Chapter 226 The Belated Peaceful Years
Hu Qing slowly opened his eyes and found that his fingers were a little numb and still a little warm.
He looked over curiously and saw Xiao Zi sleeping soundly with his finger in her mouth, looking extremely ugly.
The whole dragon was lying on the two men in the shape of a "big" character, and there was still shiny saliva on Gu Yang's clothes.
Hu Qing slowly stood up and stretched, only then he noticed the warm orange light streaming in from the crack in the stone door.
He walked into the living room and found that it was already dusk outside. The sky was full of red clouds and the sun was setting.
nice~
No need to fight or kill, no need to be alert to the surroundings, just sleep until you wake up naturally.
Hu Qing didn't want to use this good time to practice, so he sat quietly at the gate and watched the sun go down.
After a while, Gu Yang came over with Xiao Zi and sat down next to Hu Qing.
"A Qing, this little thing still needs to find a place to sleep. Look at my clothes, they stink!" Gu Yang complained while glaring at Xiao Zi.
Xiao Zi didn't resist either. After that beating, it seemed to become even closer to the two of them. Sometimes Hu Qing even thought Xiao Zi was a masochist...
"Let's buy it now. We also need to change the bed."
"it is good!"
Gu Yang opened the light curtain of the sect token and checked the information on it. It had been a month since he had used the sect token, and he didn't know if anyone had looked for them.
Fang Yu sent two messages, asking them if they wanted to follow him to the front line to complete the mission.
It seemed that Fang Yu also followed the Sect Master and the others to the East China Sea front, so Gu Yang sent some words of hope for their safety.
Then he continued to flip through the pages, and suddenly, the expression on his face changed from surprise to joy.
Unexpectedly, Elder Yan quietly helped them pay the two months' rent in arrears, which meant they saved another thousand contribution points.
Hu Qing wanted to thank Elder Yan, but found that he was not a friend of the elder, so he could only wait until next time.
However, this unexpected care really warmed their hearts. It was a real gift.
The two immediately decided that after coming out of seclusion, they must visit the two elders to express their gratitude.
Gu Yang's voice was filled with excitement and joy: "Elder Yan is so considerate. We have to thank him very much. He has been teaching for two months."
Hu Qing nodded: "Well, after we come out of seclusion in a few days, we will go buy some gifts and visit the two elders."
They continued to look at the sect's mall, already having a plan in mind.
They needed to buy some furniture for the training room and prepare a comfortable home for the new member, Xiao Zi.
The mall is still full of various goods.
The two of them scrolled through the different merchandise sections, carefully selecting each item.
They finally chose two large beds, which were sturdy and durable enough to allow them to get enough rest after practicing.
Then, they bought some cotton and cloth, planning to make a warm nest for Xiao Zi by themselves, and the remaining materials could be used to make two lazy sofas.
Hu Qing looked at the material that could conceal his spiritual consciousness and felt a little disappointed. After working so hard for so long, he still couldn't afford it.
I can only wait until they come out and then ask the elders if there is any other way.
A hint of tenderness flashed in Gu Yang's eyes: "Just buy these, Xiao Zi will definitely like these materials."
Hu Qing nodded, his eyes lingering on the monster meat stall:
"We still need some food. We haven't eaten properly for a month. Xiao Zi is growing and needs enough nutrition."
Gu Yang lifted Xiao Zi up, felt the rank, and said, "This little fellow doesn't seem to have a rank yet. I guess even a first-rank monster would have trouble digesting him."
"It's a dragon, so it should be fine. Elder Han also fed it some meat, but I don't know what grade it is."
"Then buy it!"
The two of them bought some fresh first-level spiritual pork. This meat is delicious and rich in energy, which is very beneficial to Xiao Zi's growth.
What’s more important is that the barbecue tastes good, and it’s even better with a little wine.
After making their selection, the two men and the dragon stood up and prepared to clean up the yard while waiting for the courier to arrive.
Next, they prepared to deal with the broken plum tree in the yard.
Xiao Zi looked at the tree and stopped moving closer. She lay down at the door and watched the two people work.
Gu Yang and Hu Qing carefully replanted the broken tree trunk, hoping that it would regain its vitality.
