Chapter 45 Unavoidable
Boom!
The trap door in the basement was closed heavily, and Xiang En climbed the ladder to the alchemy room, saw the worry on Andrea's face under the oil lamp, sighed, and said, "Don't worry, they should leave by themselves! "
Andrea just nodded slightly when she heard the words, but she was still worried.
Just now, a large number of animals infected by ghouls ran out of the forest. Almost all of these animals were attracted by the sound. The enemy has an absolute advantage in numbers, and they can no longer be crushed by IQ and strength.
They had no choice but to bring two large wooden barrels and bring the boiled bath water back to the basement.
Seeing that Andrea's mood was still not high, Xiang En said: "Don't think about it, I will deal with the monsters outside, you should go take a bath first, or the water will be cold."
The temptation to take a bath still defeated the worries about the future, and Andrea finally swept away her emotions and looked at the two wooden barrels on the ground.
There is not the same amount of bath water in it, one wooden barrel is almost full, and the other has slightly more water, but the total amount is enough for two people to wash their bodies.
Andrea had a bold idea in her mind, but the basement space was very small, and there was no bathtub and wooden barrel to realize her bold idea. In the end, her bold idea was still not realized.
disappointment.
She cleaned her body in the bedroom, and squeezed out a lot of water to wash her hair, which made her look completely new.
Too bad there is no soap in town...
If there is soap, the body can be washed a little cleaner, and the experience will definitely be better!
During this process, Xiang En has been carving totems in the alchemy room without any other thoughts. What he thinks most about now is to exchange the forbidden vine totems to solve the infected monsters above his head.
When Andrea came out wrapped in a thick fur coat, his vague thoughts disappeared. At most, he hoped that he would not smell the smell when he went to bed at night.
After all, reality is very realistic.
...
After taking a bath, Xiang En continued to carve totems. Carving totems was a very time-consuming task. Even if he was very skilled, he could only carve up to six trap totems or four goat totems in a day.
He didn't finish carving until his stomach was unbearably hungry, and ate something with Andrea who was sitting by the fire in a daze.
In order to save food, they only eat two meals a day, breakfast and dinner, and now this meal is dinner.
Swallowing dinner with oil, water and bread, Xiang En looked at the absent-minded Andrea and asked, "Do you want more bread? An Li?"
"Huh?" Andrea shivered as if she had just realized it, her eyes regained focus, and she looked at him.
"I said, do you still want bread?" Xiang En repeated helplessly, and then asked with concern: "Are you still worried about the zombie beasts on the ground?"
Zombie beast, Xiang En really couldn't think of a name that matched the name of the ghoul, and created another new word to summarize the names of those infected monsters.
Regardless of whether it is the world of the previous life or this world, human beings rely on their wisdom and the ability to be in heat at any time, and the number of human groups has always been considerable.
Just like Americans, Islanders, and Ah San are collectively referred to as foreigners, different infected monsters are collectively referred to as zombie beasts, and infected humans are collectively referred to as ghouls.
Andrea looked away unnaturally, instead of meeting Xiang En's gaze, she said perfunctorily, "...well, forget it, let's do it."
Hearing this, Xiang En had no doubts. After all, Andrea in his eyes was indeed worried about those problems, so he comforted him softly: "Let's stay underground for the time being. When I learn new skills, I don't have to be afraid of outsiders." Those monsters..."
blah blah...
Xiang En didn't know how effective the comfort was, and Andrea just kept humming.
After talking enough, Xiang En didn't say any more, and brought a lot of thick and short logs from outside, and sat by the fire to carve the goat totem with the help of the fire.
If he successfully carves a goat totem, he can gain 3% proficiency. He only needs to carve 33 totems to upgrade his totem skills and gain skill points. He has already carved twelve goat totems before.
Totem Xiang En has finished carving the shape, and waits until the number of pieces is enough before injecting magic power to activate it.
Because the "pigments" for depicting totems are hard to find in the winter, Xiang En's own blood is used to paint the eyes now, and every time he finishes carving the wood, he pricks his fingers and it hurts so much that he has to wait for the shape to be carved before filling it up Procedure medium.
crunch...
