Since the arrival of spring, it has been getting warmer and warmer every day.
The Kamuda Valley is surrounded by lush greenery, singing birds and fragrant flowers, and the golden floating light quietly passing over the leopard tribe, rendering a dazzling brilliance.
Ji Xiaoou moved all the firecrackers in the space outside in bundles. Although the air in the space is not too humid, in order to prevent the firecrackers from getting damp, it is better to take them out to dry occasionally.
Some firework tubes were relatively large, and Ji Xiaoou moved them back and forth several times, but gradually he couldn't do what he wanted, and he was so tired that he was out of breath.
She stepped on a stool and placed the last firework tube on the highest floor. Because it was placed crookedly, she saw the wall of fireworks in front of her shake and tilted towards her side——
Ji Xiaoou was in a hurry, he hurriedly stretched out his hands to support him, but he couldn't help him, he was about to be hit by fireworks...
Suddenly there was a temperature behind him, and a pair of arms stretched out from Ji Xiaoou's side, firmly supporting the fireworks, and at the same time, he also wrapped Ji Xiaoou's body in his arms.
Ren straightened the fireworks, and after confirming that they would not fall again, he freed up one hand to grab Ji Xiaoou's waist, lifted her from the stool, turned around, faced him, and pressed his eyebrows, "These What is it?"
Ji Xiaoou touched his cheek and said seriously: "Fireworks, firecrackers."
Ji Xiaoou didn't plan to hide it from Ren, and told his plan, "I want to use these things to make explosives. Explosives are easier to carry than firecrackers, and they are also more powerful. After they are made, they can be carried on the body for self-defense at any time..."
Halfway through the speech, Ji Xiaoou saw that Ren didn't understand, so he paused, and concluded: "Anyway, it's a very powerful thing."
Ji Xiaoou's things are all kinds of strange things, Renn sees them often, he raised his eyelids, fixed his eyes on Ji Xiaoou's back, "How to make it?"
Ji Xiaoou pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed when he said it, "I haven't figured it out yet, I'll tell you when I figure it out."
Ren: "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"No," Ji Xiaoou shook his head, "The components involved are a bit complicated, and I haven't decided on it yet, but I just heard my father mention it a few times..."
Ji Xiaoou's parents are both university professors and intellectuals, one is engaged in chemical research and the other is an archaeologist.
The two were open-minded, conservative but not pedantic, and never deliberately avoided discussing academic issues with Ji Xiaoou at home. Over time, Ji Xiaoou learned a lot from them.
The little guy drooped his eyelids. Seeing that he was about to think about going back again, Ren interrupted her thoughts, "How powerful is it?"
Ji Xiaoou raised his eyes, blinked, and then realized that Ren was asking her about the power of the explosives. She thought for a moment, not knowing how to explain it to him, so she just said, "I'll tell you tonight."
At night, Ji Xiaoou took Ren to the back mountain and found a relatively flat place with higher terrain.
She took out the fireworks that had been dried during the day from the space and placed them on the flat ground in front of her, with four or five tubes side by side.
Then I observed the environment. The orcs here have a regular schedule and go to sleep on time when it gets dark. At this time, she and Ren are probably the only ones who come out for activities, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.
Ji Xiaoou took out the lighter from the space, and with a "click", red sparks suddenly lit up in his hand.
She aimed the flame at the fire primer on one side, and the fire primer was ignited instantly, burning quickly with a "sizzling".
Ji Xiaoou quickly stood up, grabbed Ren's arm and ran back, hiding under a huge and dense camphor tree.
At the same time, the fireworks exploded in front, with a "bang", a beam of light shot up into the sky, and in an instant, it was radiant and colorful.
Immediately afterwards, one after another fireworks continued to bloom.
"Bang, bang, bang", the sound is endless.
The fireworks broke free from the shackles of darkness, and they caught the eye brightly, like a thrilling baptism.
…
Under the fireworks, the girl's eyes were shining, and the multi-colored light shone on her cheeks, enveloping her outline, and only a pair of eyes were astonishingly bright like fireworks blooming in mid-air.
Ji Xiaoou was fascinated by watching, and suddenly remembered the scene when he was with his family during the Chinese New Year, so he didn't pay attention to Ren's gaze.
After a long time, until the fireworks were set off, Ji Xiaoou regained his senses and turned to look at Ren, "Ren, the one just now was fireworks. Every time we celebrate festivals or encounter happy things, we will set off fireworks to celebrate. Is there anything to be happy about?"
"Yes." Ren looked at her and said.
