Chapter 7 Inseparable

In addition to the previous things, there are several other things that are currently found to be used, such as a plant with a tough vein that can be used as threads to sew things after being peeled off. For example, a fruit with a strange taste is currently used as jam instead of used salt. The only drawback is that there is no stir-frying pot at all. There is a wide leaf that can be boiled on the fire after it is filled with water, but it can only be used as a disposable item to cook. Tang Yi once thought about burning some jars on the fire to serve water, but after studying for more than half a month, he finally could only burn some sunken mud embryos to use it as a stove.

For half a year, except that it is a fixed project to go to the underground palace with Xiaoxue when the moon is full every month, Tang Yi usually does nothing, builds houses, burns fires, studies some useful and useless things, and occasionally goes out with Xiaoxue to collect some plants of strange nature to meet life needs. It feels like primitive humans are gradually developing civilization.

Several things in the backpack have lost their power and stopped working. Except for the lighter that can work because it is not used for many times, there is only one compass that is semi-permanently working, and most of the other clothes and towels have been removed for other purposes. Xiaoxue learned language and gradually learned to use the Damascus saber. She was originally a little afraid of this sharp thing, but after Tang Yi let her play it several times semi-forcedly, the keenness cultivated by more than ten years of forest life quickly mastered the characteristics of this weapon, and now it has become Xiaoxue's exclusive weapon.

Although Tang Yi's motor nerves are not bad, they are much inferior to Xiaoxue. This situation is difficult to change. It is a very comfortable feeling to be with Xiaoxue every time he goes out. Now, except for some specific places guarded by fierce beasts with particularly strong sexual nature, he has explored the forest within a radius of more than twenty miles. The real dangerous situation has only happened once or twice, but fortunately they all got out of danger. After that, Tang Yi thought about improving his ability to protect himself, but those skills others came back from life and death with their own life experience. Xiaoxue usually protects him meticulously. Even if he is disabled, he may not want him to hurt a finger. Even if Xiaoxue is not there, one of the two wolves will always be with him. In the end, he just ran, jumped farther and increased his body's resistance.

Every time he went to the underground palace, Xiaoxue and the temporarily regained their glow and full of vitality were playing together. Tang Yi had to look at the stone statue of the naked female warrior. He thought of several incredible methods to remove the petrochemical, but it was useless. After a few times, he brought a large number of vines and leaves and made clothes directly on the stone statue. These things were taken up one by one by Tang Yi, and finally made a Saint Seiya look. He was very majestic in his heart when he looked at the clothes made of leaves. However, looking at the clothes made of leaves, he sighed softly. He made a piece of clothing at this time, but he didn't know when she would be able to resurrect, or he would never be able to survive again. In the long river of time, what is the meaning of this leaf coat that can only last for a few years? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel mixed feelings.

The heavy snow seemed to be endless. One day when the stone wall in the cave was painted with more than 40 words "六" in his mouth, he turned on his cell phone that he realized his situation and turned it off soon. Compared with the time, it was New Year's Eve of this year.

The cell phone battery was close to nothing, and the signal was naturally not there. He stood in the corridor of the house, facing the waterfall and the towering cliffs, and opened the text message editing window.

"goodbye."

Two text messages were sent to the numbers of father and mother respectively. Everything seemed to sink into the dark abyss. After the prompt in the service area, there was the sound of music that was running out of power. Since then, the phone has never been turned on again.

Xiaoxue stood aside and watched him raise his phone high. Snowflakes fell from the gray sky. She leaned over timidly, squeezed into Tang Yi's arms, and hugged him tightly.

Time passes by, after the snowflakes stop, the forest is immersed in the silver world, and then the weather begins to slowly warm up. After the snow fades and melts, it is the spring when all things are revived, and then it gradually enters summer.

That day they passed through the long jungle, rode on the backs of two giant wolves, and walked through the woodland where Tang Yi was still unfamiliar, heading to the opposite direction of the big cliff.

"What are you going to do? Xiaoxue, you are weird today."

Sitting on Ao Jia's back, Tang Yi looked at Xiaoxue beside her in confusion. As she ran at high speed, the silver hair stretched out behind her back. The beautiful little face had a crystal clear determination. Tang Yi had seen Xiaoxue show such an expression. All of them were dealing with powerful enemies. It was a bit strange today.

"Go to the place you always want to see Ayi..."

