."
Soya nodded.
Outside, Jaelyn yelled, "Sara?! What are you doing?! Hurry up and come out to work!"
Sara said goodbye to Soya and went out with Alex.
Soya looked at her back and whispered to her mother, "Mom, in fact, I know that sister lied to me. In the end, I will die like dad, right?"
Her mother touched her daughter's head. There were tears in her eyes, but she couldn't say anything.
Soya comforted her, "Mom, don't cry. I am not afraid. I will accompany you all the time."
"I'm not afraid. Soya is here." The young mother held her daughter in her arms and murmured, "Not long after... we can see your father..."
