As soon as I entered the house, I could smell the smell of meat, so I thought this meal would be quite substantial.
"It smells so good! Aunt Luo, did you make something delicious?"
"Chen Yao is back! I made youfen dried meat today!"
"Oh~ Isn't this our little girl? Come let Auntie hold her! Hey~ She's so good! Auntie will give you delicious food later!"
Luo Pingshui hugged Yina and coaxed her up, never looking at Chen Yao again.
Okay, so love disappears, right?
................................................................. ...
At the dinner table, Chen Yao kept picking up the rice and ate three large bowls. After all, this was the last meal he had in the village.
"Ouch, eat slower, kid."
"Mother, where did this meat come from? Didn't we use up all the meat for the celebration yesterday?"
Yue Li asked.
"This piece of air-dried meat was sent by Qingshan Village Chief this morning."
"He also told you about your affairs. Are you going to leave again this afternoon? Sigh... I don't know if this method is reliable or not. Once you go out, you don't know when you can come back..."
Qiu Mu put down her chopsticks as she spoke, looking worried.
"Pa!" Qiu's father slammed the table angrily.
"You are so! You don't expect anything good! It's a good thing that the children are out! Do you want the children to stay in this bottomless ditch all their lives?!"
"Okay, Uncle Qiu, don't be angry. Auntie is also worried about us. Don't worry! We will definitely go out safely this time and come back in good condition. Come on, uncle, eat some food."
"That's right! As big brother is here, it'll be no problem!"
Chen Yao saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly smoothed things over. Xiao Hu also hurriedly agreed. After that, Chen Yao gave Yina another chopstick.
Although Yina is still not used to using chopsticks, it does not affect her rapid eating. With this amount of food, Chen Yao has felt a big head for several times...
"Yeah, you've all grown up, it's time to let you go and have your own way."
Father Qiu smiled with relief, and then the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually relaxed. The meal ended with food again, and Yina still shouted that she was not full...
After the meal, Qiu Mu stuffed a lot of dry food for several people. After putting it away, they went back to the house to pack their belongings. After all, this was a real trip, so they needed to make some preparations.
Chen Yao was well prepared and took the Yun Xi sisters to the village chief's house. The three of them, grandfather and grandson, were already waiting in the outer courtyard. There was a pile of patched equipment neatly stacked on the ground in the courtyard.
There were also some tools such as nails, hammers, ropes, etc. piled nearby. There were also a few pairs of strange spikes, roughly the size of the soles of feet. Jiang Qingshan seemed to notice the doubts of several people and explained aloud.
"These spikes are tied to the feet with ropes for climbing. Okay, put your equipment away. Each person takes two sets of tools and follow me."
Jiang Qingshan wandered towards the forbidden area, and several people gathered their things and followed him. Only Chen Yao followed from a distance, mainly because he secretly went to Jiang Qingshan's study and spent some time. .
After arriving at the place, Qiu Yueli looked around, as if looking for something, and then lowered her head in despair.
"Grandpa Qingshan...are there just a few of us? It's so deserted..."
"What you need to do this time is extraordinary, and there is no room for error. I didn't call everyone to avoid distracting you."
Jiang Qingshan patted Qiu Yueli's shoulder and said seriously.
"I know you can't let go of your parents, but...children have to grow up and learn to go out on their own, right?"
"I understand, Grandpa Qingshan."
"Huzi, you climb up first and try to see if the tool is stable."
"OK."
Jiang Hu put a rope around his waist, tightened it again, put away the hammer and nails, and climbed up the blade in twos and twos.
When he was about to take out the tools and drive the nails into the vine branches, he was interrupted by Chen Yao's voice.
"Xiaohu, drive your nails slightly downwards, so they are easier to pick up!"
"knew!"
Driving a large iron nail diagonally into the branch, Jiang Hu tied the other end of the rope, then lowered his legs and suspended his body in the air to test the load-bearing effect.
"Grandpa, no problem!"
"Forget it, I'd better go up and take a look, Lili, come and help!"
Chen Yao was a little worried and took out a large piece of wrapping cloth. With the help of Yue Li, he tied the two ends of the rope tightly to carry Yina firmly behind his back. Then he tied another rope around his waist and climbed up the giant blade.
"Yina, hold on tight, I won't care if I fall!"
"Know..."
Chen Yao carefully inspected the iron nail under the little tiger nail. After bearing a weight of nearly two hundred kilograms, the iron nail did not appear to be deformed or loose. This shows that the iron nail has good load-bearing capacity and the vines are extremely tough. powerful.
"Although it is a vine, its toughness and density are almost the same as those of a tree. It is worthy of being transformed by Jiang Zu..."
"Old village chief! It's really no problem! You can set off!"
Chen Yao greeted Jiang Qingshan below.
"Okay, Chen Yao! You have to take good care of these little guys! If anything happens to anyone, I can't spare you!"
Jiang Qingshan said with all his strength.
"knew!"
"Okay, Yun Xi, Yue Li, you go, be sure to pay attention to safety... Qing Yan, let's go."
