Volume 1: The Source of Life Chapter 172: Rice

"Xiao Tianyou didn't stink today."

Xiao Muchen took Xiao Tianyou, who had just been washed, over.

He took him to take a bath and pull the stink, but when it came time for Xiao Tianyou to pull the stink, no matter how he took it, he wouldn't pull it.

Since there was no rice the day before yesterday to now, Xiao Tianyou has not.

He also eats the stewed rotten meat, with wild vegetables or grass roots, but he eats it slowly and less.

Sang Yu suspected that he had indigestion.

Shouldn't I have diarrhea due to indigestion?

Why doesn't he poop and don't poop?

Five people circled around Xiao Tianyou, this child doesn't, what if he has a swollen stomach?

Only eat and don't pull, sad.

"I still have to give him rice and noodles, he is still so young, such a young child eats this kind of meat, wild vegetables and grass roots every day, it will definitely not work."

Meng Qinghu was so angry that he just wanted to beat himself, before he set the fire, he should also go to the city to rummage.

No matter how much, even if you find a bite of rice, at least you can let Xiao Tianyou eat a meal.

"Okay, if you don't pull it, don't pull it, let's go fast and get to Dafeng City early. As long as there is no accident in Dafeng City, there are living people, are you still worried about food? ”

Having said that, Jing Zhan still hugged Xiao Tianyou to the side and continued to go, "Mmmmmmmmmm

Sang Yu was also a little worried in her heart, and she looked at the road not far away.

The dilapidated highway is like a terminally ill old man who is struggling to breathe, and the road is full of potholes and roadsides......

What's that on the side of the road?

Sang Yu's eyes widened and he looked hard at the side of the road.

What did she see?

Golden rice waves, swaying in the breeze.

Rice waves?

She must have been dazzled, how could there be Mai Lang at this time.

"Xiao Muchen ......"

Sang Yu grabbed Xiao Muchen's arm: "Look, what is that?" ”

"What?"

Xiao Muchen looked into the distance along Sang Yu's line of sight suspiciously, there was nothing, just a wilderness, and a road in the distance.

"What's wrong? What do you see? ”

Sang Yu thought she was hallucinating, and she shook her head vigorously.

"It's not an illusion, it's not an illusion."

She didn't care whether it was a real rice wave or a fake in front of her, she just ran away, went over to take a look, and went over to see first.

"Hey, Sangyu, where are you going?"

When Xiao Muchen saw her running, he hurriedly followed, and Meng Qinghu got up suspiciously: "Sang Yu, where are you going?" ”

"I saw a rice field over there, a real rice field."

Sang Yu's voice came faintly along the wind, as if it were real and illusory.

"Rice fields? Is there a rice field? ”

Meng Qinghu looked around suspiciously, except that the wasteland is the wasteland, how could there be rice fields.

Sang Yu panted and stepped up a small dirt slope, she looked at the road not far in front of her, the ditch by the road, overgrown with wild grass, mixed with ripe ears of rice.

Xiao Muchen, who was following behind Sang Yu, grew his mouth slightly: "There is really rice." ”

It's not a rice field, but I don't know who abandoned the rice seeds in the trench, or who planted the rice in the trench, year after year, competing with the barren grass for territory.

They barely survived in the trenches, waiting, and grew into a low, skinny paddy field.

Sang Yu trembled and touched the ears of rice on it.

At this moment, it was late autumn, and the ears of rice had already matured, and they would fall off when she touched them, so she lifted the placket of her clothes to pick them up, one by one.

With ears of rice, there is rice, and with rice there is grain.

With food, Xiao Tianyou will have something to eat, he will be able to grow up well, he can pull the stink, and he will not have a bloated stomach.

Sang Yu and Xiao Muchen were like two fools, one of them lifted a piece of clothing and cleaned up a small piece of rice in the trench.

"You say, do you want to keep a few plants so that they can grow again next year?"

Xiao Muchen looked at the lonely rice trees not far away, and hesitated.

Sang Yu raised a smile and said loudly: "Don't stay, we will plant next spring." Now that I have left, such a small amount is not enough to feed the birds. ”

That's right, such a small point is really not enough for two birds to eat.

If you don't stay, you won't stay, this year you give us a handful of rice, and next year, we will give you a paddy field.

The two men hummed a song and walked back with rice in their hands.

"Come and see, what have we found?"

Before the Sangyu people arrived at the camp, the voice arrived first.

She wanted to run faster, but she was afraid that she would run too fast, and the rice in her clothes would fall upside down.

Xiao Muchen, who was walking behind her, was shirtless, and his clothes were temporarily requisitioned and filled with rice.

"Where did the rice come from?"

Meng Qinghu grabbed a handful of rice and began to rub it with his hands: "Xiao Tianyou, you have a meal to eat, let my sister cook for you, let's have a luxury today, don't eat porridge, eat." ”

I didn't receive a total of two catties of rice, and everyone ate together, and it was definitely not enough to eat. But there is Mulberry Elm, she is a wood-based ability, she can give birth to plants, she can make plants bloom and bear fruit and mature overnight.

That night, they ate rice, a bowl of sturdy rice for each person.

The smell of rice wafted out of the camp for a long time.

