Chapter 10: World First
After eating fish, the sky is already bright. Peng Lianhu led Wang Xika to continue walking into the mountains, and fully demonstrated his shooting skills with a slingshot along the way. Peng Lianhu hung the birds around his neck in a circle of straw, like a necklace.
Perhaps for someone like Peng Lianhu, it is more convenient to use a slingshot to shoot a bird than a shotgun. After all, the sound of the slingshot is small, and there is no need to maintain it at ordinary times, and there is no need to buy bullets or anything.
"Lianhu, why did you ask me to take a fork?" Wang Xika walked for a long time, and suddenly thought that Peng Lianhu let him take a fork when he went up the mountain, but it never came in handy.
"This fork is a fork tiger's. β
"Are we going to fight tigers today?" Wang Xika's voice trembledβhalf scared, half excited.
"If we don't fight, we can't beat it. But there's a fork to scare it, and you wave it and the tiger runs away. Such animals are most afraid of forks. β
"Have you ever seen a tiger?"
"I have seen it, and the small river at the mouth of the cave is the source of water on the mountain. Tigers will come running at night to drink water. β
With such a description, Wang Xijia had a sense of the picture in his mind: a tiger ran to the river to drink water under the moonlight, and the beasts surrendered, and only when the tiger finished drinking water did he dare to come over to drink water. In a cave not far away, Peng Lianhu held a fork and flicked it, and the tiger ran into the nearby bushes......
Before the crossing, Wang Xika was not even afraid of nuclear bombing, but after the crossing, he was afraid of the tiger, and he felt funny when he thought about it, and unconsciously clenched his hand with a fork.
Peng Lianhu over there didn't care about Wang Xijia's complex psychological activities at all. He suddenly jumped under a tree, dug and planed on the ground, and after a while he came over with a bunch of mushrooms in his hand and said, "Master, we are lucky to have found a happy mushroom today!
Wang Xika was taken aback: "What happy mushroom?"
"Eating this mushroom makes people happy, it makes people happier than drinking wine, and you can see beautiful women dancing in the moonlight after eating a few!
The mushrooms in Peng Lianhu's hands are colorful and poisonous at first glance. What beauty dances in the moonlight is probably an illusion caused by eating poisonous mushrooms. Wang Xijia wanted to ask Peng Lianhu to throw it away, but looking at Peng Lianhu's happy face, he couldn't bear to spoil his interest, and after thinking for a long time, he finally found a reason: "Lianhu, I forgot to tell you before, practicing martial arts, you are not allowed to eat happy mushrooms, and if you eat it, you will break your skills." β
"Oh, got it!" Seeing Peng Lianhu throw away the "happy mushroom" in his hand sullenly, Wang Xika breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, I always feel that you are lying to me, how can you have the martial arts that will break your skills by eating mushrooms?" Peng Lianhu looked very reluctant to take the mushroom.
"I didn't lie to you, this mushroom is poisonous, and the beauty you see dancing after eating it is a hallucination caused by the mushroom's toxin invading the nervous system. People who practice martial arts should keep their brains awake at all times and should not eat this mushroom. Secondly, thousands of people die every year due to mushroom poisoning, and you don't want to die of a mushroom, right?"
"What about drinking? Isn't drinking the same as eating this mushroom? I don't think you drink it every day. β
"Wine is different, wine can promote qi and blood, which is very helpful for practicing martial arts. Hey, don't talk about that, if you really want to eat that mushroom, you can eat it, I don't eat it anyway. β
"Since you said you won't eat it, you won't eat it, but the mushrooms are so delicious, I'm just a little sorry......"
"If you want to say it's delicious, I think it's still the pheasant soup you made last time, didn't you say you wanted to bring me up to catch pheasants? Why didn't you see it?"
Wang Xijia didn't want to discuss the mushroom matter with Peng Lianhu too much, so he turned the topic to pheasants.
"The pheasants are on the slope, don't worry, we will catch them when we go down the hill, so that the pheasants will not smell us." β
Wang Xijia followed Peng Lianhu forward, and after a while, he saw a small hillside, there were no tall trees, all grass and bushes, and many pheasants with long tails parked on the bushes. The sun is shining down, giving these pheasants a layer of gold, and they look as gorgeous as a phoenix.
These pheasants don't seem to be afraid of people, and they look at the two people with dull eyes, as if they are looking at their own kind. Wang Xijia thought to himself, just this kind of stupid pheasant, why do you need to talk about going up and down the mountain, if the smell is not smelly, just catch it?
