On the way back to Danfeng, Qin Ran felt a strange feeling in his heart. It was probably because someone was waiting for him at home, and it was a woman... a girl... a girl. This feeling was really wonderful.
His steps became lighter, and even when he walked on the stone road in the Danfeng Forest, he felt a sense of anticipation in his heart... It was an eagerness to return home that he had not felt for many years.
But when he walked out of the forest, stood at the entrance of the forest, and saw the dirty clay man in the middle of the lawn in front, his excited heart instantly calmed down.
Li Shiyin was very well behaved and obedient. Born into a military family, she would not slack off once she received an order. In just one day, she had dug a huge hole out of thin air. And she did not dig in the wrong place. After all, it only took her one day, so even if she made a mistake, it would not be a big mistake.
only…
Qin Ran sat on the grass beside the earth pit, looking at the clay figure lying beside him with dull eyes. He thought of the cold and beautiful Tian Wenjin. Why did he think that this silly and dirty girl in front of him could form a peerless duo with her!!!
"Have you had lunch?" he asked.
Li Shiyin ached all over and felt like she couldn't even lift a finger. She replied weakly, "Master, since you're not here, where can I go to eat?"
“Huh?” Qin Ran felt his blood pressure soar.
So this silly girl didn’t know how to cook, and there were so many things in the refrigerator in the kitchen, all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, rare animals, but she didn’t know how to cook and didn’t have lunch!
Look up at the sky!
It turns out that he should send her away, otherwise he will be angry to death sooner or later.
Jianfeng? No, no, no, she is too stupid and unworthy of learning swordsmanship. She should find a sect to practice individual cultivation. That would be suitable for her.
"There is a story in my hometown..." Qin Ran also lay down, looking at the clouds in the sky, and said quietly,
"A family had a stupid son. Once, the parents were going on a long trip. They were worried that the stupid son would starve to death at home, so they made a big cake for him and hung it around his neck. As long as he lowered his head, he could eat the cake and would not starve. But when they came back after their work, they found that their son had still starved to death. Do you know why?"
Li Shiyin thought about it seriously and asked, "Is there not enough bread?"
“Huh…” Qin Ran exhaled lightly, trying to control his blood pressure, and said, “Because he is a fool. He only knows how to eat what’s in front of him, not what’s behind him.”
"Oh!" Li Shiyin tilted her head and suddenly realized, "Oh oh... I see, Master, you are saying I am stupid! There is food in the kitchen, but I don't know how to cook it."
Qin Ran was silent because he didn't know what to say. Should he praise her for being smart
Master and Disciple
After lying on the grass for a while, Li Shiyin's stomach suddenly growled. She felt a little embarrassed and said weakly, "Master... Master... I'm hungry..."
Qin Ran closed his eyes tightly, but finally stood up and walked towards the residential building. He said to Li Shiyin, "I'll go cook, you go take a shower."
Li Shiyin got the order, got up and chased after Qin Ran.
After dinner, Qin Ran went to the storage room, rummaged around inside, and found a large wooden barrel, the kind used for bathing.
Before the bathroom had a bathtub, he liked to use this tub to take a bath. Now he took it out and prepared to give it to Li Shiyin.
He went out with his bathtub and went to the river to draw water to wash.
When Li Shiyin saw it, she ran over and asked curiously, "Master, why are you washing this?"
"For you to take a bath." Qin Ran controlled the flow of water and answered casually.
"Ah?" Li Shiyin didn't quite understand. "Isn't there a bathtub in the bathroom?"
"Medicinal bath." Qin Ran explained.
"Oh!" Li Shiyin understood a little. She had worked hard to dig the lake for a whole day. Now she was sore all over. If nothing unexpected happened, she might have difficulty getting up tomorrow.
The master is a serious alchemist, so it is normal for him to use medicine to assist in his practice.
She watched from the side, watching Qin Ran control the water flow to rinse the wooden barrel inside and out, and suddenly remembered something. She looked towards the storage room and asked, "Master, is that a flying sword in the storage room?"
"Which one?" Qin Ran was so frightened that he trembled all over and the barrel almost slipped into the river.
"It's the big iron sword with a guardrail." Li Shiyin said, gesturing.
“What kind of iron sword is this? And the flying sword…” Qin Ran pretended to be calm. “You are so young, but your eyesight is not good. You must be seeing things!”
"No..." Li Shiyin argued, and ran into the storage room to look for it, but after a round, she didn't find the big flying sword that she saw during the day. She ran out again, scratching her head, wondering, "Why is it gone?"
Qin Ran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Everyone said you were wrong."
He cleaned the wooden barrel and moved it to Li Shiyin's room. He moved the table to the window and placed the wooden barrel in the middle of the room.
"Why should it be placed in the middle?" Li Shiyin asked curiously again as she watched Qin Ran carefully measuring the position.
Mentally retarded children really have a lot of problems, Li Shiyin’s 100,000 Whys.
Qin Ran said with a blank expression, "Although it is not needed now, when you have established your foundation and your cultivation is high, the medicinal bath will need to be combined with the formation.
Only when used together can they play an effective role.”
"Oh!" Li Shiyin nodded. The master really thought far ahead.
"Okay, come with me..." Qin Ran placed the wooden barrel, fixed it, and called Li Shiyin to join him.
After going downstairs, Qin Ran picked up a pair of water buckets for Li Shiyin and took them to the research building.
Qin Ran asked Li Shiyin to wait in the alchemy room on the first floor while he went to the second floor to get the medicine. After a while, he came down with a bunch of herbs.
There is an alchemy furnace in the alchemy room, and under the furnace is the earth's core fire. Although Qin Ran mostly uses the water method, the fire method is more classic, and he naturally has studied it.
Moreover, most alchemy furnaces are used for fire-based alchemy, and fire-based alchemy can produce more tricks.
While Qin Ran was refining the elixir, he taught Li Shiyin, explaining to her the name of the medicinal ingredient, its function, when to put it into the furnace, when to use water, and when to use fire. He told her everything one by one.
However, it was obvious that Li Shiyin didn't listen to him. It took her only a quarter of an hour to make a medicinal bath and she almost fell asleep.
After refining the medicine, she put it into a bucket and Li Shiyin carried it herself from the research building to the dormitory building.
"Soak it yourself..." Qin Ran poured the medicine into the wooden barrel, added a few tonics that did not need to be refined, and said to Li Shiyin, "How long to soak it is up to you to feel. The first thing to note is that you should not drown..."
"How can you drown while taking a bath?" Li Shiyin laughed.
"Just listen to me. It's rude to interrupt someone." Qin Ran glanced at her and continued, "During the medicinal bath, the medicinal effects enter the body and repair the body's muscles. It's easy for people to fall asleep. If they fall asleep, they are likely to drown."
Li Shiyin thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. But drowning in the bath was indeed funny, so she suppressed her laughter and nodded.
"Second, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, come out immediately, stop soaking, and go to the bathroom to rinse off with clean water." Qin Ran instructed, "Then tell me in detail tomorrow so I can adjust the prescription."
"good."
"Third, be careful not to catch a cold." Qin Ran said, "If you soak in the water for too long, it's easy to catch a cold. Be careful."
After giving the instructions, he turned around and went out. Before closing the door, he was still worried about this silly apprentice, so he said, "If something is really wrong, you can call me. I'm in the study."
"Got it!" Li Shiyin responded loudly, feeling that her master was even more nagging than her mother.
Qin Ran went out and went straight to the study.
Li Shiyin closed the doors and windows, and sniffed the bathtub. The smell was a bit unpleasant, but she was not a pretentious person, so she took off all her clothes and got in.
