Soon, the woman served everyone's meal. The sick son also sat up from the car, and the family of four had a simple lunch.

Ren Yi sat a little farther away from them, still feeling the warmth of the firewood pile. The fragrance and heat of the white porridge drifted to Ren Yi's side with the cold wind.

Ren Yi looked at this family of four in a trance, it used to be so lively in the dart game, and many people ate together around the table.

"My surname is Yu, you can call me Lao Yu. What do you call a lad? ”

Lao Yu held the bowl and chatted while drinking.

"You're so good at beating rabbits! It's Orion at home, right? ”

Ren Yi did not answer.

"I also want to get some meat for the two children to eat, but unfortunately I don't have the ability like you, so I can only exchange dry food with people everywhere."

"Where are you going, young man?" Lao Yu didn't feel Ren Yi's snub and continued.

If you don't answer, the atmosphere will be too stiff, so Ren Yi replied simply: "Go southwest." ”

"Huh? Southwest? Just by the way, we are also going to the southwest! Lao Yu was stunned, and immediately said excitedly, "Young man, if you want, go with us!" ”

"The further down you go, the more barren it becomes, and you can't get anything to eat. I'd like to hire you to help hunt rabbits, what? ”

"Why are you going to the Southwest?" Ren Yi frowned, that land is almost ownerless, and the heroes are strife, and the defenseless people like them are looking for death every minute.

"Alas, it's not ......," Lao Yu sighed.

"There's no way to live, so I'm looking for a meal." Sister-in-law Yu hurriedly raised her eyes to look at Lao Yu and interrupted him.

Ren Yi glanced at her.

"Ahem, the northern fortress city has long been stabilized, don't be like this everywhere. Go to the chaotic place, say that there is still a shortage of people, and eat with a mouthful. Sister-in-law Yu smiled reluctantly, quickly stood up, packed up the two children's jobs and went away.

Then she didn't look at Ren Yi anymore, and kept grabbing the snow water to wipe the rice residue in the bowl, and her hands were red from the cold and working neatly.

Although it is obvious that there is something hidden in these two words, this is in the wilderness after all, and who can tell the truth to whom.

It's normal to be defensive, but as long as it doesn't hurt people, Ren Yi doesn't bother to get to the bottom of it.

"The clouds are coming." Lao Yu raised his head and looked at the sky that suddenly darkened.

As soon as the sky was overcast, the wind whined in the wilderness, the dead grass fell violently in the wind, and the remaining little fire was extinguished.

Lao Yu's broken car was blown by the wind and the pots and pans clanged, and he immediately trotted over against the wind and tied up a bunch of his things. His son and daughter hid in the broken felt, shivering.

The wind blew on Ren Yi's face, and he wrapped the cotton coat on his body tightly.

The wind is getting more and more urgent, and the black clouds and golden light in the sky are changing rapidly, and a heavy snow is about to fall.

"I saw it when I came, and there was a cave in front of it!" In the strong wind, Lao Yu squinted his eyes and shouted, "Let's go in and hide!" ”

With that, he grabbed a strap made of tire rubber from the ground and put it on himself. At the other end of the rope was a huge broken wooden cart, and Sister-in-law Yu was pushing it with difficulty. The two of them resisted the wind and almost bowed their backs into an arc.

There were already snow flakes caught in the wind and hit Ren Yi's face.

"How long are you two going to push like this?" Ren Yi shouted in the wind, "I'll come!" ”

The north wind howled, and the blizzard fell wildly.

A group of people finally rushed to the small cave found by Lao Yu before the snow fell, Ren Yi threw down the leather rope and gasped, and the cold wind froze his lungs.

"Thank you so much!" Lao Yu and his family eased up and kept thanking them.

"Ahem......" Suddenly, the boy lying on the flatbed truck coughed violently, and his pale face turned red.

"Little Jun, Little Jun!" Lao Yu and his wife immediately pounced, found a small porcelain bottle in a pile of broken copper and iron, poured out a few pills and stuffed them into the boy's mouth.

After a long time, Yu Jun finally calmed down, and fell back on the flatbed truck extremely weakly, looking at the top of the cave with confused eyes.

Ren Yi was surprised: "So sick? What disease? ”

Lao Yu and his wife sighed helplessly, and both of them had a deep tiredness on their faces, "Alas, I don't know what the disease is, and I don't have money to see a doctor." ”

Sister-in-law Yu explained helplessly, "My child's life is hard, and he has a fever and burns his brain since he was a child, and he can't speak." I can't say what he suffers, and we don't know where he is uncomfortable. ”

Oh...... Ren Yi nodded, no wonder he hadn't heard him speak during the meal.

The afternoon had been overcast, and the sky and the earth were blue-gray. Heavy snow fell until dark.

The two groups of people were not familiar with each other, and soon there was nothing to say. Ren Yi sat at the entrance of the cave and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Lao Yu fiddled with a radio, the signal in the hole was not good, and a creaking and rattling sound came.

