Chapter 233: Water Cave
The fruit tree is strong and verdant, with a canopy like an umbrella, and the fruit is abundant, and the fruit is as huge as a football, similar to the baobab tree in Africa, but it is larger and taller than the baobab tree.
Wuxian climbed up the tree and threw a dough fruit down and said, "You taste it, we generally don't eat it raw, we all dry and grind it into powder as the staple food." ”
Su Qiqi held the reddish-brown dough fruit, cut it with a knife, the skin was thin, the inside was snow-white, and the fist-sized pulp was squeezed one after another, she pulled out a lump of flesh and chewed it.
Hmm~ The taste is average, a bit like expired dry bread.
Slightly dry, with a fresh scent of trees.
"Can the pulp be dried and ground into powder to make steamed buns?"
Wuxie twisted the dough and said: "It can be, but it's not chewy, it's not delicious when steamed, we all knead it into dough and bake it to eat, it tastes good." ”
Su Qiqi probably knew that baking should be similar to bread.
"Is there only one staple food in yours? Is there anything like corn here? ”
Wuxian shook his head, "There are no corn, rice, these are not there, there are two kinds of staple food, and there is a kind of sweet potato that grows underground, similar to the Great Dream Dynasty, it is very sweet, sweeter than sweet potato, but unfortunately it is very rare, it likes the tide, and only grows by the dark river." ”
Speaking of the dark river, Su Qiqi became energetic and asked: "Listen to King Hui, there is a dark river outside the palace, can you point it to me?" Where to go from? ”
Innocent looked up: "You want to dig up river potatoes?" ”
Su Qiqi: "Catch the fish, I want to make a fish skin umbrella." ”
Wuxian wiped a handful of sweat with his sleeve, shook his head lightly and persuaded: "You are now the same as when we first came, your martial arts have been lost, don't go to the dark river, there are not only quacky fish in the dark river, but also more vicious carnivorous fish."
"One of the floating fish is enough for you to drink a pot, with a big mouth and sharp teeth, and a huge body, once it is dragged into the water, it will be more than lucky."
Su Qiqi thanked him for his kindness and said, "It's okay, I'll get familiar with it first, and I don't have to go into the water."
Innocent glanced at her small body, and persuaded again, but people had to go, and insisted on going their own way.
Said helplessly: "The entrance to the dark river is directly in front of the palace, go straight for two miles, and there is a crack in the ground that can enter the dark river." You go to the back mountain to collect some resin, and then go there, there is no light in the dark river, and it is as dark as night. ”
Su Qiqi thanked him again and again, took out a meat bun from his backpack and said, "I brought it from the Great Dream Dynasty, the last one, let's give it to you as a thank you gift." ”
"Buns?" Innocent shouted, jumped off the tree, wiped the sweat stains on his hands, stared at the meat bun and swallowed saliva, hesitated for a moment, carefully took the bun and said: "A few words, the gift is too big, and it is deserved." ”
"Hey~ 1,800 years, I almost forgot what the steamed buns tasted like, it was so tempting, so I took it cheekily."
"If you don't know anything in the future, just come and ask me, and you will know everything, and you will say everything."
A few others regretted it, their intestines were repentant, and they knew that a few words could be exchanged for a meat bun, and they should have replied positively.
Wuxian sat on the ground with a bun in his hand, took a bite of the meat bun, his eyes were shining, and several people drooled around him, looking directly at the missing corner of the meat bun, squatting on the ground and moving his feet, asking, "Is it delicious?" ”
Nonsense, innocent chewed and swallowed the meat bun slowly, nodded, thought left and right, and went through a series of psychological struggles.
In the end, he broke half of the bun and handed it to a few people: "You share half of the food and taste it." ”
Five people ate a bun in small bites, and licked and licked their fingers.
At the moment when several people remembered the buns, Su Qiqi was already standing under the grease tree, scraping resin layer by layer.
After a while, a man with a night pearl on his head and several torches in his arms wandered around the gap in the dark river.
Su Qiqi lit a torch, and in the remaining space, she leaned on the top of the gap and looked down, and there was a faint sound of water flowing in her ears, and she held the torch to shine the gap.
The crack is about six or seven meters wide, and the depth is unfathomable, after all, the light of the torch is limited.
She put the torch on the ground, found a solid rock, circled the rock with iron chains, put on gloves, picked up the torch, and pulled the chain down with one hand.
The sound of the water flow is getting louder and louder, Su Qiqi touched the bottom with one foot, and carefully observed the surrounding environment as soon as he stood still, below is a water karst cave, the cave wall is pitted, the ground is thin and there is stagnant water, the strange-shaped stalactites are hanging down, and the stalagmites are lined up.
She was preoccupied with the quacks, not interested in admiring the strange scenery, listening to the direction of the sound of the water, walking briskly between the stalagmites, and marking the route with a charcoal pen in her hand.
A black shadow followed her all the way, silently passing overhead, Su Qiqi slowed down, glanced at the shadow on the ground, put away the charcoal pen, took out a small bow and crossbow from his sleeve, and stared at the shadow without blinking.
The shadow followed her footsteps, jumping on the stalactite deftly, and when it settled, Su Qiqi threw away the torch and raised his hand to shoot an arrow, and the speed of the black shadow was faster than she imagined.
With a bang, the black shadow rushed down, hit the top of her head in a flash, stretched out her small claws and grabbed the night pearl on her head, and ran away, the speed was extremely fast.
The night pearl was tied to his head, and a few strands of hair were torn off, Su Qiqi covered his head and cursed: "Where did the robbers come from, dare to rob labor and capital!" ”
It's good now, robbers meet robbers......
Su Qiqi's eyebrows were upside down, and he picked up the torch and chased after the black shadow, and the black shadow was so fast that it was holding the night pearl and guiding the direction.
One fled and one chased, one struggled to escape, and the other persevered in pursuit, chasing from the water cave to the dry cave.
The black shadow realized it later, hey~ It seems to have brought people back to the lair.
Annoyed, the black shadow jumped to the top of the cave, poked out its little head from its nest, and quietly glanced at the panting two-legged beast below.
It's so annoying, why don't I just snatch you of a shiny ball, as for it, I hold on to someone.
Su Qiqi: As for it, it's too much!! No one can rob labor and capital, not even a single hair!!
Su Qiqi blushed and had a thick neck, panting for breath at the waist, he didn't slow down for a long time, without the blessing of speed, he ran more than ten miles with pure physical strength, and he was going to die.
She pointed to the little fluffy thing and scolded: "Give it back to you, or the labor will smash your nest, burn your holes, roast your meat, and gnaw your bones." ”
The little thing looked at the hideous-looking two-legged beast, and felt inexplicably frightened, although he couldn't understand what she was muttering, but how could he feel so terrible.
It seems to have provoked the big guy! The little thing coaxed, retracted its little head, lay motionless in the nest, deceived herself, she couldn't see me, she couldn't see me.
Su Qiqi sat on the ground with his ass and took a breath, anyway, he had already arrived at the nest of the little thing, so he was in no hurry, he took his breath and slowly cleaned up.
As soon as the breath stabilized, she summoned the divine ladder, and just climbed two ladders, a shiny thing smashed over, she reached out and took it, without waiting to look carefully, 002 said in a frightening manner: "Good thing, put it away quickly."
