Chapter 44 Qin Sang
The Jiang and Xin families lived on the mountain. In addition, four families nearby were slaughtered by the quack beasts at the beginning of the apocalypse, so there were not many families who needed to be notified at this time. Only three families living downhill were left.
Jiang Rong and her friends first called out Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao. The group between 18 and 55 was proposed by Jiang Rong herself, as she didn't want to contradict herself.
Then because she was worried, she left the little snake at home and told it to protect the other people in the family.
At this time, several elders and children were in a room, the younger ones were playing together, and the older ones were chatting quietly.
After that, Jiang Rong and Xin Jue formed a team, Cai Er and Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao formed a team, and Chen Ru and Li Tao formed a team. Each team was responsible for one household.
About half an hour later.
The young and middle-aged people from the other three families also followed Jiang Rong and the others out one after another.
The persuasion process was not difficult. These people were reasonable and did not become unreasonable or refuse to go out.
However, according to the previous discussion among everyone, they will not let these people work for nothing. Those who are willing to come out to help will receive material subsidies. Although it is not much, maybe just a bottle of water and a pack of instant noodles, it is better than working for nothing.
These things may not seem like much now, but they may be life-saving things in the future.
These three families have a total of 5 women of different ages, 2 college students in their early twenties, and 7 young and middle-aged men, a total of 14 people. If Jiang Rong and his family are included, there are 21 young and middle-aged laborers.
There were 21 of them. Those without special powers stood inside the crowd, while those with special powers stood on the outside for protection. Then they each took snow shovels in their hands and went to the door of Jiang's house.
If you want to shovel the snow, you must shovel it from beginning to end.
The area they are responsible for is from Jiang Rong's house to the downhill section, which is about one or two hundred meters.
When they arrived outside the wall of Jiang Rong's house, everyone began to shovel snow with their tools in silence.
The snow was knee-deep at this time, so their workload was still very heavy. They shoveled from morning till night, but only shoveled half of the way, and killed more than a dozen giant snow rabbits that came by the smell.
The six psychics working together are more than enough to deal with these guys.
The fourteen snow rabbits were to be divided equally among those present, but it was difficult to distribute them on the spot, so I counted the households, and no one took two home, planning to weigh them and divide them up when I have time.
Besides, I guess I’ll have to talk about the rest of the journey tomorrow.
Jiang Rong and his team finished work before dark and went home. Everyone was tired after a day of work and no one had time to cook, so they just heated up some frozen steamed buns and dumplings for dinner.
There were also two pots of egg custard.
This time everyone gets a portion, which replenishes nutrition and warms the body at the same time.
Jiang Rong had been shoveling snow outside all day. The cold was ok, but she was tired. So after washing up at night, she didn't stay in her grandmother's room for long. She returned to her room at around 8 o'clock with a hot water bottle half filled with hot water. Then she quickly opened it and got into bed. She fell asleep soon after.
Normally at this time the little snake would have been happily absorbing energy in the space, but today Jiang Rong forgot about it.
Now it can only crawl into its owner's warm bed out of boredom and lie there peacefully.
In his mind, he calculated how long it would take for his good friend Qin Sang to wake up again, and when he could use his tall and mighty body again.
At night, it was quiet and silent, with only the sound of Jiang Rong's shallow breathing in the room.
In the darkness, the short snake that was lying peacefully with its eyes closed beside Jiang Rong suddenly shook its body, and its pair of small eyes suddenly opened wide, emitting a gleam of joy in its eyes. Then its body began to twist and change shape involuntarily.
After a while, Qin Sang opened his eyes in the dark and closed room. He felt the warm and comfortable quilt under him, and was a little unaccustomed to the warm feeling. Then he pulled back the quilt and got out of bed slowly.
He stood beside the bed and silently looked at the person sleeping defenselessly on the bed. After looking for a long time, he sighed slightly. In the end, he couldn't resist the idea in his mind, and with a resigned expression, he walked forward to help press down the quilt that had slipped down a little.
After Qin Sang pressed the quilt, he finally felt better. Otherwise, the uneven quilt would always attract his attention and make him feel a little irritated.
Short Snake: [Qin Sang~ I think this human is pretty good. Although he looks a bit cold and fierce at times, he actually has a warm heart. He is a pretty good person.]
Qin Sang: [Yes.]
Little Short Snake: [Qin Sang~ How long will it take for you to fully recover? I miss my own majestic and tall body.]
Qin Sang: [……]
Qin Sang: [My body, if you are strong enough, can actually be majestic and tall.]
Little Short Snake: [Ah, isn’t that a golden nest or a silver nest not as good as Lun’s? It’s a doghouse~ Tell me quickly, how long will it take? ]
Qin Sang: [Not sure, only one third of it has recovered, but it can barely maintain its form. If you want to use your own body, then use it.]
Although in this case, the speed at which his strength recovers would be much slower than when he is asleep.
The little snake's voice was instantly filled with excitement and said: [Zundu fakedu? ! ! !]
Qin Sang's expression remained calm: [Zundu.]
Qin Sang then slowly moved his body away from the bed, then sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, closed his eyes and began to circulate the energy around his body.
After that, the dark room fell into silence again.
