Since The Red Moon Appeared

"Hello fellow, I'm here from Qinggang. I'll stay overnight and leave tomorrow."

Looking at the people in these villages, Lu Xin explained to them friendly.

Going out, it is not surprising that many people are polite.

Although the people in this village looked a little weird, they all had their shoulders slumped, their waists crooked, one leg was propped up, one leg was dragged behind them, and their bodies were a little hunched. Even when looking at people, he tilted his head and turned his face back slightly.

But Lu Xin didn't show them strange eyes because of their appearance.

Living in the wilderness, they may just be malnourished.

When he said these words, he also smelled the smell of meat from somewhere deep in the village, so his smile became more sincere.

The difference between stewed meat and canned meat can't be more obvious.

...

Greeting Lu Xin's kind smile, all the people in this village looked at him silently.

Lu Xin still looked at them with a smile, the same smile.

On the contrary, the silent and somewhat dull people in this village gradually felt a little uncomfortable.

Many people turned their heads subconsciously.

"Just you?"

In the crowd, an old man walked out slowly. He was wearing a tattered down jacket with dark and deep wrinkles.

"Yes."

Lu Xin looked at him sincerely and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just staying overnight."

As he said that, the smell of meat wafting from not far away was becoming more and more obvious in his nose, and his stomach was obviously hungry.

He added, "It would be better if I could prepare some dinner. I will pay for it."

The old man looked Lu Xin up and down in silence, then slowly shook his head: "Then come with me."

"That promises?"

Lu Xin relaxed.

As expected of the previous exploration by the caravan and investigators, it was determined to be the gathering point with the lowest risk factor.

Similar gathering points are generally popular with caravans and wasteland reclamation teams.

Although they choose to camp and stop in the wilderness most of the time, they often exchange food and salt at the gathering points of these ordinary people. After going back and forth, they have already figured out the habits of these gathering points scattered in the wilderness. .

The military map with a huge amount of information was made by summarizing so much information.

When Lu Xin pushed his motorcycle and followed the old man forward, the people on both sides were a little slow and parted ways, but their eyes were still a little dull and slow, they kept looking at Lu Xin, eyes There is no emotion in it.

Lu Xin was a little uncomfortable when they looked at him, so he looked back at them kindly.

The other party didn't blink, and he didn't blink either.

Usually, under his efforts to express goodwill, the other party will take the initiative to avert his gaze.

...

"Just stay at Madam Meng's house, she has a spare room here."

The old man took Lu Xin to the middle of the village, pointed to a dark house on the side of the road, and said in a hoarse voice:

"The people in the village go to bed early. If the guests have nothing to do, they should rest early and don't come out casually..."

"OK."

Lu Xin agreed very readily, and said again: "The thing about dinner..."

But before he could finish speaking, the old man waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Go back!"

The people around Lu Xin, those who looked at him from a distance, or those who hid behind the dark window to peek at him, suddenly dispersed after listening to the old man's words.

Some people got into the next room, some people slammed down the window, some people squatted in the shadow beside the road, stared at Lu Xin for a while, with a dull and weird smile on their faces, and then backed away, Climb slowly into the alley.

...he was literally on all fours and crawled into the alley.

...

"He may have been injured before, and there are no good medical conditions in the village..."

Lu Xin sighed regretfully for him, pushed the car to the designated house, and locked the car carefully.

"Squeak..."

He pushed open the hidden door, and what came to him was the black man who could not see his fingers.

There was a musty smell in the room, a kind of smell mixed with old furniture, moisture, old clothes, fishy smell and so on.

Lu Xin stood quietly at the door for a while, and then looked left and right after his eyes got used to the darkness in the room.

With the dim light from outside, he saw that there seemed to be a large Kang near the window.

The black stuff piled up on the kang is the main source of the musty smell in the house.

Leaning against the head of the bed, there seemed to be an old lady sitting there. She kept looking at herself silently, her eyes in the dark looking gloomy.

If it wasn't for seeing her, Lu Xin would not have known that such a person was looking at him.

What's even more strange is that Lu Xin felt that the old lady was not the only one looking at him in this room.

"Hello ma'am..."

Lu Xin was silent for a while, and his voice became more enthusiastic: "Is there a lamp in the room?"

The old man at the bedside looked at Lu Xin silently, without saying a word.

Lu Xin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, fortunately I have it."

