After the fog, I became a birdman

Chapter 141 The 2nd Year Rainy Season

It may be that God couldn't stand it in the end. When everyone was so smoked that they were crying and howling, a dark cloud brought a heavy rain to the Hope Base, which also made the smell in the air much lighter.

"It's raining again." Su Qing listened to the sound of rain outside, "Shall we go out tomorrow?"

"Well, I'll go to the territory to clean up the ground first." Qi Jiang recalled the map he saw before, took out a pen and paper and copied the map near the territory, "We seem to have been here before."

"Well, I passed by when I was looking for a place to observe the base." Su Qing nodded, leaned over to watch with Qi Jiang, and stretched out his finger to the jungle behind the territory, "There is no shelter around the territory, let's live in the back."

"There is a jungle behind, how do we live?" Qi Jiang suddenly remembered something, "Did we see a lot of insect eggs when we passed by the river?"

Before Xiaolong carried them along the river for a certain distance, Su Qing wanted to wash his hands at that time, but when he saw the eggs, he gave up.

"Well, what happened?"

"Is it the dark soil red worm?" Qi Jiang regretted not going to the river to have a look.

"No." Su Qing shook his head, "It's different from the eggs of dark soil red worms, and didn't dark soil red worms go to the seaside to lay eggs before? They also need to hatch at the seaside."

Speaking of this, his expression was a little subtle: "Are we really going to live by the sea?"

Qi Jiang raised his hand and brushed the broken hair from Su Qing's ears behind his ears: "Now you don't want to live by the sea again?"

"A bunch of bugs would be so disgusting." Su Qing's expression was disgusted, and he calmed down a little after speaking, leaning on Qi Jiang's body slightly, "However, the mosquitoes in the rainy season should not be able to escape anywhere. , let’s live by the sea, I’m in a better mood than inland.”

"No matter how you think about it, it's just a way out." Qi Jiang's smile deepened, his black eyes became very gentle, and he put his arms around Su Qing's waist to prevent him from falling, "Like a child."

"I'm like this in front of you." Su Qing muttered softly.

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have said it to you." Qi Jiang coaxed people with a smile, and put his other hand in front of Su Qing, "Why don't you hit me to vent your anger?"

Su Qing rolled her eyes indecently, sat up straight, and said, "I'm not domestic violence."

Qi Jiang held back his laughter, imitating Su Qing's action just now, and leaned on him like a boneless: "Then thank you wife for being magnanimous and not caring about me? Hiss~ it hurts..."

"Whose wife are you calling?" Su Qing smiled half-smile, and continued to twist her hands vigorously, "Say it again?"

"I'm your wife, I'm your wife." Qi Jiang grinned and put his hand on Su Qing's, "Husband, let go first, it hurts."

"Humph!"

Su Qing glared at him before letting go of his hand. Qi Jiang frowned and touched his soft flesh on the side of his waist that had been numb from being squeezed. Seeing Su Qing's expressionless face, he smiled flatteringly: "I was wrong. ,husband."

"You deserve it." Su Qing hummed again.

Qi Jiang swallowed his saliva, and carefully opened the clothes to sell them badly, but his own resilience was too strong, when he opened them, his skin was only slightly red, and in the blink of an eye, his skin color became the same as the one next to him.

The two have a close relationship, and Su Qing knew what he wanted to do when he saw his actions, and couldn't help but sneer: "Oh, next time I will make a cut with a knife? Otherwise, I will recover too quickly."

"Don't be angry." Qi Jiang bit the bullet and fell on Su Qing again, pinching his throat and acting like a spoiled child, "I made the wrong husband."

Su Qing's body trembled, goosebumps came up, and he pushed Qi Jiang away: "You are so nasty, shut up."

Qi Jiang was also numb by himself, rubbing the goose bumps on his arms: "Hiss, it's really disgusting."

Su Qing, who had always been cold-faced, looked at him disgusted by herself, smiled slightly, and finally said with a hint of a smile: "You deserve it."

Seeing the person finally smiled, Qi Jiangsong took a breath, hugged Su Qing and let him fall on him, waved his hand to create a gust of wind and opened the curtain a little, and looked at the rain scene outside with Su Qing: "How about we build a tree house?" ? It will definitely be nice to watch the rain at home in the future.”

