When Tang Ye was carrying the 'prey' home, the old man and Xiaopang were smashing rocks.
To be more precise, the old man was lying on a dilapidated wicker chair. He was holding a big iron jar with a few big tree roots soaked in his hand and commanding the little fat man to use a big hammer to carry the little fat man down the mountain.
The big stones are shaped into neat four squares...
Shameless old thing!
Square stones are used to build houses. Such houses are strong and well-sealed. They can not only prevent monsters from colliding with them, but also protect them from solar storms and acid rain erosion.
After the cataclysm, not even a tenth of humanity remained. Conditional migration to Nova was the Red Moon base that scientists and plutocrats had been developing for a long time.
Those without conditions, such as the Tang bandits, became orphans in the ruins.
In order to defend against various terrifying animals or compatriots who are more terrifying than animals, people naturally gathered together, so there were one human gathering area after another.
It is human nature to hug each other for warmth, but of course we should be wary of hugging venomous snakes and hedgehogs.
People die every day in the gathering area, and new wanderers will come from somewhere. Therefore, a lot of stones are needed to build houses here.
Masonry, a profession that was on the verge of being eliminated before the catastrophe, is now in short supply and has become the first choice for young people to seek employment and make a living...
"Brother, are you back?" Xiaopang stopped the hammer in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and greeted Tang Bandit honestly.
It didn't matter that he wiped it like this, the dust on his palms mixed with the sweat on his face, and there were a few fingerprints on his face, suddenly turning into a big painted face.
The old man pointed at the little fat man and cursed loudly, yelling angrily: "How many times have I told you? Don't wipe your face when you are working... If you behave like this, where can I get water to wash your face?"
"When did you have someone wash your face with water?" Tang Bandit defended Xiaopang and sneered again and again and said, "Why don't you have someone wipe it with your sleeve? We have all forgotten the last time we washed our faces."
"Whenever I washed my face last time, that's when you wash your face." The old man replied rudely.
Because both Tang Bandit and Little Fatty wash their faces with the old man's wash water, the old man ranks first, Tang Bandit is half a year older than Little Fatty, so luckily he ranks second, and Little Fatty ranks third...
Although there were only two people in front of him, because he hadn't washed his face for a long time, when it was Little Fatty's turn, he was almost like a basin of mud.
Not sure whether it will be clean after washing, but it must be very moisturizing...
Otherwise, how could you still be as fat as a flower-faced steamed bun after working and living in harsh conditions exposed to wind and sun all day long?
After the cataclysm, a large amount of water resources on the planet's surface were polluted, and even the groundwater became highly corrosive due to the intrusion of acid rain and the entry of toxic gases.
That's not water, that's sulfuric acid. It's really hard to find a clean, usable water source.
"That's called washing your face? Do you still want to be embarrassed when you say this?"
"You bastard, you have the nerve to accuse me? I asked you to go hunting... What is that thing you are carrying on your back?"
"Human." Tang Bandit said.
The old man shook his head, looked at Tang Bandit with a serious look, and said in a deep voice: "How many times have I told you, we don't eat this. We couldn't do it before, and we won't do it in the future."
"Human flesh is sour." Xiaopang grinned stupidly.
"..."
Seeing Tang Bandit and the old man looking at him with horrified expressions, Xiaopang was so frightened that he quickly explained, "I haven't eaten it. I heard it from Grandma Wang at the entrance of the village... I don't eat it.
I won’t eat even if I starve to death.”
"This is not for you to eat, this is what I picked up from outside..." Tang Bandit patted the woman's plump buttocks and shouted: "Hey, wake up."
He carried the woman back like a sheep, his shoulders pressing against her abdomen, and the woman's upper body was thrown behind him casually.
He was holding the two-headed sheep in his left hand, so he had to pat her with his right hand to wake her up.
Well, it is indeed easier to take pictures this way...
When he and the woman who fell from the sky looked at each other, the woman closed her eyes and passed out.
This made Tang Bandit feel deeply frustrated, and even for a moment, he had a certain degree of doubt about his appearance.
Of course, when he thought of his own name, he immediately dismissed this ridiculous idea.
"Picked it up? Where did you pick it up?"
"Hate the mountain." Tang Bandit said.
"How did you pick it up?"
"When I was carrying the two-headed sheep home...unexpectedly, a white light lit up in the sky, and then a big tin box fell...She climbed out of the tin box...
....”
The old man climbed up from the wicker chair, walked forward and looked at the woman's clothes and appearance carefully, and said with a solemn expression: "They should have come from Xinxing, and I don't know what kind of disaster they suffered... We don't care about people like this."
If you can’t keep her, send her away quickly.”
"Okay." Although Tang Bandit thought that the old man's character was not good, he believed in his survival wisdom. Otherwise, a small combination like them, one old and two young, would have been eaten up to the bone and scraps.
Nothing left.
Tang Bandit turned around and left with the woman on his shoulders. When he reached the door of the small courtyard, he asked aloud: "Where to send her?"
The old man showed his signature expression when he was constipated. He hesitated for a while, waved his hand and said: "Since you picked it up, it is a personal item gifted to you by God... Should you throw it away or keep it?"
