Ancient Gene [End Times]

"Taiping lyrics?" Qiu Ling murmured.

"You like to listen too?" Qin An said with a smile.

"I've heard it a few times." After Qiu Ling said this, she stopped talking.

I met several mutated animals on the road, and the mutated animals on land were far worse than those in the sea, so Qin An could easily solve them by himself.The journey was faster than expected.In the evening, Qi Yu proposed to rest temporarily.I spent the night wandering on the boat last night and didn't sleep very well.Check out how much food is left today, eat more and get a good night's sleep, and try to get to Qi Xi's house before midnight tomorrow.

It has to be said that the vitality of the mutated animals is really tenacious.There is nothing wrong with the big lobster.Everyone checked in on the first floor of a building, and cleared out a space at the door.When the big lobster was roasted on the fire, after the rope was burnt by the fire, the big lobster could still shake its big pincers and struggle violently.

Unfortunately, after shaking it twice, the pliers broke.

Bao Xinyu turned the tongs out from the fire, put them back on the fire and roasted them, then turned around and asked Ke Chenguang who was preparing the dipping sauce: "How long will it take to bake?"

"Half an hour. With such a large volume, it won't hurt to bake it a little longer." Ke Chenguang dipped the tip of his chopsticks in the sauce and brought it to Bao Xinyu's lips, "Try it."

Bao Xinyu licked the sauce with his tongue and smacked his lips: "Okay."

Afterwards, Bao Xinyu said with a smile: "It's still my Uncle Ke who is virtuous, not to mention delicious cooking, the sauce is also delicious."

Ke Chenguang glanced at Bao Xinyu, but said nothing.

Bao Xinyu felt that something was missing at this time, glanced over, and saw Qiu Ling sitting on the crab on the roof of the car, crossing her legs and looking at the last quarter moon in the sky.

If it was normal, Qiu Ling must have said something to Bao Xinyu, and then Bao Xinyu retorted angrily, and finally Ke Chenguang stood in the middle, ending the debate between the two.

On weekdays, Bao Xinyu was so tired of Qiuling always stabbing him, but now he couldn't hear him, and felt uncomfortable.

Bao Xinyu approached Ke Chenguang, and asked in a low voice, "Is Miss Ling in a bad mood, she hasn't talked much these days."

Ke Chenguang shook his head: "Maybe he's in a bad mood."

Bao Xinyu rolled his eyes and asked, "Is that one here?" He remembered that if a normally cheerful little girl suddenly lost her temper, the male students in the class would say that she was here, and then they wouldn't provoke her.

Bao Xinyu didn't know much about this kind of thing. Anyway, his impression was that girls had a bad temper, so they said that was the one who came. This was almost a panacea explanation.

Ke Chenguang had no choice but reached out and knocked his head: "Don't talk nonsense. Grill your lobster."

Bao Xinyu shrugged, smiled and turned back to continue grilling the lobster.

The lobster was cooked, and everyone shared the lobster meat. Bao Xinyu called Qiu Ling twice and she didn't respond. Qi Yu took Qiu Ling's portion of meat from him, nodded to him, and jumped a few steps. On the roof.

The flames were burning fiercely, and the occasional sound of cracking firewood became the only accompaniment of the night.

Qiu Ling was eating the lobster meat with her hand in her hand, everyone looked at Qi Xi as if she had said something to her, Qiu Ling ate the meat with big mouthfuls, tears fell on the meat, Qiu Ling didn't notice it, and stuffed it whole into her mouth Here, there is no sound.

Qin An found that something was wrong there, and listened to the abnormality in his ears, only to find that the two of them stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" He Siming asked in a low voice.

"It's okay." Qin An didn't hear anything, so he didn't dare to draw conclusions easily.

They took turns keeping vigil overnight, and set out on the road again at dawn the next day.

Along the way, I passed two or three big cities, several small towns, and well-developed villages until I entered a dense forest.

It was night again, and the less obvious road ahead made it difficult for the car to drive.Qi Xi had no solution, he could only get out of the car after a while and use a scythe to cut a path ahead.

Qin An walked farther to explore the road, and almost slipped and fell into the ravine.

