After the fog, I became a birdman

The time of the sandstorm is not fixed, and the duration is not the same every day. Listening to the wind outside, Su Qing yawned and dozed off against Qi Jiang, but couldn't fall asleep.

Knowing that he was very sleepy, it was not a problem to hold on all the time, Qi Jiang felt a little distressed, picked him up and put him on the bed, kissed his forehead lightly, and coaxed him in a low voice: "Go to sleep, I will be outside. "

Su Qing stretched out his hand to hook Qi Jiang's neck and remembered that he was held down, feeling a little helpless: "I really can't sleep, it's too noisy."

Hearing this, Qi Jiang, who wanted to study the detoxification pill, lifted the quilt and lay down too, and hugged Su Qing into his arms: "Then sleep with me."

As long as Qi Jiang is by his side, Su Qing always sleeps well, even if a sandstorm outside hit a big tree to their roof and made a loud noise, he only opened half of his eyes a little, and soon fell asleep .

Outside, as the dust storm blotted out the sky, the sun slowly climbed to the top of the mountain, radiating heat conscientiously, bringing with it the familiar sweltering heat.

Qi Jiang remained vigilant all the time. About three or four hours later, the sandstorm outside finally stopped. Seeing Su Qing sleeping more soundly in his arms, he wanted to quietly get up and go out to inspect the territory.

As soon as he moved, Su Qing showed some signs of waking up. Qi Jiang lifted the quilt for a while, and then carefully retracted his hand. Without any hesitation, he directly chose not to disturb his wife's sleep, and closed his eyes to lean against his wife asleep.

Once the sandstorm stopped, even though the dust in the air was severe, the fierce sun managed to illuminate the entire land with light, and the temperature rose rapidly.

It was just before ten o'clock, and the temperature outside was approaching 70 degrees. Even in Su Qing's house, which had always been cool, the thermometer on the wall fluctuated for the first time.

At noon, Qi Jiang suddenly felt a little hot, opened his eyes slightly, sat up yawning, and wanted to see if there was something wrong with the vent.

As soon as he moved, Su Qing also opened his eyes, and his voice was a little confused: "What's wrong?"

"I'll go check the vent, you continue to sleep." Qi Jiang bowed his head and kissed Su Qing's forehead, helping him tuck the quilt.

Su Qing was afraid of the cold but not the heat, so he didn't feel any discomfort under the quilt. Hearing that Qi Jiang told him to continue sleeping, he turned over and fell asleep again.

The mountains in the cat's nest had spread out into a cake at some point, and they probably felt hot too, so half of them left the cat's nest, half of them lying on the ground and sleeping soundly.

Qi Jiang glanced at her and didn't bother her, but went to the wall to look at the thermometer. It used to be at 19 degrees, and the temperature at home was comfortable under the quilt, but now it rose to 22 degrees.

19 degrees is a cool temperature, so they will cover a thicker quilt in the room, but it feels inappropriate to suddenly rise to 22 degrees.

Qi Jiang went to check the vents and found that there was nothing wrong with it, and the filter was not blocked. He guessed that the temperature outside was too high.

The thermometer in the hallway was blown away by the sandstorm before I knew it. I could see the outdoor temperature from certain windows in the house, but now I can only estimate it myself.

Qi Jiang opened the window carefully, and suddenly felt a heat wave that could roast people, and he was so startled that he subconsciously closed the window.

Although the window was only opened for a short time, Qi Jiang was sure that the temperature before was definitely not so high.

He checked the thermometer on the eye wall one last time and decided it wasn't a good sign.

Back in the room, Qi Jiang took a quilt and put it on the bed, carefully touched Su Qing's neck and back, seeing that he wasn't sweating, he didn't change the quilt for him, but covered himself with a new quilt and slept together .

After a while, feeling Qi Jiang's breath, Su Qing opened her eyes slightly, and found it strange that he was not in her bed.

"Brother Jiang..."

"Huh?" Qi Jiang turned his head, "What's wrong?"

Su Qing shook her head, pushed aside her quilt and got into Qi Jiang's side, leaning against him to close her eyes again.

Qi Jiang pursed his lips in a good mood, and then touched his cold hand, feeling a little worried: "Is it cold?"

After a while, he still didn't get an answer. Knowing that the person in his arms had fallen asleep again, he could only carefully lift up another quilt and gently cover Su Qing. Seeing that it was safe, he closed his eyes in peace. sleep.

