Those young people were finally let out. They had no supplies, and they were kicked out when the sun was hottest. Even if they were still ignorant, they knew that this was sending them to die.

So they changed their minds, but they were unwilling to leave and wanted to stay.

"I still feel like a baby." The bearded man rolled his eyes, took a mouthful of rice, and said while chewing, "I want us to raise them for nothing."

Little Eyes answered, "Whatever they are doing, if they have no guns or knives, just drive them out, and dare to come and confront us head-on?"

They don't care what happens to these young people when they leave.

If that group of young people won the fight, they probably would have died long ago. Think about the consequences before doing something, and you have to bear it if you do it.

"Brother Yan, what do you eat?" The bearded man sniffed his nose. They have eaten a lot better recently. There are rice and pickles, but if there are more, they will be gone. Rice is a good thing, and the city lords of many big cities can't afford it now. They have nothing to be dissatisfied with, the bearded man looked envious, "It smells so good."

Small eyes whispered: "It was Zheng Xue who brought Brother Yan a bowl of braised pork."

The bearded man opened his eyes wide: "Where did the meat come from? No, she has also taken a fancy to our Brother Yan?"

Small eyes: "Are you stupid? Where did she get the meat? Besides, can she argue with Bai Yi? It must be Bai Yi who asked her to help bring it over."

"You haven't seen that meat just now. It's so fried with sugar, it's the best pork belly." Small eyes drool, "With that aroma, I can eat two more bowls of rice."

When the meat was served, the bowls were piled up to the point, it was bright red, the pig skin was crystal clear, fat and thin, as if it could be scattered with a chopstick, it was cooked through at a glance, if you took a bite, It is estimated that the flesh can melt in the mouth in an instant.

Braised pork in braised pork is good if it is fat or thin, the fat is too greasy, and the skinny is too thin. Only the best pork belly is made with good craftsmanship, so that it can be articulate, even if you eat it empty-handed, you will not feel bored.

There was such a bowl of braised pork in front of Yan Ling, and the brothers next to him were staring at the bowl of meat like hungry wolves, their chopsticks were all about to move, as if they were just waiting for Yan Ling to say "you can eat too", they You can pick up your chopsticks and go to the battlefield.

The most basic pursuit of a person's life is food, clothing, housing and transportation. Food ranks first, so it's no wonder they have green eyes.

However, Yan Ling, who has always had no appetite, didn't let them take the meat over this time.

Instead, he picked up a pair of chopsticks, and the meat shook tremblingly twice on the chopsticks. Yan Ling took the first bite, and what he ate was a layer of soft pigskin, not very chewy, but very chewy. The aroma quickly disappeared in the mouth, and so did the meat. The fat and thin meat slid down the throat before the taste was tasted.

So this night, Yan Ling ate all the braised pork by himself.

Only a group of big men around him looked at him with envy and hatred.

"If someone likes me and sends me delicious food and meat every day, I would have washed myself and sent him to bed." The younger brother bit his lip, held back his saliva, and looked in Yan Ling's direction eagerly .

Another younger brother: "Don't think too much, do you have a boss who is handsome or a boss who is powerful?"

The younger brother is not happy: "Maybe someone likes my style, who can recognize heroes with discerning eyes."

The person next to him made a gesture of vomiting.

Bai Yi recuperated for a week, and finally he was able to walk freely. He himself was also worried about the sequelae, so he didn't need to be reminded by others, and he paid attention to it. Although he still walks a little crookedly now, it is very slight and can't be seen easily. It will take another ten and a half days full recovery in a month.

"What are you doing?" Zheng Xue asked strangely seeing that Bai Yi was busy in the kitchen, and it was not time for meal.

In addition to farming, these women usually do manual work, weaving rattan frames or sewing clothes, and knitting sweaters for winter. Now there are not many ready-made clothes, and clothes are also materials. They were searched and cleaned up a few years ago. Now If you want a new dress, that is more difficult than going to heaven.

