Zhou Man continued to look for rations on the mountain with a small burden like this. Because he brought a child with him, Zhou Man did not run into the woods, but just walked along the path.

Along the way, Zhou Man only told him his own name, and also asked the child's name, and then said with a smile: "Well, it should not be a pool, it should not be a thing in the pool, a good name."

Ying Feichi had always disliked the forcibly changed name, but he didn't mind so much after hearing his explanation.He thought in his heart: Sure enough, you should not be arrogant, even if you are a foreigner, you are also rich in knowledge.Ying Feichi has always had a character that people respect me and respect others, so he immediately had a good impression of Zhou Man and asked, "You said you were looking for something to eat, what kind of food is that?"

Zhou Man described: "It's a vine, the vine is in the shape of a four-pointed star, the leaves are heart-shaped, and the tail is slender. The vines and leaves are tender green, easy to recognize."

Ying Feichi nodded, looked around, and asked, "Is that the one?"

Zhou Man looked in the direction he indicated, and said with a smile, "That's it! You wait here, and I'll go dig."

Then go there.Ying Feichi was already very embarrassed to follow him, but now he had to stand and watch while looking for food, which made him feel very uncomfortable.But the vines in that place are also full of thorns. Ying Feichi looked at the wide Taoist robe on his body, and knew that walking over would not only scratch the Taoist robe, but also get entangled in branches and thorns. Can wait on the trail.

Zhou Man first took the steel drill out of the back basket, overwhelmed the lush bushes, and cleared out a place with a diameter of two steps near the yam.Then he dropped the pan and started digging a step and a half away from the yams.He had grown up in the mountains, and his muscles were strong, and he dug a big hole in a short while.Looking at his sweaty forehead and bulging muscles, Ying Feichi felt that he was extremely fit and novel. The Langfeng School is a place for cultivating immortals, and he pays attention to the way of immortality. Sweating like rain like this gives Ying Feichi a sense of reality. a feeling of.

Even if you don't cultivate immortality, you have to use other methods to live.Ying Feichi thought to himself, he couldn't help taking a step forward, and asked, "Why are you digging so far away? Can't you just dig at the root?"

Zhou Man kept moving his hands, and his breath was a little anxious: "This yam is very big, it goes deep into the ground, and it is easy to break when digging from the root."

Ying Feichi half understood, hesitated for a moment, pinned the hem of the Taoist robe to his belt, and walked over cautiously. "Let me help you move the soil."

Zhou Man thought he was just a child, how could he be allowed to do things?Immediately waved his hand and said: "No need, I'm very tired, you are so small."

"I can spell." Ying Feichi said, found a leaf, and drew a talisman on it with his fingers.The transporting spell is the only spell that Ying Feichi will have. It was secretly practiced by him in order to reduce the number of times of moving paper during the copying process, and he was not very proficient in using it.He carefully drew a talisman, fanned the soil in the pit with a leaf, and the soil flew out with a clatter.

Really... really has magic!Zhou Man stopped what he was doing in a daze, and stared at him with his mouth wide open for a while.

"What's the matter?" Ying Feichi also stopped his movements and asked uneasily, for some reason, he was particularly afraid of showing that he was useless in front of Zhou Man, because he was afraid that Zhou Man would feel that he was a burden and would throw him down?Is he afraid that Zhou Man will look down on him or just pity him?No, if he wants to live, of course he has to rely on his own ability, what is it to rely on other people's sympathy and pity?

"Ah, it's nothing. It's the first time I saw spells, and I feel...it's amazing." Zhou Man came back to his senses and continued digging, "It's amazing that you can use spells at such a young age!"

It seems that no one has ever praised him so sincerely. In the past, Master Taiqingzi didn't praise him much, and his classmates were mostly flattering.Ying Feichi blushed, and explained: "I have practiced for almost five years to reach this level. You see, this leaf is broken, and I have to replace it."

"Hehe, if it were me, I would never be able to learn it in my lifetime." Zhou Man really felt so.

