Even in the Earth Federation, the profession of "craftsman" has long disappeared for thousands of years. "Bamboo" is actually a treasure, in addition to bamboo shoots can be edible, bamboo can be used as papermaking raw materials, building materials, baskets, rotten roots in the hands of craftsmen can also become "root carving" handicrafts.

Liu Ci has "Qi Min Yao Shu New Edition" in hand, it is useless, the wooden barrel is all hollowed out from the diameter of a century-old tree, but the bamboo barrel needs bamboo splicing, how to make that thing not leak is a very technical problem for her.

Uncle Sam is sad to death, and the Magic Continent has no habit of using bamboo. He would have done it with wooden barrels, but he would have to use nails and wire rings, all made of bamboo?

The silent Arnold pondered for two days and made a "bucket" fixed with bamboo nails, Liu Ci patted his head, remembering that he had watched an old Chinese movie before the new era when he was a child, the bamboo was split into strips, and then divided into two layers, and the blue layer on the outside was roasted with fire, which was tough and soft, and it was not a wire loop that could replace the hoop barrel?

Only took the part near the roots of the old bamboo, and after sweeping the bamboo forest, Liu Ci also got more than 20 large bamboo buckets. Wine is best stored in oak, and in order to get the wine into the lotus pond space, she chose bamboo barrels instead. She only filled one barrel of soju made from corn, and the rest was all the mountain wine accumulated over the years, and the mellow and spicy grain wine was the favorite of the wolf god, and Liu Ci had no intention of taking it away.

The wild boar that had been raised earlier had been killed to feast on the beasts, and cows, deer, goats, chickens and rabbits were left in the livestock pen.

Chickens lay eggs, rabbits grow very fast, and they can raise a litter in two or three months. As the days passed, the wind and snow became less and less, and gradually it became clearer, and the thickness of the snow layer on the ground did not increase, and Liu Ci knew that it was not far from the time when the snow melted.

Sweet potatoes and yams, corn. Soybeans and other things, the wine accumulated over the years, were all transferred by Liu Ci into the lotus pond space.

The growing season of wheat in the field is shortened, the ears of wheat are seen in winter, and the last wheat harvest is the day of departure.

Every sunny day, the smiles on Lydia's faces are always a little sincere, the temperature is getting warmer, and they really spend the winter safely in the Morok Mountains! Although it was just as dangerous to get out of the mountains, there was hope in Lydia's hearts.

Contrary to the joy of the adventure team, Liu Ci's mood was heavy.

When it was no longer snowing, Liu Ci asked Arnold and Sam to kill all the livestock except the chickens.

Pieces of cured meat are hung on the branches of the thousand-year-old tree, and the meat cut into small pieces is all marinated with spices and salt, some of which are five spices and some of which are spicy. The honest Uncle Sam worked hard, but Arnold, who was thick on the outside and fine on the inside, was guessing the reason why Liu Ci killed all the livestock.

The snow was not warm enough, and the beef and mutton, which had been dried out of blood, were finally placed on a large stone slab, and a small fire was burning day and night underneath.

It is not easy to get out of the Moroch Mountains, and the female captain Lydia was inspired to learn from Liu Ci and start making jerky.

Under the sharpening of using women as men and men as livestock with "Liu Peel", Lydia, who can only use a sword, has made a qualitative leap in her cooking skills, and it seems that she can make jerky, Arnold and Uncle Sam hunted two deer, and several people painted gourds in the same way, and after Liu Ci's jerky was "harvested", the adventure team also stored a lot of dry goods.

Liu Ci's dullness had nowhere to vent, and there were still many fine bamboos left after making bamboo buckets, so she chose a section and made a hole flute.

The tuning is more pitched, the sound of the flute is intermittent and whimpering, and in the dead of night, even the thick-nerved Lydia can detect Liu Ci's mood fluctuations in the sound of the flute.

The Silver Wolf King is haunted, and there is less time to come to the stone house.

One day, Liu Ci noticed that the green willows transplanted by the pond behind the house had bloomed new shoots, and she suddenly realized that the snow covering the Moloch Mountains for the whole winter had almost melted!

The wheat field in front of the house is golden, and there is still snow left in the roots that has not completely melted, and the gold and white are wrong, which is a strange scene that Lydia has never seen.

"Before you go, you must help me harvest this wheat."

Liu Ci put away the fiddling flute and made a final request to Lydia.

Spring is quietly coming, the female captain wants to talk for several days in a row, Liu Ci is not unseen, the adventure team does not know how to say goodbye, Liu Ci is really happy.

A few acres of wheat fields, Arnold and Uncle Sam harvested in less than a day, and on the night of threshing and returning to the warehouse, the "miser" Liu Ci not only invited them to a big meal, but also had corn and soju on the table.

After the strong drink, Uncle Sam praised Liu Ci with a big tongue as a good girl.

There are very few adventurers who beg for a living in the Moroch Mountains who are not alcoholics, except for George, the thin-skinned magician with poor health, and even the blonde captain Lydia has a good amount of alcohol.

Arnold, who was a man of few words, poured wine no different from drinking water.

Liu Ci drank very openly, and his swordsmanship made Arnold and Lydia look up, and the burly man actually admired Liu Ci, drank together, and got along for almost two months, and the sense of alienation was diluted by the spirits.

