After the fog, I became a birdman

In a tree house more than 200 meters above the ground, Su Qing was lying on the window with a book, but his eyes were not focused, his hands were hanging out of the window, and the book in his hand could not be dropped.

He is in a daze.

Two days ago, after spending two days building the tree house, they officially moved from the hope base to live in the tree house

Because the furniture at home has not been finished yet, Qi Jiang has a lot of things to do, so since four days ago, Su Qing has been doing the job of going to the mission hall of Hope Base every morning to see the progress of the mission, but today As soon as he came back from the base in the morning, he found that Qi Jiang had disappeared.

Qi Jiang left in a hurry without leaving a note, but luckily they had a jade talisman for communication.

In the voice of the communication jade talisman, Qi Jiang said that he sensed an aura that attracted him from the other side of the sea. He originally wanted to wait for Su Qing to come back and look for it together, but the dragon soul urged him to find that thing quickly, or else he would be killed. I will miss it, and there will be no chance to look for it in the future. He will go out for several days this time, so he deliberately left a message for fear that Su Qing would worry about him.

After Qi Jiang left, Su Qing was the only one left at home, and after only a few hours, he felt that he couldn't get any energy out of doing anything. He wanted to read at first, but later he couldn't read the book anymore, so he just continued his boring search for inheritance memory Work.

When doing this work normally, Su Qing looks like he is in a daze, but his daze today is genuine.

In the warm rainy season, many monsters have entered the courtship stage of the breeding season, and many plants thrive in the sun. There are many more flowers in the jungle these two days, and the pollinating insects and birds are very busy.

A gust of wind blew over, Su Qing shivered coldly, the partition wrapped in the wind made his nose itch.

"Ah!"

The movement of sneezing made him tremble all over, the book in his hand suddenly slipped, and Su Qing, who came back to his senses, spread his wings, seeming to be slow but actually caught the book in the air like a teleportation.

Hovering in mid-air, Su Qing looked at this jungle that was much quieter than other places, thinking about whether to go to the monkey group to find monkey wine, but thinking that Qi Jiang was not there, he lost interest.

Su Qing sighed slightly, took the book and flew back to the room, put it on the table and continued to lie down by the window looking for his ancient text.

Today's weather is relatively good. It started to rain in the afternoon. The rain fell in the jungle with the sound of thunder. The raindrops the size of marbles hit the leaves and splashed to form sprays.

The dense canopy is a large buffer zone. The rain below does not fall one by one as above, but forms waterlines and falls to the ground. It looks like the jungle is covered with white silk threads. .

After purchasing a new deworming formula, with the efforts of the whole base, more and more raw materials have been found. The production of deworming medicines in Hope Base is increasing every day. are decreasing.

In order to save medicinal materials, I hope that the base does not adopt the wasteful method of spreading medicinal powder, but uses the method of burning medicinal powder. As long as the room or patients are smoked once, the fragrance will last for three days. As long as the fragrance continues, new parasites will not come close .

Today, the base is filled with the smell of various deworming powders, especially the hospital.

However, because the time is too short, I hope that the base's exploration of the jungle is too small. The raw materials for the medicine powder are still in short supply, and the rewards in the reward missions issued by the base have always been high. Big, the major hunting groups have to expand their search range, so as not to miss this wave of bonus opportunities.

It was getting late, and in a certain corner of the jungle, a large hunting group of [-] people cautiously shuttled through the jungle. Although there were many people, their movements were fast and light, and they hardly made any noise as they advanced.

Walking into a relatively sparse forest, the leader, Sister Chu, stretched out her hand and made a gesture of setting up camp. The people of each team worked well-trained to divide and cooperate, and quickly set up more than [-] simple animal skin tents under the tree. , Everyone skillfully spread a fireproof and waterproof dry bark on the ground to keep warm.

The jungle at night is very dangerous, so they will honestly find a place to rest at night, and wait until the next day to continue their journey.

The nine animal skin tents in the center of the team stored the medicinal materials they had collected this trip. Once they returned to the mission hall and handed them in, their hunting group would not have to worry about food and drink for this month.

During the meal, because there were people patrolling around, and this trip was very fruitful, everyone’s spirits were not as tense as when they were on the road, and some people couldn’t help but gossip.

"Hey, tell me, what are the origins of those two outsiders from our base?" A man asked in a low voice very curiously.

