Above the stars

"Where are the legs?" the old man asked.

The Tang bandit lowered his head to find Phoenix's legs.

"I'm talking about rabbit legs." The old man said angrily.

Look at how naughty this kid is. Even if his legs are long and thin, you can’t keep staring at them.

"Give it to An Ning." Tang Bandit said nonchalantly.

"Send it again? Send it again? Didn't I just send a large piece of mutton two days ago? How much can the two of them eat? Do you know what you are doing?" The old man cursed and said: "Beggars treat guests, poor and generous .”

Tang Bandit glanced at the old man, sneered and said, "I dug a bag of cassava last time, why is there only half a bag left?"

"Of course I ate. We have so many rich people in our family, and there is also a big eater like Xiaopang. What's wrong with eating so fast? Isn't this a normal thing." The old man became angry and deliberately raised his voice.

"I saw it at Mrs. Cheng's house." Xiaopang smiled honestly.

Afraid of making the old man angry, he whispered: "When I went to the kitchen to chop the rabbit legs with a knife, I found half a bag of cassava in the corner. I don't recognize the cassava, but the bag containing cassava is our family's bag. Brother used charcoal ash to put it in It’s marked on it.”

The old man glared at Xiaopang, the traitor, and explained to Bandit Tang: "I thought there wasn't a lot of meat in the house now. The two-headed sheep you brought back last time hasn't been finished yet, and now there's an extra red-eyed rabbit. ."

"Besides, you two bastards like to eat meat. If you don't like to eat cassava, how much can I eat by myself? It happened that you came to the house to help clean up, and sewed up all the holes in your clothes and shoes, and also used old The fabric has been used to prepare a pair of shoe soles for each of you, and I will prepare a pair of cotton shoes made of animal skins when the time comes."

"Don't worry about how hot it is now. The temperature will cool down in two months. The heavy snow may reach your knees. How can you survive the winter without a pair of leather cotton shoes?"

"When has our family ever disliked cassava? When we are hungry, we drink grass root soup, right? Little Fatty just eats tree bark."

Tang Bandit waved his hands coolly and said: "Forget it, just give it away. We didn't say anything? Xiaopang and I gave it openly, unlike some people who give things to others secretly. What's so shameful about doing this? What? Are you guilty of being a thief?"

"It's not me. You have wronged me." The old man was furious.

Seeing Tang Gang's fat guy and the new girl looking at him with strange eyes, the old man also felt that his explanation was quite weak. The bad things between men and women could only be painted in a darker and darker light, because most people I hope you "have it" but don't want to believe that you don't.

Otherwise, this matter would not be fun at all and would not satisfy the public's desire to pry.

"Whatever you think." The old man put on a rogue face and said loudly: "When I say I didn't sleep, I didn't sleep. Besides, what does it matter if I sleep? Even if I sleep, it's only for the two of you. The cotton shoes of a bastard are dedicated to my beautiful body."

Tang Bandit looked disgusted and said: "Don't flatter yourself. If you want to sleep with her, Aunt Cheng may not be willing to accept it. With Aunt Cheng's figure, there are so many men who want to pursue her. Is it your turn?"

I don't have to, but you can't say I can't do it.

A man is most afraid of being told that he is not good enough.

So, the old man hurriedly explained: "I just don't want to. If I had this intention, Aunt Cheng would have become your godmother long ago. I think I was also called the Imperial Twin back then."

Recalling the past, the old man couldn't help but feel a little sad and his mood became depressed.

I'm more worried that my words will arouse the curiosity of others, but Xiaopang doesn't need to worry. Even if you put the words to his mouth, he won't be able to chew it out.

But Tang Bandit is so shrewd that he can tell the subtle things and the autumn leaves. Countless details can be unearthed from the clues, and you can clearly check how many legs a centipede has. He's as smart as a ghost, so it's really hard to fool him.

He's not like his father at all, but he has the same temperament as his mother, who is known as the show of the empire.

There is also Phoenix, this charming guest who came all the way from Xinxing. Although they have not been in contact with each other for a long time, some clues can be found in their words and deeds. This person is not easy to get along with.

He understands that talking too much leads to mistakes.

He understands it more deeply than anyone else, and it hurts deeply and deeply.

"What's the empire?" Tang Bandit asked.

Sure enough, he grabbed the old man's exposed tail and asked.

Fenghuang's eyes were also bright, and he looked thoughtfully at the old man in front of him, who was thin and looked a bit wretched.

"When I was young, I was known as the Two Heroes of the Empire, the Flower of the Galaxy, and the spokesperson of Blue Star." The old man said with a serious face: "I'm not bragging to you. I was handsome when I was young, and anyone who saw it would be surprised. I have to give him a thumbs up for what a handsome and graceful young man he is. The women who like me are from eighteen to eighty, and they can circle around the blue star, which is more terrifying than the sales of fragrant milk tea."

Sure enough, when a person says, "I'm not bragging with you," every next sentence he says is bragging.

