Lin Ling rummaged through the boxes and cabinets upstairs, but did not find any relevant books. It was only then that she remembered that she had cleaned up the two rooms next door the day after she arrived here. At that time, she had cleaned out some schoolbags and old plastic-covered book pages. It should have been cleaned up by now.

The houses around the village have collapsed, and it is impossible to find usable books. We can only go to other abandoned villages when we go out to carry firewood in a few days, and maybe we can find usable books.

After making up his mind, Lin Ling stopped thinking about it, and lay directly on the bed, listening to the conversation on the TV downstairs, he could probably guess the plot behind it.

I used to go to my grandma’s house every summer vacation. My grandma didn’t have internet at home, so I could only watch TV, and the TV station only played some dramas about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She would rather watch Journey to the West that had been played many times Watch those mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas.

Later, in the last days, she was fleeing every day, let alone watching dramas. At that time, she thought that if she could go back to the past, she could just watch mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas every day.

If she can go back, she can remind her family and protect her family to survive.

Lin Ling's eyes turned red when he thought of his family members who were no longer there, and he sighed softly. It would be great if he could really go back.

But I can only think about it when I am dreaming. She is not the chosen one, how could she have the opportunity to go back to the past?

Lin Ling raised her hands to cover her eyes, and waited for her emotions to calm down before getting up and going downstairs, sitting in the corner of the sofa, hugging the soft bear doll, and watching TV silently.

There was constant music on the TV, as well as various conversations. It was a bit noisy, but it also dispelled the desertedness here, and made Lin Ling feel much better in his heart.

Suddenly I am glad that I kept Brother Chou, and I am also glad that I found this old-fashioned player, otherwise how would I survive the long years to come?

Little Green, who was watching the drama vigorously, sensed Lin Ling's emotions. It jumped on her shoulder and rubbed her cheek with a leaf to express comfort.

Lin Ling glanced at Xiaolu, although the little guy Jingcheng acted lazy, fierce, heartless, but sometimes he was very caring.

Moreover, she and Xia Mo are not talkative people, Xiaolu is more noisy, and the family can be more lively.

However, I still feel noisy when I am upset, but I don't think it is my own cub.

Lin Ling stretched out her hand to touch Xiaolu, then continued to watch the TV series, and after watching it, they went back to their respective nests to sleep.

The next day at the end of summer, I got up early to do my homework again. While doing my homework, I didn't forget to supervise Brother Chou and Xiaolu, so that they could learn all the homework taught by Lin Ling early.

Lin Ling made breakfast, and they would eat when they finished their homework. After breakfast, everyone went to work, and they didn't go home for class until evening.

For the next few days, everyone repeated the same thing until five days later.

After the 20 acres of wasteland had been reclaimed, Lin Ling rode a tricycle out of the village to be burned.

This was the first time Lin Ling and the others went out after the wall was built. They first used vines to lower the wooden door as a bridge, and then raised and closed the door after going out.

After going out, Lin Ling looked back at the huge three-meter-wide ditch behind him. On the opposite side of the ditch was a wall made of mud, winding for several miles, which looked very majestic.

"At the end of Xia, you can see that you built this wall by yourself. It's amazing." Lin Ling gave a thumbs up to Mo Xia.

At the end of Xia, he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "The earth wall is not strong enough."

"It's not bad." These city walls are indeed not strong. They can only guard against gentlemen but not against villains. Building walls is just a psychological comfort for himself, but Lin Ling will not say this directly to Xia Mo: "It can prevent There are many mutant beasts, maybe we can catch a big rabbit in the deep pit in two days."

Brother Chou barked: "I still have to stew it with potatoes like before."

Xiaolu is also very excited: Let's go and see if there is any.

"What are you watching now? Let's go chop firewood now!" Lin Ling led Xia Mo and a few familiar people to the village where they found the TV set before.

After arriving, Lin Ling saw that the weeds he had spawned before had grown new leaves, lush and vibrant.

Lin Ling didn't pull the weeds, but went to other places to spawn more than a dozen weeds. It's not enough to have green plants in her place, and other places need to be restored slowly, otherwise the black fog at night will last for a long time.

After the weeds were spawned, Lin Ling dug some surviving grass roots and tree roots and took them back. After digging, she went to fill the firewood that others piled up in the house.

After loading the dry firewood, Lin Ling also went to wander around the village, but after searching around, he couldn't find any books suitable for primary school students. Don’t have any books to use?”

"Aren't these?" Mo Xia looked at the thick pile of books.

Lin Ling said, "This is from high school, it's not suitable for you to read."

Xia Mo was a little disappointed: "Then what should I do?"

"Go to the city some other day and have a look." Lin Ling thought to himself that this place is not too desolate, why can't even find a book?

Lin Ling probably would never have imagined that besides square dancing, some old ladies’ favorite activities would also like to sell scraps. After the children in the family finished elementary school, all the books at home were sold out!

"But there is a dictionary here, let's learn it when we go back." Lin Ling took out a thick 'Xinhua Dictionary' from the corner of the bookshelf, and planned to let them learn characters directly from it.

