Chapter 136
"You really don't need Aning and I to take you down." Yun Jiu helped Xie Xingyue get off Yan Ning's back.
"No thanks. I've already troubled you a lot during this time." Xie Xingyue thanked them and looked at the other female insect standing beside her. "You live far from me and you have to take a detour to send me back. He lives closer to me and is just on the way."
Xie Xingyue's legs were broken. Although she saved her life and avoided the risk of infection after treatment, she also lost all the parts of her calves below the knees and completely lost the ability to walk.
Because of her mobility issues, no matter how much Xie Xingyue didn't want to cause them trouble, she couldn't do it in reality.
Whether in the dungeon or along the way, Yan Ning and Yun Jiu took care of him... Now that he has returned to Area 49, he feels even more embarrassed to continue to trouble Yan Ning and Yun Jiu.
"Is it a problem or not..." Yun Jiu was about to continue speaking when Yan Ning pulled the corner of his clothes. He sighed helplessly and changed the subject, "Okay, now that you've said that, what else can I say?"
"Wait until I go home, and then I'll come to see you when I have time."
Xie Xingyue curled her lips and said, "Okay."
After entering Area 49, all the female insects nodded to the familiar insects around them, said hello, and then dispersed.
They were all worried about their families. Although Yan said that they were helping their families from outside, it was still hard to feel at ease without seeing it with their own eyes.
Everything seemed to be over, but they all knew in their hearts... the turmoil caused by their appearance, who were supposed to be buried in the mine, had just begun.
Unlike them who were eager to go home, Yan, Lan Yi, Luo Shen and the others were not so anxious. They walked slowly on the way home... and then, before they reached home, they were stopped by a familiar female insect.
"How did you get back with them? Do you know why they're okay? How did they survive?"
The barrage of questions completely undaunted Yan, who had been mentally prepared. Following the prepared speech, Yan said, "We ran into them by accident. They said they stumbled upon an abandoned mine entrance while buried underground, and accidentally left the buried area."
"We don't know the specific situation. If you want to know, go ask them yourself."
When Yan said this, he tilted his head and said to Zhou Xing, "Let's check the food stored at home later. If it's not enough, come to me and get some."
"I won't go out today unless something unexpected happens."
In their hands were the 'trophies' of their 'night away'. The large gray rat, which had died cleanly, was lifted up in their hands, as light as if they were not carrying anything heavy.
The female insect who was listening nearby asked, "Do you want to change more? My family wants to change some more to make jerky."
"Change, of course."
"You all know I'm the only one in my family, so I can't finish all the food." Yan smiled cheerfully and said, "Just wait for me to deal with it. If you want to change it, you can come over this afternoon."
…
Yun Jiu ran home in a hurry, and when he saw his grandfather in the house, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked in at a slower pace.
"Grandpa, I'm back."
Their family's situation is better than those female insects who have only one pillar of support in their families. After all, he has two elders and seven brothers. Even if he really dies in the mine, there will be no one to take care of his grandfather.
The elderly female insect, who was in a light sleep with her eyes closed, heard the familiar voice and opened her eyes in disbelief. "Is that Xiaojiu? Are you back?"
"It's me, Grandpa—"
"I'm back."
…
"Thank you for taking me back." Xie Xingyue supported herself with two wooden sticks carved into the shape of crutches. "This place is not far from my home. I can go back by myself."
The female insect being thanked hesitated for a moment and said, "Then be careful."
After being in the dungeon for half a month, Xie Xingyue had already gotten used to walking with a cane. After saying goodbye to the other party, she limped towards her home.
He didn't really look forward to going home.
If possible, Xie Xingyue would actually prefer to stay in the underground city rather than at home where he is alone... The teacher who teaches him carefully and does not despise his disability, as well as the new knowledge, make him reluctant to leave.
More than ten minutes later.
Xie Xingyue supported himself with a crutch while pushing the stone slab blocking the door with his hands. He stopped only after he had barely created a gap for him to slip in sideways. During this time, he was gasping for breath while leaning on his crutches, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.
...I am really useless.
Xie Xingyue thought bitterly that her physique had been inferior to that of ordinary female insects since birth. Now that she had lost her legs, even this little thing had become more difficult. She didn't know what to do in the future.
He squeezed sideways into the house, then skillfully walked to a corner and used a wooden stick to carve out a mining lamp.
The star power in the star stone in the mining lamp had long been lost, and it only lit up again after he replenished it a little.
The house wasn't big and didn't have much in it. It looked a bit empty under the light... It seemed like no bugs had come to my house during this period of time. The food I had hidden earlier should still be there...
Xie Xingyue walked over to the side and counted the food he had hidden before leaving. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that none of it was missing. With these foods, at least he wouldn't have to worry about food in the short term.
Need to clean the house.
Xie Xingyue thought about picking up the wooden bucket in the corner and getting some water while the river was still fresh. Otherwise, when the weather got cold and the river froze, it would be even more difficult for her to get water in her current situation.
**
Good morning, Your Excellency.
The daytime temperature today is 6-7°C. Puppies have limited resistance to cold weather and can easily catch a cold if they are not dressed warmly enough. If you need to take your pup out, please add more clothes.
When he woke up in the morning, he heard A0's voice. The confusion on Qi Heng's face quickly faded away, and his expression became clear.
There is no response to A0.
He dressed and washed up in an orderly manner, and only woke up Yan Le after he was done. After a busy period, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
Just as he was staring at Yan Le eating breakfast, A0 spoke again.
[Your Excellency, the Chief Archon has sent a message that all the female insects in the dungeon have already departed.]
[Also, the forum is going very smoothly. The General Governor distributed 316 communicators, and 316 people have logged in...]
Qi Heng wiped Yan Le's hands and asked: "Well, was there any accident?"
[No, everything is going according to your plan.]
[Using the QW-1 network system and the high-altitude drone monitoring system, a total of 709 missions of various levels have been generated in the mission library. We are currently searching for suitable targets to distribute them...]
"Uncle Qi, I'm done eating--" Yan Le raised his head and gave him a big smile.
"Are you full?"
"Yeah, I'm full." Yan Le jumped up from the small stool, took his hand and shook it, saying, "Uncle Qi, can I go out and play today?"
Qi Heng thought of the news that Yan Ning and the others had already left and would be back soon, so he said to Yan Le, "You can only play at the door, not too far away."
"And remember to put on your clothes and scarf..."
"I know." Yan Le jumped happily twice, grabbed the small scarf that Yun Jiu brought him yesterday with his little hands, and ran out of the house cheering.
