Chapter 12: The Bath and the Covenant
Zuo Di approached the boy named Mo Chen, sat down with a big grin, and stretched out his little short hand: "Since we have announced our names, we are friends!" β
Mo Chen seemed to dislike others approaching, and his body shrunk, but he didn't avoid it for some reason. He wrung his eyebrows and looked at Zuo Di's outstretched hand, not knowing what it meant. But he replied slowly: "Yes...... Friend. βγ Friend...... What a strange word, at least in the past six years of his life, it has never been there!
Seeing that he didn't react, Zuo Di was not embarrassed, she retracted her hand and asked curiously: "Do those people often bully you?" "Zuo Di is very experienced in being beaten, and the more you struggle and scream, the more you can satisfy the other party's sadistic psychology. On the contrary, if you don't say a word or just pretend to be dead, you will suffer a lot less sin. And the performance of this teenager is undoubtedly a veteran.
Mo Chen smiled, and a trace of sadness flashed in his dark eyes: "Yes, often...... No one likes me. β
Zuodi's heart shrank, a little distressed, she seemed to see her former self: "It doesn't matter if no one likes it, you have to like yourself!" It's okay to be bullied, remember these people who bully you, and practice martial arts! When you grow up, seek revenge on them! You...... Are your parents gone? β
As soon as her words fell, the fairy-like young man instantly became tense, he clenched his fists and his eyes were red: "No! At! Finish! A word came out of his teeth.
Zuo Di was a little puzzled by his demeanor, as if his resentment was greater than his sadness. She felt that the atmosphere was wrong, so she changed the topic and took out the stolen crime tool from her arms, and asked with a smile: "Mo Chen, this is a fire sickle, will you use it?" β
Mo Chen's tense body relaxed slightly, but his brows tightened again: "It's very dangerous for you to do this thing at a young age." β
As soon as Zuo Di saw that there was a door, he excitedly said: "What danger is not dangerous, if you are afraid, just say it." Hmph, you definitely won't use it! β
Sure enough, it's a child! Mo Chen's head was hot, and he felt that he was being underestimated - he was still a three or four-year-old female doll. He pulled the fire sickle: "Of course I will, I don't believe it to you!" He took the scythe and stretched out his hand: "Where are the flints and velvet?" Bring! β
Tut-tut, professional! Zuo Di was not ashamed to take out the stone and wooden box that Hongguo was going to bring. I saw Mo Chen open the wooden box, and there was a very thin flannel cloth inside. He tied the flannel cloth to the stone and struck it with a fire sickle. In a few clicks, the flannel was set on fire.
Zuo Di was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Quick! Quick, light a fire! β
Mo Chen didn't know what the girl doll wanted to do, but she took a handful of hay and wrapped it in flannel. In a few moments, smoke rose from the hay, and he picked up some dry branches from the nearby ground, and soon a small fire was lit.
Zuo Di saw that there was a fire, and she was about to unload the mill and kill the donkey, she pretended to be disgusted and said to Mo Chen: "Look at you are dirty like a mud monkey, not shy!" Why don't you go home and change your clothes! β
When Mo Chen heard this, his face turned red. I've long been accustomed to this commonplace bullying, but for some reason I don't want to be seen by her. He approached and wanted to extinguish the fire, but was stopped by Zuo Di: "I have to wait a while, you can go quickly, the smell is bad and dead!" She fanned her nose.
Mo Chen was a little embarrassed, seeing that she was really resolute and unclean, so he had to say: "Then you can only look away, and if you see enough, you must extinguish it, just cover it with soil......
"Got it, got it! See you next time! Zuo Di pushed him back a few steps.
"Then next time, goodbye......" Mo Chen muttered to himself. β¦β¦ Can we say goodbye? He turned around a few steps and finally left Zuo Di's line of sight.
Although there are many questions about this teenager, there are more important things at present.
Seeing Mo Chen walking away, Zuo Di immediately got busy, she brought more hay and dead branches, and expanded a small fire to more than half a meter high! The heat hit her face, and her hair immediately curled slightly.
Hong Guo'er, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke: "It's almost, wrap your hair, and then it's up to you!" You remember, be sure to be fast! If you succeed, the flames will no longer hurt you, and if you fail...... As long as it's fast, it's a little painful at most, and it's fine! β
It's a lie to say no. Not to mention passing through, even if you get a little closer, the splashed sparks hurt when you hit your body! Zuo Di took a deep breath and said secretly: I only hope for one success...... It seems that it can only be successful once, if it is a slight mistake...... There will be no next time......
Bandaging her hair and abandoning the messy thoughts, she took a few steps back to run, accelerated to the fire, closed her eyes, and rushed in against the heat!