Jiang Rong, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes. He stared at the back of the person's head beside the bed with his bright and clear eyes for a while. After determining that the person was indeed practicing, he turned over and continued to sleep.
The next morning, Jiang Rong woke up and was still a little dazed when she opened her eyes. After lying on the bed for a while, she sat up straight with clear eyes, and then saw the silver-haired young man sitting motionless at the head of her bed.
Jiang Rong's eyelids twitched violently, and he almost couldn't resist the urge to grab a knife from the space and throw it over.
Qin Sang said expressionlessly: "Good morning."
Jiang Rong...
She thought last night that this person would be like before, coming out for a while and then going back to sleep.
"Where's your guardian spirit?"
"In my domain space."
"Have you recovered your strength?" Jiang Rong asked as he got out of bed.
Qin Sang shook his head after hearing this: "I have recovered a little."
"No need to sleep anymore?"
"uncertain."
"Okay, what's your name? I forgot to ask last time." Jiang Rong put on his big cotton jacket, opened the door, and motioned him to come out with him.
At this time, Cai'er, who lived diagonally opposite, opened the door and prepared to go downstairs to make something to eat. Usually, her mother was in charge of breakfast, but her mother was tired after a day of work yesterday. Cai'er wanted her mother to have more rest today, so she discussed with her mother last night that she would make breakfast today.
As a result, when I went out early in the morning, I saw a strange man walking out of Jiang Rong's room.
She just raised her leg to step out of the room, but for a moment she didn't know whether to stretch it out or retract it.
Zhao Caier frowned, then stared at the man for two seconds, and soon remembered that she had seen this man before.
"My name is Qin Sang."
"My name is Jiang Rong."
"Hello."
"Well, hello."
The two chatted casually as they walked out.
…
"Rong Rong?" Zhao Caier said in a low voice, and then finally took a step forward.
Then he took three or two steps and ran to Jiang Rong's side.
"Who is this person?" She grabbed Jiang Rong's arm and pulled him aside. She looked at Qin Sang warily while sniffing at Jiang Rong with concern and gossip.
Jiang Rong naturally answered truthfully.
"Didn't you see him turn into a short snake last time?"
"I see. I mean, besides the little short snake, what is his other identity? Where is he from? Which mountain is he from? Why did he come back to find you? Also, if he is always like this in the future, you have to arrange another room for him later. I don't even share a room with you, why should he stay in your room?!"
Zhao Caier expressed her dissatisfaction.
"I don't know which hill his home is from, and I just asked for its name. As for the room, I was just about to arrange one for him, but you stopped me." Jiang Rong said helplessly.
Zhao Caier heard this and pulled her to touch him quietly but actually said loudly: "You don't even know his identity, and you dare to keep him around all the time?! He suddenly came to our house in the form of a short snake? How did he find us? Is there any conspiracy? Don't you know all this? Are you still planning to keep this unknown person at home?"
As Zhao Caier spoke, her eyes became more and more disappointed. Her sisters must have been mesmerized by the beauty of this male demon and their minds were not clear.
Jiang Rong...
At this time, she also turned sideways and pulled Zhao Caier over, explaining the whole series of events in a low voice.
After listening silently for a while, Zhao Caier nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's about right."
"Then you take care of it for him first. I'll go downstairs and cook some porridge."
Jiang Rong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. Thinking that he would have to accept the care and condolences from the whole family later, he felt very dry in the mouth and really needed to drink some water to moisten his throat.
"Come with me, I'll arrange a place for you to stay."
Qin Sang nodded slightly, not paying much attention to the whispered conversation between the two just now.
Then Jiang Rong took him to an empty room on the first floor.
The bedding was neatly placed on the bed, and the floor was covered with fluffy gray carpet. There was air conditioning but no heater.
"Are you afraid of the cold?" Jiang Rong asked.
"Not afraid now."
"Then when should I be afraid? At night?"
Qin Sang shook his head.
"Before."
"Okay, so do you need a haircut? And some thick clothes?"
Jiang Rong looked at the other person's long silver-white hair that fell to her waist. Although it looked pretty, it would be quite inconvenient.
He was only wearing a thin black and gold long gown, with a chain of unknown material tied around his waist, neither loose nor tight... Jiang Rong felt that this man's waist was probably thinner than his own, and he didn't look very healthy. Was he originally a snake? Was he really not afraid of the cold?
There was some disbelief in her eyes.
"No, thank you." Qin Sang shook his head in response to Jiang Rong's questions.
However, Jiang Rong finally left him a black men's long cotton-padded jacket. She bought these jackets in wholesale and had a lot more in her space.
"Then can you do your hair in a bun?"
She looked at Qin Sang's long hair, pale lips, and exposed skin that was almost transparent. She felt that he looked sick and lifeless. If Qin Sang's eyes were not clear and sharp at this moment, she felt that he might faint in the next second.
Qin Sang nodded this time.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Rong took out a jade hairpin of ordinary quality from the space and handed it over.
Then I watched as the other person skillfully rolled the silver-white hair into a bun of medium height that was neither loose nor tight. At first glance, he looked like a handsome and elegant little Taoist priest with a cold temperament.