"Dad...don't you...Oh, go ahead, girls, dad and I will go back first."
Jiang Qingshan raised his hand, then waved it as if nothing had happened and turned around, followed by Jiang Qingyan.
"Dad, don't you want to see them again? I don't know when I will come back now..."
Jiang Qingyan asked softly.
"That's all, we are distracting them..."
"That's right...alas!"
The father and son gradually walked away until they were no longer visible.
--------------------------
The Yunxi sisters climbed up to the lowest leaf with the help of Xiaohu and Chenyao, but this was just the beginning.
"I'll go ahead and try to see if this thing works."
Chen Yao bent down and tied two pairs of iron spikes to his feet, then nailed two iron nails at equal intervals between the two leaves. The distance between the two leaves is about two meters, which is just enough for Chen Yao's height.
Chen Yao grabbed the bottom iron nail with one hand, pushed his foot inward and dug into the vines to fix his body. Then he grabbed the upper iron nail with the other hand, took out his foot and stepped on the bottom iron nail to stand up straight, carefully Climbing up the blades diagonally above.
"No problem, this thing works pretty well. You guys wait a minute while I fix the rope first."
Chen Yao poked his head out from the leaves above and said.
Taking out two iron nails again, Chen Yao took out a rope and tied it to the upper iron nail. He also made a circle around the lower iron nail to ensure stability, and then lowered the other end of the rope.
"Yunxi, Lili, tie the rope and come up. Xiaohu, you come up last. Remember to pick up the nails."
"oh oh."
As soon as Xiaohu finished his response, Yun Xi grabbed the rope and jumped onto the leaf where Chen Yao was with a light kick.
"I don't have to go to so much trouble, I..." Yun Xi was interrupted by Chen Yao before he could finish his words.
"What are you? You can jump so high? You don't need to tie a rope? When you get to a higher and more dangerous place, you jump up immediately? What if you didn't jump up and made a mistake? Do you understand how serious it is?!"
Chen Yao's anger was obvious in his words at this time, and his tone made Qiu Yunxi frown slightly, obviously dissatisfied.
"I'll tie it when I get to a high place. It's too slow..."
"I don't care, either you tie it up! Or you get out! You have to listen to me after you get out. If you don't agree, you go back!"
Chen Yao crossed his arms, looking like he couldn't get enough of it.
"you..."
Qiu Yunxi was about to refute, but couldn't find the right words. After all, Chen Yao's words were really for safety reasons, when Yue Li's voice came from below.
"Yes, sister, you'd better tie it up, it's very dangerous if you fall!"
"Okay..." Qiu Yunxi had no choice but to compromise.
After Chen Yao climbed up with Yueli Xiaohu, he continued the previous operation, one after another without taking a breath, until the bottom became pitch black.
He couldn't remember how many times he climbed. In short, he was very tired and sat on the ground panting like a dead dog.
"Brother...are you tired?"
Behind her, Yi Na gently rubbed Chen Yao's hair, which was slightly damp with sweat.
"Huh...huh...a little bit..."
"Brother... be good... rest..."
Yina imitated Chen Yao's usual way of coaxing her and gently touched her head. This action made Chen Yao dumbfounded.
Suddenly, Chen Yao seemed to remember something, reached for his back, and pulled off Raya, who had been adhering to his body and slept all day.
"This guy almost forgot...Raya! Wake up!"
Chen Yao picked up the little guy with one hand and shook it vigorously.
"Um...what are you doing...arresting people's sleep..."
Raya in her hand half-opened her eyes and said confusedly.
"Hold on to me from now on? If you fall, you will die!"
"Hmm, I know, I know..."
The little thing responded nonchalantly, crawled back to Chen Yao's back and clung to it tightly, and then made no sound.
"It's really..."
"Have we been out for a while? How many leaves have we crawled on..." Chen Yao scratched his head.
"Forty-eight slices."
It was Qiu Yunxi who spoke out, and only she could remember such things.
"That's nearly a hundred meters. Alas... where are we now..."
Complaints are complaints. After resting for a while, they had to continue climbing. The group followed this unhurried progress until the light of the abyss above their heads dimmed.
"Ho! Ho! Climb...I can't crawl anymore..."
Chen Yao lay face down on the blade. He really had no strength at all.
"Yes, we climbed a total of 284 leaves today. In other words, we climbed a total of about 560 meters."
Compared to Chen Yao, Yun Xi, who was sitting with his legs crossed, looked much more relaxed. After all, the hard work was done by the two young men.
At this time, a biting strong wind blew by, causing the blades to sway slightly.
"Hiss...it's much colder here than in our village!"
Jiang Hu shrank his neck from the cold.
"Let's rest today. Tie the rope to avoid anything going wrong while resting."
Chen Yao stood up and hammered five nails on the vine, put Yina down, tied a rope around his waist and tied a nail on the other end, and several others quickly followed suit.
"Tianji, change."
Chen Yao drew up in his mind the appearance of a simple stove with a few short spikes at the bottom, and the light curtain popped up.
