Chapter 17: Homesickness and Strangeness
It was late at night, and Zhilu was awakened by the thirst of her smoking throat.
"When you are thirsty, the water comes ......"
She put her hand out of the quilt and tried to use a spell to bring the water glass.
However, she heard nothing else in the living room, where only the night breeze blew.
"Huh?" his hand had been frozen in the air for a long time, and nothing had been held in his hand.
Zhilu pushed away the unfamiliar quilt, sat up on the overly soft sofa underneath, and looked around left and right in a daze.
The small space was crowded with sofas, TVs and coffee tables, and when she moved her feet on the sofa, she touched the sharp corners of the coffee table, and the slight pain cleared her mind a little.
"Oh yes, I'm ...... now"
Zhilu remembered that the world of Hualan had been destroyed, and she was now in another completely unfamiliar world of the steel jungle.
Looking around at the furniture she didn't recognize, couldn't name, and seemed extraordinary, inexplicable, Zhilu's nose was sour, and tears fell on the quilt in an uproar.
The sliding door of the small balcony was not closed, and the cool evening breeze quietly passed through the half-open sliding door, brushing over Zhilu, who was covering his mouth and sobbing in a low voice.
The rustling sound and soft meow came from afar, and the little orange cat jumped on the quilt lightly and snuggled on the purple hair that fell from Zhilu.
"Qianqian?"
Zhilu's red eyes widened in surprise, and she saw the little orange cat meow low and long at her.
[Are you crying?]
Kyanite's voice suddenly rang out, making Zhilu's shoulders tremble.
She also remembered that she also had an extra piece of kyanite in her chest that was so poisonous that she couldn't speak.
[Seriously, I haven't seen you cry for a hundred years, people have been wronged, they have been slandered by others, and they will cry sadly when they encounter troubles,]
[And you, even if others scold you for spreading rumors behind your back, you won't take it seriously, you always say that you are all children, this little mistake is just a smile, and now, I can see you crying. 】
"Those are just small things, and crying can't solve big things. ”
Zhilu raised the back of her hand and wiped away the tears that had slipped from the corners of her eyes.
She rarely cries about the frustrations and contradictions she encounters, she only weighs the pros and cons and acts cautiously, crying only soothes her body.
Crying is useless in solving things, but it is a good medicine for people who have been depressed for a long time and are depressed all day long.
She often comforts her younger sisters and younger brothers with shallow eye sockets, who will always secretly wipe their tears when they are homesick, all she can do is to comfort her gently and tolerate this vulnerability.
After venting fragile for a while, it's time to pick yourself up and face it.
Zhilu patted her cheek and whispered to herself, "Okay, there's nothing to cry about, you're on the road to save them, don't let yourself cry first." ”
[Your self-soothing words, I actually look quite interesting. 】
Observing the originally gloomy Zhilu and red face, he stopped sobbing, and this cute appearance really made the kyanite laugh.
"If you don't learn to comfort yourself, you have to die in your heart before you are in trouble, and you have to die in your heart that is easy to panic and shrink."
"In Master's words, if you don't hone your skills to reach the top, not only will you not be able to die under the peony flowers, but you will die very aggrieved by your own hands. ”
Zhilu said, rubbing her throat, which was becoming more and more thirsty, and walked lightly into the kitchen.
[Hao Xuan Xian is really terrifying enough, I thought that a guy like him would definitely not teach any good disciples, but it turned out that there was a simple roe deer like you. 】
Listening to Zhilu's famous words, Kyanite shrank his shoulders in disgust.
Zhilu's gaze wandered back and forth between the kitchen stove and the cabinet, and finally landed on the long, curved pipe on the sink, which was no more than the shape of blue steel.
Tap.
She still remembers that during today's meal, Sheng Du would twist the long pipe and pour water into a small bucket of raw rice before using it to cook.
Zhilu tried to press her hand on the switch of the faucet, and Xue Shengdui twisted the faucet, and the sound of the water resounded throughout the quiet rental house for a while.
The voice was so loud that Zhilu felt that it would wake up Sheng Dusk.
She immediately closed the faucet, and the sound of the waterfall, which was as loud as a waterfall, immediately stopped, and the last drops of crystal water dripped down, and the tiny sound was drowned out by the snort of the kyanite's laughter.
[No, I'm about to die of laughter from you!]
Kyanite didn't hold back any longer, and opened her mouth to laugh.
Zhilu sighed, she knew that Kyanite just wouldn't tell her how to use these things earlier, and she deliberately wanted to see her embarrassed and make fun of her.
She really doesn't know how to use any of these things that are beyond her knowledge, and she doesn't know how they are constructed.
Essence blood, spells, incantations, spiritual power, mana, heaven and earth aura, as long as it is something related to cultivation, there is no one who does not understand the source and does not know the use.
In terms of cultivation, she is a genius that is rare in a hundred years, but in these things, she is really still a fool.
Zhilu tried to turn on the faucet smaller, reached out and picked up a little to put it in her mouth, but was stopped by the kyanite who was almost smiling.
[Okay, purple roe deer, don't drink that water, most of the water pipes connected to this old building are rusty, and even clean water will be stained with many impurities when it passes through the pipes, not to mention this. 】
"This kind of water is no different from the water in the mountains, right?" Zhilu was puzzled, but still stopped obediently.
[Okay, let me give you a chestnut, if you fetch water by the river and don't boil it in an iron furnace, there is a high chance that you will eat the eggs of insects floating in the river. 】
"Thank you for reminding me. Zhilu decisively sprinkled the water on the sink.
Suddenly, Zhilu felt that someone seemed to be watching her outside the window.
She looked over sensitively, and the small window in the kitchen for ventilation was tightly closed, so that not a single wind could blow in.
Maybe it's because Sheng Dusk is too strong, or maybe it's because the window that has been in disrepair for a long time bites to death as soon as it is closed, Zhilu went over and pushed it but didn't push it open.
Zhilu swept outside, and saw no one except the bright moon swaying in the clouds.
[What's wrong?] Kyanite didn't understand Zhilu's suddenly vigilant figure.
Looking left and right and seeing no one, Zhilu could only withdraw her gaze and return to the sofa to lie down, "Just now, it seems that someone is looking at me." ”
[Is there anyone? I didn't notice any aura or figure here, is it your delusion?] Kyanite was surprised, and there were still people who could escape his range.
But after thinking about it, the kyanite was a little deflated, [You are too weak now, and the range you can perceive and the functions you can turn on are too few,]
[If you are still as powerful as you used to be, I can even open the enhancement system and let you dominate this world, but unfortunately, I can't live anymore if you have a batch of dishes now.] 】
