Chapter 040 Everyone is sick
Although security has been greatly increased with anti-theft doors and wooden fences, one still needs to be vigilant at all times in the mountains at night to prevent emergencies, so after dinner, the person who will be on guard tonight was punished as usual.
In order to conserve his energy, Lu Xuan deliberately eliminated those who were going out to explore tomorrow when drawing lots, and returned to his small cave early with his family.
As soon as they returned to their own territory, the Lu family was amazed by the amazingly soft sofa that Lu Xuan brought out.
After a day's work, Lu Qing and Lei Yan involuntarily stretched out their bodies on the comfortable sofa, with an expression of comfort appearing uncontrollably on their faces.
So comfortable!
After sitting for a while, Lu Chen couldn't help but take off his shoes and jump on it. After feeling the fun of it, he jumped harder and harder.
After all, what kid can resist a trampoline?
Lu Qing was startled when she saw this, and she quickly sat up straight and said anxiously, "Chenchen, come down quickly, be careful not to break the sofa!"
Lu Xuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it won't hurt to sit there."
The audience in the live broadcast room nodded. This was a custom sofa made by a well-known furniture manufacturing company in the Star Alliance. It was made of the hide of a mutant beast that was famous for its toughness. How could it be broken by just a few steps?
The little guy doesn’t even have a decent toy, so what’s wrong with playing on the sofa trampoline for a while? Let him jump!
Fortunately, Lu Chen was more sensible. He stopped jumping for a short while and sat down again obediently.
Because everyone was there during the day, the family couldn't find a chance to talk in private. It was at this time that Lu Qing asked the question that had been on her mind during the day.
"Ah Xuan, did you put too much supplies in our rings?"
Lu Qing carefully touched the ring on her index finger and said worriedly, "I took a quick look and saw that there were probably over a thousand kilograms of grain, and even dozens of pigs and sheep. With so much stuff, what if someone steals it?"
Lu Xuan said, "A lot? This is just a fraction of the supplies I stockpiled in the capital."
Audience in the live broadcast room: That’s right, the host bought tens of thousands of kilograms of food, but only gave a thousand kilograms to my sister and brother-in-law. It’s already very little. If it’s any less, they will not be able to help but point fingers at the stingy host.
Lu Xuan said, "If you really encounter danger, just throw away the ring. Save your life first. As long as you are still alive, I can always get the ring and the supplies inside back."
Anyway, there are no other people with superpowers in this world. In the era of cold weapons, he doesn't think anyone can beat him.
Lu Xuan reminded them, "You all know that the current situation is special. Although this cave is relatively safe at the moment, no one knows what will happen in the future. Moreover, there are many emergencies in the deep mountains. If you accidentally get lost and can't come back one day, wouldn't it be difficult to survive if you don't have enough supplies on you?
During this special period, it is safest to carry important supplies wherever you go rather than hiding them in a specific place."
After all, what if you encounter an accident and can’t return to the place where the supplies are hidden?
Maybe the hidden supplies will become someone else's adventure, a pie in the sky.
Anyone who wants to be such a sucker can do so, but he won’t be one.
Lu Qing clutched her chest and said, "But, with so much supplies to carry around, what if I accidentally lose my ring? The mountains are so big, it would be hard to find something if I lost it. Wearing a ring with so much supplies in it, I feel like I'm going to have trouble sleeping."
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows and said deliberately: "Then return it to me?"
Lu Qing subconsciously covered her fingers and blurted out, "Why did you take it back after you gave it to me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed Lu Xuan's teasing expression and her face couldn't help but blush. She glared at him angrily, then changed her tone and said, "I think you're right. Carrying it with you is indeed more reassuring during the disaster period."
Lu Xuan: "Puff."
Lu Chen: "Puff."
Lei Yan pursed his lips, trying hard not to laugh, but there was a smile in his eyes. He was obviously touched by the cute reaction of his wife.
