In the scavenger camp, Lei Team was in front and Xu Qing was in the back. The sun was shining on the ground and fell on them.
From a distance, one is tall and one is short, one old and one young, but there is still some harmony.
It seems that in this cruel world, such harmony is rare.
Or perhaps the python corpse in the hands of Thunder Team was deterred, so that passersby who had never been to the Colosseum around did not bother them after seeing it.
Xu Qing liked this feeling very much, whether it was eating the snake next, or the sun's face at the moment, it made him feel warm.
Very comfortable and looking forward to it.
And every time his eyes fell on the python corpse that Thunder Team was holding, he would secrete more saliva from his mouth.
He also likes to eat snakes.
The Thunder Team's home is in the middle of the camp.
Compared with the brick houses in the inner ring area and the simple tents in the outer ring area, the residences in the middle ring area are mostly stone and wood structures, and three huts are arranged together.
Although each room is not very big, it looks much better than when Xu Qing was in the slum.
Especially the residence of Thunder Team and a small courtyard, which is even more rare.
At this moment, the door of the bamboo courtyard was pushed open, and under Xu Qing's observation and scrutiny, Lei Dui carried the python corpse to the rear room, and then pointed to the second hut.
"Child, you can live there in the future. You should familiarize yourself with it first, and I will call you when the meal is ready."
Saying that, Lei Dui entered the side room, and after a while, the sound of chopping meat came out.
Xu Qing swallowed and first observed the small courtyard carefully, then walked into the second hut, which contained a bed, a quilt, a table and chairs, and nothing else.
The ground is clean, and the tables and chairs are free of dust, which is obviously often wiped, and the bedding is obviously clean, and there is a smell of being sun-dried on it.
All this made Xu Qing very satisfied.
He doesn't like big houses, he likes the kind of small houses where he can see everything at a glance, as if he can reflect everything in his mind.
It made him feel more secure.
So after a careful inspection, Xu Qing looked at the clean bed, thought about it and didn't go over, but sat directly on the ground.
Cross your knees and close your eyes, and start today's practice.
During this practice, with the influx of spiritual energy, he could hear the crackling sound of boiling oil in the rear room next door.
Soon, bursts of aroma drifted in along the stone and wood gaps in the wall, filling the hut and at the same time evoking the shriveled sound in Xu Qing's stomach.
good smell.
Xu Qing's throat moved involuntarily, and she opened her eyes to look in the direction of the tail room.
After years of living in the slums, he couldn't remember the last time he smelled such a scent.
So he resisted the longing sound in his stomach, closed his eyes, calmed himself down, and continued to practice.
In this way, time passed slowly, and soon dusk came.
Xu Qing, who had just finished practicing for a day, opened his eyes quickly when the sound of the Thunder Team calling for a meal came from outside the house.
He stood up and walked out of the house quickly, and saw Lei Team standing at the door of the side room, waving at him.
Following the open space beside Lei Dui, Xu Qing had already seen seven or eight different kinds of snake feasts on the dining table in the house, including fried, braised, steamed, and snake soup.
Obviously Lei Team has a very good cooking skills, full of color and flavor.
Xu Qing glanced at it, his eyes were a little straight, Lei Dui smiled, turned around and went in, picked up the bowl and placed it quickly.
Xu Qing also approached immediately, and as he walked into the rear room, the scent became stronger, but he did not sit down immediately, but his eyes suddenly froze when Lei Dui was about to set the bowl.
The bowl is fast, there are three pairs.
"Anyone else?" Even if the scent was tempting, at this moment, with the appearance of the three bowls, they were instantly isolated from the body by Xu Qing.
He looked cautiously at Thunder Team and asked softly.
"Don't be nervous, it's my habit, that's someone who... never comes."
Lei Duan opened his mouth, a flash of reminiscence appeared in the depths of his eyes, then disappeared quickly, and sat on a chair.
Xu Qing nodded, and as he sat down, he couldn't help grabbing a piece of fried snake meat and biting it in his mouth.
It was hot, but he ate it so well, his mouth was full of oil.
As soon as he finished eating a piece, he licked the grease on his mouth and went to grab the braised snake meat, Lei Dui coughed lightly.
"Use tachyon."
"Oh." Xu Qing awkwardly picked up Kuaizi, and after getting used to it, he inserted a piece of braised snake meat and swallowed.
The two of them didn't speak during the entire meal, but the food was very discordant.
Lei Dui chewed slowly, not like a scavenger. He only ate three or two mouthfuls of each dish, and Xu Qing devoured it, his food intake exceeded Lei Dui's too much.
Watching Xu Qing eat like this, Team Lei couldn't help but speak.
"Why don't you eat it in small bites like when I gave you steamed buns before?"
Xu Qing swallowed the snake meat in his mouth, looked up at Lei Dui, and answered very seriously.
"The steamed bread is yours, and the snake meat is mine."
One is to eat other people's food for yourself, and the other is to invite others to eat your own food.
In the simple thinking of the young man, the items that belong to him naturally change their names when they are eaten.
Lei Dui could not laugh or cry when he heard the words, watching Xu Qing poking snake meat and drinking snake soup, but also noticed that the young man did not move the part near him in every snake feast, the snake The soup is also restrained.
He just eats his portion with confidence.
"That python of yours is very heavy, it should be enough to eat for half a month, and the snake skin and bones are also of great value, so..." Lei Dui said casually.
"I'll give you the rent, so there's no need to deduct it." Xu Qing suddenly said.
