Chapter 3 If you can become a master
Before following Jiang Xiaorou back home, it was hard for Yi Yun to imagine that this "home" was actually the scene in front of him.
Originally, when Yi Yun saw the swordsman riding a giant beast, he guessed that there might be many masters in this different world, so it should be a big family all over the place, with many sects and many handsome talents.
If he can be related to some big families and sects, then even if he has never practiced martial arts, his talent is not good, and he is even just a concubine, he is very unpopular, but at least he can barely get by, and he will not worry about food and clothing.
But......
Seeing the dilapidated house in front of him, Yi Yun was really drunk.
Yi Yun had also been to remote villages in the past and had seen the houses there, but compared to the houses in front of him, they were far from enough.
The house was made of stone and yellow mud, and the house was destitute, with nothing but a table, two stools, two old beds, and a stove.
Jiang Xiaorou carried Yi Yun into the house, Yi Yun was not used to being carried by a little girl along the way, and struggled down a few times, but his body was too weak, and after walking for a long time, he was too tired and panting, and he had to be carried by Jiang Xiaorou again.
Thinking of being a big man and being carried all the way by a little girl, Yi Yun was a little embarrassed.
"Yun'er, are you hungry......" Jiang Xiaorou put Yi Yun on a small wooden bed and wiped the sweat beads on her face, but her face was full of joy, her brother came to life, and she was naturally happy in her heart.
Yi Yun looked at Jiang Xiaorou's back, his clothes were soaked in sweat, wet, although he was thin and lightweight, but he had a three-to-five-mile journey all the way, Jiang Xiaorou was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he had to carry himself on his back from time to time, how could he be relaxed.
If you change the fifteen-year-old girl on the earth, let alone walking so far on your back, you will be tired enough to walk three or five miles empty-handed.
"Hmm...... Yes...... Somewhat. ”
Yi Yun opened his dry lips, this was the first time he had spoken since he crossed into this world, he thought that it would be difficult to speak in this language that did not belong to him, but he didn't expect to speak this language as if he was speaking Mandarin, as if this was also his native language.
"I'm going to cook. Jiang Xiaorou smiled sweetly, carefully wiped the dirt on Yi Yun's face with her sleeve, pulled out a pillow for Yi Yun to lean on, and then pulled a thin futon, and carefully covered Yi Yun, her hands and feet were nimble, and her movements were gentle, which made Yi Yun a little trance for a while.
This girl was not his sister at all, but she carried herself all the way and took care of him meticulously, which made him feel a warmth in his heart.
Jiang Xiaorou wanted to make a fire to cook, and Yi Yun wanted to help, but Jiang Xiaorou was pressed on the bed.
"You are recovering from a serious illness, don't suffer from the cold, lie down carefully, and your sister will come when she goes. ”
Jiang Xiaorou said, picking up a fluttering grain bag.
Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Xiaorou placed the shabby wooden table in front of the bed, and on the wooden table was a large bowl of rice porridge, two unknown wild fruits, and a bowl of boiled wild vegetables.
Yi Yun had been hungry for several days before, and his chest had already been pressed against his back, and when he saw this meal, Yi Yun felt that his stomach was sour.
At this time, Yi Yun really wanted to eat a meal of braised pork, what kind of roast chicken, roast duck and boiled fish, as long as he thought about the taste, Yi Yun's stomach was twitching.
So hungry, how can you be full after eating these?
He opened his mouth and took a sip of rice porridge, the rice porridge was not thin, but it couldn't stand Yi Yun's empty stomach, and the hot rice porridge stimulated Yi Yun's peristalsis and made people feel even hungrier.
I drank half of the rice porridge in a few sips, and ate some boiled wild vegetables that didn't even have an oil star, the wild vegetables were astringent and bitter, even if Yi Yun was very hungry, he felt that it was difficult to swallow.
With such an unpalatable meal, Yi Yun felt that he couldn't eat it anymore, and then he noticed that Jiang Xiaorou was just looking at him, and he didn't eat at all, so he asked with some confusion: "Why don't you eat it?"