Today, the thermometer in their room rose by one degree at two or three o'clock in the afternoon. After the hottest time of the day passed, the temperature in the room slowly dropped again.

Because the quilt that Qi Jiang changed was just suitable for this temperature difference, neither of them felt uncomfortable, but woke up naturally after sleeping.

After waking up, I felt a little hungry. This was because I didn't eat at noon.

After Shanshan came back, Su Qing found that her diet had changed, from three meals a day to two meals a day.

They are now day and night upside down, they always get up and eat during the day, and they feel uncomfortable sleeping. Su felt troubled early in the morning, and immediately took Qi Jiang to change his diet after getting the inspiration from Shan Shan.

They gradually changed from three meals a day to two meals a day, eating only after waking up in the afternoon and in the early morning.

Of course, under their control, the daily energy intake has not changed, and the meals are still so much, but the interval between the early morning and the afternoon is too long, so the first two days are really difficult, and every afternoon when you get up, you will feel When you are hungry, you feel comfortable when you are full.

However, after their bodies quickly became familiar with this eating pattern, they don't feel much now, the feeling of hunger is very slight, and they don't have to force themselves to get up and eat in the middle of going to bed every day as before.

They spent another two days of leisure time at home. During these two days, the temperature during the day also increased day by day. The highest temperature could reach 77 or 78 degrees. The temperature in their room also rose to 25 or 26 degrees. Although it is still comfortable However, the temperature in the room was rising day by day, which made Su Qing and the two of them a little worried.

After the sun goes down, even without the sun, the high temperature outside is still uncomfortable.

The herbal collection team at the base arrived in the early hours of the night. There were a total of ten people, both men and women, all riding flying war pets.

Su Qing sent Qi Jiang out, and when he came to the outskirts of the Wuxue Mountains, he subconsciously glanced at the herb-collecting team. He felt that they were all marine fish mutations, and he should have been half-hearted, but they looked very haggard and not very energetic. Well, Su Qing still kept mentioning this half-hearted thing in the end.

The herb-collecting team brought several pieces of news, that is, the Fengcheng base succeeded in grabbing water last time, and also successfully defended their water-drawing position when they were challenged by half-monsters several times.

But there is a more embarrassing thing. The water fetching position by the lake is a one-on-one challenge. Several mutants in the stable period of the base failed to defend, and in the end it was the battle pets who transformed into monsters.

Because of this, Master Han wanted to ask Qi Jiang and Su Qing to take some time to go to the base to discuss helping with training.

In addition, there are two problems that are as difficult as the plague on the coast of the canyon, that is, lack of water and heat stroke.

The concentrated area on the coast of the canyon is a sick area. The patients are too weak to dig a large underground shelter to escape the heat like Fengcheng base. Although Fengcheng base has been sending people to help, healthy people are too busy to take care of the sick. However, there are still many people who spend the day on the ground and suffer from heat stroke symptoms.

The only super-large lake nearby is in Fengwai Mountain, but they have no one to fetch water at all, so they can only rely on filtered seawater to maintain basic drinking water.

Coupled with the daily sandstorms, many patients on the coast of the canyon have reached their limit. Before the base sent a lot of healing jelly, they didn’t want to be cured, just to wait for a while, but it was still a drop in the bucket, and people were still dying every day. There were obviously some plagues The symptoms were not serious, but he went away early, which is very distressing to see.

Haigou’s production of healing jelly is limited every day. Mr. Han is afraid that everyone won’t be able to last that long, so he wants to ask Qi Jiang and the others if there is any way to prepare some medicine with better effect and less dosage of healing jelly.

There are several times more people in the canyon coast than in the Fengcheng base. If all these people are really dead, then the strength of the Fengcheng base will be reduced by half. This is something that Mr. Han cannot accept.

When Su Qing heard this, he felt something was wrong: "Where is the cultivation department?"

Although he knew that they were useless, they couldn't be so useless, right?Healing the plague won't help, why can't even help fetch water and dig shelters?

How does the herb collection team know about this kind of thing?They were only ordered to speak, and they didn't know the affairs of the upper echelon, so Su Qing naturally couldn't find out why.

Seeing this, Su Qing's eyes flickered slightly, she didn't continue to ask, and whispered to Qi Jiang: "Brother Jiang, be careful on the road, go early and return early."

