Above the stars

Tang Bandit and Xiaopang entered the house carrying four pulse guns. Xiaopang said with a greedy look on his face: "Brother, can you give me one?"

Tang Bandit looked at Xiaopang and said, "What's wrong? You want to use a pulse gun to hit rocks? But it's really faster this way."

While talking, he held a pulse gun and handed it to Xiaopang.

In his plan, there was a little fat one.

"Thank you, brother." Xiaopang happily accepted it, holding the pulse gun and wanting to pull the trigger.

Tang Bandit was startled, and quickly held down Xiaopang's arm and said: "This thing is very lethal. What it shoots is not an ordinary bullet, but a lump of energy. When I tried the gun just now, you I also saw it, don’t shoot inside the house.”

"Then I'll go to the yard and try the gun." Xiaopang said.

"Not even in the yard." Tang Bandit stopped him. "With this shot, you won't be able to make a big hole in the courtyard wall?"

"Then I'll go to the door?" The child got a new toy. The first thing he wanted to do was try it out, and the next thing he wanted to do was show it off to his friends.

That's what Xiaopang thinks. He wants to find the skin monkey with the pulse gun.

Tang Bandit banged him on the head and said: "Are you so anxious to waste bullets? The energy of the pulse gun is limited. If you use it up, there will be no replacement energy block. Of course you have to keep this kind of treasure Use it only when life is in danger."

"Oh." Xiaopang nodded in agreement, with a disappointed look on his face.

Having a gun but not showing off is like walking in brocade at night, which makes him very uncomfortable.

The old man reached out to touch it, but was slapped away by Bandit Tang.

"What for? You want it too?"

"You brat, do you think I care about this kind of thing? Let me tell you, I used to have as many of these things as I wanted." The old man withdrew his hand, pointed at Tang Bandit's nose and cursed loudly.

"When was it before? When you were dreaming last night?"

"Humph, you are a blind bitch." The old man sneered again and again.

But he stretched out his hand again and said to Tang Bandit with a flattering look: "Can you lend me a night? Let me see what stage the technology on Nova has developed now. Just for one night, I will go there early tomorrow morning. Give you the gun back."

"Just one night?"

"Just one night."

"You won't dismantle it, will you?" Tang Bandit asked worriedly.

After all, he dismantled Phoenix's escape pod in order to study the technological development level on Nova. He was worried that the old man's character was as bad as his own.

"Why should I dismantle it?" the old man said angrily: "Can this thing be dismantled? Without such precise instruments, it can't be dismantled at all. Look, there is not a single screw in the whole body of this gun?"

"Okay then." Bandit Tang stopped being stingy. He held a pulse gun and handed it to the old man, saying, "I'll lend you one. One night, just one night. I'll get the gun early tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry, you look so petty." The old man snatched the gun back, turned around and returned to his room.

Xiaopang held a pulse gun and looked at Tang Bandit, who was hesitant to speak.

Tang Bandi glanced at him and said, "You should go back to the house and rest."

"Okay, brother." Xiaopang said happily.

He also wants to go back and study his new weapons.

The little fat man and the old man both went back to the house, and Tang Bandit sat alone on a chair in the living room.

After getting the coveted pulse gun, Tang Bandit was not as happy as he had expected.

Instead, it felt empty.

In the past, there were three people, Fatty Tang Bandit and the old man, but now there are still three people, Fatty Tang Bandit and the old man. Nothing has changed, there are even four more valuable pulse guns.

But why is it lost?

I picked up a beam of light and gave it back to the sun.

Is there really no loss or regret in this process?

Tang Bandit fell into deep thought.

He can hunt, kill sheep, and even kill people out of anger, but he cannot handle such more subtle emotions well.

The old man didn't teach him this either.

Fenghuang said that she left a gift for Bandit Tang. When Bandit Tang asked her where the gift was, she said, guess what?

Isn't this kind of behavior a plot of a martial arts novel borrowed from my husband? The male protagonist's father was killed. The male protagonist ran over and hugged his father and asked who killed him. He explained the aftermath for a long time, then closed his eyes and kicked his legs. Does it feel like it’s squeaky?

Bah, bah, bah, that’s such an unlucky thing to say.

You've been holding on for half a day, can't you hold on for one more second?

You've been talking nonsense for a long time, why can't the key information be revealed directly?

The person who killed me was, yes, your grandfather?

Is it okay if the first few words don’t directly reveal the name? Do you have to pour water into your last words?

Whenever the Tang bandits saw such a plot, they wanted to drag the writer out and beat him up.

Retarded!

Tang Biao thought that it was lucky that Phoenix was not his girlfriend. If she were his girlfriend, he would break up with her.

He felt that Phoenix had escaped death.

However, this problem really stumped Tang Bandit.

