The tent was tossed by Adolfina like this, and naturally it was impossible to live in it, Simon licked his face and made do with Peter's all night, and when the caravan set off the next day, Simon found that the guards seemed to look at him a little more playfully.

Adolfina was still sitting on the horns, with two sandals hanging from her feet, dazzling in white, the girl with vertical eyes held a fork to pick up the beef in the can, the cold of the morning dew mixed with the steaming beef soup, as if she was not the vampire of last night, as if she was really some harmless girl, Adolfina saw Simon coming, and threw out the can very skillfully, Simon subconsciously caught it, and did not spill a drop of sugar water.

The girl with vertical eyes stood in front of him, and Simon realized that she was just reaching the tip of her chin, but the girl patted Simon on the shoulder in an old-fashioned manner and said, "It's delicious." With that, he pulled the tarpaulin cloak and became one with the wilderness in the blink of an eye.

There was a lot of whistles around, such as "Our princess is going to get married!" "The guy who was able to get Morfin into the tent on the first night!" "Canned kid!" Simon frustrated the canned food box to Peter, and the boy looked at the boiled beef in it, and without looking back, Simon knew which word he muttered.

"Looks like you, young man." Gilpin squinted his eyes and looked back at the sniper who he thought was an unworldly sniper last night, handed him a bowl of porridge, and said: "There are more people who have beaten Morfin's idea, tell me, how did you make her fall into the net?" ”

Throwing yourself into the net? Simon remembered last night with a wry smile and said, "I shot her." ”

Gilpin took the fluffy black bread from the fire, tore it and sprinkled it into the porridge, and said as he chewed, "If I knew it was so easy to pick up a girl, then I should have shot her." ”

"Hmph, bless you." Simon plucked up the courage to take a sip of the porridge, which was thick and almost like rice cereal, not half sweet as he remembered, but like mashed potatoes that had been spoiled after many nights, and Simon forced himself to swallow it, saying, "What is this?" ”

"Blade Valley." Gilping drank porridge and nibbled bread as usual, scratched his belly and rubbed it with charcoal, and said, "Nanyan doesn't farm? Well, you'll get used to it in no time. ”

"Hey." Gilpin leaned closer, pointed to the horn where Adolfina often sits, and said sheepishly: "She's a mutant, make her happy, you can eat canned beef every day!" ”

"I have hands and feet!" Simon felt insulted, took the black bread, and bit it hard, but covered his face and was silent, and Le Jirpin laughed: "Sure enough, it's a southern black man, I eat black bread every day just to wait for some fool to bite down." ”

Gil suppressed his laughter and said solemnly: "Don't look at Morfin who looks like a sixteen-year-old girl, but I can guarantee that she has definitely killed more people than you, and you may need bullets to kill, she?" It is enough to have hands and feet. ”

Simon unscrewed the kettle and took a sip of water, saying, "Do you know how many Imperials I killed in the army? ”

"I don't care." Gilpin shrugged, "Morfinn was born in Nail Alley in Steel City, and I heard that she killed a group of people when she was born, and she has been a pathfinder since she was seven years old, man, you can't brag that you are a sharpshooter at the age of three." ”

"As long as I live long." Simon replied that he finally couldn't hold back the crisp porridge that was churning in his stomach, put the bowl down, and said, "Enjoy breakfast." Then he got up, and the sniper rifle behind his shoulder, which was more tightly wrapped around the ground than yesterday, shook slightly.

"Longevity? Live a long time. Gilpin poured Simon's portion of porridge into the bowl, and the gray-brown porridge barely reflected the scars of the caravan leader.

Radiating the two-headed cow is an indispensable link in the food chain of the new era, in the absence of industrial oil and vehicles, the omnivorous two-headed cow's huge and high body is the most ideal tool for carrying goods, a cow can easily carry thousands of kilograms of heavy loads, through the long and difficult wilderness journey, the same, is also an important source of protein, the only fly in the ointment is that the two-headed cow walks very slowly. But for people, it still takes a trot to keep up.

"What are your plans when you get to Steel City?" Simon asked as he walked briskly beside Jonathan and his son, his heavy backpack not having to fight with all his will for a while.

