fly me to the moon

chapter 4

Kiko was worried about what to put the fish and stone snails in. The only thing in her hand is the small magic box that brought her to this world, so small, a few stone snails will be full, can not take off the coat to fill it, right? Kiko stared sadly at the magic box and thought wildly. But no sooner had she thought about it than a black bag appeared next to the magic box.

Wow! This! This! Is this a real magic treasure box?

Kiko felt her heart beating wildly and uncontrollably! How can this magic box have such a magical function? Can it send her home?

She stared expectantly at the magic box, but this time there was no change. After waiting for a while longer, there was still no change that was expected. "Ugh, this won't work~" Kiko beamed and sighed.

This magic box is so magical, maybe it's the key thing to help you get home. Kiko is determined to protect the magic box. Maybe the magic box has other powers, she will have to take her time to study it.

Kiko quickly looked around, only heard the birds chirping, intuition should not be any danger. Just now she was thinking about the bag, and the magic box turned out a black cloth bag. That means that the magic box can sense her thoughts. So she thought again in her mind, "Want a portable tent". Just after the thought, a small simple tent with a diameter of about 2 meters appeared beside her.

Wow! It really worked!

Kiko was overjoyed! She got into the tent with the magic box and continued her experiment.

She sat in the tent with her eyes on the magic box and opened her mouth and whispered, "Make it smaller!" As soon as the words left her mouth, the box shrank by 50%. "Make it smaller again!" The box shrank by another 50%. "Get smaller again!" The box shrank by another 50%. Until the box became the size of a bowl of beans, the box stopped getting smaller. "Get bigger!" The box expanded by 50%. "Get bigger again!" The box expanded by another 50%. Until the box became back to its original size, it stopped getting bigger. "I want two flintstones, a short gun for self-defense, a multi-functional retractable wolf-proof wand, a small wilderness emergency medical kit, a set of clothes to wash and change, a good backpack, and some random currency in circulation here." Kiko said his requirements in one breath, and as soon as the words left his mouth, a bulging black waterproof canvas backpack appeared in front of Kiko. Kiko's eyes lit up, Kiko opened the backpack and checked it carefully. The backpack is a great place to start. And the items in the backpack are automatically sorted and neatly arranged ...... This is a feature she likes!

"Hahaha! Great! ...... I'm smiling proudly, and smiling proudly again!" Kiko can't help but sing, it's just too good, isn't it? This is really a hundred treasure box, definitely a must-have for home travel!

From this moment on, all the anxiety she felt when she first arrived in this world had vanished into thin air! Kiko decided to have a good time here and then find a way to go back. Hey, hey! ...... or first solve the immediate food, clothing and housing.

Kiko thinks that the ability to adapt to the environment is still quite strong, there is no way to starve herself to death here. So she asked the magic box for a set of small soup pot, soup spoon, and a set of small frying pan, stir-fry spatula and a small bottle of salt.

What a way to get what you want. Kiko kissed the Magic Box twice with joy, so she had to hide such a good Magic Box, no one must know about it! She knew the truth that the wall is guilty. So she turned the magic box to the smallest, carefully hidden into the pocket, jumped twice, did not feel the magic box shifted, then rest assured.

Then, she picked up some dry wood and grass nearby, and also looked around to see if she could find some seasoning plants. As luck would have it, she did find two shiso plants! She picked some larger leaves of the perilla and used them to fry stone snails. She didn't find any chili peppers or ginger nearby, so she felt a little sorry for them. However, the stir-fried snails with shiso alone tasted top notch.

Kiko has been very independent since she was a child, and cooking and stir-frying is not easy for her. She took out the knife section from the multi-functional retractable mountain wolf-proof electric stick, skillfully killed the two small fish, cleaned the gills and internal organs, made three cuts on both sides of the fish, and put them in the wok with some shiso. Because of the lack of ginger, we have to make do with it. After adding some stream water to the pot, she remembered that the stove had not been built. She went to pick up several large stones and piled them into a square, leaving one side without stones, which is the mouth of the stove for firewood, which formed a simple stove. She picked up a small handful of hay and put it in the stove, and then took a flint in one hand and struck it against each other. Although she is the first time to use flint, but not much effort, hit two times to ignite the hay.

The magic box is really a good product! Good to use and good to use! It's not that she didn't think about a more convenient lighter directly, but she was worried about the lighter appearing in this world, too conspicuous and easy to reveal her identity. When she goes out, she always follows the principle of low-profile and careful.

She added some dry firewood into the stove, and then handled the stone snail. The stone snail should be cut off the tail to make it easy to eat. A small knife is not heavy enough and will cut harder. She looked up and looked around, there was nothing to use, so she had to resort to the magic box. Now the magic box is in the close pocket, should not have to take out to use it. "Give me a pair of pliers", just finished thinking, and Kiko had an extra pair of pliers in her hand.

Hey, the Magic Box is great! Kiko praised with satisfaction!

With the pliers in hand, she quickly got rid of all the stone snails' tails. Once she had cleaned the snail and the pliers, she put all the food scraps into one place, dug a hole and buried it. One, to destroy the corpse, and two, to eliminate the fishy smell.

