When Ah Jin came out of the room, Ji Huan was kneeling on the floor of the hall to wipe the floor. He had been wiping the floor for some time. He was sweating profusely. He was wearing an old white T, probably for the convenience of his work. Sweat soaked through the entire T-shirt, revealing a little bit of skin color and the boy's graceful back.
The little monster named Heidan was crawling beside Jihuan. Wherever Jihuan wiped it, he would follow him. Occasionally, he would laugh when he bumped into Jihuan's leg.
However, his happy times didn't stop there.
Sensitively noticing A Jin's line of sight, Heidan immediately raised his head and looked in the direction of the corridor. The moment he saw A Jin, he froze.
Ji Huan also noticed A Jin's arrival: "Good morning."
Not only did he say hello, he also raised Heidan's little paw: "Heidan also wants to say hello to Ajin."
With a small expression of wanting to cry or not, the black egg was stiffly pulled by Ji Huan and waved twice with his little paw. The moment he was let go by Ji Huan, he immediately crawled behind Ji Huan.
"Good morning." With a slight nod, Ah Jin also said good morning to Ji Huan. Then-
"Good morning." The second good morning was said to the black egg with a small head exposed behind Ji Huan.
The little blackhead who had just stuck his head out immediately retracted again, and then stayed for a while, quietly popping out his head again when no one was paying attention.
After repeated several times and found that A Jin was not looking at him, he finally dared to keep his head out.
Ajin walked over from the corridor and looked around inadvertently. He was not surprised to find that the living room had been cleaned and cleaned the floor. , table, etc. were wiped clean.
He picked up a vase from the display shelf. It was a brand new vase. It was white, with a smooth surface and a beautiful shape. It looked like the type he would like, but...
He did not remember such a vase in the house.
"Did you bring this here?" Holding the vase, Ajin looked at Jihuan.
Ji Huan shook his head:
"No, it was there originally."
"?" Originally placed here, wait... This vase looks a little familiar...
Just when A Jin started to recall where he had seen this vase, Ji Huan continued:
"This vase originally looked very old, but I didn't expect it to be new after rubbing it. It had some cracks on it, and I used the glue I brought to patch it up..."
Looking at the flaws at the bottom of the vase that were perfectly mended, Ah Jin's expression suddenly became very subtle.
He finally remembered why the vase looked familiar: it was obviously an antique vase he photographed!
The red glaze bottle was produced in the era of King Huiyeluo about two thousand years ago. Although the process is very simple and the craftsmanship is completely incomparable with the present, the surface of the bottle is a red glaze that cannot be replicated now. The shape really fit his aesthetic, and he immediately took the red-glazed bottle at a high price.
That's what he has now.
The red glaze, which represents the characteristics of the times, has been wiped clean, and the soil that symbolizes the precipitation of the years has also been wiped off. The red glaze vase that was once full of old-fashioned history is now transformed into a brand-new white vase.
Ah Jin: =-=
"That... is there something wrong?" Ji Huan asked cautiously after realizing that A Jin had not spoken for a long time.
Ajin shook her head and smiled gently: "This bottle must be difficult to wipe, thank you for your hard work."
Jihuan breathed a sigh of relief.
This vase was finally planted with wild flowers that black eggs pulled from the yard. The yellow wild flowers swayed and bloomed in the clean white vase. It looked unexpectedly beautiful. A Jin was very satisfied with Jihuan's "flower arrangement". He put the vase on the dining table.
The priceless antique vases finally came down from the display racks and picked up their jobs two thousand years ago.
After such an accident, when he saw the "weeds" that were plucked up in the yard later, Ah Jin was able to keep smiling without changing his face.
If I remember correctly, he also spent a lot of money on the "weeds" in the yard. This plant has a very low chance of producing beautiful flowers known as "thousand-year-old hearts". When the flowers bloom slowly It is a moment known as one of the top ten dream moments in the world.
However, Jihuan did not pull out all the weeds in the yard, but kept a clump in the corner and in the sun. Dabai's ration last night was this kind of grass. Dabai seems to like it very much. He ate a lot the next day. It didn't die (=-=), which proves that this kind of grass can be used as a big white food. Thinking of this crop, Jihuan kept some weeds.
Jihuan is a neat person, even if there are weeds in the yard, he will not let people see that it is weeds: Jihuan also trimmed the shape of the weeds left behind, and not only wiped the first floor of the house, After pulling the grass in a yard and trimming the rest of the grass, Ah Jin has a new understanding of Ji Huan's ability.
