Daily life in the era of Reiki

Xi Ya's mother hugged her son vigorously, and rubbed Miao Sheng's hair into a mess. Now it was completely fried, and there was no need to pretend that.

Taoyao Jinzi and Qingtuan laughed tremblingly, Miao Sheng had always acted like a little adult in front of people since he was a child, and with his immortal spirit, people dared not get close to him, almost no one dared to treat him like this.

Now seeing him being crumpled into a ball, even though it wasn't Miao Sheng's own face, it was enough for the three bastards to have fun for a long time.

After the surprise, many women who lost their husbands left the water and began to discuss the matter of leaving together. They were not even afraid of the aftershocks that might occur at any time, and they all wanted to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.

According to the customs of the dwarves, after losing their husbands, women will return to their mother clan with their children, waiting for remarriage or living independently.

Because female dwarves are weaker than men in terms of physical strength and cultivation speed, they have always been suppressed and enslaved. Only women who have married and given birth are considered to have made contributions to the ethnic group and can have a small amount of autonomy.

Their mother clan also welcomes married daughters to bring their children back to live, especially boys.

Because they have blood from other regions, even if they marry nearby, there is almost no possibility of intermarriage between close relatives. Their own daughters do not need to marry far away, which is what many parents want to see.

The women were very excited, and even ignored that there were many adult male dwarves present who did not go to the mine to attend the banquet due to staying behind or for various reasons.

There are probably more than 300 of these people, and except for a few who have wives, many of them are single.

Dwarves who cannot marry a wife will be excluded from the male group, and they will often be ridiculed at banquets, so many people will choose to stay in the residential area.

Most of them are very young, and their strength is not strong, but they took a small life because of it.

Seeing so many women losing their husbands, they were very happy at first, but they didn't expect this group of women to form a team and plan to leave. Who can bear it.

The dwarves with families couldn't bear it even more. When they thought that if they were buried, would their wives happily plan to leave at this moment, they would be furious.

One of the strongest dwarves slapped his wife next to him, knocked her down in the lake, and then jumped onto the bank to roar at the women,

"Give me the digging until I dig out all your husbands. I'll see who dares to leave!"

He thought that he would see a group of shivering little blind mice after roaring like before, but unexpectedly, the women were uncharacteristically looking at him with murderous eyes.

In the past, they did not resist because men were much stronger than women and had an advantage in numbers. If women who dared to resist appeared, they would be collectively suppressed and severely punished.

But now the balance of power has reversed. Even if the men are still strong, tens of thousands of women against more than 300 men can hammer them so hard that they cannot find a complete bone.

They are all dwarves, all from the miner branch, and received similar education when they were young. Except for the disparity in combat effectiveness, they all have quite sturdy personalities in essence.

Seeing so many people staring at him with murderous eyes, the strong man really knew he was scared.

Including all adult males, they have become the object of hatred of the women. The overwhelming number gave them great confidence. Thinking that as long as these blockers are dealt with, they will be able to escape from the sea of ​​suffering. He took out his weapon.

The atmosphere between the men and women was tense, the cubs were frightened into silence, and the few teenagers who did not attend the banquet all looked in Miao Sheng's direction.

It was only then that Miao Sheng remembered that Xi Ya was the most powerful person among his peers, and the dwarves always respected the strong, so he was very prestigious among the young people.

Miao Sheng clasped his hands and put them on his stomach. This is the gesture of the dwarves to express that they don't want to conflict. It is used here to represent that he does not want to participate in the disputes of adults.

Seeing that Miao Sheng expressed neutrality, many teenagers who swayed left and right and did not want to be enemies with their mothers immediately gave up struggling and acquiesced in their mother's desire to return to their mother clan.

Only a small number of teenagers over the age of 15, who are close to adulthood, went to the group of adult men and stood on the opposite side of their mothers.

Several of them were cousins ​​of Xi'an. Miao Sheng looked at the sisters-in-law of Xi'an's mother and found that their expressions were very calm.

After thinking about Miao Sheng for a while, she can understand why they are like this. Dwarf boys will be taken by their father to teach them from the age of 11.

With the speed at which West Asia is alienating from their mother, teenagers over the age of 15 have long since ignored their mother. It is only normal for them to choose to maintain the authority of the male group.

And these mothers have probably been heartbroken a long time ago, and they are too lazy to give any more affection.

The attitude of the women made the strong man in a dilemma for a while, and he didn't know what to do.Judging from the current balance of power, if the confrontation continues, the few hundred men will be very dangerous.

