Chapter 033 Chapter 33
After returning home after many days away, Ji Yang closed the door and felt relaxed.
She quickly took out a few burning logs from the space and reignited the fireplace to prevent this situation. Normally, when the fireplace was burning normally, she would collect one or two burning logs into the static space.
It is very convenient to make a fire at this time.
Follow the same steps as before and prepare two charcoal basins, batteries, and radiators.
Ji Yang disappeared from the living room and went to the space to take a hot bath. When she came out of the bath, the room had become warm again. She was too lazy to blow-dry her hair. The materials dried by the heating could humidify her wet hair.
Seeing her master coming out, Xixi wanted to jump over happily.
But at this moment, the room was bright. Ji Yang looked at Xixi, whose body was still covered with grass debris and whose four paws were clearly scented with the smell of dirt. He immediately shouted, "Stop!"
Xixi tilted her head: "Ouch?"
Ji Yang said seriously: "You should take a bath too."
Xixi:!
Resistance was futile, and Xixi was also sent to the space, where she was washed clean all over. She had been in the breeding area for the past few days, rubbing against others, so her body was really not that clean anymore.
Fortunately, after washing, it is a cute and beautiful dog again.
Just need to blow the dog's hair.
Xixi is really big now. It is a large breed of dog. It eats and drinks well here, and it grows even bigger. Ji Yang is so tired that she takes care of it. Then the man and the dog leave the space and have a good time together.
After that, everyone had their own meal.
Having not eaten for a long time, Ji Yang was a little picky after eating Xie Muchi's rice and vegetables. He looked around the cooked food area for a long time and picked out a steak, a lamb chop, and a fresh and tender steamed egg with sea urchin.
Eat it in one bite, delicious!
Successfully put Xie Muchi's home cooking behind my mind.
Xixi was also eating a piece of meat at the side, and its tail was wagging from time to time. Although it was not hungry in the space, the dog was happiest when it was with its owner.
Ji Yang had just come back from outside and was homesick, so he was too lazy to go out.
Anyway, the jade stone that is with Xie Muchi will definitely not be lost. If anything really happens, Xie Muchi can also contact us through the intercom. If he doesn't contact us, then nothing will happen.
For three consecutive days, the man and the dog stayed at home eating and drinking.
It was also on the third day that Li Yi and Jiang Jing came and knocked on the door.
Li Yi handed over a jewelry box, looking much more relaxed than before: "We sent grandpa and grandma to be cremated yesterday, and we can't hold a funeral in this situation. This is to thank you for the dumplings you gave me before. My grandma said she gave them to you to play with."
Ji Yang was surprised and hesitated for a moment: "If you give these to me, they will be gone. I don't collect these, I carve them for fun."
If she puts it in a space, it will be absorbed by the space. If she doesn't put it in a space, it will be inconvenient to carry it with her, but this thing is the relic of the two old people.
Li Yi said calmly, "It's okay. What's given to you is yours. You can do whatever you want with it. Anyway, these things can't be exchanged for much in this world. We just take up space." She was a little tough for the first time and stuffed the box to Ji Yang. "We are going to the base tomorrow. I feel that you will not go. I don't know if we will see each other again in the future. I wish you all the best in the future."
"Same." Ji Yang did not refuse again.
After Li Yi finished, Jiang Jing also presented gifts, some jade and some fried fish nuggets: "This is for you, don't give me anything else, we are going to the base, there is too much space for things, this fish is for exchange, it is said to be transported from the coastal city, this extreme cold has a good thing that things will not go bad, these seafood can be transported here, the price is much cheaper than pork and beef, I made some for you to try."
Ji Yang's eyes lit up slightly, but he still felt a little regretful when he heard that it was a fish from the sea.
The near sea is probably frozen, but the government has icebreakers. No matter how cold it is, the Antarctic and the Arctic are not completely frozen, so fishing is definitely still possible in the open sea. When the sea water is frozen, there will be many fish and shrimps gathering in places that are not frozen.
In the later stages of extreme cold, it is a source of protein for many people.
But freshwater fish hardly appeared.
Ji Yang thought of her small pond. The four little guys were still alive and well. She had already put them back into the nest. She had tasted the water and found it was fresh water. She had to find a way to get some live fish and shrimp.