"Tree house?" Su Qing's eyes brightened slightly, but he quickly suppressed his smile, "What about winter? And what if the thunderstorm is struck..."

"I'll try to get a lightning rod device." Qi Jiang touched his chin, "You can also get a boiler for the tree house, just find a big tree that can bear the load and design it. You don't have to worry about heating in winter."

"Can this work?"

"I believe you are old..."

"Huh?" Su Qing raised his eyebrows, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and his tone was full of threats, "What's the matter?"

"Wife."

Su Qing snorted in satisfaction, but didn't realize that Qi Jiang wasn't answering him, but just calling him his wife.

The two watched the rain scene for a while, and when they were almost tired of watching, they drew the curtains and ate, and went to tidy up the room after eating, and soon fell asleep.

Click!

A flash of lightning flashed across the night sky, and some small white bugs appeared in many places with stagnant water in the jungle. A group of bees flew from nowhere, lying on the water surface to hunt and kill the bugs.

In addition, many birds and insect-eating monsters also came to the water's edge to eat small bugs, and many monsters in the jungle rushed to this feast happily.

But the hunters caused only a small part of the loss of the bug population, and many bugs left the water and slowly searched for their prey on land.

buzz~

Mosquitoes like black clouds flew out of some lakes suddenly, and the mosquitoes hovered over the lakes covering the sky and the sun. These are all adults. After they left the lakes, they scattered in the jungle. The quiet jungle soon sounded annoying buzzing. , almost nowhere is spared.

Due to the complex terrain of the jungle, the success rate of hunting is reduced, so many hunting groups now have to wait until they have hunted their prey or have eaten their food before returning. It is relatively common to spend the night in the jungle.

It's just that there was no mosquito harassment before, and staying overnight was a matter of taking turns to guard, but now it has suffered.

There was a slap in the dark night, and someone grinned and slapped his leg. The palm and calf were dyed red, and a strong bloody smell came out.

The man felt something was wrong, took the lantern in and took a look, and immediately cursed: "Cao! Why is this mosquito so big!"

As soon as the words fell, there was another slap on the other side, and a similar complaint.

Their voices woke up the teammates in the animal skin tent, and everyone sat up together. Just as they took out their weapons, they heard that there were only mosquitoes.

They lay down again to sleep, not paying much attention to the matter.

After a while, a mosquito flew in from the gap in the tent, and randomly picked a person's hand to suck blood. Although the sleeping person woke up a little when he heard the buzzing sound, he thought it was just a mosquito, so he obeyed his drowsiness and continued to sleep, uncharacteristically. He relaxed his vigilance and fell into a deep sleep.

Buzz!

The blood-sucked mosquitoes flew up happily and staggered away from the gap. Not long after, another group of mosquitoes sneaked into the tent.

Mosquitoes not only appear in the jungle, but also in the Hope Base.

Because Qi Jiang and the others are used to shutting the doors and windows tightly when sleeping, the mosquitoes did not enter the house. The two of them woke up halfway because of the buzzing of mosquitoes, but they went back to sleep when they heard the neighbors say it was only mosquitoes.

Not long after falling asleep, another scream came from the base: "Help!"

brush!

People who heard the sound in their sleep opened their eyes immediately. Many people took out their weapons and rushed to the source of the sound without thinking, shouting while running to determine the specific location of the other party.

Su Qing and the others also woke up, and the two could hear what happened from the noisy voices. Hearing the man's yelling, he must have been bitten by a mosquito, and it sounded like something was wrong with the mosquito.

Qi Jiang opened the window and created a gust of wind to catch the large mosquitoes that flashed by in the distance. The mosquitoes were trapped in the wind and bumped around like headless flies, with a blood-red blood sac hanging on their fist-sized body.

"Yeah, there's another bug plague." Su Qing exhaled, "I'm going to be busy making mosquito repellent again."

"I'll do it." Qi Jiang killed the mosquito with the wind, frowned at the scene of blood splashing in the wind, sighed and closed the window again.

It's just a few mosquitoes, although it's a bit difficult, but I hope the base can definitely solve it, so Qi Su and the two are not worried, and soon went back to sleep.

As they thought, although these mosquitoes are big, blood-sucking powerful, and have a certain degree of paralysis, but their strength is too weak, even if they add up to a large number, they will be wiped out quickly.

