Chapter 45: The Wasteland

"This is it, go ahead and walk to the road to the county seat." Lin Muchen immediately recalled these bamboos. And he also made a facial expression that knew his chest.

"Isn't it? How do I feel like you're blindsided? I can tell you, if you don't go out again, I want you to look good! Butcher Zhang's words were a little playful, but the content was still very rigorous.

"Don't worry, I remember that when I followed my father, there was a road in front of me, and I definitely didn't admit it, because when I saw such dense bamboos before, I also told my father that I wanted to cut a few, of course, my father also agreed, but then there were many things, so I forgot about it, so I remember this very well." Lin Muchen gave Zhang Butcher a guarantee.

But when I walked through the bamboo, I saw not a road, but an inaccessible wasteland.

The wasteland was long and wide, as if it had no bounds.

The human eye cannot see, and the distance seems to be covered with layers of fog and frost. The plants that grow in this land are also very strange! It looks like some dead grass, but it looks like these dead grass is also a large and small cluster with vitality, maybe there is very little water in this place! These dead grasses are clustered together to better draw water.

"The growth of all things follows a law, and it can be grown in this very harsh environment, which shows that the vitality of this grass is really extremely strong!" After Butcher Zhang saw the withered grass on these wastelands, he couldn't help but sigh a little.

"Yes! I remember when I was a child, I only saw the grass and flowers popping out of the cracks in the stones, but after seeing this kind of thing, I really found that this kind of thing is quite tenacious. Lin Muchen also followed suit.

The two of you and I said one sentence at a time, but they didn't know that the old man sneaked away from them, and they didn't notice it. It wasn't until the two of them started to get hungry that they realized that it was already evening.

Looking at the wasteland in front of them, the two of them were worried.

The large troops stationed in the pit found that Butcher Zhang and Lin Muchen were no longer in the pit, and the crowd immediately stirred.

"What about Butcher Zhang? Where did Butcher Zhang go? ”

"Yes, what about Butcher Zhang? It seems like I haven't seen him for a day today. ”

"Well, don't worry if he's going out and looking for some way? It's almost time for dinner, maybe I'll be back later, don't worry! Sit down, sit down, it's fine. Although the old man said this, he was very panicked in his heart. No one is familiar with this place, and now that the leader of Butcher Zhang is gone, it is indeed a bad thing.

"Alas, this is a bad statement, no, we must find Butcher Zhang, Butcher Zhang is our leader, if something happens to him, what can we do with the big guy?" The man who was particularly fond of talking along the way stood up.

"Alas, you have finally said a fair word along the way, no, you have said a serious word, this time I will not argue with you." The person who always liked to quarrel with her also stood up, encouraging the big guy to go to Butcher Zhang.

"yes, let's go out and look for it, don't wait until something really happens?" Immediately, the crowd began to stir again.

Seeing this, the old man immediately changed his attitude and actively encouraged everyone to go out to find Butcher Zhang.

The group of people in the pit were not idle today, and Butcher Zhang left the pig-slaughtering knife he carried with him when he left. So some of them took this to cut down trees in the woods not far away, saying that they were cutting down, but in fact they were grinding there, anyway, at the end of the day, they also got about five or six trees! Some of them took the trees they had cut down from the woods and made them into many kinds of farming tools; There is also the fact that I went to the woods and looked for a lot of dead branches and leaves to heat up at night. Some of them were busy hunting and catching those little rabbits by the dirt pit.

Today, they have lived a very rich and busy day, and they have finally prepared for tonight's affairs.

No, as soon as I heard that I was going to find Butcher Zhang, the guys under the big guy stopped doing anything.

"Let's go, go and find Butcher Zhang. We have a lot of strength, and I believe that it won't be long before we can find them. They said to the men who were preparing to make dinner.

Those who had already begun to prepare for dinner immediately put down their hands and followed them over.

But there are so many mountains, where will we find them later?

"It should be just that small place, such a big mountain, isn't it just that small forest? Everything else is bare and nothing. If Butcher Zhang was there, we could see it at a glance, but now we can't see him, surely he is in that grove! Let's check it out later! ”

"That's not necessarily, today I was in that grove, picking up dry firewood, I almost ran the whole mountain, but I didn't see the shadow of Butcher Zhang, maybe Butcher Zhang is really not there!"

