Chapter 1: The Way of Heaven

I said to life, "I will listen to death!" Life raised his voice slightly and said, "Now, you hear it!" ”

β€”Gibran

This year's winter has been exceptionally cold, and it has already fallen for the fourth time, and the new snow has been covered in layers, and the old snow that has not melted has been crushed into ice. I carried a bucket and walked laboriously on the snow, and in the distance there were hundreds of miles of mountains, white as a dream in the sunshine without temperature.

Although there was snow everywhere, I couldn't guarantee that it was clean, so I had to walk more than ten miles to a cave to get water. Fortunately, my physical fitness is not what it used to be, and the cold weather can quickly condense water into ice, which also saves me a lot of energy.

This is the shelter of the Fusheng Corporation, where we have lived since we came out of the research base, and at my insistence, none of us have left, and it has been almost two months now.

Except for the fact that the weather was too cold, everything else was fine. This sanctuary is huge, and there is nothing inconvenient about living at all. The location is also in an inaccessible place in the deep mountains, and there has been no Gega in the past two months, so it can be considered safe. The only thing that worries me is the supply problem, although there are many reserves in the shelter, but it is still not enough to support us through this winter, but fortunately there are many hares in the surrounding mountains, and we sometimes take a bow or two to fight one, which is enough. Luckily, the vault still has a lot of various grain and vegetable seeds in stock, but even if they are planted when the weather warms up, it will still have a difficult time before harvesting. However, Wang Shanqi is trying to plant indoors recently, but the indoor is not very warm, and it is difficult to say whether it will succeed.

I wiped the ice chips off the fur of my hood and continued on my way, halfway up the slope of the cave where our car was parked.

Putting down the huge bucket, I took off my gloves and entered the password, the iron door at the end of the cave opened, and my gloves wiped the traces of warm fingers on the password plate, and lifted the bucket and entered the door.

"You're back?" Xiao Kan came out of our room wearing a fluffy winter suit, "Is it cold?" ”

"My nose is almost frozen!" I said as I tore at the galoshes I wore in the snow, and because my cheeks were frozen, my speech was still unnatural, "Why are you wearing this dress indoors again, you are used to wearing it in the house, and you still can't go out?" ”

"I'm cold!" Xiao Kan muttered as if he was a fool, dragging the bucket with both hands and pulling it inside. Seeing her struggling, I hurriedly hung up my coat and went over to lift the bucket.

"Don't make a fuss, the boss is not small, look at your waist."

"You're old!" Xiao Kan leaned up and pointed at me to make a kettle.

I was silent, I guess I'm really old.

Wang Shanqi was serving his soilless vegetables over there, and when he heard Xiao Kan's words, he said slowly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are things that cannot be helped, and they cannot violate the laws of nature." ”

Xiao Kan was blocked for a moment, and it seemed that she wanted to say something, but since she had always been a good girl who respected the old and loved the young, she just glared at me fiercely.

I laughed and went over to look at Wang Shanqi's dishes. I have to say that scientists are scientists, soilless cultivation of this kind of thing, no culture liquid is absolutely not playable, this guy actually let me lead around the mountain, found some stones back to let the small flowers grind into powder and bubble, and then used fluorescent lamps to simulate the sun, and even let him plant live, but one by one soft and weak, I don't know if I can survive until the day of growth.

"Lao Wang, you seedlings also have to abide by the laws of nature, you see that you torture them perversely, God has the virtue of good life, in my opinion, it is better to give them a good time at dinner today!" After eating only all kinds of canned food and meat for such a long time, every time I see these soft and weak green seedlings, I have a great appetite, but I know that this thing is not edible, it is just a pleasure in my mouth.

"What nonsense? Eat it when it sprouts, you think I'm a raw sprout? ”

Wang Shanqi is also poor, although the life of these two months is hard, but it is better to have nothing to do, and it is more comfortable than the previous life, and everyone's words are a little more.

I thought he might be going to hit me, so I laughed and jumped up and left, Xiao Kan looked behind me and laughed, she probably hadn't seen me like this in a long time.

At the other end of the room was a table full of various archival materials, and Liu Dongxi was discussing something with Wang Dakegege. This guy is a monkey temper, he can't be idle, and after settling down, he developed a hobby of chatting with his sisters, but Wang Dake accompanied Gege all day long to study those materials, and Liu Shixi had to follow to make up the numbers, claiming to use his rich theoretical and practical experience to guide them. God knows how many of the terms mentioned in those sources he can understand. But so far, he still has an advantage in his ability to fool as a Jianghu person, and he often talks to the two girls.

Wang Dake also slowly returned to his normal mental state, and the smile on his face increased, I don't know if I have thought about it or what, anyway, I haven't heard inhuman arguments again. It's just that this girl's infatuation with Lu Yan has not subsided, and she usually doesn't have much contact, but she always keeps an eye on Lu Yan, and takes care of her food, clothing, and daily life. Of course, all this is accompanied by the sound of Liu Dongxi's gritted teeth, if he wasn't worried that he couldn't fight, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago.

Of course, this is just a joke, although Lu Yan treats people as cold as before, but he has been unanimously loved by us, in Wang Dake's matter, Liu Dongxi also saw it, according to his words, it is his own business, and it has nothing to do with others.

Xiaohua just sat with Lu Yan every day, not saying anything, sometimes staring at the wall, sometimes staring at the door, as if she had become a punk version of Lu Yan. As for Lu Yan, his condition is not very good, he seems to be losing weight all the time, his cheeks are beginning to be a little sunken, and his pale face looks more delicate.

I knew that maybe he was running out of time, and I had asked him if there was any remedy. He just shook his head and said he wasn't going to die right away. I know nothing lasts forever, but it still makes me very sad.

These two months have made me feel calmer than I have ever been, as if the things of the past, the things outside, have been cut off by the thick little iron doors of the shelter, and they no longer have anything to do with me.

I've been thinking, maybe we can live here forever, in my opinion, Xiaohua and Gege are really suitable, Liu Dongxi can naturally marry Wang Dake, Lu Yan and Wang Shanqi, the two old people, grow flowers and raise fish every day, just like this, the whole family lives together, and gives birth to a few children, which can be regarded as leaving a little blood for mankind.

But Xiao Kan mercilessly criticized my good wishes, according to her original words, "How can such a good girl as Wang Dake be cheap Liu Shi's kind of person, doesn't there be a little heavenly way?" ”

At that time, I didn't say a word, but silently thought in my heart, Heavenly Dao might really be dead.
