Niu Lidong was afraid of strange beasts, because in his memory, meeting a strange beast at such a close distance would only result in death.
Gao Qi was different. What he was afraid of was that strange beasts would be afraid of him.
"This strange beast is so cute. It looks so cute when it's running."
Niu Lidong's legs were shaking. He tried his best to hide it, but the shaking was getting worse and worse, and he could no longer hide it.
So Niu Lidong said very indignantly, "You say this strange beast is cute?"
Their starting points were different, so the conclusion they came to was naturally different. The three people's reactions were different, because their focus was too different.
Gao Qi was a little depressed, but he soon became happy again. He said, "Let's not chase. It's getting dark. Let's find a place to stay first, and then slowly look for strange beasts. I think there's still a chance. That big guy didn't notice me at first, but at such a close distance, and so much time has passed, it's not like I don't have a chance to hunt strange beasts."
Niu Lidong put his hand on his head. He was now finally sure that Gao Qi was not someone he could communicate with on equal terms.
"Brother Qi, do you have some misunderstanding about living in the Wasteland?"
After saying this with a little anger, Niu Lidong said to the stunned Gao Qi, "This is a big mountain, where are you going to find a place to stay? Do you think there's an empty house for you to stay in? Let's not talk about whether we have a tent or not. Even if we do, how are you going to sleep in this cold? "
"Bonfire …"
The romantic Gao Qi longed to spend a warm night by the bonfire, a wild night full of poetic beauty.
Niu Lidong knew that it was time for him to use his experience, but he felt that for the sake of peace in the future, he should probably fulfill Gao Qi's wish.
Explaining a thousand times was not as effective as experiencing it for yourself.
"Oh, okay, you have the final say. Whatever you say."
Thus, when night fell, Gao Qi finally lived the life he had imagined in the Wasteland. The first camping trip of his life had arrived just like that.
The bonfire burned brightly, but Gao Qi no longer felt that it was fun to find a piece of flat land in the middle of the mountain and start a bonfire.
Gao Qi was always worried that the sparks from the bonfire would cause a forest fire, so he had to be especially careful of the dancing sparks. This made his eyes almost never idle.
The meat snatched from the mouths of exotic beasts was inedible. The so-called bear paws were all fat, and after being roasted over the fire until they were black, there was still a strong fishy smell. Just smelling it was disgusting, not to mention eating it.
Then there was the cold. Her chest was warm from the bonfire, but her back was cold where the fire couldn't reach.
Moreover, the feeling of using the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed was not good. The ground was very cold. Even with a layer of tree branches, the ground was still very cold. It was almost impossible to sleep.
Therefore, the dream of sitting by the bonfire and roasting meat was not shattered. Instead, it was more direct, and Gao Qi directly gave up on this idea.
Everything was different from what was described in the book. Gao Qi, who had no experience in surviving in the wilderness, felt despair for the first time.
Niu Lidong had experience, but he also had a house to live in. This kind of camping in the forest was definitely not something he would do, because it represented danger. This was not a matter of comfort, but death. Moreover, death was certain.
Cold and sleepy. Gao Qi was already regretting it, but he still held it in. Therefore, the first to speak was Anna.
"I'm sleepy."
After yawning, Anna looked at Gao Qi with a pitiful face and said, "But I can't sleep."
Gao Qi still wanted to persist. He was still looking forward to his small wooden house in the forest.
"Go to sleep. Put your head on my lap and sleep."
Anna lay on the ground covered with branches, put her head on Gao Qi's lap, and closed her eyes.
Niu Lidong silently threw a piece of firewood into the fire.
Gao Qi sighed and said in a low voice, "If only we could build a wooden house …"
Niu Lidong whispered, "We don't have an axe, no saw, and do you know how to build a house?"
"Uh …"
"Also, building a house will take many days, won't it?"
Gao Qi's dream of a wooden house was shattered very quickly.
After pondering for a moment, Gao Qi said very seriously, "There must be empty houses in the mountains."
Niu Lidong nodded, and then he said in a deep voice, "Yes, there must be. It's just that no one has lived in it for decades, so it's basically broken down. But it's fine as long as it's fixed. Tomorrow, we'll go to a higher place to take a look. If we can find the way, it'll be easy."
Gao Qi felt somewhat comforted, but Niu Lidong continued, "What do we eat? Hunting? If it's hunting … I can't do it myself. Although I have a gun, I'll definitely die if I encounter an exotic beast, so I can't hunt by myself. I think Miss Anna probably can't hunt either, so Brother Qi, you'll have to trouble yourself in the future. "
After a while, Niu Lidong suddenly said, "We didn't bring much water with us, so we must find some tomorrow."
Gao Qi suddenly became irritated. Then, he said weakly, "Then how did you all live? When you were in the mountains, how did you all live?"
"We make do with it. Anyway, we're just enduring it. We're happy as long as we don't die, so don't expect too much."
Gao Qi and Niu Lidong both fell into silence. After a long time, Gao Qi said faintly, "I want to find a quiet place where I won't be disturbed, so I can calm down and study magic and special abilities. I don't want to live a bitter life."
Niu Lidong curled his lips and said, "Is that so? That's good. I can chop firewood, fetch water, start a fire, and cook. You don't have to worry about it, you're just in charge of hunting. Well, we have to take turns on the night watch, I can't do it alone. "
Gao Qi shook his head in annoyance and said, "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely looking at the southern mountain …"
"I don't understand. Anyway, if you want to stretch out your hands for clothes and open your mouth for food, just like in the city, I think you'll need at least ten people to serve you."
Anna, who had her eyes closed all this time, suddenly opened them, and then she said very seriously, "What should I do if I want to take a bath?"
Niu Lidong said slowly, "That's easy. If you can find a big pot, it'll be convenient to boil water. Then you can find a big basin, soak in it, and take a bath."
Anna's face suddenly paled a little. Gao Qi sighed, and then he said in a low voice, "Well, so it's better to have a lot of people living together, right?"
Niu Lidong spread his hands and said, "Anyway, as far as I know, it's not good to have too few people. You two are very strong, so you don't have to worry about your safety. It's just a little troublesome."
Gao Qi sighed and said, "This is not the life I want."
After patting Anna's shoulder and letting Anna sit up, Gao Qi said with a serious face, "Now we'll go down the mountain and find a place with a lot of people. Then we'll find a place where the Wastelanders gather. The more people there are, the better. It's decided."
