新石器时代

When Gu Xiaolu woke up, he saw Ji Huaifeng looking at him maliciously.Thinking of the long and charming dream I just had, my face suddenly burned.

He could feel it without touching it, it seemed a little wet in his crotch.Thinking about being held in Ji Huaifeng's arms all night

He pushed Ji Huaifeng away, hugged the tree trunk and slid down to the ground.

"Is there any water around here? I want to wash my face." He said coyly.

Ji Huaifeng smiled playfully: "Do you still want to take a bath?"

Not far from the tree where they stayed, there was a large pool of water.Gu Xiaolu dug out two clean clothes from the rattan basket, turned his head and walked towards the pool.

The sun is not out yet.Although the temperature on the ground is very cold, the water in the pool is lukewarm, and there is still a faint water vapor rising on the surface of the water.Gu Xiaolu took off his clothes and jumped in, washing himself from head to toe.Coming out of the water trembling, he saw Ji Huaifeng squatting beside the water, washing his face leisurely.

But the eyes kept glancing in his direction again inadvertently.

Gu Xiaolu couldn't figure out whether he had noticed, so he carried him ashore and hid in the grass to get dressed.When he came out again, he saw Ji Huaifeng scrubbing the clothes he had just changed.He rushed over: "Hey, what are you doing?! Who told you to mess with my clothes?"

——Ji Huaifeng has been washed like this, isn't he completely exposed? !

Ji Huaifeng rolled his eyes at him: "You're so slow, how long will you wait until you wash it yourself?" Then he threw back a pair of washed underwear with three holes to him: "Wait for the sun Come out and hang it to dry." After finishing speaking, he continued to wash the rest of the clothes.

Gu Xiaolu angrily continued to grab the clothes in his hand: "What do you want to do?"

Ji Huaifeng rubbed his hands steadily, with deep meaning: "I slept soundly last night, what did you dream about?"

Gu Xiaolu was furious: "What does it matter to you if I dream? Give it to me!"

Ji Huaifeng smiled: "I slept soundly in the middle of the night and you pushed me up. You still grabbed me and kissed and hugged me. Did you say it's none of my business? I thought you would go soft after a while." Who knows that it has been going on for so long, you can do it!" He pretended to gossip and leaned forward: "Who did you dream about?"

There was a bit of casual anticipation in the teasing tone.

In his subconscious mind, even if Gu Xiaolu was dreaming, he should be with him.Gu Xiaolu's shy and angry look when he woke up in the morning made him feel that he was the one with Gu Xiaolu in his dream.

It's a pity that Gu Xiaolu never called him by his name.Although he knew that Gu Xiaolu had no one else but himself, he still felt a little bit regretful.

He wanted to hear Gu Xiaolu admit it personally.

Gu Xiaolu waved his hands and stood up: "Wash as much as you like! I'll light a fire and go barbecue!" After finishing speaking, he really left.

Ji Huaifeng was not too disappointed.Because he felt that the more Gu Xiaolu resisted him on the surface, the more it meant that Gu Xiaolu had actually accepted him physically.It's only because I still feel embarrassed in my heart that I'm so awkward.The more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, and finally he couldn't help singing by the pool: "Queen's Road West ~ Queen's Road East, Queen's Road East Turn Queen's Road ~ Why is there no palace on Queen's Road East, Queen's Road Middle ~ People Like a tide—ah—”

A UFO flew over from the direction of the fire pit, and landed on Ji Huaifeng's forehead very accurately.

Ji Huaifeng covered his head and jumped up, looking around vigilantly: "Who!"

Gu Xiaolu hopped over with one bare foot, picked up the shoes left not far away in front of him, put them on, and left without even looking at him.Ji Huaifeng wiped his forehead and smirked: "Hey! Little Lu, the accuracy is good!"

He has rough skin and thick flesh, and that shoe can't do him any harm at all, so he is happy to regard Gu Xiaolu's behavior as a temper tantrum after waking up, and playing around makes him look more affectionate.

——Although Gu Xiaolu didn't say anything, he actually didn't even touch Gu Xiaolu's hand, but he was happier than actually eating it.

So after going on the road, Ji Huaifeng was immersed in the happiness he imagined along the way, and his steps were so brisk that he wanted to float into the sky.

