Chapter 14 The World Is So Big
Chapter 14 The world is so big
"What are you practicing? It looks so scary! Shi Lan, don't think about practicing evil skills!"
Seeing Shi Lan sweating profusely, Xiang Ling couldn't help but think of the story that some diners chatted in the store. They said that a few years ago, a man in a village outside the city practiced evil skills to save his wife, but the wife failed to save her and even caused trouble.
A demon god came who ate children, causing families to die and the village to be destroyed.
The feeling Shi Lan gave her just now was very similar to that story.
Someone in the same family was injured, and Shi Lan also practiced this very strange exercise.
This made her shudder.
"You are thinking too much..." Shi Lan wiped the sweat from his head and comforted: "This is... left by my unknown parents... Although it looks weird, it has greatly improved my physique."
"Really?" Xiang Ling was doubtful.
"Really, if you don't believe me, just ask Guo Ba."
Guo Ba: "??" (What does it have to do with me!)
However, it still shook its head very spiritually, indicating that there was nothing wrong with Shi Lan's technique.
As for why it thinks it's okay, it doesn't know.
I just feel that the aura produced by this technique is a bit familiar, as if I have seen it there before, but it is definitely not the evil technique that Xiang Ling thinks.
When Shi Lan mentioned Guo Ba, his eyes were filled with gratitude.
He couldn't handle the situation just now. Every time he took the third step, this kind of chaotic memory would appear, causing him to lose control of his breath.
The sound of the rice cooker directly pulled him out of his confusion, and he was able to successfully complete this step.
Feeling the still surging aura in his body, Shi Lan felt confident that when the aura calmed down tomorrow, the third step would be completed successfully.
Xiang Ling circled around Shi Lan and said in surprise: "So, is this the secret of how you defeated the wild boar at the age of ten? I have never seen you practice Kung Fu before."
Shi Lan was very embarrassed to be praised like this by Xiang Ling. He explained: "It's not all my ability to knock down the wild boar. I also dug a trap."
Xiangling suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand! Then you knocked it unconscious with a stone!"
"No, I jumped down and knocked it out."
"Jump...jump down..."
Xiangling was stunned, imagining the scene of a duel between a little boy and an adult wild boar in a pit, and stammered: "Isn't that more dangerous?"
Shi Lan took the fan from Xiang Ling's hand and continued to fan the medicine stove, while replying: "I have weapons."
"Eh? What weapon?"
"Break off the wild boar's tusks to make a weapon, and then knock it on the head. It will knock it out easily."
Xiangling: “…”
Shi Lan's words really frightened the little girl. She didn't come back to her senses until the medicine was ready. She kept imagining the scene of Shi Lan fighting the wild boar in her little head. No matter what she thought, she felt outrageous.
She felt that Shi Lan was lying, but the big wild boar was bought by her family. It was really as Shi Lan said at the time, the wild boar was still alive, it was knocked unconscious and carried back, and its two tusks were indeed broken.
I didn't think much about it at the time, but now I know that it was actually broken by Shi Lan...
Shi Lan picked up the medicine stove and was about to go back to the house. He found that Xiang Ling was still in a daze, so he kicked Guo Ba: "Cui Ba, call your master, she seems to be asleep."
"chatter!"
Guo Ba cooperated and pulled Xiang Ling's hand before waking her up.
Xiangling pursed her lips: "I still don't believe it! You must have used a conspiracy!"
"Yes, yes! Conspiracy."
"Did you use anesthetics? Poison in the food? Or did you sneak up on him while he was sleeping? The poor pig fell into your scheme. Humans are really cunning!"
"You're talking about the way you and Uncle Mao went up the mountain to catch game, right?"
"Not all, most of them can use bows and arrows... Oh, no, no! My father did it all. If I were to catch the little squirrel, I would let it go..."
"Is that because squirrel meat tastes so bad that you can't sell it?"
"Shi Lan! You are so annoying!"