, it’s up to you.”
After saying that, the old man walked back to the house carrying the big teapot.
"...."
The Tang bandits were stunned.
This old guy actually resorted to the poisonous trick of ignoring the matter and hanging it up?
"Brother, keep it." Xiaopang wiped away the snot from his nose and stood nearby and reminded: "Keep it for us to knock stones."
"..."
－－－－－
When the girl opened her eyes, she saw Tang Bandi taking out a ball of dark green sticky substance from his mouth and applying it to her exposed calf.
Snapped!
Very accurate!
The unknown mass happened to cover the wound on her calf, and a strong coolness hit her, suppressing the burning sensation there. It was only then that she smelled a whiff of herbs.
Fresh flavor.
"What are you doing?" the girl asked.
My voice is hoarse, as if I haven't drank water for a long time.
"Treat the disease," Tang Bandit said. "You are injured. There are eleven wounds on your body, three big ones, nine small ones...oh, eight small ones..."
"...No tools for making medicine?"
"Yes." Tang Bandit said. "It's outside. I'm too lazy to get it...I didn't have any water to clean it after I took it..."
"...."
"Besides, my mouth has been a bit inflamed recently... The juice from the leaves of the snake tree has anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects, and I don't want to waste it."
Very reasonable!
"...Thank you." The girl said aloud.
In a matter of life and death, all details can be ignored.
People are going to starve to death and you still despise someone else for not washing the bowl they serve you. That's either stupid or contrived.
Thinking of this, the girl glanced at Tang Bandit's Wuqing mouth and thought, luckily that's not a rice bowl...
"Who are you? Where is this place?" the girl asked aloud.
Tang Bandit looked at the woman and said, "I should ask you this question first, right? I have taken in a woman of unknown origin, and I am also under a lot of pressure..."
The old man doesn't care, the fat guy can't, he has to be responsible for his own life and safety.
He has already dedicated his insignificant share of purified water every day, and even used the leaves of the snake tree that he had collected for a long time. He may sacrifice more...
Therefore, he must find out the identity of this woman.
"I'm from Xinxing." The girl looked at Tang Bandit and said.
This makes her attitude more sincere.
"I can tell." Tang Bandit nodded. From her clothes and the pile of iron shells she rode on, she could tell where she came from at a glance...
There are no such high-tech products on the ruins.
Besides, her face is so white...
On top of the ruins, there is either acid rain or solar magnetic storms. There is a lack of food and water, and the living environment is extremely harsh. Who can have such skin?
Except chubby!
"We came to Blue Star to explore, but there was an accident on the spaceship. It was a critical situation. I escaped in the escape capsule..." the woman said.
"May I have your name?"
"Phoenix," the woman said.
"Phoenix?"
"Phoenix."
"Liar." Tang Bandit curled his lips and said loudly.
"..."
"I said, you have eleven wounds on your body, two are sword wounds, one is a bullet wound...the others are scratches from falling...if
There was an accident on the spaceship, how did you get the sword and bullet wounds on your body?"
"Besides, I know there is a Phoenix Empire on Nova... Are you from the Phoenix Empire? You have just woken up, and you may not have had time to arrange your fake name... So before I
When I asked you your name, you just said it was Phoenix..."
Fenghuang glanced at Tang Bandit in surprise and thought, this guy who just made mistakes in adding and subtracting single digit numbers actually has such a delicate and sensitive mind?
Suddenly, she felt a chill running down her spine: What if he deliberately exposed his flaws?
He deliberately pretended to be a mediocre young man in order to let himself relax his vigilance and extract more useful information from his own mouth.
terrible!
Phoenix sighed softly and said: "My name is indeed Phoenix. There are many girls named Phoenix in the Phoenix Empire. I am just one of them."
Tang Bandit nodded and said, "I can accept this reason."
Accepting it or not is one thing, believing it or not is another thing.
"As for the sword wounds and gunshot wounds on my body... I didn't want to talk about these originally... I am a student of the Phoenix Empire's Royal First Military Academy. This time we came to Blue Star under the guidance of my instructor.
Exploring and looking for legendary monuments..."
"At the beginning, everything went smoothly. However, until we found a king's tomb... a group of people wanted to take that tomb as their own, so a fierce conflict broke out
...I ran into the spacecraft and entered the escape capsule in time and was lucky enough to escape..."
"Where are the others?" Tang Bandit asked.
"Most of them are dead..."
"Those who are not dead... are those who want to take over the tomb as their own. In order to kill people and silence them, they may track your whereabouts, right?"
Phoenix nodded and said, "Yes."
She couldn't hide this, and she had to be prepared...
"But don't worry. When my injuries get better, I will leave immediately in an escape capsule... and I won't cause you any trouble."
"Then when will your injury heal?" Tang Bandit asked expectantly. "Can you do it tonight?"
Phoenix glanced outside and asked, "What time is it now?"
"Nine thirty-five in the evening." Tang Bandit raised his wrist and looked at the electronic watch he had picked up on his wrist, and said, "It could be forty-five...this watch is
The error is less than ten minutes... There is not much time left for you."
