Chapter 1143 The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (24)

The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Twenty-Four)

Before leaving home, Song Ning wrapped himself up tightly in whatever clothes he could wear, not even showing his eyes, and wore a pair of windproof goggles.

The story goes that he found these glasses when he was just about to leave the house, and the big cat grabbed his clothes and led him to the table at his workbench.

"Was this here before? I don't remember seeing it before."

Song Ning recalled uncertainly, but time was of the essence, so he didn't think too much about it, grabbed it and put it on. "I really don't know who lived here before you came, Brother Leopard. Anyway, all these good things have benefited us."

When it comes to actually going out, Song Ning wouldn't be completely unprepared.

After wrapping himself up, he took out his lunchbox, put in several pieces of burning coal, then put the lid on, wrapped it with the skin of the rabbit from yesterday, and tied it tightly. This could be considered a very simple hand warmer.

Once everything was ready, he tentatively lifted the curtain and opened the iron gate.

As soon as the door opened, a cold wind carrying snowflakes rushed at him, and Song Ning almost wanted to turn around, go back inside, and curl up to sleep.

Fortunately, his strong self-control helped him withstand it. In addition, he did feel a bit too cold last night. If he could make a heated kang bed, he would suffer less and the big cat could also enjoy it.

Taking a deep breath of the cold air through her mask, Song Ning gripped her tools tightly with her gloved hands and slowly walked out.

The outside world was already covered in a blanket of white snow, and he seemed to be all alone in the icy landscape. The big cat was not by his side either, probably out patrolling its territory as usual.

After checking the honeycomb briquettes in the iron pot again, Song Ning found a lid with only a small opening. He calculated that there should still be a fire when he returned, and only then did he feel relieved enough to leave.

It seems the humans have gone outside.

No sooner had Song Ning left than a lithe, agile figure in black quietly emerged from behind the house.

Black Panther himself didn't know why he was avoiding humans, but he seemed to vaguely remember what the humans wanted.

That thing is not easy to set up. Black Panther remembers it as a very tiring job, especially in this freezing weather. The humans he raises look thin and weak, yet they still have to do so many things every day. If the humans continue to be tormented like this, what if they collapse from exhaustion?

He had to find a way to solve this problem. The black panther stared in the direction the humans had left, and after watching for a while, it decisively turned around and disappeared into a vast expanse of white snow with a few leaps.

About two hours after Song Ning left home, she realized that she might have wasted a lot of time.

“These preparations should have been made before the extreme cold weather arrived. Regardless of whether enough firewood could be found, the kang (heated brick bed) should have been set up at the beginning.”

He muttered to himself as he started walking back, his exposed eyebrows and hair covered in snow. Snowflakes continued to fall from the sky, and the wind was a little less intense than before, but it was still bone-chillingly cold.

"Let's go back and warm ourselves by the fire first, and then we'll think of another way."

Holding the lunchbox and hand warmer in her arms, Song Ning walked back, breathing out white breath as she thought, "Why does the big cat still have to go out to patrol its territory on such a cold day?"

That fur doesn't seem to be very resistant to the cold, are you really okay?

Outside the tin-roofed house, Song Ning's steps, which were leading her home, slowly came to a halt as she took in the view in the distance.

There are people ahead of us, and they look like the ones Big Cat brought back.

The person the big cat brought back suddenly made Song Ning's heart flutter...

"Um, you're the person Leopard sent me to find, right?"

A thick local accent on the other end of the line interrupted Song Ning's thoughts. Song Ning subconsciously asked, "Brother Leopard? You mean Brother Leopard? Why did Brother Leopard ask you to find me?"

The person who spoke was even more confused than him, "How should I know? Aren't you and Boss Leopard in cahoots?"

He almost cried as he spoke. Anyone would want to cry if they were out looking for something to eat in the dead of winter and got caught by a black panther that looked like it was not to be trifled with.

Seeing that Song Ning still looked confused, he quickly reminded her.

"Hey bro, you're in cahoots with Leopard, right? Why don't you ask Leopard? He's not going to eat me, so why did he capture me?"

Upon hearing this, Song Ning subconsciously looked towards the big cat.

Previously, there was no reference point for comparison, but now that a big, strong man was standing next to the big cat, Song Ning realized that the big cat was probably more than 1.8 meters tall, and must be about 2 meters long.

"Brother Leopard, are you still growing?"

After asking the question, Song Ning shook her head violently. Now was not the time to ask that.

He glanced at the man who had been brought back and walked towards the big cat. Perhaps he had misunderstood; the big cat didn't want to raise another person. But what was the big cat's purpose in bringing this man back?

"Brother Leopard, what do you want with him?"

The big cat approached him, patted him on the back with its tail, and then lay down on the ground.

After a moment's thought, an idea flashed through Song Ning's mind.

"Brother Leopard, you mean a heated brick bed?"

Did the big cat overhear him talking to himself and then bring back a strongman?

The middle-aged man next to him was also dumbfounded upon hearing this.

"No, how did you know I could build a kang (heated brick bed)?"

He really does know this skill. If you're talking about how he managed to survive until now after the apocalypse, his skill has definitely been a big help. However, for a while now, everyone thought the weather would stay hot, so he hasn't been able to make much business and almost went hungry again.

The big cat stood up and nodded slightly, clearly indicating that this was the meaning.

Upon seeing that the black leopard he had brought had nodded, the middle-aged man disregarded all other details and immediately began to smile apologetically.

"Well, young man and this old man Leopard, I'm really good at building kangs. Everyone used to call me Old Kang because of my skill. If you want a kang built, my price isn't high. It's a week's worth of food per person. If I provide the materials, it'll be an extra ten days' worth. Do you want to get it done now?"

He said he was no longer flustered, his legs stopped trembling, and his posture straightened up.

Why didn't you say so earlier? If Leopard hadn't given us a heads-up, he would have been happy to do it if work had come his way.

So that's enough food for one person for seventeen days?

Song Ning glanced at the big cat subconsciously, and seeing that the big cat didn't seem to intend to interfere anymore, she understood.

He pondered for a moment, "We still need to discuss the price. You know how hard it is to find food in this weather, and how long will it take you to finish this job?"

No matter what, there's no reason to just listen to someone else's price without bargaining. Nobody's things come from thin air, right? Oh wait, it seems like most of his food is carried out by the big cat.

Thinking of this, Song Ning inexplicably straightened her posture.

It feels so good to have a leopard backing you up, even though I've never experienced it before.
