Chapter 48
Chapter 48
The sun always comes late in the morning at the end of winter. Before the whole world lights up, it seems that there is light shining through the night through the veil. Everything is covered with a light and dim cyan color, like a thin layer of mist. .
The birds were the first to be awakened. A gleam of light woke them up from their dreams, and they sang clear songs with dew in their mouths.
Listening to the melodious singing of birds, Qi Guang knew that a new day had arrived.
After time travel, he spent the whole night with his eyes open for the first time. Although he didn't feel very tired because of his physical evolution, the lack of sleep did give him the sluggish illusion that his body hadn't had a good rest.
There was a rustling sound from the corner of the wall, Qi Guang closed his eyes for a second and pretended to be asleep, and focused all his attention on that corner.
Heath woke up.
The young man yawned and stretched, and spread out his retracted wings——half-stretched wings touched the wall with their tips, and retracted in aggrieved manner.
The conditions are limited, and Heath is already satisfied with having a bed to sleep at night.
He glanced at the position of the kang, and sniffed the breath of Qi Guang in the air.
The quilt was rolled quietly and without any movement, as if the people inside were sleeping soundly, but there was a vague and slightly choking smell of tension in the air, telling him that Qi Guang was not only not asleep, but was also very alert and alert to him.
Well... After all, he was a stranger who broke in, so it's not incomprehensible.
Heath grabbed the blanket on his body to comfort himself, then got up as quietly as possible, pretending that he didn't notice that Qi Guang was sleeping.
Exposure at this time will definitely make it more difficult for Qi Guang to trust him. You must know that foolish and capable young people are the most popular.
After making up his mind, Heath quickly wrapped himself in the thick leather jacket Qi Guangjun gave him and got out of bed. While panting from the cold, he tiptoedly lit the fireplace.
He is still not very proficient in making fire.
Drilling wood to make fire is a unique technology in the earth environment. Like his hometown Floda, where the sea and sky occupy the entire place, the fire is made with a seabed ore called "boiling".
However, after two days of practice and watching Qi Guang make a fire on the spot, Heath was able to light the firewood within half an hour, letting the flames warm the cold room little by little.
Moreover, the fireplace is connected to Qiguang's earth kang, so if the fireplace is heated in advance, the earth kang that Qi Guang is lying on will gradually heat up.
Regardless of when Qi Guang pretended to be asleep, when Qi Guang can trust him and sleep peacefully, then the bed will be warm when he wakes up.
Heath added enough firewood to the fireplace, boiled hot water and put it aside, then gently opened the door and slipped out through the crack.
hiss--
The cold wind outside made Heath shiver, and his exhaled breath turned into white mist and drifted away.
In the dark blue foggy forest, the cramped and shrunken wings were finally able to stretch out to their fullest, stretching and relaxing from the root to the tip of the wing, flapping happily a few times.
The black periosteum is translucent, and the blood vessels like spider webs can be seen inside.
The wing bones are thin and light, making one doubt whether such thin bones can support the strong wind during flight, and the wings have many and flexible joints, which can freely make complex movements like the fingers of human species.
Because no feathers have been grown, the wings only have a thin periosteum and a layer of fine fluff. When they are folded up, they don't look very big. However, when they are fully unfolded, you will find that his wingspan is surprisingly large, and it is not like that at all. A little bit of small wings can stretch wide.
Heath flapped his wings, fanning the wind that swayed the withered grass on the spot, driving him a few centimeters off the ground.
In terms of flying, this height is negligible, and wings without feathers can reach this level is already the limit, but it made him sneeze due to the cold wind blowing up by himself.
There are no feathers to keep warm, and the wings are cold when the wind blows.
Heath curled up his wings again and wrapped them in a thick leather jacket.
Qi Guang is much taller than him, and the leather jacket looks roomy when he wears it, just enough to wrap the wings trailing behind tightly, but there are two high bumps on the back, which looks like a hunchback if you don't look carefully.
