The warm light shone on Ren Hai and the others, leaving two huge figures on the earthen wall behind them.

This is the lighting method in the market town, using vegetable oil squeezed from various oil plants, there are many types of plants, generally speaking, what flows from the envelope city, the residents of Xinyang town use anything.

Compared to the lighting methods used in the envelope city, this oil lamp is the most affordable, after all, this vegetable oil is extracted from those plants with high radiation values.

The nest is not big, less than 20 square meters, about 2.5 meters high, can barely accommodate two people without looking crowded, in the corner of the nest is placed a small bed with a wooden plank, two meters long and one meter wide and one meter five, covered with some softer hay, there is a small wooden table next to the small bed, and the oil lamp is placed on it.

Above are dilapidated wooden houses, and below are fortified nests, a construction style peculiar to northern market towns.

Envelope City is located in the north and west of the Xia Dynasty of the Federation, not far from the northwest, and the terrain is mostly barren plains and loess mounds with no grass, which also causes the north to be dusty all year round, and finally derived the architectural style of the nest above the wooden house and the nest below.

Ren Hai had never seen what the buildings in the city were like, but he knew from other people that the residents of the city lived in very solid wooden houses, brick houses, and it is said that there was a kind of building called a villa.

Ren Hai longs for this, and he also longs that he and his sister can one day move into such a place, without worrying about the dangers from the wilderness - natural disasters such as hurricanes and dust, as well as so-called man-made disasters such as wilderness outcasts, fierce beasts, and clones.

Above the ground, dust occasionally fell, and the occasional thumping sound was heard, mixed with the sound of some wood crashing against each other.

This is the cabin collapsed.

At this time, Ren Haizheng moved the oil lamp away, put it in the corner of the table, and at the same time put the small iron pot on the table, took out the remaining four pieces of sand scorpion meat on his body, swallowed his saliva, poured it into the freshly boiled water, and used the residual temperature to heat it simply.

Ren Hai took out two chopsticks from his cloth bag, put them on the small wooden table, and said, "Dream, you're hungry, come, eat something." ”

"Brother, you ran away to the wasteland without telling me again." Li Meng looked very angry.

Ren Hai was stunned in place, he didn't know what to say for a while, the calmness and alertness when he was in the wasteland were all gone at this moment.

"I... I didn't. ”

"Really?" Li Meng stared at Ren Hai quietly and said three words simply.

"I... I... I..."Ren Hai panicked, unable to speak for a long time.

"You set off before dawn, I asked Aunt Liu, you haven't been to her vegetable garden to help for a week, there is no shadow of you in the whole market town, where else can you go except the wasteland?"

Li Meng looked Ren Hai up and down, looking at Ren Hai's thin body, there was a faint pain in his heart, it was this thin body that could always appear when he needed it most.

"Dreams, I... How could I go to such a dangerous place as the wasteland? You... You know me, I'm such a timid person, my biggest dream in this life is to take good care of you, don't let people bully you, and then find a piece of land, plant it, and build a big wooden house. ”

Being stared at by Li Meng, Ren Hai became a little incoherent when he spoke, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

"And what if a lot of people want to arrest me?" Li Meng said something that seemed completely out of place.

"Dad said before leaving, let me protect you." Ren Hai's face sank, and his eyes revealed a perseverance that was incomprehensible to ordinary people.

"And then?" Li Meng continued to ask.

"And then... And then, no then, I just know that you are growing your body now and need it, in short, to take good care of you. Ren Hai pointed to the sand scorpion meat in the pot and said.

His idea is very simple, protect Li Meng, take care of Li Meng, and as for what will happen in the future, what can he think about.

"We will eventually be separated, and then, what will you do?" Li Meng's words were beautiful, and every word was clearly transmitted to Ren Hai's ears.

"I... I do not know. Ren Hai thought for a while, but still had no answer.

Looking at Ren Hai, who was standing motionless in place, Li Meng stepped forward, hugged Ren Hai's waist tightly, and said, "Brother, promise me, don't go to the wasteland, you have to live well, find something you like to do, live for yourself, not for me." Li Meng said, let go of Ren Hai, walked to the small wooden table, and took out two "bowls" and a pair of chopsticks from under the small wooden table.

Live for yourself, live for yourself...

So, isn't that dream time on the agenda?

Ren Hai's thoughts drifted to many years ago, since he had a memory, his father took him to live in Xinyang Town, one night when he was three years old, his father went out, and when he came back, he was holding a baby girl in his arms, which is now Li Meng.

