Chapter 141 Finger Bones
"The food at the base is pretty good."
Xu Zhiyang said, "Eat first, and then we can talk after you're full."
“I’m not hungry…”
"Oh, all right then."
"That's right. I've already told my brother. He hopes you can wait a while. After all, they are Gold Energy users. The ordinary people in the base pin their hopes on them. We can't just kill them without permission."
Worried that Yan Shen would be angry, Xu Zhiyang quickly raised his hand and swore.
"Don't worry! We just lack evidence to use against Li Yu. I'll follow him tomorrow! Then we'll show everyone his true colors!"
Yan Shen looked at him expressionlessly for a while, pulled Xu Zhiyang's hand down, and uttered a few words in a low voice.
"As you say."
"Thank you." Xu Zhiyang smiled at him, stood up and stomped her feet, brushing off the snowflakes on her cloak.
"Are you leaving?" Yan Shen stood up.
Xu Zhiyang raised her eyes to look at him: "I still have things to do, what's wrong?"
"fine."
Xu Zhiyang didn't understand what was going on. Another gust of cold wind blew over and made him shiver. He didn't want to use fire energy these days. Fire energy could warm him up, but it was tiring.
Yan Shen couldn't feel the cold or the heat, and stood there watching him leave as usual.
Xu Zhiyang felt that this person was a bit pitiful, so he activated his wood energy and covered the area under the eaves that was originally open to wind on three sides with plants.
Beautiful roses bloomed in the winter snow of City A. The vines climbed up from the ground to the eaves and intertwined with each other, and then bloomed with small pink and white flowers.
The roses were bustling around, covering up any gaps where air could get in, leaving only a person's width for Yan Shen to enter and exit.
After doing all this, Xu Zhiyang retracted his hand and shivered again.
Yan Shen hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait for me two minutes."
"Oh..." Xu Zhiyang stood in place, using the energy of fire to keep warm.
It really is two minutes.
Yan Shen took out a small object from his pocket and handed it to Xu Zhiyang, "This is... a thank you gift."
"A thank you gift?" Xu Zhiyang took it and looked at it, and almost threw it away.
This is a piece of bone, and it's a finger bone.
The bones felt cold and bloody.
Xu Zhiyang was shocked when she saw Yan Shen's other hand hanging by his side. "Are you crazy? This is your finger bone?!"
"Well, you find someone to make a whistle and blow it, and I'll come help you."
There was no bleeding from Yan Shen's ring finger, but the broken bones and torn flesh were clearly visible.
Xu Zhiyang shuddered again and wanted to say "awesome", but held back.
He simply raised his hand and covered the back of Yan Shen's hand. After a moment, his fingers grew back intact.
"Thank you. I'll take this."
Xu Zhiyang waved at him, turned around, spread his wings and flew back.
Yan Shen watched him leave, then stayed there for a while getting wet in the snow before returning to the eaves.
When they returned to the city wall, Zhu Ci, Mu Ke and Fu Qingbai were not there, only Li Huiyin and Lu Nian were there.
"Where are they?" Xu Zhiyang asked.
Li Huiyin stuffed a lollipop in her mouth and spoke incoherently, "It seems that a small group of zombies appeared in an uninhabited area of the base, and all the five elements energy users went to help."
Lu Nian said, "Brother said we should go back after you come back. It's time for the shift change here."
"Okay." Xu Zhiyang nodded, "Then let's go back and eat."
The three of them walked down the city wall together. Xu Zhiyang opened the car door and was about to get in when someone suddenly called him.
Xu Zhiyang looked over, his expression turning cold. "What's the matter?"
"Something!" Leng Yue raised her chin and said arrogantly, "I have something to tell you. It's very important."
Xu Zhiyang said calmly, "I don't want to listen."
Seeing that Xu Zhiyang was really about to leave, Leng Yue became anxious, "Don't you want to know who pushed you? And what happened between Zhu Ci and me! Don't you want to know?"
Li Huiyin was about to get out of the car to fuck her, but Xu Zhiyang raised his hand and pushed her back.
"Nian Nian, you two go back first."
Xu Zhiyang closed the car door, tightened his cloak and walked towards Leng Yue, leaving a faint remark as he passed by her.
"If you don't want to embarrass yourself, follow me."
There is a small noodle shop not far from the city wall. The food there is cheap and the portions are large. Every time it is the turn of the seven people guarding the gate, they will come here.
The shop owners are ordinary people, an elderly couple with a grandson of four or five years old.
The last time a few people came here to eat, their child happened to be sick, and Xu Zhiyang cured him without hesitation. From then on, the owner didn't charge people for the noodles when they came to eat there.
Xu Zhiyang secretly put a crystal into the money box, and the child saw it and told his grandparents.
After the old couple's recommendations failed, they came again. Not only did they not charge any money, they even put much more ingredients in the food than others.
Seeing Xu Zhiyang coming over, the old lady smiled and said, "Come to eat noodles so late? Come in and sit down. I'll serve you a bowl of noodle soup first."
"Thank you." Xu Zhiyang smiled brightly. "Grandma, can my friend and I go to the backyard? We have something to talk about."
"Okay, I'll bring the noodles to you later."
"Okay, thank you, grandma."
Xu Zhiyang brought Leng Yue directly to the backyard of the noodle shop.
The place is small. Half of the yard is a vegetable garden, and the other part is a shed. It is very warm in winter when the stove is lit and the curtains are lowered.
"Say what you want to say quickly."
Xu Zhiyang raised her hand and took the glass teacup on the small stone table, took the teapot on the stove next to her, rinsed the cup, and poured a cup of hot tea in front of Leng Yue.
Leng Yue was stunned for a moment, looking at the glass of boiled water in front of her, and her originally arrogant look subsided a little.
She was already in her twenties, and when she looked at the minor opposite her, she gave up the idea of bullying him.
"No wonder so many people like you."
Leng Yue spoke a little unnaturally: "Although you seem to have good character, you don't need to please me. I will not give up Zhu Ci."
"Yeah." Xu Zhiyang responded lightly.
Leng Yue: “…”
"Are you even listening to me?!"
"I heard it." Xu Zhiyang took a sip of hot tea: "I don't know what to say. I'm not in the mood to argue today."
"You are such a..." Leng Yue sulked for a while.
After a moment, she said, "I didn't push you last time. Even though I have a bad temper, I know how many people are protecting you, and I don't want to die."
"Well, then what?"
"Li Yu was behind me at the time, and he didn't stand firmly... No! You can't say he didn't stand firmly, he bumped into me on purpose!"
Leng Yue thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong.
"He bumped into Black Wolf, and Black Wolf knocked me down! So I wasn't the one who wanted to hurt you!"
"Don't get excited." Xu Zhiyang glanced at her calmly, "The soundproofing here is poor."
Leng Yue was a little angry at him for not fighting back, "Hey! Aren't there a lot of people in the base saying you're a firecracker? You should rush to Li Yu's house and kill him now!"
Xu Zhiyang: “…”
You must be crazy...
Xu Zhiyang asked sincerely, "Are you in your twenties?"
Leng Yue was stunned for a moment, then answered subconsciously: "Twenty-five."
"oh."
"Why do you ask that?"
"No, you give me the feeling of being underage and childish."
"You!" Leng Yue slammed the table and stood up.
