Remember this station for a second: m. I put my hands on my waist, panting, and let the sweat drops on my face run down at will. At this moment, I don't have any extra strength at all, and I can't even raise my hands to wipe my sweat.

At night, a cool breeze gradually blows in the valley, and the temperature drops little by little, and finally freezes like a thousand-year-old ice cellar. In this case, people have to move all the time, because if they stop a little, they will accidentally freeze into popsicles and never move again.

"Little Joan...... That's amazing. ”

"Have you learned?"

"Probably learned. ”

"Then you come ...... I quit. ”

Fortunately, Lao Xu's book "100 Dishes for Survival in the Wild" recorded how to live in the wild, and we copied the methods in the book, experienced repeated attempts, and failed again and again, and we finally lit the fire.

Looking at the blazing flames, I didn't have a sense of pride in my heart, I just told myself that I would never do this work again.

As soon as the fire was lit, Lao Xu hurriedly ran to the cab and turned off the lighthouse on the roof of the pickup truck to save a little electricity. As soon as the lights were turned off, half of the valley was suddenly dark, and the only light was the fire on the ground.

Lao Xu and I gathered around the fire, built a grill with a few slender branches, and then used a thick wooden stick to skewer the marinated chicken and roast it on the fire. We waited and rested.

I took out the Zhuang Zhou box from my pocket, and Lao Xu also moved it curiously.

"Can you see it today?" asked Lao Xu.

I carefully checked the box, and there were no lines on the box, and the heartbell inside was not glowing white. Maybe it's because the thick cotton pool blocks the moonlight, and without the moonlight, the Zhuang Zhou box has no effect.

"No...... There was no movement at all. ”

"Why?"

"I guess there's no moonshine. It should only be visible under moonlight. ”

"I see. ”

"Alas, I really want to find diligence quickly. ”

Originally, I thought that diligence should be in this valley, but now that we have fallen into this, we should find him quickly, so I want to take a second look at diligence's location through Zhuang Zhou's box, maybe we can find him quickly.

But now it seems that this method is not working.

"Who wouldn't want to, but where can I find it?" Lao Xu lay on the ground, his head resting on his hands.

I looked ahead blankly, this valley was so big that it was really not easy to find him.

"Hey, didn't I see diligence jumping in here last time?"

I was stunned and seemed to have figured it out a little.

"Well, yes, so what? Do you want to jump too?" asked Lao Xu puzzled.

"Oh, no. That means there must be a way to go up here!"

"Hmm!!" Lao Xu frowned, his eyes glowing.

"We just need to look for him to go up at night, and then I use Zhuang Zhou's box to see his location clearly, and after confirming his location, we will come down to find him, can't we?"

"So...... It's so troublesome. "Old

Xu looked at me with a blink of an eye.

"It's not a bother!"

Lao Xu sat up slowly, his brows pressed together, as if he was very uneasy about the method I proposed.

"Little Joan......"

"Huh, what do you think?"

"I think...... This chicken is almost ready. ”

I wordlessly rolled his eyes at him three hundred and sixty degrees, then turned to examine the two chickens.

In the blink of an eye, the two chickens were already charred brown, and I took out a brush, dipped it in some honey, and applied it to the chickens. As soon as the honey is coated and the fire is roasted again, an enticing fragrance suddenly rises.

In front of this fragrant roast chicken, Lao Xu's saliva was about to flow to his chin, and my stomach was "gurgling", as if desperately reminding me that it was time to eat.

The two of us crouched around the fire, rubbing our hands, watching the fat slowly seep out of the chicken skins, wishing that time had passed a little faster, I was already hungry.

After a long while, Lao Xu glanced down at the time, then jumped up, raised his hands high, and cheered while spinning in circles, just happy like a bear child.

"Yes, at last!" he screamed.

"Quick!

Lao Xu hurriedly put on his gloves, took off the wooden sticks that skewered the two chickens, and then put them on the large plate that had been prepared long ago. The smell of barbecue fills the air, and it will take away my soul.

I stared at the roast chicken on my plate, and my saliva couldn't help but flow out. In the end, none of us couldn't help it, so we all started eating directly. I tore off a chicken leg with one hand and took a big bite of it, completely ignoring the image.

The gravy popped into my mouth, the crispy chicken skin, the tender chicken, this bite made me want to die.

"Ah...... It's delicious, isn't it? I couldn't help but sigh, "The heat and timing are just right, the outside is crispy and the inside is tender, and the flavor of the condiment is all kneaded into the muscles, the taste is really amazing." ”

"Just boast, don't be so exaggerated. ”

Lao Xu half-convinced tore off a piece of chicken, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he looked at the two roast chickens on the plate in disbelief, and shed tears of happiness.

"Oh my god, it's so delicious! It's so delicious! Xiao Qiong! You're right!

He quickly tore off a large piece of chicken, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it heavily.

"This is the best roast chicken I've ever had!"

Seeing him like this, the corners of my mouth unconsciously rose, and my heart was full of a sense of accomplishment, and it was not in vain that I had spent so much time. This feeling of being complimented, this feeling of being able to make people happy, is really good.

Without showing any weakness, I tore off a few large pieces of chicken and devoured them. At this moment, my stomach finally stopped screaming with hunger, but silently digested the food.

In the blink of an eye, there are only two handfuls of bones left of the two roast chickens in the large plate. The two of us touched our stomachs and burped with satisfaction. Lao Xu lay on the ground, his hands outstretched, in a "big" shape

, I didn't pay attention to it just now, but now I found that his whole stomach was bulging.

