Chapter 058: Flashing Scales II
In the early morning of the next day, Jiao Ming, who had finished breakfast, was grabbed by Binglian and Xia Feng, and taken to that remote practice room for some training as a magic warrior. Of course, Jiao Ming, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, chose to fight back, but all the counterattacks were easily dodged by Xia Feng, and Jiao Ming shouted that it was unfair.
"The magic warriors of our crocodile collar have been cultivated since childhood, and they are sparring partners with each other, and it is indeed a bit troublesome for an adult like you to start cultivating halfway. Binglian responded to Jiao Ming's complaint while resting.
"How is that old man?" Jiao Ming also rushed to the doctor when he was sick, and he couldn't care about the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young.
"You're going to shoot him. Binglian said amazingly, and then explained: "Don't look at the intensity of the summer breeze, in fact, it is all about strength." ”
Jiao Ming, who couldn't do anything, finally came up with a solution: "Can I keep accounts? ”
"I'm so sorry you came up with this idea, I let you know. Binglian agreed with a smile. In this way, Jiao Ming began to carve the word 'Zheng' on the wall, recording his cultivation journey full of suffering.
In the next math class, Jiao Ming began to talk about multiplication, looking at the stunned expression of the scales, he held back a smile in his heart, and the expressions of the scales seemed to be silently complaining about how there could be such a perverted calculation law in the world. And Heishi, who only learned his name yesterday, nodded with bright eyes and quickly accepted it. Lilmoller, a precocious little girl, still has a calm expression and an aristocratic smile, and she can't see her attitude towards multiplication at all, but Jiao Ming feels that if a multiplication paper is published now, she is the only one who can get a full score.
As for Xiao Shi, she was looking out the window in a daze, and it was obvious that these things that she had studied for a long time did not attract her interest. Jiao Ming would let go of Xiao Shi's slipping behavior, and immediately called her to the front desk and asked her to write the Xiao Jiujiu multiplication table on the blackboard.
At the end of the class, Jiao Ming ended with tomorrow's exam notice, patted the blackboard and added: "This multiplication table will account for half of the score." Then, as expected, the wails of the scales were heard.
......
After lunch, Jiao Ming took the old door board to the river beach to choose a site for the new house, the old door board has been cutting grass in this place for decades, and should be quite familiar with the terrain here. The two rode oxen along the junction of the riverbank wasteland and the crop fields to the north, fast and slow along the way, and the old door board pointed out a small high ground from time to time, Jiao Ming was not very satisfied with it, but secretly remembered it in his heart as an alternative.
In the end, Jiao Ming saw a small plateau on the opposite side of the river beach, nearly five meters above the ground, and there were some bare rocks on the slope, presumably not afraid of submerging or collapsing by the river when the river was rising.
"How do I get there?" Jiao Ming asked, pointing to the small plateau on the other side of the river.
The old door panel craned his neck and looked at it and replied: "When the water is shallow, there are several places where you can wade through the river, and when the water is deep, you can only take a detour to cross the river by the stone bridge south of the castle." ”
"Is this river freezing in winter?"
"Naturally, it is frozen, but the freeze is not tight, and in these years, there are often new coolies who do not listen to the advice of the small, and cross the river to harvest the grass in winter, and then step on the ice and fall into the water. Those who were washed away were still quite happy, and those who climbed up by themselves couldn't escape a serious illness, and nine out of nine died before they could survive the beginning of spring. The old door panel told me that such an experienced old man could really provide quite a lot of information. "But don't worry at all, my lord, a few years ago, my lord took his men down to the river to bathe in the winter, and when he came back, he didn't even sneeze. ”
Jiao Ming's understanding of the Crocodile Collar Magic Warriors is deepening day by day, and it is true that a cold shower can't take these monsters. "How snowy is it this winter?"
"Ankle-crossing is a common thing, and the little one has had a knee snow when he first arrived, and a large number of coolies in the castle froze to death that year, and the next year the little one became a steward of the barn. ”
Jiao Ming glanced at the little short legs of the old door panel, and roughly estimated. The two had a wordless question, and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain, Jiao Ming compared several small highlands in his memory, pulled out the big ones in the stalks, and finally selected a location closer to the northern mountains.
The location of the new house was set, and the two turned to the cement kiln, and when they arrived, the group of people had just started construction. In Xiao Shi's eager gaze, Jiao Ming handed the hammer to Xiao Shi, and ordered the hammer to listen to Xiao Shi's arrangement, but he didn't know how much the hammer could understand such a more complicated order. In a blink of an eye, I no longer worry about it, these ploughing cattle are all tame, and they are easy to play with.
The old door board also joined the team of morning glory, and the figure disappeared on the way into the mountain. Jiao Ming commanded a few coolies assigned to him yesterday to continue to build the warehouse, first expanding the area of the hardened ground to a size of four meters by three meters, and then starting the masonry of the outer wall along the edge, leaving doors in front and back, and windows on the left and right.
The cement kiln was opened again, and the three little ones who strengthened the burning of firewood seemed to be more proficient, and after only adding firewood once, the ice lotus began to cast a spell. This is followed by waiting for the temperature to cool, removing the cement and residual stones, and feeding the material again. During this period, Jiao Ming pointed out the crack in the top of the outer wall of the furnace to Binglian and reminded her to pay attention to the situation on the external wall, and Binglian replied, "I will be careful."
