doomed [last days]

Lin Shen took the steering wheel and drove steadily.Glancing to the right from the corner of her eye, she saw Shi Yiran tilting her head and closing her eyes, taking off her sunglasses and holding them in her hands.

After they left from Ah Guang's place, Shi Yiran seemed to be in a low mood. Not long after the car started, she took off her sunglasses and closed her eyes. She should have fallen asleep by now.

Lin Shen seemed to know the reason for Shi Yiran's behavior in his heart, but he didn't know how many times he thought about it, and the words came to his lips, but he still didn't say it.

Before, in the repair workshop, she told Ah Guang about the powerful people, and also said that the government was going to build a base city in Pu'an.

But Ah Guang said that he wanted to stay with his girlfriend there all the time.He planned to open a field behind the repair workshop by himself, and then went to Wancheng to find if there were any crop seeds.

It's spring, and he wants to live with the memory of his girlfriend.

When they were leaving, Ah Guang unlocked the gas pump, filled up their off-road vehicles with gas, and filled two barrels of gas for them to use on the road.

When driving away from the repair station, Lin Shen looked at A Guang's figure in the rearview mirror and the rolling shutter door slowly falling, feeling a little heavy.

There are always people who will let go of something else for their own persistence.

She turned her head to look at Shi Yiran, stretched out her right hand, and held Shi Yiran's hand on her lap in the palm of her hand.

----

They set off from Wancheng after having lunch, and stayed at Aguang's place for almost an hour in the afternoon. Now, they had to find a place to stay at least before dark.

It's not that there are no small houses on the side of the road, but each of them is too obvious and abrupt. If there is another car parked next to it, it may become the target of some malicious people passing by.

Thinking of this, when Lin Shen saw a small road beside the road, he drove into it.

The small roads in the countryside are not smooth, and some places are crushed, and the soil below is piled up. Even if you slow down a little, the off-road vehicle will be a little bit bumpy.

Shi Yiran opened her eyes in the turbulence, looked at the already sinking sky outside, and was a little unresponsive for a while.

Lin Shen kept paying attention to her, and when she saw her eyes open, he asked, "Are you awake?"

"Hmm..." Shi Yiran made a nasal voice, she raised her hand and rubbed her neck, it was sore for too long, "Where is this?"

"It's almost Jianyuan City, I plan to find a slightly secluded place to spend the night."

Jianyuan is a relatively small county in the north of Wancheng. Like Wancheng, there is nothing to promote to the outside world, so they simply piled up a mountain by themselves.

It’s just that compared with Wancheng’s earthen mountain, Jianyuan’s earthen mountain is like a wok upside down on the ground, with no flaws in the arc, and the small pavilion on the top of the mountain has also become the handle of the pot lid, which is perfect and funny .

And Lin Shen's destination is this dirt mountain.

Generally speaking, this kind of image project is just to increase the attractiveness of the area to attract outsiders, and at the same time provide a place for local residents to entertain.

If Lin Shen is not mistaken, there should be a park under this dirt hill.

Where there is a park, there is the Park Service, and that is her destination.

It was getting dark gradually, and the sunless day was replaced by a cloud-covered night. The dark shadows of the approaching earth mountains became bigger and bigger, and slowly merged with the night.

Before it was completely dark, Lin Shen drove to the small park at the foot of the mountain.

She didn't have driving lights, but she could still see the row of bungalows at the entrance of the park.

Lin Shen parked the off-road vehicle next to the bungalow, and after turning off the engine, he sat in the car without moving.

Shi Yiran, who was more sensitive to sound due to blindness before, listened carefully for a long time before turning her head in Lin Shen's direction and shaking her head.

nobody.

Lin Shen didn't hear the sound either.

After Lin Shen supported Shi Yiran and got out of the car, she held the car remote and pressed the button to lock the car.The car lights flickered, and there was a mechanical sound mixed in, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silence.

Without picking and choosing, Lin Shen held the knife in one hand and helped Shi Yiran into the nearest room.

The door was unlocked. She turned on the flashlight and took a look. It should be the park ranger's rest room. The quilts on the bed were piled up in a ball, messy.

The room is not big, Shi Yiran stood in the middle of the room, waiting for Lin Shen to pull aside the old quilt on the bed, she looked at the blurred silver light of the flashlight, and took a step forward.

As a result, he kicked something under his feet.

Then came the crisp sound of glass bottles rolling.

"It's a wine bottle." Lin Shen turned around with a flashlight, and the flashlight shone on the ground, and she said, "It should be thrown here after the previous people drank."

"Wine bottle..." Shi Yiran thought thoughtfully, and suddenly raised her eyebrows, "When you go to sleep at night, put the wine bottle behind the door."

The door of the room opened inwards. If someone wanted to come in in the middle of the night, they would definitely bring the wine bottle behind the door. When they heard the sound, they would definitely be able to wake up immediately.

