When he first arrived in Sunshine City, Zhou Shu, an idle person, didn't even have the heart to visit his castle, and slipped directly to Xicheng District. om
Leaving the castle in such a hurry, in addition to the fact that he really wanted to find some serious things to do for himself, the castle of the Baiyu family was really a little cold, and it didn't look too good to live in. It was clearly built for defense, like a Russian appliance, big and stupid.
The civilization on this side of the American continent is completely incomparable, Zhou Shu is not partial to his eldest lady, as a person who has stayed in the two places, he still wants to help the backward West Country to say good things, but unfortunately he can't find a point to help him partially.
The White Moon Castle of the Sick Princess is also a city within a city, but it is more comfortable to live in than a palace. He hadn't seen a castle in the country of the west, but the Flower Palace was actually pretty good.
Now that others have arrived in the country of the east and lived in the castle here, they have the feeling of buying Russian appliances, which are not so bad that they are very uncomfortable to use. He had a good relationship with the Grey Witch, and he didn't mean to slander her hometown, but it was really the first thing he felt when he saw the castle.
Having said that, Zhou Shu, who was born as a literature major, naturally knows what kind of ghost virtue those castles in Europe are. He also had seen the architectural standards of the White Moon Country, and his expectations for the East Country were a little too high.
The castle where he temporarily lives has not raised some chickens, ducks and geese, and it is not full of straw, but it has a relatively spacious porch. It's a little gloomy, but it's not humid, and the Americas are not the cold British Isles, and it's hard to get wet.
But it's not so absolute......
Zhou Shu was in the square of Xicheng District, and first saw a very cute girl in front of him. Laughing and groaning big performance wet show. If it weren't for the fact that he was sure that there weren't so many erotic tricks in this world, he was really worried that the girl would collect money from him after the performance.
In addition to the wet girl, there will also be a large amount of mist in the pool of the square.
Zhou Shu felt very strange, his good eyesight saw some dangerous situations, and all the guards in the center of the pool fell into the mist that overflowed like water vapor. His martial sixth sense then erupted with a very strict danger alarm.
"He's damaging it, this thing is poisonous!"
He screamed. Cover your mouth and nose with your clothes and conjure jelly beans to swallow. The girl next to him also felt weird, and when she heard the word 'poisonous', she was so frightened that she grabbed the hem of her own clothes and covered her face as he did.
The mist is indeed poisonous, Zhou Shu just pinched the time regression jelly beans out of thin air, and before he could spare the effort to stuff it into his mouth, his body was no longer obedient, and his limbs were so stiff that he couldn't move half a step. The body slammed into the ground with a normal thud.
'It's really going to be over this time...... Zhou Shu's head can still rotate normally, he can already feel the burning sensation from his respiratory tract, which is quite uncomfortable.
Death is not terrible for him at all. With the Grey Witch and Aleusha here, and the Time Magic Array there, he wasn't worried at all that he would die in such a backwood.
Just when Zhou Shu calmed down and was ready to experience the feeling of death, his numb arm felt that someone was dragging him. He couldn't open his eyes. I couldn't speak in my mouth, but I barely felt a little in my chest. I knew my skin was rubbing against the rough gravel floor.
It didn't take long for his head to begin to blur, and his closed eyes brought darkness and tranquility that made him drowsy. Zhou Shu fainted-
After the occupation of Sunshine City, Snail Kite lost his job as a physician. Now no one in the city needs a doctor, and the sick are dragged directly to the occupying forces. Heal by them. However, the so-called treatment was usually just a pretense, and she knew very well that the occupying forces were afraid of the outbreak of the plague and that someone would deliberately spread the disease in the city, so they would execute everyone who contracted the epidemic.
Other citizens also know what the people of the West do about it. It's very disgraceful, but there is no countermeasure, and I can only endure it when I am sick.
For this job as a physician, Snail Kite is not satisfied at all. She didn't know anything about herbal medicine, and she didn't have the ability to heal the sick. But she was able to heal some people, and she had a very useful recipe on hand, which her father had left behind. Follow the prescription into the medicine and let the patient drink it, and occasionally you can really achieve the level of medical treatment of rejuvenation with wonderful hands.
She got up from home with nothing to do today, swept the dust that fell from the yellow mud walls overnight out of the house as much as possible, and then went out to draw water. When she went out, her head hit the door frame, although it was her own home, but she always couldn't balance the contradiction between height and door frame height.
The most annoying thing in Snail Kite's life is queuing, if she has the money to buy herself a straw hat and won't let her black hair burn in the sun, maybe queuing is not too painful.
She woke up late today, and there was a riot at the water draw place not long after waiting in line. Normally, when such a thing happens, the line is in vain, and she rejoices in her good fortune, and hurries away from the sun to rest in the shadows under the high walls of the arbitration chamber.
