The clay figure seemed to understand, and slowly ate a piece of fast food, and then fell asleep again, and made an earth-shaking snoring sound. There was no one in the tent.

"Jie, how much lung capacity does this take, the ears of the people who are shocked hurt. I can't stand it anymore, so go out and breathe. Joan, though she had a cotton ball in her ear, couldn't stand it and left the tent.

"Good boy, this is the rhythm of recruiting wolves."

"It's really like thunder, wolves have to be scared away."

"Maybe it's been cultivated over the years to avoid wild beasts. God, I can't stand it. ”

"He's asleep, we don't have to stay here anymore, when he wakes up, let's ask what he wants." Jie stuffed more cotton balls into her ears and said loudly to everyone.

The clay man slept for two days, and everyone took turns to take care of him during these two days, but fortunately, the wound healed well and there was no infection. I have to say that this old man's body immune system is better than everyone's. Everyone has eaten a few grains of corn, it's not that it's not enough, no one dares to eat more, being gnawed by that unknown insect is one reason, and another reason is that this is something that is more than a hundred years after all, although theoretically they stopped growing, but no one can say clearly, plants can hibernate for such a long time (or, anyway, they can't be named to stop growing), and the fruit can still be eaten. During the observation period, everyone still harvested both corn and sorghum. It just so happens that the space in the car has freed up space, and whether you can eat it or not is a matter of later, in short, it can be regarded as replenishing food. Looking at the food and ammunition that has been reduced, it is inevitable that I will not be able to stay here any longer.

"Rose, when the clay figure wakes up, we will go back on the road, all kinds of energy are decreasing, when can it be replenished or a dream, and if you leave early, you can save some food."

"There's nothing we can do here, even with us. In the past few days, everyone only eats one piece of fast food every day, and when there is a situation, they can't go hungry, and they are safe one day earlier when they cross the no-man's land one day earlier. ”

"Whoa, whoa." Jie accompanied the clay figure out of the tent, and the clay figure was a little better, at least they could say two words together.

"Zhong, Rose, he can go with us at any time, and his physical condition seems to be better than any of us now."

"So that we will leave after eating, and rest there wherever we go in the evening."

"Robots, overhaul cars, everyone is ready to go!"

Each person was given a compressed biscuit and half a solid water, and everyone boarded the car and prepared to drive away. The clay figure is slow to get on the bus, which makes everyone a little confused.

"Brother, are you afraid of taking a car?" Ray asked.

"Whoa, hey." The clay man howled, patting his mud-covered body and pointing to the trailer behind the antique cart, which now contained eight puppies.

"Do you mean you want to sit in the back?"

"Whoa, whoa." The clay figure nodded vigorously to indicate that it meant that.

"It's okay, you really can't sit down like that, if it's raining or snowing outside, you have to get into the car."

"Whoa, whoa."

The convoy left the ruined village, leaving a piece of history in its place, taking the truth of history with them. This is another way through the mountains, and the village is the link, and now the bond is no longer working, but the mountain is alive. The dead and the alive were left behind by the wheels, and after walking a little on the road, the car was back on the old road. The same softness, the same two ruts.

"Zhong, can you slow down? The clay figure is too heavy to go up at speed. The water on the antique car No. 2 said in the intercom.

"Yes, everyone slows down and waits until the next resting point, and then we can figure out a way."

Several of the robots kept navigating in the right direction, and the car walked for about four hours before coming to a stop.

"Master, we have walked sixty kilometers this time, and it is already very fast." Guoguo said after looking at the dashboard and comparing it with his own program records.

"Master, less than five kilometers ahead should be a ruin." Huahua also reported in time.

"It's also night, just rest here in place, half a piece of instant food and half a piece of solid water per person, and check the car, ammunition, and their respective backpacks after eating."

"Bell, it's a little cloudy, don't activate the shielding device tonight."

"Okay, be on guard and go to bed early."

The night, a little cold and frightening, too silent. The occasional night breeze is so kind and lovely. Because there is an extra mud figure in the trailer, the puppy barks quietly all the way, and occasionally the mud man also snorts a few times, which adds a little fun to the lonely journey. Now that the car was parked, the clay man left the trailer and walked to the door of the relocation vehicle to listen to the chat. Seeing the clay figure coming, everyone talked about him.

"Old man, you're over a hundred years old this year, aren't you?"

"Whoa." The clay man howled, and stretched out his fingers like a clay stick in front of his face to gesture to 20.

"You say you're 120 years old?"

"Whoa."

"How do you calculate time?"

The clay figure snorted and drew the road in the air.

"Well, it's not very accurate, it's not that bad, my God, what have you eaten for more than a hundred years?"

"Meat (again) meat (again)."

"You say you eat meat, where does the meat come from?"

"Whoa." The clay man screamed and pointed at the gun in everyone's arms.

"You know how to hunt?"

The clay figure shook his head and stood on tiptoe to the top of his head twice, each time higher than the other. You look at me, I don't think you understand what it means.

