Embers Ad Infinitum

　　 Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong swept around, and the two things that impressed the residents of Shuiwei Town the most:

　　 Everyone wears a variety of clothes, as if they come from different places, and there are many patches; the body is dirty, the hands are dirty, the face is dirty, the hair is dirty, and the clothes are dirty.

　　 In addition to these two points, fatigue, thinness, and not height are more common things.

The townspeople looked at the outsiders and saw that Tian Erhe was also there. They stopped paying attention or worrying. They went back to their homes, or moved out of the stove, lighted a fire to cook, or carefully harvested grain mixed with chaff. A bowl came out, poured it into a pot, or just took cold water, eating half of Lengwowotou left over at noon... The whole Shuiwei town gradually filled with the smell of cooking smoke and food.

　　 Tian Erhe noticed Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong's observation of the residents in the town, and asked with a smile:

　　 "How is it? Did you see anything?"

　　 Long Yuehong opened her mouth, and felt that it seemed impolite to tell her impressions directly, so she closed her mouth again and thought about it.

　　 Shang Jian Yao retracted his gaze and said frankly:

　　 "Not clean."

　　 "It's not clean...hey." Tian Erhe gave a low smile, "Compared with you, it must be unclean."

　　Although Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian and others had done tumbling in previous battles, and there were many mud and stains on their bodies, they habitually wiped their faces clean when they were hydrated on the way.

　　 Without waiting for Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen to interrupt, Tian Erhe pointed his chin to the middle of the square:

"Although our Shuiwei town does not lack clean water sources, charcoal still has to be saved. I read in the book that excessive cutting of trees will make the land less fertile. Therefore, we must go to prevent them from cutting trees nearby. a place far away.

　　"Occasionally I can get coal from the smuggling caravan, it's like a Chinese New Year, you know, there is a lot of coal on the "White Knights".

　　 "Oh, it's okay in summer. You can wash it directly with cold water. In autumn, you can only endure it as much as possible. It's better to be dirty than to get sick. If you can't stand it, just boil a pot of water and wipe your body."

　　 At this point, Tian Erhe paused, and his smile became complicated:

　　 "Besides, they are busy from morning to night every day, when they can rest, who has that energy?"

　　Long Yuehong suddenly remembered the training of the previous two months: He and Shang Jianyao were exhausted by Jiang Baimian every day. After returning home, they just wanted to lie on the bed and did nothing.

　　 But "Pangu Bio" has a staff canteen inside. He and Shang Jianyao can take the lunch box directly or not take it at all and go to the canteen to eat ready-made food without having to work hard.

　　 "No wonder." He expressed his understanding.

　　 Seeing Yao didn't say anything, Shang nodded silently.

　　 Jiang Baimian gave him a smile:

　　 "I thought you would ask them why they don't use cold water in winter. This seems to effectively promote blood circulation and improve their own resistance."

　　 "Physique is too bad." Shang Jianyao replied seriously.

　　 At this time, a member of the town guard with the nickname "Gouzi" ran over holding the stove of Tian Erhe's house, carrying a small bag of charcoal on his back.

　　 He was very expressive and helped to set the fire, and then took the initiative to join the patrol team in charge of the surrounding area, and he didn't want to leave.

This is not because he is eager to get some canned braised beef, but compared to most of the girls in town, Bai Chen and Jiang Baimian, whose hair and face are neatly cleaned, are more attractive to young men, especially Jiang Bai Cotton, tall and long legs, has been genetically modified since the embryo. In the eyes of these town guard boys, they are as beautiful as a fairy, making them just want to move around.

On the dust, the relationship between men and women is not so conservative. Even after only a few minutes of acquaintance, as long as you see the right eye, you can still roll the sheets. Therefore, the members of the town guard who are patrolling and guarding around are holding their heads up Chest, show yourself to your heart's content.

　　 Jiang Baimian glanced, almost amused by them.

　　 She didn't take care of it, walked to the trunk of the jeep, and took out four more military cans.

　　 "Do you want a pot? Do you want a pot? There are also bowls and chopsticks, do you want?" Tian Erhe asked with bright eyes.

　　 "Yes, this is much more convenient than our lunch box." Jiang Baimian didn't dislike it at all.

　　 "Coyote! Quickly, get my pot and dishes! Count how many people there are!" Tian Erhe immediately raised his voice.

　　 The town guard member with the nickname "Gouzi" agreed quickly, and it didn't take long for him to hold a black iron pot with five sets of bowls and chopsticks in it.

After 　　 helped set the pot, he glanced at Jiang Baimian, and spoke weakly at Tian Erhe Road:

　　 "Mayor, can you, can you stop calling my nickname? I'm twenty..."

"What's wrong? I watched your dad grow up. I still call him his nickname now!" Tian Erhe blew his beard and stared back, then waved his hand. Eat, no, chat."

　　 Shang Jian Yao kept staring at the pot, and found that the bowl inside was light blue with very delicate patterns, and the chopsticks were ivory white, without any flaws.

　　 This is much better than the tableware of most of the employees of Pangu Bio.

　　 Tian Erhe glanced at him, then laughed:

　　 "What? I think this bowl is not big enough?"

