The younger the human being, the stronger the metabolism. Especially when he was a baby, Ding Yao's butt scabs began to recover after two days of sun exposure. Han Yanyan not only put ointment on him seriously, but also wrapped him in diapers when he was at home.
"You're going to cry when you pee," she said, "so mother will know."
Since she didn't dislike it, Ding Yao didn't feel wronged. He tried his best to save himself and drank a lot of water beyond the normal amount of the baby to counteract the constipation caused by the single consumption of rice soup. The situation really eased a lot.
Two days later, Han Yanyan wrapped him more tightly than usual, and took him to the mine cart first, then the elevator, to the top of the mountain, and out of the mine. This is the first time Ding Yao has been "outside" since he opened his eyes.
It was a pity that everything was blurry, and only a few huge shadows seemed to be seen in the sky.
Suddenly, I heard Han Yanyan say, "There is another ship coming."
ferry? Is it by the sea here? But Ding Yao held his ears and stopped, the baby's sensitive hearing did not hear any sound of sea waves, only the sound of wind everywhere. The temperature is like late autumn, a little cold.
Han Yanyan hesitated for a while, sighing and giving up, as if there was something embarrassing.
"Wait when you're older. You're too young and soft now. It's hard to run when someone takes you." She patted him lightly and said, "Grow up quickly, even the environment is getting worse and weaker. The animals on the spot can hardly survive here, let alone human children."
Ding Yao's eyes, which had been closed, opened again. The baby's mouth was tightly sipped. Leaning in Han Yanyan's arms, he stared at the sky that could not be seen at all.
Although he didn't see the "boat", Ding Yao speculated that because the "boat" was coming, going to the "boat" might be an opportunity to earn coins or materials. But because of him, the girl didn't go out again. She only carried him down to the mine every day.
The mine is not only deep, but its structure is as complex as an ant's nest. But Ding Yao never met anyone inside, so he speculated that this was a ore vein that had been mined and abandoned. What the girl dug inside was actually the leftover corners after the main vein was hollowed out, that is, picking up leaks.
She seems to live off this.
But it's really hard to say that something like this is missing. She digs hard for a day, and sometimes she can dig up a few pieces. Her detection instrument is also ineffective from time to time, and it is not very reliable.
One day back in the cave, Han Yanyan took out a few pieces that were excavated that day from his pocket and threw them on the wooden box used as a dining table. The biggest piece is just the size of a baby's fist.
Although Ding Yao couldn't see clearly, the clang clang sound suddenly made him react. Isn't this sound exactly the same as the "coin" that Han Yanyan used to take him out to sell items and buy daily necessities at the market? It turns out that this ore can be used directly as currency here.
Ding Yao has noticed that many parts of this world are different from the ordinary world. But he came from the zombie apocalypse, no matter what the world was like, it wouldn't surprise him.
He only cares about whether he can survive safely, whether he can grow up healthy, and then become stronger.
It's just that, if you want to grow up, you have to drink rice soup one by one.
Ding Yao felt a little restless.
Ding Yao felt that his growth was too slow, and Han Yanyan swelled up as if he was blowing air, the same thing every day.
Ding Yao's eyesight grew day by day, and when the moon was full, he could fix his gaze. When he woke up this day, he felt a layer of clarity before his eyes. When Han Yanyan held him in his arms, he stared at her hard, and finally saw her face clearly for the first time.
Sure enough, as he thought, the girl who called herself "mother" was just a young girl, definitely no more than twenty years old.
Strictly speaking, it is a young and beautiful girl.
Although he has hair that grows savagely and messy like a bird's nest, it does not hinder the beautiful and seductive face that is revealed when he lifts his hair.
Unfortunately, seeing this face clearly, Ding Yao was not at all happy. He'd rather she be an ugly girl. In this obviously unstable environment, she has such a troublesome face, which is undoubtedly making the survival of the two more difficult.
Seeing this girl, he couldn't help but think of the last woman in his life, Han Yanyan. Han Yanyan was only eighteen or nineteen when he was with him at the beginning. She looked a little older than this girl, but she was not a star when she was mature. Want to come, after all, walking among the crowd, after seeing.