But that’s a story for later.
At this time, she accepted the gift and thanked him sincerely. They lived in the same building and had no conflicts. They helped each other a few times. Now that they were separated, she had some feelings. But in the last days, the most important thing to get used to is that people around you come and go, and no one will stay in the same place forever.
After a brief chat, the three of them went back.
Li Yi and Jiang Jing were determined not to take Ji Yang's things. She had helped them so much. Next, they would go to the base, which was a very safe place and they could handle it on their own.
——
The next day, Ji Yang heard the sound of moving.
There are two escape stairs in the apartment building, and the Li family's move will not disturb this place. Xixi just paid a brief attention to it and ignored it.
The noise quickly disappeared.
Ji Yang looked towards the balcony and saw that many people had chosen to leave. Judging from the number of times, there was only one last move left, so most of the people should have left this time.
Those who are still staying outside are either reluctant to leave, or do not want to suffer in the base, or have connections outside that allow them to do better than in the base.
Ji Yang watched for a while and saw the Li family and Jiang Jing go out together.
They all carried large and small bags. Four adults and one child gathered at the entrance of the community with other survivors who had also left, and finally went to the official designated location together. The wind was cold and the group walked very carefully, not knowing what the road ahead would be.
Ji Yang tilted her head. She knew part of the way forward, but she couldn't see any hope at all.
That’s why I have this attitude and live every day well.
They don’t know, and they don’t know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate.
But soon there was no time to sigh. The intercom, which had been silent for a long time, rang, and Xie Muchi's voice came: "Ji Yang, I happen to have some time these days. Do you want to practice with me? Meals are included."
Xixi's ears moved, and as soon as the intercom rang, she picked up the chain that Ji Yang had hung and handed it to her owner.
Ji Yang took it, pressed the button and replied: "No problem! Then I'll pack the fruit."
On the other end of the intercom, the man's slightly low voice contained a hint of smile: "Okay."
Ji Yang also raised the corner of his lips and looked at Xixi: "Let's go out and play?"
"Woof!" Xixi was also excited and responded by wagging her tail.
Ji Yang started to put on her clothes. After she was fully armed, she opened the door and suddenly remembered something. She must not forget to bring delicious food to Luo Laosan. So she took out two bags of spicy hand-shredded rabbit from the space. These were the orders she placed online, and they were sealed in plastic. When she took them out, the fat inside was still a little melted, but soon, the fat gradually solidified, almost visible to the naked eye.
She put the things in her bag, closed the door and took Xixi downstairs. The building became more and more deserted as they went down. She didn't feel anyone looking at her all the way out of the community. It was different from before when she could feel countless eyes looking at her as soon as she went out.
However, as we got closer to the exchange point, more people came.
There are too many people in a city. Even if only a small number want to stay, it is still a very large number.
Fortunately, official personnel have been appearing frequently recently, and they have all been very well-behaved, so security has been greatly improved.
But once the authorities officially focus on the base, things will definitely get chaotic outside.
I just hope that group of people won't disturb her when they are bullying others outside the base.
By the way, the house in Jiafu Community is on the 15th floor. It is very comfortable during extreme cold and floods, but it may not be very comfortable during extreme heat. When the time comes, you can look for a suitable villa area, preferably one with a basement.
The house where her grandparents lived didn't have a basement, and it was located at a low point with a nice view, but it must have been damaged after the flood.
How about going to the base after the flood?
Ji Yang's heart was moved, but she also felt a little repulsive. Life in the base in her previous life was too cramped. The small single room, the neighbors who spied on others everywhere, and the environment where she could never sleep well all made her consider the base as her last choice.
Even if her situation is different in this life.
Ji Yang stopped daydreaming until he saw the familiar building.
Upstairs, Xie Muchi sensed some movement and went to the balcony to check. He happened to see the butt of a red snowmobile. He let out a light sigh. It was as if this person had disappeared since the mission was over. He was holding the walkie-talkie, but there was no movement.
He couldn't help but speak first.
He was the one who opened the door first, so why don't you go down to greet him?
So as not to rush too much.
