Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 164 Don’t Talk, Go to Sleep

The Zhuoshi River is very clear and shallow, and the pebbles on the riverbed are clearly visible.

After Lu Xian got off the car, he saw these pebbles and was immediately attracted. He picked up a lot of them and put them in the car.

It is smooth and easy to hold, and has a bit of weight. Nothing is more suitable as a hidden weapon than this.

Lu Xian felt that this thing should be more useful than the spokes of a bicycle wheel.

He weighed the stone as he picked it up, and said to Yao Wei with a smile, "I'm still going to be Little Lu Feidao in the future. Isn't it better to not have feather arrows?"

"What do you mean by featherless arrows?"

Yao Wei heard some words she had never heard before and asked.

Lu Xian explained, "This is the nickname of a man in the Water Margin. His surname is Zhang and his name is Qing. He is good at throwing stones, so he is nicknamed 'No Feather Arrow'. He compares stones to arrows without feathers. I will tell you about this story from the Water Margin when I have time. You might like it."

He suddenly remembered this character. When he first read "Water Margin", he was deeply impressed by this character. With a throw of a stone, he made the heroes of Liangshan flee in panic. His military achievements were truly remarkable.

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded and helped Lu Xian pick up a lot of pebbles.

The two men then lifted the wild boar carcass off the roof of the car and disposed of it by the river.

The wild boar was big enough, so it was a bit difficult to handle. After skinning, deboning and cleaning the meat, Yao Wei cut off a quarter of it and grilled it over a fire, while Lu Xian processed the rest, intending to make it into air-dried meat strips.

There were also some of the wild boar's internal organs, such as the heart and liver, which were cleaned and cooked in a pot. The large intestine and other parts were too troublesome to clean up. There was enough wild boar, so the two gave up on them.

They can starve or become gluttons. I wonder if this is a unique characteristic of the Type A new humans.

Anyway, this physical characteristic is quite useful to Lu Xian and Yao Wei. Just like when the severe cold came before, the two of them can reduce their food intake and survive the cold winter.

Then, when hunting such large animals, they can have a big meal and replenish enough energy to cover several days' consumption.

The pork was big enough for the two of them to eat while roasting it. During this time, they waited for the heart, liver and offal to be cooked. Lu Xian took it out and sliced ​​it, adding salt and vinegar to season it, and they ate it together. When they finished a quarter of the roast pork, they were both very full.

Then both grills were used to roast the meat strips that Lu Xian had cut.

There were too many strips of meat to hang on the car window, so Lu Xian suggested setting up a rack and letting them air dry. After they were air-dried, they could pack the meat strips into the car and continue their journey.

As for how to clean it up - the pig skin peeled off from the wild boar has not been used yet. Scrape off the hair and use it as a wrapping material. It can be used to pack dried meat and put it on the roof of the car.

However, since the meat is wrapped like this and cannot get any air, it is estimated that the dried meat will go bad quickly. In the next few days, you will need to eat meat strips.

The two men made up their minds and worked together. They set up a drying rack and put the grilled meat strips on it. They washed the wild boar skin, shaved the hair off it, and cleaned off the resin stuck to the wild boar armor.

By the time everything was done, it was already dark.

Lu Xian said, "I'll have to keep an eye on it tonight to make sure nothing steals the meat, or if there are mosquito bites.

"You go sleep in the car, I'll keep watch."

Yao Wei shook her head and said, "I'll do it."

Lu Xian laughed: "Okay, don't fight with me. You are really afraid that I will be tired alone. I will stay for the first half of the night and you will stay for the second half. Go to sleep quickly and I will call you later."

Only then did Yao Wei agree with a "yes" and got into the car.

There were no stars or moon in the sky that night. The whole world was pitch black, and one could only barely see the outlines of everything.

But this is not a big deal for Lu Xian. His five senses are sharp enough that he can detect any movement in time even in the middle of the night.

He found a place to sit down and waited alone in the dark night, with no intention of waking Yao Wei up.

We are all new humans now, so staying up all night is no big deal. This kind of thing can be done by one person, there is no need to waste two people's time.

But unexpectedly, in the second half of the night, Yao Wei actually woke up on her own.

The woman got out of the car, but she didn't ask why Lu Xian didn't call her. She just said calmly, "Let me do it. You get in the car and rest."

