Chapter 14:
After dark, fog gradually engulfed the entire city.
Lin Ling quickly found a clean place to hide, did not dare to light a fire, and sat huddled in a corner, holding a water-stained handkerchief and kept wiping his hands, wiping the blood from the crevices of his nails, the faint smell of rust Made her feel uncomfortable.
The end of the world has long been used to life and death, but it always makes her feel uncomfortable. She doesn't want to hurt others, but in order to survive, she has to do this. Who would think that life is too long? Lin Ling smiled self-deprecatingly.
She leaned against the cold wall, the composure she had been holding on just now was gone, her fingers were trembling slightly, if those two people didn't despise her as a single woman today, she might not be able to run away at all.
Xiaolu noticed Lin Ling's trembling, and gently wrapped her arms around her, comforting her gently, telling her not to be afraid.
"I'm not afraid." Lin Ling was actually a little scared in her heart, but she didn't want to tell Xiaolu, or it would crawl on his head to show off its might in the future.
Are you not afraid that it is cold? Little Green arched Linling's arm: light the fire.
"No." Lin Ling was afraid that lighting the fire would lead to some vicious homeless people, so he could just wear thicker clothes and stay up all night.
Lin Ling wrapped her thick down jacket tightly, hugged her legs, and buried her head on her knees. Yin Qi kept coming around her, making it impossible for her to fall asleep. She sat for a whole night, and waited until around six o'clock in the morning to squint for a while. After dawn, the light shone into the dark tube building, and she slowly woke up.
Lin Ling rubbed her eyes and looked out the window. The fog hadn't dissipated yet, so she was not in a hurry to leave. She took out a cooked potato and slowly gnawed on it. After eating the potatoes, the fog completely dissipated, revealing her A deserted and lonely city.
Lin Ling pushed the flatbed cart out of the residence, and walked slowly towards the direction of the city, picking up some things that might be needed while walking.
The way out of the city is different from the way into the city. After Lin Ling walked out of the city, she was on the road that detoured from an urban-rural junction, and when she passed a street in the urban-rural junction, she stopped.
Lin Ling looked back at the empty street behind her, then turned around and walked towards the inner street. She was lucky, and found some unopened sauces from behind a store selling funeral supplies.
After coming out of this store, I continued to walk to the back. A small store next door was filled with steamers, tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks. It looked like it was dedicated to the banquet business in a rural village. Lin Ling went around the back of the house and found a hundred pieces of briquettes under the eaves outside the toilet.
Everyone in the city uses natural gas, and some small shops also use gas tanks. Basically, few people use briquettes anymore. Lin Ling remembers that she rarely saw this thing again after she was in high school. I didn’t expect to see it here. .
Lin Ling picked up a piece and squeezed it, it still works, "Take all these back."
Little Green dislikes the charcoal-like briquettes: What do you do with them?
"It can be used for cooking when there is no firewood." Lin Ling remembered that there was a briquette stove in the place where she lived now, and it was just in time to take the briquette back home.
This urban efficiency junction is located in the suburbs, surrounded by some fields, so Lin Ling also found some hoes and other agricultural tools from some houses. Lin Ling took off the wooden handle on the top of the hoe, leaving only a section of the **** on the bottom for easy handling.
Xiaolu pointed to a room next to her: there are more here.
"It can't fit anymore." Lin Ling looked at the packed flatbed cart, and really couldn't load any more.
Xiaolu glanced at the tall and full flatbed cart: Find another one.
"No." Lin Ling felt that it would be perfect to find two shopping carts to load things now, but there are only grocery stores on this street, and there are no large supermarkets, so shopping carts must be impossible to find.
Xiaolu is dissatisfied: It will be useless if you don’t take it.
"Little green, you suddenly become so worried. I'm not used to it yet." Lin Ling glanced at Xiaolu suspiciously, guessing if it had some tricks.
Xiaolu, who was being stared at, was a little guilty, shook the leaves, and poked the back of Lin Ling's hand ferociously: It's up to you.
"Are you guilty of being so anxious?" Lin Ling tapped the two leaves on the top of Xiaolu's head, and suddenly found that the leaves of Xiaolu had grown a little: "Hey, your leaves have grown bigger?"
Little Green shook the leaves, very happy: Really?
"Really." Without waiting for Xiaolu to be happy, Lin Ling said again: "Did you suddenly grow bigger last night, stretching the leaves, and now there is no way to restore them?"
Little Green: ...
Lin Ling didn't care about the two twisted leaves of Xiaolu: "You can't do this, your body is deformed and it doesn't look good, you need to exercise more, go down and push the cart for me."
Xiaolu was so angry that the leaves stood up, and when the branch wrapped around Lin Ling's finger, he strangled fiercely: I'm so angry!
Lin Ling shook off Xiaolu in pain, "It hurts me to death."
Little Green Akimbo: Deserves it! Who told you to tell me!
Lin Ling rubbed her fingers, "The fact is so, you still don't admit it? You have to accept the reality."
Xiaolu was going to be **** off, if they weren't companions, it would have killed her long ago!
Little Green jumped to the ground angrily, and ran to the front with a bounce.
