Chapter 44: Chance Encounter

Xiao Fan saw that the structure of this wooden house was fine, but it seemed that it had not been taken care of for decades, and several peeling places exposed the inner layer of wood, which looked even older.

He knocked on the door and said loudly, "Boy Xiao Fan is here today, I don't know if anyone is in the house?"

As soon as he pushed open the door, the light rolled up a cloud of dust, Xiao Fan covered his mouth and nose to check the scene in the house, only to see that the tables, chairs and furniture were readily available, and there were a few dried and blackened strips of meat hanging on the beams.

After looking at it for a while, there was nothing unusual, Xiao Fan pushed open the inner door and entered the bedroom, except for a wooden bed, there was only an unformed futon on the ground, which showed that the people who lived here were quite miserable.

Xiao Fan thought to himself, "This place should be the residence of those predecessors, and I don't know how many people have changed" and said with a wry smile, "It's my turn Xiao Fan today."

He opened all the windows, made a simple broom out of branches and leaves, and used his coat as a sack to catch water, and cleaned it inside and out.

Xiao Fan built an earthen stove outside the house, made a fire with a portable flint and fire knife, and removed the meat strips on the beam, the outer layer of the bacon was black and yellow, and after peeling it off, the inside was red and white, and a peculiar meat fragrance immediately spread, Xiao Fan knew that this bacon was a traditional delicacy in some regions, and the longer it was put on, the more fragrant it became, and he couldn't bear to roast it on the fire.

After roasting without a cup of tea, I only felt that the smell of oil was full of the smell between my noses, and I grabbed a big bite regardless of the hot hand, but I felt that the fresh fat was incomparable, the white meat was fat but not greasy, the lean meat was more and more fragrant, and the eight hard dishes that Lu Ruier ordered before were not so delicious.

Xiao Fan ate smoothly, regardless of whether the food looked ugly or not, he grabbed it and gnawed it, chewing happily, a yellow-haired little monkey stood not far away and stared at it in a daze, with a mouth full of running water and squeaking non-stop.

"Huh, you want to eat it too?" Xiao Fan said with a smile, who knew that the monkey nodded at him, and took out a huge peach from behind him, meaning to change the meat to eat.

"What a spiritual little guy" Xiao Fan said with a smile, throwing a piece of roasted fragrant bacon over, and the little monkey lifted the piece of meat above his head, chirping in a circle, seemingly extremely happy.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Fan said to the little monkey, "Look at your yellow hair, it is very conspicuous, it is better to call you Ah Huang in the future" The little monkey seemed to understand, and made a grimace at Xiao Fan and ran away.

"So I have a companion..."Xiao Fan said to himself, this was the second night he had spent here, although he had no clue about the second half of the mental method, compared to the night before, his mental state was much better.

On the second day, Xiao Fan found some wet soil, pinched out various pots and bowls, and then put them in the fire to roast, and spread them on the wooden bed with grass, so busy for most of the day, the wooden house was already extremely warm and comfortable, Xiao Fan thought "even if it is not as good as ordinary houses, it is thousands of times stronger than the previous cave" and then went to find a branch of suitable thickness, roasted it straight on the fire, and sharpened it into a harpoon.

When I came to the edge of the cold pool, I saw more than a dozen white fish swimming at the bottom, all of them fat and thick. Xiao Fan wandered the market since he was a child, when he was hungry and thirsty, he did not catch fish and shrimp to satisfy his hunger, and after a while, he forked a fat big white fish, Xiao Fan was overjoyed, cut the fish belly on the spot, washed off the internal organs, and returned to the earthen stove to roast it, and soon the fat fragrance was overflowing, and the eyes were ripe, and the entrance was extremely delicious and smooth (harmonious) and tender, the white fish in this cold pool was born without vision, the meat was fine and (harmonious) tender, but the fish bones were soft and empty, and it was really delicious and tight.

Xiao Fan ate a little half, and found a yellow figure flashing continuously in the corner of his eye, and when he looked up, the little monkey had already arrived, and his body was as fast as a first-class master.

"Ah Huang, you're quite punctual," Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Come on, here you go," he said, tearing off half of the scorched white fish and throwing it over.

The little monkey was not polite, and took it and took it and took a big bite of it, chirping and chirping very happily.

Xiao Fan felt a strong sense of satiety after eating half of the white fish, and he was shocked in his heart, "This white fish seems to be slightly different from ordinary fish" and it is non-toxic, so he doesn't think about it anymore.

After the little monkey ate half of the fish, he took out half of the branch from behind him, and sent it to Xiao Fan with both hands, Xiao Fan smiled and said, "No, no, we are already friends, invite friends to eat and drink without exchanging" Who knew that the little monkey was holding half a branch and did not go, Xiao Fan had to take it, and he felt cold all over his body at the moment of his hand, and looked down at the surface of the branch as if it had been processed and rested, Xiao Fan only said that it was a toy made by a senior disciple who was extremely bored, and did not pay much attention to it, and said to the little monkey" Ah Huang, tomorrow we will catch a goat and roast it, shall we?"

I thought that the monkey must have cheered, but it bared its teeth and roared at Xiao Fan, and at the end it spat at him a few times.... Xiao Fan said, "Uh.... Do you mean not to eat goats?"

The little monkey blinked and nodded with big eyes, pointed to the goat, and shook his hands straight.

Xiao Fan said, "Alas, if you can speak, I don't understand what you mean."

The little monkey touched his head, in short, he pointed to the goat and kept shaking his hand, Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't eat, I'm going to rest if it's not early, you can go back."

The little monkey ran away again, and when he was halfway there, he looked back at Xiao Fan before he disappeared into the woods.

Xiao Fan lay on the grass bed and looked at the starry sky, thinking of Lu Rui'er for a while, and Ji Hao for a while, and fell asleep in a daze. Sleeping until midnight, his eyelids felt faintly flashing, and when he opened his eyes slightly, he saw that the branch reflected the moonlight on the wall, and Xiao Fan's brain jumped up with a buzz under a closer look, and there were a few big words written on the wall:

I am powerless, he is powerless, and I am powerless....

Isn't this the text in the set of mental methods taught by the old monster!