Xie Muchi rubbed the beads he picked up casually. This was a gift from the transaction two days ago. The man said it was some kind of relic and was very valuable. He had not intended to take it at first, but ever since the mission, he had always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and playing with it could help divert his attention a little.
But at this moment, this thing seems to have no effect.
He listened carefully to the noise downstairs and calculated the time. Why hadn't he come up yet?
Luo Laosan talked so much, probably because he was pulling her aside to talk.
Xie Muzhi frowned, put down the beads, opened the door and went down to the third floor stairs, and saw Ji Yang coming up. The unknown anxiety in his heart seemed to disappear instantly. He raised his eyebrows: "Look at your rosy complexion, you have been doing well these past two days."
Ji Yang also glanced at him and replied: "Look at the dark circles under your eyes. It seems that you haven't been doing well these past two days?"
Xie Muchi subconsciously touched his eyes, thought about the reason why he didn't sleep well in the past two days, looked at her deeply, and fell silent.
As he spoke, Ji Yang took two quick steps and came to the same staircase as Xie Muchi. The two of them went up together. Luo Lao San, who was completely ignored, said: "..."
So why did the boss ask him to bring it up?!
He could obviously come down and answer it himself.
But thinking of the two bags of hand-shredded rabbit, Luo Laosan swallowed his saliva and hurried down to avoid them being eaten up by the beasts!!!
——
Xie Muchi is a responsible coach, and Ji Yang had experienced this in his previous life.
She had gained so much in just one month, all thanks to his generosity and his very tiring training methods. Therefore, in this life, Ji Yang had high expectations for the opportunity to practice with her again.
Of course he did not disappoint her expectations and he set up a training room directly. There were charcoal basins in the four corners. The temperature in the room was not low and there were training mats on the floor to ensure that it would not hurt if she fell.
Then do warm-up exercises together.
After moving his hands and feet, he said, "Attack me with all your strength first and see how you perform."
Ji Yang nodded, and without further ado, he took three or two steps forward and punched him in the face, but Xie Muzhi also reacted quickly, dodging with his head, and then he kicked him with a whip kick...
The two were extremely serious during their sparring. Ji Yang knew Xie Muchi's strengths and did not hold back, trying every possible way to win.
This was also the obsession of the previous life.
In her previous life, she was beaten for a month and she never fought back successfully.
Now she is not starving or overexerting herself. She has adequate nutrition, three meals a day, and has been exercising for almost a year. She is in peak condition. Maybe she can win?
Twenty minutes later, Ji Yang was found by Xie Muchi and kicked. She blocked it with her hands, but was still beaten back by the force and finally fell to the ground. She comforted herself that it was okay, even if she couldn't win with fists, she still had a bunch of weapons in the space that were ready to be fired at any time. If she really encountered trouble, she could just take them out and make a rocket launcher to jump over.
Xie Muzhi alone can’t beat her!
A familiar big hand appeared before my eyes.
Ji Yang lazily reached over and was lifted up by the other party before he could even exert any strength.
Xie Muzhi handed her a glass of water, and when he saw her drinking it, he praised her, "Not bad, but the moves are a bit messy."
Ji Yang glanced at him.
This line is wrong.
After beating her down in the previous life, Xie Muzhi looked down at her and said, "How is it? Am I qualified to be your coach?"
He acts like he's worth two or five million.
Especially asking for a beating.
Xie Muzhi was panicked by this look. Did he say something wrong? He added: "It's really good. After all, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. I have been practicing for more than 20 years. If I were really caught up by you in these few years, I would have to confess to my ancestors."
"It's okay." Ji Yang waved his hand: "I know my ability, take a break and continue practicing."
Xie Muzhi shut up silently.
Two minutes later, the two continued to practice sparring, but this time it was not as intense as before. Instead, they fought for a while and then stopped. Xie Muzhi guided her to improve her movements, and then she repeated the movements, and then continued to practice sparring, repeating the process.
It was not until three hours later that Ji Yang reached his limit.
Normally she would train for three hours, but would occasionally extend the time depending on her condition. However, the intensity of sparring and training was completely different, so she still gritted her teeth and after three hours, her whole body felt limp.
Her muscles were so sore that she just wanted to teleport back to bed.
Xie Muzhi: "How about I massage your muscles to relieve it?"
Ji Yang was surprised: "You also know this trick?"