- Hot! It's hot!
- She only felt that the exposed skin seemed to have been cut from top to bottom by a knife!
It's only been a few seconds, but it's been longer than a day in her feelings......
The flames licked her delicate hands and face, and the smoke choked her with a frantic cough, and her face was covered with snot and tearsβher lungs ached like flames.
She wanted to struggle away from the fire, but for some reason she couldn't move, and could only face the pain of flesh and boneβ
In the end, even the blood in the body boiled! She seemed to smell the smell of burnt skin......
β¦β¦
Five or six meters away from the fire, the young man named Mo Chen did not leave, he finally did not worry about leaving the girl alone, so he hid behind the tree and guarded. He watched the girl add branches and hay, and was wondering, and he couldn't help but see this scene that made him tremble! She...... She rushed in! Mo Chen was about to shout in a hurry, but he covered his mouth suddenly!
Sky! What is it? Genie? Monster? Or a fairy?
I thought that the girl would be burned and rolled all over the ground, but I didn't think that she was not only unscathed, but stood in the raging flames-
The girl floated quietly with her hands down, her eyes closed, and her long eyelashes spilling a few sparks from time to time. The cotton cloth that wrapped her hair and the clothes on her body were burned, but the flames wrapped her body like a big red garment!
Her fair-skinned face and limbs were gilded with a layer of dark gold in the firelight, and the halo flowed.
The long black hair danced wildly in the flames, and instead of being hideous, it had a striking beauty.
The original half-meter-high fire has expanded to a two-meter range at this time, and the flames are soaring into the sky-
The trees next to it were burned to the sound of peeling at each other. Mo Chen, who was five or six meters away, could feel the blazing heat.
Suddenly, the girl opened her eyes, and her pupils were bright red......
β¦β¦
Zuo Di stared at the flames wrapped around his body in surprise, O! MοΌ GοΌ This is the legendary Fire Maiden? She was dumbfounded.
I was burned by the fire just now, and I thought I was really hanging up this time. Suddenly! The suffocating sensations were gone. Only warmth and comfort remained......
It's like lying on the softest bed, the warm breeze blows, and the whole person seems to be about to fly, which makes people so addicted that they don't want to wake up.
"Haha! It's done! Hongguo'er's elated voice woke up Zuodi's YY.
"Tsk, it seems that you don't have a good temper, and it is the fire element that accepts you! This is the most domineering of the basic elements! I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for you to grasp it! Having said that, the unconcealed excitement in his tone was palpable.
Zuo Di is also excited, but she now faces a bigger problem...... Her clothes are all burned, and people are still floating in the flames, let alone going home, but if you dare to pass by someone, there will be several versions of the fairy story tomorrow!
"I said don't ...... you yet," she was interrupted as soon as she spoke.
"Don't talk, someone!" Hong Guo'er's voice was cold, and she suddenly relaxed: "Oh! It turned out to be the kid just now! Hey, his secrets and body have been seen by him, what to do with them? Kill somebody to do away with a witness? Or do you want to ask the family to find someone to propose? β
Probably because the other party is too small, there is no threat to Hongguo'er at all, and it has a hippie smile.
Zuodi frowned, ignoring its jokes. It's really a little difficult to do, and he sees all his eccentricities, in case it's an open-mouthed ...... Although there is no evidence, the cheap dad is on the cusp, and a straw can crush him. But...... After I came to this place, I only knew such a friend-like existence, and ...... He's an orphan just like himself!
Forget it, this kid must have stayed because he was worried about his safety! It's not that he can't get bloody, but in the face of such a child, Zuo Di asked himself if he could kill people and kill his mouth, let's take one step at a time. Besides, with his age and situation, even if he says it, it is estimated that no one will believe it, right?
"Leave him alone, I'm not so mad about the kids. Let's solve my current problem first! Left drip said.
Hongguo'er: "Then don't regret it! Clothes are not a problem! The kid ran away, and before he ran, he took off his coat and threw it on the ground. As for this fire...... When it's burned, it's definitely gone! β
Zuo Di Qi Knot: "Didn't I master the fire element?" You're telling me how to control the fire! I'm still floating in the fire, is this fuel grass or me! β
Hongguo'er laughed: "Are you still controlling the fire?" Kill me! You're just accepted by the fire element, and if you want to control the fire, it's not ten or eight years, it's no fun! β
β¦β¦ It's been a long time, but I just got the secret! Zuo Di's heart was half cold. Suddenly, without warning, the fire went out. She fell to the ground with a thud and fell to the ground. The red fruit is even more enjoyable.