"Then..." Ying Feichi almost blurted out, then I'll teach you.But he didn't have time to say it, because Zhou Man looked happy, squatted down to touch it, and said happily: "We don't have to worry about running out of food for the next three days, I'm afraid we can carry some to sell on the street! "

Ying Feichi didn't understand why he was so happy, but he nodded and said, "Well, that's great!"

Zhou Man's eyes are full of smiles. For him, there is always a way to solve the difficulties in life. Only relatives, once they leave, they will never come back.Now that he can come back again, what is there to be unhappy about?

Most of the yams grow vertically, but the one that Zhou Man and his colleagues found is very big, divided into several branches.Zhou Man took out the yams little by little and threw them into the basket, which was half full in the basket.After digging, Zhou Man's head was covered with sweat. He took off the blue cloth from the Baotou and wiped it several times, then sat on the ground panting.After breathing enough, he realized that Ying Feichi was staring at his head.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Man patted his head, "Is there something on my head? A bug or a leaf?"

"Your hair..." Ying Feichi said slowly, "Your body is hair and skin, it's from your parents..."

He thought his hair was just wrapped in a turban, but it turned out...it was as short as a monk!

Oh, Zhou Man touched his inch board and smiled. "Our world is not limited to our village. Men's hair in this world has been cut very short since childhood, and some women also have short hair. This is different from your world."

Women also cut their hair short?Isn't this the same as the nun in Yunshui Temple?Is this world full of Buddhist practitioners?

Zhou Man also had a headache as to how to explain to him that this technological society is different from the world of immortals, and he can only take one step at a time.He stood up with the basket on his back, holding the steel drill in his hand, and said, "Let's go, let's go back."

Ying Feichi was still in the shock of being a Buddhist cultivator, and followed him silently.I didn't see that Zhou Man picked up a lot of dead branches along the way, and the space in the back basket was taken up.

The way back is downhill, which is much faster than when we came here. After walking for about an hour and a half (about an hour for Feichi), we saw the tiles on the roof of the school.

Zhou Man led him into the school, and said a little shyly: "I'm sorry, our place is poor and run-down, so we'll make do with it before you go back."

He said he put the basket under the eaves, pointed to his room and said: "That room is the cleanest, you put your things in it first. I'll wash your hands and cook for you."

Ying Feichi walked into the room he was pointing to, and fumbled around without putting away the baggage.

The walls are made of yellow mud.The roof is paved with black tiles.There is a window on the east and west sides of the house, the window frame is made of wood, and a translucent thing (film) is pasted on it.It was dark, and there was no light source in the room. A wooden wardrobe and a wooden bed were barely visible, and a cloth (mosquito net) with small holes was hung on the wooden bed.There is a wooden table under the window, on which there is something like a pen holder, with two black sticks (pens) stuck in it.Next to that thing was something made of paper that was propped up, with green letters printed on it.Ying Feichi could barely recognize the words "day", "month" and "yibu", but he didn't understand what they were talking about.

Ying Feichi stood there for a long time, in a daze, until Zhou Man's voice woke him up.

"Ying Feichi, it's time for dinner."

Ying Feichi put his baggage on the wooden table, calmed down and responded, and hurried out.

The room just now was already dim, and Zhou Manzai's room was even darker, almost no one could be seen, thanks to the light from the fire.Sitting by the fire, Zhou Man pointed to a low stool with four legs beside him and said, "Come and sit."

Ying Feichi walked over and sat down, only to find that the place where the fire was burning was strange.It was a square mud platform with a round hole on the top, and a black thing was placed on the hole, with two wires and a cover.Ying Feichi, a water monk, immediately felt that there was water in it, as well as the yams he had dug up today.

So...is that a pot?

There was also a hole where the mud platform faced the two of them, and the firewood was put in here for burning.

Seeing him staring at the outer space flying saucer, Zhou Man explained: "This is a mud stove, and the one on top is a tripod pot, which is used to boil water. Because there is no oil or salt at home, we don't cook. Alright, let's cook a few yams for rice."