"Bah!" Tang Bandit spat.

"Shameless!" Xiaopang muttered softly.

The probing look in Phoenix's eyes disappeared instantly. It seemed that his thoughts were too complicated.

To put it bluntly, how could an old man I met randomly on the ruins be some great big shot? How could it be related to the empire?

"Men in the old land like to brag!"

Phoenix silently made a fresh mark on the old soil in his heart.

"Although none of what you said can be believed, I can draw a conclusion from your sophistry." Tang Bandit said aloud.

"What conclusion?" the old man asked.

"It's true that you didn't sleep like an aunt." Tang Bandit said. "Didn't succeed?"

".I said, it's not that I didn't succeed, but that I didn't want to. I resisted."

"If you work a little harder, the two families will become one family." Tang Biao said meaningfully: "In that case, it will be more legitimate for you to take care of Aunt Cheng, and Aunt Cheng can also take care of the house. Me and Little Fatty’s life will be easier too.”

Tang Bandit has indeed thought about this possibility. If the old man and Aunt Cheng come together and the two families become one family, they can take care of Aunt Cheng, mother and daughter, more legitimately, and those who like to gossip will not be able to find an attack point.

We all slept together. What's the point of saying we had an affair?

My bottom line is lower than your line of fire, how powerful can you be if you scold me?

Since Aunt Cheng and her daughter are diligent, capable, clever and able to keep the house in order, he and Xiaopang's life can definitely be improved to a higher level.

At least, you don't have to cook for the old man when you come back from hunting every day.

There is only one good mother in the world, and a mother’s child is like a treasure.

Tang Bandit and Xiaopang don't have mothers, but they can find a wife for the old man.

The old man curled his lips, squinted at Tang Bandit and said, "Two days ago, Madam Cheng mentioned to me that you and An Ning are not young anymore, and we have known each other since childhood, and our relationship is very good. No, you two can make it work?"

Tang Bandit was shocked and said, "You actually have your thoughts on me? I'm still a child."

"Children? Look at the children of Lao Wang's family. Those who are fifteen or sixteen years old have babies. Then look at Zhang Blacksmith's daughter, who is about the same age as you. She will be married at the end of this year. Do you think it is still a peaceful event?"

After the cataclysm, animals lived longer and longer, but human lifespans became shorter and shorter.

There is no way, the survival ability of animals is much stronger than that of humans.

At the beginning, animals were also extinct on a large scale. However, there were too many of them and their reproductive capabilities were strong. When they adapted to the current harsh environment, they would continue to mutate, and then one by one Became the overlord of this black land.

However, it is difficult for humans to live in such a high-radiation environment. After a large number of deaths, no one is willing to have children, and it is difficult to feed children after they are born.

Therefore, there are fewer and fewer humans on the ruins and more and more animals.

This is why humans are squeezed into small gathering areas one after another, while ferocious animals occupy most of the land and oceans.

After all, human beings have always adhered to the basic principle of "eat if you can beat them, run if you can't beat them".

The phenomenon of "returning to ancient times" has appeared in human beings. Life expectancy is getting shorter and shorter, and marriage must be earlier.

It is said that in the past, Blue Star law stipulated that young men and women could not get married until they were eighteen years old. Now that the law is gone, who will care about such things?

"It's impossible." Tang Bandit shook his head and said, "It's impossible for An Ning and I. Ever since we were little, I've always treated her as my younger sister and it's impossible for both of us."

"What's possible? It's not easy to find a wife these days. Let me tell you, there are a lot of young men who like tranquility. How many girls are as old as you in the entire human gathering area? You told me, first of all Come here closely, if you don't like her, then promise her to another family."

"That's their family matter, I can't control it. Anyway, An Ning and I can't do it," Tang Bandit said.

"Although An Ning has a scar on her face, this girl has a good foundation and a good heart, and she can also draw. You two can also talk to each other." The old man looked worried, looked at the Tang bandit and asked: "You don't like An Ning like this?" ?Then what do you like?"

Tang Biao glanced at Fenghuang out of nowhere and found that Fenghuang was also staring at him. He actually felt nervous about being caught doing bad things. His face turned red, and he frowned and said, "I don't know what I like. Anyway, don’t worry about this matter. I’m busy hunting every day, so how can I have time to think about this?”

Phoenix also spoke up and said, "Yes, scientific research has proven that getting married too young is not good for the health of both men and women, especially for women. Premature childbirth will affect the health of both men and women."

Phoenix really couldn't talk about words like "uterus" and "ovary" in front of these "strange" men, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Anyway, it's very bad for women's bodies and the damage is very serious. I suggest that they still Don’t think about marriage and childbirth until you’re eighteen. Xinxing has a clear rule that you’re not allowed to get married before you’re eighteen.”

The old man had a panoramic view of the interaction between the two, his eyes flickered, and he stared at Phoenix and said, "What does this have to do with you? I finally found him a wife, but you dismissed him with just a few words. If he can't find a wife in the future, you can marry me." give him?"
