Chapter 3 If You Can Become a Master
Before following Jiang Xiaorou back home, it was difficult for Yi Yun to imagine that this "home" was actually the scene in front of him.
Originally, when Yi Yun saw the swordsman riding a giant beast, he guessed that there might be many masters in this different world who could escape from the sky. That way, there should be big families all over the place, there are many sects, and there are many outstanding talents.
He has traveled through inexplicably. If he can be related to certain big families and sects, then even if he has never practiced martial arts, his talent is not good, or he is just a sidekick, he is very unpopular, but at least he can barely get along. Day, do not worry about food and clothing.
But……
Seeing the dilapidated house in front of him, Yi Yun was really drunk.
Yi Yun had also been to remote villages before, and had seen the houses there, but compared to the houses in front of him, they were far from enough to see.
This house is made of stone and yellow mud. The family is very poor. There is nothing but a table, two stools, two old beds and a stove.
Jiang Xiaorou carried Yi Yun into the house. Yi Yun was not used to being carried by a little girl along the way. He struggled a few times, but his body was too weak. After walking for a long time, he was exhausted and out of breath. He was carried by Jiang Xiaorou again.
Thinking of himself, a big man, being carried all the way by a little girl, Yi Yun felt a little ashamed.
"Yun'er, are you hungry..." Jiang Xiaorou put Yi Yun on a small wooden bed, wiped the sweat from her face, but her face was full of joy. Her brother was alive, and she was naturally happy.
Yi Yun looked at Jiang Xiaorou's back, her clothes were soaked with sweat and wet. Although she was thin and light in weight, there was still a three-to-five mile journey. Jiang Xiaorou was only fourteen or fifteen years old. How can it be easy to walk for a while.
If it were a fifteen-year-old girl on earth, let alone walking so far behind her back, walking three or five miles empty-handed would be exhausting.
"Um... yes... a little bit."
Yi Yun opened his parched lips. This was the first time he had spoken since he crossed into this world. He thought it would be difficult to speak in a language that did not belong to him, but he didn't expect that speaking this language would be like speaking Mandarin. , as if it were also his native language.
"I'm going to cook." Jiang Xiaorou smiled sweetly, carefully wiped the dirt on Yi Yun's face with her sleeve, then pulled a pillow for Yi Yun to lean against, and then pulled a thin quilt, carefully laying it down. Yi Yun was covered, her hands and feet were quick and her movements were gentle, making Yi Yun a little dazed for a while.
This girl was not his sister at all, but she carried herself all the way and took care of him meticulously, which made him feel a warmth in his heart.
Jiang Xiaorou was going to make a fire to cook, but Yi Yun wanted to help, but Jiang Xiaorou pressed him on the bed.
"You are recovering from a serious illness, don't suffer from the cold, lie down carefully, and sister will come when you go."
Jiang Xiaorou said, and picked up a light grain bag.
Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Xiaorou placed the dilapidated wooden table in front of the bed. On the wooden table was a large bowl of rice porridge, two unknown wild fruits, and a bowl of boiled wild vegetables.
Yi Yun had been hungry for several days before, and his chest had already been pressed against his back. Seeing this meal, Yi Yun felt that his stomach was full of sour water.
At this time, Yi Yun really wanted to eat a meal of braised pork, some kind of roast chicken, roast duck, boiled fish, just thinking about the taste, Yi Yun's stomach twitched.
I'm so hungry, how can I be full by eating these?
He opened his mouth and took a mouthful of rice porridge. The rice porridge was not too thin, but he couldn't hold back Yi Yun's empty stomach. The hot rice porridge stimulated the peristalsis of Yi Yun's stomach and made people feel even more hungry. .
After a few mouthfuls, he drank half of the rice porridge, and then ate some boiled wild vegetables that didn't even have an oil star. The wild vegetables were astringent and bitter, even if Yi Yun was very hungry, he still found it hard to swallow.
Yi Yun felt that he couldn't eat such an unpalatable meal. At this time, he noticed that Jiang Xiaorou was just looking at him,
He didn't eat at all, he asked with some doubts: "Why don't you eat?"
