After crossing the big river, there seemed to be no threat ahead for the time being. They bypassed the hill in front of them, and in front of them was a grassland with desolate green grass. The grassland had no end in sight.

Song Ruanmeng looked at the map, then looked at Feng Xiu and Xu: "Are you sure you didn't lead the wrong way?"

Xu looked at the sky and said, "Should not be, my feeling is not wrong, and there is no problem with this direction."

Feng Xiu also nodded: "According to the marking on the map, it should be here after calculation, but this is a national map, and there is a large grassland here, and it will not be marked on it."

Zhang Yourong: "Then let's continue walking down to have a look." She pointed to the scattered cattle and sheep in front of her and said, "There are cattle and sheep here, and there should be people living here."

Song Ruanmeng nodded, and was about to say something, when the fat man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he ran forward to a piece of taller grass, pushed aside the grass, and revealed a small maroon horse that was not as tall as their waist. Malay.

"Can we go on horseback, which saves effort and speeds up!"

Song Ruanmeng rubbed his stomach, well, he is not hungry yet.

She held back her tongue, but Natural Hei Fengxiu didn't. He looked at his figure worriedly: "I think... we'd better walk. You alone don't know how much a full-grown horse can carry you. The camel moves."

The fat man stroked the pony and turned his head, his face paralyzed: "We can still be friends if we talk well."

"Pfft!" Now, everyone really laughed.

The atmosphere suddenly improved a lot. The vast and boundless prairie released everyone's suppressed mood before. The fat man was not afraid of touching his pony's head at all. The pony rubbed against his soft palm with wide eyes. .

The fat man was very happy, and he picked up his bag again and walked forward: "Let's go, we will be the first to reach the trial site!" As he spoke, he couldn't help making his dolphin sound again, listening Then, Zhang Yourong couldn't help but followed his tune with a section of beatbox, Lin Mu couldn't dance with things, so he improvised a section of rap.

Listening to this kind of music, looking at the blue sky and green grassland, I feel unexpectedly comfortable.

After walking for more than an hour, they saw several white prairie tents not far from each other in front of them. In front of each tent, several horses were breathing down their heads. He turned his head and stared at them curiously.

A dark-faced man with pigtails came out of a tent. He was not surprised when he saw someone coming. He said with a friendly smile in broken common language: "Children from afar, welcome to Bone scraped the prairie."

Maybe it was because he smiled too kindly, the fat man walking in the front almost responded, but fortunately, he reacted immediately, smiled at him, pointed at the throats of himself and his teammates, waved his hands, and made a gesture. A speechless gesture.

However, the man misunderstood them, and looked at them in shock, as if he thought he had encountered a group of dumb people.

He travels back and forth to his elder brother's grassland all year round. His usual entertainment time is riding a horse on the grassland, or sleeping on a bench and staring at the sky in a daze. Forget it, after all, with so many cattle and sheep, it is possible to step on a "landmine" if you are not careful, let alone lying on it.

Therefore, half of the world's people are familiar with them, but he doesn't know any of them.

Song Ruanmeng smiled and did not explain.

Perhaps out of sympathy, the man very warmly invited them to have afternoon snacks, and it happened that he made mare milk tea.Probably because he was too defensive, Song Ruanmeng's first reaction after his invitation was to refuse, but before she could speak, the fat man nodded at the man very familiarly, his eyes narrowed when he smiled. a seam.

Song Ruanmeng was very helpless, and several teammates around couldn't help laughing.

Feng Xiu was the only one who had drunk horse milk tea here.As soon as he heard that he was going to drink this thing, he had a happy and bitter expression on his face. Song Ruanmeng noticed, and asked in a low voice when the man was not paying attention: "What's wrong?"

Feng Xiu came over and only replied two words: "Smelly." But although it is smelly, horse milk tea is rich in nutrition and can replenish consumption. For them now, it is not only very suitable, but also saves half a meal of food.

The man cooked it in a large stone pot. The smell from the pot was not fishy, ​​and the color was soft and light brown. He generously scooped up a large bowl and handed it to the fat man who was stretching his neck and looking at it in surprise. .

The legendary horse milk tea is really legendary.At this time, they had only heard of such a thing, but they had never drank it.So the fat man was very excited. Before he blew twice, he couldn't help but take a sip, stomping his feet while inhaling hotly.

The man laughed heartily, patted the fat man on the shoulder, and said in broken lingua franca: "You are very interesting."

The fat man couldn't help but rolled his eyes, he was really using his life to interpret the amateur profession of being funny.But since they laughed, he was worth it.

