doomed [last days]

A few birdsong opened the curtain in the sky, and when the first ray of light entered the yard, the people in the house were still asleep.When Lin Shen opened his eyes again, the sunlight coming in through the window had dispelled the slight chill of the night.

But no matter how warm the sun is, it is not as warm as Lin Shen's embrace.She blinked, and the off-white silk cloth was in front of her eyes, and the place where her forehead was pressed was soft and warm.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she woke up instantly.With red ears, Lin Shen moved back a little, and when he looked up, he met Shi Yiran's smiling eyes.

It's like the epiphyllum that should bloom at night, but it only blooms for her.

"Are you awake? How about getting up?" Shi Yiran looked into her bright eyes and asked softly.

She woke up just before dawn, when Lin Shen was in a deep sleep, the frown she had frowned last night had already eased, and she would twitch her mouth occasionally, maybe she dreamed of something delicious.Later, she tried to close her eyes, but she couldn't fall asleep, so she just lay there and waited until Lin Shen woke up.

Her tone was so gentle, as if she was coddling a baby in her arms, Lin Shen's ears turned red.She faltered, arched upwards, and lay down on the pillow.She kneaded Shi Yiran's arm slowly, and then said: "Get up right away."

Lin Shen concentrated on what he was doing, and after he finished speaking, he didn't notice Shi Yiran's blushing cheeks, as if a layer of red gauze had been spread on his face.

Shi Yiran's face felt a little hot, but she didn't withdraw her arm.Lin Shen's movements were so gentle, it reminded her of the indistinct touch there when she woke up in the morning.

Her eyes faltered for a while, Shi Yiran let her rub her arm, she pulled it back after a while, and urged: "Get up soon, don't get up anymore, Anlu and the others are going to get up."

In fact, her estimate was correct. When they walked out of the main house, Anlu was sitting by the stove adding firewood, while Meng Shurong was sitting beside her and handing her firewood. Seeing them get up , Anlu greeted first.

Seeing the hot water boiling on the stove, Shi Yiran was a little embarrassed, she took two quick steps, and said, "I want something for breakfast, I'll go get it from the kitchen."

There are rice and noodles at home, all of which are stored in the kitchen. An Lu and Meng Shurong, who fell asleep in the kitchen last night, naturally saw it too.But in their hearts, the two people in front of them had done their best to take them in, so why would they make all kinds of demands.

Finally, under Lin Shen's decision, he added a little yesterday's broth to the boiling water, cut a few tomatoes and put them in to make a pot of noodle soup.

After eating a bowl of hot noodle soup, Lin Shen's energy returned.Yesterday, she wasn't really guilty, but ordinary people would hesitate to kill chickens and fish, not to mention the possibility of killing someone?A living life is hard to forget easily.

But she is not a hypocritical and cowardly person. After eating, Lin Shen dragged Anlu to the mountains.I heard that Anlu grew up in the countryside, so he must know a lot of wild vegetables.

Shi Yiran, who stayed at the forest ranger station, was not idle either. Although she was not a talkative person, she couldn't leave Meng Shurong alone.

The easiest thing for a person who has escaped from despair is to fall back into despair.

She took Meng Shurong to pack the things that An Lu brought over. Yesterday they just carried these things back to the house and rested without much packing.Looking at it today, apart from a few boxes of water and some food, Anlu's big and small bags actually contained so many textiles.

"We met her near Jianyuan before," Shi Yiran said. At that time, she still couldn't see Anlu's appearance clearly. "She lived in a textile factory by herself, so I must have brought all these things from there." .”

Meng Shurong looked at all kinds of textiles in the bag, and with a slight arc in the corner of his mouth, he replied, "No wonder you carry these."

After resting all night, her voice is no longer so hoarse, it sounds like a southern accent, with a little softness.But there was no emotion in her tone, a little awkward and a little taken for granted.

"Let's tidy it up and discuss how to use it after they come back." Shi Yiran suggested.

It was agreed last night that An Lu and Meng Shurong would stay at the forest ranger station.Shi Yiran felt that it was not good for two people to sleep in the tent in the kitchen all the time. If they could get a bed for two people in the future, these things might come in handy.

Meng Shurong let out an "um", and his subordinates kept moving.

After tidying up these things, Shi Yiran walked aside and looked at the tomato seeds drying on the window sill.Before, after the tomato seeds fermented to produce mold, she sifted out the tomato seeds and dried them on the windowsill.It's been in the sun for a few days, so it should be dry.

She glanced at Meng Shurong who was standing aside, and said with a smile: "This kind of seed should be ready, and the seedlings are about to start, do you want to come together?"

