Hoarding money to raise cubs on the 70th day【Two in One】
Qin Qi rubbed his arm that was hurting from being caught. Hearing what Lu Liran said, he couldn't help letting go of other thoughts, and looked at Lu Liran curiously: "Sand cocoon? Is that thing called a sand cocoon? It sounds really vivid..."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and muttered to himself thoughtfully: "But why do I always feel as if I heard something coming..."
Lu Liran didn't care about Qin Qi's words, he hurriedly looked at Xiandan and asked, "Where did you find Qin Qi?"
"It's on the other side of the sandy slope." Xiandan paused, then recalled, "The location of that place is parallel to the forest you walked out of just now, but one is on the slope and the other is down the slope. It's only four or five hundred meters away."
Hearing this, Lu Liran made some calculations in his heart, a little moved, and wanted to take the risk to have a look while the sky was not too dark.
It probably took more than an hour to go back and forth. Although the sky has darkened now, there is still a period of time when it is completely dark, so he can take a risk.
His heart was about to move, and when he looked up, he saw Ke Ji looking over.
Lu Liran paused, and without Ke Ji opening his mouth, he could guess that the other party probably disapproved of his actions.
Lu Liran frowned unconsciously, if Ke Ji wanted to persuade him...
He opened his mouth, and when he was about to say something, Ke Ji said, "If you want to go, I will accompany you."
Lu Liran was taken aback, this was beyond his expectation, he didn't expect that Ke Ji not only didn't persuade him to give up that idea, but directly asked to go together?
Lu Liran reacted for two seconds, and immediately understood Ke Ji's intentions.
Ke Ji knew that he couldn't shake Lu Liran's thoughts, so he might as well go together, and take care of him under his nose anyway, so he can rest assured.
Lu Liran frowned, and retorted decisively: "No, it's too dangerous."
Shu Hua twitched the corners of his mouth as he listened, was he worried about Ke Ji?
He just heard the story of Little Six and the others. Mr. Lu brought three people up, and the other four were pulled up by this Omega. The rope broke the last time.
In such a dangerous and dangerous situation, this Omega can bring people up unscathed, and now he still looks like he still has the strength to spare... Shuhua suddenly thought of the fact that he was pressed in the sand and beaten by the other party , I still feel a little pain in the face.
If you ask him, among so many people, Mr. Lu has nothing to worry about the most, it is this Omega.
Little Six heard what Lu Liran and Qin Qi were talking about, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Is this the cocoon that Mr. Lu is looking for?"
He spread his palms.
He saw three oval brown cocoons lying on his palm with thin, pointed upper and lower ends, and he could vaguely see something beating inside, as if something's heart was beating slightly.
Lu Liran looked over subconsciously, and immediately opened his eyes wide: "Where did you find it?"
Little Six scratched the back of his head, and just about to point, he thought of what Mr. Lu had said before—you can’t act without his consent, and you can’t run in front of him—he couldn’t help but said in a low voice:
"Mr. Lu, don't be angry after I tell you, we just want to see if there is anything we can eat."
After he finished speaking, seeing Lu Liran's face, he didn't look like he was about to get angry, and even nodded slightly patiently.
He became courageous in an instant, and said happily: "We took advantage of the barbecue time and went to the back. We walked through this small sand dune. There is a small depression under the small sand dune, and there is this thing in it. I looked at it. It’s like a cicada pupa, I think I’ve seen people eat this kind of thing before, even if it’s deep-fried, it seems to be okay, so I brought some back.”
But then I didn't work up the courage to eat it. Little Six was thinking about it, and he didn't know whether this food was bad or the barbecue was more bad.
Lu Liran looked in the direction of Xiaoliuzi's finger. He hadn't explored that area yet, and when he came back, it was already in the twilight state. He was busy making a fire and grilling meat, and he didn't look at the surrounding landforms at all.
He didn't expect that he would almost miss this easy-to-reach thing.
