The lamp warmed the room, the clothes on her body were already dry, and the two friends stared at the woman's every move.

She poured the fish into a stone pot, filled it with water, and put it on the lamp holder to boil. When the water boiled, she scraped a little salt powder with a stone knife, put it in a pot, and gave each of the two children a bowl.

The fat man picked up the bowl, drank the milky white soup in one go, and grabbed a small fish in each hand to eat.

"Kaiming, don't be stunned, it tastes so good. ”

He didn't have anything to do after drinking, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Faced with the hot soup, saliva is already rolling in the mouth.

The woman's face was particularly clear in the light, with faint eyebrows and red lips, and she had never been heard to speak, and it was unknown why she lived alone in a deep cave.

After drinking the soup, my stomach is warm, I rest for five minutes, and my strength gradually recovers.

Together with the fat man, follow the woman out of the stone house, walking among the high and low stones, these stones are limestone, the same texture as the statues in the house.

When I got out of the rocks, the temperature immediately rose, and sweat began to break out on my forehead.

She stopped in front of a red-glowing hole in the ground, her fingers signaling to be careful.

The two children stood on the edge and leaned towards the entrance of the cave, the hot air rushing upward, and the place five or six meters deep was a fiery red, and the magma kept tumbling.

The sweat on his head dripped on the lava and disappeared into a wisp of white gas.

It was the first time to look at the lava at such a close distance, and the fat man next to him retracted, his feet shaking.

She's reminding the children of the existence of the lava cave and not to accidentally fall into it, as if she's going to keep the two of them here.

When she saw the children gesturing with their hands and asking for the exit of the cave, her eyes sank, and she slowly raised her arm and pointed to the high rock wall, where there was a small cave.

"Fatty, go quickly, that's the exit. ”

He stood at the bottom of the cliff and watched his companion climb up, "Kaiming, the entrance to the cave is high above the ground. "100 meters is more than he can handle.

"Then you're going to stay here. ”

The fat man glanced around the dimly lit cave and the woman behind him, "No, I'm going home." "Climb the rock wall hand and foot together.

The two reached the entrance of the cave and looked down, where the woman was still standing.

"Isn't she leaving?" asked the fat man.

Trying to wave her hand down, she shook her head.

"What a weirdo. Leave her alone, let's go. ”

Crawling down the narrow hole, hearing the sound of rushing water, the two of them returned to the rapids. Go against the current and reach the abyssal pond where dragons lurk.

The fat man could not swim and stood on the edge of the pool and refused to enter the water. There was no choice but to support his chin from behind and take the risk of dragging him across the other side.

Paddled with its hands and feet, its eyes kept an eye on the dragon's movements, its eyes kept wide, apparently noticing the movement of the water. The long body swung and began to float, and it swam around the two children, not rushing to attack, but to swallow two at the same time.

When the fat man saw the dragon beside him, his eyes immediately dilated, and his hands swayed wildly. It's tiring enough to drag this fat guy, he's still moving around and swimming even slower.

A frog swam by, and the dragon chased it, and the two climbed ashore.

The dragon dived back underwater, finally breathing a sigh of relief

"When you go back, you'll definitely learn how to swim. ”

The fat man nodded, "I won't dare to go into the cave to play in the future." ”

The two left the underground river, their shoes halfway through, rumbling ...... The cavern made a loud noise and began to shake, and the pointed bell* on top fell, smashing into the ground around it.

The two of them retreated to the wall with one shoe each, and walked out against the wall, reaching the narrowest place, where a few lines cracked above the hole.

"Drill through here, it's going to collapse. "Push the fat man into the hole, and bang...... The sound of cracking rocks rings in my ears.

As soon as the foot withdrew, there was a boom, and the entrance to the cave was blocked by falling stones.

Rushing out of the cave in the face of gravel, it was already dark outside, and the two were panting and lying on the grass with exhaustion.

A few flashlights streaked across the grass and shone on the two dusty faces. The fat man ran towards them and threw himself into a man's arms.

The man wiped the tears from his face and examined his limbs, "Son, how did you run into the cave to play?

"Dad, I'm fine. There is a dragon in the cave, and there is also a woman living there. ”

When the men heard this, they laughed.

Knowing that no matter how much they explained, they didn't believe it at all, so they silently followed the end, back to the lighted mine.

Two ambulances were parked at the scene, the back door was open, and medical workers wearing masks stood outside, watching the mine workers digging and listening to people around them say that the earthquake triggered a landslide that buried several workers.

Returning to the village by car, my mother was waiting at the entrance of the village, and the family's house had fallen a few pieces of rubble in the earthquake.

There was a lot of clutter in the house, the picture frame was broken in the corner of the wall, and it was originally placed on the cabinet opposite, which was not caused by the earthquake.

The parents began to clean up the things on the floor and did not say a word to each other.

Before going to bed, the mother came to her son's bedside and asked if she would like to leave the village with her and live in the city.

This is what his son dreams of, and there is no reason to refuse.

