"Mother, we've finished eating the meat."

I don’t know when I set foot on this wasteland. It was hard to see anything except rocks and rain, and there was no shelter. When I got really sleepy, I hugged my mother on the muddy ground.

I barely fell asleep, and I was happier than anything else when the rain stopped.

I am not afraid of these environments. I have experienced far more difficult places and have long been accustomed to many things. The rain on my body neither hurts nor loses any piece of flesh. Compared with some times, it is already a kind of enjoyment.

But the road ahead is endless, and without food, can we just hope to keep drinking water to satisfy our hunger?

"Mother, we've finished eating the meat..."

"oh."

What does such a simple "Oh" mean? I raised my voice, ran up to her and held her hand, saying: "Without food, I will starve to death in ten days. Will I eat you then?"

"No, you only lasted for more than two months a year ago. I remember another time when I was hungry for nearly four months before I found food. Ten days will definitely be no problem."

One year ago? No wonder I always feel a lot thinner. Watching her speak seriously, sometimes I really wonder how I have survived until now, "Mom, will you deliberately bully me while my memory is bad?"

"I've been bullying you all the time. Why do I have to be so sneaky? You dig traps, hunt, make fires, and handle food...you do almost all of it. I often snatch food from your mouth to eat, and pinch your face when nothing happens. You

Have you forgotten all? Then can I be more unscrupulous?"

Of course I remember these, and after her reminder like this, I remembered a lot, and my mother's image in my heart almost collapsed.

"I will definitely eat you after ten days!" I said viciously, then sighed and ran forward.

Of course, it is impossible to eat my mother. The most I can do is lie on her back and take a bite. If she doesn't want to, I won't even be able to take that bite.

But the worry is real. There is no end to this road at all. Even if we can persist for a few months as my mother said, what will happen after that.

…

…

After that, every day that passed, I felt more depressed and walked faster and faster. I didn’t know how many times I urged my mother along the way.

"Gu Gu Gu——"

This day came much faster than I expected, but on the third or second day, my stomach started growling.

The annoying rain stopped at some point and did not fall again, causing me to wait in vain for several days in hunger.

"It was raining so hard one second and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Are you afraid that we will survive? Mother, you are right, God is such a bastard!"

This is the only thing I can do. If I resist powerlessly, death will come to me sooner or later.

I walked in despair, dejected, feeling the fear of death deep in my heart, worse than a walking corpse.

At this moment, something grabbed the corner of my clothes. I was startled and turned around quickly. It turned out to be my mother.

She pointed forward and looked at it carefully for a while, then seemed to hesitate and said: "The boundary between mountains and seas?"

I was still thinking about what strange words she was talking about. When I turned around and looked in the direction she was pointing, I saw a huge stone monument standing with strange patterns carved on it. Behind the stone monument

, a city vaguely emerged.

"What is that?" In an instant I couldn't hide my excitement. I knew without guessing that I was finally getting out of this hellish place.

Mother looked at the stone tablet a few more times and said, "It should be the words Shanhaijie. They are such ancient characters."

"Hurry up and leave!"

No matter what I was doing, I couldn’t wait to drag my mother and run wildly. I ran for half an hour in one breath. When I reached the bottom of the huge stone monument, I could barely see the city behind me. There was also a stone monument standing on the other side of the city, and I

The piece next to it is about the same size, with three words engraved on it, Shanhaicheng.

"The realm of mountains and seas," I read out like my mother, and then read in the human language: "City of mountains and seas."

It's a little strange. The meanings written on the stone tablets are all the same, so why are there two tablets one behind the other, and the fonts are in different styles.

"Shuangxuan, come and take a look."

My mother was deep in thought under the stone tablet engraved with the boundary between mountains and seas. I walked over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at this stone."

I think it's a little strange, but no matter how strange it is, it's just a stone, just a little bigger.

"...I've seen it, can I go?"

"Okay. Wait, let me take another look...Okay, let's go~~"

…

After passing the huge stone monument in Shanhaijie, we walked for nearly an hour and finally arrived at the foot of Shanhai City.

Although Shanhai City is also very large, it is far less exaggerated than the ancient city. The height of the city wall is only a hundred feet at most, and the left and right sides are the same as the ancient city, immeasurable.

There were many human beings gathering outside the city gate. Their goal was probably the direction my mother and I came from. I didn’t know what there was to go to in that kind of place, but they were still going there in groups.

Many humans passed by my mother and I, and they all gave the beast disgusting looks, but I didn't seem to care much about their human status.

"Mother, I seem to be a little used to disgusting humans." This was definitely a surprise. Although I didn't understand what was going on, I had to control this if I wanted to walk in human territory.

Not far outside the city gate, my mother and I stood for a long time.

I still remember the events in the ancient city very clearly. Now when I think back to the fierce-looking humans at that time, I can’t help but grit my teeth, afraid that a group of humans will rush out from nowhere and attack us.

"Mother…"

I didn't make any more noise. In fact, I didn't know what to say. My mother lowered her head and looked at me, made a quiet gesture, then leaned down and held me in her arms, and walked into the city step by step.

I lay on my mother's shoulder, wandering around those humans with the corner of my eye, taking every breath with extreme caution.

One moment, one breath, ten breaths...until it passes.

This city doesn't have a light curtain like the ancient city. Although there are guards inside and outside, they don't seem to care about my mother and I's existence. They don't even take a look. Everything goes so smoothly that I can't believe it. Maybe it's just luck.