"I heard it was a wandering awakener."

As soon as these words were uttered, someone retorted: "Pull it down, wandering awakener? Have you seen it with your own eyes? The clothes on those two people are much more exquisite than ours. They are the same as before, and they haven't been mended. It’s bad, we don’t dare to wear it when we go out to work, you tell me that people who are homeless will wear it? Moreover, the umbrellas used by others are different from ours.”

"Huh? Why is it different?"

The speaker snorted, and pointed to the animal skin umbrella they placed at the door of the tent: "Look, we are almost back to the primitive society, and the umbrella looks different, I don't know what material it is made of." Yes, it is thin, transparent and windproof, and it can’t be bent in heavy rain, and the raincoat looks very well made, how can homeless people have the heart to make these? I’m afraid they don’t know which base they came from.”

"But I heard that they are very strong."

"No matter how strong the strength is, homeless people will still be a little embarrassed, but they are not." Sister Chu walked in from the outside.

Seeing that the boss was coming, the people in the tent greeted one after another: "Sister Chu, why are you here?"

"Let me see if there is anything you are missing here." Sister Chu rolled her eyes angrily, "But seeing that you even have gossip thoughts, I guess there is nothing missing."

Everyone smiled sheepishly, and Sister Chu rolled her eyes again: "Okay, let's get down to business, we'll go back in the middle of the night, don't forget to get up."

Hearing this, everyone was very puzzled.

"Sister Chu, why is it so sudden?"

"Yeah, it's so far away from the base, and there are so many awakened beasts, it's not safe to drive at night..."

Sister Chu raised her hand to stop everyone's discussion: "I got news that one of the two outsiders disappeared suddenly, and the remaining one surnamed Su was not good at words. It’s really a trick, there’s really good news, we won’t be left behind when we go back to the base.”

Everyone suddenly realized that they were eager to try.

The man who had been sitting silently in the corner of the tent frowned and raised his head, with a bit of advice in his words: "Sister Chu, I advise you not to get involved, that person surnamed Qi is not easy to get along with, wait for him If he comes back and finds out that we are going to bully his target, he will definitely go crazy."

"We're not early birds." Sister Chu snorted, not very concerned, "Besides, the base just invites people to be guests to find out what's going on, and they don't know what to do. It's impossible for them to fight, even if they really fight Get up, we're just looking for news, it's impossible to hit us."

Brother Chen lowered his head again, and his voice returned to Gujing Wubo: "That's not necessarily true."

The others looked at each other in blank dismay, and sister Chu's eyes lit up, thinking about the extra mission of finding people in the mission hall these days, she suddenly guessed something.

"Brother Chen, what do you say?"

Brother Chen stopped talking again, sister Chu hesitated to speak, and finally sighed slightly, frowning and left the tent.

Although she didn't look very happy, she was obviously thinking about Brother Chen's words.

As soon as he left, the others also thought of the mission of finding people in the base, and asked curiously: "Old Chen, you also came from outside, did you know them before?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, everyone smiled and asked a few other words, but he remained silent. Everyone was bored and turned back to continue to warm up.

A day later, Sister Chu and the others hurried back to the base. When everyone was handing in the task, Brother Chen turned his head to look at the direction of Qi Su's territory, and turned back to the team.

When everyone returned to the base camp, Brother Chen sighed slightly when he heard Sister Chu said that the base would invite all hunting groups to gather for two days, and that he would also invite Su Qing at that time.

After Su Qing and the others came to Hope Base, Brother Chen actually secretly took a look at his two old friends.

With just one glance, he felt that the two old friends had changed, just as he had changed too.

But no matter how much his personality has changed, he still remembers that Su Qing's health is very bad. If he is stimulated at the dinner party, Qi Jiang will be angry at that time. With his previously shown potential, I am afraid that the entire Hope Base You have to peel off a layer of skin.

Qi Jiang would do anything for Su Qing, he would make anyone more uncomfortable if he dared to make Su Qing uncomfortable.

After everyone had a small summary meeting, Brother Chen secretly left the base and came to Qi Jiang and their temporary territory in the dark.

The owner of the territory is still there. Although there are no buildings, Brother Chen didn't go in hastily. Instead, he stood outside and shouted inside: "Is anyone there?"

His voice was not very loud, but Su Qing in the jungle also heard this familiar voice.

