Anchor, your box lunch is here

Rain on Wednesday April 2002, 2

I'm so hungry, so hungry, I only ate half a steamed bun from yesterday to now, I'm about to starve to death.

I shrank in the corner and saw the pedestrians coming and going. Their eyes were dull, their faces were haggard, and they were skinny and bone-like. It was said that they had eaten "white sugar" before they became like this.

Isn't candy sweet?Why do people become so terrible after eating it?

My parents died from eating "white sugar". Everyone here eats "white sugar". Everyone is very poor. I have never seen a car. I heard that there are many cars in big cities, and there are still too many to eat. Mantou, I really want to go to a big city...

After squatting for a long time, I finally saw a man from a foreign country coming towards me. He threw a crumpled fifty-cent note into my broken bowl. I was so happy that I immediately rushed forward and hid the money in my chest. .

But it was still seen by the "Beatle".

"The Beetle" walked towards me, and he asked me to hand over the money, saying that it was what he had begged for, and that the man was going to give it to him, but because I squatted closer, he threw it into my bowl.

I am very afraid of "The Beetle". He is taller and fatter than me, but I can't give him the money. If I give him the money, I will have no money to hand in when I go back. I will be beaten by the old witch with a stick. The stick is thick and thick. Strong, it hurts me so much.

Seeing that I didn't give it to him, the "Beetle" got angry, pushed me to the ground, and found the money out of my clothes. I cried and begged him to return the money to me, but he threw me away hard. , other beggars were all around the "Beatle", and no one was willing to help me.

Obviously, the friends in the yard are all dead like me, parents, everyone is very pitiful, why do they still bully me?

I didn't understand, so I could only bury my head in my knees and cry sadly.

"This is the wooden house in the forest that An Qi is clamoring to come to? It seems... very ordinary?" Liang Man rubbed his arms that were a little chilled by the night wind and said.

Looking at the wooden house in the dark, Liang Man instinctively felt a sense of repulsion in his heart. He always felt that it was not a wooden house, but a giant beast, waiting for them with its mouth wide open.

"Why are you still standing there? Aren't you looking forward to coming out to play? The boys help the girls take out the suitcases and go in quickly. It's getting late."

Ren Xiangchen's greeting voice calmed Liang Man's uneasiness, and she immediately walked over to take her suitcase. Lu Bai helped Ren Xiangchen take everyone's luggage out of the luggage compartment, and soon everyone took their own things. , Ren Xiangchen closed the door of the luggage compartment.

"Let's go, this place has already been cleaned up in advance, and the meat and vegetables we ate during this time have also been delivered. Everyone can prepare dinner after packing up."

Ren Xiangchen was the first to push open the wooden door, which creaked softly, as if welcoming the group of visitors.

Ren Xiangchen found the light switch in the living room with the help of the flashlight of his mobile phone. After pressing it, the chandelier above his head immediately lit up, and the warm yellow light illuminated all corners of the living room. Then Ren Xiangchen followed the same pattern and turned on the lights in all the rooms. The whole wooden house immediately became brighter.

Although the wooden house is located in a remote place, wires are buried, so people don’t have to worry about electricity and water use. After all, they are here for vacation, not to remember bitterness and sweetness, so the living facilities in the wooden house are fairly complete, including refrigerators, water heaters, etc. have.

Seeing this scene, the uneasiness in Liang Man's heart completely disappeared. Deng Anqi even took out her mobile phone and took a picture, wanting to send it to Moments.

"Oh, the Internet here is too bad, and I can't even post the pictures." Deng Anqi complained immediately after finding out that the upload of the pictures failed.

The others took out their mobile phones and found that the signal was empty, only Chaoan's mobile phone had one cell left, but the calls were still intermittent.

"It's like this in the mountains. The signal is good and bad. Tomorrow, find an open place and you should be able to have a signal." Ren Xiangchen comforted Deng Anqi, then turned to everyone and said, "Okay, according to the previously allocated room, everyone first Go back to your room and pack your things."

Before coming to the wooden house, everyone had seen the floor plan of the wooden house and divided the rooms in advance. Apart from the living room (the kitchen is in the living room) and the bathroom, there were five rooms left in the wooden house. Ren Xiangchen, Xu Ze, Liang Man and Deng Anqi has one room each, and Chaoan and Lu Bai have one room.

Lu Bai was added later, and he didn't consider his room when planning, and he was also worried about Chao An's health, so he simply shared a room with Chao An.

"Then what should they do?" Liang Man asked, pointing to the mother and daughter who were quiet along the way. The two hadn't spoken since getting in the car, and it was really easy to ignore them if they didn't pay attention along the way.

Ren Xiangchen originally planned to help them call their family when they arrived, but the signal is not good now, so it is estimated that the call can only be made tomorrow morning, but it doesn't matter, they will stay here for the night anyway.

"Give them my room. I'll spend the night in the living room." Xu Ze whispered, and when he found that everyone was looking at him, he immediately lowered his head, and the tips of his ears were reddened under the broken hair.