The further you go inside, the fewer roads and the narrower the roads.As the morning approached, Bao Xinyu finally couldn't bear to ask Qi Xiu, "How far is your home?"

"It's coming soon." Qi Xi only said.

An hour later, Bao Xinyu asked again, but Qi Yu still said that it would be soon.

Driving in the mountains is so inconvenient, in the end even Qin An couldn't help asking how long it would take, Qi Xi jumped out of the car and walked a few steps forward.Peel off the crazily growing branches in front, turn around and wave to the people behind.

Now almost everyone except the driver is beside the car, cleaning up the plants in front of them at any time.Everyone walked over quickly and walked a few steps into the branches. In front of them was the stone wall of the mountain.The stone wall is covered with vines, and it looks a bit gloomy under the light of the flashlight.

Qi Xiu peeled off the vines, and it was possible to go inside, and faintly, you could still see a little bit of starlight inside.

Qin An walked over quickly and saw clearly that it was a cave on the stone wall.Probe over the past, but also feel the wind blowing from inside.This cave is transparent from front to back.It seems that most of them were excavated by hand.

Qin An Qixiu said: "The front is your home?"

"En." Qi Xi replied.

"What about the car?" Qin An asked.

"Put it here first, and then ask someone to pick it up when we get home. It's hard for us to bring the car in."

"Oh." Qin An turned around and told the drivers, Tian Gui and He Siming, to get out of the car.

Lock the car, and take the remaining few fruits with you to prevent the fruit from breaking if the car is not brought in for a few days.Taking Batian with him, everyone walked into the cave one by one under the guidance of Qi Xi.

Qin An walked at the back to prevent monsters from following.

As soon as he entered the cave, Qin An heard that the sound of footsteps was not right. Looking back, Qiu Ling was standing outside the cave entrance in a daze.

"Qiu Ling? What's wrong?"

Qiu Ling came back to her senses, shook her head and entered the cave.Qin An stepped aside and asked Qiu Ling to go to the front. Qiu Ling didn't speak, but walked outside at the speed ahead.

The cave is not big, and it is quite loose for one person to walk through, but it seems crowded when two people walk side by side.

The crowd walked around in the cave for nearly half an hour before finally hearing the sound of footsteps ahead.

After walking for another 5 minutes, I heard a voice coming from the front: "Who is it!"

The voice sounded like a man of some age. Although he was full of air, he felt that he should be a man in his early 50s.

"It's me." Qi Xi's voice was not loud, but it was enough for the other party to hear clearly.

"Patriarch?" The other party's voice became a little more excited immediately.

"En." Qi Xi replied, and then there were a few more voices in the passage.

Continue to move forward, and after another 5 minutes, I saw someone walking with a softer flashlight.

The person walking in the front was wearing a sportswear, in his fifties, his face was still clean, except for a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

Tears welled up in his eyes, he almost didn't cry when he saw Qi Xi walk in.

"Patriarch!" The man quickly walked a few steps before bowing to salute.

Qi Xiu pulled him up with one hand, and called out to him with a smile, "Uncle Changnan."

"Patriarch, you are finally back. Your brothers and sisters have been a little anxious these days. Two months ago, the old patriarch went, and the family wanted to contact you, but they couldn't. They could only send it in a hurry according to the old rules. gone."

Qi Xiu's eyes moved slightly, he paused before he sighed, and then asked: "Sent to the forbidden area?"

"Sent it. You should have sent it yourself, but you are not here, so let your elder brother Xiaowei go."

"Then it's all right." Qi Xi's tone was quite calm, and he couldn't even tell how much sadness he felt for his mother's death.

Qin An stood at the back, paying attention to Qiu Ling's reaction.But Qiu Ling didn't move at all.

Although I know that Qi Xi and his family are different from ordinary people, it is really strange that this close relative can still be like this.

"It's fine." Uncle Changnan was stunned, sighed heavily, turned and led the way, "Let's go home first. There are all your guests behind."

"Well, there are six guests, and one is Xiao Ling."

"Xiaoling? Xiaoling is back too?"

