Warm light shone on Ren Hai and the others, leaving two huge figures on the earth wall behind.

This is the lighting method in the market town. The vegetable oil is squeezed out from various oily plants. There are many types of plants. Generally speaking, the residents of Xinyang Town use whatever flows out of the envelope city.

Compared with the lighting method used in the envelope city, using this oil lamp to illuminate is the most affordable. After all, this vegetable oil is extracted from plants with high radiation values.

The ground nest is not big, less than 20 square meters, and the height is about 2.5 meters. It can barely accommodate two people without appearing crowded. In the corner of the ground nest, it is a small bed made of simple wooden boards, two meters long and one meter wide, with some soft hay on it. There is a small wooden table next to the bed, and the oil lamp is placed on it.

There are dilapidated wooden houses above and solid nests below. This kind of building is a unique way of construction in northern market towns.

Envelope City is located in the northwest of the Xia Dynasty of the Federation, not far from the northwest. The terrain is mostly barren plains and loess mounds that do not grow in grass. This also caused sandstorms in the north all year round, and eventually led to the architectural style of the ground nest under the wooden house above.

Ren Hai had never seen what the buildings in the city look like, but from other people, they learned that the residents in the city lived in very solid wooden and brick houses, and it is said that there was also a kind of building called villas.

Ren Hai was very yearning for this. He also longed for him and his sister to move into such a place one day, without worrying about dangers from the wild - natural disasters such as hurricanes and sand, as well as so-called man-made disasters such as abandoned children in the wilderness, ferocious beasts, cloners, etc.

On the ground nest, sometimes dust fell down, and the banging sounds sometimes sounded, mixed with the sound of some wood hitting each other.

This is a small wooden house collapsed.

At this time, Ren Hai was moving the oil lamp away and putting it on the corner of the table. At the same time, he placed the small iron pot on the table, took out the remaining four pieces of sand scorpion meat on his body, swallowed, poured it into the boiled water, and used the residual heat to perform a simple heating.

Ren Hai took out two chopsticks from his cloth bag, placed them on the wooden table, and said, "Meng, be hungry, come and have something to eat."

"Brother, you ran to the wasteland again without hiding it." Li Meng looked very angry.

Ren Hai was stunned in place, not knowing what to say for a moment. The calmness and alertness he was in the wasteland disappeared at this moment.

"I...I don't."

"Really?" Li Meng stared at Ren Hai quietly and said three simple words.

"I...I...I..." Ren Hai panicked and hesitated for a long time and couldn't speak.

"You set off before dawn. I asked Aunt Liu, you haven't been to her vegetable garden for a week, and there is no trace of you in the entire market town. Where else can you go besides the wasteland?"

Li Meng looked up and down at Ren Hai, looking at Ren Hai's thin body, and there was a slight pain in his heart. This thin body could always appear when he needed it most.

"Dream, I...how did I go to such a dangerous place in the wasteland? You...you know mine, I am such a timid person. My biggest dream in my life is to take good care of you and not let others bully you, and then find a piece of land, various places, and build a large wooden house."

Being stared at by Li Meng, Ren Hai became a little incoherent in his speech, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

"What if many people want to catch me?" Li Meng said something that seemed completely inconsistent.

"Dad said before leaving, let me protect you." Ren Hai's face darkened, and his eyes revealed a perseverance that ordinary people could not understand.

"What then?" Li Meng continued to ask.

"And...and then, then, no, I just know that you are growing up now and needing it. In short, you are taking good care of you." Ren Hai pointed to the sand scorpion meat in the pot and said.

His idea is very simple, to protect Li Meng and take care of Li Meng. As for what will happen in the future, what else can I think of.

"We will eventually separate, what should you do then?" Li Meng's words were clearly transmitted to Ren Hai's ears.

"I...I don't know." Ren Hai thought for a while, but still had no answer.

Looking at Ren Hai who was standing still, Li Meng walked forward, hugged Ren Hai's waist tightly, and said, "Brother, promise me not to go to the wasteland. You must live well, find something you like to do, live for yourself, not for me." After Li Meng said that, let go of Ren Hai, walked to the small wooden table, and took out two "bowls" and a pair of chopsticks from under the small wooden table.

Living for yourself, living for yourself...

So, is that dream supposed to be put on the agenda...

