Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 41
Rhodes found a few fresh tomatoes in Peart's backpack. He asked Aya to wash them and cut them into small pieces, put them in the pot, cover them, and cook them together with the corned beef in the pot. After the soup is very thick, a tomato and beef stew is ready.

Both he and Aya ate deliciously, but Aya ignored him all night, and he had already begun to think of Aya as a wayward little girl in his heart.

It may be that boys are safer than girls. In order to protect herself, Aya would say that she is a boy, but Rhodes is not prepared to press the truth.

Rhodes gave up the bed to Aya, and he was going to run the Shenzhao Gong all night, and if he was too sleepy, he would sit on the chair and hold on.

The weather was really cold, risking carbon monoxide poisoning, Rhodes did not extinguish the fireplace in the log cabin, and sat beside him, thinking he could rush away before being poisoned.

But isn't it unnecessary to think about carbon monoxide poisoning in a magical world?
In the end, Rhodes still ran the divine illumination technique all night, hoping to speed up the recovery of his injuries through the divine illumination technique. It is very dangerous to be injured in such a dangerous forest with a child.

Not counting the minor wounds from the battle with the wolf last night, there were several more serious wounds on his body. His left arm was cut, the palm of his right hand was pierced, and his forehead was cut with an axe.

Fortunately, the iron cloth shirt with the gold bell cover made me more skinny, otherwise I would have died countless times. If my head was not particularly iron with the ax yesterday, then at least half of my head must have been cut off. Now, thinking of this, Rhodes felt a little lucky.

This time, I did not feel the bloated pain when I performed the Shenzhao Gong. Is it because there are many injuries that can be repaired, or because my physique has increased?

When he was running the Divine Illumination Technique, the howling of wolves kept coming from outside the wooden house, probably eating the corpses of those mercenaries, Rhodes thought.

Aya, who had fallen asleep, was awakened by the sound of the wolf, trembling on the bed for a while, and then fell asleep again.

The door of the wooden house was kicked open by Rhodes at noon, but the wooden door bolt was broken. He was afraid that animals would break in at night, so he moved the table behind the door to block the door.

Rhodes felt that the pain in his body was reduced by one point every time he ran the divine illumination skill for a week.

The night passed quickly, and after running the Divine Lighting Technique for a whole night and adding black jade intermittent ointment, Rhodes felt that his injury was more than half healed. He stood up from the chair and moved his numb body.

After performing the Shenzhao Gong for a whole night, he felt the pleasure of staying up all night, that is, he felt that he was floating in the sky without being sleepy, as if he had become a fairy.

Glancing at Aya sleeping on the child's bed, Rhodes had a bold idea in his mind. He wanted to know whether he was a man or a woman, but he thought that it would be embarrassing if Aya was really a girl. Give up your bold ideas.

He picked up a water bottle and went out, took a sip of water and began to rinse his mouth. Nord people pay great attention to dental care and will carry plant powder similar to the toothpaste before crossing. Most people will have a mouthful of white teeth, and Peel None of Te and the three mercenaries were Nords, and none of them carried such things in their backpacks.

Rhodes walked not far away and drained water next to a tree. It had to be said that it was very cold outside and almost froze.

Then he walked into another wooden house, which was filled with sundries, probably left by hunters who went hunting in the forest and rested here at night.

He found a small box in a cabinet. He opened the box, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and found that it was the plant powder he used to clean teeth.

I poured some water on my hand and washed the fingers of my right hand. My left arm was cut and I still can’t lift it up. After my fingers are dry, I put my fingers into a small box, put a little powder on my teeth, and rub them with my fingers. After a while, he drank a few sips of water and spit it out of the cabin.

Those whose teeth are not clean enough will be looked down upon by other Nords. I don’t know why the Nords have formed such a custom, but Rhodes is also used to brushing his teeth when he gets up in the morning. If he doesn’t brush his teeth, he feels the most uncomfortable in his mouth.

After brushing his teeth, he simply wiped his face with the water in the kettle, went back to the wooden house and closed the door, and began to embrace Yuan Shouyi to recover.

When he was over from the state of holding Yuanshouyi, he saw Aya playing with the poor pot by the fireplace again.

"Have you brushed your teeth?" Rhodes asked.

Frightened by him, Aya turned her head and replied, "Yes, I found a box of toothwash powder in the next room."

Sure enough, it was a child, and after a night's sleep, he was no longer angry.

"Are you cooking again?" Rhodes asked again.

"Yes, I woke up from hunger. I'll cook more this time." She turned around.

Rhodes was a little worried about Aya's cooking, fearing that he would make something half-baked yesterday, so he said, "Let me do it."

"No, you are injured, you should take a good rest, I can do this kind of thing, I will cook more today." Aya said stubbornly.

Seeing him like this, Rhodes nodded, and decided to give him a chance to prove himself. It happened that he was still sleepy, and he re-entered the state of Bao Yuan Shou Yi.

Aya took out a few carrots and a piece of smoked meat from the mercenary's backpack. He took the carrots and ran to the stream next to the wooden house to wash the carrots and the fine steel dagger he stole from Rhodes, and ran back to the mercenary. Inside the hut, carrots and bacon were cut.

He threw the sliced ​​bacon and carrots into the pot, added water, covered the pot and started to cook. The tomato beef stew made by Rhodes yesterday was still fresh in his memory. He had never eaten such a thing before, he only ate Tomato Beef Soup.

Throw the carrots and bacon into the pot and cook together. The soup must be delicious after the soup is thickened. It must be better than what that idiot made yesterday. His saliva almost drools when he thinks about it.

After a while, he lifted the lid of the pot to see if the water was dry, and found that there was not enough firewood next to the fireplace, so he went to the forest to pick up some dry branches and came back.

Rhodes smelled a strange smell, which woke him up again. He found the source of the smell, which was the pot by the fireplace.

He walked over and took a look at the lid of the pot, and found that the contents inside had been mushy, emitting a burnt smell.

What about Aya?His eyes began to search in the wooden house, but he didn't see Aya's figure.

He lifted the pot from the fire with tongs and put it outside, letting the burnt smell spread outside the cabin.

"What did you do to my food?" Aya, who came back holding the branch, asked with wide eyes.

"Why don't you look at the things in the pot, they are all overcooked." Rhodes pinched his nose and said.

Aya put down the branch and walked over, bent down and saw that the pot was charred black, and said in surprise, "How could this be? Did you use some evil magic on it?"

"I didn't use magic. It was because you didn't watch it and it boiled. How can it be blamed on me now?" Rhodes said innocently.

"I don't care, it must be you." Aya said angrily.

"Little girl, why do you shirk responsibility like this?" Rhodes said with a smile.

Aya was stunned and said angrily, "You are the little girl who dropped the branch and wanted to rush over to beat Rhodes."

Rhodes heard the "rustling" sound of feet stepping on the snow, and made a silent gesture "shh" to Ayabi who was hammering him with his fist.

Aya stopped and looked at Rhodes suspiciously. Rhodes pointed, and a woman with a huge bow appeared in their field of vision...
