Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the shadow of the West Mountain stretched long, and under the old elm tree outside Xinhuo Town, there stood three figures, six longing eyes, staring straight at the end of the road.

Finally, a tall figure appeared, and he dragged an iron-wheeled cart step by step, which was piled with rusty and broken copper and iron, and as soon as he walked, there was a clanging sound.

Lee's beautiful cheers rang out under the tree.

"Ha, Lao Bu is back!"

The eleven-year-old Terran girl Li Meili, with two thin legs like bamboo poles, her hair like withered grass flew up, she grinned with her big mouth without straight teeth, laughed happily, and ran up with her arms open.

Ten-year-old Li Facai smiled like a fool, drooling, pulling two big broken shoes, and chased after him.

Behind them, nineteen-year-old Li Wen couldn't help but sigh.

As a traverser, Li Wen's luck is not ordinarily bad, he woke up and found that he had actually crossed into a desert desert, struggling for two days and one night, and almost lost his breath, when he finally crossed the aura and met Lao Bu, who was scavenging.

Lao Bu is not a human, he should have been an ape warrior before.

The old cloth, which is more than two meters tall, is as majestic as a mountain, and under the tattered leather robe, there is thick black hair. His standard ape face, huge and dark, hideous and terrifying, and his two burnt yellow eyes were even more ferocious, which frightened Li Wen's crotch with a light rain.

The apes, an intelligent species from another world, have evolved with humans to the present day, and have most of the characteristics of humans, such as their brains are equally developed, their language and behavior are the same as those of humans, they walk upright, their lower limbs are thick and developed, and the bridge of their noses is much higher than that of orangutans, and they are better at fighting.

The ape clan Lao Bu didn't bite it, but looked and sniffed worriedly, then stretched out his long arm, threw him like a rotten vegetable leaf, threw him on the iron wheel, and pulled him back to Xinhuo Town together.

Xinhuo Town is located on the banks of the Mulan River, and the primitive and rough houses are clustered together, looking messy, dirty, and stinking!

A small town of several hundred households, inhabited by half of the human race, and nearly half of the ape race, plus some people and apes mixed blood.

Looking at those black-haired, tall apes, and half-human species, walking among humans, there is no sense of disobedience.

The townspeople were clearly in the most primitive era of farming and hunting. Some of them had apparently returned from hunting, carrying prey and hunting equipment on their shoulders, and walked bloody and fierce.

There are also those who carry nets, and there are those who pull ploughing oxen and carry clumsy farm tools, and go back to their homes in the sunset.

When passing by with the old cloth, some will say hello, and more will snort, or ignore it, and their faces are full of disgust and disdain.

Li Wen on the iron wheeled car pinched his arms purple, only to understand that this was not a nightmare, this was the most ordinary day in this new fire town in another world.

"Mother, where did I go...... he could only lament.

Lao Bu's home is equivalent to a scrap collection point in the deep alleys of China, and in front of the crooked earthen house, the garbage that can no longer be sold is piled up like a hill.

In front of this pile of garbage, there stood a Terran girl, Li Meili who was like a hemp pole, Li Facai, a Terran boy with a silly appearance, and a hostess who was less than thirty years old, a half-ape and half-human half-human, a woman named Li Shu.

Another member of the family is a thirteen-year-old pure-blooded ape, Li Huanhuan.

Almost all of the apes are Western-style names, but Li Huanhuan's name was given by Li Shu, who gave the three children the name of beauty, fortune and joy in good wishes.

The people and apes in the yard were all scavenged by the old cloth, all of them were black and thin, and they were so hungry that they looked like skin and bones.

It's poignant to look at.

Li Wen's arrival made Li Shu sad and happy, sad that the family, who was already not full, added another mouth, happy that Li Wen was clean and clean, full of anger, although the pants were very wet and riotous, but very likable.

The three children are different, they made a big fuss, excitedly trying to get rid of Li Wen, especially Li Meili, and they can't wait to bite Li Wen to pieces!

