A mountain wild mouse can make the old man so excited, probably related to the "thousand grains of gold" that the old man said?

Shao Xuan didn't wait long, and quickly followed the wild mouse.

The wild mouse was very fast, but it stopped running, looked around vigilantly when it paused, and continued to run if it didn't see a threat.

Shao Xuan can only use some low trees or slightly taller grass to shield him, the plants in this area are not growing very well, and there are not many shelters that can be found, so it is a little more difficult to keep up quietly.

For Shao Xuan, even if it is more difficult, he can overcome it, and he can successfully keep up with the wild mouse, but the old man can't, the hidden technique is not as good as Shao Xuan, so he can only hang a little farther away, fortunately, he doesn't have to stare at the wild mouse, just follow Shao Xuan.

After following for about twenty minutes, the wild mouse finally stopped, Shao Xuan stood not far away and watched the wild mouse enjoy the food, turned around and waved his hand to the old man who followed behind.

Even if Shao Xuan didn't know the plant, he could be sure that it wasn't the "thousand grains of gold" that the old man said, it was just a shrub nearly a meter high, with some red fruits the size of small fingernails on it, and the target of the wild mouse was those red fruits.

Looking at the wild mouse that ate the fruit and his eyes narrowed, the old man sighed: "It's a pity. ”

However, the old man did not have much hope, he knew that "a thousand grains of gold" was not easy to find, and he had already been mentally prepared.

After the wild mouse had eaten its food, it slowly ran in other directions, still one after another, but not as fast as before.

There were some birds in the sky smaller than sparrows that flew over and pecked at the fruit.

The old man hurried up and picked up a handful before the birds had finished pecking at the fruit, and then threw them into his mouth one by one.

There was a raised stone on the ground next to it, and the old man sat there, eating the fruit. While looking around the mountain.

"Do you know this tree?" asked Shao Xuan.

"I don't know, the first time I ate it. The old man said.

Shao Xuan tugged at his lips, reached out and plucked a few fruits from the low bush and threw them into his mouth. It's a little sweet, but the taste is okay, no wonder the wild mouse is hurrying this way.

When hunting in the mountains and forests, if you see plants you don't know. Even if the fruit looks tempting, the warriors of the hunter will not touch it, unless they see other animals eating it, they try it little by little, and then decide if it can be included in the recipe. However, this old man obviously relied on his detoxification physique and ate blindly unscrupulously. Shao Xuan believed that even if he hadn't seen the scene of the wild mice and the birds, the old man would still eat them.

"Old Ju, why do you want to try all kinds of trees and flowers?" Shao Xuan asked.

"yes, poison or not. It is still a drug with great benefits, and it needs to be tried to know, and there are many more waiting to be discovered in the future. We...... A family, since the ancestors, has begun countless attempts, and the things that everyone eats and use can only be obtained through tasting and testing. Daggers, baskets, beds, mattresses, pillows, tea, wine, vinegar, sugar, oil, which of them was not tried by the ancestors?" said the old man's eyes, showing incomparable reverence. I didn't even eat the fruit, and with infinite emotion: "I am a descendant." Since you should inherit the will of your ancestors, you will be glorious through the ages!

Shao Xuan looked at the old man spitting there, impassioned, this really wants to carry forward the entrepreneurial spirit, pioneering spirit, and self-sacrifice spirit of his ancestors, and the biggest goal of this old man now is to find the "thousand grains of gold" mentioned once in the ancestors' notes before he dies.

"Even if it's just to meet each other. Also satisfied. The old man said.

Since reading the "thousand grains of gold" mentioned in the notes of the ancestors, the old man has no sleep and food, especially now that there is a drought in many places and the harvest of grain crops is poor. Nowadays, not everyone is willing to hunt, and there are many people with low ability who advocate comfort. Accustomed to digging food from the ground, not many people are willing to go to the distant mountains and forests to fight with fierce beasts, besides, there are not many beasts around many crowd gathering places now, and if you want to hunt, you have to run farther away. Moreover, the mountainous and densely forested places have been occupied by some fierce tribes, and those people are not easy to talk to, and they will start fighting if they don't get along, especially those with horns.