Qi Jiang grabbed his hand and let go: "There are more and more mutated animals that are sick in the past two days. Remember to be careful when you hunt with Shanshan."

Su Qing nodded, in order not to delay their little time on the road, so she didn't say much, and after watching everyone leave, she took Shan Shan to hunt.

He pointed out a prey to Shanshan and didn't follow. Instead, he took a torch to burn the animal carcasses scattered in the snowless mountains.

The few firebirds in the Snowless Mountains were infected with the plague and died. Without them burning their corpses diligently every night, this job finally fell to Su Qing.

Because of this, he can intuitively feel how violent this plague is.

At the beginning, there were nearly ten thousand mutated animals in the Snowless Mountains. Now, almost half a month later, more than a thousand died of the plague, and more and more animals were infected. Even if the water level dropped, the mutated animals would not be able to survive in the past two days. The animals don't have much energy to fight anymore, not even to drive away sick animals.

Without him, there were too many sick animals. When they twisted into a rope and didn't want to leave, and other mutated animals didn't dare to approach casually, they were finally allowed to stay, and thus polluted the only nearby water source, causing the plague to spread faster.

Su Qing watched this happen. He didn't want to end up with dead bodies all over the place near his home, but if he went to the sea to get healing jelly to treat these mutated animals, he would be squeezing the living space of his own kind in disguise.

So, he did nothing but burn the corpses of the mutated animals when they died.

In order to prevent the sandstorm from blowing the corpse away and pollute it to other places, Su Qing also pinched several small spirit fire techniques to speed up the burning of the corpse.

Another night passed, Shanshan failed to hunt today, and only seriously injured the prey, because the sandstorm was coming, so she had no choice but to give up.

Su Qing took Shan Shan back to check on Jin Jin's situation, but he still didn't make any movement.

After that, he and Shanshan went home to escape the sandstorm.

The sun came out before the sandstorm hit, and the sandstorm arrived half an hour later.

Listening to the call sign outside, Su Qing was a little worried about Qi Jiang who was away from home: "I don't know if Brother Jiang and the others have found a place to escape from the sandstorm."

In his thoughts, time passed very slowly.

Qi Jiang came back on the fourth night after leaving. Su Qing was burning animal carcasses outside at the moment, and Shan Shan was also hunting outside.

I don't know if it's because of telepathy or dual cultivation, Su Qing's heart beats faster when he was outside, and he subconsciously looks at home with a smile.

call out!

A flaming thin arrow flew into the air like a signal flare. The mountains that were chasing their prey in the distance suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky, and looked at the escaped prey reluctantly, and ran back with some doubts.

Back at the place where they met, Shanshan looked suspiciously at the unburned animal carcasses in the distance, and tilted his head: "Meow?"

Su Qing didn't care about wiping off the blood on Shan Shan's paws, and flew home with the cat in his arms, saying excitedly, "Your Uncle Qi is back."

Shanshan squinted his eyes and nestled in his father's arms enjoying it. When he heard his words, his cat's eyes suddenly widened. He was not as happy as he was, but rather disgusted.

The vicious uncle is back, and she can't sleep in bed.

Flying to the cliff, Su Qing found that the lights in the house were indeed on. He couldn't wait to open the door and fly in. Seeing the familiar figure from behind, he bumped into him and hugged Qi Jiang from behind: "Brother Jiang! You're back!"

The waist in the embrace seemed to be a little thinner, Su Qing quickly raised her head, and saw Qi Jiang's sharp jawline from behind, feeling a little distressed.

"I just wanted to find you." Qi Jiang turned around and hugged Su Qing into his arms with a smile, and threw out the cat caught between them, hugged his wife in satisfaction, and sighed, "I'm finally back."

It feels so good to hold my wife.

"You've lost weight." Su Qing touched the stubble on his chin distressedly, "Why did you go for so long?"

Qi Jiang buried his head between Su Qing's neck and closed his eyes: "It took a while."

He didn't know how difficult the conditions outside were until he left home. He had to travel at night, but it was too hot to sleep during the day.

The herb-collecting team are all fish-mutated people, who are even less heat-resistant than Qi Jiang. They are very haggard when they reach the snow-free mountains, and they are sluggish on the way to the coast of the canyon.

Therefore, after Qi Jiang arrived at the concentrated place on the coast of the canyon, he couldn't take everyone into the sea immediately, so he could only let them rest for a day.