After she finished speaking, Lin Shen immediately understood her intentions, responded, and went to help her to the side.

Just before turning around to go out and bring in the quilt, Lin Shen tilted his head and pecked Shi Yiran on the cheek.

Unlike before departure, Lin Shen kissed uncontrollably because of excitement. At that time, apart from being happy and excited, it was as if she had blown her own heart into a balloon, swollen and hot.

This time, when it was pasted on her tender skin, she still wanted to sigh in satisfaction.

Opening the distance between the two, she lowered her voice and said, "I went out to get some things and came in. When I came back, I put the wine bottle behind the door."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shi Yiran's reaction, she walked out directly.

When Lin Shen took all the things they needed from the car, Shi Yiran was still standing there, her posture unchanged.

After living for 30 years, they are both in love for the first time. Both of them are like rookies, reserved and shy, but still curious.

Lin Shen thought she was shy, and licked her lips shyly.She didn't say anything, she just went out to confirm that she had locked the car tightly, and after returning to the house, she stood the wine bottle behind the door as Shi Yiran said.

A sheet was directly spread on the hard bed, Lin Shen put her backpack on the bedside, and then walked over, trying to help Shi Yiran to sit down.

"The bed is made," Lin Shen realized that her voice was a little hoarse as soon as she spoke, and she swallowed unnaturally, before continuing, "I'll help you there."

Shi Yiran gave a slight "hmm".

Her eyesight had just begun to recover, and she couldn't keep looking at the bright light. After Lin Shen cleaned up the house, she turned off the flashlight.

Helping the person to avoid the table and sitting by the bed, Lin Shen took out two cans of eight-treasure porridge from his backpack, and regarded it as today's dinner.

"Would you like to heat up the eight-treasure porridge?" Lin Shen asked, "I just don't know if there is still electricity here, and we should build a generator in the future..."

Just like at Aguang's place, build a diesel generator.

When they came out, they even brought the kettle with them, but if there is no electricity, it is useless.

Shi Yiran shook her head: "It's too troublesome, just drink it."

It's getting hotter and hotter, so it's okay to drink something cold.

After drinking porridge and gargling, it's time to rest.

They are now the same as the ancients, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.Very regular, very healthy, but very forced.

The bed board is very hard, but how can you pay so much attention when you are away from home.

Lin Shen let Shi Yiran sleep on the inside, and sat on the outside by himself, looking at the map with a small flashlight.

"Tomorrow, let's go to Jianyuan County to see if we can find mineral water. Then we will go all the way north..." Lin Shen looked at the map with squinted eyes, and suddenly saw a familiar place name, her eyes lit up: " Let's go to Hongchi, I've been there before, I think you'll like it!"

Hongchi is at the junction of the Liaoxi Grassland and the Liaodong Plateau. The urban area is built at the foot of the Liaokang Mountains, close to the mountains and the grassland.It's just that it will be a little colder in winter, but they are all from the north, so it won't be too difficult to adapt.

"At that time, we can find a stream in the mountains and build a small house next to it. If we don't have supplies, we can go to the city to find..."

Although they are still thousands of miles away from Hongchi, their imagination will not be limited by the distance, Lin Shen smiled and narrowed his eyes as he thought about it.

In the end, Shi Yiran, who was already lying down, just replied flatly: "Well, then let's go to Hongchi."

Lin Shen was taken aback for a moment, thinking that she was tired and didn't want to talk more.She turned off the flashlight, folded the map and stuffed it into the pocket of the backpack, and then lay down too.

There was no pillow, so Lin Shen took two packs of tissues and put them under his head, then took Shi Yiran into his arms and let her pillow him, which would make her feel more comfortable.

"Be tired, don't think about anything, have a good sleep." She tilted her head and said softly.

She knew that Shi Yiran's mood was not high today, so she didn't say anything more.

As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, a hand came up and touched her cheek along her chin.

"……Content?"

It's not that she hasn't been touched before, Shi Yiran would want to touch her face when she couldn't see it, but this time...

The place touched by her was a little itchy, Lin Shen half opened his mouth, and just about to say something, Shi Yiran posted it.

A little cold, like the first snow falling on the palm of the hand in winter, slowly melting in the palm.After taking away the heat of the palm, it brought the blood circulation to heat up.

Lin Shen stared blankly at Shi Yiran backing away from his slightly cool lips, his face flushed red.

Shi Yiran calmed down her heartbeat like a beating drum, and the hot skin on her face pressed against Lin Shen's shoulder through a thin T-shirt.With her eyes closed, her slender hands had already moved down from Lin Shen's cheeks, and placed them neatly around her waist.

Of course she could hear Lin Shen's heartbeat, but the belated shyness overwhelmed the courage she had accumulated for a long time. ..."

The sound was like a mosquito, and I couldn't continue talking until the end.

Unexpectedly, the person leaning on her turned sideways, holding her cheek with fiery palms, Lin Shen murmured and pressed her down.

"Too."