Ren Hai's thoughts drifted many years ago. Since he had memories, his father took him to live in Xinyang Town. One night when he was three years old, his father went out. When he came back, he was holding a baby girl in his arms, which is now Li Meng.

A simple life is as plain as water, but in this ordinary life there are always some small surprises, and life is comfortable. The good times do not last long. When Ren Hai was twelve years old, his father left. No one knew where he went. When his father left, he solemnly told Ren Hai to protect Li Meng.

Just as Ren Hai recalled, a crisp sound came into Ren Hai's ears: "Brother, eat, I won't eat it even if you don't eat it."

His thoughts were gradually pulled back into the ground. Looking at Li Meng's undeniable look, Ren Hai gently picked up the bowl.

He knew that Li Meng always did what he said.

The turbid soup was mixed with two pieces of milky white sand scorpion meat, which looked very attractive. The stomach acid in the abdomen was secreting. Ren Hai did not hesitate and picked up a piece of sand scorpion meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and began to chew it.

The shell on the outside is very hard but tastes good, especially the sand scorpion meat inside, which is smooth and tender but not greasy, which is a unique taste of protein. Soon, two pieces of sand scorpion meat entered Ren Hai's belly. Ren Hai, who felt very happy, drank the remaining soup in the bowl in one breath.

Hmm? It's a bit salty.

"Where did the salt come from?" Ren Hai asked curiously as he looked at Li Meng who was eating sand scorpion meat.

Salt is a scarce product. You will only eat a little unless you are extremely short of salt. Usually, there is no salt. If Ren Hai remembers it well, the last bit of salt left at home was already eaten two days ago.

Li Meng's eating habits are much more elegant than Ren Hai. After hearing Ren Hai's inquiry, Li Meng put down the bowls and chopsticks and said, "When I went to Aunt Liu's house today, there was a job, so I helped me. Before leaving, Aunt Liu picked a piece of bitter grass leaves and a small pinch of sand and salt. You went to the wasteland today and needed salt."

Hearing this, Ren Hai couldn't help but feel relieved.

Sand salt is a kind of salt with the lowest quality. The salt has larger particles and is mixed with sand, so it is called sand salt. Further up, it is coarse salt.

"Is Du Litao here today?" Ren Hai asked a question he was very concerned about.

"Here you." After Li Meng heard the name Du Litao, his eyes showed disgust.

"What did you say?" Hearing this answer, Ren Hai frowned and asked hurriedly.

"I'll give me the last three days, saying he's not a person who likes to force. After three days, if I don't want to marry him, he'll kill you."

"Ha! Isn't this arguing about coercion? It's so high-sounding." A gleam was revealed in Ren Hai's eyes, and he had the urge to kill.

There is a kind of person in this world who is called the darling of heaven. They can resist nuclear radiation since childhood. Compared with ordinary people, the nuclear radiation in their bodies is very low, and Li Meng belongs to this kind of person.

After research, it was found that offspring born to such people have a certain chance of developing this physique.

After discovering Li Meng's special point, Ren Hai already knew that there would always be such a day, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Brother, don't be impulsive. After all, he is a city man. If he really can't do it, let's leave here." Seeing Ren Hai's appearance, Li Meng regretted telling this matter. If Brother didn't understand and killed Du Litao, then Brother wouldn't be able to survive.

She never thought that Ren Hai did not have the strength to kill Du Litao, and had been in the wasteland for many years. Ren Hai had already had the ability to fight any normal adult male, which was beyond doubt.

"Leave, where are you going to leave? Okay, eat quickly, take a break after breakfast, and build a wooden house tomorrow morning. I will find a way to do this." Ren Hai didn't want to continue discussing this topic. As for Du Litao's affairs, he needs to plan carefully in the past few days.

When Li Meng saw Ren Hai's expression, she knew that no matter what she said, her brother couldn't listen to it. If she really couldn't do it, she smashed the black beads.

This is something that only I know. My father said back then that in the future, there may be many people who want to arrest him. His departure is also for himself. When one day, when he encounters an insolvent crisis, he will break this black bead.

As for what is in the black bead? What happens after it is broken? Li Meng doesn’t know.

Soon, Li Meng withdrew her thoughts and quietly ate the sand scorpion meat in the bowl. Thinking about it, my brother had exchanged for his life, she felt very uncomfortable. She couldn't stop my brother from going to the wasteland to hunt, so she could only pray silently while he was hunting.
