Jin Shi is lucky, the native learned to go up the mountain and down the water from elementary school, and a few people are miserable, completely landlubbers, Xiu'er is one of them.

There are undoubtedly talented people here, and they have excellent physical fitness, and they can't swim and jump into the water to adapt to it after a while, and Nocao is like this, he will jump into the water and choke on a mouthful of water.

But Xiu'er really made Jin Shi hurt, no matter how he instructed, he just couldn't learn it. Seeing her tossing and turning in the water, Nokao frowned, and simply jumped into the water and supported Jin Shi alone.

Seeing that the sky is about to get dark, other people who don't know water have learned during this time, and several have begun to try rock climbing, and they have tried several times, and they are very anxious to see Jinshi. On the contrary, looking at Xiu'er who was scared and excited, laughing and crying, Jin Shi frowned, raised the decibel and said, "Be serious." ”

Xiu'er was stunned and stared at Jin Shi pitifully. Jin Shi thought to himself, he must be ruthless to her, and he must be restrained.

Xiu'er slowly raised her right hand, her fingertips turned into claws, and she sinked into the water violently, splashing a wave and hitting Jin Shi's face.

Jin Shi couldn't cry or laugh, and told himself that he had to hold back, and he had to scold her twice. The construction of his heart has been determined, he wants to open his mouth, and as soon as he reaches his throat in one breath, who knows that Xiu'er slowly lifted his hand out of the water, and five slender fingers firmly grasped a big fish, each finger pierced into the body of the fish, and it was useless to let the big fish struggle.

"I'm hungry. Xiu'er said coquettishly, her words were extremely gentle, and she also had a girl's tone.

Jin Shi let out a long sigh, after all, he lost to her.

The sinkhole was damp, and although some firewood could be found, it was all wet, and there was no way to make it, and there was no tool to make a fire. So Xiu'er had an idea and told Nokao to continue collecting firewood, and she actually called Vermilion over.

Although Zhu Hongying's cultivation is taller than Xiu'er, she is as small as an unborn baby, and she doesn't even have the right to cry, so she is resigned, and says in a pleading tone: "Please let me go!"

"If you don't clean up tonight, help me light the fire. Xiu'er pointed to the wet firewood that was still dripping.

It's a bit difficult to raise this fire, you have to dry the firewood before it can be burned, and the second skill of the fire system is the best. But letting an archmage light the fire is too big and too much, or the grade is really high.

But Zhu Hongying was very happy, showed a bright smile, nodded vigorously in agreement, and used the fire flow skill to bake the wet wood that had just been piled up in Jinshi.

Before it was dried, Nokao came back with a bunch of wet firewood, Xiu'er smiled innocently, and said, "Take your time, don't worry, bake all of these, use them at night, and when the fish is cooked, you will share a little." ”

"No, no. Zhu Hongying waved her hand and shook her head, she knew very well, how could Xiu'er be so kind, she had been full and hungry for a whole month, and she didn't even have a root of vegetables left, and now the food shortage will be distributed to herself?

Jin Shi didn't bother to care, he simply entered a meditative state, thinking about how to conquer the waterfall, and at the end of the day, everyone failed, and the highest record was Remer, a little higher than Jin Shi's record.

It was getting dark, and Nokao and Xiu'er were around the fire, staring at the golden stone, there were several large fish on the ground, which Xiu'er caught while the golden stone was meditating, and it was known from the five dented finger prints on each fish's body.

Jin Shi asked, "What are you staring at me for?"

"Neither I nor Nokao can cook. Xiu'er said it was reasonable, and the volume increased, and Jin Shi even heard a little sense of pride.

Jin Shi sighed, rolled up his sleeves, and tried to remember what the fish should do. Reminiscing back and forth, I recalled Dahe Village and remembered my mother's kind smile.

Ten years old is a very embarrassing age, whether it is big or small, it is between the clear and the unclear. Jin Shi wondered if if he was a little smaller, he would only cry and wait for the bandits to cut off his head, or if he was a little older, would he be able to pick up the guy and fight with the bandits.

Perhaps it was also at that embarrassing age that Jin Shi was full of hatred for the invaders in his heart, and he also deeply treasured the purest love that his parents gave him.

