Chapter 18: The First Sight of Life
It was late, Miss Qu hadn't come back yet, Norton picked up his heavy sword and was about to go out to look for it, but was stopped by Li Wen.
Until the middle of the night, someone pushed the door and came in lightly to the bed, to go to bed.
Through a curtain, Li Wen, who was still holding a book and reading by candlelight, coughed.
Qu Dongnan said softly: "Don't worry. ”
"I'm just curious, what kind of boy can make Mr. Qu linger until midnight. "Li Wen is full of sourness.
Qu Dongnan laughed: "It's a character you can't afford to mess with, don't think about it." ”
Li Wen snorted.
"I didn't go to Fenghua Xueyue, I saw a sister. ”
"There's no need to lie. ”
"yes, there's no need to lie. ”
"Truth be told, no one blames you. ”
"yes, it's the truth. ”
"Sleep!"
Qu Dongnan lay down, and on the other side of the curtain, Li Wen also packed up his books and lay down, and through a curtain, both of them stared at each other, and they didn't feel sleepy.
Qu Dongnan suddenly couldn't help laughing, and then stared at the ceiling thoughtfully.
The next day, he was still very busy, but Li Wen only explained his diagram and size to the blacksmiths in the county, and ran back to Moon Castle with the newly purchased "First Glimpse of Magic".
The Moon Fort was noisy and overcrowded.
The big people who came in and out, hugged each other, talked to each other, and the etiquette was cumbersome.
The gaze they occasionally cast on Li Wen was inevitably a little disdainful, and Li Wen's coarse cloth clothes revealed his identity, a civilian.
Or rather, untouchables.
No one paid any attention to him.
Li Wen didn't care about the contempt of others, he held this exercise in his hand, and was eager to find a quiet place to study it.
The desire for magic and vindictiveness can no longer be suppressed.
Before, Li Wen had tried to cultivate Dou Qi, but it was not smooth, and after Norton and Li Huanhuan cultivated the first trace of Pale Dou Qi successively, he felt that a magician might be what the camp needed the most.
He decided to practice magic first.
After thinking about it, Li Wen carried this "First Glimpse of Magic", carried a small ear pot, and ran to the Mulan River.
The graceful and colorful Mulan River flows here, and the amount of water has increased a lot, reaching a width of dozens of meters. But the water is still clear, and you can see schools of fish playing underneath.
Li Wen found a dead tree, sat on it, and opened the book "A First Glimpse of Magic".
A new and fascinating world that belongs to a magician suddenly opens up to him.
While intoxicated, Li Wen didn't notice that a few anglers on the river beach suddenly disappeared.
Even a small fishing boat on the river went downstream.
The surroundings were quieter, and a person, walking along the river beach in a relaxed and comfortable manner, sat under a large willow tree dozens of meters away, and also took out a book to read.
With a light breeze, both of them watched attentively, and an hour passed quickly.
At this time, Li Wen rubbed his eyes and glanced into the distance by the way.
Of course, the man was very conspicuous, or more precisely, very dazzling, and where she was, even the sky lost its color.
Li Wen only glanced at it, and was shocked by her peerless beauty.
He couldn't understand that a person who was so beautiful that everything around her lost its luster.
The girl was casually wearing a blue flower dress on a white background, plain and elegant, with black hair like a waterfall, bound by a string of pearls, a white and chubby person, tall and plump, a face, flawless and pure, clear and beautiful.
"Wow......"
Li Wen, who has mixed the two worlds, can't help but admire the magic of creation.
He stared at it for a little long, and the beauty frowned slightly, raised her head a little angrily, and stared at him.
Li Wen was even more shocked by the scenery in front of him, his heart moved, and he couldn't take his eyes off at all, and for a moment, the two of them kept looking at each other.
In the girl's impression, the boys who can look at themselves for so long have not yet been born, and they will be ashamed of themselves, or pretend to be high, and avoid them early.
This kid is good, not only is he full of interest, but he actually took the broken book and came over with a sneer.
"Hello, my name is Li Wen. ”
Li Wen took out a hand, and then realized that this world is not happy to shake hands, so he took it back.
The beauty ignored his presence at all, lowered her head and continued to read.
Li Wen hesitated, pointed to the big stone beside her, and said, "Can I sit here and read, as soon as the sun turns, my side is a little dazzling."
The girl ignored him.
Li Wen sat down by himself, then opened the book "A First Glimpse of Magic", and continued to read.
The beauty was restless.
I don't know where her books came from, but I opened them one after another, and finally found one that was right for my appetite, spread it out on my lap, and while reading, I took out many small snacks, preserved fruits, pastries, meat jelly, a mess of a lot.
From time to time, I picked up a piece, put it in my mouth, and chewed it with relish.
As soon as Li Wen fell into the world of magic, he was no longer distracted, and only the sound of him gently turning the pages and the sound of the girl chewing could be heard under the tree.
After a long time, the girl glanced at Li Wen in surprise.
After a long time, the girl was really curious and looked at the book in his hand. Immediately, the corners of her mouth curved, obviously this "First Glimpse of Magic" that she had read when she was a child, and she was really happy to hold it in the hands of a young man.