Ren Yi glanced at him, and Lao Yu nodded at him embarrassedly: "It's okay to be idle, listen to it...... Right away. After a long time, it is not good. ”

Rustle –

Finally, the unbearable voice ended, and a female announcer with a round voice came intermittently.

"Lingzhou suffers from ...... A catastrophe unseen in 200 years...... Rustle......"

"Long Fu, Zhong Kang and other alliance members urgently sent reinforcement troops...... With the strong assistance of sister cities, the post-disaster emergency relief has been basically completed as of today. ”

"Jiang Lan, commander of the Longfu City Patrol Division, said that he was willing to accept the elderly, women, and children who were affected by the earthquake."

"The Lingzhou Temporary Command said that the focus of the next work will be on post-disaster reconstruction."

……

Ren Yi's expression darkened, and he turned his back.

OK. Ren Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Lingzhou's urgent need has been solved, and there are still people helping them.

It had been some days since he left Lingzhou, and he never had the courage to inquire about Lingzhou.

He also wanted to know how the injured were being rescued, how the rest were resettled, and what the future would be.

On several occasions he wanted to open the "round sky" and judge how the people of Lingzhou were doing by reading their thoughts, but after repeated hesitation, he still did not do so.

The homes of the people of Lingzhou are shattered, their relatives are separated, and the voice of 200,000 is a burden that he absolutely can't bear.

He was also afraid to hear about the game and his father.

Ren You doesn't remember that he still has a son now, and every time Ren Yi thinks about it now, he feels extremely sad.

It all started because of me.

Maybe I don't bother them anymore, which is the biggest concern for the people of Lingzhou.

Let's wait until revenge is over. Otherwise, what face do I have to meet them?

"Your radio is too noisy, so turn it off." Ren Yi said coldly.

"Okay." Lao Yu nodded a little embarrassedly.

I don't know how long it took, Ren Yi was closing his eyes and recuperating, and he vaguely felt that someone was sitting down beside him.

Ren Yi opened a slit and saw Lao Yu's face in front of him, obviously with an expression that he had something to say.

"Thanks to your help just now. We're both old bones, and we can't run, and now that we think about it, if we encounter some emergencies, it's still quite scary. ”

"Young man, I see that you are very good, we want to hire you to help on the way......"

"It's not a big deal!" Lao Yu immediately said, "Just help beat a rabbit, push a cart or something, and don't delay your time!" Anyway, you're going to the southwest, and you're going to have to eat, so you can make some extra money. ”

"You can bill by the number of times, and I can afford to pay."

After Lao Yu finished speaking, he lowered his head.

"Forget it," Ren Yi said coldly, "I have something to do in the southwest." It's inconvenient to take you with me. ”

Ren Yi himself was not sure if he had gotten rid of the surveillance of the Qiguang Society, how dare he provoke the unarmed, old, weak, sick and disabled civilians of Lao Yu's family again.

He didn't want to bother anyone anymore.

"Oh, it's okay......" Lao Yu nodded a little embarrassed.

Sister-in-law Yu made dinner, and the family called Ren Yi to eat together.

After eating, Lao Yu immediately untied the curtain on the flatbed truck and quickly set up a simple tent.

Ren Yi was dumbfounded, is he still so particular when he goes out?

"No way," Lao Yu said apologetically, "the child is sick and can't stand the wind." ”

"It's just snowed, maybe there's a wolf." Ren Yi looked at the dark night outside the cave and said, "I'll keep vigil tonight." ”

Ren Yi is still wary of Lao Yu's family, plus he has been eating well since he left Lingzhou, and his physical strength is not consumed, even if he doesn't sleep all night, it doesn't matter.

Lao Yu and his family seemed to be really unsuspecting people, so they exchanged a few polite words with him, and soon fell asleep.

The ability to survive in this wilderness is almost zero...... Ren Yi couldn't help but be surprised, could they really survive in the southwest?

The cave was silent, except for the sound of the flames, and the whole wilderness was silent.

Ren Yi held the "Elephant King" and sat with his back against the rock.

A few hours passed without change, and his consciousness became blurred.

"Uh-"

I don't know how long it took, when Ren Yi was drowsy, a strange and ethereal woman's voice came!

"Rub?" Ren Yi woke up with a stirring spirit, and suddenly he was completely sleepy.

Haunted?!

"Uh-"

The woman's voice sounded again, shriek, twisted, and intermittent, coming from behind Ren Yi!

Ren Yi exerted his strength with both hands, and the "Elephant King" rubbed out of the sheath!

The dilapidated gray tent of Lao Yu's house appeared in Ren Yi's sight. There was nothing on the other side of the cave, except for their family of four.

"......" Ren Yi quickly figured out what was going on, and was speechless in his heart.

No, Lao Yu, you two can do it, how tired are you during the day, and you are still so enthusiastic at night?

The point is that there are other people in this cave!

Ren Yi was completely so angry that he couldn't sleep, the cold wind blew, and he sat with his eyes staring until dawn.

Early the next morning, Lao Yu acted like no one else, and he didn't treat Ren Yi as an outsider and beckoned him to breakfast.