After the teenagers in the group were hit by natural disasters, they were provoked and majestic by a group of women who usually look down on them, and they were quite upset.

But there were too many people on the other side, and they didn't dare to provoke them, so they could only spray all the evil fire in their hearts at Xia, who had always been pressing down on them,

"Xia, we thought you were the strongest at first, but we didn't expect you to be a complete softie. Seeing the dignity of men being challenged, you didn't say a word."

After hearing this, Xi Ya's mother almost raised her eyebrows. She was about to say something but was interrupted by her son.

Miao Sheng patted her mother on the shoulder to tell her not to be impulsive. Now that the situation between the two sides is on the verge of breaking out, it is better not to do anything that will provoke disputes.

Otherwise, even if a group of strong men can be beaten down, the women will suffer heavy losses, and they will be free immediately. It is not worth the injury at this time.

Immediately Miao Sheng expressed his thoughts in a calm tone, "My father is dead, and it is our dwarven tradition for my mother to return to her mother clan. I don't think there is anything to stop it.

If you try to break the tradition left by your ancestors, you will of course encounter resistance. Even if this matter is submitted to the Supreme Council of the three clans, they will support the tradition, thinking that it is wrong to stop one side.

Moreover, the mine collapsed so suddenly, and the current situation is too strange. No one can guarantee whether there will be more dangerous incidents. If there is a larger-scale collapse, will the women and children stay here and be wiped out? .

Therefore, even for women whose husbands have not had an accident, I think it is best for them to take their children back to their mother's family for a period of time, and then consider how to help the buried people get out of trouble after the situation here stabilizes. "

Miao Sheng's words silenced the opposing sides. Thinking that there might be a more serious landslide, many people looked up and wanted to leave here immediately.

The biggest reason for the silence on the male side is because Miao Sheng's sentence is going to be completely wiped out.Adult dwarves were buried inside by earth and rocks, and anyone with strength could slowly get out.

But the cub will definitely die. If there is another more serious collapse, the residential area will be buried, and all the women and children will be lost at once. Their reputation in the south will be discredited. In the future, no tribe will agree to marry their daughters. At that time, it is really not far from extinction.

Thinking of this, the strong man acquiesced in the plan of the women to bring their children back to their mother clan. Anyway, as long as the man is not dead, they dare not remarry casually.

Then he led the male group back to the lake, intending to take shelter in the crypt with supplies, anyway, they dare not stay here for the time being.

Seeing that the male dwarves had all retreated, all the women cheered excitedly. Mother Xia rubbed her son again, so happy that she didn't know what to say.

After the excitement, everyone formed a team based on the position of the mother clan, planning to use a rotation to pack their luggage and leave here as soon as possible.

After Xia's mother returned home, she quickly packed her luggage. Every dwarf in the bracelet space will be equipped with it when they are born, but the capacity of the internal space varies according to the degree of wealth of the family.

Xi Ya's father has strength and status, and the bracelet equipped for his precious son has quite a large space, which is almost empty.

Xi Ya's mother knew the space capacity of her son's bracelet very well, and ordered Miao Sheng to put everything in the house that could fit in it. Anyway, the dead ghost was finished, and all the belongings belonged to her and her son.

Miao Sheng thought that after Xi'an's mother returned to the north, she would have to build a house to live by herself, so she could save time by bringing more belongings back home.

Therefore, as long as it can be dismantled, he puts it away, and what he has done can only be described as a barren house.

What interested Miao Sheng the most was Xi Ya's father's workshop, which contained a lot of equipment for smelting and forging.

The most valuable of these is a smelting furnace engraved with an energy circuit. As long as a piece of magic stone is used as an energy source, the inside of the furnace can generate a high temperature of several thousand degrees. The melting speed is unbelievably fast, and it is also very energy-saving.

At this time, Miao Sheng got a glimpse of the technology of the dwarves. He took the stove and all the equipment to his own space, and planned to study it slowly after returning home.

In addition to equipment, there are many ores that have been smelted in the workshop, as well as a dozen weapons that have been forged.

There are energy circuits engraved on the weapons, which can be regarded as the most superficial version of the formation, which can help the user to unleash the magic power.

There are only four types of weapons, axes, hammers, shovels and picks. Miao Sheng weighed a double-headed short-handled pick for a few times and found it to be quite handy. It is used as a weapon in the underground world.

After tidying up the workshop, Miao Sheng heard Xia's mother calling, and when she returned to the living room, she saw her smiling and pointing in the direction of the kitchen, beckoning herself to look.

Miao Sheng walked over and saw the empty kitchen, and laughed too. Even the desk was removed, and the packing was really thorough.

