Chapter 480: Rainy Day
() It seemed to be a good day in the middle of the night, but the next day it rained, and those dark clouds sneaked up to the top of the clouds at some point, and then there was a torrential rain that never seemed to stop, starting in the early hours of the morning when the sun was not yet out, and it has been falling until now.
The room where Lu Tao and Mickey stayed had been exuding a lingering cold feeling since last night, and it wasn't until it rained the next day that Lu Tao realized that the cold feeling was not emitted by the house itself, but from the humid air outside.
The dirt outside was watered by the rain, and it basically turned into a piece of mud, and there was no way to continue the war, and the dirt that had just been turned over turned turned into a swamp as soon as it saw the water, and after one leg sank, it had to be desperate to pull it out, let alone fight with the other party, and they couldn't walk together.
The ditches have also become channels filled with water, and if you want to learn how to swim, it may still be a good place to go, but it is even more difficult to walk in them, and you may come across a deep pit as you walk, and you will never be able to get up again.
"Mickey, if you feel really in pain, just call it out, it's not a problem to endure it all the time. Lu Tao stayed in the house, looking at Mickey who was in unbearable pain because of the cold of the rainy weather, but found that he had nothing to do, even in the world where Lu Tao was, rheumatism was also a big problem in the medical community, and it was even more difficult to cure.
Mickey reached out and took the kettle next to him, took a big sip, then wiped the sweat on his head, and just shook his head: "It's okay, I can still bear this, but I have been lying on the bed, which makes me feel very uncomfortable." ”
Saying that, Mickey glanced at Lu Tao again: "You don't have to stay here all the time, if the rain stops, you can go to other places to go around, I don't have much to take care of except for being unable to move, this is indeed very safe here, if they find this place again, I can only say that this is my life." ”
Lu Tao nodded and agreed, in fact, he also knew that even if he stayed here, maybe the pressure on Mickey would be more, so it was better to leave more private space for himself, of course, according to what Mickey said, it was not now, run out now, Lu Tao would have to be drenched into a soup chicken.
Pushed open the door of the wooden house, the rain outside was still falling, fortunately this area is on the ground, and the rainwater has no way to accumulate here, but flows down the slope and pours into the stream next to it, in just half a day, the stream becomes a small river, and the water in it becomes turbid, and it seems that it can no longer be used to drink directly, and I don't know how many things have been washed in.
Shaking his head, Lu Tao knew that these were not things he should think about, opened the door and looked out for a while, Lu Tao quickly closed the door, to be honest, after it rained, it was still quite cold outside.
Looking at Mickey's painful expression and the sweat that kept flowing down his head, Lu Tao suddenly thought that he should build a bonfire in this room, at least to relieve the pain in Mickey's legs due to the cold. So Lu Tao opened his mouth and said to Mickey: "Mickey, you wait here for a while, and I'll go find some dry firewood and come back." ”
After saying that, Lu Tao ran out with a wooden board that was originally placed in this wooden house, and he didn't know what to do, he bypassed this wooden house, and walked a little further east, and arrived at the kitchen and the warehouse next to it, knocked on the door and entered the kitchen, kitchen
Shi Green was not there, only his two attendants were working in the kitchen, but fortunately, they seemed to know Lu Tao, and one of the attendants who was peeling some kind of tuber vegetable looked up at Lu Tao and asked, "What's the matter? Is there anything wrong with you?" Master, he went out and won't be back until the afternoon. ”
Lu Tao shook his head: "I'm not here to find Green, I just want to ask if there is any dry firewood here, can you lend us some......?"
"Oh, it turned out to be firewood, simple, there are some piles in the corner of the wall over there, you can take some back a little, but don't take it away, otherwise the master will ask at that time...... By the way, remember to open the windows when you are lighting a fire in the house. ”
Lu Tao thanked him, especially the last reminder from the other party, which made Lu Tao have a lot of good feelings, in this era that looks similar to the Middle Ages, although no one will know about carbon monoxide poisoning, it is already a very good character for that person to be able to remind him just now. Lu Tao glanced at him again, and then went to the corner of the wall to hold a bundle of firewood in his arms, according to what he said before, Lu Tao did not run too much dry firewood, of course, there is not much firewood here, it is possible that more dry firewood is stored in another place, where it is probably not Lu Tao can go in, otherwise a fire to burn there is an effect with burning the food, if it is not because it is still raining outside, the dry firewood will be more or less.
Back in his wooden house, Lu Tao found that he didn't have any way to light the bonfire, and he had just forgotten to ask the two followers to light the flint, which was really bad.
Although Lu Tao had another way to light a bonfire, he was a little hesitant, would there be any problems with using spells in this world? Although he had already seen people who could fly before, it was still two to say whether there were people in this world who could release fireballs.