Stretching his wings, Heath fetched water by the river with a bucket, and picked a few plants along the way that still stubbornly bloom small flowers in the cold season.
He didn't recognize these plants, but his instincts as a beast told him that they were safe and harmless, not poisonous and not emitting disturbing smells.
Very suitable for decorating the house.
Qi Guang would often pick up some bottles and cans from the seashore, probably the last relics left by humans on earth.
Most of those things are made of strange materials with rough and translucent surfaces, and Heath likes the light and hazy aesthetic feeling very much.
But apart from being pretty, the small volume of bottles and jars has no practical value. Except for some broken by Qi Guang, the pieces are sharpened and tied to wooden sticks as weapons, and the rest are just placed in a row to satisfy Qi Guang's occasional nostalgic complex.
Heath added water to a whole row of bottles and jars, and put small flowers in them. The flowers and green leaves added a little freshness to the dusty room.
Feathered beast species all have good aesthetic and artistic talents, especially feathered males, which may be related to their habit of building nests during courtship. They like it very much and are good at decorating their living places beautifully and warmly.
After finishing this, Heath began to wipe the shelves again.
When building the house, Qi Guang made a shelf out of bamboo, with three layers to hold his small tools, and a tool corner with a large tool basket on the side.
Busy without touching the ground, the chicken cub boy is also a full-fledged snail girl.
Qi Guang "woke up" when Heath was about to make breakfast.
He couldn't eat something that passed through other people's hands, and woke up in time in case Heath finished his breakfast and couldn't eat it again, wasting food in vain.
"I'll make breakfast in the future." Qi Guang took the clay pot from Heath and skillfully started cooking polenta.
The recipes in winter are actually very monotonous. Polenta pickles are paired with some dried meat and winter melon cabbage. Most of the time, it is just to fill the stomach.
It's good to be able to eat enough. Compared with the precariousness of the last days, Qi Guang is very satisfied in the current life.
"Yeah." Heath nodded obediently, gave up control of the food, and stood aside to watch Qi Guang make breakfast.
Seeing that Qi Guang threw two pieces of meat into the polenta, he couldn't help laughing with two shallow dimples on his cheeks.
"Let me sweep the floor." Heath quickly found a new job for himself, diligently put the rice bowl on the edge of Qiguang, and picked up the corn ear broom to clean the floating dust on the ground.
Houses with soil embryo walls and mud floors are prone to dust accumulation, and the ground needs to be cleaned frequently and compacted frequently to make it look smooth and clean.
Qi Guang's eyes glanced at the small flowers in the row of glass bottles by the window, he didn't say anything, he just put a piece of meat in Heath's bowl of polenta.
A relatively small piece.
The young man was more proficient at work than he had imagined, and he was unexpectedly diligent and capable despite his young master's face, which could be regarded as a labor force that could help.
If he can work, Qi Guang doesn't mind giving him better food.
……
However, security still needs to be observed and not be fooled by appearances.
Thinking so, Qi Guang turned over the porridge and hid the meat at the bottom.
When we first met, his reaction was too violent. At that time, the threat of violent force might cause a backlash. Let's show a friendly attitude first to gain more trust.
Qi Guang adjusted his expression to be more or less friendly, and asked Heath to come over for breakfast.
"There's still a little wool left, I'll teach you how to spin after dinner." Qi Guang said, "Prepare your own clothes."
It is impossible for Heath to wear his clothes all the time, not to mention that the difference in body size is not small, and it is not a long-term solution for Heath's two wings to always be tucked into the clothes.
Moreover, Qi Guang didn't have a few pieces of clothes in total. After giving them to Heath, he couldn't even change and wash them. The wear and tear of the two of them was double. Qi Guang originally planned to save these clothes until next year.
As soon as Qi Guang opened his mouth, Heath put down the bowl in his hand and nodded seriously.
"Then go out with me in the afternoon to collect firewood." Qi Guang continued, making Heath's arrangements clear, "The live broadcast will be the day after tomorrow, and I will tell everyone about you at that time."
