Chapter 16: Childhood Whims
Zhou Qinghai squatted on the ground, using a relatively smooth stone shovel to dig down in a place with more soil, half an hour passed, Zhou Qinghai dug a half-meter-deep relatively round hole, and a circle of mounds of soil was piled up around the hole next to the hole. A cool sensation spread from the feet to the brain, and the brain commanded the eyes to look down, and the water was seeping out little by little from under the hole. Zhou Qinghai jumped out of the pit in disappointment, and then dug in other places. By noon, Zhou Qinghai had already dug four or five potholes in this area with a lot of soil. Zhou Qinghai sat on the pebbles next to the creek to rest. A childhood incident came to Zhou Qinghai's mind. Zhou Qinghai saw a rabbit flash next to him. Three minutes later, Zhou Qinghai pierced the stripped rabbit meat with a broken sword, then lit the dead grass around him with a flint and steel, and broke off a few branches from the trees scattered and growing next to him to roast the rabbit meat. After Zhou Qinghai ate rabbit meat, he used his light skills to the west of the uninhabited valley. A small pool of dozens of square meters appeared in front of Zhou Qinghai's eyes. The small area is covered with a thick layer of mud. Zhou Qinghai squatted down and gently pinched the soil with his hand, and then looked at the clear stream and the fish swimming freely in it. Zhou Qinghai plunged into the waterhole with a fierce son, the waterhole was two meters deep, and Zhou Qinghai dug the mud layer at the bottom of the waterhole with his hands. Three minutes passed, Zhou Qinghai exposed his head from the pool water, took a big breath for half a minute, and then plunged his head into the pool and continued to dig with his hands. Pieces of cement were thrown by Zhou Qinghai from the bottom of the pool to the shore. An hour later, Zhou Qinghai caught a carp weighing more than two catties from the small pool. The carp fluttered its tail and shook its head desperately trying to escape its smooth body from Zhou Qinghai's hands. Zhou Qinghai's powerful right hand firmly grasped the carp.
"It's not that I have to kill you Mr. Carp, I'm doing it for my basic survival, since I won't release you, then I'll let you die a more painful death and reduce the pain of being tortured. ”
Zhou Qinghai's right hand was slightly forced, and when he heard a "click", the two eyes of the carp came out of the skull even more prominently, and the carp's skull was shattered. Zhou Qinghai put down the carp and dipped the cement on the ground into a large piece with both hands. Zhou Qinghai was holding a carp in his left hand and a large piece of cement in his right arm. The leopard is lying on the rocks under the cave, resting and basking in the sun. Zhou Qinghai shouted out to the leopard, and then jumped into the cave. After the leopard looked at Zhou Qinghai, he lay on the stone slab to rest and bask in the sun. Zhou Qinghai put the carp in a clean place next to the stove, and put the deformed cement sandwiched in his arms in the central hall of the stone cave. Zhou Qinghai used his broken sword to divide the cement into squares of different sizes. There are several round stones of various sizes along the creek of the cave. Zhou Qinghai buckled the small clay blocks on the small round stones, and the large clay blocks on the large round stones. Zhou Qinghai kneaded the still soft cement into a circle with both hands with both hands. In the upper part of the round cement, Zhou Qinghai retains a thicker cement. Zhou Qinghai pinched the thick cement in the middle to the edge and also kneaded it into a circle. After Zhou Qinghai pinched one big and three small, he washed his hands in the stream and went to clean up the carp. The internal organs and debris of the carp were thrown out of the cave by Zhou Qinghai from the small hole. There was still an hour before it got dark, and Zhou Qinghai tied up his horse next to the place where he had smoothed the stone wall yesterday, and continued to smooth the stone wall while cultivating the Five Poisons Divine Skill. Another small part of the light is visible. Zhou Qinghai jumped off the cliff, picked up the leopard and jumped into the cave again.
In the morning, Zhou Qinghai wanted to go out for a walk with the leopard, but considering that the leopard had its own life, in order to let the leopard continue the life of a leopard, Zhou Qinghai decided to let the leopard play and hunt in the uninhabited valley during the day.
Zhou Qinghai cleaned up the stove and began to grill the fish, the leopard smelled the fish, salivated around the grilled fish, stretched out his mouth several times to swallow the grilled fish, and swallowed saliva after seeing Zhou Qinghai refuse to clean up.
Zhou Qinghai divided the cooked carp into two parts, half of which was handed to the leopard and half was eaten by himself. The leopard finished the fish in two or three clicks, and then looked at Zhou Qinghai greedily. Zhou Qinghai was still slowly eating the carp, and pushed back the arched leopard's head with his hand. Zhou Qinghai carefully spit out the fish bones into his hands and put them on a small clean stone slab. After Zhou Qinghai finished eating the fish, he began to roast the remaining bison meat. After dinner, Zhou Qinghai continued to repeat his work every night, eating spiders, centipedes, scorpions, poisonous snakes, and toads, and practicing the Five Poisons Divine Skill. The sunlight outside the cave was already shining strongly on the valley, and the inside of the cave began to brighten. Zhou Qinghai, who had enough time, slept lazily today, and then sat up and took a nap. The leopard rubbed around Zhou Qinghai and wanted Zhou Qinghai to come out of the cave with him. Zhou Qinghai slowly picked up the leopard, jumped down after walking to the mouth of the cave, and then jumped to the cave again. Zhou Qinghai walked to the creek and touched the cement with his hand. The cement was already relatively hard, so Zhou Qinghai slowly took the cement off the round stone little by little and took it to the stove. Zhou Qinghai first put the small cement on the stone bar of the stove for barbecue, and when the stone was completely dry and hard, turn off the fire and wait for the cement to cool down, then take it off and put it aside. Zhou Qinghai put the round clay, which was slightly larger than the stove, on the stove and grilled it dry.
"From today on, I, Zhou Qinghai, will have my own pots and bowls, I don't have to lie down on the river by the creek, I don't have to directly use the broken sword to barbecue meat, and I can also drink delicious fish soup, broth, and apple soup. ”
The stone chosen by Zhou Qinghai is relatively smooth, but it still cannot be compared with the artificially made professional bowls and pots. A large pot and three small bowls have left relatively rough pot walls and bowl walls on the surface.
"These pots and bowls are like a farmer standing in front of a fairy compared to the fine iron pots and fine porcelain bowls I have used before, but compared to my life in the uninhabited valley a few days ago, and like a farmer standing in front of a beggar, this is a great improvement for me, and it will change my life greatly again. Zhou Qinghai stroked these four treasures that were more precious to him than gold with his rough hands. remembered the things that made his heart ache. Zhou Qinghai clutched his chest, his eyes released a painful gaze, and his legs trembled violently. "You people are optimistic, I, Zhou Qinghai, are living well here, and when I have the opportunity to go out of the Uninhabited Valley one day, I will take revenge, revenge-" Zhou Qinghai's painful face was full of hatred, and his angry voice was full of murderous aura.