Su Qing took Qi Jiang to the kitchen, opened the lid of the pot and took out the rice inside: "I'm afraid I won't be at home when you come back, so I left some food here..."

Halfway through the conversation, Su Qing found that his body was covered with blood from Shanshan's paws, and quickly put the food back: "I'm going to take a bath."

After finishing speaking, seeing that Qi Jiang was also dirty, Su Qing took him into the room: "Let's go together, the disease comes from the mouth, wash it off before eating."

Qi Jiang slightly raised his eyebrows, smiled and went in with Su Qing to take a bath, Shan Shan, who had been trying to attract his father's attention, followed step by step, and called her father several times without hearing it.

boom!

The door of the room was closed by the vicious uncle, and Shan Shan squatted in front of the door, waving his little paws twice in anger, grunting in dissatisfaction from his throat.

For a long time, neither father nor vicious uncle came out, and Shanshan turned to pour water to take a bath by himself.

She is too small, and although she has good strength, it is inconvenient after all. She washed herself out of breath, but at least she was washed clean.

The young man, who had become fragrant again, went to the drying rack to rub himself with a clean towel in his mouth, and rubbed the fur on his body half dry. Then he shook his body in satisfaction, and walked back to the cat nest to squat and wait. Dad comes out.

The pot lid on the stove has not been put back, the food in it has become cold at some point, the sandstorm has returned to the world, and Shan Shan has dozed off and huddled into a ball at some point to sleep.

Two days later, in the middle and late August, the detoxification pill developed by Qi Jiang finally succeeded, and he also built an alchemy furnace to improve the efficiency.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong at home, and the mutated animals at the foot of the mountain were safe enough, he simply took his wife and daughter to the base to find Mr. Han.

This time when they came over, the base changed again, it looked more tidy, a bit like an old small town.

The last time Qi Jiang came over, the base was still full of yellow sand, and various wooden and stone houses stood upright in the yellow sand, scattered scattered throughout the base.

Su Qing didn't look at the entire base carefully last time, but there was no sandstorm at that time, there were all kinds of buildings in the base, and there were even many tents, which looked very messy.

Whether it was for Qi Jiang or Su Qing, the last time the base left an impression on them of embarrassment.

But this time when they came here, although there was a lot of yellow sand left by the sandstorm in the base, everyone was also moving the yellow sand out. Although they were very tired, they seemed to be in good spirits. It is embarrassing, even vigorous, and it is obvious that it has gained a foothold here.

As soon as he arrived in Fengcheng, Shanshan wanted to find Shantu. Although Su Qing was a little jealous, he still carried Shanshan to the door of Shantu's house. With a surprised face, Shantu Huaili went to look for Mr. Han with Qi Jiang.

When he heard the notification, Teacher Han was still a little surprised: "You said that both of them are here?"

Don't need someone to guard the house?

He began to envy again, their base has just established a firm foothold, and people can come out to play casually, without worrying about being stolen.

At some point, Master Han would subconsciously compare the base with the two of Qi and Su. He always felt that the strength of a large number of people could not be worse than a small family with two people.

As a result, this time it was taken ahead again.

Not reconciled to getting rid of this small point in his mind, Teacher Han hurriedly asked the patrol team to invite people in, turned around and took out his treasured tea leaves to make two cups of tea, and took out one from the drawer to add a few spiritual minerals Place the map of the logo on the desktop.

He took a second look at these spiritual mines that were about to leave him, and sighed softly: "It's all worth it."

As long as one can cultivate a talent who can stand on his own, no amount of spiritual mines will be worth it.

Soon, Su Qing and Qi Jiang entered the office, exchanged greetings with Mr. Han, and sat down politely.

"Why did Consultant Su and brother Qi come here together today?" Mr. Han was a little curious.

Su Qing knew that he didn't have enough mind, so he didn't speak, but Qi Jiang seemed much more at ease than him: "Staying at home is a bit boring, come out to get some air."

Teacher Han felt a little envious, and took the initiative to take out the map, glanced at the two of them, and finally put it in front of Su Qing and introduced it to him: "Consultant Su, the reward for the medical jelly you mentioned last time is these two veins."

"Well, I heard what Brother Jiang said."

Hearing this, Master Han nodded with a smile, and continued: "This time we found another wind attribute vein, this time it is not spar, but ore, and the output is about [-]. I want to use it to hire the two to help the base Train a few people, you see..."

