After the fog, I became a birdman

Ping ping pong!

A pale yellow cat jumped down from the cabinet, several vases swayed and bumped into each other, clucking and moving towards the edge, almost fell to the ground.

"Stupid cat! Go back to your room if you jump around again!"

With a gloomy face, Qi Jiang came out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife and half a rabbit in his hand, staring at the cat squatting on the carpet licking its paws and pretending to be innocent with a murderous expression.

Su Qing came out of the study, looked at Qi Jiang at the door of the kitchen, and looked at the mountains on the ground, and always felt that there were familiar sparks buzzing in the air among one person and one cat.

He chuckled silently, shook his head and straightened the vase on the cabinet.

"Meow~" Shan Shan jumped to Su Qing's feet, rubbed his calf, and climbed up while grabbing Su Qing's pants in front of Qi Jiang.

call out!

A cardboard box was thrown over, the seal was facing the cat, and she was packed in it at once. The box continued to fly forward, fell to the ground and slid for a certain distance.

After a while, Shan Shan, who had not had time to dodge, lay on the top of the box with wide cat eyes and exposed his head. He shook his head a little bit disorientated, and bared his teeth at Qi Jiang when he saw Qi Jiang.

"How many times have I said it? Don't run to Susu in front of me." Qi Jiang showed a fierce look, "Also, next time you make trouble for me, clean up the room by yourself, don't always let your father Wipe your ass."

"Meow meow." Got it.

Shanshan shrank back into the box with guilt, the meow came from inside, Qi Jiang snorted softly, put his gaze on Su Qing, and his expression immediately became gentle: "Susu, don't spoil her too much, this one The stupid cat did it on purpose, next time she messes up the house, let her clean it up herself."

With Shanshan's skill, how can he touch a vase even when he drills into a cabinet?Just kidding.

"She's messing around with you." Su Qing shook her head with a smile. It's not the first day that Shanshan loves Qi Jiang, he's already used to this way of getting along with one person and one cat.

Qi Jiang walked over and patted off some cat hairs on Su Qing's trouser legs: "You go back to the study and do your own work, dinner will take a while."

He went in to continue cooking, when the sound of cutting vegetables came, Su Qing whispered a signal towards the cardboard box: "Meow~"

call out!

Maotou stretched out the cardboard box again, carefully glanced at the kitchen, made sure that Qi Jiang's voice of chopping vegetables hadn't changed, and followed Su Qing into the study with confidence.

In the kitchen, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Qi Jiang's mouth, and he put the meat on the cutting board into a basin for later use, and marinated it with seasoning.

The smell of rice slowly wafted out, and in the wind and snow, a golden eagle landed in front of the small cliff with howling, threw the snow rabbit with its paws full to the window, then turned and flew to the backyard.

The weather outside is minus [-] or [-] degrees, the prey will be frozen after a while, and it has to be thawed when it is eaten. Qi Jiang immediately wiped his hands and went out to collect the prey before returning to continue cooking.

There is also a lot of snow today, and there are hardly any gaps between the snowflakes. Jinjin shook her wings in the backyard with difficulty. He was very helpless.

If it wasn't because Su Qing and the others had been away for too long, Jin Jin really missed his father, and would not have left his lair in this weather.

The same is true for Shanshan, usually having fun in the Fengcheng base, and when Su Qing comes back after going out for more than ten days, she finally knows what it is to go home, and yesterday Su Qing took Shanshan to Fengcheng base for class, and asked him what he wanted? She shook her head when she didn't want to stay.

This made her father very happy.

In the three or four days since Su Qing and the others came back, the two children were very fond of home, and Jin Jin also came over for dinner every night.

In the house, Su Qing, who heard Jin Jin's cry, subconsciously took the cat to the backyard to open the door. Seeing the big golden eagle blocking the door, he waved quickly: "Don't shake, come in, it's too cold outside."

"Aww~"

Jin Jin moved in little by little, lowered his head and rubbed Su Qing's hand, and shook his body after he left the room, shaking all the white snow on the ground, but he couldn't clean the snow, he could only trouble Dad Come clean up.

"Aww~" he yelled towards the door guiltily.

"It's okay, Dad is here to sweep, you can go play with your sister." Su Qing came in with a broom to sweep the floor without hesitation, and Jin Jin followed Shanshan to the front yard.

