Outside of time Chapter 20: Home?

In this snowstorm, Xu Qing returned to the yard. Before he could go in, he heard the happy laughter of the Thunder Team inside.

As the dogs barked, Xu Qing, who opened the door, saw more than a dozen wild dogs in the yard.

They lay there, looking at Xu Qing coldly, Xu Qing also swept his gaze over them, and there was no sharp light, just swept away, the dozen or so wild dogs frowned and slowly retreated .

A whisper came from the Thunder Team room.

As the door opened, Cross and Luan Ya came out, looked at Xu Qing, then looked at the dozen or so wild dogs, Cross smiled slightly.

"Child, they say you have a lot of suffocation." Luan Ya squatted down, gently stroked the head of a wild dog beside him, and said to Xu Qing with a smile.

Xu Qing didn't speak, and looked at the Thunder Team who walked out of the room at the moment.

Team Lei was wearing a thick leather jacket and holding a cigarette pouch in his hand.

"The girl Luan Ya thought I was injured and worried about the safety of the camp, so she had to send these more than ten wild dogs to the nursing home."

This sentence is very simple, but Xu Qing understands it.

Team Lei didn't tell them about Xu Qing, just like how Xu Qing didn't say anything about the singing and let Team Lei make his own choice, Team Lei also gave Xu Qing the right to speak out.

Xu Qing nodded, took out the leather bag containing Bai Dan, and handed it to the Thunder team.

Team Lei took a look at it, smiled, and didn't say anything polite.

"Okay, I really need this stuff, but don't buy it in the future. I have a lot of savings here, enough to buy it." After that, he looked at the cross.

"Cross, the child is back too. If you have something, you can say it."

Cross put away his smile, looked solemn, and opened his mouth slowly.

"This time, I came here for two things."

"The first one is the captain's medicine. Luan Ya and I have already bought the medicine. It's about a month's supply. As for the latter, we will buy it again after we finish eating." Said, Cross took a skin from his waist. Take off the bag and put it aside.

"The second thing, because of the destruction of the blood shadow team, although there are other scavengers who also participated in the previous horse chestnut picking, they are not as many as us."

"I was with Luan Ya yesterday. I went to the camp owner to hand over and got paid, but... the camp owner still habitually deducted. He didn't give three clear dust pills, but only one." Cross said Looking at Luan Ya.

Luan Ya took out four leather bags and put them aside, then took out a wooden box and opened it in front of everyone, revealing a blue elixir the size of a pigeon egg inside.

A medicinal fragrance spreads out, obviously this Dan is much better than Bai Dan.

"The savage ghost has no relatives. I will split his share. These four leather bags are our respective spirit coins. As for this dust-clearing pill..."

Cross said here, looking at Thunder Team, waiting for his assignment.

"Give it to the child." Thunder Team said lightly, at this moment, he seemed to belong to the Thunder Captain's momentum, and he returned a little.

Cross-nodding, Luan Ya pondered after a moment's stun. They had asked Thunder Team before what happened in the jungle, but Thunder Team didn't say anything. The assignment at the moment had obviously given the answer.

"As for the savages...the score is right, we are his relatives."

Lei Dui sighed softly and picked up his share. Cross and Luan Ya also picked up their own. Xu Qing remained silent and picked up the leather bag.

As for the Qingchen Pill that Luan Ya handed over, Xu Qing took a look at Lei Dui, and Lei Dui had a stern look in his eyes, which made Xu Qing understand the meaning, so he put it away silently.

The four of them continued to talk for a while. Among them, mainly the three people from the cross were talking. Xu Qing was as taciturn as always, and listened quietly by the side.

But whether it is Cross or Luan Ya, they will not ignore Xu Qing's existence and occasionally ask him for opinions.

In this way, time passed, and soon noon came. As the wind and snow stopped temporarily, Cross and Luan Ya chose to leave. Before leaving, Cross spoke to Xu Qing in a low voice.

"Child, Luan Ya and I have taken on a mission to go out. During this time... the captain will be handed over to you." He took out a dagger and handed it to Xu Qing.

"Your dagger is rusty, replace it with this one, it's very sharp."

