It must be said that due to the long detention time, she often felt dazed, but the symptoms were not very obvious and she calmly fooled them away.
The dysmenorrhea is a bit difficult to deal with. After suffering in the [Archives], she was still negatively affected after returning to the port area. Akagi received a lot of cold faces because of this.
Su Xin knew that this situation was very abnormal, but she had no way to change the situation and didn't know when the turning point would come.
How did she die in that world? Why did she give the ring to the child? What happened to the others?
There were many unanswered questions that Su Xin couldn't figure out, so she couldn't just stop there. But she couldn't just ask Helena, right?
Just when she was at her wits' end, she finally encountered the turning point of the whole incident.
"Sister, sister, come out and see, it's snowing!"
"Ahem... Nana, run slower, don't fall." Su Xin came out of the room wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket. "In one night, we can actually make a snowman... That's great."
"Hey, it's too cold. Sister, please go in quickly. I'll go wake up Santiago and the others. I'll call you when breakfast is ready."
"Ahem, haha... OK, thank you for your hard work."
Little Helena smiled and walked back with a crunching sound, following her own footsteps, afraid of damaging the smooth and beautiful snow surface in the yard.
Su Xin didn't stay outside for long. She went back to the room with her neck shrunk and put a smaller coat on the spot where she had just been lying, intending to cover Wen Yue.
The winter here is very cold. At least there is an air conditioner in the house that was bought from Jiang Jue. Outdoors, we rely on clothes and hot water bottles for heating, which makes it very difficult for Su Xin, who is weak.
Just two days ago, I caught a cold and coughed without paying attention. Fortunately, Wen Yue is a ship girl and cannot be infected by human diseases, otherwise Su Xin would probably not be able to sleep well at night.
"Wow, there's so much snow.
A very recognizable voice sounded outside, indicating that the noisiest person in the courtyard had entered. Su Xin smiled helplessly and patted Wen Yue, who was frowning slightly.
"Is it time to wake up? Ahem... there's a lot of snow outside, and your sister Santiago is ready to play."
The little Wen Yue opened her eyes dazedly, took a few breaths, and then stretched out her arms to Su Xin, "Um... hug..."
Su Xin leaned on him, half-pulled him out of bed, and wrapped him in a warm coat. "Go brush your teeth first, and put on gloves before you go play, okay?"
"okay…"
After sending Wen Yue out, Su Xin was not idle either. She folded the quilt, turned off the air conditioner, and made sure the hot water bottle and heat pad were ready before she left the room with a light cough.
It turned out that this was a real personal effort. The thick snow in the yard had already been eaten up by the enthusiastic little Santiago and his new follower Dierst.
Looking around, there were footprints everywhere, some deep and some shallow, and there were even a few human-shaped depressions. Looking at the snow stains on little Santiago's body, it was estimated that he had fallen.
But this did not affect the other party's enthusiasm at all. He even ran over and picked up Wen Yue, threatening to send her across the "snowfield" to the finish line. As a result, they both fell to the ground, laughing and fluttering.
The children didn't have a fever or a cold, so Su Xin didn't bother them and got up to go to the kitchen to ask for hot water.
At that time, little Helena thought her good friend was just exclaiming, but she didn't know that the white snow had been completely destroyed.
After entering the room, Su Xin was led to the heat source. She was looking forward to what was going to happen next. It would be better if she could make some noise so that she wouldn't have to wake Jiang Jue up.
Although Anchorage was also interested in the thick snow, she was not as lively as little Santiago. After washing up, she went straight to the kitchen to find her big sister.
"My pants...are wet..."
"Hmm? Where?" Su Xin gently led her over and took a look. "Hmm... your trouser legs are a little wet. They're stuck in there, right?"
"Um…."
"Is it cold? Sit inside and warm yourself by the fire so it will dry faster."
Anchorage smiled obediently. After entering, he squeezed together with Su Xin, who was wrapped up like a ball, and stared blankly at the flames in the stove.
Little Helena brought over half a bowl of rice porridge soup, "Sister, drink this? As for the medicine... I'll make it for you after dinner. It seems to be better for your stomach."
"Ahem...thank you. I'll just take care of the rice porridge. Why don't you go out and play for a while?"
The child, who had never seen Su Xin cook seriously in the past six months, was naturally very relieved about his admired big sister. He thanked her sweetly and then went out under Su Xin's expectant eyes.
"..."
Su Xin leaned close to the confused Anchorage and counted down softly: "3...2...1..."
"SAN DIEGO!!!"
Anchorage blinked her eyes and looked at her elder sister with great admiration, "So...awesome..."