The whole construction site began to operate in a cycle, only Jiao Ming was an idler, lying on his back on the grass but sleepy due to the noisy environment, and finally he was bored and had to enter a state of communicating with the qi magic medium. Although I don't know how to continue cultivating, or how the sages of Saint Kosong's generation explored it at the beginning, after more communication, I will have some ideas for moving forward.
But it backfired, until he was dizzy, nauseous and wanted to vomit, Jiao Ming was not inspired by Mao, and he reluctantly withdrew from the state of communicating with the demon medium, and closed his eyes and rested. I don't know how long it took to wake up half-asleep, Jiao Ming was woken up by the childish Lolita voice of the three little girls, but when he opened his eyes, he was startled, a huge one-horned fairy beetle was in front of him, and the hook that was picked up was almost on his nose.
The sound of Shining Scales laughing sounded, and it was obvious that Jiao Ming's frightened appearance was exactly what Shining Scales expected. Jiao Ming's face darkened, but looking at the innocent appearance of the three little Lori, he couldn't get angry: "You three little girls don't move stones well, how can you have time to catch insects." Especially ...... you" Jiao Ming pointed at the flashing scales and said, "If you enter the losers' group today, I will give you a special set of calculation problems." ”
Shining Scales didn't look scared at all: "With my little calf cow help, I won't lose at all! Hahaha~"
Jiao Ming smiled secretly in his heart, obviously Shining Scale's understanding of the earth's teaching methods was too superficial, and he would not break it at this time, and at the same time looked forward to Shining Scale's future face-changing performance.
Flashing Scales grabbed Jiao Ming's right hand and put the palm-sized unicorn fairy in his palm, Jiao Ming subconsciously withdrew his hand, but was easily clamped by Shining Scales.
"What do you want to do for me?"
"Uncle, you can't be afraid of it, are you?"
"It's just that I don't like these things. Jiao Ming put the unicorn fairy on his lap, grabbed its back armor with his backhand, and observed it left and right in front of his eyes, and concluded that it was no different from the one on the earth except that it was larger, and it was even more monotonous than its counterparts on the earth in terms of color.
"Magical experiments. Xiao Shi explained at this time: "Try to see if this insect can become obedient." ”
Jiao Ming's gaze swept over the faces of the three little girls, and he guessed the approximate reason, Xiao Shi frowned in embarrassment, Lilmoller was just curious, and Flashing Scales was an expression with bright eyes and anticipation.
"She likes this, so she can use her?" Jiao Ming pointed to the shining scales.
"Scales' mental power hasn't recovered well. Xiao Shi replied, it seemed that it was a little uninteresting to treat Jiao Ming like this, and looked at Jiao Ming with complicated eyes. It's like a child who knows that his father is busy, but still asks to accompany him to the playground, and he is both looking forward to it and preparing to be rejected.
"Okay, okay! Jiao Ming lay back on the grass and closed his eyes. A few minutes later, Jiao Ming regretted it, 'poof', as if a plastic bubble wrap had been pressed, and Jiao Ming's head began to tear and hurt, several times more painful than when Xiao Shi failed for the first time a few days ago.
When I opened my eyes, the unicorn fairy in my hand was also strong, the small head had been completely blown up, an open fracture at the front of the insect body, and six legs underneath. The closest Shining Scale's face was full of green juice, and the broken corners were inserted in the hair next to her ears, looking stunned, and the explosion of the worm head should have caused her a certain psychological impact.
Jiao Ming pressed his forehead with his right hand, and all his painful facial features were gathered together, but he endured it and didn't hum half a sound. Xiao Shi naturally knew the side effects of his magic failure, and immediately started to calm down his mental power as he did every night.
The pain quickly subsided, and Jiao Ming let go of the hand holding his forehead, finding that his palms had been soaked with sweat. Lilmele wiped the sweat from Jiao Ming's forehead with his sleeve, and then scooped out a scoop of water from the wooden barrel by the yellow mud pit and handed it to Jiao Ming's mouth.
Jiao Ming took a few sips, it was clear and slightly sweet, and the pain seemed to be reduced a little. Flashing scales also felt that something should be done at this time, and Lilmolle also used his sleeve to wipe the sweat on Jiao Ming's forehead, but his hand was too strong, and Jiao Ming leaned straight up his neck.
This side of the matter quickly attracted Binglian's attention, after all, it was rare for the three little girls to revolve around Jiao Ming, and the expression of Flashing Scales that had done something bad made Binglian even more concerned.
"What are you guys making trouble again?" Bing Lian walked over to check the situation, and then Jiao Ming exclaimed, "Why did you become like this again?"
"As you say, magic experiments didn't go well. Jiao Ming smiled awkwardly and explained, as if it was because of his own mistakes that led to the failure of the magic experiment, obviously because he didn't want Binglian to blame Xiao Shi.
Binglian's eyes glanced at the four of them, and she didn't know how much she had seen, and finally she just smiled and comforted Jiao Ming, and said that she could give Jiao Ming a half-day off tomorrow morning, so that he could sleep and recover from his abnormal state of soul.