Saying that, he closed the door with his backhand, then crouched on the ground, took out a long black tube of ten centimeters from the bag, and gently twisted a ring on it, and suddenly a dazzling light radiated from the head end. It came out and showed a bright spot in the house.

"Whoa..."

Lu Xin heard the sound of something running in panic in the room.

"Don't be afraid, I'll just adjust it."

Lu Xin explained with a smile, then turned a ring under the ring.

The bright and dazzling light began to slowly soften, and finally turned into a warm pale yellow.

Then Lu Xin slowly pulled down a button on the long tube, and the lights began to not gather in one place, but spread out evenly. After placing the hand level on the ground, it looks like a desk lamp without a lampshade.

This is one of the materials Han Bing prepared for himself, a multifunctional flashlight developed by the Ministry of Special Clearing.

There is a battery and a solar charging ring, and when fully charged, it can maintain high-intensity power for more than three hours.

There is a card slot on the head. After pushing it up, the light is refracted and condensed, and it becomes a flashlight.

Put it down, the light is scattered, and it becomes a table lamp.

...

The room was filled with soft light, and it immediately illuminated the layout clearly.

Lu Xin saw that the window on the right side of the entrance was indeed a large kang.

On the kang was piled some quilts that were originally black or changed from other colors to black, thick and damp.

An old lady with disheveled hair and a heavy padded jacket leaned against the window and looked at herself indifferently.

Looking at her, Lu Xin couldn't help being a little surprised.

Only then did I know where the other look at me that I felt just now came from.

In the old lady's arms, there was actually a small child in her arms.

The child couldn't tell how big it was, and shrank in the arms of the old lady.

Judging only from his exposed head, his face was obviously deformed.

The cheeks and forehead on the left side were bulging out unlike ordinary people. The eyes seemed to shrink into a pinhole-like dot because they were not suitable for the light. The eyes were condensed very strangely. And uneven teeth.

He also had one hand exposed outside the quilt, curled up unnaturally, like a spasm.

Lu Xin thought back and felt that he was a bit like the Down syndrome he had read in the library.

At the beginning, in order to find out if I was split, I once made up for a piece of knowledge about mental illness and strange diseases.

...

Under the gazes of the old lady and the strange child, Lu Xin smiled kindly to them.

Meeting Lu Xin's smiling face, the old lady turned her head and closed her eyes, while the strange child was still staring straight at him.

Lu Xin pulled a small ponytail from under the table, sat down, and asked, "Is there anything to eat at home?"

The old lady was silent, as if she couldn't hear him at all.

The weird kid was still staring straight at him.

Lu Xin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, fortunately I have it."

After saying that, he came outside the door and took out a large bag of instant noodles from the box, and the leftover canned beef in the middle.

The can has been opened and the smell inside is wafting out.

On that bed, the strange child huddled in the old lady's arms twitched his nose, and suddenly jumped off the bed with a "whoosh" sound.

His speed was surprisingly fast. Lu Xin was sitting on a pony that was at least two meters but less than three meters away from the bed, and there were movements such as lifting the quilt and getting out of bed. But he came to Lu Xin in an instant and snatched the can.

"Shh!"

Lu Xin stretched out his hand and caught it in the air.

When he stretched out his hand, the strange child had already run back to the bed with the can.

"nothing."

Lu Xin's hand was still in the air, his palm was empty, as if he was holding something, and he shook his head slightly as he spoke.

He was talking to his sister.

Seeing that the strange child was actually robbing her, her sister was about to rush up, but fortunately she was held back by Lu Xin.

...

There was a screeching sound from the bed.

Lu Xin sat on the Maza and watched. When he saw the strange child, he directly pulled the tin sheet that had only been torn in half of the can to one side, and then reached out and ate the beef inside. The juice flowed from under his everted lips. Come out and wet his chin.

He devoured most of the half box of canned food, which was not much, and stopped when there was only a small mouthful left.

He grabbed the last small piece and handed it to the old lady's mouth.

Lu Xin then retracted his gaze, smiled gently, and said, "It doesn't matter, I still have some, and this canned beef is a bit salty. It's delicious only if it is cooked with instant noodles. I brought the noodles with instant noodles. There are several packs, and there are five yuan in one pack."

As he said that, he looked to the side and said, "Is there any water?"

This time, the old lady was no longer silent. She chewed the beef in her mouth and looked at Lu Xin dumbly.

As if moved by the warm smile on Lu Xin's face, she slowly raised her hand and pointed to the back of the door.

Lu Xin was happy: "That's great."
