into the night.

The cold air kept pouring into the house through the window, but at the end of summer, I didn't feel cold at all, but felt warm all over.

The bed is soft, the quilt has just been washed with a little bit of washing powder powder, and a faint smell of sunshine, wrapping the body in the quilt, making the end of summer feel comfortable like never before.

Xia Mo took a deep breath, smelling the cotton in the quilt, and the smell of the ugly brother lying next to him, all made him inexplicably at ease.

He has a family and a partner again, which is great! Xia Mo couldn't help reaching out and touching Brother Ugly's wrinkled face, escaping from that dark and depressing place was the most correct choice he had ever made in his life.

Brother Chou opened his dozing eyes: Can't sleep?

Xia Mo hummed, "I'm so happy."

Although Brother Chou is a clever mutant beast, he can't put himself in the shoes of Mo Xia and understand Mo Xia's mood. What's there to be happy about?

Xia Mo turned over and sighed like an adult: "You don't understand."

Except for the dead mother, only Lin Ling gave him warmth. Without her, maybe he would have died that night.

If I met her earlier, wouldn't my mother die? At the end of Xia, when he thought of the scene where his mother hid him, his nose felt sour.

Mother held his face, her voice trembling, "Promise mother, you must not make any noise, and you must not come out."

Listening to the roar of the zombies outside, Xia Mo held her mother's hand tightly with a pale face, "Don't go."

"Hey, it's okay." Mom took off her hat and put it on his head, "Don't be afraid. You wear this hat, just like your mother is by your side. Xia Mo is a brave child, yes wrong?"

At the end of Xia, tears could not stop streaming down, "Don't go."

His mother kissed his forehead decisively, "It's time to call Mom again."

Xia Mo, who is five or six years old, is not a flower living in a greenhouse. He already knew death and parting at a young age. He shook his head holding back tears: "Mom, don't go."

"I'll be back soon." Mom broke Xia Mo's hand cruelly, and stuffed him into the gap to hide, "Be sure not to make a sound."

Xia Mo tightly hugged the hat his mother left him, hot tears streaming down his cheeks, and his mother never came back after that night.

If only...if I met her earlier, it would be great if my mother was still alive.

Brother Chou stuck out his tongue and licked Xia Mo's face, comforting Xia Mo in his own way.

Xia Mo's face was itchy from being licked, he pushed away Brother Chou's face, "Don't lick it, it's so itchy."

Brother Chou licked it again, and said very straightly: Don't cry, baby!

"I didn't cry, I just got sand in my eyes." Xia Mo wiped her eyes, unwilling to admit that she was crying just now, and turned over, "This bed is so comfortable."

Brother Ugly groaned in agreement.

"Go to sleep." Xia Mo curled up into a ball, and before falling asleep, she was still thinking: so comfortable and warm, as reassuring as being hugged by her mother.

The diaphragm effect in the country house is not very good. Lin Ling, who was looking at her mobile phone in the next room, could hear the movement next door. She raised her lips and smiled, looking very happy.

Just be happy.

Children are full of thoughts all day long, and they are so old that they don't look like children at all. The end of the world has been over for almost a year, so don't be too tense, you should look like a child.

Lin Ling turned sideways and continued to look at the phone. The phone did have some new functions.

In the interface of the information center, as the woman said, a map preview was added. First of all, it was an old version of the national map, with the original cities marked on it, but the colors were all gray.

In addition, the location of the safe zone was remarked. With the safe zone as the center, the cleared land spread out for thousands of miles. Each piece of allocated land was distinguished by color. As long as it was displayed in light yellow, it belonged to the owner.

Although the land number was not marked on the map, Lin Ling quickly found the land that belonged to him through the terrain, azimuth, longitude and latitude.

A large cleared area was shown around her land, but only two were allocated, one of which was the land that was allocated to the woman who came to find her today, and the other was next to the woman's land.

So it seems that the woman is not lying.

Lin Ling studied the map again, and found that the land allocated by the state was mostly arable land, and the mountain and forest cities with less arable land were basically not allocated. No wonder the staff told her that the land was first come, first served.

After reading the map and exiting, Lin Ling found that a forum section was added, which can be used for chatting, trading, consultation, irrigation and so on.

"It's quite interesting." Lin Ling clicked in and took a look, and found that there had been hundreds of posts, most of which were complaints about the lack of water and drought in the allocated land, and some posts asking for help.

The post reads: Ask a wood-type supernatural being to help spawn seeds. I am an earth-type supernatural being, and I can exchange labor. My character is guaranteed, and I will never cheat! Interested parties contact by private message!

There is also a post writing: Seeking wood-type supernatural powers to help grow vegetable seedlings, willing to pay with future output, and those who are interested can contact by private message.

These are considered normal, and there are even more bizarre trading posts: ask for food for a year, willing to use your stomach as a reward.

Lin Ling looked at the series of posts below, and said that she couldn't support herself, so she wanted to raise a child?

Of course, some people are willing, after all, some people want to have a child to carry on the family line.

Looking at the jokes below, Lin Ling felt very uncomfortable about being a woman. Men are bad, and this woman is not good. If women treat themselves as commodities and let others trample on them, then there will still be people who will look down on women in the future ?

Lin Ling backhanded a report, then quit the forum, throwing the phone aside.

Xiaolu crawled from under the quilt to the phone: I want to play for a while.

Lin Ling glanced at it, and asked abruptly, "Have you memorized all the pinyin taught tonight?"

Xiaolu was so frightened that she shivered, and began to play dumb: You will know tomorrow.

Lin Ling took Xiaolu's leaf and threw it aside, "I want to know now."

