Chapter 14: The World Is So Big

"What are you practicing? It's scary! Shi Lan, don't think about practicing evil skills! ”

Looking at Shi Lan's sweaty appearance, Xiangling couldn't help but think of the story of a diner chatting while eating in the restaurant, saying that a few years ago, there was a person in the village outside the city who practiced evil skills to save his wife, but his wife was not saved and attracted the demon god who ate children, resulting in the destruction of the family and the destruction of the village.

And the feeling that Shi Lan gave her just now was very similar to that story.

Someone in the same family was injured, and Shi Lan also practiced this very strange exercise.

It sent her shudders.

"You think too much...... Shi Lan wiped the sweat on his head and comforted: "This is ...... My unknown parents left behind... Although it looks weird, it has greatly improved my physique. ”

"Really?" Xiangling will be skeptical.

"Really, I don't believe you asked Guoba."

Guoba: "?? (What's my business!) )

However, he still shook his head very spiritually, indicating that Shi Lan's exercises were fine.

As for why it thinks it's okay, it doesn't know.

I just feel that the breath produced by this kind of exercise is a bit familiar, and I feel like I have seen it there, but it is definitely not the evil skill that Xiangling thinks.

Speaking of the pot, Shi Lan's eyes were full of gratitude.

He couldn't cope with the situation just now, and every time he took the third step, this chaotic memory would appear, causing him to lose control of his breath.

The sound of the pot directly pulled him out of his confusion, and he was able to complete this step smoothly.

Feeling the still surging breath in his body, Shi Lan was sure in his heart that after the breath calmed down tomorrow, the third step would definitely be successfully completed.

Xiangling circled around Shi Lan and said in surprise: "So, is this the secret of your defeat of the wild boar at the age of ten?" I've never seen you practice before. ”

Shi Lan was embarrassed to be praised by Xiangling like this, and explained: "It's not all my ability to defeat the wild boar, I also dug a trap." ”

Xiangling suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand! And then you stoned it and knocked it out! ”

"No, I jumped down and knocked it out."

"Jump... Jump down..."

Xiangling was dumbfounded, imagining the scene of a duel between a little boy and an adult wild boar in a pit, and stammered, "Isn't that more dangerous?" ”

Shi Lan took the fan in Xiangling's hand and continued to fan the medicine stove, and replied at the same time: "Of course not, I have a weapon." ”

"Huh? What weapons? ”

"I broke the boar's fangs to make a weapon, and then I went to knock it on the head, and it was easy to knock it out."

Xiangling: "........."

Shi Lan's words really scared the little girl, she didn't come back to her senses until the medicine was boiled, and her little head kept imagining the scene of Shi Lan fighting the wild boar, how to think about it and how outrageous.

She felt that Shi Lan was lying, but the big wild boar was bought by her own family, and it was really like what Shi Lan said at that time, the wild boar was still alive, and it was knocked out and carried back, and the two fangs were indeed broken, and she didn't think about it so much at the time, but now she knows that it was actually broken by Shi Lan......

Shi Lan picked up the medicine stove and was about to go back to the house, but found that Xiangling was still in a daze, so she kicked the pot: "Guoba, call your master, she seems to be asleep." ”

"Wow!"

Guoba cooperated and pulled Xiangling's hand, which woke her up.

Xiangling puffed out her mouth: "I still don't believe it!" You must have used a trick! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Intrigue. ”

"You used anesthetics? Poisoning food? Or do you want to sneak up while it's sleeping? Poor pig pig has fallen for your machinations, humans are cunning! ”

"You're talking about the way you and Uncle Mao went up the mountain to catch game, right?"

"Not all, most of them use bows and arrows...... Oh no, no, no! It's all my dad's hand, and if I catch a little squirrel, I'll let it go......"

"That's because the squirrel meat is unpalatable and can't be sold, right?"

"Shi Lan! You're so nasty! ”

The two returned to the kitchen noisily, Shi Lan looked for a bowl to pour soup medicine for his father, and Xiangling was wandering around in the kitchen.

Shi Lan's kitchen is very small, compared to Xiangling's house, it is very small, but very clean, and there is no oil stain on the desk and stove.

On the one hand, it is due to Shi Lan's daily cleaning, and on the other hand, the Shi family cooks very quickly, and the father and son stir-fry a plate of vegetables is enough to eat two meals in the middle and evening.

In addition, there are very few ingredients in the kitchen, except for rice noodles and some vegetables and bacon and the like.

In addition, there is a refrigerator in the kitchen, and the stones that can store elemental power are filled with ice elements, although the elements cannot be mobilized, but they can be frozen and kept fresh in the cabinet.

This thing can be bought in Bubulu, and when it is used up, it can be replaced with a new one, and it can basically be used for a month at a time.

Xiangling plans to make breakfast for Shi Lan, but she can't find the ingredients to use, but she finds a pot of cooked dough.

"Shi Lan, what is this dough used for?"

"I sent noodles yesterday, and I was going to steam steamed buns for my dad this morning, but you brought breakfast, so I put it away."

Xiangling picked up the basin and sniffed: "Can I use it?" ”

"What are you going to do?"

"How about I make you breakfast for my new dish?"

And this kind of good thing?

Shi Lan couldn't wait to nod.

moved to the bench, Xiangling washed her hands, rolled up her sleeves, stood on the bench and began to knead the dough, and the pot also stood on the edge of the table and chattered, as if guiding her.

Filtering out the dregs, Shi Lan took out the poured decoction and gave it to Shi Shan, and gave the stage to Xiangling.

Shi Shan had already finished breakfast, put the empty bowl aside, and when he saw Shi Lan coming over, he said curiously, "Has Xiangling gone back?" ”

"No, what about cooking in the kitchen, you drink the medicine first." Shi Lan blew on the decoction and handed it to Shi Shan to take it.

Shi Shan didn't talk nonsense, he took a sip and felt that the heat was moderate, so he raised his head and drank it all in one sip, and took the apple handed by Shi Lan.

"Eat an apple to relieve the bitterness."

Shi Lan packed up the dishes and chopsticks and was about to take them to the kitchen to clean, but Shi Shan immediately stopped him:

"I said son, your uncle is good, why don't you go and learn to cook? In Liyue, his skills are top-notch, and he intends to take you as an apprentice and become a chef directly at Wanmin Tang in the future. ”

Shi Lan stopped, turned his back to Shi Shan, and did not look back.

The sound of Xiangling ordering the pot to breathe fire came from the kitchen, and cooking had already begun.

After being silent for a long time, Shi Lan lowered her voice, her immature voice was a little deeper, and she said slowly: "Dad, did you have a dream when you were young?" ”

"Of course." Shi Shan said with a smile: "Not to mention being young, my biggest dream now is to raise you, and then we will live our lives in peace." ”

Shi Lan nodded, and continued, "An and a stable life...... It's wonderful, but it's not for me. ”

"Huh?"

Shi Lan turned her head to look out the window.

The morning sun pours down over the thriving city, and the streets are white and bustling with pedestrians.

Shi Lan's eyes flashed with light.

"Have you ever set foot in the Cold Mountain of Dragon's Back, where the old kingdom is frozen in ice? Have you ever seen the other side of the sea, the legendary unwanted knife that cuts off the mountains and seas? Have you ever heard the celestial song of wind and freedom? Have you ever longed for the island of the heavenly dome that hangs over the heads of the world, representing the supreme divine power......"

Shi Shan's head was tense: "You speak to me!" ”

Shi Lan turned her head and smiled brightly.

"Dad, the world is so big, I want to go out and wave."