Gu Xiaolu seemed to be doing it on purpose, always falling a few steps behind.Ji Huaifeng couldn't help but grab his hand and drag him forward.Just pull and pull and move forward.There was another clump of sweet potato vines in the middle, and they dug up the sticks without hesitation; the sweet potatoes were naturally all dug up, and Gu Xiaolu picked all the young shoots and leaves back together.It was only when they dug up the branches that they remembered what they said yesterday about finding stones as knives.When they were on the road again, they always paid attention to the gravel on the side of the road, looking for a long strip of stone like the one held by the actor.

As a result, the walking speed suddenly slowed down again.

At dusk, the road they had traveled came to an end.

There is a tall bridge ahead.On both sides of the bridge, the straight roads are like a knife, splitting the field in half.And the road under their feet diverged into two forks, one left and one right connected to the bridge.Gu Xiaolu looked left and right, and there was a road sign lying in the grass on the side of the road—the handwriting on the road sign was still clearly legible.

"YK Expressway entrance 100m"

Gu Xiaolu said blankly: "My God, we have come to this place. I don't know how far it is from City Y? I heard that although City Y was flattened, a lot of good things can still be dug up. of."

Ji Huaifeng smiled: "Which city's ruins don't look like that? As long as you don't mind digging through the densely packed bones of dead people, I can accompany you. Maybe I can dig a better pot."

Gu Xiaolu felt cold all over his body.He was just talking casually just now, he didn't expect Ji Huaifeng to be so active.

Survivors like them are actually very unwilling to stay in that kind of ruins.Although I have been used to seeing death for a long time, it takes a lot of courage to search for useful things in such a place that is more terrifying than hell.So they would rather go hunting and do it themselves.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to say where should we go now?"

Ji Huaifeng dragged him slowly to the viaduct.There is no difference between the road ahead and the road behind.

"To the direction of City K."

The actor said that as long as they go west, they will definitely encounter the YK Expressway.Then walk along the expressway in the direction of City K, and you can reach that place after another two or three days.

No matter how slow they walked, they were almost there after all.

After turning onto the highway, because the road conditions of the highway were much better than that of the small provincial road—there were only some short vines and grasses on the road, and they walked much faster.But it's also less fun and more scary.

The fence next to the highway is still there, so it is not convenient for them to go hunting in the wild fields beside the road as before.And this highway is like other roads, and abandoned vehicles can be seen from time to time on the road.But in other places, because the weeds, shrubs and vines grow very tall, they have basically covered all the human remains on the ground.Even if they could distinguish the shape of the cars from the grass, they couldn't see the inside of the cars.

But it's different on this highway.Through the long-lost windows, they could inadvertently see the bones inside the car.

There are not only bones in the car, but also on the road, and on the side of the road—some are naked and exposed to the weak sunlight, while others are entangled by vines, half hidden.

Ji Huaifeng rode a motorcycle and passed this road three years ago.At that time, the road was full of fleeing people.Some people had been infected with germs, and the people around them threw them all into the deep ditch by the roadside without hesitation.

But they are all the same in the end, ashes to ashes, ashes to ashes.

Knowing that there might be something useful to be found next to those bones, they still didn't want to go there.All they can do is stride past without looking away.Both of them were a little uneasy.Gu Xiaolu first walked close to Ji Huaifeng for a while, and finally couldn't help but catch up with Ji Huaifeng's hand.

"You——go slowly, I'm almost too late." Gu Xiaolu really didn't want to admit that he grabbed his hand because he was afraid, so he could only excuse that he was walking too fast.

Ji Huaifeng was taken aback for a moment, then turned his hand back.The cold and sweaty hand was suddenly firmly held by a dry and strong hand, and Gu Xiaolu's hanging heart instantly landed softly.

"It's okay. I just, wanted to get there quickly."

"Oh."

Unknowingly, they changed from one in front of the other to walking side by side hand in hand.It's not that I don't want to procrastinate, it's that this road is really not suitable for staying for too long.

"Wow, look at that, is it a Rolls Royce?" Gu Xiaolu suddenly shook Ji Huaifeng's arm and said.Ji Huaifeng followed his gaze and said with a smile, "Yes."