Sure enough, I saw Peng Lianhu walking into the bushes and whistling, and the pheasant parked on the bushes reluctantly fluttered its wings and took off, like an office worker who heard the alarm clock ringing. Peng Lianhu caught two pheasants in mid-air in the air, just held them in his hands, and said, "Let's go, lunch is down again, but there are no mushrooms, and the taste may not be so delicious." β
A few steps further on, there was the river where the fish had been eaten in the morningβit turned out that the pheasant roost was not far from the cave. Wang Xijia suddenly had an inspiration and shouted: "I thought of it, our cave is so close to these pheasants, let's call it Phoenix Cave!"
Peng Lianhu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Whatever you want, call it Water Curtain Cave, Phoenix Cave, I have to start cooking!"
Looking at Peng Lianhu's distant back, Wang Xika muttered to himself: "Beat the roe deer and scoop the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot." Could it be that the place I crossed was the Great Northeast? Peng Lianhu and the names of these villages were Jurchens? But judging by their clothes and hairstyles, they didn't look like Jurchens, so who were they? Khitan, Jin Yan, or Su Shen? But the climate of this place is not like that of the Northeast. β
Just thinking about it, Peng Lianhu beckoned Wang Xika to come over for dinner, two pheasants, one was made into pheasant soup by Peng Lianhu, and the other was used to cook and cut into pieces. While the two were eating chicken and drinking, Wang Xika asked, "Lianhu, is it cold in our place in winter? Will it snow? What is the name of our nation?"
Peng Lianhu said: "What is a nation? We don't have snow here, if we want it to snow, we have to go to Xueshan." β
It doesn't snow, there is no national concept, but there are abundant natural resources, there are roe deer and tigers, what kind of era is this, what kind of place is this?
"Master, what do you want? Why is the wine so old, you raise fish?" Seeing that Wang Xika was in a daze again, Peng Lianhu picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Wang Xijia.
Wang Xijia took a sip, and the wine he brewed was particularly delicious. For the first time in these days, Wang Xika felt that although there was no mobile phone or Internet in ancient times, he could do sports, hunt and drink in the mountains, and he was still quite happy.
In this era, it doesn't seem to matter much whether there is money or not, for example, a person like Peng Lianhu, who has a super ability to survive in the wild, it is estimated that he can live well by hunting without a penny.
Wang Xijia suddenly thought of something and asked, "Lianhu, are there any bears on our mountain?"
Peng Lianhu said: "Why not? There is a big bear on this mountain, which likes to add claws and rub around in the trees." Generally it doesn't hurt people, but don't mess with them, if you do, you probably can't beat them. β
"And what color are our bears here?"
"There are black, there are gray, and I heard there are white. β
"Is there any bear with black and white flowers? It's that the ears and limbs are black, the eye circles are black, and then the rest of the place is white. β
"I've never seen it before. β
"Do we have bamboo on this mountain?"
"Nope. β
Wang Xijia was a little frustrated, it seems that there are no giant pandas on this mountain, and his idea of catching a panda as a pet has also failed, which means that this is not a Sichuan area.
Where did I travel to? I must find a map to take a good look at another day, but I can't care about so much at the moment, it is good to have meat to eat and wine to drink, and there is a way to have wine today and get drunk today, so why bother yourself?
The two ate meat and drank a lot, and discussed kung fu and basketball. Peng Lianhu said that he looked down on Asen's style of play, "bells and whistles like a girl", a real man should be like himself, and grab rebounds on the inside line.
Wang Xika was amused by Peng Lianhu and laughed, thinking that if in modern times, if Ah Sen specializes in basketball, with his skills, he will definitely be able to get the top salary, maybe the salary alone is enough to buy 5 Peng Lianhu.
Peng Lianhu also said that basketball is only five people, and it is not enjoyable to play, and he can't keep running with the ball, he has to run while shooting, which is too restrictive, and hopes that Wang Xika can change the rules.
Wang Xijia pondered for a while, and said: "This is not difficult, I have the kind of game you said here, 11 people on each side of the game, you can run with your hands, you can also hit people and kick the ball with your feet, wait for me to go down the mountain to teach you, this game is called rugby, it is a real man's game." β
Peng Lianhu said: "Is there a kind that doesn't use your hands, just kicks with your feet? I kick the shuttlecock very well, and I feel that my feet are more flexible than my hands." β
Wang Xika also smiled: "Yes, football is only played with the feet, also called juju, I will teach you when I go back." β
Both are excited about the new proposal, and Peng Lianhu wants to prove himself on the football field. But what Wang Xika thinks is that if a football team is formed in this era, will it be regarded as the world's No. 1 football team with the physical fitness of these ancient people who can't run to death?
Indeed, when there is only one football team in the world, that football team can be counted as the number one in the world. As long as you can win the world number one in football, then this crossing is worth it. With good wishes, Wang Xika fell asleep, and he really liked the world more and more.
