IPT 33.1

Chapter 33

 

Shen Qianqian chose the place to dig the hole in the backyard.

 

He was going to dig a hole under the tower of rotten tables and chairs, so he would not be caught by Wang Zhusheng and his brother, but it happened that behind the hole in the table was a section of earthen wall, which had been there for a long time. Many places on the wall had been broken, and the masonry would fall off the slag when it was touched.

 

“The bricks on that wall are so loose that they can be taken out, and half of them were taken out last time.” Tang Yuanyuan made the final decision, “Just dig there.”

 

Ten minutes later, Shen Qianqian and Lin Duozhi each held a metal spoon and scraped the edge with the spoon little by little, as well as the loose masonry.

The space in the deep part of the table hole can only accommodate one person, and other children will probe their brains outside the hole.

 

“They’re moles.”

“Shen Qianqian and Lin Duozhi are moles. They are from the other family, and while we are eating, they dig them up, hahahaha.”

“Come, let’s pretend to eat, wait for them to dig in.”

……

 

After Chu Ya saw the three military vehicles go to the welfare center, he stayed where he was, looking at the direction of the welfare center with a single movement. If he blinks once in a while, it looks like a frozen statue.

 

Time passed very slowly, and it was painful. After a long wait, smoke and dust rose again from the road, and the three military vehicles appeared.

 

But when the military vehicle passed by the town of Mixin, it stopped, and several officers looked into the barbed wire, lit fires, smoked, and stood there talking about something.

 

Their demeanor and body were very relaxed, and Chu Ya speculated that his whereabouts were not revealed. But he could only wonder what they were doing here.

 

In the next second, several black shadows appeared beside those officers, and they quickly condensed. Seven or eight beasts appeared one after another, led by a chimpanzee, and quickly climbed over the barbed wire fence towards the town.

 

Chu Ya immediately reacted, although they said that they were here, they were searching Mixin Town.

 

There was a slight stirring in the air, and several sentry spiritual powers were cutting through the air, connecting into a huge net that was spreading quickly in the town.

He also saw the beasts running quickly through the town, through the streets, into the empty buildings, and then quickly to the neighboring houses.

 

Chu Ya was still parked on the tenth-story revolving path, and when he saw that the beasts were rapidly approaching this side, he rolled his wheelchair and entered the nearest room.

 

This building used to be the town’s cultural center, with a library, an art museum, and a café lounge…… After Chu Ya entered the room, he saw that there were seats and a stage inside, which should be a small theater in the town where events or performances are held.

 

The theater was empty and dimly lit, and he slid his wheelchair into the dark depths, hiding himself behind a row of seats, and then heard the low roar of the beast downstairs, speeding up the roundabout.

 

Chu Ya held his breath, steadied his jump, and felt that the net of sentinel’s spiritual power was slowly passing through the building. And a trace of mental power also got in, a snake roamed around every row of seats.

 

Although his spiritual realm was destroyed and he released his spiritual power, he was able to perceive all the movements of other people’s spiritual power, and he felt that it was getting closer and closer to himself. The measuring beast that rushed into the building also reached the tenth floor, and as if sensing something unusual, it stopped at the side entrance.

 

Chu Ya moved in the dark, his eyes looked at the jackal standing at the entrance, but his hand touched the iron armrest of the seat next to him that was about to be disconnected. 

 

There was a deathly silence in the

the entire theater, and the jackal walked slowly towards Chu Ya. The sentinel spirit silk also leaned towards him through a few rows of seats.

 

Chu Ya secretly clenched the iron armrest, and was breaking it hard, but a small black shadow suddenly appeared under the seat, and rushed towards. The jackal chased after it, and the spirit silk immediately changed direction and chased it out.

 

Meow …… A shrill cat meow sounded behind the outer wall.

 

The cat’s meow flew away, and the amount of beasts and spirit silk did not return. Chu Ya still sat in the dark and did not move, just in case they would turn back again, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

 

There are no living creatures in the town, and this wild cat is supposed to come from the town of Keko or the mines, and usually lives in the theater, and when hungry it goes to the garbage dump to find food. Now by mistake, a danger has been eliminated.