At the end of Xia, when he heard that he could learn characters, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

Lin Ling took the things he needed, and then went outside: "Did you find anything useful?"

Xia Mo shook his head. He and Brother Chou wandered around the village looking for new discs, but they couldn't find any. Some houses didn't even have TVs.

"Discs are something that was popular decades ago. Only people who miss the old days keep them. It's lucky to find a box." Lin Ling comforted Xia Mo, and then called Xiaolu back: "It's getting late, Let's go back first."

Xia Mo quickly followed, "I see there is still a lot of firewood there, should we move some back?"

"The tricycle can't hold it anymore. I'll move it next time." Lin Ling also brought two backpacks, which were also full of firewood.

Xia Mo said hello, carried the basket on his back and walked forward with Lin Ling. When he saw the withered hay on the roadside, he felt a little bit annoyed. ,Nothing at all."

Lin Ling didn't agree, but said, "Our land is very flat, but here there are slopes everywhere. Our land is better for growing grain."

Xia Mo said, "But there is no firewood."

"It's here, we can just move it when we're done using it." Lin Ling didn't complain so much, the end times are tough, it's good to be alive, don't worry about it too much.

"Hurry up, it will be dark if you don't go back." Lin Ling led Xia Mo and the others out of the village, crossing the stone bridge towards home.

After walking for about ten minutes, some movement came from the end of the road ahead.

Brother Chou was the first to notice movement in front of him. He arched his back and stared ahead warily.

Lin Ling asked softly, "What is it?"

Brother Chou pointed to Lin Ling, which meant people.

is a person?

Why are there people here?

Lin Ling lowered her voice: "How many?"

Ugly brother said one.

Although there was only one person on the other side, but she didn't know the details of the other party, Lin Ling didn't want to confront him head-on for the time being, so she directed Xia Mo to step back carefully and try to avoid the other party.

Looking around at the end of Xia, he found that there were bare people everywhere, and there was no place to hide: "Where to hide?"

Lin Ling: "Retreat to the village."

The two pushed the tricycle back lightly, but they couldn't hold on to the potholes and unevenness of the road. The tires of the tricycle hit the rocks and made a loud noise.

Nasty Murphy's Law.

Xia Mo was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he asked Lin Ling silently, "What should we do now?"

"Cold salad." Lin Ling heard the footsteps getting closer behind her, and she didn't plan to hide. She didn't trust them and she couldn't win. "Listen to my orders."

As soon as Lin Ling finished speaking, the person on the opposite side had already walked over. The person was fully armed and held a wooden warehouse in his hand.

Of course, Lin Ling and the others are not easy to mess with. There is only one person on the other side, and they have an advantage in numbers.

The other party looked at Lin Ling with the same precaution, and saw that Lin Ling was a woman, and she still didn't relax. Women who dare to walk outside with their children in the last days have some skills.

The two sides sized each other up and tried it out. Considering some reasons, they felt that there was no need to confront each other head-on, so they each took a step back, expressing that they had no intention of fighting.

Seeing Lin Ling, the other party also had the same thought, put away the wooden warehouse and hung it on his waist, but he did not leave his hand from the wooden warehouse support, and greeted him in a friendly way: "Are you a person who lives near here?"

The other party's voice was a bit hoarse, but it could be heard that it was a woman's voice. Lin Ling didn't answer directly, but replied coldly: "Do you live near here?"

The other party didn't care about Lin Ling's indifference. She slightly pulled down the sweat towel covering her face, revealing an old and dark cheek. She could see that she had experienced a lot. She said casually: "It's the first time I'm in There are living people around here."

Lin Ling's heart was shocked when he heard this, when did the other party move to live around here? Or have you been living around here? However, there was no change on his face, and he still looked at the other party vigilantly, in case of a sneak attack.

The same is true for Xia Mo, who has been staring at this woman.

The woman glanced at Xia Mo who was wary of her, "Is this your son?"

"It's not easy to have a child in the last days." Xu Shi saw a child, and the woman relaxed a little, "Don't be so nervous, I'm not a homeless person, nor a caveman, if I'm not wrong, we should all be out of the safe zone."

Lin Ling couldn't figure out what the woman meant, so she didn't reply.

"You are also the one who got the land and came out?" The woman licked her dry and peeling lips: "The people who come out of the safe zone are different, I can see it."

Lin Ling didn't have a familiar personality, so he didn't go up to make friends: "Excuse me, please."

The woman stepped back and glanced at the firewood pulled behind Lin Ling, "Did you get the firewood from the village across the river?"

Before Lin Ling could speak, the woman said again: "That village now belongs to me, and the firewood is also mine."

"With the river as the boundary, the land tens of miles to the north is allotted to me by the country." The woman paused, "We came from the same place, we met by fate, and we will be neighbors again, you can take all the firewood Let's go, just treat us as friends, and don't come here again in the future."

The woman is very good at talking, and she doesn't speak too harshly.

Lin Ling also knew that the other party didn't need to lie about this matter. It seems that I will have to go farther to find Chai in the future. Try not to stray into other people's territory, "Thank you."
