There is a Wall Behind the Shadow

Throughout the day, Song Shiyue's work basically never stopped.Even if everyone couldn't see it, and when they pressed her to rest, Song Shiyue just changed from digging soil and smashing stones to the light work of tearing bark and wood, and she always seemed unable to rest for a moment.

The others were fine, at most they felt that Song Shiyue was working extraordinarily hard today.Only Yu Nianbing sensed something was wrong, combined with what Song Shiyue said the night before, if he had to go to the camp behind to get faucets and water pipes back... Yu Nianbing could easily imagine Song Shiyue's sense of urgency Where did it come from.

Reason and emotion are always difficult to have at the same time.Yu Nianbing, who has only had the former for a long time, during this period of time, he has personally experienced this sentence over and over again, and realized that he is too familiar with it.

Song Shiyue carried it over and over again, and built it piece by piece, as if tirelessly, gradually repairing the dilapidated house that seemed to be collapsing until it took shape.

And as Song Shiyue was busy going back and forth between the camps, her enthusiasm for building the camp was like a flowing and burning river of fire, rekindling the passion that everyone had just relaxed.

Song Shiyue took care of heavy work and technical work.Everyone tries to help, but as long as you try, you will be hit.Unless Song Shiyue voluntarily requested it, it would be more appropriate to say that it would be a hindrance rather than a helper.

The people around me came and went, and their faces changed one after another.

Song Shiyue, who was so excited about the job, didn't realize that other people were drawn to the idea of ​​eager to help.Until the person who came in was replaced by Yu Nianbing.

"Hey, no way." Song Shiyue didn't care if her hand was aligned with the angle, she was just about to press down on the stone hard, and threw the stone away, walked to the door in a few steps, and pressed down on Yu Nian. Bing tried to move the stone pile at the door to move his hand.

Yu Nianbing: "..."

"It's really heavy, so I'll do it." Song Shiyue pressed one hand on the big rock she dug out to seal the stove around the river, and gently pushed Yu Nianbing with the other. arm, leading the person to the side.

"I'll take it piece by piece slowly." Yu Nianbing pursed her lips and spoke out on behalf of the public, "We can't kill wild boars, we can't grind stones, we have to do what we can. Everything is on your shoulders...you don't take a breath all day, even if you can, I will..."

It was obvious that Yu Nianbing's words were usually fluent, but Yu Nianbing got stuck halfway through.

I also……

Me too?

Yu Nianbing lowered his eyebrows and did not speak again.

But Song Shiyue, who already knew what Nian Bing might have in mind, really had too many sentences that could be filled in after these two words.

"I want to help too"?

"I don't want to do nothing?"

still is……

"Even if you can, I can't bear it?"

Could it be... such a sentence?

The last sentence was obviously Song Shiyue's first thought of when Yu Nian Bing stopped talking, but reason made her think about a lot of other things, and pushed this cheeky thought to the end one by one.

However, such conscious suppression is not so easy to suppress.

Song Shiyue felt that she was really shameless. She took a hundred steps back, but she couldn't help but look forward, wondering if Yu Nianbing had taken another step.Obviously, everyone backing off is the result I should expect to see after making such a decision, but it still lies in the fact that when Nian Bing seems to stretch out a toe softly, I expect that foot to take this step completely. The ground landed 99 steps away from him.

Really shameless.

Obviously we can't be together.Do you want to watch the other person walk 99 steps, and then take another [-] steps back?Like an invisible scum.

The long silence between the two ended with Yu Nianbing turning around and leaving.

Song Shiyue raised her hand that was pressing on the stone.

Perhaps the things in his heart were too heavy, and the precise force he had been controlling all the time was completely messed up just now.

Song Shiyue quietly looked at the shallow palm print on the stone.

In the end, Yu Nianbing still didn't finish his sentence, the step he was about to take towards him, after all, he took a step back after pointing his toes.

Yeah.

Isn't this what I originally wanted to see.

why so...

After the inexplicable expectation, there is endless loneliness and self-blame for my own duplicity and unsteady will.