Da da da……
The sound of the carving knife rubbing against the wood is very clear in this underground space.
Andrea lay on the big bed made of animal skins, curled up together, using her body heat to make the cold bed not so cool.
His eyes were fixed on Xiang En's back, his expression was sometimes dull, sometimes he covered his face in embarrassment, and sometimes he was so nervous that he bit his nails. Xiang En.
Crunch!
The sound of wood carving lasted for a long time, and the two people who stayed underground had no sense of time. Xiang En stopped working until he felt sleepy, and returned to the bedside after solving the physical hygiene problem.
Seeing that Xiang En finally finished the practice, Andrea moved her body inside to make room for Xiang En, without saying anything.
Although sleeping together has happened many times, Xiang En still feels weird every time, and sighs in his heart, he doesn't know how to get along with the opposite sex without a girlfriend in his previous life.
He took off the inner three layers and the outer three layers of clothes, put them on the wooden chair beside him, rubbed his hands with Xiang En, and got into the quilt happily.
Taking a deep breath, Xiang En could no longer smell much of the peculiar smell, which made him let out a comfortable moan.
Stretching out his arms to hug the heat source beside him, Xiang En closed his eyes just like that, and prepared to go to sleep. He still had to carve a totem tomorrow.
With the help of the light from the stove, Andrea saw that Xiang En had closed his eyes. After struggling for a long time, she finally took a deep breath and said softly, "Xiang En."
"Huh?" Xiang En didn't open his eyes.
"I, I... I, oh, I can't sleep! Huh..."
After saying this, Andrea felt as if she was about to suffocate. She rubbed her smooth feet under the quilt expectantly, lowered her head slightly, and aimed her forehead at Xiang En's eyes.
It's so obvious, I've already taken a shower today, it should be that, that's it!
It's too embarrassing, it's against noble etiquette...Mom, I'm sorry!
"Ah?" Now Xiang En finally opened his eyes, but the surroundings were pitch black, and he couldn't see Andrea's current appearance. After thinking about it, he came up with an idea, "Then let me tell you Tell the story!"
"Eh?"
"Ahem, let me start. The name of the story is "Journey to the West". Everything starts with a monkey jumping out of a rock..."
After talking about this for about an hour, Andrea's expression changed from bewildered to serious, and finally she was completely immersed in the story.
Xiang En is good at telling stories, because he used to like listening to novels, so he has a little experience in storytelling.
Telling a story with a novel setting to someone who hasn't seen many good stories is simply easy to grasp.
Seeing Andrea's serious look, Xiang En's sense of accomplishment soared.
It's just that after talking for so long, I'm a little thirsty, so let's sleep...
"Let's stop here today. When we solve the problem of drinking water, I will tell you every day!"
Andrea finally escaped from the ups and downs of the plot and returned to the real world. When she heard that she could listen to stories every day, she nodded excitedly and closed her eyes.
Xiang En Chong smiled and closed his eyes.
wrong! ! !
In the darkness, Andrea's bloodshot eyes opened suddenly, and she looked at Xiang En with a peaceful face, with blue veins on her forehead and teeth that were about to be crushed.
Stretching out his hand to grab Xiang En's lifeblood, he was trembling with anger, and gritted his teeth, "I! I don't want to hear a story!"
Suddenly being attacked like this, Xiang En couldn't sleep peacefully. He immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Andrea who was just a few feet away in disbelief. He didn't dare to make a big move, and said Nuo Nuo: "An Li, you... don't want to listen to the story, Then what do you want to do..."
"Shut up! Shut up! Why do you want me to say it! I don't want to hear you talking now! Ah! I have already given you so many hints! Damn...!"
The two who lived and died have gone through so much together, but in the end they couldn't avoid the conflicts sparked. The two had a quarrel in this narrow space, and finally the conflict turned into a hand-to-hand fight!
Xiang En, who was poor in physical fitness, became the passive party to be beaten. He was beaten so hard that he gasped, and then his mouth was roughly gagged, and he was not allowed to make a cry of dignity...
Hey... I still can't hold back after all
