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

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

Beyond these two points, fatigue, thinness, and low height are more common things.

The townsmen looked at the outsiders a few times and saw that Tian Erhe was also there, so they no longer paid attention or worry. They returned home, either moved out of the stove, made a fire to cook, or carefully made a bowl of grain mixed with chaff, poured it into the pot, or ate the half-cold steamed bun left at noon... The entire Shuiwei Town gradually smelled of 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? Have you seen something?"

Long Yuehong opened her mouth, feeling that it seemed impolite to speak out her impression directly, so she closed her mouth again and thought about the words.

Shang Jianyao withdrew his gaze and said frankly:

“Not clean.”

"Impurity...hey." Tian Erhe laughed, "Compared with you, it must be unclear."

Although Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian and others had rolled in the previous battle and had mud marks and stains on their bodies, they used to wipe their faces clean when they were hydrating on the way.

Before Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen interrupted, Tian Erhe pointed to the middle of the square with his chin:

"Although our Shuiwei Town does not lack clean water, charcoal still needs to be used for a little bit. I read the book that excessive cutting of trees will make the land less fertile, so they must go far away to prevent them from cutting trees nearby.

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

"Ha, it's okay in summer, you can wash it with cold water. When autumn comes, you can only try to endure it. It's better to get dirty than to get sick. If you really can't stand it, just boil a pot of water and wipe your body."

Speaking of this, Tian Erhe paused for a moment, and his smile became complicated:

"Besides, they are busy from morning to night every day. When they can rest, who still has the energy?"

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

However, there are employees in the canteen inside "Pangu Biology". He and Shang Jianyao can directly take lunch boxes or simply not take them, and go to the canteen to eat ready-made ones without any need to work harder.

"No wonder." He spoke out to his understanding.

Shang Jianyao said nothing and nodded silently.

Jiang Baimian looked at him with a smile:

"I thought you would ask them why they don't wash with cold water in winter, which seems to effectively promote blood circulation and improve their resistance."

"The physical condition is too poor." Shang Jianyao replied seriously.

At this time, members of the town guard, whose nickname is "Douzi", ran over with the stove from Tian Erhe's house, carrying a small bag of charcoal on their backs.

He was very eager to help make the fire, and then took the initiative to join the patrol team responsible for the surrounding areas and was unwilling to leave.

This is not because he longs to get some canned braised beef, but because compared to most girls in the town, Bai Chen, who has clean hair and faces, Jiang Baimian can attract the attention of young men, especially Jiang Baimian, who is tall and long legs, has started to improve genetics since the embryo. In the eyes of these young men in the town guards, they are as beautiful as immortals, making them just want to spin around.

On the dust, the relationship between men and women is not so conservative. Even if you only know each other for a few minutes, you can roll the sheets as long as you see them right. Therefore, the members of the town guard patrolling around and guarding all held their heads and showed themselves to their fullest.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him and almost got amused by them.

She ignored her, walked to the trunk of the jeep, and took out four military cans.

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

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

"Puppy! Hurry up, go and bring my pots and bowls and chopsticks! Count how many people there are yourself!" Tian Erhe immediately raised his voice.

The members of the town guard, whose nickname is "Douzi", agreed quickly. Not long after, they brought a black iron pot with five pairs of bowls and chopsticks in it.

After helping to set up the pot, he secretly glanced at Jiang Baimian and spoke to Tian Erhe in a weak tone:

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

"What's wrong? I've always grown up with your dad. I still call him nickname now!" Tian Erhe replied with a glaring look on his beard, then waved his hand, "Go away, don't affect our meal, no, chat."

Shang Jianyao kept staring at the pot and found that the bowl inside was light green with very delicate patterns, while the chopsticks were ivory white all over, without any flaws.

This is much better than the dishes and chopsticks of most employees of "Pangu Biology".

Tian Erhe glanced at him and laughed:

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

"He thinks it's too good and so exquisite." Jiang Baimian rushed to help Shang Jianyao answer the question, as if he was afraid that he would give him any rude answers.

Shang Jianyao was not surprised and nodded to say that this was his own idea.

