Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Heart Sprouts Thrive
If she had woken up any longer, he would have burned down the stone house.
When he returned to the small stove of the stone house, he used the water from the well to extinguish the fire in the pot, and opened the window and the skylight on the stone house, and dispersed the smoke inside.
The dish that comes out of the pot is still a nutritious meal pairing, which is a pot of fish ball rice noodles.
Originally, there were no fish balls in this overhead in ancient times, so I smiled and laughed that I wanted to eat them, so when I got up early in the morning, I pinched a few with noodles and fish.
It looks normal when it's made, but I don't know what it tastes like.
When she arrived at the stone table outside the stone house, she cut the wick of the candle used for lighting in the lampshade by two more sections to make the light brighter, and Gao Xiaoxiao realized that the young man she had pushed out of the stone house was still wearing the strange clothes made of big leaves, and he lowered his little head and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Little Aotian?"
shouted, but I didn't hear him answer, but when I shouted for the second time, I saw him raise his head in a daze, revealing his face stained with a lot of black dust.
With his stunned expression, he looks like a little flower cat.
"What's wrong?"
"What's the matter, why don't you know how to wash yourself after coming out for so long, and why don't you take off this leaf clothes you are wearing?"
Gao smiled and muttered, went to help him take off the leaf clothes that should be used to block oil stains and splashes, and brought a wooden basin with a lot of well water, soaked the handkerchief and tried his best to help Zhuang Hui clean the dirt on his face.
It was only after a while that she realized something was wrong.
It seems that Zhuang Hui is extremely well-behaved at this time, and he didn't resist what she did to him.
After thinking about it, Gao Xiaoxiao temporarily stopped to help him wipe his face, looked at him suspiciously and asked, "No, Xiao Aotian, why are you so well-behaved all of a sudden, I wanted to remove the leaves that fell above your head for you before, but you refused." ”
Now it's like a well-behaved kitten, let her toss at will.
Zhuang looked back at the leaf clothes that had been taken off and splashed with a lot of oil on the side, and replied to her in a muffled voice: "I seem to have caused you trouble, so I thought of making an apology." ”
When he lived alone before, no one taught him how to cook because the conditions were not good.
He has always been roasted over fire.
Like using a spatula, it was really the first time for him.
Originally, I wanted to reduce the burden on Gao Xiaoxiao, who cooks every day, but I didn't expect it to make a mess, and I had to trouble her to clean up the mess he left behind.
This made him feel deeply frustrated, and at the same time, he also felt a little remorseful.
Gao Xiaoxiao heard that this was the case, and when the handkerchief in his hand continued to wipe the filth on his face for him, he said with relief: "I said, but you are indeed reckless in making dinner by yourself today." If I hadn't woken up in time, this stone house would have been burned down by you. The next time you want to make your own dinner, just tell me first, don't I? I can teach you. ”
After speaking, the last bit of filth was wiped away by Gao Xiaoxiao, and she picked up the dirty sewage and poured it around her apron to the bushes on the side.
Zhuang Hui stared at her departing back, and her ears echoed what she had just said.
The crack in the seed that had already sprouted in his heart was a little bigger, and when he stared at the steaming fish ball rice noodles, he remembered in his mind the treatment he received when he was still a young sect master in Dongshan before, tempered by his own father, and wanted to do something that seemed to be beyond his ability.
Criticism, suppression, and ridicule are all Zhuang Penghai's usual moves against him.
At that time, because he didn't have many contacts, he thought that he deserved to be treated like this.
Almost all of them have formed a conditioned reflex, which is why they are so well-behaved after doing something wrong.
But what the system, called Xiaoxiao, said told him that there was another way to solve this problem.
She told him that she could help him even if he wanted to do what he couldn't do.
The more he thought about it, the little sprout born on the seed in Zhuang Hui's heart grew stronger and stronger, which made his heart warm at the same time, and when he had dinner next, he always unconsciously went to see Gao Xiaoxiao.
But Gao Xiaoxiao focused on the dry rice and tasted the simple version of the fish balls he made, and didn't notice his abnormality at all.
In the next few days, Gao Xiaoxiao followed Zhuang Hui to the boundless long steps to exercise her mental power during the day, and used the cheats she saw from the Fu Zheng Sect at night.
When she felt that Zhuang Hui's injuries were almost healed, she released the second side quest.
[Side quest 2 - Obtaining the eyeballs of three three-eyed fish has been successfully received, and the time limit for completion is: 7 days.] 】
The first side quest can be regarded as a novice quest, the quest is not too difficult, and the time limit is normal.
Seeing that the completion time limit of side quest two was suddenly extended so much, Gao Xiaoxiao knew that this quest was definitely not as good as last time.
Sure enough, after asking Zhuang Hui, he knew where the three-eyed fish was, and he was told that it was in Luoxia Mountain, which was not easy to enter.
This mountain is only open every year when the Sword Sect Contest is held, and if you want to enter, you must also be a participant in the Sword Sect Competition.
The most basic requirements for participating in the competition clearly say that you must be a beginner sword bearer level 3 to register, and Zhuang Hui's current state of dantian is completely a fool's dream.
After seeing the word three-eyed fish appear on the task panel in front of him, Zhuang Hui's first reaction was silence.
When the task turned green and was in progress, he raised his eyes to look at Gao Xiaoxiao and asked her, "Isn't this task exchangeable?" What happens if it's not done? ”
"Swap? Yes, but it must be before it is picked up. As for the unfinished, the growth value will be reversed, and my artificial system body will also be affected, and I will return to the previous appearance of only a mimic hand. ”
In short, this side quest two, he has to do.
Gao Xiaoxiao knew why Zhuang Hui asked this, it was nothing more than because he didn't have a dantian and couldn't do this task.
But did he forget, she still has a mission mall, and the ten mission points she got last time are still two useless.
I opened the mall and glanced at it, and after seeing an identity camouflage card that happened to be priced at two mission points, Gao Xiaoxiao clicked directly to buy.
"Okay little Aotian, what is the mourning, there are always more ways than difficulties, look at what this is?"
The girl shook the card in her hand, explained the function of this card to Zhuang Hui in detail, and asked him again: "But with this identity, the disguise card is a point, and it is another point to be able to find a disciple of the Sword Sect who is willing to help you." Do you know any friends who can help you keep your secrets? ”
Hearing Gao Xiaoxiao mention the word friend, Zhuang Hui subconsciously wanted to shake his head and veto.
But when his gaze touched the Ling Xiao Sword that he had already scrapped, as if he thought of something, he pursed his lips and nodded.