During the break, she meets a generous interracial man and receives a beautiful hydration bag from him, which is considered a gift. The hydration bladder is made of the leather of an unknown animal, and it is very tough and beautiful.
Snail Kite was a little attracted to this man, for the simple reason that this water bag was the best gift she had ever received in her life, and this man was also the most generous person she had ever met. But she doesn't expect anything from a man, she knows very well that she looks like a man, and her personality seems to be a little similar, and the neighbor's sister still has a crush on her, so she thinks that she may marry a girl in the future, rather than marry someone else.
The snail kite gets its name from her patron saint. Compared to the country of the west, most of the guardian gods of the country of the east are bird tribes, and there are more beast tribes in the country of the west.
The sun god, the strongest of the bird clans, is the patron saint of the West Country. But it doesn't matter, now the sun god is dead. Due to the large number of bird clans in the East Country, the birds know their weaknesses best, and design to trick and kill the sun god. The moon god who led this qiē is now dead, and the moon god temple has not been contacted for a long time. Although the temple has always claimed that the moon god is busy with secret things, he has not passed away. However, after the occupation of Sunshine City, they didn't say so. If anyone dares to continue this kind of speech, they will be arrested and hanged by the soldiers of the West Country. The people of the West Country believe that the god of the moon has been killed, just as their god of the sun has been killed.
Snail Kite's heartbeat feeling for a man only lasted a few seconds before it ended, a rather short relationship. She often has a crush on the men around her, and she knows that she is probably at that age.
This time, the excitement did not disappear naturally, but was disturbed by other things, and there was no time to take care of it. In the direction of the pool, a suspicious-looking mist appeared, and the snail kite hurriedly lifted the clothes on his body to cover his head and face, exposing his navel and preparing to escape.
She had no doubt about the catastrophic nature of what was happening, something like this had happened a few times in the past two weeks.
The city was occupied by the enemy nation, and Duke Kuroba's family was escorted to the enemy country. The nobles surrendered one after another, and the commoners' property was seized and humiliated. In such a situation, it is natural that there will be a rebellion.
Snail Kite was sure that eighty percent of the one riot in the city would come from the rebels, and half of the other two percent would go to the army of Nishino Country. In comparison, they are still relatively mild.
Just as she was holding her breath and preparing to run away, she was reminded by the beautiful water bottle hanging from her waist. The generous alien man on the ground needed help.
"I'm a doctor! I can't die without help!"
The snail kite, who had never been cured several times in his life, dragged Zhou Shu and breathed through the wet clothes. Struggled to move forward, fleeing beyond the mist.
The power of the sun quickly dispelled the fog, and today was probably the coolest day in weeks. Snail Kite's home is not far from the place where the bad luck broke out, otherwise she would not have gotten up early in the morning to fetch water, and her house still has enough water.
Under the big sun, she dragged the strange man who seemed to be alive. Little by little, I walked home. At this time, the entire Xicheng District has entered a riot, and there is a mess everywhere. No one paid any attention to the act of a beautiful boy dragging a dead man, and hurried to hide in his house so as not to fall on his own head.
The snail kite's strength is still quite large, when no one is looking for her to see a doctor. In order to make ends meet, he occasionally helps with farms and forestry farms. Ordinary girls are sewing and mending, washing, picking vegetables and cooking, but she has to take turns to aim hoes and axes at the ground or tree trunks, but she has exercised good hand strength because of this.
Carrying the man home and making sure his breathing again, Snail Kite gave up his plank bed for the sick to lie down on, and went out to collect the materials needed for his home remedies. It's been almost two months since the military administration, and it's getting harder and harder to find anything, and there are only more and more people missing inexplicably.
I finally got the materials from the neighbors and returned to my home, and started a fire in front of the stone stove in the yard.
"I was ......so miserable to burn the fire at noon on the hottest day of the summer this year"
The snail kite complained, using a blowtorch to get the lit wood little by little, scooping out a scoop of water from the house's stockpile, pouring it into a pot to boil, and then began to chop the ingredients with a stone knife.
At present, no one except the military has knives in the entire Nikko City, and all of them have been confiscated to prevent riots. When people use weapons in their hands, they will always do some hot-headed things, so that they lose the power to resist, and pessimism will make people more honest.
Snail Kite didn't confiscate anything from the soldiers, because she couldn't afford a kitchen knife in the first place, and had been using a sharp stone chip she found as a knife. She was skilfully slicing through a large pile of greenery, applying salt and some other powdered object to it.