Seeing that everything in the house had been packed, Xia’s mother started to collect the moss in the house again, piled them together and used magic power to make them grow into a blanket, then rolled it up and carried it on her shoulders.

Miao Sheng couldn't figure out what she was going to do, and wanted to help her but she didn't agree, so he had to obey the order to make a final inspection of the house, and then followed her to the edge of the lake.

There are almost no one around the lake at the moment, and there are very few families who can cooperate with each other like the two of them and have a large space, especially families with many children, who are still flying around at the moment.

Sia's mother smiled triumphantly, put down the moss she was carrying, and taught her son how to make a boat with moss.

Miao Sheng said in his heart that fortunately he has the wood element ability shared by Taoyao, otherwise he would have to give up today, and the ability of the demons with all five elements is too foul.

Then Miao Sheng realized that she was thinking too much. The demons could only theoretically use all the abilities of the five elements. Most dwarf women still have some things they are good at and not good at.

For example, not everyone can master the ability of the wood element. After giving birth to her own shiny moss boat, Mother Xia left her son as a caretaker, and she began to help the women who gathered by the lake to grow boats.

Mother West Asia's wood system ability is very proficient, and soon the ships in her team are ready.

The branch of the miners lived in 2000 regions, and the north was the farthest from here, so the number of married women was also the fewest. There were less than [-] people in total, and they were divided into more than a dozen teams due to their familiarity.

The team that Xi Ya's mother and Miao Sheng belonged to consisted of 97 small boats, and there were nearly 300 women and children together.

When everything was ready, their team left first under the leadership of an old woman, lest there would be too many boats blocking the river later.

The fleet controlled the current and sailed slowly on the lake, waving goodbye to everyone they passed by. Since they married to the south, the women have lived a hellish life, and now they are finally free. smile.

For many young children, they still can't understand what death is, and they don't have a deep impression of the elusive creature like their father. They can be happy as long as their mother is around.

From the perspective of older children, the father who is always drunk at home is also dispensable. Novelty things attract their full attention, and what the father can think about later.

Only teenagers like Miao Sheng who were taken by their father for a period of time would worry about his father's life and death. But they have a lot to help their mother and take care of their younger siblings. They are so busy that they have no energy to be sad.

Miao Sheng saw that the teenagers of the same age were all busy, and no one had a big emotional reaction to his father's death or being trapped, so he didn't do extra performances.

Xi'an's mother didn't forget the matter of giving her son medicine before, and told Miao Sheng to lie down and rest if she was sleepy, as long as she was in control of the boat.

Miao Sheng has been immersed in the beauty of the underground world. After leaving the residential area through a long and narrow river, the lake widens.

Aquatic plants with five colors of light grow in the lake as clear as a mirror, and small luminous fish shuttle through it, drawing ribbons in the water.

Above the head is the dome that is also climbing the fluorescent plants, at least tens of meters high, and the little fluorescent lights converge into a sea of ​​light spots, which is more breathtaking than the Milky Way in the night sky.

The boats on the lake are curved and also glowing, like groups of crescent moons flying in the air.

Finding that her son was immersed in the beautiful scenery of the lake, and his eyes were almost useless, Xia's mother showed a satisfied smile. She had been looking forward to the day when she could take her son to escape from that place.

It doesn't matter where you go, as long as mother and child are with each other, life is the best wherever you go.

Unexpectedly, the wish came true so suddenly, the cruel bug died, and she was finally free.

She doesn't even need to go wandering, she can return to her mother clan openly and aboveboard, and live the life she wants from then on.

There are too many women in the fleet who are in a good mood like Mother Xia. They are talking and laughing, thinking about where they will build a house when they return to the north, and what jobs they will do to make ends meet and raise their children.

A fleet of ships followed one after another. Thousands of small boats gathered in several teams and sailed on the lake without seeming crowded at all.

The area of ​​this underground lake is quite large, with a width of about six kilometers, and it will gradually narrow to three kilometers further on, and the flow of the river begins to rush. In Miao Sheng's spiritual consciousness, the water has always flowed deeper underground.

Seeing that the fleet was always going deep underground, Miao Sheng and his three partners were a little uneasy. They are now nearly 1000 meters underground, and they don't know how deep they will go underground.

Thinking of the north and south mine divisions, which are the dwarves living closest to the surface, Miao Sheng's forehead began to twitch wildly.

"How deep is the deepest place where our family lives?" Miao Sheng searched through the memories of West Asia, but she didn't have the slightest impression of common sense in this area. On the contrary, she had a relatively comprehensive grasp of ore smelting and forging.