He picked up something like scissors and explained: "This is tongs." Then he used the tongs to pick out a dusty thing and put it on the ground. "The yams are cooked, will it work if you peel them? Be careful, it's very hot."

"Hmm." Ying Feichi was dizzy with a series of new things, he had never heard of everything here!He's just a waste, like a newborn.Oh, no, can there be a baby as big as him at birth, and a baby as edible as him?

Suddenly there was a burst of aroma, Ying Feichi regained his senses, followed the aroma, and saw that Zhou Man broke off the yam, revealing the snow-white flesh inside, the yam meat was glutinous, and it was fragrant in the fire .Ying Feichi had been taught to be pure-hearted and ascetic for 16 years, so she couldn't help but be hooked to swallow her saliva at this moment, and stared at him eagerly.

He looked no different from a child.Zhou Man peeled a piece of yam and handed it to him, and said with a smile, "Eat it while it's hot."

He thought he wanted to eat it by himself...Ying Feichi looked at him movedly, took a bite hard, and was so hot that he groaned and couldn't bear to spit it out, and swallowed it with tears in his eyes.Although it was only swallowed whole, the fragrant and glutinous taste was still deeply imprinted in Ying Feichi's mind.

Delicious!Very fragrant!Very waxy!Glutinous with powder, it feels like a contradictory combination but it is really delicious.Ying Feichi ate his own in two or three mouthfuls, just as Zhou Man also ate his own, and took another one out of the stove.

"I'll peel it! I'll peel it!" Ying Feichi called repeatedly, Zhou Man handed it to him, and started to burn a new one.Ying Feichi took it and peeled it off quickly while screaming from the scald. Seeing that Zhou Man was concentrating on turning over the yams in the stove, he broke off the long piece and handed it to Zhou Man's mouth, and ate the short one by himself. .Zhou Man was taken aback for a moment, and ate the yam with strange eyes.

The two of you divided a large pile of yams one by one, and ate until the belly bulged.

But will we all eat yams from now on?In the Langfeng faction, no matter how much he was abused, he still had rice to eat.A thought flashed through Ying Feichi's mind, but before he had time to think about it, Zhou Man said, "Ying Feichi, do you want to take a bath?"

Ying Feichi was thinking about something, so he answered casually: "Well, wash it."

Zhou Man on the other end didn't answer. After a while, he walked over and said, "I'll bring you the water. The bathroom is at the back. You should go quickly. It will be dark later."

Ying Feichi Jing reminded him, and immediately thought that this place is not the Langfeng sect, not to mention that there is no lighting talisman, maybe there is no candle!

Ying Feichi didn't dare to hesitate, took out a change of clothes from the bag and ran back, and then looked at the bathroom with a subtle expression - the so-called bathroom is just a room with a wooden floor underneath. Bucket of water, the bucket only came up to his knees.

Ying Feichi washed himself hastily with a heavy heart, walked out of the bathroom and Zhou Man said: "Go to the bed and lie down, I have already beaten the mosquitoes, after you go to bed, close the mosquito net, don't put the mosquitoes in , it’s not easy to fight when it’s dark.”

"En." Ying Feichi replied softly, and climbed onto the bed.

Seeing his pensive look, Zhou Man shook his head and smiled. Instead of boiling water, he took a cold bath by the river with a bucket—the hot water for Ying Feichi’s bath was also from the small river not far away. call taxi.

After taking a shower, Ying Feichi was already lying down on the bed.Zhou Man climbed onto the bed and carefully tucked in the mosquito net. As soon as he lay down, he could smell the musty smell all over the bed.Oh, he forgot, the old principal Grandpa Chen lived in the village, and the dormitory of the school was probably unoccupied for three years after he left.

Ying Feichi had indigestion from eating too much yams for the first time, and was not used to the musty smell of the quilt for the first time, and kept his eyes open until dawn.When breakfast was still yam the next day, Ying Feichi said to Zhou Man: "Well, Zhou... Zhou Man, I have something to tell you."