"I ate it, I ate it when I went to look for you." Jiang Xiaorou's face turned pale, and she bit her lip as she spoke.
Yi Yun's heart skipped a beat. He remembered that when Jiang Xiaorou came to the cemetery, it was just before three o'clock in the afternoon, so he would eat at that time?
He suddenly realized that even this kind of food is usually out of control.
What kind of world is this, why are there powerful warriors who ride wild beasts like that, but there are poor people who are so poor that they starve to death?
Yi Yun pushed the rice porridge and stood up to look at the grain bag in the corner of the room. Sure enough, the grain bag was empty.
Yi Yun suddenly understood that the rice porridge that Jiang Xiaorou usually boils is probably much thinner than this. Today, Jiang Xiaorou has just made a thicker porridge because she has just come back to life and feels that her body is too weak. body".
"I'm full, you can eat it." Yi Yun pushed the rice porridge to Jiang Xiaorou. First, he couldn't eat it, and secondly, he couldn't let a girl save food for him.
He felt a little emotional in his heart. He was still thinking about coming to this different world and whether he could go back. If he couldn't go back, he looked for an opportunity to practice his skills and make himself a strong man who could escape from the sky.
But now it seems that even living is a problem, maybe I starve to death before I have time to research anything.
"I'm not hungry." Jiang Xiaorou stubbornly pushed the bowl back, "Tomorrow is the day to distribute food. If you can get a piece of meat, I'll cook it for your brother."
When it comes to giving out food, Jiang Xiaorou's pretty face is also slightly rosy, obviously looking forward to this "distribution of food".
Yi Yun was silent. When he was on Earth, he felt that life was not easy for anyone, including Yi Yun himself, but compared to this other world, the pressure of that kind of life is really nothing. The danger of death is the real difficulty in life.
The taste of starvation is really too painful.
...
In the middle of the night, the night wind was gentle, and the humming of frogs and crickets came one after another from the grass in the pond.
Yi Yun didn't sleep, he leaned on the bed, facing the moonlight, looking over and over at the mysterious amethyst in his hand.
He was able to climb out of the collapsed mountain with amethyst. This small spar card was undoubtedly a treasure.
If you can study it and understand, you may get some benefits.
This alien world is extremely dangerous, but it is only for ordinary people. Think about how high-spirited the middle-aged man riding on a giant beast that he saw in the wilderness. Compared with these miserable people, his status is simply heaven. difference with the ground.
"If I can become a master, then I will be at ease, at least I won't have to starve..."
Yi Yun touched his stomach. After all, some of the porridge for dinner was given to Jiang Xiaorou. Yi Yun was growing up, and the porridge was not digested at all. Now he was hungry.
Just when Yi Yun felt the emptiness in his stomach, the smooth and cold amethyst in his hand felt a faint coolness, as if...
Huh?
A flash of light flashed in Yi Yun's mind, like a spring, he suddenly sat up from the bed, his eyes were fixed on the purple crystal in his hand, and a surprise appeared on his face.
Yi Yun found that after looking at Amethyst for a long time, some extremely subtle purple light spots appeared faintly around Amethyst, and it was impossible to see if you didn't look carefully.
These light spots were created out of thin air, slowly flew into the amethyst, and then disappeared, as if they were absorbed by the amethyst. This process continued for an unknown time, and the shimmer of the amethyst was obviously brighter.
How is this going?
This discovery made Yi Yun breathe slightly faster.
When the light of the amethyst was getting brighter and brighter, Yi Yun clearly felt that the amethyst was getting colder and cooler. This very strange coolness spread along his hands to his limbs and bones, as if his whole body was covered with spirits. Quan washed it again, very comfortable.
Yi Yun remembered this feeling. When he was digging in the cave, every time he was so tired that he was out of breath, he would feel this faint coolness, which made his body, which was originally under the pressure, regain some strength.
Yi Yun knew that people can live and work because their metabolism provides the energy needed for life activities.
If you don't eat, you will have no nutrition, and naturally you will have no energy, so people will starve to death.
