tall and rhubarb

If you go further to the west, you will be in City K. It stands to reason that there must be snakes in this area of ​​Province Y, but it's hard to say where you can find them.

Instead of walking blindly all over the mountains, Gao Chang felt that it would be better to go to the city to try his luck. The place is warm and humid all year round, and snakes are the favorite, so some locals will plant snakes to kill their families.With the development of the market economy over the years, if there is a demand, there will naturally be someone to supply it. There are many nurseries and flower fields in K City. If you are lucky, you should be able to find the snake.

And I heard from the old man in the village in front that City K had a high rate of vegetation coverage, and under the blue sunlight, it became even more uncontrollable. Humans competed with these plants for living space, and the difficulty can be imagined. .In addition, something happened in the experimental area later, and the small population in the city also migrated to the north.After some consideration, the government decided to withdraw the power from this area and devote it to the development of the central plateau area.It can be said that the entire province of Y is now in a state of no control except for some national defense forces at the border.

Gao Chang guessed that in such a huge city, even if most of the people fled, and the government departments and the army moved out, it would not be so easy to completely turn into a dead city. Some people will struggle to survive in this abandoned city.

Both Gao Chang and Rhubarb walked very fast. The wolf was considered a beast, and it was a carnivorous hunter. Both physical and physical strength are much stronger than ordinary children, but they are still young after all, and they often need to take turns carrying them along the way.

It didn't take a long time for the group to arrive in City K. When they arrived outside the city of K, it was just at dawn, and there was still a crooked and slender crescent moon hanging in the eastern sky.Gao Chang and the others were walking on the road into the city. On both sides of the road were wildly growing flower fields.In the past, many people in K City made a living by growing and selling flowers. Now that they have left, the flowers in the flower fields are still blooming, and they are blooming more vigorously and beautifully than before.

"Can you smell where there is a snake killing the door?" Although Gao Chang is sensitive to five senses, his sense of smell is far from that of rhubarb. That guy can smell someone cooking a few miles away. At this time , Gao Chang can count on him.

"No, the scent of flowers in this city is too strong, and I can't tell them apart." Rhubarb sniffled and couldn't help sneezing. His sense of smell is too sensitive. If he stays in this ghost place for a long time, he must be caught by these The scent of flowers is undeniable.

"Be patient, let's leave as soon as possible." Gao Chang took out a fairly clean T-shirt from his backpack, soaked it in water, and let rhubarb cover his face to cover his nose.Although in terms of reputation, it is true that Gao Chang married into the dog clan, but in their relationship, Gao Chang thinks that he is indeed playing the role of a male. Once this cognition is confirmed, he feels that he is taking care of Rhubarb or something. , should be done.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah..." Over there, the wolf also sneezed.

"Simba, what's the matter?" Suobo touched the top of the wolf's head and asked with concern. He had already accepted the name Gao Chang gave to the wolf, although the wolf himself did not accept it.

"Wuuuhhhh!" The wolf probably wanted to protest, but because the fragrance of the flowers was too strong, it kept sneezing, shaking its head while sneezing, and after a few sneezes, its eyes got wet. Pitiful.

"What should I do?" Suobo asked for help, tugging at the hem of his tall clothes.

"It's okay, it's probably a bit of pollen allergy." Gao Chang pulled the wolf's fur to check, and there was no rash yet, so it shouldn't be serious, but if it kept sneezing along the way , that is really choking.

Gao Chang took out some clothes from his bag and wanted to cover the wolf's nose, but because of the physical structure of the wolf species, it seemed impossible to cover the nose without covering the eyes.The snout of a wolf is relatively long. The nose hole is at the top of the snout, and the mouth is below. The gap between the eyes and the nose hole is not too big. Gao Chang tried several clothes, but all ended in failure, but in the end, he finally still Found something suitable, but the wolf seemed reluctant.

"It's okay, I washed these socks very clean." Gao Da opened the opening of the socks, trying to put the wolf's entire snout inside. For a wolf, there is nothing more suitable than this of the mask.

"Ah Choo!" The wolf looked at the socks in Gao Chang's hand and took a step back.For a while, he was on the road with Gao Chang and the others. After a long time, he also deeply understood how bad the smell on men's feet was, especially on rainy days when their shoes were wet and then dry and wet again. After reincarnation, the smell could kill a bear.

"This thing is made of pure cotton, soft and dense. A pair costs more than ten yuan. It will definitely work if you put it on." Gao Chang also knows that even animals have self-respect. It is true that you have to put a pair of socks on someone's mouth It's a bit unreasonable, but isn't it impossible right now?

