Chapter 7 Rye Mushroom
In the dead of night, Li Qing once again came to the polar night world.
The blood-colored moon hanging high in the sky seems to have remained unchanged forever, and the temperature is still so cold. You must wear cotton clothes when traveling.
In Obsidian City, Li Qing placed more than twenty forged cutting knives in the yard, and then continued to stand on the side.
This time the stance lasted longer than any other time before. In conjunction with the ancient master's method of regulating his breath, he lasted for nearly an hour.
If you had stood for too long in the past, your legs would feel a little numb, but this time, your energy and blood flowed extremely smoothly, and your whole body felt very comfortable.
“Hoo!”
After resting for a while, Li Qing began to perform standing exercises in the courtyard. Even in the polar night world where the flow rate was three times the speed at this time, he I can't bear to waste every minute and every second.
Li Qing felt that this time in the polar night world passed extremely fast, and nearly half a day slipped away in a blink of an eye.
However, he did not feel tired at all. His energy was still quite full, and his waist and legs were full of strength.
But even if he wanted to continue practicing, his stomach allowed it.
The progress of Zhuang Gong has been quite effective, followed by a huge increase in appetite.
After eating nearly two dinners in the military camp, he felt hungry very quickly. He needed to replenish energy. Every cell in his body seemed to be craving for food.
"Alas, I can only eat some rye mushrooms to fill my stomach." Li Qing sighed, really not wanting to experience the special taste of the aftertaste.
He has accumulated some rye mushrooms at home, which were left over from his previous transactions with the Yan family. He has helped the Yan family forge farm tools more than once, and the other party always used rye mushrooms in transactions. .
This rye mushroom is good for everything, easy to preserve, easy to eat, and easy to cook. But the only thing was that it tasted bad. Li Qing, who had gotten rye mushrooms for the first time, cooked a large pot of them because of the freshness. However, after tasting them, he almost couldn't help but vomited out his intestines and stomach.
It looks like moldy wheat flour, sour and astringent, making it difficult to swallow.
In the warehouse, Li Qing, who looked slightly ugly, took a bunch of leftover rye mushrooms and threw them into the pot again.
These rye mushrooms have been here for nearly a year, but they look the same as freshly cut ones. This is the advantage of being easy to preserve.
"How about getting some food to sell here in the future, and practice some powerful martial arts?" Li Qing suddenly came up with a bold idea.
But soon, he gave up this idea.
“No, it’s hard to explain the origin of the food, and it’s easy to be noticed. At least I have to wait until I have a certain ability to protect myself before I can resell some on a small scale.”
“At least I have to practice. Come on, otherwise I won't be able to deal with three or five strong men now, and this kind of transaction must be secretive, and my identity needs to be hidden."
"Before that, I can inquire about this a little bit. Is there anything unique in the world?”
As the iron pot continued to heat up, Li Qing allowed his inner thoughts to wander.
Soon, he set three goals for himself.
First, become a master of external strength as soon as possible. Whether you are trying to escape from the military camp or making plans in this world, you cannot do without becoming stronger.
No one will talk to the weak about fairness. This is a world without laws. If you want to avoid being eaten by others, you have to become stronger.
Second, you can make preliminary inquiries about some situations in this world, such as whether there are some unique things that are not valuable here but are valuable in the other world.
It has been a long time since he came to this world. In fact, Li Qing has never left the street where he lives.
The only information he knows so far is that this is a cold dark night world. There may have been a sun, but it has not appeared for a long time.
The small city he is in is called Obsidian City. There are many rye mushrooms planted outside the city, but the land belongs to the Yan family, which is the largest force in Obsidian City. Beyond that, nothing is known. Now that he has reflected on it, he only feels that his behavior is too inappropriate. If he does not understand the environment in which he lives, he may be affected by unexpected disasters and even die.
The third thing is to escape as soon as possible from the border fortress where the war is about to break out. He is in the military camp and feels restricted everywhere. Even entering the polar night world, he has to be timid. Unable to take full advantage of both worlds.
Thinking about this, Li Qing unexpectedly felt that his thinking had become much clearer and sharper now.
"Huh, this is one of the benefits of practicing martial arts. When the body becomes stronger, the blood supply to the brain will be strong and sufficient, and the mind will become sharp and flexible. Of course, it may be that I am too hungry."
Li Qing muttered to himself, and then took out the cooked rye mushrooms.
Cooking rye mushrooms is actually very simple. Just add some water and heat it, and they will be cooked quickly.
The scalding food was emitting heat in the cold air. As it gradually cooled down, Li Qing frowned and started to eat.
Extremely sour! Hard to swallow!
Even though he was starving to death, he still felt that the food in his mouth was dregs and did not become delicious.
He did not taste the taste of the rye mushroom carefully. He stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it for a while, and swallowed it.
After eating a whole pot in a row, his hunger was finally completely relieved.
But there was still a strong sourness in his mouth, which made him feel nauseous, as if what he had just eaten was like a pile of cotton wool
"Gulu gulu~"
After taking a few gulps of water, Li Qing stood up and prepared to start practicing Zhanzhuang again with great enthusiasm.
Just after he got into his stance, there was a slow knock on the door.
Dong dong dong!
"Master Li, are you at home?"
The voice sounded a bit old, and Li Qing immediately identified who it was. It should be the family named An who lived across the street.
It was supposed to be a family of four. It is said that due to an accident, the couple died outside Obsidian City, leaving only an old man and a young child.
Li Qing put away his practicing posture, then walked slowly to the courtyard door and opened it.
I saw an old man with sparse silver hair and skinny bones standing outside the door.
This is the first time Li Qing has seen such a thin person. His eye sockets are deeply sunken, and he looks like a skeleton.
Even the dying old master looked much healthier than the old man in front of him. Li Qing was a little suspicious that the old man might fall apart in the next second.
Old Man An was holding a deformed iron pot, looking at Li Qing with a pleading look on his face, and said, "Master Li, can you help me repair this iron pot?"
Li Qing lowered his eyebrows and glanced at it. This iron pot must have been smashed intentionally, probably by Yan San.
He withdrew his gaze and said, "Okay."
As Old Man An said, he brought out a small bag of rye mushrooms and said with a troubled expression: "We don't have much food at home. , I don’t know if these are enough.”
Li Qing, who had just eaten the rye mushrooms and felt nauseated, could not help but twitch his brows. He said, “Take these rye mushrooms back, I will I have something to ask you, just answer it.”
This old man An seems to be quite young. He has lived for such a long time and knows more about the world than himself. However, we can learn from him some basic information about the current Obsidian City and the Extreme Night World.
"How can this be done?" Old Man An felt a little embarrassed, thinking that the other party was looking at him for pity.
Li Qing said calmly and calmly: "Let's talk after we come in."