The palm print was lightly printed on the stone, but it seemed to hit Song Shiyue's own face heavily.

It wasn't until the large stones were ground and the bottom of the stove was reinforced again that Song Shiyue finally broke free from the "little matter" just now.

Recalling what Yu Nianbing said, there is actually some truth to it.

Although Song Shiyue felt that she could complete these things by herself, at most Feng Qianqian needed to discuss with Feng Qianqian before starting the construction.But this camp belongs to everyone.

Mowing, digging.

Song Shiyue wanted to wait for the chimney here to be finished before doing these two things by himself.

But at this moment, it was distributed to others.

It's just autumn, and the grass is just beginning to turn a little yellow.It's just that the newly built houses can't wait for them to turn yellow and dry naturally.

The fresh grass is cut, turned in the sun for a few days, dried into hay, mixed into the excavated soil, mixed with a little water, and turned into wet mud.Pasted on the wall, it can be used as an adhesive and a layer of insulation.Now there is no cement and no wall paint, but we can only use such substitutes first.

Experience is always accumulated in constant experiments and failures. It is the first time for everyone to build a real house.Fortunately, Song Shiyue built the house at a top-notch speed. Even if some problems were discovered later, it would only take a day or two at most to rebuild it.

Feng Qianqian has only played with house models with material packages, so she can't provide any theoretical support for Song Shiyue's idea.On the contrary, Zhuang Jiachuan slapped his knees. Lian Dao himself seemed to have seen muddy old houses in other agricultural satellites, so he could give it a try.

Just give it a try, they are not short of food and strength now.

Mowing grass and digging mud, obviously hard work, made everyone happy all of a sudden.

Song Shiyue couldn't help but look at Yu Nianbing.

I don't know if there is really any strange telepathy between people who like each other.

When Song Shiyue looked over, there was also a look back over there.

The moment they saw each other looking at her, Song Shiyue almost used the courage and determination she had when facing ferocious mutant beasts in the last days, so she didn't immediately obey her guilty conscience and look away.

Song Shiyue did a good job, and there is no need to do better.

Because Yu Nianbing turned his eyes away.

Song Shiyue: "..."

Just now Song Shiyue was worried that if she stopped looking at it all of a sudden, it would make more strange tastes in her plain glance, so she stood up and insisted.And because she was very persistent and focused, Song Shiyue saw Yu Nianbing's guilty conscience this time.

It's fine if you have a guilty conscience, but why is the other party guilty?I was discovered by myself... that love?

So... so it was a love that I didn't want to be discovered by myself?

The new discovery made Song Shiyue a little absent-minded about the next project.

There are reasons why you like someone but don't want to be discovered by the other person... What are the reasons?

Feel that the other party will not like you.

I don't think there is a future for the two of them.

Think this is a bug waiting to be fixed.

……

There are many reasons that Song Shiyue can think of.

Song Shiyue reminisces about Nian Bing's closeness, distance, nearness, indistinctness... The distance between the two is constantly changing, and the embarrassment or estrangement that once seemed to be nothing seems to be the reason for her alone. .

When Song Shiyue had the rare courage to look at Yu Nianbing without moving her eyes, she finally discovered a possibility.

Regardless of whether Yu Nianbing likes her or not, she seems...not ready to be with her...

Wow……

When the goals of the two are the same, it seems that the problem is no longer a problem.

However, Song Shiyue wasn't happy at all, and was even a little sulky.

Obviously she was the one who backed away first, but when she found out that the other party hadn't planned to move forward, Song Shiyue couldn't control her unhappiness at all.

It's really scum, it's really shameless, Song Shiyue scolded herself while being unhappy.

Because he was busy uncovering a corner of the truth, Song Shiyue's work efficiency plummeted.Just on the choice of chimney material, she hesitated for a long time... It was not until the sky outside began to darken that Song Shiyue silently read the construction plan for the past few days, braced herself, and made a choice.

Stone chimneys are strong and durable, but wood chimneys are thinner.

