Neighbors in forbidden land

Now we have reached a delicate balance with the humans in the eastern camp.

According to Wu Shao, they have given up exploring to the west—that is, the area we are in, and turned to the north and east to search for targets.

But in fact, this is just their plan, they are now temporarily entering the recuperation stage.

Because of our troubles before, many of them have already made up their minds to leave. Therefore, when transporting supplies next time, we will reconfirm whether the camp still needs to continue to exist based on the number of people who left and replenished.

But our lives must go on, we are not like them, we have nowhere else to go but this land.

So we reopened a cave and planted potatoes again.

We are all familiar with digging caves, loosening the soil, and burying manure, in order to be able to plant potatoes well again.

When passing by the lake, we saw the saplings emerging from the river, which were as high as our calves.

They are still seemingly fragile branches, but their posture proves that their vitality is far more tenacious than what we see.

Because they survived, we didn't protect them like we protected potatoes, but they survived anyway.

Even if the condition doesn't look so good, the bare slender branches seem to be unable to bear the weight of the leaves, I really don't understand how they survived.

The only thing we did was that although the seeds were planted by the lake, they were not completely on the edge of the lake.

Otherwise, once there is a heavy rain, the temporarily expanded lake will directly flood these seeds. In this case, no matter how strong the vitality is, they will not be able to survive. This is Yimi's original words.

At that time, we actually didn't have much expectation for them, after all, we didn't even know what kind of seeds they were.

But now, they grow up, and we still don't know what kind of seeds they are.

"It's... so tall?" Yimi, who was squatting beside a short tree branch, gently stretched out her hand to touch the branches extending upwards, with surprise and joy mixed on her face, "I really didn't expect... "

"I didn't even think about..."

Even though they are all plants, a burst of rain can destroy potatoes, but it still cannot shake these seemingly fragile lives.

"Would you like to water it? Do you want it?" Xiao Gu said and squatted beside Yimi, but fell to the ground without squatting firmly.

"No need..." Yimi just retracted her hand and chuckled, "Since they have found their own way of life, let's not interfere too much."

"It's really some uncommon plants." Lan Xue walked to Xiao Gu's side calmly, and pulled Xiao Gu up calmly.

"After all, I found it from the boat... I don't know what species it is." Yimi stood up while talking, and patted the dust on the skirt, "After all, Wu Shao said that she didn't know. "I looked at the branches that were unmoved by the blowing wind, and the rotten vines crawling all over the ground, and felt that the difference between plants was really obvious.

Afterwards, the cabin was further trimmed. According to Yimi, since there are other rooms available, those rooms should be utilized.

The room that was cleared out at the beginning was named the lounge. It is responsible for various functions such as cooking, cooking, storing, sleeping, etc., but Yimi felt that it would be too messy.

"Since it's a lounge, it should look like a lounge. What does it look like in such a mess?"

So we started to clean the other rooms. Lan Xue and I were responsible for dismantling the sundries that Yimi thought were unnecessary and throwing them out of the boat. Xiao Gu originally planned to bring seawater up from the bottom of the cabin to wash the room, but in the end he was rejected. Yimi stopped him:

"Since everyone has decided to live here, let's do it thoroughly."

So, according to Yimi's request, I re-led a river ditch from the lake, but when I was close to the beach... the water and sand mixed together and disappeared.

"Yimi Yimi! The water is gone!" I hurried to Yimi and reported the situation to Yimi.

"The water is missing? What do you mean?" Yimi, who was planning the room, asked suspiciously.

"The water disappears when it flows on the beach!" If you think about it carefully, it seems to be such a situation.

"..." After being silent for a while, Yimi raised her hand to cover her face.

"what happened?"

"Xiao Hei, you just need to continue digging a ditch on the beach... How can I explain the mud and sand to you... Forget it, Xiao Hei, you just need to make sure the river ditch can reach the side of this boat. gone."

"what?"

"You'll know when you dig it." Yimi just let go of her hand and chuckled.

So I continued to lead the river ditch from the mud to the beach. After a while, the water no longer submerged in the sand, but stayed along the sand.

It's really strange...

It's just that the ditch on the sand needs to be dug a little more clearly, otherwise the water flow will stop soon, and when the whole ditch is extended, I have to go back and forth to dig the ditch deeper and wider to ensure the flow of the river will not disconnect.

In the end, Yimi directly asked me to open a hole in the boat, leading the river ditch into the seawater at the bottom of the cabin.

"The terrain here is lower, and there is no way to circulate, so we simply lead the river channel into the sea, and the meeting point is in our boat." Yimi smiled and said something that I seemed to understand. If you can't seem to understand the words, do you always feel that it is difficult or not?

Now that he has reached this position, Xiao Gu can control fresh water to flow in from the cabin a little farther from the sea along the hole in the cabin wall. After cleaning the rooms organized by Lan Xue and Yimi, the dust and The tiny sundries were swept away, and then flowed out along the hole in the bulkhead.

"It's really convenient..." I couldn't help but sigh with emotion as I watched the water crawling in the dimly lit cabin with an impossible trajectory. "The next step is to wait for the remaining water to dry naturally. If there is a fire, will it be faster-don't breathe fire!"

As a result, the flames that Little Goo spewed from his mouth almost flooded the entire aisle, and in the end, Lan Xue suppressed the remaining flames with ice.

"Woooooooooooooo..." Little Gu's face was covered with tears and mucus, although I don't know if the liquid coming out of the hair can be called tears, maybe it should be called sweat.

