Chapter 51: The Natives of the Jungle
The men were babbling a lot of things, and Jessica stepped forward and smiled and exchanged a few words with them, and the men laughed and even hugged Jessica.
Then the people were let in, and a few of them led them to a large tent with a very primitive wooden table.
Unfortunately, there were no chairs, so everyone put their backpacks on the ground and sat down at the table, where there were some wild fruits and other things, all picked from the woods.
This is definitely not eaten in the city, it belongs to the kind of organic fruit, and the nutritional value is very high.
Amy picked up a red fruit and took a big bite, it was really sweet and delicious, and she couldn't help but praise: "Very delicious, this fruit tastes a bit like a tomato, and a bit like a strawberry." Hurry up and try it!"
Then everyone also ate it, and they had seen these fruits in the forest before, but they didn't know if they were poisonous or not, so they didn't dare to try them.
"By the way, Jessica, they treat us like VIPs and treat us so highly. What the hell did you tell them?" Edward was still quite alert, and immediately thought of what had happened before.
At this time, they all looked at Jessica, after all, everyone still didn't fully trust this girl.
Jessica ate the fruit as she said, "I brought what they needed, and it was a deal." ”
"So, you didn't come here to rob the Fountain of Youth, but bought it?" Lin Fei didn't expect these people to give money.
Jessica said angrily: "People don't sell it expensive, why rob it?"
There seems to be nothing wrong with this, if the other party sells things at a reasonable price and you can afford them, of course you don't have to rob them, after all, it's a shame to rob other people's things.
At this moment, a dark-skinned young man, dressed in a very simple robe and coat, walked in with a plate.
He suddenly knelt down in front of Jessica, then lowered his head and picked up the plate.
Jessica was not surprised, but took out some white metal pieces from her pocket and put them on, and when the man saw it, his eyes were full of heat, and he walked out.
"Are those things silver?!" Even Blanche could see that the color of those metals should be oxidized silver.
The price of silver is actually not expensive, one gram is not enough for a few dollars in the world, and the few pieces of silver just now should weigh more than three catties, and the total value is only a few thousand yuan.
Jessica sat cross-legged and said casually, "That's right, it's silver." You may not think that silver, which is not very expensive in the outside world, is regarded by them as very precious, and can even be exchanged for water from the Holy Spring. ”
"Then your business is really cost-effective, but why don't you buy more? In my opinion, you shouldn't be short of money, right?" Lin Fei remembered what happened before.
Before, outside the hotel, someone sold fake immortal spring water to everyone, and it was very expensive, a small cup cost 10,000 US dollars, equivalent to nearly 70,000 yuan.
If you have so much money, you can already buy dozens of catties of silver, that is to say, even if you take the water of the real immortal spring, you can earn a lot of money.
Jessica glanced at the knife in her waist, raised her head and said, "We are indeed not short of money, but this holy spring has existed for thousands of years, and it is about to dry up, and it will take a long time to produce very little spring water. ”
They came here this time to take away the spring water, which was agreed upon by both parties.
After a while, a very old man, dressed in a white robe, walked in. The man looked very old, but his hair, eyebrows, and beard were all black, and the white robe he was wearing had some strange symbols on it.
If you look closely, you can see that the clothes on his clothes are basically the same as the symbols on the outside of the tent.
The old man slowly walked to Jessica's side with a bamboo tube in both hands, and then carefully placed the bamboo tube on the table.
Then he bent down slightly, crossed his hands on his chest, and made a strange gesture, needless to say that it was a kind of etiquette for them. Jessica also drew the gourd in the same way, and sat down to return the salute, and the eyes of the others were all focused on the bamboo tube.
The two of them also muttered something that no one but Jessica could understand, and it was only after a few minutes that the old man slowly retreated.
Blanche immediately stood up and walked over, reaching for the bamboo tube on the table, but Jessica grabbed it first.
"What?!You don't want to give it to me?!" Blanche subconsciously grabbed her knife.
The corners of Jessica's mouth raised, and she said coldly: "I don't care, you won't let me get it anyway, but if this thing is given to you, I don't know if others agree or not." ”
She glanced at Lin Fei intentionally or unintentionally, since these people were all here for the Fountain of Youth, she didn't believe that Lin Fei would agree to give the spring water to Blanche?
At this time, the atmosphere in the whole tent suddenly became tense, and everyone turned their heads to look at the two people. Originally, Edward and the two people outside were also for the spring of this fountain of youth, but now they sat there and didn't dare to say a word.
In this entire tent, the two of them had no ability to compete for the spring water of the Fountain of Youth, so they could only sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
"Jessica, I know what you're thinking, it's nothing more than trying to use the water of this fountain of youth to cause us to fight. Actually, it doesn't matter to me, it's such a big bamboo tube, I'm sure Miss Blanche will be willing to share me a little bit in the end. Of course Lin Fei wanted the spring water of this ancient spring, but now was not the time.
