Song Yin in the last days

In the past two and a half years, Song Yin and Xu Lingfeng have been staying in Xianyang, becoming the only human residents in Xianyang.

Two years ago, on December 12th, another earthquake occurred in Xianyang. Five days later, Xianyang evacuated, leaving the three of them completely under the West Mountain. The moon will see the sun again.

After leaving the karst cave, they found that the outside had become a dead town, but the two chose to stay in Xianyang. The main reason was Song Yin's physical condition - this time he had just broken through and stepped up to fight against the enemy, and his body was seriously injured , even if there is a heaven-defying Jiuhuantian, the result of being bedridden for half a year is nothing more than freedom of movement, and it is still very far away from real recovery.However, he has set up such a terrible and powerful enemy for himself. Once the enemy finds out, the consequences will be devastating.

After serious consideration, the two decided to put health and safety first. It was not until October last year that Song Yin's body was basically recovered, but Xu Lingfeng was in the critical period of breakthrough, and the time to leave was delayed again and again. After the winter passed, the family of three finally walked out of Xianyang.

During the two and a half years of seclusion, the life was simple and dull, but it was never boring.It sounds like a long honeymoon for couples to become husband and wife. However, the two of them have to practice, raise a baby, and go out to look for food. While tedious, there is also a lot of happiness.

There are countless troubles and difficulties, such as food.Song Yin saved food according to six people and a half year, but his "six people and a half year" was based on the amount of food in the happy era when there was no shortage of meat, and the two of them, especially Xu Lingfeng, were still a mutant with a lot of food, and one had to eat a lot of food. Catch two, if you completely rely on those grains, it will last at most one and a half years.

Fortunately, there were ruins left in Xianyang Town. People took all their food away when they evacuated, but those buried in the ruins remained where they were. After a long and cold winter, most of them did not deteriorate. They dug up some rice, flour, grain, oil, and even charcoal—the first ruin they dug up was their No. [-] building, and the second was Qin Wei's No. [-] building.

Rice noodles can turn over ruins, but meat can’t, so the two quickly became master hunters. Even Xiao Dingding learned to set traps to catch birds. The first reaction when seeing a squirrel is definitely to think of barbecue (what a cruel baby )!

Therefore, when they heard in the Hu’s restaurant that the meat is made from voles and bamboo rats, the reaction of the two people was definitely not because of nausea, but because they were too surprised—in just two and a half years, the people of C City fell down and wanted to eat it Are voles eating bamboo rats? !

But now, a boat ticket actually costs [-] yuan. You must know that it is only [-] kilometers from C City to Wucheng. In the past, it only cost a few hundred yuan to take a plane.

And, unexpectedly, unexpectedly... still have to sit, donkey, and cart!

======

The next day, the family of three finally saw the so-called "donkey cart", which was actually a donkey in front and a tricycle behind it, and a young couple was in the same cart.

The driver was a young man in jeans walking beside the donkey.This person is good at chatting, seeing that they are not locals, he explained to them enthusiastically: "The state-run ferry ticket is cheap, but they only run one boat a week, and there are 40 seats on the boat, all of which are paid for by people who eat public meals." No, they don’t sell tickets at all. But you can’t blame them all for this. They are losing money. Don’t look at how fast you can run through Wucheng from here, but the return journey depends on these little donkeys walking the road step by step to tow the boat. I came back. Now the road is not smooth, and only people dare to go on the road if we have enough. We only start work once a week, not to mention the salary of the crew. With the current price, the cost of raising these donkeys is terrible.”

The young woman on the donkey cart was indignant: "Then they still keep so many idlers, and they only open one boat a week, but look at their ticket office, there is a station master, a conductor, a maintenance worker, and a breeder. There is a cleaner, but there is also a gatekeeper!"

"It's much better than it was at the beginning. At that time, he almost broke his head in order to fight for the position of the breeder." The driver smiled disapprovingly. They thought they could get along by relying on relationships, believe it or not, they were the first to die."

The young man spoke very confidently, with a strong air.

Xu Lingfeng looked at Song Yin, raised his eyebrows, and Song Yin nodded slightly - this man is a mutant, but this private boat was introduced by the battalion commander Zhao last night, so it would not be possible to kill people and rob money.And to be honest, even if they encounter real robbers, they will definitely not be the unlucky ones.

The pier is not far away, and there is no traffic jam now, and they arrived at 07:30.On the road, I only met a few people, all of whom were riding bicycles. Two of them even said hello to the man driving the car, "Dongzi is leaving the boat again today", and they seemed to be the aborigines in the surrounding area.

After getting off the donkey cart, the driver asked them to wait on the pier, and drove the donkey onto the boat first. Xu Lingfeng stared intently at the little donkey and asked him, "Do you want to raise one?"

The little guy nodded desperately: "Is it so short because it hasn't grown up yet?"

Two dads: "..."

Country bun Ding Ding: "The paintings are so tall and beautiful!"

The couple were stunned for a moment before they realized that they were treating a donkey as a horse in their feelings, and they couldn't help laughing immediately.

This is a wooden boat. I don’t know where this group got it. The boat is not big. Once six donkeys got on it, the hull immediately sank. Fortunately, there were only 28 passengers on board, plus 8 crew members. , the waterline is still two or three inches above the water surface.

This section of the river is not wide, the current is not urgent, and the wooden boat moves smoothly.There are no stools on the boat, and the passengers all sit on the floor, and there is no roof on the boat. It is the best time of the year, and it is not bad to watch the scenery on both sides of the river while blowing the river wind.However, there were probably only three members of the Song family who were interested in watching the scenery on the whole boat.