"It won't snow again today," Lao Yu put down the bowl and trotted out of the hole, covering his hands above his eyes to look at the sky, "We can go on the road, in one day's time, just enough to reach the border." ”

"Then I'll clean it up." Sister-in-law Yu quickly packed up the flatbed truck and restored the bottles and cans to their original appearance.

Ren Yi looked at the simple and hardworking figures of the two people, and instantly felt that he couldn't look at them directly.

Ren Yi occasionally helped Lao Yu pull the car in shifts, and the group was a lot faster.

When the six rounds of red sun rose to the highest point again, several people finally stood on the edge of the Eastern Alliance, opposite the Tongjing Pass that entered the center.

"Wow......" The snow is clear, and the scenery is very shocking. Lao Yu dragged the car to Ren Yi's side and couldn't stop sighing.

"Thank you for pulling the cart for me." Lao Yu smiled stiffly and nodded.

"Then let's part here, I'm in a hurry." Ren Yidao.

"Aren't you really going together?" Lao Yu said tentatively.

Ren Yi shook his head, "It's easy to go forward, the food and lodging at the junction are convenient, and you yourself have no problem." ”

As Ren Yi spoke, the neon sign of an inn in the distance lit up and shone on the snowfield.

"We'll rest at this shop at noon, why don't you eat before leaving."

"I'm in a hurry."

Separated from Lao Yu's family, Ren Yi walked down the hill alone and walked towards the wide asphalt road.

The road goes around from the majestic Tongjing Pass, which is the main road out of the city. If you walk on the side, it is estimated that you will soon encounter a large cargo truck, and maybe you can rub it for a while.

Ren Yi walked on the snow that had not yet thawed, and the heavy snow reflected the sunlight and was golden.

Suddenly, Ren Yi's vision was interrupted by darkness, and the statue-like figure of the goddess Themis jumped out:

"There is a secondary monster aura nearby, and it is strong."

"Huh?" Ren Yi immediately stopped vigilantly and looked around.

"Over there."

Following the guidance of the goddess, a red electric signboard that was half broken and flashing randomly appeared in Ren Yi's line of sight-

"Fast food, accommodation, car wash, tire repair, ......"

It's the inn that Lao Yu said he wanted to eat in the wilderness just out of the wilderness!

"Goddess, are you sure the secondary monster is in the store?"

"Sure."

Secondary monsters are humans or other creatures that have been exposed to Adventist radiation for a long time, with a deep degree of mutation, and the physical body has undergone an immutable reversal. Although it is far less powerful than the Adventist, it is enough to deal with the old, weak, sick and disabled of Lao Yu's family.

"Damn," Ren Yi was stunned, "they won't go in, will they?" ”

Anyway, keep going...... Ren Yi put the heavy sword he had just drawn out back on his body, he couldn't protect himself, how could he have the energy to take care of a group of old, weak, sick and disabled......

"I'm annoyed." Ren Yi stopped, "Lao Yu's family has no ability to survive in the wilderness at all, how did they survive so safely?" It's a miracle. ”

Hmmm-

As soon as the words fell, Ren Yi's figure on the side of the road distorted and disappeared, and appeared in front of the half-flashing hotel sign in a blink of an eye.

The dirty green cotton curtain fluttered in the cold wind, and the flatbed truck of Lao Yu's family really stopped at the door, and a pile of broken copper and iron were there, but the family of four was gone.

"It's you!" Ren Yi felt that one head and two were big.

Inside the door curtain, Lao Yu's family of four was unconscious on a long table, holding half of the uneaten bun in their hands.

The fat proprietress in a bright pink leather trench coat poured the broken bag that Lao Yu was carrying upside down and took a puff of cigarette.

"Why are you so unlucky today, I haven't met a single one with oil and water! I've met some poor ghosts and starving ghosts! It's dirty like this, chopping you will dirty my board! The proprietress yelled.

"Eldest sister," the two thin young men with yellow hair behind him nodded and walked up, "What to do with these goods?" Serve the guests or ......"

"The man and the two small ones are for the guests, there is no meat." The proprietress frowned and shook the cigarette ash with disgust, "Go back and chop it finely, add more five-spice powder, and you won't be able to eat it." ”

"Women are still fatter, according to the old rules."

"Yes. Let's work, let's work. The two guys grabbed Lao Yu one by one, and staggered up to the back kitchen, "Don't look at him to lose weight to this virtue, it's really heavy." ”

At this moment, the dark green curtain was lifted suddenly!

Caught off guard, everyone in the store froze.

The two young men maintained a posture of lifting, and the proprietress leaned against the counter, her fat face distorted, and she didn't notice a large amount of cigarette ash on her hands.

A figure stood in the backlight, with a heavy sword looming behind him.

"Eat, eat?" The proprietress said reluctantly.

"Eat." Ren Yi stepped over, sat where Lao Yu had been dragged away just now, and pointed to the leftovers on the table.

"What did they eat just now? Get me a copy too! ”
