Ou Na found some plastic food packaging bags, and with the sensitivity of her nose, she was convinced that these things were originally holding delicious food. ⊥ the top novel, she can even imagine the taste and texture of the food by the smell of guò, and can determine that the food is meat, most likely poultry.

Ou Na, who has this special ability, is very puzzled, and she doesn't know where Zhou Shu hid the food.

There are still a few things that have not been thrown away from the carriage at the moment. For example, forage for horses, carrying food and some corn kernels for cooking in the field, as well as clothing and some sundries.

Ou Na has checked all these things, mainly to check if there are any strange bugs that have been drilled in. There are a lot of poisonous insects and poisonous snakes in the south-central part of the East Country, and they must be carefully inspected and dried, and if they are bitten by these things, they can basically wait for death. While bugs and other poisons don't kill a healthy person, they can cause swelling and ulceration of people's skin, leading to high fever and other dangerous conditions.

Ou Na was sure that she hadn't missed anything when she checked it, and Zhou Shu didn't seem to be hiding anything. Where was the food that smelled delicious, and was there anything left?

I woke up early in the morning, and a carload of people was busy making breakfast. Tracea, who had just joined, waved her hands energetically, "I'm going to pick up firewood! I'm going to fetch water! I'm going to hunt a rabbit!"

"It will take you a long time to do this alone!" Zhou Shu lowered the head of the energetic Traceka, "You go get some dry branches, and I'll get water." Rabbits don't need to talk. ”

Traceska seems to be a guy who especially likes to help people. Except for taking the initiative to help Zhou Shu restore peace to his little brother last night, it seems that he plans to arrange breakfast for four people early in the morning.

Zhou Shu traveled with Ou Na and Qixi, and also experienced the pain of a few days of picnic.

He used to eat dried fruits and other portable foods when he went out, and he would also eat some food replenished from first-world supermarkets, and he had almost no experience of making food on the march.

Last night. Tracea screamed hungry. Zhou Shu was helpless, he didn't bother to get up and didn't want to disturb Que Xi and Ou Na, so he casually changed the almonds and took a few braised chicken legs out. Zhou Shu was puzzled as to why this small and slender girl had such a large amount of food, and could only attribute it to the other one in her stomach.

He carried the jug. I went to the lake where I bathed last night to get water, and by the way, I changed a few fish as a dish.

Picnicking is really a very painful thing to have to endure with the kind of food that is just boiled and eaten. Going out is no better than going to a barbecue with simmered meat, and travelers are forced to accept the natural taste of the ingredients. For example, corn kernels boiled in water are basically the same as boiling corn in hot water.

Zhou Shu has been hunting wild meat for three consecutive days while drawing water. Picnics are meant to be done in places where there is a water source, but water sources are not often available, so it is more precious to carry food, and it is only last night that new friends were welcome to join and eat it.

The fish has been cleaned by Zhou Shu, and others are lazy. Cut off the head of the fish, break the belly of the fish, take out the intestines and throw it away, and it is over. If you get a hand of fish oil, you will slowly dry it with the conjured fire, pour the water from the jar and wash it under the tree, and make a bag of leaves from the fish, and it will be over.

It took some time to toss this pass, after all, there are seven or eight fish, and Zhou Shu's work is not very fast. When he returned, he saw the carriage overturned on the side of the road. Ouna lay weakly on the road, her sword falling to the side. Sparrow and Triska were kneeling beside her, shaking her nervously.

"What the hell is wrong?"

Zhou Shu hurriedly ran over, and Traceska was lying at Ouna's feet, taking off her boots and licking her ankles. He thought it was a bit scary, so he took a closer look and made sure that Triska was helping Ouna suck the poison, and that the unlucky bastard had been bitten by a snake.

A black bear just appeared on the side of the road. The American black bear, which is not very large, but is very bold to run and attack the girls in the carriage. Ou Na took the initiative to attack as a swordsman, but she didn't suffer at all, and hit the bear in the face with her sword. Drove it away.

The American black bear is a relatively small bear, because of its small size, it has a better brain, knows that it can't be beaten and runs, and will not be stupid to fight with people to the death.

Ouna fought with the bear all the way, the carriage was overturned, and the frightened horse almost ran away, and finally after the victory, Ouna lay on her back on the roadside field, she was tired and needed to rest. As a result, when she was lying down, she frightened a passing snake, and the snake was very angry and bit her ankle.

Then Ouna rolled around the snake around her ankles, and it took a lot of effort to rip it off. As a hunter, Triska is very responsible for saying that the snake is poisonous, and Ou Na, who feels the swelling and fever of her ankles, can also be sure of this.

