Chapter 191 The old man at the bottom of the cliff
"What time is it now?" Xiaoli asked.
Chi Li looked up at the sky and saw the sun was in the sky: "At the end of noon."
"I'm so hungry and thirsty." Sharing the body means sharing all the senses. When the body is hungry, not only Chili will feel it, but Xiaoli will feel the same way.
"I know, but there's nothing to eat or drink here, so just bear with it for now."
From last night to now, Xiaoli has been on the run. She has no time to drink or eat. Even now, she is still on the verge of death. Being thirsty and hungry is a natural physiological phenomenon of the body, and it is normal.
It's just that they are now trapped on the cliff, with no food or water source at all, and they can only endure it for the time being before they can escape.
It's not that Chi Li has never tried to open her soul space. However, in order to help Xiao Li survive, she was severely warned by the heavenly law of this world, and was also severely suppressed. She was not allowed to use half of her spiritual power and divine power. The power of consciousness and other powers that this world does not have.
Without the use of spiritual power and divine consciousness, there is naturally no way to open the soul space, nor to take out all the things stored in it. At this time, Chili is as miserable as the world when she was forced to fall into the wilderness to survive. Maybe the Wilderness 2 version will have to be staged here.
Of course, she can use this body to learn the martial arts of this world, but Xiaoli doesn't understand martial arts and can't teach her. Chili, on the premise that she can't use spiritual power to cast spells, can only be said to know some external fists and kicks. effort.
Without the secret book of internal strength, even if she meets a third-rate master with her little boxing skills, she will be beaten to a pulp.
Therefore, her top priority is to survive first, and then find a way to become a teacher and learn some powerful kung fu, and then she can plot revenge.
"We have to find a way to get out of here."
Chili lay on the edge of the stone platform and looked down. What he saw was a dizzying height. There were even drifting clouds at the bottom, making it impossible to see the specific appearance and estimate how far it was from the bottom of the cliff.
In this case, the plan of catching the vines hanging from the cliff and climbing down slowly would be a bit difficult to implement.
The main reason was that she was afraid that the estimated distance would be insufficient and the vines would not be long enough. She would get stuck halfway down, which would cause the sky to be unresponsive and the earth to be inoperable.
It would be better to continue climbing online. Visually, the distance between this stone platform and the top of the cliff is about 400 meters. It is very far, but it is still visible to the naked eye. It is not impossible to climb up if she tries hard, as long as she has enough physical strength. With enough luck.
Lucky Chili is not lacking, but she is not optimistic about this newly healed body.
This body has become as healthy as an ordinary person due to the healing of her spiritual power, but she is also like a girl who has been pampered and raised since childhood. She has a delicate body and small strength, and cannot bear the slightest exertion.
So Chi Li felt that it would be very difficult for her to climb to the top of the cliff on her own. Unexpectedly, she had just climbed here from a small tree, which was only a dozen meters away. She almost died of exhaustion. At that time, she was not as thirsty and hungry as she is now. .
As her hunger increased and her physical exertion increased, her chances of survival became slimmer.
Unless, look inside the cave and bet on a miracle.
"There seems to be the sound of water in that cave." Xiaoli said uncertainly.
"Yeah." Chili was not surprised. In fact, she had heard it a long time ago.
Not only that, she could also feel the sound of chains pulling and the breathing of some kind of creature in the cave, which seemed to contain some kind of living creature.
As before, even if the body nourished by spiritual power does not have any spiritual power, its five senses have been greatly enhanced, and it can detect subtle movements that ordinary people cannot detect.
It was because she knew that the situation inside the cave seemed a bit complicated that Chili was reluctant to step in out of caution. However, the reality was that they had been forced into a desperate situation, and it would be difficult for them to survive unless they found another way to survive.
"Want to go in and take a look?" Xiaoli asked.
"That's all it takes."
Chi Li stood up, bent down and got into the narrow cave entrance. It was very dark inside, and most of the light behind her was blocked by herself, so she couldn't see clearly. She took two steps, and suddenly her feet fell into the air, and she couldn't control herself. He fell backwards and slid straight down the sloping mountain path.