Kiko added some dry wood to the stove, ready to fry stone snails, only to find that there is no oil. Cooking in the wild realized that it needed so many things to assist. Usually in the kitchen, oil, salt, vinegar and sugar are always on hand, so if you need anything, you can just get it. But now I realized that in the wild, it is what you want nothing, really no contrast, no harm ah!

What a tangle! If you take too many things out through the magic box, you can't take so many things on the road, not to mention, what if someone finds out? The force value is so low, if people catch themselves as monsters, it is not possible to use all kinds of torture tools to force harm, or sentenced to death or burned alive. Thinking of this, Kiko could not help but shiver with fear and goose bumps!

If only the magic box could take things in and out at will. "Take back the pliers," Kiko tried to mime. Kiko's eyes widened with surprise! "Take out the pliers", Kiko continued to meditate. A pair of pliers appeared in her hand again! She looked at the pliers carefully, smelled them, and there was still a bit of the fishy smell of stone snails left on them.

Great! This proves that it is possible to pick up new items from the magic box and store them in the box after use, and then bring them out of the box when you need to use them. This is simply a mobile treasure trove and storage space ah! It seems that the future will not be too difficult! With this golden finger, as long as she is careful not to be discovered, she should be able to travel the world!

Kiko felt like a chicken blood, full of power! From the magic box to receive a small bottle of oil, originally wanted to try to ask for a piece of ginger, but ended up with a small packet of ginger powder by accident. Kiko took it to heart silently. It seems that the magic box still needs to discover new features! This matter can not be rushed, we must slowly study, now solve the problem of eating first.

Kiko sprinkled some ginger powder and salt into the fish soup, and in a short while, the fish soup gave off a delicious aroma, and the fishy smell became significantly lighter. She added two drops of oil to the fish soup, and it looked good. When the fish soup was fully cooked, Kiko picked up the whole soup pot and put it on the floor next to her. She put the washed frying pan on the stove and prepared to fry the stone snails.

It is very easy to stir-fry the snails, just wait for the pan to heat up, add some oil, add the snails, stir-fry for a while, add shiso leaves and salt, add some water, cover the pan, wait for the water to boil, stir-fry again, cover the pan, until the snails' lid pieces fall off, then the snails are cooked. Only, because it was stir-fried on a rudimentary stove in the wild, Kiko couldn't help but be a bit frazzled as she was adding wood and stir-frying the stone conch, and was still wearing the old costume that was in the way.

"Kiko exhaled, finally the stir-fry was done and it was time to eat! After such intense labor of catching fish and touching stone snails, she had long felt hungry. So she used her brain to send commands directly to the magic box and asked for bowls and chopsticks. She scooped up a small bowl of fish soup, then sat down on the clean boulder earlier, blew lightly on the soup surface and took a small sip of the fish soup. Instantly, it felt like the taste buds were surrounded by a sweet and fresh warmth, and the whole mouth echoed with the aroma of fish soup. It was so delicious! Kiko was surprised and then turned to smile. It looks like this is going to be an adventure and an enjoyable trip!

She looked down and continued to drink from the bowl of soup, feeling like a greedy kitten now. It's a blessing to be able to eat! As soon as the bowl of soup was finished, Kiko immediately filled a small bowl with stone snails and sipped them.

There is a technique to sip the snails. Freshly fried snails are the easiest to eat. First, wrap your lips around the head of the snail, then your tongue against the head of the snail, and while sucking the snail with your lips, pull your tongue back to increase the suction of the air, so you can suck out the meat of the snail. Kiko is a master at sucking snails, and she finished the bowl of stone snails in no time at all. Big! Tasty! It was delicious!

Because of the fear of being discovered, Kiko ate as fast as she could in her life, wiping out the pot of fish soup and all the snails. Wow! Kiko rubbed her stomach and regretted that she had eaten too much.

She really didn't want to move, but there were still piles of pots and pans waiting for her to clean! Resigned to her fate, she gathered up the pots and pans and went to the stream to clean them. Because she didn't want to pollute the clean water, she decided not to use detergent to wash the pots and pans, but to use the ashes from the stove to wash them. The ash contains alkali and can clean the pots and pans, which she used to use when she was a child. Soon she washed everything, then sat down on the stone and silently chanted, "Take back all these dishes." The next instant, all the dishes in front of her disappeared.

Kiko smiled with satisfaction, and then buried the leftover fish bones and conch shells in the ground. Looking at the sky, it seemed that it was already afternoon. She decided to go to the village at the bottom of the mountain to stay overnight before starting her adventure!

She didn't dare to stay in a tent on the mountain because she was afraid that there were wolves or other wild animals in this place. Although she had studied Wing Chun for two terms, she had not learned the art well and was still only a three-legged kung fu fighter. Even if she had a gun with her, she was not confident that she would be able to retreat in front of the beasts. She carried her backpack, stretched the multifunctional hiking wand as a walking stick, let the magic box retrieve the tent, and then destroyed the stove until no trace could be seen before turning around and walking down the hill.

Just as Kiko left the creek, a small bird with a white crown and brocade feathers flew out of the tree next to the creek and into the distance.