"Someone has to suck the drugs out, I'll help you! ”

Traceska said this, honestly gnawed it with her mouth, and was pushed away by Zhou Shu as soon as she sucked out the first mouthful of blood.

"You're stupid, you're stupid, don't you pull the child in your belly?"

Zhou Shu asked Quexi to drive her away and help Ou Na clean her wounds by herself. In fact, he can give this guy a candy to eat, Tracey stuck on the side and said that this poison is not so terrible, and if you don't swallow it in your stomach, your mouth will be uncomfortable for a few days. If you don't suck it, the bite will die, and the blood won't flow.

Sure that this thing was not too poisonous, Zhou Shu decided to come by himself. Ou Na is very grateful to Zhou Shu and Triska, it is the first time she has been done to do such a thing, and she always feels a little awkward. However, she has a wealth of experience in being insulted, and she does not feel embarrassed. But she really wanted to say, 'My own ankle, I can suck it myself, I don't need your help.'" Obviously, if she said this, it would definitely ruin the atmosphere of mutual help that was currently brought by Triss Cascade, so she decided to endure it.

After getting it done, Zhou Shu gave himself and Triska a candy each. When he sucked halfway, he felt that his tongue was a little uncomfortable, and in order not to delay eating these days, he chose to treat it-

Traceska seemed to be very dedicated, and walked for two more days with the map covered, one day getting lost, and one day correcting mistakes and returning to normal, and the original trio joined Traceka was already more familiar.

She is a rather cheerful and not bad-hearted. And especially enthusiastic girls. It seems that the enthusiasm is overdone.

After Ou Na was injured, although she was not very strict, she was weak and ran to the car to sit and rest. The job of driving the car was volunteered by Triska, and during the break, she also took the initiative to take care of Ou Na, serving tea and water, and asking for warmth, just like serving creditors.

"You don't have to take care of me like that. I'm fine. ”

Ouna sat in the car, rubbing her feet. Her ankles were always itchy, and she wanted to rub them from time to time, and if she hadn't felt that it was unsightly to rub there with her bare feet in the driver's seat, she would have gone back to catch the car. She didn't want a pregnant woman to sit there every day, and she should lie down when she was pregnant.

Triska smiled and said that she likes to help others, "If you want to live, you have to help each other." That's what she said.

Ouna didn't understand her behavior and hobby, but since she liked it, Ouna didn't object.

"Then go pick some berries for me. She pointed to the grove by the side of the road.

Tracesca receives the request. Cousin Xiàn looked very happy, and ran to the woods very quickly.

Quexi looked at Ou Na, frowned and reproached, "You shouldn't call a pregnant person!"

Ouna shrugged, "I just want to figure out what the hell she wants to do." Do you really think I want to eat the berries? I'll give you all when she gets them!"

Sparrow doesn't quite understand Traceska's hobby either.

"I wondered why she was always so eager to help others, like ...... It's like ......"

Zhou Shu sighed and said the word that Quexi didn't remember. "Like repaying the favor?"

"Yes, Mr. Missionary, you think it's strange, don't you?"

"Of course. Zhou Shu continued to sigh. "Have you forgotten what I did when I first met her?" she smiled and said she wanted to help me, and I would see her naked and a little excited. ”

"Hmm. I know, but you shouldn't have given her that the first time you met. Quexi had some complaints about Zhou Shu's behavior, but she wasn't prepared to intervene.

Zhou Shu smiled bitterly, "This kind of thing is not so easy to control." Besides, didn't you sleep with the king on the first day you met him, Your Royal Highness? I thought you could understand me. ”

"What!?" Qixi was poked angrily by Zhou Shu's words, "How can His Majesty the King be compared with you, even if you are a seafarer, you have to be more thoughtful when you speak, otherwise it will be easy to get into trouble!"

"What's the difference? It's not all men. Anyway, I was invited by someone else, Tricka. Your king doesn't seem to be as good as me. ”

Sparrow knew that the person in front of her had no ill will, but that didn't stop her from hating it.

"His Majesty the King is in charge of the country, so that the country is in order and not invaded by enemy countries. It was he who protected the civilians, and I, as a civilian, naturally need to be grateful. Since His Majesty the King likes me and proposes to me, of course I must agree. ”

"Thanksgiving......" Zhou Shu pointed with his chin to Tryska on the other side of the grove, "This guy seems to have been grateful, just like you treat your King Xià." So she took the initiative to have sex with me, just like you and your king. Well, this logic should be correct. ”

Quexi is a serious person, she can feel that Zhou Shu actually meant a little bit of a joke when she said this, but she just wanted to seriously refute this joke.

