Chapter 16: The Present
After a day's hard work, Liu Bajiu rose to the fifth level.
During this time, two new monsters were encountered, one was a fish-man with a fish-headed human body, who was taller than a stick dog, and left behind a corpse that could be used to collect fish meat.
There is also a python, which leaves behind a corpse that can be used to collect snake meat.
Because of the assistance of technical techniques, Liu Bajiu's skills are a lot more flexible, and with the power skills, he can already move around the peach forest, as long as he is not besieged by monsters, there is basically no danger.
However, Liu Bajiu did not go deep into the forest, after all, the situation is unknown, it is better to be cautious.
At night, Liu Bajiu even retreated to the peach forest, at most only fighting monsters on the edge.
Fighting monsters until midnight, Liu Bajiu sat down to rest, after nibbling a cake, he took out a cigarette and lit it and smoked it, looking at the lighter in his hand, Liu Bajiu felt that he could not eat barbecue, the dry cake was too difficult to swallow.
After taking out the dog meat, Liu Bajiu thought about it and put it back in the package, there was no seasoning, so forget it.
The main reason is that Liu Bajiu can't cook, he never thought of eating barbecue before, that is, Liu Bajiu has no concept of cooking by himself at all, he has never cooked by himself since he was a child, at most he chooses vegetables to burn the fire or something, and fights some.
It's better to wait until next time I bring the seasoning, and then bring a pot in and cook it.
The barbecue is likely to be half-cooked, and it is possible that the outside is mushy and the inside is not good, so there is no such problem when it is boiled and eaten.
The experience value of the knife dog is three points, the experience value of the fish man is four points, the experience value of the python is five points, and it takes six thousand experience points to upgrade to level six.
At dawn, he had risen to level six, and looking at the more than 10,000 gold coins in his backpack, Liu Bajiu was full of expectations for entering the game space again tomorrow.
When you reach level seven, you can learn basic swordsmanship, and having skills and not having skills are two different things.
Exiting the game space and lying on the bed for a while, Liu Bajiu felt a little stuffy, although the mountain city in this season is more than 30 degrees during the day, it is still very cool at night, generally about 20 degrees, and there is no air slag outside the window when you get up.
The room is unoccupied all year round, let alone air conditioning, and there is not even an electric fan.
Liu Bajiu went out and turned over a puff fan in the hall.
It alarmed her parents, Wang Lan asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"It's a little hot, find a fan!" Liu Bajiu replied.
"Oh, we have a fan in our room, you can use it, it's going to rain this weather!" Wang Lan said.
"No need, I'll just use a fan, you can blow it, and it will be cool when the rain falls!"
Liu Bajiu's family lives in the middle of the mountain, the forest behind the house has not been cut down for more than ten years, the trees have grown more than ten meters high, and the shade begins at two o'clock in the afternoon at most every day, so the heat is not heavy.
An electric fan is basically enough, and the parents usually go home for the New Year when they do things outside all year round, so they have not installed air conditioning in their rooms.
"I'll drive to town tomorrow and buy you a fan and come back!" Liu Xingguo shouted, which means that you should bear with it tonight!
Liu Bajiu couldn't help but smile, "Okay! ”
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the rain to fall, and after Liu Bajiu opened the window for ventilation, the room immediately became cooler, and as the rain became heavier and heavier, he even felt a little cold, but he just slept with a thin bed.
The next day, after breakfast, the sky was still gloomy, Liu Xingguo who wants to plant sweet potatoes, but there are no sweet potato seedlings at home.
This is easy to do, Liu Xingguo drove a tricycle out and brought back half of the sweet potato seedlings shortly after.
"It's all delicious kind of flowers, just plant some and eat it!" Liu Xingguo said with a smile.
There is no extra land to grow sweet potatoes at home, so they can only be planted on the field, and the corn planted on the field has been out of the ceiling and can be eaten in a month at most.
Now it is just right to plant a set of sweet potatoes, corn can shade sweet potatoes, make sweet potato seedlings easier to survive, and when the corn is harvested, it will not affect the growth of sweet potatoes.
"Do you want to drench in fecal water? I'm going to get the bucket! Liu Bajiu asked.
"No!" Liu Xingguo shook his head and said: "You need to smoke sweet potato vines to feed pigs before drenching manure water, it is enough to plant some grass ash for your own consumption, chemical fertilizer is not needed, grow for half a year, and use some plant ash to grow sweet potatoes big and sweet." ”
The family has not farmed for more than ten years, but my parents will cook on the fire every year when they come home, so they have accumulated a lot of plant ash and piled up a lot of it in the pigsty.
When Liu Bajiu was digging out the ashes, he looked at the pigsty and said, "You can raise two pigs!" ”
"Who feeds, do you feed?" Liu Xingguo pursed his lips and said: "There is something to do on the construction site, we have to go to work, and we can't do without people to raise living things." ”
Liu Bajiu wanted to persuade the old couple not to work so hard, but such empty words were not convincing, after all, the parents worked so hard not because they were not angry.
In the final analysis, you still need to have money to reassure your parents, and it is not the kind of money that you get suddenly, otherwise you just need to ask the old man directly.
Instead, you need a long-term and stable income!
Liu Bajiu is not worried about his future, after all, the game space can give him more than conventional.
But in a short period of time, Liu Bajiu has no way to realize it, and the only thing he can do is dog meat, fish meat, and snake meat.
Do you want to open a butcher shop to sell meat?
After thinking about it, Liu Bajiu still felt unreliable.
It seems that we have to work harder to speed up the progress of the game's exploration, or think of a way to do it in reality.
Use a brick knife to remove the soil and put the sweet potato vine and then press it tightly, even if the sweet potato is planted, two people plant, one person buries the ash, and it doesn't take much time to plant a few sweet potatoes.
In just over two hours, Liu Bajiu came back with some vegetables from his own field and his parents.
At noon, I eat tomato and egg soup, chili fried meat and cold green beans, all of which are grown at home, and the growth period is more than two or three months, which is much better than lettuce.
After eating, Liu Xingguo went out to play cards again, Wang Lan didn't know how to play cards, she watched TV at home, Liu Bajiu accompanied Wang Lan and talked for a while.
Liu Bajiu talked about his work in the past few years, and the friends he met, Wang Lan talked about the changes in the family, the relatives bought a house, the son got married, the daughter married to other places, and the old man of the family passed away.
Liu Bajiu has not been home for more than four years, and the information is very missing, listening to his mother's chatter, there is a sense of vicissitudes.
The world is always changing, and it doesn't change or stay for a moment because of anyone's absence!
