9. A bowl of medicinal soup
Seeing a big living person disappear into the air, several people were shocked, angry and frustrated, Meng Dameng Sankong had a brute strength that couldn't be used, and he scolded the empty sky. After the brothers www.biquge.info vented, although they didn't dare to accuse them in person, it was Brother Qian's mistake to take them out to take them out on an adventure, but they dared to discuss the matter of going home in front of Shi Zhongkui, and their words were full of foul language.
Shi Zhongkui was still bloody, he interrupted the plan of the two, and said with a disdainful face: "The Yashan region is dangerous and abnormal, and the teams sent out to find Leng Yueshi in the past have still not heard from them. Hmph, you two stupid melons should recall that when we first recruited people, which turtle grandchildren were looking for death and begging for life, and begging for me?
The two of them are at a loss, but they still refuse to admit defeat with strong words. For this extremely dangerous and uncertain journey, Qiao Mengchen didn't know why from beginning to end, and he didn't want to ask about it. When his girlfriend saw his back, his face was ruined, and his eyes were damaged, he traveled to this wild planet that he still can't name, and encountered some strange people, monsters, monsters and birds that may not be encountered in his life, and his state of mind slowly calmed down. So far, maybe going with the flow is his best choice.
The three of them were having an unpleasant quarrel, and Brother Qian limped over. I don't know when it regained consciousness, but the after-effects of risking swallowing gall beads are still there, and the tongue is very unfavorable when it speaks: "What a fickle human being! Sometimes it's not as good as those inferior beasts underground, at least people still have some pursuits." If you want to go, you can go, I didn't stop you from waiting!"
Qiao Mengchen once again saw Brother Qian's prestige, and he didn't get angry, and a few words of understatement made the Meng family brothers blushing and lowering their heads and not daring to pick up the stubble.
started again, broke their own flesh and blood for no reason, the mood of the Meng family brothers was not high, and they were also a lot dull along the way. Strange to say, after Meng Er was plundered, no strange things happened along the road, and before the orange-yellow "giant sun" set, four people and a monkey came to a waterhole.
The waterhole is not big or small, the water quality is clear, and some water-loving plants such as reeds are born sparsely around, and there are occasional swimming fish with green tails swimming by. The fact that there is such a water source in the depths of the desert that does not dry up once again shows that the ground is rich in water. However, why the water source is so abundant, but it is still difficult to find vegetation everywhere with brown sand, Qiao Mengchen really can't understand.
The sun was setting surprisingly fast, and in less than half an hour, it was too blurry to see a few meters away. Brother Qian had no choice but to arrange to stay overnight by the waterhole. As night fell, the temperature dropped sharply, and I opened my mouth to speak.
Wearing the cardigan fur shirt given by Brother Qian, the chill on Qiao Mengchen's body immediately disappeared. The clothes are old and ordinary thick, and after wearing them, they don't smell strange, but have a faint fragrance. Qiao Mengchen was slightly surprised, and lowered his head to take a closer look. Brother Qian grinned: "Don't worry, there are no lice and fleas...... There is no monkey smell, my ancestors made a jacket with the skin of the sea beast of the Ice Flame Ocean, which is invulnerable. β
This was the first time he saw Brother Qian's smile, Qiao Mengchen nodded and did not speak. Next to him, Shi Zhongkui took out the ingredients and shouted Meng San to boil water for cooking. As expected, the dinner was a thick salty and astringent cake that I had eaten at noon, with half a pot of water, some gray and black dead grass, and bones taken from the ground oyster...... Is this soup? As for the food they made, Qiao Mengchen really didn't want to try it again.
He took out a few bustard eggs from his bag, picked some reeds and wrapped them properly, and then found the highest sandy area with little water below, and buried the reeds. He knew that there were no less than a hundred ways to cook poultry eggs, but at this moment, he could only use this simplest and most primitive method.
Waiting for a few reckless men to clumsily cook the soup, Qiao Mengchen sandwiched the "fire" to cover the place where the eggs were buried, tried the temperature of the fire and looked at the watch to calculate the time. The "fire" was actually a cobblestone the size of a brick, black and inconspicuous, but after being ignited by Meng San in an unknown way, the cobblestone emitted an inextinguishable flame.
In a few minutes, a refreshing fragrance emerged from the cracks in the sand and hooked everyone's noses, including Brother Qian, who was meditating and spitting on the other side of the dune.
Qiao Mengchen used this fire source for the first time, and he didn't know whether the eggshell of the alien bird's egg was thin or thick. The heat of the stewed eggs is not well controlled, and the outermost egg whites are a little burnt. Even so, the steaming, buttery roasted bustard eggs still succeeded in attracting the three of Shi Zhongkui, staring at the last egg in Qiao Mengchen's hand with drooling.
Maybe it's because the noon bread is too hard to swallow, or maybe it's the green, natural, pollution-free, additive-free bird eggs that are extraordinary, and seriously, the eggs on a strange planet are really delicious. Judging from the first ingredient obtained, this unknown wild ancient land is not useless.
Unable to resist the desperate eyes, the little bird's egg was divided into three partsβnot enough to fill the gaps between the giants' teeth.
Smelling the incense and moving, the Buddha also jumped over the wall.
Brother Qian: "This egg is delicious, isn't it?"
Qiao Mengchen: "It's okay, everything you eat when you're hungry is delicious." β
Brother Qian didn't speak, and looked down at the eggshells scattered on the ground.
Qiao Mengchen thought that his gluttony had also been hooked, and said slightly apologetically that there were only three eggs, which could not satisfy everyone. Brother Qian was silent, but Meng San's eyes were sharp: "It's strange, what about the hemp spots on the eggshell......?" Is it because I am dazzled or is it because the eggs contain an anesthetic that will fascinate my eyes if I eat them?"
