Chapter 9: It's Dark
I swallowed my saliva, and was dragged by Zhang Xiaoxiao while being dragged by Sanshuidao, and reluctantly came to the kitchen.
"No, this is the pot, burn it." I pointed to the old-fashioned stove that blows fire with a bamboo tube.
"That's it?!" Zhang Xiaoxiao was surprised.
It's no wonder, after all, a child like her, who was born in a rich family, has never seen a pot, let alone a stove.
"Yes, there is firewood next to it, which is used to light the fire, and there is a big bamboo tube next to it, which is used to blow air to the bottom of the pot to increase the fire." I explained it to Zhang Xiaoxiao in detail.
But Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't seem to listen to me, and kept pulling the wheat straw stalks in the back, trying to use that to start a fire.
After pulling the wheat straw stalks, Zhang Xiaoxiao took the lighter that was placed aside, lit the fire, and then stuffed it under the pot.
But Zhang Xiaoxiao used too much force, and the angle was also a little problematic, no matter how she filled the wheat straw stalks to start the fire, the flames had already been extinguished before they reached the bottom of the pot.
I'm speechless about this Zhang Xiaoxiao, if it's really a rich kid, it's just different, I can't even light a fire.
"Forget it, let me do it." I said with a sigh.
She was probably tired of tossing, so she didn't say much and gave me the place.
I sat down in front of the stove, pulled a handful of straw stalks, lit them with a lighter, waited for the fire to get a little bigger, and then put it under the pot, and then pulled over a handful of straw, and after a few strokes, finally lit the fire.
I clapped my hands, got up and said to Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Okay, the fire has been lit by me, so come next." ”
With that, Zhang Xiaoxiao sat down in front of the stove again and began to light the fire.
But she was the same as when I first lit a fire, and she didn't start a fire.
"Why can't the fire be bigger?" Zhang Xiaoxiao said anxiously.
I smiled, I didn't expect to be a master today, and then I taught Zhang Xiaoxiao the set that the previous Sanshui Dao Master taught me.
"Take a deep breath to expel the miscellaneous qi in the body, and then, take a deep breath, sink into the dantian, practice this qi to heat, and then spit it out from the bamboo tube." I said to Zhang Xiaoqian.
Hearing me say this, Zhang Xiaoqian then really took a deep breath, then slowly spit it out, and then took a deep breath......
After repeating it several times, I didn't expect Zhang Xiaoxiao to really learn, and it was very simple to ignite the fire at the bottom of the pot.
"I didn't expect that your talent is not bad."
At this time, the chief of the three rivers suddenly stood by the door and said:
"Zhou Zhou, her talent is better than yours, you have to work hard, you can't let a later girl catch up."
I nodded, gave the chief of the three waterways a look, and said, "Don't worry, it won't." ”
After speaking, the chief of Sanshui turned around and left, and not long after, Zhang Xiaoxiao's pot was also boiled.
When I was having lunch, all of a sudden, Chief Sanshui stopped his chopsticks, looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao and me, and said, "Eat more, and you should train in a while." ”
As soon as she heard about the training, Zhang Xiaoxiao immediately became stunned and said, "Dao Chief, I just came here today, can I play for two days and then train." ”
The head of the three waterways said categorically: "No. ”
Since he said that it couldn't be done, there was no room for negotiation, no matter how Zhang Xiaoxiao begged the chief of the three waterways, he did not change the mind of the chief of the three waterways.
After lunch, the head of Sanshui called us out of the Taoist temple, pointed to a path and said:
"This path leads to the bottom of the mountain, and in the town below the mountain, there is a shop, and whoever of you goes to the store first to buy two boxes of cinnabar powder, two brushes, and some yellow rune paper will win, and the time will be before evening."
"What are you buying this for?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously.
The head of the three rivers nodded and said, "Good question, buy it back and teach you how to draw talismans." ”
I looked at the sky, although it was still early, Qinglong Mountain was difficult all the way, plus a round trip, if you want to rush back before dark, you can only run all the way.
"Can I go now?" I asked.
"Hmm." The chief of the three rivers said: "Let's go, but I remind you of one thing, that is, you can compete in normal times, but when you encounter danger, you still have to join forces." ”
I made a clear tidy-up towards the chief of the three waterways, then looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao, and said:
"So what are we waiting for, why don't we go quickly?"
With that, I ran towards the path first.
Zhang Xiaoxiao also followed closely behind me, but she was a girl after all, and it didn't take long for her physical strength to run out, and she was gradually thrown away by me.
I looked back and saw that Zhang Xiaoxiao had been left behind by me, so I just thought about resting for a while.
But before I could find a rock and prepare to sit down, a scream suddenly came from behind me.
"Zhou Zhou!" Zhang Xiaoxiao screamed.
I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart, and hurriedly turned around and went back to see how Zhang Xiaoxiao was doing.
Sure enough, when I looked back, Zhang Xiaoxiao actually fell into a big pit!
Moreover, inside the big pit, there are countless skeletons!
I was also taken aback by this scene, and suddenly I had a feeling of fear in my heart, but fortunately I didn't fall when I came over just now, otherwise, this Nizi would definitely not have saved me.
"What are you doing in a daze, help me up!" Zhang Xiaoxiao rubbed her feet and neck while saying as if she was about to cry.
I saw that her foot was injured, so I didn't think much of it, so I bent down and stretched out my hand, ready to pull Zhang Xiaoxiao up.
But at this time, my back obviously felt a force pushing me, because I was bending down to pull Zhang Xiaoxiao at this time, I was defenseless, and I was pushed down by this force at once.
I fell on top of a skull, and the skull hit my chest, and I passed out without taking a breath.
When I woke up again, it was almost dark outside.
Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was on the side, saw that I woke up and hurriedly walked over to me.
But her foot was injured, and she couldn't stand still, and threw herself into my arms.
"You...... Are you okay? I looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao in my arms and said.
Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head, slowly broke off from my arms, sat on the ground, and said:
"I'm fine, it's just that my foot twisted, but you, who have been in a coma from noon to now."
I sighed and said, "It's dark now, and I didn't finish the task of the chief of the three waterways, but I hurt myself." ”
"Don't worry, the chief of the three rivers will definitely come to us if he doesn't come back so late." Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
I shook my head, I still know what kind of personality Sanshuidao has, I guess now he is still watching a small movie from my mobile phone in the room!
I was thinking about it, but at this time, Zhang Xiaoxiao next to me suddenly exclaimed: "Zhou Zhou, come over and see what this is!" ”
