Chapter 20: The Hungry Town (3)
Halfway up the mountain, Tianling and the others found a spacious place to sit down, looked up, the dense fog around them gradually thinned, and when they reached the top of the mountain, the dense fog would completely dissipate.
At this time, Zhao Keke was already very hungry, he was already much stronger than others, so his consumption of food was also greater.
I've only eaten one meal since yesterday, and I haven't eaten enough, plus I've climbed the mountain road for half a day today, I'm really hungry, and my stomach can't stop screaming along the way.
He was about to ask Tian Ling with a thick face, and Tian Ling took the lead in saying:
"I have four sausages here, one for each of us, but I want to tell you one thing before I eat them."
Seeing the positive look on Tianling's face, several people also sat up straight and listened to what was going on.
"I wonder if you've seen prey or beasts in this valley along the way?"
Several people frowned and thought for a while, and at the same time shook their heads, none of them saw any animal in this valley, not even a single insect, everything was bare and lifeless.
Tianling continued: "Do you remember when the village chief's son told us how they filled their stomachs? He said that although the land here does not grow food, in the valley, you can still hunt prey, and make the meat of the prey into sausages to fill your stomach.
But there is no prey in the mountains at all, because there is nothing to eat on the mountains, and there is no way for animals to survive on the mountains. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Keke couldn't help but interrupt: "But where does the meat come from to make sausages without prey?" Wait..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his face changed, and the rest of the people also shrank their necks back after hearing this, a little incredulous.
Qiqi leaned his body against Zhao Keke and asked in disbelief:
"You mean, this meat is human ......?"
"It seems that there is only one explanation, we also saw it along the way when we first came, there were originally dozens of families around, but now most of the houses are empty, only a dozen are left, of course, I also hope that my guess is wrong..."
"Gross... Vomit! Uh-huh! ”
Qiqi bent down and ran to the side and vomited wildly, waving his hand and shouting while spitting:
"Take it, take these sausages away! Get away from me! ”
Zhao Keke's face was also ugly, his throat turned a few times, and he forcibly resisted the urge to vomit.
Tianling took out two sausages and put them in front of Zhao Keke:
"If you are hungry at any time, you can eat it, only in this way can you maintain your combat effectiveness, you are the strongest among our people, and you can protect us at a critical time, don't worry too much, what kind of meat is not clear for the time being, and survival is more important than anything else, isn't it?"
After speaking, he handed Han Fu another one, Guofu hesitated for a long time, but still took it and stuffed the sausage into his pocket.
After a while, after Qiqi vomited all the sour water in his abdomen, he walked back weakly, and saw that the other three people had sausages in their hands, and they were far away and didn't want to get closer.
Now as long as she smells the sausage, she will retch again, and it is estimated that she will never touch the sausage again in her life.
After resting for a while, the group climbed up the hill again, and the road up was very difficult, the slope was so steep that sometimes the road was cut off, so they had to climb up by the dry vines on the cliffs, and from time to time gravel fell from above.
After such a toss, the consumption of several people was even greater, and by the time they were about to reach the top of the mountain, they were already exhausted.
Zhao Keke lay down on the ground and gasped and said:
"No, I'm so hungry, God, Mom, forgive me..."
Tianling also took out the sausage, broke half of it and handed it to Han Fu, seeing Guofu panting and shaking his head, Tianling frowned and ate it himself, the taste is not much different from ordinary sausages, but the meat is finer and more sour.
There are some things that you can't do without thinking too much.
While eating, Tianling suddenly smelled a fragrance, at first he thought it was the smell of sausages, but then slowly realized that it was another strange fragrance, and suddenly remembered the hint in the main quest!
(The exterior is dark purple, and the whole body emits a peculiar fragrance, which can be smelled within 10 meters.) )
Tianling stood up and looked around, and finally found a dark purple flower on a cliff overhead, the flower was divided into four petals, with a yellow core in the middle, and the flowers emitted a lilac light around them, dispersing the surrounding mist, which looked particularly bewitching and beautiful.
After measuring the height, Tianling felt that he could reach it, so he took two steps back and wanted to climb high to pick the flower, but before he could touch the purple flower after jumping, a huge force came, and the lilac light around the flower formed a light curtain, sending Tianling flying out!
Fortunately, there was no big problem, Zhao Keke also saw this scene, thinking that Tianling was not strong enough to take it off, so he tried it himself, but he was also popped away by the lilac light emitted by this flower.
"What's going on?" Zhao Keke sat up from the ground, scratched his head and asked puzzled.
"Hmph, it must be that you have suffered retribution for eating too much meat, so you can't pick this flower." Qiqi looked at Tianling with disdain and said.
"With this possibility, then the only one of us who hasn't eaten is only..."
Everyone's eyes were on Guofu, who didn't know what was going on at the same time.
"Guofu, if it's you, you should be able to pick this flower, you go and try it, be careful." Tianling admonished.
Guofu nodded, walked in front of the cliff, rushed forward with the same movement as Tianling, raised his legs to the height, stepped on the cliff in two steps, climbed high and grabbed the flower!
The lilac light that bounced everyone away, but there was no reaction in Guofu's hands.
After Guofu picked the flowers, he turned around with a smile and shook the flowers in his hand to Tianling in a show-off manner.
"Be careful, overhead!"
Tianling's pupils contracted, he shouted, and ran in the direction of Guofu.
Guofu also raised his head to look up, just now when she stepped on the wall with too much force, it shook open a large rock above, and the big stone fell from it and smashed towards Guofu's head!