 

Chu Ya breathed a sigh of relief, and began to worry about the traces of the tin house being found to be occupied. But fortunately the town was large, and the officers did not think that there were really people hiding in this area, so they were too careful to measure the beast after whistling around the street, and soon there was no movement.

 

Ten minutes later, the sound of the vehicle sounded, and it roared away. Chu Ya returned to the roundabout. A gust of wind blew, and his back was cold. The clothes on his back were already soaked with sweat.

 

Rumble……

There was a muffled sound in the sky. Although it was only twelve o’clock in the afternoon, it was already dark as a heavy rain was coming.

Chu Ya did not return to the tin house, still sitting in a wheelchair, quiet and durable. 

 

“This stone is a little hard, you should be a little softer.”

Shen Qianqian looked in the hole in the table, pouting his ass and burying his head, digging the wall in front of him with a spoon. He had dug a round depression in the wall, and there was an extra pile of mud and gravel beside him.

 

“Shen Qianqian, it’s time for lunch. Let’s dig again after eating.”

“Eat first.”

Tang Yuanyuan: “Then you can also go and get lunch while we help out for awhile.”

“Oh, yes.” Shen Qianqian immediately put down the spoon and stepped back: “Then I’ll take the rice and dig it again.”

 

At noon, it was bean cake and radish soup. Shen Qianqian took three bean cakes and a bowl of radish soup. There was a white radish floating in the soup. He swallowed, poured the bowl of soup and radish into the kettle, and tightly screwed the lid of the kettle.

 

He didn’t waste time, and then went to dig again, holding a small spoon in one hand and scraping the soil while holding the bean cake in the other hand and gnawing on a mouthful of dust.

 

Lin Duozhi pointed out that they also came after eating, and took turns to go in and help him dig, while the others squatted at the entrance of the cave and chatted and talked.

 

“Did you dig a big hole by now? I just cut off half of the brick.

“There’s a hole, it’s not pierced yet.”

“Let Wang Zhusheng summon his brother, and he will be stabbed in one go.”

 

Chen Hongliang exaggerated the movement of stabbing the iron rod, and the children seemed to think it was very interesting. They all laughed together and began to imitate him one by one.

 

“Poke it in pairs, stab it in pairs.”

“Stabbed Shen Qianqian in half.”

Shen Qianqian pressed his chest in a hurry: “Ah!”

“Shen Qianqian, did you dig the right one?”

“It’s coming, it’s coming.” Shen Qianqian panted out of the hole, shook off the dust from his head, took the kettle and poured it a few times, then climbed in and continued.

 

Thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and the light suddenly dimmed. There was a dim fog in the distance, and heavy rain was already falling in the area outside the top of the clouds.

 

The lights are on in the school building, and there are people going to the classrooms in the loudspeakers. The children in the backyard also went to the school building, but only Shen Qianqian was left still digging a hole.

 

“……  Must dig it out and give Shen Meow a radish to eat……   Hurry up, else Shen Meow  will starve-“

 

With the crisp sound of metal breaking, Shen Qianqian stopped talking to himself. He fell back into the hole, looked at the freshly broken spoon in his hand, and stopped panting.

 

“Yikes!” He let out a loud roar, slammed the handle of the spoon on the ground, and stomped on his foot again.

 

Shen Qianqian vent, stood in place and sulked for a while. He then went back to find tools. Fortunately, there were scrap iron tools scattered everywhere in the backyard, so he found a small iron rod and got into the hole in the table to continue digging.

 

As time passed, his palms were red, his fingertips were worn out, and he felt so much pain when he grasped the iron rod. The light in the hole of the table was dim, and his eyes were dazzling, and at last he simply closed it, and only moved mechanically according to his senses.

 

When his small iron rod stabbed through a piece of masonry, the wall was finally pierced. He hurriedly threw away the iron rod and broke the mud with his hands, and soon a hole was made.

 

The dirt fell, and a little boy with a dirty face got out from under the wall. He faced the little bulging grave, swept the dust off his mouth, put on his hat, and then went back into the hole and pulled out his satchel and water bottle.

 

The road leading to the dump is lit up with street lights, and it is now evening on the road. He walked down the road one foot deep and one foot shallow, his head becoming very anxious.
