Invade the World

  Chapter 229 Visitors

  The rain continued until late at night.

  The sky above his head went from a hazy and gloomy to a completely invisible darkness.

  They couldn't get out of this temple, so they had to stay in this ruined temple. By eight o'clock in the evening, Xu Xiangyang finally gave up his illusions and began to think about how to deal with the past tonight.

  First of all, accommodation.

  They have no other place to run, so they can only stay in the temple, and choose a place for one night.

  The corners and corners of this abandoned old temple are covered with cobwebs, but the internal structure of the temple is very complete; Xu Xiangyang also saw expired food on the altar table, which may have been left by the nearby elderly.

  It means that people still come here occasionally, but not frequently. With this in mind, Xu Xiangyang looked around and found a broom and a bucket behind the door.

After that, they first became secondary volunteers and cleaned up all the ground nearby; they also found a few futons and discarded the leather bags used for decoration. The inside was actually dried rice and bamboo shoots husks woven with rope. It is not easy to get dirty, and it can be used after dusting off the dust; in addition, everyone in their travel bag carries a large towel and cushion for barriers, which is more than enough for lying down.

  Aunt Guo even brought a sleeping bag. I don’t know if it was expected to happen.

   Judging from the gossip heart shown in the hotel that day, the aunt is not a type who is very good at observing words and feelings. However, she deliberately placed the sleeping bag at a distance from the young people.

  It may be because they feel that they are too far apart and have no common language, or because their "performance" in the room that night left a too deep impression on her, in order to avoid encountering similar things again, they chose to leave.

  ...No, Xu Xiangyangwang felt embarrassed to the floor when he thought about it, so he decided not to think about it.

  After preparing the temporary bed, the second remaining question is -

   "There is still water. Save a little bit to deal with it tonight. It's really impossible to use the water from the nearby mountain spring reservoir. The question is, what should I do for dinner?"

  Xu Xiangyang thought again:

   "Hungry for a meal, shouldn’t it matter?"

  However, he can feel that it doesn't matter if he is a boy, but the girls don't know.

  To be more precise, Xingjie should be fine, and the only thing left is whether Miss Qingyue can get used to...

  He was going to ask.

  At this time, Xu Xiangyang noticed that they were no longer there.

The miserable wind whistled in the dim temple; the Buddha statue sitting in the middle of the temple quietly fell silent in the dark. Turning on the flashlight can only illuminate half of the face with peeling copper paint, adding a little to the expression of benevolence. Divide the weird atmosphere.

   "Auntie Guo, where are the two of them?"

"have no idea."

  The other party replied dullly.

   "It's gone in the blink of an eye."

  Xu Xiangyang looked at her expressionless face and found that this person seemed to be really difficult to get along with.

  He shook his head and ignored him. He walked to the gate of the temple and looked around. He hadn't seen half of the ghost; then he took a circle along the concrete steps under the eaves of the corridor, but still no one was found.

  Only the raindrops crackling on the tiles and wooden boards, and the silver filaments dripping from the door are densely woven.

   He sighed and sat down at the door, leaning his shoulders against the door beside him, waiting for the two to come back, staring at the rain in a daze, and soon fell into a kind of half-dream and half-awake coma.

  ……

"I'm back."

  Xu Xiangyang, who was sitting on the threshold, was awakened by a familiar voice.

  He raised his head and found that Lin Xingjie and Zhu Qingyue were standing under the eaves, and their girlfriends were condescending, looking down at him in surprise.

  When Xu Xiangyang was about to get up, he realized that his **** was already sitting aches, and when he stood up, he felt a pain in his waist and back.

   "What did you do?"

  He couldn't help but scolded, frowning.

   "With such heavy rain outside, you are not afraid of getting wet..."

   Just halfway through what he said, he quickly understood and he sighed.

   "Super powers are really convenient."

  Obviously, they were out of the door, but there was no trace of water on their bodies, and they were still dry and tidy.

   "If we weren't afraid of being discovered by others, we wouldn't get wet at all when we were on the road."

   Lin Xingjie answered in a low voice.

   "What about when you are in the water?"

  The squad leader on the side blinked and said with a smile.

   "Swimming and playing in the water is to make your clothes wet. If you use your ability to separate it, it would be so boring."

  The girlfriend nodded slightly and agreed.

   "So, what did you do?"

  When Xu Xiangyang asked, his eyes fell on her hand.

   Lin Xingjie lifted up a group of wet things, and answered with a smile.

