Spirit Stone Hunter

There was a long silence in the study, and finally Zhan Jiuxian asked, "Uncle Zhao, how are those nine people doing now?"

Zhao Heng replied: "Four of them stayed in the central experimental area as researchers, and now they all have the physique of spirits. They are all three or four years older than Xiaotian, and they have been trained according to the route of scientific researchers since childhood. The other five There are two in the army. They are ordinary people transformed into Quebecs. Their physical fitness has indeed improved a lot. They are basically not much different from ordinary Quebecs, except that the upper limit of level is not high. The remaining three chose to live freely. One It was a spirit man transformed into a Kui man, but it was not successful. He had already turned back into a spirit man four years ago, and now he is learning to identify spirit stones like Xiaotian, but his talent is not high, and it is basically impossible for him to become a master. The other two are Quebecs transformed into ordinary people, they have not changed at present, their bodies are relatively stable, they chose to live together, they are now married, they opened a clothing store, and their lives are very stable.”

"That means you won't interfere with these people's lives?" Ma Xiaotian asked.

Zhao Heng nodded: "Of course. So don't worry, you two, we won't do you any harm. It's just that you need to check your body. Ordinary hospital equipment is not enough to fully detect your current physical condition. But you have already From an ordinary person to a spirit person, the spiritual energy in the body indicates that it has returned to its original position or has mutated. After this situation, the previous people will not change. But after all, you are of the same age. It’s better to be cautious.”

Ma Xiaotian nodded, and turned to see Zhan Jiuyi still frowning.He has never really lost his temper with Zhan Jiu. Although he was really angry just now, seeing Zhan Jiu like this now, he feels a little guilty. "Ninth brother, I'm not really angry with you."

Zhan Jiu sighed, and took Ma Xiaotian's hand: "I know. You should be angry. I kept it from you for so long."

Ma Xiaotian had a pretty strong face just now, but after listening to Zhan Jiu's words, and seeing the doting and distressed expression on his face, he suddenly felt aggrieved for some reason.

Zhan Jiu quickly hugged him and patted his back, then looked at Zhao Heng: "Uncle Zhao, can I have a few words with Xiaotian alone?"

Zhao Heng is blaming himself for being reckless, so why not agree.So he nodded and took two quick steps to the door. "I'll ask Shanzi to call you after dinner. Xiaotian just found out about this, so he needs to calm down. I told them that you are looking at my collection, so don't worry about their interruption."

Zhan Jiu nodded gratefully, then sat down on the sofa with Ma Xiaotian in his arms.After Zhao Heng went out, he closed the study door.He couldn't help lowering his head and kissed Xiaotian's lips. "Don't be sad, you have me. I will never leave you."

Zhao Heng was here just now, talking about serious things, Ma Xiaotian really didn't have any big mood swings.Sorrow just makes him a little powerless, but it doesn't make him cry.But now it's gone, only Zhan Jiu who loves him wholeheartedly is left in the room, and the grievance in his heart, maybe the grievance that he has hidden for two lifetimes, came to his heart.Eye circles are red, tears are swirling in the eyes. "My parents are very good to me." My parents have given me the love of my father and mother that I never enjoyed in my previous life.Now suddenly tell him that the couple is not his biological parents, how can such a strong sense of contrast not make people uncomfortable.Ma Xiaotian is actually not very courageous, he is also afraid, afraid that there are many things that do not belong to him.

Zhan Jiu hugged Ma Xiaotian tightly and rubbed Xiaotian's shoulder vigorously, as if this could comfort the sad child. "They love you."

Burying his face on Zhan Jiu's neck, Ma Xiaotian responded in a muffled voice: "Yes. I know. So I am very lucky. Compared with those people, I have at least a complete childhood. I have parents to take care of them. They are real. They treat me as their own son, even if we are not related by blood, they are still my parents. It will never change."

Some words are more like comforting and venting to myself.Ma Xiaotian chattered to Zhan Jiu about a lot of things he had with his parents when he was young.Every time I say something, I am affirming the past with memories.Gradually, his restless heart calmed down.