[Switch to a custom stove, the energy consumption rate is 0.01/h, and heat energy can be converted into a small amount of energy. Are you sure? 】
"confirm."
The silver bracelet on his left hand changed for a while, and a simple stove appeared in front of him. Chen Yao inserted the blade into the stove and fixed it, took out a pile of firewood and stuffed it into the stove, lit it with a touch of fire in his palm.
"Let's eat something first. Let's eat something different today, hehehehe."
Chen Yao took out a dozen rye cakes and pressed them against the wall of the stove. He placed a clay pot on top of the stove and poured in two bottles of bottled water. He also put three cans into the pot to heat them.
"Eh? Brother Yao, what is this jar?"
"This...this is what was found from those two guys."
"These are called cans. They contain food that can be stored for a long time. But there are only three left. I gave the others to the village chief and asked him to share them with everyone."
"Hehe, brother, you really care about everyone. Otherwise, you should be the next village chief."
Xiaohu smiled.
"Go away! How can you have the same moral character as the old man? I don't want to be the head of Laoshizi Village, and my surname is not Jiang. I will be whoever I like!"
Chen Yao got angry when he heard this. The three of them, grandfather and grandson, all had this kind of virtue.
"..."
"It seems almost done."
Chen Yao put out the bowls and chopsticks, took out the rye cakes and divided two into each person, and gave the remaining six or seven to Yina.
"Brother eats...sister eats..."
The girl stood up and wanted to share the rye cake in the bowl with Chen Yao and others.
"It's okay. My brother and sister have small appetites, so they are full. Nana, I have a big appetite. Eat a few more to avoid starvation. Be good."
Qiu Yunxi said with a full smile.
"Sister is right, you are growing now and you need to eat more to grow up. In the future, Yina will definitely become more beautiful than my sister and I!"
Qiu Yueli also echoed.
"Well...thank you sister..."
"The canned food is ready!"
Ladle a bowl of water for each person and take the canned food directly from the pot with your hands.
That's right, even when holding it, his palms are not afraid of flames, and naturally they are not afraid of high temperatures.
"Click!"
Chen Yao followed the explanation in the ancient book and fastened the ring of the can. When he pulled it, a scent suddenly came out of the can.
"Wow! What a smell! It smells so good! Brother Yao~ Brother Yao~"
Yue Li was acting coquettishly while sniffing, while Yi Na on the side was also staring at the can in Chen Yao's hand.
"Brother...it's delicious, it's delicious..."
Ina held a half-eaten pancake in one hand, and pulled Chen Yao's arm with her other hand.
"Okay, okay! Don't rush, don't rush, I'll give it to you right away!"
When it was completely opened, the can contained thick soup mixed with two kinds of lumps. One was some kind of meat, and the other should be some kind of vegetable. Chen Yao took a piece of each and put it into his mouth.
"Hot, hot, hot... um... pink... glutinous and a little sweet, these should be the potatoes recorded in the book.
Hmm...the meat is a bit chewy and chewy, like rock-skin pork. Hmm...this canned meat tastes pretty good. "
Chen Yao turned his head, and Yina beside him had already puckered his mouth. He hurriedly opened all three cans, divided the vegetables and meat into another bowl for the four of them, and his own was mostly soup.
"Eat, eat, be careful not to burn it."
Chen Yao lovingly rubbed the girl beside him who was shaking her head.
"Yeah! It's time to eat! Uh-huh... this Hoho Seven... um... smells so good! Isn't this what those two bad guys are reluctant to eat? Hehe..."
Qiu Yueli said a little naively while devouring her food. In comparison, among the others, only Chen Yao and Yun Xi ate more gracefully.
"I'm afraid not... As far as I know, canned food is emergency food. Its advantages are that it is durable in storage and easy to carry, but the taste is relatively poor."
"But it's so delicious...how strange..."
Qiu Yueli's mouth was filled with soup, while Yun Xi carefully wiped it away for her.
"Wow! This water tastes great too! It's a little sweet! It doesn't smell like sand either."
"This should be filtered water. It can only be said that there is a lack of supplies in the black abyss..."
"It doesn't matter. When we go out, there will be more delicious food. They are all more delicious than canned food."
"Wow! Really?! I will take it back to my parents for a taste when the time comes! Well...and the village chief! And those younger brothers and sisters...and..."
Yue Li waved the rye cake in her hand and said longingly.
"Okay, okay, eat quickly! When Yina finishes eating her bowl, you won't be able to keep what's in your bowl!"
"Ah!! No! I haven't eaten much yet!"
"Brother... hate it!"
The girl waved her pink fist and gave Chen Yao a gentle blow.
"Ouch! Hey...just kidding."
"..."
Halfway through the meal, Raya woke up suddenly, got out of her clothes and made a fuss, maybe because she smelled something.
Chen Yao had no choice but to share his food with her, which made him not full. After eating, the guy continued to sleep soundly.
"Alas! I have raised a group of big eaters!" Chen Yao sighed.