"No one is blaming you... I just hope you can listen to me clearly before you act next time, understand?" Yimi raised her hand to help Xiaogu wipe away her tears, but the result seemed to be more and more blurred.

"Um……"

In the end, Yimi was almost in a hurry to help Xiao Gu get her appearance right, but Xiao Gu's mood also came and went quickly, and soon returned to her previous smile.

Then came the tidying up of the room. There are two rooms next to the lounge. One is the so-called dining room. There are iron plates for burning things, pots, various foods, and boxes used as tables and chairs.

The other room is the utility room, which is used to store tools that are not in use temporarily.

Then the bottom of the entire ship was classified as a bathroom by Yimi. The reason is very simple, there is water here, both sea and fresh water.

"It really feels like a residence here." Yimi smiled lightly, stroking the wooden wall with her hands.

"Although I can't understand what kind of place you humans need to live in, but the residence is indeed to have a look suitable for you to live in." It is rare that Lan Xue did not refute Yimi's words, and agreed with her statement.

"Are you the same?" Yimi asked curiously.

"Dragon words need a wide space, so I said that I can't understand why you humans like to confine yourself in a small space." Lan Xue looked up at the ceiling, and then looked around the dimly lit surroundings, feeling a little disgusted said.

"The body size is different..." I tried to think for a while, "A body as big as a dragon really needs a spacious residence."

After all, like I used to be, I guess this ship was crushed at once.

"By the way, your usual words...will it become like this?" Yimi tried to touch Lan Xue's head while talking, but was avoided again.

"What are we doing like this? It's not necessary, is it?" Lan Xue just raised her hand to straighten her forehead hair, and said with big red eyes.

"Again...why did you become human?" Yimi asked casually.

When he heard this sentence, Xiao Gu raised a finger and put it to his mouth, showing a puzzled expression, and I was also slightly taken aback.

"This is the problem of this world." Lan Xue, who seemed a little unhappy, smacked her mouth, "It seems to be a kind of projection given by this world, and the projection has the most characteristic existence."

"What do you mean?" This time I couldn't understand at all.

"Can you... explain..." I saw Yimi also had a distressed expression, and it seemed that Yimi didn't understand. "I changed because I wanted to change!" Xiao Gu just smiled and raised his fist and shouted.

"Your explanation can't be an explanation..." Lan Xue just spread her hands helplessly, "An explanation that can be understood by humans and some ancient loaches is that when a certain existence in this world has the most characteristics , then other existences can also change into similar forms, and vice versa..."

At this moment, Lan Xue's face seemed to be covered with a haze:

"...on the day when the world was on the brink of destruction, it is estimated that no one, including us, could turn into a human being, because the number of human beings judged to be the most unique in this world dropped sharply on that day, just like us dragons , relying on their own methods to survive."

Afterwards, Lan Xue sighed, the haze on her face was swept away, and she regained her indifferent expression: "So now human beings are barely developed, and we can become human again. If one day human beings die It's over, we can change into other appearances every time, as for the 'most characteristic' standard, I don't know."

"..."

The four of us fell into silence. After an unknown period of time, Yimi sighed softly: "I always feel that many things are related to disasters..."

I……

"So I won't mention these past things, just think it's not good for me who asked this question just now." Surprisingly, Yimi said this sentence calmly, which made the three of us look surprised look at her.

"You don't need to look at me with that kind of eyes, I will admit something occasionally..." Yimi said, turning her blushing face away slightly, but I don't think the problem is here...

"Yimi, can you see our eyes?"

"Guess?" Yimi covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "You fell silent after I finished saying that, isn't it because of my words?"

"..." Just when I fell into silence, Yimi raised her hand and lightly pressed my shoulder, and said to the three of us:

"You may have lived longer than me, and you must have seen a lot of things that no human being knows, but now, we are all living here, I think this is already very good, isn't it?"

"Do you still use human beings to say this?" After Lan Xue uttered this sentence with a twisted face, she still showed a slight smile.

"Yeah!" Little Gu jumped on Yimi again, but Yimi still didn't let go of his hand on my shoulder.

I raised my hand, trying to put my hand on Yimi's, but I put it down anyway.

"yes……"

We are all living well here.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Come on, so I can finally write a diary again. We tidied up the ship a little bit, and finally helped Yimi find a place that would make her happy, but how many days is it today? Let me see The last diary...ah, let's take it as No.40 five days."

After I patted the dust off my hands, I slowly flew towards the ship.Now, there is already our new stronghold.

But Wu Shao didn't come here all day, but she didn't just run here every day.

In the dark night sky, only the stars are shining.

I turned my body upside down, facing the sky, and watched the stars, as small as grains of sand, form a shining... river in the sky.

I haven't looked up at the night sky much since the day the moon disappeared.

But now, looking at the countless colors that seem to drown her, is this the beauty that Yimi said?

After turning around, I fell to the ground and walked gently towards the entrance and exit of the cabin surrounded by boulders.

"I don't think I was wrong that day."

I couldn't help being startled by the unfamiliar voice that suddenly sounded, I hurriedly took a step and looked towards the source of the voice.

"I don't think we are meeting for the first time. You should be the 'Little Black' that Her Royal Highness the Princess called."

Under the shadow of the boulder, a white figure that could be submerged by the darkness slowly stepped out.

"Your Highness, the Knight Commander of the Guards, seems to have mentioned this name too."

The golden pupils light up in the darkness, like the only star in the night.

When I saw that golden color that seemed to be burning... I don't know why.

I think of a pair of blue eyes that seem to absorb the entire night sky.

Yimi's eyes.
