After the fog, I became a birdman

Chapter 144 The 2nd Year Rainy Season

Not long after Qi Jiang and Su Qing left, Liu Xingjie happened to go to the patrol detachment to investigate the mutant plants to inquire about some work conditions.

When talking about the insect repellent powder, the person who went to Su Qing’s house to investigate suddenly mentioned that they also had the insect repellent powder. At that time, everyone didn’t pay much attention to it. Who doesn't?

It is also not seen that the previous anthelmintic powder is useful for the new parasites.

But when Liu Xingjie left the patrol team, it suddenly occurred to him that they didn't know which base Qi and Su came from, and the deworming medicine on their bodies might have a different formula.

The two of them seemed to be very particular about their lives. They had to drain water for washing and cooking. If they were not infected, their deworming medicine might be effective against the new type of parasite.

Thinking of this, Liu Xingjie hurried to the hospital to find someone. Halfway there, he felt that there were too many people in the hospital, so he simply came to Qi and Su's house to see if anyone was at home.

Unfortunately, he knocked on the door for more than ten minutes and no one answered. Liu Xingjie felt a little disappointed and thought they were also infected with parasites. When he left, he heard someone say that they had just left the house not long ago, and hope was rekindled.

Qi and Su were not at the base, so they probably went to the territory. Liu Xingjie ran out of the base non-stop.

Naturally, there was no one in the territory, but today many people came out to hunt and find medicine. Liu Xingjie asked a few people and knew that Qi Jiang and the others had gone into the jungle. This also made him realize that the two of Qi Jiang were really not easy.

There are three kinds of dangers in the jungle behind this territory, namely the monkey herd, the crocodile river valley, and the wild boar herd with fangs. Although Qi Jiang and the others entered it easily, in fact the monkey king of the monkey group and the leader of the wild boar with fangs are all dangerous. It was awakened three times, and in the Crocodile Valley, there was even a Crocodile King who had awakened four times. Even Liu Xingjie would not easily enter such a dangerous place.

However, just not going in easily doesn't mean he can't get in, Liu Xingjie finally followed Qi and Su's aura into the jungle.

As soon as he came in, he realized that something was wrong.

Too quiet.

"These two..."

Liu Xingjie frowned slightly, stood on the path where the group of monkeys came out, and listened for 2 minutes, only to find that there was really no other sound in the forest except the sound of rain.

Not to mention the usual birds and insects, but now there is only the sound of the rushing river in the crocodile valley, and there is no pig sound in the wild boar's territory, and even the loudest monkeys have disappeared. same.

As a four-time awakener, Liu Xingjie will never be able to do this. When he usually comes in, monkeys and wild boars with fangs will at most avoid him. He should be noisy and noisy, and the Crocodile River Valley is not shy at all. he.

Liu Xingjie felt more and more unable to see through Qi Jiang and Su Qing: "What are the origins of these two people?"

As he walked, he was vigilant about his surroundings. When he passed the territory of the monkey group, he found that the group of monkeys did not stay on the tree at all, but hid under a rock and shrank into quails, as if they were afraid of offending some kind of existence.

At this moment, Liu Xingjie suddenly had a feeling that it was taken for granted that Qi Jiang and the others were not simply awakened four times.

In fact, this is not without symptoms.

Although Qi Jiang and the others concealed their identities and strengths, they did it too openly and perfunctorily. The strong self-confidence and strength of the two made people dare not wantonly explore. Naturally, they did what they said.

Liu Xingjie left the territory of the monkeys and followed the breath all the way to the vicinity of the river valley. After seeing the honest behavior of the monkeys, and when he found that all the crocodiles that used to like to lie in rows by the river had disappeared without a trace, his heart was full. I don't feel surprised anymore.

When he left Crocodile Valley, Su Qing finally remembered who the footsteps were from: "Is that Liu Xingjie?"

"Well, it's his footsteps." Qi Jiang grabbed the wooden pillar in front of him and shook it. Seeing that it was stable, he walked to the other corner of the tarpaulin, holding the pillar and stabbing it down with both hands, even a big hammer No need, the wood on the ground was shortened visibly to the naked eye.

He continued to squat down to nail the brackets to the pillars. After Su Qing sprinkled all the powder on his hands, he looked at the remaining powder on his hands and guessed softly: "Did those patrols ask about the powder during their investigation?" ?”

