The wrench-shaped metal piece was small and thin, half a finger's length, and felt cold to the touch. Su Xin turned up Enterprise's collar, pressed it under the collarbone, and then covered it again. The small wrench began to work, and a faint light spread from Enterprise's chest to the surroundings, then penetrated into the body and disappeared. The reaction of the metal piece meant that [Enterprise]'s life was saved. Su Xin breathed a sigh of relief, wrung out the towel and wiped the other person's face. Because the wound was deep and the coagulated blood and tissue fluid needed to be cleaned, no matter how careful she was, she couldn't avoid touching the wound, causing [Enterprise] to moan subconsciously. It was a good thing that they felt pain, and Su Xin was surprised that the powerful [Enterprise] could also feel pain. The wounds on the body were not easy to deal with. It was not because she was shy, but she was afraid that the other party would mind it. Anyway, she had a small wrench and could wash it herself when it got better. After simply wiping her limbs, Su Xin helped to tidy up her clothes. After thinking for a while, she folded the other half of the sheet and covered her with it. It finally looked much better. "Are you guys here on vacation? If the telescope is broken, why don't you buy another one? How did such a big person get here? You tell me you don't know?!" Listening to the scolding outside, Su Xin shook her head, picked up the basin, opened the door and went out, "Okay, I've been scolding for so long, that's enough." Jiang Jue turned around with a puffy face, and when he saw who had spoken, he relaxed his expression, kicked him again and scolded, "Why don't you get out? Bring some medicine and bandages, and drive carefully on the road. If you flip over, I won't rescue you!"
"Yes, Miss!" Su Xin had heard this kind of veiled rhetoric many times before, so she didn't say anything. She just waved at her, "What do you mean by 'leak someone over here'?" "Uh... it means to protect everyone's safety..." Jiang Jue hesitated for a long time and sighed, "Well, I just don't want to be disturbed by others, so I drove away everyone who came near here..." "You didn't hit anyone?" Jiang Jue shook his head quickly, "No, no, they were mostly homeless people. I gave them some money and then frightened them, but they didn't beat anyone." Su Xin also wanted to have less trouble. She was not a saint who would help everyone who came. Therefore, she was not dissatisfied with Jiang Jue's behavior. "Well... let's go in first. It's cold outside." "Eh? Ah...Okay!" The children were all in the small kitchen. No one spoke except for the sound of the firewood burning in the stove. The silence was broken only when Su Xin came in. "Sister, are you okay?" "Well, don't worry. Santiago, Wenyue, take the dog away from the stove, otherwise its fur will get frizzy. Anbao, the water in the pot is boiling, no need to add more firewood. Nana..." Su Xin looked at the light cruiser staring blankly at the pot, and her heart softened immediately, "Come here..." Little Helena came closer in a daze, and was soothed by the cold hug. Then she came to her senses and hugged back with a little panic. "Sister... will she be like the mother hen...?" "No, she just fell asleep because she was too tired. She will wake up in a few days." The little fellow, who had rarely seen dead people along the way, was no longer worried and regained his spirits. "That's good. Mother hen... um, chicken, how do you cook it?" Su Xin was weak and had originally planned to cook it into soup. Now that there was an injured person, she naturally needed more nourishment, so she threw the chicken directly into the pot and covered it. "Well... drink the soup. As for the seasoning... I'll have to trouble you, okay?" The feeling of being needed made little Helena very happy, "Yes! I will try my best to make it delicious!"