This unexpected situation was unexpected by Chi Li. She initially tried to hold up the stone wall with her hands to stabilize her body. The further down she went, the larger the cave seemed to be and the higher the angle of inclination. She kept waving her hand. Not only that my hands couldn't touch the stone wall at all, it slipped faster and faster, and finally reached a very dangerous speed.
There was Xiaoli's scream of "Ahhhhh..." in his mind, which made Chili dizzy.
She had no choice but to hold her head with both hands, try her best to protect her most important head, and let her body keep sliding down.
I was thinking in my heart, slide, slide, slide, no matter how long the slide is, it will always come to an end.
This was indeed the case. After sliding in the dark for who knows how long, Chi Li could feel the slope of the stone path gradually slowing down, and her sliding speed also gradually slowed down. In addition, the surface of the stone path was not completely smooth, and there were still some unevenness, which increased The friction increased and the deceleration effect was increased. Slowly, Chili's sliding figure stopped.
She waved her hand left and right, but still couldn't touch the stone wall. She could only resort to the next best thing and groped for the uneven place under her body with her fingertips to steady herself, and sat there to take a breath.
"Finally stopped, I was scared to death." Xiaoli said in tears.
"There is water." Chi Li raised her head and could feel the drop of water hitting her face.
From the smell, she couldn't tell what kind of water it was. It was definitely not the saliva of some dangerous animal, so she breathed a sigh of relief and tentatively reached out to touch it.
Being able to barely touch a stone tip, like a bamboo shoot growing upside down, Chi Li probably guessed what it was.
Stalactites.
In this case, this water should be drinkable.
Opening her mouth and pointing in the direction of the water droplets, Chili slowly drank in the water. She felt that her thirsty throat was gradually soothed by the moisture of the water, and she felt a little unsatisfied.
There is really very little water dripping drop by drop.
She is a fish, and she prefers to be immersed in a lot of water and enjoy the happiness of being surrounded by water.
But now I have no conditions, I can only drink as much as I can.
"Finally I can drink water." Xiaoli also felt the moisture of the water. She hoped that Chili could stay where she was for a while and drink more water before leaving, but Chili just continued to move a little bit after quenching her thirst. Slide down.
We’re all here now, it’s unrealistic to climb up again, so let’s go down and have a look.
The stalactites all appear in pieces, it is impossible for only one to grow, and the body can feel that the entire stone path is slippery. This means that there is not only one stalactite dripping water, but there must be many. The stalactites drip together with water over many years to form this slippery path.
Chi Li kept holding on to the concave and convex parts with both hands to stabilize her body, and slowly moved down. The stone path was very slippery, and she didn't want to go down the slide again.
Fortunately, she had already reached the bottom of the stone path. When she saw a light in front of her, she knew she had reached another exit.
He hurriedly speeded up and moved over there. When he came to the exit, he climbed out and saw a bright cave passage.
There was a thin river flowing in the middle of the cave passage. Some of the water came from unknown places, and some gushed out from the stone passage behind her. A long and narrow gap opened at the top of the cave, reaching straight to the sky, and the sunlight filtered through. This gap pours down, illuminating this cave.
It's not right to call it a cave. This place can already be called a canyon. It's just that the stone walls above the canyon are closed too tightly. The widest is no more than the thickness of two fingers, and the thinnest are even close to each other. Only the bottom is open, but For one person to bend over to get in and out.
It has to be a relatively thin person like Chi Li. Anyone who is slightly fatter will not be able to come in.
Appearing here, they have two options.
Either go left or right. I don’t know the specific situation on either side. In fact, I don’t have any choice...
"Hold the grass!"
Suddenly seeing something that shouldn't be here, Chi Li immediately turned around and went to the right passage. Fortunately, she was short. No, the original owner was short. Even if she needed to bend down to run, she didn't need to bend very low to allow her to run. The speed is much faster, so that he can narrowly distance himself from the beast that suddenly rushes behind him.
"Hoohoho..."
The beast was dissatisfied with Chi Li's escape, and roared in dissatisfaction as it chased him. There seemed to be chains tied to his feet, and as he ran, clanging sounds were heard.
It turned out that this was the sound of the friction of chains and breathing that Chili heard.