"I've eaten it, and I ate it when I went to look for you. Jiang Xiaorou's little face turned slightly pale, and she bit her lip lightly as she spoke.
Yi Yun chuckled in his heart, he remembered that when Jiang Xiaorou came to the cemetery, it was less than three o'clock in the afternoon, and he had dinner at that time?
He suddenly realized that even such a meal would not be able to manage enough in normal times.
What kind of world is this, why is there such a powerful warrior riding a wild beast, but there are such poor people who are starving to death?
Yi Yun pushed the rice porridge, stood up and looked at the grain bag in the corner of the room, and sure enough, the grain bag was empty.
Yi Yun suddenly understood, the rice porridge that Jiang Xiaorou usually boiled was much thinner than this, but today, Jiang Xiaorou was because she had just come back to life and felt that her body was too weak, so she specially boiled a thicker porridge to "replenish her body".
"I'm full, you eat. Yi Yun pushed the rice porridge to Jiang Xiaorou, firstly, he couldn't eat it, and secondly, he couldn't let a girl save something for him to eat.
He felt a little emotion in his heart, he was still thinking about coming to this different world, whether he could go back, but he couldn't go back, so he looked for an opportunity to practice his skills and make himself a strong man who flew away.
But now it seems that even being alive is a problem, and I don't know if I starved to death before I could research anything.
"I'm not hungry. Jiang Xiaorou stubbornly pushed the bowl back, "Tomorrow is the day of the grain, I can get a piece of meat, and I will stew it for your brother when the time comes." ”
Speaking of the grain, Jiang Xiaorou's pretty face was also slightly ruddy, obviously looking forward to this "grain".
Yi Yun was silent, when he was on the earth, he felt that it was not easy for anyone to live, and Yi Yun himself was too, but compared to this other world, that kind of life pressure is really nothing, he can't even eat, and he is even facing the danger of starvation, this is really not easy life.
The taste of starvation is really painful.
......
In the middle of the night, the night breeze was gentle, and the sound of frogs and crickets came from the grass of the pond.
Yi Yun didn't sleep, he leaned on the bed, facing the moonlight, looking at the mysterious amethyst in his hand over and over again.
I can climb out of the collapsed mountain, all thanks to amethyst, this small spar card, is undoubtedly a treasure.
If you can study it, you may get some benefits.
This otherworld is extremely dangerous, but it is only for ordinary people, think about the middle-aged man riding a giant beast that he saw in the wilderness before, how high-spirited he is, compared to them who are suffering people, the status is simply the difference between heaven and earth.
"If I can become a master, then I can be free, at least not starving......"
Yi Yun touched his stomach, after all, some of the porridge for dinner was still given to Jiang Xiaorou, Yi Yun was the time to grow his body, the porridge was not digested at all, and now he was hungry.
Just when Yi Yun felt empty in his stomach, the smooth and cold amethyst in his hand came with a burst of coolness, which seemed to ......
Hey?
Yi Yun crossed a spiritual light in his mind, like a spring, and sat up from the bed suddenly, his two eyes staring directly at the amethyst in his hand, and a touch of surprise appeared on his face.
Yi Yun found that after looking at the amethyst for a long time, some extremely subtle purple points of light appeared around the amethyst, which could not be seen at all if he didn't look carefully.
These points of light were generated out of thin air, slowly flew into the amethyst, and then disappeared, seemingly absorbed by the amethyst, this process lasted for an unknown amount of time, and the faint light emitted by the amethyst was obviously brighter.
What's going on?
This discovery made Yi Yun's breathing slightly shorter.
When the light of amethyst was getting brighter and brighter, Yi Yun obviously felt that amethyst was also getting cooler and cooler, and this very peculiar coolness spread all over his limbs along his hands, as if his whole body had been washed by the spiritual spring, which was extremely refreshing.
Yi Yun remembers this feeling, when he was digging a cave, every time he was tired and out of breath, he would feel this kind of coolness, which made his originally forced body regain some strength.
Yi Yun knows that people can live and work because the metabolism in the body provides the energy needed for life activities.
If you don't eat, you don't have nutrition, and naturally you don't have energy, so people starve to death.