"Sister, do you really want to keep her here? If you want to save her, I can take her back to town for treatment. There's no need to keep her at home, right?" Su Xin looked at Jiang Jue who pulled her into a corner to discuss something, and found it hard to explain for a moment. Indeed, if one wants to avoid trouble and live a quiet life, it is natural to keep companies of unknown origin as far away from here as possible. But for Su Xin, this person can be considered an old acquaintance, and he is also the only abnormality that has appeared in such a long time, and he may very well become the turning point of the whole story. She wanted to know what would happen next and was eager to get a glimpse of the future from the Enterprise. If she gave up, only God knew if there would be a next time. Rather than an "accident", she believes that the arrival of [Enterprise] is "a predetermined destiny". The other party was seriously injured and unconscious, and she happened to have a small wrench to provide treatment. If she turned a blind eye, she would be gambling the life of [Enterprise] on others. Su Xin has never liked the word "gamble". Instead of pinning her hopes on a miracle, it is better to take it herself. Therefore, it is reasonable for her to keep the other party. "...She's a ship girl, I can heal her." "No, are you a repair ship? Besides, do you have so much oil to feed more mouths? Why do you have to let a stranger ruin our lives?" "No, she's just staying here temporarily. She'll leave when her injuries heal. Our lives won't change. You don't have to be scared because of this." Jiang Jue frowned, his dissatisfaction was evident in his words, "Am I afraid? I just feel unwilling. At the beginning, I shamelessly begged you to take me in for a long time, and now? She didn't say anything, and you agreed?" "..." "So you're more willing to trust her than me? Why? Because I don't learn my lesson? Because I'm arrogant and domineering?" In fact, Su Xin did not like this little princess of the gang at first. She swore at random, was shameless, and talked about love all the time. But after being together for such a long time, it is actually very easy to see what kind of person Jiang Jue is. She is a girl who is spoiled but unsatisfied, and she longs to be treated equally by others, rather than having others flatter her for money or status. But no matter how much she understood, Su Xin only understood these things later. The initial vigilance was real, and for [Enterprise], the reason for the familiarity could not be made public. In Jiang Jue's view, this was different treatment. Su Xin didn't know how to explain, and she didn't want to lie except for pranks, so she could only apologize, "I...I'm sorry, I really didn't treat you well at the beginning." "I thought you were an overly willful young lady, so your attitude was a little... I'm sorry about that." "I have my reasons for taking her in, but I can't tell you or anyone else. I just want to ask her something, and when she gets better, I'll ask her to leave." "I did have a prejudice against you before, but now I know that I was superficial. From my perspective, you are actually in the same position as them..." "So... I hope you can forgive me... Well, I will treat you well." Jiang Jue was silent for a long time, sniffed and raised his hand, "Then... hug me..." Su Xin didn't think much about it, and took the little girl, who was a head shorter than her, into her arms, lowered her head and sighed softly in her ear, "...I'm sorry, Jue..." "...Hehe, sister is so fragrant and soft..." The hug froze, and Su Xin's originally guilty expression paused, and instantly turned into disgust. She pushed Xiao Jueye's shoulders and tried to pull him away. But the other party was like an octopus, and he couldn't be pulled away no matter how hard he tried. "You've hurt my heart so much, what's wrong with a hug?"
"Hey...are you kidding me? Why don't you let go?" "Who is playing tricks on you? I am just sad because of your different treatment. What's wrong with a little sweetness now?!" Su Xin narrowed her eyes, "You seem to have... forgotten my settings? 3...2..1 As soon as the voice fell, the chubby-faced Jiang Jue immediately let go and jumped back, running very fast, still shouting: "Sister, sister ... Su Xin felt helpless at his lazy and carefree appearance, but after thinking about it, she realized that it was indeed her own problem that made others feel uneasy. However, after this conversation, the issue of whether the company should stay or go was resolved, and Su Xin also understood some taboos in dealing with people, which can be considered a good thing. "...I hope she can wake up soon." Because the fire was turned on early, the chicken soup was simmered for a long time, and it turned from clear water into bright yellow soup, and the aroma of meat continued to dissipate. The children who seldom ate meat were all swallowing their saliva quietly, which made Su Xin feel distressed. After all, she was rich, but she didn't dare to expose her oil reserves, so she didn't buy much. The dog that followed Jiang Jue was much bigger than when he first came, but it was obviously thin overall. Today, it finally tasted meat, which made it very excited. It kept whimpering and wagging its tail. Little Helena stood on the bench and stirred the soup with a spoon. She only dared to take a sip each time, for fear that drinking a few more sips would cause Su Xin to lose nutrition. She sprinkled some salt and added nothing else, and the taste was already very delicious. As for the fishy smell caused by not draining the blood in time, it was not important at all compared to the meat. Little Santiago swallowed his saliva and said loudly, "I, I still feel sorry for the mother hen, but, but it seems really... well, it smells good..." Su Xin smiled and said, "Then eat more later." Unexpectedly, the little guy quickly shook his head and said, "Sister should eat it. It will make your body better. We can't be full by eating this. It's a bit of a waste..." Jiang Jue couldn't bear to hear this, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, when the snow stops in a few days, I'll ask them to catch a few more. What's the point of wasting them?" Seeing that the children's eyes lit up, Su Xin did not refuse and let them relax and finish the meal. As for what happened next... since Jiang Jue was there, she would just pay for it. There was only one big pot at home and the weather was cold, so little Helena did not choose to cook, but instead cooked noodles as Su Xin suggested. The meat was cut into small pieces, so everyone couldn't tell the different parts, and there was no question of being polite or not. Everyone picked up their bowls and happily ate their lunch. I have to say, because she had stayed here longer, Su Xin was even a little moved when she really got to eat the meat, and the atmosphere in the courtyard was also unusually harmonious. After the meal, there was still half a bowl of soup and meat pieces left in the pot. Little Helena planned to pack them up and store them in the space, but was stopped by Su Xin. "Enterprise, come in when you wake up. You must be hungry too." Everyone then turned their eyes away from the dog gnawing on the bone and looked at the white-haired woman standing outside holding onto the door frame. "...Do you know me?" [Enterprise] coughed twice, "...Thank you, but I have to go..." "Why don't you heal your wounds before leaving? The healing effect may be lost after you leave here." No one else understood what she said, but Enterprise, who was holding the small wrench in her hand, understood it. The situation was special and her body could not withstand any more twists and turns, so after hesitating for a moment, she had to agree. Su Xin smiled and motioned for Little Helena to bring the bowl of soup to the [Enterprise] who came in. "Eat it. After you finish eating, I will have to ask you for your 'reward'." [Enterprise] He held the slightly hot bowl with his scratched hands and was silent for a long time. Then he lowered his head and took a sip from the edge of the bowl. The delicious soup slid down his esophagus into his stomach, bringing a moving warmth.
