hot.

This is Qinhuai’s first feeling about this land.

The sun hangs in the air, scorching the earth, and the dazzling sunlight makes people almost unable to open their eyes. The land is as hard as stones, cracking irregularly, and there is no trace of green in the deep cracks. The only thing that the wind brings is heat waves and sand, and even the sky is covered with a layer of hot red.

It was a thousand miles apart, and Qinhuai had such a deep understanding of this word for the first time.

Qin Huai touched the land, which was hard and rough, but he couldn't feel the temperature. He deliberately kicked the stone with his foot. The stone did not move at all and his feet felt painless.

Very good, I am probably just a spectator in this dream.

But where is the protagonist?

This is a wilderness, where you can see it, there are only boundless loess, a few dead trees and monotonous colors that make people feel suffocated when they look at it, there are not even big stones that can cover their sight, there is no one, no animals, or even wild grass, and there is no place to hide it even if you want to.

Qinhuai is confused.

It can't be the system that tricks itself into a dream and then starts to survive in the desert, right?

There is no need to survive. I don’t feel it. The sun in the sky is so strong that it doesn’t feel the heat. Normal people stay in such a place for dozens of minutes and will be afraid that they will faint from heatstroke.

Suddenly, the land under Qinhuai's feet moved.

A small bag bulged up.

Qinhuai:!!!

With a scream, Qin Huai jumped to the side, and the bag became bigger and bigger, and one head broke out.

This adjective may be strange, but it really broke out from the ground. The man's hair and face were full of dry soil, and there was also a mouth. The man who broke out from the ground said "bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, ba

"Why is it still during the day?" The man was a young female voice, and at first glance, the voice was a little familiar.

I saw the man touching his dirtier face with his dirty hands, adjusting the color on his face, peeling off a lot of soil, barely revealing the facial features that people could see were people.

Chen Huihong.

The younger version of Chen Huihong.

Although he is young and doesn't look like a human, Qin Huai absolutely did not admit his mistake. This is Chen Huihong!

Qin Huai looked at the young version of Chen Huihong who was more lively and silently spit out two words: "Awesome."

Rich people are different. They usually dream of getting rich overnight.

Chen Huihong dreamed that he would bury himself in the soil by surviving on dry land, which was only a little worse than the zombie battle royale.

"No one yet." Chen Huihong looked around, "I have changed three or four places, and I haven't seen anyone. Could it be that I've gone to the wrong place?"

"No, it's going south."

After saying that, Chen Huihong looked up at the sky: "Southeast...this is...the east...where should I go?"

After talking to himself, Chen Huihong shook her head and denied herself, and her fingers were restless and she wanted to make 800 small moves in a second.

"Let's go here!" In the end, Chen Huihong successfully pointed to the south, "Let's go for 10 days first to see if you can meet people."

Qinhuai:?

Loess Marathon?

Too hardcore, this dream.

Then Chen Huihong really started to leave.

The kind that never stops.

From day to night, I don’t eat or drink water. I just find a slightly flat place after the moon hanging on the branches and lie on the ground. I slept for a few hours. After waking up, I took out a thin and narrow bark from my clothes, rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into my mouth and chewed it for a few bites, and then continued walking.

It is no exaggeration to say that this physical strength and this endurance are Superman.

Chen Huihong just walked for 6 days.

If Chen Huihong was trying to escape from famine, from an environmental perspective, the direction she was going should be right.

Although the land is still dry and cracked, the sun is still hot, and the sand and heat waves in the air have not decreased, Qinhuai sees a hidden vitality from the arid land, dry rivers, abandoned farmland, broken earth houses, and abandoned old wells.

This place used to be inhabited.

However, the famine caused by drought forces people to take their families and leave their hometowns. Chen Huihong is like a leisurely player who accidentally enters the wilderness to survive. Every time he passes a village, he has to search for something inside.

Of course, I can't find any good things.

There is definitely no clothes and food. The water can be made from the deep well, but it is all dirty and turbid water. Chen Huihong poured the water back after sucking it once.

An ordinary farmer's bowl, spoonful, chopstick and wood are precious property. What Chen Huihong could find from the house is nothing more than the abandoned wood that burns fire and doesn't think the fire is strong enough, the dead grass that can be spread on the ground to keep warm, the gravel and the garbage that was burned into a ball of burnt.

Of course, there is no extra gain at all.

Chen Huihong picked out several copper plates from the cracks in the wall of a brick house where the landlords obviously lived and picked up two broken wooden toys - a wooden man who could be vaguely seen as a human figure but lacked arms and legs, a wooden pony with only half a body, and there was still red paint on the pony's body, which could be seen as an exquisite toy.

