Chapter 228 230 Someone Knocks on the Door
After Rong Xianxian and the others returned to the service area, they drove both cars directly into the house. It was already past four in the afternoon. Normally, the sun would still be high at this time, but due to the weather, it was pitch dark outside and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Only when there were lightning and thunder could one see clearly with the help of the light of the lightning. Under the raging wind, branches and leaves were broken, sand and rocks were flying, and the ground was in a mess.
The car lights that had been on just now went out, and the room fell into darkness. Rong Xianxian turned on two high-intensity flashlights, took out a few beautiful glowing gems, and lit a circle of candles in the small supermarket. Only then did the room become brighter.
Rong Xianxian separated out three small cubicles in the small supermarket. She and her two children lived in one, and other people took turns using the other two. The glass door of the small supermarket turned it into a world of its own, even blocking out a lot of noise from outside.
Although it is raining heavily, there shouldn't be any monsters attacking, but someone needs to be on duty at the main gate and the side gate, and someone must be left in the off-road vehicle and the off-road RV. As for who will be on duty, it won't be too late to discuss it after dinner.
Rong Xianxian only took Cui Lie and the others to clean up the small supermarket and the nearby rest area. The snack stalls outside and the side door were left untouched.
Rong Xianxian chose a relatively tidy snack stand, and with a wave of her hand, she threw out the huge wild boar that she had caught at noon. The wild boar was two and a half meters long, with very strong front and back limbs (three limbs left), a big head and a long mouth, sharp teeth, and a fat and strong body.
"Wild boar!" Wang Qirui shouted in surprise. He would have fresh meat to eat these two days.
"Come, let's get to work!" Rong Xianxian called out, and everyone except Cui Lie gathered around.
Although this wild boar was not a mutant, it was affected by the revival of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and its tendons, bones, and flesh also contained a trace of spiritual energy. Although the people were not butchers, they had cut and dissected monsters many times, so they were already familiar with the job of dividing the meat and shaving the bones. They followed the muscle texture and quickly cut the meat from all parts of the wild boar, including the tenderloin, hind leg meat, ribs, thigh bones, pork belly, buttocks, front and back elbows, pig head, trotters, internal organs, and offal, and put them away in portions.
Rong Xianxian watched with satisfaction. The cooking skills were excellent. The red meat was bright red and shiny, the muscles were intact and the muscle membrane was not broken. The white fat part was milky white and clean, delicate and moist. The red and white colors alternated, and the meat was dense and firm. It was a really satisfying ingredient.
Rong Xianxian didn't have the patience to clean up the pig's head, trotters, offal, and hairy pig skin, these ingredients that were difficult to handle, so she threw them aside. Tonight she would make some sweet and sour spare ribs, stew some braised pork, grilled meat, deep-fried meatballs, and stew some bone sticks. After all, it was summer and the weather was hot, and fresh meat could not be kept. Rong Xianxian looked at the meat and calculated secretly that it had rained for four days and five nights, so this wild boar would be enough for them to eat. She would leave some pork belly and small ribs to marinate and roast them the day after tomorrow, and stew all the other large pieces of meat in the large bone soup over low heat. As long as the fire was not turned on, the meat would not go bad.
The rumbling thunder was followed by a loud explosion-like sound. Amid the thunder and rain, there seemed to be some movement. Cui Lie, who was meditating, moved his ears and opened his eyes.
Rong Xianxian and the others were busy packing up and seemed unaware of the unusual movement outside.
"Bang, bang, bang." There were sudden heavy banging sounds from the main door, and Rong Xianxian and her group all turned their heads to look frontally.
The glass at the main door was shattered. After the RV drove in, there was a layer of anti-theft rolling door, which fell just against the rear compartment of the RV. The banging sound was heard, and it was obvious that it was hitting the RV. It seemed that the rolling door had been destroyed by the intruders at some point.
"Sister Rong, I'll go take a look." Cui Lie heard the noise and immediately stood up and said to Rong Xianxian.
"Wait, Ajie, Kaikai, you two go and take a look. It should be someone passing by who wants to come in to shelter from the rain. No need to say anything, just shout and ask them to go to the side door. Remember to bring their guns." Rong Xianxian ordered, knowing that if someone knocked on the door, it couldn't be a monster.
Jiang Jie and Xia Kai put on their raincoats and went to receive the order.
"Sister Rong, are you letting them in without first checking who they are? What if they are not good people?" Wang Lin said with some concern.
"It's raining heavily outside and there's no place to shelter nearby. If we occupy this place and don't let them in, won't we be forcing them to fight us to the death?" Rong Xianxian said slowly.
Although Rong Xianxian was not a kind-hearted person, she would not do anything like turning people away under such circumstances. If she put herself in their shoes, if it were them who were outside and the people inside were not allowed in, Rong Xianxian would probably tear down the house and would rather everyone have no place to shelter from the rain.
Besides, Rong Xianxian's current combat power is definitely outstanding among her peers. Even if there are always people better than you, she has both the barrier beads that can make her invisible and the soul-calming bell for mental attack. The spiritual weapons are ever-changing and can kill people invisibly, not to mention that she also has a large number of hot weapons and various poisons. If the people who come can get along with them peacefully, then everyone will be relieved. If they have any ideas, Rong Xianxian raised the corners of her mouth slightly. In this kind of world, those who dare to walk outside are not ordinary people. They should have a lot of good things on them. Killing and robbing is really a shortcut to getting rich. Don't think about it, don't think about it.
"Hey, that side is blocked, go this way." Jiang Jie moved the SUV blocking the side door away, opened the side door and shouted to the people outside.
I don’t know whether those people heard Jiang Jie’s shouting or saw the light coming through the side door, but the people outside started the car and drove in through the side door.
"Alie, go and ask Ajie to drive our car over and block the middle of the rest area. We don't need to worry about the side door." Rong Xianxian said to Cui Lie. Giving them half the space was quite considerate.
Cui Lie nodded and turned away.
Just because Rong Xianxian doesn't want to go out and deal with people doesn't mean she doesn't care who comes. Cui Lie went over there. Rong Xianxian mobilized her five senses and listened attentively. "Captain Cui," this is Xia Kai's voice.
"Hello, brother, thank you for opening this door and giving us a place to shelter from the rain." A man said politely, his voice was low and pleasant, his pronunciation was clear and bright, and there was an elegance in his speech like flowing water.
"You're welcome. There's enough space here. We've already cleaned up the main entrance. The side door is yours. Each of you should take your side. I hope you won't cross the line." This was Cui Lie's voice.
Cui Lie usually doesn't talk much, but his tone is gentle. At this moment, his voice is cold and sharp, giving people a feeling of indifference.