Wrong bet? Unexpectedly, the locked guy turned out to be a beautiful tiger.
So it wasn't actually Chili who was running fast, it was mainly because the tiger's feet were tied by chains and couldn't run fast, so it was so hard to chase her, giving her a chance to survive.
Being chased by the tiger all the way, Chi Li didn't like it for a moment as he unknowingly reached the end of the passage. It seemed as if he had passed through some unknown barrier and suddenly transitioned from a small space to a wide area.
She subconsciously ran forward for some distance, until she noticed that the tiger behind her seemed to be no longer chasing her, and then she stopped and turned around to look.
At the entrance of the passage, the tiger that had just been chasing people seemed to find it boring, so it just lay there licking its paws and washing its face. It didn't show the ferocious look just now, and its tail hanging to the side was swaying proudly, obviously. She had a great time playing the chase game just now.
Chi Li: "..."
Xiaoli: "Is it teasing us?"
This is a no-brainer.
"Orange, come here." An old voice sounded. The tiger who heard the call got up, jumped up and down, and happily trotted all the way to an old man with gray hair and walking slowly, who was carrying a piggyback on his back, and surrounded him like a baby. He walked around the old man in circles, hooked him with his big paw, and rubbed his head.
The old man lovingly stretched out his hand and patted the tiger's big head. He looked up at Chili who was standing far away, smiled and waved her over: "Come here, little girl, this tiger is not vicious and will not hurt you."
Chi Li hesitated for a moment, looking around at the large iron chain connected to the tiger's hind legs, but still obeyed the old man's greeting and walked over silently.
"How did you get here?" The old man turned around and led the tiger and Chili slowly toward a small thatched house ahead.
Chi Li followed behind, hearing the jingle of chains being dragged. Hearing the old man's question, he thought about it and decided to tell the truth: "Junior accidentally fell off a cliff and found a cave on the cliff. I wanted to go in along the cave. I was looking for a way out, but I accidentally slipped and fell. When I got to the bottom, I met this tiger chasing me again. I ran here in a panic. If I disturbed you, I apologize to you, senior. I just ask you to point out a way out. I promise to leave immediately. And never disclose this place to outsiders.”
She guessed that she might have accidentally broken into someone else's retreat.
This is the case for some worldly masters. Tired of the hustle and bustle of the world, they stay away from the crowd and find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to live in seclusion.
Such people are generally not ordinary people, but they hate having outsiders interrupt their lives, so Chili thought about asking for directions and left quickly to avoid annoying others.
The key point is that this person also has a big tiger, and his own strength is even more incomprehensible, giving her an uncertain and uneasy feeling. The chains on the big tiger's feet are also very weird, and she can't tell who this person is. The devil is a heretic who kills people without batting an eyelid. If that were the case, she would have just left the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den.
The old man didn't care what the little girl behind him was thinking. He led people into the house. There happened to be two steaming meals on the table, as well as a half-eaten bowl.
Apparently, the old man was eating just now and came out to take a look when he heard the noise outside.
He could see Chi Li's hunger, and after bringing the person in, he said, "Sit anywhere you want," and then went into the kitchen to serve her a bowl of porridge and brought it out for her to eat.
"Hungry, let's eat first."
"……thanks."
Perhaps because the old man's attitude was too natural, Chili finally took the bowl and chopsticks he handed over, and then sat across from the old man to eat with him.
There were no guests originally planned to come, so the food cooked by the old man was naturally not enough. There was only one dish of green vegetables and one dish of salted fish. Chili did not dare to eat too much, so he drank more porridge and less vegetables.
After being hungry for so long, she was already satisfied with having something to eat. She didn't pursue anything else, as long as it could fill her stomach.
Instead, the old man saw that she was not picking up the food, so he took the dishes and poured some into her bowl: "Eat more, the little girl is so thin, how can I not eat more?"
Suddenly there was half a bowl of green vegetables and half a bowl of salted fish. Now Chili couldn't eat it anymore.
She finished eating everything, then consciously put away the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them. After washing the dishes and walking out, she saw the old man squatting in front of the big tiger, grinding little by little with something unknown.
Chili didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched silently.
