Neighbors in forbidden land

Chapter 46 The beginning of everything is difficult

So, under Yimi's command, I started our "project".

"First of all, like last time, a piece of land must be specially developed to grow potatoes."

Therefore, Yimi chose a piece of land a little farther away from the cave. The reason was to prevent the potato field from being crushed by the mountain collapse in case of heavy rain, and then let me tear up the winding vines on this ground.

"I have Xiao Hei here, so don't be afraid... The problem is, Xiao Hei, you can't protect me and protect such a large field at the same time, right?"

I feel that what Yimi said is very reasonable. Seeing that YuriAcgn once had a huge body, I couldn't do both at the same time. Now I use such a small body, it is even more difficult...

So according to Yimi's request, I dug [-] small pits in a square area on the ground with my hands. According to Yimi, this time is just an experiment and it is not suitable to plant too many potatoes.

After all, it has been done once before, and the current body can accurately grasp the size of the dug hole, but it is still easy to use too much force and directly throw the brownish-yellow soil with white fine particles far away. .

"The next step is to put the potatoes in. Since you can't touch these potatoes, Xiao Hei, then I will be responsible for letting you bury them, understand?"

"Understood." Although Yimi closed her eyes in order not to let Potato die, I still nodded my head.

So I watched Yimi groping and throwing potatoes one after another into the pit, and I followed behind her to fill the pit back with soil and bury the potatoes.

After putting away all sixteen potatoes, Yimi stood up slowly, straightened up and had been bent over just now, patted the dust on the black dress on her hands, took a deep breath, Trying to calm down the heaving chest.

"...How is it? Xiao Hei, have you buried it yet?"

"Okay, it's just..."

"only?"

"When I was burying them just now, I accidentally cut several of them..."

When I buried it, I didn't control the force well, my fingers directly pierced the soil, and the whole potato was cut into two halves or even more...

"...It's okay, this time is just an experiment anyway."

"That's good--"

"But Xiao Hei, you're still so stupid, can you break it with your eyes open?" There was a slight smile on the corner of Yimi's mouth, but the curvature was not like the usual smile.

"Uh uh..."

"Okay, I'm teasing you." Yimi returned to her usual smile, "Xiao Hei, your movements are actually quite fast..."

"what……"

Every time I make those sounds, say those words, it becomes a habit.

Yimi has a variety of expressions that change with her words and emotions.

What about me?

I can't see my expression, and now Yimi can't see my expression either.

I raised my hand and touched my face.

What kind of expression do you have now?

"Okay, the next thing is watering, Xiao Hei! Lead the river ditch leading to the cave so that we can water it."

Yimi who waved his hand hurriedly gave me the next instruction, and I put down my hand, and jumped to the edge of the cave by gently flapping my single wing.

It's just... it seems a bit difficult to use hands now?

If I bent down and moved forward while digging a ditch with my hands, I, who hadn't mastered this new body, might lose my balance and fall down.

Obviously, my previous body didn't need to think about these issues...

So... just use the tail?

I tried to flick my tail, and stuck the spikes on the tail into the ditch.

Then... drag it away!

I headed towards the field where Yimi was, watching the spikes continuously pull out a long ditch on the ground behind me, and the water trickled forward along this strange path.

When I got to Yimi's side, I immediately turned around, drew a big arc in front of Yimi, and walked back in the original direction.

I remember what Yimi said to ensure water circulation, so I dug a circle-shaped ditch with my tail.

The tributary extending from which river ditch is the best way to return to which river ditch.

This is what Yimi has been emphasizing to me, but I remember it well.

When I returned to Yimi, Yimi, who was squatting by the newly dug ditch and washing his hands, turned his face slightly to me:

"Xiao Hei, you are surprisingly agile when doing these tasks..."

"Because these things are not difficult?"

"Then the next step is watering."

Yimi took some water with her hands and sprinkled it on the potato field.

But on the way from the river ditch to the field, a lot of drips leaked from between the fingers...

"Xiao Hei, how did you water it before?" Yimi suddenly turned her head and asked me.

"me……"

I used to stand directly by the lake and lift it with my claws, but now... I looked at my slender hands covered with black rocks, and what I could do was no better than what Yimi could do.

"Maybe I can give it a try... Yimi, stand back a little."

"Do you want to stand away again?" Although Yimi asked this question with some doubts, she still walked aside obediently.

I stretched a small part of the single wing into the narrow river ditch, intending to push the water directly into the field as I used to use my claws.

As a result, I tried hard——

Even the water and mud were thrown into the field... and there was far more mud than water.

I looked at the muddy water dripping from the wing of the single wing and the potato field covered in mud... I fell silent.

"What's wrong? Blackie?"

"I seem to...failed..."

"Failure or something...Xiaohei, what are you doing..." Yimi raised her left hand and put it gently on her mouth, with a look of surprise on her face.

"I can only hold water with my hands..."

In this way, there is no way to be the same as before.

"Surely you can't hold it with your hands, Xiao Hei, what are you thinking?" As a result, Yimi put her right hand on her hip and smiled softly at me.

"But just now, Yimi, didn't you..."

"That's a demonstration! It's a demonstration of wrong movements to you, Xiao Hei!" Yimi blushed suddenly and kept shaking her hands, "It means this method is not feasible! Got it!"