When Qiu Ling heard her being called, she squeezed forward, passed through Qi Xi, stood in front of Uncle Changnan and called, "Uncle Changnan."

Uncle Chang Nan looked at Qiu Ling, nodded and smiled, "Okay, I didn't go out in vain. This is indeed much more stable than before. I look like an adult."

"Uncle, I'm 46 this year!" Qiu Ling reminded helplessly.

Uncle Changnan was slightly stunned: "Really? I really can't tell. Why do I feel that you were the little girl who secretly cut my clothes yesterday."

"I was sixteen at that time! When did it happen to you?" Qiuling had no choice but to turn Uncle Changnan and push him twice, "Okay. Let's go home, the end is too narrow here, and it's hard to breathe. strenuous."

"It's time for you to go home. At first you left without saying a word, and it was almost overwhelming to find you at home. Later, the animals mutated and you disappeared. Your Aunt Qiu was worried and sick for two days. This time you come back Now, remember to go over and have a look, and you, Uncle Haonian, who keep nagging him for three days without you pestering him to make him cook delicious food, he feels that something is missing."

"It's time for you to go home. At first you left without saying a word, and it was almost overwhelming to find you at home. Later, the animals mutated and you disappeared. Your Aunt Qiu was worried and sick for two days. This time you come back Now, remember to go over and have a look, and you, Uncle Haonian, who keep nagging him for three days without you pestering him to make him cook delicious food, he feels that something is missing."

Uncle Changnan was nagging, Qiuling stopped rebutting and let him talk, and the few people continued to walk in a winding way. Uncle Changnan talked all the way, which added a bit of color to the cave.

This was also the first time that Qin An and the others knew that Qiu Ling who lived here was actually such a quirky and mischievous little girl.Obviously, this was completely different from the lying and scheming Qiu Ling they knew.

God knows what this girl went through after leaving here.

After walking for nearly 10 minutes, I really walked out of the cave.

Everyone was wandering around in the cave, and they couldn't find their way for a long time. At this moment, they suddenly realized that they were breathing fresh air, which felt refreshing.

When I came out, I was standing on a platform on the cliff.There are railings on the outermost periphery of the platform.

Qin An walked to the side of the railing, looked down, and there was a bright light below.

It was a very modern residential complex, rather than a village, it would be more appropriate to call it a small city.

The inside is not big, but it is a small group of villas.The buildings inside are at least two floors, and there are as many as five or six floors.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, it is full of green mountains and green waters, and inside, there is a paradise in the mountains with complex terrain.

"Is this your home?" Qin An turned around and asked Qi Xi.

"Here is a part. There is still underground." Qi Xi said, "The above ground is rebuilt every 20 years according to the standards of the outside world, and it is relatively comfortable. Today is really hard, so let's rest first. The matter of the forbidden area is still there." There is no rush. I will deal with the affairs of the clan first."

There are stairs going down, and everyone is walking down the stairs while chatting without saying a word.

Bao Xinyu said with a pleasant smile: "I thought this place would be like the old houses on TV, but I didn't expect this place to be better than the ones outside."

"The underground is indeed an old building. But it is made of good wood, which is very strong. Rest well tomorrow, and I can let Xiaoling show you around." Qi Xi said.

"I'm not free." Qiu Ling said coldly.

Qi Xi turned his head and said helplessly: "Here they trust you the most, are you still lazy?"

"The past few months outside have exhausted me, why don't you let me rest when I get home?" Qiu Ling walked a few steps quickly, looked at the familiar scenery in front of her, and turned to look at Qi Xiu with complicated eyes, "The guest was invited by you." Yes, look at the arrangements."

Uncle Changnan laughed and said, "Just now I praised her for growing up, but now her temper has come up again. But it's true, this is our little Ling, she's crazy."

When you go down the stairs, you can see the whole picture from the front.Each villa has a large yard, and there are some things planted in the yard, presumably some vegetables and fruits.

Inside, there is even some greenery. There are neatly trimmed vegetation on both sides of the road. The tree is trimmed to an oval shape, and occasionally there are a few small branches that grow out.With the current crazy growth rate of plants, it is obviously necessary to trim several times a day.

