above the galaxy

Chapter 3 Phoenix!

When Bandit Tang returned home with his 'prey' on his back, the old man and Xiaopang were throwing 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. The big stones are trimmed into neat squares
Shameless old thing!
Square stones are used to build houses. Such houses are solid and well-sealed, which can not only prevent monsters from colliding, but also resist solar storms and acid rain erosion.

After the cataclysm, not one human being survived.Conditional migration nova, that is, the Red Moon base that scientists and chaebols have been developing for a long time.

Those without conditions, such as the bandits of the Tang Dynasty, 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 a group to keep warm, and of course, we should be more wary of hugging a poisonous snake or hedgehog.

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

Masonry, a profession that was about to be eliminated before the cataclysm, is now in short supply and has become the first choice for young people to seek employment and make a living.
"Brother, are you back?" Xiaopang stopped the hammer in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and greeted Bandit Tang honestly.

It didn't matter if he wiped it like this, the dust on his palms mixed with the sweat on his face, and there were a few finger prints on his face, which suddenly turned into a big painted face.

The old man pointed at Xiaopang and yelled, angrily roaring: "How many times have I told you? Don't wipe your face while you're working. You're making 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."

"When did I wash my face last time, that's when you all washed your face." 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 them, because they hadn't washed their faces for a long time, when it was Xiaopang's turn, it was almost like a pot of mud.

I'm not sure if it's clean or not, but it must be very moisturizing
Otherwise, working and living under the harsh conditions of the wind and the sun all day, how could it be possible to still look fat and fat like a steamed bun?

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 a source of clean, usable water can be difficult.

"That's called washing your face? Do you still need face when you say this?"

"You bastard, you still have the nerve to talk about me? What kind of thing are you carrying on your back when you are asked to go hunting?"

"People." Bandit Tang 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 silly.

"."

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

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

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

He held the two-headed sheep in his left hand, so he had to pat her with his right hand to wake her up.

Hmm, it's actually easier to shoot that way.
When he exchanged glances with the woman who fell from the sky, the woman closed her eyes and passed out.

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

Of course, when he thought of his own name, he instantly dismissed such absurd thoughts.

"I picked it up? Where did I pick it up?"

"Hate Mountain." Tang bandit said.

"How did you find it?"

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

The old man got up from the rattan chair, walked forward to carefully look at the woman's clothes and appearance, and said with a serious expression: "It should be from Xinxing, and I don't know what kind of disaster we have suffered. We can't keep such a person, hurry up and take her away." send away."

"Okay." Bandit Tang felt that the old man's character was not good, but he believed in his survival wisdom.Otherwise, a combination of one child, one child, and two children like them would have been wiped out and gnawed to the bone.

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 the iconic expression of constipation, struggled for a while, waved his hands, and said, "Since you picked it up, it is a personal item bestowed on you by heaven. Whether you lose it or keep it, you can see for yourself." manage."

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

"."

Bandit Tang was dumbfounded.

This old guy actually resorted to the poisonous trick of "Irrelevant to the Accident"?

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

"."

------

When the girl opened her eyes, she saw Bandit Tang picking out a mass of dark green sticky substance from her mouth to paste on her bare 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.Until this time, she smelled the fragrance of medicinal herbs.

"What are you doing?" the girl asked out loud.

Hoarse voice, as if not drinking water for a long time.

"Cure." Bandit Tang said aloud. "You're injured. Eleven wounds on your body, three big ones, nine small ones. Oh, eight small ones"

".No tools for pounding medicine?"

"Yes." Bandit Tang said. "Outside, I'm too lazy to get it and there's no water to wash it."

"."

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

Very reasonable!
"Thank you." The girl said out loud.

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

People are going to starve to death and still think that the bowls that others serve you have not been cleaned, either stupid or just doing it.

Thinking of this, the girl glanced at Tang bandit Wu Qing's mouth, and thought, fortunately, that is not a bowl for rice
"Who are you? What is this place?" the girl asked aloud.

Bandit Tang looked at the woman and said, "I should ask you this question first, right? I took in a woman of unknown origin, and I was under a lot of pressure."

The old man doesn't care, Xiaopang can't care, 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 had to figure out the identity of this woman.

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

This made her look more sincere.

"It can be seen." Bandit Tang nodded.From the way she dresses and the pile of iron shells she rides in, one can tell her origin at a glance
There are no such high-tech products on the ruins.

Besides, her face is so white.
Above the ruins, there is either acid rain or solar magnetic storm, 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 spaceship had an accident. At a critical moment, I escaped in the escape pod." The woman said.

"What's your name?"

"Phoenix." The woman said.

"Phoenix?"

"Phoenix."

"Liar." Bandit Tang curled his lips and said aloud.

"."

"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 How 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 down her spine: what if he showed his flaws on purpose?

He deliberately pretended to be a mediocre boy, in order to let his guard down, and then get more useful information out of his 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."

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

Accepting it or not is one thing, believing it or not is another.

"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 Enter the escape pod to escape”

"Where are the others?" Tang bandit asked.

"Most are dead."

"Those who are not dead are those who want to occupy the tomb as their own. They may trace your whereabouts in order to kill people, right?"

Phoenix nodded and said, "Yes."

She can't hide this, and she has to be prepared.
"But don't worry, when my injury is a little better, I will leave immediately in the escape pod and won't cause trouble for you."

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

Fenghuang glanced outside and asked, "What time is it?"

"35:45 in the evening." Bandit Tang raised his wrist to look at the electronic watch he 'picked up' on his wrist, and said, "It's also possible that the error of the 10-point watch is less than [-] minutes. It's for you time is limited."
