Volume 1: The Source of Life Chapter 75: Bloodstains
In the open field, large areas of dilapidated factories appeared.
It looks like it's not far from the city.
Sang Yu was pinched hard and hung upside down on Ah Cheng's shoulder.
"Whoop, whoop......"
In her ears, only Ah Cheng's wheezing sound was heard.
When Ah Cheng saw a large area of the factory appear, he realized that he might have gone in the wrong direction with Brother Tao.
He was able to run fast thanks to the little girl in his arms who didn't cry. What began to struggle turned into the quiet it is now, and when Ah Cheng looked down at her, she still tried to please him and smiled at him.
Some dirty little faces still had tears on them, but they forced themselves to smile with eight teeth, which made Ah Cheng feel a little uneasy.
This little girl is not as harmless as he sees.
Ah Cheng found a small tree in the shadow and stopped, he looked at the sun that was about to set to the west, and then looked at the barren and abandoned factory not far in front of him.
I don't know where Brother Tao and they went, he let himself grab the child and run.
He must have done nothing wrong
Ah Cheng looked around and stared at Sang Yu with a calm face: "If you don't cry or make trouble, I won't beat you." ”
Sang Yu nodded hurriedly, looking very afraid of Ah Cheng.
Ah Cheng was not deceived by her honesty and pity, put Meng Sangyu on the ground, grabbed her wrist and untied the pocket bow-crossbow. After rummaging through it for a while, he found that he could no longer shoot arrows inside, and threw it on the ground in some anger.
"What other weapons do you have?"
"Nope."
Sang Yu's big eyes slowly overflowed with tears, and he reached out and patted his body.
The girl in front of her was only five years old, and she was well raised, with a small face that was white and pink. Because of the hot weather, she only wore a pair of bamboo cotton bloomers, a short-sleeved pink T-shirt, and a string of peach baskets on her other wrist.
It's really a long thing, and you can see it clearly at a glance.
Ah Cheng still reached out and rummaged through her pants pocket, only to find a few soybeans, and he threw them on the ground with a shake of his hand. Glaring and puffing, he looked around for food and water.
The collapsed factory building, the cracked road broken by the top of the plant, except for the two of them, there is no half a figure in sight!
Now I don't know whether to go back and find Brother Tao and them, or continue to walk forward and wait for them in Mengcheng.
Further on, it is Mengcheng, he is not familiar with Mengcheng, and he has a half-old child, and it is okay to survive for a few days. If Brother Tao never came over, would he have to keep this little ancestor.
Walking back, he didn't dare to meet Brother Tao for sure, or he would meet the three people who were in the same group as this little girl.
Thinking of the boy who killed Brother Hei as soon as he made a move, Ah Cheng had palpitations.
He has followed Brother Tao and Brother Hei for so many years, and he has done a lot of things about stealing food and pickpocketing, but he really hasn't done anything about killing people and setting fires.
Now he took this child with him, like a hot potato, with trouble, and threw it even more troublesome.
I don't know what Brother Tao was fascinated by, so he had to catch this child and give it to the old beast of the Liu family.
This kind of shameless thing, how did Brother Tao do it.
Ah Cheng really couldn't understand it.
Even if it is murder and arson, he can understand.
But such a small girl, like a tender flower, why did Brother Tao do this?
How did he manage it?
At this moment, Ah Cheng's heart had a trace of doubt and wavering.
If he follows such a Tao, will he become the same as him, a person who doesn't even have a bottom line.
"You ......"
Ah Cheng lowered his head, ready to tell Sang Yu to follow him, and not to play tricks.
As soon as he lowered his head, the little girl who was squatting at his feet to pick up soybeans was gone. Ah Cheng turned his head to look at the factory behind him, and couldn't help but have a headache, this girl was also a fool, and she hid in the factory.
In the dilapidated factory area before the 30th century, most of the materials that could be recycled in it were demolished. All that remains is the ruins, and the snakes, insects, rats, and ants that live in them.
Ordinary people would not easily enter this kind of place.
"Come out, I won't beat you when you come out now. If you get caught, I'm going to beat someone. ”
Ah Cheng waited for a while, but didn't see the little girl come out, and didn't hear any movement. He sighed and glanced at the first factory building in front of him.
The mottled walls are overgrown with moss and creeping plants, and the handwriting at the gate of the factory has been blurred for decades.
Ah Cheng walked in from the nearest collapsed wall, and the factory was barren, full of weeds and quinoa. He didn't want to set foot in this uncharted area, which was more terrifying than the wilderness.
"Little girl, come out quickly, I won't hurt you. I'll take you to Mong, come out quickly. ”
He kicked the bricks on the side of the fence, and the weathered bricks turned into pieces directly under his feet and fell into the grass.
"There's rats, snakes, ants, and mutated animals. You come out, and I'll take you to Mengcheng to eat delicious food. If you don't come out, I'll go. I'll leave you alone here, and if you run into a mutated rat or snake or something, I won't be able to save you......"
Ah Cheng chattered a lot, in his thoughts, no matter how powerful this little girl was. A child of a few years after all, she must be afraid of snakes and rats.
He didn't want to go into the factory, so he thought about whether he could scare her out.
shouted a few more times, but there was still no movement around. Ah Cheng couldn't help but wonder if this little girl was taken away by something and was no longer here.
He wanted to lose this girl and forget it, and he was afraid of Brother Tao's anger. He saw him running away with the little girl in his arms, and when he met Brother Tao and couldn't hand over the little girl he wanted, he would definitely not let himself have a good time.
In this era where everything is exchanged for points, they are not allowed by the base and the alliance to be a wanderer, and there is no way to survive without grouping.