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

Everyone was surprised and confused, and he asked Jiang Baimian:

"Guess what I was trying to say just now?"

"...How can I guess this?" Jiang Baimian's expression was a little dull and she barely kept a smile.

"Didn't you guessed very accurately just now?" Shang Jianyao was quite regretful.

Jiang Baimian took a breath and slowly exhaled:

"If it weren't for you, I definitely think this is being angry about what happened just now."

When she was talking, she was not staring at Shang Jianyao's eyes, but on his head, as if she wanted to come for a moment.

Tian Erhe looked at them interacting with a strange expression, and finally smiled:

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

"The main reason is that he occasionally twitches his brain, well, that's it." Jiang Baimian emphasized seriously, and Bai Chenxin nodded with grievance.

Shang Jianyao immediately responded:

"How do you know I'm not trying to liven up the atmosphere?"

"...Try to keep it up." Jiang Baimian grinded his teeth.

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

“It’s all taken back from the ruins of Old World cities, where there are too many things like that and not much value in itself.

"The hunters of the ruins come over the mountains and rivers. Who would like to carry a backpack and a car of bowls and chopsticks back?"

Jiang Baimian listened very seriously and said with emotion:

"Indeed, there are still many things buried in the ruins of the old world. Well... if you don't use them at the moment, it doesn't mean you have no value."

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

"Mayor, before you can warm up the can, can you tell me about the old world and what happened to you?" Jiang Baimian threw the canned shell next to him and diligently handed the burnt yellow and black leaf cigarette to Tian Erhe.

Tian Erhe took the Ye Ziqiu and lit it with the charcoal fire in the stove.

After Meimei took a breath, Tian Erhe half-squinted his eyes and said:

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

After sighing, he looked around and showed his memory:

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

"My mother is a teacher at the city's junior high school, and my father is an employee of a government unit. At that time, the winter vacation was just on, and the weather was a little colder than it should be now, maybe more than a little. I can't remember why. It might be that the junior high school holiday was later. My father became busier the end of the year, and no one at home took care of me. So they took advantage of the weekend to send me to my grandfather's house, in the village not far from Shuiwei Town.

"I remember it very clearly. They said that if you wait for another eight days, you will come to pick me up and grandma and grandma back to the city for the New Year.

"Haha, it was wild at that time, and I ran around the village, but I still miss homesickness every night, read the calendar, and counting how many days my parents would come to pick me up.

"On the penultimate morning, a few friends and I wanted to go fishing by the river, but were blocked by the adults and could only go to the very shallow stream to play. Then, I heard the explosion and felt the whole ground shaking.

"I was frightened and just wanted to go back to my grandfather's house and never go out again.

"The explosions were getting more and more violent, cough, cough, I even felt that it was accompanied by a very high-level earthquake."

Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, Jiang Baimian and others were listening attentively. Tian Erhe reached out to roast the fire and continued to recall:

"There is a section in the middle. I fainted for some reason. Maybe it was caught by the air waves caused by the explosion. Anyway, I just woke up without any injuries.

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

"At that time, my grandfather and grandma were much younger than me now, raising chickens, growing vegetables, and making everything.

"Well, let's not talk about this. At that time, there were still many people living in the village. I followed the uncles and aunts, grandparents all the way to the town. There were still many intact houses in the town, but we didn't choose them. We chose this place because there was an open land and we could temporarily live in the tent without worrying about the collapse of the house.

"At that time, the communication was also cut off and there was no signal. Everyone was waiting here, waiting for rescue and help. Unfortunately, I didn't wait..."

Tian Erhe's voice gradually became lower, and it seemed that until now, he still remembered the fear and despair he had at the beginning.

"There are a few uncles and aunts who don't want to wait like this anymore. They went to the supermarket and some people's homes, collected some food, and tried to leave Shuiwei Town and go to the city. I, and I, too, followed them, hoping to return to my parents and not laugh. This is a very instinctive choice for a child.

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

"Here, here, even more terrible..."

Tian Erhe's eyes gradually lost their focus.

He seemed to be trapped in a nightmare that he would never get rid of in his whole life.