"Alas, don't say anything, let's go and see for ourselves later, if we talk to this kung fu, maybe we will find someone a long time ago, let's go, let's go!" Sure enough, as long as Butcher Zhang is not there, everyone wants to stand up and point fingers.

"Which green onion are you? When will it be your turn to speak? If this big guy wants to go to that place to find it, if Butcher Zhang is not there, what do you think we will do here? In my opinion, we must leave some of the people in this pit so that they can prepare their dinner for the night. If we find Butcher Zhang, we can still eat a hot meal by the way, and if we can't find it, we can also eat a hot meal to replenish our strength! "This man spoke angrily, as if no one was convinced?

"Yes! Uncle Li is right. Some people should really stay here. After hearing Li Laohan's words, the big guys all agreed with each other. So I prepared to leave some people to cook.

"Okay, don't fight, big guys, many of our people are elderly, and if they have a lot of inconvenience in moving, let them stay here and cook!"

"I think there should be a few more people besides leaving these old people here! Just be young and strong, I'm afraid if we're all gone, and if there's a beast of some kind coming out. I'm afraid these old people can't resist. A woman in her early thirties interjected.

"Oh, that's right! Okay, then let's leave some of the older, older and younger ones here! When our backups, if something happens to us, they can remedy us in time. "Okay, that's right, we all agree, that's okay, that's what the big guy will do.

Butcher Zhang and Lin Muchen were at a loss in the face of the desert in front of them, not knowing what to do, besides, there was no dinner today, and there was no lunch at lunch, and at this time the stomachs of the two of them were already rumbling with hunger.

As Butcher Zhang walked, he whispered to Lin Muchen behind him: "Okay, okay, let's go!" Let's look for food as we walk, and if we stay where we are, we'll starve to death. Butcher Zhang shouted weakly to Lin Muchen.

"Oh, don't go, don't go, I can't walk, my stomach is rumbling with hunger, let's stay here for a while! If you keep walking, your physical strength will be exhausted, and you will really starve to death at that time. Lin Muchen was already so hungry that he didn't want to move, and at this time, Butcher Zhang was still shouting at him.

Lin Muchen was already so hungry at this time that his legs were weak, his head was dizzy, and his legs were bent; knees clamped; The two hands are hanging down; The movement of the whole body is supported by one shoulder. His head was also lowered, and he looked as terrifying as a zombie from a distance.

The butcher Zhang in front was also facing the earth, moving forward step by step, but she still looked at Lin Muchen behind her from time to time for fear that Lin Muchen behind her would be lost!

The two of them didn't know where to go, but Butcher Zhang's only belief at this time was that as long as he walked, there would definitely be a way out, as long as he walked, he would not starve to death, and as long as he walked, he would still have a breath. As long as you are walking on the road, you prove that you are still alive.

Butcher Zhang muttered to himself while looking at Lin Muchen.

I don't know how long it has been.

At this time, the moon had already come out to work the night shift, but fortunately the moon was big and round tonight, and it shone brightly as if it were daytime in the wasteland.

"It's supposed to be a time for families to be together, but we've become like this. It's ridiculous! Butcher Zhang couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the big and round moon in the sky.

Lin Muchen listened to Butcher Zhang's words, and the corners of his eyes slowly moistened. Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Muchen's family of three has to eat a reunion dinner at the table, and the meal on this day every year will be particularly rich, and the family actually rarely eats meat, but on this day they will buy two catties of meat to eat. I didn't even eat so much meat during the Spring Festival. As soon as he thought of so much meat, Lin Muchen's saliva flowed down uncontrollably. But thinking about the current situation, I can't help but feel sad and leave tears of indisputability.

At this time, the two of them were already tired, Lin Muchen was already lying on the ground, and Butcher Zhang reluctantly sat up, supporting his body with his arms, and looking at the big and round moon in the sky.

And what about the people on the other side of the pit? A large group of them went up the mountain to look for Butcher Zhang, but they couldn't find it, and after searching for no result, they returned to the dirt pit!

As soon as I got back to the pit, I saw that the people who had stayed behind had already prepared dinner, and everyone was eating their sumptuous dinner around the fire.

But who would have thought that Butcher Zhang and Lin Muchen would be the two of them gasping for a long time in this boundless wasteland!