Little Green began to think back to the 'a, o, e, i, u, v' learned today is really too difficult, it's rare that its leaves are drooping: I can't.

"No?" Lin Ling snorted, "No, you still want to play games?"

Little Green drooped two leaves: Then I will stop playing and go to sleep.

Lin Ling came up with a plan, "Why do you sleep? Get up and I'll make up your lessons."

Xiaolu's whole vine is not good, so she asked tremblingly: Make up lessons?

Lin Ling smiled and said, "Yes, I will treat you a little bit, and see how I treat you!"

Xiaolu has two words of resistance written all over her body: I ​​don't want to make up lessons, I want to sleep.

"You still don't want me to give you extra lessons for free?" Lin Ling picked up Little Green and began to give it extra lessons, "You are not as smart as Xia Mo, and you are not as diligent as Dahei. From now on, you will be the stupidest in the class. Are you sorry?"

Lin Ling said in a deep voice: "Let me ask again, can you make it up?"

Little Green shivered a bit, did it dare to say no?

In this way, Xiaolu was caught making up a class, and her head was dizzy when she woke up the next day, but fortunately, it worked, and she wrote her homework quickly and well.

Xia Mo looked at Xiaolu suspiciously, how could Xiaolu write better than him today?

Little Green shakes the leaves sleepily, you don't want to know why!

After Xia Mo and the others finished their homework, Lin Ling took a few people to the woman's land. On the way, Xia Mo asked, "Why do you want to help her?"

"Take this opportunity to bring back some tree roots." Lin Ling actually had another consideration. She would rather offend a gentleman than a villain, and she didn't want to have a bad relationship with this woman, so as not to cause future troubles.

Xia Mo said, "Then I'll dig more."

It took two hours to reach the site where the woman was.

After seeing Lin Ling, the woman who had been waiting by the river secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "You are here."

Lin Ling hummed, "What are you going to post?"

"Potatoes and some side dishes." The woman glanced at Xia Mo and Brother Chou who were following, then turned around and led Lin Ling to the village, "What food do you want, I don't have much right now."

Lin Ling looked around and asked vigilantly, "What food do you have now?"

"I have half a catty of flour." The woman walked to a piece of land, pointing to her to plant a few acres of land: "As long as these can sprout, the half catty of flour I share will be yours, okay?"

"Half a catty of flour is not enough." Lin Ling glanced at the nearly three mu of land, "One catty of flour."

The state allocated a total of three catties of flour to women. She saved it and didn't eat it, but she was reluctant to take it all out. "It's only half a catty. Can I use dry firewood for the rest?"

Lin Ling could see the reluctance in the woman's eyes, and knew that she was hiding something, "That's not what you said when you asked me for help yesterday."

The woman smiled stiffly, "There is really only half a catty of flour left, and I have planted all the potatoes that were allocated to me. How about I add a few catties to you after the potatoes grow?"

Lin Ling frowned, but she didn't expect the woman to turn her back and deny it: "Since this is your sincerity, then we will go back."

"Wait a minute." The woman hurriedly said.

Lin Ling didn't want to pay attention to her.

The woman glanced at the tricycle brought by Lin Ling, "I'll exchange another secret with you, okay?"

Lin Ling is not interested in secrets: "Secrets are more important than food?"

At the end of Xia, he opened his mouth and said, "Food is more important."

The woman was not angry, but said to Lin Ling: "All the land you are on has been burned. I know a place where there are green plants. You can go directly and move them back to plant them."

Lin Ling raised her eyebrows: "Why don't you move to such a nice place?"

"The country didn't assign it to me, and I can't grow it when I move back." The woman pointed to the direction behind her, "It's just a hundred miles away. There is water in the river over there, and the plants on the mountain are alive."

Lin Ling didn't believe the woman's words, "The mountains I've seen all the way from the safe zone have at most a few weeds and saplings, and it's impossible for them all to be alive."

"You also know that my land has not been burned. If you search carefully on the mountain, you can still find living plants. The place is surrounded by water, and it is normal for plants to live." The woman took out her mobile phone and pulled out a picture Handed the photo to Lin Ling, "Look, isn't it full of trees?"

Lin Ling glanced at the photo. It was taken across the river. The side of the river was dry and yellow, while the other side of the river was sparsely growing with saplings, looking emerald green.

Obviously not far apart, why is there such a big difference? Lin Ling looked at the woman full of doubts, "Isn't it your p?"

Seeing Brother Chou's sharp teeth, the woman silently took two steps back: "It's no good for me to lie to you."

The woman could see clearly that Lin Ling was able to build a high wall to protect herself, and also recruit mutant beasts to be driven by her. She must have extraordinary strength, so she didn't need to risk being strangled to offend this neighbor.

Moreover, the other party is a wood-type supernatural user, and there are still many things that need her help in the future, and the woman is even more unwilling to offend her: "The land looks very weird, I only dare to take a look at it from a distance. If you want to go , you need to be more careful."

Lin Ling expected that she wouldn't dare to lie, so she glanced at the desolate land, "I'm living well now, there's no need to venture into unknown regions, your news is a bit tasteless to me,"

"But because we are neighbors, I can only charge you half a catty of flour today and bring some more firewood, but it won't be so simple next time." Lin Ling winked at Xia Mo, "You Go to the mountain to chop firewood with Brother Chou, and I will help grow the vegetable seedlings."

After sending away the end of summer, Lin Ling started to give birth to potatoes, and soon saw vegetable seedlings growing sparsely on the scorched land.

When the woman saw the vegetable seedlings growing in the vegetable field, her sad face relaxed a little. The half catty of flour was worth it!