A simple life is as plain as water, but there are always some small surprises in this ordinary life, and it is also comfortable, the good times do not last long, when Ren Hai was twelve years old, his father left, where he went, no one knows, when his father left, he told Ren Hai very solemnly to protect Li Meng.

Just as Ren Hai was recalling, a crisp voice came into Ren Hai's ears: "Brother, eat, if you don't eat, I won't eat." ”

His thoughts were gradually pulled back into the ground, and looking at Li Meng's undeniable eyes, Ren Hai gently picked up the bowl.

He knew that Li Meng had always done what he said.

The turbid soup was mixed with two pieces of milky white sand scorpion meat, which looked very attractive, and the stomach acid in the abdomen was secreted, Ren Hai did not hesitate, picked up a piece of sand scorpion meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and began to chew.

The outer shell is very hard, but the taste is good, especially the sand scorpion meat inside, which is smooth and tender but not greasy, which is a unique taste of protein. Soon, two pieces of sand scorpion meat entered Ren Hai's belly, and Ren Hai, who was very happy, drank the remaining soup in the bowl in one go.

Well? It's a bit salty.

"Where's the salt?" Ren Hai looked at Li Meng, who was eating sand scorpion meat, and asked curiously.

Salt is scarce, unless the body is extremely short of salt, will eat a little, usually there is no salt, Ren Hai remembers well, the last bit of salt left at home, as early as two days ago.

Li Meng's eating is much more elegant than Ren Hai's, after hearing Ren Hai's inquiry, Li Meng put down the dishes and chopsticks and said: "When I went to Aunt Liu's house today, I happened to have work, so I helped out some, and when I left, Aunt Liu gave me a bitter grass leaf and a small pinch of sand salt, you went to the wasteland today and needed salt." ”

Hearing this, Ren Hai couldn't help but feel relieved.

Sand salt is a kind of salt of the lowest quality, the particles of salt are large, and there is sand mixed with it, so it is called sand salt, and above that, it is coarse salt.

"Is Du Litao here today?" Ren Hai asked a question that he was very concerned about.

"Here we are." After Li Meng heard the name Du Litao, his eyes showed disgust.

"What did you say?" Hearing this answer, Ren Hai's eyebrows furrowed together, and he hurriedly asked.

"Tell me the last three days, say he's not a person who likes to be forced, and after three days, if I don't want to marry him, he's... He'll kill you. ”

"Huh! Is this called not liking compulsion? It's really high-sounding. Ren Hai's eyes revealed a fine light, and he had the urge to kill.

There is a kind of person in this world, they are called the darlings of heaven, their bodies can resist nuclear radiation since they were young, compared with ordinary people, the nuclear radiation in the body is very low, and Li Meng belongs to this kind of person.

It has been found that the offspring born with this kind of person have a certain chance of producing this kind of physique.

After discovering that Li Meng was special, Ren Hai already knew that there would always be such a day, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Brother, don't be impulsive, he is from the city after all, he really can't do it, let's leave here." Seeing Ren Hai's appearance, Li Meng regretted telling this matter a little, in case my brother didn't figure it out and killed Du Litao, then my brother wouldn't be able to live.

She never thought that Ren Hai didn't have the strength to kill Du Litao, he was mixed in the wasteland all the year round, and Ren Hai already had the strength to fight any normal adult male, there was no doubt about it.

"Leave, where to leave? Okay, you can eat quickly, rest early after eating, and build a wooden house early tomorrow morning, I'll figure out how to do this. Ren Hai didn't want to continue to discuss this topic, as for Du Litao's matter, he needed to plan it well in the past few days.

When Li Meng saw Ren Hai's expression, she knew that no matter what she said now, her brother couldn't listen to it, and if she couldn't do it, she smashed the black beads.

This is something that only he knows, his father said that in the future, there may be many people who want to catch themselves, and his departure is also for himself, when one day, when he encounters a crisis that is difficult to resolve, he will break this black bead.

As for what's in the black beads? What happens after a break? Li Meng didn't know either.

Soon, Li Meng retracted her thoughts and quietly ate the sand scorpion meat in the bowl, thinking that this was her brother's life in exchange, her heart was very uncomfortable, she couldn't stop her brother from hunting in the wasteland, she could only pray silently when he hunted.

I don't know how much my brother's radiation value has reached now, I hope it doesn't increase, after all, once it exceeds ten, it will become cancerous.