Zhan Jiu felt distressed, but also rejoiced.If it wasn't for the fact that the Ma family and his wife hadn't forgotten to save the child when they escaped, how could they be saved now.Believe in love in this way, believe in the salvation of the home.

In the end, Ma Xiaotian stopped and looked at Zhan Jiu: "Brother Jiu, if I go to check with Uncle Zhao, will it affect my affairs?"

Zhan Jiu knew what Ma Xiaotian was referring to.The spiritual pulse width is not a big problem.Although rare, it is not unique.But Xiaotian's additional ability in making Lingshi jewelry is indeed unprecedented in this world. "It should not be found out. And even if it is found out, they will not force you to do anything."

Ma Xiaotian expressed doubts: "Really not? Isn't it worth using it?"

Zhan Jiu replied: "Using it forcibly is not the same as making good use of it. What's more, you only get this effect when you make Lingshi jewelry. The inspection will not let you do these things."

Ma Xiaotian thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes. I just worry too much. Then check it out. If your body is really fine, you can feel more at ease, right?"

Zhan Jiu touched his cheek: "Yes."

Ma Xiaotian also stretched out his hands, put them on Zhan Jiu's face, and then pulled the corner of his mouth. "Smile. I'm not sad anymore. Don't be so stern?"

The itchy feeling on his face really made Zhan Jiu smile. "Okay. I don't have a straight face. If you laugh in the future, I will laugh with you."

Ma Xiaotian's optimism meant that he would not think too long about this kind of matter that required him to struggle and rack his brains. When he had finished speaking, he took Zhan Jiu's arm and stood up. "There is still enough time, let's go out. Otherwise it will be ugly. I still have enough time to cook a dish for Uncle Zhao, and I just promised him."

There is nothing wrong with Zhan Jiu now. "Okay. I'll help you."

Everyone thought that Ma Xiaotian and Zhan Jiu stayed in the study to look at the Lingshi collected by Zhao Heng.So no one doubted what shocking secret they told.Now that Ma Xiaotian and the others came out and said they wanted to cook them a special dish, Zhao Mengshan and his brothers were clamoring for more, so they had to try Ma Xiaotian's cooking skills.

For cooking, Ma Xiaotian doesn't have much pursuit.But the pride from the previous life is still there.Seeing everyone's high interest, Ma Xiaotian's mood also rose.I was still in a sad mood just now, but now under the booing of a group of people, I forgot all my troubles.Pulling Zhan Jiu and Ying Feng into the kitchen, Zhao Heng and his wife couldn't help but like the look of "You guys are fine".Such a child seems heartless, but in fact he cares about everyone around him.How can people stop thinking about being nice to him.

Before Ma Xiaotian entered the kitchen, he didn't have much idea of ​​what to do.After entering the kitchen, he asked Zhao's chef what ingredients were in the kitchen. He finally decided to use the red oil chili sauce he brought to make spicy duck cubes.It tastes good, and is simple and convenient.

This kind of wild duck called Kuan Yu is very big. According to Ma Xiaotian's understanding, this is not a duck, it should be an ostrich.But in fact, despite its large size, its meat quality is not much different from that of ordinary ducks.Soft and elastic, even the fishy smell of duck meat is exactly the same when it is not processed well.

To remove these smells, in addition to removing the blood, the feathers in the duck skin must be removed very clean.Of course, Ma Xiaotian didn't need to work hard on this.The wide-feather duck in the kitchen has long been processed.Ma Xiaotian originally wanted Zhan Jiu to help chop the duck into duck meat.As a result, the chef asked to extend his hand after listening to Ma Xiaotian's request.As if he couldn't trust this Quebec.

In the end, Zhan Jiu was "pushed" out of the kitchen, leaving only Ying Feng to help.In fact, the spicy duck cubes don't need to be too much trouble.After the duck meat is chopped into pieces, it must be blanched to remove the blood.Then add spices and cook until medium.This spice is even simpler, just put in the fishy ones used in ordinary kitchens.Seeing that the chef took out his Zhinao to record the recipe, Ma Xiaotian smiled and said to him: "You don't have to be so strict. Because the main seasoning is the red oil and hot sauce at the back. The spices and two vegetables that are put in now, It’s all to get rid of the fishy smell of duck meat. You see, it can be fished out after cooking until there is no blood at all.”

