It's really flattering to say that this is a village.

Carefully felt down the mountain all the way, and under the cover of the night, Lin Sanjiu and his two men quietly sneaked into these simple and dilapidated houses.

It's sunny tonight, and the bright moonlight has covered all the scenery in the field of vision with frost. This place is so quiet that they almost lost half their lives to escape the divine war. It seems that it was a century ago.

The so-called house, in fact, is just a shelf made of wood. Some are covered with thatch, and some are simply nothing. When you look into it, you can see the bed made of leaves inside. There were several piles of extinguished fires scattered at the door, and the smoke made the door and the wall black; Some pieces of wood and wooden knives were scattered on the ground. It seemed that they had only completed half of the work and were left behind.

Most of the houses were empty until Lin Sanjiu walked to the edge of the last two rooms, and then he heard the subtle sound of breathing.

There is no need to look at it at all, because there is only a hole in the wall, and there is no window. She glanced in and found that there was only one person inside - it looked like a man, tall and bony, lying on his side on a large stone, from which hung a piece of ragged linen full of wormholes.

In this shabby room, except for the man and his stone bed, there is only a cup and a few pieces of wood, which makes people wonder how he survived.

Lin Sanjiu and Ji Shanqing looked at each other and shook their heads.

Since there are people in this village, they can't settle here - the world is too strange. They have already made up their minds to try not to appear in front of anyone.

He made a mouth gesture to follow the gift bag. Lin Sanjiu took the lead and walked outside the village. They walked silently for a few steps, and suddenly heard only a few low grunts from the broken room behind them; They just accelerated their pace. Unexpectedly, they stumbled under their feet, and their ankles collided with something thin at the same time. Suddenly, the clear impact of copper bells echoed in the night sky, startling several night birds not far away.

The gift bag cursed secretly and stepped back half a step. It was found that there was a silk thread tied above the ground - this silk thread was as thin as hair, and the other end was tied to the door of the house, with a copper bell hanging; In the dark night, it is really difficult to find immortals.

"No," Lin Sanjiu muttered, but he was not too nervous. In these dilapidated villages, there is only the tall man just now, which is really not a threat.

"Hey, who is it? Who's here?"

At this time, a vague question also rang out from the room behind him. The man obviously just woke up from sleep, and his mouth is still very unclear; The sound of him dragging his feet out of the room while putting on his clothes was clearly audible in the dark night.

"Who are you? I thought it was my father who came back." The tall man stood at the door, his neck bowed by the eaves. The moonlight lit up half of his face, and Lin Sanjiu found that it was a somewhat dull face: his eyes were very far apart, and his nose was very flat. He didn't know whether it was because he just woke up and his eyes were dull.

Obviously, this is a so-called "meat man" - this kind of dull appearance, she has seen countless times in ant city; The difference is probably that the flesh people of the Mother God have no fathers.

"We're just passing by," Lin Sanjiu replied briefly, turning around and leaving, "leave now."

Unexpectedly, the tall man suddenly brightened his eyes and rushed out with a few steps - he seemed to have poor control over his hands and feet. These steps were also staggering: "wait, wait! Don't go!"

"What are you doing?" The gift bag asked back.

"My father said, don't let them go when you meet people." when the man straightened up, even Lin Sanjiu only reached his shoulder; He said foolishly: "... Well, no, it's my father who said that as soon as he left, I couldn't do it. If you meet people, please ask them to help me, stupid."

He doesn't seem to know that stupid people are not good words.

"Help you what?" The gift bag seemed to have a little interest in him and asked askew.

The man suddenly showed a look of crying: "... I, I haven't eaten for days."

Lin Sanjiu had a headache: "what's going on?"

"I planted all the vegetables behind the house."

"Where's your father?" Lin Sanjiu just wanted to hurry away. "Where has he gone? You don't have to wait for him to come back."

"He went to God." The fool's next sentence immediately called two people Yilin: "... Our village doesn't know why, and there is no God's care. Without God, we can't eat, people can walk, and die... My father said that he had to go out to find God, see where there is God's care, and then come back to pick me up."

The two looked at each other and found a bright light in each other's eyes.

Ji Shanqing asked cautiously, "what does it mean to be old without God's care?"

"I don't know." The silly man said honestly, "I heard that people in other places worship gods, and gods always visit them. But there has never been a God in our village, and they said that God doesn't like to come to this broken place."

Excellent!

Lin Sanjiu couldn't believe his luck.

In this abnormal world, a place where God doesn't like to come can be said to be a pure land that can be met but not sought——

"Sister, we spent an afternoon on the mountain here, and we really didn't see half a God." Ji Shanqing leaned over her head and whispered in her ear, "the gods in this world appear so often, but they haven't appeared here for so long. I think what this stupid man said is somewhat true."

The fool blinked a pair of eyes far apart in confusion.

"Why doesn't God come?" Lin Sanjiu is still a little worried.

