Chapter Eighty-Six: The Thumb Piano
Loki had already found out, but seeing that little Fatuna was not in danger, it didn't stop her.
Speaking of which, he is also a more rational person, using his own dangerous experience as a reference, he stubbornly believes that it is necessary to increase the ability to protect himself as much as possible without harming himself.
And little Fatuna is very talented, her talent is not only reflected in the natural ability to 'steal and hide', but also she is also very smart.
Loki knew that the parents of this little half-elf girl were just the most ordinary half-elf farmers, she had no education, but she could remember a few common words, and could barely write and draw some.
At the same time, little Fatuna is also very interested in plants, and she can distinguish the medicinal effects of many plants, which Loki knows very well.
The little half-elf girl has a natural appearance, and maybe she has a druid talent.
The rare and mysterious profession of the druid, Loki has only heard Duncan the Minotaur mention, and when it comes to it, there should be a higher and broader development space than that of a professional.
Little Fatuna seemed to be competing with the handstand, her thin arms lacked strength, and she fell many times in a row in handstands.
But she was not discouraged at all, and gritted her teeth to learn.
Little Fatuna was once again upside down, and when her back was about to fall, Loki gently dragged her and helped her maintain her balance.
"Don't be afraid, there is no fear that can frighten us, let alone fall. ”
"Hold on to your arms, feel the balance, don't gasp for air, breathe evenly and deeply. ”
The little girl's arms trembled, obviously the strength could not hold on, Loki was not forcing her, she was not letting her fall, and the two of them sat on the ground together to rest.
Little Fatuna couldn't help but ask, "Brother Loki, that, what did you practice just now?"
This half-elf little girl has experienced a lot of dangers in the past few years, which makes her vaguely feel that if she learns these movements like martial arts, she can not only protect herself, but also reduce a certain burden on Brother Loki.
"Do you really want to learn?"
When little Fatuna heard this, she quickly nodded happily.
"If you learn these martial arts, you can't stop, you can't hesitate, and you can't slack off. ”
A person's subjective initiative is very important, and there have been teachers and elders who have often been asked, why do you study? Even in some film and television dramas and novels, there are masters and elders who will ask, why do you study martial arts or why do you want to gain strength?
Seemingly superfluous words, but they plant the seeds for firm belief and will, adults need faith to enhance subjective initiative, ignorant children need to be unwavering mentality.
Loki picked out some things from his past and told them to the half-elf girl as if they were stories.
Little Fatuna sat on the side with her head up, and heard that Loki was like herself, and that she was often hungry as a miserable beggar, and the more she listened to it, the more sad her little face became.
In particular, hearing Loki talk about Grod's beating of him, little Fatuna became angry again, eager to teach the trafficker a lesson.
"I survived and killed Grod because I didn't hesitate, didn't slack off, didn't stop improving myself, and that's what allowed me to survive until now. ”
Little Fatuna nodded and said firmly: "Brother Loki, I won't let you down. ”
Loki smiled and patted her on the head, then found a piece of wood and sharpened her with a dagger, a small wooden sword the size of a broken blade, but more suitable for a little girl to grasp.
Her little face flushed with joy, and she took the short wooden sword and waved it lovingly.
This night, Xiao Fatu has worked hard to learn, a few simple short-bladed basic movements.
Although the little girl has been stumbling through practice, she maintains a high level of spirit and is reluctant to go to sleep until late at night.
......
For the next five or six days, in addition to taking care of little Fatuna, Loki focused on diving and exploring.
In the course of a few days, he dived into the cold water no less than 100 times, and even his bones and joints were affected somewhat, and he could feel the subtle pain like pins and needles in his bones when he practiced martial arts every day.
Fortunately, this taste was not in vain, and the deep and dark underwater space was basically explored by him.
The wide underwater corridor, with a length of about 100 meters, except for some flat stone steps in the middle, is surrounded by a labyrinthine underwater stone forest composed of stone pillars and stalagmites.
At the end of the underwater promenade, it was already completely dark.
Under the estimation of the coordinate model, Loki has been groping with his hands, which is also the most time-consuming and mentally testing step in the past few days. Living up to his expectations, in less than a week he finally discovered another space in the underwater promenade.
At that time, he only had two skins of air left, so he did not surface to investigate, but planned to come back when he was well prepared.
......
In the middle of the day, the sun was shining, and on a hillside full of wildflowers, little Fatuna was chasing a butterfly.
The little girl ran with joy as she screamed loudly with joy.
Under the protection of Loki these days, little Fatuna, who was once afraid of timidity, has become more and more cheerful.
Loki walked back from a short distance down the hill, carrying a small rodent in his hand, resembling a groundhog, but smaller and more rounded.
Tired from running, little Fatuna wandered back.
Curiously, she stabbed the round groundhog with her short wooden sword and asked, "Brother Loki, what is this?"
Loki smiled and said, "This should be the Oude Mountain Guinea Pig, but such a small one is not enough for you to eat." ”
"I won't eat it, I'll give it to you, Brother Loki wants to eat more. ”
He smiled and shook his head, there were other uses for grabbing this little thing, not to mention that they were no longer short of food.
A burlap blanket was spread out on the green grass, and some simple food was taken out of the package, soft white bread, tree fruits, and some dried meat.
Little Fatuna was eating very happily, and Loki next to her sank into deep consciousness for a moment.
After a pinprick-like stinging pain in his head, a random beam of information from the astral consciousness seed last night was embodied by him. Then he took an object out of his bosom.
The 'thumb piano' is a palm-sized instrument with a metal pipe attached to a small square wooden board connected to ten miniature metal reeds for plucking and playing.
Little Fatuna's gaze was immediately drawn to it, and her small body moved and leaned towards Loki's side.
Loki smiled and handed over the 'thumb piano', he was also surprised after checking the message beam yesterday, he didn't expect the astral consciousness seed to descend such a small instrument.
The little girl curiously played with the metal sheet, and the thumb piano made several different and wonderful sounds.
Constantly playing the thumb piano, although it was out of tune and sounded like noise, little Fatuna was playing with great interest.
