Nan Zhaozhao also wanted to go and collect firewood. After all, everyone had to face the difficulties together at this moment. Unexpectedly, Shangguan Heng stopped her and said, "Don't go. Follow me to make a fire!"
Seeing that everyone had dispersed to collect firewood and no one was with her, Nan Zhaozhao also stayed behind obediently, "Okay!"
Shangguan Heng first picked up two stones and tried to produce sparks by rubbing them together, but the effect was not very ideal. Later, he tried the method of drilling wood to make fire, but after rubbing for a long time, his hands were blistered, but no sparks came out.
Nan Zhaozhao said in a low voice, "Shangguan Heng, how about letting me try!"
"Do you have fire-making tools?" Shangguan Heng's first thought was that Nan Zhaozhao had fire-making tools such as a lighter on her. He wondered why she didn't take them out earlier, which made him work so hard for half a day and his hands were covered with blisters!
"Lighter? What is that? I don't have a lighter. This is how I make a fire!" After saying that, Nan Zhaozhao raised one hand and casually made a hand gesture in the air. In an instant, a small flame appeared on her finger. She waved it into the small pile of firewood, and the small flame immediately flew into the small pile of firewood.
The small flame turned into a small bonfire. By chance, Zhu Zhu, Wang Yan and Li Huihui came back with firewood and saw this scene. The three of them dropped the firewood they admired on the ground without realizing it. "Wow, little fairy, you are so amazing!"
"Yeah, how did you do that? It's amazing!"
The three of them surrounded Nan Zhaozhao like little fans, "Yes, yes, little fairy, can you show it to us again?"
Nan Zhaozhao was flattered by the praise of the three young ladies. Her little face was so rosy under the light of the fire that everyone who saw it wanted to reach out and pinch it!
"This is just a little trick. It's called fire control. It's the basic skill for us cultivators!"
"Practice? Little fairy, you also know how to practice? Then the name Little Fairy is really worthy of you!" Zhu Zhu said with a longing look on her face.
"What is well-deserved?" Nan Zhaozhao felt a little embarrassed. She had little education and did not understand a lot of what these people said, but she knew the principle of asking if she did not understand.
"To be worthy of the name means that your strength is worthy of your name!"
"Oh, so that's how it is. The name Little Fairy is really suitable for me!"
The bonfire grew bigger and bigger, and the members of the firewood collection team came back one after another. With the light of the bonfire, they realized that they all looked miserable, as if they had just had a fight. On the contrary, only the youngest, Nan Zhaozhao, looked clean and relaxed.
Wang Yan covered her stomach and said miserably, "I'm so hungry. If I had known, I would have eaten more at noon!"
Zhu Zhu also said, "Well, I haven't finished my lunch box yet. If I had finished it, I might not be so hungry right now!"
Everyone was hungry, but no one could come to eat in such an environment.
Nan Zhaozhao liked these little brothers and sisters very much. They were all very innocent and had no bad intentions, so she was willing to share her food with everyone. "Would you like to eat this fruit?" As she spoke, everyone saw Nan Zhaozhao take out a pear as big as an adult's fist from her small bag. The skin was crispy and thin, the fruit was full of juice, and the fragrance of the fruit was overflowing. Everyone swallowed their saliva when they saw it. The little fat boy Du Yuhang's eyes emitted rays of light, "Anything else?"
Nan Zhaozhao nodded, "Yes, one for each person should be no problem!"
Nan Zhaozhao took out one large fruit after another from her small shoulder bag. Everyone was amazed and couldn't understand how she did it. It was unscientific to fit so many large fruits into such a small bag. The problem was that no one felt how tired the little girl was carrying so many fruits!
Li Huihui took a bite of the sweet, juicy fruit with the skin and flesh intact, and asked vaguely, "Little Fairy, what kind of pear is this? It's so fragrant, crispy and delicious!"
Nan Zhaozhao was also eating. She shook her head and said, "I don't know either. But to me, they only have one name, fruit. As long as they taste good, it doesn't matter what they are called!"
The fruit was filled with spiritual energy, which made the boys and girls, who had been running desperately for most of the day, feel a little full. Although they were still a little hungry, it was much better than not eating anything!
"Oh, my parents must be worried to death about me. They must be looking for me everywhere!" Zhu Zhu suddenly talked about her family, which made others start to miss their families as well.
Wang Yan said, "My parents are doing business overseas. I don't know if they know I'm missing!"
Li Huihui buried her head in her knees and said sullenly, "I miss my parents so much!"
The teenagers also missed their families, but they were stronger than the girls. They comforted each other, "As long as we can get out of this mountain safely and find a place with people, we can be saved. Then we can see our families!"
Most children in today's society are only children, so you can imagine how important children are to their parents!
"Mom and Dad, what is that? Is this what our parents meant?" The word sounded so unfamiliar, but when she heard everyone saying this, she thought it must be what her parents meant!
After hearing what Nan Zhaozhao said, everyone seemed to understand something. The little girl grew up in a Taoist temple in the mountains. She might have never seen what her parents looked like, let alone the love and care of her parents. Living a life isolated from the outside world since childhood also led to her knowing nothing about the outside world. Alas, what a poor child!
Shangguan Heng's voice softened as he spoke to Nan Zhaozhao, "It's okay. You have your master, fellow apprentices, and us, so you won't be lonely. We will all be your good friends and play with you in the future."
Du Yuhang quickly added, "Yes, yes, our parents will be your parents in the future, so don't feel lonely!"
After Du Yuhang finished speaking, the others followed to comfort Nan Zhaozhao. Nan Zhaozhao thought, what's wrong with you? I just asked what the word "mom and dad" meant. Why are you all so excited? Are you saying that you want to give your parents to me? "This is not good!"
"There's nothing wrong with that. As long as we go back, our relationship will be one of sharing happiness together!"
Although Nan Zhaozhao was the youngest in the group, she was the smartest. She knew that the young men and women in front of her were all comforting her and caring about her, so it was impossible for her not to be moved. She took a deep breath and forced back the tears in her eyes, then smiled and replied, "You should still be hungry, I'll go hunt for you and let you have a meal of pure wild barbecue!"
Everyone was shocked to hear Nan Zhaozhao's words, and they all said in unison, "No, it's the middle of the night, and in such a dangerous place deep in the mountains and old forests, why are you, a little kid, going hunting!"
"That's right. We just ate the pears you gave us and we're not that hungry anymore. Just sit there and don't go anywhere!"