Su Xin, who had put on a good show in front of the child, smiled but said nothing. She sniffed as she listened to the noisy chatter outside, thinking that Jiang Jue should be waking up soon.
"Anbao, don't you want to go out and play?"
"I want to accompany...teacher..."
I don’t know if it was because the title “sister” had lost its novelty, or because Su Xin had been teaching the children intermittently, but one day Anchorage suddenly changed his tone and started calling her teacher.
Although her sister was more accustomed to it, being called teacher actually felt good. At least it fulfilled her dream of being a teacher in a lecture hall. Su Xin quite liked it.
"Well, thank you... ahem, thank you Anbao, would you like some water?"
Anchorage nodded, and before Su Xin got up to scoop it, she consciously covered the edge of the bowl and took a sip. The slightly sticky rice soup was at just the right temperature and had a sweet taste.
"Good...drink..."
"You... are lucky to be a ship girl, otherwise you would have been infected by me."
"Teacher...get well soon..."
"Hehe... ahem, I'm borrowing your good words."
Jiang Jue didn't want to get up in the cold weather, but the noise outside was too noisy, leaving her no choice but to get up, change her clothes angrily, open the door and shout:
"What are you doing so early in the morning?! Can't you let me sleep?"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I hit it. I told you my aim is always pretty good~"
Jiang Jue raised his hand to cover his forehead and slowly brushed off the snow on his face. He glanced at the smug little Santiago in the yard and sneered with gritted teeth.
"Haha... I'll just pretend I've washed my face. I'll teach you a lesson!"
Little Santiago was not afraid at all. He bent down, pinched a loose snowball, and threw it, while announcing the name of the move: "Heavenly Flower Scattering!"
Jiang Jue crouched down with his head in his hands, then quickly jumped into the yard and grabbed a handful of snow, "Oh... Oh my god, a new disc!"
Amid the laughter of little Santiago, little Helena threw the snowball in her hand with a wooden face, "...How can you recite lines while fighting?"
Master Xiao Jue was furious, "Don't you know that time and space will stop when you transform and recite a move?! Do you understand the rules?"
The two light cruisers, who had hardly watched any cartoons, didn't care about this and kept launching a torrential attack. Jiang Jue was hit by several bullets and fell to the ground in the snow.
"...So...don't stop..."
"..."
Little Santiago scored another goal for the over-performing guy, and then asked his friend: "...What is she doing?"
"...I don't know, it's broken?" Little Helena continued, suspecting that she had used too much force.
Wen Yue was startled and wanted to go over to help him, but he got up by himself and wiped his face angrily, "Hey! You should have shouted 'Captain QA Q'!"
After confirming that the other party was fine, little Helena nodded with satisfaction, then swung her hand and hit him on the forehead. Jiang Jue forcibly pulled Wen Yue over to form an alliance, and the two sides fought around the yard for a long time until they were exhausted.
After listening for a long time, Su Xin finally emerged from the kitchen. "The water is ready. Take a shower and change clothes before eating."
"Good~"
Only after everyone had finished cleaning up and had breakfast did they have time to clean the yard.
Although Su Xin didn't think it was a big deal, others thought that there was too much snow and that she might fall, so they decided to clean up the yard for fear that she would get hurt.
Su Xin glanced out the window at Anchorage, as well as the unsatisfied little Santiago and Wen Yue, and after a moment of thought, she made a suggestion:
"How about this... Use a broom to separate them into four pieces. I'll walk on the cross-shaped path. Even if I fall, I'll just fall into the snow, and the remaining snow will be for you to play on. How do you think?"
"Really? Okay~"
"As expected of the person I like, you are so smart hehehe..."
Su Xin glanced at the no longer responsive little Helena, feeling quite satisfied and relieved that she had cut off the forbidden love. Little did she know that the other party was just secretly taking notes in her little notebook.
As for Jiang Jue, after living together for such a long time, Su Xin could actually tell what she was thinking.
Compared to a beautiful wife who she must marry, perhaps the companionship of someone of the same age and kind is what she really wants. The type of relationship doesn't matter. As for why it's Su Xin...
Maybe because she has too many interesting tags (sickly, MAX power, etc.)?
Life was getting better and better, which made Su Xin breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing the girls in good health cleaning the yard, she had to go back to the kitchen to get some food and prepare to feed the hen that came with a bow tied all over it.
I didn't expect that after searching for a while, I finally found its frozen body in the snow behind the house.
Well, originally we didn’t lock the chicken in the house because we were afraid it would defecate everywhere, but it suddenly snowed heavily last night and the chicken froze to death.