"Woo..." The wolf protested with wet eyes, and kept backing away, refusing to cooperate.

"If that doesn't work, you can just wait outside the city, and we'll call you when we leave the city." Gao Chang was really uncomfortable seeing it sneezing all the time, anyway, it might not be so if this guy followed him in. If you can help, there is no need to suffer this crime in vain. "Suobo, do you want to wait outside the city with it?"

Suobo looked at Gao Chang, then turned to look at the wolf, and remained silent.For a six-year-old child, this is really a difficult choice. Because of the special experience, the child has no sense of security. For him, the separation may be temporary, but it may also be permanent.He walked so many roads with Gao Chang and the others, passing through so many strange places, knowing that the world is so big, if he lost it, how could he find it?

On one side were Gao Chang and the others he liked very much, and on the other side was the wolf who had been by his side all the time. Suobo thought for a while with a stern face, and finally stood beside the wolf without saying a word.

"It's okay, we'll be out in a day or two at most, and we'll come to you when the time comes. The wolf's nose is so good, and your father's nose is also very good. We will definitely meet again when the time comes." Gao Chang really couldn't bear to see this The little child showed such a depressed and sad expression, he stroked his head and said a few words of comfort.

Gao Chang and Da Huang left, while Suobo and Da Huang stayed where they were. Although it was only a brief separation, for some reason, it made people feel so uncomfortable.Gao Chang thought, if he finds She Mie Men earlier, he should come back quickly, and then bring the child Suobo back to his village, although raising a child is a bit troublesome, especially since he has a wolf that can cause trouble.

"Ah Choo." Behind him came the sound of the wolf sneezing again. Gao Chang heard that the distance was not right, so he stopped and turned around to see, aren't those two guys running over here?The child used both hands and feet, and ran very fast on the narrow road in the middle of the flower field. Compared with the wolf beside him, he was not inferior, a solid wolf cub.

"Run on two legs next time." Gao Chang picked him up and wiped his hands with his sleeves. He wanted to let the other children go. He should have been crying by now, but this child probably After living among wolves for a long time, he has forgotten that as a child, he still has the right to be wronged and act like a baby.

"Oh." Suobo nodded obediently, with a smile in his dark eyes.

"Hey, you still have to wear this thing when you arrive." Da Huang took out a sock that was just stuffed back from the bag behind Gao Chang's back, folded it with his stiff claws, and put it on for the wolf. , Turned on the kettle again and poured some water on it, the wolf did not struggle or resist this time.

"Look, what's the use of putting on socks? You can't die." After finishing, Rhubarb patted it on the head and said some sarcastic words, which was considered comforting.

The wolf sneezed twice through the sock, and then scratched it with its paw. The sock was a little tight, and its beard was crushed. It was not used to it, but it finally compromised. He shook his head slightly, then walked in front of Gao Chang and the others, with his butt facing Gao Chang and them.

After a small episode, they continued to walk into the city. Dahuang and the wolf who were wearing masks did not keep sneezing like they did at the beginning. After entering the city, Dahuang wanted to put the clothes on his face. Tear it off, but he soon discovered that there are many flowers planted in all directions of the city, and no matter which direction the wind blows from, it will bring a lot of pollen.

They walked on the street that was already occupied by plants, and passed several newsstands on the way. Gao Chang hoped to find a local tourist map, but almost all the materials on the street had been looted, including the newsstands. Magazines, newspapers, and maps are no exception.Without a map, they don't know which direction to go, and where should they go to find She Mie Men?Or should they go to a local and ask about the situation?

At this moment, they heard people yelling at the east side of the city. It seemed that there was a conflict, so they didn't think much, and went there directly. Anyway, the K affairs don't have the power of the government now, and they really don't need it for ordinary people. Afraid.

Several people ran for a few streets and stopped near a police station. There were a few monks in gray cloth shirts standing on the street shouting at the people upstairs, who were holding guns, but I didn't shoot all the time, I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of these monks, or because I feel sorry for the bullet.

"Hand over Jinghe, or the monks of our Baohua Temple will never end with you!" The monk who spoke was in his early twenties, holding a wooden stick in his hand, knocking on the iron gate of the police station, if it wasn't for his body Wearing a monk's robe and shaved his head, he looks like an ordinary young man, and he has a hot temper.

"It's not over? The sun will come out in a while, how are you going to have no end with me? I told you, that kid is voluntary, if you don't leave me, I will really shoot!" The man upstairs shouted, while still going The bottom spat.Although I don't know the whole story yet, in Gao Chang's view, spitting everywhere is basically not a good thing.
