Above the stars

When Bandit Tang was carrying his 'prey' home, the old man and Xiaopang were smashing rocks.

To be more precise, the old man was lying on an old rattan chair, holding a few big tree roots soaked in a big iron vat in his hands, and commanding Xiaopang to use a big hammer to carry Xiaopang himself down from the mountain. Big stones are shaped into neat squares

Shameless old thing!

Square stones are used to build houses. Such houses are strong and well-sealed. They can not only prevent monsters from colliding with them, but also protect them from solar storms and acid rain erosion.

After the cataclysm, not even a tenth of humanity will survive. Conditionally relocate to Nova, which is the Red Moon base that scientists and plutocrats have been developing for a long time.

Those without conditions, such as the Tang bandits, became orphans in the ruins.

In order to resist all kinds of terrible animals or compatriots that are more terrible than animals, people naturally gather together, so there are human gathering areas one after another.

It is human nature to hug each other for warmth, but of course, we must be wary of hugging venomous snakes and hedgehogs.

People die every day in the gathering area, and new wanderers arrive from somewhere. Therefore, a lot of stones are needed to build houses here.

Masonry, a profession that was on the verge of being eliminated before the Catastrophe, is now in short supply and has become the first choice for young people to find a job and make a living.

"Brother, are you back?" Xiaopang stopped the hammer in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and greeted Tang Bandit honestly.

It didn't matter that he wiped it like this, the dust on his palms mixed with the sweat on his face, and there were a few fingerprints on his face, suddenly turning into a big painted face.

The old man pointed at Xiaopang and cursed, angrily roaring: "How many times have I told you? Don't wipe your face while you're working. You've made such a mess, where can I get water to wash your face?"

"When did you have someone wash your face with water?" Bandit Tang defended Xiaopang, sneered again and again, and said, "Why don't you ask someone to wipe your face with your sleeve? We all forget when we last washed our face."

"Whenever I washed my face last time, you wash your face the same time." The old man replied rudely.

Because Tang Bandit and Xiaopang both use the face washing water washed by the old man to wash their faces, the old man is ranked first, and Tang Bandit is half a year older than Xiaopang, so they are lucky to be ranked second, and Xiaopang is ranked third

Although there were only two people in front of him, because he hadn't washed his face for a long time, when it was Xiaopang's turn, he was almost a pot of mud.

I’m not sure whether it will be clean after washing, but it must be very moisturizing.

Otherwise, how could you still be as fat as a flower-faced steamed bun after working and living in harsh conditions exposed to wind and sun all day long?

After the cataclysm, a large amount of water resources on the surface of the planet were polluted, and even the groundwater became highly corrosive due to the backflow of acid rain and the entry of toxic gases.

That's not water, that's sulfuric acid. Finding clean, usable water is extremely difficult.

"That's called washing your face? Do you still want to be embarrassed when you say this?"

"You bastard, you have the nerve to talk to me? What did you carry on your back when I asked you to go hunting?"

"People." Tang Bandit said.

The old man shook his head, looked at Bandit Tang seriously, and said in a deep voice, "How many times have I said this, we don't eat this. It wasn't possible before, and it won't be possible in the future."

"The meat is sour." Xiaopang grinned.

"."

Seeing Tang Bandit and the old man looking at him in horror, Xiaopang was so frightened that he quickly explained, "I haven't eaten it. I heard from Grandma Wang at the entrance of the village. I don't eat it, not even to death of starvation." .”

"This is not for you to eat, I picked it up from outside." Tang Bandi patted the woman's plump buttocks and shouted: "Hey, wake up."

He carried the woman back like a sheep, his shoulders pressing against her abdomen, and the woman's upper body was casually thrown behind him.

He was holding the two-headed sheep in his left hand, and had to pat her with his right hand to wake her up.

Well, it is indeed easier to take pictures this way.

When he and the woman who fell from the sky looked at each other, the woman closed her eyes and passed out.

This made Tang Bandit feel deeply frustrated, and for a moment, he even had a certain degree of doubt about his appearance.

Of course, when he thought of his name, he instantly dismissed this ridiculous idea.

"Picked it up? Where did you pick it up?"

"Hate Mountain." Tang Bandit said.

"How did you pick it up?"

"I was carrying the two-headed sheep home. Unexpectedly, a white light lit up in the sky, and then a big tin box fell down. She climbed out of the tin box."

The old man climbed up from the wicker chair, walked forward and looked at the woman's clothes and appearance carefully, and said with a solemn expression: "They should have come from Xinxing, and they don't know what disaster happened. We can't keep people like this, so hurry up and put her there." Send away."

"Okay." Although Tang Bandi felt that the old man's character was not good, he believed in his survival wisdom. Otherwise, a small group like them, one old and two young, would have been eaten up and gnawed down to the bones.

Bandit Tang turned around and left with the woman on his shoulders. When he reached the gate of the small courtyard, he asked aloud, "Where are you sending it?"

The old man showed his signature expression when he was constipated. After struggling for a while, he waved his hand and said, "Since you picked it up, it is a personal item gifted to you by God. Whether to throw it away or keep it, you can decide for yourself. manage."

