This is a little tacit understanding between the brother and sister, and Chu Xuan has almost formed a conditioned reflex around it.
As soon as I saw my brother grabbing the ground, I knew what he wanted to do.
Chu Qi applied another layer of glue on Chu Xuan's face until it was completely dark and her original appearance could no longer be seen. She stopped only when she was satisfied.
"Okay, continue eating."
Chu Xuan nodded, picked up the bowl, and followed the method her brother taught her. She closed her mouth and slowly ate the soft and glutinous sweet potatoes, trying not to make any noise.
Chu Qi also started eating beside her.
The sweet potato porridge is almost finished and the roasted lamb leg is almost ready.
Chu Qi folded up the unused strips of cloth and used them as a heat-insulating mat. With one hand, she removed the iron stick with the roasted lamb leg on it and placed it under a large green leaf of unknown origin to cool down.
After a while, Chu Qi held the sharp and shiny knife and cut a piece of steaming and fragrant barbecue.
Chu Xuan held the bowl and stared at it eagerly. When Chu Qi cut off a piece, she immediately took it, blew a few breaths on it with a smile on her face, and then took a bite impatiently.
The sizzling barbecue tasted delicious when I took a bite.
Chu Xuan stuffed one cheek with meat like a little hamster and chewed it with a happy look on her face, her cheek puffing up.
"Sister Lin, I want to eat roasted lamb legs too..."
The thin man who led the way with a map in his hand during the day glanced at the two brothers on the other side with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Seeing the ten-year-old boy eating so happily, I couldn’t help but wonder if it was really that delicious?
Sister Lin was also paying attention to them. She lowered her eyes calmly, took a bite of roast pork, and said calmly:
"Never mind, it's good enough to get the ginger. As for the mutton, we can fight for it again if we have the chance."
"Hmm." The thin man took a big bite of the roast pork and regretfully withdrew his greedy gaze.
Chu Xuan seemed to have sensed something and hid behind her brother, mouthing: How scary.
Chu Qi cut another piece of meat for her, and her meaning was simple: eat more and you won’t be afraid.
Chu Xuan's attention was drawn away, and she immediately stopped thinking about what happened just now. Her brother was right, she was too young, she must eat more to grow meat and grow taller!
The sun sets, the last ray of sunset glow disappears on the horizon, and night falls.
In the desolate desert, the last remaining light was the flames sheltered by the towering trees.
The heat in the air gradually dissipated as the sun disappeared, and the cold air under the ground gradually rose.
The virus is raging on Earth, and the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large, just like the setting in a game.
Chu Qi took out two coats from the space, one thick and one thin, using the luggage bag as a cover.
Give the thick one to Chu Xuan and the thin one to Chu Qi.
Another advantage of developing superpowers in the body is that you won't be very sensitive to changes in temperature.
The temperature that made Chu Xuan extremely cold was just “a little cool” to Chu Qi.
The lamb leg was almost finished, leaving a pile of bones. Chu Qi dug a hole and buried the bones in the soil as usual.
Chu Xuan rubbed her greasy hands clean with sand, wiped them with a wet towel, and drank water from the cup contentedly.
Chu Qi packed up and put all her belongings into a big bag.
Her bag was so large that no one knew how much was inside.
Chu Qi tied the bag on his back, easily took it to the tree and put it away, then came down and snuggled up with Chu Xuan.
Since there are outsiders here tonight, Chu Qi has no plans to practice the supernatural powers that she practices every day.
Doing nothing and just staying there quietly is also a kind of enjoyment.
The night was still long. Chu Xuan yawned, leaned on her brother's shoulder which was not very broad but extremely reassuring, and fell asleep unknowingly.
Chu Qi simply stretched out her legs and let her sister sleep on her legs.
The night was quiet. With the deterrence of fire, wild beasts dared not approach. Occasionally, a mutant bird would perch on the top of a branch, lowering its eyes and observing, chirping a few times.
Instead, it adds a bit of fun.
Sister Lin sat three meters away from Chu Qi, with her back against a thick tree trunk. She tilted her head to look at Chu Xuan who was sleeping on her back. She thought her heart was completely closed, but a crack appeared involuntarily.
I really envy that boy...
It’s the end of the world and there is still someone who pampers me like this.
She saw everything Chu Qi did today. It can be said that Chu Qi treats Chu Xuan like her own son.
son?
When Sister Lin had this thought, she was stunned for a moment. She couldn't tell the man's exact age through his beard.
Maybe, that boy is really someone's son...
For a moment, Sister Lin became even more envious because he actually had a father.
Sister Lin retracted her gaze and looked up at the night sky above her head.
But today the night sky is no longer blue. It is gray everywhere and all the stars are invisible. Only when the weather is particularly good occasionally can you glimpse a few stars.
The deep red moon is still hanging high in the night sky, illuminating the earth all night long.
After staring at it for so many years, the deep red moon is no longer novel to me. Instead, I feel it has a different kind of beauty.
....
Chu Xuan woke up from a nap, and it was Chu Qi's turn to catch up on some sleep.
The next day, the sunlight broke through the clouds, shone through the layers of leaves, and shone into Chu Qi's eyes.
The mottled shadows of the trees swayed in the air. Chu Qi opened her eyes, which were clear and bright. She stretched lazily, then slowly got down from the tree and began to prepare today's breakfast.
There are a lot of supplies and because of the high physical strength consumed by traveling, Chu Qi will prepare breakfast in the morning to replenish some energy.
Chu Xuan took advantage of her brother's time to prepare breakfast and fell asleep. It had almost become her instinct to seize every opportunity to catch up on sleep.
She had no other skills except making sure she had enough energy to keep watch over her brother when he was sleeping.
After breakfast, Chu Qi picked up her bag and continued on an unknown journey with her sister.
After walking for more than three months, the legendary wealthy area has not been found.
If it weren't for the system's confirming information, Chu Qi would almost doubt whether this place really existed.
When Sister Lin found out that Chu Qi was walking in the same direction as them, her eyes flashed and she randomly gestured to Li Fei, who had talked to Chu Qi before, to speak.
Li Fei: "Seventh brother, excuse me, where are you going?"
He scratched his head and smiled innocently, "I see you guys are going in the same direction as us, so I asked out of curiosity. Don't mind."
Chu Qi looked at him, showing a slightly hesitant look, but in fact, she was calm: "Go find the rich area!"
Li Fei subconsciously glanced at Sister Lin, waiting for her instructions.
Sister Lin also hesitated for a moment before speaking: "We are also going to find the wealthy area. The journey is dangerous. Why don't we go together?"
She didn't ask Chu Qi where she knew the information about the wealthy area, but directly stated her purpose.
Her straightforward attitude made Chu Qi feel a little favorable towards her, "Okay."
Chu Qi had encountered large wild beasts before, and he had only dealt with them by relying on terrain and strategies.
Two fists are no match for four hands, so it is indeed safer to travel together.
The performance of Sister Lin and others last night was barely trustworthy.