　　 "He thinks it is too good and too delicate." Jiang Baimian rushed to help Shang Jian Yao to answer the question, as if he was afraid that he would say something impolite.

　　 Shang saw Yao and it was no surprise, nodding his head to show that this was his own thought.

　　 The next second, he looked at Jiang Baimian, closed his mouth tightly, and whimpered for a while.

　　 Everyone was astonished, and he asked Jiang Baimian:

　　 "Guess what I just wanted to say?"

　　 "...How can this be guessed?" Jiang Baimian's expression was a little sluggish, and he barely kept smiling.

　　"Didn't you guess very accurately just now?" Shang Jianyao was rather regretful.

　　 Jiang Baimian took a breath and exhaled slowly:

　　 "If it weren't for you, I would definitely think it was angry at what happened just now."

When 　　 spoke, she was not staring at Shang Jian Yao's eyes, but at the top of his head, as if she wanted to come.

　　 Tian Erhe watched their interaction with a strange expression, and finally smiled:

　　 "The atmosphere inside you, it seems, seems very relaxed and lively."

　　 "It's mainly because he occasionally twitches his brain, um, that's it." Jiang Baimian emphasized solemnly, and Bai Chenxin nodded sadly.

　　 Shang Jian Yao immediately responded:

　　 "How do you know that I am not deliberately enlivening the atmosphere?"

　　 "...Try to keep it." Jiang Baimian rubbed his teeth.

　　 Tian Erhe laughed twice, picked up a pair of chopsticks and said:

　　"These are all taken from the ruins of old world cities. There are too many similar things there, and they are of little value in themselves.

　　 "The hunters of the relics came over through mountains and rivers, who would like to carry a backpack and a cart of dishes and chopsticks back?"

　　 Jiang Baimian listened very carefully, and sent out with feelings:

　　 "Indeed, there are still many things buried in the ruins of the old world cities. Um...they are not available at the moment, it doesn't mean they are worthless."

　　 While talking, Jiang Baimian poured five cans into the pot.

"Mayor, before you heat up the can, can you talk about the things in the old world and what happened to you at the time?" Jiang Baimian threw the canned shell aside, and graciously turned the brownish to black one. Ye Ziyan handed it to Tian Erhe.

　　 Tian Erhe took the leaf smoke and lit it with the charcoal fire in the stove.

　　 After Meimei took a sip, Tian Erhe narrowed his eyes and said:

　　 "My biggest wish now is to smoke three times a year. This is the second time this year."

After 　　 sighed, he looked around, showing a reminiscence expression:

　　 "When the old world was destroyed, I was only in my early 10s, and I was still a, huh, elementary school student."

"My mother is a teacher of a junior high school in the city, and my dad is an employee of a government unit. At that time, it was just the winter vacation, and the weather was a little bit colder than it should be now. It may be more than a little bit. It's late, and my dad gets busier as it gets closer to the end of the year. No one is watching me at home, so they took advantage of the weekend to send me to my grandfather's house, which is in the village not far from Shuiwei Town.

　　 "I remember it very clearly. They said that after waiting eight days, they would pick me and my grandpa and grandma back to the city for the New Year.

　　 "Oh, at that time, I was wild and ran around in the village, but I still missed home every night, and I would look at the calendar. My father and mother would pick me up as long as there are days left.

"On the morning of the penultimate day, a few friends and I wanted to go fishing by the river, but they were blocked by the adults. They could only go to play near a very shallow stream. Then, after hearing the explosion, I felt that the whole ground was covered. Shaking.

　　 "I was so frightened, I just want to go back to my grandpa's house and never go out again.

　　 "The explosions came after another, becoming more and more violent~www.readwn.com~ Cough, cough, I even think it was accompanied by a high-level earthquake."

　　Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, Jiang Baimian and others listened attentively. Tian Erhe stretched out his hand and grilled the fire and continued to recall:

　　 "There is a section in the middle. I don't know why I fainted. Maybe it was caught by the air wave from the explosion. Anyway, I woke up without any injuries.

　　 "After I woke up, I continued to run back and saw that my grandpa's house collapsed... They didn't have time to run out...

　　 "At that time, my grandpa and grandma were much younger than I am now, raising chickens, growing vegetables, and doing everything.

"Ah, let’s not talk about this. There were still many people alive in the village. I followed those uncles, aunts, grandparents all the way to the town. There are still many intact houses in the town, but we didn’t choose them. Here, because of the open land, you can live in a tent temporarily without worrying about the house collapsing.

　　 "At that time, the communication was also broken, and there was no signal. Everyone just waited here, waiting for rescue, waiting for help, but unfortunately, I haven't waited until..."

　　 Tian Erhe's voice gradually became lower, and it seems that until now, I still remember the panic and despair.

"There are a few uncles and aunts who don’t want to wait any longer, go to the supermarket, go to some people’s house, collect some food, try to leave Shuiwei Town, go to the city. I, I also followed them, hoping to return to my dad Don't laugh around my mother, this is a child's very instinctive choice.

　　 "We drove for a while, climbed the broken road, walked for a long time, and finally arrived in the city.

　　 "Here, here, it's more terrifying..."

　　 Tian Erhe's eyes gradually lost focus.

　　 He seemed to be in a nightmare that he could not get rid of again in his whole life.