After going out for a trip, Qi Jiang felt that it was better to be at home. Although his sense of territory made him want to drive all creatures except him and Su Qing out of his territory, after experiencing Huang Bo's incident and the separation from Qi Shu , both he and Su Qing cherish the time spent with their families more than before.

In the past few days, Qi Jiang has removed several partition walls from the small cliff, and remodeled the backyard. The house looks much more spacious than before, but Jin Jin can walk around the house even if he is twice as big. , unlike before being trapped in one's own room by doors or corridors.

In the backyard, after sweeping the floor, Su Qing poured the snow into the trash can, put away the broom and went to the front yard. Seeing the two children in the living room looking up into the kitchen, he couldn't help but smile.

He stuck his head in like two children, and asked questions for them with a smile. "Uncle Qi, what's for dinner tonight?"

"Dried snow rabbit and fried snow rabbit meat." Qi Jiang took a deep look at him, "No spicy food tonight."

Su Qing: ... If you don't let it go, you won't let it go.

He blushed and snorted softly, feeling that the snow would increase tomorrow, and fearing that he would forget later, he told Jin Jin: "Jin Jin, there will be heavy snow these two days, you should stay at home, Don't go hunting."

"Aoooooooooooo!"

In fact, Su Qing and the others mentioned two days ago that Jin Jin would not need to pay for food, and also said that he would go home whenever he wanted, and he didn't need to hunt twice the size of the prey every time.

Since then, Jinjin still went hunting every day, but what she hunted was her favorite snow rabbit, which led to more and more rabbit meat at home, and their recipes are also like this these days.

Fortunately, the snow rabbit meat is really delicious. Qi Jiang cooks different tastes and dishes every day, so he won't get tired of it.

In the evening, everyone had dinner together, and Jinjin had a big food bowl alone, and she groaned and enjoyed while eating. It sounded very happy and enjoyed a lot.

Shanshan eats much more elegantly than him, but she eats faster than usual, because every night it is the reason why Qi Jiang cooks the spoon and Xuetu cooks so deliciously. She doesn't dare to choke on Qi Jiang these days. She bared her teeth and quarreled with him a little, she didn't fight with him like before, she was much more obedient and obedient in front of him than before.

After Su Qing finished eating, he held the soup bowl and sipped the soup. Looking at the heavy snow outside the window, he couldn't help sighing: "It's better to be at home."

Although Seventh Uncle's place is also good, but it is not as comfortable as my own home.

Shan Shan drank the soup by himself after eating, and Jin Jin stared straight at the soup pot, but he couldn't drink it by himself.

Qi Jiang scooped up a bowl of hot soup and stirred it cold with a spoon: "This snow is like a blizzard every day."

"This would have been a huge snowstorm in the past." Su Qing smiled and shook his head, "If it was the snowstorm we are talking about now, it would have been a catastrophe before."

To be honest, previous mega-blizzards and today's weather simply pale in comparison.

In previous blizzards, at least things could be seen inside the house, even if it was a huge blizzard, there were still gaps between the snowflakes, but in the current blizzard, no trees were broken, no avalanches were caused, and the remaining stones and other things on the ground were not destroyed. It's not a blizzard if it blows away and doesn't bury buildings.

The blizzard in Gaocheng before could be said to be the smallest level, and it also caused an avalanche, but the air-raid shelter mountain was not high enough, so the avalanche was the same as if there was no avalanche, but the mountains in the distance were not so lucky.

The two of Su Qing also encountered a snowstorm on the way back to Fengcheng. At that time, the avalanche swept across an area of ​​thousands of kilometers. If someone who could not fly passed by, it would be difficult to survive this catastrophe.

Speaking of avalanches, Qi Jiang thought of the avalanches in the snow-free mountains caused by their voices when they came back: "In the future, the snow will be getting deeper and deeper, I'm afraid we won't be able to use sound waves easily."

Su Qing also thought of the big commotion that day, and he still has some fears: "Fortunately, it's in my own home. If there are people living around, I'm afraid I'll make a big mistake."

Qi Jiang nodded slightly, poured the no longer hot soup into Jin Jin's mouth, and scooped some bones for him and put them in his bowl: "Do you want more soup?"

Jin Jin smacked his lips, nodded slightly, and Qi Jiang continued to serve the young master.

After eating and drinking enough, Qi Jiang and Su Qing packed up their things, and the two children went to the backyard to play by themselves. Their relationship has warmed up very quickly in the past few days, and they would play a game of "hide and seek" after dinner every day.

