Chapter 5 Knowledge and Recent Situation
When Donkey returned home, it was already dawn, and his mother, Vanessa, was busy in the small shop on the first floor of her house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Seeing Tang Qi enter the door, his mother ran out and hugged him in surprise: "Where have you been, I asked William and he said that you will close the stall in the afternoon! After saying that, she pulled Tang Qi to check it around, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
's mother is an ordinary woman, gentle and elegant, able to pull the Tang Qi brothers and sisters to grow up alone, and is a very capable woman. Time inevitably leaves its mark on her, but she can still see the beauty of her youth.
The family takes advantage of the convenience of the street to open a small porridge shop, and the customers are all neighbors, and the business is tepid but enough for the family to live.
"There was a bit of trouble on the way...... But it's all right. Tang Qi said vaguely that if he let his mother know that he was spending the night outside the city, he would have to ground himself.
Hearing Tang Qi's perfunctory, his mother did not ask questions, but carefully examined him, like a detective looking for clues.
Fortunately, the Ranger equipment was transferred in advance, otherwise it would not have been hidden, Tang Qi thought to himself. Ranger equipment is strictly forbidden to leak out, and when he comes back, he wraps the equipment and gives it to a guy who can be trusted, and asks the other party to help modify the leather armor pattern for later use.
"A wolf hair?
The mother suddenly exclaimed, and pinched a snow-white wolf hair from Tang Qi's pants.
Oops, it must have been stuck when riding a wolf, Tang Qi's face changed slightly. This morning, seeing that the winter wolf was healed from his injury, he rode the wolf on a whim, not to mention that although the winter wolf has the same copper head and iron tail as the ordinary wolf, it is not a problem to carry people in a short distance.
"This isβ" Tang Qi hurriedly wanted to explain, but his mother's face suddenly changed:
"Xiaoqi, I know you've grown up, but if you dare to learn from the right street, I'll break your legs!"
Across the street...... Defoe, Tang Qi was a little confused, wasn't Defu the dead fat man who went to the brothel last week and was still promoting everywhere, thinking of this, Tang Qi's face turned green: "Mother, things are not what you think, I have never been to any kind of place." β
After listening to Tang Qi's explanation, his mother threw away the wolf fur: "Also, the winter wolf blanket is worth a lot of money, and it is not available in ordinary places." β
Tang Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Go and tell Louise to eat. "Mother set up the table and chairs and went to serve the meal.
Tang Qi walked up the stairs, the second floor of the house is the bedroom, there are 4 rooms, the depth is the mother's bedroom, on the left hand side of the staircase is Tang Qi's bedroom, and on the right hand side is Louise's bedroom. Standing in front of Louise's bedroom door, Tang Qi took a deep breath before knocking on the door.
Knock knock knock -
The bedroom didn't respond, Tang Qi frowned, and as soon as his finger touched the doorknob, the door slowly opened.
Tang Qi looked weird, sure enough, she would lock the door only when I was at home, how much she hated her brother. Since the door was unlocked, Tang Qi directly pushed the door open: "Louise, it's time to eat." β
The curtains were drawn in the bedroom, Tang Qi looked at it intently, and his face changed suddenly: "Louise!"
On the bed, the quilt wrapped a petite body, which was trembling, Tang Qi rushed forward and pulled the quilt, revealing a red little face, the quilt was very hot, but she was like cold teeth chattering.
"What's going on, how can the cold attack, doesn't the medicine work!"
Looking at Louise's uncomfortable expression, Tang Qi was at a loss. Cold disease is a strange disease unique to the south, which is not fatal, but it is difficult to cure, and when it occurs, it will feel cold all over the body and need to take medicine for a long time.
"You...... You go away, I don't have to worry about you......"
Louise said with a shudder. Tang Qi ignored her, but rummaged through the bedside.
"You...... What are you doing!" Louise's small hand grabbed a box at the head of the bed, like a child caring for candy.
Tang Qi was stunned, and kept looking for medicine to control the cold. However, rummaging through the bedside and cabinets without finding the medicine, Tang Qi finally set his eyes on the box that Louise was holding.
"Bring the box. β
"Don't!" Louise looked at Tang Qi sadly, and the look made Tang Qi feel as if she was going to snatch her medicine and throw it away.
"You have to take medicine. β
Looking at Louise's trembling body, Tang Qi said in a deep voice and snatched the box. Strangely, hearing his words, Louise calmed down, Tang Qi couldn't help but feel nervous, could it be that Louise really thought she was going to throw her medicine just now?!
After quickly finding the potion in the box and giving it to Louise, she gradually calmed down.
Looking at Louise, curled up in the quilt like a kitten, Tang Qi hesitated for a moment and asked carefully, "You...... Why don't you take your medicine?"
Louise didn't answer, just lowered her head and didn't look at him.
"There are still a lot of medicines here, which means that you haven't taken your medicine properly for the past two days, which will make your condition worse. Tang Qi frowned.
"You don't have to pretend to be a good person, it's disgusting. β
Louise gave him a cold look, got up from the bed, put on a coat, and left the bedroom, as if the brother Donkey didn't exist.
Louise's attitude made Tang Qi a little dissatisfied, but thinking that the other party was still a 12-year-old child, and suffering from such a painful illness as cold, he really couldn't get angry.
The relationship between this brother and sister is not ordinarily bad, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the same situation, looking at Louise's reaction just now, I am afraid there is still a hidden relationship between them. Tang Qi had a headache, he didn't inherit any memories when he crossed over, and he was able to integrate into the family all thanks to the original Tang Qi's diary and the excuse that his mood changed greatly after a serious illness, but the diary couldn't be detailed, so he didn't know a lot of things.