After thinking about the other collections that he put on the second floor, Ajin made a suggestion:
"Is there anything else missing? Go out and buy it. Many things in this house are too old, so I have to replace them all with new ones."
"Although it's a bit old, it's still usable..." Ji Huan hesitated for a while, he was a very frugal person.
Without giving him a chance to hesitate, Ajin immediately said, "I have to buy food anyway. Did you bring a lot of food?"
As soon as these words came out, Ji Huan's back path was immediately blocked.
Grandpa and Heidan stayed at home, followed behind Ajin, and Jihuan went out again.
Before going out, A Jin told Ji Huan to put on the cloak. He didn't quite understand why, but about half an hour after they went out, the temperature suddenly rose.
Rapidly rising, the sun's light became extremely strong, Ji Huan had no doubt that if he didn't have a cloak on his body at this time, he would definitely be scorched by the sun's rays.
"There is a device that absorbs light radiation on the ceiling where we live. Once you get out of the range of the device, it will be like it is now." Ah Jin explained to him as he walked: "The light radiation here is quite strong, if you are afraid If there is radiation, try not to go out between 11:00 and 14:00 every day."
"… However, if you want to be a little safer, it's best to go out during this time."
Ji Huan was stunned.
"During this time, high-level monsters are reluctant to go out because they are afraid of heat, and some monsters that are not very capable will come out."
Ji Huan nodded, indicating that he remembered.
"Don't go too far, don't go to the garbage mountain and the places that look prosperous, especially the latter."
"Remember the road we took today, you will come here often in the future."
The temperature is very high, but A Jin's voice is as calm as always. Listening to him intently, Ji Huan feels that the temperature seems to have dropped a little.
In addition to listening to A Jin's introduction, Ji Huan also paid some attention to the surroundings. During the process of recording the roadmap, he noticed that the number of people around him gradually increased.
Everyone wears huge cloaks like him. The people in that small town seemed to be wearing cloaks yesterday, but the cloaks over there are more fancy and thinner, and the cloaks of the people here are mainly black and gray. , most of the cloaks are tattered.
Although Jihuan's cloaks were newer than others', but because the light was too strong, everyone covered their cloaks on their way, and they didn't attract the attention of others.
These people seem to be in the same direction as they are heading, and more and more people are walking around them.
Lots of people, but very quiet.
For a moment, Ji Huan really thought that the people around him were hallucinations that he had fainted from the sun.
Fortunately, they had reached their destination, and they followed Da Liu'er slowly forward. Ji Huan came to a long alley. The alley was lined with low-rise houses. , looks extremely solid.
Presumably to block the light, these houses have built wide sheds on the roofs. They are colorful and have all kinds of colors. It is clear that it is broad daylight, but the sheds are very dark.
After walking under the shed, Ji Huan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. These sheds are still useful. Although the temperature under the shed is not much lower than outside, the lack of strong light immediately makes people feel a lot more comfortable.
A strong smell of blood came from below, and when he lowered his head and saw the blood-drenched, dead monster on the chopping board, Ji Huan was startled first, then glanced around, and found that there were similar stalls everywhere. , He realized that this place turned out to be a market.
"There is the most meat here, and the price is not expensive. The prey they hunted from the desert in the south early in the morning, so there is no need to worry about whether it is fresh or not." Ah Jin's voice came from his ear again.
Jihuan carefully observed the "goods" on the booth and found that the most common beast was a beast with sharp teeth and claws that looked a bit like a wolf. In order to distinguish it from the beasts in the human world, Jihuan decided to It's called a monster.
In addition to the wolf-shaped monsters everywhere, Jihuan also saw a monster that looked like a snail. It looked like a snail was a mollusk, but its size was comparable to that of a goat. .
"Yo! This is Caltra, who usually lives deep in the sand, so it's hard to see." A Jin said after glancing at the beast.
The magical beast named Caltra was so popular that Ji Huan was bought after only two glances.
"Kaltra is rich in water, and its flesh and blood can almost be used as a substitute for drinking water, so it is very popular." As if aware of Jihuan's puzzlement, Ah Jin explained immediately.
Next, they passed by the stalls selling water. There were only two stalls selling water in the entire market. The two stalls were adjacent to each other. There was a long queue in front of each stall. Some people only had buckets in their hands. Others hold prey in addition to barrels.
"Is water... very scarce here?" Ji Huan was stunned when he thought of the water he used for cleaning.
"Well, it's very scarce. Water is the most expensive food here." A Jin gave him a positive answer.
They moved on.