Gu Yang's eyes held a hint of anticipation: "I hope this tree can come back to life soon."
Hu Qing nodded, holding two green ores in his hands. The energy contained in these ores should be able to promote the growth of plants:
"With these ores as aid, I believe it will be able to recover quickly."
He placed the ore at the roots of the plum tree, then Gu Yang covered it with soil and stepped on it hard a few times. Now all that was left was to water it.
The two of them stretched their aching waists and looked up to relieve their tired eyes.
Xiao Zi smelled the scent of the ore and rushed over immediately. While Hu Qing and the others were not paying attention, she frantically dug at the tree roots, trying to eat the two pieces of ores.
The plum tree that had been planted was about to be dug up again. Fortunately, Gu Yang discovered it early. He straightened the plum tree with one hand and stepped on Xiao Zi to the ground with the other foot.
Hu Qing picked up Xiao Zi. As it watched itself getting farther and farther away from the ore, it bared its teeth at Hu Qing.
"Hmm? Are you still so protective of your food? Brother Gu, you take care of the tree, and I will give you a lesson." After saying that, he carried Xiao Zi into the training room.
A dragon fruit, a heart-warming kick, and then a kite-flying combo...
Then, the breathless Hu Qing carried the timid Xiao Zi into the yard.
Gu Yang has replanted the plum tree and watered it.
Hu Qing threw Xiao Zi to the ground to see if it dared to dig the ore again.
Xiao Zi was obedient now. She rushed towards Gu Yang quickly, hugged Gu Yang's thigh, and had tears in her eyes.
Gu Yang looked at Hu Qing in shock. How could the usually gentle Hu Qing be so good at taming dragons?
He casually took out a long piece of ore and handed it to Xiao Zi, then took Hu Qing to the living room for tea.
Xiao Zi leaned against the plum tree, sucking on the ore in her hand, the tears in her eyes had long disappeared.
……
As night fell, the moon quietly climbed up the sky, and its silver light filled the entire yard.
As the sky gradually darkened, the roof of the villa was shrouded in a layer of soft moonlight, quiet and mysterious.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang stood in the yard, while Xiao Zi was squirming at the door, waiting together for the delivery man to arrive.
Soon, a familiar figure appeared at the gate of the yard.
This was not the usual strange bird or monster deliveryman, but a human.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked closely and found that it was the owner of Tianyi Cloth Shop at the foot of the mountain. They had helped him complete tasks before, so they had some friendship with him.
The boss recognized them as soon as they entered the door, and the smile on his face became even more enthusiastic.
"Oh, what a coincidence! I didn't expect it was your order!"
He strode towards Hu Qing and Gu Yang, taking out the items they ordered from the storage ring as he walked.
Two large beds, a large pile of cotton, and some fine fabrics were placed before them.
The boss' voice was filled with gratitude as he said, "You two, last mission was all thanks to you. This little gift is my way of thanking you."
Hu Qing and Gu Yang felt a warm feeling in their hearts as they looked at the fabrics, which were much better than what they had originally ordered.
Gu Yang looked at the cloth in his hand and said, "Boss, you are too polite. We just did what we should do."
Hu Qing also nodded, his eyes lingering on the fabrics: "These fabrics are really good, thank you."
The boss waved his hand, his smile brimming with generosity. "No need to be so polite. Well, I have other things to do, so I won't bother you any more."
After saying that, the boss put down the first-level monster meat they had ordered and left.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang watched him leave, their hearts filled with gratitude.
The two of them moved the bed to the bedroom on the second floor and began to prepare a nest for Xiao Zi.
They spread the cotton and cloth in the yard. Xiao Zi watched curiously, sniffing from time to time or fiddling with them with her paws.
Hu Qing said softly to Xiao Zi, "Xiao Zi, don't worry, you will have a new home soon."
Xiao Zi seemed to understand Hu Qing's words. There was a glimmer of anticipation in its eyes. Then it sat quietly aside, waiting.
Gu Yang picked up the scissors and cut the cloth. His technique was skillful and quick, and every cut was accurate.
Hu Qing was responsible for filling the cotton. His movements were gentle and meticulous, ensuring that every corner was filled just right.
Soon, a cat bed shaped like a steamed bun was made.
