The team member shook his head, "I'm not too sure about that. I just listened to what they said while cooking. However, Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry too much. Our leader has led people to organize many rescue missions. He is the most experienced one here. "

Who wouldn't wet their shoes when walking by the river? They didn't have the experience of eating elixirs or being able to use immortal energy to protect themselves.

"Oh, right. Sister-in-law, I brought you a candle and I'll light it for you."

Zhou Se said absent-mindedly, "Thank you."

The team members went back after lighting the candles.

Zhou Se sat alone on the sofa, watching the flickering candlelight. Suddenly, she lost her appetite.

Her uncle was an old man with arms and legs, although he had shown quite a bit of physical strength when he bullied her on the bed.

But who knew that when he participated in the rescue, his body was still not in good shape.

After all, it was a different matter.

She picked up the candle and was about to return to the bedroom, but she had only taken two steps when the candle was extinguished due to the wind blowing as she walked.

She had a bitter look on her face. No lighter, no candle.

She turned on her cell phone and sat down on the bed.

She took out her phone and called him twice but no one answered, causing her to feel even more uneasy.

At nine o'clock, the phone ran out of battery.

She really wanted to cry.

The room was dark. She lay in bed, worried and afraid, unable to sleep at all.

She just lay there. Truly, she had never felt that time was hard to bear in her life. This time passed really slowly.

After an unknown period of time, in a daze, she heard the sound of the door opening.

She sat up and looked around. The bedroom door opened and a beam of light shone in.

Zhou Se's eyes stung from the light, and he quickly turned his head away.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Ouyang Duan asked.

"Uncle ??"

Zhou Se was truly on the verge of tears. She turned around and saw that he had taken off his headlamp and placed it on the table at the side. The room had instantly become much brighter.

Zhou Se jumped off the bed and hugged him, "Uncle, you're finally back. You scared me to death."

Ouyang Duan was startled by her sudden hug.

However, hearing her tearful voice, he felt that this child was truly pitiful.

She was too used to living in a big city, so how could she bear the environment here?

He put his arm around her waist and patted her lightly. "Alright, I'm back now."

"Are you alright? I heard that there was an accident over there and someone was injured."

"Two members were hurt by the wind pushing down the trees, but they were only slightly injured and were sent to the hospital. You're so late, why aren't you sleeping?

"How can I not be afraid? The wind outside is howling like ghosts and howling like wolves. The moment I close my eyes, I will be afraid."

"Didn't I get someone to bring you a candle?"

"It went out when I came in. I heard you were hurt and you didn't answer when I called, and then my cell phone went dead." I'm worried about you and scared about you, wuu. Anyway, I'm going to die from anger, how can it be like this for all of you.

Worry? When Ouyang Duan heard these two words, he suddenly felt warm in his heart.

He had a home, and a wife who was worried about him. This feeling wasn't bad at all.

Ouyang Duan rubbed her head and said, "There's nothing left to do now. Hurry up and go to sleep. I'll go wash up and come back soon."

Zhou Se went to bed. He left the headlight in his room and returned ten minutes later. He had already cleaned everything up.

Seeing that her eyes were still wide open, he took the headlamp to the bedside and said, "Alright, I'm here now. You can sleep."

"Uncle, let's go back to the West City."

Ouyang Duan turned to look at her. "What?"

"Uncle, you should go back to the West City. My dad told you before that with your ability, you can light up and heat up wherever you go." If you are so powerful, then why are you wasting your talent here? "

She lay there staring at him, waiting for his answer.

He remained silent for a long time before he finally rubbed her head. "Go to sleep. It's very late."

He turned off the headlight and lay down.

The room turned dark again, and Zhou Se was unhappy.

He was clearly telling her that he didn't want to go back.

It was just a lost love, a man.

She turned her back to him. He might as well have said, I don't want to go back and live with you.

Zhou Se felt a wave of anger in his heart.

With this anger, she fell asleep with a wheeze.

However, because of her words, Ouyang Duan didn't fall asleep.

He kept thinking about this question. Go back, or not go back.

When he woke up the next morning, Ouyang Duan was already gone.

She lazily got up and turned on the light. The call came in.

She got off the bed and recharged her phone. It was still drizzling outside the window, but it wasn't too heavy.

Her phone turned on and she was surprised to find that it was already 11: 30.

She was speechless. Had she slept for a while?

As she lazily went to wash her face and put on a circle of washing milk, Ouyang Zongheng walked in.

"You're awake?"

"En," she answered lazily, wiping her face clean and applying a moisturizer.

Ouyang Dihua placed the dishes on the table and said, "It just so happens that you can eat."

"Look at how good I am. I saved you a meal during your sleep."

Ouyang Duan sized her up and said, "It's better if you eat more. You're too thin to feel anything."

Zhou Se frowned. This uncle, was he already able to publicly tease her now?

"Where do I not have the feeling? The areas that should be fat are fat, while the areas that should be thin are thin."

Ouyang Duo tilted his head and smiled. His child seemed to be very sensitive to this matter.

"After you've eaten your fill, you can move about on your own. It's still raining outside, so don't go out. I still need to go to work after a while of sleep."

"So you're going to bed now?" Zhou Se was surprised. "You're not eating with me?"

"I'm very tired, I'm not eating anymore. I just came back at 3 o'clock last night and went to the office again at 7: 30 in the morning. I'm very tired now."

"Ah?" You didn't get back until three last night? "

So she didn't sleep until three o'clock last night? No wonder he didn't wake up this morning.

Seeing him push open the door and enter the room tiredly, Zhou Se held back the words he had just said to him when he was about to eat.

She was pla

ing to return to the West City. Since he didn't want to leave this place, and didn't want to forget the past, she couldn't stay here with him and suffer for the rest of her life.

Some difficulties could not be overcome by her staying here.

If he didn't want to put it down, no one would be able to help him.

Furthermore... She had been here for so many days, but she had never seen Ouyang Duan show any sign of happiness.

He ?? He probably didn't want to stay here.