The next day, the school was busy repairing the school building, and the children stayed in the village to play.

In the evening, my mother had already packed my luggage, and my father went to drink at home.

The mother and son walked out of the bungalow and yard where they had been living and came to the entrance of the village.

Xiaoya and Silly Brother were already waiting there, and the mother asked her son to say goodbye to his little friend, who was young at that time and didn't know what to say, just a few words of goodbye, watching their appearance gradually blur behind the bus.

"The sun is out. ”

Angel's laughter echoed through the room, and Kaiming woke up on the couch to see her and Xiaoya standing by the window, watching the rising sun. The wall clock on the wall showed that he had slept for nine hours and was still tired. Pushing through the torn blanket, I heard the sound of ice hanging outside and smashing to the ground.

The golden light of the sun shone directly into the house, and everyone blocked their eyes with their hands.

The temperature rises above freezing, the icebergs begin to melt, merge into rivers, and the corpses on the ground are washed away by the current. The trees were dead and their leaves had fallen, the mountains around the village were bare, there were no animals to be seen, and the sky was covered with thick clouds, and no birds were flying.

The three of them went out wrapped in thick clothes and walked around the village, only to meet three surviving villagers, and all the poultry and crops fell to the ground.

Kai Ming used a hoe to dig out the soil in the yard, and the sweet potatoes in the field were still edible, and there was only one basket when they were all dug up.

He turned to the two women and said, "These things can only be eaten for a week, and we need to go to each house to collect enough food and supplies." ”

The three of them acted separately, Kai Ming went straight to the village chief's house, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a man coming out with two sacks, climbing through the window and entering the room, the refrigerator was opened, and it was empty, "Damn, he took the lead." ”

He returned home empty-handed, and Angel and Xiaoya found three bottles of milk and a few packets of biscuits.

Kaiming frowned and said, "I can't survive the winter with this little food." ”

"The stuff was looted. Angel slumped on the couch, pounding her knees.

Xiaoya suggested, "Why don't you go to the town and have a look." ”

Kaiming called Angel, and Xiaoya stayed at home to take care of the food and take care of the children. Angel's car was in tatters and had no gas, and all the village was searched, except for an off-road vehicle parked in the garage of the village chief's house.

Break open the cab's compartment, which contains car keys and a silver pistol.

"Good fellows. "Kemin turned on* and looked at the twelve rounds full of ammunition, and the pistol was tucked into his pocket.

When Angel put on his seatbelt, he stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle broke through the roller gate of the garage.

There are corpses lying in many places in the town, the smell of fish rushing into the nose when the sun is shining, the market is dimly lit, fruits and vegetables are difficult to find in the stalls, and there is a rotten smell on the meat stalls.

The refrigerator was all pried open, and it was empty. The two walked out of the vegetable market with their noses covered, the doors and windows of the shops on the street were smashed, and the goods were looted.

Three young men, seventeen-year-olds, with dyed blonde hair and black panther tattoos on their arms, swaggered over, blocking Kai Ming and Angel's path.

"Hand over the money and the watch. The guy with a big nose said with his head held high.

Kaiming lowered his head and smiled, lifted the corner of his coat, revealing the pistol at his waist, "Little brother, I advise you to go back to school early, and don't wander around the street if you have nothing to do." ”

The three young men looked at each other, all lifted the corners of their clothes, and the preserved eggs were full of grenades, small*, and the big-nosed youth smiled and said: "Uncle, obediently hand over your things, otherwise you will provoke our Black Panther Gang and let you die on the street." ”

The firepower was obviously inferior to others, Kai Ming untied the watch in his hand and took the initiative to hand it to him.

"Hey, what are you doing?" a police car pulled up nearby, and officers pointed to several people on the sidewalk.

Without saying a word, the three young men turned around and copied the guys,* punching bullet holes in the door of the car, throwing a grenade-bomb into it, and blowing up the roof of the car.

Kai Ming pulled Angel across a few blocks and returned to the off-road vehicle, "The young people nowadays are so hateful that they will start fighting if they don't agree with each other. ”

Angel wiped her sweat and said, "What are the Black Panthers in their mouths?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's a little gang of them. It's too chaotic in town, let's go back to the village first. Kemin started the car and turned around and drove away from town.

Angel called her mother, now the city is in turmoil, there are robberies everywhere, her mother stays in the hospital where the police are stationed, and her physical safety is guaranteed, she told Angel not to go back to the city for the time being.

"It looks like we're going to spend the winter in the village. She put down the phone and said to Kemin, "There is not enough food in stock, and it is questionable whether we can survive this winter." ”

"Now there is no other way but to rely on my own planting. ”

Back in the village, Kaiming began to cut the sweet potatoes in the basket into cubes and bury them in the yard and in the field. Angel crouched on the ground, turning over the black soil with a small hoe, chopping up the precious food and burying it in the ground, hoping that it would grow more, not believing that this would solve the problem and would only make the food scarce.