"I don't think you understood me, missionary. I'm saying that you can't be compared to the king. Whatever you want to say, I advise you not to compare yourself with His Majesty the King. ”

Zhou Shu nodded, "Okay, since you don't want to listen to me say this, then I promise you." ”

He was a little curious now, although he had heard that the king had a very high approval rating among the common people, but now it seemed to be more exaggerated than the rumors. So he asked Fincy why he liked the king so much.

"In my country, uh, I mean I know of some countries, the rulers of the country are often scolded, and I can't quite understand how you like your king. Can you explain what good things your kings have done?"

"Rulers who do not do well will naturally be scolded, and good will naturally be maintained. Que Xi said this, and gave a few examples to tell Zhou Shu how wise and powerful her king was.

Those examples are basically disaster relief deeds, and the country of the east is full of disasters, droughts, plagues, tornadoes, and so on. The king was always able to mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources to rescue in time. Make sure the losses are minimized.

"Your king can't even find anyone, how can he mobilize and rescue?"

"There is a patron saint who tells him about these calamities, so that he can deal with government affairs. ”

"Is the Patronus really that omnipotent?"

"Of course!"

Zhou Shu was very glad that the king's exploits in Quexi's mouth had nothing to do with war, and were a matter of rescue rather than killing. It seems that she also knows that taking the initiative to invade and start a war and kill people is not something to show off.

Religion was at its most powerful. is a means of explaining the world. Questions such as "what happens when a person dies", "why there is lightning", "why an earthquake destroyed my house and not his" can all be explained in the form of religion.

After death, people will go to heaven and hell, lightning is the wrath of God, and people's houses do not collapse because they usually do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

Today, with the continuous development and improvement of the cognitive process of natural science, this interpretation has been replaced by 'science', and religion no longer explains the world, but has become the sustenance of the soul.

'There are gods watching over me, so I can't do bad things. This is what religion is currently bringing to humanity. Religions are evolving, and the fundamentalists of the major religions are arguably preventing this development.

Here in the west of the birds. Religion explains a few things very well. 'Why was the king able to juggle government affairs while traveling?' because of the help of the patron saint.

What an explanation that's easy for lazy people to accept. ”

Zhou Shu is lazy, but his head is very diligent. He was troubled by the situation in which Sparrow was so convinced, and deification was a necessary step for him to conquer the world, which now seemed very difficult. Religious problems all over the world are difficult to solve, mainly because it is difficult for believers and non-believers to understand each other, and there is always one side of the spectrum that is more extreme.

Quexi listened to Zhou Shu's complaints, and put on an expression of 'I really can't understand you'.

"So be it. When we get to the next city, you and I will go and ask the inhabitants of the city. See how the third party responds. ”

"I don't think it's necessary, though. But it's okay......" Zhou Shu smiled and glanced at the somewhat stubborn Quexi, and then jumped out of the carriage to find Triska. "I'll rush her, or she'll pluck all the berries in the woods!"

Due to the increase in the number of travelers, and the two-day delay in getting out of the road, Ou Na was a little short of food prepared.

"Did I eat too much?" Traceka looked at the pocket of corn kernels, deflated. Very worried about what to do with the rations for these two days.

Zhou Shu patted her head and comforted: "You can eat as much as you want, it's okay." The rest should make it to the next town. ”

"I can hold on. Ou Na was worried, "But I have to save some food, and I can only reach two-thirds of what I used to be." I guess everyone will go hungry. ”

Master Zhou is not worried about this problem at all, but he must show that he is very worried.

"Well, isn't half of it bad for Tracea's health? after all, it's seven months ......."

"I'm fine. Traceska said.

"What can I do then?" asked Sparrow.

Zhou Shu spread his hands, "That's it, I'll give some of my share, I'm in good health, it's okay to eat less." You can also catch some small animals to satisfy your hunger, I'm very good at these. ”

Que Xi and Ou Na nodded, but they agreed with the first half of Zhou Shutiyì.

"Let's give some of our rations to Triska, and they must both be fed. ”

Traceska heard that she was the only one who could eat for the next two days, so she quickly waved her hand and refused. "It's not good!

"Help each other, remember?" you often say. Ou Na smiled and settled the matter, without saying anything at all.

In the days that followed, no one starved, and the group of four always found some cute animals to kill and eat.

