Chapter 4 Midnight Ghost

From the corner of my memory, I found a water jug, poured it into a broken pot, boiled a little boiling water, and warmed my body. By the way, I baked the bread and the two of them settled the breakfast.

When sharing the food, Maria refused to ask for more bread and insisted on Zhao Lun eating it. Only after eating the food can one have the strength to work. Zhao Lun was stubborn and accepted the bread.

The road was a little muddy after the rain, and both of them had toes exposed their shoes. When they stepped down, they were covered with mud and sand. After a few steps, a lot of mud stuck to their feet.

The soil is cold and a little cold. There are many sharp things in the soil, which can easily hurt your barefoot. The two of them were wearing shoes, stopped from time to time to clean up the soil on their shoes.

The air is filled with the cold water vapor after the rain and the fishy smell of the earth mixed with the ocean. The rumbling sound of tides comes from afar, and you can see big waves constantly hitting the coastline. The waves are very big, which can sweep people into the sea. The wind is also very strong, which can blow people down, and it is also very cold, through the thin clothes, penetrate into the bones.

Maria was very weak. When the cold wind blew, her face was pale and her steps were shaking. Zhao Lun was afraid that she would catch a cold and wanted her to go back. Maria was unwilling, so Zhao Lun had to find a place to lee and let her look at a broken wooden barrel to prevent things from blowing away from leeing.

The more I walked to the beach, the stronger the wind, and Zhao Lun felt that he was about to be blown. He didn't dare to get too close, but just looked for work in some places with low wind.

The sea is falling. As long as you have a little luck, you can always find some fish, clams, shrimps and other things. In my memory, he will take the opportunity to pick up some edible things.

It was windy today and the weather was relatively cold. The clothes he wore were thin and torn, and it was not warm at all, which caused him a lot of annoyance. Unable to withstand the cold wind, Zhao Lun came to some piles of leeward rocks, searched for rocks, and searched for small crabs and other small things under the rocks.

There are many piles of rocks by the beach, and there are always some small crabs inside. As long as you dig these things open, you can harvest a lot of small crabs.

Despite Zhao Lun's opposition, Maria also came to him and searched together.

It was not until noon that he collected enough food, and Zhao Lun took Maria, who had been hungry.

The sun was moving through the clouds from time to time, and the light was light or dark. The wind was much smaller and the waves were much calmer. At this time, it was much warmer than that in the morning. When the two of them returned to the thatched hut, they sweated a lot.

They took out the basin, cleaned the food, and then steamed it directly without caring about whether it was delicious. When they were done, they didn't care whether it was hot and immediately feasted. Except for the hard shell that could not be eaten, there was only the food that could be eaten. Both of them ate it clean. In the end, their foreheads were sweating and their stomachs were round and they didn't want to move.

Zhao Lun took a short rest, then took out the things in the thatched hut to bask in the sun to prevent moisture. Maria also helped.

The firewood that could be used up was almost used up, so they collected it and dried it in the sun. Zhao Lun and Maria finally had time to take a break.

The sun was rare, so Zhao Lun took Maria to find a clean place to sit down, resting while thinking about the future.

This situation is too bad, far from the wonderful life he thought of, and many problems will cause him a headache.

They are currently having a few troubles waiting for him to solve.

As autumn begins, the temperature drops sharply. Maria is relatively thin and must have a piece of cold-proof clothing.

Now this thatched hut is barely living. If you spend a few days, such a humid and cold place will definitely freeze to death. He must solve the problem of keeping a warm house.

The poor cannot afford to get sick, nor can they get sick. The two of them are excluded and are even worse than the poor. They cannot even see the disease. The problems of clothing and housing must be solved.

Secondly, he also needs to solve the problem of food shortage. They have no bread and no one to help them. All the food is maintained by picking fish by the ocean. If they can't pick up food, they will definitely go hungry. This problem must be solved, and sufficient food must be maintained in the future.

The final problem is the trouble in trouble, how to solve the hostility and exclusion of others. As long as this problem is solved, the first two problems are no longer a problem. But this problem is really too difficult for him, and no one will care about him, a little brat with no backing.

Even if there are thousands of ways, how can we be weak?

In the afternoon, the clouds rose again, and the distance was foggy and gray. Zhao Lun, who had already rested, put away the things he wanted to dry, carried the tools, and came to the beach again, preparing to collect more food.

Maria came again. Due to the strong wind and colder seaside, she was fully armed this time. She wore a little hat, a torn gown, etc., all of them were put on. She looked like a fat bear, and she was shaking when she moved.

Maria was reluctant to dress like this, but Zhao Lun forced her to wear it.

By the sea, the wind was much lighter.

