my age of magic

Chapter 42 43. Life on the Caravan

The lack of water in the caravan was not so severe in the dance troupe. Although the dance troupe also restricted water use, the regulations were not too harsh. At least everyone could wash their faces, and drinking water was not restricted.There seems to be endless water in the caravan. I don’t believe that such a big caravan can carry more than 20 dancers in the car to provide domestic water for more than a month. I asked Katerina how often this caravan usually stores water , Katerina held her red hair with her hand, and after thinking for a long time, she finally told me that she had never seen these caravans store water.

"Where does the water you usually drink come from?" I asked a little curiously.

Katerina pouted and said with some embarrassment: "What kind of strange things are in your little head? I never thought about where the water we usually drink comes from. What are you doing so much, as long as you have water to drink!"

In the cold season of early spring, Katerina wore only a light suspender shirt and tight shorts in the caravan. Seeing her being speechless by the five-year-old child's embarrassment.Katerina is more youthful than Singer. In terms of appearance and figure alone, she is much better than Singer. In addition, she has a pair of particularly charming light red eyes, which makes her even more distinctive.With a height of 175 cm, she is slightly inferior to Singer, but Singer's body is a bit tough and lacks some softness.But Singer had been serving as Qiniang's chief maid for a long time, and he had enough aura to overwhelm the girls in the caravan. This was Singer's unique temperament.

Singer went to check the morning class of the dancers and opened the door to come in. He saw Katerina and I eating breakfast around the bedside table, came over, bent down and held Katerina's little pink ears and said angrily: "You Little Rabbit is not happy now, he can’t get out of bed every day, and he dare not go to morning class, I’ll see how Jia leaves after he recovers, what do you do.”

"Hey, Sister Singer, it hurts so much!" Katerina was told by Singer's ear. Singer and Katerina's relationship is like sisters. Katerina is six years younger than Singer. At the age of [-], his personality is also more lively and weak, far less shrewd and capable than Singer. Singer always wanted to help Katerina establish prestige in the dance troupe before leaving the dance troupe, but Katerina always liked to hide in the dance troupe. Singer was slacking off under his wing, and happened to be caught by Singer.

I quickly changed the subject and asked Singer where the water in the caravan came from.

Singer was also very surprised that I could ask this, and then led me to the back of the bathroom of the magic caravan. She pushed open the upper door that looked like a cupboard, revealing the one-meter-square water tank inside. I can still see the top of the water tank. Clear water is constantly flowing out of the hanging funnel, and there is a magic scroll on the whole funnel. The scroll is engraved with mysterious water patterns and rune circles, and a fingernail-sized magic circle is inlaid on the leather at the center. Magic spar, a breath of abundant water-type magic elements rushes towards me, I can even clearly feel the flow of magic power in the magic pattern circle on the magic scroll, they run along a specific trajectory, forming a unique gathering Water array.I was amazed by this exquisite magic pattern circle. The circle outlined by the simple magic pattern and bright lines was filled with moist water vapor, forming a cloud of rain clouds in the space one meter above the funnel. Drops of water trickled down the funnel, forming a clear stream that flowed into the tank below.

My heart suddenly became clear. It turned out that such an exquisite magic scroll can supply water for the entire caravan.

This is something I never thought about. It turns out that magic scrolls can still be applied in life. In fact, I should have thought about it a long time ago. Isn't this magic caravan just a huge steel scroll with a magic pattern engraved on it?This magic scroll with the function of gathering water is not even the most elementary scroll. Isn't that simple magic pattern the pattern I saw on the parchment scroll that old Kuru gave me a few days ago?The pattern looks very simple, and the magic paper used in the magic scroll is also the magic antelope leather that I am familiar with. It is not a valuable thing, maybe the only valuable thing is the magic spar in the center of the scroll.

Singer pointed to the whole set of appliances inside and said, "See it! We usually rely on this for domestic water."

He scratched my little nose again and said, "I'm satisfied now."

The magic scroll hanging in the air seemed to open a door for me. I think the inscriber could do the same.I found myself increasingly interested in this wonderful field of inscriptions.

...beautiful dividing line...

The caravan found a small stream in this valley. The clear and cold water poured down the steep mountain wall on one side of the canyon, forming several waterfalls with a drop of tens of meters. A half-acre-sized pool was forcibly smashed out of the rocky ground, and water mist splashed around the pool in the valley, decorating this expanse of blue waves like a fairyland.Under the light, there is a rainbow of seven colors across the creek and pond. This creek flows southward along the valley into the interior of the Pai Plateau, and will eventually disappear into the vast wilderness.If it is a rainy season, the water in this creek can even flow into Tonle Sap Lake, the largest freshwater lake on the Pai Plateau.

It is very important for the dozens of thunder rhinos in the caravan to encounter such a good water source. Although these thunder rhinos can go without food or drink for several months, this will consume a lot of energy in their bodies. It has been 27 days since the salt railway on the road arrived safely at the entrance of the Pai Plateau valley, and it took more than a week of trekking to finally find this water source. The roar of hitting the ground is like the sound of war drums on the battlefield.

I looked out from the caravan, and saw that Master Leipas was standing on the back of Thunder Rhinoceros at the front, and had already entered the mist generated by the torrent of the waterfall. The figure of Thunder Rhinoceros was looming.The Thunder Rhino team, which was more than one kilometer long, finally could no longer maintain the original neat formation, and ran towards the smoky water source in a fan-shaped array.

