When Yi Xia returned to the basement drunk, the snow outside had stopped.
Through the thick cement wall, Yi Xia could see the white snow outside.
The howling cold wind blew by, but was ignored without dignity by the children who were building snowmen.
In the alleys, community workers are organizing people to clear the snow.
"squeak……"
Yi Xia opened the iron door.
Suddenly a biting cold wind blew along the open door.
Sweep away the somewhat turbid smell in the basement.
The rusty iron steps may have dripped some water yesterday.
At this moment, in addition to the snow on top, there is occasionally some thin ice underneath.
Yi Xia walked straight up.
In an instant, the snow scattered and the ice shattered.
The iron steps made a dull sound.
Yi Xia stood in a quiet alley and stretched her waist.
For him at this moment, the breath of the earth allowed him to subconsciously enter a rather soothing state.
It was like a brown bear patrolling its territory, full of some leisurely contentment.
Of course, if you encounter an intruder.
The situation is generally the same...
"Ding dong..."
The phone that has not been turned on for some time will beep as soon as it is turned on, indicating that there are unread messages.
Yi Xia looked at it.
Deduction information for unpaid packages...
Social interaction between people is always mutual.
As he gradually alienates these social circles, he will naturally be gradually forgotten.
But this does not mean that his bond with the world is weakening.
It's that the original concepts behind these bonds are no longer just specific people.
Vaguely, Yi Xia felt as if she understood what Zixuan and other Nuwa people called "great love".
However, he felt that he was obviously not that stupid.
Or rather, pure?
After all, times have changed.
Now you can fish freely...
Yi Xia stretched her waist.
The snow with icy residue underfoot made a crunching sound.
Just when Yi Xia was enjoying the snow scene and preparing to go back and open the ancient gate challenge.
From a distance, he saw a little face that was red with cold.
It's Yi Jiao, the girl with natural psychic vision.
She saw Yi Xia and waved her left hand happily towards him across the street.
The right hand is holding a bag of things.
Yi Xia stood still and watched her trotting over.
"Brother Yi, you are finally back."
Running to Yi Xia, Yi Jiao said breathlessly.
But his face was still filled with uncontrollable joy.
Then he handed the bag in his hand to Yi Xia:
"Here, the dumplings and glutinous rice balls made by my mother."
"I know you won't prepare this specially."
Yi Xia took it and led her into the house.
As far as ordinary things are concerned, the temperature outside is still very low now.
Of course, the temperature in Yi Xia's basement can't be much higher...
He himself doesn't care about this, he just wants to have a place to stay.
But when you have some free time, you can find another place to buy it.
In his current state, the basement is indeed relatively cramped.
"squeak……"
The iron door slowly closed, blocking out the cold air outside.
Yi Jiao breathed a sigh of relief towards her somewhat rosy hands.
It looks like it's really freezing.
Yi Xia thought for a while and took out the dragon head statue from the item backpack.
The dragon head statue itself has the function of regulating temperature.
Of course, Yi Xia basically never used it.
His current physique is enough to allow him to reach the so-called realm of being invulnerable to cold and heat.
Yi Jiao rubbed her eyes in confusion.
She just breathed a sigh of relief.
Why is there such a big and ferocious statue in front of me?
Then, I felt that the surroundings suddenly started to become warmer.
Yi Jiao was suddenly startled and realized what had happened.
"is this real?"
Yi Jiao surrounded the dragon head statue and watched with interest.
I wanted to reach out and touch it, but I was afraid of its ferocious appearance.
"It's fake, just a handicraft."
Gu/span> Yi Xia shook her head.
Yi Jiao was a little disappointed when she heard this.
However, a truly mysterious creation that was beyond her current field of knowledge was enough to arouse her interest.
Then the next moment, Yi Xia paused:
"It's really much bigger than this."
"And it stinks..."
Yi Jiao was stunned for a moment, just when she was full of endless interest and strong curiosity and wanted to continue asking Yi Xia about the mysterious field.
Yi Xia brought her a glass of rather turbid liquid.
It looks like it might be some kind of drink.
Then, he asked her about this year’s exam.
This moment brought Yi Jiao's racing thoughts back to reality from the colorful and gorgeous mysterious world.
For students, the final report card is always the most sobering thing in the world.
Yi Jiao has a kind of dream and reality, completing a certain earthy combination.
There is a feeling of broken painting style.
I always felt that Yi Xia shouldn't ask this, and I thought it was quite true.
After her vacation, the relatives she met who came to visit her would inevitably ask this question.
Then, after my mother's proud reply, she received some praise*.
But Yi Jiao was disappointed.
Because it is still far away from Peking University, which she has longed for...
"The test was...okay..."
Yi Jiao said in a depressed tone as she felt the critical blow.
Yi Xia nodded and did not elaborate further.
There are naturally some differences between teaching the Dharma in foreign lands and teaching the Dharma on earth.
The former can be more casual, and more often than not it will be told once.
Whether the other party can learn it, and what will happen after learning it.
For Yi Xia, she actually doesn't care that much.
The latter case requires more attention.
At least the aspect of mind needs to be carefully observed.
It doesn’t matter if some people in the former are crooked, it’s the way of the world that “there are gods when you raise your head three feet high”.
Some small tricks can't make any waves.
As for the latter, consider that we are still in the transitional period between the old and new eras.
There are still huge gaps in related fields.
Therefore, even if it is a small skill, it needs to be done with caution.
When the times change, it will be another story.
Of course, what kind of world will it be at that time, Yi Xia is looking forward to it.
"Brother Yi, what have you been busy with recently?"
After a while, Yi Jiao asked while continuing to look at the dragon head statue.
"I got some food bars and I'm going to go to a friend's place to have some drinks."
Although I have already obtained the ingredients for ginseng essence.
But that wasn't the main reason why Yi Xia went.
Since he agreed to the Taoist's dinner, Yi Xia naturally wouldn't refuse.
Mainly because I drank a lot of drinks last time.
This was the first time we met, so the Taoist's move was very generous.
Naturally, Yi Xia couldn't lose money to the other party.
Calculate carefully and add the ginseng essence materials obtained from challenging the ancient gate.
A pot of witch medicine: the soup is more than enough.
There is still some left over for cooking purposes.
Although it’s definitely not enough to put together a pot.
But judging from last time, the Taoist is not a big-bellied man either.
For him, it was enough.
Meal sticks?
Unexpectedly, Brother Yi also fished...
When Yi Jiao heard this, she imagined an expert fishing in the snow.
Although the meal strips are small, they are coated in flour and deep-fried in oil, and they are also delicious.
Yi Jiao didn't sit still for long, although she was full of curiosity.
But he also knew that he shouldn't waste Yi Xia's time too much.
Before leaving, Yi Xia thought about it and took the bloody meat from nowhere.
Not much, only about the size of a palm.
"These meal sticks are very blunt and hard to cut. Just tell your mother to stew them and drink the soup."
"If anyone asks, just say I gave it to you."
Later, Yi Xia told Yi Jiao.
Yi Jiao nodded and took the meat.
I felt my hand feel heavy and I almost lost my grip.
The piece of meat is only the size of a palm, but it is as big as an iron ingot.
What kind of meal bar is this?
Yi Jiao muttered in her heart.
He didn’t ask any more questions, just nodded and left...
