Chapter Forty-Three: Monsters Again?
It snowed heavily all night......
The next day, when the sky was bright, Li Baizheng, who had a rare lazy sleep, got up refreshed and pushed the door out, and just wanted to go to the kitchen to boil some hot water to wash, when he suddenly found that on the roof of his hall, there was curling green smoke in the smoke of the fireplace, and the door of the hall was still tightly closed?
It seems like......
The female goblin surnamed Bai last night hadn't left when he went back to the bedroom to sleep, and he didn't dare to drive away in a funny way, thinking that the other party would leave in the middle of the night or something, and now it seems that the other party really stayed in his house all night?
Moreover, the other party acted as if he was dead, and closed the doors and windows tightly?
βοΌοΌβ
Wait, it can't be dead, right?
At this time, after Li Bai thought of something, he was suddenly shocked, and the whole person was completely sober.
Then he frowned slightly, and after feeling that there seemed to be a vague aura in the hall, he hurried forward, for fear that the other party would really make a big trouble.
"I hope nothing happens!"
He was very worried, for fear that the other party would be suffocated to death by carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide, so he would have to dispose of the corpse of a large python again.
Gala~!
Li Bai, who didn't knock on the door, directly stretched out his hand to push the door in, and when he raised his eyes, in addition to seeing the pile of red charcoal that was still burning in the fireplace with a small fire and white smoke, he naturally also saw the female goblin who was lying on the chaise longue like a chaise longue that he had asked someone to make for him a while ago, and was sleeping with red cheeks!
And looking at the way her chest heaved slightly and her breathing evenly, it didn't seem to be poisoned by carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide?
ββ¦β¦β
All right!
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be dead for the time being, Li Bai was finally a little relieved, and then he didn't walk in, but he didn't close the door for the other party anymore, just turned his head and walked quickly to the kitchen without saying a word, ready to boil water to wash and prepare to get some morning meals.
Of course, it must be just his breakfast, and he doesn't care if the female goblin wants to eat it, and he won't ask, after all, the other party is an uninvited villain who can't be driven away, and he doesn't have the heart to spend time serving such a little ancestor.
After thinking about it, Li Bai, who didn't think much of the fireplace in the hall, went to the kitchen, took out his fire sickle, long strips of flint, and a roll of velvet paper to prepare for the fire.
In this ancient period, taking fire is undoubtedly a very troublesome thing, the oldest way to make fire is undoubtedly the invention of Suiren to drill wood to make fire, but that method is too troublesome, and taking fire is cumbersome and time-consuming and labor-intensive, so, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with the invention of iron, the way of making fire has taken another step, that is, - fire sickle fire.
The fire sickle is also made of steel sickle and fire knife.
Since its invention, it has become the most popular, practical and relatively inexpensive tool for making fire in ancient times. Li Bai remembered that Meng Jiaona, who was also a poet of the Tang Dynasty, had a description in "Sencha Poems": "Knock stones to get fresh fire, draw springs to avoid fishy scales." This is the most realistic portrayal of the life of the ancients who used a fire sickle to make fire.
As for taking fire, Li Bai is already very skilled.
This is not?
When he came to the kitchen, he took out the tools and took out the flint and velvet paper rolls, the flint was on the top and the velvet was below, close together, and then held the flint in one hand, and the other hand held the steel plate and slammed the horizontal flint with the side, just hit it hard, and a large number of sparks from the stone poured onto the velvet and burst of green smoke, and then he blew lightly, and the open flame suddenly burned.
Actually, if he Li Bai could be as good at spells as a certain female goblin, it might be easier to get fire, but unfortunately, he didn't, so it was the only way.
Soon, when the open flame was successfully lured away, Li Bai was busy in the kitchen alone, and here in his house, in addition to the hall, the smoke on the kitchen finally followed.
β¦β¦
"Whew!!"
Last night, Wu Zhongxue, Ziyoujia Xingfa.