When the duck meat was taken out to drain, Ma Xiaotian put some vegetable oil in the cauldron, then put some slightly sweet vegetable strips in, and continued to do the "teaching" work while frying. "This is to increase the complex taste of the dish, because the chili sauce I made is very spicy, so it is necessary to add some sweetness to combine it. After the vegetables are fried soft, you can spoon some chili sauce into it. Yes. This ratio is not fixed, because everyone has different tastes. In order to take care of everyone, put a tablespoon and a half today."

The fried red oil base is poured with two spoons of the original soup of the duck, and then the duck is put in it, stir-fried evenly, and then slowly simmered in the flavor.The process is much simpler than the chef imagined, which makes the chef a little worried about the finished product.Covering the pot and simmering for 10 minutes, Ma Xiaotian felt that it was almost done. After opening the pot, a strong and spicy smell came over his face immediately.Ma Xiaotian scooped up a piece for the chef to try.It took a taste of the chef to fully believe that the connection between good taste and production time is not necessarily completely related.

That evening, the meal at Zhao's with spicy duck nuggets received the highest praise.Everyone is praising Ma Xiaotian for his ability, Zhao Mengshan and Han Jiang and his brothers even joked about Zhan Jiu's good luck.Only Zhao Heng and Mrs. Zhao would think of Ma Xiaotian's life experience and feel that this child is pitiful and lovable, so after a few glasses of wine, Zhao Heng insisted on recognizing Ma Xiaotian as his godson.Ma Xiaotian didn't know what to do.

In the end, the godfather admitted.Because not only Zhao Heng, but even Lou Mei said that he likes this son.Zhao Mengshan and Han Jiang gave Zhan Jiu winks frequently.How can Zhan Jiu not know that Xiaotian recognized Zhao's couple as godparents, and they both have backers in the future.There is no need to compare with the Zhan family, even ordinary business contacts will be of great help.What's more, Zhan Jiu thought about what Ma Xiaotian was worried about.So he motioned to Ma Xiaotian and nodded, everyone was happy.

It was after ten o'clock in the evening that everyone went back to their respective homes.On the car back, Zhan Jiu told everything that Zhao Heng said today.

Both Huo Congting and Ying Feng looked at Ma Xiaotian.Ma Xiaotian felt strangely uncomfortable. "Well, don't look at me. I'm fine."

Ying Feng patted him on the shoulder: "You are stronger than me."

Ma Xiaotian didn't understand.But then he heard the "insider story" that was more shocking than his own life experience. "Are you like me?"

Ying Feng nodded: "It's because of this that I've been out for so long. It's why senior brother has been looking for me for so long."

Ma Xiaotian was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Ninth brother, do you want to tell Zhao... godfather?"

Zhan Jiu replied: "I have to listen to Brother Ting about this matter. After all, Mr. Cai used to be one of Tianmu's core researchers. There are too many things involved in this. So I didn't tell Uncle Zhao."

Huo Congting didn't respond for a while, and the atmosphere in the car was a little tense.It was Ying Feng who couldn't help calling him first, and Huo Congting sighed. "I'll find a way to contact Master tomorrow. I really can't talk about this matter until I get an answer from Master. But I also hope that Xiaofeng can get the most complete physical examination for you."

"I know you are worried about me, but it's not a day or two or a year or two. Let's talk about it after contacting Master." Ying Feng looked at Ma Xiaotian's worried eyes and comforted him: "Don't worry. My Much stronger physically than you. Isn't it?"

Ma Xiaotian nodded vigorously: "I don't even think there is a problem with my health. But they saved 26 people, and only nine survived. I always feel a little uneasy."

Ying Feng sighed: "But we are still alive."

Ma Xiaotian thought for a while, and smiled: "Yes. We are still alive. We are still free and happy! Okay! This is not a problem, go home! Let's talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow!"