Song Yin looked at it for a while, and found that the whole style of painting was wrong.Let’s not talk about it when the sky is overcast. The trees on the bank are alright. A little farther away, few trees are still alive. The field is green, but the green is all grass. Half of the houses by the river look dilapidated. Rotten, not inhabited at all... The only gratifying change is that there are no obvious pollutants in the river. In some river sections, there are a group of children crowded by the river, looking like they are catching fish and shrimp.

This kind of "scenery" is not only boring to watch for a long time, but also makes people feel uncomfortable. It didn't take long for Song Yin to close his eyes and go to meditate.

Song Yin looked at the scenery, but Xu Lingfeng was looking at the passengers.Passengers are all dressed in white-collar clothes (blue-collar workers probably can't afford the boat ticket), most of them are carrying big bags to salute, and some even carry quilts.

However, the atmosphere on the boat was not dull. Several families brought their children and half-children aboard. The children ran around on the boat full of energy, and even brought the whole boat to life.Two of the children seem to be only slightly older than Ding Ding. Ding Ding has never been in contact with children, and has been watching them wanting to get close. Then, after being fooled by a male duck voice, he walked away After the big white rabbit, little country bumpkin Dingding joined the team of children as he wished, and was taken to see the donkey by the male duck-voiced brother...

Xu Lingfeng listened to all kinds of entanglements while sitting on the boat-how could such a stupid baby be raised by him?

Fortunately, the male duck's voice is not bad, he cheated Ding Ding's Tang, he was not bad to Ding Ding, his own brother refused to recognize anyone after eating candy, he thought Ding Ding couldn't play and wanted to expel Ding Ding, At least he didn't indulge his younger brother, and he seriously taught his younger brother that children should be united and friendly.

……

When it was almost eleven o'clock, Xu Lingfeng took out the buns and heated them at the stern. They had breakfast at six o'clock, and they were already hungry.

The crew raised a stove at the stern, burning ancient honeycomb briquettes, which was used to boil water to heat lunch, and the passengers can also heat food, paid service, 50 a time.

After heating the steamed stuffed buns, he sent Ding Ding to ask his father to come over for dinner, opened a can of fish by himself, poured the milk in the thermos into a bowl for Ding Ding to drink, and finally peeled an egg, Ding Ding was only thinking about fermented soybeans Fish and big meat buns. After eating the egg yolk, he stopped opening his mouth. He and Song Yin shared half of the egg white... These foods were all bought from Hu's small shop. It seems that although there is a shortage of supplies, at least there are still some to sell, but the price is high To outrageous.

The other passengers saw their demeanor, and there were not a few people who were unhappy. You guys are here on a spring outing on a boat, and you are here to envy us, right? ... But the smell of the food is so cute that my stomach doesn't cooperate, so I had to take out my own dry food and eat it, and the gap appeared immediately.

Just looking at the clothes, the people on this boat are not too different, but the food is obviously different. The adults and children of other people are eating steamed buns, and there are even a few who are eating sweet potatoes. At most, they can add a bottle of pickled bean curd. Willing to spend money on heating.As far as their family ate steamed stuffed buns, eggs and canned fish, and the children had milk to drink... Immediately, several lines of sight became deeper and farther away.

But they didn't know that the two parents of this family saw that eating a steamed stuffed bun was like eating the top delicacy in the world, and they didn't feel very happy in their hearts. They stayed in Xianyang for the past two years. It's nothing for them two adults, but they are indeed owed the child.

After lunch, Song Yin walked around the boat with Ding Ding, and answered all kinds of childish questions about the inside and outside of the boat. Ding Ding got up early, rubbing his eyes and dozing off after a while.Song Yin handed him over to Xu Lingfeng, and found a quiet place to continue meditating.

A crew member approached quietly, and Xu Lingfeng saw that it was Dongzi who picked them up to the pier.

Dongzi sat next to him and lowered his voice: "Brother, are you all monks?"

Xu Lingfeng nodded. They were not prepared to hide it, and they couldn't hide it if they wanted to: "You want to practice too?"

Dongzi sighed, a little dejected: "The test I took last year was only three levels of mutation, and I was two levels away before I could practice."

Xu Lingfeng: "The third level of variation is not bad, it's easy to find a job."

Dongzi: "It shouldn't be difficult to eat public meals. I have a buddy who went to the Fog City Patrol Team. But after thinking about it, I always feel that it is not a long-term solution. If there is no accident, let it be. Once an accident occurs, we low-level mutants People still don't rush forward to be cannon fodder?"

Xu Lingfeng stopped talking, this possibility is quite high.

But the purpose of Dongzi's coming here is obviously not this: "I heard that the level can be improved, is that true?"

Xu Lingfeng looked at this kid with admiration: "So it's a bit risky for you to run a private boat, but maybe you have a chance to improve your level?"

Dongzi looked like he was in his early twenties, and he was a little embarrassed to be told about the central matter. He rubbed his head and said, "I'm not the only one who thinks so. The buddies on the boat are all the same as me, but I don't know if it's reliable or not."

Xu Lingfeng pondered for a moment, and then seriously replied: "As far as I know, there is indeed room for improvement in the mutation level, but it varies from person to person, and not everyone has the opportunity. However, if your goal is to increase the level If so, I suggest you go to the public house, the most advanced and systematic training method must be in the hands of the state, than you can explore by yourself..."

Without saying a word, I heard a roar from the bow: "Quick, quick, fuck, there's something coming in the water..."