After finishing speaking, the old man walked back to the house with a big tea mug.

"."

Tang Bandit was stunned.

This old guy actually resorted to the poisonous trick of ignoring things that don't have anything to do with him?

"Brother, keep it." Xiaopang wiped the snot from his nose and stood beside him and reminded: "Keep it for us to knock stones."

"."

－－－－－

When the girl opened her eyes, she saw Tang Bandi taking out a dark green sticky object from his mouth and applying it to her exposed calf.

Snapped!

Very precise!

That unknown mass just happened to cover the wound on the calf, and the strong coolness hit, suppressing the burning sensation that was originally hot by a lot. It was only then that she smelled the fragrance of herbs.

"What are you doing?" the girl asked.

His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't drank water for a long time.

"Treat the disease." Tang Bandi said. "You are injured. There are eleven wounds on your body, three big ones, nine small ones. Oh, eight small ones."

".Don't have any tools for making medicine?"

"Yes." Tang Bandit said. "It's outside. I'm too lazy to pick it up and there's no water to clean it."

"."

"Besides, my mouth has been a bit inflamed recently. The juice from the leaves of the fire snake tree has anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. I don't want to waste it."

Very reasonable!

"Thank you." The girl said aloud.

At the moment of life and death, all details can be ignored.

People are starving to death and you still despise others for not washing the bowl they serve you. That's either stupid or foolish.

Thinking of this, the girl glanced at Tang Bandit's Wuqing mouth and thought, fortunately it was not a bowl for rice.

"Who are you? Where is this place?" the girl asked.

Tang Bandit looked at the woman and said, "I should ask you this question first, right? I have taken in a woman of unknown origin, and I am also under great pressure."

The old man doesn't care, the fat guy can't. He has to be responsible for his own life and safety.

He has already dedicated his meager share of clean water every day, and even used the leaves of the snakeskin tree that he has stored for a long time, and he may sacrifice more

Therefore, he must find out the identity of this woman.

"I'm from Xinxing." The girl looked at Tang Bandit and said.

This makes her attitude more sincere.

"I can tell." Tang Bandit nodded. Her origins can be seen at a glance from her clothes and the pile of iron shells she rides on.

There are no such high-tech products on the ruins.

Besides, her face is so white.

On top of the ruins, there is either acid rain or solar magnetic storms. There is a lack of food and water, and the living environment is extremely harsh. Who can have such skin?

Except Xiaopang!

"We came to Blue Star to explore, but the spacecraft had an accident. At the critical moment, I took the escape capsule and escaped," the woman said.

"May I have your name?"

"Phoenix," the woman said.

"Phoenix?"

"Phoenix."

"Liar." Tang Bandi curled his lips and said loudly.

"."

"As I said, you have eleven wounds on your body, two of which are sword wounds, one wound pierced by a bullet, and the others are scratches from falling. If there is an accident on the spaceship, the sword wounds on your body and Where did the bullet wound come from?”

"Besides, I know that there is a Phoenix Empire on the new star. Are you from the Phoenix Empire? You just woke up, and you may not have had time to make up your fake name, so when I asked your name, you just said Phoenix. "

Fenghuang looked at Bandit Tang in surprise, thinking, this guy who just made mistakes in addition and subtraction of single digits has such a delicate and keen mind?

Suddenly, she felt a chill running down her spine: What if he deliberately exposed his flaws?

He deliberately pretended to be a mediocre young man in order to let himself relax his vigilance and extract more useful information from his own mouth.

terrible!

Fenghuang sighed softly, and said: "My name is indeed Fenghuang. There are many girls in the Phoenix Empire named Fenghuang. I am just one of them."

Tang Bandit nodded and said, "I can accept this reason."

It's one thing to accept it or not, it's another thing to believe it or not.

"As for the sword wounds and gunshot wounds on my body, I didn't want to say these. I am a student of the First Royal Military Academy of the Phoenix Empire. This time, we are led by our instructor to explore the Blue Star to find the legendary ancient sites."

"At the beginning, everything went smoothly. But until we found a tomb of the king. A group of people wanted to take that tomb as their own, so there was a fierce conflict. I ran into the spaceship in time Only when you enter the escape cabin can you have the chance to escape.”

"Where are the others?" Tang Bandit asked.

"Most of them are dead."

"Those who are not dead are those who want to take over the tomb as their own. In order to kill people and silence them, they may track your whereabouts, right?"

Phoenix nodded and said, "Yes."

She couldn't hide this, and she had to be prepared.

"But don't worry. When my injuries get better, I will leave immediately in the escape pod and won't cause you any trouble."

"Then when will your injury heal?" Tang Bandit asked expectantly. "Is it okay tonight?"

Phoenix glanced outside and asked, "What time is it now?"

"Nine thirty-five in the evening." Bandit Tang raised his wrist to look at the electronic watch he 'picked up' on his wrist, and said, "It is also possible that the error of the forty-five minute watch is less than ten minutes. There’s not much time left for you.”
