Chapter 41: The Bitter Cold (1)
After some time, the two of them began to rumble in their stomachs, and then they realized that it was time to eat.
Duan Yunhan was worried that it would be cold here, and if she made her junior sister hungry, she would feel uncomfortable going back, so she said, "I'll raise the fire and heat up something to eat!" ”
Xiao Xiangxiang nodded in agreement, and then went to prepare dishes and chopsticks, and the two chatted while eating.
Duan Yunhan asked, "What have you been doing for more than a month?" ”
Xiao Xiangxiang sighed and said, "You don't know how difficult it is for the new Senior Brother Liu to teach. He himself knows some wood-based rune techniques, but the cultivation of internal force crystals is too poor, and his old-fashioned moves do not follow our routines, putting a spell rune for a while, and releasing a summoned beast that he has refined himself for a while, which consumes physical strength and does not have much power. My dad asked me to ask him in detail how many kinds of summons he had, and then designed a set of tricks for him, not only to let him learn some new summons, but also to keep some of the summons he had refined himself. I can't think of any better way, so I'll just let him practice the rune skills of our Blue Dragon Society from scratch. ”
Duan Yunhan said: "Zhang Laosan and Senior Brother Ma are both art investors, and they may be more experienced and know how to combine their original summons with the summons of the Blue Dragon Society. ”
Xiao Xiangxiang said: "They were all sent out by their father, and they haven't come back yet." ”
Duan Yunhan asked with some concern: "I also sent two senior brothers out for the New Year, didn't something happen!" ”
Xiao Xiangxiang said: "It's not just the two of them who have been sent out, at the moment there are only five female disciples left in the village, including me, Senior Brother Bai, Senior Brother Liu and my mother, and even the five disciples of Senior Uncle Guo have gone out." ”
Duan Yunhan said: "It seems that something really happened! ”
Xiao Xiangxiang smiled and said: "Senior brother guessed well, I heard my father say that the north is fighting again, and this time it is our Chen State and Northern Zhou to flank the Northern Qi together." Dad responded to the call of the Five Elements War Alliance and asked the senior brothers to help the officers and soldiers of Chen Guo, and by the way, save some people back as before. In addition, he also asked the senior brothers to help Senior Brother Liu gather the people of Liujiabao, probably saying that Liujiabao no longer produces runes, so that these shops have no supply and need to change careers, if they want to move to Jumu Village. ”
Duan Yunhan nodded and said: "Jumu Village was originally a small village built by our Blue Dragon Society, after it was built, the master and the master had the courage to absorb the displaced people, and now it is estimated that there will be almost five hundred households!" ”
Xiao Xiangxiang nodded and said: "After coming back this time, my father asked Senior Brother You to count once, Senior Brother You said that there are four hundred and ninety-two households, I saw that new houses are still being built in the open space in the village, and it is estimated that some people will be relocated after the year, and it should be able to reach five hundred!" ”
Duan Yunhan sighed and said: "The Blue Dragon Society is just employing people, but I, as a big disciple, am trapped here, I really can't stand the master!" ”
Xiao Xiangxiang learned Duan Yunhan's tone in a serious manner and said: "The Blue Dragon Club is the time to employ people, but I, as a second disciple, am trapped here......" Suddenly his expression changed, and he said happily: "It's so comfortable, I don't have to work a lot, hehe!" ”
Duan Yunhan looked at Xiao Xiangxiang's cute appearance and began to laugh, Xiao Xiangxiang also laughed, the more they laughed, the happier they became, and finally they both laughed out of tears.
Although Duan Yunhan was smiling, he thought: "I am a big disciple, but I like to be unrestrained and often forget the door. Don't take the junior sister badly, so that you are not only sorry for the junior sister, but also sorry for the master and the junior mother! I should still be more restrained in the future, which is also one of the purposes of the master to punish me to guard the tomb. ”
Although Xiao Xiangxiang didn't want to leave this dilapidated thatched house, the happy times always passed very quickly.
As the sun gradually set in the west, Duan Yunhan was afraid that she would go back late and be scolded by the master and the master, and she was also afraid that the master and the mother would worry, so she talked for a while before coaxing her down the cliff.
Three days later, Bai Yong came to deliver the meal and said: "This place is really evil, the second senior sister went back on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve and suffered from cold and fever again, which was more serious than last time." However, she was sick in bed, but she remembered that the senior brother said that today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, so I must bring a pot of wine to the senior brother! ”
Duan Yunhan was taken aback when he heard that Xiao Xiangxiang was sick in bed, remembering that there was a fire in the thatched hut that day, and it was not very cold, Xiao Xiangxiang should have caught a cold on the way back and forth, and he didn't care about drinking wine again, so he immediately interrogated Bai Yong's senior sister about her condition.
Bai Yong comforted: "Senior brother doesn't need to worry too much, the second senior sister has high internal strength, plus the master and the mother are here, a little cold air, it won't take long to force out of the body." ”
Duan Yunhan immediately took out the Nuwa Stone fragment in his arms and handed it to Bai Yong, and asked Bai Yong to hand it over to Xiao Xiangxiang.
Bai Yong immediately returned to Jumu Village.
In the early morning of the second day, Xiao Muzuo and Guo Qingsong went up to the cemetery on the mountainside together.
Duan Yunhan was shocked and hurriedly went out to meet him.
Xiao Muzuo immediately handed over the Nuwa Stone fragment to Duan Yunhan, saying that Xiao Xiangxiang didn't need this for him to put it away, and then asked, "Did you feel colder than usual last night?" ”
Duan Yunhan said: "It was a little colder last night, but I didn't feel too cold when there was a stove in the house. ”
Xiao Muzuo and Guo Qingsong didn't speak, but just looked around the cemetery.
Suddenly, Guo Qingsong pointed to the back of a tomb and shouted softly: "Senior brother should be this!" ”
Xiao Muzuo immediately went over, and Duan Yunhan also followed.
Duan Yunhan saw that there was a big black hole with a bowl mouth pointed out by Guo Qingsong that was deep underground, much larger than an ordinary mouse hole, and Duan Yunhan didn't know what the hole was.
Xiao Muzuo put his hand on the entrance of the cave and probed it, nodded and said to Guo Qingsong: "That's right, this is its hole, but there should be more than this hole, look for it again." Yunhan, you can also help find such a hole, but don't make too much noise. ”
Duan Yunhan asked in a low voice, "Master, what is this?" ”
Xiao Muzuo smiled mysteriously and said, "This is a rare thing, I guarantee you haven't seen it." Now let's just find all the holes! ”
The trio then found twelve such holes in the cemetery area.
Xiao Muzuo took out a packet of realgar, pointed to a hole in the ground and said to Duan Yunhan: "Later, your uncle and I will sprinkle these realgar with sulfur at other cave openings, leaving only this one place unsprinkled." Then we set fire to the realgar at the entrance of the other caves, and let the smoke pour into the hole, and the contents of the cave will inevitably have to run out of this hole, and you can catch it with the weeping willow rune. ”
Guo Qingsong admonished: "This thing is extremely cold, you have to be careful, you need to put the Nuwa stone fragments in the dantian, so that it will not directly freeze your three-color crystal." ”
Duan Yunhan was very curious, is there such an extremely cold underground creature in the world? Can you even pass the enchantment frostbite runemaster? And I lived here for almost two months, and I didn't even know it.