Zhou Shu didn't hunt his own summons by himself, but released the animals and let them circle around his carriage, and finally got killed.

Otherwise, they would have made a bunch of birds, fought over the wagon, and ended up both falling.

Ouna and Triska, who are in charge of cooking, find that the animals' fur is soft and clean, almost like pets. You must know that almost all wild animals have scars and some marks of being bitten by parasites, and these stupid animals have none of them.

In addition to this, the intestines of these animals are very clean. Nothing. There are no grains in the intestines of birds, and no grass roots in the intestines of rabbits.

"It's terrible, it's terrible, I don't dare eat these things!!"

Born as an Orion, she has been accustomed to hunting small animals and then making them delicious and eating them since she was a child.

Now these clean anomalies have suddenly appeared. The animal that had no trace of life made her feel weird, and the whole person was trembling with fear over there.

"What's that, maybe it's a clean animal. Ou Na didn't think much about this, "The world is so big, maybe the animals here just like to keep themselves clean and beautiful." ”

She knew that this explanation was rather nonsense, but she couldn't think of another explanation. These captured animals are as if they have never eaten in their entire lives, and they have nothing in their intestines. No animal can go without food, so she doesn't know how to explain the current situation.

In the face of what is not clear, the function of religion to explain the world is once again manifested.

"It must have been given to us by God. Ouna said casually. "Your Patronus knows you've got a baby, so he asks the animals to come and make up for you. By the way, what's your Patronus?"

Triska replied weakly, "It's the god of Orion." "The Orion God of the East Country is a scorpion, but it should be dead, in the midst of a battle with the enemy.

Zhou Shu didn't think too much about messing around before, so he brought his own animals to fight for tooth sacrifices, which also caused a controversy.

He's not Triska's patron saint, of course. I don't think that kind of thing can help Traceka like he does. Ouna's blind break convinces the incomprehensible Sparrow and Triska, and the two are full of gratitude. Cooked meat is eaten into the stomach, and the body is replenished.

His Majesty the King left the cemetery city and headed west to a city called 'Shunfeng', and if the sea was not lost, he would have to enter the sea any further. In the past, the city was sent to some merchant ships, hence the name 'Shunfeng'.

Secretary Zhou's word 'Buenos Aires' means tailwind. It is similar to Shuncheng at this time. Due to the disappearance of the sea, Shuncheng also faced various problems, and it was much stricter than that of Cemetery City.

The group was still some way from the city, and had to make a stop in the town they were passing through due to supply problems.

Clearsky Town. It's a veritable town, built on a somewhat desolate water source, under clear skies. As a town around Shuncheng, this place has naturally become desolate. Fortunately, there is still some land suitable for planting to feed the townspeople, who are already small.

"Great! Finally a town!"

Fincy stretched her stiff muscles in the saddle, she had been sitting here for days, and she thought she would be sitting and jolting like this for the rest of her life. That was simply the most cruel punishment.

"There's no Traveler's Guild in this town, so we'll have to live in a wagon. ”

"Uh, forgot about it. I thought I would finally be able to sleep on a roof this time. ”

Ou Na said that in order to let Zhou Shu pay for everyone to live in the hotel. Sparrow simply didn't hear it at all, and the expectation was full of frustration.

"Stay at the hotel tonight, take a shower, have a big meal. ”

Zhou Shu, as the only man here, also took on the responsibility of inviting guests to dinner, and then had to pay to open a house. Traveling with a girl, this kind of thing is a must. But after the opening, he probably won't be able to do it.

He didn't have the heart to do that with Traceska again, he regretted what had happened before, and he was also worried about poking other people's babies in the head. The lower limit has been refreshed, which does not mean that he can't make up for it, and he is working in this direction now.

The group arrived in the town at noon, and the people of the town were very excited when they saw the carriage of the merchant coming. Seeing that these people didn't bring any goods, the excitement dissipated.

Zhou Shu understands the mood of these people, probably similar to the feeling of sitting at home waiting for the parcel to be delivered.

Without passing traveling merchants, there would be problems with the exchange of goods in this town. Maybe it's okay to sell things, but without the gadgets brought by the merchant, life is inevitably a lot more boring. Zhou Shu didn't care what their mood was, so he grabbed a random person, gave him a bag of peanuts, and asked where there was a safe inn to live in, preferably with hot water and a bath tub. And it's the shop that's responsible for providing hot water.

Zhou Shu now feels that he can't smell it again, but this time he doesn't want a polite and heroic woman to appear in his bath......, he is sure that he doesn't need help!