After having an experience in the morning, Zhao Lun took a lot of tools this time. The broken fishing net was barely used after he was sewn. The wire mesh found in the garbage dump was changed into a simple cage by him, and then the bait was placed. The bait was the remaining shell of the cooked crab. He didn't know if it was useful, so he put it in the cage in the water to trap the fish in the water. In addition to the tools, he also set up some dam-like things based on the terrain, using stones to intercept some fish and shrimps.

The sun comes out, hiding in the clouds again, coming out again, hiding again.

One hour, two hours, and finally, the sky became cloudy. Although it did not mean rain, the light was dimmer an hour earlier than usual.

The tide also began to rise, and many places where they had been put on their feet were flooding. Zhao Lun began to pack up his tools. After all the tools were packed, the tide had already flooded the places where they had trapped before.

This time, I was prepared and the harvest was more abundant than in the morning. Five fish that looked like sardines, one octopus, seven big crabs, and several small shrimps and fish. Zhao Lun and Maria were very happy. These things were enough for them to have a full meal. When they went back, Maria jumped around Zhao Lun, and they looked at him with admiration.

Zhao Lun was a little fluttered, and was in a better mood, and at the same time he felt a little sad, but these were not enough.

"Brother seems to have become even more powerful!"

"There are fish to eat at night!"

"Well, I want soup, um Maria can eat again-"

Thinking of the delicious food in the evening, Maria's saliva was about to flow out.

When they got home, Zhao Lun took advantage of the darkness to clean up the things, waited for a little fire and put the pot on it, it was already dark. There was no light here, and there was darkness around them, and the conditions were so simple that he complained in his heart.

The cold wind whistled, and the flames of the fire flickered. The soup in the small pot was rumbling and the fragrance continued to emerge from the pot.

Maria was roasting fire beside her and hummed her own song, "Brother makes fish, Maria wants to eat fish, brother makes crab, Maria wants to eat crab, brother makes soup, Maria wants to drink soup, wow~ Yes!" The atmosphere was very cheerful, which made Zhao Lun laugh, his heart was like fire, warm.

The heat is relatively hot and the rice is cooked quickly.

Three steamed big crabs, two grilled fish, and a small pot of small fish and shrimp soup.

The two of them had no nonsense and feasted on them. There was no seasoning and the taste was not very delicious. In the end, the two of them ate the fish and crabs, and only some residual soup was left in the small pot.

Zhao Lun threw the remaining soup into the pot, then put the washed fish bones in it, add some water and let the fine heat slowly boil it. It is estimated that it will turn into a delicious soup tomorrow, and then it will be just for breakfast.

It was a little cold here at night, and the burning fire drove away the darkness and also drove away the cold air. It blocked some wild beasts and so on.

Today was so tired. Maria became sleepy after eating, but she refused to rest and insisted on pulling Zhao Lun to rest together. The little girl had a little head and almost fell to the ground several times. Zhao Lun was also very tired, but she didn't clean up the firewood and other things around her. It was really unsafe. When she was packed, she still couldn't sleep while lying on the wooden bed.

Things were too sudden, and he was not mentally prepared. Even if he had been busy for a day, he did not let him accept reality. The only better thing was that the injury on his head was healed.

There was a fire, and the light could barely see Maria beside her. At this moment, the little girl was lying on Zhao Lun's body and sleeping soundly.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Lun was woken up and found that the fire was about to go out. The cold wind blew in. Maria was a little cold and went straight into his arms. She got up and added firewood once, and added a little water to the pot. She lay down again, but couldn't sleep.

The wind was howling outside, like the whistling of the undead. The undead can be encountered even when traveling through time, and it is not surprising to see the undead or something. Zhao Lun, who was thinking about it, felt his bones soaked. Thinking of this made him feel a bad feeling.

Zhao Lun couldn't help but look outside through the flames and the hole in the broken wooden door.

The dark night is like an endless abyss, and it is pitch black and endless. The longer you look at it, the more you feel that there is something terrible in the darkness.

After watching for a few seconds, Zhao Lun felt his hair trembled and his skin was bumpy, and he didn't dare to look at it. However, he would come to whatever he was afraid of. When he wanted to see it, he didn't see anything and was unwilling to look at it. Instead, he actually saw something.

One by one, the dark blue and fluorescent things floated outside the house.

Zhao Lun's eyes bulged out and he stared at the outside, his heart pounding, much faster than usual.

That thing, some human figures, floated in the air, its body was cold and blue, like a candlelight in the wind, it was unstable and could be extinguished at any time. It looked at the fire and thought about it, but it seemed that it could not come because of its concern, but just wandered outside.

A human-shaped ghost or a ghost? Zhao Lun didn't dare to speak out, just watched and looked at it secretly.

It approached, and Zhao Lun became clearer when he saw it. Its body was wet, and his appearance looked like a sloppy, dull and mentally ill middle-aged uncle, muttering to himself.

"Is it House!?" Zhao Lun recognized it.
