"Hey, that fish obviously can't be eaten, why are you catching it?"

"That's a variant of the pre-civilization hermit crab, the meat is bitter, you catch you and eat it."

"Are you really that ignorant? Do you think I'll eat anemone flowers? ”

....

...

Twenty minutes later, Tang Ling and Tang Long climbed up the rock with their whole bodies, even if they were young geniuses, even if their bodies were already very strong, but they had just climbed up from the wet and cold seawater, coupled with the cold night, the sea breeze that kept blowing, and the two of them were a little shivering.

Hurriedly ran to the fire and threw down a large pile of shells, shrimp, crabs, and fish... Both took off their tops and wrung the water.

Tang Ling complained that Tang Long was like an idiot, and at the same time began to deal with these prey neatly.

First throw the shells next to the fire, the crabs turn over, the shrimp unscrew their heads, and also put them next to the fire, take out the knife with you, neatly scrape off the fish scales, disembowel and break the belly to simply deal with the fish and then run up....

Tang Ling is neat and virtuous.

"That's what you learned in the Ghett, too?" Tang Long wiped a handful of water on his face, the temperature of the fire had quickly dispelled the cold, and after taking a sip of wine, he felt warm.

"Nonsense, you can't even do this in the settlement, just wait for death." Tang Ling stuck the processed fish next to the fire, sat down too, wiped a handful of seawater from his face, and took a sip of wine.

"In the settlements, food rations are also supplied. However, only children under the age of 12 can claim it for free. Do you know that ration? It's as big as a slap. You can get a piece every day. ”

"It's called a nutrient nugget, and I don't know if it's nutritious. Anyway, it was the staple food when I was a kid. Tang Ling fiddled with a piece of shell, which had been roasted by the fire and opened its mouth, and the remaining seawater inside was boiling, and it would be cooked after a while.

"I don't know. What does it taste like? Is it tasty? "Tang Long is really a little curious.

According to his experience, the things that can be crowned with the word nutrition are actually very expensive, like he cultivated all the way, and he would also supplement some nutrients and nutritional pastes from time to time.

But Tang Long was not so stupid as to think that the nutrient block that Tang Ling said was the same thing as what he was taking.

"It's a fart. It has no taste, it is boiled in water and it is like snot in the mouth. But maybe it's because it's like snot, it's always stuck in my stomach, and I'm hungry. The shells were already baked, Tang Ling scooped one up, sucked it in, felt a little hot, and swallowed it in a sigh.

Tang Long couldn't help but laugh at this action: "So, you have become the way you are when you eat?" ”

Tang Ling raised his eyes and glanced at Tang Long and handed him a shell.

Tang Long blew lightly for a while, and then also sucked into his stomach, his movements were much more elegant than Tang Ling's.

"It was cold at night in the settlement, but the good thing was that the space was limited. After all, the rest of the place is full of black-toothed rats, and there are only a few places where they can live safely. Everyone's messy shed is huddled together, which can be regarded as huddle for warmth. ”

"But that's not the case. There must be a fire. Tang Ling grabbed a crab, blew it, and broke it neatly and gnawed it.

Of course, Tang Ling is also generous, and he doesn't forget to throw one for Tang Long when he eats it himself.

"At night, a big fire rises in the middle of the settlement, and a small fire is lit in the shed of each house. In fact, the ventilation is not good, and there will be some choking at night, but I can't stand the cold, and I will get used to choking. ”

Tang Long listened silently, the life that Tang Ling told him was completely two worlds with his life.

I don't know why, these words came out of Tang Ling's mouth lightly, but they became interesting, much more interesting than his own world.

But is it really fun? Tang Long lowered his head and broke open a prawn, and his eating movements became as rude as Tang Ling, which seemed to be more flavorful.

"When I was 10 years old, my uncle and aunt disappeared." At this time, the shells that had been eaten up had been piled up on the rocks, and the shrimp shells and crab shells were also everywhere, two of the three fish entered Tang Ling's stomach, and Tang Long ate one.

Tang Ling didn't feel very full, and when he went back, he had to pester Jingling to make him a meal.

However, after eating so many things, Tang Ling also talked a lot about the settlement, what to eat, how to live? What are the rules in there? It's a little difficult to drink water, and what kind of little boss of Baling....

Now, I finally touched the softest place in my memory.

Speaking of these times, Tang Ling lay down.

At this time, in the early summer night, the starlight was brilliant, and the purple moon was not only robbed of the light by the starlight, but even more dazzling.

This is a unique scenery belonging to the Purple Moon Era, what kind of feeling would people from the former civilization feel when they see it?

"Uncle and aunt are very nice people." Tang Long also lay down.

When Tang Ling was talking about everything in the settlement, all the trivial matters of this kind couple had been included in it.

"yes, nice people. But I never had any illusions that they were still alive. The so-called seat belts, sub-seat belts, those beasts, it is very difficult for ordinary people to deal with. What if you meet a herd? If you're unlucky, you'll meet a mutant beast. Tang Ling's hands rested on his head, his legs crossed, and his tone was just calm, not sad.

In this day and age, people who indulge in grief cannot live.