Xie Muzhi: "My family runs a martial arts school."
I remembered that they were professionals, so I immediately said politely, "Thank you."
Xie Muchi curled the corners of his lips, sat casually beside her and reached out his hand. Although the temperature in the room was not low, both of them were dressed warmly for sparring. Through a layer of not-so-thin clothes, the man held one of her legs, pinched the muscles tentatively first, and after confirming the position, he applied force with his hand.
Ji Yang:!
It hurts so much!
So sour!
Caught off guard, Ji Yang felt extremely painful, his whole body twisted into a knot, and he rolled into the arms of a man next to him.
Xie Muchi's eyelids twitched, and he was so startled that he let go and caught it.
When Ji Yang came to her senses, she was already lying in Xie Muchi's arms, with his left arm still around her waist.
Deathly silence.
They both froze, not knowing how to react. After a while, Ji Yang silently rolled back and landed on the mat. Then he said, "You were a bit too heavy-handed."
"...I'm sorry." Xie Muzhi's Adam's apple moved, and his voice was slightly hoarse. "I have only pressed like this on a few of my senior brothers, and I didn't control the strength. How about I try again?"
Ji Yang was about to refuse, but when he looked up, he saw that the fair and tender face of the person in front of him had turned red at some point, and his short hair could not cover anything, so that his red ears and red neck were revealed.
But a pair of eyes were staring at her, and the deep and bright pupil color seemed to reveal a hint of flattery?
Male beauty is seductive.
Ji Yang is also obsessed with looks. After a few seconds, she nodded: "Okay, let's try again."
Xie Muchi breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, grasped the calf in front of him again, squeezed it tentatively again, and then increased the strength slightly, looking at the owner of the leg from time to time. Seeing that she looked normal, he continued to increase the strength.
If the muscle massage is too light, it will be ineffective; but if it is too heavy, it is also not good and will easily injure the muscles, leaving bruises on the legs.
Until Ji Yang's brows began to frown slightly, Xie Muchi increased the pressure again, controlling the force to soften the tense muscles in her calves after training.
Then the other leg...
Ji Yang endured the discomfort and replayed the feeling of the sparring session just now in his mind over and over again to divert his attention.
The massage didn't take long, but when it was over, both of them were sweating profusely, and the air seemed to have become much thicker. When they looked up, their eyes met, and they both looked away uncomfortably.
At this time, Luo Laosan's voice came from outside the door: "Boss! The hot water is almost dried up, haven't you finished practicing yet?"
A noise broke the silence of the practice room.
Xie Muzhi stood up and said in a deep voice, "I asked Luo Laosan to boil some hot water. You are sweating and can't get cold right away. You can wipe yourself first. Do you have any spare clothes? Or should I go get a set? I guarantee they are all new."
Ji Yang really didn't expect this, but he immediately said, "No, I brought it."
She changed to another hiking bag, the same style but brand new. It could hold a lot of things, and it was no problem to put some clothes in it.
Xie Muzhi nodded: "I'll go get you some water."
Then he put on his winter clothes and went out.
Soon, the sound of two people talking outside was heard, followed by the sound of a door closing, and then it became quiet. Luo Laosan probably went out. Ji Yang also put on his clothes with weak hands and feet, and went to the bathroom under the guidance of Xie Muchi.
The moment the door closed, Ji Yang saw his red face in the mirror.
——
Taking a shower is quite troublesome, but if you don’t take a shower, you will be sweating all over, and the cold wind of minus 50 or 60 degrees Celsius will directly freeze onto your body.
Fortunately, Xie Muchi's bathroom was also quite large, and there was also a charcoal basin and a pot of boiling hot water that could be added at any time.
Ji Yang was not a picky person. She had lived through a difficult past life, so she just took a bath.
When she came out, she could already smell some fragrance.
It was the meaty smell she liked.
There were sizzling sounds in the kitchen. Xie Muchi, with his perfect figure, was standing in the kitchen, wearing an apron and cooking seriously. There were also a lot of noises coming from downstairs. When he went to the balcony to take a look, he saw Xixi pushing a box towards the car.
She wanted to practice martial arts and was worried that Xixi would be bored, so she put it on the first floor.