"I don't know," the fool sniffed. "Give me something to eat."

Also, it's probably useless to ask him something more complicated - the two of them were speechless for a moment and thought quietly for a while. After a few seconds, Ji Shanqing suddenly asked, "take me to see your vegetable field."

Seeing that the big man turned around and left, the gift bag whispered to Lin Sanjiu: "... Let's have a look and see if what he said is true."

After all, a dead vegetable field is easy to prove - and the fact is, what the big man said is really true.

Obviously, his father also took pains. In addition to potatoes and radishes, he also planted some coriander and pepper in the garden, probably to make his son seasoned; But no matter what it is, it is dead now - the green and black seedlings and leaves are scattered on the ground, and have been dry and brittle.

"Really dead," the big man sniffed as if he was afraid they wouldn't believe him. "You can't eat. Do you have anything to eat?"

Lin Sanjiu glanced at Ji Shanqing and put his hand behind his back.

"I have something to eat here," she slowed down. "Well, you let us rest in the house at the other end, and I'll give you some bread every day, OK?"

"What is bread?" The big fool widened his eyes suspiciously and turned back and forth on the two men. "You didn't take the bag."

When Lin Sanjiu took out his hand, he had an oil paper bag on his hand. This is also what she purchased from red Nautilus - this is a kind of dry food that is very popular in the free zone of red Nautilus. The brown red and shiny bread is pressed flat and hard, and a dozen pieces are wrapped in an oil paper; When eating, tear off a piece and stir it in wine, milk or water. It will quickly turn into a thick bread paste, which will immediately slide into your throat from your tongue, leaving a mouth full of cinnamon and salt.

After showing silly how to eat, he wolfed down a few mouthfuls and drank the big cup of bread paste cleanly - next, his attitude towards the two people immediately warmed up for several steps, shouted "good man", and took the initiative to clean up a room for them. He also carefully took out his only piece of ragged linen sheet, which was hard with oil, and insisted on spreading it on them; Ji Shanqing pushed several times with a pale face, and finally pushed it off.

Although the village is small, there is a surprising stream behind it.

After being spit down by the girl's God, the two people were sweating and frozen, which had long been too sour to smell. The gift bag couldn't take off her clothes to take a bath, so she had to look at Lin San's wine with deep resentment and envy. The stream water at night was very cold, which made her suddenly shiver and suddenly got goose bumps.

When she got used to the water temperature, she plunged into the stream and flushed the sludge, mucus and sweat all over her body in one breath.

Ji Shanqing lay down by the stream, washed her long hair and wiped her hands and face clean; Finally, at his strong request, Lin Sanjiu could only peel off his clothes layer by layer until he took off the innermost white bottom clothes - five minutes after he fainted in the dark in front of him, when Ji Shanqing woke up again, he was satisfied to find that he had changed into a clean new clothes.

After careful calculation, they had only stayed in God's love for less than two days, and had already made several turns on the edge of life and death. Now as soon as he relaxed a little, all kinds of reactions that were pressed down by the tension flooded up - even the gift bag. Lin Sanjiu had been hungry for a long time, and he simply called a silly man, made a fire, and had dinner in front of their shabby house.

After a world of meat and vegetables, she almost forgot what the food was like; At first, a large bag of food was prepared in the red Nautilus, and now it is finally in use.

The big man sat by the fire, his face reddened by the fire, and stared at her one by one, taking out bags of different appearances that he had never seen before.

In the first bag, there are walnuts, peanuts, cashew nuts, and all kinds of dried fruits, which make people feel full at a glance. Lin San Jiu opened the bag, splashed them into the pot on the fire, sprinkled sugar and a little salt, and the heated snow-white cream gurgled for a while, and the hot milk fragrance mixed with the aroma of dried fruits soon rushed out, making people's mouth spit.

Ji Shanqing is particularly useful in eating. He mixed a large box of cold beef slices - maybe not beef, but at least the seller said it was beef, and Lin Sanjiu planned to eat it in a muddle - with various spices and sauces, and roasted it on the fire for a while; The box was specially made, and soon a fascinating aroma of barbecue came from the small shelf inside. The meat was so tender that it slipped between the teeth. A bite made the mouth full of fresh and sweet juice.

In addition, there are some instant noodles spread from unknown world, none of which is recognized by Lin Sanjiu; They compared the pictures and guessed, and finally made three bowls of sauce noodles - when the thick black pepper juice glowed maroon under the fire, the silly man looked like he was about to cry.

When everyone was eating hard and unwilling to say a word, Lin Sanjiu took out three cans of orange juice - when she bought it, the other party sold it in the ice pile; As soon as she got it, she immediately carded the orange juice. At this time, when she took it out, the bottle was still dripping with cold air.

Gudongdong drank half a jar of cold orange juice, and Lin San wiped his mouth, feeling as if he had never been so happy.

That night, after they had enough to eat and drink, they lay by the campfire and fell asleep looking at the stars.
