What kind of girl would travel to another world?

Chapter 138 Qi Xinyang's Daily Life. - Just Learning Skills 7

As mentioned in the previous chapter, the "food tasting meeting" held outside the little rascal's room was nearing its end, and the four people present were eating and chatting.

After hearing Little Slippery say that some half-elf tribes were approaching the outside of the mountain, Qi Xinyang thought of a question. She asked Little Slippery, "Do the tribes approaching the outside of the mountain encounter half-demon tribes? Have there been any conflicts?" As she spoke, she pointed at You Ke.

You Ke naturally felt uncomfortable being pointed at like this. He asked Qi Xinyang, "Sister, why are you pointing at me?"

Qi Xinyang told You Ke, "I'm afraid she won't understand."

Qi Xinyang had a bad habit of pointing at others when he spoke, giving examples. You Ke hadn't been with Qi Xinyang long enough, and if she waited any longer, she'd probably become as numb as her feet.

After thinking for a moment, the little rascal told Qi Xinyang, "I haven't heard of any conflict with the half-demon tribe. Besides, if there really was a major conflict with the outside world, the chief would have summoned all the tribes. As far as I can remember, such a thing has never happened."

After hearing this, Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "That's right! When we first entered the mountain, You Ke said that these half-elf tribes would elect a 'Martial Arts Leader'. It turns out that this was to unite and fight against foreign enemies. The tribes near the outside of the mountain probably know how to avoid the half-demon tribe just like You Ke..." Thinking of this, she looked at You Ke again, who was eating at the time.

We've already covered the general situation of the half-elf and half-demon tribes in the previous volume, so I won't repeat or expand on it here. As the author, I personally prefer to focus on advancing the story.

After that, they spent their time chatting and devouring their food. You Ke only ate the dishes she thought were passable, while Qi Xinyang and Xiao Huatou ate even more. The less tasty dishes were mostly devoured by the small feet, who couldn't tell the difference.

After a long time, the sky darkened and the moon in the sky became clearer.

The moonlight penetrated the leaves and fell onto the dining table. This "tasting meeting" finally ended, and the four people present were all very satisfied with the meal.

After eating, it was natural to "clean up the battlefield". Everyone else was clearing away the dishes and other tableware, but Qi Xinyang just lay back alone.

Qi Xinyang touched her stomach and muttered, "Oh, no, I can't eat anymore. I'm so full!" After saying that, she thought of Yang Mingyi and thought, "Luckily Mingyi isn't here, otherwise there wouldn't be enough to eat. Every time she's here, I never get too full. Although I can't enjoy these unique dishes, I guess that girl eats pretty well in the capital."

Since three people worked together to clean up, the "remains" after the meal were cleaned up quickly.

Then, Xiaojiao said to the others, "Then I'll go return the table." After that, he held the bottom of the table on his head, used his hands to adjust his balance on the bottom, and then left.

You Ke also said to others, "Then I'll take the chairs back." After that, he picked up the two chairs and left.

Seeing that the two younger brothers had left, Qi Xinyang quickly asked the little rascal, "I heard that you half-elves are not only good at making bows and traps, but also good at making poisons and potions, right?"

The little rascal told Qi Xinyang, "We half-elves do learn carpentry much faster than other races, and our craftsmanship is superior. But the poisons and potions you mentioned are another matter. Those are skills passed down from generation to generation. Even when it comes to making weapons, those made by craftsmen who have passed down the skills from generation to generation are better."

Qi Xinyang muttered, "Oh, is that so..." She changed her mind and thought, "It seems that we can't just persuade her to change her career. According to what she said, those other skills need to be passed down from generation to generation. It seems that she has no other way out except to stick to her cooking skills..."

Afterwards, Qi Xinyang chatted with Xiao Huatou for a while about the "tasting event" and praised Xiao Huatou's cooking skills. Then, Xiao Jiao and You Ke came back one after another.

When Qi Xinyang saw Xiaojiao and Youke had returned, he said to the others, "Let's go! Let's take a walk together after dinner!"

