"Brother Zhang once made an appointment with me to go to the city together. I didn't expect that he would not be able to wait until then." Liu Guangming said in dismay at half an hour.
"There's only one lamp left in their house. It's not a big chance. I haven't heard back after applying for so long. I don't think those big people in the city care about us at all." Feng Mingyue shakes her head and sulks.
This topic is a bit heavy. The people in the city are really the masters of the world, and they who live outside are like consumables. It takes five minutes for the night watchman to come. If something really happens, even if they can call the police, they just collect the corpses.
Lin Feng thinks of this possibility. Maybe the night watchman is really specialized in it. Every time my sister comes back, she will say that there are night watchmen stationed outside every street in the city, and evil spirits are often found and killed in advance before they play tricks.
Think about the gap, Lin Feng shook his head, no, we must first find a way to protect ourselves.
Only in this world, there is a lack of self-protection methods. In addition to letting relatives become the soul lamp to guard themselves, they have to learn to be night watchmen. If they are qualified enough, they can also get more opportunities to learn, so that they can become more powerful professionals such as the spirit snatcher and the soul lamp master. Only in this way can they have the ability to move freely in this world.
In the eyes of the common people, the night watchman is already quite powerful, but in fact, it is equivalent to the ordinary world. The police equipped with police equipment and guns can only rely on group activities to deal with evil spirits.
They seem to be able to come and go freely, but in fact they are only limited to these safe living areas. As long as there is an insurmountable danger in these areas, they have long been cleaned up by the spirit Snatchers, and the rest are the little things like ghosts.
"Xiaosheng, you didn't run into danger just now, did you?" Feng Mingyue suddenly noticed the injury on his body and paid close attention to it.
Lin Feng doesn't hide. He rushes over and says what happened to Zhang Haisheng, because concealing may hurt his family. At the moment of danger, the soul lamp has obviously strengthened its light and increased its loss. If the estimation is wrong, like the neighbor's, it is very likely that one day it will suddenly go out and only harm the whole family.
"Your behavior is too risky. Never do it in the future." Although Liu Guangming is distressed about the loss of soul lamp, he is still more afraid. Looking at his son's injury, he can't bear to blame.
Feng Mingyue took him to look left and right, and almost shed tears. "How can you be so stupid, remember what happened in the future, and never run out of the house, didn't you see other neighbors staying at your own house?"
"Mom, I see. Is there any way to estimate the loss of this soul lamp? How long can it last?" Lin Feng changed the subject.
"There is a way." Liu Guangming holding the soul lamp, his face is a burst of sigh: "but only the soul lamp master can see."
"Can't Xiao Bing help it?" Feng Mingyue said with wide eyes. In her opinion, her daughter has been studying as a night watchman for two years, and she has already learned soul magic. This can be done.
"No, I asked the night watchman to look at the soul lamp of brother Zhang's family. That time, they spent all their savings, but they just said that only the soul lamp master could understand it." Liu Guangming said.
After listening, Feng Mingyue silently takes out the two long bread strips in the cloth bag, quietly puts one of them away, and then cuts the other into two pieces, half sticks with her husband. This is their dinner.
And the one they just saved is their savings. If it's not that water can't be saved for a long time, drinking water will also be saved as a kind of property.
The savings of my life are the bread sticks in the half cupboard. Because it's too cold, these bread sticks will not go bad no matter how long they are kept, but the taste will get worse after a long time. However, these bread don't have much taste, and no one will care about it.
The common people in this world are basically stored and accumulated in this way. It is these bread sticks that have been left all their lives. Those who are sick and frail have long been eliminated. The rest are those who can adapt to this cruel world.
There is no kitchen in the house. Ordinary people can't make a fire. In this world, making a fire must rely on special flint, so drinking water and food are so precious.
Feng Mingyue didn't eat. Instead, she took out a cloth strip, poured some drinking water to get wet, stripped Lin Feng's clothes and wiped his body with a wet cloth strip. Although the temperature in the room was higher than that outside, it was not much higher.
It is estimated that when the temperature is about minus 10 degrees, the wet cloth becomes hard and hot. Although it is not easy to live at this temperature, it also has the advantage that bacteria are not easy to breed.
In the age of no antibiotics, once an infection occurs, we have to rely on our body. However, the wound of our body is still careless. No one knows whether those ghosts have any strange ability. They must be cleaned up, or there may be all kinds of terrible changes.
"Don't worry, your sister will be able to take the exam in another year. As long as she passes the exam, she will be able to rent a house in the city, and we will be safe." Liu Guangming said of his daughter, with a relaxed look on her face
Feng Mingyue is also gratified. Her daughter works so hard and has a great chance of passing the exam. She will be a real night watchman by then. With the ability and allowance, the most important thing is to have the qualification to live in the city. Even if it is the worst house, it is also under the bright light of the soul furnace, and is guarded by the night watchman. At least it will not encounter this kind of accident again, which will make the soul lamp consume violently again and save the soul lamp to the greatest extent. As long as the spirit lamp can last for a long time, it means that they can live for a long time. One of the biggest advantages of the city is that they can continue to live before the spirit lamp of the older generation goes out. Only when the soul lamp is about to fail, they can go to the nearest soul furnace and take over the responsibility of protecting their families. Although this is a cruel world, everyone has their own consciousness, but everyone wants to live longer. After dinner, the three members of the family sat in the hall and talked. Maybe it was because of what happened in the neighborhood that everyone felt uneasy. Liu Guangming and Lin Feng check the room again with a soul lamp in their hands. As a result, they find a figure behind their sister's door. Standing with their back to them, they walk away slowly under the illumination of two soul lamps. After checking the room, Liu Guangming hung another soul lamp at the door, leaving only one hanging in the hall. Then he moved the bed out of the room, and the whole family slept in the living room.