Luan Ya also handed Xu Qing a whistle.

"Child, you are very powerful, but you also need eyes and helpers, right? This whistle can easily control the wild dogs in the camp. If you need it, you can blow it. They are very smart and know what to do. what."

The two exhorted each other, clasped their fists to Xu Qing, and left.

Looking at their backs, Xu Qing put away the whistle and stuffed the dagger given by the cross into his boots, but he didn't throw away the original one.

Then he raised his head and stared at their figures until the cross and Luan Ya disappeared from the field of vision, and Xu Qing turned to look at Lei Team's room.

It took a long while before he crossed the wild dog and returned to the house.

Close your eyes and meditate cross-legged.

The wind was strong outside, making a whimpering sound, blowing across the earth, the snow in the sky and the snow on the ground blended in mid-air, and penetrated through the gaps between tents and houses, disturbing the people inside.

It also blew on Thunder Team, who was resting in the house, but he was used to it and didn't care about the cold wind.

But the image of Xu Qing shrinking in the cold wind appeared in his mind, so he turned his head and looked in the direction of Xu Qing's house. After a long silence, he put on a leather hat and walked out of the house.

Time passed, and three days passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past three days, like a snowflake, it was about to use up its last strength, spreading its residual cold, and falling continuously. The snow on the ground didn't have time to melt, and it accumulated a thick layer.

Despite the harsh climate, survival is more important to scavengers than the cold.

As a result, the camp gradually became more crowded, some continued to see a doctor, and some went to the restricted area.

At the same time, the long absence of the Blood Shadow Squad has gradually caused a discussion among the scavengers, not only from where the remarks came from, saying that the Blood Shadow Squad was in the restricted area and the entire army was wiped out.

There were not many people who believed this statement at first. After all, every member of the Blood Shadow Squad should not be underestimated.

In particular, Captain Blood Shadow is the strongest among the scavengers in the camp. If such a person goes to the restricted area many times, it is unlikely that the entire army will be wiped out.

But as time passed, and two more days passed, there was no trace of the blood shadow people, which made the camp scavengers gradually believe that statement.

And they also remembered the day Thunder Team came back, in a coma.

Thinking of the disappearance of the barbarian, everything seems to have an answer.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, without the shadow of blood, the Thunder is now the strongest team in the camp.

Therefore, when Xu Qing goes out these days, what he sees most is the awe-inspiring gaze from the scavengers around him.

He knows that what these people are in awe of is the Thunder Team, not himself, but he doesn't care about it. What he's puzzled these days is that the Thunder Team's figures leave early and return late, and they don't know what to do.

But Xu Qing knows that everyone is independent, there is no need to disturb him, and he has a lot of things to do himself, so most of the time, Xu Qing is alone in the house, silently cultivating.

With this effort, his cultivation has gradually improved, and his strength and speed have steadily increased.

As for her own shadow, Xu Qing has also studied it many times.

But the shadow has not changed, except for the absorption of heterogeneity, everything is the same as before, so that the alienation point on Xu Qing's arm has completely disappeared.

The purity of the body made Xu Qing clearly feel that the speed of cultivation was much faster than before.

Until the afternoon two days later, he was sitting cross-legged, preparing to stabilize his cultivation for a few more days, so he tried to attack the fourth layer of the Sea Mountain Art, frowned slightly, and opened his eyes.

The wild dogs were barking outside, and there was a knock on the bamboo door.

Xu Qing, who walked out of the house, noticed that the Lei team was not there. He looked out the bamboo door and saw a scavenger standing there with a hesitant expression.

This person Xu Qing had met before. He was one of the seven or eight people he rescued when he returned from the restricted area.

After noticing Xu Qing's appearance, the scavenger hurriedly clasped his fists.

"My little brother, it's me, I'm the bone knife."

"What's the matter?" Xu Qing said calmly with no expression on his face.

"This..." Bone Knife hesitated, but after a brief thought, he still gritted his teeth.

"Brother kid, I want to use five Baidan to buy an insurance policy with you." He first threw a leather bag at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn't answer, and looked at the bone knife in doubt.

