    The cold wind poured into the relatively warm building, immediately attracting everyone's attention and dissatisfaction.

    In order not to arouse the resentment of others, Li Qingshui turned around and closed the rolling shutter.

    "Where are these people from?" The people at the door saw Liu Chang and Li Qingshui They were neatly dressed but surprisingly thin. Even in the temperature of dozens of degrees below zero, a large amount of skin including their necks was exposed.  , which is a bit puzzling.

    "Which district are you from? Why haven't I seen you? What are you doing in our Thirteenth District?" The person who came to ask Li Qingshui was a middle-aged man wearing a thick hat. The man had a beard that was about more than a year old.  They had not been taken care of, and were just tangled together on a red face, so dark that it was difficult to see the face clearly.

    "We are passers-by and want to inquire about the situation here." As he spoke, Li Qingshui took out some exquisite food that these people had not seen for several years from the leather bag on his waist and handed it to the man who was watching.  He looked like the red-faced bearded man in charge here, "We understand the rules, these are our inquiry fees!"

    "That's it The man took the food handed over by Li Qingshui with some suspicion. Just when he was about to say a few harsh words to see if he could blackmail him into getting something more, he was snatched away by Li Qingshui's left hand who didn't want to waste time.  He picked up a metal flask from his body.

    "Of course, we are polite, and we hope you can communicate more easily." As he spoke, Li Qingshui twisted the man's metal wine bottle into a flower, and Si Shi blocked his mouth. Snap!

    After throwing the metal wine bottle on the ground, Li Qingshui and Liu Chang entered the area on the first floor of the Internet cafe one after another.

    The so-called Internet cafes in the past have long ceased to look like "Internet cafes". Except for some traces of computers that can be seen in the corners of the house, there are no traces of them anywhere else.  The room has been evacuated. In an area of ??about 300 square meters, only simple pavilions and various iron pipes and barrels burning with flames can be seen. The fuel is usually firewood. In the corner of the house, Liu Chang saw a large number of piles of iron pipes and iron barrels.  Firewood together.

    There is no trace of willow fruit in the house.

    With everyone¡¯s attention, the two slowly scanned the room, and then Li Qingshui squatted in front of a three-year-old child.

    "Kid, let me ask you something?" A jelly bean-like ball appeared from the palm of his hand like magic. Liu Chang recognized it as a synthetic carbohydrate that he had eaten on the road. It had an average taste and was able to  Replenish energy, the advantage is that it can be stored for a long time.

    "Hmm" The child looked at the "jelly beans" on Li Qingshui's hand and was a little afraid to take them. Finally, he looked at his mother questioningly.

    "Take it, let's have a good conversation with uncle." The mother glanced at Li Qingshui. She saw him twisting an iron jug into a flower just now, so she didn't dare to refuse this man's proposal at this moment.  .

    "Oh." The child took the thing from Li Qingshui's hand, and then looked at the expressionless "uncle" with blank eyes, wondering what to say.

    "Let me ask you a few questions." Li Qingshui squatted in front of the child. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Do you know about red fruits in the outside world?"

    "Yeah." He is over three years old, which is equivalent to the age of kindergarten. He already has a vague understanding of the world, but he cannot get a full picture of the world.

    "Have you people here ever eaten red fruits?" Li Qingshui asked.

    "I don't know." The child shook his head - and Liu Chang also frowned.

    He didn¡¯t know why Li Qingshui asked a child such a question, because if he wanted to ask, it would be better to ask the adults here, and this kind of thing can be seen without asking.

    "Yeah." Li Qingshui nodded after listening to the child's words, "Were you afraid when the woods outside changed a few days ago?"

    "Yeah, I'm afraid." The child nodded.

    "Why are you afraid?"

    "Because mom is afraid, mom has been crying." When the child spoke, he glanced at his mother again.

    "Oh." Li Qingshui also glanced at the child's mother, "What was going on here at that time."

    "Everyone was scared. Some people ran away, and some people didn't want to run because they didn't know where to go. Because for those of us, if we lose our house and can't run hundreds of miles away, we have to freeze to death on the road.  ." The woman recalled the situation that day, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily. "When the big tree came that day, I was in the house. I didn't know the situation outside, but later I heard that it was overwhelming like a wave of wicker trees that flooded the house from a distance.  I came over. I was in the house and didn't feel anything. I just felt the ground shaking all the time. The six women were talking and the child in her arms glanced at her again.

    "Then why don't you eat?"The fruit above.  "Li Qingshui asked again.

    "I don't dare. Although I heard that some people have eaten it and it is not poisonous, I just don't dare the woman said truthfully.

    "Yeah." Li Qingshui nodded, stood up, "Let's go."

    "Okay." Just like that, Liu Chang and Li Qingshui once again opened the rolling shutter and walked out in front of everyone's eyes.

    "It seems that Liushu's visit this time is indeed much more thoughtful than the last time he rushed to Zhengzhou." Walking outside the cold and windy door, Li Qingshui sighed, "It's just that the adults don't eat the fruit.  Because of fear, children do not have the most intuitive fear of willow trees. Their fear is indirectly passed on by adults.  Therefore, if true hunger comes, everyone will choose willow fruit, and true hunger, in my opinion, is already coming.  "

    "Yeah." Liu Chang nodded and looked at the desolate land around him.

    "The willow trees have not invaded the city, but they have sucked out all the nutrients suitable for plant growth in the soil around and inside human cities." Starting a few days ago, it was no longer possible for humans to grow food, and almost all species in the jungle  And everything is under the control of the willow tree. Under this kind of control, it is almost impossible for humans to hunt for food. Therefore, there seems to be only one way out As Li Qingshui spoke, he was deeply attracted.  He said, "Willow is more powerful than I thought. He has only one purpose in doing this."

    "He wants to talk to us." Liu Chang also took a deep breath, "It's pretty awesome. It kept humans in captivity and left the fruits, but took away all other possibilities of survival. It didn't make things perfect.  , but this feeling of having nowhere to vent your anger is more terrifying than directly declaring war on humans. It seems that he has set a time limit for us. Human beings lack food sources and cannot endure it longer." (To be continued)
