Chapter 658: The face of life

Cheng Hao and Ban Nu were walking excitedly on the small road back to the village. They were about to go to Cheng Hao's house.
In other words, to go to the place called home. After all, the place where Cheng Hao lives is really simple and cannot be called home.
The so-called home of Cheng Hao is actually the ruins of a family that has disappeared.
That family belonged to the family who starved to death in the year of worshipping the gods and the year of famine. Such families are actually not uncommon, or it can be said that similar family relics can be seen everywhere in the village.
Dilapidated and collapsed houses.
The reason for the collapse is that there is no one in the house and no one to maintain, and the other is that other families in the village will take a lot of materials from the houses left by such extinct families.
For example, intact girders, hard-to-find timber or even intact rammed earth walls will be the target of demolition.
No one will care about it. After all, the family is gone, and the house or something should be left for everyone to use.
As for Cheng Hao's original home, since several elder brothers and sisters were taken away and swallowed by the big demon, it was left unattended and demolished by people, and only one foundation and one piece of rubble were left.
There is no way to live.
The place where Cheng Hao lives now is a yard whose house has barely collapsed even though it is extinct.
Most of the buildings in this small courtyard have collapsed, but the main house is only half down, and the other half can barely squeeze in with the cat waist, so that it can live to avoid the cold, rain and snow.
Although dangerous, it is always better than freezing to death in rain and snow.
As for why they don’t live in a neighbor’s house, there is no way. The villagers in Xixiang Village have the habit of going out hunting, and they often get bitten and injured by the wild animals outside and get some diseases.
No one can guarantee that you are healthy, so I will give you something to eat for the rich. You can save you from starving to death. If you want to live at home, so don’t talk about it.
Therefore, Cheng Hao can only live in this half-collapsed house. At first, he lived here alone. In the past year, Ban slaves who lost their livelihood due to tooth damage also began to move here to live with Cheng Hao. .
There was hardly any furniture in the semi-collapsed house, just a cold stone pot polished by Cheng Hao himself.
In fact, the manufacture of stone pots and other stone tools is a test of technical skills. Cheng Hao had no one to teach since he was a child, so naturally he didn't have such a good craftsmanship, so he could only make it casually and barely use it.
"Come on, I'll make a fire!" Banu was so excited when he knew he was eating, he stretched out his hand and took out the flint from his waist pocket.
"Don't!" Cheng Hao stopped him: "You can't start a fire in the village, otherwise you will have to be seen by Zhao Fuhu and others. If they really rush in, then the pancakes that the master gave us will enter the stomachs of others! "
Ban Sl was taken aback, and Cheng Hao was right! Then he asked: "What should I do?"
"What to do? Naturally the old way, go! Let's go to the same place!"
"Good!" Ban Nu smiled upon hearing this, and followed Cheng Hao to lift the stone pot and walked out of the village.
Along the way, the two of them chose to walk on some unmanned roads. Most of the people in this club were also playing the dealer in the field, but it was really not discovered.
Soon, the two of them arrived at a small stream outside the village. They found a raised boulder that was not very close to the stream. The stone pot was supported with wood on it, and then some water came. Cooking.
It's also very simple to do, that is, boil the water, chop the black flour pancakes with a rough and sharp stone axe, and then throw them into the water to cook. When the cooking is soft, it can be eaten.
Such a rough meal with little salt is difficult for ordinary villagers in Xixiang Village to eat every day. Most of the ideas they cultivated for a year are handed over to the gods, and the food they can leave is really It is difficult to feed a family.
Therefore, it is normal for ordinary people to have one meal every two days. Only wealthy people like Zhao Fuhu can guarantee one meal a day, which is what Cheng Hao and others eat.
This place is the place that Cheng Hao and Ban Nu love to visit after going out hunting and harvesting.
The choice of this place is very particular, close to the stream, easy to fetch water, and at the same time not too dangerous.
Yes, it is dangerous. Generally, wild areas like this are easy to encounter ferocious beasts, especially any beasts on the edge of the stream.
After all, water, all animals are needed.
And the huge rock that Cheng Hao and Ban Nu often stayed at was a strange rock half protruding from the ground. Although there were no mountains around, it was a small hilly terrain that shouldn’t have such a huge rock, but it was indeed Exist, very abruptly protruding from the ground and stretching out to the side.
Even human races with flexible hands and feet cannot climb a huge stone like this, and fierce beasts are naturally even worse.
Those who can get on the rocks are all insect-like animals, so Cheng Hao and Ban Nu don't have to worry.
The water was tumbling in the stone pot, tumbling with the fragments of the black dough, and seeing Cheng Hao and Bannu drooling, it was delicious!
This is a good thing that a daughter does not change!
Moreover, Cheng Hao felt that even any delicacies of mountains and seas he would eat in the future were not as sweet and attractive as the pot of life-saving porridge in front of him.
and many more! Treasures of mountains and seas? after?
Cheng Hao scratched his head, wondering why he suddenly had such a ridiculous idea, why would he think of the future for granted? And why do you take it for granted that you will be better than now?
Weird...
"Hey, why are you stunned? If you don't eat it, it will soak up! Eat quickly!"
Ban Nu's urging sound brought Cheng Hao back to reality. He nodded slightly, picked up his chopsticks made of tree branches, and took the hot noodles in the stone pot like Ban Nu.
The two teenagers sighed while being scalded while eating, but no one stopped.
What is the inconspicuous patch in their hands? life! Yes, this thing is life! Yes, you live, if you don’t, then you can only be starved to death!
After eating up the noodles in the stone pot, the two teenagers drank the noodle soup one bite at a time, and then they slapped their belly contentedly and leaned against the boulder.
Cheng Hao groaned comfortably, "Bannu, how do you spend this winter? Do you have any ideas?"
Banu thought about it: "What else can I do? Just like in previous years, I went to the barn of someone's house and squeezed with the animals. The smell is a bit smelly, but it is better than freezing to death.
"Are you stupid? Where are the animals now?"