Some large cities can store several warehouses of clothes.

As long as there are useful things, there are people who want them.

Nobody cares if it's a necessity.

On the other hand, I don’t have much wool, and it’s convenient to make clothes. Wool takes up space and I can’t be sure someone will weave it. Most people can knit scarves and gloves, but not necessarily clothes.

Seeing that the autumn tiger is coming, it will be winter in less than a month.

The winter at the end of the day is tough, and many people die almost every year. The more warm clothes the better, even if it is inconvenient to move around, it is better than losing your life.

Boyi is baking cakes, the simplest dry cakes, which can be stored for a month or two at room temperature. It is a popular dry food from ancient times to the present.

Zheng Xue took a closer look and asked strangely, "Why are you doing this?"

Bai Yi was a little tired, and yawned: "Winter is coming, and the progress of the city wall is too slow. I guess Yan Ling and the others are going to go out to find someone to come back."

It's hard to live anywhere in winter, so there will be more bandits. If you want to fix the city wall before winter, you need more people.

Fortunately, this town is very small, with only one street, and there is still hope that the city wall can be removed before winter.

Zheng Xue: "I know how to roast Mahua, do you want it?"

Bai Yi smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together."

Zheng Xue looked at Bai Yi's smiling face, and the expression on his face became gentle. She felt that Bai Yi was probably born to be a person who would not get angry. He always looked gentle and gentle, neither angry nor angry. Will not find faults, everyone is the same, neither climbing high nor stepping low.

What you do to others is what you do to her.

Such a quality is rare, and she has never seen many such people in her life.

"You bring him meals every day, and I haven't seen him come to see you." Zheng Xue was doing nothing for Bai Yi while kneading the dough. She almost regarded herself as Bai Yi's older sister. Caring, "Men are stinky things. When you get close, he treats himself like an onion. When you stay far away, he catches up."

"Let me tell you, you can't be so kind to him. You are so kind to him now, what should you do if you are really together in the future?"

With some flour on his face, Bai Yi said indifferently, "Then I can treat him better."

Zheng Xue said helplessly, "Just don't let yourself get hurt."

He was the first person she met here. He selflessly took her and Haohao in and gave them food. He never beat, scolded or insulted him, nor was he superior. I thought he was a decent person.

How rare and precious is such a person?

She was afraid that Bai Yi would be hurt by Yan Ling, and that a precious person would be ruined by a relationship.

Bai Yi didn't know what she was thinking, nor did she know that she was worrying about herself, he just looked at the side of the pot and managed the fire.

This scone was made by him as a snack before. It is very hard and durable. When you want to eat it, you can cut it off with a knife and eat it with water. Although it is hard and dry, it is very fragrant. In addition to sugar, the degree of roasting is also very important.

It is best to bake it in the fire. The crust is browned, but the core inside is white. It is not only chewy, but also sweet. The crust on the outside is dry, but the core inside is moist.

However, there is an oven at home, but here you can only use the stove, stick the cake to the side of the pot, and bake it slowly on a low fire, otherwise it will not be easy to master.

Zheng Xue’s roasting twist is simpler. Her skills are average, but because the noodles are good and the heat is not over, the roasted twist is fragrant and crispy, but it is not very durable. Such twist will become damp and soft in three days. It can only be eaten immediately, and the freshly baked ones are the most delicious.

Zheng Xue was very regretful: "It's just that there is no sesame, otherwise it would be fragrant after frying and sprinkling it on."

She remembered that before the end of the world, besides working, she would cook some food at home. Her daily life was simple but satisfying.

Bai Yi ate a twist and smiled at Zheng Xue: "It's very fragrant and delicious."

So twisted doughnuts became the consolation item of the day. Yan Ling’s people no longer farmed the land. They were all young and strong men who went to build the city wall. Cement and bricks are not difficult to find. Find one in the nearby villages and towns. A lot can be pulled back by searching, but there is no car, so it can only be pulled by manpower.

