"Xiaobai, go."

Jingyuan threw an orange-red Frisbee, which landed on the balcony.

"Woof!"

Xiaobai yelled, jumped off the sofa with three legs, ran back with the Frisbee in his mouth, and handed it to his palm.

It squatted on the ground, stuck out its tongue to breathe, leaned on the sofa, and rubbed the back of its head with its only remaining hind leg.

Jingyuan looked at its dirty long hair and really wanted to give it a bath, but there was no extra water, so he had no choice but to give it up.

After playing Frisbee with Xiaobai, the sky turned completely dark and the candle was half burned. In order to save money, Jingyuan used a knife to scrape off the wax residue on the table and threw it into the groove where the candle wick was melted.

It wasn't an illusion. After dark, he clearly felt mentally exhausted. He still didn't feel anything physically, but he felt that it was almost time for him to sleep.

He held a candle in one hand and opened the bedroom door with the other.

The bedroom was barely tidy, but only barely. The bed sheets were covered with a layer of moderate dust, and the iron window frames had been soaked in rain for a long time and had grown dark red rust. They creaked when the wind blew.

The sound.

The wind was very strong tonight, and some kind of special circuit seemed to be formed between the gaps in the residential buildings. The wind blew out the sound of howling ghosts and wolves, coupled with the sound of rustling leaves rubbing against each other, it was really a bit scary.

Jingyuan tried to close the window. The bedroom window was an old-fashioned outward-opening window. To close the window, he had to pull it all the way back, unscrew the rotating handle, and lock it. However, the handle was extremely rusty, and it was so hard for Jingyuan to close the window.

Torn off.

The window cannot be closed, and when the wind blows, it knocks in, "bang bang bang", as if someone is knocking hard on the door.

The flame of the candle was also blown out by the wind, flickering dimly and brightly.

Jingyuan estimated that he would not be able to sleep well all night in this bedroom, so he might as well sleep in the living room.

He pushed open the wardrobe in the bedroom, found a spare cotton quilt, carried it to the sofa and spread it out.

He was too lazy to put on a quilt or anything else. He felt that he didn't even need to cover himself with a quilt. After all, he was [zombified] and couldn't feel the cold.

The main reason why I wanted to find a quilt was because I was scared.

Quilts are a great tool for exorcising ghosts. Whenever Jingyuan's back feels cold, he just needs to shrink his head into the quilt, wrap his feet like this, and lie down like a barbecued pork roll tied with cotton rope, and he will feel it from the bottom of his heart.

Feel a sense of security everywhere.

Of course, he was not in a hurry to lie down. He found clean clothes in the closet in the bedroom. The clothes on his body smelled like a mixture of blood and sweat. He couldn't stand it for a long time. He took them off and threw them into the toilet.

Put on the gray sweatshirt and black trousers.

In fact, I really wanted to take a shower to wash away the smell of sweat and unclean things, but there was still the same problem - there was no water.

Today he and Xiaobai consumed a bottle of purified water, and there were only four bottles left in the bag. 500ml times 4 equals 2000ml. This small amount of water is not enough for him to wash his hair, and it is impossible for him to wash his hair with precious drinking water.

At this time, you will inevitably miss the convenience of tap water and water heaters. Just pull the shower faucet in the bathroom and wait for tens of seconds, and a steady stream of hot water will come out. It is really refreshing.

Unfortunately, those are all conveniences enjoyed by urban networks that rely on modern society. Taking a shower, which modern people are accustomed to, involves the cooperation of gas companies, water heater companies, water companies, etc. If the AA batteries used to ignite the water heater are included

On top of that, we need to add a battery company.

The hot water that comes out when you pull it gently may have seemed to ancient people to be as magical as magic.

And in this world where order is broken, even if he finds water, if he wants to take a bath, he has to set up a stove first and poke the charcoal with a fire stick to boil water. In order to save money, he may not be able to take a bath, so he can only heat the water.

The water is put in a wooden bucket and washed with a ladle.

Well, it’s not like I’ve never experienced such a life. Wasn’t this how I bathed when I was a child living in the countryside?

I remember that at that time, I had to put a towel on my shoulders to avoid getting cold due to the cold water. The towel would absorb the hot water and keep me warm for a long time.

Returning to the living room, Jingyuan closed the floor-to-ceiling window next to the balcony and closed all the doors at the same time.

He came to the door to go out and checked whether the lock cylinder was intact. He lay down through the peephole and looked into the corridor. It was pitch dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.

To be on the safe side, he lifted a bedside table and pressed it against the door. At the same time, he placed the kitchen knife on the edge of the bedside table. If something wanted to break in, the bedside table could block it slightly. Once there was a vibration, the kitchen knife on the edge of falling would

It will fall and make a loud sound, which is enough for Jingyuan to react.

Before going to bed, he used the last candlelight to oil and load his pistol and rifle, and placed the two weapons within easy reach of his pillow.

Xiaobai had already rolled up into a cake and slept at his feet. He was probably very tired. I don’t know what the macho big brother had gone through with him. It must not have been a good memory.

Jingyuan touched its head and said softly: "Good night."

He took off his shoes and lay on the sofa. The quilt fit him well, covering his body and wrapping him up in a ball.

There was still light in the room, and the candle was burning quietly. Even if he repeatedly removed the solidified wax oil and threw it into the candle wick, there was only the last small piece of candle left on the table. It would probably burn out in a few more minutes.

All.

Jingyuan stared at the weak candlelight without saying a word.

Xiaobai's gentle breathing came from the sofa, and Jingyuan didn't close his eyes until the fire went out.

He lay on his back, looking at the unfamiliar ceiling. Fatigue suddenly came over him like a tide, drowning him.

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through my mind.

There is no YY or fear of the future, just some very simple thoughts.

I want to take a bath, I want clean and well-fitting clothes, I want to use electric lights, I want to sleep on a softer and more comfortable bed, I want to live in a room where I can sleep peacefully.

With this thought in mind, he fell asleep.

He was wrapped in the cotton quilt without a quilt cover, lying on the dirty sofa, and fell asleep with blood all over his body.

His lips were still chapped, his face was greasy, and the closed room was full of musty smell and blocked air.

At the last second of his consciousness, Jingyuan thought that if he traveled back in time like this, he would definitely be regarded as a beggar. Maybe he would meet a kind-hearted person to give some money. Then, he would definitely buy another fried dish.

Chicken, enjoy it first before talking about anything else.

His whole body was warm, and Jingyuan felt like a baby soaked in amniotic fluid, comfortable, warm, and at ease, and all those bad emotions disappeared without a trace.

"Woof!"

The sound of a dog barking brought him back to reality.

He woke up suddenly, and the strong sunlight made him almost unable to open his eyes, which were reduced to slits.

Xiaobai pulled his trouser legs and pulled him back.

When Jingyuan saw the scenery in front of him clearly, he suddenly felt dizzy.

At some point, he stood on the edge of the balcony, and the sunlight gilded half of his body in gold. He was about to fall, hitting the ground on his head and causing his head to explode.
