Chapter 349 Chapter 351 The Courtyard Next Door
Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie returned to the small courtyard they rented. Jiang Jie, Wang Lin and others were anxiously running around like ants on a hot pot. Seeing Rong Xianxian coming back, Wang Lin breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help complaining, "Sister Rong, didn't you just go out to ski? Why did you come back so late? It's so anxious."
Rong Xianxian thought that they really intended to go out for skiing nearby and relax, but who knew that so many things would happen?
Jiang Jie was so excited that he wanted to pounce on Cui Lie, but was pushed away by Rong Xianxian. Seeing Jiang Jie's confused face, Rong Xianxian pulled him over and gave him a friendly hug.
Jiang Jie blushed instantly. Sister Rong was the only female in the team and rarely had such intimate actions with them.
Rong Xianxian just pushed Jiang Jie away mainly because Cui Lie was injured. Seeing Jiang Jie looking aggrieved, she hugged him.
Thinking of Wang Lin's complaints, Rong Xianxian fixed her eyes on Xiao Luo. This time, although she escaped danger several times, and she also accidentally led the Ice Soul into her body, which can be said to be a blessing in disguise, but the process was extremely dangerous, and she almost ended up in pieces.
The reason why so many things happened was largely due to Xiao Luo, especially the fact that he did not obey orders and acted on his own, which resulted in him being ambushed by monsters, who found their flaws and caused an avalanche, putting them in a passive position.
Rong Xianxian stared at Xiao Luo with an unfriendly look. Xiao Luo also knew that it was his previous private actions that triggered the series of events that followed. When he saw Rong Xianxian being smashed into the ice spring, Xiao Luo had already realized his mistake. In the words of adults, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. At this moment, facing his mother's terrifying gaze, the child's knees felt a little weak. Should he cry bitterly or hold his head in surrender? He didn't know which way of admitting his mistake would be more sincere.
Xiao Luo looked at Rong Xianxian's eyes with a frown and a thoughtful expression, and felt that this bad boy did not realize his mistake at all and needed to be taught a lesson.
"I wasn't familiar with the roads outside, so I walked a little far and finally found my way back." Cui Lie explained for Rong Xianxian.
"Captain Cui, you guys didn't encounter any trouble, did you?" Jiang Jie asked suspiciously.
"Now that we are back, it means that no matter how big the trouble is, it will become our meal!" Rong Xianxian patted Jiang Jie's shoulder and said with a laugh.
Although there was a naughty kid waiting for her to deal with, once the problem of drawing natural energy from heaven and earth into her body was solved, Rong Xianxian's previous resentment was swept away, and her mood became much more open.
Cui Lie looked at Rong Xianxian's brilliant smile and couldn't help but smile. His mood was bright.
When Rong Xianxian pushed him away and fell into the icy spring, he really wanted to dive into the spring to pull her out. However, looking at the two children struggling to get close to the spring, he had to cheer up and protect the two children. This was what she entrusted to him. When he comforted the two children and was about to go into the water to look for someone, the monster came.
It was a heart-wrenching feeling, as if she could suffocate at any time. Later, at the critical moment, her water broke. Cui Lie felt that nothing else mattered at that time. As long as she was okay, it was better than anything else.
Both Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie were in a good mood, "Haven't you made dinner yet?" Rong Xianxian looked at the dark sky outside and the blazing fire in the house was empty.
"You haven't come back so late. If the soldiers guarding the city hadn't refused to let us go, we would have gone out to look for you. How could we have the mood to cook?" Wang Lin still muttered with some dissatisfaction.
"Hey, Alin, you keep mumbling. Now you're back, aren't you? Go and make some porridge. I'll make barbecue for you later." Rong Xianxian patted Wang Lin on the head twice and sent him to work.
"Alie, you are injured. Sit down and rest while waiting for dinner." Rong Xianxian turned to Cui Lie and said.
Jiang Jie, Wang Lin, Xia Kai and Ming Tianlei all looked at Cui Lie. Captain Cui's clothes were intact and there was no sign of any injuries. It seemed that his injuries had already been treated, but they didn't know where he was injured?
"Ajie, Kaikai, come with me to the treatment room. Brother Ming will prepare the charcoal and the barbecue grill." Rong Xianxian gave an order and went to the treatment room first.
The disposal room, like the refining room, is underground.
In the disposal room, Rong Xianxian took out the monster's corpse from the foggy space. Xia Kai and Jiang Jie opened their mouths in surprise. They had seen monsters of such a huge size before, but had never killed them. Generally, huge monsters have high defense and are difficult to fight. Moreover, monsters will weigh the pros and cons. Once they find that they cannot win, most of them will run away instead of fighting to the death.
Although this monster had thick fur and skin, and Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie had a hard time fighting it, it was not without weaknesses. The fur on its abdomen was much softer than that on its back, and was not covered with long hair. Rong Xianxian observed for a long time and finally found the weakest spot in the fur below the midline of the monster's abdomen and between its two hind legs. Directing Jiang Jie and Xia Kai to take a lot of effort, they finally used a sharp weapon to cut open its belly. They took out enough meat from the abdomen and ribs on both sides, which was enough for them to eat for several days. It was already late at this time, and everyone's stomachs were growling with hunger, so they took the meat upstairs.
Rong Xianxian brought out a special sauce that she always kept on hand that could preserve the spiritual energy in monster meat. Whether this sauce would be effective on the meat of a level three monster would be clear after trying it tonight.
Rong Xianxian left the task of preparing dinner to Xia Kai and Jiang Jie, and went back to her room to take a bath.
Although the water in the wild ice spring looked clear and very clean, it was, after all, a wild water source. Rong Xianxian returned home at this moment and just wanted to take a hot bath and change into comfortable clothes.
In the courtyard closest to Rong Xianxian's remote courtyard, there was only a kerosene lamp lit in the dark and cold room. A dozen people were sitting around a large round table with a kerosene lamp. In front of each person was a bowl of almost steaming soup with half-hard dried meat soaked in the soup. The hot soup was brought back from the public canteen in a thermos bucket. It was still warm when it was first brought back, but it was no longer warm after just over ten minutes.
The youngest, Cai Ran, looked at this and that, and finally couldn't help asking, "Captain, Sister Wen, aren't you hungry?"
"Eat, eat, everyone, eat!" Captain Qi Sanbing, who had been staring blankly outside, came to his senses and quickly greeted everyone.
"Captain, do you smell that smell coming from over there?" one of the team members said quietly.
"Nonsense, my nose is not broken, how come I can't smell it?" Qi Sanbing retorted unhappily.