Compared with the manor of Bitiangui's family, it not only maintains the prosperity before the end of the world, but also retains the elegant environment with high taste.

It can be seen that people who live here will enjoy it.

Uncle Changnan pointed to a villa and said, "Only Xiaoya and Xiaojun live there. There are many vacant rooms and the environment is good. You can rest there first."

Qi Xi then explained: "Qi Ya is my fourth sister, and Dou Xiaojun is the girl who takes care of my fourth sister. They are easy to get along with, so you don't have to worry."

"Is there a villa for each person here?" Bao Xinyu asked curiously.

"How is that possible." Qi Xi shook his head and said, "There are a lot of people here, and the allocation depends on the situation. Generally, a villa like this can accommodate more than a dozen people, and the ground and the ground are exchanged. In special circumstances, there are also dozens of people. Nowadays, many clansmen are running around for the things of the end times. There are not many people staying here, so it seems deserted. My fourth sister likes to stay at home since she was a child, and she rarely even goes out of the house. After a long time, it becomes The nail house in the villa. People come and go, and she always lives there."

"The one who takes care of people... is the nanny?" Qin An asked.

"It's about the same, but the wages are paid by each person. Those who don't want to go out will always have to bear some work if they stay here."

While speaking, he walked to the gate of the villa's yard. The gate of the villa is two electronic gates with a width of more than three meters.

Qi Xi rang the doorbell, waited for a few seconds, and heard a voice from the other end: "Patriarch?"

"It's me." Qi Xi said, "I brought back a few friends, and they are staying here temporarily. Open the door."

As soon as the voice fell, the door opened.

When everyone walked in, Qin An looked around. There were two fruit trees growing seven or eight meters high in the yard, and some vegetables were planted on the ground.

The door of the villa was also opened, and a woman about 150 tall with a ponytail trotted out all the way, with a bit of surprise on her face, she saw Qi Xiu and bowed first: "The patriarch."

Qi Xi nodded: "Fourth Sister is asleep?"

"Not yet. Sister Ya goes to bed at two or three o'clock these days, and wakes up after ten o'clock." Dou Xiaojun nodded to Qin An and the others, "These are your guests. Ah, Sister Ling is back!"

Qiu Ling nodded to her, but did not speak. Dou Xiaojun welcomed them into the villa, let them sit in the living room first, and she went to prepare some fruit juice and snacks.

Several people sat down on the sofa, glanced at each other, and didn't know what to say when they heard footsteps upstairs.

Everyone looked around, and a girl in her early 20s walked down gracefully.

She wore a long dress, although the style was simple, but her good looks set off her body with a sense of nobility.Her hair was draped behind her back, as smooth as a shampoo commercial on TV.

The strangest thing is that she is holding a two-foot-long pipe in her hand, and there is a cigarette pouch hanging under the pipe.

The girl looked down on the stairs, squinted her eyes, and the smile bloomed on her face along her eyes, making the surrounding air stained with amazement.

"You still want to come back. You thought you couldn't find a home." The girl laughed and walked down slowly.

As soon as people approached, they smelled a fragrance.This fragrance is very strange, and I can't tell what it is, but it is not bad, it smells very good.

"Xiao Ling also came back. I think if you don't hide here for two days, the old men at home will stare at you because of your beard. I'm afraid that you will be beaten when they see them." The girl sat down directly. Beside Qiu Ling, one hand was on Qiu Ling's shoulder.

Qiu Ling hid the cigarette pot in her hand, frowned and said, "Pinch this in my hand when I go downstairs."

This person is Qi Xi's fourth sister, Qi Ya.

"It's not that you don't know, this is my lifeblood." Qi Ya took a puff of cigarette, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, "Besides, this doesn't smell bad."

When the smoke dissipated, Qin An thought it was ordinary tobacco. When the smoke spread over, he lifted his nose and smelled it, and the smell was exactly the same as when Qi Ya just walked over.