The water quickly boiled, and the backyard of Snail Kite's house became the hottest and most inhospitable place in the whole of Sunshine City. She herself became ** under the combined attack of the stove fire and the sun, sweating profusely and losing water. Her shirt was soaked with sweat, even wetter than when she had showered with water before, and a thin garment was no different from not wearing it.
Zhou Shu was lying in the room, and the automatic recovery ability of the martial artist's body was working. It didn't take long for him to regain consciousness.
He was sane and remembered why he was unconscious. He looked at the low ceiling in front of him, and he was sure that he had been saved by someone, and that he was not dead.
The room was dusty, and the walls were mottled and worn, the kind that could be picked up by hand. It's a lot of worrying that a rain or even a soak of urine will collapse the wall. This kind of house is even more unbearable than the house of Kernan's younger brother in the beginning, but there is a bit of life in the jars and jars here, although the jars seem to have been dug out of the ground by archaeologists.
His body is not very good, his muscles are sore, and his lower body is basically unresponsive. This frightened him to live in such a country where entertainment is not developed enough. Losing the lower body is basically equivalent to losing all the pastime and entertainment, which is quite miserable.
"How long ago did I get poisoned?" he muttered to himself. Looking at the skylight, it didn't seem to take long, so Zhou Shu tried to eat a time-retraced jelly bean, and after waiting for a while, his body quickly recovered his original strength.
Just as he was about to get up from the creaking, rickety bed, a man walked in through the open door. If it weren't for the small bumps and pink bumps that could be seen through her soaked blouse, Zhou Shu would really think of her as a man.
It took a few seconds. The old man remembered the owner of the pink two, the girl who had been in the shade with him.
"Did you save me?" Zhou Shu looked at the girl, staring at the wooden bowl she was holding in her hand. He swore that if the person who eats in this bowl does not have a little internal organ level, it is estimated that he will be caused by the wooden thorns on it all year round, and he will get mouth ulcers, or even stomach ulcers.
He is now sure that the premonition that he will meet an important woman in his life given by his internal organs originally meant that he would be saved by a girl. This is the first time Zhou Shu has been rescued by a stranger. So this kind of premonition is also the first time it has appeared, and it is very fresh. He misunderstood something.
Seeing that the sick person woke up, the snail kite happily put the bowl on the ground, it was a bowl of soup-like things, green, and the dust on the ground raised some of it and floated into the soup when the bowl hit the ground.
"You're still sick, don't get up. I have medicine here. Come and eat it, try it and see if it works. ”
Zhou Shu hurriedly thanked him, then introduced himself, and only said a name.
Snail Kite smiled and held the bowl, "My name is Snail Kite." Snails and kites. If you're not in good health, I'll feed you. ”
Master Zhou watched this young lady called Snail Kite sweating profusely and coming to his side with a bowl, wanting to feed himself with a wooden spoon, instinctively wanting to avoid it. Out of politeness, he opened his mouth, swallowed a mouthful of the bowl of soup, and said thank you.
He wasn't stupid, and he knew how troublesome and fatal it was to cook medicine for himself on such a hot day. He estimated that his body should not be overturned by the administration of this soup and water, and he probably could stand it, so he ate it.
As a result, a strange feeling rose from his heart. Looking at the green thing in the bowl, Zhou Shu asked suspiciously, "This thing...... It looks like vegetable soup, right?"
Snail Kite nodded, "That's right, it's some delicious wild vegetables, it's hard to find now." ”
When she said this, a look of reluctance flashed in her eyes, and Zhou Shu sweated after seeing it, and he was sure that this guy was reluctant to let himself drink.
"It's delicious, you can drink it too. Zhou Shuqian gave in, in fact, the soup tasted pretty good, very strong wild vegetable taste, moderate saltiness, if it was winter, he wouldn't mind drinking a bowl of bread.
Hearing this, Snail Kite quickly shook her head, "I'm not sick, I only drank this thing when someone in my family was sick." Besides, I can't drink anything so hot, I'm going to die of heat!!"
'Drink when you're sick?!'
Zhou Shu's sick rice is ordinary white porridge with red ginger shreds, which is not scientific at all, but as long as Zhou Shu is sick, his mother insists on letting him drink it. In addition, there will be occasional northerners' sick rice with egg noodles, which is usually eaten when you are sick in winter, which is bearable.
Looking at the whole bowl of soup with layers of dust, Zhou Shu smiled and drank it one by one. In any case, it is also something that his life-saving benefactor boiled, and he chooses to treat it carefully.
As a martial artist, he knew very well how poisonous the strange mist that had made him lie down was.
He remembered that the idiot of Hundred Tongues had eaten the berries of the bushes the other day, and he had been poisoned in minutes, and he and Nati had eaten a lot of them before they began to have stomach aches. As for the mist in the square, after only a little contact, the burning sensation poured down the nose and throat into the stomach, and before the person felt much discomfort, the limbs lost sensation.