Lu Xian shook his head and was about to say "I'm not sleepy yet" and urge Yao Wei to go back to the car to continue sleeping, but he didn't expect the weather to suddenly turn cold again and heavy snow fell suddenly.

"Wow! You're the winter snow goddess! It's snowing as soon as you get out of the car."

Lu Xian couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, let's get in the car now. When the weather gets cold, everything is quiet and there are no mosquitoes, birds or animals coming to visit. Let's just get in the car and keep an eye on them." Under the car, we mainly watch for mosquitoes. These things are not easy to find, but when the severe cold and heavy snow come, these things will disappear, so we can get in the car and relax.

Yao Wei nodded and said "yes". After getting in the car, she turned on the air conditioner with the dog and asked Lu Xian to go to sleep, saying that she would just watch over him. Then Lu Xian said that he was not sleepy yet.

Yao Wei said, "How about watching a movie?"

When processing pork during the day, Yao Wei deliberately placed her laptop under the sun so that it would have enough power.

Lu Xian thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. There's nothing to do anyway."

So Yao Wei opened her laptop, placed it on the operating table in front of her, and selected a movie.

This time she actually picked the movie "The Sky of Eighteen Years Old" that she watched last time. Lu Xian said, "Haven't you seen this movie?"

Yao Wei said, "I didn't finish reading it last time."

"alright."

Lu Xian said.

Anyway, Yao Wei was the one who chose the movies before, and now she is the one who decides what movies to watch.

Yao Wei was now quite adept at operating the laptop. After opening the movie, she used the touchpad to control the cursor and drag the movie progress bar, moving past the bicycle riding scene before continuing.

Lu Xian didn't recline the seat, and Yao Wei ignored him. After dragging the progress bar to the right position, she started watching the movie quietly.

Then, as he watched, Lu Xian's eyelids began to droop unconsciously, and then his head fell asleep and he dozed off.

Yao Wei glanced towards the driver's seat with an expression of "as expected".

She waited for a while, and after confirming that Lu Xian was asleep, she bent over and leaned over, touching the wrench that controlled the seat back on the left side of the seat.

By pulling this wrench, the seat can be folded down.

However, when it is folded down, it all depends on the weight of the person sitting on it. In the current situation, as long as she pulls the wrench, the seat back will be pressed down by Lu Xian and fall down quickly, and she is afraid that he will wake up immediately.

This is not what Yao Wei wants to see.

So Yao Wei had to turn sideways and kneel on one knee on the center console, with her entire upper body leaning over Lu Xian. She touched the wrench with one hand and held the seat back with the other, pulling the wrench and slowly lowering the backrest.

This was really thanks to her strong waist strength. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to fold up the seat back.

But with such an action, she inevitably got very close to Lu Xian, almost face to face and body to body.

Feeling the heat from Lu Xian's body and his breathing while he was sleeping, Yao Wei tensed up all over. She had an inexplicable feeling in her heart, and her heart was pounding.

Fortunately, she quickly reclined the seat and no longer had to endure this uncontrollable torture.

But just as she reclined the seat completely, Lu Xian suddenly opened his eyes.

Yao Wei was startled, her hands loosened and suddenly jumped away.

"Don't talk, go to sleep!"

Yao Wei spoke stiffly, her voice sounding a bit like she was angry and embarrassed because she had been caught.

Seeing this, Lu Xian knew that if he resisted, it would only make Yao Wei more embarrassed and at a loss. He didn't want to sleep anymore, so he had to agree: "Oh" and close his eyes.

The laptop was still playing a movie. The flickering screen, the dialogues, and the background music were so hypnotic. Lu Xian was already in a half-asleep state. As soon as he closed his eyes, he soon felt sleepy again and fell asleep unknowingly.

Only then did Yao Wei finally breathe a sigh of relief and gently sat back in the passenger seat.

She stared at the computer for a while, but couldn't concentrate.

What she said before was indeed true. She had not finished watching the movie "The Sky of 18 Years Old". Last time, after the bicycle riding scene in the movie was played, she turned off the computer.

She originally thought that she had adjusted her mood today and skipped that part of the plot, so she should be able to finish watching the movie. However, she didn't expect such a thing to happen again. She couldn't concentrate, and after watching for a while, she had to turn off the computer.

It was freezing cold outside, with heavy snow falling. The strips of meat on the bookshelf were covered with frost. Yao Wei just stared at the strips of meat in a daze.