However, this girl lived in isolation and lived alone, and there was still a naivety in her eyes that worried Ding Yao. She has a bad face, but if her heart is still innocent and ignorant... Ding Yao's heart can't help sinking.
At this moment, he couldn't help but miss Han Yanyan. Han Yanyan has a ruthless strength. After experiencing his meticulous polishing, what a surprise.
To the deceased... don't look back, Ding Yao collected his mind and warned himself.
But this girl was really kind to him. She was never separated from him, together 24 hours a day. She boiled the thick rice soup and fed him every day to make sure he was full. She would give him a bath every few days and put some ointment on his ass to keep his little ass from festering. She would hold him in her arms, shake him gently, and comfort him gently.
Before going to bed every day, she would nibble on his fleshy little hand and whisper to him, "Mom loves Xiaoyao so much."
Ding Yaocao was speechless about her insisting on calling herself "mother", but gradually, he became accustomed to her breath unknowingly.
When Ding Yao was more than two months old, some of their living necessities were in short supply. Han Yanyan wants to take him to the market.
He knew what Han Yanyan was going to do, because the girl often "talked" to him—talking to herself was considered talking. She must have been alone for too long, and finally had an audience. Although he had not yet entered the stage of babbling, she was also happy to talk to him. Tell him what's going on at home, or what to do next.
This allows Ding Yao to have more information, which he feels very good. I don't feel like she's going crazy any more.
When the girl went out, it was almost as if she was putting on a battle uniform. She had two guns pinned to her lower back and a dagger tied to her thigh. The hair, which was originally messy like a chicken coop, was deliberately pulled even more messy, and black oil paint was used to paint totem-like lines on his face. If you don't wash her face like this, you can't see that this is a beauty that will bring disaster to the country... Embryo.
Ding Yao felt more relieved when she saw her dress up like this. Looking childish, it turned out not to be stupid.
He suddenly realized that she bathed and washed frequently, but her hair was always messy and uncombed, thinking it was intentional. And in order to go out this time, she hadn't showered for several days. She worked in the mine every day, and she could smell the sour smell when she got close.
The sour smell had been haunting Ding Yao for several days, but now that he understood that this was one of her protection measures, he felt very happy.
Not only is this girl not stupid, she is also quite smart. Her intelligence is his protection. Judging from the current situation, at least the next ten years, his safety will be tied to her. Of course, the smarter she is, the better.
The weather was getting colder, and Han Yanyan hardly ever took Ding Yao out of the mine. She just took him to Tiandong to bask in the sun every few days. Ding Yao only felt that there should be geothermal heat below the mountain range, and the deeper the mine was, the warmer it was.
This is the second time that Ding Yao has left the mine since he opened his eyes. The last time he vaguely felt a huge shadow in the sky, this time, he was taken out of the mine by Han Yanyan, and he saw the sky.
Although his eyesight was still weak, the huge object in the sky made up for his lack of depth of vision. So he could still see clearly that there were five or six huge planets in the gray sky.
It turned out to be so.
In fact, after Ding Yao opened his eyes, he saw all kinds of strange equipment in Han Yanyan's cave, and he already had a guess. Now, all he sees is confirmation of that speculation. It turned out that he was reincarnated on another planet.
Let's look at the things in Han Yanyan Cave, a pot of rice and water will become thick rice porridge in less than a minute after being irradiated with light. Obviously, the technological level of this planet is far higher than his hometown.
Therefore, Ding Yao was not surprised when he saw that Han Yanyan's "motorcycle" without tires and suspended on the ground was actually a flying shuttle.
It doesn't matter how the environment is, what matters is how he survives in such an environment.
Before going out, Han Yanyan fed Ding Yao as usual, and wrapped him in a urine pad. After all, it was more convenient to go out. As the shuttle flew over the ridge and headed for a populated place, a huge shadow drifted past in the sky.
Seeing the shadow, Ding Yao understood what Han Yanyan meant when he said "the ship is coming" two months ago. It turned out to be... the spaceship came, no wonder he couldn't hear the sound of the waves.