A few seconds later, Su Qing suddenly appeared in front of Brother Chen holding a lantern. After confirming that he was really an old friend, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face: "Brother Chen, it's really you, come in quickly."

Brother Chen also showed a smile: "Long time no see."

"Let's go and sit at home first, it's raining heavily outside." Su Qing smiled and led the way, "Brother Chen, how do you know the address of my home?"

"Two strangers came to the base. It's hard for me to know." Brother Chen smiled cautiously, "I'm sorry, you have been looking for me these days, I..."

Su Qing probably guessed that he didn't come to find them on purpose, and now there may be other reasons for coming here, but he didn't ask too much: "Go home first, it's raining too much outside."

The two were walking on the small road, and Brother Chen found that this place was very quiet at night: "Are you driving away all the monkeys here?"

In the past, at night, it was noisier than downtown.

"No." Su Qing shook his head slightly, "It's just that these guys know the current affairs and won't disturb our tranquility."

Brother Chen nodded slightly, and didn't ask any other questions after that.

Su Qing found that Brother Chen was much less talkative than before. Although he was not talkative in the past, he had a bright and honest personality, and he was not as lifeless as he is now.

He can probably guess the reason, so it's not easy to ask.

When I came under the big tree, the work shed on the ground was not dismantled because the furniture hadn’t been done properly, and there was a rope ladder falling from it next to it.

"There are not many guests at home, and Brother Jiang is not at home, so the stairs are not made, you can just climb up." Su Qing brought the lantern over, "I will help you illuminate."

Brother Chen nodded slightly, and quickly climbed up the rope ladder. Halfway through the climb, he suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing." Brother Chen's voice seemed to be a little nasal, "I just suddenly remembered that when we went to the shelter from Tianbi Garden, we used to climb up and down every day."

At that time, they were full of hope, but they didn't expect that they would still be in deep danger when they arrived at the shelter, and they didn't expect that the safe zone they thought would end up swallowing the lives of so many relatives.

The memories of those days are too tragic, and the people of Fengcheng will never forget them in their lifetime.

Thinking about Sister Fang, Su Qing couldn't recall the past with him, so she reached out and patted Brother Chen on the shoulder: "Go up first."

Brother Chen quickly packed up his mood and climbed all the way to the brightly lit tree house above.

The tree house was clean and tidy, and there was a faint smell of wood in the smell of disinfectant and medicinal powder. Although there were few furniture inside, all of them were carefully crafted by Qi Jiang, and some even had some patterns painted on them.

This place is like a pre-apocalyptic theme hotel, Brother Chen felt much calmer as soon as he entered.

"You two really can take good care of yourself wherever you go." Brother Chen was sincerely happy for them.

"After all, I am comfortable in basic necessities of life, and I can have more motivation to do other things. Why not do it?" Su Qing took off the muddy rain boots on his feet, walked in with a smile and poured him a glass of water: "Come in sit."

Brother Chen nodded, took off his coir raincoat and shoes, looked at his clothes and pants covered in mud, and felt a little reluctant to go in.

Su Qing glanced at him and walked over to try to pull him in.

As soon as his arm was touched by him, Brother Chen dodged subconsciously, and blurted out terrified words: "Don't, don't, brother Qi is going to be angry."

After finishing speaking, he paused abruptly, touching Su Qing's dumbfounding expression, the uneasiness in his heart finally dissipated.

"Oh, look at me."

"Come in first, I'm dirty too." Su Qing asked him to look at his pants.

Brother Chen scratched his head, and finally followed Su Qing into the living room. After looking at the clean wooden sofa, he was still reluctant to sit down.

"Let me sit on the floor, don't let me get this sofa dirty."

When this friend came to the door, there was no reason to let the friend sit on the ground. Su Qing put a cushion directly: "Is this okay? Why are you like a bitch?"

Brother Chen: ...

"Did you eat?" Su Qing pushed away all the books on the coffee table, put some food and two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and pretended to be melancholy for fear that he would refuse, "Come and eat with me, Qi Jiang is not here, I am alone I don't have much appetite at home, but now that you're here, I finally feel less bored."

Brother Chen looked at his unwashed hands: "Then I'll go outside and wash my hands."

"What are you doing outside?" Su Qing directly took out a basin of water, "Let's wash here, the rainwater is not clean."