The commotion caused by the mosquitoes soon subsided, the security of the base was strengthened, and the people who ran out to help went back to their homes and closed the doors and windows to sleep.

Early the next morning, the rain still didn't stop, and it was even heavier than last night.

Because of the mosquitoes, people in the jungle came back one after another regardless of whether they had caught prey or not. Although most of them were mentally depressed, their overall condition was still very good. They just came back because they felt that the mosquitoes were too annoying, but there were still a small number of people. He looked miserable, with many bulges on his body, his face was pale, and he was so weak that he couldn't even walk, and he had to be carried back by his teammates.

There were even people who left this world in their sleep, their blood was sucked dry, and their skinny appearance was very pervasive.

There are too many mosquitoes in the jungle, and they like to swarm in groups. There are even mosquitoes who will send out reports. In order to reduce losses, I hope the base will issue a notice soon to make people who go hunting think twice.

Qi Jiang brought out a dish from the kitchen and put it on the table, looked up at Su Qing who was propping his chin by the window: "Susu, it's time to eat."

"Yeah!" Su Qing closed the curtains, turned and went to the kitchen to wash his hands, "Brother Jiang, we have to stay for a while, we have to get out the mosquito repellent."

"What? What happened?" Qi Jiang pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside, and frowned slightly, "Are the mosquitoes hatched from the eggs you saw before?"

"I don't know." Su Qing didn't know about this matter, but he had to guard against it, "Then you should study the insect repellent again, just in case."

"Then let's go to the woods today to see what can be used."

"Well, let's eat first."

After eating, the turmoil outside has subsided, and the others have resumed their usual rhythm of life.

As soon as Qi Jiang and Su Qing left the base, Liu Xingjie came over to look for them. He was not disappointed when he ran away, and turned around to do his own business.

In the jungle, Qi Jiang and Su Qing wandered slowly holding umbrellas, because they were afraid of getting their shoes dirty, so they didn't walk, but used the power of the wind to float themselves.

They are selecting a big tree for a tree house.

"Brother Jiang, how about this one?" Su Qing suddenly took a fancy to a tall and strong tree, and pointed to the slippery bark, "This one looks cleaner."

The big trees in the jungle are very tall, and there are many trees with a height of 200 meters. The tree Su Qing chose is more than 200 meters high, but Qi Jiang thinks it is still too short.

"Choose a taller one, so that the field of view is better."

The two continued to pick a big tree for their tree house. It took about a whole morning before they found a big tree that stood out from the crowd nearby. After confirming the location of the tree house, the two went to do other things.

In addition to mosquitoes, there are many small insects in the jungle. Because he was not sure whether the insect eggs he saw earlier had hatched, Su Qing slowly searched for similar-looking insect eggs in the jungle, and Qi Jiang observed the surroundings. Plants select the raw materials for making powders.

Not long after, Su Qing found some tiny hatched eggs in a puddle, which looked similar to the eggs he had seen before.

After a while, they found a lake full of black mosquito swarms. The two went to the lake to observe after taking precautions, and determined the origin of the mosquitoes and small white bugs.

Mosquitoes hatched long ago, and the black clouds over the lake are swarms of larvae growing out of the water, while the small white bugs are just hatching.

For the experiment, the two caught some of each kind of insects, and found that other small insects were not let go, and collected them all to be used as experimental products.

They continued to search for medicinal materials in the jungle, and slowly found some places where mosquitoes would not go. After several comparisons, they found a grass that could repel insects. Everything went very smoothly.

"The medicine powder will be ready in about two days." Qi Jiang had confidence in his heart, "After I finish the tree house, let's go find the territory."

Su Qing couldn't be of much help in researching medicine powder and making tree houses, so he found something for himself: "Then you go back first, I'll take a look around this jungle and see if there's anything useful .”

"Why do you suddenly want to go to the jungle?" Qi Jiang was puzzled, "Didn't you mean to gain popularity among the crowd?"

"It didn't come suddenly, I just felt that I had nothing to do. Don't we have a map? I can draw this map when I go shopping." Su Qing shrugged helplessly, "Besides, the crowd is a bit noisy. Every day at the base Just stay here for a while."