It's rare to see a pet like this these days. Xixi has a gentle temperament. Although it's a little big, it's very hardworking. Its working dog nature makes it willing to help with anything it sees. The people downstairs are also happy to see it, and they keep saying, "Xixi, come and get this."
Xixi immediately ran over, picked up a bag of things and handed it over.
"The salt and pepper spare ribs are ready. Come and try them and see how they taste." Xie Muchi's voice rang out. When Ji Yang came back to his senses, he saw a serving of fragrant spare ribs on the table.
The man was still holding a spatula in his hand, with a faint smile on his handsome face. After saying something, he did not disturb her and went back into the kitchen.
Looks like I’m in for another treat today!
Ji Yang took a look at the bag of bananas, dragon fruits, lychees, etc. that he had brought with him. Well, that should be enough to repay the favor. Now that we are lacking in vitamins and have difficulty going to the toilet, bananas and dragon fruits are both very suitable things.
She picked this one on purpose.
As Ji Yang was thinking, he had already walked over to the dining table. He picked up a piece of pork ribs and ate it. It was salty, tender, and a little spicy. It was very delicious!
After a while, a plate of stir-fried vegetables and a bowl of mushroom soup were served.
Finally, each person gets a portion of rice.
"Eat, don't be polite." Xie Muchi reminded.
Ji Yang nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't be polite. Don't be polite with the fruits either. Eat more."
He smiled: "Okay."
After a delicious meal, Ji Yang was about to say goodbye.
Xie Muzhi sent her off and asked, "Are you really not going to live in the base? It's safer there."
Ji Yang shook his head: "Let's talk about it later. Let's take a look first. I still like where I live now more."
Unless there were too many people to bother, she would be reluctant to leave until the flood was over.
As soon as I finished speaking, I arrived at the first floor and found that there were much fewer things on the first floor than before. In addition to what I saw on the balcony, I asked, "Are you moving out?"
Xie Muzhi nodded: "We have to follow the crowd, otherwise if we go too far, we will have to trade with others."
Ji Yang felt quite regretful, but this was only natural: "Then we should wait a little longer between transactions in the future."
Xie Muzhi said nothing.
He thought it wouldn't take that long...
When Xixi saw her master, she jumped over happily. She immediately smelled the aroma of food and rice on her clothes and looked at her accusingly.
Ji Yang coughed lightly: "Okay, okay, let's go back first."
Xie Muchi said he wanted to prepare food for the dog, but she refused. The dog was such a big eater, and she was embarrassed to let it go and tease others. She could only let it starve and feed it when she got back.
After moving two large bags of jade and the balance that he forgot to take last time, Ji Yang let Xixi climb on his back and drove away with it on his back.
He walked away very casually without even looking back.
Luo Laosan approached the man who had been standing by the door for a while and said faintly, "Come back to your senses!"
Xie Muzhi: "…something?"
His eyebrows were lowered and he looked unhappy.
Luo Laosan immediately became timid and said weakly, "Boss, I was thinking that Miss Ji has two bags of jade left with us. What should we do with them? How about I have someone send them to her as well?"
Xie Muzhi's eyes moved slightly, and his tone instantly became cheerful: "No, put it in my car first."
Luo Laosan curled his lips secretly, then said happily: "Boss, this Miss Ji has so many good things. I helped her maintain the car and fill up the gas. She brought me two hand-shredded rabbits. The rabbits are so delicious! You are her sparring partner. What did she bring you?"
"Hand-torn rabbit? Two?" Xie Muchi frowned, he only had fruit.
Luo Laosan was alert: "What are you doing? They've all eaten! Those animals have big appetites!"
Xie Muzhi: "A rabbit that just died, would you like to exchange it?"
Luo Laosan's eyebrows moved, and he was a little conflicted and hesitant.
Xie Muzhi: "Add two more pounds of tobacco and potatoes."
Luo Laosan gritted his teeth and said, "I only left two rabbit legs for my wife and child to try, one each. You know there are so many people in that group, and they were gone in one bite. I saved these with great difficulty, so I can only exchange them for one leg!"
Xie Muzhi: "Okay."
Luo Laosan immediately grinned happily, in fact he kept half of the rabbit!
This deal is really worthwhile~