  "Go hunting. Look, I found it by a nearby lake. Can you eat it?"

  He squinted his eyes to recognize it, and after a while, he said in an unconvincing tone:

   "It looks like a wild duck, it should be no problem..."

   "Hey, it must be okay. It's not a fish. Some can eat some and some can't. After digging out the innards of this kind of livestock, it is game."

  Zhu Qingyue smiled and stretched out her hand to push him, and walked into the temple door on her own.

   "Like the life of a knight, right?"

  Lin Xingjie, who followed behind, also smiled, and seemed to be looking forward to it.

  Xu Xiangyang covered his forehead with a headache.

  Several high school students living in the city, still learning from the ancient people camping and eating, really panicked.

   "Don't look at people eating in the martial arts drama and feel chic, what should we do later?"

  "We hunted, of course you did the duck."

  The girlfriend's answer was taken for granted.

  There is no oil or salt here, I am afraid it is difficult for clever women to cook without rice...

   "It must be delicious!"

  "Do you dare to make a request."

  Xu Xiangyang glared at her.

   "How can I be delicious? Am I not enough in my usual craftsmanship?"

"Ok……"

  His original intention was to mock, but she really looked down and started thinking, then her eyes lit up and she tried to explain:

   "Can you be called a chicken? It's the kind that Huang Rong gave Guo Jing and Hong Qigong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!"

  "First of all, this is a duck, you can't make a chicken; secondly...you want to be beautiful."

  Such an outrageous request, Xu Xiangyang naturally refused without hesitation.

   "Hey~ can't you try it?"

  The long-haired girl puffed her cheeks, grabbed his arm, and started to shake her coquettishly.

   Not far from the squad leader, a pair of sly eyes were rolling around. Xu Xiangyang guessed that she was probably thinking about whether to come closer and do the same act of coquettish—or “coercion”.

  He couldn't help but sighed.

  It’s been quiet for a while, and the two restless girls started to quarrel again, and they can deal with it casually. It’s just a night’s effort to get hungry...

   "No seasoning, no fire, what do you tell me to do?"

   "I'll make a fire!"

   Lin Xingjie volunteered to raise her arm, but Xu Xiangyang didn’t have time to stop, so she ran away.

  A few minutes later, the girl returned with a pile of firewood.

  Fortunately, Lin Xingjie still has some common sense of life. Instead of getting firewood that got wet in the rain, she made it with door panels.

  Although there are no tools to chop wood, as long as you use super powers to destroy a pass, it is easy to get fuel.

  The advantage of living in modern society is that at least they don’t have to learn from the ancients, because the squad leader next to them has already taken out the lighter at the right time.

  The two had been busy for a long time, and finally a small bonfire rose on the cold temple floor.

  Zhu Qingyue was overjoyed and directly used the lid of Xu Xiangyang’s super large thermos as a water cup without his consent, and placed it on it for heating.

  ……

  Xu Xiangyang looked at the wild duck in his hand, frowning his eyebrows.

  When she said this, he was still touched in his heart.

  It’s just that, although he has been responsible for cooking at home and developed a culinary skill, he has never had a picnic experience.

Xu Xiangyang recalled the martial arts novels he had read in junior high school. He remembered that Huang Rong’s method was to wrap the chicken with water and a mass of mud and light a fire; It fell from the mud, the chicken was white and tender, and the aroma was fragrant..."

  He walked out of the temple.

  At this time, the heavy rain is pouring, and the ancient temple is on the mountain forest road. The mud is not hard to find. It can be said that there are muddy puddles everywhere.

but……

  Xu Xiangyang looked at a piece of muddy mud water, really couldn't get off this hand.

  He had to sigh, and walked back again, giving up the idea of ​​"calling a chicken". Just make a barbecue, shouldn't it be a problem?

The work of washing and peeling off the viscera was very easy for Xu Xiangyang. After that, he used a sharpened wooden pipe to penetrate it from one end and bake it on the campfire.

  A bright flame burned in the center of the dim temple, illuminating the red faces of the girls. The light in their pupils couldn't tell whether it was excitement or reflected pulsating firelight.

  Xu Xiangyang didn’t expect any food. Modern people’s mouths are destined to be unable to adapt to food without seasoning.

  ……

  It rained quietly at night, and the wind blew over the temple "whooping", blowing the bright light of the bonfire into chaos, sparks scattered, and the silhouettes of people on the walls swayed, rose or fell.