At least one thing was certain now, Blanche would not drink the water of the Fountain of Youthfulness until they were safely out of the forest.
And to a large extent, Blanche's ZP evolutionary should also want to study this spring.
Aimir licked his lips and said, "Lin Fei, how can you be sure that what is inside is the spring water of the real Fountain of Youth. ”
"Everyone has also seen that the person just now should be the leader of the entire tribe. If it weren't for the water of the Holy Spring, would he be so cautious?" Lin Fei could be sure that this spring water came from the Holy Spring, the real reason was that he felt it, and the spring water contained a rich aura of heaven and earth.
Only a cultivator like him can feel it, ordinary people can't feel it, and even the most advanced scientific instruments now can't detect the existence of aura.
Ordinary people in places with strong aura, of course, will also have some feelings, that is, they will feel that the air around them is very fresh and comfortable.
This is probably one of the reasons why those people call this holy spring the Fountain of Youth, drinking such a rich spring water can indeed make people feel extremely comfortable in a short time.
Jessica had already stood up at this time, and she was forced into a corner by Blanche, and suddenly threw the bamboo tube in her hand and said, "If you don't want it, I'll give it to you!"
The direction of the bamboo tube was exactly where Lin Fei was sitting, and in full view of everyone, the bamboo tube crossed a parabola in the air, and Lin Fei took it in his hand as soon as he stretched out his hand.
This bamboo tube is about 20 centimeters high, and the spring water in it is not much, but if it is used for research, it is more than enough.
After verifying the efficacy of this spring water, if he could really recover the memory of his previous life, Lin Fei planned to give this thing to Liu Weiwei to drink.
"Hmph, I'll clean you up sooner or later!" Blanche gave Jessica a smack.
The sound was loud, this blow was not light, Jessica's whole head was beaten sideways, her face immediately burned with pain, and left a bright red five finger print, at the same time, the corners of her mouth began to bleed.
But Jessica didn't look a little scared on her face, but laughed, stuck out her tongue and licked the blood from the corner of her mouth. She was obviously happy with her plan, and she wanted to see if the group would fight for the Fountain of Youth.
The people who came with her were dead, and by her own power, of course, there was no way to bring the water of the Fountain of Youthless back to Europe.
Since you can't get it yourself, it's fun to use this thing as bait and watch a good show.
Sure enough, Jack and Rod immediately pulled out their knives and walked to Lin Fei's side, but Lin Fei was still sitting there and ignored them at all.
Jessica gloated and said, "Lin Fei, did you see it? At the last moment, you are just like this, it seems that you don't need me to do anything at all, they are very likely to kill you for the sake of immortality." ”
"Maybe, they might want to kill me, but they won't do it. It's the same reason that you don't dare to kill me, and I don't think they're sure they can kill me. Lin Fei picked up a wild fruit that looked a bit like an apple and took a bite into it.
There was a crisp click, and the whole tent was very quiet at this time, and only the sound of Lin Fei eating fruit could be heard.
Blanche was a little hesitant, with her strength, she was really not sure to kill Lin Fei. Well, before this, Lin Fei had easily subdued her, and the ability she showed along the way was too strong.
She wasn't sure at all now, and she couldn't help but frown slowly, not knowing how to decide. Before she came, she had made a package ticket, and she had to bring back the water from the Fountain of Youth, and if she couldn't bring it back, she would be punished.
She walked up to Lin Fei and said with a smile, "Are you really sure I can't kill you?"
"Don't you think the same way, if you thought you could kill me, you should have done it a long time ago, right?" Lin Fei had already put the water of the Spring of Immortality into the backpack behind him.
Hearing this, Blanche was shocked, her thoughts were completely seen through by the other party, that is, she hadn't made a move yet, in fact, she had already lost.
Who knew that Blanche suddenly put away the knife, and the smile on her face completely bloomed, she actually sat next to Lin Fei, picked up the fruit on the table and ate it, and said while eating: "You are really joking, we are friends, how could I kill you?"
"Yes, I hope so. Lin Fei smiled faintly, noncommittal.
The expressions on Amy's and Edward's faces slowly eased, and the tense atmosphere in the entire tent seemed to disappear all at once, and everyone returned to their previous happy appearance.
After a while, several girls came in, all of them aborigines, and the clothes they wore were only simply cut, and some of them were wearing animal skins.
These girls look more rounded, not as thin as they are now, but they are not ugly. They shouldn't usually pay much attention to their figures, so they have such a posture.
These men certainly did not come in empty-handed, and each of them carried a plate with a wooden flask on top of it, and then a wooden cup.
By the time the wine was put in front of everyone, the whole room was already full of wine, and the wine worms in Lin Fei's stomach seemed to be hooked.
If you smell the aroma of this wine, you can tell that these wines are all made from those wild fruits.
