Eating the small half of the black flour steamed bun in his hand one by one, Meng Hao felt that he had regained some strength.

She looked at the handsome young man named Ah Shen, "While it's still dark, I want to go into the mountains to find something to eat, do you want to go over together?" ”

The young man glanced at her, "The injuries on your body are not healed yet, are you in such a hurry to go up the mountain, aren't you afraid of encountering danger?" ”

Meng Hao looked at the wounds that had begun to inflame, "I just want to find some fruits on the periphery, and by the way, I will pick some herbs to treat the wounds later." ”

The young man frowned slightly, "Then you go to the mountain to the east, there is a nest of homeless people who occupy the mountain as kings on the mountain on the mountain on the west side." ”

What he didn't say was that the black-faced steamed bun he had given to Meng Hao earlier was given to him by one of the homeless people on the mountain to the west.

The woman loved him for being handsome and dusty, and had been fond of him from the first time she saw him.

When the other party came to give him something for the first time, Ah Shen made it clear that he was just a person who was in distress here by chance, he had no long things, and his heart was cold, so he couldn't give and didn't want to give the other party any feedback she expected.

It's just that the woman seems to insist on "influencing" Ah Shen, even if Ah Shen makes his words clear, the woman still comes to bring him food every day.

It's useless to talk, and Ah Shen doesn't want to have any physical contact with the woman, so what the woman wants to do, Ah Shen is up to her.

As for the food that the woman sent, Ah Shen ate it all in his stomach without wasting anything.

Now is a special time of famine and war, and food is so precious at such a time, but no one can do such a wicked thing as the group of people who have been starving like him to ignore the food that is delivered to them, and let it rot and spoil because of the weather.

Meng Hao looked at the young man who was lazily leaning on the big tree next to the stream, "You really don't want to go up the mountain with me?" I'm very good at finding things. You don't have anything else to eat, do you? ”

Ah Shen lazily waved his hand at Meng Hao, "If you don't, you'll be hungry, and you won't starve to death after one or two meals." ”

Meng Zhen was speechless, "You are relying on someone to bring you food, so you don't plan to be self-reliant?" ”

There was a complex and indistinguishable glow in the young man's narrow phoenix eyes, "What, do you think I'm unproductive?" Very spineless? Shameless? ”

Meng Hao subconsciously shook her head, and every time the young man said a word, Meng Hao shook it hard, as if the harder she worked, the more she could prove that she did not discriminate against her life-saving benefactor.

She's not the kind of person who has no conscience and doesn't know what to do.

Maybe this young man was indeed a little lazy, but he was able to give her the precious pills and food to eat, and pull her back to the world from the ghost gate when she was most vulnerable, instead of always trying to snatch her things like other outcasts, and even wanted to sell her to the human tooth for money, based on this alone, Meng Hao felt that he was far superior to the vast majority of people in this world.

The more chaotic and disorderly, the more the good and evil in human nature will be infinitely magnified, and this young man can maintain an original intention and stick to a bottom line in today's world, Meng Hao feels that he is very, very worthy of admiration.

The young man was amused by her cautious look, afraid that he would misunderstand or get angry, and he waved his hand at Meng Hao, "Then you should hurry up and go, it's not too early, if you don't go down the mountain before dark, then you will be in a very dangerous situation." ”

The two mountains next to each other in this forest, the one to the west is relatively gentle, but it is particularly dangerous because it is entrenched in a group of displaced people, and the eastern one, although there are no displaced people, is rarely visited because of its high mountains and dense forests and many wild beasts.

Meng Hao bowed slightly to him, "Then take care of yourself." ”

Ah Shen didn't speak, silently watched Meng Hao turn around and leave.

She hasn't fully recovered yet, so she doesn't walk very fast, but she always has a straight back and a high posture.

Through her thin and thin little body, the boy seemed to see a strong soul that was tenacious and full of vitality.

***

Before the sky was completely dark, Meng Hao took the herbs that she had picked from the mountains that had anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and healing properties, the wild eggs she had picked up, the wild plums, wild melons, and unknown wild berries she had picked up, and hurried back to the forest where she had met Ah Shen.

She hurried back, but there was no longer the handsome young man from before next to the stream.

Meng Zhen felt a little lost in her heart.

She walked over to the big tree where Shen had been sitting before, and took advantage of the already rather dim light to carefully observe the ground around her, trying to find any clues that the young man had left behind when he left the place.

The hard work paid off, and soon Meng Hao found a few slightly lodging wildflowers and weeds on the west side of the big tree.

Could it be that he went to the foot of the West Mountain to find the cook who gave him food before?

As soon as she thought of this, Meng Zhen inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable.

Although she wouldn't look down on Ah Shen just because he relied on others to help him, she really didn't want Ah Shen to give up on himself like he was now.

Yes, it's self-defeating.

Meng Zhen hadn't figured out what kind of real him was hidden under Ah Shen's lazy appearance.

He has to live a chaotic life, he eats when he eats, he goes hungry when he doesn't, and he doesn't care what others think of him.

Even when asking Meng Hao if he looked down on him, if he felt that he was very unproductive, spineless, and shameless, Ah Shen's expression and tone always showed a sense of indifference similar to a broken jar.

Meng Hao didn't know what this young man had experienced before she met her, but in today's world, even if she didn't ask, even if the young man didn't say it, Meng Hao could make up one human tragedy after another in her own brain.

If it weren't for the young man's expression and eyes, which occasionally showed a little sadness uncontrollably, Meng Hao would not have guessed so quickly that Ah Shen was actually a poor young man with a sad past.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to take a look.

Looking at the lodging degree of those wild flowers and weeds, Meng Hao could basically guess the time when the boy left here.

She quickened her pace, trying to catch up with the teenager who was supposed to be not far from her.

“... I've already eaten the steamed buns. Before she walked out of this forest, Meng Hao heard Ah Shen's very characteristic cold voice.

She walked a few quick steps, and then she saw a tall, sturdy young man with a gloomy face standing opposite Ah Shen raising the knife in his hand, "Good! Okay very! Looks like you're ready to pay for your rotten life to our brother! ”

Beside him, a young woman with red cheeks and teary eyes was looking anxiously at the handsome young man who was alone. She didn't dare to speak, nor did she dare to step forward.