Ah Cheng retreated to the small tree where he and the little girl were resting just now, broke the flexible trunk in three or two strokes, and walked upside down towards the collapse of the wall.
No matter what happened inside, he was going to go in and have a look.
This little girl, if he finds it, he will definitely spank her ass-share. This kind of place can also run around, and it is really fearless for the ignorant.
Ah Cheng stepped into the courtyard wall, and his eyes were first attracted by a bush. The whole bush was close to the wall, the tender green leaves trembled in the wind, the wattle was covered with barbs, and the luxuriant branches and leaves climbed up most of the wall.
He only looked at it twice, then looked away.
In such a desolate place, this shrub grows very well. However, there are no people in this, there are so many barbs, even if the little girl can get in, she will be pierced into a hedgehog.
"Little girl, come out quickly, it'll be dark soon."
With Ah Cheng's voice, accompanied by the sound of him waving a branch for fear of hitting the grass.
When his figure walked into the abandoned factory workshop, a hole was opened in the bushes that were still tightly closed just now. Mulberry's small figure stepped out from behind the bushes, and quickly ran over the wall into the distance.
ran like this for more than an hour, but the Sangyu people had short legs but were not slow, and they finally made sure that they were far away from Ah Cheng.
The sun is gradually setting in the west, and the afterglow is shining on people, still carrying residual power.
Sang Yu gasped and crouched at an abandoned bus stop sign, heat mixed with dust rolling in her stomach.
She knew that she should run back so that she would most likely meet her brother and Aunt Chunyu. But she also knew that if she ran back, she might also meet the bad guy named Ah Tao, and the man named Ah Cheng who kidnapped her just now.
She touched the crossbow-bow that she had picked up and was tied to her calf, and pulled out a handful of soybeans from her pocket. This is the new soybeans she and Xiao Xiaoxiang planted, she and Xiao Xiaoxiang each divided ten seeds, and the rest are in the box where the seeds are placed.
Now there are only seven of the ten grains left, and they were thrown away by Ah Cheng, and she only found seven grains. If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, she would still want to look for it there.
The three soybeans must still be in the grass, and I don't know if they will grow bean seedlings in the future, or if they will be eaten directly by rats and hares.
“1、2、3、4、5。”
The five soybeans were put into the trouser pocket by the mulberry elm, and the two small yellow beans in the palm of the hand were crystal full and exuding an attractive fragrance. She hadn't eaten raw soybeans yet, and her grandfather said they smelled of beans.
For the current mulberry elm, as long as everything that can be eaten is fragrant.
She put a soybean between her teeth, and when she was about to bite down, she hesitantly pulled it out of her mouth.
She still doesn't eat it, there are only seven seeds, and as long as she finds a water source, she can grow another piece of soybeans. Let's eat it when the time comes, put it in the fire and roast it, it will definitely be much more fragrant than raw.
A desolate wilderness with no people, the wind blows through the grass and makes a rustling sound. There were no flowers, no birdsong, not even a living mouse in sight.
Sang Yu walked along the dilapidated highway towards Mengcheng, at this moment she couldn't care much, the little cat's ears were erected, listening to the movements around her as she walked.
She could hear a huge movement within a three-kilometer radius, and if someone came by, she could quickly find a place to hide without being noticed.
This road is not the road taken by the base convoy to the south.
This is the road from the city of Mongolia to the factory area, and the wide four-lane road should be lined with shrubs and flowers, and now only bare street lamp poles remain.
The east and west of the road were overturned by wild grass and shrubs, and Sang Yu jumped while walking, and one hand had to carefully cover his trouser pocket, for fear that when he jumped, he would shake out the seven small yellow beans inside.
"Hey, carry the board."
Mulberry walked over happily and crouched down to a small pale green bush. A small lantern-like blue-purple wild fruit, covered with spikes.
I picked a handful, with the leaf side facing outwards and the leaf back facing inward, and the dough was stuffed into the mouth. The faint sweetness is mixed with a hint of sourness, and it is a little more delicious than Sangyu expected.
If there is no backstab on it, it is even more perfect.
A small branch grew from a carrying tree, and the mulberry elm even picked the blue-purple fruit on it and stuffed it into its mouth.
The fruit is sweeter than the leaves, but it lacks the slightly sour taste of the leaves.
Sang Yu ate so happily that he even put away his two kitten ears, completely forgetting that he was squatting on the side of the road, and that there were likely to be humans here.
"She's grazing."
A child's voice sounded, startling Sang Yu's hand, and the branches and leaves of the board returned pulled out a bloody mark on the back of her little hand.
Sang Yu's expression stiffened slightly, and she turned her head to look at the source of the voice. On the other side of the road, a boy of eleven or twelve years old stood next to a girl of eight or nine years old.
They must have come out of the factory in the back, carrying the loot they had just found, a piece of scrap iron. This thing seems to be very good for some money, and it is rare to find this kind of factory that has not been used for decades.
Sang Yu pursed her lips, then laughed.
If it weren't for the fact that her face was dirty, her smile would still be very appealing.
"Do you eat? This one is delicious. ”
The boy frowned, and the girl spoke: "Can you eat this?" ”
"Absolutely." Sang Yu said, and stuffed a ball of leaves in his hand into his mouth again. Like a little hamster, she puffed out her cheeks and said while chewing: "Some sour and some sweet, the taste is still good." ”
Maybe seeing that she was small, the girl ran over excitedly to try what she said about the taste of some sweet and sour weeds.
When she ran to Sang Yu's side, Sang Yu was shocked to realize that she had finished all the leaves that carried the board, leaving only a few barbed wattle strips, on which there were two lonely leaves!