The shuttle carried Han Yanyan and Ding Yao against the spaceship. Ding Yao still slept on the road and woke up to the market. In fact, it is not accurate enough to say that it is a market. More accurately, it is a small town where people live together.
As soon as he entered the town, even though Ding Yao couldn't see clearly, he felt the familiar atmosphere - tense and dangerous, as if he had suddenly returned to the apocalypse. Such an atmosphere will naturally form in places where resources are tight and order is disrupted.
Han Yanyan obviously understood too. Not only did she have dark paint painted on her face, but she also wore a mask. Her hair was messy and smelly. These are all disguises for her self-preservation. Ding Yao hopes these disguises will work.
Han Yanyan has nothing to sell this time. She went directly to the shop where she bought living supplies in bulk last time.
She needs a lot of things this time. In addition to her daily needs, she asked, "Can you make warm cloth?"
The other party said: "I can't do it, there is a lack of materials."
Han Yanyan asked him what he was missing, and the man told her. Han Yanyan said, "I saw someone selling it on the side street just now."
The other party said lazily, "Then go buy it, and I'll make it for you. I don't do this anyway."
Han Yanyan had no choice but to go back and buy it by himself. There are more people on the side streets, and many people bring their own things to sell along the street. Han Yanyan didn't dare to stay any longer, so he pressed his throat to talk about the price, and dragged half a bag of materials back.
The shop owner took the materials and said to her, "Wait." He turned around and went in.
"Here is the regeneration of materials, the materials are sterilized and then recycled." Seeing Ding Yao looking at him with big black eyes, Han Yanyan lowered his voice and told him, "It's getting colder and colder, keep warm Let's make some clothes and wraps for you."
In the cave, she always explained and talked to him like this. Ding Yao was used to it, but felt that she had been alone for too long and needed someone to talk to.
Han Yanyan thought for a while and said, "It will take a long time, let's go buy food first."
She took him across three streets to another shop. Said to be "grain", but only bought a few boxes like tea boxes. Han Yanyan also opened the lid of the box, looked at it, smelled it again, and then paid the money and put the box in his backpack.
With Ding Yao, she left the food store. But just walking down a street, she suddenly hurried and turned.
Ding Yao has poor eyesight, but his hearing is very keen. When the rhythm of her footsteps changed, his originally closed eyes suddenly opened.
Han Yanyan's footsteps were hurried, and she quickly left the crowd.
After leaving the bustling area, there are still many houses. This town can see that when it was really prosperous in the past, it should be called a city, but now outside the bustling area, the houses and buildings have collapsed and fallen into ruins.
Although Han Yanyan had a Ding Yao hanging on his body and a backpack on his back, he was still light and quickly found a place to hide.
After hiding, she put her left hand into the bib, and the tip of her index finger pressed against Ding Yao's lips. Ding Yao knew that this was to prevent him from crying suddenly. He opened his mouth and held the fingertips slightly to reassure her.
At this time, he heard clear footsteps. Someone found Han Yanyan on the commercial street and followed Han Yanyan. Anyone who thinks with their feet knows that in such an environment, it is impossible to do anything good.
Ding Yao's expression froze.
This girl who looks even underage, what will she do? He really wanted to know whether this girl, whom he would rely on for at least ten years in the future, could be trusted.
At this time, Han Yanyan's right hand bent his arm and touched the lower back...
After the two rays of white light passed, the man who followed him from the street fell to the ground, and the dark red blood splattered from his body.
Han Yanyan quickly took off the backpack and pockets on the corpse. She didn't even look at it, she opened her bag directly, dumped the contents of that person's bag into her backpack, then threw the empty bag, turned around and left quickly.
If anyone sees it at this time, they will find that the baby in her arms is smiling happily.
Underestimate her, Ding Yao thought. If you think about it, she seems to have been living alone for a long time. In such an environment, she must have some ability to survive until now.
Her face was very close to him just now when she bent over to pick up the corpse's bag. Ding Yao could clearly see that the girl's face did not have the usual tenderness towards him, only the indifference towards life.
It's good, very good.
He found a reliable meal ticket.