"Okay." Heath's expression was a capitalized and well-behaved one, and he had no objection to Qiguang's arrangement.
Well worth a pat on the head.
"Let's eat then." Qi Guang glanced at him, picked up the bowl and started to eat breakfast.
Having one more labor force can save a lot of time and use the same time to do more things.
For example, when Heath was honestly collecting firewood, Qi Guang could be a little lazy and find a remote place behind his back to study his evolved ability to determine whether it was worth the pain for so long.
The effect of physique evolution is very easy to see, whether it is strength or speed, it is much stronger than before. Correspondingly, Qi Guang's attack ability has also improved, and he has the so-called "attack instinct".
His body has more thoughts than himself, and when he senses danger, he doesn't need to think, and his body simply completes the entire process of defense-dodge-counterattack.
——Qi Guang himself didn't react, neither did the cat held down by him.
The cat would have liked to pounce on the Twoleg from behind and give it a loving lick and rub - it does this a lot and knows how to throw the Twoleg down without hurting the fragile Twoleg and still enjoy the rub and caress.
Caught off guard by the Twolegs turning its head to fight back, the cat widened its eyes and let out a shocked "meow?"
Qi Guang also found out that it was a cat, but he didn't rush to let go.
He looked at the cat for a while, the yellow-green cat's eyes were clean and innocent.
This shouldn't be a person...
Qi Guang scratched the cat's chin with his other hand, and the cat squinted its eyes and rubbed against his hand, purring in comfort.
Exactly like a cat.
With a serious expression, Qi Guang rolled the cat from the tip of the ear to the tip of the tail, and rolled the cat on the ground to reveal its fur belly, which was very comfortable.
Today, the Twolegs served the cat very well. The cat licked Qi Guang's face, making his face drool.
Qi Guang wiped his face, torn between whether the cat was a real cat or not.
Since there are feather-type beasts, there are also cat-type beasts.No matter how fluffy it looks, you have to know that Da Mao was completely like a chicken cub before, and the cat looks a little smarter than Da Mao.
Thinking that the cat might make a big change for him, Qi Guang became emotionally ups and downs.
He couldn't help but retract the hand that was stroking the cat, and took a few steps back.
The cat tilted its head, a little confused about what Twolegs wanted to do.
When the grooming is obviously comfortable, why do you suddenly run to the side?
The cat meowed at Qi Guang a few times, urging him to come over quickly.
Qi Guang took a deep breath. He knew that he could get the correct answer from the system by spending a few points at this time, but he had just experienced the blow of Da Mao's transformation into a human being, and Qi Guang felt that he might not be able to bear it again.
He leaned over and touched the cat's head, and the balance in his heart shifted a little towards "this is a real cat".
Even if it's fake, let him wait a few days before talking.
"That..." Heath held the firewood, stood a few steps away, and watched helplessly.
"Huh?" Qi Guang pushed away the cat's approaching face, "What's the matter?"
"..." Heath stared at the cat that was persistently trying to lick Qi Guang, and gritted his teeth, "It's nothing."
Calm down, don't rush up and give that cat a wing.
He is no longer the cute big hair raised by Qi Guang. After becoming a human, his status will plummet and he will definitely be crushed by that cat.
Heath took a deep breath, piled the firewood in his arms on the ground, and whispered: "I'll pick up some more, the air is a bit humid today, and it might rain tomorrow."
Beast species are more sensitive to weather changes. Even if they can't be as accurate as weather forecasts, they are definitely more useful than fluffy ones who can only roll around and act like a baby.
Heath rubbed and glared at the cat secretly, wanting very much to rub into Qi Guang's arms like before, to be rubbed and combed for down feathers.
The cat didn't like this guy who smelled like a bird either. He breathed threateningly at Heath, and slapped his tail on the ground twice.
This kind of thumping sparrow should be swallowed for supper!
It grows so big after a few days of not seeing each other. If you don't eat it and keep it for feeding, it will be a waste of food!