After watching for a while, she understood. It turned out that the old man was helping the tiger to grind off the iron chain on his leg, but the chain was too thick. Even though it could be seen that the old man had been grinding for a long time, he just opened the chain slightly. Some.
The tiger was quite obedient at first, lying on the ground and letting the old man grind the chain. After a long time, the tiger became impatient and moved around. Then he simply stood up, dragged the chain to another place and jumped and played. Will come back and let the old man sharpen the iron chain.
"Is this tiger not an adult yet?"
After observing it for a while, Chi Li realized that the tiger should be a sub-adult tiger, probably only one to two years old. No wonder he could still squeeze into the narrow passage. If an adult tiger wanted to get in and out, it would still be difficult. Running and chasing people is obviously too much.
"Well, I rescued him. The little guy was caught somehow. If he hadn't happened to meet me, he would have been skinned and eaten by now."
The old man looked at the chain hanging on the tiger's hind legs and sighed: "It's a pity that I couldn't find the key to the chain at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have spent all this time grinding the lock on it."
"If it's lock-picking, I think I'm pretty good at it," Chili said.
Although they had not been together for a short time, she had been able to confirm that the old man had no ill intentions towards her, so in order to repay the kindness of the meal, she could repay him by unlocking his tiger.
"Oh, does the little girl know how to pick locks?" The old man looked at her in surprise.
Even Xiaoli was surprised: "Do gods know how to open locks?" Then she convinced herself: "By the way, gods know everything, so it doesn't matter if they just open a lock."
"Don't get me wrong, not all of us gods can open locks, it's just that I happened to learn it." Chi Li justified the names of other gods.
She has traveled through so many worlds that she no longer remembers all the miscellaneous things she has learned. Anyway, she knows a variety of skills and can naturally use them when needed.
The same goes for unlocking this time.
After waiting for the old man to call back the tiger that had run away, Chi Li took off the hairpin from the top of her head, squatted on the tiger's hind legs and fiddled with it to help it unchain.
After working on it for a while, the chain didn't open, and Chi Li frowned.
"Why, it can't be untied?" the old man asked, not blaming Chi Li in his words, but regretting that Juzi had to wait a little longer to get rid of the chains.
"No, this hairpin is not sharp enough. If you can make it thinner, it will be easier to open the lock." In addition to the size of the hairpin, it is also because this hairpin is made of pure gold and is a bit soft and difficult to operate.
It's soft but easy to overcome, just use some skills, but the size doesn't mean it won't penetrate the lock, so it's not that easy to open the lock.
"This is simple." When he heard that it was the reason, the old man directly raised his hand to take the gold hairpin from Chi Li's hand. He raised his hand and rubbed it, and then kneaded it into a thinner and sharper hairpin handle, which was enough to penetrate deep into the lock. Got it.
Chili didn't blame the old man for breaking her hairpin. She didn't want it much anyway. She took it and knocked it again, using some skills. She heard a click, the chain opened and fell to the ground, and the tiger was also freed from its restraints.
It seemed that he had not experienced this sense of relief for a long time. After the tiger got up and took two tentative steps, he happily turned around and jumped on Chili. He stretched out his rough tongue and kept licking her face, which was so itchy that Chili couldn't help it. Push it.
"Stop licking, itchy."
After finally rejecting the enthusiastic big tiger, Chi Li turned around and saw the old man watching this scene happily, and couldn't help but laugh.
This was the first time since she came to this world that she felt such relaxed joy.
The place where the old man lived was a sinkhole, surrounded by towering cliffs. There was a spacious open-air pit in the middle, and the sun shone directly down, illuminating the bottom of the pit.
A thin river flows in from the channel, winds around a U-shape on one side of the cliff, and then flows to an unknown place.
If there is sunshine, water, and land, it will naturally be possible to plant.
In addition to the thatched house, the old man also dug a lot of fields at the bottom of the pit, where grains and vegetables are grown. Even if he doesn't go out to buy things, he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking when he lives here, and he can live a very comfortable life.
Chili didn't know why she stayed. The old man's thatched house had two bedrooms, one of which was just for her to live in. There was also a tiger living in the same room.