"Hahahaha......" I couldn't help but laugh as I looked at his big belly.

"What are you laughing at? Lao Xu looked at me with a puzzled expression.

I reached out and pointed at his big belly and couldn't help but laugh.

"I didn't find out a few days ago, why do you have such a big belly now. Haha, it's time to lose weight, old Xu!"

"Oh, what kind of weight loss, people are old, isn't it normal to have a belly?"

"Hahaha, what's the matter? You're finally admitting that you're old now?"

"Well, you didn't understand what I meant. ”

"Huh, what do you mean?"

"Alas......"

Lao Xu sighed at the cloud-like cotton pool on the zenith. I didn't understand what he meant, so I asked him, and he didn't say anything, just looked into the distance in silence, as if thinking about something.

"Since you don't want to talk about it...... Then I won't ask......"

I took a deep breath and learned to lie on the grass, looking into the distance with a free look, trying not to think about anything, not to worry about anything. Just enjoy the moment, feel the moment.

The surroundings were actually eerily quiet, except for the occasional "crackling" sound in the fire, there was no sound at all, as if entering a vacuum space.

"Xiao Qiong......" Lao Xu said suddenly, "Have you ever wondered why you are here?"

When he asked, it was like holding a small hammer and gently hitting my heart, and my whole nerves tensed at the moment he struck.

"Where? do you mean ...... in this valley?"

"No, no, no, I mean, in this world. ”

"I ...... I thought about it......," I was speechless, and after a while, I continued, "to find him." ”

"Is there any other reason than to find him?"

"Except for him...... Maybe find myself. ”

"Hmm......" Lao Xu was silent, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"What about you? Why are you here? Have you ever thought about it?" I asked him.

"I didn't think about it, I was born and raised here...... Never thought about this kind of question. ”

I sat up, and saw him frowning, and his eyes were very serious and looking into the distance.

"Then why did you suddenly think about it again. ”

"Maybe it's because of you. Lao Xu sighed.

"Because of me?"

"Yes......" he paused and continued, "Actually, none of us here have any goals. There's everything here, so there's nothing else to pursue. After living for so long, I just know that I should do what I have to do. Other than that, I don't really have any other ideals. Until I met you......"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Xiao Qiong, I'll tell you the truth. I don't think you're from our world, and although I'm not 100% sure, there are seventy or eighty. But it's possible that it's someone from another town, but I can't get you with you

People from other towns are connected, and you don't have the qualities in them. ”

"......" For a while, I didn't know how to answer, because he said what I was thinking - I always felt that I was not from this world. I clasped my hands on my knees and listened intently as he continued.

"In your eyes, in your heart, there is a conviction. Do you remember? The first time I saw you, you sat in my car and you looked out the window without saying a word. When I call you, you turn your head and I look you in the eye. There seems to be something unwavering in your eyes. ”

"Something unswerving?" I remember that there was nothing but doubt in my mind.

"Hmm...... Maybe that's what you said to find him. You've never forgotten, haven't you?"

"Yes, remind yourself all the time. ”

"Even now, you don't know who he is?"

"Well, even if I don't know, I'm going to find him. ”

"That's right...... That's what it is...... We don't have any people here. ”

Staring at the flames burning in front of me, my mind flashed through the events that had happened since I came here......

"What the hell do you want to say......" I asked Lao Xu puzzled.

"Oops...... Like, how do you say that?"

Lao Xu became sad, and he couldn't squeeze out the next words.

Just then, near the lazy spaceship, there was a slight sound of footsteps. The sound is small, but it is very noticeable in such a quiet environment.

Lao Xu and I bounced up from the grass alertly, Lao Xu pulled out a burning dry wood from the fire and used it as a torch, while I picked up the wooden stick that had been skewered with the roast chicken.

I looked motionlessly in the direction of the lazy spaceship, nervous and scared. I thought to myself, is there someone else here besides the two of us, or is it not human...... Thinking of this, I shuddered unconsciously.

"Would you like to go up and have a look?" I asked.

"Let's go, let's see. ”

"You go first!" I whispered.

I followed behind Lao Xu and walked forward lightly.

After a while, we walked outside the lazy spaceship, and Lao Xu tentatively stretched out his torch and waved it, but he didn't see anything. So, we circled around the spaceship, and we still didn't see anything.

This investigation made my heart panic even more. If there is no one, then what is the footsteps just now.

"Old Xu ......," I said weakly, "it won't be...... There are ghosts. ”

"Bah, what the hell is in this world, don't scare yourself!"

The thing I'm most afraid of is the ghosts. I clung to Lao Xu's clothes and didn't let him leave my side for a moment.

"There's nothing either, could it be the wind?" Lao Xu scratched his head, unable to figure it out.

Lao Xu shook his head, feeling that we had too much heart. So he led me back to the fire.

I sat pale and stunned

After coming down, the comfortable feeling just now disappeared, and now I only feel uncomfortable. I glanced around again, trying to make sure nothing strange really existed.

As I scanned, my gaze froze, and I swallowed, my hands trembling with fear.

Fear gradually consumed my heart, and I pointed to the plate and said to Lao Xu.

"Chicken ...... It's gone. ”

"Of course it's gone. ”

"Bones...... The bones are gone!"

"Huh?" Lao Xu turned his head, took a closer look, and suddenly held his head in his hands and began to scream, "Ahh

"Ahh

The gloomy valley echoes with our screams, what else is unexpected happening?
