The weather was fine the next day, but neither of them got up early as usual and hurried to take advantage of the coolness of the morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, they are not in a hurry today, and even if they carry heavy objects, they will only be less than three hours away at most, so the two of them finally have the mood to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

It's also a shame to say that the two of them have been getting along day and night for a while, but they are under the pressure of survival every day, and they are really not in the mood to enjoy the scenery of nature.

During this time, Ding Chen's classification of things was basically limited to "useful" or "useless", "dangerous" or "not threatening", and to put it more simply, "can be eaten" or "cannot be eaten". This is also a simple summary of the life of two people for half a month.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Ding Chen lazily jumped out of the hammock and began to prepare breakfast. Ye Dai ran to the river to wash her face.

Ding Chen dug a ditch by the river yesterday, and now he is happy to find that there are several fish of different styles trapped in it, and finally cleaned Ding Chen's title of "King of Catfish".

Stewed river fish with wild vegetables collected on the road, two people who were satisfied with the meal went on the road, lunch can be saved directly, and dinner will undoubtedly be solved in the apartment.

There were no surprises along the way, and I didn't meet anyone. Ding Chen felt that it was normal, but Ye Dai felt strange, because the weather was good, under normal circumstances, the people in the apartment should send out a patrol. And Ye Dai remembers that at this time of year, she has already begun to prepare for the autumn harvest. But now she didn't see anyone, so she was a little worried about what was going on in the apartment.

Ding Chen felt that she was too sensitive. Because when they passed by a field of sunflowers, they found that the fruit bowls there had been cut down and taken away. Ding Chen inspected the section and felt that the incision was very fresh, and it should have been formed two days ago. However, many of the incisions were not smooth enough, and there were even marks of sawing, apparently due to the lack of strength of the harvesters, indicating that there was a lack of manual laborers in the apartment.

When approaching the apartment, Ye Dai began to habitually be suspicious again, because normally, the big children in the apartment should play in this area, but now they haven't seen any of them, when Ding Chen first arrived at the apartment, he was discovered by these big children first.

After walking for another trip, he could already see the roof of the apartment, Ye Dai took off his hat and waved in the direction of the apartment, hoping that the people who were guarding the roof would be able to see him.

Ding Chen's eyesight was very good, and he vaguely saw a figure shaking on the roof, and it seemed that he should have found the two of them.

Once here, they were back on the road. Although the abandoned highway is full of cracks and weeds, it is easier to walk than the dirt road, so the speed of the two people is not slow, and soon they come to the door of the apartment, and then see a bicycle parked in front of the door.

Ding Chen was excited when he saw it, it's right to have a bicycle, this is the end of the world with Chinese characteristics.

The people in the building had already received the news from the sentinel, so they poured out to watch the returnees. Seeing these people, Ye Dai's pace, which had been speeding up because of excitement, suddenly slowed down, and then gradually stopped.

Ding Chen immediately realized that something was wrong, let go of the cart he was pushing, and quickly followed, and at the same time adjusted the rifle he was carrying to his right shoulder, and his pistol was still hidden in his pants.

There are a lot of people coming out of the apartment, but the people who walk in front are very orderly, which is a rare thing in an apartment. In Ding Chen's observation, the class concept here is not strong, and the father is not a very authoritative person.

But the person standing in front at this time was not Dad, but a young man, a young man that Ding Chen didn't know.

He wore a light gray elastic tank top, cargo pants, and sneakers, revealing the muscles on his body. What made Ding Chen feel disagreeable was that this person combed a big back, which was really incommensurate with his sportswear.

Beside the young man, there were six men of different shapes, all dressed in shirts, unbuttoned because of the heat, and in the open clothes you could see the pistols stuck in their belts.

The six men stood in a semicircle, faintly surrounding the young man and his father in the middle. However, in Ding Chen's opinion, Dad didn't look like he was being held hostage, because Li Xiang and the "Duke" were standing behind him.

