Chapter 6: The Day of the Red Moon

"It's Xiaomei, come in. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhou Chen opened the door and saw Xiaomei, who was wearing a blue dress, and at this moment she was holding a white cloth bag in her hand, which was bulging.

The contents of the white cloth bag seemed to be very heavy, and Xiaomei's hands sank, looking very difficult.

"Brother Ahai, this is what you want, grandpa asked me to send it over. ”

Xiaomei entered the door and put the white cloth bag on the ground.

"Thank you. ”

Zhou Chen squatted down and opened the cloth bag, revealing the contents inside.

A wood knife, a sickle, a dagger, and a short stick were all made of iron, and all of them were wrapped in dirty strips of coarse cloth to prevent accidental injury.

These were made by Zhou Chen with 100 alliance coins and asked Liu Blacksmith to make them.

The 50,000 yuan that Chen Long got won't take long after all, and he will soon be empty, Zhou Chen is ready to return to his old business and go into the mountains to collect medicine. And the tools at home are too old, so they are simply remade with new ones.

"Brother Ahai, shall I have lunch with you today?"

At this time, Xiaomei's face was slightly red and said with a slight twist.

"Okay, then I'll have fried beef patties and fruit salad today, I'll go out for a run now, and I'll call you when I come back." ”

Zhou Chen said, and went out for a run.

"This Brother Ahai, the door is not closed, then I will stay here to help him take care of the house. ”

Xiaomei saw that Zhou Chen had disappeared all of a sudden, so she pouted and sat on the chair in a daze.

Due to the injury on her hand for a while, she basically didn't run out much. And Zhou Chen's home is next door, and she keeps coming over when she is bored.

Because Zhou Chen began to improve his food, he basically had rich dishes for every meal, so that Xiaomei often came to eat after eating once.

It's not that Zhou Chen's cooking skills are good, in fact, it is a homely level, and it is not higher than Xiaomei's grandfather. But Blacksmith Liu has not changed any of the dishes, meat is meat and vegetables are vegetables, Xiaomei is tired of eating it for a long time. And what pork chop sandwiches, dried fish and vegetable salads made by Zhou Chen, etc., are all things that Xiaomei has never eaten.

In addition to the satisfaction of eating, Zhou Chen will also tell some small stories and jokes, and after many days, Xiaomei has become much closer to him.

"Brother Ahai has changed a lot recently, people have become more energetic and smarter, grandpa said that this is enlightenment, and I don't know what it means. ”

Xiaomei just sat on the wooden chair, swaying her two thin legs, quietly waiting for Zhou Chen to come back.

In less than an hour, Zhou Chen came back with two plastic bags.

He didn't go far, just ran around his village, and then went to a square in the center of the village, where there was a vegetable market on the side, although it was not big, but there were basically ordinary ingredients.

Zhou Chen started cooking, and Xiaomei volunteered to help wash the vegetables or something.

It didn't take long for a lunch of three dishes and one soup with meat and vegetables to be prepared.

Zhou Chen asked Xiaomei to go next door and ask Blacksmith Liu to eat together, but he refused, and Zhou Chen couldn't figure out whether the old man didn't want to take advantage of him, or was a little embarrassed to eat the food he cooked.

"It's delicious. ”

Mei has a penchant for meat, and is gulping down the beef patties in the bowl.

"Don't just eat meat, eat vegetables too. ”

Zhou Chen took out a small plate from the large pot of vegetable salad and pushed it in front of Xiaomei, indicating that this was the one she needed to eat.

"I remember that in the original book, many plots are carried out in developed cities, and this bluestone island is still too barren compared to the cities on the mainland. ”

The salad made by Zhou Chen uses a salad dressing instead of yogurt, because there is no salad dressing to sell on Bluestone Island at all.

In addition to the lack of this and that, the biggest shortcoming on the island is that there is no network.

Since there is no Internet, it is difficult to transmit a lot of information from the outside world.

For example, Long Chen, after he successfully awakened, he could log in to some websites as a contractor to obtain knowledge, and the formula of Xiao Yanye was also readily available. It's a pity that Qingshi Island is too remote, located in the extreme east of the East China Sea, and the Internet has not been popularized here, so Chen Long is also tied up and can only wait for the opportunity to leave here once every three years.

"It will take me 5 years to break through when I practice "Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong", and then I can become a contractor and leave, it seems that this kind of life in a small island will have to endure for 5 years. ”

Zhou Chen knew that the level of science and technology in this world was actually a little more advanced than when he was on Earth, but he couldn't see it on Bluestone Island.

"You can only succeed if you endure loneliness, and staying on this island for 5 years is regarded as another kind of practice. ”

Zhou Chen prefers a developed modern city, at least all kinds of information are not blocked, but at this time, the conditions do not allow, and he does not force it.

"What does Brother Hai think? If you don't eat it, the beef patties will all belong to me!"

Xiaomei nibbled on the meatloaf in her mouth, her cheeks bulged, and her words were unclear and vague.

"Don't eat too fast. ”

Zhou Chen was really afraid that she would not leave it for him if she ate it all, so he immediately stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a piece, and took a bite of half of it and chewed it.

After eating, Xiaomei helped Zhou Chen clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and continued to stay for a long time. Zhou Chen was doing sports while chatting with her, mainly because he told the story and Xiaomei was in charge of listening.

Soon it was late in the evening, Xiaomei finally left, Zhou Chen looked at the time, and it was time for dinner again. He wasn't going to make anything more, he made a lot of food at lunch, so he used it to deal with it. He can't find time to cook every meal.

After a few more hours, it had already begun to enter the middle of the night, and Zhou Chen was on the bed in his room, cross-legged. He has been like this for a month, spending 6 hours at night practicing "Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong".

When practicing this skill, it will not consume his mind, but will have an indescribable comfort in his whole body, which can play a role in relieving stress and fatigue. Therefore, although he only sleeps 4 hours a day, he is in good spirits.

Knock knock!

Suddenly, Zhou Chen's ears moved, and he heard the sound of someone knocking on the door, and he looked quite urgent.

"Who is it?"

Zhou Chen got out of bed and walked to the door, and did not open the door immediately, but asked cautiously. After all, it's almost 12 o'clock, and no one has ever knocked on their door at such a time.

"It's me, Brother Ahai, today is the day of the red moon, come out quickly. ”

Outside the door was Xiaomei's voice, and the day of the red moon she said also made Zhou Chen understand why she was so nervous, and came to knock on the door in the middle of the night.

The day of the red moon refers to the day when a red moon appears in the sky.

The moon that appears on a normal day in this world is no different from that on Earth, and it also emits white light. But every three months, on an uncertain day, a second moon appears. The red light it emits is the key to whether human beings can awaken or not.

As long as people bathe in the moonlight of the red moon, it is possible that a red star mark will appear on any part of the body, which means that the person has successfully awakened and can conclude a contract with the demon beast in the future. And if there is no reaction at all after bathing in the red moonlight, it means that you can't wake up at this moment, and you can only wait for the next time.

According to the previous summary, if human beings have not successfully awakened after the age of 15, no matter how much they bathe in the red moon and moonlight in the future, they will not succeed.