They did not speak again.The famous car on this road is more than this Rolls Royce.But what good is an expensive and high-performance car on a road full of cars?

Ji Huaifeng tried his best to recall the actor's words.

"In the direction of City K, in a valley, there is a freeway entrance without any signs. But it is very recognizable, the left and right lanes form a butterfly shape on both sides of the expressway. You are here From there, go straight into the mountain. If you encounter two forked roads, take the road on the left, and if you encounter three forked roads, go to the rightmost one, and you will arrive at about ten kilometers.”

Looking up, at the end of the plain, where the sky and the earth meet, there is indeed a mountain range rising from the ground.

"Come on. It's getting dark."

They always felt safer staying on the mountain, so they walked down the mountain before dark.When we arrived, we climbed over the fence of the highway and climbed up the mountain. As usual, we wanted to find a cave to spend the night—even if there was no cave, it would be good to find a shelter from the wind.

When they really found the cave, they dared not go in and spend the night again.

Unexpectedly, even the mountains and caves are covered with many skeletons.Ji Huaifeng raised the torch to shine a light inside, and Gu Xiaolu gasped in fright.

Ji Huaifeng turned his head silently: "Let's find another place."

Gu Xiaolu walked all day, tired and hungry, the only thought in his mind now is to quickly find a place to burn and barbecue to sleep.Hearing what Ji Huaifeng said, he immediately lowered his face.

"How long will you be looking for?"

Ji Huaifeng spread his hands: "I don't know. But if you are willing to spend the night here, you don't have to look for it."

Gu Xiaolu frowned and thought for a moment, finally sighed, turned and walked away by himself.

They walked along the highway for another two hours and found a bridge ahead.The bridge is very long, and the waves under the bridge are rough.

There are four big characters engraved on a cement tablet at the head of the bridge: "Yonghe Bridge."

I don't know why, but the bridge is clean and there are almost no bones.Only clumps of weeds grew from the edge of the bridge railing, swaying in the night wind.

"Just here."

Gu Xiaolu said.He really didn't want to go anymore.After crossing this bridge, the other end of the bridge must still be full of corpses like this side.

Ji Huaifeng nodded wearily.The bridge is clean, but apart from the empty fence next to it, there is nowhere to rely on; the wind on the bridge is also particularly strong.Ji Huaifeng looked around and saw nothing but weeds on the bridge.They just wanted to find some branches that could light the fire, but there were none.And the charcoal they brought out from Longhu Town was burnt out little by little on the way.

——The bridge is still all hard concrete, and even if they can find branches, they can't dig a hole to make a fire.

The torch that Ji Huaifeng lit up to illuminate the road was soon blown out by the cold wind.

Tonight must be the most difficult night for them since they left Longhu Town.

Gu Xiaolu untied the rattan basket silently, leaned against the bridge railing and put it away, and sat down next to the rattan basket, curled up in a ball, as if the small rattan basket could block the cold wind for him.

Ji Huaifeng took out a handful of walnuts from his basket in the dark, cracked them open carefully, gathered the flesh into a small handful, and put it in front of Gu Xiaolu: "I can't roast meat tonight, so eat some of these to fill your belly."

Gu Xiaolu didn't pick it up, but took out a raw sweet potato and gnawed it silently.

Ji Huaifeng heard the sound of him biting sweet potatoes, and snatched them over: "Don't eat raw! It will cause diarrhea!"

Gu Xiaolu chuckled: "What are you afraid of, I've eaten raw meat, and it doesn't taste as good as this." Said nonchalantly, he touched another one and gnawed on it.

Ji Huaifeng had no choice but to hold the small handful of walnuts in front of him again: "Then eat this first, it's not convenient for me to carry." Gu Xiaolu snorted, took the walnuts, and took the walnuts that Ji Huaifeng had just confiscated. The sweet potatoes were also taken back.Ji Huaifeng shouted: "Hey, I said you—" Gu Xiaolu snorted and laughed: "I bitten this one, do you want to eat my saliva?"

Ji Huaifeng's ears turned red instantly.

After a moment he said, "If I want to eat, I'll do it more directly."

"To be more specific?" Gu Xiaolu asked while munching on walnuts.
