Above the gray fog

The next day at noon.

Lin Shan was awakened by the aroma coming from outside the door.

"I'll take this. If you come back late, don't wait for me. Eat first. Send this to Lin Shan when he wakes up." In the hall outside the door, a family of four was sitting at the table eating. The middle-aged man named Anderlie packed two boxes for each.

"Okay, Dad."

"Why don't you just take the leftovers over? Is there any need to pack them?" The woman said with a little resentment.

"What are you talking about? How can you let the guests eat leftovers?" Anderlie raised his voice slightly.

"We saved him, so we are his benefactors. What's wrong with leftovers?" The woman retorted.

"Don't quarrel." The girl An Qi suddenly stood up and picked up the takeaway box. "I'll take it to him."

After that, she walked towards the room where Lin Shan was holding the takeaway box.

After being disturbed by the girl, the two of them ate their own meals and stopped arguing.

An Qi gently opened Lin Shan's door with the takeaway box, but saw that Lin Shan had woken up and was looking out the window in a daze.

The girl seemed to have thought of something, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my mother is like this. She is actually a very good person, but she is a little bit..."

"I can understand." Lin Shan nodded.

"You haven't eaten for two days, you must be very hungry, come and try my mother's cooking." An Qi put the takeaway box on the bedside table, opened the lid, and a fragrant aroma overflowed.

In this world, he is just an ordinary person, and he is already hungry at this moment.

When he woke up today, his body recovered a little, unlike the previous two times when he was weak all over. Lin Shan easily picked up the white wood box next to him. There were no chopsticks or spoons in it.

Two palm-sized cakes were the staple food, and one meat and one vegetable were placed next to them. They were made very roughly but were full of fragrance.

I don't know what kind of animal the meat of the meat dish is, and the vegetable dish seems to be some kind of wild vegetable.

Lin Shan picked up the cake and took a bite. It tasted surprisingly good. It might be because he was too hungry. Any food is a delicacy for him now.

"Why don't you eat vegetables?" An Qi looked at Lin Shan in confusion.

"Do you have chopsticks?"

"Chopsticks? What are those?"

"A tool for picking up food..."

"Do you need a tool to pick up food? Can't you just pick it up with your hands?" An Qi wondered.

"Is that so..."

Lin Shan grabbed all the food with his hands and put it between the two pancakes, then took a big bite like eating a hamburger.

An Qi took out a piece of cloth from his pocket and handed it to Lin Shan, "Remember to wipe your hands after eating, I'm going to eat too."

"Thank you."

Lin Shan watched An Qi leave and quickly finished the pancake in his hand.

As the food went into his stomach, Lin Shan could clearly feel that this body was recovering.

An Qi came in again halfway and took away the takeaway box. Since then, this house has become unusually quiet.

Lin Shan leaned on the bed and took a nap.

As the food was digested, the strength of this body was increasing little by little, and now he should be able to get out of bed and walk.

After an unknown amount of time, the sky slowly darkened.

"An Qi."

"An Qi."

"An Qi!"

The woman's voice echoed in the house, but there was no response.

It was not until late that Lin Shan heard the woman's voice again.

"Angie, where did you go this afternoon?"

"I didn't go anywhere. I just walked around near my home." An Qi replied unnaturally.

"I've told you many times that it's dangerous outside!" the woman said sternly.

"I know, I know, it's very dangerous outside. There are giants outside. If the giants see us, they will catch us and put us in cages." An Qi nodded repeatedly, repeating what her mother had said to her countless times before.

"It's good that you know. Let's eat first. Your father may not be back until midnight." Seeing An Qi like this, the woman thought that it might be the rebellious period, and didn't say anything more. She had experienced it before.

"Mom."

"What's wrong?"

"Are there any good giants in the world?"

The woman frowned and looked at An Qi with an unusually serious expression:

"Don't try to guess what the giants are thinking. Many giants have shown kindness to us. In fact, the kindness they give is also a kind of persecution to us."

"Do you think that they build cities for us to live in, feed us every day, and make us worry-free? Is this a kind of kindness?"

"No." An Qi shook her head in fear, and then changed the subject, "Dad is always so late."

"There is no way. For the little people, the night is the safest. It is easy to expose us during the day." The woman sighed.

"Mom, what is this?"

"The guest's meal, you will send it to him later."

"Okay."

Lin Shan listened quietly. There was no sound insulation between the hall and this room.

He agreed with what An Qi's mother said, 'For the little people, the night is the safest'.

This is also the reason why he lay down for half a day during the day.

Now that he has some strength in his body, he plans to go out and explore the way at night, if the enemy of this world is a giant.

With his small body, he can easily avoid danger at night.

He can't complete the ritual if he stays in this small room all the time, he must explore the world.

"Creaky~" the door of the room was pushed open.

An Qi came to Lin Shan's room with a lunch box.

"Are you feeling better?" An Qi looked at Lin Shan and found that Lin Shan was still looking out the window.

"Much better, you look very happy, is there anything happy?" Lin Shan looked at An Qi beside him.

"Is there?" An Qi's eyes curved slightly and smiled, "Maybe I am indeed happier today."

"Why are you happy?" Lin Shan asked.

An Qi put the lunch box on the table, "You are still young, you won't understand if I tell you now."

Looking at the closed door, Lin Shan was thoughtful.

He quickly ate the dinner in the lunch box. During this time, An Qi took the lunch box away and poured a glass of water for Lin Shan and put it on the cabinet.

The bright white moon was hanging high in the sky.

Lin Shan was dazed when he heard the gate of the yard being opened.

In an instant, he was no longer sleepy.

This is Anderlie coming back.

After an unknown period of time, the sound in the yard stopped, and footsteps crept into the house.

Lin Shan lifted the quilt and put on the straw sandals prepared by An Qi for him.

Instead of opening the door, he went out through the window.

This window is on the side. He had already observed that it leads directly to the outside. Going out from here will not lead to the yard in front.

"Click!"

Lin Shan jumped down from the window, and a branch under his feet was broken.

He stood there for a while, not because he was afraid of being discovered, but because his legs were a little weak.

This window is not high, more than one meter high, he can easily climb up, but this body is still a little weak so far.

The moonlight outside is very bright, and there is no need for a light source. Lin Shan can easily see the road conditions in front.

Surrounding the back wall of this house, Lin Shan went around to the front door.

This is a wooden door. Behind the wooden door is the yard, and behind it is the hall. Several small bedrooms are built around the hall.

There is no road in front of the wooden door. It is blocked by huge grass leaves. The whole house is shaded in the grass, which is extremely secretive.

"Where to go?"

Although he wanted to explore this world, he was a little confused when he really came out.

This place is like a primitive jungle. If you are not careful, you will get lost.