"Well, that's probably why." Qi Jiang went to another corner to tie a pillar.

Hearing this, Su Qing carried the medicine powder and walked to Qi Jiang, bowed his head and handed a hammer to him who was squatting down to nail wood: "What do you think about the medicine powder?"

The hammer in Qi Jiang's hand stopped in the air when he was about to smash it down: "I heard that the base has sent people into the jungle to find suitable insect repellent drugs. Sooner or later they will find the raw materials for our pharmaceuticals. The insecticide was sold to the Hope Base."

"This insect repellent powder can only repel insects but not kill insects. The price is definitely not too high. We can only get a little beast pill or spirit mine. Don't spend too much energy arguing with others, or focus on our own Things." Su Qing was actually not very interested.

They really don't lack spirit mines, spirit stones and all kinds of rare treasures. If they really want to lack, they lack the treasures of heaven and earth they want, and this Hope Base doesn't have them.

That being the case, there is only one animal pill that they are interested in.

But I hope that the base is different from Fengcheng. It is useless for Fengcheng to take animal pills, so I will give them to them, and save a little for later use. But I hope that the people in the base rely heavily on animal pills to accumulate energy, and they definitely want to lower the price. , It will take some time to go back and forth.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, just leave it to me." Qi Jiang smiled lightly, "Now they are in a hurry and not us, but they can't waste our time by bargaining."

After finishing speaking, they stopped talking about this matter, and the two quickly set up the pillars of the work shed, and the sound of Liu Xingjie's footsteps got closer and closer.

There is still a little work left to deal with the aftermath. Su Qing waved his hand to get the rainwater out of the work shed, and looked back towards the direction Liu Xingjie came from: "Go and do your work, just leave it to me here."

"Yeah." Qi Jiang put down the tools in his hand to pick up the umbrella on the ground and opened it, then turned his head and smiled at Su Qing, "I should go back to Hope Base with him, it will take a little longer, don't you Too worried."

"it is good."

Watching Qi Jiang leave, Su Qing carefully set up the table in the work shed, and then looked for a place to put the wood and build the house. After finishing this work, he went to look at Qi Jiang's design drawings, hesitated for a moment and simply changed it by himself.

On the other side, Liu Xingjie could already feel that he was very close to Qi Jiang and the others. Although he didn't dare to investigate rashly, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

But before he got under the big tree, he met Qi Jiang who was walking from a distance holding a black umbrella.

"Mr. Qi!" Liu Xingjie's eyes lit up, and he ran over quickly, ignoring Su Qing's presence, and asked directly, "Mr. Qi, I heard that you have insect repellent powder? May I ask if it is useful for new parasites?" ?"

Qi Jiang could see through Liu Xingjie at a glance, and shook his head helplessly: "I don't know what your boss is thinking."

To actually send such a young man to approach them is not a material that can be used to negotiate business.

The expression on Liu Xingjie's face froze, and doubts appeared in his eyes: "Mr. Qi?"

"It's okay." Qi Jiang didn't answer his doubts, "Let's go, take me to your boss, I have to rush back to build the house, there is not much time."

Probably because he realized that he was underestimated, Liu Xingjie restrained the expression on his face, and said solemnly: "Mr. Qi, just talk to me about the deworming medicine, I can make the decision."

After negotiating the price, don't you have to go back and get your boss's approval to finalize the deal?

Qi Jiang was clear in his heart, and walked out of the jungle holding an umbrella without saying a word.

No matter what Liu Xingjie was thinking in his heart, he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, and followed Qi Jiang away without saying a word.

In the depths of the jungle, the group of monkeys, crocodiles, and wild boars with long tusks who had been watching Qi and Su breathed a sigh of relief after Qi Jiang left, but they still didn't dare to make any noise, because there was still a big guy in the jungle who hadn't left. Woolen cloth.

creak ~ creak ~ creak ~

In the evening, the heavy rain stopped suddenly, and the sunlight reflected beautiful rainbows on the dense tree canopy.

At this time, the jungle is like a fairyland, the fly in the ointment is that some sounds are too harsh, destroying the beauty.

There were bursts of sawing sounds in the quiet jungle. The sharp and unsustainable rhythm sounded very dissonant. Obviously, the sawing person was a novice.

