    Chapter 9

    When the morning light came on the next day, Shi Hua was sleeping hazily. She felt itchy on her face. She couldn't help but rub it. She opened her eyes and faced a pair of bright black eyes.  The owner smiled, and Xie Ling said cheerfully: "Ajiu, get up."

    Shi Hua sat up with her hands on her hands. It was a sunny day outside the window, illuminating the house. She hated the bright sunshine, but she couldn't help it. They had to hurry, so they had to get up and the two of them tidied up hastily.  , seeing that nothing was missing, he restored the furnishings of the house to their original state, went out, hung the half-broken lock on it, and then left.

    After setting out on the road, she still walked downstream along the dry creek. Different from Xie Ling's relaxation, there was always a layer of lingering melancholy in Shi Hua's heart. The bamboo tube on her back was empty, leaving only  The last steamed bun, and a small handful of peanuts, which the two of them had to dig out from between their teeth, were filled with half a tube of water, which could barely last a while.

    But obviously, the two of them were only going out and not coming in. It was only a matter of time before they ran out of ammunition and food. As Shi Hua walked, she tried her best to observe the surroundings, trying to find something to feed them.  There is no need to face the cruel situation of starving to death next.

    But things went against their expectations. From early morning to dusk, they found nothing for the whole day. Shi Hua only felt that her legs were extremely sore and weak, but she did not dare to stop. It was okay as she was used to walking, and her bones were numb, but if  Once he stops, he will probably fall to the ground immediately.

    Xie Ling lowered his head and chewed half of a grass root numbly in his mouth. He had been chewing a grass root as long as his little finger for an afternoon. The grass root was tough at the beginning and finally turned into a pulpy grass paste.  His stomach growled with hunger, and he glanced down at the path under his feet. There were no stones, dead grass, or fallen leaves, and not even a single insect was found. Probably even the insects had starved to death.

    Xie Ling's eyes lingered on the stones for a while. He thought to himself that it would be great if the stones could also fill his stomach. Then, his vision blurred for a moment. He blinked and then chewed hard.  Swallowed the ball of grass roots.

    The rough thatch scraped across his tender throat, causing a rough pain. It was not pleasant, but Xie Ling remained silent. After swallowing the thatch, he felt much better in his stomach and chewed several sticks in a row.  , he didn¡¯t feel hungry.

    By the time Shi Hua found out, Xie Ling had already eaten all the grass roots given to him. She frowned and asked worriedly, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

    Xie Ling shook her head and said, "No."

    Shi Hua sighed and took off the bamboo tube. Xie Ling knew what she meant, held her hand and said stubbornly: "I'm not hungry, so don't take it."

    There was still one last wotou in the bamboo tube. It was their last grain storage and must not be touched. Xie Ling refused to let Shi Hua take it out, but in the end, Shi Hua could only take out a few peanuts and share them between the two of them.  If you eat it, it can be regarded as a meal.

    Shi Hua observed Xie Ling and saw that there was indeed nothing wrong with him after eating the thatch root. Then she felt relieved and dug some more on the way. The juice in the thatch root was very abundant and sweet. It could last for a while when you were hungry.  .

    It's just that it's not an option to continue like this. Shi Hua's heart becomes heavier and heavier, because autumn is coming, the grass and leaves are turning yellow, and the leaves are starting to fall. It's fine during the day, with the sun shining, but once it's night, after the dew comes,  , that piece of cotton cloth is not enough to protect the two of them from the cold. If this continues, they will get sick.

    At the same time, this meant that they would not even be able to find the grass roots in a short time. Shi Hua was anxious, but there was nothing she could do. She even vaguely regretted her decision. Maybe she was wrong at the time. They followed the team from the village.  , maybe there is still a glimmer of hope.

    These thoughts flashed through her mind more than once, but to Xie Ling, Shi Hua couldn't say it. Compared with before, Xie Ling was thinner. Her face was sallow, dark and thin.  A slight push could send him into a big fall. His lips were chapped, and his eyes were round and astonishingly big, as if they would fall out of their sockets at the next moment.

    Until the last peanut was eaten and the water was gone, Xie Ling held the grass root in his mouth. He didn't dare to chew it, but just sucked it slowly, as if eating a delicious candy, and the two of them swayed.  When I walked on the path, the grass blades were dried and dried. When I stepped on them, they made a rustling sound, as if they were about to burn.

    Shi Hua looked at Xie Ling's back, and suddenly she felt extremely sad. She stopped suddenly, stopped Xie Ling, and said, "Let's eat the wowotou."

    &n?, we will survive.  "

    Xie Ling did not agree this time, and great panic seized Shi Hua's entire mind. She thought in a panic, will Xie Ling die?

    Shi Hua's mind was in chaos. She unconsciously thought of her father who died of illness. That was a very distant memory. In the impression, her father loved her very much. Every time he came back from work, he would lift little Ajiu up and let him know.  She sat on his shoulder and walked around the yard. Everywhere was filled with Ah Jiu's cheerful laughter, and her mother. When her mother was still at home, she would sit under the eaves every day, mending clothes, and occasionally  He smiled at her and her brother, and whispered to Ah Jiu to slow down, but Ah Jiu was careful not to fall.

    My brother would take little Ah Jiu up the mountains and into the water, fish and catch birds. These were the most precious things Ah Jiu kept deep in his memory. However, after years of washing, their bright colors have faded and become pale and blurry.  , until finally nothing could be seen clearly.

    Everyone left one by one. His father's cold and lifeless body, his mother's crying face, and his brother's back disappearing into the mountains with a straw basket on his back. These scenes flashed through Shi Hua's mind one by one. Finally,  It was that unforgettable fire in which nine-year-old Ah Jiu was left in the middle of the fire, crying desperately.

    There was a hint of madness in the man's paranoid voice, Hua'er, I really can't bear to leave you. If you follow me, I will treat you well

    Amidst the wild laughter, Shi Hua suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes suddenly, and the stars in the sky came into view. The burning pain seemed to still remain on her skin and flesh, and it penetrated into her bones. After a long time,  Only then did she react, thinking blankly, ah, that was Ah Jiu, but the weak Ah Jiu was already dead.

    So, who is alive now?

    There was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance, which brought Shi Hua back to her senses. She sat up desperately, pushed Xie Ling beside her, and said in surprise and haste: "Xie Ling, we are saved, Xie Ling!"

    It¡¯s just that the people beside him didn¡¯t move, they just lay there quietly, as if they were integrated with the world in the night.