As Jin introduced, the most "goods" here are "meat". From the beginning to the end, Jihuan only saw a small handful of green vegetables for sale at one stall.
These commodities are not very particular about what they are when they are hunted, and what they are like when they are placed on the stall. Water is very precious, and no one will use it to clean up the prey, so that the appearance of the commodities in the entire market is very bad.
Jihuan also noticed that in addition to the stalls of the people living on both sides of the alley, there were also people who set up stalls in the middle of the road. Generally, there were only one or two goods on display at these stalls. Occasionally, there were good prey, but most of them were rather shabby.
This should belong to the "temporary booth".
In these stalls, Ji Huan saw the monster that attacked him last night.
Jihuan didn't find him at first. Monsters are naturally good at hiding. The monsters here seem to be especially good at it. Even the stall owner has a weak sense of existence. Unless someone asks about the goods, their sense of existence is infinitely close to zero.
Ji Huan didn't notice this humble little stall at first. In the middle of the temporary stalls, it is even more shabby than the surrounding temporary stalls. This stall does not even have a cloth curtain, only a circle is drawn with stones on the ground, and there are a few pitiful "goods" in the circle.
One item is a monster the size of a mouse, and the other item is a piece of green candy.
After being trained a lot by black eggs, Jihuan is very sensitive to green, and in the taupe, the green somehow caught his eye.
Ji Huan looked at the stall owner's position in surprise, and saw the gray shadow.
Silently crouched there, the little monster was only one-fifth the size of the surrounding monsters.
However, it may also be small, and the size and age of monsters are not necessarily the same.
However, Ji Huan finally squatted down.
Crouching opposite the short monster, he looked at the green candy. The brand name on it was familiar, and it was one of the candies he bought for Black Egg.
After a night and a morning of tossing, I don't know if it was because of the sun, that piece of candy has begun to melt.
Ji Huan looked at the monster on the opposite side, wondering if the monster recognized him, but the other side didn't say a word.
There was no shyness of selling stolen goods at all, and he remained squatting there, motionless.
After watching him for a while, Ji Huan stood up.
It doesn't make any sense to stalemate with the other party. It's getting late, A Jin has already taken him around, and they have to buy something and go back.
Just when Jihuan was "buying meat" at the stall next door, there was a sudden commotion in the place he just passed by. Jihuan turned his head to look and found that the source of the sound was exactly where he had just squatted.
The booth of that little monster!
Carrying the meat he just bought, Ji Huan saw a tall monster with a cloak fighting with the short monster.
He understood at a glance the reason for the fight: the tall monster seemed to be interested in the candy, but he did not intend to give money, but wanted to leave with the candy for nothing.
Of course the short monster didn't want to. He jumped up and slammed firmly on the tall monster. He was very fierce. When he bit down, the tall monster was furious.
The battle between the monsters ended quite quickly, the tall monster only waved his arm, and the short monster was thrown to the ground by him. The candy naturally fell into the tall man's hand, but before he left, he threw a shiny object, which Ji Huan thought was probably money.
Ji Huan didn't know how much a "Liangjingjing" was worth, but looking at the attitude that no one picked it up, he knew that it was definitely worthless. The riots came and ended quickly. , those who buy things continue to buy things.
Although robbing things by force is against the way of trading, it is an eternal truth that weak people have no right to own things, and no one cares about what happens to short monsters.
The short monster like a broken pocket lay quietly in the soil, and after a while, Ji Huan thought that he might not be able to do it this time, but he got up again.
He quickly picked up the "rat" from the original "booth", and then, he went to grope in the soil next to him. After groping for a long time, he found the coin left by the tall man just now.
Without wiping, he put the coin in his pocket.
Then he drew a new circle on the ground with his paws, threw the "rat" in, and he continued to set up the stall.
Jihuan pulled Ajin and took Ajin to the booth of the little monster. He asked Ajin to pay for the "mouse".
This time, Ah Jin didn't use gold coins to pay the bill, but "Bright Jingjing" like everyone else here. He paid three coins in total, and the only commodity for the short monster was in their hands.
The little monster who got the payment for the goods left immediately. Jihuan took the "mouse" and watched him walk silently to the water-selling booth to line up. When it was his turn, he took out four "bright crystals" from his pocket. In the end, a bottle of water the size of the cap was exchanged.
He drank the water in one gulp, and the little monster left without looking back.
"Everyone here grew up like this, let's go." Standing beside Ji Huan, he said softly, and A Jin turned and left.
So, did Ah Jin also grow up like this
Bewildered, Ji Huan was stunned for a moment, then caught up with A Jin's footsteps ahead.
