Chapter Twenty-Six: Lunch in the Woods
A burst of fragrance came to the face, and when the ginkgo fruit grew on the tree before, their aroma could attract Liu Ling in the distance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now after cutting, the aroma is even stronger.
Liu Ling didn't care about the dirty hands of his hands, and directly dug a large piece of pulp with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth.
This fruit is very chewy, but it is not as delicious as Liu Ling imagined.
Before chewing, Liu Ling could only taste the sweet and sour taste on the surface of the fruit, but after biting the flesh, Liu Ling's entire mouth was immediately full of astringency.
This feeling is like eating an unripe persimmon, and although you can smell the sweetness, when you actually put it in your mouth, you will find that it is bitter.
Although the flesh of this ginkgo fruit is astringent, Liu Linggang still can't bear to spit it out.
Because this is a kind of food, although it is a little unpalatable, but it can always fill your stomach.
Liu Ling had nothing on him now, and before he crossed over, Merry had already used the last few silver coins on his body to fare for the edge of the Kabal jungle.
Even if he wasn't in the forest, Liu Ling couldn't get food.
Money can make ghosts grind, although the Kra Continent is a continent full of magical power, but although money is not omnipotent here, it is still one of the focus of the world's contention.
The Chipton family, one of the four major families of the Moorfa Empire, is a family that has risen by commerce and has a great voice in the empire.
If he had money, Liu Ling would immediately go outside to find a tavern to eat.
But Liu Ling thought about it for a while and couldn't find a way to make money that suited him now, and the only feasible thing was to go to the nearby mercenary guild to find some tasks to do.
However, every mercenary guild is built in the city, and there are at most a few small villages around the Kabal jungle.
In order to make money, it is more than worth the loss for Liu Ling.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Liu Ling finally felt that staying in the Kabar jungle and continuing this primitive life was his best choice now.
As long as he can make it to the end of Bess City, the entire Pip family's residence there is his property.
This is also an important reason why Liu Ling wants to return to Dbes City first and then make future plans. Without money, it is difficult to move an inch on either the earth or the Kra continent, unless Liu Ling lives like a primitive person now.
However, although the ginkgo fruit was bitter at first, it turned sweet and sour again when chewed.
Therefore, Liu Ling can still tolerate the taste of this fruit, but the process of eating it is a little painful.
Bitterness and sweetness are used to describe the process of eating this kind of ginkgo fruit, and Liu Ling thinks it is very suitable.
Swallowing the last fruit in his mouth, Liu Ling's stomach was still growling.
Looking at the white fruit in front of him, an idea suddenly appeared in Liu Ling's mind.
Is it because the fruit of this ginkgo fruit is so uncomfortable to eat because it should not be eaten raw in the first place?
Liu Ling thinks this is very likely, just like a piece of meat, eating raw and eating it after it is cooked are completely two different tastes.
Why not give it a try?
So Liu Ling put aside the ginkgo fruit he was holding, separating the leaves on the ground next to him from the surrounding leaves.
Because he was afraid that when he started a fire, he would ignite the leaves next to him and cause a forest fire.
It's a sunny day, and unlike the first time Liu Ling lit a fire in the forest, the ground is full of dry leaves, and as long as it gets a little spark, it may cause an uncontrollable fire.
Liu Ling gathered all the leaves in a radius of two or three square meters in one place, but it was not enough to make a fire with the leaves.
Because the leaves are not resistant to burning, the fire can be large in an instant, but it will disappear quickly.
If you want to make your fire last, wood is essential.
There are not only fallen leaves in the forest, but also some branches that have fallen from the trees, and after a long period of exposure to the sun, they have long been very dry, which is very suitable for making fires.
However, the dead branches on the ground are still relatively small compared to the fallen leaves, and Liu Ling collected all the dead branches within dozens of meters around it, which was just enough to make a fire.
It's time to start a fire next, although Liu Ling himself can condense a flame composed of pure fire elements from the palm of his hand, but doing so is actually very energy-consuming for Liu Ling, who doesn't have a trace of mana in his body, and he doesn't want to be so troublesome.
When he came out of the bandits' stronghold before, Liu Ling took a flint in his hand, just to deal with the current situation.
In fact, Liu Ling didn't expect that in such a world full of magic, ordinary people were still using such backward fire-making methods as flint.
Liu Ling only realized this when the thieves' den asked people to look for tools to make fires.
At the beginning, Liu Ling thought that all the fires in this world were a kind of spar stored in the magic power of the fire system made by the Goblin like the Merry family.
However, it turns out that Liu Ling thinks too much, even in the magic world, ordinary people still can't afford to use all the facilities about magic, and the life they live is not much different from the life of the ancients on the earth.
The flint stone is divided into two parts, and if the stones are made of unknown composition, they will produce many sparks when they rub against each other.
Liu Ling set up the dead branches he had picked up, stuffed some fallen leaves under the dead branches, and began to rub the flint in his hand.
Originally, Liu Ling thought that it would be difficult for him to use flint for the first time, and it might be difficult to make a fire because he was not familiar with the use of flint.
But in fact, Liu Ling just gently rubbed the two flints in his hand, and a large amount of sparks fell from the middle of the two flints to the leaves.
After rubbing this way two or three times, the fallen leaves are ignited.
After the leaves fell, the fire quickly spread to the branches, and a puff of green smoke slowly drifted out of the middle of the fire.
Because the fallen leaves and dead branches are very dry, the fire will be strong after a while.
Liu Ling threw the remaining untouched white fruit into the fire, and he only moved half of the white fruit that he had cut just now, and the other half was also thrown into the fire by him.
The whole ginkgo fruit was fine, but the surface was scorched by the fire, and the half of the white fruit, probably due to the direct contact of the flesh with the flame, constantly made a "sizzling" sound under the flame.
Liu Ling believes that this should be the sound of the water in the pulp evaporating under the action of heat.
At this time, Liu Ling had nothing else to do in his hands for the time being, staring blankly at the flames in front of him, he suddenly remembered the scene when he was a child and camped with his friends around the campfire.
I wonder if my childhood friends are doing well now......