"...Thank you. I see." Chapter 691 Trading "...Thank you for saving me." "Actually, you should thank everyone. It was them who, ahem... agreed to let you stay, so you could continue to stay in the hospital to recuperate." [Enterprise] propped himself up against the wall and shook his head. "I know, and I certainly won't forget it, but I can see that you are the one in charge." Su Xin smiled and patted the edge of the bed. "Why don't you come over and sit? I'm just a human being. There's no need to be so defensive, right?" The weak Enterprise did not answer. She took a few breaths and asked, "What reward do you want? As you can see, I am just a ship girl with nothing." "Well...but you are special enough, so special that...I have to ask you for help to get what I want." [Enterprise] had a guess in her mind, and it was a little hard to believe. To confirm, she asked: "...Is there anything in this world that other ship girls can't get, but you need?" "...There is none here, but there is one outside. Only you can help me." Simply stating the situation is the best way to save time in the conversation. At least after hearing this, [Enterprise] looked visibly more serious. "I don't know where you got this information from. Maybe... I shouldn't ask. Just tell me what the reward is. If possible, I will get it for you." "It's not difficult actually. I trust you very much. Come and sit down first. Let's talk." Su Xin smiled gently and patted the edge of the bed again. [Enterprise] stood by the wall and looked at her for a long time. She was indeed a human being, and even an extremely weak one. There was no strange smell on her... "No, it will dirty your bed." The man seemed to be stunned after hearing this, then pointed at the mottled bed sheet and said sarcastically: "Really? But it doesn't seem to be very clean anymore." This made [Enterprise] feel a little embarrassed. After all, the blood and water stains on it were indeed on his body, and it was irrefutable. In the current situation, recovering my body is the most important thing, and I am holding a strange metal in my hand... [Enterprise] thought for a moment, then sat down as he was told, "Tell me what you want." "Have you joined or founded an organization now? One whose target members are similar to you." Su Xin asked softly. The words were too straightforward and accurate, forcing [the company] to buck up and respond seriously, “Continue.” "Then you should have been to many places, right?" Su Xin paused, and seeing that the other party did not refute, she asked with a little expectation: "Then... is there anything that can obtain all the information of the ship girl and then convert it into data?" The idea of taking the children back home has always been in her mind. Su Xin, who has lived in the [Archives] for half a year, often spends time thinking about countermeasures. There is a similar machine purifier, and Little Zeppelin succeeded in materializing with its help. That thing is still stored in the Siren Base. But Su Xin couldn't bring it from her own world, just like she couldn't bring things from here back. Besides, a colleague from the Purifier team has come. Looking at the broken roof of the dormitory, he is probably not a good person. If we go over rashly or ask for the blueprints, we may get into trouble. Even if she got the design plan, she would have to study it for a while and also need a corresponding research environment, which she definitely could not do in the small courtyard at least. Moreover, whether it is possible to gather all the different materials from various worlds in the Siren Base is also a thorny problem.
Su Xin was troubled for a long time but still couldn't think of a solution, but the arrival of [Enterprise] gave her some hope, which was at least more reliable than figuring it out on her own. Under her earnest gaze, [Enterprise] pondered for a long time, and finally nodded, "...it will take some time, but it can be done." "That's great, how long will it take?" "...For me, it will be longer, but for you, you will be able to get the device after I recover from my injury." Su Xin thought for a few moments and then understood. At this time, [Helena] was still just little Helena. The world was not blocked and [Enterprise] could still enter and exit freely. After she recovered from her injuries, no matter how long she was away, as long as she returned close enough, it would only be a blink of an eye in the eyes of these "locals".