Lu Liran heaved a sigh of relief thankfully, nodded his head slightly to Little Six in thanks, and immediately set off and ran over.
"Mr. Lu actually said thank you to me..." Little Six dreamily grasped the sand cocoon in his hand and murmured.
This is Mr. Lu, who has received a thank you from Mr. Lu? Except when the captain gives money! He is the first person!
Ke Ji glanced at Little Six in a hurry, and quickly followed Lu Liran without saying a word.
"Hey Mr. Ke!" The other members of the Merchant Fleet hurriedly shouted upon seeing this.
"Why did Mr. Ke keep up? Didn't you say it was dangerous?"
"Come on, Mr. Ke is different from us." Little Six smiled and waved his hands, "You guys were rescued by Mr. Ke, can it be the same?"
"..." Can't refute.
Shu Hua wondered and picked up the cocoon in the palm of a little boy, frowned slightly in distaste, and asked in doubt: "Is this a cocoon? Why do those two people look so excited, as if they found a treasure."
Qin Qi clapped his hands suddenly, with a crisp "pop", his eyes lit up: "I just said that the name of Sha Cocoon is so familiar, I must have heard it somewhere!"
"Xiao Qi knows?", "What is that? It looks like a bug, so it shouldn't be worth much, right?"
Qin Qi nodded affirmatively, and said, "This is a bug, and it's also a cocoon, but it's different from ordinary bug cocoons."
He went on to say: "I heard people say that this thing is a bug during the day, and it clings to the vines, and it will form a cocoon at night. Lie on the plant and suck the plant stem sap."
"Dawning insects and evening cocoons?"
Qin Qi let out a "huh" and said, "I guess it's not entirely related to the day and night, it should be related to the temperature and humidity, otherwise I wouldn't be in that place during the day. I saw worms forming cocoons."
"Then what can this thing do? Make Mr. Lu mind so much?" Shu Hua asked.
"Insects are useless, but empty cocoons are still useful, but their medicinal properties are not many, and they have miraculous effects on heart problems." Qin Qi said, "It seems that cocoons also have different ages. The older the cocoon, the more medicinal it is. Well, I don't know how to calculate this..."
As he was talking, he suddenly understood what was happening, he opened his eyes wide and took a deep breath: "Could it be Mr. Lu's heart..."
"Probably not." Xiao Liuzi was the first to react and said, "I also remembered what Xiao Qi said. Before I set off, I saw Salba's bounty list. Someone just posted five thousand star coins for a I offered a reward for Sha Cocoon at the price of 1 piece. I just don’t have any idea about this thing, so I didn’t make it right for a while.”
He scratched the back of his head and smiled naively: "I guess Mr. Lu is aiming at the reward list?"
He squeezed the sand cocoon in his hand, is this one worth five thousand star coins? That's really amazing!
If it weren't for the fear of Salba, the little six would have gone back to pick up some more.
"Go, anyway, Mr. Lu and Mr. Ke are over there, and there are people to take care of them." Someone urged, if the little six went, then he would go too.
But Little Six shook his head cleverly, put away the cocoons he picked up preciously, and said, "No, no, no, even if Mr. Lu and Mr. Ke can pass, it doesn't mean it's safe. I'm a few catties, don't worry about it." Let's make a mess."
He was holding his sand cocoons happily, and he picked up six or seven of them, rounding them up, and they were worth at least 30,000 star coins. As long as he could go back alive, he would have it!
He is not greedy, and he does not cause trouble!
The person who couldn't persuade him sighed regretfully, so he didn't dare to go.
Lu Liran and Ke Ji soon arrived at the small sand dune Xiaoliuzi mentioned, which was only four or five meters high. The two easily climbed to the top of the sand dune, lying on the sand slope and quietly observing the low-lying land below.
The drone also rose to the shoulder height of the two, operating silently.