The breakfast was simple, bread, milk and butter, and the unhappiness of the two upstairs just now did not show it in front of their mother.
"Xiaoqi, you can't always do the business of 'prophecy' for a long time, you should find a proper job as soon as possible. Mother smoothed the butter and handed it to Louise.
"Well, does Mother have any suggestions?"
Tang Qi nodded, he thought that the fortune-telling business was good, but after experiencing yesterday's events, he knew that fortune-telling was risky, and he needed to be cautious in deceiving people. The people here are not as kind as the earth.
"Really!" Mother Vanessa was pleasantly surprised, as a mother, seeing that the child was willing to live a down-to-earth life, she was still in a pretty good mood, but thinking of the winter wolf fur just now, she muttered secretly, could it be that the child really found a woman?
"In two days there is the autumn festival, where the knights will recruit squires, and it is also a grand ceremony for the nobles to recruit retainers. Although you can only participate in the middle of the general source qi, Xiaoqi, you can also participate at a young age. β
"Haven't you always complained that the Torrent Meditation Method is not good, if you are chosen by the nobles, you can get better Meditation Methods and Source Techniques. β
Meditation method and source technique, Tang Qi's eyes lit up. The Torrent Meditation Method is the lowest level of meditation method, and if you can get a better meditation method, your cultivation speed will be greatly improved. However, meditation methods and source techniques are very valuable, and even some of the library's public meditation methods and source techniques can only be obtained if they have a certain contribution to the city.
"I'll give it a try. β
Tang Qi took a bite of bread, meditation and source techniques are tempting, joining the nobility is not that simple, he is still self-aware of his strength. When he was in the Fifth Middle School of the Tower, Tang Qi's strength was at an average level, and the top two students in his grade had entered the middle stage of Accumulation Qi when they graduated.
And now, although he has broken through to the middle stage of accumulating source qi, he doesn't know fighting skills, and he can't exert his strength if he has no strength.
You have to find a way to learn fighting skills, Tang Qi said secretly, he doesn't know the fighting skills taught in school at all, don't look at himself as the middle stage of the source qi, and the real hand may not be the opponent of the early stage of the source qi graduates.
Unless lightning bolts are used.
After breakfast, Louise hurried to school, while Donkey helped her mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks and tidy up the porridge shop, and then returned to the bedroom.
The morning chill had not subsided, and although the ice lizard flower was much more cold-tolerant, Tang Qi still added a piece of charcoal to the stove to make the bedroom warmer. His bedroom has a balcony facing the backyard, which is well lit, and the cold light shines on the bookshelves, which is clear and deserted.
Most of the books on the shelves are middle school textbooks, and I was reluctant to throw them away before, but it was cheaper.
"I've seen the content of the first grade of middle school, it's time to look at the second grade, and the curriculum should be "Survival Skills in the Wild", "Encyclopedia of Evil Beasts", "History of the Kingdom of the Tower", "Machine Tool Use and Simple Maintenance", "Herbal Identification" ......"
Unlike the earth, although there is a certain amount of technology in this era, there are evil beasts everywhere in the wild, it is difficult to exploit resources, and life is more difficult. Therefore, the courses taught in the school are mainly practical, and the pursuit is to make students have the ability to survive after graduation.
However, there is a difference between men and women, for example, "Machine Tool Use and Simple Maintenance" will be replaced by "Textile Machine Use and Repair" in girls' schools, while courses such as "Survival Skills in the Wild" or "Trap Setting" will be the same.
Sure enough, even if the industry is just in its infancy, has it begun to train workers?
Tang Qi sighed that he had learned about the technology here, probably because the industry was just starting, iron and textiles had entered the homes of ordinary people on a large scale, and the efficiency of the steam engine was still very low, and the main purpose was mining.
However, what he cares about is that gunpowder has not become a trend in this world, but has become an outcast of the times.
One of the reasons for this is the existence of the source force, even if the weak source force warrior wears leather armor, he can basically ignore the blow of ordinary gunpowder, of course, if it is only so, gunpowder may not be completely cold. There is a second reason, which is the lack of resources and the increase in the price of gunpowder.
In addition, one of the most important reasons is that the rate of fire of Yuan Xiu's bow and arrow is very amazing, penetrating, and the range is also higher than that of ordinary muskets.
The country where he is located is called the Kingdom of the Tower, and the kingdom has four major territories, which are controlled by the dukes of the four realms, and the four dukes are ruled by the king. Winterfell is the main city in the South, controlled by the Winter family.
Removing the Encyclopedia of Evil Beasts from the shelf, Tang Qi was very interested in this book, which recorded various common evil beasts.
Evil beasts are a common threat to the intelligent races of this world, and they are all over the wild, surprisingly numerous, and powerful. There are many theories about the origin of the evil beast, and the scholars of the Bachelor Tower disagree on it.
"Literacy is still a big problem. β
Looking at the pages full of obscure words, Tang Qi rubbed his eyebrows, although he could understand the words of the people here, he was illiterate. Fortunately, the wording here is similar to Chinese, and the hard work for half a month has finally gained a little.
I started translating the diary, but I had a hard time.
So far, he still has to rely on dictionaries to read, Tang Qi shook his head, picked a stove, and devoted himself to learning.
He was like a sponge, hungry and thirsty for the knowledge here......