The fire was extinguished quickly, not even excessively, and it was clearly beyond the scope of science. Only the burnt blackened surroundings reminded her that this was real, not hallucination. There have been too many bizarre things, Zuo Di is too lazy to investigate, she rubbed her nose with her teeth, walked over and put on the long shirt left by Mo Chen, there is still a young man's body temperature on the long shirt, Zuo Di's heart is warm, this is a strong and warm child!
Next, she followed the subordinates who went out to buy in the Taifu Mansion and slipped back to the mansion without danger. When I went back to the bedroom, I saw that Mama Wang was still "sweetly" asleep. Zuo Di cleaned his hands and face, changed his clothes, gathered up Mo Chen's robe, and skillfully stuffed it back under the bed. That's when she woke her up.
is still the same review of mistakes, Zuo Di didn't care, only said that he was tired and wanted to sleep for a while, and asked Mama Wang to retreat to the outer room. Mama Wang, who was full of doubts, saluted and went out uneasily, thinking that she must find a doctor to take a look, isn't she sick? This is not to be said later.
It's false to say that he is not excited, Zuo Di only feels that he has become a superhuman! Don't rely on post-production special effects to float in the fire, it's exciting to think about! Zuo Di and Hongguoer began to discuss today's harvest.
Zuo Di: "What will I do now?" β
Hongguo'er: "The fire can't burn to death." β
Left drop: "......"
Zuo Di: "What about the others?" Fireball? Fire escape? β¦β¦ Or it can lead a fire! β
Hongguo'er: "Hehe." β
Zuo Di felt full of malice...... didn't apprehension her too much, but Hongguoer still gave her a detailed explanation.
According to Hongguo'er: its family, the clansman has a chance to have a talent after birth - that is, the recognition of the five basic elements, and more than two talents are innate pride. Hongguo'er's family has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and such a congenital pride is only a few fingers. Those who have no talent or want to get more talent will wait until they are a little older to actively engage with elemental power like Zuodi. If there are more than two after the test, it is an acquired child. A single element like Zuo Di recognizes - that is, ordinary people. It is also known as cannon fodder, miscellaneous, spare tire, substitute and so on......
"What about you? How many talents do you have? Zuo Di interrupted curiously.
Hongguo'er was silent for a long time, so long that Zuodi thought that it would not answer, and then spoke: "...... Five. β
Five? Zuo Di suspects that he heard it wrong? If two or more talents are proud, then what kind of existence is Hongguoer? Against God! The most terrifying thing is that such an anti-heaven existence was beaten and only escaped one piece! It took his life to be imprisoned in the Phantom Orb......
As if knowing what she was thinking, Hong Guo'er said, "I will become like this because I have five talents...... Don't ask why, I won't say it's useless for you to listen! The tone changed, no longer the heaviness of Shicai, it gritted its teeth: "So I have to go back, and get back the field I lost!" β
Zuo Di slapped the table: "Yes! You can say that again! If you lose the field, you have to get it back! Then he was discouraged: "I'm afraid I can't find my yard back, even if the yellow mouse is not killed by Li Qiao, I'm afraid it will be in the game." β
Hong Guo'er didn't comfort her, but changed the subject: "Do you still want to learn things?" Although there is no mantra you want, there is still a mantra! At most, you have a talent now, but it's useless, and you don't have any means! β
I don't know if it's an illusion, Zuo Di always felt that Hongguo'er's tone was a little empty, she didn't think deeply, and her attention was attracted by the word heart. Right! Fiction is not a lie! Sure enough, there is this kind of Dongdong that destroys the three views! "Quick! Fast! Teach me! Do you need to take a piece of paper and write it down? She was eager to give it a try.
"You're so low! Close your eyes and feel for yourself! Hongguo'er scoffed.
Zuodi closed his eyes, and suddenly something very strange came to his mind. If you say it's words, you can't read or write, if you say it's a shape, you can't see the shape, but your body can feel what to do! It's so fucking magical!
"There is no source of energy in this world, but this phantom bead can derive a piece of my remaining body into the complete consciousness, and it should have some relationship with my world." Hongguo'er's voice on weekdays was indescribably solemn at this time: "The heart method can only be understood and not spoken, and it is best to let the magic bead stick to you when you cultivate the heart method...... Let's just eat it, so you can't throw it away! β
Solemn or something, it's really an illusion! Zuo Di opened his eyes and took out the magic bead hairpin from under the pillow. The red beads that exude a glow don't look like they're easy to digest! It didn't take much effort for her to pull the phantom bead off the hairpin, and with a twist of heart, she threw it into her mouth and swallowed it!