Lao Bu was a mute, and at this time he showed the majesty of his master, severely suppressed the three children, and solemnly said to the three of them: "No!"

Later, Li Wen found out that he could only pronounce this one sound.

I don't know if it's the aura of crossing, Li Wen can fully understand the language of this world, and can say it casually, just like seeing apes living with humans, such a terrifying thing is adapted to in a blink of an eye.

Li Wen finally stayed, and he ate some food, drank some water, and lay down in a drowsy state.

The three children immediately pounced on him, rummaged through the things on his body, and turned out all the pockets, cigarettes, lighters, chewing gum, these little things could never be found again, but fortunately, the mobile phone was too exquisite, and it was snatched by Li Shu and kept it for Li Wen.

Li Meili took a fancy to Li Wen's jeans at a glance, and tried her best to take them off, but she couldn't get Li Wen's trouser belt, and couldn't find where the circlip was.

Li Wen slept groggily for a day and a night, and after getting up, he was pulled by Li Meili to the tree at the head of the town, waiting for Lao Bu to return from scavenging.

At this moment, he stood under the tree, watching Li Meimei's green muscles burst out, desperately helping the old man to carry the iron wheeled cart, while the fool Li Facai was pretending to be lazy in the back. He finally came to terms with the terrible reality.

Lao Bu's iron-wheeled cart was very heavy, leaving two deep ruts behind the three people.

The wasteland is full of iron swords, spearheads, tattered iron armor, shields, etc., left behind during the First Glorious War.

In the past, there were no less than a dozen households in Xinhuo Town that relied on scavenging for a living, and now they have all left.

The reason is that everything on the surface has been picked up. And what is buried under the sand and dust can only be found and dug up by Lao Bu, a natural scavenger.

However, the harvest is getting smaller and smaller day by day, and Lao Bu stays in the wasteland longer and longer.

The iron wheel stopped in front of Li Wen, and Lao Bu looked at him with a smile, still looking hideous and terrifying.

But Li Wen was very moved.

This big ape man, standing there and shaking, perennial hunger, made him as thin as the dying old elm tree beside him, under the black body hair, the blood vessels bulged like earthworms, as if every step was consuming his life.

A large family, with four big mouths, are waiting for this giant man to feed. What kind of kindness made this big man, who had already driven himself into a desperate situation, once again stretched out his hands to himself, and brought back another big mouth without hesitation.

The family has long been cut off, and they have to sell these waste products before they can get food. And in the town, these broken copper and iron were also purchased, and in addition to the mayor, only the rock blacksmith at the east gate was left.

The mayor can't go to the town's house, and Lao Bu hasn't paid the tax this year.

The iron wheeler stopped at a low wall.

The Terran blacksmith is amazingly black, looks black, and has a blacker heart.

He picks and chooses, throws it back to the car if he is not satisfied, and Li Meili will secretly take it back, trying to make the scrap pile look big enough, because it is not enough, just look at the pile.

Then, the rock blacksmith began to evaluate with Li Meimei.

"Less than yesterday, thirty coppers. ”

"Uncle Yan, give me a few more, look at this heavy sword, it looks like a good thing, and this one, I don't know how many people have been killed......"

Li Meili is very skillful in finding the most valuable scrap iron.

"Without this broken sword, I will only give twenty coppers. ”

"My kind-hearted Uncle Yan, you see, Lao Bu has a bad brain, and he picked up a big rice bucket, the family can't eat enough, Li Wen has to eat three people's food in one meal!" Li Meili tears rolled in her eyes and began to play the mercy card.

But obviously this trick has been used a little too many times, Lao Yan was unmoved, he said impatiently. "Then drive him away, thirty, no more!" Lao Yan looked at Li Wen like he was looking at a pile of.

"Uncle Yan, you are a kind and good person, the best person in the town, you can give us thirty-five, and yesterday there were forty......"

"You scolded me behind my back for being a stinky shit bastard, cursing me for not dying well, I already know!"