The first bite was so hot that his tongue and head lost consciousness, so he tasted it and didn't feel any taste, but a very strong milky fragrance echoed between the tip of his tongue and his throat.He couldn't help but took another small sip, his first reaction was to frown, a disgusting fishy smell hit his nostrils, the fat man's stomach churned, just when he couldn't help but want to spit it out , After a while, the fishy smell became weaker and weaker, and only the rich and heart-warming milk fragrance was left in the mouth again.

The fat man widened his eyes, looked at the smiling man, swallowed it, and tried it again. Sure enough, when he first drank it, the fishy smell in his mouth seemed to flow into his brain along the nerves, which made him feel displeased immediately. , but this feeling fades away once he drinks it. At the end of the drink, he became more and more used to this taste. Gulu Gulu ignored the scorching heat and stomped his feet while drinking the whole bowl.

After drinking, he sighed contentedly, touched his hot and comfortable belly, and gave the man a thumbs up with a look of enjoyment.

The expression on the fat man's milk tea was very strange, which made the next few people very curious about the taste, so they picked up the bowl for themselves and drank it in small sips.

At the first bite, Zhou Yiyi, who loves food, almost spit it out, but after a long period of time when she couldn't find food, she even put tender grass without dú into the pot and cooked it, so she squeezed her nose and swallowed it. , I was about to say something with a sad face, but I felt a very wonderful soft milk taste in my mouth, not only the milk taste, but also an unknown tea fragrance.

With this wonderful feeling, they drank the whole bowl and looked at the man with puzzled eyes.

Those few PDs, on the other hand, drank their share very calmly, touched their stomachs, and sighed comfortably.

The man was almost convulsed with laughter. He wiped away the physical tears from the laughter and explained: "The real horse milk tea does not have such a strong taste, but I have a special taste and I prefer things with strong flavors. This is made by myself. The recipe tastes good, right?" In fact, there are many reasons for it. He lives alone on the uninhabited grassland all year round, and occasionally passes by a few tourists who bring him laughter.He couldn't help but play a prank, enjoying the expressions of these people's love and hatred for horse milk tea.

It was precisely because of his loneliness that he showed great enthusiasm for the arrival of these people, especially half of these people were children who could not speak, which made him more relaxed and unprepared.

The fat man was a little curious, and ran outside to look at several tents not far away. There were several horses in front of each tent, and they all looked like people lived there.He wanted to ask, but he was afraid of being deducted points, so he scratched his head and scratched his head impatiently.

But the man seemed to see his doubts at a glance, and said indifferently: "It's all my tent. I live alone in the grassland. I will be lonely after a long time. Does it look more lively like this? Is there a lot of people living here with me?"

Hearing this, the sentimental Zhou Yiyi felt a little sad, Xu's expression was also soft, and the rest of the children didn't realize the meaning at first, but soon, they realized that they all felt a little sympathetic to this man.

According to what he said, there will be no human habitation in the next ten kilometers. He invites them to stay for one night before leaving tomorrow. Song Ruanmeng has a look at the sky. It is almost evening now. You have to set up camp in an hour, and the time wasted is not as good as living here.

So she nodded to the others, and everyone immediately cheered.

Maybe it was really too lonely, he held back a lot of words, and the children were in urgent need of learning knowledge, so one was willing to speak, and the other group were willing to listen. Looking at the well-behaved children, his heart softened into a puddle of spring water.The man felt that he had never been so happy, and his voice softened, as if he was afraid of disturbing these children who looked like porcelain dolls.

The man said that he had never left the grassland. He heard a lot of things about the sea from people who passed by here, and he always wanted to see the sea. He wanted to see how magnificent it was, whether it was bigger than the grassland. To be vast, bluer than the sky, and more terrifying than sandstorms when angry...

But he can't leave, because this is his job, he loves this prairie, but he also loves this boundless world, and wants to travel more and explore more.If there is a future, after he arranges all the things, if he can still walk, he will also go around the world to see the beautiful but dangerous boundless sea.

But everyone who is doing it, including himself, knows that this is just a dream, because he is now in his 50s. Since it is impossible to leave this grassland in recent years, after he leaves, People are also old, and it is not suitable for long-term travel.

He seemed to have thought of this as well, humming a song on the grassland while warming himself by the fire. Most of the lyrics were in common language, fragmented, but people could tell that the main idea of ​​the lyrics was only two words "freedom" ".

The fat man was holding a bowl of goat's soufflé made by the man himself. He kept eating more and more slowly, and finally stopped completely. Looking at the jumping fire, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Song Ruanmeng hugged her knees and looked at the fire. She tilted her head and thought about it, opened her lips, and sang for the first time——

follow the hint of the sky

leave the cold city

Get on a speeding train and disappear

Out of control of the night

forget my old name

drop everything now

To find my old soul...

