Chapter 16 Fire

"What are these two guys doing? It's quite rare to be late at the same time. Although he had been waiting for a cup of tea for so long, the tower still did not show any impatience.

After practicing vigorously and lightning for a year, the changes are really obvious, especially the lightning, the body is more than three times larger than when they first met, the steel beak is like a knife, the iron claws are like hooks, and the pair of wings are three or four meters long. The vulture is also a little famous in the grassland, but in front of the lightning, he does not dare to come out, and when he sees him coming from a distance, he quickly turns around and runs, and they all know very well that it is definitely not a wise choice to provoke such a powerful opponent.

"Brother, I grew up eating spicy noodles with you, why are you so heroic, but I am still so obscene?" Lightning's might made even the mighty force a little jealous.

"Dali, that's the importance of genetics, who are my parents? They're the kings of the air, and I'm certainly not far behind. Lightning is proud, "Don't be discouraged, the condensed is the essence, although you are a little shorter, a little thinner, and a little colder-looking, but with our name of 'Three Heroes of the Prairie', it is not a problem for you to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

"You mean that if it weren't for the eldest brother and you to help me, I would have beaten the single, didn't you?" Dali is not happy anymore.

"Some things can't be said too directly, you can understand it in your own heart." Lightning looked unfathomable.

"Judging people by their appearance is very stupid." Dali said angrily, "If a man wants to succeed, he relies on excellent skills, not a face, and my name of 'Desperate Saburo' is genuine, and it can definitely fascinate a large number of little sisters." ”

Tie Ta smiled, the scene of the quarrel between the two a few days ago is still vivid, these two guys are like this, they hurt each other at every opportunity, but they are also used to it, although the ears are not very clean, but it does have a lot of fun.

"Someone! It's on fire, come and put out the fire......" A sudden exclamation interrupted the tower's thoughts, followed by the sound of gongs.

The tower didn't have time to think about it, so he raised his breath and ran towards Niubeiling. To be honest, the voice was a little far away from him, but with his cultivation today, he could still hear it clearly, and the cry for help came from there.

Niubeiling Tower is no stranger, Lao Huang's home is here. For more than half a year, as long as he is at home, he will not forget to water his melon field, although the original promise is two buckets of water, but the whole garden is watered without a dozen buckets of water, where is enough? The honest tower drenched the floor every time, and by the way, filled the kitchen tank. Lao Huang is also very good at being a man, and he will send him a few watermelons every three or five days, and the tower himself is reluctant to eat it, so he took it back to the mountain and gave it all to Lao Ma.

"Could it be that something happened to the old Huang family?" Tie Tower's heart hung up, and he secretly prayed in his heart, "Bodhisattva bless, don't let him have anything." ”

Lao Huang is a good person, but also a hard-working person, no children and no daughters, alone, although there is no worry about food and clothing, but it is inevitable that he is still a little lonely. Lightning and Vigor were diligent with their hands and feet, and their mouths were sweet, and they often made him laugh, and the deserted home became lively. Lao Huang treated them as his grandsons, and if there was anything delicious, he would not forget to call them over, and then he simply packed up a firewood room for them to live in, and the two no longer suffered from sleeping in the open.

The tower was a little worried, after all, these two guys were not the masters of peace, but it turned out that his worries were unnecessary. It turned out that Mr. Bai lived next door to Lao Huang, and there was a half-year-old grandson at home, and the three of them became good friends after coming and going. The children of scholarly families are different, although they have not yet reached the age of going to school, but education must not be sloppy. Teacher Bai has set up a school at home, there are not many students, only one of his grandsons, Lao Xiu uses his free time in the morning and evening to teach, and the little grandson is also very smart, and he has really learned a lot of things. After Dali and Lightning inadvertently eavesdropped on a lesson outside the window, they actually became interested in reading, which was something that the tower did not expect, and it was in response to the sentence: "Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black." ”

Teacher Bai is also very happy, although the grandson is sensible, but he always feels a little lonely in class alone, and the energy of learning is not as good as day by day, the old man is anxious, and he can't imagine that after the vigorous and lightning come, the grandson's enthusiasm for reading is instantly high, which really helps him a lot. Teacher Bai teaches them according to their aptitude, not only teaches them to read and write, but also teaches them how to get along with others.

The old Huang family was safe and sound, and the tower breathed a sigh of relief, but he was immediately taken aback, and the smoke behind the hillside was soaring, and the fire was blazing, as if it were ...... It seems to be Mr. Bai's house. The tower rushed over to take a look, and he didn't guess wrong, it was the old house of Teacher Bai's family! At this time, many people are desperate to put out the fire, and lightning and vigor are among them. Although there were many people fighting the fire, the effect was not ideal, because their equipment was so rudimentary, how could they do it with only tree branches?

At this time, there was just a gust of wind, and the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and even the bushes behind the house were burning, and if the fire could not be extinguished here, this large area of dwellings would be burned.

"Everybody, get out of the way!" Tie Ta shouted, lifted a bucket of water and splashed it out, the half-human-high bucket contained seventy or eighty catties of water, coupled with his abundant internal force, a thick water dragon pounced violently, pressing the fire under him and beating violently, the fire suddenly weakened a lot.

The tower took advantage of the victory and poured several other buckets of water on it, and after only three buckets of water, the house collapsed with a "plop" and the fire was extinguished. As for the danger behind the house, it is not so serious, the slope has just burned, the fire is not very big, and two buckets of water can be easily poured. The tower did not dare to be careless, and broke a handful of branches to beat the smoking place again, and then called it a day after making sure that there was no possibility of re-ignition, and a disaster was finally eliminated.

