Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Sea
When Xiaoman woke up, he saw Xiaotian standing on the shore waiting for him to wake up, looking at his hair, he should have waited for a long time, and his body was already dry.
"Xiaotian, don't you know how to pull me up?"
What responded to him was a roll of the eye.
"Stinky boy, don't shout, if it weren't for him, you would have drowned, what do you say is the picture of a dog that big dragging a pig swimming in the river?"
"The pig you're talking about can't be me, right?"
"Or else is there anyone else?"
When Xiaoman woke up, Li Qingfeng also woke up, and just as he was about to get up, the junior brother next to him hurriedly came over to help her up, and asked anxiously:
"Senior Brother Qingfeng, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing to fight with the man. ”
"Didn't you beat him? Is he a lot higher than you?"
"Not really, he's on the same level as me, he's a really good opponent and we should be considered a draw. ”
"How is it possible that there is still someone who can lose both with you at the same level?"
"I used to think so, but it seems that I have short-sightedness. Okay, I'm fine, you can go and get busy yourself!"
Li Qingfeng always thought he was a kendo genius before, but he didn't know that he was indeed a little arrogant until he had a fight last night. Thinking of this, I secretly resolved in my heart that I would cultivate hard in the future.
Xiao Man was already hungry when he climbed to the shore, and he didn't buy anything in the town, plus the violent consumption yesterday, he now felt that he was about to return to the west. Let Xiaotian catch two fish in the water, make a fire, and grill it casually, although there is no condiment, but this fish is actually a little salty, just a little fishy. Xiao Man seemed to suddenly think of something, and immediately asked anxiously:
"Lord Flame Soul, where are we going now, do you know the way home?"
"Of course I do, but I didn't faint when you fainted. Your rafting has saved you a lot of distance, and the direction of home is behind you. ”
Xiao Man turned around and looked, except for the river in front of him, it seemed that he was going to walk the waterway for a while. Picking up Xiao Tian, Xiao Man suddenly had an idea, if he stood on the water, would he not have to walk, would the current carry himself? Thinking that this would run the qi to his feet, he soon stood up on the water. Just now, I wanted to be proud of a whirlpool that made him fall into the water and become a soup chicken, Xiaoman continued to get up and stand on the water to practice repeatedly.
"Boy, you think it's so simple to tread water, the water flow is changing in real time, and if you want to stand firm on it, you have to follow the flow of water to change your qi at any time. ”
It turned out that the problem was here, and Xiaoman began his own practice. Don't say that if you do this, you can increase your control over qi, and it can still play a role in cultivation. After most of the day's training, Xiaoman can already stand firmly on the water, and his body fluctuates with the changes of the water, which is quite fun. After that, Xiaoman hugged Xiaotian and went with the flow, and it didn't take long for Xiaoman to see a figure on the shore, presumably to a certain village. The enthusiastic Xiaoman wanted to come forward to say hello, but before he could speak, the people who saw him threw down the things in their hands and fled in a hurry. He also shouted in his mouth, "The water ghost is here, run!" and he was treated as a water ghost by others, Xiao Man picked his crotch while laughing at himself. I don't know why I always feel that my chickens are a little strange lately, how to say it, it's itchy from time to time.
"Lord Flame Soul, I've been itching a lot lately, and it seems to have some little hair, do you know what's going on?"
As soon as this sentence was said, Lord Yan Soul couldn't straighten his waist, Xiao Man was at a loss, and Xiao Tian looked at him speechlessly. Because there were no people around, Xiao Man didn't use his soul to transmit his voice, so Xiao Tian could also hear it, he was still speechless, what's wrong with growing a little hair, isn't he still a hairy body.
"What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, you probably put it bad, it's like mold, or you cut it!"
"Don't make trouble, I haven't gotten married yet, I haven't passed on the ancestry, and you let me cut it?"
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you, you're going to grow up, like a chick has become an eagle. ”
"That means it's fine, but what about after that?"
"Are you stupid? If you become an eagle, of course you have to eat meat. It is said that if you are ugly, you should read more, you see that you have suffered the loss of no culture. ”
"I always feel that if I talk to you for a while, I will get into something that is not serious. ”
After not talking to Lord Flame Soul, Xiao Man found that the river in front of him had widened a lot, and after floating for a while, Xiao Man found that the originally clear river water had turned blue.
"the big lake. ”
"Don't be ashamed, it's the sea. ”
"You say that's the sea. ”
"Oh, why did I follow such a thing as you, it's a shame to say it. ”
Xiao Man walked from the river to the land, carefully looking at the endless sea, it was really spectacular.
"Xiaotian, you see that we have seen the sea, this is the first time we have seen the sea. It's huge!"
"Yes. ”
After being excited for a while, Xiaoman was worried, although the sea was beautiful, he seemed to have no way.
"Well, Lord Flame Soul, I'm short-sighted, can we get around it according to your experience?"
"I'm a father and a mother at the same time, and the sea will change and there is no way ahead. And the extent of the sea is probably beyond your understanding, and if you want to get around it, it will probably take several years. ”
"Is it really that big? What can I do?"