The two of them returned to the kitchen noisily. Shi Lan was looking for a bowl to pour soup for his father, while Xiang Ling was wandering around the kitchen.
The kitchen of Shi Lan's house is very small, which is completely different from that of Xiang Ling's house. Although it is small, it is very clean, and there are no oil stains on the desk and stove.
On the one hand, it is due to Shi Lan's daily cleaning, and on the other hand, the Shi family cooks very quickly. One plate of vegetables cooked by the father and son is enough for two meals at lunch and dinner. The food is cooked less, so it is naturally cleaner.
In addition, there are very few ingredients in the kitchen. Apart from rice and noodles, there are only some vegetables and bacon.
In addition, there are refrigerators in the kitchen. They are made of stones that can store elemental power and are filled with ice elements. Although the elements cannot be mobilized, they can be kept in the cabinet to keep them fresh.
You can buy this thing in Bubulu. When you use it up, you can bring it back and get a new one. It can basically be used for a month at a time.
Xiangling planned to make breakfast for Shi Lan, but she couldn't find any ingredients, but she found a pot of dough that had risen.
"Shi Lan, what is this dough used for?"
"I made the noodles yesterday and planned to make steamed buns for Dad this morning, but you brought me breakfast, so I left it alone."
Xiangling picked up the basin and sniffed it: "Can I use it?"
"what are you planning to do?"
"How about I cook you a breakfast with my newly learned dishes?"
Is there such a good thing?
Shi Lan nodded eagerly.
When the bench was brought in, Xiangling washed her hands, rolled up her sleeves, stood on the bench and started kneading dough. Guo Ba also stood by the table and chattered, as if he was instructing her.
After filtering out the medicinal residue, Shi Lan took the poured out soup to Shi Shan and gave the stage to Xiang Ling.
Shi Shan had finished his breakfast long ago and put the empty bowl aside. When he saw Shi Lan coming over, he asked curiously: "Has Xiang Ling gone back?"
"No, I'm making food in the kitchen. You drink the medicine first." Shi Lan blew on the medicine and handed it to Shi Shan to take it.
Shi Shan didn't talk nonsense. He took a sip and felt the heat was moderate, so he raised his head and drank it all in one sip, then took the apple from Shi Lan.
"Eat an apple to relieve the bitterness."
Shi Lan packed up the dishes and prepared to take them to the kitchen for cleaning, but Shi Shan immediately stopped him:
"Son, your Uncle Mao is a nice person. Why don't you go and learn how to cook? In Liyue, his cooking skills are top-notch. He intends to take you as his apprentice and work directly as the chef at Wanmin Hall in the future. How great.
?”
Shi Lan stopped, turned his back to Shishan, and did not look back.
The sound of Xiangling ordering the rice cooker to spit fire came from the kitchen, and cooking had already begun there.
After being silent for a long time, Shi Lan lowered his voice, his childish voice slightly deeper, and said slowly: "Dad, did you have any dreams when you were young?"
"Of course." Shishan said with a smile: "Not to mention young, my biggest dream now is to raise you, and then we can live a peaceful life."
Shi Lan nodded and continued: "A stable life... is indeed beautiful, but it is not suitable for me."
"Um?"
Shi Lan turned to look out the window.
The morning light fell from the sky over this prosperous city. The streets illuminated by the waking sun were all white, and the streets were bustling with people.
Shi Lan's eyes flashed with light.
"Have you ever set foot on the cold Longji Mountain that froze the old country? Have you ever seen the legendary Wuxiang sword on the other side of the sea that cuts off the mountains and seas? Have you ever heard of the high-pitched song praising wind and freedom?
Song of the Sky? Have you ever yearned for the island in the sky that hangs high above the heads of the world and represents the supreme divine power..."
Veins stretched on Shishan's head: "Speak to me in human terms!"
Shi Lan turned his head and smiled brightly.
"Dad, the world is so big and I want to go out and wander around."