The little rascal looked up at the sky and asked Qi Xinyang, "Where are you going? It's so late at night."

Qi Xinyang told the little rascal, "You can't just finish your own business and ignore mine. Didn't we agree on this at noon?"

The little rascal then remembered and said to Qi Xinyang, "You mean the 'equipment' thing. But it's already dark."

Qi Xinyang said to the little rascal, "When you were washing the dishes just now, didn't you light a lamp? Take it with you."

When Xiaojiao heard Qi Xinyang wanted a lamp, she immediately ran into the room to get it. When Xiaojiao came out with the lamp, the four people present set off together.

It was dark and there was no light to illuminate the way ahead. Anyone walking through this backyard would inevitably bump into things along the way, not to mention finding the way.

When the little rascal led Qi Xinyang and the others out of the backyard and to the outer wall, Qi Xinyang realized that the equipment was actually stored outside. She had originally thought that the equipment was stored in the backyard, but she didn't expect to go around several low walls and finally out of the backyard.

Qi Xinyang followed him and said to the little rascal, "So you're outside. I was wondering why you didn't want to come out just now. It's really hard to see the road in the dark."

You Ke followed behind and said to Qi Xinyang, "Sister, why don't you come back during the day?"

The little rascal suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Qi Xinyang and the others, "Since we are here, I have to take you to find it, otherwise I will have to bring you here again next time." After that, she continued to lead the way.

Qi Xinyang said to You Ke, "It's dark, follow closely and don't lose me. Your face is so dark, I won't be able to find you even if I lose you." When she turned around to look at You Ke, if she hadn't seen a pair of white eyes there, she almost didn't see where the person was.

At this time, Little Feet, who was following at the back, suggested to the others, "I left a lantern in the stable. Let's go to the stable and change the lantern before we continue walking."

The little rascal who was leading the way in front heard it and said to the others behind her: "Okay, let's go to the stable first. It's on the way anyway." After that, she led the others to the stable.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the stable together.

The little rascal used the lamp to help Little Foot light up the stable, and Little Foot quickly found the lantern she had left in the stable.

As Little Foot took out the flint and steel to light the lantern, she asked Little Sly, "Will you still take care of the morning sweeping?"

After thinking for a while, the little rascal told his little feet, "Let's not worry about the morning sweep for now. I'll study cooking for a few more days."

After lighting the lantern, Little Foot casually pulled out two thin carrots from his pocket and stuffed them into the horse's mouth. He hadn't had time to take the horse out to graze that night, so he could only feed it two carrots to make do.

After seeing this, Qi Xinyang was speechless and thought to herself, "Has my horse become thinner after staying in the mountains for so long? The carrots in this other world are really so thin. Poor my good horse..." Thinking of this, she went up and touched the mane of "Benlei".

As mentioned in the previous volume, Qi Xinyang named the horse he bought for himself "Ben Lei".

After feeding the two carrots, Little Foot walked out of the stable holding the lantern.

When the little rascal saw that Xiaojiao had already lit the lantern and walked out, he immediately turned off the lantern he was carrying and continued to lead the way.

Although it was difficult to see the road clearly in the dark, fortunately the sundry warehouse where the abandoned mechanisms and equipment were stored was not far away. Not long after leaving the stable, we arrived at the sundry warehouse.

The little rascal pointed to a house not far away and said to the others, "We're here! The equipment warehouse is just up ahead!"

Qi Xinyang, under the moonlight, saw what seemed to be another house further away. She asked the little rascal, "There's another house over there. Is it also a warehouse?"

The little rascal looked at the house in the distance and told Qi Xinyang, "That's not a warehouse. It's a birdhouse, for raising birds."

Qi Xinyang's curiosity was piqued, and he asked the little rascal, "What kind of birds are there?"

The little rascal told Qi Xinyang, "It's just one kind of bird, the 'Nine-bend Silver Pigeon'."