Lin Ling looked at Xiaolu's emerald back, and smiled a little more in her eyes. What happened last night made her feel very depressed. She deliberately talked to Xiaolu and her mood improved a lot, but then again, Are the leaves of Xiaolv really stretched and unable to recover?
In the blink of an eye, Xiaolu ran away without a trace. Lin Ling pushed the flatbed cart and quickly chased after her. When she reached the corner ahead, she saw Xiaolu waving leaves from a pile of waste bricks towards her.
Lin Ling stepped forward: "What's wrong?"
Xiaolu pointed to the yard behind it with the leaves, and then pushed Lin Ling into it.
"What's inside?" Lin Ling pushed open the rusty iron door, and there was a creaking sound from the big iron door, and no one had been there for some time.
It's convenient for Lin Ling not to have been here before. She searched the house, and her food and clothes were already plundered, "There is nothing."
Xiaolu pushed Lin Ling to the back of the house, and found that the back door of the yard was directly connected to several acres of fields, and there was a latrine next to the latrine, and the small shed next to the latrine was full of farm tools.
"You want me to get the hoe?" Lin Ling glanced at the **** beside the latrine, "My flatbed cart can't hold it anymore."
Little Green shook the leaves and said no: You go to the house and have a look.
Lin Ling glanced at the dark latrine, then looked back at Xiaolu who was pushing her heels, "You don't want to push me into the latrine, do you?"
Xiaolu shook the leaves, and put her hands on her hips angrily: Am I such a narrow-minded Fujiteng?
"You are." Lin Ling smiled, "Don't think I don't know about your violent beating of Dahei."
Xiaolu is so irritable that she wants to beat someone up: It’s fine if you don’t watch it, and don’t blame me if you regret it later.
"Then I'll really go and have a look." Lin Ling picked up Xiaolu and put it in his hands, and walked towards Xiaopian shed curiously: "What the **** is it?"
After walking in, Lin Ling found a dirty tricycle parked in the corner. The tricycle didn't generate electricity, so it could be ridden away.
This is good.
Lin Ling immediately went to the side of the tricycle and took a closer look, and found that except for some rust on the surface, the other parts looked intact. She pulled it out and rode it again. Except for the creaking sound of the chain running out of oil, there was nothing else. question.
It was also easy to solve the creaking noise. Lin Ling poured some diesel oil he found on the chain, and when he rode it again, there was no creaking sound. "It is convenient to have this tricycle."
Xiaolu jumped onto the handle of the tricycle and shook the leaves triumphantly: I didn't lie to you, did I?
"Little green, you are really good. You helped me a lot today." Lin Ling saw that the rear of the tricycle was quite big, not only could it fit all the things on the flatbed, but also a lot of other things.
Hearing the praise, Xiaolu shook the leaves arrogantly: Don't you think I cheated on you?
Those who know current affairs are heroes, and Lin Ling was afraid that Xiaolu would make trouble again, so he followed its words and said, "I have treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, please forgive me."
The arrogant little green shook the leaves and jumped to another place.
Lin Ling knew that Xiaolu was not angry anymore, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Even though Xiaolu was just a vine, it was also a vine that she could not afford to offend. Cao Teng definitely can't solve the two people.
Lin Ling moved all the things on the flatbed to the tricycle, then folded the flatbed and put it on the cart. There was still a third of the space left, so she decided to find some more things to load.
Lin Ling went to the trotting shed outside the back door again, and found a **** and a cultivator from the farm tools inside. The cultivator was very suitable for taking back and plowing the more than 200,000 acres of wasteland left by Lin Ling, but it needed to be refueled to use it, anyway. Take it back first, and if you can find diesel later, you can use it.
After owning the tricycle, Lin Ling felt that he was even more ruthless, and took everything that could be used. He couldn't come back empty-handed after traveling all the way, right?
After Lin Ling took the cultivator, he looked at the several bags hanging on the wall. The bags were full of dust and extremely dirty, but they looked heavy and contained a lot of things.
Lin Ling took it out and looked at it. There were more than a dozen large bags of pesticides inside, which were used for weeding and pest control.
Lin Ling thought about the bare hillocks at home. I don't think weeding or pest control will be needed for the time being, but let's take them back first, in case they will be needed in the future? I just don't know if it can still be used after seven or eight years of shelf life.
He continued to rummage in his pocket. When he got to the bottom, Lin Ling found a huge surprise. There were more than a dozen packets of vegetable seeds underneath. gram.
Lin Ling took a closer look at the packaging bag, and found that the seal was intact, and there were no moths inside, and they could be planted directly, which is really great!
Lin Ling, who had been trying to find seeds these days, finally breathed a sigh of relief. There was no need to worry about vegetable seeds in the future.
"Xiaolu, you are really a little lucky star."
Xiaolu shook the leaves happily: You want to share my meat.
"Okay, I'll give you some when I get back." Lin Ling paused, "You can find some more later, and I'll give you more when the time comes."
Xiaolu patted the leaf on Lin Ling's hand and gave it a high-five, that's the deal!
Then Xiaolu continued to walk forward, and Lin Ling pushed the tricycle and walked forward a few steps, then stopped and turned to look at the corner, and said solemnly: "Come out!"