Little George burped and blushed:

"What kind of instrument are you playing at night, it's so nice."

Liu Ci took out the hole flute.

"You say this?"

George nodded.

In the pursuit of strength in the Magic Continent, music is the leisure pastime of the aristocracy, George has seen the aristocratic ladies play the flute in the Academy of Magic, which is a bit similar to the hole flute, but the timbre of the horizontal and vertical fingering is very different.

"It's called Xiao, it's me...... Musical instruments from home. ”

I got along with the adventure team for two months, not to mention Liu Ci's origin, I didn't even dare to ask her name, I kept "you" coming and "you", this is the first time Liu Ci mentioned "hometown" in front of several people.

Seeing that Uncle Sam's face was red, Liu Ci brushed the hole flute with his hand and smiled, "There is a legend in my hometown that once upon a time, there was a luthier named Boya who played the piano in the barren mountains and wilderness. Later, when the child died, Bo lost his voice due to toothache, and broke the piano in front of his grave, and never touched the piano for the rest of his life. There is a song called "Mountains and Flowing Water" to metaphorize the feelings of bosom friends. ”

The four of Lydia were all from civilian backgrounds and did not know much about musical instruments, and the "qin" mentioned in Liu Ci's speech, George thought it was a "harp".

The confidant is dead, and the piano is not played, which is advocated by the ancient Chinese people, and Lydia and the others can't understand it.

Liu Ci also knew this, but she didn't say these words for the adventure team to hear.

Putting one end of the hole flute to his mouth, Liu Ci replaced the piano with the flute and played the "Alpine Flowing Water Song" that has been passed down for thousands of years.

The sound of the flute is not as pleasant as the sound of the qin, but it is more penetrating than the sound of the qin in the quiet forest under the moon. The notes pass through the willows that have just bloomed, and the person who blows the flute has a mountain in his heart, and the one who listens to the flute is far away from the top of the crystal mine.

The same tune, played by different people, stretches their minds differently.

Among the Xiao Yin, there is Liu Ci who yearns for the wonderful scenery of the other world, and there is also Liu Ci who is attached to the comfortable days of the crystal mine in the Moloch Mountains.

Tens of millions of people in the world, seeking a close friend, she is already very satisfied!

The sound of the flute gradually died down, and the four of Lydia listened to the song "Mountains and Flowing Water" and couldn't understand the taste, and after the night, they dispersed in the moonlight.

The red-haired Jeff, who stayed at the camp, had a gloomy face, and when he saw Lydia and the others returning, he immediately changed his smile.

"Captain, are we going to leave tomorrow?"

Lydia nodded subconsciously, but Arnold was thoughtful.

- Did Lydia have the idea of bringing Jeff back to the team? That's not a good idea.

…………

After a night's rest, the sky was bright, and Lydia and Arnold went together to bid farewell to Liu Ci.

Liu Ci looked leisurely, boiled a pot of apricot milk tea and drank it alone under the tree.

Lydia's face was solemn: "Your help to us has enabled the team to survive the winter in the Moroch Mountains safely, Lydia. Hera will surely remember this friendship. ”

Liu Ci put down the bamboo cup, and his eyes rolled, "Do you want to say that there will be heavy thanks in the future?" ”

Lydia was stunned, and then turned red, Liu Ci's origin is a mystery, and his strength is also unfathomable, if it is not a coincidence, the adventure team will not be able to go to the depths of the mountain range, she just wants to thank Liu Ci for her "help" in the future, but she may not have a chance.

The young magician clenched his fists, "Even if Sister Lydia is not capable enough, I will work hard to learn magic, and the Hera family will not forget your generosity." ”

Liu Ci smiled, the guarantee of a two-star magician does not weigh much, but an ambitious teenager is always annoying.

"You're thinking too much, but I just want to ask if you can ...... with the team Out of the mountains together? ”

The "bomb" thrown by Liu Ci blew up Lydia and the four people were stunned.

A powerful Great Sword Master wants to go out of the mountain range with them?! Without the old guide Sam's reminder, the young George understands that the safety of the team has been strongly guaranteed.

But Liu Ci didn't show any intention of going out of the mountain together.

Arnold was quite calm, and after thinking about it carefully, Liu Ci had recently slaughtered all the livestock he raised and made them into jerky, which was indeed not quite right.

"What, isn't this request too embarrassing for everyone?"

Lydia shook her head, and went out of the mountain with Liu Ci, which was only good for them, but she always felt a lingering weirdness.

Liu Ci said to himself, "I have already packed up, and I can leave at any time." ”

One large and one small two animal skin pockets, one for a change of clothes, the other for cinnabar, salt and other sundries, and other things were all stored by Liu Ci in the lotus pond space, and the white jade slabs were stacked full. Liu Ci didn't lie, she could set off with Lydia and the four of them with the giant sword.

The morning sun broke through the dense fog in the mountains and illuminated the vicinity of the stone house.

On the flat windowsill lay branches of wicker.

Folding willows to say goodbye, the silver wolf who was familiar with the customs of Liu Ci's hometown did not appear from beginning to end.

But some friendships are unspoken.

This is true for Liu Ci, and it is also true for Silver Wolf.
