My Abandoned Oil Town Became a New Frontier

Chapter 15 A living person is coming to the town

 “What? It’s going to rain? Can it rain in this place?”

Liu Ning was stunned for a moment, full of astonishment.

 In his impression, the only characteristic of the Great West is drought, with no rain all year round.

“Brother Liu, although there is less rainfall here, it still rains every summer, and sometimes it rains a lot.”

 He Shan explained immediately.

Not to mention that this is just the Gobi Desert. One year he went camping in the desert and there would still be floods when heavy rains came.

"It really is!"

Liu Ning raised his hand and looked at the electronic bracelet. Indeed, the weather forecast showed that the probability of precipitation in a week would reach 80%.

 Thinking for a moment,

 He said immediately,

“In this case, let’s go to Jiuge City tomorrow! At worst, we can leave early from Jiuge City to Binghu Town. And if it rains, maybe Xu Xing will collapse!

 At that time, we may not need any special means at all, we can pick people up when we go there. "

“Okay! Then I’ll book a better hotel for us in Jiuge City in advance.”

Seeing Liu Ning agree,

He Shan was overjoyed and nodded immediately.

“By the way, you can go down and fill up our car’s oil later. Jiuge City is still more than three hundred kilometers away from here, and the oil in the tank probably won’t last until Jiuge City.”

 After a pause,

Liu Ning said again.

 “No problem, Brother Liu! There is a gas station at the end of the street in Asai County.”

"Um!"

Time flies and it’s already nine o’clock in the evening.

In the eastern coastal cities of Xia Kingdom, the lights have already started to turn on and even primary school students have fallen asleep. However, in the small town of Lenghu, the sunset has just set and the sky is not completely dark yet.

Phew!

“I have to say, I am really grateful to those traveling companions, otherwise, the **** value may not be possible!”

 In front of the hut,

Xu Xing, who just came back, looked at the **** value in the system panel and moved his body.

After cleaning up the "abandoned campsite" today, he wandered around a dozen ruins nearby until he finally felt a little hungry, and then returned to the hut with the tents and supplies.

I just took the time to look at the harvest.

 The **** value actually reached 2,250.

 In this way, it is definitely enough to buy a bed and bedding, and you can even buy something similar.

"Cook!"

Took out the key, opened the door, threw the tents and supplies into the house, took a short rest, and then Xu Xing came to the stove again.

 After being exposed to the sun all afternoon and lighting a fire in the stove before leaving,

 The surface of the earthen pot stove is now dry and can be used normally.

 As for the bed and bedding?

 It’s not too late to lie down and pick slowly after eating.

“But what should I eat for dinner tonight? I have been eating compressed biscuits these past few days, and I really need to improve.”

  He scratched his head,

Xu Xing looked back at the hut.

 Before coming here, the supplies I prepared included rice, flour, oil, and even a few vacuumed packages of vegetables and beef.

 As a top chef, using these ingredients to make a delicious meal couldn't be easier.

"etc."

But just when Xu Xing was about to go to the pickup truck to wash his hands and start cooking, he suddenly thought of something, slapped his forehead, and immediately turned around and rushed to the cabin.

 After entering the house, there was a turmoil in the pile of supplies.

　It wasn’t until a moment later that he slowly straightened up.

“Alas! It seems that I still have no experience in buying all the ingredients. As a result, I don’t have any tools such as kitchen knives, chopping boards, and large spoons.”

turn out to be,

 Xu Xing was a novice before. He only focused on buying various ingredients and didn’t even think about the other tools needed for cooking.

 “What to do now? How about buying it directly in the system?”

After coming back to his senses, Xu Xing had an idea in his mind but was rejected immediately. It would take about six hours for the items purchased from the system to be delivered. By then, the day lilies were already cold.

 After a while,

 Xu Xing had no choice but to make a decision.

“Forget it! If you can’t do it tonight, just make a pot of instant noodles and wait until tomorrow to start cooking.”

 There is no kitchen knife or spoon,

 It’s perfectly fine to make instant noodles if you can’t make stir-fry rice.

that's all,

 Picked two packs of braised instant noodles from the supplies pile, Xu Xing came to the stove again.

 Wash the pot, find dry firewood, and light a fire.

By the time the water boils, it will be completely dark!

 Because the only solar panel was used inside the house, the light outside was not very good. Xu Xing's face could only be seen clearly through the firelight in the stove.

 Gurgling.

Although the light was poor, it did not affect Xu Xing's cooking of noodles. When the water opened, Xu Xing poured all the unpacked instant noodles and seasoning packets into the pot.

 Another ten minutes passed,

 The bowl of steaming hot instant noodles has been finished.

 “Hiccup! Feel good!”

　At this moment,

Looking at the stars in the sky and feeling the silence of the town, Xu Xing felt inexplicably comfortable. It had been a long, long time since he had let himself go like this.

“Go back and inherit the medical group? Forget it! It’s really nice here except that I don’t have a girlfriend.”

With some emotion,

After sitting for more than ten minutes, just when Xu Xing got up and was about to wash the dishes and wash the pots, there was a sudden sound from the hut near the road.

 “Hello, brother”

"who?"

 The sudden sound really startled Xu Xing, and he turned around hurriedly.

At this time, a sudden voice in a place like this would frighten anyone.

 Take a closer look,

Xu Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw a man in his forties wearing a jacket and a helmet, pushing a bicycle, slowly walking out of the shadows. There was also a large travel bag strapped to the sides of his bicycle.

 “Hello, brother”

Perhaps he also knew that his sudden appearance might have frightened Xu Xing, so the man showed a trace of apology on his face.

"Who are you?"

By the light of the fire, Xu Xing looked at the man up and down again.

“Brother, that’s it! My name is Fan Tian, ​​and I am a cycling enthusiast. I originally wanted to go to Asai County along the 215 National Highway today, but I didn’t expect that my tire got punctured more than ten kilometers away from here.

 At the end of the walk, I saw a faint light of fire here, so I wanted to come over and take a look.”

 The man put down his bicycle and introduced himself.

 “Cycling enthusiasts? Hello, my name is Xu Xinsheng!”

 Xu Xing is clear.

 In fact, even if the man doesn’t introduce him, you can tell what he does from his dress and equipment.

However, Xu Xing was cautious when saying his name and said the name on his new ID card.

“By the way, brother, I see you live here. You even built a stove. Are you also a cycling enthusiast? You also hike and camp.”

Perhaps because of the loneliness of the town or because many cyclists would chat and say hello to travelers like him, Fan Tian felt familiar and looked at Xu Xing again.

 “Me? How to say.”

Xu Xing subconsciously glanced at the small house with the door closed, and then said after a moment,

“I am not camping and unlike you, I should be considered a permanent resident!”

 “Reside permanently? Brother, do you always live here?”

 It’s better not to listen,

Upon hearing this, Fan Tian was stunned.