Afraid of being scolded as a bitch again, Brother Chen didn't want to shirk, so he washed his hands with Su Qing, picked up the bowl and started eating.

He hadn't eaten a decent meal for a long time, let alone rice, as soon as he ate the delicious meal, Brother Chen's eyes were red.

Su Qing acted as if he hadn't seen it, but complained softly while eating: "Oh, after you left, Fengcheng has experienced many disasters, many people died, and many acquaintances are gone."

At this point, he paused, feeling that there were too many things that had happened, so he couldn't explain clearly for a while, so he simply skipped it: "We just arrived at the Hope Base a few days ago, and Brother Jiang told me that he seemed to see you , I thought he was wrong, now that old friends are reunited, Brother Jiang must be very happy to know, and we don’t have to live in this world like rootless duckweed.”

Brother Chen knows that they are cold by nature, and they have lovers to accompany them, how can they feel lonely?Just to comfort him.

Even so, Brother Chen felt warm in his heart. No matter what, at least Su Qing treated him the same as before, and their feelings were not diluted by time and worldly events.

"It's because I'm embarrassed to come to you." Brother Chen had a painful expression on his face, "I, oh..."

Seeing that he fell into grief again, Su Qing didn't complain this time, but shrugged helplessly: "Don't forget, you still owe us... You haven't paid back some points, do you want to repay the debt?"

Brother Chen laughed: "It's 620 three points, the IOU...I still keep it."

Su Qing paused while eating, with a shocked expression: "You still keep it?"

"Yeah." Brother Chen's eyes were red again, "Your sister Fang was afraid that I would lose it, so she sewed it in the clothes for me as soon as I went back that night."

"Then you have to pay it well. You are alone now, and you are part of a hunting group. You should be able to save money. Remember to work hard to pay off your debts." Su Qing half-jokingly said.

Brother Chen knew that his focus was not on repaying debts, but on "raising his spirits".

From the moment he entered the door, Su Qing comforted him openly and secretly, and Brother Chen also appreciated it in his heart: "I will."

After eating, Su Qing took out a change of clothes: "It's getting late, why don't you sleep here tonight, just so we can talk about what happened to each other during this time."

Brother Chen showed panic: "The two of us? Brother Qi will be angry when he comes back?"

He didn't dare to stay overnight, with Qi Jiang's narrow-minded appearance, it's no wonder he wasn't angry.

Su Qing rolled her eyes: "Is it because of him that I don't want to be alone with others?"

"Hehe, this..." Brother Chen scratched his head with a dry smile, and swallowed, "I'm here tonight to tell you something, to reminisce about the old days, when Qi Jiang comes back, the three of us will have a good get-together Let's get together."

Su Qing couldn't laugh or cry, but seeing that he had regained some of his previous temperament, he let him go: "Okay, I just happen to be going out tomorrow, and Brother Jiang is not here, let's talk about the old days when we are all together. "

"You want to go out?" Brother Chen's eyes lit up, "Are you going back to Fengcheng?"

"No." Su Qing shook her head with a smile, "I want to go out to find spiritual things to awaken. Brother Jiang is also going out for this purpose. We estimate that it will take four or five days before we can come back."

Brother Chen was taken aback, before he could speak, he heard Su Qing ask: "What do you want to tell me?"

"It's about dinner at the base." Brother Cheng explained everything he knew, "I just want you to avoid it. When I first came to the base, many people asked about me openly and secretly. Where is it, it's just me... I have a depressed personality, and I was very embarrassed when I came here, and they lost interest after a while, and these inquiries gradually disappeared."

"It's still an old friend who understands me." Su Qing understood what he meant, with a hint of toughness and indifference in her smile, "I really don't like others to inquire about me indiscriminately."

He and Qi Jiang did not die to hide some things, one is that pretending to be weak makes their lives too wronged and unworthy, and the other is to give Hope Base a certain amount of respect, but in any case, what others know must be what they want Let others know, and rush to inquire, Su Qing will indeed be annoyed.

Once he gets annoyed, his patience will run out. If someone who doesn't know how to measure comes, maybe he will take advantage of it to show his power.

"I just know that you are impatient with these things, and I am afraid that you will have a conflict, so I came to persuade you." Brother Chen actually has a lot of sense of belonging to Hope Base, and he doesn't want the base to anger Su Qing.