In the work shed, Su Qing frowned tightly and stepped on a piece of wood as thick as a hot water pot with one foot, holding a saw in both hands and cutting back and forth at the marked place very unfamiliarly.

Qi Jiang also often does carpentry, such as home furniture, decorations and so on. Days become proficient.

Su Qing also often helped him. When he was a child, he saw many people making chairs and stools by themselves in the village. Seeing that it was easy for others to do it, he thought it was difficult at the beginning, but he would be able to get started after a few tries at most. .

But he didn't expect that it would be so difficult to saw a piece of wood.

He didn't have anything else to do after he finished drawing the picture, thinking that Qi Jiang hadn't come back yet, so he didn't want to waste time, so he simply started to do some preliminary work first, and wanted to saw a few house pillars first, but he didn't expect to saw a few pillars. It took two hours without a good start.

The wood under my feet is full of saw marks, the deepest one is only a few centimeters deep, and there are countless scratches that have not been sawed in. The criss-cross marks look like drawing on bark as a drawing paper, but some lines are more Thick, some lines are thinner, some lines look darker, some are lighter.

This is the result of Su Qing's hard work for two hours.

The wood is wood from the new world, and the saw is also a magical tool made by Qi Jiang. Usually, it is fine when Qi Jiang uses it, but it looks like it is rusted in Su Qing's hands.

Not long after, there was a sound of wood rolling down in the work shed, and the creaking sound of sawing wood stopped. Su Qing sighed in frustration, moved the wood to the stool as usual, put his hand on the saw handle and wanted to continue pulling.

A few seconds later, the saw didn't move at all, and Su Qing groaned a little irritably, "Why is it stuck again?"

He stepped on the wood hard, shook his hands up and down vigorously to pull the saw out, and then put the saw in the crack to continue pulling, but as he expected, he couldn't pull it again this time.

"Why can't I pull the saw every time I take it out?" Su Qing groaned again, gritting his teeth, pulled the saw out and put it back in. He changed the position of the saw teeth several times back and forth, but he still couldn't continue.

"Brother Jiang is not like this usually." Su Qing frowned even deeper, seeing that he had finally sawed a seam seven or eight centimeters deep, and reluctantly changed to a new position, "Why do we have to do it all over again. "

The sharp and dull sound of sawing wood came out again in the jungle, and the sound of wood rolling down came again after ten minutes.

Not long after, a cold voice sounded, the tone was full of irritability and helplessness: "Oh, why can't I move again!"

The monkeys under the rock were eating dinner at home like thieves. When they heard the sound, they subconsciously froze in place, and their eating movements were even smaller. They only dared to scrape the fruit in their hands quietly with their front teeth, for fear of making any noise. That one is unhappy.

All the crocodiles that were rolling and tearing at their prey in the river valley all stopped, dragging their prey to the bottom of the water to avoid being angered.

The tusk wild boar family rolling in the quagmire in the distance lay silently in the quagmire, even the ups and downs on their stomachs were much smaller, and they looked motionless as if they were dead.

When the sound of sawing wood sounded again, they carefully continued to do what they had just done as if they had pressed a switch, and when the sound stopped, they stopped as if they were afraid of attracting attention, and the cycle started again and again.

It was dark, and Qi Jiang returned to the forest with a smile. Not long after entering the forest, he heard the sound of sawing wood.

"Why do you still do it yourself?" Qi Jiang smiled and shook his head, knowing that Su Qing wanted to share the work for him, he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.

Not long after this warm current appeared, he heard Susu's rarely irritable voice: "Oh, I'm so annoying!"

"Ok?"

Qi Jiang thought something was wrong with Su Qing, so he quickly spread his wings and flew back, and returned to the work shed in a few seconds.

In the shed, Su Qing was gritting his teeth and pulling out the saw, as if he had already guessed the result, this time he didn't even try, and simply started from scratch.

The wood under his feet had been sawed countless times, and there were all kinds of marks, which looked extremely miserable.

"Susu, what's the matter?" Qi Jiang walked in with some confusion.

It's okay if he doesn't come back, Su Qing herself is not reconciled, she has to saw a piece of wood, as soon as he comes back, Su Qing feels wronged, throws the saw in her hand out angrily, and kicks the wood under her feet. wood.

The saw fell into the corner, and the scarred wood rolled to the ground. Qi Jiang, who rarely saw Su Qing in such a temper, was startled and coaxed softly: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, are you hungry? Shall I make you polenta?"