[Hey, I don’t think I saw any bugs? 】
[The light is too dark, I can't see anything clearly]
【+1 for Brother Lu's eyesight】
Lu Liran couldn't see clearly either. He pursed his lips and controlled the drone to change to night mode, observing the low-lying land over there through the camera lens of the drone.
In the camera of the live broadcast room, the originally dark low-lying land suddenly became bright——
It's not that the light has become brighter, but that in the lens in night mode, I don't know what function has been added, and I can see that things with vital signs emit a faint green light, whether it is plants or those clinging to plants. caterpillars, or worms that have formed cocoons.
Immediately, the depression glowed green.
[Damn it, don’t tell me that those little things that glow green are bugs]
【Brother Lu, is this a fight with bugs! ! ! ! 】
[Good guy, have you fallen into a bug nest? 】
[I'll go, it's just like this here, I can't imagine what the medical brother saw]
Lu Liran squinted his eyes, and whispered to Ke Ji: "Don't touch those bugs, or cocoons with bugs, just pick up empty cocoons."
Ke Ji nodded in response.
No one knows when those cocoons with worms will come out suddenly, but it may not be until daytime. Maybe when the heat is high and the temperature changes slightly, it will cause the hatching problem of those cocoons.
Even though he didn't know what harm these bugs would cause, he thought that all things that could survive in the Sarba desert had their own set of abilities, so they couldn't be underestimated.
Lu Liran didn't expect to have to deal with bugs along the way.
The two carefully turned over the small sand dunes, slowly stepped into the low-lying land, and carefully stepped over the vines and caterpillars that glowed fluorescent green in the camera.
I don't know how long this place has been the base camp of these bugs. The vacant cocoons fell all over the ground, and Lu Liran swept them all into his backpack indiscriminately.
It's a pity that the terminal's storage function can't be used, otherwise the place could be emptied by him.
A backpack was filled with hundreds of sand cocoons. Lu Liran was thinking about packing some more clothes, when Ke Ji handed over his bag: "Put it in here, and it's all yours."
Lu Liran nodded upon hearing the words: "Okay, thank you, this is indeed very important to me."
Ke Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Lu Liran's chest. He remembered that he seemed to have seen a scar about the length of a knuckle on Lu Liran's chest. These sand cocoons?"
"It's not me." Lu Liran replied.
Ke Ji breathed a sigh of relief, it's fine.
He felt much more relaxed, didn't ask any more questions, and filled his backpack for Lu Liran, and the two of them went back home satisfied.
[This is the first time I saw Brother Lu take so many things to go 0.0 Is this cocoon really worth it?]
[Now the highest price is 5,000 star coins, so it is much more profitable than the antelope horns sold before]
[I originally thought that the cocoon would be golden or crystal-like, but I didn't expect it to be a chrysalis of various colors...]
[Laughing to death, do you want another colorful glass caterpillar? 】
【vomit】
[Brother Lu's mission is complete, right? Did you say you came here to find this thing? 】
[Brother Lu's desert treasure hunt ENDING√]
Lu Liran is indeed full of thoughts of going home now. The people from the Merchant Fleet have all been found, and the sand cocoons are also full. According to the current situation, if they go directly to the airship pick-up location that was set in advance tomorrow, there may still be time .
He hesitated for a moment, since that's the case, shouldn't Qin Qi go to the place where Qin Qi bumped into before...?
The sand cocoon full of two large backpacks should be enough for the little guy to survive the next few months, and it won't take long. Maybe when interstellar navigation resumes, he will have enough savings to bring the little guy back to his own planet. Go straight to full revision surgery.
While going through the choice in his mind, he and Ke Ji rushed towards the camp, and soon made a decision in his mind.
Someone at the other end of the camp has been paying attention to the movement on the side of the small sand dune. Seeing the figures of Lu Liran and Ke Ji, they immediately shouted: "They are back!"
"How is it? It looks like nothing is wrong?" Someone looked at it.