Qi Jiang pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay then, you remember to be careful, I won't go with you."

It takes time to study the medicine powder, and they will have to find spiritual objects to awaken Su Qing five times later, so they can't waste time just because they want to stick together.

Even though he thought so, when Qi Jiang went back, he turned his head three times at every step. The reluctance made Su Qing, who was reluctant to part with him, couldn't help laughing. With such a smile, the reluctance in his heart faded a lot.

The two split up. Su Qing spread his wings and fanned his way through the jungle to search. Thanks to the tree of good fortune, his efficiency was very fast. It didn't take long to find a series of useful spiritual herbs such as the snake-repelling grass and the hemostatic grass.

He slowly moved away from the hope base, and when he was looking for the medicine, he passed a white grass field. Su Qing felt a very strong vitality, and carefully dug up a elixir plant and put it away.

He originally wanted to collect samples, but when the elixir was dug out, he was about to leave. When he was drawing a map, the Creation Tree in his body suddenly shook slightly.

"Huh?" Su Qing stopped what he was doing and communicated with the Creation Tree, "What happened to the white grass?"

After a while, he put away the map, flew a little higher in doubt, circled the grass a few times, landed in the center of the grass according to the instructions of the Creation Tree, took out a magic shovel and touched the ground :"is it here?"

After getting the reply, he dug up all the surrounding spirit grass, dug a small hole in the ground with a shovel, cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood into it.

Susu!

A slight sound came from the ground, Su Qing remained motionless, staring at the place where the blood dripped.

Suddenly, the clod that was stained a little red by his drop of blood seemed to move, and the surrounding soil changed slightly, and the clod sank into it little by little.

Su Qing knew that the things in the ground were probing, so he twirled his fingertips, waited for a few seconds, and when he saw the clods began to sink into the soil at an accelerated speed, he immediately stretched out his hand and injected a burst of spiritual power into it.

Squeak!

A white mouse was trapped in an ice cage. Su Qing didn't know if it had any other hole cards, and added several spiritual powers to it before taking out a shovel to dig it out.

The white mouse came to the ground and looked up at Su Qing tearfully: "Squeak!"

"And then?" Su Qing ignored it, but continued to communicate with the Creation Tree. After getting the answer, he raised his lips and nodded the ice cage, "Give me the things and let you go."

There was a cunning flash in the white mouse's eyes, and the tears in his eyes were dripping down, looking very pitiful.

Su Qing didn't soften his heart, and counted down to three: "Three, two..."

pat!

A diamond-shaped crystal the size of a fingernail was spat out by a white mouse. Su Qing glanced at it, and the mild eyes just now turned cold and piercing: "Do you want to die?"

The white mouse paused, and squeaked nervously. Tears were held back by Su Qing's indifference, and they couldn't fall down no matter what.

Su Qing didn't waste time with it this time, the cold air released from the ice cage, the thickness increased rapidly, and the white mouse was about to be frozen in it.

pat!

A circular scale with a width of only one centimeter was spat out by it. Su Qing held the scale in his hand with satisfaction, and found that there was a very old character written on it, which he couldn't recognize.

The Creation Tree said that this white mouse hides a key, through which he can find the healing "suit" magic weapon he wants, but the key needs to be activated conditionally.

What is the specific condition, the Tree of Fortune only gave a hint: Enlightenment by yourself.

Meaning, I'm here to help you.

The white mouse in the ice cage squeaked pitifully twice, Su Qing lowered his head, pulled a white and yellowed wooden heart out from the space, untied the ice cage and placed the wooden heart in front of the white mouse.

"Here, this is also a healing treasure. Originally, I wanted to keep it for myself. Since I took yours, I will exchange it with you."

Su Qing, who was in a good mood, had a very gentle tone, but the white mouse took a few steps back, his eyes read hesitant to speak.

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you." Su Qing clapped his hands to wipe off the dust on his hands, put away the shovel and stood up, saying goodbye to the white mouse in a good mood, "Little mouse, goodbye."

The white mouse squeaked aggrievedly: I am a hamster not a mouse...

Naturally, Su Qing couldn't understand what it said, and didn't pay much attention to its barking, and soon flew away.

After a while, the white hamster carefully stuffed Mu Xin into his mouth, muttered and burrowed back into the ground, not forgetting to take away the blood-stained clod.

