Chapter 164 The History of Shanhui
Huang Xue hurriedly looked outside the cave, but saw that the old Shanhui walked leisurely to the entrance of the cave, and under the moonlight, an old face was carrying a strange smile, which made Huang Xue shiver immediately.
After a long time, Huang Xue remembered Lao Shanhui's words, and asked: "This ......" thought for a long time but didn't know what to call this Shanhui. Shan Hui couldn't help but answer: "My name is Shan Qiang." ”
Huang Xue hurriedly said: "Uncle Shanqiang, I don't know how you know my name?
Shan Qiang said: "Your name, of course, was told to me by Long Xuhu." As for the dragon beard tiger, of course, it's time to pay off the debt for you. ”
Huang Xue was taken aback and asked: "Uncle Shanqiang, I don't know what you mean by repaying the debt? I will do things by myself, I will repay the debt to you myself, you must not be embarrassed." ”
"Just you?" Shan Qiang looked Huang Xue up and down, and said, "You can't get water for at least ten days, what can you pay back?"
The more Huang Xue listened, the more confused she became, and said: "Uncle Shanqiang, I just ate some of your begonias, although I now also know that the begonias have some wonderful uses, but if I eat them, I don't know how to repay the debt?"
Shan Qiang still looked smiling, sighed, and said, "Okay, Long Xuhu also told us, you are passing by, you don't know anything, I'll tell you about the situation." So, Huang Xue finally knew how precious the sand begonias she had unintentionally eaten were to these mountain huns.
The island, known as the Prison Island, is less than a hundred miles from the mainland.
Shanhui is not an indigenous creature on this island, but grows on the shore of the land, feeds on wild fruits, plants and small animals, and occasionally eats some sea fish and seabirds, and lives a very comfortable life.
The so-called disaster fell from the sky, but for some reason, more than a hundred years ago, a group of extremely powerful monsters suddenly appeared on their territory. These monsters are called nephews by them, and they are extremely ferocious, especially fond of eating their Shanhui, and over the course of a few months, the number of Shanhui races has also been killed day by day.
Naturally, they couldn't stand still, and organized several confrontations with their nephews, but after all, they were not the opponents of the monsters, and they were killed by the monsters.
Shan Hui was scared, so he wanted to leave with the whole clan, but found that there were more dangerous creatures in the surrounding places, and if they left here, they were afraid that they would die faster. So, they had to give up the idea of relocating the clan and continue to find a way to confront their nephews.
As the so-called endless road, when the mountain hun was powerless to resist the invasion and encroachment of the nephew, and gradually reduced to fish meat on the chopping board, a mountain hun inadvertently picked up a begonia branch that was brought by a seabird, and there were seven or eight begonia on the branch.
The shanhui ate a begonia and found that he had gained the ability to walk on the sea. This ability is too important, Shanhui can't swim, but his nephew can't either, so this Shanhui escaped into the sea at a critical moment and escaped the pursuit of his nephew.
Soon, he discovered that the effect of one begonia was only one day, and the next day, if he wanted to walk on the sea again, he had to eat the second one.
So, after the discussion of the Shanhui people, it was decided to let this Shanhui take these sand begonias and go to the sea to find life.
After searching for less than a day on the sea, this shanhui found this prison law island, and also found three begonia trees on it. He was overjoyed, so he successively brought a lot of sand begonias, returned to the land, let his fellow clans eat those sand begonias, and the whole clan fled to the prison law island.
When they first escaped to the island, the survivors were still happy to have found such a peaceful island, but soon they realized that there was something strange about the island.
There are rivers on the island, and there are many trees, but these trees do not bear fruit, and the leaves and plants are bitter and inedible. What's even more strange is that there are no animals on the island, not even seabirds, and the only thing that can be eaten is the begonia.
There are only three begonia trees, which is not enough for hundreds of mountain hun to eat, and this begonia is so wonderful that it is only used as food, which is really a pity. To their astonishment, the mountain huns discovered that the island could not provide enough food for them to survive.
After searching for many days, they really couldn't find other islands, so the Shanhui came up with a way, which was to select some elites, eat the begonias, and then return to the land to look for food, and once they were found and chased by their nephews, they fled back to the sea.
In this way, although it was still difficult to obtain food, at least there was life, so the Shanhui clan multiplied on the island of Prison Law.
It is conceivable that in such a state of existence, food is extremely precious to the Shanhui clan, and Shatang, as the main tool for obtaining food, is a supreme treasure.
The begonia tree is very peculiar, the begonia does not fall after maturity, but continues to hang on the tree, the begonia on the tree seems to have a fixed number, until one begonia is removed, it will begin to grow the next one in that position, and it will not mature after ten years.
The ten-year cycle is not short, and if the three begonia trees want to feed the whole Shanhui family, they must be careful in their calculations. For this reason, the Shanhui people have developed many ways to save the begonia, for example, divide a begonia into many parts, and the time for each one to maintain its effectiveness is just enough for one Shanhui to go to land from Prison Law Island, so that one shanhui can provide three Shanhui to hunt on land and one back and forth.