Qi Xiu said: "My fourth sister was born weak. When I was a child, the doctor in the clan gave me a spice prescription. I usually use it as incense to light up for my health. Later, when she grew up, I asked someone to change the prescription into cigarettes. The ointment is sucked every day. It smells good, and the fourth sister likes it. After a long time, the smell like smoke is revealed in her bones, so she never dares to play hide-and-seek with others, and she can smell her body from a distance. You can tell where she is hiding by following the smell."

After listening to such an introduction, this is a proper modern version of Xiangfei.

Qin Ando took a look at her, just in time Qi Ya's eyes also turned.The two looked at each other, Qi Ya smiled and said, "Do you have a jade token?"

Qin An was slightly stunned: "How do you know?"

"Your spirit is much stronger than ordinary people outside. And you were brought back by Lao Qi. If you meet these two conditions, you can also have a jade card." After Qi Ya finished explaining, she turned her head and looked at other things. People, finally their eyes fell on Xiao Hai, "Are you Xiao Hai?"

Xiao Hai can also be regarded as a public figure, a young and good-looking Olympic champion, which made him a lot of media attention in the past.Although it is not a household name, it is normal to be recognized.

"It's me." Xiao Hai was also used to being recognized by others, so he smiled calmly.

Qi Ya's eyes brightened, and she said again: "Do you still remember Li Minghao?"

"Li Minghao?" Xiao Hai frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Is that the figure skating one? I remember he won a gold medal, and even took a photo for me to sign."

"Yes! That belongs to our family." Qi Ya couldn't stop laughing after thinking about it, and said while laughing, "As far as four or five years ago, my sixth son was very fascinated by the miniature after watching the Olympic Games back then. A photo of you wearing swimming trunks pestered Li Minghao to help him find you for an autograph. Later, Lao Liu put your photo on the bedside and looked at it day and night. Hahaha, later the third sister’s house The son made a fuss and took the dog to play in Lao Liu's room. Not to mention breaking the photo frame, he even ate half of the photo. Lao Liu cried all afternoon holding the photo with only swimming trunks left. Hahaha! For a few days we still used this to run on the sixth child."

Everyone couldn't help laughing, Qin An looked at Qi Xi, and found that he was pressing his forehead to cover his face, but the corners of his lips were actually curled up.

"At that time, Lao Liu was so angry that he almost didn't fight. My third brother-in-law specially printed a bunch of your photos to compensate Lao Liu, and this matter was over. Now Nao Nao sees that Lao Liu's legs are still weak." Speaking of this What happened, Qi Ya laughed so hard that she could hardly stand up straight.

There was also a smile on Qiu Ling's face, and she asked, "What about Sixth Sister?"

"I went to Japan," Qi Ya replied, "I heard that a mutant with a particularly high degree of mutation appeared there, and I suspect that there is also a jade tablet there. So the sixth went to have a look. Now there are only a few brothers and sisters, just me I'm with my elder brother and my second sister, my third sister and her son are in Beijing, I don't know where my fifth child is, and the last contact I made was in Guangxi."

"Japan?" Qin An glanced at He Siming, and they both looked at each other and smiled.

"What?" Qi Ya asked.

Qin An explained: "It's nothing. It's just that when we first met Qiu Ling, she pretended to be Japanese and deceived us all. At that time, there was a real Japanese in our team, so we didn't realize it."

Qi Ya understood: "It's something my Xiaoling can do."

Qi Ya turned around and took two puffs of cigarettes, Qiu Ling said, "I found Sun Quan. He is with Lin Nuan now, and he will go to Beijing in a while."

Qi Ya was slightly stunned, a puff of smoke circulated in her lungs twice before spitting it out.

"Didn't you want to come back and take a look?" Qi Ya said.

"She felt ashamed to come back. She shook like a sieve when she saw my brother's body. If she came back, she would probably be scared to death." Qiu Ling said, "But people can correct their mistakes. Now they have trained a few mutant animals, and their combat effectiveness is quite high. of."

Qi Ya nodded: "Her talent is good. If she hadn't run away halfway, she might be even better now. If you go out and tell her again. If you want to come back, go to the gate of the forbidden area and kowtow to your ancestors. Go and tell her. But it doesn't matter if you don't come back, our family doesn't need her alone. It's where her talent lies, and it's easy to mess up anywhere in this world."