Tomato seedlings are actually not troublesome, and Shi Yiran is not going to use all these seeds, so let's try it first.So she could do it by herself, but after she finished speaking, she stood there and looked at Meng Shurong with kindness on her brows.

Meng Shurong didn't make her wait for too long, but nodded slightly, following her lowering movement, the drooping hair blocked the corners of her red eyes.

Shi Yiran didn't say much, and started with Meng Shurong.They don't have peat pots, and they can't use bowls to raise seedlings, so they plan to use the vegetable bed under the west wall corner.

When hoeing the land before, Lin Shen watered the land.So when Shi Yiran went to get the ashes, Meng Shurong simply turned the ground as Shi Yiran said.After sprinkling with plant ash and turning it over again, the two people stepped on the small piece of land where tomatoes were going to be planted and leveled it.After placing the tomato seeds at a similar distance, Shi Yiran sprinkled the soil that had just been left on top of the seeds.

"Is this all right?" Meng Shurong asked.

Shi Yiran poured some water on it, thought for a while, and replied: "The book says to cover with a plastic film, we..."

While she was talking, she heard a voice behind her. Looking back, Lin Shen and An Lu were walking in. One was carrying firewood and an axe, and the other was holding something like a handful of weeds.

"Are you back?" Shi Yiran put the hoe aside and went up to meet her.

Lin Shen let out a "huh" and said while picking up the basket behind him, "Fortunately, Anlu is here. I saw those shallots before and thought they were weeds, so I almost missed them."

The shallot she was talking about was something Anlu was holding. Meng Shurong had already taken it from Anlu's arms, and took it to the kitchen.

Seeing her movements, Lin Shen and Shi Yiran looked at each other, feeling a little relieved.What she and Shi Yiran were most worried about was Meng Shurong, fearing that she would collapse and lose hope in life.But Meng Shurong told them with actions that he did not.

However, if you want to see any rich expressions on her face, you may have to wait for a while.

"What are you doing?" Lin Shen asked casually.

"Just after planting tomatoes, the book says that it is best to keep the temperature between 26 degrees and [-] degrees when raising seedlings, and it may be covered with a layer of plastic film."

The temperature has risen in May, and it is no problem to keep it in this range during the day.But the nights in the mountains are cool, so I don't know if it will have any impact on the seedlings.

While they were talking, An Lu, who followed Meng Shurong into the kitchen, came out, and after listening to it, he still suggested to spread plastic film, but not directly, but to find some bow-shaped branches on the ground and spread plastic film on it.If there is no plastic film, transparent plastic bags are used instead. In short, the few of them really built such a "greenhouse".

After that, you just need to check the moisture level of the soil every day.

After it was done, the three of them were lining up to wash their hands in turn, and Meng Shurong came out of the kitchen with the pot in hand.She stood by, waiting for them to wash their hands before fetching water for cooking.

Lin Shen gave way to Anlu, but unexpectedly, the person who was about to wash his hands suddenly gave way back.She was a little surprised, but looked at the person standing beside Meng Shurong, and said nothing.

"Sister Shurong, I'll just fetch the water!" Anlu rubbed her dirt-stained hands and said with eyes bent.

She laughed until the second sun in front of Meng Shurong's eyes, but Meng Shurong would avoid her outstretched hand, "Let me do it."

After finishing speaking, the emotions of the people in front of him were visibly depressed. Meng Shurong couldn't bear it, so he added: "You wash your hands first."

Hearing her words, Anlu's eyes lit up instantly. After Lin Shen washed her hands, she quickly washed her hands, and immediately took the pot that Meng Shurong was holding, and drenched in water.

Meng Shurong stood aside empty-handed, a little uncomfortable.Anlu is a ray of light that broke into her dilapidated world. Although she is tiny, she has spikes all over her body to protect her.Although it was Lin Shen who saved the two of them in the end, without Anlu, Lin Shen might not have found them at all.And because of her, this child has seen the ugly side of human nature. When facing her, he always doesn't want to see her lost, and doesn't want to see the expression of fear on that somewhat innocent face again.

Those who were thinking wildly did not hear what Anlu said, and when she realized it, Anlu was standing in front of her with a basin of water in a daze.

She subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

"I, I'm just asking, what is Sister Shurong trying to do with the water?"

What she meant was to ask clearly, and then help Meng Shurong bring the pot of water over.But she didn't expect to receive a merciless ridicule from Lin Shen after she finished speaking.

"It's eleven o'clock, of course the water is for cooking!"

Anlu looked over, and Lin Shen, who came out of the kitchen, was looking at him with a handful of shallots.Shi Yiran, who came out behind her, looked over with a faint smile as if her face was stained with pink.

Anlu frowned, always felt that these two people were a bit eye-catching!
