Chapter 482: The old image reappears and shocks the old people
The middle-aged man walked around the garage, his fingertips dotted with stars, like a walking power bank.
After recharging the batteries of these frightened refugees one by one, their souls recovered very quickly.
After finishing everything, he curled his lips and revealed a smile of "an old man talking about the youth's passion".
Then he slowly walked towards the three little kids huddled together for warmth in the corner of the garage.
"Hey, there are three little bean sprouts here."
He talked to himself, his tone carrying a hint of fatherly kindness, but coupled with that cynical expression, it seemed a bit unserious.
He slowly squatted down, his eyes so gentle that they could squeeze water out of him, as if he was looking at three rare treasures.
"Come on, little ones, tell your uncle, what are your names?"
His voice was low and magnetic, like a glass of aged wine, mellow and with a hint of mystery, which made the three children unconsciously relax their guard.
"My...my name is Li Dieruo." A little girl said timidly, her big eyes full of curiosity, like two black grapes, watery.
"My name is Wang Qijia." The other little girl's voice was a little louder, but still a little nervous.
"Chen Nan'er." The last little boy spoke very sparingly, but his voice was exceptionally clear.
"Oh, not bad, the names are all nice!" The middle-aged man praised with a smile, as if he was a human trafficker who was kidnapping ignorant children.
He looked at the three children in front of him with a magical look, with a hint of doting in his eyes, as if he was meeting an old friend who had not seen him for a long time.
"Uncle, who are you?" Li Dieruo asked curiously, tilting her little head. Her curious eyes could melt the heart of even the straightest man.
The middle-aged man smiled without saying a word. He slowly reached out his hand and gently touched the top of Li Dieruo's head. His movements were so gentle as if he was stroking a fragile work of art.
The smile in his eyes grew even brighter, like the morning sun, warm and dazzling.
He slowly stood up, his eyes swept over the three little guys again, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile, as if he was planning something big, or waiting for a good show to begin.
"Hey, little friend, my uncle's name is... Li Yangde."
The middle-aged man had a mysterious smile on his face, as if he was announcing a shocking secret.
"Li Yangde?" Wang Qijia timidly repeated the name, her big eyes twinkling like stars in the night sky.
"Uncle, are you the Superman who came to save us?"
"Superman?" Li Yangde couldn't help laughing. "Little guy, you have a very rich imagination!"
"I'm not Superman!" Li Dieruo shook her little head like a rattle and retorted in a baby voice, "Superman has a cape, but you don't, uncle!"
"Right, right, right!" Chen Nan'er also nodded and added seriously, "Superman can fly, but you can't, uncle!"
The three little guys chatted with each other and instantly started a "Superman Seminar". The chirping sounds echoed in the empty garage like a group of happy little sparrows.
Li Yangde looked at these three innocent children.
"Okay, okay, I'm not Superman."
Li Yangde interrupted the children's discussion with a smile, his tone gentle enough to melt ice and snow, "Then can you tell uncle what happened here?"
The three children suddenly became quiet, looking at each other, as if they were recalling something.
After a moment, Li Dieruo spoke first.
They recounted their experiences in childish voices: "When we woke up, it was already dark. Many people were asleep and no matter how hard we called, we couldn't wake them up. Then...then we hid..."
Wang Qijia continued, "It's so scary out there. There are so many monsters, and... there are flying things..."
When she said this, her little face turned pale, as if she was back to that terrible night.
Chen Nan'er clenched her fists tightly, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes: "I saw... I saw someone being captured by a monster..."
The three children recounted what they saw and heard in a disjointed manner. Although their language was childish, it was full of fear and helplessness.
Li Yangde listened quietly, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn look.
The children's voices gradually faded away, and the garage fell into silence again.
Li Yangde's eyes fell on the three children, his expression complicated and difficult to read.
He slowly reached out his hand and gently touched their heads, his voice low and hoarse: "Thank you for telling me this..."
He paused and looked outside the garage. The garage was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. There was a faint sadness in the air, as if even the air was frozen.
He slowly stretched out his big hands and gently touched the children's heads as if he was caressing a treasure. His eyes were so gentle that tears seemed to drip from them, as if he wanted to pour all his tenderness into these young lives.
"Thank you for telling me this."
His voice was low and hoarse, like an ancient ballad, carrying the vicissitudes and helplessness of time.
After saying this, he turned and left, his back tall and lonely, like a lone soldier about to go to the battlefield.
He left calmly, without any hesitation or nostalgia, as if everything in this world had nothing to do with him.
On the edge of the city, Chen Haner and Lu Yuer stood side by side, gazing into the distance.
In the night sky, several planes flashed their lights, breaking the silence of the night, like seeds of hope, sowing in people's hearts.
"I can finally go home!" Lu Yuer breathed a long sigh of relief, her tone full of relief, as if a huge stone that had been pressing on her heart had finally fallen to the ground.
Chen Han'er also nodded gently, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face, like a plum blossom blooming in the cold winter, beautiful and strong.
"Yes, I can finally go home." She murmured to herself,
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared at the end of the street, tall and straight, but with an indescribable sense of strangeness.
Chen Haner's attention was instantly attracted, her pupils suddenly contracted, and like a frightened rabbit, all the hair on her body stood up.
"That...that is..." She squinted her eyes, trying hard to see the figure clearly, but her heart beat like a drum, faster and faster.
The figure at the end of the street became clearer and clearer, that familiar outline, that tall back.
That unique pace shocked Chen Han'er immensely, like a flash of lightning that streaked across the night sky, illuminating her entire world.
"Li...Li Yangde?!" Chen Haner's voice trembled, like a taut string that could break at any time.
She couldn't believe her eyes, as if she saw a person who couldn't exist, a ghost from another world.
Li Yangde turned around slowly, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, like a spring breeze blowing across his face, but with a hint of imperceptible chill.
"Long time no see, Han'er."
Chen Han'er's pupils trembled, and her whole body froze in place as if struck by lightning.
It's really him!
It’s really Li Yangde!
Not an illusion, not a dream!
Alive, standing in front of her!
"Li Yangde!" Chen Han'er could no longer control her emotions, and burst out like a cannonball.
I ran towards the familiar figure as fast as the wind, wishing I could throw myself into his arms in the next second.
"Hey, hey, hey, slow down, don't fall!" Li Yangde looked at Chen Han'er who was running towards him.
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid you'll disappear again..." Chen Han'er's voice was choked, like a wronged kitten, which made people feel distressed.
She ran to Li Yangde, grabbed his sleeve and held it tightly, fearing that he would disappear again if she let go.
Li Yangde gently patted Chen Haner's shoulder and said softly, "Silly girl, I won't leave again. I am no longer the same person I used to be."
As he spoke, he lightly tapped his fingertips, and a warm current flowed into Chen Haner's body, instantly replenishing her exhausted mental strength.
Chen Haner felt full of strength, all the fatigue was gone, and she felt refreshed.
She raised her head and looked at Li Yangde, "You...you are really back?"
"Well, I'm back."
Li Yangde smiled gently, "You are an excellent night watchman."
"Night watchman?"
Lu Yu'er, who was standing aside, looked bewildered, blinking her big eyes, looking at Li Yangde, then at Chen Han'er,
"Han'er, this is..."
Li Yangde turned his head to look at Lu Yuer, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a mysterious smile: "Hello, my name is Li Yangde..."
He paused, his eyes deep, as if hiding endless secrets, "An... old friend."