Of course, Lu Xuan would not really leave them completely defenseless.
Not to mention the possibility of meeting outsiders in the future, just talking about the people within the village, he would not be stupid enough to think that they can all be completely trusted.
Lu Xuan took out two tranquilizer guns and explained to them: "This is a tranquilizer gun. It can cause tranquilization to the enemy. Here is the trigger, and here is the muzzle. If you encounter danger, you can use this gun to protect yourself."
Currently, the purchasing rights for tranquilizer guns have not been unlocked, and they have not appeared in the daily discounts. He only has these two, one as a gift for the achievement, and the other from a blind box.
He gave Lu Qing and Lu Chen a handful each, and then said to Lei Yan, "Brother-in-law, I'll give you another handful next time I get one."
Lei Yan is a strong man and has much less chance of encountering danger than the siblings.
Besides, isn’t it the husband’s duty to give way to his wife and brother-in-law?
Lei Yan had no objection to this, but he soon mentioned: "This... gun? It sounds very powerful from what you said. Wouldn't it be a good idea to take it with you when you go hunting tomorrow?"
Lu Qing, who was carefully holding the tranquilizer gun, quickly said, "Yes, you should carry it with you tomorrow."
Lu Xuan said: "No need, I can still kill wild boars without a tranquilizer gun."
"But……"
Lu Xuan didn't want to waste time on this topic, so he took out small appliances such as the smart kettle, humidifier, and pressure cooker and told Lu Qing how to use them. Sure enough, Lu Qing's attention was instantly diverted.
These are all the household appliances that Lu Qing uses on a daily basis. She especially likes kettles and pressure cookers.
With a kettle, you don’t have to boil water in front of the stove in the hot summer. A pressure cooker can greatly save cooking time, and the freed time can be used to do other things.
Speaking of heat, Lei Yan couldn't help but join in the conversation, "Come to think of it, the biosuits you gave us are really convenient. We didn't feel the heat at all when we were working in the afternoon. If we had biosuits when we went to the fields before, we wouldn't have to rest even when the sun was blazing. I don't know how much effort we could have saved."
Lu Qing and Lu Chen nodded in agreement. "When I first put it on, I was worried it would be uncomfortable because it was so tight on my clothes. But I didn't expect it to feel restrictive at all."
“Once you put it on, you don’t want to take it off.”
Lu Chen even shouted, "I want to wear it to sleep!"
It’s much hotter today than yesterday. Without the biological suit, I would definitely be too hot to sleep at night.
Lu Xuan said, "I have extra biological clothes. I'll give you two more for each of you to change into."
The four of them talked for a while, and the fatigue of the day gradually emerged. Soon they said good night to each other and returned to their rooms.
Lu Chen slept well last night, so she didn't pester Lu Chen to continue sleeping with him tonight. Instead, she went back to her room to study the supplies in his space.
After Lu Xuan returned to his room, he said goodbye to the audience in the live broadcast room and ended the broadcast. After that, he continued with his daily bedtime summary as usual.
Because of the gimmick of drawing blind boxes, his number of fans reached more than 600,000, with a slight increase of 200,000 online.
The more fans you have, the more gift income you can get every day.
When he first came here, he could only redeem a few hundred points every day. Now, in less than a month, the daily gift income has stabilized at at least 20,000 to 30,000 points.
Today, the interstellar people were happy to see his blind box shipments, and the rich local tycoons and wealthy women spent a lot of money, and their profits doubled.
He spent more than 30,000 yuan when drawing blind boxes, and the points he earned made him back two-thirds of his investment. Combined with the income from gifts, the total balance in his account has increased instead of decreased, reaching more than 180,000 yuan.
Lu Xuan raised the corners of his mouth in pleasure.
At this rate, he might be able to afford an affordable spaceship within one or two years, rather than three to five years.
It seems that a hover car was refreshed a few days ago. The price of a hover car is much cheaper than a spaceship, only more than one million.