Although Su Qing didn't know what the fun of this game was, the two children really had a great time playing, and Jin Jin, who often lost, was even more excited than Shan Shan.

In the kitchen, Qi Jiang was washing the dishes, while Su Qing took out the roasted rabbit meat from the stove, threw the tin foil into the trash can, and put away the roasted rabbit meat.

There are too many snow rabbits at home in the past few days. They made rabbit meat of various flavors and ways to prepare for unexpected needs.

After tidying up the kitchen, Su Qing took a walk in the living room, and took out their training plan by the way: "It's already the end of October, and this training will be over in about ten days."

In fact, if they hadn't been out for twelve days, this would have ended in less than November, but since it was delayed for twelve days, even if some of them could be guided remotely, it would still have to be postponed for a few days.

"You can give them practical training in the future." Qi Jiang pointed to the last item, "I can smell the snow monster in the wind. If the snow monster attacks the Fengcheng base, it will be a good time to take advantage of this war."

"There will be a blizzard in two days, and you'll know when the time comes." Su Qing said softly.

He also smelled the snow monsters in the wind, but he didn't know whether it was a few sporadic ones or a whole army. The former was a normal activity, while the latter was the same as that in Gaocheng.

However, the snow monsters are more powerful in winter, and after they discovered the weakness of this race when they went to kill the royal family snow monsters last time, they stopped paying attention to the snow monsters.

The snow monsters are the children of the storm, and the wind and snow can bless them, and their power also comes from the wind and snow. The bigger the wind and snow, and the more snow around them, the stronger their power, especially their defense, is what the snow monsters can only do. The root cause of infestation in snow mountains and snow seasons.

The defense of the Son of the Storm is impenetrable. The white hair and skin all over the body are designed to absorb the power of the wind and snow, but if they are sealed and the blessing of the wind and snow is cut off, then their white hair will no longer have the defensive effect. Iron bones will also become much weaker, and the overall defense ability will only be [-]% at most.

Because the weather was not bad when we went to the snow mountain last time, Qi Jiang and Su Qing guessed that under the snowstorm, the snow monster's defense ability will be strengthened even more, even if it is weakened, it will not be as ruthless as usual. It should also be the reason why the snow monster army only appears in the snowstorm area.

After they came back, they reminded Mr. Han to be careful of the snow monsters, and they didn't hide this weakness.

Although the defensive ability of [-]% is still very strong, as long as you are prepared, with the current state of Fengcheng base, it should only be more difficult than the siege of the beasts.

In the past two days, the Fengcheng base has been deploying troops and conducting exercises against the army of snow monsters. Even the mutants who live alone have moved back to the base.

It is not easy for people to survive until now. Everyone is very cautious and will not make fun of their own lives. They know very well that even if they know the weakness of the snow monster, ordinary people may not be able to fight the snow monster one-on-one.

What's more, the snow monster never acts alone.

The next day, the snowstorm really got bigger. Yesterday I could vaguely see Weifeng opposite in the snow when I looked out through the window. Now it was a vast expanse of whiteness, and I couldn’t see anything, so I pasted a piece of white paper on it. Same.

The room was as warm as spring, even a little hot. Su Qing was sitting on the sofa holding a cup of milk tea made by Qi Jiang, wearing only a short sleeve and loose casual cropped trousers.

The milk tea was served on ice, but Qi Jiang didn't add ice cubes because he was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he just chilled it through the cup for half an hour.

Su Qing drank very slowly, and before drinking a third of it, the milk tea became normal temperature, and the cold feeling disappeared.

The two children in the backyard are playing hide and seek, Qi Jiang is thinking about the Qiankun bag in the study, Su Qing already has some ideas about how to make Shantu lose his crutches, but now the wind and snow are too heavy, he doesn't have enough materials, so he has to Wait for the weather to go out to look for medicinal materials.

Because he didn't have the conditions to do what he wanted to do, he seemed a little bored. He felt a little sleepy after drinking half a cup of milk tea in the living room by himself, so he put the milk tea aside, took a thin quilt and lay down on the sofa directly to sleep.

The temperature outside has dropped to minus 60 degrees. Because it is too cold, the insulation of the small cliff is not as long as before. He slept for two hours and felt a little cold. He got up and added some firewood to the kitchen, and went back to hold a The thicker quilt continues to comfortably nap.

Fengcheng Base, because the weather was too cold, even hiding underground could not resist the cold. During this time, some people died silently at night one after another.

