Chapter 41: The Key to a Great Change

I shook the brass key in my hand and ran out of the door with a thud.

Looking back, although the long-haired sister instinctively stood up, she couldn't help but chase after her.

Seeing this, I immediately stopped and said, "You really don't chase me?" ”

"There's nothing to chase." The long-haired sister was unexpectedly calm, "According to the gambling contract, the next day, you can use the key as you like." ”

"Then I'll laugh at it." I took the brass key in my arms and walked back into the house.

The long-haired sister looked at me and suddenly squeezed out a stiff smile.

She really wasn't used to laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" I asked.

"Why don't you go?" The long-haired sister asked rhetorically.

We looked at each other, and after a moment, we all laughed.

This time, she smiled brightly and looked good.

A really happy smile doesn't have to be studied at all.

"I don't know how you changed the color of my key, though." The long-haired sister restrained her smile, "But I'm pretty sure that my key has always been around my neck, and that won't change." ”

Sometimes, simple people are hard to deceive.

"That's right, I failed." I took two keys out of my bosom, one bronze and one brass, and threw them into the corner.

These two keys were made by me using discarded tools, and although I have made them as realistic as possible, how can I fool my long-haired sister who hangs the keys all day?

Not to mention......

"You must have been following me." I say.

"No, I'm walking around my house, can it be counted?" The long-haired sister shrugged.

"Do you need to be stealthy for a walk?"

"Can't you be invisible for a walk?"

I stopped talking.

In fact, she really doesn't have to follow her, with her martial arts, as long as she is invisible and finds a high place to stand, I can't hide anything from her eyes.

I knew from the beginning that it was an unfair bet.

Long......

"You're not lying, it's really 'changing', not 'stealing'." The long-haired sister spoke, "Shouldn't you change the color of the key back now?" ”

"It should." I took out a copper basin that I had prepared long ago, and the basin was filled with a cloudy unknown liquid. "Actually, the key is not discolored, but rusty - I added a little 'material' to the dishes I cooked, as well as the lamp oil, and when we ate, the vegetable fragrance and lamp smoke quietly rusted the yellow key into a turquoise."

"Rust?" The long-haired sister's face changed, "Will that rust break the key?" ”

"Don't worry, it won't have much impact if it rusts just now, but it's hard to say after a long time." I pointed to the copper basin in front of me, "Just put the key in the basin and soak it for half an hour, and the rust will be removed." ”

"Really?" The long-haired sister was skeptical.

"Are you afraid that the key will dissolve if you put it in?" I raised my eyebrows.

The long-haired sister hesitated for a moment before saying, "You stand outside the house." ”

I obediently exited the cabin.

Through the door, I saw the long-haired sister untie the key and gently dip it into the copper basin.

Half an hour later, when I picked it up, I saw that the key had turned back to a beautiful golden yellow, even brighter and brighter than before.

"Sister Ling'er." I waited until she put the key back on her neck before I dared to enter the house.

The long-haired sister was also in a happy mood when she saw that the key was intact and new, but said: "I've also been too relaxed in the past two days, and I won't have the idea of playing the key again in the future." ”

I nodded again and again: "You won the bet, what do you want me to do, say it." ”

"Hmm." The corners of the long-haired sister's mouth were slightly upturned, and her eyes were empty, as if she was thinking about what to do with me.

Thinking about it, her cheeks turned from white to pink, from pink to red, and finally to white again.

What are you thinking about to have this kind of expression?

I was looking forward to it.

In the middle of the night, the long-haired sister returned to bed, still practicing and meditating.

"Clean up the table, sweep the floor, boil water for me to soak my feet...... By the way, I haven't fed the chickens tonight, so I'm going to feed the chickens first......"

She commanded unceremoniously.

Cluck...... Cluck......

Tonight's cocks are quite hostile.

After feeding the chickens, boiling water, tidying up the house, cleaning the inside and outside, then washing the copper basin, loading hot water and bringing it to the long-haired sister, a set of kung fu was done, and I was so tired that I was sweating profusely.

"Okay, you can go down." The long-haired sister waved her sleeves lightly.

"Yes......" I bowed and bowed.

No, this is not a court drama.

I straightened up and slowly exited the door; retreated all the way, but his eyes did not leave his long-haired sister for a moment, only to see her soaking her feet beautifully, and her face was full of comfort.

Seeing her like this, I felt a little guilty in my heart.

Alas, it is not easy to live alone in the valley.

Sighing, I walked to the place where I poured water to wash the copper basin.

On the ground, there was a pile of white debris.

I stretched out two fingers, pinched a piece of stone between the debris, and pinched it out.

To be precise, it should be called plaster.

I blew the plaster: the powder fell in a plop, revealing a shallow, clear mark.

The imprint of the key!

Hehe, even if you are careful, you still follow the master's way.

The dinner just now was not for nothing.

Can the effort of a meal really make the key rusty and discolored by the smoke of food?

Of course not.

It's all about the fruit lights.

(Common sense: Under different colors, the surface of the object will also appear in different colors.) )

The color of the lights and the placement of the lights are all exquisite.

At first, under the mixed illumination of more than a dozen fruit lights, the key looked no different than usual.

But when I took out the fake key in my right hand to attract Zhao Zhiling's attention, my left hand was not idle, and I secretly used the 'must hit' skill to extinguish one of the fruit lamps with a grain of sand.

Although only one light was extinguished, the overall color and light balance of the fruit lamp was disrupted, and at that time, all yellow objects appeared to be dark green, that is, the color of bronze. (Ed., continue to edit!) )

Of course, this technique is easy to spot, so I have another preparation: mushroom soup.

Everyone knows poisonous mushrooms, in addition to those deadly poisonous mushrooms and psychedelic mushrooms, there is also a kind of mushroom that is not poisonous and does not cause hallucinations, but only makes people appear mildly drunk.

There's that kind of mushroom in the forest.

The two-pronged approach finally succeeded in deceiving the long-haired sister.

It's not that the forest has exactly what I need, but it's that the forest has all the items that make me come up with such a plan.

In fact, at the beginning, I had already expected that she would spy on me - how could I not be nervous about the key that I had spent ten years of my life guarding? Imprudent?

So everything I do has to be done right under her nose, but I can't let her see the clues.

Mushrooms are absolutely harmless, fruit lights are normal.

The muddy water in the copper basin, she would only see me throw some powder into it, but luckily she didn't know what gypsum powder was.

In the end, even those two fake keys became the key embryo of the real key, and there was no waste......

The key to great change, success!