This guy's affection for Chi Li has skyrocketed since he unlocked it. In addition to playing with himself and clinging to the old man, he would also cling to Chi Li. Especially after he found that Chi Li didn't mind him jumping into bed, that was even more so. He was so mad that he just came to stay on her bed.
It's not like the old man never mentioned it, but the tiger kept stopping and Chili pampered him, so he had no choice but to let it go.
Chi Li also knew that it was not good to let the tiger go to bed, but this big guy was too good at coquettishness. Every time she wanted to drive it out of bed, it would lie pitifully under her bed and whine. Not being soft-hearted, Xiaoli also became soft-hearted, and couldn't help but persuade Chili to let him go to bed. Every time, he said it was the last time, and he wouldn't ask him to come up next time. As a result, time and time again, there was no end.
It was simply that the autumn weather was getting colder at this time, and it was quite warm to have a warm big tiger sleeping with him at night. Chi Li just accepted it and crawled into bed and didn't rush him again.
Fall not only means cooler weather, but also a bumper harvest of crops in the fields.
Chili lived in someone else's house, so it was not good for her to just eat for free, so she naturally had to help with the work.
Fortunately, the old man did not plant much land, so the two of them and the troublesome tiger were busy for a while, and they were able to collect all the harvest in the field.
At this time, Chili, who felt similar, brought up the old story again.
She wants to go out.
Xiaoli's revenge has not yet been avenged, and even if they are living a good life now, no matter who they are, they cannot turn a blind eye to the more than [-] members of the Chi family who died tragically.
"What are you going out for? Are you going to die? How can you, a little girl with no martial arts skills, fight against those dangerous guys in the world?"
For the first time, the old man who was usually very kind to Chi Li was angry. He scolded her angrily, turned around and handed her another martial arts secret book at the dinner table: "Practice by yourself. If you don't understand, ask again." Old man."
After saying that, the old man buried himself in his meal and stopped talking to Chi Li.
Chi Li took the secret book and wanted to open it directly, but when she heard the old man's fake cough, she put the secret book down obediently and picked up her chopsticks to eat first. After finishing the meal and cleaning up, she went back to the house to read the secret book.
This secret book has no name, but after reading the prologue closely, the knowledgeable Chi Li can see the subtleties in it.
"This secret book is no less than a top skill." It is even close to the cultivation method. If you learn it deeply, it will not only extend your life, but its power is also quite terrifying.
She meant this to Xiaoli, so the old man walking by the door might as well hear it and couldn't help but leave with a smile on his face.
His free-range chickens, ducks and geese all grew fat and strong. One of the chickens was lame after being attacked by a tiger in the morning, so he might as well stew it and eat it. (End of chapter)
Chi Li looked up at the sky and saw the sun was in the sky: "At the end of noon."
"I'm so hungry and thirsty." Sharing the body means sharing all the senses. When the body is hungry, not only Chili will feel it, but Xiaoli will feel the same way.
"I know, but there's nothing to eat or drink here, so just bear with it for now."
From last night to now, Xiaoli has been on the run. She has no time to drink or eat. Even now, she is still on the verge of death. Being thirsty and hungry is a natural physiological phenomenon of the body, and it is normal.
It's just that they are now trapped on the cliff, with no food or water source at all, and they can only endure it for the time being before they can escape.
It's not that Chi Li has never tried to open her soul space. However, in order to help Xiao Li survive, she was severely warned by the heavenly law of this world, and was also severely suppressed. She was not allowed to use half of her spiritual power and divine power. The power of consciousness and other powers that this world does not have.
Without the use of spiritual power and divine consciousness, there is naturally no way to open the soul space, nor to take out all the things stored in it. At this time, Chili is as miserable as the world when she was forced to fall into the wilderness to survive. Maybe the Wilderness 2 version will have to be staged here.
Of course, she can use this body to learn the martial arts of this world, but Xiaoli doesn't understand martial arts and can't teach her. Chili, on the premise that she can't use spiritual power to cast spells, can only be said to know some external fists and kicks. effort.
Without the secret book of internal strength, even if she meets a third-rate master with her little boxing skills, she will be beaten to a pulp.
Therefore, her top priority is to survive first, and then find a way to become a teacher and learn some powerful kung fu, and then she can plot revenge.