These men now go out before dawn and rest only after dark, but no one complains.

What's the matter?Now there is food and drink, and broken clothes are mended. Although I have to do heavy work every day, it was not easy when I was not working. There is a place to stop. Brothers gather together and don’t have to worry about what to eat tomorrow. what a day

Bai Yi's legs are not healed yet, so he doesn't need to work. When his legs are fully healed, he can decide what to do.

However, it is estimated that the city wall has been built by then, and there will not be too many people in the field, so we can only see if there are any new jobs at that time.

Although Bai Yi is not working now, no one sees him as unhappy. After all, all the supplies in the town belong to him. Without him, there would be no white rice and noodles, no farming tools, and no most important medicines.

They also recognized Bai Yi's courage, daring to chase up the mountain alone, such courage is rare among ordinary people.

Even Leizi feels that although he is heterosexual, if someone treats him like Bai Yi treats Yan Ling, maybe he can bend over.

Leizi took the bamboo basket from Bai Yi, lifted the cloth and took a look, and found that it was a basket of twisted doughnuts.

It was still fragrant, and he pressed his tongue against the palate, afraid that the saliva would flow out, and it would be too ugly in front of a group of younger brothers.

"Sister Zheng made it, let you all eat it." Bai Yi said with a smile, "Don't keep it for too long, it will be crispy when eaten fresh, and it will be soft after two days."

Leizi could only say a short sentence: "Okay, thank you."

Bai Yi: "You're welcome, don't forget to get some for Yan Ling."

This is your purpose, right?No wonder I came here for a walk.

Leizi watched Bai Yi go away, his heart was full of envy and hatred, he felt that he was no worse than Yan Ling, why didn't he meet someone like this?

There is delicious food every day, and he doesn't care if the other party takes the lead!

"Leave tomorrow?" Bai Yi took the excuse of delivering scones and sat next to Yan Ling. Yan Ling was used to running around, and his skin was a healthy wheat color, which made Bai Yibai sitting next to him even more attractive.

Bai Yi frowned: "It's been cloudy for the past few days, and I'm worried that it will rain for the next two days."

Now that there is no weather forecast, I can only speculate on the weather.

However, Yan Ling has made up his mind and will not be distracted by foreign objects. He didn't look at Bai Yi, but only looked at the brothers who were busy in the distance: "It's better to start early."

Bai Yi knew he couldn't persuade him: "Bring some thick clothes, if the temperature cools down early, you should come back quickly."

Yan Ling nodded: "I know."

Bai Yi looked at Yan Ling, and Yan Ling could feel Bai Yi's gaze resting on his face.

He didn't know why Bai Yi loved him, and he didn't know how to respond.

Maybe it's best not to respond.

Only care about yourself is the best.

Yan Ling suddenly said: "No matter who you meet in the future, you must first plan for yourself."

He turned his head and looked at Bai Yi, who still had a smile on his face. He had seen many people with smiles on their faces, gentle, simple and honest, all kinds of people, but under their gentle appearance, they all had a heart. A heart that is no different from ordinary people.

There is no truly unselfish person, and no truly gentle and kind person.

But Yan Ling became more and more uncertain.

Bai Yi is like someone who shouldn't exist, he is an outlier in this cruel world.

Yan Ling stood up suddenly: "I'm leaving."

Bai Yi smiled and said, "Be careful, I'll wait for you here."

Before Yan Ling left, he took a deep look at Bai Yi.

But he no longer dared to hold Bai Yi's outstretched hand. His dead parents and friends who were willing to stab him in the ribs became untouchable in his heart, and he couldn't bear the same pain again.

I also don't want the other party to bear it.

Maybe one day he will die in a place that no one knows, in an extremely ordinary |fight, on an ordinary day.

No one should wait for him, no one should be sad for him.