Thinking about the fish at the last meal he cooked with his mother at that time, Jin Shi clearly remembered that the big fish was caught by him himself from the river, raised in the water tank for several days, and waited for his father to come back and taste it together as a family. At that time, I was really happy, a fish you clip for me, I clip it for you, and my heart was instantly full.

But now, my heart is empty, like night, swallowing up all visions.

Jin Shi's face was as cold as ever, but his eyes revealed too much gloomy emotion, which was rendered to Xiu'er and Nokao, who were staring at him.

Xiu'er pinched the sleeve of Jin Shi's coat, shook it gently, her voice was soft and concerning, and said, "Stone." ”

"Good stone. ”

"Eat more stones. ”

A 'stone' is like throwing a stone into the calm surface of the lake, shaking the waves of countless memories. Everyone called him gold, but his parents called him stone. Xiu'er's two words made Jin Shi feel that the tenderness of his parents seemed to be beside him, and tears suddenly burst out of his eyes, as if he heard his father talking in his ear.

"Protect Mom. ”

"Don't ...... Fear. ”

Jin Shi noticed his gaffe, wiped away his tears, squeezed out a very awkward and ugly smile, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I haven't cooked for a long time, and I don't know what to do." ”

I don't know what I said, but my movements are very numb.

But Jin Shi really hadn't cooked for a long time, and the fish baked out was extremely black, and Nokao frowned and said, "Can this be eaten?"

Xiu'er has always been very particular about eating, and at this time she grabbed one of the blackest grilled fish, bit it without thinking about it, showed appreciation, and said several times in a row, "It's delicious." ”

Xiu'er ate in a hurry, her mouth was stained with a lot of blackened charcoal, in Jinshi's memory, Xiu'er always chewed and swallowed slowly when eating, and this eating only happened once, that was when they met for the first time in Xiaonanzhai, and later learned that she had been hungry for three whole days.

Looking at her appearance shorter than her peers, Jin Shi wondered if she used to often not have enough to eat, so it affected her physical growth. Thinking of this, he felt pity, and involuntarily raised his hand to wipe the stains on Xiu'er's mouth with his sleeve.

"Eat slowly. ”

"Oh!" Xiu'er replied very well-behaved.

Although the appearance is ugly, the taste is indeed not bad, and it can still be eaten when the dark layer is peeled off.

After eating, Jin Shi lay down and fell asleep.

In the quiet night, there is no room for other sounds except the waterfall, but fortunately, a bright moon in the sky is reflected in the waterhole, adding a lot of color, making people feel that the night is not so terrible.

The fire was still burning, and it continued to exude warmth. The end of a piece of firewood was not dried by vermilion tassels, and when it burned in the heat, it suddenly burst, breaking the quiet night. A spark bounced high with this explosion, like a wild horse on the loose, and flew wildly towards the back of Jinshi's hand.

Jin Shi woke up and jerked his hand back.

At this time, he was a little stunned, this scene was so similar to his memory, and his expression was lost.

When he came back to his senses, Jin Shi found that Xiu'er and Nokao were not there, and he didn't see anyone when he raised his eyes. I thought where I could go in the evening, so I got up and searched.

On the shallow side of the waterhole, Xiu'er slapped indiscriminately in the water, her breathing rhythm was not mastered, she choked on saliva, and when she was pulled up by Nokao, she coughed violently.

"Xiu'er, are you alright?" Nokao worried.

"It's okay, let's go ahead! You grab me, the water is terrible. Xiu'er wiped the water on her face, her expression was so serious, Jin Shi rarely saw such a Xiu'er.

Nokao was puzzled and asked, "Why do you come to practice at night? Why can't you practice tomorrow, I'm tired and want to sleep." ”

"No, I'm not allowed to sleep until I get over it. ”

"Okay!" the innocent Nokao could only reluctantly agree.

Xiu'er breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "If the stone finds out that I have learned to swim tomorrow, I will definitely be happy and frightened." ”

After saying this, Xiu'er threw herself into the water without hesitation, and Nokao watched her every move intently to prevent drowning.

Jin Shi's indifferent face softened, and the corners of his mouth rose high, Xiu'er had never seen such a Jin Shi. He slowly turned back to the fire, closed his eyes and fell asleep, as if he had a good dream, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