When the magic caravan stopped a hundred meters away from the waterfall, it skillfully formed a rectangular formation, forming an offensive and defensive camp.This was the first time in the last ten days that the caravan chose to camp at noon.Katerina saw the clear pool water and the green grass on the bank in the distance, cheered and hugged me happily and said, "Now I can finally go swimming to my heart's content. Jia, can you swim?"

"It's okay!" I replied, looking out the window.

The Thunder Rhino team was finally driven to the grassland 500 meters downstream, because the water source here was sufficient, which made the valley full of green grass. From a distance I saw Uncle Fred with the men of the caravan pitching tents by the brook, and it looked as if Master Leipas had given up the best green lawn on the edge of the pond to the dance troupe.

Katerina woke up Kongzhen who was lying on the upper bunk to catch up on sleep. This quiet and well-behaved little girl usually likes to sleep on her bed like a bear, so that her already round and cute little face grows With baby fat, it looks even cuter.Katerina said to Kongzhen in a daze: "Really, let's go to wash clothes together, the caravan found a water source, the water is very clear!"

"Oh! Alright." This silly girl will never know how to refuse, as long as she can do something, as long as someone asks her.

With Singer's permission, the other dancers in the caravan also walked out of the caravan one after another with wooden basins in their arms. They gathered around the edge of the pool in twos and threes. The roar came out faintly, adding a bit of vitality to the valley.I, Katerina, and Sorama also walked out of the caravan along with the crowd, and the three of us walked together.My shyness and reserve have gained me a lot of popularity. The other dancers in the caravan also know that Katerina is taking care of a seriously injured child every day. This child does not have any bad habits that a dude has. He doesn't play tricks and is very polite. He is not too annoying a child. The most important thing is that this child is very popular with Qiniang.After getting along these days, I became familiar with the girls in the caravan even if they couldn't name them. When they met, they would smile and say hello or nod.

Dancers in other caravans also came out one after another, carrying pots of clothes and rushing to the pond.

The camp of the caravan was set up by the stream a few hundred meters away from the dance troupe. I originally wanted to run out to catch fish with Kurtz, but Katerina held my little hand tightly, refusing to let me go far, and I begged me to let her go with me after she finished washing the clothes. Seeing the sparkling water in her big pale red eyes, I reluctantly agreed, and she smiled through tears.

When Tia appeared in front of me leading the horse, I thought my eyes were hallucinating.These days, I have always thought that he died in battle. During the battle at the mouth of the canyon that day, Tia went to the front as a forward scout to explore the road. We have not received any warning. I thought Tia was ambushed and killed by dwarf robbers, otherwise In this narrow valley, how could it be possible not to find those hundreds of dwarf robbers.

I raised my face and looked at him riding on Gu Bolai's horse, with snow-white gauze wrapped on his forehead, and asked him with a sneer: "Tiago, didn't those dwarves invite you to sit in their underground castle? "

Tia smiled awkwardly, and only said, "I ran out, and I almost died."

Sister Guoguo, who followed behind, jumped off the horse lightly, threw the reins to Tia, and said to him, "Go over there and help me drink the horse."

After Tia dragged away the two steeds dejectedly, Sister Guoguo said: "Don't be sarcastic when you see him, how can you learn such a sharp tongue at such a young age, hey, what he is good at is field survival skills Ranger, I am not good at night investigation, this time I can pick it up if I come back alive, everyone should respect life, right?"

Seeing Sister Guoguo approaching slowly, Katerina at the side hastily squatted down slightly holding the hem of her skirt, and gave a shallow gift.This is the etiquette that commoners show to nobles, and it is only used in some formal occasions, and it can also be used to show people they respect.Guoguo strolled over, looked at Katerina attentively and nodded to her.Then he looked at me with frivolous eyebrows and said, "Jia, you look pretty good recently?"

I hurried up to hold her hand, which made her look pale.Some unconfidently fiddled with the long chestnut hair, squatted down and looked at me carefully, and asked me: "Are you still having nightmares these days?"

"I seldom do it anymore, sister. I think I'm pretty good. You can see that I'm fine when I run and jump." I broke away from her holding my hand, flipped on the grass, and pinched my waist with one hand. Sister Guo flaunted that I told Qige two days ago this kind of rhetoric, and also bluntly expressed my thoughts, that is, I just want to move back to Lei Tingxi, but Qige did not agree.

Katerina behind me heard what I said again, and hurriedly stood up from the pond, wiped her hands with her apron, and continued my words: "Jia, the cold sweat you break out after a deep sleep every night can soak your pajamas." , how can you say that you are cured?"

This silly red-haired girl obviously doesn't know how attractive she is, and what it's like for me to be squeezed on the same bed with her every night.Recently, I often have a thought in my mind, which is to live in the long run. If my body is habitually overflowing with desire, but the body does not respond, it will be terrible.

Sister Guoguo patted my face lovingly, smiled and said to me: "Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking, stay here with Qige for a few more days, and have such a beautiful woman by your side." How can I do it if my sister is with me and I still feel unsteady?"

I thought how could you know what I was thinking, hey!She touched my broken arm, and now it has grown very well. In more than ten days, the bone seam has even completely healed, and I can even lift some heavy objects.What was even more exaggerated was the scratches on my body. At this time, even the scars had disappeared, which made Singer and Katerina amazed.

"Oh, it's recovering pretty well." Sister Guoguo picked me up casually, sniffed my forehead intimately, and said with a good mood: "I haven't been able to bring you those spoils of war for a while. Take it to you!"

"I still have spoils?"

This is something worth looking forward to for me who is poor and penniless. Kurtz and I have always longed for some family property. He wants to get a high-quality iron and wood bow, and I only need some pocket money. The pockets of the clothes are cleaner than the face, and I feel that it may be a failure for more than two years.
