Chapter 52: Magnificent Aurora
Everyone looked out the window and actually saw countless colorful flickering lights.
The ever-changing mysterious light brings people a thrilling shock that cannot be described in words.
Everyone put on their clothes and unknowingly came to the outside of the RV, watching this thrilling scene in silence for a long time.
The aurora sometimes transformed into a cylinder, and sometimes turned into countless ribbons, jumping in the sky, as if countless light curtains surrounded them. After watching for a long time, they were completely immersed in the magic of nature and did not even feel the cold.
This magnificent scene was the first time Qin Muxue saw it.
But soon everyone felt something was wrong. "Why are there auroras here? Don't they only appear in the North Pole or the South Pole?"
Qin Muxue pondered, "The aurora is caused by the solar wind entering the magnetic field of the blue planet. This means that there is solar wind in the magnetic field here." This was also the explanation she had seen in a book before.
Qu Yanbai responded: "Natural disasters are happening frequently now. Disasters that were originally impossible to happen have happened. Now the appearance of the aurora is not so rare."
Indeed, even living things can mutate, let alone the chaotic magnetic field of the Blue Planet? This explanation makes sense.
"But this aurora is so beautiful. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, how would I have the chance to see such a magnificent scene? For a moment, I suspected that I had come to another world." Ding Manman raised her head and looked at the aurora in the sky, falling into countless reveries. No wonder so many people wanted to see the aurora before.
"Brother Qu, I want to see it from a higher perspective." Qu Yanbai picked up Wu You and put him on his neck. Although Wu You weighed several dozen kilograms, Qu Yanbai was muscular all over, so this weight was nothing to him.
Wu You tried to grab the auroras that were within reach with both hands, but found that they were actually very far away from them.
Baozhu and Zhenzhu were chasing each other wildly in the snow. At this moment, everyone forgot their worries and was immersed in the beautiful scenery.
Shi Yan looked at Qin Muxue beside him. It would be really worth the trip if he could enjoy this scene with her. He was willing to stay in this moment forever.
Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived, and soon the scene disappeared.
Everyone huddled in the RV and cleaned up the dishes. The temperature outside seemed to have dropped a little.
Qin Muxue put down all the tables and chairs in the RV, so there were three beds at once, but how to allocate the sleeping spaces became a problem.
Wu You looked at the small space and volunteered, "Sister Qin, I'll sleep here. I'm smaller, so it won't be uncomfortable. But you can't turn over."
"Wu You, you are really sensible." She touched his head, and Wu You smiled embarrassedly, "This is what I should do."
Qin Muxue laid out the mattress. With several thick layers of thermal pads and a thick duvet, the small bed looked very warm. "Then you can sleep here tonight!"
"Thank you, Sister Qin. It's very comfortable." Wu You had already washed up and got into bed, feeling very warm.
Now there are two beds, which means Qin Muxue and Manman have to sleep together. It doesn’t matter if they sleep together, as they are best friends.
But I don’t know if those two grown men are willing to squeeze into one bed, and the windows here are relatively small, and it would definitely be very uncomfortable for two grown men to squeeze together.
Qin Muxue said to them embarrassedly: "Can you two squeeze in?"
Qu Yanbai looked at the small bed and felt troubled. Yan was not easy to get close to at first, and now it felt weird to sleep with him.
"It's okay, I'm not tired. You go to sleep. I don't plan to sleep." There must always be someone staying behind to keep watch so that if any danger occurs, it can be discovered in time.
Qu Yanbai felt even more embarrassed. He was actually very sleepy. Even if he had the best physical fitness, even a tough guy would get tired after going through this kind of work every day. This man actually said that he was not tired and did not plan to go to bed. Did he dislike him as a rough guy?
Qin Muxue also thought that Shi Yan was not used to it, but considering their genders, she really didn't know how to allocate the two beds.
"Otherwise, Qu Yanbai, you can sleep on the floor!" Qin Muxue scratched her head embarrassedly, "Shi Yan's health was not good before, and he might have a chronic illness. Let him sleep on the bed! You are strong and healthy, so it should be no problem for you to sleep on the floor for a night."