"We have to find a way to get out of here."
Chili lay on the edge of the stone platform and looked down. What he saw was a dizzying height. There were even drifting clouds at the bottom, making it impossible to see the specific appearance and estimate how far it was from the bottom of the cliff.

As her hunger increased and her physical exertion increased, her chances of survival became slimmer.

"That's all it takes."
Chi Li stood up, bent down and got into the narrow cave entrance. It was very dark inside, and most of the light behind her was blocked by herself, so she couldn't see clearly. She took two steps, and suddenly her feet fell into the air, and she couldn't control herself. He fell backwards and slid straight down the sloping mountain path.

"Finally stopped, I was scared to death." Xiaoli said in tears.
"There is water." Chi Li raised her head and could feel the drop of water hitting her face.
From the smell, she couldn't tell what kind of water it was. It was definitely not the saliva of some dangerous animal, so she breathed a sigh of relief and tentatively reached out to touch it.
Being able to barely touch a stone tip, like a bamboo shoot growing upside down, Chi Li probably guessed what it was.

She is a fish, and she prefers to be immersed in a lot of water and enjoy the happiness of being surrounded by water.
But now I have no conditions, I can only drink as much as I can.
"Finally I can drink water." Xiaoli also felt the moisture of the water. She hoped that Chili could stay where she was for a while and drink more water before leaving, but Chili just continued to move a little bit after quenching her thirst. Slide down.
We’re all here now, it’s unrealistic to climb up again, so let’s go down and have a look.
The stalactites all appear in pieces, it is impossible for only one to grow, and the body can feel that the entire stone path is slippery. This means that there is not only one stalactite dripping water, but there must be many. The stalactites drip together with water over many years to form this slippery path.
Chi Li kept holding on to the concave and convex parts with both hands to stabilize her body, and slowly moved down. The stone path was very slippery, and she didn't want to go down the slide again.
Fortunately, she had already reached the bottom of the stone path. When she saw a light in front of her, she knew she had reached another exit.

She subconsciously ran forward for some distance, until she noticed that the tiger behind her seemed to be no longer chasing her, and then she stopped and turned around to look.
At the entrance of the passage, the tiger that had just been chasing people seemed to find it boring, so it just lay there licking its paws and washing its face. It didn't show the ferocious look just now, and its tail hanging to the side was swaying proudly, obviously. She had a great time playing the chase game just now.
Chi Li: "..."
Xiaoli: "Is it teasing us?"
This is a no-brainer.
"Orange, come here." An old voice sounded. The tiger who heard the call got up, jumped up and down, and happily trotted all the way to an old man with gray hair and walking slowly, who was carrying a piggyback on his back, and surrounded him like a baby. He walked around the old man in circles, hooked him with his big paw, and rubbed his head.
The old man lovingly stretched out his hand and patted the tiger's big head. He looked up at Chili who was standing far away, smiled and waved her over: "Come here, little girl, this tiger is not vicious and will not hurt you."
Chi Li hesitated for a moment, looking around at the large iron chain connected to the tiger's hind legs, but still obeyed the old man's greeting and walked over silently.
"How did you get here?" The old man turned around and led the tiger and Chili slowly toward a small thatched house ahead.
Chi Li followed behind, hearing the jingle of chains being dragged. Hearing the old man's question, he thought about it and decided to tell the truth: "Junior accidentally fell off a cliff and found a cave on the cliff. I wanted to go in along the cave. I was looking for a way out, but I accidentally slipped and fell. When I got to the bottom, I met this tiger chasing me again. I ran here in a panic. If I disturbed you, I apologize to you, senior. I just ask you to point out a way out. I promise to leave immediately. And never disclose this place to outsiders.”
She guessed that she might have accidentally broken into someone else's retreat.
This is the case for some worldly masters. Tired of the hustle and bustle of the world, they stay away from the crowd and find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to live in seclusion.
Such people are generally not ordinary people, but they hate having outsiders interrupt their lives, so Chili thought about asking for directions and left quickly to avoid annoying others.
