Chapter 21: Discerning the Herbs
The next morning, Kui Cao walked again to the blacksmith's shop. He knocked lightly on the door, and a "come in" came from inside. Kui Cao pushed the door and entered.
He saw the old smith smashing the sword with a hammer, making a clanging sound. Then pour hot water on top of the sword, and then soak it in ice water. The old man was sweating profusely and panting. He pulled a stool and sat down, wiping the sweat from his face with a towel: "What kind of task are you going to do? On such a cold day, if you don't have a good time to warm up and rest in the house, you run out and get sick, I really don't know what the patriarch thinks, making it difficult for a child of your age." ”
Kui Cao coughed a few times and shifted away from the topic: "Uncle Quan, when will this long sword be completed?"
"Don't worry, let it cool down for a while. ”
Kui Cao had an idea, took off the small hidden weapon on his left earlobe, and put it in front of the old weaponist. "Can you modify my secret weapon?"
The old craftsman took the small flying knife and looked at it carefully. Then he said, "I can sharpen the blade for you again, and then is there anything else?"
"Add a spring to it, and you can shoot that. ”
"Yes, it's just that it's going to take a long time" The old weaponist had already turned his head and started to improve on this hidden weapon.
Kui Cao waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll go back and ask my dad to pass the book first, the road to the back mountain is a big deal to pass from your house." It doesn't matter how far you go. With that, he left.
After going back, he took the "warmth" sent by Ming Mo with both hands and complained a few words. Before leaving, don't forget to give Ming Mo a roll of his eyes.
He arrived at this hut again, already for the third time. With a long sword and a small throwing knife, he walked away quickly. Along the way, he looked at the small throwing knife, and there was a delicate gem in the middle, and pressed the protruding gem into it, and rotated clockwise to launch. Press the blade again, and then rotate counterclockwise to fill. He couldn't help but fire the blade out of curiosity.
I saw that the blade was like a white blade, and it was gone. Kui Cao's heart suddenly hugged together, it was over, the blade was gone!, he shouted in his heart. It took a long time to find it, and finally it was barely recovered with the "attraction" of Yang Hook Jade. This attraction skill is also obtained at a cost of 10% of his HP, and like the repulsor, it is a first-level skill, which can only attract small and light objects.
Kui Xiao suddenly communicated with Mei Xiao's consciousness coldly: "You said that after I opened these skills, will they be gone?"
Mei Xiao complained to him: "I think you should think about your physical fitness, you still act like no one after drawing so much blood, and you don't need to worry about the rest." ”
He retracted his playfulness and began to carefully compare the herbal books with each other, starting to identify them step by step, and then extracting them. In a distant wood, he found the icing acid grains, which was what made him and Chuxin "cry bitterly" at that time, and it was really sour to the point of toothache! But now he tastes these fruits again, but he only feels sour, and always feels that something is missing. Alas, this may be a special emotion.
Nangong Kui Cao sighed, and a voice suddenly sounded in his head. What kind of special emotion is this? Sentimental master?
Kui Cao was startled by the sound in his ears, and he said softly, "I don't want you to talk freely during the day?"
Mei Xiao said: "People can't help it, who made you so sentimental, blame me?"
Kui Cao ignored her and continued to look for the herbs that he should "deliver".
He had walked several miles in the mountains, looking for many kinds of herbs. Time can cause a common phenomenon of hunger. Kui Cao sat in a bush and swept away a field of snow. He took out the edible fruit he picked along the way. At the end of the meal, he just stared at the ice acid grains for a few seconds, and then threw his hand into his mouth.
There was a crisp bird cry in the distance, and the sound of many birds flying off the branches, and Kui Cao instinctively turned back, but found nothing, and when he turned back again, he had fainted.
It was snowing again, covering the whole earth, and the world covered in silver was coming again......