"You guys are just useless. You don't listen carefully in class. You just think about hammering stones and killing people all day long." There were girls on several small boats next to them. laughed.

In the past, they would never talk to boys over the age of 11, because their thinking is getting closer to adult men, and they can't hate it.

But just now Xia defended women in front of a group of men, and helped everyone find a reason to leave the place of residence. The girls' impression of Xia changed a lot, and now they are willing to talk to him, although their attitude is still not very good. .

With Miao Sheng's self-cultivation, how could it be possible to care about a group of little girls, he smiled and said, "If you know, tell me, we are going all the way to the north, such a long distance, we must know where we need to go. "

Seeing that Miao Sheng had a gentle smile, the girls didn't mean to be angry or look down on themselves. They immediately cheered up and began chatting with him to explain the places he needed to go to the north.

At the end of this waterway, it will descend to about Sanbaijing, where there is a small blacksmith branch residence and an ant fungus plantation.

Like the dwarves, the ant fungi are also demons that live underground. They look like ants and are best at growing fungi.

One of the bread fungi contains [-]% starch, which is the staple food of all underground races. Therefore, even if the ant fungi are all war scum, it is difficult to reproduce the race. The object of protection, the small life is quite moist.

These two places mainly rely on the ore mined by the miners above for a living. The miners provide the ore, and they provide tools and food. If the residence of the miner branch is abandoned, they will probably have to migrate.

Going forward is also a downward path, and when you walk to a depth of five hundred wells, you will reach one of the three major central cities of the dwarves, Jihad City.

Jihad City is a city dominated by miners and stonemasons. Although its technology is not as good as that of Abyss City, which is dominated by stonemasons and blacksmiths, it is also much more advanced than their backcountry.

But the holy war city and the abyss city are nothing compared to the city in the center of the earth, which is dominated by wise men and has a depth of a thousand wells.

The wise men are the rarest and most intelligent branch of the dwarves.If the tribes of blacksmiths and stonemasons are skilled craftsmen, then wise men are designers.

In the city designed by them, it is said that every road can be automatically raised and lowered. As long as you stand on it, you can move freely according to your own ideas, and you don't need to walk on your feet.

In addition to being excellent designers, wise men are also managers of dwarves and powerful warriors. They can easily read other people's thoughts and manipulate countless weapons to fight.

When the girls talked about the wise man, they lost track of the topic. They had infinite respect for the wise man, but Miao Sheng and Tao Yao didn't take it seriously.

It's just a group of dwarves with relatively strong soul power. They raised themselves to a position of admiration, which is a bit suspected of being over-packaged.

But the depth of the inner city still frightened them. The measurement unit of dwarves is different from that of human beings. One day is ten rotation hours, and one rotation hour is equivalent to 143 minutes of human beings.

The depth of a well is equivalent to about ten meters of human beings, which means that the deepest city in the center of the earth can reach a depth of about [-] meters.

After the agreed 4000 meters underground, the temperature can be as high as hundreds of degrees Celsius, and I haven't seen any dwarves who can swim in the magma.

It can only be said that human beings' research on the underground is only superficial. Well, there may be reasons why they can't study too deep. For example, the polar bear's deep well of more than 1 meters, God knows who dug it.

The boys and girls chatted happily along the way. In the past, the boys didn't like to talk to these little girls who would cry when they touched them. Now that they know a lot of things, they put aside their usual arrogance and told them about this incident. A must on the road.

The fleet sailed deeper underground along the current, and after passing several waterfalls with a relatively gentle slope, they saw several iron boats coming towards them.

These iron boats are all powered by energy sources, and the huge wheel paddles on both sides splashed glittering water splashes, and they were rapidly moving upstream.

Seeing the mossy boat that could not be seen in front of them, the speed of the iron boat's wheel oars immediately slowed down, and it could only maintain a sailing speed that could stop in place in the current. The dwarves on it were a little dumbfounded.

They are the dwarves of the blacksmith branch below. When they noticed the sudden inexplicable vibration above, the whole village immediately jumped into the river to avoid danger.

After soaking in the river until the skin almost peeled off, I was sure that it might be all right.It was the elders of the ant fungus tribe who remembered that the miner branch lived in the place where the tremor was coming from, and they realized that they should sail aboard to have a look.

Now seeing that the river is full of small boats, with only women and children on them, the dwarves on the iron boat only have a series of "End, End, and End" in their minds.

The dwarves of the miner's branch are finished, and their settlement is almost finished.