He didn't even know what gift Phoenix sent, so where could he find it?

Tang Bandit had little experience in love, and no girl had ever given him a gift.

do you have?

Oh, forget it, don’t ask.

The first thing Tang Bandit could think of was Fenghuang's room, which was originally his room. Before Phoenix came, he and the old man Xiaopang had a room each. After Phoenix came, he couldn't sleep with Phoenix and could only sleep with Xiaopang.

The old man also invited him, but Tang Bandit refused.

He couldn't stand the fishy smell on the old man's body.

Tang Bandit opened the door to the room, and something wonderful happened.

When he lived in this room before, there was always an inexplicable greasy smell in the room. The air also seemed more turbid, as if it had been polluted by something.

After Phoenix came to live for a while, the furniture and furnishings, including the sheets and quilts, had not changed at all. However, the greasy smell in the house disappeared and was replaced by a fresh and sweet lemon fruit smell.

Tang Bandit was familiar with this smell. It was the body fragrance of Phoenix.

He smelled it up close in the cave.

The quilt was folded neatly, like tofu cubes. This look made Tang Bandit feel very unique. He didn't expect that the soft pile of rotten cotton could still be so strong.

What puzzled him was why did Fenghuang fold the quilt like this when he got up in the morning? Don’t you still have to pull it open and cover it when you go to bed at night?

waste time!

Inside the cabinet is the interstellar voyage suit that Phoenix changed into.

Tang Bandit picked him up and smelled it, and the familiar fragrance passed into his nose.

Snapped!

Tang Bandit slapped him in the face.

"Tang Bandit, how could you do such a thing? You stinky gangster, you are despicable and shameless."

I was hit and scolded, and I received all the punishment I deserved.

So Tang Bandit picked it up again and took a big sniff.

"Well, it smells so good!"

Peace of mind.

There's nothing on the bed or in the cupboard.

"What kind of gift is it?"

"Where is it hidden?"

Tang Bandit thought in his mind that Fenghuang probably didn't expect that he would leave suddenly, and he didn't even have time to change out of his clothes.

Therefore, the gift she mentioned should have been prepared in advance.

Bandit Tang lay on the bed with his long-distance suit in his arms, sleeping where Fenghuang had slept before.

Well, it's a little hard under the head.

He immediately got up and groped in the pillow for a while.

A knife was found.

Yes, an antique pocket knife.

It's not a high-tech product on Nova, more like a work before the cataclysm.

Bandit Tang played with the knife, and found two oracle bone characters engraved on the leather-wrapped handle.

Bandit Tang carefully identified it for a while, only to find that the two characters were: Xiuxue.

"Xiuxue." Bandit Tang recited the name softly.

Then he looked around guiltily, as if he was calling Phoenix's name and worried about being overheard.

Bandit Tang pulled out the knife and slashed at the head of the bed, causing a piece of wood to fall to the ground.

Cut wood like mud!

"From today onwards, you will be called Xiuxue Dao." Bandit Tang said aloud.

Bandit Tang didn't care what his name was before, since he had chosen the name anyway.

Bandit Tang fumbled under the pillow again, and found a map.

He stared at the map for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

——

"What? To rob the tomb?" Xiaopang stared at Bandit Tang with wide-eyed eyes.

"Keep your voice down." Bandit Tang covered Xiaopang's mouth and said, "Don't be overheard by the old man."

"What did he hear?"

"We won't be able to go if he hears it." Tang Bandit said aloud: "You have forgotten that he does not allow us to leave the Henshan gathering area. Since we were young, when have we ever traveled far?"

Xiaopang nodded and asked, "Is there any danger?"

"What are you afraid of? With my strength, your brute force, and the pulse gun. Anyone who provokes us will be in danger."

Xiaopang's blood surged when he heard the pulse gun. Since he got this big baby, he hasn't had a chance to display its true power. He wanted to try the gun, but his elder brother said he was wasting energy. He wanted to go hunting with his arms, and the elder brother said he would blast the prey into dregs.

Now that you have the opportunity to use the pulse gun, what's the challenge?

"Listen to elder brother, if elder brother says go, let's go." Xiaopang readily agreed, and asked aloud, "When are you leaving?"

He wanted to take the pulse gun and shoot it right now.

What man doesn't like playing with guns?

"When I tidy up and make some preparations, the two of us will set off." Bandit Tang said aloud, "Remember, we must not let the old man know."

"Don't worry, brother, I won't say anything." Xiaopang said as if reassuring.

"I'm not afraid of what you say." Tang Bandit said. "I'm afraid your face won't hide anything."

Xiaopang was so scared that he quickly covered his face.

"Look!" Tang Bandit simply couldn't complain.

(ps: Phoenix gave Tang bandit Xiuxue Dao, so can't you give old Liu Xiuxiu a monthly ticket?)