"Thank you, Tower." People came forward to say thank you.

"Don't thank me alone, it's the result of everyone's joint efforts." The tower said modestly.

"Iron Tower, do you have the ability to be a prophet of the unknown? Why do you still have six buckets of water with you? A pangolin asked, who usually likes to stay at home and doesn't pay much attention to the news outside.

"You're really uninformed." Lao Huang scoffed at his ignorance, "This is used for the practice of the iron tower, and he also helps me water the melon field in the summer!" ”

"You stinky boy, you actually caused such a big disaster, and now the house has been burned down by you, where will we live in the future?" Teacher Bai angrily twisted a little boy's ear and scolded.

"Wow!" The child cried aggrievedly.

"Teacher Bai, don't beat Xiaobai." Lightning and Dali guarded him left and right, "The two of us also have a share, if we want to fight, we will fight together." ”

The tower was angry, he had an ominous premonition before he came, but he didn't expect it to be the trouble of the two of them, it was really three days without hitting the house and revealing the tiles, this time he had to teach them a good lesson.

"Alas!" Teacher Bai sighed, his face was full of sadness, building a house is not a trivial matter, his son and daughter-in-law are all working in the field, and they will definitely not be able to come back for a while, how can they complete this arduous task when they are old?

"Tell me honestly, what the hell happened?" The Tower's tone was very harsh.

"Big brother, Xiaobai heard that we were cultivating, so he was also moved and pestered us to participate. When I saw that his body was so thin, how could he bear that kind of suffering? In desperation, I had to lie to him that the apprentice was to give gifts, hoping to dispel his thoughts. Said vigorously.

"Today, Xiaobai went to the field to dig up a few taro, and we decided to roast it before eating it, because eating raw ones will make you numb." Lightning then said, "We have agreed that each person will eat one and give you all the rest, which will be regarded as an apprenticeship." ”

Xiaobai took out three black taro from his pocket, and said dejectedly: "It's a pity that they are all burnt." ”

The tower was very moved, although taro is not a precious thing, but their heart is precious, it is really a blessing to have such a friend. He stuffed the taro into his mouth and praised it as he chewed it: "It's delicious, it's the best taro I've ever eaten in my life." "This is what he really said, and he is definitely not lying.

"Then the taro was cooked, and we said we wanted to eat it first, so we sat outside and ate it. I remember very well that I did put out the fire, but for some reason the kitchen suddenly got smoke and it caught fire. Xiaobai was very puzzled.

The tower understood that it was most likely that they did not completely extinguish the fire, which caused the fire.

"Teacher Bai, don't worry, I'll leave the matter of building a new house to me." After the snacks were eaten, the tower certainly didn't forget to get down to business.

Teacher Bai was grateful and surprised, "You still build a house?" ”

"Don't worry! Completion is guaranteed before dark. "There is a set of "Luban Book" in Master's wooden box, and the iron tower has long been ripe, not to mention a small wooden house, even a palace can't be difficult for him, as for the raw materials, it's easier, there are baobab trees all over the mountain.

The people in the mountains are simple, all the neighbors have come to help, the construction site is bustling, and the new house was completed a full hour earlier than the tower expected.

"The living room, the study, the dining room, that's grandpa's room, this is my room. Wow! It's so big, I can do somersaults in it. Xiaobai jumped up happily.

Lightning and Dali looked envious, and even regretted a little: "Why didn't you burn the old Huang family's house?" Knowing this, I roasted taro at his house, so that we also had a new house to live in. ”

"Xiaobai, I'll discuss something with you." After brewing for a long time, Lightning finally mustered up his courage.

"What's the matter?"

"Can I sleep in your room?"

"We're good friends, of course." Xiaobai agreed very simply.

"Xiaobai, what about me?" Vigorously is not willing to be left behind.

"As for your ......," Xiaobai hesitated, "It's not that you can't, but you must take a bath frequently and pay attention to hygiene." ”

"Don't worry, I'll wash it well." Pat your chest vigorously and promise.

"Xiaobai, vigorously, lightning, you all have to remember that fire is indispensable in our lives, it can bring light and warmth, but everything has two sides, there will be a good side and a bad side, if we are careless, fire will bring us disaster and pain, don't treat fire as a toy, you must make sure that it is completely extinguished before you can leave, remember?" Before leaving, the tower did not forget to tell them again and again.

"We got it." The three of them stood in front of the new house in a row, watching their respected eldest brother leave.

"Tower, don't be in a hurry." Teacher Bai caught up, "If you have time, come and teach them two classes a week, you are very knowledgeable and prestigious, it is the most suitable to be their teacher." ”

"No problem." Tie Ta readily agreed, "In addition to taking cultural classes, I will also teach Xiaobai to cultivate, you won't feel distressed, right?" ”

"I can't ask for it." Teacher Bai is full of smiles, it is definitely a wise choice to hand over his grandson to the iron tower, he is a showman, his son is a lifter, Xiaobai may become the champion in the future, at that time, our Lao Bai family can really be regarded as a scholarly family, as for cultivation, it depends on Xiaobai's perseverance, to be honest, I am not optimistic about him, after all, it is not our family's tradition to dance knives and guns.

The tower ran to the river to refill the water, and then returned to the mountain humming a tune.

"I'm a little late today!" The old horse laughed.

"Master, today I became a carpenter." The tower recounted what had happened in the morning.

"Chivalrous and righteous, not bad!" Lao Ma nodded and praised, "This is what we martial arts students should do." ”