It seems that I can only cross it, so let's find a way to find a boat first. Xiaoman thought that there should be people coming to fish in the sea here, and see if he could buy one from others. Xiao Man began to walk along the beach, thinking that it would be good to meet someone, but just like Lord Yan Soul said, this sea is really big, Xiao Man has been walking for a long time and still hasn't seen a single figure. The sun was setting while walking, and when Xiao Man was still wandering on the beach, a big wave suddenly hit, and Xiao Man was swept into the sea by the waves before he could react. All this happened so suddenly, Xiaoman would never have thought that there would be such a high tide. Xiao Man stepped on the sea water and stood on the sea, but the sea water was rough and much more difficult than on the river. When Xiaoman's strength was exhausted, the whole person floated weakly on the sea, fortunately, he had a fishing boat, because the fishing ran far, the result would come a little late, and when he saw a black shadow on the sea, he thought it was a big fish, and he dragged Xiaoman to the boat.
"I thought it was a fish?"
"Thank you, Uncle Vomit, for saving your life. ”
Xiao Man said while spitting out seawater.
"Young man, how are you floating on the sea?"
At this time, Xiao Man finally vomited the seawater in his stomach, spit out two mouthfuls of saliva and replied:
"I wanted to go home, but I needed to cross the sea to get home, and it was the first time I saw the sea, and I was swept up in it while I was walking on the beach. ”
"It's high tide, and the sea has high and low tides every day. Alright, come back with me first!"
After saying that, the uncle took Xiaoman all the way back to his home, and the uncle warmly invited Xiaoman to stay at home temporarily, Xiaoman was not polite, and after a simple dinner at the uncle's house, Xiaoman fell asleep. By the time he woke up, it was already the next morning, and he came out to say hello to his uncle, who was washing his face and his wife was boiling porridge. Xiaoman also washed up and drank seafood porridge, don't you say that Xiaoman drank seafood porridge for the first time, it feels great. When they were all finished eating, Xiao Man couldn't help but ask
"Uncle, do you know how to build a ship? I want to build a ship to go home, but I can't swim across such a big sea. ”
"Young man, you want to cross the sea?"
"yes. ”
"I'd advise you to go back, there's a kraken in the sea. ”
"Uncle, I haven't been home for six years, and I'm homesick. ”
"You... Okay, you go out to sea with me to fish first, and I'll teach you how to build a boat when I come back early tonight. ”
"Thank you, uncle!"
Looking at Xiao Man's cheerful figure, the uncle shook his head.
"That's a little older, how old he was six years ago, and he was also a hard-working child. ”
The uncle took Xiaoman out to sea, Xiaoman still felt strange when he sat on the boat, people's wisdom is really not for fun, this kind of method can be imagined. In order to let this uncle help him, Xiao Man decided to show some real skills, Xiao Man turned on his soul to detect whether there were any fish under the water, and when a school of fish passed by, Xiao Man would remind him to go to the net. The uncle thought that Xiaoman's eyes were good and he didn't say anything, and soon the uncle's harvest was piled up all over the boat. The uncle couldn't close his mouth happily, after all, it had only been half a day since there was such a harvest, and the uncle who had a good harvest planned to return now. In front of a shipload of goods, the two returned home, and the uncle really taught Xiaoman how to build a boat directly when he arrived at home, Xiaoman himself was smart, and only half a day later built a small boat.
The next day, Xiaoman decided to go to sea with his uncle, who helped him so much and helped him catch more fish. This time, the uncle learned wisely and brought all the nets that could hold fish in his home. Wait until noon when the uncle is full again, and at this time Xiaoman says goodbye to the uncle.
"Xiaoman, are you really going?"
"Yes, uncle, let's separate here, you go back, I'll go. ”
"Take care!"
After the uncle finished speaking, he drove his boat to turn around and go back, Xiaoman was drifting along the boat with the water, and when the uncle left, he also gave Xiaoman a fishing rod, saying that he was bored in the sea, and if he was bored, he would fish. Xiao Man took the pole and put it on the boat, thinking about how boring he could be. As a result, in just three days, Xiaoman felt that the whole person was going crazy, and the scenery was exactly the same all around, everywhere was the blue water, and anyone on it would go crazy. In desperation, Xiaoman picked up the fishing rod given to him by his uncle, and when he picked up the fishing rod, Xiaoman felt that it was different from the one he used before. But also for themselves used to fish in the river, the river water will not be very deep, so the line is not long, the fish drift will not be very big, now the uncle sent the fishing rod line is very long, the fish drift is very large, it should be for the hook below to float in the sea water does not sink, this should not sink to the end who knows how deep the sea is not. Xiao Man hung the hook on the earthworm and put it in the sea, but after waiting for a long time, only one small fish was caught by him. Xiao Man looked at Xiao Yu and felt that it was not enough to stuff his teeth at all, and he was just about to throw it away when he was stopped by Lord Flame Soul.
"It's definitely better for you to use this little fish as bait than you are to use an earthworm. ”