This is the first time she has sung. What is surprising is that her singing voice is very distinctive and magnetic. Everyone looked at the girl singing in a low voice in surprise. The man looked at her in shock. He always thought that she He is a mute, thinking that these children are all dumb.However, thinking that they hadn't spoken all day, and the only time they spoke was now, he slowly let go of other thoughts and began to listen carefully to her singing, which seemed to have spread its wings to break away from all restraints.

no flimsy pretense needed

I don't want humble prayers

I just open my tentacles

to find to find

no need for ridiculous warnings

I don't want to pretend to be proud

I just want to prove that I still exist

to find to find

……

After a song, Song Ruanmeng raised her head, there was no sadness in her eyes, and even a smile, she spoke again, and the low and cheerful singing sounded again——

Embrace the sun and sing loudly together

Running happily, looking up, thinking about nothing

Time is too fast, life is too short, but the world is too wide

No reason to stop, no reason not to go crazy

Unleash your youthful energy

I see, the world is full of hope

if you want to go

don't wait until tomorrow

hold our hand

go on an adventure together

……

When the morning star rose into the sky, the children had already left in the dark. The man watched in a daze as their young and energetic figures gradually disappeared from his field of vision. The singing voice of the leading girl seemed to be ringing in his ears all the time: If you want to go Don't wait until tomorrow, hold our hands and go to insurance together.Every day I look forward to new challenges, I believe in myself, I am not afraid of failure...

He touched the necklace on his neck, which was woven from a dark green thin rattan chain, and on it was a knuckle-length transparent small bottle, which was filled with white sand, which he had never seen before. white sand, and a small white shell the size of a soybean.

This is what the girl gave him, and the piece of paper left behind reads: I will not tell you what these are, if you want to know, you can find them yourself, I believe, before your life is over , you will one day be able to see for yourself where these things come from.

He looked at the grassland, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, exhaled, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes were full of smiles.

He tore off the collar, tore off the unnaturally colored skin in his throat, and when he spoke again, his voice was no longer the middle-aged, energetic voice, but very old: "This is really a very cute child. Such a child, How could you do something like that..."

He turned around and walked into the tent, and the old voice sounded again: "But she is right, I have been trapped on this grassland for decades, and I really want to see that sea again, that island……"

The morning fog cleared, and the fat man suddenly said, "Captain, he's not a bad guy, is he?"

Song Ruanmeng looked at him with a smile. Despite the carefree and familiar appearance of the fat man on weekdays, he is actually the most sensitive person to the good and evil of others.

He can easily feel the attitude of the other party towards him, no matter how deep it is hidden.

It's like he was able to take a fancy to Song Ruanmeng in that club at the first time, and then approached him immediately, because Song Ruanmeng at that time was indeed full of love for this fat little fat man.

He is with Zhou Yiyi because Zhou Yiyi has no prejudice against him, and her soft personality needs protection.

She is with Zhang Yourong, who seems to have the worst relationship and often calls her a "shoehorn", because Zhang Yourong is grateful for taking care of Zhou Yiyi all the time, so that Zhou Yiyi is not hurt in the time without him.

Together with Feng Xiu, because Feng Xiu looks burly and difficult to get close to, but he is very soft and soft in his heart, he is careful and knows how to take care of other people's emotions.

I'm with Lin Mu because Lin Mu's personality is similar to him. Although he occasionally speaks harshly, he doesn't actually mean any malice.

Together with classmate Xu, because classmate Xu has a flamboyant personality but is kind, and she doesn't mind sharing her own food with him when she is hungry.

The only thing he didn't say much to Yu Cong in this team was because although he didn't feel any malice towards him from Yu Cong, he didn't feel any kindness towards him either.

And that man, the first time he saw him, exuded the same affection as when Song Ruanmeng saw him for the first time, reminding him of the captain he met for the first time, so he felt very cordial.

The man told them a lot of stories. Although he said that he was just retelling the stories of passing travelers, he could feel the man's emotional tone. He was not really completely unfamiliar with the outside world. When talking about the sea, talking about Dao, the imperceptible nostalgia revealed in his tone was still sensitively noticed by him.

Song Ruanmeng shook his head: "I don't know if he is a good person, but at least when we are together, he has no malice towards us." She looked at the large light golden grass in front of her that was illuminated by the rising sun, faintly Said, "I don't know anything, because I'm not a god, I don't know his past, and I don't know if he will still maintain the same mind when we were together in the future. I don't know if he has done anything to us in the past, I don't know Will he even have murderous thoughts towards us in the future. There are too many things we don't know, since we can only know the answer in the future, why waste so much time on this kind of question?"

