The First Order

Because of the robber and the sudden coma, Ren Xiaosu returned late. He glanced at the sky and was about to be covered by darkness. At this time, it was extremely dangerous to take prey through the market town.

During the day, people in the refuge barrier came out to rule the order. At night, those people returned to the barrier.

Of course, the people in the refuge barriers are by no means well-intentioned, but they worry that the market town will be too chaotic and will affect the labor of the refugees.

"Yo, Ren Xiaosu has a big harvest today!"

When Ren Xiaosu ran into the market town with an iron pan, someone greeted him, and the man's face was black, like he hadn't washed his face from birth to now.

This is the case for many people in the market town. In exchange for food, they go to the nearby coal mine to dig coal. These coals are transported into the refuge barrier, and then the workers can get brown bread or potatoes just enough to survive.

Not only digging for coal, but the dirty work required in the barrier will be done by people outside the barrier.

Well water in the market town is quota, so no one wants to fight more every day.There are no clean water sources nearby, or clean water sources are too dangerous, gathering wild beasts.So the people in the whole market town are dirty and can't see clearly, and Ren Xiaosu is no exception.

It's just that Ren Xiaosu never digs coal, he has his own way of survival.

At this time, Ren Xiaosu did not respond when he saw someone saying hello. He just wanted to quickly return to his shack.

Just when Ren Xiaosu passed the market town road, he was not far away from the towering rampart walls. When he looked up, he seemed to be unable to see the end of the sky.

There are not many earth and stone buildings in the market town, but more shack-like residences.

Ren Xiaosu, who was quite relaxed, suddenly became alert after entering the market town. He even pulled a bone knife from his waist.The atmosphere on the street was dimmed, and it seemed that there was danger hidden in those shacks, but after Ren Xiaosu pulled out his bone knife, those tempting people calmed down again.

The first thing Ren Xiaosu learned from living here is not to trust anyone... except Yan Liuyuan.

A whisper came from the shack beside the road: "Ren Xiaosu actually caught his prey again."

"That's a prey, a sparrow."

"This is not the same as the sparrow in the old textbooks. I guess the eagle before the catastrophe is so big?"

"Don't mess with him," a voice ended the whisper, as if someone understood Ren Xiaosu's past.

Ren Xiaosu opened the curtain of his house, the warmth inside made his body no longer seem so stiff.

Yan Liuyuan, who was sitting in the shack writing homework, looked up and saw that Ren Xiaosu was back. It was a surprise: "Have you hit a sparrow?"

"Why don't you light a kerosene lamp?" Ren Xiaosu asked with a frown.

In fact, Yan Liuyuan is usually not very clever, at least not in front of anyone other than Ren Xiaosu, but when faced with Ren Xiaosu's "brother", he always tends to be more docile: "I want to save some kerosene for my family. "

"What if myopia occurs?" Ren Xiaosu put the sparrow down.

Yan Liuyuan's eyes lighted up and said: "Mr. Xuetang said that before the catastrophe there were such things as glasses. He also said that there are actually such things now. It's just that in the refuge barrier, even if you have this thing, you will not be afraid of myopia."

Ren Xiaosu dismissed this statement: "I've seen someone take you to say that, but in this wilderness entrusting vision to an object that may fall at any time is equivalent to death. Don't listen to your gentleman bragging, you Mr. Something may not be right."

"Oh..." Yan Liuyuan nodded: "Then you still send me to the school?"

Ren Xiaosu choked: "Which is so much nonsense."

"When can I hunt with you?" Yan Liuyuan asked.

"You only learned hunting when you were 14 years old? You don't need to hunt when you go to school," Ren Xiaosu said. "How to learn how to calculate accounts, and what to learn about physical chemistry, will it be better than hunting at that time?"

"You are only 17 years old," Yan Liuyuan was not convinced.

In this era, even barbarians know the importance of knowledge.

This is also the reason why Mr. Teacher can survive in the market town. No matter what happens in the market town, Mr. Teacher is always the safest one. No one will go to Mr. Teacher’s idea.

However, the tuition is expensive, otherwise Ren Xiaosu would like to listen to it.

Ren Xiaosu skillfully dissects the sparrow while holding up the iron pan: "What does Mr. Today say? This sparrow can only give you some offal, and the rest will be sold tomorrow."

"Are you injured?" Yan Liuyuan frowned when he saw the wound on Ren Xiaosu's mouth. It was pecked out by a sparrow, and the blood flow continued.

The big iron pan rests on the stick, and the fire pit in the shack will set Ren Xiaosu's cheeks up and down: "Small wound."

There was silence in the room, and it took a while for Ren Xiaosu to remove the offal of the sparrow in the pot and hand it to Yan Liuyuan: "Eat."

Yan Liuyuan suddenly red eyes: "I don't eat, you eat, you need to recover."

"I just drink some soup," Ren Xiaosu said, "I still have brown bread."

"I don't eat, you are not a minor injury at all. I saw some people in the market town just died of a wound and finally got an infection. We have no medicine here," Yan Liuyuan said stubbornly, and tears were about to flow. Down.

Snapped.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly slammed into Yan Liuyuan's face and said: "You remember, you and I can't cry in this world, this world doesn't believe in tears."

Ren Xiaosu continued: "Look at who are all around us. You don't eat enough. Someone rushed in the night and stabbed me. What should I do? I let you go to the school, I just don't want you to go hunting like me, you There are special abilities, as long as you study hard, you don’t have to go to the wilderness to get up for life as early as me. I want you to go to the school, I just don’t want you to become as brutal as they are!”

Yan Liuyuan suddenly took the sparrow guts passed by Ren Xiaosu and swallowed. The tears did not fall after all. He had to learn to be as strong as Ren Xiaosu.

"Cough, take a clean cloth to wrap up my wound after eating," Ren Xiaosu said.

"Oh," Yan Liuyuan promised.

"It's quite strange to be outside at ordinary times. How to get home is like a small gas bag," Ren Xiaosu sighed. "Nothing happened in the market town today."

"Oh," Yan Liuyuan said while looking for a clean cloth. "A group of people came out of the refuge barrier and said they wanted to find a guide who could lead the way to refuge barrier 112. They wanted to cross Jingshan directly."

"Go to Refuge Barrier 112?" Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment and frowned: "Are you going to go to the mountain?"

"You said they will find you, everyone in the market knows you are familiar with the outside," Yan Liuyuan said with a wink. "I heard that they are bands and singers inside Refuge No. 113, invited to 112 The Refuge Barrier Performance is here, I haven't seen a singer yet."

"I'm not going," Ren Xiaosu shook his head: "Whoever loves to go in the area of ​​Jingshan. You hide from them, this group of people is weird."

At this time, Ren Xiaosu's mood is a bit complicated. What kind of world is this? There are people who specialize in singing and a band?What is it like in the refuge barrier?

Ren Xiaosu suddenly aspired.
