Darkness seems to come with life, from the mother to death, from the birth of darkness to the end of the darkness, everyone wants to break the darkness all their lives, but in the end they still can't escape the shackles of darkness.

If the Lord says there will be light, then there is light again. So where did the Lord live before he said this again, or was he the first to break through the darkness and create the light?

"Grandpa, what's wrong with the eldest brother, he has been sleeping since he got home." The little girl was lying on the kang, her head in a ponytail with both hands, and her round eyes were full of longing for the unknown.

She couldn't figure out why someone would sleep in the sand, why there would be a white film on the person's body, and she couldn't figure out why her brother was so big with a neck and his limbs would be wrapped with red ropes, the same as her, and more than her.

The old man sat on the chair and smoked a mouthful of dry cigarettes, every time the corner of his mouth spit out a puff of smoke, he glanced at the people on the kang, and what he couldn't see in his eyes was the vicissitudes of life, as well as the fatigue of being troubled by survival, and finally looked at the girl lying on the kang head, and finally had a smile and hope.

"Bao'er, don't disturb my brother's rest, my brother will be tired and wait for a while."

After the old man finished speaking, he took out the ashes left over from the burning smoke at the foot of his chair, and then turned and squatted at the door of the house.

I don't know if the rescued person is right or wrong this time, at first when the old man saw the brother in Bao'er's mouth, he was really startled, his arms, legs, and head were full of dark red traces, which looked like he was wearing a red rope, but it was a fool of a child, and the old man could see that it should have been divided by five horses, and the muscles were densely cracked.

The old man thought he was dead, but the undulating white film outside kept telling the old man that he was still alive, and that on the penultimate day of each month, both of them would go to the edge of the desert in search of the sand lotus.

Because tomorrow Bao'er's father will come back, they will celebrate, celebrate the safety of everyone in the precarious life, although it is difficult but also fulfilling, the old man has experienced too much turmoil, he doesn't want to move anymore, his wife, daughter-in-law have already taken the first step, if it weren't for Bao'er is still young, the old man would have wanted to accompany his wife.

The old man's cloudy eyes looked at the gradually setting sun, took out the ink armor eyeball from the next room, returned to Ye Bai's unconscious room, and lit it.

"Bao'er, go out with grandpa, it's getting dark, and when the temperature drops, don't run around."

The old man took one last look at Ye Bai, the white film wrapped around his body was getting lighter and lighter, and then he sealed the door, after all, the temperature in the desert at night dropped badly, and the eyes of the ink beetle were used to ward off the cold and illuminate.

There was no speech all night, only the sound of the wind came from the depths of the desert, and the next morning the old man opened the door, faced the desert, took a deep breath, and began his new life today.

After a night of night blows, the desert landscape is no longer the same as yesterday, but there is no surprise in the old man's eyes, and he seems to have become accustomed to it.

opened the room where Ye Bai was, and sure enough, the white film had disappeared, and the marks on his neck were almost invisible, the old man took out a set of clothes from the cabinet and put them in front of the kang, and walked out again.

Although the sand lotus root was found yesterday, but because he wanted to bring Ye Bai back, he didn't bring back much, and the old man used the blade in his hand to cut off the bottom of the sand lotus root, and the dark yellow water flowed out of it and was collected by the old man in the clay pot.

The desert can only survive if you understand it, although the sand lotus root contains a lot of water, it is highly poisonous, it must be distilled and the water can be collected again before it can be directly used, the lotus root hole must be removed, there is a sting for filtration, and occasionally one or two bugs can be seen.

After the old man finished all this, the sun began to become scorching, and Bao'er also walked out of the room rubbing his eyes at this time, there was no time, and he didn't know the time, he could only feel that it was hot, maybe it had been a long time.

"Bao'er, what are you going to eat today?" The old man placed the last crockpot in the distillation room.

"Grandpa" Bao Er said hello first, and then ran to the room where Ye Bai was, "Whatever you want." ”

The old man looked at all kinds of dried things on the shelf, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and the appearance of the fourth person also successfully aroused Bao'er's interest.

"Grandpa." Bao'er hadn't been in for long before he shouted, "My brother's hand just moved, did you wake up?" ”

Bao'er's voice was full of excitement, but the old man was mixed with joy and sorrow, and even his palms were a little sweaty, after all, he didn't know whether he was saving a good person or a bad person.

The red marks on his body had disappeared, and the old man looked at Bai Junxiaosheng on the kang, feeling that he was not from the desert, but from there.

For a while, the eyes of the grandfather and grandson were firmly fixed on Ye Bai who was in a coma, and they didn't dare to blink a glance, for fear of missing something.

Finally, the eyes of the person on the bed moved, and he didn't open them, his mouth kept muttering, and the Adam's apple went back and forth more and more, and finally in the eyes that the two were looking forward to, Ye Bai opened his eyes.

Ye Bai and the old man looked at each other, neither of them spoke, but Bao'er was different.