In the past, Su Qing was exempt from remuneration if he could, but now that he is powerful, he must be more willful.

Although Su Qing had a good temper when he was in the rescue team of the refuge, Brother Chen knew very well that if Fengcheng was not Su Qing's hometown, he would not be patient and help.

Fengcheng is his hometown, but the Hope Base is just a passer-by for Qi Jiang and the others, so it's no wonder that Su Qing is willing to let herself be wronged.

"It just so happens that I'm going out too, so let's avoid it." The smile on Su Qing's face became a little more friendly, "By the way, Brother Chen, have you continued to practice your mind these days?"

"Yes." Brother Chen nodded ashamedly, "I know that you value mental methods, so you have been persisting, but you haven't improved for a long time."

Su Qing rummaged through his inventory, took out a new Qiankun bag, and stuffed new mental methods and new teaching materials into it: "The lack of progress is a problem of mental methods that are not suitable for the current world. Don’t reject the new mentality that everyone has, as for the Qiankun bag, just drop your blood and recognize the owner.”

"This……"

"Don't refuse, just treat it as a congratulatory gift for the reunion of old friends." Su Qing stuffed things into his hands.

"Such a precious thing..."

"Then when Brother Jiang comes back, he will give it to you in person?" Su Qing raised his eyebrows, seeing that Brother Chen seemed a little timid, and was amused again, "Okay, don't be a motherfucker, put it away, I have more on my body. "

"You are still so rich and powerful." Brother Chen still kept it, "Since every person in Fengcheng has the mentality, then I will keep it, but this... Qiankun bag, I will take it as if I borrowed it."

"I know, I know."

"It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

Su Qing hummed, and when she sent him out, she suddenly remembered something, and took out a communication jade talisman and handed it to him: "Inject a piece of spiritual power and you will be able to make a voice. The communication range is [-] kilometers. Don't refuse. Keep it in the account."

Brother Chen, who was heavily in debt, smiled helplessly and accepted the Communication Jade Talisman: "Okay, thank you."

Su Qing sent Brother Chen out, watching him carry a lantern as he walked farther and farther in the night.

When he returned to the base, Su Qing sighed slightly.

Based on the fact that Qi Jiang saw Brother Chen in the hunting group before, the task hall is just a task of finding people. It stands to reason that if Brother Chen saw it, he would come to them soon.

But after so many days, they have not been able to find Brother Chen. In fact, both he and Qi Jiang wanted to give up.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that Brother Chen didn't dare to look for them. If it wasn't because he wanted to invite him to a dinner party at the Hope Base, Brother Chen would not take the initiative to come to the door.

However, Su Qing didn't think it was a bad thing.

In the peaceful times before, friends might become distant if they didn't contact each other for a long time. Now that the world is not good, seeing Brother Chen's depression at the beginning, it's normal not to want to come.

Either way, it's a joy to reunite with friends.

Su Qing took out Qi Jiang's communication jade talisman, and wanted to inform him about this matter, but she was afraid of affecting him, so she decided to wait until he came back.

Just when he was about to turn around and go home, Su Qing thought of another thing. He took the jug and turned around to search the territory of the monkeys, and found the resting monkeys from a cave.

"Cough cough!"

The group of monkeys pretending to be asleep woke up suddenly and looked at Su Qing timidly. After a few seconds, a monkey who looked bigger and taller came out and respectfully imitated humans to salute.

"Ow?"

"Do you make wine?" Su Qing sniffed his nose, but was a little disappointed that he didn't smell the wine, "Forget it, I came today to tell you something... Do you understand?"

The monkey that came out nodded hesitantly, and Su Qing continued with satisfaction: "From now on, you don't have to be so careful, except keep your voice down, do what you need to do, if anyone rashly breaks into the territory, you know what to do of."

Monkey: "Oh?" How to do it?

A trace of distress flashed across Su Qing's stern expression, and he slandered in his heart why he had to guess the animal language again.

"Forget it, let me just say it, you can deal with it as you like in the past. If anyone has evil intentions, just drive me out, especially no one is allowed to come within five kilometers of the tree house, understand?"

"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Su Qing disliked them being noisy, sighed and walked towards the Crocodile Valley and the wild boar with fangs, repeating what he said just now.

The free guards were ready, he went back to sleep well, and there was no one in the tree house the next day.