Jessica returned to her seat, ignoring everyone's eyes at all, and drank by herself, Lin Fei directly picked up the wine jug and drank it.
Edward said a little uneasily: "Everyone should be careful, I don't know if there is a problem with this wine?!"
When he saw that Lin Fei was already drinking there, he was a little worried, in fact, it was because Lin Fei had that kind of physique that was invincible to all poisons, so he dared to drink it.
"This is the wine that people use to entertain VIPs, and it is extremely precious, much better than those outside. You really don't know how to lift, and your courage is too small, so if you don't drink it, bring it all to me. Jessica snorted coldly, seemingly looking down on these people very much.
With Blanche's character, of course, she couldn't stand such words, and she immediately picked up the flask and drank it. However, the taste of this wine is indeed good, it is simply the legendary elixir and jade dew.
It's obviously a brewed sake, but it tastes sweet and sour, and it's all a wild fruit aroma, and you can't feel the taste of alcohol.
After taking a big gulp, Blanche felt like she was standing on a cloud, and her whole body was much lighter, she stood up and said, "Sure enough, it's good wine! I've never drunk such good wine when I'm so big!"
In fact, people's taste is very strange, and most of the time what people think tastes good is not really good, but an illusion that you have when you try these things for the first time.
People here may drink this wine a lot, and they won't think it tastes good, maybe it's just an ordinary drink.
Seeing that everyone was drinking, Emile and Edward immediately had no scruples, and began to drink their cups.
After a few minutes, Jessica's jug of wine had been drunk, and she stood up with a mysterious smile on her face: "What do you think of this wine?"
"It's amazing, even compared to Italian wines!" Edward worked at UNESCO, but used his position to travel almost the whole world.
Eight out of ten men like to drink, and Edward certainly drank all the best wine in the world, so his evaluation is still very authoritative.
Amy's face also began to flush, and she said with drunkenness: "The taste is indeed very unique, it should be made by a special brewing method, which is different from the processing method of our modern wine, so that it will have this taste." ”
As the saying goes, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, after Emily drank this wine, she began to think about how this wine was made.
"Ah, these people are stupid, and if they sell this wine, it may be worth more than the water of the holy spring. "Lin Fei's wine jug has already been drunk.
But Blanche's two subordinates sat there and didn't drink a drop, and the two of them drank all the two pots of wine by Blanche alone.
Jessica walked to the center of the room and continued, "Don't you feel anything but the wine is good?"
"Of course, I feel like my body is lilt, as if lying on cotton, it's so comfortable!" Blanche had already fallen to the ground by this time.
Completely ignoring her image, lying on the ground and rolling, she didn't care about the eyes of others at all, her personality was already free and easy, even more so after getting drunk.
Edward suddenly saw that the people around him seemed to have double vision, he rubbed his eyes, and then the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, and said, "This wine is too strong, isn't it? ”
He has also drunk vodka with a high number, but this has never been the case, and these national drinks are definitely not so high.
"Something seems to be wrong, I also feel that I have some strength in my body, is there something wrong with this wine?" Amiel struggled to get up, but fell heavily to the ground.
The smile on Jessica's face was even stronger, and she succeeded in her trick, suddenly pulled out her knife, and said with a smile: "You guys are so stupid, I know the leader here, so I asked them to add something special to the wine." But rest assured, the contents of this wine are not fatal, they will only make you weak. ”
Just now she was in front of these people and the leader of the tribe, and the two of them were talking together, but unfortunately no one could understand these people.
Now in the whole room, except for Jessica, only Jack and Rod didn't drink a drop of wine, and the two of them were capable of dealing with this girl.
Hearing this, Blanche, who was lying on the ground, immediately woke up half of her alcohol, and she struggled and said, "You two, hurry up and catch this woman!"
Jessica drugged them all, with bad intentions, of course, and Blanche thought she was going to rob the Fountain of Youth.
When Jack and Rod heard this, they immediately stood up and rushed over, blocking Jessica.
"You're a little too sensitive, aren't you? Actually, what I'm doing is not bad for you, but it's good, I just need to kill this Lin Fei alone. After killing him, as for the water of the Fountain of Youth, any of you can take it, and I don't care. Jessica pointed to Lin Fei, who was sitting there.
Lin Fei just sat there with a smile and didn't say a word, everyone thought that he had also been tricked, but in fact, he sat there and did nothing.
He turned his head to look at Blanche, and said as if helplessly, "It seems that I am in a catastrophe this time, Miss Blanche, I think you have always wanted to kill me in your heart, right?"
Blanche really had this idea in her mind, because the goal of both of them was the water of the Fountain of Youth, ostensibly working together to enter the jungle.
But at the beginning, Blanche had already made up her mind to kill Lin Fei after she got the water of the Spring of Youth, if the other party didn't die, she would definitely not be able to take the spring water.
