Rebirth of turning waste into treasure

Night fell quietly, and with the continuous blowing of the cold wind, the temperature suddenly broke through zero. The harsh environment made many animals fall asleep, and only a few life forms that could resist the severe cold and strong wind persisted in hunting.

The empty tree is a very huge mutant plant. The trunk of the tree is even as huge as a house. Its leaves are thick and its branches are few, but the center of the trunk is hollow, dry and firm.

This is a mutated plant that alien races and humans who travel long distances are very happy to encounter, because the branches of the empty tree are concentrated on the top of tens of meters high, and they feed on catching birds and other creatures, but they will not cause any harm to the creatures passing under the tree. threaten.

After two hours of marching against the cold wind, the castle team came across an unoccupied empty tree.

Cheng Xiao was tightly wrapped in a black coat, only two eyes were exposed. He raised his head from Lan's arms and looked at this towering giant tree. In the dark night, he couldn't see the top of the tree clearly. A slight twitching of the branches above was heard.

Several aliens tore a hole in the trunk, allowing the rest of the members to enter one by one.

Cheng Xiao looked at the opening, and saw that the strands of fibers felt very flexible. Judging from the effort of the foreign race to tear it apart, the tree hole was indeed very strong.

Lan carried Cheng Xiao into the tree trunk, and he didn't take his turn today, but because he was afraid of some fierce beasts chasing him, Lan still searched for a place to stay around the empty tree with a few aliens in charge of the night watch. Physique, not very afraid of such severe cold.

Lin sat next to Cheng Xiao, and took out the roasted wild rhizomes in the package. The cold food tastes very dry and hard, but it is not suitable for fire in the tree hole, and the thick smoke will suffocate humans... Aliens It is only to light up some oil wax that I carry with me for lighting.

Cheng Xiao loosened his tightly wrapped coat, he didn't feel that cold, and the temperature inside the tree trunk was several degrees higher than outside.

He leaned against a slightly raised tree wall, rubbed his stiff palms, and a piece of wild rhizome was handed to him.

Seeing his mother and father taking the food, Rin began to lower his head to eat the allotted jerky. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that there was another cub beside the mother and father.

A foreign minor who was about the same age as her was abandoned... Rin recognized this foreign cub, but the other party rarely appeared in front of them on weekdays.

"Hey, Rin, why is he here?" Rong came over with a piece of dried meat in his mouth. An Yun was helping Jing to resettle the injured aliens and humans. By the way, he asked him to come over to see if Cheng Xiao was injured, and gave some to stop the bleeding. Come here.

Even if they weren't injured, it's good to keep them as a spare. These pills are also one of the compensation items at the resting place, and they just happened to come in handy now.

"I don't know." Rin continued to swallow the jerky. Although it was too hard to swallow, it was nothing to the foreign race.

Rong patted his head, smiled and handed the hemostatic pill to Cheng Xiao. It is too unbelievable to hear that this human helped Lan kill the skull beast.

This is the pill?After Cheng Xiao expressed his gratitude, he picked up one of the jet-black pills. It turned out that there were already pills, and it was said that they were also obtained from the central city.

Whether it's an easy-to-carry pill or a protective gown, Central City shows its powerful development all the time.

Cheng Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, the beast at the water source, the messenger behind it, the central city...

It's not a good situation to be in the dark.

Qi Qi looked at the wild rhizome in Cheng Xiao's hand, and then at the pitiful half-pulled piece of meat in his hand, he tore open the piece of meat, and put the larger piece into the human hand.

Foreign races will not owe favors for no reason.

Cheng Xiao was stunned for a moment, then looked at the underage foreigner who was staring at him seriously, his bony body was straight, but his face was rather handsome, his tightly pursed red lips were completely cracked at this moment, his fingers There are also bloody mouths all over the body, which is caused by fighting with the weapon tightly.

The resilience of minor aliens is not as strong as that of adult aliens, so the recovery time will be extended later.

"...No need." Cheng Xiao stuffed the meat slices back into the boy's hand, and took the water bag that the boy had put aside, shook it, and there was still half of the bag.

He unscrewed the pouch, and as expected, it was just pure water, without the slightest smell of herbs... The rations for underage aliens are not too much, and children like Qi who are not protected by their parents and who are often injured are easy to consume Drop the silverleaf clover distributed by the castle.

Cheng Xiao took out a pack of prepared large fungus tree mushroom powder from his package, poured it into the pouch, and gently shook the water pouch to make the medicinal liquid more even.

Qi had been staring at the actions of the human beings in front of him, he had never seen that kind of powder, but obviously Cheng Xiao didn't intend to poison his broken water sac.

The fresh and refreshing medicinal smell began to permeate, and Qi Qi couldn't help moving the tip of his nose, staring at the water sac in the human hand, but he didn't intend to reach out and take it away.

Cheng Xiao covered the water bag and handed it to the young man in front of him. The potion made from the tree mushroom powder was enough to heal the blood on the other party's body. Otherwise, the young man might have been on the road for more than ten days. Can't make it through.

Qi lowered his head to look at the water bag that was handed back to him, paused for a moment, then raised his head and stared at the human.

"Try." Thinking that the aliens are very vigilant, Cheng Xiao picked up his water bag, took a sip of water, swallowed it slowly, and signaled to the other party that it was a liquid with the same smell.

Qi tilted his head, he didn't suspect that humans were poisoned, but he didn't know why he was so kind to him.

The boy withdrew his gaze, unscrewed his water bag calmly, and took a sip of the liquid medicine slowly. The cool and comfortable taste made him startled. With the spread of the medicine, the pain in the wound gradually subsided, and his physical strength began to recover rapidly. Qi Qi looked at Cheng Xiao in surprise, it was actually invented by this human being? !

