Soon, the collection bins that carried us were filled with recyclable garbage. We simply cleaned up the bits and pieces of garbage, gathered them together as much as we could, and then we lay motionless on top of the filthy garbage like mummies in a sarcophagus. I know we're about to enter the final leg of our journey. It's a dark world, with only the conveyor belt rattling around and carrying a train of collection bins full of recyclable garbage slowly towards the distant exit, and we are lying in one of them.

The stench of the garbage is less intense now, partly because I've gotten used to it, and partly because it's loaded with recyclable waste, and the extremely bad smell is not as bad as it was when I first started. I kept my eyes closed, trying not to imagine the tons of mud on my head and the narrow pipes I was traveling. Although Amanda and I were silent, I could hear Amanda's steady and powerful breathing just a stone's throw away, and I was immediately reassured.

About an hour or so passed, and finally a faint glow of light seeped in not far ahead. After a while, the continuous flickering light suddenly became clear. We're close to the finish line. Immediately after that, we broke away from our inhibited environment and got up.

Amanda took my right hand and said, "We'll see what happens." As soon as the collection box is crooked, we jump down. ”

"Okay." His hand was warm and thick, and I rubbed it gently.

Sure enough, in an instant, the collection box was dumped crookedly, and the waste inside was pouring out, so Amanda and I jumped out as well.

As soon as I stood on my feet, I saw a tall man in front of me staring at me intently, I suddenly felt breathless in my chest, I was completely frightened, how could there be anyone here?!

At this time, Amanda's melodious and deep voice sounded in his ears.

"Oh, don't be afraid! It's okay! This is the old worker who cleans up the garbage here. In fact, the people who wander through this smoky garbage dump are not too much, but if they want to say less, they are not too little, and Lao Lai has long been surprised. It's just that he's a little dazed today, I think it's because he rarely sees a young and beautiful girl like you. ”

Looks like I'm really having a false alarm.

While I was looking at Lao Lai, he had already turned his head to concentrate on his work. Despite his burly build, he already showed some signs of a hunchback, and it was evident that he had been working here for a short time.

"He's definitely used to the smell." I said involuntarily.

"Hey! In fact, his nose has long been unable to smell at all. It would be nice if you couldn't smell at all because of the lack of congenital olfactory genes, but unfortunately it was a complete loss of smell caused by long-term work here. In order to survive for a long time, you have to pay such a big price! Amanda sighed quietly.

That's how fate teases people! In order to survive for a long time, everyone must slowly smooth out the sharp edges and corners.

Amanda and I walked out of this memorable garbage dump. Before leaving, I looked back again, and this scene and this person were embarrassing. Although there are not too many artificial constraints on this side of the water and soil, its dilapidated scene is shocking and chilling.

After walking out of the junkyard for less than a moment, Amanda turned to me and said, "I'll take you somewhere where you can settle down and rest." ”

"Okay." I stayed close by his side, and his kind and warm words rekindled my longing for life. It's a non-factional territory, but I don't think it's too bad to be a day-to-day life.

We walked through a large area of barren dirt and finally stepped onto the asphalt road. Of course, it's a bit of an exaggeration to call it an asphalt road, because it's so crippled and messy. Then we turned several more corners before we came to a stop in front of a gray gate.

Amanda knocked softly on the door, and it was a few moments before there was movement inside. An elderly man's voice asked slowly, "Who?" ”

"Me, Amanda."

The door opened immediately, and the old uncle looked at Amanda and said angrily, "Why are you here again?!" But he couldn't hide the innocent smile on his face.

"Hey, it's hard to put into words!" Amanda said relaxedly, and he turned his head again and introduced me to the old man. "This is my friend Xu Meng. …… This is the step-uncle. ”

It would be perfect if he could introduce me as his girlfriend!

After my uncle and I shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, we walked into the small courtyard where my uncle lived. The courtyard is quite simple, but it is very neat and cozy. Several large tiled houses stand side by side in the center of the small courtyard, which is similar to the farmhouse of my time.

We were about to enter a large tiled house in the middle, when our stepaunt happened to come out, and we happened to meet each other, and after another honest and subtle greeting, we finally sat down on the bamboo chairs in the house.

The step-aunt was also blaming Amanda: "Why are you here again?!" How dangerous! If you fall into the septic tank, you will definitely die! From their words and deeds, smiles and smiles, I can see that the relationship between the old couple and Amanda must be more than just an ordinary acquaintance, they are like a family, but each other's surnames do not match at all. Amazing?! At this time, the old lady was chattering and brought us hot buns, "It's better to come early than to come by chance, the big buns just came out of the cage." ”

Before the buns were on the table, Amanda grabbed one and nibbled on it. "You haven't washed your hands yet!" The step-aunt was like a mother again. Amanda hurriedly smiled and rubbed her hand on her pants a few times before continuing to eat. The stepaunt shook her head helplessly.

Seeing his mouth gobbling up open and closing, I immediately felt hungry too. After washing my hands with a basin of water brought by my step-aunt, I grabbed a large bun and ate it in a big gulp, along with the two side dishes that my step-aunt brought me later. While I munched on the hot buns in my hand, I couldn't help but reminisce about this scene, as if I had returned to my hometown after a long absence, and the taste of joy was so wonderful!

After a hearty meal, I got up and was about to clean up the table, but my stepaunt took my hand, "Don't worry about it, just let my wife clean up." Then she took me by the hand and went to a tiled house next door. You sleep in this room. She laid out the pillow and quilt again, "You must have worked hard to walk around the ghost door once." Get a good night's sleep and take care of your body and mind. The boys are full of energy, and our women's bodies and bones can't compare to them. ”

That's right, I can't get rid of it anymore, because the lingering tiredness has begun to sweep over my body uncontrollably. After my aunt left, I simply washed my face and collapsed on the bed, my eyes fighting fiercely. As soon as my head touched the pillow, I sank into a peaceful sleep.