"I can't eat it."

Qi Jiang took the man to the stool and sat down, knelt down on one knee and blew Su Qing's red hand distressedly, and asked tentatively, "Who came here to make you angry?"

"No."

"Is that the group of monkeys or the group of crocodiles? Or the group of bulldozers?" Qi Jiang continued to guess.

"No, don't ask." Su Qing was so annoyed to death, and felt that it was too embarrassing to tell Qi Jiang, so she simply turned her body to the other side.

Qi Jiang followed him around, knelt down in front of him and carefully wiped all the sawdust off his hands with a handkerchief, and said anxiously, "I'm just going out for a while and you're so angry, how can I not ask?"

Su Qing turned her head to the other side and continued to sulk, the sweat on her forehead slid down her cheeks.

Qi Jiang felt distressed and didn't know what happened. Seeing that his hands were wiped clean, he took out a new handkerchief to help him wipe his sweat, and persuaded him softly: "Can you tell me?" ? Look at your hands, they are so red, they would be blistered if it wasn’t for your recovery ability, you don’t feel sorry for me, but I still feel sorry for you.”

Su Qing opened her mouth and looked at him as if shaken, but in the end she just sighed slightly and remained silent.

Qi Jiang sighed: "Susu, it's really not worth it for you to vent your anger on the wood, which is hurtful and sad. You just say it, and I will vent your anger on you."

Su Qing turned her head around, looked at Qi Jiang angrily and aggrieved, and said seriously, "I didn't vent my anger with wood."

Qi Jiang silently glanced at the extremely miserable wood on the ground, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, let's not be angry with the wood."

"Who said I..." Su Qing hesitated to speak, and finally sighed again. Feeling that it's not a big deal to make such a fuss, she stretched out her hand to Qi Jiang, "Hug me."

Qi Jiang felt even more distressed. He stood up and gently hugged Su Qing into his arms. He spread his wings to cover him completely. After a while, he felt that Su Qing was not so angry, so he asked in a low voice: "Susu, can you talk to me now?" Did you say it?"

"I..." Su Qing hugged Qi Jiang even tighter, breathed in his breath and felt relieved, and within a few seconds he cursed angrily, "It's not that dead wood!"

Qi Jiang:? ? ?Didn't you say you are not angry with wood?

He blinked in confusion, but his tone was doting and reliable: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, it's just a piece of wood, let's just throw it away."

"Can't throw!"

"... Then shall we cut it?" Qi Jiang asked cautiously.

"It can't be cut." Su Qing snorted coldly, pushed Qi Jiang away, and looked at the log in the corner angrily, "Go and saw it, let me see."

"Okay, I'll go and saw that dead wood." Qi Jiang bowed his head and kissed Su Qing on the cheek, coaxing softly, "Let's saw him into ten and eight sections, and finally grind it into powder, okay? ?”

Su Qing glanced at Qi Jiang again with aggrieved look, Qi Jiang was very puzzled.

"What, what's wrong?"

"No, you, you just find a seam and saw it." Su Qing lowered his brows, and his tone was three points irritated, three points annoyed and four points unwilling.

Qi Jiang still doesn't know why he is angry, but now is not the time to pursue this, the most urgent thing is to make his family Susu happy first.

He went to pick up the saw in the corner, put the wood on the stool, thought about finding a place where Su Qing was most angry, carefully selected the deepest seam and put the saw in, raised his head and asked Su Qing's whereabouts. Opinion: "Susu, how about this one?"

"Ah, well, just this one." Su Qing looked nervously, "You pull the saw."

Qi Jiang tentatively pulled it, and pulled it very smoothly. Su Qing frowned, stood up abruptly, walked to Qi Jiang's side and stared closely: "Continue."

Qi Jiang felt a little strange: "Would you like to sit down first? I'll let you out, don't come here, the sawdust is a bit dirty."

Seeing that Su Qing didn't move, he stopped persuading him, and pulled it a few more times obediently, there was no problem. Seeing Su Qing's frown deepened, his lips pursed as if he was about to get angry again, he was even more puzzled.

What's going on here?

He is familiar with sawing wood, and his movements are extremely smooth, without any feeling of stuttering, but Su Qing gets angrier the more he looks at it.