Hearing this, Huang Xue finally realized that it was not an exaggeration to eat two catties of begonias at one time, saying that she had eaten a month's rations for the Shanhui. The Shanhui people are quite authentic, if they really want to slander her, saying that she ate other people's rations for three months, Huang Xue can't refute it.
During the day, after Huang Xue was captured by Shan Hui, the Shan Hui began to discuss how to deal with this monster.
Kill her and eat it? Although this is relieving, it can't solve any practical problems, she is so big, it's not enough for Shanhui to eat for a day. Let her go, but the Shanhui don't have that big belly.
At this time, Youshanhui remembered the dragon beard tiger, this monster and Huang Xue are in a group, and they can enter the sea. If you can enter the seawater, you can catch fish, and use the fish to pay off the debt, and the Shanhui people are naturally very happy.
Long Xuhu saw that Huang Xue was arrested and was thinking about how to rescue him, but suddenly there was a message from Shanhui, saying that he asked him to exchange fish for Huang Xue's life.
This is too easy for the dragon beard tiger, he was a professional in Shuihu Island to do this, naturally there will be no opinion, immediately dived into the sea, less than an hour, caught hundreds of catties of all kinds of fish.
The Shanhui people are crazy, they can't swim, and they can't enter the water after eating the begonia, but they love to eat fish, and they used to eat some dead fish that were washed up on the shore by the sea, and where have they seen so many live fish.
As a result, the Shan Hui immediately said that they wanted the dragon beard and tiger to catch fish for them for two months in exchange for yellow snow. One month as compensation for food, one month as punishment, and they are not greedy.
At this time, the dragon beard tiger that Shan Qiang said was paying Huang Xue offset, so he went to catch fish.
After listening to Shan Qiang's narration, Huang Xue also let go of the heart she was carrying, as long as the dragon beard and tiger were not in danger, doing some physical work was nothing.
But after worrying about the dragon and the tiger, she began to worry about herself again, so calculated, would she have to be imprisoned by these mountains for two months for so long? This time is really too long. So, as soon as she thought about it, she discussed with Shan Qiang and asked Long Xuhu to help Shan Hui catch enough fish for two months at a time, whether she could let him go in advance.
The answer is of course no, seafood things are not released, Shanhui is not like a water tiger, the wind spells they are good at have no effect on the preservation of fish, Shanhui is not stupid, they want to eat fresh.
In desperation, Huang Xue sighed, there was no imminent danger now, so she had to slowly think of other ways to get out as soon as possible.
As soon as he talked to Shanqiang, Long Xuhu came back with a large group of Shanhui, his task today has been completed, and he has caught nearly two thousand catties of fish, which is enough for Shanhui and the family to eat for a day.
When he saw Huang Xue, he was overjoyed, and he clamored for the mountain to force Huang Xue out. Now that the Shanhui clan is here, they are not afraid of Huang Xue escaping, so they removed the ban on the wind system and released Huang Xue.
When Huang Xue saw Long Xuhu, she only felt a little ashamed in her heart, speaking of which, she was taking care of Long Xuhu, but in fact, it was always Long Xuhu who was taking care of her, if it wasn't Long Xuhu who came forward to pay off her debts this time, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
When the dragon bearded tiger saw her coming, he smiled and said, "Huang Xue, now only strange fish can be eaten, can you eat it?"
Huang Xue saw that Long Xuhu didn't blame her, and she was moved in her heart, and said: "Long Xuhu, this time I was wrong, I hurt you, and you have to catch fish every day." ”
Long Xuhu shook his head indifferently and said, "It's okay, anyway, when I was on Shuihu Island before, I also caught fish every day." Huang Xue, do you think I'm good at catching fish?"
Huang Xue had been with Long Whisker Tiger for many days, so he naturally knew what he wanted to hear, smiled faintly, and asked, "I guess you must be very good at catching fish, right?"
Long Xuhu said proudly: "Of course, on Shuihu Island, I am the best at catching fish, and no one else can catch me as fast." But I ate as I caught, so I caught as many as others, and no one else knew how good I was. ”
Huang Xue exclaimed: "Wow, it's really amazing." ”
The dragon bearded tiger came over with a few strange fish as if offering treasures, and said: "Huang Xue, are you hungry, can you eat fish? Only these fish, which one can you eat?" Don't worry, there is no poison, I have eaten them all." ”
Huang Xue saw that it was the same as the old three, a chicken claw carp, a snake-headed six-legged fish, and a ten-body fish. She sighed, she ran on the sea water for a long time today, and her stomach was already drumming at this time, and the begonias she ate before were not hungry at all, but now, how can there be anything else to eat?
She said helplessly: "Whatever, which one do you like, I'll make the grilled fish." ”
This night, Huang Xue was also broken, endured nausea, and ate all kinds of strange fish, unexpectedly, the taste was more delicious than normal fish.
