Thunder was rumbling outside and heavy rain was pouring down. Inside the dilapidated mountain temple, a bonfire made a crackling sound. The firelight shone all around, and the heat drove away the chill.
Gao Ning and his party sat around the campfire, and a small tent was set up in the open space behind them.
Xiao Hui was playing with the outdoor gas stove enthusiastically, trying to cook the stir-fried beef in the pot.
Dr. Huang held a cup of coffee and drank it in small sips. He glanced at Gao Ning from time to time, with a look of surprise in his eyes, a third of which was comfortable, and the rest was calm.
Gao Ning used a small wooden stick to draw simple sketches on the ground, looking up at the bonfire from time to time.
After visually inspecting the size, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The sand and dust on the ground gathered, and a special iron frame for barbecues grew out of the ground and was placed squarely and steadily above the bonfire.
The grid-shaped grill was specially made of stainless steel and shone under the firelight.
Gao Ning stepped forward and looked around, stretched out his hand to feel the temperature, and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he took out a stainless steel basin from behind his buttocks. Inside, there were three large silver carps that had been processed and marinated in onion, ginger and cooking wine to remove their fishy smell.
Gao Ning put the three fishes on the grill, glanced at Dr. Huang who was in a daze, and said, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Doctor Huang came back to his senses, but he did not speak immediately. Instead, he glanced at Gao Ning with a strange look, drank the coffee in the cup in small sips, and then spoke.
"I've been curious for a long time, where do you hide these things? Is there a different dimension connected to the back of your butt?"
"That's okay to understand!"
Gao Ning shrugged and explained: "Strictly speaking, it is an island, covering an area of more than thirty square kilometers!"
Dr. Huang was a little surprised: "How did you do it?"
"I can't talk about this! Have you finished your coffee? Do you want a refill?"
"No! I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if I drink too much!" Dr. Huang waved his hand and refused.
"If you don't want to drink, come over and grill the fish! I'll see if there are any suitable products in the inventory. Xiao Hui worked hard today, so I just took it out to reward him!"
Gao Ning gave instructions without hesitation.
Dr. Huang's beautiful eyes widened and his cheeks bulged, but he still stood up and reached out to take the steel fork from Gao Ning's hand.
"Where's the seasoning?"
"it's here!"
Gao Ning made a row of twelve small spice boxes on the back of his buttocks, and also brought some with Dr. Huang.
When Xiaohui heard Gao Ning's words, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't do anything, why is Mr. Gao so polite!"
"It's not polite, it's the proper etiquette!"
Gao Ning replied, turned around and sat back on the stainless steel rocking chair that could be refined.
The structure of this rocking chair is very similar to that of an ordinary wooden rocking chair, except that the entire body is made of stainless steel pipes, which seems to be stronger.
The backrest and armrests are covered with a layer of wood, and there is even a soft cushion, which is soft and comfortable for the head.
After the last conversation with Caolu layman, Gao Ning and the two stayed in the thatched cottage for another two or three days. After preparing some food and daily necessities, they went directly on the road.
Gao Ning thought that Master Caolu would set off with him.
Who would have thought that this old boy was so thief that he sneaked away under the pretext of maintaining world peace, leaving behind a note two fingers wide, saying that Xiao Hui also knew the way and had the skills of paper man and horse.
, can provide relevant conveniences.
As for himself, Gao Ning and the others don't have to worry, he said he would have his own way to get there on time.
When Gao Ning saw this note, he was stunned for several seconds, and in the end he had no choice but to accept it.
This old boy obviously didn't want to travel with him from the beginning.
Throwing an apprentice out as a shield would allow him to enjoy his leisure time, so as not to encounter any more messy things on the road and ruin the reputation he had rarely built.
Gao Ning saw through this old boy's little thoughts at a glance.
When I just wanted to find him for reasoning, he had already disappeared without a trace.
Gao Ning had no choice but to change his master into an apprentice, and set out on the road with Dr. Huang, who held his portrait all day long and only opened it to look at it for silly fun.
Originally, Gao Ning was planning to buy a carriage in the town to travel around.
I didn’t want to be stopped by Xiaohui.
Then, under the gaze of Gao Ning and Dr. Huang, he took out a few plain yellow papers from his arms and folded a few willow branches from the willow tree on the roadside.
After some dazzling craftsmanship, these simple materials turned into a palm-sized carriage model.
It's so lifelike, just like a living thing.
Doctor Huang couldn't help but widen his eyes and clapped his hands.
Gao Ning also blinked in surprise and had to admit that the otaku's hand speed was indeed amazingly fast.
But before he could make a comment, he saw Xiaohui bite his finger, dab the blood on the model, and then mutter something in his mouth, throwing the carriage model into the air.
A puff of smoke exploded out of thin air, and after it was blown away by the wind, a carriage appeared majestically in front of everyone.
Even Gao Ning found this exaggerated magic a little unbelievable, let alone classmate Huang who had no knowledge in the first place.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Xiao Hui couldn't help but curl up his lips proudly, and then began to introduce the art of paper man and fake horse that he had practiced with great concentration.
Dr. Huang listened with great interest and his eyes were filled with wonder.
After listening to two sentences, Gao Ning already grasped the theme.
Nothing else, essentially, this is still a legal usage.
With horses and carriages that no longer needed to graze, the three of them set off naturally.
Even though horses and carts are made of paper, they become real when walking on the road.
Under Gao Ning's observation, he could even see the ruts on the ground.
And the carriage itself also has weight.
This surprised Gao Ning the most, as it was completely inconsistent with the law of intelligent transformation.
Could it be that in this world, Einstein was wrong?
In order to study it, Gao Ning even reached out to lift the carriage. He felt that although the carriage was lighter than an ordinary carriage, it still weighed more than a hundred kilograms.
All in all, it's amazing.
The carriage first went to Shijia Town, then exited from the north gate of Shijia Town, heading all the way to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
This trip lasted for three days. Along the way, Gao Ning acted as the warehouse steward. Every time it was time to eat, he would take out all kinds of strange tools and ingredients prepared in advance. Everyone divided the work and worked together to cook.
into a meal.
If he encounters a forest on the way, Gao Ning will go out for a walk and replenish some meat, wild fruits and vegetables. If he encounters a river, he will replenish some fresh water, fish and shrimp.
Anyway, Alcatraz Island is astonishingly big, and the current number of prisoners is far from reaching the standard, and there are plenty of free spaces.
Let alone this little thing, even if it were multiplied a hundred times, it would still not account for one thousandth of Alcatraz Island.