I survived without eating or drinking water for several days and nights, and under the condition of high-intensity work, and completed such a long tunnel, there must be energy supply. This cool feeling should be the life energy provided by Amethyst for myself. flow.
When I think about it, when I found Amethyst in the cave, the Amethyst exuded a shimmer like a night pearl.
But when he traveled to this different world, the light of Amethyst was weak, which was probably because a lot of energy was consumed.
But now, the light in the amethyst is slowly replenishing and strengthening. What is it that replenishes the energy of the amethyst?
Yi Yun observed it carefully and found that these faint, extremely tiny light spots were connected together and stretched out the window. It seemed to come from the starlight in the sky.
Starlight, can supplement the energy of Amethyst?
Yi Yun thought for a while, then jumped off the bed at once. He came to the stove, took out a burning charcoal from the stove, lit a handful of hay with it, and the yellow flames ignited. rise up.
Yi Yun carefully roasted the amethyst on the fire.
Yi Yun's idea was very simple. Since Amethyst can absorb energy from the stars in the sky, can it also absorb energy from the surrounding environment?
Flame is a kind of energy. In Yi Yun's understanding, it should be stronger than starlight. If the amethyst absorbs the energy in the flame, will it be faster?
As for whether the flames would destroy the amethyst, this was something Yi Yun had never considered.
However……
No matter how Yi Yun used fire to burn Amethyst, there was no change in Amethyst, and he couldn't even feel any heat from Amethyst.
Amethyst seems to be a piece of ice that cannot be melted. It is always cold when you start it, and it is the same until the charcoal and hay burn out.
Yi Yun shook his head and had no choice but to give up the experiment.
He intends to go outside to take a look. The starlight outside the house is more splendid, which may allow Amethyst to absorb more energy.
If the amethyst is saturated with energy, what will happen to it?
Yi Yun is looking forward to this!
Yi Yun quietly opened the door and the courtyard door, and then closed it carefully. He was afraid of waking up his sister in the next room, but when Yi Yun walked out of the courtyard, he was slightly startled.
He saw that under the shadow of a tree not far away, a young girl in green was sitting on a small bench, carefully polishing an arrow in her hand.
The icy arrow, reflecting the cold moonlight, shone on the girl's delicate face, as if covered with a layer of silver gauze, and beside the girl, dozens of fireflies were flying, with a little bit of fluorescent light, as if surrounding the goddess. Fairies are beautiful.
Jiang Xiaorou?
Yi Yun saw that next to Jiang Xiaorou, a bundle of feather arrows were neatly stacked, each arrow was finely ground, the arrowheads were sharp, and the shafts were shiny.
"This is……"
Although Yi Yun didn't understand cold weapons, he could sense that these arrows were not ordinary.
"Yun'er, why did you come out? The dew was heavy at night, and your body was just right. Hurry up and lie down on the bed." Jiang Xiaorou hurriedly stood up and was about to push Yi Yun into the room.
"Sister, why are there so many arrows?" Yi Yun was a little puzzled, looking at Jiang Xiaorou's appearance, it didn't look like she could bend a bow and shoot arrows.
"This is for food tomorrow, it's always been like this..."
Jiang Xiaorou gave Yi Yun a strange look.
"Uh..." How did Yi Yun know about this? It's very strange that he traveled to this world. Although he knew words and languages, he didn't know anything about the life of "Yi Yun". All his memories were My own, no more, no less.
This is similar to amnesia after brain trauma. People with amnesia will forget everything, but they will not forget language.
Yi Yun had already thought about the words and explained, "Sister, after I died this time, I can't remember some things..."
"Don't remember?" Jiang Xiaorou was stunned. Yi Yun fell off the rock wall and broke his bones while collecting herbs. After lying on the bed for a while, he died of illness. Thinking about it now, he probably fell on his head.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaorou felt distressed and worried.
"Yun'er, you..."
"I'm fine." Yi Yun quickly stopped Jiang Xiaorou, lest she worry unnecessarily, "Sister, tell me about this world, and that middle-aged man riding a giant beast, what is going on? , I don't remember a lot of things..."
