Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Old Road is a Good Scenery

"Woo-" Mars jumped out of the quenching stone.

Shaoyi hurriedly put the dry sawdust up, and blew and fanned it hurriedly, until at last a small flame of billowing light smoke was stirred up by the wind......

This is the first time Shaoyi has lit a fire in the wild, and he has been eating it raw before. Usually, it is easy to see Goo Goo lighting a fire in the stove, but when it is his turn, it is far from the case.

One less tried and tried, wrong and wrong, now, this flame is not easy to get, and one less is also cared for. It wasn't until I saw that it was bigger and more stable that I was relieved.

He used a boning knife to carefully peel off the rabbit's skin little by little, and this rabbit was also caught by relying on the trap kung fu that he learned from Tian Erye.

The cold light of the boning knife reflected Shaoyi's clear eyes, which made him miss the people of Dayanhe Village. Memories are vivid in the middle of the night in this quiet wilderness:

"Shaoyi, you are going to apprentice, and you have nothing to take away, so bring this jar of daughter red prepared for my marriage. Shhhh ”

"Goo, you just marry like this, why do you let me learn art and spend it? If you continue like this, you really can't get married like the village chief said. ”

"I don't think I need to accumulate it until I get married, I need it more now, let's spend it now, and if you marry in the future, you can't talk about it, don't worry." ”

......

"Shaoyi, hurry up, sit!" Aunt Tian took the wine jar held by Shaoyi, and happily let Shaoyi into the house.

"Second Uncle Tian, I'm here. I have drunk this apprenticeship wine several times in my dreams. ”

If it weren't for the second master Tian mentioning it that day: "Boy, learn the seven-star sledgehammer with me." "Shaoyi, the guy who was rejected by He Xiangu and Grandpa Wan in the village, how can he take the initiative to ask Tian Er Ye to accept apprentices.

But as soon as he entered the living room, facing Tian Erye, who was scratching his ears and cheeks, he felt that the situation had changed.

Tian Er looked at it regretfully for half a day, and suddenly he slapped his thigh and said: "That's it, Tian Er, I always count when I speak, since there are rules in the village that you can't pass on your martial arts, and I, Tian Er, didn't know it in advance, so just take it today as compensation for not being able to apprentice, and I, Tian Er, will give your kid's family affairs! From now on, I will be the son-in-law of my Tian Er's family." ”

The second aunt was laughing in the inner room, the fat second girl was laughing in the inner room, and the young one was laughing awkwardly in the living room, and he didn't dare to say a word.

At this meal, I drank a big cup of Lao Baigan for the first time, and I only felt that in the future of this life, there were countless fat girls and two girls shaking heavily, and the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

Still well-informed, she broke into the banquet unceremoniously, and pulled up Shaoyi and left without saying anything, which can be regarded as saving Shaoyi's driving.

The previous apprentices in Dayanhe Village finally seem to have the same fate: at first, these capable people in the township are optimistic about Shaoyi's understanding, and they are busy as if they have picked up a baby, and they are desperately scrambling to exhaust their housekeeping skills to teach Shaoyi, and Shaoyi can't help but ask Gugu to operate spring fragrant mushrooms, summer cicadas, autumn fruits, and winter Ganoderma lucidum to prepare for apprenticeship.

However, whenever it was time to worship the master, the village chief would always come out to interfere, and these pre-level masters had to change their ways, from accepting apprentices to admitting Shaoyi as their godson, or they fell in love with Shaoyi and wanted to accept them as sons-in-law.

Although Shaoyi was prevaricated again and again, and although he did not understand the village chief's obstruction, he could still go door to door with a smile and a smile to fetch water and water the garden, tidy up the nursery, cultivate the fields, and help take care of the old and weak. The people in the village also like to call the easy-going Shaoyi to come to the house for dinner and mahjong, as for learning the arts, people have already understood and reached a consensus, that is: hands-free.

Thinking back to this, Shaoyi laughed out loud while nibbling on the charred rabbit meat, the dowry prepared by the village chief for his granddaughter Gugu, what brocade in the clouds, Ueno flower crown, Dongshan tiger skin, and Xishan ginseng have all been used as Shaoyi's apprenticeship and have been spent.

I consciously touched the golden brocade feather on my waist, and secretly decided in my heart: If you marry in the future, I will give you a city as compensation.

It's a pity that he hasn't developed the ability yet, so he can only use this boning knife with unlimited uses for limited self-defense, meat skewers, and barbs on the picker.

It's not that he hasn't learned any kung fu, some of the masters of Dayan River really secretly taught him some three-legged cat kung fu:

"This garden stinks. He Xiangu crossed her waist and muttered dissatisfiedly.

She is always commanding, cooing, the book says that this is called "having a posture" as the name suggests, and it is commonly known as "having a style".

"If you pour manure, you will inevitably stink. Shaoyi said with an embarrassed smile.

"Lan Caihe is unreliable at this point, and when I go back to my parents' house, I will make this acre of land stink. He Xiangu was still angry.

"I'll help you get the basket. Shaoyi stretched out his hand to help, and there was a white and tender baby lying in the basket in Sister He's hand.