"I'm alive now thanks to you. Thank you so much. Snail kites. ”
Master Zhou drank the soup and said words of thanks. His watch made the snail kite on the side feel that it was worth it to be busy for so long a day, and smiled.
As a physician, she has cured some patients with this hot vegetable soup. With those few success stories to help her publicize, she can continue to mix in the medical profession. She herself didn't know if she could really save people. At least one has been saved now. In her opinion, this person named Zhou Shu became more energetic after drinking his own soup.
Master Zhou ate a mouthful of sand, and was sure that this guy was not willing to use water to wash his own vegetables. But it doesn't matter, he believes that not washing the vegetables should be a tradition here, just like the small restaurant in his own area.
The body of the snail kite is still wet, and it has always remained transparent. Zhou Shu is trained by the Book of Summoning, and he can be quiet in front of half-naked girls, but he can't be calm in the face of this slightly erotic dress. It embarrassed him. In addition, he is a life-saving benefactor, and he is really not used to looking at a girl who has helped him a lot with squinting eyes.
Seeing that she was sweating profusely, and the sweat was still dripping, as if she didn't plan to turn off the hose, Zhou Shu decided to cool her down. In fact, he himself wanted to cool off.
This yellow mud room is especially prone to water vapor, and it is so hot that people want to cry.
"Snail kite, can I call you that?"
Snail Kite nodded, "How can you call it if you don't call it that?" I don't have a second name. ”
Zhou Shu hesitated. I don't know if I should show my weird side around this guy. He had already been in a situation where he had given money to others and then caused them a lot of trouble. Ever since the people of that village were killed with gold. He basically doesn't give anything of value anymore.
He remembered what the Grey Witch had told him when she gave him the beetle, 'Give it to the women around you.'" He wasn't frantically prepared to do anything to the slimy-looking snail kite like the water man at this time, so the 'woman next to him' shouldn't be able to talk about it. He felt that the snail's snail was very suitable for her at this time, both were sticky.
Master Zhou wanted to give her a metal beetle in return. The Gray Witch didn't say that she wasn't allowed to give it to others, but gave her a silver one. A beetle that doesn't look too valuable should be fine to protect her.
But before that......
"Snail kite, let's eat ice!!"
Zhou Shu raised his hand and conjured out of thin air the gift he brought to Nati, a large number of cones protected by a box of ice cubes. He needed to show the snail kite in front of him a first look at his weirdness before he took out something like a beetle, combined with the current state of being so hot that he wanted to take a cold shower. Eating ice seems like the right thing to do.
I have only seen the guardian saints twice in my life, and I have seen them perform miracles to make the vegetable seeds that have passed the sowing season quickly break the ground and sprout. He still remembers how he felt when he saw the seeds turn into green shoots and emerge from the ground.
She originally thought that it would be difficult to see that scene again in her life, but today she felt it again without warning.
Zhou Shu raised his hand to conjure up his treasure chest containing ice cubes in the cone, and after opening it, a charming cold air dispersed the heat in the room, bringing coolness.
The whole person of the snail kite was stupid, staring at the steaming box, feeling the cool breeze blowing on her face, and standing in her narrow room in a daze without saying a word.
"I am a magician, and I will repay you for saving your life, Snail Kite. Let's cool off!"
Zhou Shu, who had just drunk a bowl of hot soup, was actually not much better than a snail kite, and the whole person was also made unusually wolf by this temperature.
The ice cubes placed in the space of the Book of Treasures showed no signs of melting at all, and they were hard and cold.
Snail kite knows that there is such a thing as a magician, and the country of the east actually has it, and there are a lot of related legends, but it has been a long time since there has been a real magician.
Hearing Zhou Shu's words and seeing the big box in front of her, she was convinced of the magician's statement. Who else but a magician could get their hands on such a strange thing? She had never seen ice, and she didn't even know what the word 'ice' meant, except for the occasional conversation.
After Zhou Shu grabbed a handful of ice cubes and put them on top of his head to cool down, the snail kite didn't dare to move and touch this little crystal thing.
Seeing that she was a tropical animal at a loss for ice, Master Zhou grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, then crunched and chewed.
"You can taste the snail kite, too. As he said this, he grabbed a cone, tore open the package for the little girl in front of him, and handed it over. Immediately after, a voice that could easily make people want to crook came out of her throat.
"Ah~so sweet!What is this?!"
Zhou Shu noticed that the skin on the snail kite that had eaten some sweet cones was much tighter because of the coolness. The pink color under her wet coat became smaller and more conspicuous. She herself seemed unaware of any of this. (To be continued......)
