Jiao Na also learned from Qi Xiaoting's appearance, changed into a scholarly robe, pulled her hair up in a bun, and hugged it with a square turban, not to mention, she really had a bit of a scholarly spirit.

"Do you really see things out there through her eyes?" After sending Jiao Na out, Qi Xiaoting asked Long Yi curiously.

Long Yi looked at the place where Jiao Na went out, nodded and said, "What she can see with her eyes, I can see too." ”

"Can you put your thoughts on me?" Qi Xiaoting asked uneasily.

Qi Xiaoting is a woman after all, and she knows that girls have girls, and she is a little reluctant to let people know. Being caught up by a man is really inappropriate for a long time.

Long Yi is a male, and he is the incarnation of a divine beast, so he takes this very lightly. But she must protect women's rights, including herself, even though he is her fiancé.

Another is that she didn't see clearly how Long Yi could take the divine thought, if she could catch it silently, wouldn't she be able to deal with anyone. If he didn't say it today, Qi Xiaoting would never have thought of this.

Long Yi shook his head: "You can't. You are a mortal, and you will not be able to stand the divine thoughts of the divine beast, and it can shorten your lifespan. You can feel it when you read it, especially when you transmit the sound, the other party has to answer it attentively. Therefore, it is necessary to inform in advance. ”

I see!

Qi Xiaoting smiled reassuringly: "If Jiao Na agrees, I will go out with Jiao Na, and you will have a trace of Shen on Jiao Na, then, wouldn't it be the three of us walking together!" Doing things together? ”

Long Yi smiled bitterly: "I'm embarrassed to say that you are so careful." In this way, after the search of Lifu, you catch a little demon beast and raise it, tame it, and I put a trace of divine thought on it, so that I can see the outside clearly, and I can also transmit the sound to you. ”

Qi Xiaoting felt a pang in her heart: I don't know how scared I am when I see a monster, how can I catch it? Remembering the embarrassing remarks just now, he asked, "With the little demon beast, can you see all my activities?" ”

Ryuichi: "When you don't want me to see it, you can blindfold the demon beast's eyes, as long as it can't see, I can't see it." ”

As he was talking, Long Yi suddenly became alert, and after a few breaths, he said to Qi Xiaoting: "There is really your wanted notice on the street, with your portrait painted on it and your name written on it. and indicate: Those who send a letter to Lifu after seeing it will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver; and whoever catches it shall be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. And it's not posted in one place. Jiaona is walking towards the village! ”

"Looks like I'm worth a lot of money!" Qi Xiaoting humored herself with self-deprecation.

"Oh, no," Ryuichi cried, "Jiaona tore off one." ”

Qi Xiaoting frowned: "Is there anyone around?" ”

Ryuichi: "Not close. Jiaona didn't look far away, and neither could I. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Hurry up and call her back!" Don't get in trouble! ”

After a while, Long Yi asked Qi Xiaoting to go out and brought Jiao Na back.

"It's amazing, there are notices posted everywhere in the village." As soon as she entered the space, Jiao Na said in a hurry, and handed Qi Xiaoting a crumpled ball of paper: "I tore one up, you see, it also says reward mile, the price is expensive." ”

Long Yi smiled and said, "Your master has become a cargo." ”

Jiaona: "Anyway, it's not what I said when people marked the price." It seems that tomorrow we will only have to stay in the space. ”

Qi Xiaoting didn't want to look at it, threw the notice away, and said, "Then I'll go out, it's just dark now, let's go forward." After saying that, he walked out of the space.

It was completely dark outside. All around him was the dark night and tall corn plants one after the other.

Without Jiaona by her side, Qi Xiaoting relaxed a lot. Follow the field path to the east.

In the summer fields, the night is very quiet, except for the occasional croaking of frogs and the "buzzing" of mosquitoes overhead, no other sound can be heard.

But it was also very stuffy, and after a while, Qi Xiaoting was sweating profusely.

In the middle of the night, Qi Xiaoting felt a little tired. Seeing that there was a ditch on the side of the road, I first went to the edge of the ditch to wipe my sweaty body, and then pulled some dry grass in the cornfield and spread it under my body~, wanting to sleep beautifully.

When she was quiet in the cornfield and ready to fall asleep, swarms of mosquitoes surrounded her, "buzzing" like an airplane, and falling one after another on her head, face, and arms, and before her body could be stopped, the needle-like straws (mouthparts) had been pierced into the flesh.

Qi Xiaoting had no choice but to leave, and chose a high~ post that had no plants, wanting to use the wind to drive away the mosquitoes.

However, there was no wind tonight, and the mosquitoes seemed to recognize her delicious meal, and wherever she went, they "buzzed" to chase after her. As soon as you stop, pounce on it and ding.

Qi Xiaoting pulled some grass again, wanted to cover her legs and feet, and wrapped her scholarly robe tightly so that she could deal with it all night.

Unexpectedly, there were rice sheep (biting ants) in the grass, and the legs were hot and painful.

There was no way, in order to avoid mosquitoes, Qi Xiaoting had to continue on the road. If you want to find an abandoned shack or garden house or something, light a fire to smoke and run away mosquitoes, and you can be less bitten.

Grandma Wen's house smoked mosquitoes with artemisia grass, and lit an artemisia grass rope at the door of the house in the evening, and there were no mosquitoes in the house all night.

