Chapter Seventy-Eight: Risking Death to Get Honey
Early the next morning, Long Jing went out before dawn and hurried to Pig's house to visit his baby mount.
He climbed onto the wall and looked inside, where the big boar was sleeping in the sky, and there were two exhausted and wounded concubines lying beside him.
"I didn't even make a pig die! It seems that under the influence of this master, you are also much more civilized. ”
"Hey, get up!"
The dragon spirit threw a stone and smashed it on the belly of the big boar, and the big boar opened his eyelids and looked at the guy who disturbed his dream, turned over and continued to sleep.
The dragon spirit smashed it a few more times, all smashed on its back, tickling it didn't count, the big wild boar ignored it, and had no choice but to use a trick.
As soon as the stopper of the wine gourd was pulled out, the big wild boar immediately woke up, arched the sow beside him rudely, turned into a pug and rubbed against the wall to beg for a few sips of wine, obediently waiting for the dragon spirit's order.
The dragon spirit opened the wall and let it out, and when he saw it coming over, he covered his nose and shouted in disgust: "Why is it so dirty?" How do you do my dragon spirit's mount so dirty! ”
"Let's go, go take a shower."
He took the big wild boar to the river to wash it, and taught him another lesson: "In the future, you must bathe twice a day in the morning and evening to keep your appearance clean, understand?" ”
"Hmph." The big boar pretended to understand, and responded casually, and was immediately rewarded with a sip of wine.
The dragon spirit put the reins on it, and firmly tied a rattan saddle that had just been made last night to the pig's back, and rode it to feel it, which was really much more convenient.
His saddle was large, with front and rear bridges to hold the body in place, and a wooden pedal on each side that clinged to the pig's body.
In order to avoid being scratched by the branches, he placed two bamboo rows diagonally in front of the saddle, which can not only be used as a shield, but also not afraid of pulling, and will not block the view, the design can be described as ingenious.
"You can't always call you a big boar, I'll give you a name."
The dragon spirit sat on the saddle of the pig and thought for a while, and said, "You are so majestic, you are called ...... Well, let's call it a canopy! How's that, is the name cow or not? ”
"It doesn't matter, you can do whatever you say." The big boar snorted in agreement.
The dragon spirit rode steadily on the saddle, shook the reins and shouted, "Canopy, let's go!" ”
He rode the canopy through the jungle for a while, and when he was enough, he turned back to the village and drove the pig straight up the stone mountain.
Many villagers on the mountain road were busy, and when they saw this, they hurriedly made way for Longzi and his pigs, and they all stood on the side of the road and looked at the big wild boar curiously.
At the top of the mountain, he rode a pig around several construction sites.
The quarry has been operating normally under the leadership of the Shi family, and the daily supply of stone tools is several times that of the past, and the stone material is dozens of times more. In the past, there was basically no stone available in the Ryuzawa Department, but now there is a mountain of stones.
Progress is a bit slow on the firewood yard, and a greenhouse has just been filled. After all, cutting and transporting firewood is a long-term job, and the workload is very large, and it is already good to be able to fill a greenhouse.
A few sacrifices on the side of the Dragon Temple have not yet returned, and according to the reports of those who went to investigate, the snake taming work of the little dragon girl and them is progressing smoothly, but it will take several days.
Finally, we came to the highest brewery site, where the entire layout and construction style were designed and planned by Long Jing.
The Great Elder Shi Pan is directing the villagers to build a wall to build a house, that is, the stone wall takes a little effort, and the wooden house is already half built, and it is estimated that it will be completed in a day or two.
There are also a few temporary sheds set up on the side, which are full of wine-making materials and utensils, and the villagers keep sending things back and forth, and Nu Luo is sorting out the sundries with a group of alcoholics.
The dragon spirit rode over the pig, stopped about ten meters away from them, greeted everyone, and said, "Tiancang, oh, it's this big wild boar, it's wild and untamed, I can't get too close to you." Elder Luo, how's the preparation going? ”
Nu Luo reported with a serious expression: "According to your orders, fresh fruits, baskets, sackcloth, axes, hammers, etc., have been prepared, but the bad fruits are insufficient." ”
The most important ingredient for winemaking is bad fruit, and if there is not enough bad fruit, no matter how much fruit there is, it is useless.
The dragon sank carefully and asked, "How many?" ”
"Only one basket." Seeing that the dragon spirit's face was not good, Nu Luo hurriedly added: "I'll mobilize the villagers to find it again." ”
"But this kind of thing is hard to find, and now it is used in various collections, and you may not be able to find many outside."
The dragon spirit didn't speak, thinking in his heart: "As long as the yeast is extracted and cultivated carefully, it doesn't matter if there are bad fruits in the future." The key is that the initial step is indispensable for bad fruit, otherwise the juice cannot be fermented, and everything else will not be discussed. ”
"Well, sugar! Sugar can enhance the activity of yeast and the conversion rate of alcohol, so add sugar! But the sugar content in the fruit is fixed, where to find the extra sugar? ”
This is ancient times, it is easy and not easy to find sugar, there are many sugary things in the jungle, but it is difficult to refine sugar.
He thought hard for a long time and couldn't think of a good way, and suddenly saw a bee, suddenly noticed it, and hurriedly asked everyone: "Is there a beehive nearby?" ”
"Hive?"
Nu Luo and the others couldn't keep up with the dragon's jumping thinking, and they were stunned for a while, and a drunkard said: "I remember that there is a beehive in a mountain stream not far from the bottom of the Eagle Cliff. ”
"How big?"
"It's big, it's very big, it's bigger than our shed, and it's scary to watch."
"Ryuko, you don't need a hive to make wine, do you? Those poisonous bees are not to be messed with! ”
The dragon spirit smiled, "You're right, you need a hive to make wine." ”
"Ahh Everyone was stunned.
The natives are very brave, fighting with enemies and beasts, and they won't say anything, but let them go and poke the poisonous honeycomb, this, this, this...... Isn't this sending to death? You know, they're all naked.
"Who wants to go with me to get the hive?"
"......" Everyone bowed their heads, cowering and not daring to speak.
The dragon spirit was furious and scolded: "If you want to make good wine, but you don't want to pay, how can there be such a good thing in the world!" ”
Seeing that everyone was still silent, he said with a cold face: "I am not afraid, what are you afraid of? If you want to be an alcoholic, come with me now, cowards who don't want to take risks leave here immediately, you are not qualified to be alcoholics! ”
The natives were full of blood, and all the drunkards were provoked by him, and they all blushed and shouted, "We are not cowards! I wish to go and get the hive with the dragon! ”
Long carefully arranged for Nuluo to stay with a few women and children to continue to do things, and he took ten adult male drunkards to poke the poisonous honeycomb.
Of course, he didn't just go over and die, so he went to the village first to prepare some tools.
Ropes, long poles, torches, antidotes, a sackcloth stained with insect repellent was draped in each person, and several wooden barrels were carried for honey, and baskets of grease and resin.
Everyone rushed to the bottom of the Eagle Cliff, passed by the residence of the Mao Savage, and recruited four thick-skinned and rough Mao Savage as meat shields.
The group went around the cliff and entered a narrow mountain stream, and saw a stone beam in front of them, a large and terrifying beehive like a bunch of grapes sandwiched between the stone beam and the mountain wall, and a faint brown bee cloud could be seen floating around.
The dragon spirit sat on the pig's back, and when he saw a poisonous bee the size of half a finger lying on the flower in front of him, his eyelids jumped a few times, and he cried out bitterly in his heart: "It's so big! Made, don't say it sooner. What now? ”