Seeing the young man staring at him with wide eyes, Cheng Xiao smiled faintly, the effect of the big fungus tree mushroom is even more effective on the cubs.

Rong looked at the interaction between the two, and did not expect that Qi, who had never been close to anyone, actually drank Cheng Xiao's water mixed with medicinal powder... His parents had specially brought the food to Qi before, but the other party didn't even look at it. Look, everyone is very wary.

Now that he had given the pill to Cheng Xiao, after completing his task, Rong squatted back to Rin's side. After all, he was a foreign race of the same age, so it would be good to communicate his fighting skills.

"He's with you?" Rin suddenly asked coldly.

"Are you going to give up?" Rong glanced at the young man who was drinking the liquid medicine, "It's a group, but we don't know each other well. He only appeared during training, and he doesn't know where to hide."

Under normal circumstances, the competition among minors of different races is very fierce, but proper contact and communication are also necessary. Guys like Qi, who have no parents and walk alone on weekdays, are indeed rare.

Of course, strength is another matter.

"How's the combat power?" Rin raised his eyebrows and asked lightly.

Why did he suddenly become interested in Qi? Rong thought about it carefully and said, "I have never won against him."

There is nothing embarrassing about admitting failure. If you lose now, you may not win in the future.

"..." The strength is unknown, but Rin can vaguely know that among the young people of the same age, Rong's combat power is considered top-notch, and after that, basically in the usual hunting practice, he is rarely forced to Use all your strength.

A lot of training is done in private.

It's just that this person named Qi was too close to his mother and father. Rin looked at the boy with a blank face and thanked humans seriously.

Underage aliens are quite polite, Cheng Xiao thought to himself, raised his head inadvertently, only to find that Rin was just looking at him.

Cheng Xiao waved his hand and asked the child to come over.

Rong felt that Rin got up a little too quickly, he shrugged and continued to gnaw on his own jerky, he was too tired today.

Rin walked in front of the human, and when he walked past Abandon, he glanced at him slightly.

Abandoned sticking out the tip of her tender pink tongue, licking off the medicinal liquid that accidentally got on her lips.

Lin turned his head coldly, he didn't lack such liquid medicine, Cheng Xiao had prepared a water bag full for him before.

Cheng Xiao pulled the child to him and looked him up and down. There were no signs of serious injuries, and some small wounds had healed. "Is there any discomfort?"

Cheng Xiao thought of those ferocious beasts. Although the aliens were physically strong, if they were hit directly, they might suffer internal injuries.

"...None." The child spit out a word with an unchanged expression.

Cheng Xiao paused, maybe the cubs of foreign races don't really need the close care of the elders, but the kids are so young, they can't just be left alone.

The human's hand touched Rin's abdomen. During the melee, he seemed to see a small beast's tail sweeping Rin.

The young man frowned slightly for a moment, and was caught by Cheng Xiao who had been observing the other party's expression.

Hugging Rin in his arms and letting him sit on his lap, Cheng Xiao lifted up Rin's shirt, and it was shockingly purple.

Is this what Rin said about being uninjured?

Cheng Xiao frowned slightly, poured the medicated oil he carried with him into the palm of his hand, rubbed it to warm it, and covered the child's smooth and firm abdomen. When conditions permit, the treatment of external medicine is also effective for foreigners.

Rin wanted to struggle, but he couldn't resist humans. In the past, humans would caress his wounds, usually for the purpose of kneading him maliciously, and taking advantage of the situation to make the injuries worse.

Cheng Xiao rubbed the child's bruised area vigorously, thinking that the child was afraid of pain, so he kissed Lin's forehead by the way, "Good boy."

The child froze immediately, and was kissed pamperingly again, and then... be good?

Rin narrowed his eyes and stopped struggling, but looked straight at the human being, who was rubbing the wound on his abdomen with a serious expression.

"My name is Qi." The boy's voice suddenly sounded.

Cheng Xiao raised his head and found that it was the boy sitting beside him who was talking... Abandoned, that's really not a good name.

"Abandoned, remember, my name is Cheng Xiao." This was a sincere gesture of favor from the other party, Cheng Xiao hooked the corners of his mouth and nodded, but his hands could not be free.

"Need help?" Qi said kindly.

"No, thank you." Cheng Xiao smiled slightly at the young man, and then turned his attention back to Rin. He seemed to feel that the child's buttocks had moved a little bit ago. Did he feel uncomfortable sitting?

Cheng Xiao adjusted his posture and kneaded for a longer time, which would help in promoting blood circulation and dispelling blood stasis.

Two 10 minutes later...

"I heard that some parasitic plants inside the empty tree can be used as medicine, do you want to have a look?" Qi suddenly asked.

"Parasitic plants?" Cheng Xiao was aroused a little interest, maybe it is a very useful medicine.

"It's over there." Qi pointed to a seemingly smooth tree wall not far away.

Cheng Xiao wanted to stand up, but found that Lin was fast asleep.

The child lay obediently in his arms, with his eyes closed, and his long eyelashes, which had always maintained an indifferent expression, suddenly softened a lot.

Cheng Xiao couldn't help smiling faintly, stretched out his hand to pinch Rin's cheek, turned his head and said with abandon, "I won't go now, I'll go and have a look later."

It was rare for the child to fall asleep in his arms, and Cheng Xiao felt that this was a great breakthrough.

"Okay." Qi nodded and sat back on the spot.

Cheng Xiao squinted his eyes and began to take a nap. Most of the human beings also fell asleep at this time.

This human being... Abandoned did not rest, but kept looking at Cheng Xiao, he was the No.1 looking at himself, without those boring and pitiful people, just pure concern.

Rin opened his eyes, and looked at Xia Qi lightly.

The other party raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head away, and closed his eyes.