Looking at Ye Dai who stopped walking, the young man whispered a word to his father, and then walked over, looked at the strip of cloth tied to Ye Dai's left arm, and said in a reproachful tone: "Why are you still so careless?" ”

To be honest, even a person with a dull sense like Ding Chen can hear the deep concern in this person's words. However, this person can say what he cares about so hardly, and he is really a rare talent.

Ye Dai was obviously not moved by the other party's words, she looked at the young man coldly, "Xu Shuidong, what are you doing here?" You are not welcome here. ”

The young man named Xu Shuidong shook his head, "Of course it's because of you. He said, "If nothing happened to you, how could I be here?" ”

After speaking, his gaze crossed Ye Dai and fell on Ding Chen, who was standing behind Ye Dai, and frowned and said, "You are Ding Chen?" He looked Ding Chen up and down: "It's because of you that she fell into the water?" ”

"You're saying the opposite." Ye Dai said: "It was because of me that he fell into the water." She stared at Xu Shuidong's face and said, "Now I'm fine, you can go." ”

Xu Shuidong withdrew his gaze from Ding Chen's body, looked at Ye Dai and nodded, thought about it, and said to Ding Chen: "Aren't you going to the old city?" Let's go tomorrow. ”

"It's not your turn to dictate here." Ye Dai said coldly.

Ding Chen laughed, he reached out and gently pressed Ye Dai's arm, pushing her aside. Because it was hot, Ye Dai was not wearing work clothes, and the two sleeves of the shirt were torn off, so Ding Chen's hand pressed directly on Ye Dai's skin. Ye Dai was used to this level of contact, and her mind was all on Xu Shuidong, so she didn't show any resistance.

Seeing this scene, Xu Shuidong's face immediately became more gloomy.

After pushing Ye Dai away, Ding Chen took a step forward, stood in front of Xu Shuidong, and chuckled: "Why do you think I will listen to you?" ”

"It's for your good." Xu Shuidong said with a straight face: "If you want to go to the old city, you'd better be polite to me." ”

Ding Chen looked at him and nodded, "That's a good reason, it can be compared to freedom and democracy." He said, "But can you explain why?" ”

"Because I'm on the old side of the city right now." Xu Shuidong said: "Is this reason enough? ”

"It's not enough." Ding Chen said: "I went there to find something, if it was your territory, would you let me take what I found?" He said, "In that case, it seems that it makes no difference how I treat you." ”

"I think there is, and it's big." Xu Shuidong said: "The gap may be so big that you can leave alive." ”

"That's what you say." Ding Chen said: "Why should I go? He looked up at the apartment building, "I think it's good to live here, maybe I can wait and pick up the trash." ”

Xu Shuidong looked at him with a research gaze and slowly shook his head, "Don't challenge my patience. He said, "I'm willing to waste time and say so much because you came back with Ye Dai." ”

"Then you'd better ignore the reason." Ding Chen said: "Because I don't want to owe others love, especially women's love. He spread his hands and said: "A person like me, who has nothing to do and lives by picking up garbage, if he owes someone a favor, he can only make a promise." He shook his head and said, "To be honest, I quite like this kind of single life now." ”

Xu Shuidong stared at him for a while, a smile slowly appeared on his face, and he said dryly: "It's humorous, but I accept it." He said, "I heard that you are very good at fighting?" ”

He raised his right hand and hooked it back with two fingers in the middle of the food, "San'er, you come and try him." ”

"Don't move." Ye Dai, who had never spoken, suddenly stood up and raised the rifle in her hand to aim at Xu Shuidong and the others, "This is my newly acquired gun, I haven't used it to hit anyone yet, maybe I can use you to test my power." ”

Xu Shuidong was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Ye Dai, shook his head and sighed: "Woman, don't fall in love so soon?" He shook his head and said, "He doesn't deserve you." ”

"It's not your turn to do this." Ye Dai said calmly, she reached out and pulled the bolt to load, "Don't challenge my patience." "You know I can do it," she said. ”

With her voice, there was a chuckle from Ding Chen beside her, and naturally Ye Dai and Xu Shuidong had big eyes.