Meng San didn't look dazzled, indeed, those eggshells had turned golden, and all the pockmarks on them were invisible. Let's take a long time, Qiao Mengchen thought that the appearance and color of some ingredients will change after being heated, and people with a little common sense of life understand this truth. Brother Qian didn't say anything more, and drifted back to meditate on the sand dunes.
The night was so thick that it could not be dissolved, there was no moon in the sky, and not even the faintest light of the star could be seen. If it weren't for the occasional wailing of the night beasts in the direction of Yashan, the center of this cold desert, like the deepest part of the ocean, would be as dark as a silent and hopeless one.
Shi Zhongkui took out the light source stone and slapped it, and the surroundings instantly lit up a lot. Except for its slightly larger size, this light source stone is no different from the stone Qiao Mengchen had seen in Brother Qian's house before. Qiao Mengchen wrapped his sea beast clothes tightly, and looked idly at Meng Dameng's three tents to get the bedding. Suddenly, he thought of the fat chef, Gong Xiaoyun and Deng Mingming, and remembered the telescopes and turtle shells in his home...... game, I was confused and melancholy for a while.
was sighing, his shoulder was knocked down, and Brother Qian came over with a bowl of soup: "Drink it, I have something to say to you." β
The bowl was still steaming, and a refreshing coolness hit the nose. Don't even think about it, this must be the kind of "soup" that Shi Zhongkui and they just boiled. Qiao Mengchen hesitated, and Brother Qian leaned closer: "Don't be afraid, it's just a bowl of soup, drinking it will be good for you." β
Qiao Mengchen thought about it, it was very simple to harm himself, why use this method. He took the bowl and drank it in one gulp. It's weird, the bowl is a little hot, but the soup is like a spring breeze, cool and abnormal, and there is a hint of sweetness in the mouth.
Suddenly, the internal organs seemed to be injected with infinite energy, and the whole person felt refreshed and tired. What kind of elixir is this, it is so delicious that he can't help but want to have another bowl. He handed over the bowl unsatisfied, but saw that Brother Qian looked a little nervous, and looked himself up and down with a pair of monkey eyes.
Is there something wrong? Qiao Mengchen hurriedly looked down from side to side, but he didn't find anything unusual. Brother Qian still didn't speak, and when he saw that Qiao Mengchen was hairy all over his body, he nodded slightly, and his red face showed a hint of relief: "Now, follow me to the tent, I have some things to explain to you." β
When he walked past Shi Zhongkui and the others, Brother Qian asked them to get it done and quickly collected the light source stone, so as not to let others worry about it. It also asked Meng Da and Meng San to take turns on duty at night, vigilant against wind and grass.
"Sit down," Brother Qian opened the curtain and took off his robe, "Don't panic, I won't eat people." β
Your sister doesn't know where to fly when she gives birth to wings! If you have to eat people, you can only let you go! Regarding the statement that the monkey has no silver three hundred taels here, Qiao Mengchen didn't bother to refute it, and sat down calmly.
"The destination of our trip is the tomb of Yu Bo in the depths of Yaoshan Mountain. There are many treasures hidden in the tomb of Yu Bo, and we have to find one of them!"
Brother Qian sat precariously and said seriously. As the contact deepened, Qiao Mengchen discovered more and more that Brother Qian was not an ordinary monkey, he understood human nature better than ordinary people. It's a pity that there is more of that fleece-like golden retriever.
"My real name is Qian Yigang, and I was originally the protector of Yingtiancheng Lion Buddha Mountain, cough, cough...... That one...... For some reason, he was sent to this Heavenly Continent and became the national teacher of Weiyun Kingdom. β
The unheard of place names in Yingtiancheng, Shifoshan, and Weiyunguo jumped into Qiao Mengchen's sea of thoughts like a monkey, making him dizzy and chilling all over his body. Although he had long seen that the place where he was was no longer even the most remote island on earth, he still hoped that he was wrong, and it was not until these desperate terms came out of Qian Yigang's mouth that he broke off the last trace of illusion.
Wait for me to figure out the idea of the Leaving Heaven Continent? Could it be the "Leaving the Sky" that appears on the family heirloom tortoise shell?!
Qian Yigang tilted his head and glanced at Qiao Mengchen, and took out a small puppet: "You broke into my house last night, and I found out at a glance that you are very human...... If we want to succeed in retrieving the baby, we must piggyback on you. β
Qiao Mengchen helped his glasses, and said in his heart that of course he was not an ordinary person, and when he took off the lenses, he was a blind man with his eyes open!
As if to see through Qiao Mengchen's thoughts, Qian Yigang smiled slightly, and spread out his hairy palms - under the soft white light of the light source stone, a small piece of golden thing shone with a strange color, this is the leftover eggshell fragment just now.
"You may be shocked to say that the bird egg you ate is the egg of Qingluan!"
"Qingluan, what Qingluan?" Qiao Mengchen raised his head, "I didn't mean to eat wild animals, it's just that your food is really unpalatable, so I have to ...... it."
"Just eat it, it's no big deal...... Qingluan is a kind of bird in Yunshang Mountain, what I don't understand is that Yunshang Mountain is millions of miles away, why Qingluan appears here. You must have noticed that it builds its nest with green willow branches, which are only found in the Yunshang Mountains. Golden eggs and green willows must be Qingluan...... No, no, is it hiding from some danger? Otherwise, it wouldn't have inhabited this desert where birds don't, and it wouldn't have disguised itself as a low-class bustard!"