If more drought-tolerant food crops can be found, the current situation can be alleviated to some extent. As for Shao Xuan's prayer for rain, there are people who ask for it every year, but unfortunately they can't ask for it. When I think of this old man, I get angry, because those people still claim to be the descendants of the ancient witch clan, and they collect the money quickly, and they beg for rain to make excuses one by one, it's just a bunch of waste!

After the break, the two continued along the main route, only occasionally slipping up the hill halfway.

Two days later, there was still no trace of "a thousand grains of gold".

In the past two days, the old man was poisoned four times because he encountered unfamiliar plants, and he was poisoned four times, one of which even bled seven times, which was very scary, Shao Xuan thought that the old man was difficult to survive, but after the old man wilted for a long time, he continued to look for thousands of grains of gold.

In this regard, Shao Xuan had to sigh at the strength of the old man's drug rehabilitation system.

Many times, Shao Xuan listened to the old man's narration, occasionally said a few words, and most of the time he was just a listener. From the old man's words, Shao Xuan could deduce some things, such as that the old man was not from the tribe, but from the city under the jurisdiction of the slave owner, and the old man himself was a slave owner.

It was the first time Shao Xuan had seen such a slave owner, his previous impression of the slave owner was all that the group of people on the other side of the desert, but now it is rare to meet a slave owner from an alternative point.

"No, I'll rest for a while, you look around. The old man with a branch sat down against the mountain wall, "People are old, not as good as they were back then, I want to ...... back then"

"Don't 'think about the beginning', go to sleep quickly, get up and hurry. Shao Xuan said.

Because with this old man, Shao Xuan's footsteps slowed down a lot, and he didn't take the shortest route, after walking for two days, there was no feeling of dense surroundings at all, I don't know if I could see a little dense mountains and forests after walking for two more days at this speed.

Since he agreed to rush with the old man, Shao Xuan would not leave people behind halfway, just slow down, he was not particularly in a hurry.

In this barren place, so far, Shao Xuan has not seen a single large beast, but has seen a few human skeletons.

Glancing around, Shao Xuan recalled several useful plants that the old man introduced to him today, and if he saw it within his field of vision, Shao Xuan would also silently review it in his heart.

Just as he was thinking about it, Shao Xuan heard the sound of running. It wasn't loud, but it sounded like the rat he had stalked.

If it was just one, Shao Xuan heard the movement of several birds.

Could it be that this is a rat's nest?

Shao Xuan stood up and looked at the place where the voice came from.

Several wild mice from different directions, running in the same direction. It was not like running for his life, but more like the previous wild mouse looking for fruit, with eagerness and longing.

"Old Ju! Hey, wake up, there's something going on in Lao Ju!" Shao Xuan pushed the old man who was already asleep.

"What's wrong?" Because Shao Xuan was guarding, it was rare for the old man to fall asleep with peace of mind. Before he slept enough, he was woken up by Shao Xuan, and he was a little confused for a while.

Shao Xuan was about to follow the old man to talk about his discovery, but before he could speak, the old man had already shaken his ears and heard the movements around him. This is completely an occupational conditioning, and he also skips other sounds when he hears them, except for some specific sounds that can stimulate his nerves in the shortest time.

Trembling, the old man was so excited that he fell asleep, looked around, and the old man threw the wooden stick that was used as a crutch and climbed up the mountain wall.

The view here is not good, he has to go to a higher place to see. However, there are no stout trees around, and if you look at the surrounding terrain, the most time-saving thing is to climb the mountain wall.

"Hey, slow down. Shao Xuan was afraid that his feet would slip and fall, so he was on guard below. If the old man fell from it in excitement, he could pick up.

But the old man who was too excited couldn't care so much, and only focused on climbing up. Shao Xuan saw that he was struggling to climb, and helped him.

After climbing up, the old man's radar-like eyes swept around, and he shook his ears as he swept, probably discerning the desired sound from the surrounding noise. (To be continued......)
