Chapter 3 Gems?

The firewood was enough for a few days, and the second day later, Erzhu began to take Zhang Ning to work in the field. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The second pillar is responsible for fine work such as loosening the soil and shoveling grass, and Zhang Ning goes to carry water to water the ground. The water point is a mile away from the small river, and Zhang Ning feels that it is the upstream of the stream he has crossed.

In the past ten years, as long as you study hard, you can ignore other housework, and now she has suddenly done pure manual labor, Zhang Ning's work efficiency can be imagined. So after the second pillar finished the work in hand, he had to help carry water. He stared at Zhang Ning suspiciously from time to time. Zhang Ning is not afraid, with their knowledge of the mountain and village husbands, even if they feel that something is wrong, they can't think of a reason, it really can't work, he can still run away.

Erzhuzi still found an opportunity to ask: "Dog baby, why can't you bear two buckets of water, shouldn't you have a plague?"

Zhang Ning didn't know the difference between plague and plague, so he hurriedly denied it, only saying that it was a stomachache. Where is there a doctor in this poor and remote place, Erzhuzi did not thoughtfully tell him to "drink more hot water", but continued to help carry water and water the ground with an "oh" sound.

It took a lot of time to finally finish the day's work, and it was already dusk when I saw that it was already dusk. Zhang Ning was also so hungry that he ate all the wild fruits he had saved in the morning, and he was not full just by eating the fruits.

As soon as Zhang Ning shouted that he was hungry, Erzhuzi took out the vegetable nest and gave it to him, Zhang Ning stretched out his hand to block it and protested very unhappily: "I want to eat meat!"

Erzhu scratched his head and ran home with a smoke. Zhang Ning waited hopefully for a long time,

Erzhu returned, and brought his tools with him from home—a net of straw rope fastened to an oval wooden shelf, and a handle at the edge, like a net pocket for fluttering butterflies, but the mesh was much larger.

Erzhu dragged Zhang Ning to the small river where they were carrying water, walked into the waist-high water, held his breath, quickly lowered the net, and it only took a while to easily net two half-foot-long fish with his fishing artifact. Zhang Ning's eyes straightened when he saw this magic skill, and he kept feeling that the fish here are not ordinary stupid!

Erzhu first dug a pit by the river with a loosening shovel, took out a few plant tubers from his bosom and buried them in the soil, then piled up stones and built a wooden frame. After lighting the fire, he skillfully smashed out a sharp stone to wash it, cut open the belly of the fish, took out the offal and threw it into the river, skewered the fish on a wooden stick and began to roast.

After a while, the fish scales rolled up, the skin turned yellow, and the aroma rose, Zhang Ning swallowed his saliva, and his voice was extremely loud. After another cup of tea, Erzhuzi pinched a pinch of salt from nowhere and sprinkled it, flipped it a few times, and took down a steaming grilled fish and handed it to Zhang Ning.

Zhang Ning didn't care about the burn, he opened his mouth and bited, so hot that he screamed "oh roar" and "roar", but he was still not slow to lower his mouth, and the spines of freshwater fish were small and many, so that he screamed and chewed desperately, and finally ate the fish clean without danger. I was lucky not to get stuck in a fish bone.

One person ate two fish one by one, and ate the roasted tubers, Zhang Ning finally ate a full meal, and was so excited that he was about to cry.

After that, Erzhuzi caught three more, and Zhang Ning also tried to use this tool, and sure enough, after half an hour of busy work, he successfully caught a fish!

At this time, it was getting dark, and the two pillars rubbed the straw ropes, put the fish together, and the two went back to the village. It's still the same as yesterday, after the food brought back by Erzhuzi was cooked and eaten by the family, it was getting late, Zhang Ning went back to his broken shack and slept, unlike yesterday, there was no excitement and curiosity when he first came here.

The third day was still a dull and poor mountain village life. Zhang Ning reluctantly asked the people in the village about the geography and history of this world, as well as whether there were immortals and other information, but what he got was either blank eyes or ignorance, which made Zhang Ning very depressed.