"Mr. Lu and Mr. Ke seem to be fine, what's the matter? Are you itchy? Think about it too?"
"I have this idea hehe..."
"Then you go!"
One of them pushed the teammate beside him who wanted to go as a prank, and the person jumped up in fright, and quickly jumped back to the original place.
"Go, go, go! I'll just say it casually!" The man patted his chest with lingering fear.
When he was intimidated by his companion, that person completely lost his mind. As far as he has the guts, it's better not to bother, as any trouble can scare him out of his wits.
"Wow, Mr. Lu brought back so many sand cocoons!" People from the merchant fleet gathered around to watch and join in the fun, and they couldn't help sighing in a low voice, "If this bag is sold to the person who collects sand cocoons, at least five thousand pieces will cost a few dollars!" One hundred thousand star coins? This is too easy to earn!"
There are many people in the team who are mentally active, and hundreds of thousands of star coins are not a lot for them. They went out to run a business before, and the running fee was only about 10,000 star coins. If they are unlucky, there may be more few.
This time they came to the desert and lost so much. Those who died can get a pension, but those who are alive, it is estimated that they will receive at most three or four thousand star coins for their hard work and one or two months. s holiday.
It's better to pick up some sand cocoons, one is enough to cover most of the salary!
Lu Liran looked at the sighing merchant crew member with a complex expression, and asked, "You don't know who is picking up the cocoons?"
"Huh? Did you accept it anonymously?"
Hearing this, Lu Liran guessed that this was probably the professional habit of black market merchants. He slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled kindly at the merchant crew member: "I took it."
"..."
"..."
All quiet.
After a while, someone found his own voice, took a breath and asked Lu Liran: "Five thousand star coins a piece?! Mr. Lu is too rich!!"
"It's a good thing I didn't follow to pick it up... Otherwise, who else would I sell this thing to..."
Little Liuzi looked at the cocoon in his hand without tears, and his tens of thousands of star coins flew away with his little wings.
[Sloppy, I never thought that the person who collected the sand cocoon was actually Brother Lu himself! ! 】
[Five thousand and one! ! Brother Lu, this is too much money! 】
[No, in this way, doesn't it mean that Brother Lu really needs these sand cocoons urgently? ? Why! 】
【Brother Gan Lu doesn’t really have a problem with his heart, does he?】
Lu Liran glanced at Xiaoliuzi, paused and said: "The souvenirs in the desert are quite valuable, even if there are no people who charge such a high price like me, they will usually collect hundreds of star coins one by one, Mr. Squat There will be."
Little Six covered his distressed chest, and nodded slightly sadly: "It's okay, Mr. Lu, I can hold on."
Isn't it just tens of thousands of star coins flying? Anyway, he is still alive, so take a step back and see the sea and the sky.
Knowing that Mr. Lu is the one who collects sand cocoons at a high price, everyone in the merchant fleet also stopped thinking about doing a wave. Those who should rest should rest, those who should eat meat should eat meat, and those who want to drink water should go to the lake. While gurgling dry water.
Lu Liran also found a place to lie down, and talked to the audience in the live broadcast room.
—— "Monitoring the highest number of online users in the live broadcast room of the host: 383,000, the exchange repair ratio: 3.83, the current total repair progress of the appearance: 16.83%"
"The host needs to keep up the good work! The system's rainbow farts can't be contained anymore!"
Lu Liran closed his eyes and endured the noisy system.
Not long after, he heard footsteps coming from beside him.
He turned around and saw Ke Ji walking towards him.
"What's wrong? Everyone else is almost asleep, why are you still tossing?" Lu Liran raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked Ke Ji in a lowered voice.
Ke Ji pursed his lips, and let out a sigh of relief: "I know this question may have crossed the line for you, but I still care about the reason why you accept so many cocoons."
Lu Liran was stunned for a moment, so it was because of this?