The effort pays off. In the middle of the night, she finally met an unoccupied garden house on the top of a fruit grove. It is very small, only three square meters, and it seems that it is used by fruit farmers to look at fruit forests. At this time, the fruit on the tree was green and astringent, and it did not need to be cared for, so it was discarded.

The garden house is made of adobe, and there is a doorway in Chongnan, but there is no door, and the ground is full of scattered firewood and grass, which seems to be paved on the ground.

Qi Xiaoting was sleepy and tired, and she couldn't take care of it anymore. I had to divide the firewood and grass into two halves, half of which was spread on the ground and half was used to light the smoked mosquitoes.

However, it was only then that she learned that there were no lighters and matches in this world.

When I was at Grandma Wen's house, I used a fire sickle and flint to make a fire.

In addition to the fire sickle and flint, there must also be a fire king, a fire basket, and a fire tube, which are all necessary tools.

The fire sickle was made of steel by a blacksmith. Grandma Wen's family was poor, so Grandpa Wen used waste pot iron or ploughshare iron to polish it himself (of course, it was still a craftsman who made it well). The fire sickle that Qi Xiaoting has seen is generally about five or six centimeters long, about two centimeters thick, narrow at both ends and wide in the middle, about one centimeter at the small head, and about three centimeters in the middle. The entire cutting edge is slightly curved.

Flint is a stone material used to "fire" when making fire, as for the name and chemical composition of this stone, Qi Xiaoting can't say clearly, the people of Lijiatun Village call it Gangou, and some say that it is quartz. It looks similar in appearance to jade, usually light gray or brown, but also white. It has a distinct shell-like fracture that can produce sparks when hit or rubbed with an iron object.

The Fire King is a stripped pole - the top section of the straw. The sparks from the scythe hitting the flint fell on the tappet and ignited by blowing with your mouth.

The fire basket is a paper roll made of wool paper or burning paper, which is generally as thick as a finger, and is used as a fire king to change from dark fire to open fire. When necessary, light the fire of the Fire King's dark fire, and blow it with your mouth, and then the open flame will come out. At this time, you can light firewood and grass for cooking.

The fire canister is not a fire-making tool, but is used to hold the fire. It is made of a hollow bamboo, about 15 centimeters long, and the inner diameter of the index finger is thick, so it is advisable to fit the fire basket into it. The first is to prevent the fire from being damp and damaged; Second, it is convenient to insert the fire curtain into it, isolate the air, suffocate and preserve, and prevent people from being injured by fire.

When lighting a fire, first use the left hand to clamp the fire king (without fire), then pinch the flint with the index finger of the mother finger, and pinch the fire sickle with the right hand to rub the flint hard.

You have to rub it several times each time, and when the sparks splash down on the Fire King, you puff up your cheeks and blow lightly, and the sparks will turn into dark red fire. It can be used to light a cigarette at this time.

If you make a fire for cooking or light a lamp, you put the king of fire on the fire and light it, and then blow the fire to turn the dark fire into an open flame, thus igniting the firewood and grass.

Most people also specially sew a palm-sized small cloth bag, called a "cigarette purse", in addition to holding cigarettes, they also contain fire sickles, flints and fire kings, and carry them with them so that they can take fire and smoke when they go out.

I have lived in Lijiatun Village for a year, and I am very familiar with the fire sickle and flint. But at this time, there are no utensils, only to think.

Sadly, there is no space either. Every time he used fire, it was Long Yi who lit it with fire. I'm so embarrassed that I can't call Long Yi out and light the broken wood and grass to smoke mosquitoes!

What to do?

The only way is to practice the fire art by yourself and serve yourself.

Qi Xiaoting calmed down and searched in her mind for the aura that the Dragon King Ao Guang had entered. Fortunately, it took a long time to finally find it. When I opened it with my heart, it was a sword finger figure and a few spells.

Say practice and practice!

Qi Xiaoting recited the mantra silently, and after reciting it, the index finger and middle finger of her right hand were put together to form a sword finger, pointing to the blades of dry grass on the ground, and then reciting the incantation silently.

However, the sky above the sword finger was empty, and there was no reaction.

What's going on?

Think about it, fire is a spell, and you don't have any mana at all, even if you have a posture and a spell, you have to have a practice process.

Practice again!

After practicing more than a dozen times, sparks really appeared on the fingers of the sword. Although it was fleeting, it still gave Qi Xiaoting hope. The drill continued.

When practiced hundreds of times, the sparks formed a bean-sized fireball, but it only lasted for a second or two.

This fire and time were enough to ignite the dry firewood.

Qi Xiaoting was overjoyed, and immediately pointed her sword under the firewood and grass, and practiced again.

The firewood and grass were quickly ignited. Because the firewood and grass are relatively broken, all smoke is emitted. In a short time, the garden house was filled.

Fortunately, the smoke at low altitude is relatively thin, and it is not very choking after lying down. After walking in the middle of the night, it took a lot of effort to practice the flame technique, Qi Xiaoting was extremely tired, and soon fell asleep.

When I woke up at dawn and touched it, my body and face were full of big bags, and it was itchy and uncomfortable. - It turned out that after the smoke cleared, the mosquitoes flew in again. Qi Xiaoting in her sleep didn't know it.

"It's good now, no one will recognize you without makeup." Qi Xiaoting laughed at herself sadly and flashed into the space.