Thinking of this, Lu Tao looked at Mickey and asked in his puzzled gaze, "Mickey, have you ever seen magic?"
Mickey frowned: "What is magic? Are you talking about magic? Those things that street artists perform? If that's what you're talking about, I've seen it, and I've seen a lot of it, of course, their flaws are so obvious, I can guess how they do it after seeing it more than once, and I can even learn a lot." ”
Lu Tao: "......"
It seems that there is no such thing as magic in this world, so Lu Tao had to change his question: "Mickey, in addition to magic and other flowers, are there any other supernatural human powers in this world, not the kind of bishop-level flying in the sky, nor the healing power that can be manifested by the divine stone, but ...... For example, have you ever seen anyone who can shoot fireballs out of thin air, or shoot ice eggs out of thin air to attack an enemy?"
Mickey was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Hehe, of course I have seen it!"
Lu Tao was happy in his heart, it was easy to do if he saw it, as long as it was something that existed in this world, Lu Tao would not look so out of place when he used it, who knows what the humans here think of the power they have not seen? If Lu Tao lit the bonfire with a fireball, and then it was said that he was bewitched by the devil, wouldn't it be a big disaster.
Before Mickey's words were finished, he continued: "Those people can not only release fireballs and ice balls, but also lightning, that is the best weapon to deal with ghosts, Lu Tao, do you also like to watch this? Yes, I can't move now, just right."
It's a great idea to kill time with that!"
Lu Tao: "......"
Well, it seems that things are not as smooth as he imagined, the literary works in this world are relatively developed, Lu Tao knew it before, but he didn't expect it to have reached such a level, and there is no shortage of fantasy at all, if Lu Tao wants to come here to be a literary copyist, maybe it can trigger a literary feast, he has seen a lot, and together it can fill at least three such rooms.
After a day of getting along, although Mickey still regards Lu Tao as his savior, he is no longer as angry as he was at the beginning, and he speaks more casually, saving his life, Mickey plans to keep it firmly in his heart, and wait until he has the opportunity to repay Lu Tao in the future, which is not a difficult thing for him. Seeing that Lu Tao still didn't plan to light the bonfire, Mickey directly took out a flint from the waist bag behind him and handed it over: "Lu Tao, let's hurry up and light the fire, I feel that the room is getting colder and colder." ”
Lu Tao: "......"
He couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes, since there was a flint, he should have taken it out earlier! Fu Tao didn't expect it, he didn't ask, how did Mickey know what he wanted?
Took the flint, Lu Tao took a lot of time to light this bonfire, this thing is not very skilled in using it on the one hand, on the other hand, because the dry firewood and fire starters that were brought back were still a little damp, after all, it had rained for most of the day, and it was not an incomprehensible thing to seep some moisture into it.
After the flames rose, Lu Tao did not forget to open the window, fortunately, the direction of the rain was not towards the window, otherwise Lu Tao would have to consider whether the wooden house would be flooded by the rain flowing down outside.
After lighting the fire, the room finally warmed up a lot, especially Mickey, who had an injured leg, with the help of Lu Tao, gently put the splinted leg near the flame, because of the cold and faintly painful injury, it was finally a lot more comfortable.
"Knock knock!"
The knock on the door made Lu Tao a little puzzled, this was originally Green's house, and Green didn't need to knock when he came in, so who would be outside?
Lu Tao and Mickey glanced at each other, Mickey took out his only weapon, Lu Tao also took out the black dragon sword from his waist, and cautiously approached the door, Lu Tao asked, "Who?
"Is it Lu Tao? I'm Lisa, I heard that you moved here, so I came over to take a look. ”
Lu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, signaled Mickey not to be so vigilant, and then opened the door, and sure enough, standing outside the door were Lisa and Xiaoying, both of whom were wearing dark raincoats, looking a little embarrassed in the heavy rain.
Lu Tao hurriedly let the door open, let the two in, and asked by the way, "It's raining so hard outside, why are you here?"
"I can't fight today, and the Demon Slayer Stone is useless, Xiaoying and I went to look for you, but we couldn't find it, and after asking the legion commander, I knew that you came here, so we looked for it. ”
After Lisa entered the wooden house, she quickly put down the things wrapped in oilcloth paper in her hand, and then helped Xiaoying take off her raincoat and go to the fire to roast the fire, Lisa also saw Mickey who was lying next to the fire, so she asked: "This is the person you rescued, Lu Tao, if only I still had the Divine Stone, this level of injury can be cured at once, by the way, I heard the regiment commander say that you have a way to restore him to his original state within three months, is this true?"