She was walking at the forefront of the team, the light golden sun shone into her dark pupils, her tall pony tail was jumping in the wind, she turned her head and smiled and said to them: "Our road is still very long, we have to go through There are too many things and troubles. In the rest of the time, we must know how to enjoy the surprises brought by this journey. There are not many things to think about things that don’t need to occupy our minds. We just try our best to live well Every 'then', there is no regret when I look back."

Although there may still be sadness, but 'at that time' I did my best.

Song Ruanmeng has always been such a person, live well in the present, and will not have any regrets when looking back.Maybe the ending is not satisfactory, but she has tried her best.

Everyone stood in place, staring blankly at this captain who was so intellectual and beautiful as a goddess for the first time, his heart seemed to be washed, and when he finally couldn't help being emotional, the goddess captain suddenly changed his face: "Still standing still!" Don't you think about what to do, don't you have a brain, you said try your best to live every moment, and don't hurry, don't you think you have wasted enough time?"

All: ... As expected, handsome for only three seconds.

The fat man ran up hurriedly, followed by Song Ruanmeng, took out a bag of goat soufflés from the man and handed it to Song Ruanmeng with a doggy face: "Captain, you are hungry, eat while walking, you Whatever you say, I will listen to you, calm down."

Song Ruanmeng glanced at him suspiciously, took the whole bag of goat's soufflé, put one piece in his mouth, and stuffed the rest into his bag, ignoring the fat man's wide-eyed look of annoyance and said: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

The fat man hurriedly adjusted his expression, and thumped her shoulder with his palm-sized fist: "Captain, you can sing, much better than me. Why have I never heard you sing before?"

Song Ruanmeng squinted at him: "I like beating people, it hurts more than you, but I have never done it, and my parents still don't know."

Fatty: "..."

Classmate Xu burst out laughing, leaning on his crutches, he said to Song Ruanmeng: "Captain, don't talk to him. He likes to sing. I guess he is greedy for the song you sang yesterday that he has never heard before. I want to know what it is." What song is it."

Hearing this, Song Ruanmeng thought of the singer who sang this song. These two songs will not come out until several years later. She doesn't know which composer wrote them, but she doesn't want to plagiarize other people's works, and she doesn't need to rely on herself The Prophet plagiarized other people's works to make a fortune, so he just said: "Forgot, I don't know where I heard it from, I thought the lyrics were very good, so I wrote it down."

"Huh?" Fatty was surprised, "I thought it was the song composed by you, Captain."

In his heart, this captain has been deified. Although she is night blind and has poor aiming ability, she is almost good at other things. She learns quickly and has amazing comprehension. It is almost impossible to tell that she is a novice.

Song Ruanmeng was funny: "There are many things that I don't know, and you will know after a long time. Okay, take a breath, I don't know if we can find the water source on this road. If we can't, we will wait. Sleeping on the grassland at night waiting for frost and dew."

Zhou Yiyi snickered, the fat man looked at her resentfully, he didn't want to sleep on this grassland, if he hadn't slept in the grassland owner's tent yesterday, and the fire was burning all night, he would have heard the strong wind blowing against the tent outside You can hear the sound, how cold it would be if you slept on the grassland.

They walked for several hours, from before the sun rose to about to set, before seeing the end of the grassland. During this period, the mobile phone rang several times. It was all public news, and how many people got survival rewards—— - Open the information exchange teammate channel to build a team.

Open the team channel, there are a list of team names on it, a total of more than 20 teams, one of the team names is actually written in brackets next to: (copper plate: 1).

Seeing this, Lin Mu was taken aback, and said to the teammates around him: "Look at the teammates channel, a team got a copper plate!"

Song Ruanmeng also turned on his phone and checked, sure enough.

Copper coins are special items, and currently no one knows the specific way to obtain them. Recently, a regional channel has been opened on the information exchange channel. Regional channels refer to the channels of all players in the same mission trial site. A message was sent above, those who did not have a "copper plate" could only watch helplessly.

After reading it, although Song Ruanmeng was also a little envious, she quickly adjusted her mood, put her phone away, and looked at the sky. It took only a few minutes for the sky to darken, and the thin dark clouds shone like cotton wool. The sky covers.

Feng Xiu looked around, there was more sand on the ground, less green grass, the temperature gradually dropped, and the oncoming wind, from the beginning of the breeze, became stronger and stronger. He looked at Song Ruanmeng with a dignified expression: "We can't go anymore, we must find a place to hide!"

Lin Mu was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Song Ruanmeng looked at the turbidity in the air in the distance, and said softly: "The sandstorm is coming."

The author has something to say:

small theater--
