looks not far, in fact is very far. 小镇看起来不远,实际上很远。 Another reason is, two people estimated to make a mistake their speed, alley not like high-speed, frequently needed the Lu An getting down cart, the bumpy place, by the road that the deadwood weeds sealed up, these must cost the overtime. 还有另一个原因是,两个人估算错了他们的速度,小路不像高速,经常需要陆安下来推车,还有坑坑洼洼的地方,被枯枝野草封住的路,这些都要耗费额外时间。 Therefore in being on the decline, they walked half of many. 因此在日薄西山的时候,他们才走了一半多一点。 This is a mistake, good Lu An a little prepares ahead of time, brought several clothes, now the evening temperature falls, she put on one. 这是一个失误,还好陆安有一点提前准备,多带了几件衣服,现在傍晚气温降下来,她又多穿了一件。 Proceeds again, that side is open, rests in that side.” “再往前走走,那边开阔,在那边休息吧。” Un.” “嗯。” In Apocalyptic World does not have so many means to seek the help, all can only by oneself, is unable they to give the information to Zhao Hua, two people proceeded and walked one li (0.5 km). 末世里没有那么多办法寻求帮助,一切都只能靠自己,也无法给赵华他们传递信息,两个人往前又走了一里地。 The present world had been pulled back agricultural Age, actually without many people farms again, the terraced field has left uncultivated, is the shrubberies of height. 现在的世界早已被拉回农业时代,却没有多少人再去种田,梯田早已经荒废,都是高高矮矮的灌木丛。 The

also keep off a wind to be insufficient is too cold. 野草凋敝的野外,没有丝毫人烟,在附近找到一块平整的地方,他们停下休息,裹上衣服靠在三轮车一侧,晚上还能挡点风不至于太冷。 In orange red setting sun half Hidden Hills, the sunset glow appears from the west side, plated a golden splendor to the shrubbery. 橙红色的残阳半隐山间,晚霞自西边出现,给灌木丛镀了一层金辉。 A'Xia fishes out the dried meat and rapeseed cake, matches the water to eat one after another, Lu An sits in her body side, looking into the distance, a wilderness misery. 阿夏摸出肉干和菜饼,配着水一口一口吃着,陆安坐在她身侧,放眼望去,荒野一片凄凉。 The world after Apocalyptic World, is lonely and romantic. 末世后的世界,孤独而浪漫。 If not look at these insanely long the withered and yellow weeds, looks like the Chuancang line midway very much Gobi Desert, but were many many plants insane long to cover. 如果不看那些疯长又枯黄的野草,很像川藏线中途的戈壁滩,只是多了很多植物疯长覆盖。 The high tension line of distant place lacks the maintenance, the giant steelwork lies in the place, is rusty, does not know when collapses, the sensitivity of Lu An to its also a little instinct, however thinks, this world does not have the electricity. 远处的高压线缺少维护,巨大的钢铁架横陈在地,锈迹斑斑,不知道是什么时候倒塌下来的,陆安对它还有点本能的敏感,但是想想,这个世界已经没电了。 High-pressured only remains the mere show, if there is an enough tool, they even can break up some belts to go back, make the fence and ladder. 高压架只剩空架子而已,如果有足够的工具,他们甚至可以拆散一部分带回去,做成防护栏和梯子。 At this time, Sun vanished from the horizon, surroundings dark, the world restored the chilly color, the breeze sways, the weeds rustle the thin sound, Lu An fought to try in the tricycle car(riage) the thick coat shop, A'Xia lay down to be very cramped, the leg and foot needs to curl up very tightly, helpless got down. 这时,太阳从地平线上消失,周围暗了下去,世界恢复清冷的颜色,微风拂动,野草沙沙细响,陆安把厚厚的大衣铺在三轮车斗上试了试,阿夏躺上去很局促,腿脚需要蜷得很紧,无奈又下来。 Comes back how, regardless of must look for one set of bedding to carry in that small town. 回来的时候无论如何也要在那小镇里找出来一套被褥背着。 The sky bit by bit tarnish, the boundless dim light of night raids, the open country gets windy, Lu An lifts the coat, embraces her in the bosom, backs on side tricycle, sways gently is making her go to sleep. 天空一点一点变暗,无边夜色袭来,野外起了风,陆安掀开大衣,把她揽在怀里,背靠三轮侧面,轻轻摇晃着让她入睡。 „Are you cold?” A'Xia asked him in a low voice. “你冷吗?”阿夏低声问他。 „, The clothes are so fortunately thick.” Lu An put in order the coat not to make it leak out as far as possible. “还好,衣服这么厚。”陆安整了整大衣尽量不让它漏风。 The dry lonesome open country, A'Xia by his warm bosom, gradually goes off.

effort to step on tricycle to follow on the heels. 此时霜气逐渐凝结,他们需要活动起来,三轮车重新吱扭吱扭往前行去,陆安提着柴刀在前面开路,阿夏用力踩着三轮跟在后面。 The following road is quite smooth, as the horizon shines to wipe fish-belly white, their speed sped up much , the small town has appeared in the field of vision toward noon. 后面的路比较平坦,随着天边亮起一抹鱼肚白,他们速度加快了不少,在临近中午时,小镇已出现在视野里。 That is a ruined small town, place that only then they live in now

road. 简单搜寻一下外围,不出意料,这里的空房屋都被清理过,没多少有用的东西,有人居住,他们本想就这样算了,但是回去的话还要在外面过一个夜晚,总得找一套棉被在路上用。 Lu An is guarding against the trap cautiously, place that some people live, perhaps the person does not have evil intent, but the trap cannot judge the good and evil, the itself/Ben is used for against wild animal and danger. 陆安小心翼翼地防备着陷阱,这种有人住的地方,人也许没有恶意,但是陷阱不会判断善恶,本就是用来防野兽和危险的。 Noon Sun hangs up high, the

陆安重新关上门,可以看得出来,这个人比他们要轻松很多,可能是很早就来的,在这里扛过了空间站坠落,而不像他们是外来户,坠落后迁徙到这里。 In the courtyard everywhere is the traces of person activity, in the small vegetable garden also has the cowpea that has not picked,
