Chapter 299: Successive Harvests
Soon, Xu Yi and Lu Ke found a mountain roe deer.
There was no suspense, Lu Ke directly used a short crossbow to get it, and then after catching it, he dragged it to the water's edge and threw it into the river.
The roe deer struggled and fluttered in the river.
Xu Yi and Lu Ke followed on the shore, and after the roe deer flowed for more than 200 meters, they no longer struggled.
In the middle of this process, not a single crocodile appeared.
You know, the roe deer is still bleeding in the process of struggling, which should be a lot of attraction for crocodiles.
But there was no movement at all, which was very abnormal.
The two of them continued to follow, after all, they also needed to return to the place where Juha and the reindeer rested.
"It seems that there are really no crocodiles in this river. Xu Yi said helplessly, it is really not so easy to eat crocodile meat.
"Maybe it's because of the blizzard, maybe they've migrated. "Lu Ke thinks that those crocodiles should not have been frozen to death, at least there are corpses frozen to death, right?
However, there was no trace of it.
"Forget it, we don't have anything to do with this crocodile meat, I'm going to get the carcass of the roe deer back and eat it at noon. With that, Xu Yi prepared to go down and get the body back.
At this time, a dark shadow appeared in the sky.
"Giant Forest. Lu Ke pointed to the sky, and then raised his spear.
With the spear, she can directly attack the giant forest bird without having to run into the jungle to dodge.
Not enough, the target of the giant forest bird is not Xu Yi and Lu Ke, but the mountain roe deer in the water.
Its claws buckled on the carcass of the roe deer, and flew away with the carcass of the roe deer.
Xu Yi raised his middle finger at the giant forest bird and did not attack with a hunting bow, because the giant forest bird moved quickly.
If it hadn't hit the vital point, the giant forest would not have fallen immediately.
Die somewhere else, there are no points. So, there is no need to shoot either.
"Xu Yi, did you say that the crocodile was frozen, and then all of them were captured by the giant forest storbul?" Lu Ke looked at the giant forest bird in the distance, and couldn't help but think about it.
After all, such a big snowstorm, more than ten degrees below zero, it should be normal to freeze a crocodile to death, right?
Xu Yi nodded, not ruling out this possibility.
These giant forest birds are estimated to depend on this river for their survival, and they may really be the ones who did it. After all, crocodiles are very cold-sensitive creatures, and most of them live in temperate and tropical zones.
"Let's go back and nibble on jerky. Xu Yi retracted his gaze, their meal was gone, and they could only eat some jerky.
Back to Juha and the reindeer, Juha was lying on the ground, and the reindeer were grazing.
Xu Yi and Lu Ke ate some jerky, and then rode their mounts along the river upstream.
What is it like upstream, Xu Yi and Lu Ke don't know yet, while they still have time, so they will go to see the situation, maybe they can't say what they will gain.
All the way along the riverbank, the two men drove their mounts forward.
Suddenly, Xu Yi stopped.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ke turned his head and returned to Xu Yi's side, because Xu Yi had already turned over.
"Pepper, these are peppers. Xu Yi said excitedly, thinking that he had seen a small slice of pepper.
"Ah, these are peppers, they are the kind of peppers with black pepper, that's a thing!" Lu Ke's eyes widened, and he immediately jumped off his back.
"Yes, these peppers are still green, which means that they are not ripe, and when they are dried, they are black peppers. As he spoke, Xu Yi took off a few peppers, put them in his mouth and took a bite to confirm the taste.
Yes, it's pepper, a very important seasoning.
"What about white pepper?" Lu Ke asked curiously, she knew that there were two kinds of black pepper and white pepper, but she didn't know what the difference was between them except for color.
"White pepper is when the skin of the pepper turns red and ripens thoroughly, and then the skin is removed and dried, and it is white pepper. Xu Yi explained, and then began to pick the peppers.
"So it was, and I learned it again. As he spoke, Lu Ke smiled sweetly and picked these peppers with Xu Yi.
All the pepper together, more than thirty catties, this is also a big harvest for Xu Yi and Lu Ke.
After all, if you exchange points, a small bottle of black pepper will cost you 5 points.
So many, it's worth a few hundred points.
After picking the pepper, Xu Yi and Lu Ke went back with their points, after all, it was already past three o'clock, and it was time to go back.
"Xu Yi, it seems to be a tomato over there?" As he spoke, Lu Ke rode over on Juha.
Then, I heard Lu Ke shouting excitedly: "Xu Yi, it's a tomato, it's really a tomato." ”
"It seems that today is our lucky day, not only did we get pepper, but we also met tomatoes. Xu Yi said happily, and then jumped off the back of the reindeer.
Lu Ke had already picked a few reddened tomatoes and posed with Xu Yixian.
Xu Yi glanced at it and found that there were thirty tomatoes, each with seven or eight fruits hanging on it, and half of them were ripe.
So, Xu Yi and Lu Ke picked all the ripe tomatoes.
There are more than 40 catties of tomatoes, and it is okay if you can't eat them for a few days, and they can be made into tomato paste, so that they can be stored for a longer time.
"Xu Yi and Lu Ke are really lucky today, in addition to pepper, they actually found tomatoes, if they picked up some more eggs, it would be perfect, tomato scrambled eggs. ”
"Luck was good, but I'm more expecting them to meet the crocodile. ”
"The crocodile must have really froze to death, and then it was taken away by the giant forest stork. ”
"It's about an hour to go back now, what do you think Xu Yi and Lu Ke will encounter?"
"Do you want them to inherit the title of koi?"
"It seems that those who are qualified to become koi have all been eliminated, so you better not curse Xu Yi and Lu Ke. ”
Xu Yi and Lu Ke controlled their speed for the next time, and their eyes kept sweeping around.
After all, obtaining pepper and tomatoes made Xu Yi and Lu Ke feel that Lin Zi still hid a lot of treasures, which they might not have discovered before.
However, until they returned to the camp, they found nothing else.
When I got back to camp, it wasn't dark yet.
Xu Yi originally wanted to go to the neighborhood to hunt a rabbit and come back to cook dinner, but after turning around, he didn't find the shadow of the rabbit.
Speaking of which, when they went out today, they rarely encountered animals.
I don't know if the blizzard was so big that the animals were cowering in their nests and didn't dare to come out.
So, in the evening, Xu Yi and Lu Ke took tomatoes and cooked soup with potatoes and jerky.
Halfway through dinner, Xu Yi and Lu Ke heard a shout.
It sounded like the cry of a goat.