The key point is that this person also has a big tiger, and his own strength is even more incomprehensible, giving her an uncertain and uneasy feeling. The chains on the big tiger's feet are also very weird, and she can't tell who this person is. The devil is a heretic who kills people without batting an eyelid. If that were the case, she would have just left the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den.
The old man didn't care what the little girl behind him was thinking. He led people into the house. There happened to be two steaming meals on the table, as well as a half-eaten bowl.
Apparently, the old man was eating just now and came out to take a look when he heard the noise outside.
He could see Chi Li's hunger, and after bringing the person in, he said, "Sit anywhere you want," and then went into the kitchen to serve her a bowl of porridge and brought it out for her to eat.
"Hungry, let's eat first."
"……thanks."
Perhaps because the old man's attitude was too natural, Chili finally took the bowl and chopsticks he handed over, and then sat across from the old man to eat with him.
There were no guests originally planned to come, so the food cooked by the old man was naturally not enough. There was only one dish of green vegetables and one dish of salted fish. Chili did not dare to eat too much, so he drank more porridge and less vegetables.
After being hungry for so long, she was already satisfied with having something to eat. She didn't pursue anything else, as long as it could fill her stomach.
Instead, the old man saw that she was not picking up the food, so he took the dishes and poured some into her bowl: "Eat more, the little girl is so thin, how can I not eat more?"
Suddenly there was half a bowl of green vegetables and half a bowl of salted fish. Now Chili couldn't eat it anymore.
She finished eating everything, then consciously put away the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them. After washing the dishes and walking out, she saw the old man squatting in front of the big tiger, grinding little by little with something unknown.
Chili didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched silently.
After watching for a while, she understood. It turned out that the old man was helping the tiger to grind off the iron chain on his leg, but the chain was too thick. Even though it could be seen that the old man had been grinding for a long time, he just opened the chain slightly. Some.
The tiger was quite obedient at first, lying on the ground and letting the old man grind the chain. After a long time, the tiger became impatient and moved around. Then he simply stood up, dragged the chain to another place and jumped and played. Will come back and let the old man sharpen the iron chain.
"Is this tiger not an adult yet?"
After observing it for a while, Chi Li realized that the tiger should be a sub-adult tiger, probably only one to two years old. No wonder he could still squeeze into the narrow passage. If an adult tiger wanted to get in and out, it would still be difficult. Running and chasing people is obviously too much.
"Well, I rescued him. The little guy was caught somehow. If he hadn't happened to meet me, he would have been skinned and eaten by now."
The old man looked at the chain hanging on the tiger's hind legs and sighed: "It's a pity that I couldn't find the key to the chain at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have spent all this time grinding the lock on it."
"If it's lock-picking, I think I'm pretty good at it," Chili said.
Although they had not been together for a short time, she had been able to confirm that the old man had no ill intentions towards her, so in order to repay the kindness of the meal, she could repay him by unlocking his tiger.
"Oh, does the little girl know how to pick locks?" The old man looked at her in surprise.
Even Xiaoli was surprised: "Do gods know how to open locks?" Then she convinced herself: "By the way, gods know everything, so it doesn't matter if they just open a lock."
"Don't get me wrong, not all of us gods can open locks, it's just that I happened to learn it." Chi Li justified the names of other gods.
She has traveled through so many worlds that she no longer remembers all the miscellaneous things she has learned. Anyway, she knows a variety of skills and can naturally use them when needed.
The same goes for unlocking this time.
After waiting for the old man to call back the tiger that had run away, Chi Li took off the hairpin from the top of her head, squatted on the tiger's hind legs and fiddled with it to help it unchain.
After working on it for a while, the chain didn't open, and Chi Li frowned.
"Why, it can't be untied?" the old man asked, not blaming Chi Li in his words, but regretting that Juzi had to wait a little longer to get rid of the chains.
"No, this hairpin is not sharp enough. If you can make it thinner, it will be easier to open the lock." In addition to the size of the hairpin, it is also because this hairpin is made of pure gold and is a bit soft and difficult to operate.
It's soft but easy to overcome, just use some skills, but the size doesn't mean it won't penetrate the lock, so it's not that easy to open the lock.
