Chapter Seventy-Four: A Rainy Night
() When the wooden blocks collected by Du Jiujiu were ignited by Hu Xiaoyun's flames, the temperature in the room instantly rose by a few degrees, and the cold feeling was also dispelled.
Even though Du Jiujiu was not afraid of the cold, this feeling of wetness and coldness made her feel very uncomfortable.
Now that there is this bonfire, Du Jiujiu even took out two towels from his backpack, and after handing one to Hu Xiaoyun, he sat by the fire and wiped his hair.
"I don't know when the wound on this face will heal...... Du Jiujiu looked at his shadow reflected from the glass and muttered quietly.
"It is estimated that the venom secreted by the vines affects your healing ability, but don't worry, the wound has already scabbed over, and it should heal soon." Hu Xiaoyun patted her shoulder and comforted her softly.
Du Jiujiu nodded when she heard this, although she didn't care much about her appearance, she didn't want to bear the strange eyes of others.
However, as Hu Xiaoyun said, her wounds have begun to itch, not only on her cheeks, but also on her thighs and arms, which were previously exposed. Presumably, this ugly appearance will not last long.
Hu Xiaoyun roasted his wet clothes in front of the campfire while rummaging through the food in his backpack.
Du Jiujiu pulled out a long wooden stick from the bonfire as a torch, holding the stick in one hand and a long knife in the other, wanting to search the kitchen again to see if there was anything that could be used.
Pushing open the hidden door of the kitchen, the breeze brought by the door blew up the dust that had accumulated for more than ten days, so that Du Jiujiu couldn't help but sneeze.
Although it was choking, there was no rancid smell in the air.
There are a few kitchen knives stuck in the knife rack, although it seems that it can still be used, but the handle covered with oil stains makes her not want to pick up the ** at all.
Several large stainless steel basins were messily placed on a simple wooden table, and there was not even a single vegetable leaf in it.
Du Jiujiu searched inside for a long time, but found nothing except a few packets of seasoning.
Although this store is small, it shouldn't have no reserves at all, at least there should be some dried things like fungus and vermicelli, right?
Du Jiujiu was a little unwilling, and rummaged through the cabinet under the stove, but still found nothing.
When he got up, Du Jiujiu's afterglow suddenly swept to the kitchen floor, and many black particles the size of rice grains were scattered on the greasy floor.
Just as Du Jiujiu approached the torch to see what it was, Hu Xiaoyun's voice suddenly came from outside the kitchen door.
"Jiujiu, don't look for it, we still have a lot of food. If you're tired of the day, you should take a break! ”
"Okay, I'll go over here!" Du Jiujiu replied and glanced at the black particles again.
"Probably something." Du Jiujiu thought to himself, and he didn't want to waste time on these useless things, so he straightened up and walked out of the kitchen.
Hu Xiaoyun was sitting by the campfire at this time, using a few disposable chopsticks from the shop to stick the few remaining dried meat on the fire, and a slight smell of burnt meat soon overflowed the entire room.
Seeing Du Jiujiu coming back, Hu Xiaoyun handed her a copy of the jerky in his hand.
Du Jiujiu took the jerky and just took a bite gently, and the burnt taste instantly conquered her taste buds.
This jerky is made from mutated dog meat, which not only increases the speed at which abilities regenerate, but also tastes much more flavorful than normal meat. At this time, it is baked hot, which adds a lot of points.
Du Jiujiu ate a small amount of meat into his stomach in three bites and two bites, but the feeling of hunger did not alleviate much.
Although there was no food in the kitchen, the fridge next to the dining table was full of drinks and mineral water.
Du Jiujiu then took out two bottles of Coke from them, unscrewed the cap and handed one bottle to Hu Xiaoyun, and then he frowned and ate it with the compressed biscuits he had collected before.
It's still stormy outside, but it's warm inside.
With the crackling sound of the wood blocks, Hu Xiaoyun, who had been nervous for a day, dragged his tired body to sleep deeply after eating and drinking.
However, Du Jiujiu didn't dare to fall asleep.
When I first arrived in this unfamiliar environment, without Xiaowen's spiritual detection, it was impossible to eliminate all the dangers with the naked eye alone.
What's more, there is also a faint strange feeling in this shop, which makes Du Jiujiu's heart a thorn.
Therefore, Du Jiujiu just closed her eyes and rested a little, and the long knife was placed by her hand, once there was an abnormality, she could launch a counterattack at the first time.
As time passed, most of the wood in the campfire burned out.
Du Jiujiu had nothing to do, moved the wooden table in the kitchen, and while baking the fire, he used a long knife to chop it into small pieces little by little, and threw it into the bonfire.
With the addition of new fuel, the campfires are back in full swing.
Du Jiujiu threw the last piece of wood in his hand, dusted off the sawdust on his body, got up and prepared to lie down on the chair for a while.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door that was crackling with raindrops.
Du Jiujiu's body slammed suddenly, holding his breath, and the muscles in his body instantly tensed.
"Sister Xiaoyun, wake up." Du Jiujiu picked up the long knife in his hand, and slowly approached the gate while calling Hu Xiaoyun in a low voice.
Hu Xiaoyun didn't sleep too much, and when he heard Du Jiujiu's shout, a spirit sat up.
"What's wrong!?"
Du Jiujiu didn't reply, but just motioned her to look at the door with her eyes.
As if hearing voices from inside the house, the knock on the door began to sound again, but the sound became quieter and quieter.
Hu Xiaoyun also realized his recklessness at this time, covered his mouth with his hands, and tiptoed behind Du Jiujiu.
The house was not big, and Du Jiujiu soon came to the door.
The doors of this row of shops are made of glass, and this one is no exception.
Although it was blocked by Du Jiujiu with a few mats in the store, there were still a few rays of light shining through the gaps between the mats to the outside.
I think it was this light that attracted this uninvited guest outside.
Du Jiujiu slowly lifted a corner of the mat and looked out cautiously.
The rainstorm was still falling, and there was no light in the dark night sky, and Du Jiujiu only saw a vague figure, which was about a man in height.
"Open...... Open the door, please save me, I won't ...... Hurt you. ”
The man outside the house seemed to see someone approaching, and spoke in a low voice, his voice very weak, as if he had been seriously injured.
Du Jiujiu didn't want to meddle in his affairs, but if he was allowed to stand outside like this, he might attract other creatures. So after glancing at Hu Xiaoyun, he gritted his teeth and slowly unlocked the door.