As long as you were diligent before, there would be firewood and charcoal for heating at home, but because there are only one or two people left in many families, accidents are easy to happen if you are careless at night.

For example, due to reasons such as not realizing that the outside temperature dropped too fast, miscalculating the charcoal burning time, sleeping too dead at night, etc., the underground temperature dropped and the people inside would gradually lose their temperature after a period of time. .

Those with good physique may wake up with a start, while those with poor physique can easily leave this world in their sleep.

While arranging the rehearsal for everyone, Mr. Han suggested that three or five families live together temporarily. This suggestion was quickly adopted by everyone, and the number of people who died of freezing that night decreased a lot.

At the same time, Mr. Han is still nervously dealing with the issue of heating. He is currently trying to build a snow house, but everyone is inexperienced and the weather is bad. It may take a while to build a snow house.

All arrangements were arranged in an orderly manner. Mr. Han took a break from his busy schedule and sat in his office with a cup of hot water, looking at the ledger and admiring the snow scene.

Of course, all he saw was a vast expanse of whiteness.

After reading half of the ledger, he frowned slightly, checked every item of data carefully, and sighed with a headache.

As the weather gets colder, everyone needs more calories to resist the cold, so they eat more, and some people can even double their food intake, although the numbers are not as good as before because they eat monster meat. It's a shocking feeling, but with such a large population in Quanfeng City, the inventory is decreasing day by day, which makes Mr. Han flustered.

Su Qing and the others only mentioned that the snow monster has white hair and a strange head, and did not specifically mention the inedible thing. Mr. Han preconceived it, looked at the numbers on the ledger, and couldn't help thinking: "I don't know what a snow monster is. taste."

"Teacher!" Someone outside knocked on the door despite the wind and snow, "The patrol team...the folks who went out...are missing...the snow monsters are infested..."

The strong wind covered his voice, which could be heard intermittently inside.

Teacher Han put the water that he hadn't had time to drink on the table, opened the door and pulled people in against the violent wind and snow: "What is missing, what snow monster?"

"Three days ago, a folk hunting team went hunting and disappeared. We searched but couldn't find it. As a result, a survivor came back today and said that they were attacked by more than a dozen humanoid creatures with white hair. The captain guessed it was Xue. Strange haunting, call me to inform you."

Hearing the word "snow monster", Master Han didn't have time to drink any hot water at all, so he hurriedly followed others to the patrol team to ask about the situation.

Soon, the news of the snow monsters appearing nearby spread throughout the Fengcheng base. Everyone panicked for a few minutes, then calmed down and stepped up their guard.

Two flowers bloomed, each representing a branch, and Qi Jiang, who was working in the study, suddenly heard a familiar cry.

It's very similar to the roar of the wind, isn't it the cry of the snow monster?

He immediately put down his things and went out. He wanted to tell Su Qing that he didn't disturb him when he saw that he was sleeping comfortably, but went out by himself through the side door without making much noise.

Knowing that Qi Jiang is here, the house is safe and nothing will happen, Su Qing, who was sleeping very relaxed, heard the sound, opened her eyes for a second because of instinct, and just turned over because of the sense of security and continued to sleep.

It was still daytime, but the dancing and falling snowflakes in the air blocked all Qi Jiang's sight, so he could only locate the snow monster according to the direction of the sound.

Amidst the snowstorm, a team of nineteen dwarf snow monsters came to the foot of the Snowless Mountains, lifted their faces to reveal the black nose inside and sniffed the air.

Hoo!Hoo!

The snow monster team roared, as if they wanted to make sure there were no prey around, and they seemed to stop at the foot of the mountain because of some aura, and did not directly step into the snow-free mountain range.

The road sign on the stone stele under the snow exuded the aura of two kings. The snow monster team looked at the main peak with the heaviest smell of flesh and blood with some trepidation.

Ordinary snow monsters have no intelligence, and can only use sound waves to communicate, such as information about prey and danger.

It is precisely because they have no wisdom and are not afraid of death, so they are not as afraid of the king's blood as other creatures.

Qi Jiang came to the foot of the mountain, squinted his eyes and counted the number of this snow monster team in the sky with difficulty. Seeing that he couldn't count, he determined a number according to his breath.

Hoo!

The snow monster team also found Qi Jiang and roared at him, and a few others jumped into the air and stretched out their claws trying to grab Qi Jiang.

The Dragon Horn Swords appeared in his hand, Qi Jiangfei went to the snow monster team and stabbed one at a time, and put away the Dragon Horn Swords until there was no more snow monster around.