The thin volume of "A First Glimpse of Magic" was seen by Li Wen from the beginning to the end, and then turned from the end to the head, and then he raised his head, and his eyes did not fall on the girl, but naturally fell on a few books beside her.
His eyes immediately straightened.
Li Wen was sure that he had read every book in Ping'an County, but he had never found this "Theory of the History of Magic".
This world is still in the Middle Ages, and books are all manuscripts, and books are expensive and scarce.
The few books thrown at the girl's feet, whether bound or paper, were not on the same level as those in the bookstore, and were several levels higher.
Moreover, this "Theory of the History of Magic", which has been mentioned in several books he has read before, is a very helpful and very important book for the cultivation of magic, and he searched all the bookstores in the county town, but he did not find it.
The strong desire made his eyes light up, and without a trace of hesitation, he spoke directly.
"This young lady, can I borrow your book?"
Before the beauty squeaked, a deep cold snort next to her, like heavy thunder, smashed into Li Wen's heart.
Rumble......
Li Wen almost fell headlong, his face suddenly turned pale, and when he turned his head, he was a hundred meters away, and I don't know when, there was an extra white-haired old man.
The old man was dressed in a purple robe, not angry and arrogant, and the endless momentum spread from his body, and every trace of air by the river instantly became extremely heavy, pressing Li Wen's bones slightly, and he just wanted to kneel.
He gritted his teeth and insisted, his eyes slightly raised, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Sir, I have no intention of disturbing, I just want to borrow this book to take a look." ”
The old man was extremely majestic, robed all over his body, and moved without wind.
The girl suddenly spit out the sour plum kernel gently, and with a snap, the kernel fell to the ground, and the boundless pressure disappeared without a trace.
She glanced at him, and the person in front of her could see through it at a glance, without a trace of magic fluctuations in his body, let alone a trace of fighting spirit, just an ordinary civilian.
But these eyes, as someone said, are very special, I can't say what is special, but they are different from those people she has come into contact with, whether it is Wang Tinggongzi or a young general, they don't have such eyes, such eyes.
Calm, confident, clear.
The beauty lowered her head, picked up a piece of meat jelly, put it in her mouth, and continued to read.
Li Wen's whole body was sour, knowing that the other party was by no means an ordinary person, with such a powerful guard, her identity was at least above the county lord's thousand catties.
He wanted to leave, but the great enthusiasm for the book stopped him.
Then, very casually and naturally, he stretched out his hand, took the book "History of Magic" at Wang Xiu's feet, said thank you, and couldn't wait to read it.
The girl was a little surprised, frowned slightly, ignored him, picked up the raisins, and put them in her mouth to chew.
The old man, a hundred meters away, moved his eyebrows.
At the same time, the air fluctuated slightly.
The Mulan River is flowing quietly with clear waves.
In the green willows by the river, there are waterfowl chirping pleasantly.
Li Wen was fascinated by it.
Although this "Theory of the History of Magic" is about the history of the development of magic, many of the basic knowledge involved in it made him thoroughly understand the basic principles of magic.
Whether it is a spell or a magic pattern fingering, it is necessary to construct a point that can attract the qi of the surrounding heaven and earth, and the energy of this point is the key to the formation of magical power.
Just like an atomic collision and explosion, what the magician has to do is to create two atoms that can collide and explode.
Closing the book, Li Wen realized that it was already afternoon.
Unknowingly, the two of them sat opposite each other for more than four hours.
He glanced at the beautiful women around him. The girl was still immersed in her book, and her face was happy, and she was eating the pastries when she had eaten all the preserved fruits and raisins.
From the beginning to the present, she has never stopped her mouth, and her little mouth has been grunting and eating.
No wonder she's white and fat, this is a gluttonous girl.
Li Wen watched her eat, and he was hungry himself.
He put down the book, thanked him, and ran over, took out the pot from under the dead tree, washed it, filled it with water, and made a fire.
Then he ran to the river, turned over the big rocks, caught the crayfish below, and with good luck, caught two yellow loaches and a few small white fish.
Scrape and wash, throw it into a boiling pot, and run down the hill to find some wild soybeans.
At the end of July, the wild soybeans are already full of pods, and it is a good time to eat edamame. I washed it with just river water and threw it into the pot.
Finally, salt, a little chili pepper, and two cloves of green garlic.
The chili pepper was specially brought by Li Wen.
I didn't put more chili peppers, I was afraid that the gluttonous beauty wouldn't be able to stand it. Li Wen felt that he had read other people's books for a long time, and it was reasonable to invite a gluttonous girl to eat.
Ever since he had taken out the pot and gone about his work, the girl had not been able to read the book, and her eyes had been staring at him all the time, and her eyes were full of clear appetite.
Goodo......
The original fish is boiled in the source, and it is the most original delicacy.
The fish pot is ready, and there is a fresh fragrance, floating slightly by the Mulan River.
The girl swallowed her saliva and threw down the book of poems.
"It's so fragrant, it's time to eat, but I haven't eaten yet. ”
She said seriously.
