Chapter Twenty-Five: Preparing to Leave
The mountain is now bare, and in addition to the cave where they live, there are still things to hide in the cemetery.
Careless.
She should have put things out after the transformation and learning, and now she has to find a reason to move things back, and she feels like she is lifting a stone and shooting herself in the foot.
She picked and picked up things, and finally returned to the cave door with only half a catty of jerky, six clothes, two bamboo tubes, a firewood knife, two bowls, and a clay pot.
These things were taken out and went directly to 1063 energy value, and there were only 79 energy points left in the conversion pool, which was a brush, a clay pot and 28 bamboo tubes.
If Li Xiuyuan asked about his brush.
That's off.
When you earn money later, you can buy it for him.
Anyway, there is no inkstone, and there is no ink block, what are you doing with a brush.
Bai Xia's mood is a little lighter, compared to the previous three meals without a start, the conversion pool is the timely rain in this dry weather, although the lack of water has not been solved, but after having food, are you still afraid that you can't change the water?
People don't just need to drink water.
More need to eat.
Ordinary poor people can't change it, and rich families always have hope.
Lijia Village can't be changed, Chenjia Village, Zhangjia Village, Wangjia Village, there will always be a place that can be changed.
But how to change it has to be well planned.
Bai Xia's strength is not small, but this body is still just a child.
I took these things and walked around in the sun, sweating profusely.
I haven't taken a shower for more than ten days, I haven't wiped my body, and I still have a smell of sweat on my body, but maybe I'm used to smelling it, and I actually feel that it's bearable.
When Bai Xia arrived at the cave, he didn't see Li Xiuyuan's people outside, and when he entered the cave, he saw him sitting cross-legged on the ground, and a book was spread out in front of him.
And Li Xiuyuan is already stupid.
He only has one book.
It is a three-character scripture.
Now, the book is still there, but the words are gone.
Bai Xia's face stiffened again, and he put down the things as if he didn't know what to do, and said to Li Xiuyuan: "What are you doing?" ”
Li Xiuyuan stretched out his finger and pointed to the book on the ground, his voice trembling.
"The book, the words on the book, the words are gone"
He had never encountered such a strange thing, and if he didn't only have a book, he would have thought he had taken it wrong, but this is his book, and even the marks of the worn edges are exactly the same.
"Not only that, but my brush is gone"
Speaking of this, Li Xiuyuan cried a little.
"Sanya, do you say that we disturbed the ancestors in the cemetery, so the ancestors changed all the words in my book?"
Bai "Ancestor" Xia secretly wiped his hands on the clothes behind his back, and then said seriously: "What nonsense are you talking about, Ancestor will only bless us, why do you want to change the words in your book?" ”
"Could it be, could it be that my ancestors were afraid that I didn't have the paper to practice calligraphy, so they changed the words so that I could write silently?"
Li Xiuyuan boldly assumed.
Bai Xia was silent.
Seriously, boy, I won't accept the pot, so I'll serve you.
"Then why don't you rewrite it?"
Anyway, there are no words, and I can practice words and review my homework when I write them silently.
"But...... My pen is gone, too...... There is no ink" Li Xiuyuan lowered his head, and his eyes secretly turned red.
"My mother is gone, no one will buy me pen and ink anymore, wow"
After a few days of exile and the loss of his mother, Li Xiuyuan finally couldn't hold it back, and cried wow, a little person, holding his knees with both hands, burying his head in his knees, crying pitifully.
It was only a few days, but it seemed like a few years had passed, and both children had suffered a great sin.
Bai Xia is a little better, he is an adult in his body, even if this day is difficult, he has survived for so many days.
"Cry, it's good when you're done crying"
Bai Xia patted his head, then went out to set up a stove, poured out half of the water in the last bamboo tube, and put the dried meat in it and boiled it for a while.
"Come, eat, after eating, I'll go around and see if I can find your brush, you can memorize and practice calligraphy in the cave, and when it's night, we'll go home."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and ate silently.
Bai Xia too, ate in three or two, checked his belongings, and then pretended to go out to find a brush, but in fact he went to the other side of the mountain, determined that Li Xiuyuan couldn't see the place, and then took the firewood knife and smashed the ground one by one, and finally smashed out a small mound with great effort.
She put her hand on the mound and opened the conversion pool.
Successfully transformed, gain Energy Value*2.
Sure enough, soil can be converted into energy value, but the conversion efficiency is a bit low, and only one pound of soil can be converted into 1 energy value.
And because of the drought, the ground is very hard, and the soil is not easy to obtain.
She took a firewood knife and cut down a tree, and the tree that was dried up was about ten catties, and she was transformed to gain 10 points of energy.
Combined with the energy she had gained before, she now had 91 energy points.
Bai Xia looked at the surrounding trees with some pity, just tossing for a while, her mouth was already dry, if the water source was sufficient, she could have spent time cutting down all the trees in this mountain forest, compared with the dry and hard soil, which was particularly laborious to dig up, the speed of cutting down the trees would undoubtedly be faster.
Bai Xia didn't try much, looked at the sky, it was still a long time before it was dark, and she didn't dare to waste her strength, so she had to go back to the cave.
When Bai Xia came back, he was still practicing calligraphy.
There was silence all day.
She touched his head and put things together.
"Are we leaving?" Li Xiuyuan looked up at Bai Xia, his eyes were still red.
Even if the two of them have meat to eat in the past few days, their faces are much worse than before, coupled with the lack of water, the lips of both of them are chapped, and seeing Bai Xia packing up his things at this moment, Li Xiuyuan realized something.
"yes, when it gets dark, we'll go home again."
When I left, I still had iron pots at home, and some buckets and jars.
Of course, she didn't expect the buckets and jars to still be there, the buckets would definitely be burned out in the fire, and as for the jars and clay things, they were only afraid that they would be blown up in the fire.
But such a big iron pot, even if it is burned by fire, it can be a very large pile of scrap iron, and a firewood knife can be exchanged for 258 energy value, so a big pot, how can it also have 500 energy value, right?
Cutting down trees in the mountains is too strenuous, not only physically demanding, but also potentially water-intensive, and it is possible to suffer from heat stroke.
But when you go home and pick up the rags, it's not too difficult.
In addition to these, there are kitchen knives at home.
From home, I was shunned from the Lin family.
Two kitchen knives, plus sickles, hoes and other things with iron, how can you save thousands of energy points.
Bai Xia had a calculation in his heart, wishing that it would get dark immediately, so that he could go back and catch all these things.
