doomed [last days]

With the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, in June, the soybean seedlings in the vegetable bed have begun to rise, and the first leaves have already been fully unearthed. It is estimated that the pods will grow out after a while.The tomatoes that had been raised before were also transplanted into the newly cultivated vegetable bed next to the chicken coop on the east wall.

When they went to catch the chickens, Lin Shen and An Lu didn't retrieve the fertilizer. They originally thought to use some fallen leaves and rotten fruits to rot into chemical fertilizers. However, it takes a long time to rot and mature, which may delay the matter.So the two had to go down the mountain again, and came back with some fertilizers and pesticides.

Today is sunny and sunny, just in time to top-dress the corn seedlings that have already grown seven or eight leaves.

The matter of top dressing was handed over to An Lu, while Lin Shen and Shi Yiran went to the mountains together.

The apricot tree that was discovered before was already covered with orange apricots. The two of them picked off the apricots that grew at the bottom first, and Lin Shen found a longer and thicker branch to reach the apricots that were higher up.The apricots are ripe enough that they don't need to be pushed too hard, just a light touch and they fall off.The two of them worked for a while under the apricot tree and picked half a basket of apricots.

"There are still some unripe ones on it." Lin Shen carried the small wooden basket on his back and said with a smile, "Let's take a look at it later."

Shi Yiran nodded, she raised her hand and used her cuff to help Lin Shen wipe off the dust on Lin Shen's face from nowhere, and said, "Then let's go to the small pond now?"

She looked at the little knot that had been tied up behind Lin Shen's head, and the joy in her eyes became more and more intense.Having lived in the mountains for more than a month and nearly two months, this person seems to be slowly melting into the mountains.Lin Shen, who often goes wild outside, is as simple as a mountain dweller with his sleeves rolled up.But now they are indeed mountain people.

Hearing Shi Yiran's words, Lin Shen responded, took her hand and walked forward.

The small pond Shi Yiran mentioned was discovered later.At the beginning, Lin Shen walked downstream along the mountain stream and found nothing, but later she had the attitude of giving it a try, and she did not expect to find this small pond upstream.

The pools in the mountains are often clear without fish.But this small pond is different. There is no dense forest to cover it, and the sunlight shines directly on the water, making the water in the pond appear green.The water in the pool was not clear, and they couldn't see the bottom, and they couldn't see if there were any fish in it, but then they tried it, and the result made everyone ecstatic.

Lin Shen took Shi Yiran's hand and walked carefully on the mountain road.When she reached the edge of the small pond, she took off the small wooden basket she was carrying and squatted by the pond.She picked up a stone and looked carefully. There was a thin rope twisted from a strip of cloth under the stone.A small wooden stick was also tied to one end of the string, which was inserted in the crack of the stone next to it.

After removing the stone, Lin Shen pulled out the small wooden stick, shouted at Shi Yiran, "The time to witness the miracle is coming", and then lay down on the edge of the pond, rolled up his sleeves, and stretched out his hand into the water. Li explore.She groped down along the strips of cloth, and finally came out with an iron basin.

This is not the first time Shi Yiran has come to this small pond with her, and she has to say this every time.Shi Yiran smiled secretly, but still quietly stood aside, watching Lin Shen's movements.

The plastic bag was stuck on the edge of the basin and was fixed to the iron basin by a string. After Lin Shen removed the plastic bag, he looked at the four small and medium carp inside, and the smile on his face grew wider and wider.

"This is the first time I've caught so many fish." The fish was only a stick long, but Lin Shen was overjoyed. She fished out the stones in the basin and threw them under her feet. Kong's plastic bag covered the iron basin, and then continued: "Then let's go back now?"

The journey back is a little faster, maybe we can have a fish soup at noon.

Shi Yiran naturally agreed, she carried the small wooden basket put down by Lin Shen on her back, and Lin Shen was holding the iron basin, and the two walked to the forest ranger station together.

After returning to the forest ranger station, An Lu, who had already fattened the cornfield, leaned against the iron basin, looked at the fish inside, and said, "I've eaten all the noodles in it!"

She came up with the method of catching fish in an iron basin. When she was young, Anlu and her friends liked to find a glass bottle, seal the opening, leave only a small hole, and put some fish food in the glass bottle. , Throwing it into the small pond in the village, within two hours, the glass bottle was full of small fry that rushed in to eat fish food.

Unexpectedly, the previous local method is still so easy to use.

But Lin Shen walked to the edge of the chicken coop, looked at the fluffy chicks inside, and grinningly called: "Oh, my dear babies, why don't you grow up yet, grow up and lay eggs soon."

A nest of chicks huddled close to the old hen, staring at her with round eyes, as if they were looking at a big monster.