Probably because today's luck ran out. Su Qing, who robbed the little hamster, couldn't find any useful plants. Seeing that the rain stopped and the sun began to set, he simply stopped looking.

On the way back, he missed Qi Jiang a little, took out the Communication Jade Talisman and told about his delivery today, and he emphasized twice about the scale key.

Qi Jiang, who was dealing with Liu Xingjie in the room, felt the communication jade talisman vibrate, and immediately began to chase away customers: "I'm going to pick up Susu, what space bag are you talking about, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Liu Xingjie found the communication jade talisman in his hand, and intuitively told him that it was a communicator: "Mr. Qi, what do you do with this thing?"

"For communication, the range is [-] kilometers." Qi Jiang walked out of the room, turned around and urged, "I'm going to close the door."

Liu Xingjie came out quickly, and just about to say something, Qi Jiang slammed the door and flew out of the base in a hurry.

"Hey! In the base..." Can't fly.

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Jiang disappeared from sight, and the other people who were patrolling the sky didn't even notice that someone flew past them.

Liu Xingjie sighed slightly, realizing that Qi Jiang was getting impatient, this was a warning.

I hope that the defense of the base is useless to him. If Liu Xingjie keeps pestering him like this, he might turn his face.

In fact, Liu Xingjie didn't want to be so entangled, but the scene of Su Qing taking something out of the space bag yesterday was too tempting. His boss ordered him to die after knowing it. He must know where the space bag came from and whether it can be sold as soon as possible. .

He is not good at talking about business, so he can only make up for it with a smiley face, but he didn't expect to make Qi Jiang impatient.

Thinking of this, Liu Xingjie turned to discuss with his boss, planning to do business with Qi and Su in other ways, or talk to other people.

On the other side, Qi Jiang had already heard what Su Qing said in the communication jade talisman in the air, and quickly found his location.

Su Qing was in the territory they rented, squatting on the ground alone and putting all the spirit grass and spirit flowers he found in the jungle into a box, because he was afraid that putting them in the space would kill these spirit medicines, so he walked all the way. I have to carry it, and my clothes are dirty.

Qi Jiang landed beside him: "Why did you find so many?"

"Why are you here?" Su Qing raised her head, with a smile on her face immediately, "I'm almost done, and I want to go back to find you."

"I miss you." Qi Jiang knelt down and kissed Su Qing, "What about you? Miss me?"

"Yeah." Su Qing pursed her lips and smiled.

"I'm an old man, why are you still so shy." Qi Jiang was seduced by the shyness in his eyes and kissed the corner of his mouth again. After being stared at by Su Qing, he smiled and let him go, with a very helpless tone, "Okay Now, let’s not talk about you, I will help you.”

With Qi Jiang's help, Su Qing was free to mark the wooden box with a pen.

About ten minutes later, they each carried a few wooden boxes and floated towards the Hope Base. On the way, Su Qing also told Qi Jiang about the general terrain and some special places nearby.

"Do you suspect that there are spirits in these places?"

"Yeah." Su Qing nodded, "Shall we pick a time to take a look?"

After the great earthquake in December, the spiritual objects have been hidden one after another. It is much harder to find than before, but they have a lot of experience in spiritual objects, so the location of the spiritual objects is generally hidden from them.

However, under the current situation, it is not easy to get the spiritual object, and it still takes a little time.

"Let's talk about it when we are free." Qi Jiang is not very interested in this now, "The most urgent thing is to let you awaken again."

"I feel it's coming soon." Su Qing had a premonition.

Last time he said that according to their requirements for the "suit", he didn't know when he would be able to awaken five times, but now he said it soon. It seems that the opportunity came from the scale key he just got.

Qi Jiang was sincerely happy for Su Qing: "When you wake up, we will be able to go anywhere, and maybe your health will also improve."

"I'm in good health now." Su Qing retorted dissatisfiedly, "I haven't been sick for a long time."

"It's still too weak, on the bed..."

"What did you say?" Su Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, and put her hands on Qi Jiang's waist, "Come on, continue talking."

Qi Jiang swallowed his saliva, and glanced at random with guilt, and found a familiar figure flashing past in the crowd below.

"Is that Brother Chen?"
