Chapter 331: Red Fruits Are Poisonous
The magic weapon that Ouyang Lei said in his mouth was actually the wooden fish bone pendant that Xu Heping Xu gave to Zhou Xiaolong, and then Zhou Xiaolong transferred it to Ouyang Lei.
The wooden fish bone has a certain amount of mana, if there is a yin and evil substance around, the pendant will automatically heat, and the more powerful the surrounding monsters, the more hot the wooden fish bone will be.
In this way, there is a certain protection and defense effect on the wearer.
However, this wooden fish bone is more sensitive to spirits, and Zhou Xiaolong doesn't know whether it works for the wild monkeys in this mountain.
Before Zhou Xiaolong could emphasize, Ouyang Lei, the little fat man, ran away, and Zhou Xiaolong was still a little worried about him, but now he still had work at hand, which was to help Jin Hui set up a tent, so there was no way to chase Ouyang Lei immediately.
Ouyang Lei, a little fat man, is more shrewd, and under the pretense of saying that he wants to pick up firewood, he is actually lazy.
Probably because Ouyang Lei saw Zhou Xiaolong helping to set up the tent over there, he was very tired, and Professor Cui and Gu Lili were busy cooking, which was even more boring.
Therefore, Ouyang Lei took advantage of the excuse to wander around while picking up firewood and looking at the scenery in the mountains, in fact, to be lazy.
This place is already very close to the Savage Mountain, and the guide Aza has already said that the road he has led has been explored by himself.
The road that Aza took everyone on was not only shortened, but also very remote, and almost no one walked it, so the chance of picking up that kind of lump was greatly increased.
Although it is not yet in the area where you can pick up the lumps, it is indeed a primeval forest, and the scenery is quite good when the sun sets.
No matter how bold Ouyang Lei was, he didn't dare to go far, and after a circle around the neighborhood, he almost picked up the dry firewood.
After all, there is nothing else in this mountain, and there is dry firewood.
Ouyang Lei couldn't go back so quickly, wouldn't he have to do other work, so he stopped and stopped, trying to find some wild fruits that could be eaten.
I didn't drink much water all the way, so it's good to eat a wild fruit to supplement my vitamins.
However, in this old forest of barren mountains and mountains, Ouyang Lei, who has no outdoor experience, really can't find any fruits to eat.
Just as Ouyang Lei was about to go back, he passed by a tree very casually.
The tree was thick and short, with a black trunk, the color of a crow, and a black branch with few leaves, but there were some red fruits that looked like tomatoes.
Because it is a red fruit, it looks particularly conspicuous in the forest surrounded by green.
Ouyang Lei immediately noticed those red fruits, he looked left and right, and couldn't recognize what kind of wild fruits they were, but he felt that the color was delicate and beautiful.
Ouyang Lei couldn't help but climb up the tree, so he picked five or six fruits with his hands and put them in his pocket.
In fact, there are not many such fruits on the whole tree, and there are only a dozen of them together, and Ouyang Lei picked almost half of the fruits.
This fruit is too beautiful and too brightly colored, Ouyang Lei is not sure if the red fruit is poisonous?
Because some people say that the more beautiful things are, they can't be eaten, such as poisonous mushrooms are also beautiful, so Ouyang Lei didn't pick them all, and he didn't dare to eat them.
Just like that, Ouyang Lei picked up the firewood on the ground, carried the wild fruits, and returned with the sunset.
Walking back to the camp, Ouyang Lei saw that Zhou Xiaolong was looking at him coldly, with a reproachful expression.
"Master, what's wrong?!" Ouyang Lei said timidly.
"Where have you been? What time is it? Zhou Xiaolong asked viciously.
"Isn't it just an hour?" Ouyang Lei looked at his watch.
"Pick up some firewood, can you use it for so long? Don't you know it's dangerous in the mountains?! Zhou Xiaolong said again.
"Master, don't be angry, you see I've brought you something good......" Ouyang Lei knew that Zhou Xiaolong was worried about himself, so he hurriedly smiled and said.
As he spoke, Ouyang Lei put his hand in his pocket, took out two red fruits, and held them in front of Zhou Xiaolong's eyes.
Listening to Ouyang Lei's noise, several other people also looked over, and Ouyang Lei proudly showed everyone what he had gained.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the red fruits that Ouyang Lei was holding in his hands, because the color of the fruits was too conspicuous.
Gu Lili and Professor Cui were also very happy when they saw this fruit, Gu Lili licked her lips and asked, "This fruit...... Can you eat it?! ”
Zhou Xiaolong squinted his eyes, he looked at the guide Aza, and asked, "Brother Aza, you are from the mountains, what kind of fruit is this?" ”
Aza looked at it and said that this fruit is called Lao Duck Persimmon, which is a wild fruit that can be eaten, has a sweet and delicious taste, and can also be used as a medicine to reduce inflammation and blood lipids.
When everyone heard this, they immediately grinned with joy.
Ouyang Lei said: "Since this is the case, then let's eat one by one, hurry up!" ”
As she spoke, Gu Lili reached out to grab the red fruit.
Aza sighed and said, "But ......"
Gu Lili's hand retracted suddenly, she looked at Aza and asked, "But what?!" ”
Aza frowned and said: "In our mountains, the fruit of ordinary duck persimmon is only the size of half a little finger, and most of the color is yellow-green or light red, but these picked today are not only more than twice as large, but also bright red like blood, which seems to be a bit abnormal?!" ”
Hearing Aza's words, everyone knew that the reason why he didn't let everyone eat it was because there was something strange about this red fruit.
Jin Hui has been standing behind Ouyang Lei, he has never spoken, but now, in a very positive tone, he said to everyone: "We must not eat this fruit, I am afraid that it will be poisonous......
Everyone asked why, Jin Hui didn't sell Guanzi, and said to everyone: "If my guess is correct, these red fruits should be the mutated varieties of the old duck, and they are carefully cultivated by someone, otherwise they can't grow so huge, the reason why it is bright red like blood is probably because it has sucked too much carrion as fertilizer, and I feel that there are still a lot of yin and evil qi on this fruit......
Ouyang Lei was puzzled and said, "Is it really poisonous?!" ”
Jin Hui glanced at Ouyang Lei, "It's good that you little fat man didn't eat cautiously just now, otherwise, I guess I wouldn't be able to see you now......"
Jin Hui said that the fruit was poisonous, Ouyang Lei listened to his words, was frightened, and scattered the fruit in his hand all over the ground.
Ouyang Lei believed Jin Hui's words a little, because, when he was picking fruits, his fingers felt cold when he touched them.
Could it really be the yin and evil qi, I didn't know what the reason was, but now Ouyang Lei seems to have figured it out.
However, for Jin Hui, Ouyang Lei trusted his master Zhou Xiaolong even more.
Although Jin Hui didn't seem to think much of Zhou Xiaolong, Ouyang Lei knew that Zhou Xiaolong had real skills.
So, Ouyang Lei asked Zhou Xiaolong, "Master, what do you think?!" ”
