As night fell, the swamp was filled with insects and frogs.

The swamp in the dark night is also full of murderous opportunities and crises, and predators and predators of all sizes are experiencing life-and-death struggles in order to survive.

The nameless island, located in the swamp, is in a relatively quiet environment.

Under the big tree in the center of the island, the firelight jumped, Zhang Zichen and a group of little monsters were concentrating on one thing around the bonfire, and around them were two little monsters vigilantly sentry on the trees and the ground, checking the surrounding scene, preventing predators in the swamp from sneaking ashore at night.

"The fire burned a little more, and some dead branches and leaves were added, and the pottery was surrounded by it. ”

Next to the bonfire, Zhang Zichen gave instructions to the two little monsters in charge of adding firewood, the minotaur and the horse-faced monster.

Although the little monster still couldn't understand most of what Zhang Zichen said, but after burning the fire for a night, the little monster could still understand the instructions and meaning of Zhang Zichen's fire, so the two little monsters followed Zhang Zichen's meaning, added firewood and added fire, and were busy for a while.

Because Zhang Zichen stepped on a big hole in the rusty broken iron pot when he was "out of the pot", the only precious property of these little monsters, causing the already broken iron pot to be completely scrapped, so Zhang Zichen instructed these little monsters to burn pottery as compensation.

Because there is a low earth mountain on the island, there is no shortage of soil for firing pottery, although it is not the best red clay, but it can barely be used as a material, and as for the water of the earth, it is taken from a small water cellar dug by the little monsters in the shade of the trees, because the swamp is too dangerous, even if you go to the edge of the swamp to get water, it will be life-threatening, so they dug this simple water cellar to store water.

Fortunately, although there is a lack of food on the island, there is no shortage of rain in this wild place, so they can barely sustain their food.

After a night of tossing and turning, the pottery was finally fired at dawn, and the pottery that was pulled out of the fire cave pit, although the shape and workmanship were a little rough and strange, but it was barely useful.

What Zhang Zichen taught them to fire was a round "cauldron" more than half a person tall with three crooked pottery legs at different angles, which was already the best word Zhang Zichen could give, because Comrade Jade Emperor originally intended to teach them to burn a three-legged pottery tripod...

But in the end, he became such an ugly monster.

There is a reason why Zhang Zichen taught them to fire the "cauldron" according to the shape of the tripod, the tripod is a high-status ritual vessel in some highly developed feudal civilizations, but in the era of the three emperors and five emperors of human civilization, the original meaning of the tripod is to appear as a cooking utensil, and the three or four legs of the tripod are used as a support for the cooking utensils, so as to facilitate the role of burning the fire under it.

In addition to this "three-legged pot", Zhang Zichen also asked them to burn seven pottery bowls, and made different marks on each pottery bowl, so that the seven little demons could have one.

"Okay, clean up the ashes in this pot, then use a pot to scoop water to fill the pot, and then put the firewood, grass and leaves on the bottom of the pot to burn, and I'll sleep for a while. ”

After the completion of the work, Zhang Zichen yawned and said, he hadn't slept all night, and his body, which was still a mortal, was a little unbearable.

The white-haired old ape is old, and he can't bear the tiredness and falls asleep, so there is no one to translate, Zhang Zichen's words are still even said with comparisons to make the two little monsters of the minotaur and the horse-faced monster understand.

"Wow..."

Zhang Zichen also couldn't understand the wild demon language spoken by the two little monsters named Niutou Horse Face by Zhang Zichen, but Zhang Zichen could also understand their gestures.

"What are you boiling water for, are we going to cook something to eat?"

The minotaur gestured with his hand, and his shiny saliva dripped from his chest hair.

"You know how to eat!"

Zhang Zichen sighed helplessly, and then gestured to them: "Boil water first, don't worry so much." ”

...

Zhang Zichen had a good night's sleep, and it wasn't until the noon sun also shone into the canopy of the giant trees on the island that Zhang Zichen woke up from the sun, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the faces of several little monsters probing around him, almost scaring Zhang Zichen.

"Shangxian, the water you let them boil has been boiled, what is it used for, please give advice to Shangxian. ”

The white-haired old ape also came, and after Zhang Zichen's guidance for a day, the old ape's human language has improved a lot.

"Well, okay. ”

Zhang Zichen stretched his waist, then climbed down the tree, came to the clay pot, stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, and felt that the temperature was acceptable, so Zhang Zichen took off his coat, picked up some warm water and simply scrubbed his body, took out a suit of clothes from the Ruyi space to change on, and tilted his head at the little monsters and said: "Jump in one by one, who will come first?"

The little monsters understood the meaning of Zhang Zichen's actions, and immediately all panicked, saying something in their mouths, kneeling on the ground, and kept kowtowing to Zhang Zichen, making Comrade Jade Emperor's face black, it turned out that these guys thought that Zhang Zichen was going to cook them and eat them.

"Get up, what do you think, I'm just letting you stinky guys take a shower. ”

Zhang Zichen said with a smile and a smile, and then asked the white-haired old ape to explain to them.

After listening to the meaning of "Shangxian" conveyed by the old ape, the little monsters' panic faded a lot, and they approached the clay pot with fear, and finally the white-haired old ape took the lead, climbed into the pot and really washed the hair all over his body, washed away the dirt and dead branches and leaves of his body, and the little monsters completely settled down, jumped into the water one by one, and then cleaned the dirt all over his body under the guidance of the old ape.

The little monsters who took a hot bath were finally able to see it, and they looked much more energetic, without the pitiful appearance of the black and non-slippery before, which made Zhang Zichen's eyes and psychology much more comfortable.

Because they looked so dirty before.

In fact, these seven little monsters are just more dirty on their bodies, as for the insects, they are bizarre ones, this is not because they love hygiene and do not give birth to insects, but because the food on the island is really scarce, but where there are a little jumping flies on their bodies, they have long been eaten by a group of hungry little monsters to supplement protein in their stomachs, how can they have a chance to jump on their body surface.

Although it is disgusting to describe, this is also the sad survival status of the little monsters.

The little monsters who took a bath not only had a new physical appearance, but also seemed to have a new mental outlook, and the eyes that looked at Zhang Zichen were not only afraid at the beginning, but also gradually filled with reverence and hope.

Because Zhang Zichen, the immortal who came from heaven in their eyes, is like a saint preacher in ancient times, bringing these monsters a new way of life and a new hope!
