(The dialogues between the characters in this chapter to chapter 8 are in Sichuan dialect)

Adding more firewood to the fire, Wang Xi moved his body to adjust himself to the most comfortable position, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep for ......a while.

To be honest, it's impossible to fall asleep, at most it's a matter of closing your eyes and recuperating, after all, even if there are no walking corpses in this mountain, there is no guarantee that there will be no wild beasts.

But this night he wore thick clothes, and there was a fire to accompany him, and he got through the ...... after thinking about it.

The sky has begun to turn white, but the mountain is still not good because of the fog, Wang Xi can only wait for the sun to come out.

"Ahh

The morning is always colder, and Wang Xi is already eager to hold the fire, but this sneeze still keeps .......

After a while, the sun finally emerged from another mountain, and as the sun rose, the sunlight slowly spread over the mountain forest, and at the same time dispersed the mist.

Wang Xi stood up and did some stretching, stepped on the fire with his feet, put on his backpack, and looked left, right and front.

"Up north and down south, left west right east".

He silently recited the directions applied to the map, then pointed the right side of his body at the place where the sun rose, determined the position of the north, south, south, and north, and finally marked a higher hill to the south, and began the day's journey home.

Although he felt that his idea of identifying the direction was very good, he was still not so sure in his own heart, but now he could only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.

All the way over the mountains, when Wang Xi was about to climb over a mountain, he seemed to hear the sound of someone talking, stopped and listened carefully, but he couldn't hear anything, he could only feel that he had heard the sound, laughed awkwardly, and continued to walk .......

Pestle with a picked up stick, Wang Xi stood on the top of the mountain panting, this mountain made him tired enough, looking at the dense woods on the top of the mountain, directly blocking the mountain he originally set as a mark, no way, first out of this forest to determine the direction, and then take advantage of the dinner time to rest well.

With a "cane", Wang Xi walked into the woods.

"Bell bell bell ......".

"I'll go, what's going on!?"

Just a few steps into the woods, he suddenly tripped over a rope with several brass bells hanging on it, and the brass bells clanged in an unsuspecting trip.

Just before Wang Xi could react to what was going on, there was a shout from not far away......

"Dabei (uncle), the bell is ringing inside!"

"Gua Wazi, don't be so big, quickly pick up the machete and shovel, second, come here, and take a look at the situation with us."

"Cauldron, old man, Ah An, be careful"

"You can wait there for a while, don't come here."

As soon as I heard this conversation, there were locals, and there were quite a few people, there were men and women, Wang Xi looked for the source of the voice and observed it carefully, and subconsciously threw the "crutch", and the short knife was tightly held in his hand.

As the noisy footsteps got closer and closer, Wang Xi finally saw the person clearly; Two middle-aged men and a boy, estimated to be in their teens, both with "weapons" in their hands.

He had been standing where he was, and the three of them had stopped a few meters away from him.

"Hello, I'm alive! Not the Walking Dead! ”

Wang Xi waved his hand and greeted the three of them first, and the three people not far away looked at each other when they heard his shout, and then walked over.

"Eh, it's really a drop of four living people."

When he came to Wang Xi, the eldest person looked at him carefully, and then said a word to the other two people.

"Yes, yes, uncle, you see, I am a living person".

Wang Xi also hurriedly emphasized his identity.

"I said you baby, as soon as you pass by, why did you come here to drip it?"

The elder looked at Wang Xi incredulously and asked him.

"Uncle, I'm alone, I got lost in the mountains, I set a direction randomly, and I went all the way here."

Wang Xi simply answered the elder's question.

"Oh~ why are you going to run into this mountain?"

Wang Xi told the three of them about the fact that he was studying at Shuzhong University, and how he ran all the way from Shuzhong to this place.

"Oh, you're not simple!"

praised the elders, Wang Xi only smiled.

"Young man, you see that this is too late, you also walk for a day, I'm afraid that you will be tired, so you will spend the night with us tonight."

"Thank you, uncle, I can't ask for it, thank you!"

Wang Xi heard that they intended to keep him overnight, and hurriedly thanked the three of them.

"But we have a small request, I don't know if you agree?"

"Requirements? Uncle, tell me first."

There are still requirements, Wang Xi can only listen to what kind of requirements it is before making a decision.

"I don't have to sprinkle, so I want you to take off your clothes and pants first, we want to confirm whether you have a sprinkle wound when you give birth to four, it's as simple as that."

It turned out that they were afraid that they would be infected by the walking corpse, this request was very reasonable, and he would have made such a request, and after Wang Xi agreed, he took off his clothes.

"Okay, okay, you don't have any seeds on you, it's safe, put on your clothes quickly, I'm sorry, forgive me."

"It's okay, it's okay".

Wang Xi was polite while picking up the clothes on the ground and putting them on.

"Come, young man, come with us."