In the afternoon, Yan Ling led the people away. They could not travel in the daytime. Although it was cold at night, it was much better than the ultraviolet rays in the daytime. Each of them carried a huge backpack with dry food and clothes in it. With a tent and a flashlight.

The big beard and small eyes remained, and the five of them wanted to stay in the town to protect the town from being invaded by outsiders.

Bai Yi wanted to go out with Yan Ling and the others, but he was rejected so many times that he gave up.

I just hope that Yan Ling can come back safely, and if he hasn't come back by the time, he will go find him.

The bearded men had a lot of confidence in Yan Ling.

"Brother Yan is very powerful, don't worry about him." The bearded man said with a smile, "We didn't have guns before, and we only had a few knives. We can only survive because of Brother Yan."

"Brother Yan is different from us. He can hit ten of them, and he is very ruthless, but he never beat us brothers."

While eating the noodles cooked by Bai Yi, Xiaoyan said without raising his head: "Brother Yan looks unkind, but he is actually very affectionate."

"Six of our brothers died last year. Brother Yan dug their graves with his own hands, and we didn't speak for weeks."

People who are passionate are the people who live the most tiring life, Bai Yibi knows this truth.

He has always been a fickle person, seemingly considerate and delicate, but he really doesn't care about anything, nothing can make him regret, he lives very easily.

Xiaoyan drank the last sip of noodle soup: "I thought at the time, when I die, with Brother Yan around, I will definitely not be able to die in the wilderness."

Small eyes: "If you really catch Brother Yan, he will definitely treat you well."

After the apocalypse came, the previous conventions and conventions disappeared, and people no longer felt that homosexuality was not in line with the laws of nature, nor that homosexuality was sick. Everyone was so busy with their lives that they really had no time to care about other people's affairs.

Many people even think that it is good for two men to live together. After all, both of them are strong laborers, can do many things, and can relax a lot for each other.

With small eyes, he thought it would be nice to find a man, and he never thought about finding a woman to start a family. He couldn't afford that, and he didn't think he was capable of supporting a child.

Bai Yi also discovered that they look for a male partner not necessarily because they like men, but because being with a man can not only solve their physical needs, but also reduce stress and burden. They don't have to worry about what will happen to their partner after they die, and they don't have any worries.

To be precise, they are just weighing the pros and cons, not relying on feelings.

The bearded man rolled his eyes: "I still want to find a woman. I didn't have any conditions before. Now we live here. I will marry a wife and work together. When I have a child, I will have a family."

The small eyes muttered and did not speak.

Bai Yi saw it, the small eyes probably had already found a partner, and the target was the bearded man.

It's a pity that the bearded man is not interested in him, so he winks at the blind man.

But he didn't feel sorry for the small eyes, because the small eyes chose the big beard not because they had real feelings for the big beard.

It's just because the bearded man is the most suitable person around him to be a partner.

People are so straightforward sometimes.

Usually, Bai Yi would also go to farm, but because of the lack of land, he finished the work in half a day, and sometimes he didn't do any work for a day.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes don't need too much care. Boyi took out the seeds and planted some cabbage on a small piece of land, which can be picked in about a month. When the time comes, it can be made into sauerkraut, and there will be another side dish on the table in winter.

Bai Yi really wanted to get more soil out, but it was too eye-catching, so he had to give up.

Sometimes Bai Yi would go with them to tidy up the cellar, where food for the winter is stored. The cellar already existed in the town, and the cement was used, and the surroundings are very smooth, which is cleaner and dry than the cellar without cement. , which is full of durable food such as plastic-wrapped dried noodles.

Also includes a whole bunch of instant noodles, and some seasonings.

One can find solace here by looking at what is in the cellar.

There was food, plenty of food, enough to get them through the winter, so how could that not make them happy?

What more could one ask for?

However, in winter, apart from clothes for heating, we burn wood for heating. There is no kang here, and the smell of burning wood is strong, but there is no place to buy carbon, let alone coal.

