Hoarding money to raise cubs Day 71 [First update]
The bonfire by the lake was burning quietly, occasionally there was a crackling sound of branches being cracked, and the figure was shaking slightly under the light of the fire.
"Liuzi?" A very soft call came from the right side of Xiaoliuzi.
A man quietly approached from not far away, squatted in front of Xiao Liuzi, and called Xiao Liuzi again in a low voice.
Xiao Liuzi closed his eyes and smacked his mouth twice, waved his hands like waving a fly, then turned over and turned sideways to the lakeside.
"Well, noisy..." He muttered vaguely, hugged his arms tightly and fell into a deep sleep.
When the man saw this, he was startled at first, but then saw that Xiao Liuzi didn't seem to wake up at all, and he was relieved.
He laughed softly as if he was talking to himself, and muttered, "I really slept like hell."
He quietly stretched out to Xiaoliuzi's cyst, and a few cocoons were lying within easy reach.
"A five thousand star coin..." He swallowed lightly, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
He saw that Lu Liyu and Ke Ji ran to the small hill and returned with a full load, and nothing happened, so he quietly ran out by himself while everyone gathered around to join in the fun.
But he was timid. After walking for tens of meters, the front and back were all in darkness, and he could only see a fire in the camp from a distance, which made him dare not go further.
In the end, he didn't pick up anything, and ran back in desperation, seeing with hot eyes that Little Six had stuffed those cocoons into the bag again.
"It's not too much to share with me, anyway, you picked it up for nothing." While talking to himself, he reached into his bag, picked up a small cocoon, put it in his clothes rare, and put it next to his body.
This is the touch of five thousand star coins. He couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth, thinking a little flutteringly.
"What are you doing?" A low-pitched question came from behind the man, he trembled in fright, turned his head to look over, and saw Xiandan cast a wink over him.
The man shook, and whispered back: "Captain, I'm just curious to see what the cocoons picked up by the six sons look like."
Xiandan gave him a cold look: "Zhan Xiao, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, go back to sleep now!"
The man who was named nodded hastily, smiled mischievously, and left in a hurry.
Xiandan looked at the man running away with a heavy face. He had heard from his subordinates that Zhan Xiao likes to steal things. If you follow this person or that person, they are all trivial things. , not expensive, it is estimated that there is a psychological problem, not uncomfortable.
Everyone in the team didn't mind the other party's little problem, and Xiandan had never seen the other party stealing chickens and dogs under his nose, so he thought that person's little hobby was just greedy for petty things, which was far from "stealing", so he postponed it for the time being. .
But this time, Zhan Xiao bumped into him. The team must not allow such an unstable factor to exist.
He quickly decided that if they made it out of Salba alive, the man would be expelled from the merchant fleet.
People who were expelled from the Merchant Fleet due to conduct problems were even reported to the dishonesty list and announced in several major chambers of commerce to warn other chambers of commerce and some people who were about to move.
Xiandan withdrew his gaze, looked around and checked the situation around the camp, and saw that the cordon that had been set up before had not been touched, so he went back to rest in peace.
"No problem?" Shu Hua asked vaguely with eyes half-opened and half-closed.
"No problem, let's rest, there are still several hours before dawn." Xiandan replied in a low voice.
Shu Hua nodded, tilted his head and fell asleep again.
Xiandan looked at Liu Zi and Zhan Xiao, feeling a little flustered in his chest.
He frowned, thought for a while and got up again, intending to watch the night.
Shuhua was lying on the edge of Xiandan, and when he felt the movement here, he opened his eyes: "What's wrong?"
"I can't tell, I always feel unstable. Go to sleep, I'll keep watch." Xiandan said.
Hearing this, Shu Hua sat up again and put on his coat, "Forget it, I'll be with you."
The two sat at one end of the camp and the other at the end of the camp, guarding two piles of bonfires, silently looking at the boundless desert in the distance.
The desert at night is cold and silent, as if there is no sign of life.
Shu Hua and Xian Dan looked at such a desert, even in a trance, it was hard to imagine that the terrible encounters they encountered during the day and the desert at this time were actually the same place.
Zhan Xiao didn't fall asleep either, he clutched the callus hidden on his body and couldn't help laughing silently.
He even thought that when the day dawned, he would run to the other side of the hill by himself and pick up all the cocoons. Anyway, there is nothing to be afraid of after dawn.
A cocoon is worth 5,000 star coins. I don’t know how many there are. It’s like a depression full of gold and blood diamonds. No wonder the guide said that there are treasures everywhere in Salba’s oasis, which is true!
With such a thought in his mind, he slowly fell asleep, not noticing the movement of the cocoon that he stuffed into his bosom at all.
The cocoon, which was sleeping, woke up early due to the dry and warm body temperature, and was restless in the thick cocoon shell.
If Zhan Xiao was still awake at this moment, he could clearly see that inside the brown-white cocoon, a pair of sharp black mandibles pierced the cocoon shell, pulling it so thin that it was almost transparent.
After a few minutes, there was a slight tearing sound coming from Zhan Xiao's clothes, the movement was so light that it was almost imperceptible.
Zhan Xiao subconsciously raised his hand and scratched his chest twice, then turned over and went back to sleep.
The worm crouching under Zhan Xiao's close-fitting clothes slowly crawled out of the thick cocoon. Just seeing the black and shiny carapace and a pair of huge and sharp upper-jawed halberds, one knew that this thing was not easy to mess with.