Xiao Tianyou opened his mouth and swallowed the rice one bite at a time.

It's so delicious, and the rice is so delicious.

For Xiao Tianyou, this is the best thing he has ever eaten.

This is also Xiao Tianyou's earliest memory, he was with his brothers and sisters and ate a fragrant meal.

"How can there be rice here?"

Meng Qinghu asked while eating, they knew here, it was a wasteland nine years ago, could it be that people have lived in it for the past few years?

"I don't know, I don't think it should be, I looked around, and this rice is in the trench, growing with weeds, a small patch. If it weren't for mulberry, most people wouldn't have noticed it and would probably have ignored it. ”

Xiao Muchen also felt strange, Qingcheng and Chuncheng should have gone to Shicheng, although this piece of rice is short, but it will not be discovered by no one on the side of the road, how can it be so good now?

Shi Yandao paused thoughtfully, he turned his head and asked everyone: "After eating, let's go along the road tomorrow, do you think it's strange?" ”

"What's weird?"

"The last time Jing Zhan said that when he went back, the people from Chuncheng hadn't arrived in Shicheng yet, but he didn't see it on the road, and now, no one wants such a small piece of rice on the side of the road, you say, where did all those people in Chuncheng Qingcheng go?"

Everyone looked at Shi Yan in silence and said, yes, where did they go.

In everyone's mind, they should have returned to Stone City early, and it couldn't be slower than them. But now that I think about the roads they passed, they weren't what cars could drive at all.

Since the vehicles could not be driven, they had to walk on foot, but there was no trace of people on the road, and there were no abandoned vehicles, where did they go?

Xiao Muchen stood up a little uneasily, there are more than 200,000 people in the base, did they disappear out of thin air?

No, it can't be.

As a commander, when he returned to Stone City alone, and his people did not return, how should he answer in front of everyone?

I lost them and I don't know where they went.

Xiao Muchen looked at the wilderness distractedly: "I'm going to look for it, even if it's the slightest clue, I'm going to find them." ”

"Xiao Muchen."

Sang Yu grabbed his shirt: "Don't worry, it's going to be dark soon, you eat first, after eating, you and Jing Zhan fly out to have a look." If they're still on the road, there should be a fire. ”

Jing Zhan also nodded: "Don't worry, I'll go out with you at night, I'm fast, fly back, back and forth for two days at most, let's expand the range, maybe they will walk behind us." ”

This meal began to be eaten happily, and later, everyone was a little overwhelmed.

Where did the people from Spring City, the people from Qingcheng, the people from Oasis, and those people brought by the Wang family father and son go?

Xiao Tianyou ate a full meal beautifully, and within an hour, he asked Jing Zhan to hug him, wanting to stink.

After he finished pulling a big stench, Jing Zhan happily wiped him clean and hugged him back: "Finally pulled, Huzi, you take him to sleep at night, Xiao Muchen and I are looking around." ”

Meng Qinghu took Xiao Tianyou and patted him on his little buttocks pityingly: "You don't have to look around, judging from the current situation, they shouldn't be in front, so it can only be that they are still behind us." Look back. ”

"yes, I see."

It was slowly getting dark.

Xiao Muchen and Jing Zhan were pulled aside by Sang Yu, and one of them stuffed a handful of spars in his hand: "Be careful, you will catch up with us by tomorrow night at the latest, and we will slowly go to Mengcheng now." Whether you can find them or not, you have to come back and deliver a letter. ”

"yes, got it."

Xiao Muchen packed the spar, which may be his food for the past two days.

Jing Zhan smiled and said nothing. He doesn't have to guarantee that for him, whether it is Spring City, Qingcheng, or the people of Oasis, it has nothing to do with him.

His relatives are Huzi and Sang Yu, as well as the grandfather of District 8.

He just went to help Xiao Muchen look for it together, and if he couldn't find him, he would come back, and he cared more about the safety of Sangyu than others.

Xiao Muchen and Jing Zhan flapped their wings and left.

The sky grew darker and darker.

Sang Yu wrapped up his clothes and leaned closer to Meng Qinghu's side. The whole camp was full of two people, and suddenly it seemed as if more than half of the people were missing, and it was very quiet.

In the middle of the night, Sang Yu vaguely heard a sound of footsteps.

She stood up and looked around.

There was still no light in the wilderness all around, and in the dark night, there was no moonlight in sight, and there was no starry sky in sight.

They are like people abandoned in this wilderness, unable to find their way around.

Meng Qinghu sat up slowly and gently patted Xiao Tianyou in his arms: "What?" Do you hear something? ”

Sang Yu shook her head, she listened attentively, there was no footsteps, could it be that she heard it wrong, and she had a nightmare?

Shi Yandao also sat up silently, and he threw two sticks of firewood into the fire next to him.

The fire burned more and more, except for Xiao Tianyou, the three of them had no intention of sleeping.

I don't know where Jing Zhan went, and whether they found those who left early.

"Brother, do you think they will be ......?"

"No, they left early, Xiao Muchen was well prepared and timely, they will be fine."

Sang Yu grabbed Meng Qinghu's arm tightly, she was still scared and worried.

If something really happens, Xiao Muchen should never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