Maybe he could save up points for a month or two and buy a hover car to play with?
Well, he has to buy some daily necessities or draw cards to spend points every now and then. Based on his current income, if he really buys a hover car, he may become a pauper. It would be better for him to find a way to increase his income.
I will take the villagers hunting tomorrow, and then I can recreate the battle scenes that old fans like very much for the new fans who came later.
If you don't encounter ferocious beasts like wolves, tigers or leopards, it may be a bit too much to just show off the vampire vines, but you can still try other tricks.
As he was thinking, Lu Xuan soon fell asleep.
-
“Knock, knock, knock—Lu Xuan! Lu Xuan, open the door quickly—!”
When the first rapid knock on the door sounded, Lu Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp look flashed quickly in his eyes.
After a moment, he realized where he was and his expression relaxed again. He yawned and went out to open the door.
Seeing Li Jing's anxious look outside through the glass window on the security door, Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows, opened the door and said, "What happened?" There should have been no wild beasts approaching last night.
Li Jing said anxiously, "Come with me to the big cave. Many children and old people are sick."
"What?" Lu Qing and Lei Yan, who were also awakened, walked out of the room and just heard this, and couldn't help but be shocked.
"What's wrong? It's so noisy." Lu Chen walked out of another room yawning, his face full of sleepiness.
Li Jing was a little surprised to see that he was fine, but he didn't have time to say anything at the moment, and hurriedly pulled Lu Xuan out.
Seeing this, Lu Qing and Lei Yan hurriedly followed.
When walking into the big cave, Lu Xuan's footsteps paused obviously, and he didn't lift his feet again until a breeze brushed past his nose.
The inside of the cave had obviously changed a lot compared to when they first arrived.
The space of each small family was divided into dozens of small compartments with circles of curtains.
At this time, many of the door curtains of the small compartments were rolled up. When Lu Xuan passed by, he saw children or elderly people lying on the beds inside, their faces abnormally red.
Lu Qing and his wife noticed this as they followed behind and asked worriedly, "What's going on? Why are so many of them suddenly falling ill? Did they eat something bad last night?"
Li Jing frowned and said, "It must be because of the shock of the earth two days ago."
With the security door, the women fumigated the cave with mugwort in advance last night, which reduced the danger and mosquito troubles. The sound insulation effect of the security door was surprisingly good, and we almost didn't hear the terrifying roars of the beasts at night.
They should have had a good sleep last night, but who would have thought such an accident would happen.
No, they should have thought of it.
When we first entered the mountains, everyone was very nervous and their nerves were tense, not daring to relax.
The square was initially completed yesterday, and the cave also had basic protection. Once I relaxed, the momentum came back.
That was an unprecedented earthquake that engulfed their entire Yunlu Village. How could it be possible that everyone would be unresponsive afterwards as if nothing had happened?
Even Li Jing himself was still tossing and turning in his dreams last night, experiencing the earthquake over and over again.
He is an adult, and his ability to withstand stress and physical fitness are much stronger than those of the elderly and children. At most, he just had a nightmare, while the elderly and children with poor physical fitness directly developed a high fever, including his son Li Kangbao.
Li Jing took Lu Xuan all the way to the curtained room of his house.
As Lu Xuan lifted the door curtain and walked in, he saw the men, women, young and old from the village chief's family sitting around Li Kangbao's bedding, all of them with worried looks on their faces.
Wu Yinyin has a straightforward personality. She doesn't care about trivial matters and is even a little generous. However, at this moment, her eyes are red because her son has a high fever.
Li Tuo usually likes to be lively, but at this moment he remained silent as he looked at his nephew.
Miao Jinfeng had been waiting anxiously. When she heard the noise, she immediately raised her head. When she saw Lu Xuan, her eyes lit up immediately. "Ah Xuan, you've come just in time. Come and see if there's any way to reduce my fever."
Others also looked at him as if he were a lifeline.
Lu Xuan: “…”