The giant man carried his elongated double-barreled hunting gun, touched Peter's head, and said, "Ah, that's a good question, maybe Joe should go to work as a worker, hammer iron and knock parts, earn a stable salary, and find a bride to have another son." ”

Peter glanced at his father without doubt, and rarely took the initiative to speak: "Dad, you should indeed find something to do that doesn't break the backbone of others at every turn." ”

The incompetent father smiled, compared to Simon's first time seeing him, Jonathan's physique was a little more bloated, Simon touched the boy and asked the same question.

The young man straightened out his shabby but neat white trench coat, and his tone was less cold and more witty, and said: "There is a school in Steel City, and there are free magazines and books to read in the school, I think I can read while earning money." In the inner pocket of his trench coat was Peter's dear "Airborne Forces" magazine, and in just a month or two, Peter had torn through the corners of the plastic magazine, and the few coins he had exchanged for all kinds of books.

Simon nodded approvingly, and said wistfully: "When I was your age, well, I forget when, anyway, I got two notices, one from the Ivy League and the other ......"

"Another copy?" Peter asked.

Enlistment notice, Simon silently thought in his heart, not knowing whether he should expect to be born a year earlier or not, Simon said: "Another? I'll tell you when you go to steeluniversity. ”

Peter scratched his hair in frustration, and when he looked up, he saw Simon quickly looking down at the pendant, the one he never showed to anyone.

"Have you ever had a wife?" The boy asked bluntly.

Juliana's face in the red cross helmet suddenly came into view, and Simon felt that her voice and smile were gradually muffled by the mist, and he thought he would ignore it in annoyance, but Simon said, "Half." ”

"What's half?"

"I'm engaged to her."

As if he had unearthed some shocking secret, Simon calmly closed his necklace and said, "It's been a long time since I died. ”

"Oh......" Peter immediately changed the subject, "what are you going to do when you enter the city?" ”

To be honest, Simon always remembered that what he could do was basically related to how to kill people, after all, this was the most and most diligent thing taught in the army, and after a lot of techniques other than killing, Simon replied: "Mechanic, I guess I'm more suitable for this besides fighting and killing." ”

Simon bought a tent for a dozen more coins, and at night, Adolfina still came uninvited, but this time she did not cut the canvas with a knife to pour the cold wind, but simply untied the knot and ran in, and whether Simon agreed or not, she shoved herself into the crook of his arm.

The next day, Adolfina continued to hand the half-eaten canned beef to Simon, whose eyes were red from having slept all night, and Peter was given the valuable canned beef again, and Simon sprinkled a little sugar into the blade porridge and swallowed it in his stomach.

That night Peter was kicked out of the tent, and in order not to disturb her sleep, Adolfina knocked her personal property unconscious with a knife, and then ate an extra half of the canned beef, so Peter, who had been prepared, got the whole portion, and Simon drank the blade of porridge in a commanding manner.

"For you." On the fourth day, Adolfina threw a boiled can of beef to Simon, and then shook her head and left, but with a "clang", the can fell to the ground, and the beef was covered with dust, Simon scooped out the porridge from the pot by herself, tore up the black bread, and chewed it heavily, Adolfina silently picked up the canned box, and there was still a small half of it that was still clean, she went to the fire, poured the beef into Simon's bowl, and said: "If you don't like canned beef, I'll change to other cans tomorrow, I've saved a lot." She pointed to the two-headed cow and drew an exaggerated circle.

"You can pick and choose for yourself."

Simon put down the bowl and took out a few canned peas and pork that he had left, and the saber pried open the tin lid and said, "Thank you, I like to eat what I earned." ”

Adolfina picked up the bowl of porridge with the beef cubes and ate it herself in silence, the bottom of the bowl clean enough to show her pale little face, the brown tarpaulin cloak that made her one with the wilderness, and the girl with vertical eyes stood up from the sniper, she still had to scout the road ahead of the caravan today, and perhaps one day there would be a moment when the bullet would hit her impartially.

"Be sure to fill your stomach." With that, Adolfina disappeared into the wilderness.
