Traveling through the new apocalyptic era

Chapter 265 265 Encounter
The sky gradually darkened. There were rolling mountains and gurgling streams. Two fires were burning slowly on the shore. There was a chicken on one fire and two fish on the other.

Li Xiu'e was tending to two fires, while in a stream not far away, Yin Ling was slowly washing her hair.

She had used up a bag of shampoo but her hair was still not clean. She had been traveling non-stop for the past two days and the weather was hot, so she already smelled bad. She put away the small bag of shampoo, took out another small bag of shampoo, squeezed half of it and washed her hair again before she felt her hair was clean.

The stream here is very shallow, and she was only just above her knees when she stood in the water. Not far away, a little black rabbit was still fishing in the water.

After washing her hair, she tied it up. Looking at her wet clothes, she took them off and washed her top with shampoo. She had already taken off her fur coat and placed it on the stone outside.

After washing the clothes, she started to take a shower. When she rubbed the dust on her body with her hands, a gray line appeared. Yin Ling simply took out a bath towel and started to scrub. Anyway, her grandma was far away and it was dark so she couldn't see what she was using.

It took more than half an hour to wash herself clean, and Yin Ling felt like she was alive again.

She knocked the fish she caught secretly unconscious and put them in a shallow pool of water to be dealt with after dinner.

"The fish is ready, the chicken is ready, Ling'er, are you done?"

Li Xiu'e's voice came from behind, and Yin Ling responded quickly. Wearing only a wet vest and shorts, Yin Ling walked towards the fire with a freshly washed long-sleeved shirt and pants.

Li Xiu'e stood up quickly upon seeing this. Seeing that she was soaked, she took the clothes and pants from her hand and wrung them out. When she saw that no water could be wrung out, she quickly spread them out near the fire to dry.

"I told you not to wash but you insisted on washing. What if you catch a cold? Look at you, you're all wet. You just don't take care of yourself."

Yin Ling moved closer to the fire, twisted her hair and laughed, "That's too dirty, and we can't boil water. Grandma will wash your hair when the weather warms up tomorrow afternoon. I have a small bag of shampoo here."

"Okay, you're the only one who likes to be clean. Come on, warm yourself by the fire and eat something. I'll help you dry your clothes and put them on quickly."

Yin Ling smiled ingratiatingly, then turned the wooden stick on which the fish was grilled. Seeing that it was indeed cooked, she threw the fish to Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao caught the fish, so this one is for Qiaoqiao to eat."

As soon as the little rabbit got the fish, he shouted happily twice. Finally, he could eat cooked food again.

Yin Ling tore off a chicken leg and started to eat it. Although there was no seasoning, it was indeed fragrant and the meat was firm. She enjoyed it very much.

After the two people and the rabbit finished eating, Yin Ling also changed their clothes and dried them.

After eating and drinking well, Yin Ling and her grandmother scraped the scales, removed the internal organs and removed the gills of the six big fish caught by Little Black Rabbit. Because Little Black Rabbit always caught big fish, each fish weighed three or four pounds. Under the guidance of her grandmother, Yin Ling cut a few cuts on the back of the fish, and finally spread the fish on a large rock to dry.

After everything was done, Yin Lingrang quietly kept watch while she and her grandmother lay on a straw mat, covered with animal skin coats. There was an unburned fire two or three meters away, so it was not cold even at night.

Neither of them had slept well in the past two days. After eating and drinking, Yin Ling was sleeping soundly on the hard straw mat. When she woke up, the sun had already risen. Grandma was grilling fish, and Qiaoqiao was still catching fish in the water. She overslept, and except for some soreness in her body, there were no other problems.

When Li Xiu'e saw her granddaughter wake up and look well, she nodded and felt relieved, fortunately she did not catch a cold.

On this day, Yin Ling and her grandmother did not continue their journey. There was no village or shop nearby, and there was no one around. They had nothing to eat, so they had to stop here and planned to catch more fish. The sun was shining brightly, so they could process and dry the fish to store some food.

But she couldn't stay there for long, she had to find a human gathering place as soon as possible. She quietly added salt into the water cup, just a little bit. She asked herself if she could taste the salt. Her grandmother, who had a strong taste and whose sense of taste had deteriorated due to her age, naturally couldn't taste it either.

Yin Ling didn't know what the current situation in this world was or what season it was, but the weather was pretty good. Except for the strong sun at noon, the weather was neither too cold nor too hot at other times, just like spring.

In the evening, Yin Ling turned over the fish drying on the stones one by one, counting them as she turned them over. Including last night and today, she had dried a total of 35 fish. She had hardly had a rest that day. Her grandmother was weaving straw baskets and quietly catching the fish, while she was in charge of processing them.

Both lunch and dinner were grilled fish, and Yin Ling felt a fishy taste in her mouth.

After dinner, the sun sets and the busy day finally comes to an end.

Yin Ling sat on a straw mat, leaned his back against a big rock and began to meditate and absorb spiritual energy to practice.

The most fortunate thing is that she has spiritual roots to practice, and there is no need to test. Since she entered this world and felt the rich spiritual energy washing over her body, she has discovered that she can practice. Although she is a little old and her practice speed may be slower, she has also taken the spiritual liquid in the space before, and her physique is better than that of ordinary people, so she also has certain advantages in practice. In addition, the spiritual energy here is rich, as long as she is given enough time, she can still make some small achievements.

I have been busy these past few days, traveling during the day and keeping watch at night, and I haven't had any time to practice properly. Now that I can quietly keep watch for her at night, I have time to practice.

The moment the basic exercises are performed, rich spiritual energy flows into the body, like a downpour after a long drought, very comfortable.

Li Xiu'e watched her granddaughter meditating like in TV dramas, and said something about how the air here is fresh and she should absorb the essence of heaven and earth. She is already thirty years old but still so childish, as if she will never grow up. It is really worrying.

Yin Ling was awakened from her meditation by her grandmother, and when she woke up she found that there were a few more people around her.

The little black rabbit's claws were also scratching her and chirping.

"Ling girl, someone is coming. He is coming on the same train with us."

Yin Ling stood up and looked at the sky first. The moon had only shifted for a moment and the fire was still burning brightly, indicating that she had not been practicing for a long time, not even for an hour. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It was so hard to find time to practice!
Then she turned her head and looked at the four people who were standing around the fire and looking around. One of them was an acquaintance of hers, a big brother who was sitting in front of her in the same carriage as her, the writer Xu Jing, who was dressed like a bad boy.

Seeing her looking at him, Xu Liang quickly greeted her, "Hello, Ms. Yin, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you and the old lady here. We were in the same car, do you remember us?" Her attitude was very friendly and she was quite excited, obviously very surprised by this encounter.

"Hello, Mr. Xu." Yin Ling was not as enthusiastic as the other party. She simply said hello and then looked at the other four people. They were all unfamiliar faces and it seemed that they were not from the same compartment.