It crawled motionless on the spot, but slightly spread out a pair of thin transparent wings on both sides of the carapace. The cicada wings were like two tiny fingernails, and suddenly vibrated at an extremely fast frequency.
The audio that is inaudible to the human ear lingers out.
I don't know how long it took, but no one can see that in the low-lying land at the other end of the small sand dune, the countless living cocoons hanging on the vines began to stir, as if being blown by the wind, back and forth, left and right, and the frequency was extremely fast Shaking, as if about to be shaken off.
The male insect lying in Zhan Xiao's clothes still maintained the same posture, and the pair of cicada wings, which were so thin that they were almost transparent, didn't stop vibrating.
It wasn't until the small insects broke out of their cocoons in the low-lying sand dunes on the opposite side and sent out such high-frequency wing vibrations that it gradually retracted its cicada wings.
If Lu Liye saw it at this time, he would recognize that the worm looked like a halberd worm.
The halberd beetle has a fierce reputation. It can lift things a thousand or eight hundred times heavier than itself, and its pair of upper jaws can easily crush anything. Some people even call it Hercules, the Hercules in Greek mythology.
But the common halberd does not have such a pair of wings that can fly.
The insects in the low-lying land are like distant relatives of the beetles, except that they are not divided into males and females. Each adult beetle has a bulging abdomen like a big pocket, and there is a breeding bag in the abdomen. There are at least six or seven reptiles that are still larvae.
Once the reptile is about to form a cocoon, it will leave the cocoon and climb to a vine to wait for the cocoon. After the cocoon is formed, the cocoon is an adult with a huge mandible and wings.
On the other side of the low-lying land, there were at least a thousand cocoons hanging on the vines. As the first cocoon was torn apart by a pair of halberds, the second and third...
Thousands of cocoons were broken away one after another, and black, potbellied worms flew out of the cocoons one by one, and the cicada wings shook, forming a loud movement that could not be ignored.
Lu Liyu and Ke Ji opened their eyes in the sleeping bag and got up instantly.
Xiandan dozed off with his head propped up. He was stunned for two seconds before he realized the movement. He jumped up from the rock suddenly. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Lu Lizhen and Ke Ji standing up, looking vigilantly at the low-lying land. direction.
With a sudden shock in his heart, he exchanged a glance with Shu Hua from a distance, and immediately called out to all the team members.
Shu Hua roared: "Everyone wake up! Get up!"
"Hurry up! Don't get confused! There is a situation!"
The people in the Merchant Fleet immediately stood up one by one, their eyes were still a little dazed, and they obviously didn't realize what happened.
"Where is where? What's the situation?!"
There was a sudden clamor in the camp, covering up the movement.
Little Six opened his eyes and shouted loudly: "Who's gone!?"
Shu Hua rushed over and gave Xiao Liu a shudder: "Bah, bah, everyone is here!"
Qin Qi rubbed his eyes, muttered and asked: "Brother Shu, what's the situation, it seems that there is nothing wrong?"
"Everyone be quiet!" Lu Li shouted in a low voice.
The commotion in the camp disappeared in an instant. After hearing Lu Li'er's order, everyone subconsciously closed their mouths, and even slowed down their breathing unconsciously.
As soon as it quieted down, the movement in the low-lying land on the other side of the dune became particularly abrupt and loud.
"Om--", "Here--"
Now, everyone heard it, and there were gasps one after another in the camp——
"What's that sound?!"
"I always feel like I've heard it somewhere..."
"I also feel a little familiar, it must not be a good thing...Damn it, where did I hear it!?"
Xiandan and Shuhua approached Lu Lichen and Ke Ji at the same time, Xiandan lowered his voice and asked Lu Lichen: "Mr. Lu, it sounds like it's coming from a place you've been to before. Could it be that there is something wrong with those cocoons?"
Lu Lizhen frowned. He was also thinking about this issue just now, but he shook his head and said: "Impossible, the cocoons we brought back are all empty cocoons. I don't know how long they have been there. It makes no sense to cause them to change. .”
"Empty cocoons are medicine. If there is a problem, it should be mentioned in the "Medical Classics." Qin Qi didn't know when he approached, and explained in a low voice.
Shu Hua nodded appreciatively: "If there is something wrong with the cocoon brought back, then there should have been a reaction on the other end, and it is impossible to wait until now."
Listening to the sound that seemed to be getting louder and even approaching faintly, Xiandan swallowed: "Then what's going on now? Does Mr. Lu have any ideas?"
Lu Lichen pursed his lips and said to Xiandan: "Let your people pack up their things. No one can tell what's going on there, so we can only withdraw first."
"Withdrawing may not be helpful. If the source of the problem is in the team, no matter where you withdraw, you will be caught up." Ke Ji spoke abruptly, but rarely refuted Lu Li's plan.
His eyes darkened, and he looked at Xiaoliuzi: "The cocoons we brought back must be fine, but what about the ones they brought back?"
Qin Qi was stunned for a moment, and then took a deep breath—he vaguely remembered that when Little Six showed them, he could still see the cocoon undulating slightly, like the heart of something was beating slightly.
At that time, he thought it was just a cocoon shell, but he was dazzled and didn't think about it.
Qin Qi's back was instantly covered with a thick layer of cold sweat.
The author has something to say: ah, put a chapter first! Throw it out after writing the second update! It must be before the wee hours of the morning!
I thought I could write a manuscript while I was playing in Changsha, but I didn’t expect it to be so spicy that I got acute gastroenteritis orz
A lamp in Changsha, delicious and really spicy (tears shed
