Chapter 52: Counting the Harvest
"Yes, you guys keep making trouble, I'll go take a shower." Si Moxue said as she walked to the bathroom - after so many days of trekking in the wasteland and being burned by smoke in a chemical factory, she felt that she was now a big ham that had failed to be cured, and her whole body was full of sour and smelly rancid smell, and there was a smell of smoke mixed with it.
"It just so happened that I boiled water, you can use it."
There was a sound of water in the bathroom, and after a while, the water stopped, and Si Moxue shouted in the bathroom: "Where is my towel?" Where did you put it? ”
Todd was cleaning up the leftovers of breakfast outside - after Smoxue left, Kaito went out early and returned late to work to earn money, and Mia's little temper refused to clean up, so the work naturally fell to Todd.
Fortunately, she is not pampered, and her ten fingers do not touch the spring water, and it is easy to clean up. When Si Moxue called her in the bathroom, she just finished wiping the table, holding a pile of bowls.
"Towels? Oh, your towel is so torn, I'm going to wipe the table, you wait a minute, I'll go get you a new one. Doll answered outside, and then turned to Mia on the side and said, "Go, get the towel." ”
Mia slumped on the old blanket spread on the ground, turned over lazily when she heard the words, and said coquettishly: "Don't, people don't want to ...... meow"
Doll was expressionless: "Do you get up on your own, or do I put down my things and beat you up?" ”
"Climb on your own!" Mia catapulted from the ground with a carp, "It's not that I'm afraid of you meowing, I just want to help Xiao Xue'er get a towel." ”
She went to the back room to get a new towel, and handed it to Sim Moxue through the door, and didn't forget to ask for credit: "Oh, Xiao Xue'er, the towel is for you, am I a great meow?" ”
"Thank you."
Si Moxue thanked her, took the towel and quickly closed the door - it was cold in early spring, Rao was physically strong, and she couldn't stand the cold seamlessly, so when she opened the door for a while, Si Moxue froze and had a lot of goosebumps on her body.
didn't get a reply, Mia pouted when she wrote a grievance, but when she turned around, she instantly turned into a hippie smile: "Thor, why haven't you cleaned up for so long?" Is it old and useless? ”
"Get out." Doll hugged the basin and replied fiercely, "You can do it!" ”
"I don't! Slightly, slightly. ”
……
When Si Moxue changed her clothes and came out of the bathroom, she saw this scene - Dore had a basin in her elbow, chasing Mia around the living room, scolding while chasing, and Mia grimacing at her in front.
Sim Moxue: "...... Thor, I haven't seen you for a few days, you have a good temper? ”
Doll stopped, hugged the basin and panted and said, "I, you...... Why does this person we owe it so much? ”
"Don't fight with her...... Then again, what's going on in the oasis these days? ”
Si Moxue helped Taoer put the basin in the bathroom and asked by the way.
"The situation, it's not a big deal, it's just that I don't know what's going on recently, the tasks issued by the Silver Hall are either very high-level or very difficult to complete, and there are fewer and fewer tasks suitable for low-level hunters."
Doll threw the towel close to the basin, and the water splashed and fell to her feet, and it was so cold that she curled up her toes:
"If you go late, you won't be able to get any tasks......
Si Moxue let out an "oh" and nodded clearly, no wonder when she went to the silver hall early this morning, the people outside surrounded the mountains and seas, although there were usually many people, but it was far from this point.
"I've always been tasked with saying, meow." Mia had been following the two of them and interjected.
"Come on, your commission, like a mosquito leg, is not as much as you spend a day." Doll sneered.
Si Moxue unconsciously combed her half-cut hair with her fingers, and muttered, "I still have to participate in the assessment......
"What assessment ......?"
Doll was about to ask, when the sound of the door being pushed open came from the door, and then Kaito's voice came through the hall: "Xiaoxue, you're finally back!" ”
He wore a revealing cotton garment, and his right sleeve was empty; There was still dirt on his pants.
Seeing that Si Moxue was in the house, he took off his shoes and strode over, with a small package under his arm: "You can count it back, I bought some bacon on the way." You didn't have breakfast, did you? Let's eat something to cushion our stomachs first, and we'll eat something good at noon. ”
Kaito said as he opened the package, and the bacon was still steaming hot one by one, neatly arranged, apparently not long after it had been baked.
Si Moxue pinched a piece of bacon and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it twice vigorously: "It's delicious, it's delicious, I almost swallowed my tongue." ”
"That's good." Kaito watched Si Moxue chew eagerly until she swallowed it, and then said as if relieved, "I deliberately picked the freshly made ones to buy, this one is the best." ”
Strange to say, since Si Moxue left the oasis to do a mission and came back from a walk around the ghost gate, her relationship with Kaito and Mia has become more familiar.
Humans are social animals in the end, and those who live in isolation are a minority after all. In a short period of time, I witnessed the death of people around me one by one due to force majeure, and I better understood the preciousness of the existence of people around me.
"Uncle Kaito, why did you come back so early today?" Si Moxue swallowed the bacon and asked curiously.
Kaito touched the back of his head and laughed, the scar on his face was touched, lined with one-eyed, and looked horrible and pitiful.
He laughed a few times: "I heard that the investigation team is back, so I asked the foreman for leave and rushed back to see you - how did you cut your hair?" ”
The tone did not take into account the possibility that Simxue might be buried in the wasteland and not be able to come back.
"I'm in a bit of trouble." Si Moxue stroked her hair, "Is it ugly?" ”
"No, no, no, it's beautiful. Xiaoxue has a good foundation to your mother, and she looks good no matter how you get it. Kaito replied without hesitation, and his words were full of exaggerations from the elders to the juniors.
Si Moxue was embarrassed to be praised, lowered her head, and a faint red floated on her face: "Are you praising me, or praising my mother?" ”
After laughing for a while, Kaito made sure that Sim Moxue was not injured before relenting and replacing the torn padded jacket on his body.
"Although there were heavy casualties in this mission, it was also a great reward." Si Moxue snapped her fingers and counted the harvest-
Counting the savings from previous missions, they already have more than 2,500 Gray Coins, which is enough to support the expenses of the four of them for a period of time.
The most important thing is that Si Moxue has saved enough to participate in the assessment of intermediate wasteland hunters because of this mission.
"Xiao Xue'er, what is this?" Mia was holding the album that Sim Moxue had picked up in the room of the chemical factory.
Si Moxue took it and flipped through it a few times - in the chemical plant, she was either running away or on the way to prepare to escape, even if she counterattacked later, she was tired and exhausted, and she didn't have the heart to read this booklet.
The booklet had been partially weathered in a dry and cold environment, and after following Si Moxue through the fire, almost half of it was left, and it made a rustling sound that was on the verge of breaking under the flipping.
"The content of this booklet should be the Old World Scenic Spots...... Si Moxue said hesitantly.