Because the temperature was too low, the water they turned into after death was frozen into nineteen ice sculptures in different shapes and poses before they fell to the ground.

As soon as the wind blew, the ice sculpture fell to the ground with a click, scattered in the snow.

After dealing with the snow monster team, Qi Jiang slowly flew around, extending three to five hundred kilometers to search, and only returned after making sure that there were no snow monsters near his home.

Under the snowless mountains, the ice on the ground was buried by heavy snow.

Qi Jiang didn't know enough about the snow monsters. He didn't know that the water that the snow monsters turned into after death was not real water, nor were the ice cubes real ice cubes. For the snow monster race, these things were the corpses of the same race. , is also a marker.

That is to say, by killing the snow monster team, he was enmity with this snow monster clan, and the snow monster will definitely follow the breath of the corpse of the same clan to take revenge in the future.

Of course, if he didn't kill them, the snow monsters would come to disturb their lives, and the situation was no different.

Back home, Qi Jiang entered the door cautiously. Shan Shan, who was playing hide-and-seek, happened to hide behind the door, and was almost caught by the door, making a dissatisfied voice: "Meow~"

"Aww!"

Jin Jin happily ran over and pointed at Shanshan with the tips of her wings, as if saying, "I've caught you!"

Shanshan raised her cat face and meowed at Qi Jiang, and stretched out her claws as if asking for something.

Qi Jiang usually doesn't get used to Shan Shan and Jin Jin, and he doesn't give too many snacks to prevent them from being overwhelmed.

But at the moment Su Qing was sleeping, he was not in the mood to bargain and fight with her, so he took out a few snacks made of snow rabbit meat and put them in front of her. After making sure that the young lady was satisfied, he returned to the front yard , When passing by Jin Jin, he also stuffed a handful of snacks by the way, without favoring one over the other.

Back in the living room, Qi Jiang carefully hung his coat on the wall. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Su Qing turned over on the sofa and subconsciously opened his eyes. He wanted to continue sleeping, but woke up when he saw Qi Jiang hanging his clothes. Dian Dian, squinting his eyes to look at him: "Why did you go out?"

"There's a little trouble outside, you go to sleep, I'm going back to the study too."

When Su Qing heard the word trouble, she regained her energy and asked curiously, "What trouble can there be in this weather?"

Qi Jiang didn't want to wake him up, but seeing him slowly sober up because of this sentence, he felt a little regretful that he didn't avoid answering just now, and he had no choice but to talk about the snow monster team.

This is indeed a small trouble, Su Qing nodded slightly, and his eyelids became a little heavy again: "Just solve it."

"Then go back to sleep."

Su Qing hummed, then lay back on the sofa, closed her eyes and continued to sleep, and sighed comfortably before falling asleep: "It's really comfortable at home."

Qi Jiang shook his head with a chuckle, and went back to the study lightly to continue doing his work.

In a snow-capped mountain far away, there is a cold spring in a hidden cave. A jade-colored lotus grows in the spring's eye. A three-meter-high white-haired snow monster sleeps beside the closed lotus, with its nose resting on the edge of the lotus. , with his head resting in the cold spring.

If you look carefully, the lotus will emit a few wisps of jade-colored smoke almost every two or three minutes, all of which are inhaled by the white-haired snow monster, and the source of the cold spring is not this snow-capped mountain, but this jade-colored lotus.

When Qi Jiang killed the snow monster team, the white-haired snow monster opened his eyes and sat up, with a flash of anger in his eyes.

Its people were actually killed, what kind of audacious and lowly creature did it!

Although the snow monster was conceived by heaven and earth, as long as it dies once, the subsequent resurrection can only rely on the power of the royal family. The stronger the royal family is, the higher the bloodline, the more subjects it can have.

And every time a citizen dies, it will weaken the power of the royal family, even if this power is not much, it is like a provocation to the royal family.

Violent as a royal snow monster, he couldn't bear such a thing to happen, and immediately let out a low growl, and then sent several snow monster teams to take revenge.

When the three snow monster teams set off for the Snowless Mountains, it happened to be the moment when Su Qing lamented how comfortable his home was.

Neither he nor Qi Jiang knew that their comfortable life would be broken.

The three snow monster teams didn't know either, they were just there to give away the head.

The royal snow monster who sent his people to revenge and then slept in the cold spring didn't even know what a painful price he would pay.