  The three people sat together with their knees hugged, chatting quietly. Xingjie occasionally stretched out her hand to spin the barbecue on the stick, just like it was on the TV.

  Xu Xiangyang suddenly felt that the atmosphere was very good, and gradually didn't care about food.

  After a while, the faint fragrance will diffuse.

   "Would you like to eat it?"

  Zhu Qingyue couldn't help reaching out her hand, trying to touch the meat on the campfire, and then she was scalded unsurprisingly, cried out for pain, and began to **** her fingers.

  Xu Xiangyang took out the fruit knife he brought with him, cut a slice on it and handed it to her.

  The squad leader carefully put the piece of meat into his mouth and chewed it, and a delicate face suddenly wrinkled.

  He couldn't help laughing.

   "...It's so unpalatable." Zhu Qingyue stuck out her tongue, "The meat is awful and tasteless."

   "Let me just say it."

  Xu Xiangyang sighed, and when he wanted to complain, he found that his foot was kicked.

  The girlfriend is staring at him diagonally from the corner of her eyes, without saying anything, but her eyes are sharp.

  He was taken aback for a moment, and finally reacted promptly, and quickly cut another piece of meat for her.

  ... Then it was Lin Xingjie’s turn to "Bah Bah Bah".

  Why is this? Xu Xiangyang held back his smile very hard, he still saved a little face for his girlfriend, and he didn't really laugh out loud.

   "What should I do, it's a pity, it's obviously the result of the first hunting..."

  Zhu Qingyue murmured.

   "You have no appetite now." Xu Xiangyang was happy and relaxed, "We will go to bed early tonight, get up early tomorrow, and be able to go down the mountain early in the morning. I guess the rain will stop until midnight..."

  At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the direction of the entrance of the temple, and they looked in that direction at the same time.

   "Good smell."

  A curly-haired man sucked his nose vigorously, and walked into the temple door wrapped in moisture.

   is still someone they know.

  Wei reporter turned his head and smiled at the man behind him and said:

   "Brother Li, it's getting late, should we stop here again?"

Standing behind him is a middle-aged man, not tall but burly, with lush and messy hair and shaggy beard. He wore a crumpled blue work uniform as if he hadn't been washed for a long time. At first glance, others thought he was a stray. Chinese.

Seeing that he did not speak, the reporter smiled and persuaded:

  "It's not easy to go to the hotel, look..."

  The middle-aged man's pupils revealed deep exhaustion, and he answered a word briefly.

"good."

  Wei reporter turned his head and saw Xu Xiangyang's three people, and their eyes suddenly brightened.

   "Oh, I didn't expect to meet everyone here!"

  He came over to say hello enthusiastically.

   "You are here to hide from the rain, too?"

   "Yes. I didn't expect it to rain heavily as soon as I returned from the reservoir, and it rained from the afternoon until late at night."

   Xu Xiangyang asked rhetorically.

"and you?"

   "It's the same. I went to a place and turned around, but I couldn't keep up with the big troops."

   "Then this is..."

  His eyes turned to the man in workmanship.

  "I met on the road. He is... well, living near this place. His surname is Li." The reporter Wei laughed, "This old brother and I hit it off."

  The man surnamed Li noticed the young man’s eyes and squeezed his lips to give Xu Xiangyang a reluctant smile. After seeing the meat on the campfire, he walked over and took out a bottle from his pocket and asked hoarsely.

   "Do you want it?"

  Xu Xiangyang took it and took a look and found it was a salt shaker.

"thanks."

  He nodded politely, cut a few cuts in the barbecue with a knife, and sprinkled salt.

   "Can I have something?"

  After obtaining consent, reporter Wei was not polite with them, and directly tore his leg off, gobbled a few mouthfuls, and gave them a thumbs up.

   "It tastes good!"

  Xu Xiangyang tried it, and the salt was sprinkled with different consequences. Although the taste was still very simple, the smell of the meat was stimulated, at least not as difficult to swallow as just now.

  "This one may not be enough. I will go outside to see if there is any more."

  The middle-aged man smiled at them, ignoring reporter Wei's dissuasion, and turned around and left.

  ……

   Ten minutes later, there was another messy footsteps at the entrance of the temple.

  More than one or two came this time, but there were five or six men and women, and foreigners. The only thing in common was that they all wore a black windbreaker.

  Xu Xiangyang narrowed his eyes and glanced at each other with the two girls.

  The moment these people approached the temple, they felt the breath of evil spirits.