"Brother, are you comparing your parents?" Ray listened to it for a long time and pondered for a long time, and then came over and asked.

The clay figure shook his head again, and gestured upwards again.

"You're the grandfather of the comparison. There are four of you alive. ”

"Hey, hey, hey." The clay figure nodded, then shook his head again.

"Brother, I said that you nodded when I was right, and you shook your head if I was wrong, okay?"

The clay figure nodded.

"When the village changed, did you escape with your grandfather and mother?"

The clay figure shook his head.

"That's with grandpa, dad, and just not in the village?"

The clay figure nodded vigorously.

"Relatives?"

Shake one’s head.

"Hunting?"

Nod.

"No man's land is only more than a hundred years ago, how old were you at that time?"

"Whoa." The clay figure gestured with four fingers.

"You're only four years old, how did you survive?" Ray asked, and the clay figure gestured twice above his head this time.

"I finally understand a little bit, you mean grandpa, dad hunts, and you always eat meat to live."

"Then they died, do you hunt by yourself or eat meat to live, do you hunt tigers or do you hunt and eat everything?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa." This time the clay figure uttered a few words, gesturing small circles with his hands.

"Round? You mean small animals, right? ”

The clay figure nodded.

"Are there a lot of critters?" Shake one’s head!

"You often go hungry?" I nodded vigorously!

"No wonder you can't see small animals on the mountain, the big beast eats some of it, and you eat the rest, right?"

The clay man smiled a little bit this time and nodded.

In this way, everyone asked, watched, and the communication with the clay figurines can be regarded as you know, I understand, and I understand.

"Hey, old man, do you know about ring heights?" Nod.

"Then do you know no man's land?" Shake one’s head.

"What kind of catastrophe happened in the village at that time?"

The clay man listened and thought for a long time, and then he made a comparison, and everyone understood the meaning, which meant that he was very young at that time, and he didn't know, but then I heard my grandfather and father say that a big fireball suddenly appeared in the sky, but there was no fire in the village, but everyone died, and the trees, grass, and crops were buried by the mud that fell from the sky. After that, they did not dare to return to the village, so they took refuge in the cave, and later in the cave.

It's already dark with the mud figures, and although the mud figures are still unfinished, everyone is tired and used to having time to rest immediately to deal with any emergencies. The clay figures returned to the trailer with the dogs, barking and barking at each other, and the gloomy day in the second half of the night finally began to rain heavily.

"Zhong, tell the clay man to come to the car." Rose said, looking at the No. 2 antique car behind her.

"Don't scream, you see he's already over there."

The mud man is really in the heavy rain, just when it rains, a few small dogs automatically ran back to the antique car, and turned around and barked at the mud man a few times, and the mud man also replied a few times. He jumped onto the road and was drenched in torrential rain.

"What does he mean, he wants to wash the mud off his body? You won't get sick that way. ”

"What kind of illness is it, it's been more than 100 years, and he hasn't experienced any kind of weather. That mud armor was his protective suit to keep out the cool and heat. Now that it's safe, of course he still wants to be able to put on his clothes and be a normal person. ”

"Then let him be, there are still work clothes, and it looks better than now when he wears it, and it's convenient to chat and talk."

"Hey, Lei Lao, did you not know or didn't think about it when you planned the no-man's land, why didn't anyone know if it was left behind?"

"Iron legs, finally poor to the right place, at that time it was said to be a one-size-fits-all, basically notified to the township streets, specific to everyone that is the first thing at all levels. It is inevitable that there will be sparseness, after all, the ring height is the top priority. ”

Lei Lao is right, at that time, it coincided with the frequent natural and man-made disasters on the earth, the epidemic of diseases and plagues, and the time when the ring height was demonstrating the design of the route, and many places were already no man's land without planning. The transportation in a village on the high mountain like the mud figure is not very convenient in the first place, at most it is to send a document there, and then evacuate by relatives and friends. It happened that there was a natural disaster at that time, so that's it. Rose joined in.

"Yes, you said that there was no fire in the village when a big fireball fell from the sky, and there was mud in the sky, is it possible?"

"Maybe, nature can't do it, human beings have a way to make it possible. At that time, the ring height was in the early stage of the design and construction, and the artificial change of the bottom shell section was also to lay the foundation for the ring height. ”

"Moving mountains and reclamation was the biggest project at that time, and at that time, the earth was also going through many tribulations, and most of the manpower and energy were used in the construction of the ring heights. Some places have forgotten about it, and it is a matter of not taking care of a few people left in a no-man's land. Zhong said.

"It's about exchanging small sacrifices for big gains. Human beings have no choice but to do so. Understand a little. ”

"Understand, just like now that we have survived on the ring heights, isn't there no one to take care of us, what can we do if we don't understand. Clay figurines can survive in the harsh environment of no man's land for more than 100 years, and we can also create miracles in no man's land. ”

"That's for sure, when is it going to rain? The clay figurines have been washed, and it's almost noon, so it looks like some of them are down today. ”