"When I went back to my parents' house for confinement, my father and mother felt sorry for me as if they were something, and they didn't let me do anything, but they suffocated me. Now, in my own home, I'm much more liberated. One less, you help me coax the baby, and my sister will give you a performance of real angry steamed buns. ”

Sure enough, Shaoyi held the child in his arms and watched in amazement at how He Xiangu, who was usually weak, worked hard, how to easily knead a flag into the well water and flour, and how to launch a gratifying large dough, and finally burned a pot, three layers, a total of fifteen large steamed buns.

"Have you learned one less? Auntie's steamed bun kung fu is not passed on. He Xiangu wiped a handful of sweat, and suddenly remembered something, she said lightly: "Oh, Shaoyi, I remember, you just see that my work is also a white learning, because you were born with broken meridians and can't run your true qi." Oops! Why did you tell me to leak my mouth, didn't the whole village say that everyone would keep it a secret from you?! Damn, damn it. ”

Shaoyi stood in place, feeding the child with a milk gourd, and felt infinitely annoyed by the possibility that he was a waste of firewood.

......

Pinching his fingers, it has been ten days since he left Dayanhe Village. But how will we spend the long seventy-one days?

These days, Shaoyi clumsily went down to the river to touch the clams, painted the ground for a firm and circled the bamboo shoot field with wood, migrated a nest of beehives to get honey, and also ate a lot of unclean, poisonous and non-poisonous mountain mushrooms......

Many days went by hunger and hunger.

I thought that it would be nice if I could use a slingshot to shoot birds, kill chickens, and shoot eagles.

This way, one day less, the sunset, has been on the most primitive old road in the West Mountain, tirelessly uphill, downhill, uphill, and downhill......

At first, it was full of enthusiasm that supported Shaoyi to continue walking. Later, fatigue attenuated enthusiasm. One less is good for giving yourself chicken blood, setting up an imaginary enemy in your heart, claiming to be 'dissatisfied', and this act of going deep into the mountains is a test for yourself.

On this long trip, for some reason, he encountered the invader "Black", and thanks to Shanba Gong, he used the juice containing warm light to drive away the "Black" attacker. This made Shaoyi faintly feel the magic of warm light.

Therefore, during this trip, he also wanted to find more warm light, whether it was the accumulation of the leaves of the cedar forest, the pregnancy of the starfall, or the burst of people's hearts...... One less issue hopes to be able to pursue such a warm light.

With the changes in the foothills, Shaoyi can feel that he is unconsciously heading towards the commanding heights of the West Mountain-Lonely Mountain.

At first, he didn't encounter many obstacles, and he walked smoothly. He likes to walk along the gravel-laden banks of the river, so that he can take a break from the problem of water shortage.

After walking for a while, the change of scenery on both sides made Shaoyi almost forget that he had crossed the cedar forest in the cold region, for some reason, it was obviously all the way to the mountain, and it should be colder and colder the more he walked, but Shaoyi found that it was getting hotter and hotter now.

The climate here is capricious, and when you say that you will turn your face, you will turn your face, one will rain down, one will be steaming in the sun, one will be covered with plantains, and one will be full of yellow sand. Hyperactive, changeable, and often manic and frenzied, less than one thought, this mountain is not suffering from youth obsession, right?

The ground became damp and soft again, and the towering trees brought dampness and darkness to the sky, and he was surprised to find that he had unexpectedly broken into a tropical forest.

The ash is littered with giant spiders, man-eating lizards, and wingless ferocious birds and rattle-tailed seven-headed basilisks lurk in the forest.

In the vast dense forest that has not seen the light of day for dozens of days, Shaoyi's lungs are filled with the rotten and rotten smell of cannibal flowers.

With each step, one less shoe gets stuck in fat, perennial humus and struggles to extricate itself.

There were a few moments when the strange environment even led to Shaoyi's hallucinations, one moment he was so distressed that life was worse than death, one moment he was drunk to the point of confusion, and another time he was sleepwalking in the same place repeatedly......

In his hallucinations, he began to call the blood-red wild lilies and the golden salamanders brothers, and after a while, he slashed and killed the sheep's teeth and palms as enemies.

Later, with experience, every time he hallucinated, Shaoyi deliberately jumped into the trap of the rattan, so that the rattan automatically tightened and tied himself to prevent his own madness. When he came to his senses in the morning, he laboriously pulled out the boning knife from his chest and cut the rattan.

In this way, day by day, he walked non-stop out of the forest, and Shaoyi firmly believed that there would be a moment when he could leave this dangerous tropical forest.

Squatted down, grabbed a large handful of volcanic ash with his hands, sniffed it less, and looked around carefully...... He made a judgment, and it turned out that the tropical jungle grew on top of an active volcano that was hidden deeply. It is this sullen and irregular volcano that turns the climate upside down, and poisonous gases are constantly rising from the ground, and anyone will be stimulated and paralyzed to behave abnormally.

Deeply poisoned, even if Shaoyi understands where his madness comes from, he is still powerless to save himself.

Shaoyi's lungs were filled with the smell of tropical humus, and his eyes were briefly blind because he had not seen light for many days. Shaoyi's body is constantly swinging because of the sudden temperature difference in the climate......