After hearing this, Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "A pigeon is just a pigeon, why does it have such a fancy name..." Thinking of this, she asked the little rascal, "Do pigeons look any different?"

Qi Xinyang really couldn't think of what could be different about the pigeons in the other world, but she forgot that the little rascal had never seen what the pigeons in her world looked like.

Fortunately, the little rascal didn't think there was anything wrong with the question. She thought Qi Xinyang was asking what was the difference between the "Nine-bend Silver Pigeon" and other birds.

"They don't look anything special, aren't they? They're just kept for viewing. Ding Lei usually takes care of them, and I don't go in much," she told Qi Xinyang. She almost let it slip that the pigeons were carrier pigeons. The "carrier pigeons" that carried messages were a secret in their tribe.

After hearing this, Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "This chief is quite an interesting person, even arranging someone to look after the birdhouse. But why is there only one species of ornamental bird? I'll come and see it during the day." With this thought, she decided to come back tomorrow to see the birds in the birdhouse. People are like that; once curiosity strikes, they have to find out.

As they walked and chatted, the four of them finally arrived at the warehouse where various equipment was stored.

The little rascal quickly opened the door of the warehouse, took the lantern from Xiaojiao's hand and walked in, followed by Qi Xinyang and his two younger brothers.

As soon as they entered the warehouse, You Ke asked the little rascal, "Isn't this warehouse of yours locked?"

The little rascal told You Ke, "There's nothing to steal here. Even if someone did steal it, they wouldn't know how to use it."

You Ke nodded silently, indicating that he understood, which meant that there was nothing valuable.

After the little rascal entered the warehouse with the lantern, she walked directly to the right and used the light from the lantern to light a lamp on the right wall. Then, she said to the little girl, "Light up the left lamp!" After that, she extinguished the light from the lantern and placed it on the ground beside her.

Little Foot was completely confused and asked Little Sly, "What is 'Zuo Zheng Deng'?"

The little rascal pointed in the direction and told Little Foot, "It's the light in the middle on your left! Watch your step and don't trip!"

Little Foot saw that there was indeed an unlit lamp on the left wall, so he walked over carefully, picked up something to stand on nearby, and then used a flint to light the lamp on the wall.

Under the combined illumination of the two bright lights on the left and right, the warehouse became slightly brighter, but not much.

This was a startling sight! The warehouse was a chaotic mess filled with various mechanisms and equipment. If I hadn't known what was stored here, I would have thought it was a garbage dump. Anyone who came in without knowing the location would be completely confused and would have no idea what was stored here.

Qi Xinyang looked around and muttered, "This is too messy. What are these?"

The little rascal said to the others, "Let's look here first. If we can't find it, we'll have to go upstairs."

Qi Xinyang was stunned after hearing this. She looked up at the ceiling and thought, "There is a second floor here? It's dark outside and I can't see clearly. I thought this warehouse was a single-story. How long has this place been abandoned? It can't be full of dust and bugs? Is it ventilated normally?" Thinking of this, she quickly raised her arms and covered her mouth and nose with clothes.

After seeing this, You Ke asked Qi Xinyang, "Sister, what's wrong?"

Qi Xinyang told You Ke, "It's dusty here, so be careful."

After hearing this, You Ke said "Oh". Then, he also followed Qi Xinyang's example and raised his hands to cover his mouth and nose with his clothes.

Then, Qi Xinyang and You Ke covered their mouths and noses and walked inside very carefully.

Seeing Qi Xinyang and You Ke acting suspiciously, the little rascal said to them, "What are you doing? Are you thieves? There's nothing to steal here."

After hearing what the little rascal said, Qi Xinyang suddenly realized that she and You Ke really looked like "thieves". She quickly put down her hand covering her mouth and nose, and gently pulled off You Ke's hand covering her mouth and nose.

Qi Xinyang and You Ke then straightened up and walked normally.

Then, the little rascal said to the others, "Everyone search together, and if you see anything that looks like a pillar, tell me!"