He paused, he didn't want to talk about his own affairs with Ke Ji, his private affairs had nothing to do with others. He closed his eyes, and the breath around him became alienated and indifferent, and he just said: "It's true that you have crossed the line, and it has nothing to do with you."
Ke Ji lowered his eyes and his eyes trembled. Even though he guessed Lu Liran's answer, he still felt his heart being squeezed when he heard it.
After so many things, is there still no way to be included in the list that you can trust and ask for help?
He looked at Lu Liran with a complicated look in his eyes that he couldn't explain.
He remembered that night the man's back was tightly pressed against his chest, and they clasped their fingers tightly, like the closest lover.
He heard the man shouting "Ke Ji, Ke Ji" in a subdued and soft sobbing nasal voice.
That night was the only temperature he felt in the ten years of bloody slaughter, and it was the first time he had a real thought that just wanting to protect one person was enough.
The soft, proud, bright, and shining young man in my impression can accurately catch the other party's gaze that follows him all the time every time he looks up. She is so dependent on herself, revealing her softest side to herself without reservation...
After that night, he received news of a large-scale invasion of the Frontline Zerg, and traitors appeared in the team. He didn't have time to wait for Lu Liran to wake up, and he didn't have time to leave an explanation with the other party, so he hurriedly left the camp and went to the front line of the battlefield.
Afterwards, he was seriously injured and fell into a coma, mentally violent. Half a month after waking up, he learned that Lu Liran was injured on the front line, and the hospital ship carrying the wounded was shot down by the Zerg, and his whereabouts are unknown.
He wanted to find someone immediately, but then, there was one battle after another, and the soldiers were overwhelmed.
Countless soldiers' families and lovers were involved in this interstellar war, and he was not the only one who lost it, but he carried the peace and glory of the entire A69 galaxy on his shoulders, and he could not even retire like other soldiers or propose A short break.
He sent a detachment to search for the downed hospital ship, but there was no sign of it, and everyone told him that there were no survivors. It wasn't until the war ended in a bang that he had the opportunity to have time to be an ordinary person.
Ke Ji's breathing became tight.
He realized that Lu Liran couldn't trust him, and even forgot everything they had, because he didn't give him enough sense of security.
Lu Liran avoided Ke Ji's gaze, and was stared at by the man's sad steel-blue pupils, giving him the illusion that he was about to drown in it.
He took a light breath, not understanding why Ke Ji showed such gaze and expression, could it be because he said "It has nothing to do with you"?
It's not very pleasant to hear and a little bit inhumane, but there's no need to be so glass-hearted! ! !
Lu Liran jumped out three exclamation points in his heart, pursed his lips and lowered his eyes and said to Ke Ji, "I just don't like other people to meddle in my business. It's not against you."
But Jin Fei can take care of your business.
Ke Ji thought silently in his heart, and twitched the corner of his mouth. In Lu Liran's trust ranking, he was not even comparable to an ordinary soldier.
"I just hope you don't have to do everything by yourself," he said softly.
Lu Liran gave him a strange look, paused and said, "I have Jin Fei."
Ke Ji's breath stagnates.
Lu Liran waved his hand: "I know you have good intentions, but I don't think there is anything wrong now, so let's stop this topic."
After he finished speaking, he stopped looking at Ke Ji and turned his back to close his eyes.
After a long time, Lu Liran felt the gaze behind him gradually move away.
He breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, and slowly opened his eyes. There was a trace of bewilderment in his dark brown eyes, and he was getting more and more confused about this omega.
There was silence all around, only the sound of the bonfire burning and the occasional desert insect chirping.
Everyone fell asleep, and no one noticed that in the bag near the bonfire, there lay a few cocoons that were stuffed in casually by the little six, and they were gently undulating in the cocoons as if there was a heartbeat.
The cocoons swayed slightly in the warm fur, as if they were about to break out.
The author has something to say: qmq is out of archives tomorrow (5/13 may be closed for another day, cover the pot! 5/14 update will send small red envelopes for compensation!!)
