I'm the only human in the whole community

Early the next morning, Fu Yu came again.

She changed into gray clothes, long-sleeved trousers, her jet-black hair was coiled behind her head, and two strands could not be tied at the temples. She held a hand-woven basket in her arms, which contained some paper-wrapped seasonings and brought them with her. Soil vegetables, and a pair of brand new black cloth and white bottoms at the bottom.

The soil was wet after the rain, and Yan Qing squatted on the small stone slab, silently watching the earthworms wriggling slowly.

Fu Yu smiled at him, and asked softly, "Where's Brother Lu?"

Yan glanced at her lightly and said, "On the bed."

When Fu Yu passed him by, he suddenly added another sentence: "You'd better not go in now, I tossed too much last night, and he is still sleeping now."

Fu Yu froze for a moment, smiled gently, handed the basket to him, and said, "Then I won't go in. Not long ago, a family in the village asked me to sew a few pairs of cloth shoes. In the past, let Brother Lu take it and wear it first."

Her gaze swept past Yan Qing's feet, and she showed a considerate smile.

Lu Yao didn't get up, Yan Qing was wearing his shoes.

The young man's eyes were black and white, and after a long time of silence, it would be a little leaky, but Fu Yu was not afraid. She put her hands on the bend of her legs, squatted down slowly, and wiped off the water droplets on the bottom of her trousers , smiled and said: "You look so good-looking." There was a little envy in her eyes, and her tone was soft and soft that is unique to southern girls: "Fu Lan also looks good after washing, but it's a pity that he just wants to... want to go out, and the mountains and plains are everywhere. Running wildly, our father and mother left early, I am an older sister, and I can't discipline him."

Yan lightly poked the earthworm and let out a 'hmm'.

Fu Yu saw that he didn't like her very much, so he stood up without showing any displeasure, and said goodbye to him: "Then I'll go first, if you have something to do, go down the slope and call me."

"What about you?" Lu Yao suddenly opened the window and asked, "Don't you want to go out?"

He changed into clean clothes on his upper body, folded his hands on his chest, leaned against the window lattice, and listened there for an unknown amount of time.Fu Yu said with a smile: "I don't want to go out. You should have seen that we were abandoned here. We couldn't get out because of our lack of strength. Even a poisonous bug could kill us. This village Although it is small, the villagers are friendly, they go to the village to cultivate the fields during the day, they have enough food and vegetables, and in winter they can catch wild roe deer to add vegetables.”

"I think that's pretty good." Her eyes were watery, and she sighed, "If Fu Lan can think the same way, I'll be completely satisfied."

Lu Yao said: "If you're really willing, we might be able to take Fu Lan with us when we find the exit."

"I'm sorry." Fu Yu consciously made a slip of the tongue and avoided talking about it, saying: "I still have some handicrafts that I haven't finished. Let's talk about these things when I have time." She took a few steps, hesitated, bit her lip, Solemnly said: "You'd better not go towards the end of the village if you have nothing to do. We don't shy away from death here. Those who died are buried directly behind the hillside at the end of the village. Don't be bumped into."

Lu Yao responded.

With heavy eyes, he watched Fu Yu leave with steady steps. It was raining and the ground was slippery. The girl had a pair of yellow rubber shoes on her feet, and there was a splash of mud between her feet when she lifted her feet.

Yan Qing stood outside the window, put the basket in his hand, blocked his sight with jealousy, and said, "Don't look."

Lu Yao asked: "He has flowers growing on his back, do you have any?"

Yan Qing walked into the room, and Lu Yao was still sitting by the window.I didn't bring extra shoes when I came out this time, but I still have a few pairs of clean socks.Yan Qing held the sock in one hand, grabbed Lu Yao's ankle with the other hand, dragged him a little to the edge of the bed, then put him on, kissed his knee through the trousers, and said, "I don't , but I can take her flowers..."

tear off.

Lu Yao raised his foot against his shoulder, kicked it with a smile, Yan Qing remained motionless, and asked, "Do you want to push on the other side?"

His hands were still clasped on Lu Yao's ankles, and his fingertips slowly rubbed that piece of skin.Lu Yao shook his head, Yan Qing lowered his eyes, and put on the other sock for him. Sitting by the bed, Lu Yao suddenly said, "It's easier to cover up at night, what about during the day? How is she going to explain a person in the village during the day? nothing?"

His sensory ability is weak, compared to people like Yan Qing and Yun Jiang, and the body of the abandoned person is too weak, with heavy breathing and slow movements, so it is easy to be noticed.Last night when he sent Fu Yu back, he passed by the courtyards where dried vegetables and meat were hung, and what he heard was the long and silent sound of wind and rain, without any human breath.

This village is not what Fu Yu described at all.

It is not quiet, peaceful, and there are no kind villagers, only dead silence and a seemingly lively appearance.

So he said firmly, 'Fu Lan only has you as a family member'.

He turned to look out the window.

The sun has come out, and there are thatched huts far and near, dripping water droplets, the air is fresh and clean, and there is a refreshing feeling of washing the lungs.Not far away, there are a few smoke from cooking houses, rising in this village where there are no living people, making people feel even more creepy.

"Guarding such an empty village with my disobedient brother, lying like no one else after outsiders came, either because of mental problems, or because they are planning to do it in the dark - otherwise, when the sun rises, the village's anomalies will be wiped out immediately. exposed."

