Doomsday Wonderland

…Bohemia has never seen so much of herself in her life.

Surrounded by a mountain of photo albums, flipping through photos one by one, the afternoon passed quickly. She was sitting cross-legged on the floor in the living room. The photo album in her hand was initially so brightly reflected by the sunlight outside the window that she could barely see the people in the photos. Later, the reflection weakened and the image gradually became clearer; until the face gradually faded into the shadow, the setting sun finally touched the horizon heavily, and everything was covered with a cool dark blue veil.

I'm afraid Lin Sanjiu won't be able to wait for any water for a while...

Bohemia put the photo album aside and rubbed her eyes. This copy probably took her a long time. She and Yuan Xiangxi looked at the photos all afternoon, and there was no more weirdness in the house. As Yuan Xiangxi said, her photos always appear in large numbers in every album, including group photos, solo photos, and snapshots. She has the largest number of photos among all family members.

After looking at at least hundreds of her own faces in one breath, Bohemia was almost out of breath. It seems that she has really lived this kind of life without knowing it: in the photo, she laughs easily, with her long hair flying in the bright sunshine; her skin is tanned to a shiny wheat color, He raised his head and opened his mouth to pick up a red apple hanging from the branch.

...Is life before the apocalypse so carefree? Bohemia took another look at the photo of herself holding an apple - in this photo, she was being held high in Yuan Xiangxi's arms, with her legs sitting in his arms; she smiled so hard that her eyes were bent. With the crescent moon, Yuan Xiangxi looked up at her, as if there was a star caught by him accidentally in his arms.

This is certainly not surprising.

In most of the photos, there is Yuan Xiangxi next to her - the latter's photos are only about a hundred less than hers. After an afternoon, Bohemia is also very familiar with his appearance. Familiar. If he still looks a little light and pale in person, then what he shows in the photo is his original vivid appearance: after drinking several glasses of wine during the festival, his cheeks are rosy and his lips are watery. His eyes were almost brighter than the stars; in the past few years, he had tried several hairstyles, long and short, and none of them suited him. They always made his bones thin and smooth, like a fallen immortal.

"I said, since Bao'er's photo is gone, maybe it's not because she is dead."

Bohemia smoothly put the photo into her pocket, but she still said mercilessly: "You have a very dark mind, didn't you notice? We didn't take many photos of children to begin with."

Indeed, compared with this happy couple, their children seem to be just accessories.

As Boa grows older, there are fewer and fewer photos of her - it should be "she". Bohemia is still a little unsure of the child's gender, because Boa always looks stiff. She had a round face and the same hairstyle as her father. It was hard to tell whether she was wearing a skirt or wide shorts. When five-year-old Baoer occasionally appeared in photos, he would always ride on Yuan Xiangxi's shoulders and wrap his arms around his neck; after he turned six, photos of Baoer disappeared completely.

The second child is a boy, probably because as the second son, it is not so new to the parents, and there is no name written on the back of the photo; the third child is a daughter, when she was still a toddler, All family photo records were discontinued.

"Do you think that maybe after having the second and third children, we don't bother to take pictures of the children anymore? We just take pictures of ourselves...?" Yuan Xiangxi put down a stack of Baoer's photos in his hand and stood up. He went to find the light switch and said, "No way? I always feel like I would be a more loving father."

"You are no one's father," Bohemia said to him and stood up. As soon as evening arrived, the temperature quickly cooled down, and the trees and wheat fields outside the window darkened into a deep black shadow. She walked behind Yuan Xiangxi and watched him click the switch several times in succession. , the living room was still lifelessly immersed in darkness.

"Maybe the wire is broken," he turned around and warned, "You wait in the house, I'll go to the back to see if the backup generator can be used."

"Then let's go catch fish? Let's make dinner together, okay?"

Yuan Xiangxi glanced at her and stopped with one foot in the air, as if she was a ghost: "The ones caught in the dungeon are probably dungeon creatures... Do you want to eat them too?"

Bohemia rubbed her eyebrows a few times, lowered her head and took a breath. When she raised her head again, she put on a fierce look again: "Hurry up and see the engine!"

As soon as the door closed behind Yuan Xiangxi, she ran up to the second floor. There was no electric light, so she still had light fish; sitting in the swimming light, she opened her diary again.

I am pregnant

These four words float naked in the center of the page, with a blank space above and a blank space below. After flipping through several pages, they were all blank pages without a single word. When Bohemia was wondering, she suddenly said "Ah": "...it turns out you jumped several pages."

"Why is it so sudden?"

The first paragraph after pregnancy is also only a few lines. If the dates in each paragraph were not different, it would really look like a small paragraph in the entire diary. "I really didn't expect it at all... I feel like I'm still a child. Can I raise another child? Or should I abort it??"

