The sweetness of white porridge, mixed with the freshness of green vegetables, the two different flavors are perfectly combined. After eating a bowl of porridge, Nian Bing feels as if his strength has recovered a bit, and his spirit has improved a lot. The porridge brought him the feeling of lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth, and the extremely satisfying taste made him feel a little bit more fond of Cha Ji.
"Grandpa, thank you. This porridge is so delicious, did you make it?" Nian Bing asked curiously.
A gloomy look flashed across Chaji's eyes, "Now, I can only cook this kind of ordinary food."
"Ordinary? How come? This porridge is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. It tastes really good. Even if my mother cooked it before, it is definitely not as good as its taste." Mentioned his mother , Nian Bing's eye circles couldn't help turning red, and the intense hatred radiated, which made Cha Ji on the side secretly startled.
"Little friend, I still don't know your name? Why did you fall into the water? Where is your adult?"
Nian Bing froze all over. Although he was only ten years old, he has been running around with his father for the past few years. He is much more mature than children of the same age. His father once told him that he only said three points to everyone. The truth of what he said, after he inadvertently revealed his words two years ago and caused himself and his father to be hunted down for a month, he had already understood deeply. Lowering his head, he said, "My name seems to be Nian Bing, I can't remember anything else."
After all, Nian Bing is only ten years old. In front of Cha Ji who is old in accidents, how can people believe such words? However, Cha Ji didn't ask any more questions. He smiled slightly and said, "My name is Cha Ji, and you can call me Grandpa Cha. You said you have forgotten everything, so where do you go?"
Nian Bing held back his tears and shook his head, "I, I don't know where to go."
Seeing his sad look, Chaji couldn't bear it a little, "Forget it, kid, I know you must have some secret in your heart that you don't want to tell. Grandpa won't force you. If you want, you can stay here temporarily." Well, anyway, I am the only one in this peach blossom forest."
Nian Bingmeng opened his eyes wide, and said firmly: "No, thank you, Grandpa Cha, but I have to leave, you saved me, I can't implicate you."
Cha Ji frowned slightly, "So, someone is chasing you. Who is so cruel, even a child as young as you is not spared. You kept calling for father and mother in your sleep. Could it be that your Have your parents been in trouble?"
The tears could no longer be controlled and flowed down his face, Nian Bing cried out in pain, Cha Ji hurriedly hugged him into his arms, and comforted him: "Okay, everything is over. You must have been frightened, I This place is very secret, and it’s a so-called forbidden place. Most people won’t come here. You should stay here with peace of mind. At least wait until you’re healthy before considering leaving. Go to sleep a little longer, and grandpa will cook you something good to eat in the evening "Under the comfort of Chaji, Nian Bing fell asleep again.
When the ten-year-old Nian Bing woke up from his sleep again, his mind had completely stabilized, the sunlight that had been shining through the window had disappeared, and the birds seemed to have returned to their nests to rest, and the surroundings became silent .
Getting up from the bed, Nian Bing found that he was wearing a large coarse cloth, which was obviously made by Chaji. After moving his body, it seemed that he was not so tired anymore, and he opened the door lightly and walked out. The surroundings were pitch black, and it was impossible to see the scenery clearly. The night fog filled the air, bringing a bit of chill. He subconsciously tightened his clothes, and walked towards another bright room next to him. I accidentally bumped into something under my feet, and there was a light sound.
"Nian Bing? Come in." Cha Ji's voice came from the room.
Nian Bing pushed the door and walked in. This is a wooden house that is bigger than his house. Cha Ji held a book in his hand and looked at it under the bright oil lamp. Seeing him walk in, Cha Ji put the book on the On the side, smiled and said: "Let's go, grandpa will take you to the kitchen. It's all ready just now, just heat it up."
At this time, Nian Bing realized that Chaji's figure was extremely tall, but his upper body was already a little bent. With his arms around Nian Bing's narrow shoulders, Cha Ji led him out of the room, and said as he walked, "I only live in this small courtyard by myself. I don't feel lonely if I have you as my companion. Come, have a look." What delicious food did Grandpa prepare for you?"
The kitchen is five meters away from the two bedrooms. It is a separate room. When Nian Bing came here with Chaji, he was surprised to find that the kitchen was bigger than the house he lived in and Chaji's combined. Be big.
Cha Ji lit the oil lamp, and on the case next to him were several plates of vegetables covered by a wooden cover. The wooden cover was woven from rattan, and one could see through the gaps that the plates contained vegetables. .
Chaji opened the cover, and there were four dishes of green vegetables inside. The four kinds of green vegetables in different shapes seemed to be cooked simply. Cha Ji walked to the stove aside and paused, took out the flint, and lit the uneven firewood with trembling hands. "I've been cooking the dish for a while, but it's a pity that it's cold. Let's heat it up. Although the taste will be a little bit worse, it won't be too far off."
Nian Bing was surprised to find that Cha Ji's hand was shaking all the time. Although the flint sparked sparks during the collision, it was difficult to ignite the firewood because his hand was very unstable. He quickly walked over obediently and said, "Grandpa, let me help you."
Chaji sighed, and a look of gloom came over his face again, and he passed the flint to Nian Bing, "I'm old, I'm really old, I should use oil lamps. Who would have thought that the ghost chef back then, now Even the fire can’t be ignited, everything has become a thing of the past.”
Nian Bing didn't pick up the flint, and didn't pay attention to Chaji's words. His spirit was completely concentrated, and he said softly: "The passionate fire element, please, condense into the light of the flame, and bring warmth to the world." His The sound is not steady, but with a special tone, which is a tone that resonates. The little hand stretches out under the stove, and a small red flame rises up. Although the fire is not very bright, but, The firewood in the stove will burn immediately when it encounters an open flame.
Chaji stared at Nian Bing dumbfounded, and murmured: "Magic, this is fire magic. Great god! Did you send this child to me on purpose? Thank you, thank you, I finally have It's great." He cheered incoherently, and Nian Bing, who was watching, couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and Chaji seemed to be no longer slumped at this time, standing up straight, looking at the ceiling excitedly and cheering.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Cha, what's wrong with you?"
Cha Ji came back to his senses, grabbed Nian Bing's shoulders with both hands, and said excitedly: "My child, you are a magician, right? Tell Grandpa that you are a fire magician."
Nian Bing was shocked all over, and realized that he had leaked his magic ability on a whim. He shook his head vigorously, "No, I'm not, I, I'm not."
"No, you are." Chaji said with certainty, "son, don't worry, grandpa doesn't have any malice towards you. I'm just too happy. You are so young, but you are already a magician. This is God's gift to me." O favor!"
Nian Bing seemed to see the scene in the Ice God Tower again, and shouted excitedly, "No, I'm not, I'm not."
At this time, Chaji realized that Nian Bing, who had just recovered from the panic, was a little unbearable under his own stimulation, and hurriedly said: "My child, listen to me, can you listen to me first? Take a look." My hand." He said, he let go of Nian Bing, and turned his hands upwards, exposing his wrists.
Nian Bing was attracted by Chaji's words, and subconsciously looked at his wrists, "Ah—" Chaji's wrists each had a scar, a scar about one centimeter deep. Although the wound had already healed, but The scars are shockingly present. The entire wound was sunken inward, showing a purple-black color, which looked extremely terrifying.