I survived without eating or drinking water for a few days and nights, working at high intensity, and completed such a long tunnel, there must be an energy supply, and this cold feeling should be the flow of life energy provided by Amethystum for itself.
When I think about it, when I first found Amethyst in the cave, Amethyst emitted a shimmer like a pearl of the night.
And when he crossed over to this other world, the light of amethyst was weak, probably because a lot of energy was consumed.
But now, the light in the amethyst is slowly replenishing and strengthening, what is it that replenishes the energy of the amethyst?
Yi Yun observed carefully and found that these faint, extremely small points of light were connected together, stretching out of the window, and it seemed to be ...... From the stars in the sky.
Starlight, can replenish the energy of amethyst?
Yi Yun thought for a while, then jumped off the bed at once, he came to the stove, took out a charcoal that was still burning from the stove, lit a handful of hay with it, and the yellow flame rose.
Yi Yun carefully roasted the amethyst on the fire.
Yi Yun's idea is very simple, since Amethyst can absorb energy from the starlight in the sky, can it also absorb energy from the surrounding environment?
Flame is a kind of energy, in Yi Yun's understanding, it should be more intense than starlight, if amethyst absorbs the energy in the flame, will it be faster?
As for whether the flame would burn out the amethyst, this was something that Yi Yun had never considered.
However......
No matter how Yi Yun burned Amethyst with fire, Amethyst didn't change anything, and he couldn't even feel any heat of Amethyst.
Amethyst seems to be a piece of ice that can't be burned, and it is always cold until the charcoal hay burns out.
Yi Yun shook his head and had no choice but to give up the experiment.
He planned to take a look outside the house, the starlight outside the house was even more brilliant, maybe it would allow Amethyst to absorb more energy.
If the amethyst is allowed to absorb enough energy, what changes can it make?
Yi Yun is looking forward to this!
Yi Yun quietly pushed open the door and the courtyard door, and then closed it carefully, he was afraid of waking up his sister in the next room, but when Yi Yun walked out of the courtyard, he was slightly stunned.
He saw that under the shadow of a tree not far away, a young girl in green clothes was sitting on a small bench, carefully polishing an arrow in her hand.
The cold arrows, reflecting the cold moonlight, shone on the girl's delicate face, as if covered with a layer of silver veil, and beside the girl, dozens of fireflies were flying, fluorescent, like the elves surrounding the goddess.
Jiang Xiaorou?
Yi Yun saw that beside Jiang Xiaorou, there was a bundle of feather arrows neatly stacked, each arrow was finely polished, the arrow was sharp, and the arrow shaft was shiny.
"It's ......"
Although Yi Yun didn't understand cold weapons, he could also feel that these arrows were not ordinary.
"Yun'er, why did you come out, the dew is heavy at night, your body is just right, hurry up and lie on the bed. Jiang Xiaorou hurriedly stood up and was about to push Yi Yun into the house.
"Sister, why are there so many arrows?" Yi Yun was a little puzzled, looking at Jiang Xiaorou's appearance, it didn't look like she could bend a bow and shoot arrows.
"This is for tomorrow in exchange for food, it's always been like this......"
Jiang Xiaorou glanced at Yi Yun strangely.
"Uh......" Where does Yi Yun know this, it is very strange that he has traveled to this world, although he understands words and languages, but he doesn't know anything about the life of "Yi Yun", all his memories are his own, no more, no less than half a point.
This is similar to amnesia after a traumatic brain injury, where people with amnesia forget everything, but they don't forget words.
Yi Yun had already thought of the wording and explained: "Sister, after I died once, there are some things that I can't remember......
"Don't remember?" Jiang Xiaorou was stunned, Yi Yun fell off the rock wall and broke his bones when he was collecting medicine, and died of illness after lying on the bed for a while, thinking about it now, he may have fallen on his head at that time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaorou was distressed and worried.
"Yun'er, you ......"
"I'm fine. Yi Yun hurriedly stopped Jiang Xiaorou, lest she worry unnecessarily, "Sister, tell me about this world, and the middle-aged man riding a giant beast, what is going on, I don't remember many things......"
......