"This is simple." When he heard that it was the reason, the old man directly raised his hand to take the gold hairpin from Chi Li's hand. He raised his hand and rubbed it, and then kneaded it into a thinner and sharper hairpin handle, which was enough to penetrate deep into the lock. Got it.
Chili didn't blame the old man for breaking her hairpin. She didn't want it much anyway. She took it and knocked it again, using some skills. She heard a click, the chain opened and fell to the ground, and the tiger was also freed from its restraints.
It seemed that he had not experienced this sense of relief for a long time. After the tiger got up and took two tentative steps, he happily turned around and jumped on Chili. He stretched out his rough tongue and kept licking her face, which was so itchy that Chili couldn't help it. Push it.
"Stop licking, itchy."
After finally rejecting the enthusiastic big tiger, Chi Li turned around and saw the old man watching this scene happily, and couldn't help but laugh.
This was the first time since she came to this world that she felt such relaxed joy.
The place where the old man lived was a sinkhole, surrounded by towering cliffs. There was a spacious open-air pit in the middle, and the sun shone directly down, illuminating the bottom of the pit.
A thin river flows in from the channel, winds around a U-shape on one side of the cliff, and then flows to an unknown place.
If there is sunshine, water, and land, it will naturally be possible to plant.
In addition to the thatched house, the old man also dug a lot of fields at the bottom of the pit, where grains and vegetables are grown. Even if he doesn't go out to buy things, he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking when he lives here, and he can live a very comfortable life.
Chili didn't know why she stayed. The old man's thatched house had two bedrooms, one of which was just for her to live in. There was also a tiger living in the same room.
This guy's affection for Chi Li has skyrocketed since he unlocked it. In addition to playing with himself and clinging to the old man, he would also cling to Chi Li. Especially after he found that Chi Li didn't mind him jumping into bed, that was even more so. He was so mad that he just came to stay on her bed.
It's not like the old man never mentioned it, but the tiger kept stopping and Chili pampered him, so he had no choice but to let it go.
Chi Li also knew that it was not good to let the tiger go to bed, but this big guy was too good at coquettishness. Every time she wanted to drive it out of bed, it would lie pitifully under her bed and whine. Not being soft-hearted, Xiaoli also became soft-hearted, and couldn't help but persuade Chili to let him go to bed. Every time, he said it was the last time, and he wouldn't ask him to come up next time. As a result, time and time again, there was no end.
It was simply that the autumn weather was getting colder at this time, and it was quite warm to have a warm big tiger sleeping with him at night. Chi Li just accepted it and crawled into bed and didn't rush him again.
Fall not only means cooler weather, but also a bumper harvest of crops in the fields.
Chili lived in someone else's house, so it was not good for her to just eat for free, so she naturally had to help with the work.
Fortunately, the old man did not plant much land, so the two of them and the troublesome tiger were busy for a while, and they were able to collect all the harvest in the field.
At this time, Chili, who felt similar, brought up the old story again.
She wants to go out.
Xiaoli's revenge has not yet been avenged, and even if they are living a good life now, no matter who they are, they cannot turn a blind eye to the more than [-] members of the Chi family who died tragically.
"What are you going out for? Are you going to die? How can you, a little girl with no martial arts skills, fight against those dangerous guys in the world?"
For the first time, the old man who was usually very kind to Chi Li was angry. He scolded her angrily, turned around and handed her another martial arts secret book at the dinner table: "Practice by yourself. If you don't understand, ask again." Old man."
After saying that, the old man buried himself in his meal and stopped talking to Chi Li.
Chi Li took the secret book and wanted to open it directly, but when she heard the old man's fake cough, she put the secret book down obediently and picked up her chopsticks to eat first. After finishing the meal and cleaning up, she went back to the house to read the secret book.
This secret book has no name, but after reading the prologue closely, the knowledgeable Chi Li can see the subtleties in it.
"This secret book is no less than a top skill." It is even close to the cultivation method. If you learn it deeply, it will not only extend your life, but its power is also quite terrifying.
She meant this to Xiaoli, so the old man walking by the door might as well hear it and couldn't help but leave with a smile on his face.
His free-range chickens, ducks and geese all grew fat and strong. One of the chickens was lame after being attacked by a tiger in the morning, so he might as well stew it and eat it. (End of chapter)