Song Shiyue circled around the stove, looking up from time to time to see how high the chimney needed to reach the roof, and finally chose to use wood.

The collapsed stone wall between the two houses and the collapsed chimney gave Song Shiyue a lot of scruples.

Judging from the position of those brick materials, the collapsed stone wall fell over, but it should be partially blocked by the hearth.But the chimney that collapsed was not so polite, and it was directly pressed against the stove and the vicinity of the stove.

This is... not so friendly to those who burn fire under the stove.

Song Shiyue, who came here after chasing wild boars and lived in tents for many days without seeing any traces of human construction, was very pleasantly surprised.It's just that such a surprise gradually settled down to reality after moving here.

Although there was only one aftershock after the obsidian storm, under normal circumstances, this time is definitely...not enough.

Originally, Song Shiyue thought that the aftershocks were not a problem.After all, she has good hearing, and she can more or less feel the changes before the aftershocks.It doesn't need to be too long in advance, just enough for them to get out of the house and stand in a safe place.

But... In order to spend the coming winter safely, Song Shiyue had to leave for a while.

So during this period of time, the things here need to be safe, and even safer.

Therefore, when Song Shiyue made tiles, he chose wooden tiles with weak thermal insulation effect but lighter weight.The squatting pit in the toilet is not hollowed out, but a slope that is not deep is made of stone pipes. Even the position of the squatting pit is calculated, and a whole piece of big stone is used in the inner layer of the stone wall and inserted into the foundation. Made a safety triangle.

These are things that Song Shiyue hardly needs to think about in the last days.Now she can only rely on the meager knowledge in the memory of the original body before the end of the world, and the ideas after complementing everyone's rookie, to try to be safer.

Although the wooden chimney has a short service life, the entire thin plank should be a little...safer than a stone block, right?

You don't need to hold on for a long time, you will come back later, go out for a short time, and just change the materials.

Song Shiyue thought so, and after making up her mind, she went out of the house and prepared to chop wood.

As soon as I went out, I was shocked by the green outside.

"Are you so fast?" Song Shiyue looked at the grass waiting to be dried on the ground, or the kind that had been tied into small bunches to prevent it from being blown away.

"Hahaha, more people are more powerful!" Zhuang Jiachuan, who was returning with another handful of grass, put down the things in his hand with a smile, touched the dog's head, and took a mouthful of grass from the dog's mouth, " The dogs helped too."

Ning Chuyang neatly tied a small handful of grass together with a blade of grass, and raised his face with a relaxed and wanton expression rarely seen these days: "Look, is this enough? Not enough, while the sun is still bright, we Go cut two more rounds."

"Enough. You are really fast." Song Shiyue nodded quickly, "There is enough mud to cover the bedrooms that will be built later, so there is no need to cut new ones."

"It's not fast. It's been more than two hours since I mowed, and that's all." Ning Chuyang reached out to take another bunch of grass, and then replied.

Song Shiyue was taken aback.

More than two hours?

Indeed... Thinking about it carefully, it really takes so long for them to mow so much grass little by little.

But for more than two hours... What have you been doing for these two hours?

Ning Chuyang's casual words were like thunder that belonged exclusively to Song Shiyue, blasting into her ears.

Song Shiyue subconsciously looked at Yu Nianbing who was squatting on the ground arranging a bunch of grass not far away, and never looked back at her from the beginning to the end.

"That's amazing." Song Shiyue responded to Ning Chuyang, and then slowly said: "I'm going to cut down some trees now. I'm going to make a wooden chimney, and just dig one out of a whole piece of wood."

"Ah?" Ning Chuyang was stunned.

"How high is that, can you take it back easily?" Feng Qianqian thought about the height of the room, feeling a little worried.

"Let's do it." Song Shiyue said, lowering her eyes, but her peripheral vision did not move away from Yu Nianbing's body that had not turned around.

After speaking, Song Shiyue walked away.

Song Shiyue took only two steps, but suddenly turned around.

Successfully captured...

The four eyes meet, whoever moves away first is embarrassed!