Chen Huihong carefully put these good things into his clothes and kept them close to him. Like the players who bravely entered the game world, he wanted to pick up the backpack when he saw everything.

In this way, Chen Huihong walked all the way and took 13 days.

Qin Huai also followed Chen Huihong and walked for 13 days.

If you want to ask Qin Huai what he thought, he really has no idea. This is Chen Huihong's dream. He will not be thirsty, hungry, tired, or sleepy. Except for the boring plot and the scenes are too real, there is no difference between watching a movie. Moreover, Qin Huai has not discovered anything in these 13 days. He found that Chen Huihong seemed to be learning something.

Chen Huihong has been looking for traces of people, but she is not obsessed with finding people. From her route, we can see that if she really wants to find people to integrate into the army, Chen Huihong should walk the road, and no matter how bad it is, it must be a path that people step out. But Chen Huihong is not. She insists on walking the unethical maps that lead to barren mountains and wilderness at first sight and do not show the road with roads.

Fortunately, this weeds did not grow in drought, otherwise Chen Huihong would have to walk into the deep mountains and forests.

Chen Huihong is not obsessed with finding people, but is very interested in the environment in which people live.

As long as she finds a village, she must go to every room to check it carefully. The stove, bed, woodshed, and courtyard. Even if the soil wall has been burned and collapsed, most of the original traces cannot be seen. She must also observe it carefully on this ruined wall.

This feeling is a bit like a human being watching small animals.

I don't know, I don't understand, but I'm very interested.

Too weird.

Another night.

The clouds covered the moon, and the five fingers were gone, and Chen Huihong lies on the ground and sleeps with her eyes closed. The little horse on her waist fell to the ground, making a slight sound. Chen Huihong didn't hear it, turned over and continued to sleep.

Soon, a new sound came from afar.

It's the sound of footsteps.

Very light, but seems very messy.

Qin Huai stood up and looked in the direction where the sound came. Through the very faint moonlight, he vaguely saw a small black shadow, staggering. It seemed that the deer, who had not learned to walk for a while, had just been born, ran stumbled towards the direction where Chen Huihong was.

The deer is getting closer and closer.

When the deer was only four or five meters away from Chen Huihong, Qin Huai discovered that this was not an animal, but seemed to be a child, a very thin child who could not stand up and could only use his hands and feet to run and crawl forward.

Chen Huihong woke up.

She sat up and picked up the little horse that fell to the ground as soon as possible, tilted her head and stared at the child not far from her. The child also saw Chen Huihong standing up and did not dare to move for a moment. The two of them were in a stalemate until Chen Huihong said, "Who?"

It's a female voice.

The child dared to move, stood up tremblingly, tilted his head to see who was in front of him, but because it was too dark, he could see a black outline, bulging and tall and strong.

Of course, she is tall and strong because Chen Huihong stuffed a lot of dry grass she carefully selected in her clothes. As an excellent scavenger, she didn't even let go of dry grass.

"My name is Hui Niang." The child said tremblingly. I don't know if it was because of fear or something, his voice was very hoarse.

Chen Huihong looked at Hui Niang and said, "Come here."

Hui Niang didn't dare to move.

"Why are you here?" Chen Huihong continued to ask.

"I...I..." Hui Niang's head slightly tilted, as if she wanted to see if there were anyone else beside her. She was sure that Chen Huihong was the only one who mustered up her courage, "My parents and I got separated."

Seeing that Chen Huihong did not answer, Hui Niang asked again: "Sister...sister, are you... separated too?"

Chen Huihong still didn't answer. Two people, one big and one small, were sitting quietly. You looked at me, and I looked at you. No one could see clearly, no one dared to move. It seemed as if two stone sculptures under the moonlight, Qin Huai, the bystander, seemed very out of place.

Finally, Chen Huihong spoke: "Yes, I'm separated, too."

Hui Niang became happy in an instant, as if she had found a similar person. She stood up and walked carefully towards Chen Huihong. Seeing that Chen Huihong had no movement, she became more and more courageous. She moved directly to Chen Huihong and sat face to face with her.

"Is my sister also from Yu County?" Hui Niang asked with wide eyes.

"No." Chen Huihong shook her head and thought for a while, "I am... next door."

Hui Niang was obviously a fool, and her answer was nodded with affirmation after all, and then asked, "Where are sisters going?"

"have no idea"

"Where are you going?" Chen Huihong asked back.

Hui Niang was silent.

Under the moonlight, Qin Huai inexplicably felt that Hui Niang's face contour was a little familiar.

"I don't know." Hui Niang's voice seemed even more hoarse, "My parents and I are separated."

"Why did you get separated?" Chen Huihong took the initiative after just a few words.