Lin Shen didn't realize it, but only took a look, and covered the roof of the chicken coop.When she turned around, she saw the big cock standing not far away, staring at her.

When the big rooster was released for the first time, it tried to fly off the wall.Now, it may be that they have tasted the sweetness of being fed every day, or because they have the fetters of a family, they are honest every day, and the crowing at regular intervals disturbs a few people.

While she was busy looking at the chick cubs, Shi Yiran was already sharpening her sword at Xiaoyu.This time I caught four fish, stewed two at noon, and kept the other two for raising. When they grow fatter, they will have more meat.

Shi Yiran chose two fish, knocked them out, scraped their scales, and disemboweled them all in one go, completely different from her who killed fish for the first time.Normally, her white hands were stained with fish blood, but Shi Yiran didn't stop her movements. She didn't wash her hands until she finished handling the two small fish and washed them with clean water.

After the processed fish was cut in half, it was cut into small pieces. Shi Yiran put some salt and light soy sauce in it. While marinating the fish, she picked up a small handful of shallots. Set aside to add while the fish is simmering.They don't have many materials, but the necessary steps cannot be omitted.After the fish pieces are marinated, they are fried on both sides first, and then water is added to start stewing the fish.There are only some shallots and salt in the water, but after a while, the taste comes out.

Each person has a bowl of steamed rice, eats fish meat, and dried mountain carrots that are soaked in the soup, and finally a bowl of fish soup. After this meal, there is nothing left. All exposed.

The two people who did not participate in the cooking washed the pots and dishes, and the sun was in full swing.In June, no one is willing to sit in the yard and bask in the sun in a daze.After tidying up, they went back to each room, took a nap, and chatted with each other.

It was getting hot, but Lin Shen didn't seem to be afraid of the heat, and lay on the bed with Shi Yiran.

As soon as people are free, they like to think wildly. Lin Shen leaned on one arm, looked at the roof, and said, "Yi Ran, tell me, if we had chosen to go to the base city, what would happen now?"

Should we live a life of careful planning and hard work like now, or should we integrate into a closed society and obey orders to make a living?

She thought a little far, but she didn't expect Shi Yiran to reply: "If I go to the base city, I'm afraid you won't recognize me until my eyesight recovers."

The tone of voice was a bit resentful, and Lin Shen's heart skipped a beat. She would suffer if old accounts were brought up suddenly.However, Shi Yiran just mentioned it, and suddenly changed the subject: "Before, when I met Jiang Zhaochen, you said that Zhao Changxi and the others had..."

"...Well." Lin Shen's voice also dropped, and she told Shi Yiran what she saw in the small hotel in the service area, and then added: "I'm just guessing, it may be their bag was robbed..."

As she talked, she also lost her confidence. Even if Jiang Zhaochen and the others didn't kill them, just because of Zhao Changxi and Ran Yue's personalities, they wouldn't be able to survive in such a world.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.

For Shi Yiran, Zhao Changxi and Ran Yue were not strangers she met in the last days, they were her colleagues. Although they didn't have a deep relationship, they were not bad to the core, they were just stupid.Hearing such news, my heart is more or less uncomfortable.

"Well, I'm actually a little curious." Lin Shen racked her brains to divert Shi Yiran's attention. She organized her words and said, "To put it bluntly, that Zhao Changxi is really stupid...I'm very Curious, why did Ran Yue keep following her?"

If it's because I don't have my own opinion, it's too...

Shi Yiran was silent for a while, she also heard the gossip, and her voice was a little unnatural when she said it: "When I was in the hospital, I heard from a colleague that after Zhao Changxi and Ran Yue dated, Zhao Changxi's father saved Ran Yue's family Her father was the vice president of the Provincial Hospital. Later, after Zhao Changxi graduated, her father wanted to put her in the Provincial Hospital, but because Ran Yue was from Wancheng, the last two people came to our hospital..."

As for which family members were saved, how they were saved, and what method was used to get Zhao Changxi's father to agree to arrange the two of them into Wancheng Municipal Hospital, outsiders like them had no way of knowing.

Falling in love with someone is like falling in love with a voodoo, you can't explain the reason, you can't explain the reason, you just love so desperately.In their eyes, even though Zhao Changxi is useless, in Ran Yue's view, it may be that she has identified her lifelong lover and persisted until she lost herself and her judgment.

However, only Ran Yue knows whether this is the case, whether there is something unspeakable, or why he has to insist.

Lin Shen sighed, the topic of chatting was a bit heavy, she regretted it a bit, but now she couldn't take back the words, she just stretched out her hand and hugged him into her arms, and said, "Forget it, it's all my own fate."

Fortunately, they are still together.
