Chapter 9 Why don't you go back?

  Ji Zhao rolled up his sleeves, planning to clean up the Earth Temple first.

  She caught a glimpse of the broom leaning against the corner and was very excited.

  First use a broom to clean up all the dust and cobwebs in every corner of the temple, and then get a half-bucket of water to clean the entire temple clean and spotless.

   After working continuously for an hour and a half, Ji Zhao had to rest for a while.

   "I'll get some more straw later, so I can settle here at night." Ji Zhao clapped his hands and said with a smile.

   gurgling—

  The Wu Zang Temple suddenly heard a sound, and Ji Zhao realized that she had only eaten two sweet potatoes since last night.

  Ji Zhao dragged his tired body out of the Earth Temple.

  After walking east for two or three miles, her sight was attracted by a touch of emerald green.

   It turned out to be a cherry!

   Overjoyed, Ji Zhao quickly picked a small pink fruit and threw it into his mouth. The juice was plentiful, sweet and fragrant.

  Ji Zhao tore off his skirt without hesitation, made a simple pocket, and put all the picked cherries in it.

   It’s just that eating cherries alone doesn’t make you hungry. It would be great if you could find more food, Ji Zhao thought.

  She took two more steps forward, the moonlight in the corner of her eyes caught a glimpse of light brown inadvertently, and hurried forward.

  Ji Zhao, who took a closer look, almost couldn't laugh out loud!

  She picked up the five wild eggs carefully, Ji Zhao thought about it, and planned to go back to the earth temple for a rest.

   Zhao Lanhua, who was digging yams on the mountain at that time, caught a glimpse of the peach-red back in the distance, and frowned suspiciously.

   That figure from the back seems to be Ji Atao?

   "Lanhua, what's wrong with you? What are you looking at?" Sister-in-law Osmanthus who was digging yams asked curiously when she saw her stop.

   "No, nothing."

   "Quickly dig! We are really lucky today. There are so many yams, enough for two days!" Sister-in-law Osmanthus said cheerfully.

   "Yeah." Zhao Lanhua regained consciousness, squatted back on the ground, and continued digging yams.

  Ji Zhao returned to the Earth Temple, first grabbed a handful of cherries and placed them in front of the statue of the Earth Lord.

   "I'm really tired today," Ji Zhao explained softly, "You eat some cherries first, and I'll cook wild eggs later to honor you."

  Sitting on the altar of the altar, the statue of the Duke of Earth has kind eyebrows and kind eyes.

   After resting for a while, Ji Zhao bowed and walked out of the temple gate.

  The premise of cooking is that there is fire.

  Ji Zhao found some dry branches nearby, and simply piled them up.

  She has no flint on her body, so she can only use the most primitive method—

   Drill wood to make fire.

   Unfortunately, after several attempts, she failed.

  Ji Zhao was a little discouraged at this moment.

  She glanced at the wild egg lying quietly on the ground, and swallowed hopelessly.

   "Try again! You can do it!"

   This time, without any surprise, it failed again.

   "Let me help you." Just as Ji Zhao was doubting her life with her hands on her cheeks, a dark blue figure broke into her sight.

   "Shen Yao? Why are you here?"

  Shen Yao glanced at her, then took out the flint from his bosom, and easily ignited the pile of firewood piled up in front of the temple gate.

   "Thank you so much!" Ji Zhao thanked him from the bottom of his heart, and then put the packed eggs into the dilapidated iron pot on the pile of firewood.

  Shen Yao glanced at the surrounding environment, and finally set his eyes on Ji Zhao's face, "Why don't you go back to Pomegranate Village?"
