The Tight Embrace of the End Times

I stayed in the village for more than an hour. When driving, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the car was dignified.

After driving in silence for three hours, the first ray of sunshine appeared in the morning, which was a bit dazzling. The people in the car stared blankly at the sunshine, and couldn't help but think of the description of the sun before the end of the world. The sun is warm, and everyone cheered. Feeling warm, the sun dispelled the inner haze.

I deliberately drove for a while longer, and chose to stop at a gap where there are mountains on both sides.

This mountain is too high, too big, and stretches endlessly.In the backlit depression on the mountainside, there are actually some green trees growing, forming a green belt, which seems to be hundreds of meters long and full of greenery.

Several people covered the car with dry grass and climbed to the depression halfway up the mountain.

It's a lot cooler here, no wonder the trees can survive here.

Most of them are trees with unrecognizable names, and even the common weeds in the past are kind to people.Several people searched separately, Gu Hai suddenly shouted: "Brother Xiao Leng, Brother Xiao Qiao, come here quickly, come and see this tree."

Gu Leng ran over following the sound, and it turned out to be a chestnut tree, and some of the chestnut balls on it were exploded, and the dark red fruit inside could be seen, obviously, it was the time when the chestnuts were ripe.

A group of people were so excited that they searched around and found five chestnut trees.Next to one of the chestnut trees, there is actually a pear tree. The pears are small and the skin is numb. I picked a pear in Nianxia, ​​wiped it on my clothes, and took a big bite. It was sweet and full of water. Yes, these are genuine pears. After the end of the world, I haven’t eaten fruit. Now that I have a bite of pears, Nian Xia squats down under the tree and weeps.

Everyone ignored him and picked a pear to eat. The sweet taste of the long-lost fruit melted in their mouths. The feeling and emotion made many people want to cry like Nian Xia, but They were all grown-ups, so they calmed down and thought of chestnuts and pears one after another.

In the end, I decided to pick it and not keep a single one.

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao were quick on their feet, and went down the mountain first to get the sack.Some of the rest of the people jumped to the tree to pick the fruit, and some found a long stick and knocked the fruit off the top of the tree. Everyone was very busy.

Pears are very convenient, just pick them off and put them in sacks. There are two sacks in total.

Chestnuts are more troublesome. Chestnuts wrapped in thick burrs cannot be carried like this.So a group of people had to gather the chestnuts into a pile, sit down around them, and dig open the chestnut balls with stones.

The chestnut ball pricked his hand, and if he was not careful, his fingers would be pricked. Xiao Qiao was blatantly biased and insisted on letting Gu Leng chisel the chestnut. Gu Leng had no choice but to peel the dark red shell of the chestnut beside him.

Peeled a plate full, and made a chestnut roast chicken for Xiao Qiao to eat. You know, these few days of driving, Xiao Qiao drove the longest time and took the least rest. She seemed to be a lot haggard, and Gu Leng also felt distressed. ah.

Seeing the pears, Gu Leng thought for a while, then brought another pot and boiled a pot full of pear water, which was still boiled with space spring water to ensure health and deliciousness.

With so many men, a pot of pear water and a pot of roasted chicken with chestnuts were obviously not enough, so Gu Leng simply ran to the car and got 8 large sweet potatoes and 8 corn cobs to make everyone very full.

Everyone was still peeling chestnuts wholeheartedly, smelling the smell of roast chicken next to them, one by one kept looking here, absent-minded about their work, Gu Leng had no choice but to say: "Okay, let's eat first, and then work after eating." As soon as the words fell, several men were already squatting in front of the chestnut roast chicken.

The marinated roast chicken, glutinous chestnuts, fragrant corn, and soft roasted sweet potatoes all satisfy the gluttons in the stomach, and the heart is endlessly ironed.

After eating, he went to peel the chestnuts. Gu Leng cleaned up the pots and bowls, and was going to go around again to see if there were any other gains.

When Gu Leng was leaving, he called Nian Xia, it's not good that everyone is busy, you can enjoy the leisure all by yourself, Nian Xia is the youngest person here, drag him to look for food.

Wang Shuo told Nian Xia: "Be careful, follow Gu Leng, don't get lost, and be safe."

Xiao Qiao continued: "Xiao Leng, look at Nian Xia."

Gu Lengnu said, "Why aren't you worried about me?"

Xiao Qiao smiled and said, "I'm relieved of you."

Gu Leng: "Hmph."

……

Gu Leng and Nian Xia found a long stick and used it to explore the way as they walked.

Gu Leng had nothing to say: "Nian Xia, how old are you this year?"

Nian Xia: "It's almost 19."

Gu Leng: "Oh, you are so young, is your hometown in the town?"

Nian Xia smiled: "No, my hometown is in H province, it's far away from the town."

Gu Leng was surprised: "Then why did you come to the town? How did you meet Wang Shuo?"

Nian Xia: "There was a big earthquake in H province before the end of the world. I escaped by chance, and then I planned to come to this town to join my relatives." No, I stayed at a relative's house for a while, and wandered around the town alone, and then Brother Shuo saw that I was pitiful, so he took me back to him and arranged something for me to do."

Poor child, Gu Leng sighed in his heart, Nian Xia didn't mention what happened to his parents, and Gu Leng didn't mention it on purpose, for fear of arousing people's sadness.

Gu Leng: "The past is the past, live in the present, Wang Shuo is very kind to you, and I will take you with me when I go out."

Nian Xia blushed: "Brother Shuo is a very nice person and treats everyone very well. I am young, so he took me out because he was afraid that I would be bullied if I stayed."

Unlikely, Wang Shuo was obviously very concerned about Nian Xia along the way, and Nian Xia blushed when he mentioned Wang Shuo, could it be...

"Does Wang Shuo like you? Then do you like Wang Shuo?" Gu Leng wanted to ask, so he asked directly.

Nian Xia blushed like a monkey's butt, and said angrily: "No, it's not what you said." Then he left Gu Leng and ran forward.

Gu Leng hummed inwardly, and said no, no one would believe your expression.Busily chasing after Nian Xia ran over.

The sunken green belt on the mountainside on the back is hundreds of meters long. Gu Leng didn't believe that he couldn't find other food.Eyes wander around, not missing any chance to find any food.

Finally, I saw a big tree at the very edge, and there was a huge beehive on the big tree.

Nian Xia is also full of surprises, wild honey is beautifying and beautifying, and bee pupa is also a rare delicacy in the eyes of Taotie. It is rich in protein and just nourishes the body. Both of them are eager to try.

Gu Leng told Nian Xia to stand far away, while he lit a torch with a match, tied it to a stick with vines, and smoked the bees near the hive. This trick really worked, and the bees flew away after a while.

Gu Leng carefully extinguished the fire, buried the used torch in the ground, completely eliminated the chance of burning the forest, climbed up the tree, and went back with Nian Xia with the honeycomb in his hands.

On the way back, Gu Leng held the honeycomb in his hands and concentrated on looking at the road ahead, then~, isn't that a yam leaf?That large area is full of yam leaves. There must be a lot of yams buried under it. Let’s take the honeycomb back first. Gu Leng murmured in his heart as he walked: I was wrong. I shouldn’t just look for fruit trees. I was wrong. I Don't just look at the sky, not the ground...