"But nothing happened last night."

"I can't figure it out even if I think about it in another place." Lu Yao was puzzled: "What do you think she is trying to figure out?"

Yan Qing said, "If it were me, I'd love you."

Lu Yao was dumbfounded, put on the shoes Fu Yu sent, the size was just right, he stretched his waist, found a whetstone from the corner, and sent Yan Qing to wash the vegetables by the way.

There is everything in the room, and the smells of different ages are mixed, which should be brought by the abandoned people who keep gathering.Yan Qing obediently found a small basin, threw fresh radishes and cabbage into it, and went to the yard to get some clean water—there were simple faucets and tap water—then sat on the threshold and cleaned it carefully.

Not far away, Lu Yao set up a whetstone, sprinkled water, and sharpened the kitchen knife sharply.

When he finished sharpening the kitchen knife, Yan Qing was still washing the vegetables.

The young man turned his back to him, and from this angle, he could only see light white fingers touching the vegetable leaves back and forth. Lu Yao stared at it for a while, then suddenly leaned over, pressed his knee on his back, and passed the sharp kitchen knife forward. He said viciously: "Which family's little daughter-in-law is so virtuous? Take it back and become Mrs. Yazhai!"

Yan Qing turned his head slowly, and said solemnly: "I made you Mrs. Yazhai, so you are not allowed to marry someone else."

He asked, "Is it a loss or not?"

Lu Yao smiled and said, "It's enough to have you alone, no loss."

Yan Qing thought for a while, then said, "You should marry."

Is this the vinegar jar opened up?Lu Yao put away the kitchen knife and asked, "Why did you change your mind?"

"After you get married, make me rations." Yan Qing said: "The family is too poor, and I will give you the rest of the food."

"...too virtuous."

Lu Yao took the wooden basin from him, put the radish on the cutting board, the kitchen knife lifted and fell, and sliced ​​it neatly and thinly. The stove was still usable, and there were dry wood and corn stalks beside him. Simply stir-fried and served to the table.

"Clean up after eating." Lu Yao said, "Let's take a look at the hill behind the end of the village, and then look for the exit."

Yan Qing asked: "Aren't you staying here?"

"No." Lu Yao said, "I'm worried about Yunjiang's side, go out as soon as possible." He picked up a chopstick for Yan Qing and said, "Fu Yu and Fu Lan may not know where the exit is, and it's not very convenient here. That's right, if you drag it on, you still don't know what will go wrong, so why not keep going down the railroad tracks."

Yan lightly paused.

They quickly packed up their things, and then walked along the path in the village to the hillside that Fu Yu had mentioned.

Along the way, many chimneys were smoking, but there was no one.

The small hillside is actually not short, at least it is four or five stories high, and the foot of the slope is covered with waist-high weeds. Lu Yao took Yan Qing's hand and walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow. It was only light rain yesterday. Now the ground is half-dry, but the weeds are still dotted with water droplets, rubbing against the clothes, which is extremely sticky.

They soon reached the top of the slope.

It's a whole other world beyond the hillside.Lu Yao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Looking down from top to bottom, the hillside seems to be split in half by someone. One half is lush and full of weeds, and the other half is like a river bank that has been dry for many years. The reddish-brown soil is condensed and cracked. Spreading everywhere, countless coffins were half-covered in the soil, and the powdery dry soil covered the coffin boards, and they were scattered in all directions by the wind. The bright light shone on this gloomy cemetery, making people feel cold in the bottom of their hearts.

Lu Yao slid down the hillside and squatted down next to a coffin.He raised his hand to brush the dust off the coffin, and the stones fell silently. The ancient totems were carved on the dead wood, and the cuts were full of broken roots of plants, carved like reptiles, densely entangled.

He looked at it for a while, then stood up silently.

Originally, he wanted to find out, but at this moment, he suddenly gave up the idea of ​​searching.

The dead are great.

The anomaly in this village has nothing to do with him, it's over if you uncover it, and it's not good to delve deeper.

"Lu Yao." Yan called him lightly.

"What's the matter?" Lu Yao asked, "Do you want to go back? The wilderness is indeed not as lively as the city..."

Yan Qing lowered her eyes and said, "Can we..."

Can I stay here for a while longer.

There are some words that turn back and forth in my heart, but not a single word can come out of my mouth.

He doesn't want to leave here.

He prefers this place to the messy world with countless people who covet Lu Yao.

There were only the two of them, and he was the only one who could look at Lu Yao.

On the other side, Lu Yao watched him patiently, and accidentally touched the coffin with his fingers. Then he turned his head in surprise, and stretched out his hand to push the coffin.

"Yan Qing." He looked serious and called out.

There's something wrong with this coffin—

too light.

The weight of the coffins varies, some weigh more than a thousand catties and are densely packed with soul-relief nails;

But this coffin, which looks heavy, is actually heavy, but when it is pushed up, it is as thin as paper, and the dust on it is constantly shaking.

Let alone a coffin, if there was a corpse inside, it would definitely weigh more than that.

Yan Qing asked, "Cremation?"

"It's not like." Lu Yao no longer hesitated, stretched out his hand and pushed the coffin board away.

It was empty inside, no bones, no urns.
