Chapter 16 Take one step at a time
Gu Chan looked at it and laughed, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"My name is Ma Zheng. I am ten years old. Brother Gu Chan, can you accept me as your little brother? I admire you so much." The little boy named Ma Zheng looked at Gu Chan with stars in his eyes.
After saying that, he knelt directly in front of Gu Chan and kowtowed to her.
Gu Chan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she quickly stretched out her hand to help him up, and said earnestly, "You don't have to kneel down, just call me big brother, and you will be my little brother from now on. Follow my sister... well, follow my brother, and I will ensure that you are popular and drink spicy food in the future. "
"Thank you, brother. I'll go back and come back to you tomorrow."
"Okay, tomorrow you come with me to find Zhao Erniu and learn how to hunt." Gu Chan reached out and touched Ma Zheng's little head, with a look of doting on her face.
In modern times, she had a good relationship with her brother, and they had been fighting since childhood.
Now she looks at Ma Zheng as she looked at her younger brother when she was a child. It is natural for her to be her sister's doting younger brother.
But as a little thing like Ma Zheng, how could he ever have his head touched so tenderly?
Looking at Gu Chan's fair and lovely face, he blushed instantly and said shyly, "Fortunately, you are the boss. If you were a little girl, I would have fallen in love with you."
"Get out!" Gu Chan cursed angrily and quickly took his hand back.
"Hahaha……"
Ma Zheng burst out laughing and ran out the door, then disappeared without a trace.
Gu Chan retracted her thoughts and walked to Zhang Wanshan to comfort him, "Grandpa, don't worry. I just went to worship Zhao Erniu as my disciple. I have stabilized him for the time being. From now on, we only need to concentrate on dealing with the county magistrate."
"How can the county magistrate be so easy to deal with? Where can I find a three-day spiritual grass?" Zhang Wanshan sighed with a tearful face.
Gu Chan was silent, thinking secretly in her heart.
There are now only three redbud and blood-red spiritual grasses that she snatched from the big black bear. In other words, she can survive at least three times without finding other spiritual grasses to replace her.
After giving away these three spiritual herbs, if you still can't find any other spiritual herbs, you can only choose to run away.
Of course, it would be best if other spiritual herbs could be found in time.
In this way, she can keep the redbud and blood red grass in case of emergency.
So now she still has time to learn how to hunt.
After calming down for the time being, Gu Chan explained, "Grandpa, just leave the search for the spiritual grass to me. You can just forge the iron. Tomorrow you carry the knife on your back and go to the town to sell it. By the way, you can buy more food."
"And you?"
"I'm going to learn hunting from Zhao Erniu. I'll learn the skills first, and then I'll be able to navigate the mountains with ease." Gu Chan clenched her fists, with confidence written all over her face.
Seeing this, Zhang Wanshan immediately restrained his pessimism, "Yes, it's just one step at a time. In the worst case, we and I will run away. If we can't run away, grandpa can also put people's heads on his head. Anyway, he is already old and should have died long ago." ”
"Okay, Grandpa, stop being so pessimistic. Believe me, I'm not just a bully."
Zhang Wanshan smiled bitterly and nodded.
After that, he finally cheered up and started to pack up the shop.
At midnight, in the back room.
Gu Chan was lying on the bed, staring at the two loaches in his hands and asked, "Can you see Zhao Erniu's strength?"
[He is only a first-level taijutsu practitioner, and he is considered a new taijutsu practitioner. Maybe you are stronger than him now. 】Loach Baidu said.
Loach Sogou followed up and added, [But having said that, he was originally an Orion, and his hunting skills are definitely strong enough, so it is absolutely right for you to choose to learn this skill from him. 】
Gu Chan breathed a sigh of relief.
Many times, she is also afraid that she will make a wrong choice and cause unnecessary trouble to herself. But judging from the current situation, every step she takes is quite stable. At least Zhao Erniu and others now dare not underestimate her or bully her and Zhang Wanshan easily.
Not wanting to dwell too much on this issue, she instead said, "I will continue to practice physical skills tonight. What do you think I should eat?"
[How about starting with the five elements first. 】
[Yes, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. You ate iron last night, which is regarded as practicing the physical arts and metal elements. You should eat wood for the next four elements. 】
The two loaches came up with something strange.
Without thinking, Gu Chan reached out and lifted a piece of sawdust from the rotten wooden bed under her body, intending to stuff it into her mouth.
Loach Baidu quickly stopped her, "What are you doing? Don't eat randomly!" Last time I gave you a random piece of iron to eat just to test your cultivation method. Now that your cultivation method is set, you can't eat it randomly. 】
"Then how should I eat?"
"Based on your current cultivation situation, the stronger the food you eat, the stronger the physical skills you will gain. So if you want to eat wood, you have to find a top-quality piece of wood to eat, so that the physical skills you gain will be the best." Will be stronger. 】
Gu Chan threw away the piece of rotten sawdust in her hand and closed her eyes to sleep peacefully.
Anyway, I have to learn hunting with Zhao Erniu starting tomorrow. I just want to go into the mountains to see if I can find the best wood to eat. There is no need to rush now.
When the two loaches saw that she was sleeping, they also got into the quilt, lay on her chest and fell asleep.
At dawn the next day, Zhang Wanshan got up early, left with a basket full of knives on his back, and went to the town to sell.
Gu Chan sent her grandfather away, and after Ma Zheng came to find her, she took two steamed buns and went out with her friends.
When the two of them arrived at Zhao Erniu's house, the sun had not yet risen from the east.
Zhao Erniujiu's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li, was sitting in front of the earthen stove in the yard, lighting a fire and cooking.
Unlike the poor Zhang Wanshan family, Zhao Erniu belongs to the local gangsters in the village, and his family is still well off. The couple can eat rice every meal.
Gu Chan and the two walked to Li's side and smelled the aroma of rice wafting from the stove. They couldn't help but swallow saliva in their throats.
It was also at this time that Gu Chan noticed the actual situation of cooking in such a poor small village.
Earth stoves like those at Zhao Erniu's house are made entirely of earth. There is a stove on the left and right, and a large iron pot on each side.
The large iron pot on the left is usually used for cooking rice and stir-fry vegetables, while the large iron pot on the right is usually used for cooking pig food.
When cooking rice in the large iron pot on the left, the rice will be half-cooked and scooped out, then half a pot of water will be added, a wooden cylindrical steamer will be placed in the pot, and the half-cooked rice will be poured into the steamer to steam. Ripe.
I have no hesitation in saying that the rice steamed with this steamer tastes really delicious, and it definitely tastes better than the rice cooked in modern electric rice cookers.
No, just smelling the aroma of rice steaming from the steamer, both Gu Chan and Ma Zheng were salivating.
Seeing the two children like this, Ms. Li couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you two want to eat rice?"
"Think." Ma Zheng blurted out first.
Gu Chan rolled her eyes at him in anger.
Li raised the corners of her lips, stared at Gu Chan with a sly expression, and said, "You can eat if you want, but you have to agree to do something for me."
"..." Gu Chan!
I’m afraid this bitch doesn’t have any good intentions!
When Gu Chan thought about this, she immediately became cautious.