"Sure enough, it is impossible not to want this child. ... Part of his bloodline is slowly growing in my belly at this moment. Now he is literally circling around me all the time. Even when I take a breath, I am afraid that I will choke. ."

"Today my chest feels swollen and I feel uncomfortable when I walk. I have started to feel nauseous recently. I feel nauseous no matter what I smell or do... Even when he leaned over to kiss the small mole on my neck today, I was When it touched his throat, he retched. The look on his face at that time was so aggrieved, and I feel sad just thinking about it now..."

Aren’t these two tired of each other? Bohemia touched her neck uncomfortably.

Perhaps due to the poor condition of her first pregnancy, the hostess's handwriting gradually began to become messy and scrawled. Sometimes she would just write a few hasty sentences; sometimes she would go for two weeks without writing anything. In the written content, physical condition, physiological reactions, and pregnancy matters accounted for more than 90% of the space. For the rest, I never forgot to mention a few words: "He is so good-looking, it would be great if the child looked like him", " Although it’s very uncomfortable, I really want to give birth to his child” and other words, Bohemia’s face felt a little hot.

In the few days after giving birth to the baby, the diary was empty again - this is normal. What mother would have the strength and thought to write a diary at this time?

Bohemia looked up at the clock on the wall. Yuan Xiangxi had been gone for about ten minutes, and she could vaguely hear the muffled sound of the generator behind the house; in order to prevent her from not finishing it when he came back, she quickly scanned all the content after giving birth to Baoer. She read it once - there isn't much content, most of it is about her feelings as a new mother and her deep love for her newborn daughter; the other half is still recording the relationship between her and her husband.

"I stumbled over a few words today,"

One of the passages rarely begins like this. Not only is the writing deeply and vigorously engraved on the paper, but the content also has a bit of a mundane tackiness: "I'm so unhappy now. I actually don't want to leave him for a moment, but since Bao'er was born, , my mother only met her once when she came to see me... What if she doesn't go home to see her grandma????????????? Mom will feel that it is not enough just to see the photos we sent back. It’s not my fault that he can’t leave during this period!”

Bohemia looked at it and saw that it was in 1.

She took another look at the string of "?????????????" - the dots under each question mark were heavily stuck into the paper, and a few of the dots even scratched the paper.

In the next week or two, the matter of returning to her parents' home was never mentioned again. Perhaps the couple came to a conclusion through discussion, and the content returned to sweet happiness and daily trivial matters. When Bao'er was one and a half years old, this diary was used to the last page.

The last paragraph is like this: "This diary is finished! I didn't expect that two years have passed so quickly. I am so sad! I will continue to keep a diary when I have my next child!"

... Are there other diaries here?

Bohemia turned the last page and gently touched the bulge protruding from the back of the page with the writing. It was a bit like saying goodbye to an old friend, and she felt a little sad.

She stuffed the diary back into the depth of the drawer. While looking for other diaries, she also randomly cleaned up the mess she had made, but could not find the second diary. With the light cast by the swaying body of the fish, Most of the furniture in the bedroom was dimly reflected, and UU read www.uukanshu.net in half light and half darkness. She glanced around and saw that outside the half-open bedroom door, the corridor was dark and quiet.

"Yuan Xiangxi?"

When Bohemia walked down the stairs, the light fish also flicked its tail and swam up, cruising back and forth overhead, reflecting the light and shadow everywhere, as if each staircase was alive. When she walked to the door of the living room on the first floor, she vaguely saw a figure sitting on the sofa in the darkness. Hearing her footsteps, the figure slowly turned his head towards her in the darkness.

...The head seems a bit too big compared to the shoulders.

"...Why did it take you so long to get a generator? Is there still no power?"

The guy made no sound when he walked, no wonder she didn't hear him coming home - Bohemia went down the stairs, and then suddenly felt something was wrong: Judging from the size of the figure compared to the head and body, it couldn't be an adult.

"Bao, Bao'er?"

Her voice couldn't help but shriek; the light fish followed her instructions and swam into the living room in a flash, illuminating the empty beige sofa, even the texture of the cloth and an occasional stain were clearly reflected .

Bohemia suddenly turned around and quickly looked towards the dim corner that was not illuminated by the light fish. She was almost convinced that the dark little figure was standing outside the light - she turned around a few times, her goosebumps The pimple slowly subsided.

There was no one, no one in the living room except her.

The door was pushed open, and the door hinge creaked, making her jump up.

"Bohemia?" Yuan Xiangxi called out, "I found a piece of paper under the generator, which seems to have been left by the previous evolver. Come and take a look... Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Bohemia herself didn't know what had happened - before she could react, she had already rushed out and jumped into his arms.
