There were not many words on the way back, and the pace was much faster, so humans had to run a few steps from time to time to keep up.

On the way, we passed by a house that had been blown away without leaving a trace by the wind. There were still people standing around. In the center of the crowd, there were a few people wearing clothes similar to city gate guards. They lowered their heads and bent their waists, as if they were looking for something. I didn’t

Stopped and walked quickly over.

When we returned to that familiar corner, the sky was getting dark, and my mother did not stop, collecting firewood, lighting a fire, and grilling meat, everything was done with ease.

After putting the meat on the fire, she suddenly stood up and walked towards the city gate. I trembled in my heart, fearing that she would not be seen again for more than half a month, so I hurriedly shouted and followed her, saying: "Where are you going?"

She stopped, came back, took me to the fire, and said, "I'll go to the city gate to see if the man is there. I'll be back soon. Watch the meat carefully and don't burn it."

The city gate is not far from here. If the sky is brighter, you can see it directly. She thought she went there because of the identity tag. I am too sensitive.

I kept yelling to leave earlier, but I didn't know that what I did was invisibly dragging my mother down.

"Oh, okay, go ahead and come back as soon as you're done. If you're late, the meat will be gone."

Watching the figure disappear in the darkness, I stayed there for a long time until the human woke me up from my meditation.

"It's going to be burnt..."

"It's burnt? Turn it around quickly!"

I stood quietly by the fire. He was originally with me, but then he seemed to suddenly think of something, got up in a hurry, ran to the other side of the street, and then got into an alley and disappeared.

I stared at the flames that roared from time to time. I don’t know why I had mixed feelings. You have tried your best to burn yourself in the darkness and illuminated some places. But facing a huge city, this land of many feet, there are so many places.

What's the use? With the houses full of people sitting and sleeping, the dim light coming through the windows, and the figures standing by the windows for a long time, are they also looking forward to something?

"Gululu..."

My stomach made a long growl, and I put my heart back. I took a piece of meat and brought it closer to smell it. I couldn't help but frown. At this time, my mother walked out of the darkness.

I quickly put the meat back, and even though she was already close, I still got up and ran up to greet her.

"Why so fast?"

"The human being is not here. He said he went to do something. He didn't know when he would come back, so he came back first."

I yelled, sat down next to the fire with my mother, added a piece of wood, and then continued to turn the meat.

The mother looked around and asked, "Where is that boy?"

"He ran over there. I don't know what he was doing." I pointed in the direction where the human disappeared.

My mother nodded and didn't ask any questions. Most of my attention was actually on the meat. The meat the guard gave me was relatively small and wouldn't last long in the fire. I felt it was almost ready, so I took a piece and handed it to my mother.

, said: "Don't wait for him, you eat first, this meat was originally reserved for you."

My mother took it, but she didn't take it. She looked troubled, and after a while she said, "I'm not hungry."

"How could you not be hungry? You've been away for so long and haven't eaten anything. I even ate once in the middle of the trip, and now my stomach is growling."

After hearing what I said, my mother handed the meat to me and said with a smile: "How do you know I haven't eaten anything? I caught a lot of prey outside and couldn't even finish it. I threw a lot of it away.

Eat."

I took the meat, swallowed, hesitated for a while, then took a small bite, and then asked, "Where have you been these days?"

Mother pointed in the direction opposite to the city gate and said, "Didn't you see it when you met me yesterday? I came from that way, so naturally it was in that direction."

Of course I know. The reason why I asked this question was just to know if she was lying to me. Now I have the answer.

I put the meat on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. I looked up into her eyes and said, "The beasts in Shanhai City are all under human control. Where are you going to catch the beasts? You want to lie to me again. You can eat it, mother."

I just took it a while ago and it still lasts for a long time.”

"But I'm really full. I don't feel anything in my stomach now. If you don't believe it, look at it." As she said that, she lifted up her clothes to expose her belly. She then grabbed my wrist and put my hand on her belly, and continued.

He said: "Look, is it swollen?"

It was really like this. I stopped my hand and felt a little angry for a moment. I picked up the piece of meat on the ground again and ate it in big mouthfuls. I swallowed it in a few times. Then I took a larger piece and chewed most of it before I made any sound.

: "Do you know how much hardship I endured for this meat, and how long I endured it? You are living a comfortable life outside. I don't expect you to take me with you before disappearing, but at least don't forget that I am in a smelly place.

Human territory awaits you.”

The expression on the mother's face still didn't change much, "Then I'll bring back the remaining meat next time?"

She looked confused and actually asked such a question in turn. I instantly became furious and threw the uneaten food into the fire. After a while, I calmed down as much as possible and said, "Who is surprised about your meat?"

!Didn’t you realize that these meats have already stunk? When I smelled the stink just now, I felt very uncomfortable, because this is prepared for you, and I’m afraid that you won’t be able to eat the best. If I eat it myself,

Don't say it stinks, even if it's completely rotten, I won't have any hesitation and I won't show any performance at all."

I continued: "Every time you leave, I am afraid, afraid that I will not see you, afraid that you will never come back. I have to pray to that bastard God countless times, thinking that if there is really any danger, I will
