Chapter 54: Digging a Hole and Accumulating Grain
Food is naturally not in a hurry.
The previous danger, both of them are still uneasy.
No one knows whether the demon beast is dead or alive, whether it has already held a grudge, and when it will come again?
Changing houses?
Nowadays, it is cold and snowy outside, and the snow is chest-thick, how to find it for a while, not to mention that it is not necessarily safe to change places.
It is better to dig a deeper and more complete tunnel on the original site.
Chen Liyi proposed, and the two of them couldn't care about being tired at the moment.
Continue to work.
……
The two walked out of the basement and rummaged through the surrounding ruins.
Pick up the things that are still suitable and put them aside.
What bowls, pots, dry firewood......
These are all necessities of life.
Otherwise, I won't be able to live the rest of the day.
Chen Li's eyes dodged to avoid the vomit made up of the pile of corpses.
Even though he has killed a lot of people, he still can't look directly at this pile of things, and he is faintly disgusting.
"What about these corpses?" Chen Li asked.
"Let's throw it in the yard, it stinks, and it just happened to be buried with the excavated soil." Zhou Hong covered her nose and said.
That's true...... Slur over!
In the middle of the night, Chen Li could only carry the corpse with Zhou Hong.
These corpses have been corroded beyond recognition, and it is impossible to distinguish who is who, except for men and women.
Fortunately, in just a few moments, the corpses were almost frozen, and they were covered in hard bodies, and after wrapping them in rags, they didn't have much mucus from vomit.
After moving the body, he immediately 'patted' a cleaning charm for himself and Zhou Hong.
I couldn't help but sniff my hands again.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect.
A strange smell lingers on the tip of the nose.
"I'll smell it!" Zhou Hong knew his temperament, and grabbed his hand with a smile and sniffed: "Don't worry, it's tasteless!" ”
Chen Li snorted angrily and shook off his hand.
"It's really idle, work!"
……
Three days later, at noon.
Chen Li walked through the chest-high thick snow and struggled forward.
Although he could use a light talisman, just to save a little effort on the road, he burned a light talisman that was now worth four low-grade spirit stones, which was undoubtedly too extravagant, and he would rather walk slowly by himself.
Originally, it was only ten minutes to walk slowly.
He walked for nearly an hour, and even with his physique, he was exhausted and panting, and sweating profusely.
"Bang bang bang!"
Chen Li stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Zhang Daoyou, are you there?"
It didn't take long for the door to open.
Revealing a face full of smiles and premature aging.
"Oh, Chen Daoyou, why did you come here in this weather, but the talisman is not enough, quickly, come in, it's cold outside!" Zhang Yan turned his head and shouted at the house again:
"Lady, make tea quickly, remember to have good spiritual tea."
"Okay, Dad!" Zhang Shuniang showed her face and went to the kitchen with brisk steps.
This fiery enthusiasm made Chen Li a little uncomfortable.
He shook the snow from his robe, stomped his foot and walked into the door, and said with a smile: "The talisman skin does have to buy some ......."
"Then you came just in time, I was idle during this time, but I made a lot of good talisman skins, I'll show you!" When Zhang Yan heard this, the smile on his face became even more enthusiastic.
"Don't rush yet!" Chen Li said helplessly.
"Yes, yes, yes! Look at my impatience, Chen Daoyou sit down! ”
"It's not a good winter, this time I'm going to buy four hundred and fifty at a time, but I don't know if my friend's inventory is enough?" After Chen Li sat down, he said.
That's not a lot.
He has now cultivated the fifth level of qi, and his spiritual power is no longer what it used to be.
If you want to draw a 'Charm to ward off evil spirits', you can draw three in a row.
You can also draw two in a row by drawing 'Arrow Avoidance'.
Under normal circumstances, you can draw once at noon and again at night before going to sleep, and you can already draw five symbols a day.
Four hundred and fifty sheets is only three months' supply.
What's more, in the next time, he is going to start researching the 'Light Body Talisman' again, and under a lot of trial and error, the consumption of the talisman skin will obviously not be small.
"Don't worry, there is enough stock this time!" Zhang Yan hurriedly said.
Chen Li hesitated in his heart whether to ask Zhang Yan for advice on the preparation method of the 'light talisman', but considering that he would have to talk about food next, he thought about it or forgot it, and the overall situation was important.
It's still better not to be exciting.
Zhang Shuniang quickly brought tea.
Chen Li thanked her, took a sip of tea and put it down, and didn't talk anymore, and began to talk about what happened some time ago and the main intention of this time.
Zhang Yan was shocked when he heard this, lost his square inch, and stood up and said.
"You've encountered a monster...... It's, it's really...... How did you get out of it? ”
Chen Li sighed and said: "In addition to digging deep holes, what other way can I think, although people are fine, but the house was destroyed by demon beasts, and now our husband and wife can only live in the cave, and every day is dark, fortunately, it is safe." ”
"This is indeed a safe and good way...... Zhang Yan's eyes lit up, and then he thought about it: "I have a lot of grain here, I can even you some, but this price?" ”
"How much did Daoyou buy at the beginning, I will add fifty percent!"
"Good! Deal. ”
……
As long as he doesn't learn talismans from him, Zhang Yan's attitude has always been good.
Also helped with home delivery.
At the invitation of Chen Li, he visited the half-finished tunnel again, and then he began to sit still and hurried home.
"The food I bought this time can only last for half a month!" Zhou Hong took stock of the food he bought and said.
"There is always a lot of food stored in winter, and I will go to the nearby neighborhood tomorrow to ask." Chen Li said.
……
For a few days.
Chen Li frequently visits the surrounding neighborhoods.
Under the 'big handful' of spirit stones, the process of buying grain at a high price was very smooth.
There is nothing to go into detail.
During this period, the expansion of the tunnels has not stopped, but it is no longer like the day and night at the beginning.
After another ten days, the whole project was completely completed.
The new cave is twenty meters deep into the ground.
Inside, a fifty-meter-long tunnel was extended, with two exits, the first and the second on the other street, now covered by thick snow.
If you encounter danger, you can quickly flee in this direction.
The place of residence is still located under the original exit.
Chen Li and Zhou Hong opened up a fifty-square-meter basement.
After all, if you want to cook on a fire, you have to be close to the exit.
……
During this time, the demon beast never appeared again, but Chen Li felt that such a powerful creature would not die so easily.
After all, it is a second-order demon beast, comparable to the terrifying existence of the foundation building period.
Maybe I didn't dare to come here again after learning the lesson, or maybe I was nesting in a corner and licking my wounds silently.
At the same time, Chen Li finally had time to study new spells and talismans.