At least in the settlements, no matter how sad you are, you have to be mentally ready to face the reality the next day, otherwise where will the food be on this day? Hungry for one day, the next day will be even worse.

Once you're stuck in a vicious circle, it's hard to get out of it.

"And then?" Tang Long also pillowed his head with his hands and crossed his legs to look at the starry sky in the distance.

"And then? Then I'm going to hunt! There are many bad people in the settlement, but there are also good people. I learned the art of hunting with an uncle, so I learned my first skill in the settlement, well, I also discovered the instinct for precision. Tang Ling took another sip of wine and found that the wine jug was empty.

Tang Long silently handed over a jug of wine he had brought.

"Luckily, I have an instinct for precision. Otherwise, you won't survive. Tang Long felt in his heart that it was actually very interesting to use the precision instinct like this.

The fact that he and Tang Ling went to the sea to fish and catch shrimp just now made Tang Long seem to have opened the door to a new world.

Well, in the future, in the wild, you will be able to cook a meal yourself? It feels amazing.

"Why can't I survive? Mother-in-law and sister can't survive either...."Tang Ling's voice became muffled.

"Mother-in-law? Younger sister? You didn't talk about it just now. Tang Long glanced at Tang Ling.

In the firelight, Tang Ling's side face didn't know why it looked a little sad, and this sadness made Tang Long's heart throb a little.

"Are you stupid? Do my aunts and uncles have no relatives? Tang Ling deliberately wanted to say it easily, but he couldn't be relaxed, he was sad.

Because, my mother-in-law and sister did not survive in the end.

But at that time, he couldn't do anything.

Tang Ling was silent for a long time, drank nearly half a pot of wine, and smoked two cigarettes.

Tang Long was silent, he wanted to meet Tang Ling, but he couldn't find a topic, he didn't know what to say? It's very good and interesting to hear Tang Ling say.

"My mother-in-law is my uncle's mother, and my sister is their daughter, named Shanshan. What about me, I always thought that my mother-in-law should be a person with a story? She didn't tell me anything, though. ”

"Why do you think your mother-in-law has a story?" Tang Long asked casually.

"I don't know. I didn't even know how to write at the time, but now I've learned a lot, and if I have to say, I think my mother-in-law has something different from the people in the ghetto. Well, to describe it is exquisite. ”

"That's right, exquisite! The place where we lived, whether it was the broken straw hut or the tent I bought later, was always clean. My mother-in-law would draw with grass juice on the wooden dishes and chopsticks we used, and when my clothes and pants were torn, she would always sew them in time. Oh, by the way, when I was young, when Shanshan was small, she would always get us a little flower in the sewing place, a small animal or something. ”

"Yes, she also collects the louvers to dry and then uses them to make the bed. Where we lived, the smell was always good, a faint aroma of dried clovers...."

"Shanshan, she's all over the smell. Since she was born, she has slept in a pile of dried shovers. You don't know, Shanshan is very cute, when she was very young, she was..."Tang Ling's voice gradually became smaller, and he was already trapped in his memories.

Yes, she was cute at a very young age.

Not at all like a baby born in a ghetto. Although she is thin, she has big eyes, long eyelashes, and her skin is so smooth, soft and waxy.... Tang Ling was still young at that time, and she always felt that if she touched her with her fingers, she would feel hurt.

However, Shanshan's dependence on Tang Ling was innate, and when he, the little brother, carefully hugged her for the first time, she smiled very happily.

She is very attached to Tang Ling, she likes Tang Ling to hug when she is a child, the older ones will hold Tang Ling's clothes, and the older ones will hold Tang Ling's clothes, and the older ones, Tang Ling will go out hunting, she will be alone by the door, and she must be the first to see Tang Ling come back....

Thinking of this, Tang Ling's heart was like a pinprick, hadn't he already taken revenge? Why is the heartache no less at all?

Tang Ling's eyes were so red that he didn't even know if he was talking to Tang Long, or if he was just dreaming alone...

"She's lovely. But she....? Tang Long's memories of Tang Ling's follower were walking, and there seemed to be such a little girl in front of him.

Dressed in a shabby but clean, favorite little dress, a little thin, big eyes, a little pitiful, as soon as I saw my little brother, happiness overflowed...

She is a little stupid, and a little stupid, she was coaxed to be happy by Tang Ling with the simplest flowers and plants, she is not greedy, she is easy to be satisfied, and she likes to look at the silhouette of the No. 17 safety zone with Tang Ling on the slope of the hill, and the moonlight on the silhouette.

Tang Long also began to pity this little girl, and he couldn't help but ask where she was?

However, as soon as he asked, Tang Long felt a sense of heartbreak.

If she was still there, shouldn't she be by Tang Ling's side?

"Well, she's dead. Died a terrible death, was eaten by a bunch of corpses... and mother-in-law died on the same day. Well, it was Dragon Twelve who killed them! A tear slipped out of Tang Ling's eyes, he clenched his fists, and his nose was blocked at this time.

I don't want to show my cowardice in front of Tang Long, but he is panicked and panicked! Dragon Twelve is dead, where else can he pour out his hatred?

Mother-in-law and sister can't come back.