Aware of Xu Qing's doubts, the bone knife outside the bamboo gate quickly spoke, and listening to his words, Xu Qing gradually understood the meaning of the so-called insurance.

According to the meaning of the bone knife, he wanted Xu Qing to go to the area of ​​the poisonous dragon pool in the forbidden area and rescue him as he did last time.

"My little brother, I'm not worried about the alien beasts in the restricted area. It's my life to die in their mouths. What I worry about most is the fog. It's too unwilling to die in the fog."

Xu Qing looked a little weird. He didn't expect the other party to make such a request, so he thought about it and asked a question.

"What if there is no fog in three days, or if you come back early?"

"There is no need to return the medicine pill, so I bought it for peace of mind." The bone knife bowed deeply to Xu Qing with a pleading expression.

Xu Qing was silent, looked at the leather bag, picked it up with a toe, and opened it.

There are five Baidan in it. Although he doesn't need it, it is the hard currency in the camp, so after thinking about it, he thinks it is not impossible.

So after pondering, Xu Qing nodded.

Seeing that Xu Qing agreed, the bone knife heaved a sigh of relief, clasped his fists in gratitude, and then left.

Xu Qing held the leather bag and narrowed his eyes. He was vigilant by nature, and he did not fully believe what the other party said.

But he doesn't think it's a trap.

Because the fog can't afford it, he doesn't have to go, and if the other party can calculate the time of the fog three days in advance, there is no need to calculate others like this.

But he remains cautious and intends to make a decision at that time.

So he turned back to the house, continued to meditate, and the night passed.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Qing, who had just finished his practice, looked up and looked outside the house. He heard the sound of dogs barking outside.

As he walked out, Xu Qing saw a strange scene. Team Lei was packing his things, wrapping large and small bags, and tying them to wild dogs, causing those wild dogs to stick out their tongues, and some of their bodies were about to fall down. .

"Finished? Go, I'll take you somewhere."

Lei Dui wiped his sweat, opened his mouth with a smile, then patted the wild dog next to him, opened the bamboo door, and waved to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was puzzled and followed, and the wild dogs also followed. Just like this, two people, a group of dogs, moved forward in this camp.

From the central to the inner ring area, there are many shops here, and most of the houses are made of bricks and tiles, which are very sturdy.

Until they arrived at a large courtyard, there were four independent brick and tile houses, each of which was much better than where Xu Qing lived before, stronger and denser.

Looking at this, Xu Qing turned to look at Team Lei.

"From now on, this will be our new home." Lei Dui said with a smile.

"New home?" Xu Qing was taken aback, the word home gave him a familiar sense of strangeness~IndoMTL.com~ I have been busy for most of my life and have saved a lot. enjoy. "

Team Lei laughed, walked first, took the package from the wild dog, and started to get busy.

Xu Qing stood there and walked in slowly after a long while, looking at the blue bricks on the ground and the house in front of him.

After half a day's work, when the night came again, the cold wind was still outside, the wind and snow were still there, and the whimpering was rising and falling, Xu Qing and Lei Dui were sitting by the stove in the house, the heat was blowing on the face, the meaning of warmth pervades the entire room.

There are no gaps in the walls here, and the cold wind can't get in at all. Xu Qing quickly noticed this and felt his body warm.

"It's not cold." Lei Dui smiled.

"Well, it's not cold anymore." Xu Qing nodded, and when he looked at the Thunder Team, there seemed to be a ray of light in Xu Qing's eyes under the light of the stove.

He is indeed not cold anymore. In this warmth, Xu Qing even trembled in the depths of his heart.

After a long time, when Thunder Team left and returned to the room, Xu Qing approached the stove alone and murmured.

"Home?"

At this moment, in the house on the side, the Thunder Team returned to the room, with a smile on his face, but his face flushed soon.

He covered his mouth and coughed a few times. He swallowed a bit of saltiness in his mouth for a long time. He sighed and stood in front of the window, looking up in the direction of the restricted area.

"I really want to... take a look again."

I don't know if everyone likes these two chapters, but I personally like them very much. Both killing and warmth need to exist. Let's spread the picture together. Any imbalance on either side will make the article lose some of its flavor.