Snake meat is the steamed bun and sleeping bag to repay all the way, and the value of snake skin and snake bone is to repay the other party for covering the remnant cow tent.
As for the other party taking him out of the ruins and into the camp, this is a favor and a favor.
Xu Qing felt that it was inappropriate to use material to offset it, so he kept it in mind.
Lei Dui took a deep look at Xu Qing, saw the seriousness in his eyes and the clear-cut thoughts of grievances, so he nodded, and after thinking, the words came out again.
"Child, you must have a lot of guesses about me along the way."
Xu Qing didn't speak, but his swallowing movement slowed down slightly.
"Everyone calls me Lei Team. As for the name, it doesn't matter. In the scavenger camp, no one will use their real name."
Lei Dui picked up a piece of steamed snake meat and chewed it slowly in his mouth.
"The reason why I have this name is because I have a few friends in this scavenger camp who can entrust my life and death."
"We formed our own team. The name of the team is relatively common, it is called Thunder."
"On weekdays, everyone picks up the work individually. If there is a more difficult task, the whole team gathers to complete it, including me, there are four people in total. Now all three of them have gone out and have not returned."
"When you come back, I will introduce you one by one. In the future, you will follow us, as a new member of the team, to pick up and earn resources for survival and cultivation."
Lei Dui seemed to be a little full, he put down his fast food and looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was not surprised by the last five words of his words.
Xu Qing felt that he could detect that Lei Dui was a loose cultivator, so even if he had been in training for so long, he would naturally be able to detect his details under the observation of the other party.
"Okay." Xu Qing nodded and said without hesitation.
This also gave him a sigh of relief. Growing up in a slum, he deeply knew that there is no unprovoked dedication and help in this world, and everything must have a reason.
"You can continue to eat, I'm old, and I can't digest it if I eat too much."
Lei Dui coughed a few times, his face flushed, but he recovered quickly, stood up and walked out, words came out of his mouth.

"The psychic energy in this world is like poison. The kind of assiduous cultivation you have along the way is very likely to be alienated by yourself before you have gone far. You must practice steadily and not be aggressive."
Xu Qing was silent and did not speak.
The old man who walked to the door turned to look at Xu Qing and shook his head.
"But you're right to cultivate like this."
"The scavenger's camp and the restricted area next to it are different from where you were before. Due to the properties in the restricted area, this place is more of a gathering place for low-level scattered cultivators and outlaws."
"If you live here, you must also go to the restricted area for a walk. It's better to practice more."
The Thunder team left.
Xu Qing sat there alone until he ate all the snake meat, and he did not leave immediately. Instead, he quickly cleaned up the bowl, cleaned it and put it away before returning to his hut.
Sit down with your knees crossed and continue to practice.
Xu Qing knew very well that if he didn't want to hang on, bend over to survive, and put the right of life and death in the hands of others, then his own strength was the foundation of everything.
Especially in this scavenger camp, there are a lot of loose repairs, more than what he has seen in the past six years combined, and each of them is not a good stubble.
If a slum is a kennel, this is a wolf's den.
If you don't work hard, you will die without a place to be buried because of a conflict or dispute before you wait for alienation.
As for the heterogeneity, Xu Qing knew from the Haishan Jue Bamboo Slip Mountain that there were medicinal pills that could resolve it.
Although it can cure the symptoms but not the root cause, it can also deal with it, and the name of this medicine pill, he has also learned from the conversations of those scavengers on the way, it is called Bai Dan.
The nearby restricted area is rich in the important herbs needed to make Baidan, so there must be Baidan for sale in this camp.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing touched the place where the purple crystal was buried in his chest.
During this period of time, he has clearly felt that in addition to his resilience, his speed and strength have improved a lot.
It is related to reaching the first level of Haishan Jue, but Xu Qing feels that his first level seems to be somewhat different from the power of a tiger described by Haishan Jue.
"I could kill a lot of tigers."
Xu Qing murmured and felt the spiritual energy in his body. He seemed to be on the verge of reaching the second level with his assiduous cultivation along the way.
"Tonight, hit the second floor." Xu Qing showed firmness in his eyes, closed his eyes, and began to breathe.
Soon the spiritual energy came from all directions, and the spiritual energy outside the restricted area was much less heterogeneous than the restricted area, which also made the cultivation speed relatively improved.
Xu Qing had already noticed this in the row house of the Colosseum yesterday.
At this moment, he let go of his body, and while absorbing and exhaling forcefully, the faint purple light on his chest covered by the leather jacket flickered.
As time passed, there was a slight thumping sound in Xu Qing's body, and black impurities were expelled from the sweat pores again.
The flesh and blood of the whole body is nourished, it seems to be more and more tenacious, and there is a faint stronger power, which is gradually bursting out within it.
At the same time, in the darkness outside, the little girl who had been exchanged for bamboo sticks by Xu Qing during the day approached the courtyard of Xu Qing's residence.
She stood there hesitating, as if she wanted to knock on the door, but she was a little nervous.
Until a long time, she seemed to summon up the courage and knocked gently on the bamboo door of the yard, but the sound was too weak to get in at all.
And at the moment when the little girl knocked on the bamboo door, the banging sound in Xu Qing's body also reached the strongest moment.
With a roar in his mind, Xu Qing opened his eyes, and Zimang flashed in his eyes again. His expression showed joy, and he looked down at his arm, where a second alienation point appeared.
Condensation, second floor.