After a while, when Li Bai finished washing and had eaten and drunk enough, he came to the courtyard with his long sword and stood still, ready to concentrate on practicing his sword, he looked around, saw the vast scene of heaven and earth, and remembered some scattered memories, so he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
People say that the scenery of the northern country is frozen for thousands of miles and snow drifts, but at the moment, after a heavy snowfall, the scenery of Wudi in the south of the Jiangnan East of the Tang Dynasty is not inferior to the north! As far as the eye can see, the lake and mountains are also covered in the thick snow, and it is also a bewitching scene covered in silver.
However, it is indeed extremely cold today......
However, no matter what, Li Bai's daily swordsmanship practice is essential, at most, he doesn't run so far, and practices directly in his own yard?
ββ¦β¦β
After waiting for a while, in the cold wind, Li Bai, who was standing in his courtyard with his hands closed and holding his breath, was gradually emptying his thoughts.
I don't know how long it has passed, the sword box and iron sword next to him that he has planted in the thick snow have been directly condensed into ice by the cold wind and frost mist, and the cold north wind blew, and the crystal snowflakes flew and hit his cheeks, making his eyebrows and hair gradually appear small ice beads.
But even so, Li Bai was still unmoved.
Finally......
Qiang!!
The piercing sound of metal friction sounded, and the frozen sword was suddenly pulled out by Li Bai with a casual pull, and then in the flying ice slag, the sword qi wrapped in the blade and stabbed straight forward.
Swish!!
In the distance, there is the endless mountains and forests and the West Lake, which is almost frozen, they are as pure as crystal clear, and as charming as Susu.
Swish!!
Buzz~!
But Li Bai didn't care about that, as he danced, under his slaughtering sword momentum, for some reason, there was a faint smell of blood, which began to permeate his surroundings, and gradually dispersed with the sword power.
But......
Surprisingly, Li Bai didn't finish a complete set of swordsmanship today, and only practiced a few moves before he had to hesitate to stop, and then put away his sword and turned his head to look outside the courtyard gate.
At this time, he could already see that in the forest, which was also covered with thick snow, on the path that had long been covered with snow, three unscrupulous people dressed in thick fur clothes and dressed as servants outside were supporting each other, snorting and struggling towards him step by step, and looking at their gasping white air and anxious looks, it seemed that there was something urgent.
He was the only one who lived here, so Li Bai, who knew that they must have come to find him, had to make an exception to stop his daily practice, and prepared to take a look first, those people didn't hesitate to run and sweat in this weather and came to him early in the morning, what was the matter?
βοΌοΌ β
'It's Li Langjun! β
'Great, you're at home, you didn't run in vain!' β
'Whew! Call! β
'Ahh β
'My feet, you pull me ......'
It's finally here. β
Finally, after Li Bai, who was standing with a sword, opened the courtyard door and walked out, and waited a little impatiently, the three extremely embarrassed bad people and servants finally staggered to him.
ββ¦β¦β
"I wonder what happened when the three of you came here early in the morning?"
After arching his hand, as if he had already saluted the three of them, Li Bai asked hesitantly.
To be honest, he has never had any contact with these people since he entered the city to subdue the demons, even if the county commander invited him to the banquet several times, he didn't go, because he didn't like others to disturb him, especially when he was practicing swords!
Moreover, he has his own arrangements every day, has his own things to do, even if he doesn't have it, he likes to think about things or read books and practice calligraphy alone, and he doesn't like to be disturbed by these people in the government all day long, because he doesn't want the other party to come to him for anything in the future, and he doesn't want to become the kind of tool person who is called and waved by some people to solve some thorny problems.
"Li Langjun!"
"Big, big thing is not good!"
"There's a monster in the cell again!"
"That's right!"
"And ......"
"And Li Sanlang is our Li head...... HeγHe's dead, he's dead, and he's still been bitten alive by youkai!! β
Running to Li Bai's front and back, they didn't care about making friends with Li Baitao, and the three of them were like crying and mourning, and they said a word to me, and told the reason why they came here in the early morning in the wind and snow.
βοΌοΌβ
"What do you say? How is this possible?! β
After hearing this, Li Bai, who was originally a little disliked, directly changed his face, and then couldn't help but exclaim.