Who knew that Shi Yan just replied calmly, "I won't sleep, so let him have the bed."
Then he found a place to sit on the ground, leaning against the corner, as if he was resting his eyes.
Since that was the case, Qin Muxue had no choice but to let Qu Yanbai sleep on the bed. She and Manman were originally preparing to go to bed, but she was still a little worried about Shi Yan.
Qin Muxue took a thick quilt and carefully covered him with it. Unexpectedly, he opened his eyes immediately. Everyone else had already fallen asleep, but Qu Yanbai was still snoring evenly.
"Didn't you sleep? Actually, you don't have to be embarrassed. Qu Yanbai has a good temper."
"It's okay, I'm just closing my eyes and resting for a while. I'm not actually asleep." Shi Yan listened to the noises outside. In addition to the wind and snow, he was also listening carefully for any footsteps approaching.
"Thank you for keeping watch for us. It must be very hard to stay up all night, right?"
"I'm used to it." Recalling the days in the laboratory, when all kinds of chemicals were injected into his body, he would listen to the experimenter's footsteps every time.
He had taken too much drugs at that time and could not distinguish between reality and hallucination, but when he was awake he would think of Qin Muxue, and the scene when he fell in her arms before he died, and her tear fell on his cheek.
No one ever really pitied him or cared about him, except him.
And now, she was squatting in front of him alive, and that was enough.
Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps. Qin Muxue had very sensitive hearing. She leaned close to his ear and asked, "Is someone coming?"
Shi Yan nodded, hid vigilantly beside the door, and made a "hush" gesture.
Then he did not open the door, but gently opened the window and climbed out from the window. Qin Muxue quickly found a coat and put it on, then followed him.
After the aurora, it was pitch black outside. Qin Muxue could only see the situation outside clearly with night vision goggles. The cold wind was so strong that she was shivering.
I saw a sneaky figure not far away, and sure enough, there was someone outside.
Qin Muxue touched the crossbow on his body. This thing was more reliable for long-range shooting.
She pulled the crossbow and shot it towards the shadow, crying out "Ouch".
Qin Muxue turned on the flashlight, and the two of them came to the location where the shooting had just occurred. Unfortunately, there were only some bloodstains, but no one was seen. There was only a hole left on the ground.
Now Qin Muxue already knew who this person was. It must be Lai Liangjun, because only he could dig a hole on the ground.
"He has been hit by an arrow just now. He is injured and can't run far. Don't worry, I will stay here and won't let him hurt you." If he were to catch that man, he would be made to suffer a fate worse than death.
"But the temperature outside is too low. You will definitely get hypothermia if you stay outside all the time."
"It's okay. Didn't you just give me a warm down jacket? That's enough."
Since he insisted on doing so, Qin Muxue didn't want to force him, but she still got him a warm blanket and a hot water bottle, lit a stove for him, and wrapped Shi Yan up completely.
Shi Yan was a little amused, "I'm already warm now, it's getting late so you should go to bed."
He didn't feel cold, and what Qin Muxue did was simply unnecessary for him, but he still felt warm in his heart and didn't reject her kindness.
"Thank you for your hard work, Shi Yan."
Qin Muxue got into the RV and slept next to Manman. The quilt had been warmed up by Manman, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Thinking about going to the space to take a look, the piglets in the space farm seemed to have grown a little bigger. They had no worries about food and drink here. Qin Muxue gave them some corn cobs and other things again, hoping that the piglets would grow up quickly.
Then she went to look at the little rabbits. One of them seemed to have a big belly. Qin Muxue picked up the rabbit and took a look. It was a female rabbit and seemed to be pregnant. Thinking that little rabbits would be born soon, Qin Muxue felt a little excited.
Then I went to the planting area and took a look at the trees that were laden with fruits. If the fruits were not picked, they might rot on the trees.
Qin Muxue picked oranges, jelly oranges and other fruits from the trees, put them in boxes and placed them in the storage area.