After a brief answer, Xiaoxue turned her head and looked at the evasive expression in front of her. She bit her lower lip lightly, as if she was trying hard to suppress the true feelings in her heart. Tang Yi said "Oh", and then, she grasped the truth of the matter.

After a moment, they appeared on the edge of the forest.

The woods began to become sparse, and what was exposed in front was a... road that passed through the woods.

The simple loess road is definitely a trace of artificiality, but surprisingly, Tang Yi was not at all excited, but turned his head to look at Xiaoxue first.

"I...I know Ayi, you always want to go back outside...I actually always know the way, just..."

Xiaoxue hugged the two clothes in her arms tightly, her face full of tears. Tang Yi looked at the road, then sighed, and hugged Xiaoxue in her arms. Over the past few days, Tang Yi has indeed had the idea of ​​going outside to take a look. In any case, he is not a physically and mentally exhausted person who hopes to live in one place. Even though his mind is indifferent, he still has the habit of being active and active for a young man.

Over the past year, Tang Yi has mentioned external situations to Xiaoxue several times. However, every time he asked about this, Xiaoxue would shake her head and say she didn't know. From then on, she has been watching him timidly all day long, and she felt depressed for many days. After a few times of such a thing, Tang Yi would not mention it anymore. However, she didn't expect that Xiaoxue actually knew these things, but she always had the worry that Tang Yi would suddenly leave, so she refused to say it.

At this time, she would bring herself here. I think it was a decision that had been repeatedly thought about for a long time. I think she would not have the slightest desire to see the outside world's thoughts. All of this was to accommodate Tang Yi. However, the situation he hoped was not like this.

He sighed lightly, looked at the road and said, "Xue'er, let's go back."

Forget it, it's enough to be here today...

After hearing what he said, Xiaoxue suddenly raised her head in his arms: "Ayi..."

Tang Yi smiled and said, "You can do this for me. Today I have already obtained the most precious thing, right? That's enough. Xueer, you are what I want to have the most... Don't worry, I will never leave you, you can't drive me away."

Xiaoxue had a trace of doubt in her eyes. Although she learned to speak, there were still things that she could not understand in Tang Yi's words. However, there was more joy from the heart: "If you don't hurry, you will never hurry..." She shook her head desperately, but there were some crystal clear things falling down in her eyes. This was the first time Tang Yi saw her crying, "But... Ayi, you still want to go and see it, right?"

"This..." Tang Yi looked at the road, "Is there anything there that looks better than Xiaoxue? I won't go..."

Xiaoxue's tears were filled with smiles on her face, but even though she was, she understood that what Tang Yi said at this time was not the truth. After thinking about it, she sent the two clothes in her hand to Tang Yi's chest, which were two pieces of cloth clothes that Tang Yi originally brought.

"Ayi... If you want to go, when will you come back... If you want to go for a long time, I won't let you go..."

Tang Yi hesitated for a while and finally said, "Xue'er, I do want to go over and take a look, but it's just to confirm something... Let's go together, I promise that we will go home for dinner in the evening."

"No, I don't want to go..." A trace of fear suddenly flashed in Xiaoxue's eyes, "The people outside... are so terrible, I, I don't want to go... I, I'll wait for you here..."

Has she ever contacted people outside before? Tang Yi had a hint of doubt in her heart, and Xiaoxue had already begun to remove the leaves and clothes on his body and began to change into dresses for him.

"...Okay, Ayi... If it were like this, they... wouldn't have caught you..." Xiaoxue looked at Tang Yi wearing clothes, and tears suddenly came out of her eyes. Then she hurriedly hung the Damascus saber on Tang Yi's waist, "Ayi, if they hit you, you can use this to cut them...you, run back quickly..." She said, and suddenly started crying again.

"Ayi...I, I dare not go..."

What exactly is it that makes her so afraid of those people outside?

Tang Yi thought to himself that Xiaoxue had dressed up for him, hugged him tightly for a long time, and finally let him go and gently pushed him towards the road.

"I'll be back soon."

Xiaoxue shook her hand. This was the way Tang Yi taught her goodbye. In the past, when Xiaoxue went out to hunt, Tang Yi would do this once, but this time it was Xiaoxue who did it to him: "My parents and I are waiting for you here, and we have been waiting for you all the time... But if you don't come back, I will go to find you, even if... even if we are caught again..."

That's it... Tang Yi felt enlightenment arose in his heart, and took a few steps, but turned his head again.