"There's a new vein?" Su Qing finally became interested and took a second look at the map.

"I searched for it on purpose. The survey team we went out has some experience. There are treasures everywhere outside. If you look for it carefully, you can still find it." Teacher Han is still a little proud of this.

Su Qing and Qi Jiang looked at each other, Mr. Han took out a big bargaining chip this time.

The output is [-], even if they don't get the blessing of the light group, they only need [-] wind attribute spirits in the stable period.

Medical jelly is used to save people. Excluding the [-] wind spirit crystals that the base will leave behind, they only get [-]. Now it is only [-] for a training fee. It is conceivable how much Mr. Han invested Ben, how determined is he?

Although the spirits of wind attribute are enough, the spirits of wind attribute are rare, Su Qing still did not refuse, and nodded to Qi Jiang to show that he could accept it.

Qi Jiang also thinks it is acceptable, that is...

"Mr. Han." Qi Jiang teasingly took out a wooden box and pushed it over.

After seeing it, Su Qing finally remembered about the detoxification pill, and couldn't help laughing, which gave Mr. Han a bad feeling.

"This is it?" Master Han took it over and opened it, and saw seven round, mung bean-sized white balls inside, exuding the fragrance of medicine. Out?!"

"Well, the detoxification pill is freshly baked." Qi Jiang nodded.

Hearing this, Master Han leaned forward, his heart beating faster, and he looked at Qi Jiang nervously: "What is the utilization rate of the medical jelly? What is the effect?"

"We scraped off some powder and tried to feed a mutated animal, and it was cured after half an hour." Qi Jiang pointed to one of the detoxification pills that didn't seem to be smooth, "I can sell pills, this is it Price……"

Master Han took a look at the elixir he was referring to. In fact, if it wasn't for the mutated eyesight, it wouldn't be obvious that it had been scraped into powder at all.

He looked happy, such a little powder can heal?Wouldn't that detoxification pill be able to heal many people?Canyon Shores needs it!

The quantity of medical jelly is small, and many people died without waiting for the medicine. If there is a medicine with a higher utilization rate, then he would naturally wish for it.

But in this way, the talent training plan will start to run aground again.

Thinking of this, his complexion changed a little, wait, it seems that their base doesn't have enough bargaining chips again!Maybe you can't even afford Dan Fang!

"How much do you offer?" Master Han had a bitter face, knowing that the alchemy was precious, so he could only plead with the soft-hearted Su Qing, "Consultant Su, how about a discount?"

"This is not my recipe." Su Qing shook her head.

If Qi Jiang was still a businessman now, he would never take out such a life-saving thing, and it was even more impossible for Dan Fang to let anyone know about it.

But he is not now, he just wants to stay out of trouble, and he will not do alchemy if he can.

"A wind attribute mineral lode, I will give you an alchemy furnace." Qi Jiang was afraid that people in the cultivation department would waste medical jelly, so he decided to give him an alchemy furnace.

Teacher Han thought for a moment: "I will create another vein, and I will trouble you two to make alchemy. This is a new alchemy formula. It will take some time for the cultivation department to get started. It is important to save people, so I have to trouble you for this matter."

"Then I need a fire-type mineral vein." Qi Jiang felt that the stock of fire crystals at home was still a bit small.

He quickly finalized the handover of the mine vein with Mr. Han. In fact, there is no need to hand over anything. Anyway, there is no one guarding the mine vein. If Su Qing and the two have some professional ethics, no one would know if they just stole it.

Of course, if he didn't believe in their character, Mr. Han wouldn't be able to take out the map for them to choose.

After the handover, Qi Jiang asked where the pet department was, and he was going to pay Shan Shanjie the food expenses for this period of time.

Hearing this, Master Han waved his hand: "Shanshan belongs to the pet department, so of course it doesn't need to be counted as food expenses."

"You can't say that." Su Qing shook her head disapprovingly, "She shouldn't be on duty since she came to the new base, and she hasn't gone to training. good."

That being the case, Teacher Han didn't persuade him anymore.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, he glanced at the map on the table and made up his mind to cough softly: "Brother Qi, Consultant Su, wait a moment."

Su Qing and the two turned their heads in doubt. Teacher Han was a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to continue to procrastinate. He rubbed his hands and asked with a dry smile, "That's right, can I get credit for the training fee? Just treat it as a face? I can pay the interest. "

Su Qing and Qi Jiang:? ? ?