"Ah...... Uncle Yan, I swear to the sky, it's all made up by the old Hu family, Uncle Yan, we just need to eat half full, thirty-five coppers, not forty, hehe......" Li Meili desperately tried her best to make her smile sweet enough and touching enough, but unfortunately she was dark and thin, and she was really unattractive.

"Thirty-two, count it yourself, if you don't sell it, get out, this pile of rags, see if anyone else wants it. ”

In the end, Li Meili held the thirty-two coppers tightly and accompanied the smiling face all the way out of the yard.

Walking around the corner and confirming that there was no one around, Li Meili glanced at Li Facai.

"Stinky pig!"

"Bastard!"

"his eight-generation ancestor!"

......

Vicious cursing swelled out of the mouths of the two children.

On the way back, I passed by a tavern, and the smell of wine wafted out, and Lao Bu couldn't walk anymore.

Li Meili was desperately dragging in front, and Li Facai was holding his thighs to the top, but he couldn't pull anything.

Li Meili had no choice but to hold the thirty-two coppers, with red eyes, and walked into the tavern.

Ten coppers for thick wine and a small pot, and five coppers for light wine.

The two children bought half a pot of thick wine under Lao Bu's nose, and then poured a large pot of cold water into it, turning it into a pot of semi-light wine, which was already too faint to say, and when they got home, they were mixed into three large pots, and only then did one of the pots be sent to Lao Bu's face.

Lao Bu's eyes never left the wine jug, and at this time, he took it and drank it dry in one go, and then stared at Li Shu with a blank eye.

Li Shu glared at Li Meili fiercely, Li Meili had to take out another pot, Lao Bu drank it all in one go, and then went to sleep satisfied.

Time to eat.

The rest of the copper was replaced with a handful of black wheat flour, leaving the porridge to boil tomorrow morning, and the rest was poured into a large pot of boiling water, and then all kinds of wild vegetables were added, and a small pinch of salt became a pot of vegetable paste.

Li Shu gave Li Wen a big wooden bowl, filled a large bowl, handed it to him, stretched out his big hairy hand, and stroked it dotingly on his head.

"Eat more!" Her smile was gentle and warm.

Li Wen was about to fall into tears when he looked at the bowl of mixed smelling vegetables.

"Mother, how can you swallow this. ”

I barely ate a bite and almost threw up.

Thinking about the fact that I most likely ate this kind of thing last night, I felt my stomach churning.

But a few children have turned into hungry wolves, and after a moment of stunned work, a large pot of vegetables is mushy and disappears in front of their eyes.

Especially the pure ape Li Joy.

He was only fifteen years old, and he was almost covered with an old cloth, and his skeleton was unusually thick, and a whole animal skin was draped over his body, as if it were hanging on a big tree, and of course he was as thin as a tree.

A huge bowl of mush, with a bang, was poured in.

Li Wen couldn't help but sigh.

crossed by himself, it was so miserable, what about the aura, welfare, ability, no fart, only this bowl of vegetables in his hand.

What made him even more unbearable was the tragic situation of the family in front of him, and the situation of the family was simply not a tragic word to describe.

The poorer he is, the kinder he is, he can't eat enough, and he takes himself in.

Li Huanhuan made a few big bowls, and poured half of Li's mother's bowl into the giant mouth, and then stopped.

The eyes of the three children fell on Li Wen's hands at the same time.

In that hand, there was a big bowl, very thick and tempting vegetable paste.

There is only one meal a day, and in the morning they eat black porridge like clear water, and the eyes of the three children are green.

Li Meimei's thin legs like hemp rods propped up a bulging belly, Li Facai drooled, and Li Huanhuan stared at the big bowl.

Li Wen sighed and handed the porridge bowl out, but in the end, no one answered.

Although the three children were half-full, they would never take Li Wen's porridge bowl, in Li Meimei's words, we will be a family in the future, and that is your porridge.

Family......