Trapped in this poor ravine, there is no modern convenient life not to mention for the time being, just having wild fruits, wild vegetables and grilled fish every day makes Zhang Ning miss his world very much. The people take food as the sky, such a poor food, Zhang Ning couldn't stand it on the fourth day, and he wanted to find some insects to open meat, but Erzhu Ziniang was the first to object.

You must know that Erzhuzi's father died of illness in his early years, and it is not easy for a woman's family to pull three children. According to Zhang Ning's observation, only Erzhuzi's family took care of his meals, although there were very few, but every meal was available. It can be inferred from this that the predecessor is the long-term worker of the Erzhu family?

Because of this, the two of them just had to catch insects a few days ago, how could they use this as a livelihood.

Zhang Ning didn't have the consciousness of long-term work, Erzhuzi didn't go, he decided to go foraging alone, anyway, since he came on the third day, he hadn't eaten Erzhuzi's vegetables anymore, so it would be considered an automatic termination of the contract. Although Erzhu Ziniang was not very satisfied with his "not doing his job", she didn't say anything directly.

Zhang Ning went to the back mountain forest by himself, it is strange to say, in the past, he always harvested a lot, today he found several trees and did not find insects, Zhang Ning walked to the forest for a mile or so, he felt that something was not right, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and the sound of birds and insects disappeared.

Zhang Ning immediately became vigilant, since this is the cultivation realm, does that mean that some spirit beast spirit treasure spirit grass is about to appear? As the benefit of the protagonist, it must not be missed!

Zhang Ning slowed down, pushed forward inch by inch, and searched carefully.

Sure enough, after he had walked a few dozen steps, he saw a dazzling orange light reflected the small thing in the deep forest in front of him, shining from the canopy of the tree on a piece of dead wood.

"Is it a gem?" Although Zhang Ning was a little disappointed, it was better than nothing, and this kind of thing was sold to the pawnshop in the legendary Shanxia Town, which was enough to ensure that he had no worries about food and clothing for a long time.

Zhang Ning walked over cautiously, and when he got closer, he realized that the gem was still moving slowly.

Zhang Ning walked a few steps away from the "jewel" and finally saw that this was a snail with a gorgeous mansion.

Zhang Ning was just about to walk over to take a closer look, when he saw a half-foot-long lizard with a long head and colorful horns in the oblique thorn lying down, cautiously approaching the snail, Zhang Ning was worried that the mutant lizard was poisonous, and he didn't dare to step forward rashly, so he hurriedly looked around, found a dead branch with the thickness of his arm, picked it up in his hand, and slowly approached, the lizard had already seen Zhang Ning, and when he saw him approaching, he hesitated for a moment, and still crawled towards the snail.

Zhang Ning had no choice but to pick up the dead branch and throw it at the lizard, Zhang Ning calculated the distance, it was far away, after all, his personal safety came first.

The dead branch landed near the lizard and didn't hit, but startled it. The lizard glared at Zhang Ning for a moment, then turned around and ran away. Zhang Ning sighed, he was worried that the mutant lizard would attack him in anger, but fortunately it retreated. After waiting for a while, the surrounding insects sounded softly, thinking that the mutant lizard had gone away, Zhang Ning hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, and the gem snail was still crawling quietly, as if he didn't know that his life had just hung by a thread.

Zhang Ning wiped his hands on the placket of his clothes, carefully pinched the snail shell, and the snail immediately jumped out of the shell and fell into the grass on the ground, spread its legs and ran away.

Zhang Ning was stunned and looked at the place where the "snail" disappeared, and thought to himself: What kind of alien creature is this?

After a moment's pause, Zhang Ning picked up the jewel-like snail shell and examined it carefully. The snail shell is the size of a fingernail, the shell is as thin as a cicada's wings, translucent orange, and the white ring-shaped wings are regularly arranged on it, and the bright brilliance just now is the sunlight reflected by the wings. Zhang Ning held it carefully in his hand, for fear that he would accidentally crush it.

Seeing that it was almost dark, and the cries of unknown beasts sounded in the forest, Zhang Ning hurriedly returned to the village along the same road.

Zhang Ning put away the snail shells, glass marbles and soap in a precious place. Mei Zizi plans to go to the pawnshop in the town below tomorrow morning to get rid of the snail shells and exchange some money to improve her food and clothing problems.