"You can burn a brazier in the yard during the day." Zheng Xue didn't take it seriously. She came here in the past few winters. Sometimes she didn't even have firewood. If two people sleep together, it won't be so cold when two people sleep together."

Zheng Xue: "Cover up a few more quilts, don't wear thick pajamas, just get closer to each other."

Zheng Xue said with a smile: "It's best if you have a lover. Hugging together without clothes is the warmest."

She was teasing Bai Yi.

However, Bai Yi's face was not red at all, and he nodded seriously, "This is a good idea."

Could it be that Zheng Xue was a little more lively, she winked and said to Bai Yi: "Brother Yan is full of tendons, so he must be warm."

Bai Yi: "...you are right."

I can't think about it, Bai Yi's heart gets hot when he thinks about it.

He would imagine the scene where they were chatting under the quilt.

Maybe do something else...

For Bai Yi, who has been a vegetarian for so long and is in his prime, the stimulation is too great to bear even thinking about it.

Bai Yi smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after Yan Ling comes back safely."

Zheng Xue: "Yes, let's talk about it later."

After a week of resting during the day and traveling at night, Yan Ling finally brought his people to a big city. This big city was originally a county seat, which was completely incomparable with a town or village. Moreover, there was a water source here, and it was a place with abundant groundwater. , so the population is also large.

As the population increased, the city quickly became chaotic, and the order changed a lot.

There are also some businesses that have sprung up—supplies can be exchanged for whatever you want.

including people.

"I don't know what the price is now." The younger brother who used to live here said, "But it's not too expensive. Don't look at the city, it still has underground water, but it's almost dry."

"With so many people, the potting soil collected at that point cannot support them."

This city can provide labor to other cities, which can be leased or bought out directly.

Generally, no one would rent it. There is always a day to repay the loan. If you don’t repay it, there will be a fierce battle. But if you repay it, you will be showing the secrets of your own city to others, and the risk factor is too high.

It is not difficult to enter the city. They only need to use the goods as collateral, the number of people registered and some characteristics of each person, and then pay an entry fee to enter the city.

The entry fee is not money, but supplies, food, water or clothing, etc. can be used.

They just gave [-] dry biscuits, which is a big deal. After all, they are made of white flour. Those who can eat white flour now are all the management of a big city, and they have to be at the top.

Those in charge of registration will never hand over these pies, and they don't have to worry about attracting attention.

Yan Ling was walking on the road in the county town, where many people could not find work, and without work, there would be no food, and they could only rely on some jobs they found occasionally to earn rations and save some food, so they could not see a healthy body along the way The people in the group were all thin and skinny, with panic-stricken faces. When they saw Yan Ling and his party, the passers-by chose to avoid them and stay away from them.

There are also young children on the street, with big heads and swollen bellies, running around barefoot. If someone sees them pitiful, they will give them some food, so their parents will not stop them from running on the street .

Because there are no cars, there is no need to worry about danger on the street.

Don't even worry about human traffickers - such a young child can't do work, and has to be fed with food, human traffickers don't want it.

Yan Ling and the others have long been used to such scenes. This big city is not bad, at least there are no dead people on the roadside.

They have been to other cities, there are rotting corpses on the side of the road, covered with flies, people walk on the road like walking dead, although the people here are also emaciated, but it is better than walking dead.

"Brother Yan, how many people should we replace this time?"

Yan Ling: "100 people."

They have guns in their hands, and they can manage 100 people. If there are more, they have to worry that someone inside will have bad intentions.

Leizi asked: "Brother Yan, why don't you stay here for a few more days."

After all, it is a big city, and there are still some entertainment activities.

However, Yan Ling said indifferently: "Go back after finishing the work."

The longer he was out, the more worried he became. Only the five of them with Big Beard stayed in the town. What if they were in danger?

If he went back, that person didn't wait for him.

What should I do?