Only then did Chaoan realize that this taciturn colleague might not be approachable, but rather shy.

"Ozawa, haven't you caught a cold recently? I'll sleep in the living room, anyway, I'm anti-freezing." Ren Xiangchen said with a smile.

"But..." Xu Ze wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Deng Anqi.

"It's alright, alright, don't let it go, I only allow you to be good people? Manman and I are hard-hearted? I will move in to sleep with Manman tonight, let them live in my room." Deng Anqi didn't care Speaking of which, she and Liang Man were good friends, and it was normal to sleep together, she didn't care about it at all.

After listening to Deng Anqi's words, everyone felt that this was the best way so far, so they took their suitcases and went to the room. Chaoan was assigned to the innermost room in the corridor, next to the bathroom.

Pushing open the door, Chao An saw a room about ten square meters in size, with two abstract paintings and a string of ivory necklaces hanging on the wall, a 1.5-meter wooden bed by the window, and a There is a brown wooden wardrobe, and there is a single sofa in the room, but there is nothing else.

Previously, Chaoan only thought that it would be fine for two men to sleep in one bed, but he didn't expect that the bed was so small, and Lu Bai was tall, it would probably be too much for the two of them to sleep on.

Seeing Chaoan standing by the bed looking at a loss, Lu Bai knew what he was thinking, and said lightly, "It's okay, I'll make the floor."

"No, the mountain is humid, I can take up less space."

After Chao An finished speaking, he stopped worrying about the bed. He opened his suitcase, took out water glasses, toothbrushes, etc., as well as his snacks and a notebook with downloaded movies, and then he didn't know what to do. .

Chaoan had no choice but to look back at Lu Bo, and found that he had wiped the bedside table, bedside and wardrobe with a handkerchief soaked in disinfectant, then put away the sheets on the bed, and took out a set of home sheets from the suitcase The bed was laid and the quilt cover was changed.

Chao An immediately explained, "Both the bed sheets and quilt covers were just changed by the team leader. They are new."

"I know, the quality is too poor, you sleep more comfortably at home."

"..."

After making the bed, Lu Bai hung a few bamboo charcoal bags in the closet, and then hung Chaoan's coat and his own coat in it. He left the other close-fitting clothes in the suitcase without touching them.

In addition to bed sheets and quilt covers, Lu Bai also brought a lot of first aid medicines and tools. He even brought incense, an incense burner, and the little pig that Chao An was sleeping with. Chao An finally knew why Lu Bai’s suitcase belonged to someone else. Twice as big.

After tidying up the bed and wardrobe, Lu Bai saw that he still had plenty of time, so he mopped the floor and wiped the sofa. It was a strange room, but after Lu Bai tidied it up, he felt at home. Chaoan sniffed the faint smoke in the air. The scent confirms that Lu Bo is a must-have for home travel...a tool man.

After tidying up the room, Chaoan came to the living room and found that the mother and daughter were already cooking. The mother was cutting tomatoes stiffly, while the little girl was helping to peel garlic. There was no communication between the two, but it seemed Very harmonious.

"You guys came here so early, do you need me to do something?" Chao An asked with a smile, his smile was very warm, which could make people who saw it relax unconsciously.

"Well, there's nothing to clean up, so I want to come over early to help." The mother whispered, putting the tomatoes on the chopping board into the plate. When she raised her hand, Chao'an found a knife wound on her thumb. But no blood came out.

"Why don't you tell me you're hurt? I'll get you a Band-Aid."

The mother looked down at the wound on her thumb in a daze. She seemed to realize it, and then immediately put away the kitchen knife in her hand and took two steps back with an unnatural expression.

"Let me do it." Lu Bai put on his apron and began to wash his hands. After washing, he took out a few eggs from the refrigerator and beat them, and took over the work of cooking.

Just at this time, Chaoan came back, and he handed the band-aid to his mother.

"Go to rest if you are injured, we are enough here."

The mother hung her head and said nothing, when Chao An was about to leave, she suddenly grabbed Chao An's sleeve, raised her pale face and said, "Go, don't stay here."

Chao An paused, turned his head to look into his mother's eyes, well, his pupils were dilated and gray, he smiled again, and said slowly, "I can't walk..."

……

Not long after, Ren Xiangchen and Xu Ze also came to help, only the two girls were still dawdling, the mother was sitting on the sofa beside the little girl, and everyone was busy chatting.

"By the way, I don't know your names yet?"

"My name is He Qing, and this is Ruirui."

"Why have you never heard Ruirui speak?"

"She can't talk."

As soon as He Qing finished speaking, Liang Man and Deng Anqi came out of the room. Deng Anqi immediately asked in surprise, "Why can't I speak? Why can't I speak?"

"She lost her tongue."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and Liang Man's smile was a little stiff.

"What does a missing tongue mean? A congenital disability or—"

Before Liang Man finished speaking, Ruirui opened her mouth to her. In the bloody mouth, half of her tongue was broken, and the remaining half was a bloody mess, wriggling with the movement of swallowing.

Liang Man's mind went blank. After a pause of about three seconds, she screamed.