Seeing that Wang Xi was dressed, the elder beckoned to him, signaling that he could leave here.

After following the three of them for a short distance, Wang Xi saw a place similar to a camp, and there were several people in the camp, some old and some young standing there looking at this side.

"This is my daughter-in-law, this is my brother's daughter-in-law, this is our old mother, this is my old father, and this is my brother's baby."

"Hello aunt, hello aunt, hello grandma, good grandpa......"

Wang Xi listened to the introduction of the elders and greeted them one by one in order.

"I'm the eldest in the family, this is my brother, he is my son."

"Hello uncle, hello second uncle, hello little brother...".

The elder introduced himself and the other two, during which the family greeted Wang Xi politely and politely returned the salute.

"Oh, my name is Wang Xi, and I'm still a student, you can call me Little Bear."

Wang Xi, who suddenly reacted, also introduced himself to this big family.

"Little Bear, okay, you sit up Huo Cha first, your aunt and they are already doing it."

The uncle let Wang Xi come to a table made of several wooden planks on the rocks, and let him sit on a log pier, then waved a small cup of tea on the table, then lifted a black teapot outside, poured a little tea that had already been brewed, and then waved, and finally poured a new cup of tea and gave it to him.

Wang Xi took the teacup with both hands, thanked him, and then drank it in one gulp.

The uncle looked at him, smiled innocently and filled him with a cup of tea, and then the uncle himself poured some tea with a cut mineral water bottle and sat down opposite Wang Xi, while the youngest child squatted next to him with a plastic car that was already very tattered, looking at Wang Xi curiously.

Wang Xi smiled at the child and grinned, teasing him casually, and then Wang Xi observed the small camp.

The camp was built on the flattest part of the hilltop, and there was a small house made of wooden planks, and the plastic sheeting inside could be seen through the gaps between the wooden boards.

On one side of the cabin is a whole piece of canvas hanging from the trees, and under the canvas is the kitchen, and the reason why I know that it is the kitchen is because I saw my aunt cooking there.

On the other side of the cabin, several trees were connected with ropes, and the ropes were covered with mattresses and quilts.

"Did they just wash it today?"

Wang Xi looked at the bedding that was drying and guessed casually in his heart.

"Old man, the sun is going down, you live and put the things in the sun first."

Wang Xi had just finished observing this small camp when he saw his aunt coming out of the kitchen with a potato peeling in her hand, and she told her uncle in a loud voice.

The uncle simply agreed, then got up and walked towards the place where the things were drying, and the second uncle also put down the work of chopping wood and walked there.

Wang Xi didn't want to be idle like this, so he immediately got up and put away the futon with the eldest and second uncles.

"The damp drops in this mountain are very damp, and these pad drops and cover drops have to be taken out every day to bask in the sun, or the cotton paws and claws will not be able to sleep."

Together with Wang Xi, he took off the last bit of bedding from the rope, and the second uncle told him the reason for drying these things.

"Oh, I thought you washed and dried it today."

"Ouch, it's not easy to pick up a drop of water, and there is no water to wash things."

Yes, there is no water source on this mountain, and it seems that there is really no condition to wash so many things now.

Entering the house and the uncle to lay out the futon together, in fact, the futon was spread on the floor of the thick hay of all kinds of pads, and the left and right sides of the house were laid in a row, and then the second uncle brought a bucket of firewood from the outside that had not been burned clean, and hung it directly on a rope on the beam of the house.

Outside, the two old men were already sitting at the table, the aunt and the younger brother were bringing a few dishes to the table, and the aunt was putting rice in a large pot and ......spoonful by spoon into a stack of bowls in front of her.

The eldest uncle and the second uncle beckoned Wang Xi to come to the table and sit down, and then took a small bowl of rice handed to him by his aunt, looking at the extremely simple side dishes on the table, Wang Xi was a little excited for a while.

Looking at the steaming white rice and fresh vegetables, if these were placed in the past, Wang Xi, who was a picky eater, would not have cut a chopstick, but now it seems that it is like a full banquet in front of him, so he doesn't know where to start eating.

"Little bear, what's wrong, can't you get used to eating these wild vegetables?"

The aunt looked at Wang Xi, who had been in a daze and didn't move the chopsticks, and asked him in a polite tone.

"No, no, I ...... because I really haven't seen a hot meal for a long time, and I'm so excited."

After listening to Wang Xi's explanation, the family also looked at each other, and they didn't know how much he had suffered, even such a simple dinner could make a boy feel like this.

"Mao is polite, come, eat more".

The uncle put more than half of the rice in his bowl into Wang Bin's bowl, and the aunt also put a column of wild vegetables in Wang Bin's bowl, and said to eat more and eat more, we were all afraid.

Wang Xi knew that this seemingly simple dinner was already the best meal that the family could do, and the amount was not much, if they ate more, they would have to eat less, it was really a simple family.