There is no distinction between four seasons in this space, and all plants and fruits can grow normally. Qin Muxue looked at the purple and juicy grapes, picked those too, and put one in her mouth. It tasted very sweet and juicy, and was the most delicious grape she had ever eaten.
Then some vegetables were ripe, eggplants, tomatoes, green cabbage, and lettuce, and Qin Muxue picked them all.
After doing all this, her entire mental energy was exhausted. She drank some spiritual spring water as a replenishment, and soon she felt that her mental energy in the void had been replenished a lot.
After returning to reality, Qin Muxue finally felt a little sleepy. She closed her eyes and fell into a sleepy state.
During this time, she felt something pressing on her body. Qin Muxue vaguely thought that it must be Zhenzhu, the fat cat, who was getting fatter and fatter.
Shi Yan was standing guard at the door of the RV. He was not sleepy. He touched the hand warmer with a cat pattern in his hand and smiled unconsciously.
He stood up, casually observed the surrounding environment, carefully put the hand warmer aside, and wrapped himself in the quilt.
He quickly rushed towards a nearby snow-capped mountain. Standing on the high ground, he could observe the scene farther away. Shi Yan could still see the distant scene clearly in the dark. He saw that the snow pile about 500 meters away seemed to be a little loose. He moved in that direction without hesitation, and his speed was no less than that of the snow leopard he saw during the day.
There were obvious bloodstains on the loose snow. Shi Yan turned his hand into a sharp blade and stabbed it into the cold snow pile.
Soon a wet man appeared in the snow, crying and saying, "Please spare my life. I won't do it again."
Shi Yan asked coldly: "You are still moving around us, what is your intention?"
"No, no, I have no intentions?" Lai Liangjun hurriedly denied. In fact, he had been waiting for an opportunity, but the man and the woman in front of him were very perceptive. He stood in front of Shi Yan and only felt a strong oppressive force, without even raising his head.
In the darkness, he could only vaguely see his slender figure standing there motionless, and he had no idea what expression was on his face.
Shi Yan asked coldly: "Which hand did you use to touch her before?"
"Ah?" Lai Liangjun was a little confused. He didn't understand what he meant.
Seeing his confused expression, Shi Yan decided not to waste any more words and simply broke both of his hands. "If you don't know, both of your hands will be broken."
Lai Liangjun rolled in the snow, wailing. He really didn't know what Shi Yan meant. "I just want to get my snowmobile back... and go back to the shelter. I, I don't have any intention of hurting you. You know I can't beat you."
"It seems that you still don't know what you did wrong?" Shi Yan shook his head indifferently, without any expression on his face.
He just stretched out his hand and turned it into a sharp blade, which directly cut the opponent's neck...blood gushed out...
After finishing these, Shi Yan washed his hands, put on gloves, and walked slowly to the RV. He looked at the watch on his wrist. It was almost morning, and it was time to prepare breakfast for Qin Muxue.
The two leftover fish from last night were first steamed, and then the fish bones were removed. Ginger, onions and garlic were put into the pot and boiled until a milky white soup base was made. It was delicious even without adding any seasoning.
Then I fried a few eggs, stir-fried some broccoli and carrots, and made some simple seasoning.
Put the noodles into the fish soup and scoop them out after the soup boils.
Qin Muxue had just opened her eyes when she smelled a fragrance. She was so hungry that she wanted to get up. Sure enough, she found a heavy object pressing on her body and a pearl at her feet. She didn't know how she climbed up. There was a pearl on her belly and Manman had one leg on her.
Qin Muxue carefully broke free from the siege, followed the direction of the fragrance, and saw Shi Yan making breakfast.
"You're awake, come and have breakfast!"
The others were still asleep, but Qin Muxue was awakened by hunger. She ate more than the others and got hungry more easily. When she saw the bowl of milky noodles, she asked curiously, "What is this made of?"
"The fish meat is used to make the soup after the bones are removed. The fish meat has already melted into the soup."
Qin Muxue first picked up the bowl and took a sip. She was immediately healed by the taste. "Wow, so sweet."