"What is it?"
"My female offered to ask me to go out with her."
Ji Xiaoou's face became hot: "..." She obviously wanted him to watch the fireworks, okay? It's not a date, so what's there to be happy about...
The girl's cheeks were distressed, and even in the dim night, one could see that she was uncomfortable.
The corner of Ren's mouth curled up, and he chuckled, extremely restrained, "Is this what you mean by 'very powerful'?"
Well, Ji Xiaoou knew that he was underestimated.
Fireworks really cannot be compared with dynamite. Fireworks are originally something to watch. Except for the moment when they bloom, they are not flashy at all. It is no wonder that Ren is not interested in this kind of thing.
Ji Xiaoou pursed his lips and did not argue with him, "You will know when I make it."
In the next few days, Ji Xiaoou devoted himself to researching the method of making explosives.
For this reason, Ji Xiaoou specifically begged Ren to build a small wooden house behind the kitchen to store her "research equipment" and materials. Cotton, charcoal, firecrackers, and all kinds of other things piled up the whole room.
Five days had passed since Winter brought back the news that Pat had died.
No matter how much pain and unwillingness Ji Xiaoou had, he had to accept this reality.
Originally, Ji Xiaoou still had a glimmer of hope. Since the space is connected to the bus in the real world, can she return to the original world through the space
But the space has no end, no end, and no exit in sight, no matter how many times she tries, there is no result.
Longstanding pillars had been taken away, hopes of returning home shattered, and if nothing else was done to divert her attention, she might not be able to hold on any longer.
What's more, according to her current ability, she can't guarantee her own safety at all.
If she can only stay here, she must have a self-protection ability.
In a moment of distraction, the distilled ether with a bamboo tube at hand overturned and flowed into the ingredients she had prepared, and a trace of thick smoke rose in front of her. Li ran out.
As soon as I stood at the door, I heard a dull explosion in the room, and then, smoke filled the entire room, scrambling to overflow from the doors and windows.
Ji Xiaoou stood there helplessly, looking at the messy hut, not knowing what to do.
Uh…
It's over.
She accidentally blows up Rain's house.
what to do? Will Ryan be angry
Ah, no... A lot of her raw materials are in it, I wonder if it will be blown away
Just when Ji Xiaoou couldn't help but want to break in, Ren was awakened by the explosion here, and came out from the next room, with one arm around Ji Xiaoou, successfully preventing her death, just fell asleep Waking up with a hoarse voice, he asked, "What are you doing?"
Ji Xiaoou shrank his shoulders guiltily, "I want to take out the contents..."
Ren put her in a safe place and looked up at the smoky hut, "Didn't you see the fire inside?"
Ji Xiaoou lowered his head, "I see."
It is precisely because I saw her that I broke in... Her things are all in there, although cotton and charcoal are everywhere, and firecrackers are put into the space by her, but ether and sulfur and other things are made by her with great difficulty...
Fortunately, what Ji Xiaoou refined was not pure, and the fire was not too big, so Ren put it out with water after a while.
Ji Xiaoou picked up the clay pot to extinguish the last flames, turned his head, looked at Ren with his ashen face, and said, "I'm sorry."
Ren threw the bucket aside, heard this, and looked sideways at Ji Xiaoou, "Huh?"
"I burned your house down."
Ren paused slightly, without changing his expression, "The house was originally built for you, and you can burn as many houses as you want."
"..."
I don't know if Ren's words were too lethal, or Ji Xiaoou became less and less resistant to him, anyway, after hearing these words, Ji Xiaoou's face suddenly turned red.
"But..." Ren walked up to her, stretched out his paws to wipe the dust off her face, bent down, stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, with a low voice, "Next time remember to say that our house , so I won't be angry."
The hotness on Ji Xiaoou's face spread all the way to the back of his ears, he stepped back and muttered: "I don't..."
"Want to repent?" Ren stopped her words directly, lowered his eyes, and licked her lips gently, "Aren't you humans the most honest? Since you promised me to stay and not live with me, what do you want?" Who do you live with?"
Ji Xiaoou was so choked by him that he couldn't speak.
She was too desperate at the time, she couldn't go home, and there was no place for her here.
Ren appeared just right and brought her hope. She didn't think much about it at the time, and agreed to his proposal.
Now it seems that it was too easy to agree...
It's a pity that here in Rennes, there is no room for repentance.
Ren held the back of the girl's head with a paw, and before she could speak, he pried open her teeth with his tongue, broke in, and blocked all her words.