"Grandpa, my brother's eyes are so good, there are several colors." At the moment when Gang Yebai opened his eyes, Bao'er saw that five colors appeared in Ye Bai's pupils: white, yellow, green, red, and blue, of which white wrapped the other four colors.

"You saved me?" Finally, Ye Bai spoke first, but his voice was a little hoarse.

The old man poured some water for Ye Bai and said, "It's not enough to save it, but I can't bear it, you have also seen the poor society, it is very difficult to feed our grandchildren." ”

Ye Bai took the water cup, stretched out his hand and found that his clothes were gone, so he had to pull the quilt up, and after drinking the water, his voice slowly recovered, and he glanced at the room.

The whole room seemed to be made of dirt, and the place where he had slept seemed to be on a block of accumulated soil, and it was not yet eight o'clock, but the temperature was already very high.

"Where is this?" Ye Bai looked at the buildings he had never seen in the main city of the green forest and said.

"The edge of the desert." The old man replied truthfully.

"Desert?" Ye Bai's face was full of incredulity, "Could it be that I am no longer in the Green Forest Region?" ”

"I mean the area here?" Ye Bai had some conjectures in his heart, but he couldn't believe that he had crossed the region.

"Wild Sands." The old man said calmly.

"Really." Ye Bai closed his eyes and fell asleep on the kang again.

"Bao'er will go out with grandpa first, you put on your clothes first, what's the matter, and then talk about it after eating." The old man pulled his granddaughter out and left the space for Ye Bai, who could see that Ye Bai was a little lost in his eyes.

"But..." Bao'er wanted to say something, but was forcibly pulled away by the old man.

After a while, Ye Bai came out of the house and came to the old man.

"Thank you." Ye Bai still wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything.

"No, you don't." The old man opened the lid of the pot and threw something into it that Ye Bai didn't know, "I can see that you don't belong here, I think people like you should live in the main city, we are too poor here." ”

Bao'er showed her big head outside the door, her big bright eyes kept flashing, and her eyes were full of novelty when she looked at the person wearing her father's clothes.

The old man turned around and looked at the man in front of him with an extraordinary bearing, almost whiter than the most memorable person he had ever seen, and among the people the old man had seen, the most noble was the ten-master, who was still full of murderous energy.

"What's your name, if you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Sha, my son is back today, you can let him take you out." The old man was reluctant to take Ye Bai in, firstly, the conditions were too difficult, and Ye Bai looked like a noble son, on the other hand, no matter who Ye Bai was, looking like this would cause a storm.

Ye Bai's face showed embarrassment, and he suddenly became like a big brother next door, he was already so stupid, and he hadn't told the old man his name yet, "Uncle Sha, my name is Ye Bai, I want to stay here, if it really doesn't work, I'll ......." ”

Ye Bai could hear that Uncle Sha was reluctant to take him in in his words, but he suddenly came from the green forest to the sand area, he was unfamiliar with the place, and he was surrounded by deserts, so he wanted to familiarize himself with the environment first.

Ye Bai could see that the old man was obviously stunned for a moment, but he was also forced to do so.

"Let's eat first, you can stay here for half a month at most, and then you can only rely on yourself." The old man now wondered if he was wrong.

"Bao'er, don't look at it, eat." The old man had already seen the villain outside the door.

"What about washing...?"

Looking at the plates of white and black food on the table, Bao'er sat directly on the stool and prepared to eat.

The old man glanced at Ye Bai and said; "Water is the most scarce place here, and I don't have enough to drink every day."

"Big brother, sit here, sit here." Bao'er pointed to the chair next to him and asked Ye Bai to sit over, "Bao'er is called Sandbag, where's my brother?" ”

The sandbag puts a white food in the mouth and eats it with relish.

Ye Bai smiled and said, "Bao'er, can my brother call you that?" You can call Brother Ye or Brother Bai. ”

Ye Bai also tried to eat a white food, his mouth was full of bitterness, needless to say, the taste was needless to say, anyway, he couldn't feel the existence of his tongue now, and the touch to his teeth was like meat and some kind of plant.

Ye Baiqiang pretended to be expressionless, swallowed the food, looked at the grandfather and grandson who did not have any discomfort, and suddenly felt that his previous food was like delicacies from the mountains and seas: "What is Bao'er's father doing?" ”

Ye Bai picked up the water next to him and took a sip, not daring to try the food on the table again.

"He's it." The old man looked out the window into the depths of the desert and said, "It's been a hundred years on the battle line, and most of us desert boys have stayed there. ”

There was some pride in the old man's words, but there was also some sadness.

"This Bao'er knows that Dad is fighting bugs, and the meat we eat is the meat of bugs, and Dad can bring some back when he comes back this time."

"Bugs?" Ye Bai felt uncomfortable in his heart, mutant beast, or?

The grandfather and grandson enjoyed a meal, while Ye Bai could only add air and water to his heart's content.