It didn't take long for this piece of wood to be sawed off by Qi Jiang, and the sound of the wood falling to the ground was heard. Su Qing took a deep breath, took the saw in his hand and put it on a seam next to him, pulled it for a while and then looked at Qi Jiang :"You come!"

Qi Jiang glanced at him cautiously, pulled it, pulled it.

Su Qing was so angry that he felt that the wood and the saw were meant to anger him, so he pressed Qi Jiang's hand angrily: "Okay, don't saw, put the wood away."

Qi Jiang vaguely knew why he was angry, the worry in his eyes was replaced by a smile, and obediently put the wood into the Qiankun bag.

"And this saw." Su Qing pointed at the saw in Qi Jiang's hand with a straight face, "Put it away too."

He didn't want to see these two bad things at all.

Qi Jiang smiled and put away the saw, put his fist under his nose and coughed lightly: "Okay, let's go to eat, shall we?"

Su Qing felt that his expression was not quite right: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, it's really painful to laugh at my family's cuteness." Qi Jiang held back his smile, pulled Su Qing into his arms and kissed him, "Okay, let's go eat."

Su Qing glared at him angrily, and muttered softly, "It's so cute when you're angry."

"Okay, not cute." Qi Jiang coaxed kindly, took out the small table where they ate, looked at Su Qing, "Let's eat."

Su Qing took out the food and took a few mouthfuls of it sullenly. The food in his mouth was like his enemy, chewing hard for several minutes before swallowing it down.

Qi Jiang pursed his lips and smiled, took out a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of rice and put it on Su Qing's mouth, with a doting tone: "Come on, I'll feed you."

Su Qing raised his eyes and stared at Qi Jiang for a few seconds, seeing the growing pampering in his eyes, the anger in his heart gradually dissipated, and he ate his meal with a smile.

After eating, Su Qing's anger disappeared, and she rested her head on Qi Jiang's shoulder to watch him eat seriously.

After a while, Qi Jiang turned his head and pressed his lips on Su Qing's face: "Why do you keep looking at me?"

Su Qing shook her head lightly, stretched out her hand to grab Qi Jiang's arm, and rubbed her face on Qi Jiang's shoulder.

His coquettish appearance made Qi Jiang's heart soften in a mess: "What's wrong?"

Su Qing glanced at him again, this time Qi Jiang didn't look away: "Huh?"

"No, it's just..." Su Qing took a breath, then sighed slightly, "That's right, you always let me make trouble, and I will become more and more unreasonable in the future."

"You are making trouble for no reason." Qi Jiang laughed, "Isn't it just acting like a baby? I like you like this, and you can go too far."

Su Qing raised her lips and smiled: "If I go too far, you may get tired of it, and you will never coax me again."

"No way." Qi Jiang sighed helplessly, "How can I get tired of the person I finally chased after."

The curvature of the corner of Su Qing's mouth widened, and he let go of his arm: "Hurry up and eat, don't be hungry."

After dinner, Qi Jiang glanced at the blueprints on the workbench, then at Su Qing who was still tired of him, and smiled silently with his lips curled up.

Tonight's moon is very round, and the moonlight falls on the ground along the gaps between the leaves, adding some embellishments to the dark jungle.

It was very late, Qi Jiang held Su Qing's waist: "Shall we go back to the base or live here?"

"I don't want to go back to the base, it's too noisy."

A while ago, he felt that it was too quiet to meet living people and wanted to live in the crowd, but after living for two days, he disliked the noise of the crowd.

This is all caused by territorial consciousness.

"The ground is too wet. Sleeping here is not good for your health. I'll make a hammock and sleep on a tree." Qi Jiang patted Su Qing's waist, "Go take a shower first, and I'll fix it after you take a shower."

"It's going to rain tomorrow. The hammock is not safe. Put a tent in the work shed." Su Qing reluctantly got up from Qi Jiang, grabbed his clothes and looked at him quietly.

"The hammock is not difficult, it can be made in no time..."

"I want to sleep right now."

The words were interrupted, Qi Jiang looked at Su Qing with urging eyes, and coughed lightly: "Is this okay?"

Su Qing snorted softly, let go of the corner of her clothes, and took out the tent. They had used this tent before, and there was no need to build it again. Even the bedding was ready-made.

It's just sleeping on the ground for one night. Of course, there is nothing wrong with it. If you are really afraid that the moisture on the ground will affect your body, you will be able to sweat.