Su Xin had no sympathy for this bird that would not be very cute when it grew up. She grabbed the chicken's neck and carried it into the kitchen, where she boiled water to scald its feathers under the sympathetic gaze of the surrounding children.
The smell of poultry was not very pleasant. It spread everywhere when it touched the hot water. Little Santiago bravely pulled a hair, sniffed it twice, and then covered his nose.
Su Xin smiled, pinched the feather and drove them outside to continue sweeping the snow, while she dealt with this "old friend" who liked to urinate and defecate everywhere.
In order to live a better life, Su Xin would watch some relevant videos and read some books in her spare time in the port area. Although she had never put any practice into practice, she had all the theoretical knowledge and could handle it fairly easily.
Since the chicken was not bled, she had to cut it into small pieces and try to squeeze out the coagulated blood to prevent the fishy smell from being too strong to eat.
After washing it several times, put it in the pot and blanch it once to cook out as much blood as possible, so that the taste will not be affected too much when you make soup or cook dishes later.
The aroma of the meat was very obvious, especially in the cold winter, and it could drift far away with the wind, not only arousing the appetite of the children in the yard, but also attracting a staggering woman in the distance.
When Su Xin put the meat into the basin, she suddenly heard the children outside screaming. She was stunned for a moment and immediately rushed out of the kitchen, "What happened?!"
I saw that several people who were originally sweeping the yard ran to the gate of the yard. One or two of them looked very pale. The only one who remained calm was Jiang Jue, who frowned and took out his phone.
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on the area? How come someone slipped over here? Are you looking for trouble?!"
Su Xin had a guess and staggered to the gate of the courtyard. She found a man with white hair lying outside, and it was not clear whether he was dead or alive.
Jiang Jue advised everyone to go back, "I will find someone to deal with it, you guys stop looking and go inside first?"
Su Xin didn't move. She always felt that this person was inexplicably familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was. Driven by curiosity, she jumped over Jiang Jue and used all her strength to turn the man over.
It was a bloody face, the wounds had turned purple from the cold, the liquid had solidified into dark red ice crystals, and the lips were so white that they were almost as white as the snow.
But the light white mist would still be exhaled intermittently from the nasal cavity, and this pair of eyebrows and eyes was the same one Su Xin had seen before, on the sea where the two Sirens were buried.
"...【enterprise】?"
Chapter 690 From Outside the World 2 (Combined
"Sister, she, she's not dead...?"
Su Xin touched Wen Yue's head and looked at [Enterprise] who was lying unconscious on his bed, "...Not yet, can you help me get a basin of water?"
"okay."
After watching the well-behaved child leave, Su Xin finally had time to carefully observe the wounded man.
If we exclude the possibility of having the same name and origin, judging from her bloodstained face, she is indeed the mysterious [Enterprise], but she doesn't look as vicissitudes of life as when they first met.
In fact, it is not very appropriate to use the word "mature" to describe the ship girls, because they will not age with time and will always be young and beautiful.
But when Enterprise came to clean up the mess when Helena went berserk, it really gave people a feeling of being extremely exhausted but having to keep moving forward.
Su Xin once thought that was calm and composed, but now it seems that she was probably tired.
The ice crystals formed by the blood began to melt under the action of the heat, and the frozen wounds gradually warmed up, overflowing with tissue fluid and plasma, which looked somewhat terrifying.
Since the ship girls don't need air conditioning when sleeping, only her and Jiang Jue's room have heating.
Of course, Xiao Jue Ye was unwilling to take in this half-dead girl. It was good enough that he didn't throw her out on the spot. Su Xin could only put her in her own room.
In order to prevent stains from dirtying the bed, she deliberately laid a sheet on it. Now the mud, blood plasma and body fluids had stained it extremely mottled, which scared Wen Yue who came in with a basin.
"Sister...sister...she, she..."
"Well, it's okay, just leave it here. Can you help me check on your sister Jiang Jue? Don't let her kick others, okay? I'll be right out."
"well…"
Su Xin sent Wen Yue out, glanced at Jiang Jue who was furious at his men in the yard, smiled at the other three as a consolation, then closed the door and went back.
Although Enterprise's condition looks terrible, she is a ship girl after all, so there is no need to worry about superficial injuries; what should be feared is damage to the ship's equipment.
After not waking up for such a long time, it is very likely that the ship's equipment has been severely damaged. In this case, either let a repair ship handle it, or soak it in repair fluid until it recovers.
But in this remote place, the roads were blocked by heavy snow and the mountain paths were rugged. Even if Jiang Jue relied on his ability to find it, it would take some time to deliver it.
Su Xin hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to take out her [Metal Sheet for Repair] that had never appeared in this world.