"Xue'er." He smiled, "Since you are so afraid of those people, why did you... be so nice to me?"

"Ayi, you... feel different..."

"Is it different..." He nodded, and he said to himself. When he walked on the road, he looked back and saw Xiaoxue and two giant wolves standing among the woods, waving to him.

What kind of world will it be before...?

After choosing the direction, he walked towards one end of the road. The road actually passed through the forest. Some artificial traces appeared on the side of the road, and occasionally some garbage-like things were thrown on the side of the road, sometimes paper, sometimes rags, and some strange metal products.

After walking for about half an hour, a corner appeared in front of him, and then a faint voice came. He hesitated for a while and finally walked over.

A carriage parked on the other side of the road.

Similar to the ancient carriage seen on TV, a wooden board and two wheels were carrying some goods on it, as if resting on the roadside. When he saw the people sitting around the carriage, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he is the same person as himself...

Because of Xiaoxue's words, "You feel different...", although Tang Yi understood that it was mostly different in temperament, he was still worried along the way what to do if he saw a group of monsters. Logically speaking, even though different worlds have the same ecological environment, the smart creatures developed should be different. However, Xiaoxue confirmed that this world does have human habitation. Of course, no matter what, a big stone was finally put down at this time.

Those people looked like a group of farmers, wearing rough cloth clothes, some of which were covered with patches. There were a total of six people sitting on the side of the road eating and talking, which was a language that Tang Yi could not understand.

Compared to these six people, Tang Yi was wearing a kind of "strange costume". When he saw him, the six people showed curious expressions, and then they started to discuss "chatter". Tang Yi listened to them for a while, and thought he was guessing where he came from and who he was. He sat down on the side of the road, pretending to be resting, but his hand pressed on the hilt of the knife around his waist. If these six people were really bad for him, he had to be ready to run away at any time.

However, to his surprise, without temptation or inquiry, the six people talked for a while and looked at Tang Yi with some fear, then packed up their things and quickly left in the carriage.

Fortunately, Tang Yi didn't dare to turn around before this, because he was afraid that these six people would misunderstand that he was a thief who came out to explore the way. Most of the things like this were the same everywhere. Speaking of which, knowing the difference between these people and the language he used, the purpose of his work was achieved, and he was just going back now.

He turned back along the same path and entered the forest from the same place. Xiaoxue and two wolves were waiting for him there. Although it was only more than an hour, probably due to worrying about gains and losses, Xiaoxue's face was covered with tears. As soon as she saw Tang Yi come back, she rushed into his arms and rolled on the ground together.

Back at the place where he lived, Tang Yi poured out the remaining things in his backpack, bank card, lighter, compass, flashlight, game console, mobile phone and charger. Except for leaving the lighter and compass, he picked up the rest and walked out of the room under Xiaoxue's inquiry.

"Come on."

They came to the upper reaches of the stream, and Tang Yi used the branches to dig a hole and put the things in it. After a while, all these things that did not belong to this world were buried under an inconspicuous small earthbowl.

Perhaps because she realized the meaning of Tang Yi doing this, Xiaoxue's tears burst into tears.

"I will never leave you..."

He hugged the woman beside him gently but extremely firmly.

*********************************************************************

The second month after the girl's death, a month after his sixteenth birthday, an old man he called "grandfather" closed his eyes forever in the hospital. Then there was the formal divorce of his parents.

Another month after the old man died, he and his family of three rarely met for more than ten years on a major festival. There was also a lawyer who was with him. On the top floor of the towering group company headquarters, the huge conference table was filled with documents. The four of them sat on all sides. Their parents' expressions were as strange as passers-by who had never seen before. They were like four worlds confronting each other. The parents quarreled or discussed fiercely with their lawyers, but he was as quiet as the late night in the desert.

Then sign.

When he went downstairs, he did not see any of his parents. He was just at the door of the building. Two expensive sports cars carried two people who were related to him from different directions, while he carried his schoolbag and didn't know where to chase or leave.

He suddenly felt an indescribable great anger and returned to the apartment like a mechanical one. The old man's portrait was looking at him kindly above. He gradually removed unnecessary things from his life and packed up his huge backpack.

After seeing the old man and girl who would never communicate with him again in the cemetery, he stepped into the strange forest in the golden twilight.

The fire-like clouds in the distance were like huge wings that opened when the angel returned. They raised their heads and the gods cast their downing eyes in the unreachable sky...