"oh oh……"

Is that so... "Ahem!" Yimi clenched his hands into a fist again and coughed lightly, "Xiao Hei, do you know what human beings rely on to develop to today?"

"Hmm... a magic barrier?"

If there is no magic barrier, all human beings will die on the day of disaster.

"It's so reasonable, I'm speechless..." As a result, I saw Yimi's shoulders collapse for a moment, and after she said something in a low voice, she quickly lifted it up, "That...although it's small Hei, you are right...but what I want to ask is a more original question..."

"what is it?"

In this case, I really can't think of anything.

As a result, Yimi showed a somewhat smug look on her face, and slightly puffed up her small chest: "It depends on being able to make and use various tools. Human beings are not born with magic skills."

Yimi stretched out a finger: "So we need to make some simple tools. If we use local materials, of course it is wood."

wood?

"So Xiao Hei, go and chop down trees."

Looking at the excited Yimi, I looked around myself.

"Yimi..."

"What's wrong, little black?"

"Around here..."

There are only vines crawling on the endless desolate sandy land, and there are only mountains a little farther away, and dead branches that are already crumbling in the breeze.

"...no trees."

"..."

I only saw Yimi's long light orange hair hanging to the ground, which was completely stunned, floating in the wind.

Finally, it occurred to me that there might be better trees if I headed north, but—

"I'm hungry……"

Yimi seems to have not eaten since yesterday, and now she is holding her stomach lightly and complaining to me.

"Go find a fire and roast potatoes."

There seems to be no problem here.

Until I flew towards the east, until I passed the [-]-meter high mountain formed after the moon fell, landed on the scorched black land that seemed to be filled with lava that would never go out, and came to the same crater as before .

The bright fire light illuminated my body, and it seemed that I could feel the faint heat rushing to my body. The bright red lava was constantly churning, and the gray-black smoke almost buried everything.

Should I go straight down?

Standing on the edge of the crater, I had this question.

I remember that every time I went down in the past, I would bite the torn clothes that Yimi gave me—that is, the one that tied my hair up now—in my mouth for protection, and then jump in to scoop up the magma.

But now...

I touched my extremely small lips with my hand, and it was no longer the hard black skin like before, but the soft light red skin similar to Yimi.

And those little hands that look more fragile than plants.

It doesn’t matter whether you are injured or not... Where should I put the clothes with hair tied and the cloak that has begun to distort slightly due to the heat... How can I bring the magma back...

And more importantly, the cloak and clothes on his body——

I can't take it off at all.

I don't know how to get these clothes off.

"..."

How to do?

Looking at the cloak on my body that seemed to be about to burn itself, I was a little confused.

So the next moment.

The volcano seemed to be shaking, no, it was shaking under the feet.

Violent magma and hot air, with unparalleled airflow, churned in the gray-black smoke that covered the sky, and then——

It started to explode towards the crater.

I hurriedly waved my single wing into the air, watching the flaming rocks and visible heat waves engulf the area I was just now.

Give up give up give up give up!Now I have no way to get these magma, okay!

Before the torrent of the volcanic eruption submerged me, I hurriedly fled the black land where I used to travel freely.

————————————————————————————————————————

"Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho... (Sorry, I was wrong, please light me up.)"

Finally I called out Goo on the beach and knelt on the ground begging her for help.

I remember that Yimi also made me kneel. This seems to be a kind of etiquette for human beings to admit mistakes.

I used to be unable to do it, but now I seem to be able to do it very simply.

Little Goo just narrowed his two huge white eyes, looking down at me kneeling on the beach holding several branches cut from other places.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr>

She turned her head and looked at me from different directions.

I don't know why, but at this moment, I feel that Xiaogu's eyes are very similar to Yimi's.

The look in He Yimi's eyes when he scolded me for being an idiot——

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so

— exactly the same.

This is definitely learned from Yimi...

"Roar... (Yes...)"

Yeah, I'm an idiot.

Since both Yimi and Xiaogu said yes, then basically it is.

"Gulu? (Fire?)"

"Roar... (Yes...)"

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

ball?Are you talking about potatoes?

"Roar... (There is...)"

"Gulu Gulu? (Will you still look at Yizuo?)"

Do you remember that...

"Hey... (No more...)"

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so

"Hohohoho... (Why do you have to say it again...)"

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. (Then I'm leaving.)"

"Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho! (Don't go! I'm an idiot!)"

Finally, Xiao Gu slowly turned his head back which had already been turned back.

Huge flames with dazzling light shot out in a spiral column shape from Xiaogu's mouth, and the huge air waves lifted the sand grains around me, burning a layer of light black.

The vines that crawled on the ground far beyond the beach were set on fire.

"Gurrrrrrr. (Remember to give me one.)"

Little Gu just left such a sentence, then turned around and sank into the deep blue sea, leaving only the undulating waves and foam on the sea surface.

Finally, there is a fire...

I try to get up-

The upper body did move, however.

like.

Because I am not used to this body, this movement, after kneeling down.

I don't know how to get up.

"..." I don't know why, but I seem to hear Yimi and Xiaogu say the same word in my ears from left to right.

Fool.
