Chapter 12: The Fruit

After Lin Mo and the others left the group of girls, they wandered around for a while. Lin Mo led Lin Ling back to the wide platform www.biquge.info Lin Ling saw the man in his fifties from a distance and shouted, "Uncle, can you take us away now?"

The man saw that it was him, and pointed to the basket in front of him, motioning for Lin Mo and the two to watch. Lin Mo and the others walked in to take a look, and there was still a small half of the goods left in the two baskets that had not been sold, so Lin Mo said to the man: "Brother, you don't have to worry too much about time, it doesn't hurt if we wait." After speaking, he and Lin Ling sat down next to the man.

When the man saw that they were ready, he asked, "Have you seen anything strange?"

Lin Ling replied first: "There is a person who specializes in selling poisonous insects and reptiles in jars. ”

After hearing this, the man smiled and said, "What kind of strange thing is this? In our foggy hills, a handful of poisonous insects and reptiles are a lot of them." ”

Lin Ling's face changed slightly after hearing this, and Lin Mo was afraid that the man would continue to entangle on this topic, so he said, "What delicious melons and fruits do you have here." ”

After hearing this, the man blurted out: "Ning Xiang Guo, I don't know if you have heard of it?" It is the size of a palm, and the outer ring is wrapped in a layer of skin, and the inside is full of thick, thick, fragrant and sweet juice......

The man was about to continue, but Lin Ling interrupted him and said, "Uncle, we just ate this fragrant fruit first. Don't you say it's delicious. ”

The man stared at Lin Ling and felt a little incredulous and asked, "What did you say, you had eaten Ningxiang Fruit just now?" Lin Ling nodded at him. He continued: "You are really lucky, do you know how rare this fragrant fruit is. As he spoke, he gradually fell into his memory, but his slightly low and hoarse voice continued: "I remember when I was young, I went to pick this condensation fruit with a partner who grew up together, and at that time this fruit was not as rare as it is now, but it was also rare. Most of the fragrant fruit trees grow deep in the misty hills, near the top of the primeval dense forest. It is difficult to achieve it in normal times, but as long as you are careful, most of the time there will be no problems. But when the fragrant fruit is about to ripen, the fragrant fruit will emit bursts of strong aroma, attracting poisonous insects and reptiles from all directions to gather under the tree. In that kind of scene, you can imagine that hundreds of poisonous insects and reptiles, which were originally rivals of each other, lined up under the trees in an orderly manner, quietly absorbing the aroma of the condensed fruit. How spectacular that was. When the fruit is fully ripe and the aroma is restrained, most of these poisonous insects and reptiles will disperse, but a small number will still stay under the tree. Unlike other fruits, the fruit is ripe at the same time, and the fruit can only hang on the tree for one day after it is fully ripe. After a day, all the fruit is gone. After the condensation fruit lands, it will dissipate within an hour. Speaking of this, the man's body trembled obviously, and he calmed down before continuing: "When picking condensing fruits, it is also dangerous. Because of the peculiarity of the fruit, when picking, it is necessary to apply something called "cloud wax" on the fruit to seal the ripe fruit. This allows the fruit to be preserved for a long time, but it also increases the difficulty and time spent on picking. You can think about the scene of picking fruit on the fragrant fruit tree, and while you are picking the fragrant fruit, you have to beware of all kinds of poisonous insects and reptiles staring under the tree. Fortunately, the incense tree is tall enough, and these poisonous insects and reptiles basically never go up the tree for some reason, but just guard under the tree. But don't think you're okay if you stay in the tree all the time. There are also some crazy poisons, and when you see someone on the incense tree, you will spray venom on the tree or something, and as long as you don't die, you have to peel off your skin. And the most terrifying thing is when you go down from the tree after picking the fruit. He said in a hoarse tone: "Although we rubbed a lot of insect medicine on our bodies, we also threw a lot of them under the tree when we got off the tree. But the moment we stand under the tree, we know how terrifying the poisonous insects are, and how much they crave the fragrant fruit. Although we sealed all the fragrant fruits with cloud wax, no aroma leaked out. But it was all done under the noses of these poisonous insects and reptiles, although these poisonous insects and reptiles did not dare to push too much because of the restraint of drugs. But once the breath of the medicine weakens, or it is far away from the condensed fruit tree, these poisonous insects and reptiles will become irritable. That's what my partner is ......," he said, and he couldn't stop his emotions.

Lin Ling never thought that the fruits he had tasted before would be so difficult to pick, and he thought that the sister before gave her several condensing fruits, and he was really grateful to her. said to Lin Mo beside him: "Grandpa Mo, you said that the sister from before ......"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Mo interrupted: "It's our luck to be able to eat this condensed fragrant fruit. The girl and her people were lucky to get the fruit. ”

Lin Ling wanted to say something, but Lin Mo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young Master Ling, after walking around for so long, you are also tired, squint and rest for a while." ”

Lin Ling was helpless, so he had to pout, and he didn't turn his head and ignore Lin Mo.

Lin Mo didn't react after seeing it, but said to the man: "Brother, we're tired after walking around for a long time, so let's rest for a while, and call us when you're done." The man agreed.

Lin Mo and the others rested on the side for more than an hour.

When the man got up and looked at the remaining items in his basket, and then looked at the items in the basket of his companions next to him, he said: "The things you brought are almost sold, let's deal with the rest to the vendors in the market, and everyone should hurry back as soon as possible." With that, he packed up his things. His companions also packed up their own ways, thinking that this should be their long-established routine.

By the time they were done, the clouds on the horizon were already crimson. The man urged the crowd, "Hurry up, everyone, let's try to get back before midnight." After speaking, he looked at Lin Mo, and finally couldn't help but come over and said: "Brother, the two of you will go back to our village with me for one night, and then we will set off to Kejiazhai tomorrow, what do you think? My name is Rockfall, and we're going to have to help each other out for the next few days. ”

Lin Mo replied with a smile: "In this way, it will be tiring, and the two of us will try not to drag you back." My name is Lin Mo, and this is my young master's name Lin Ling. ”

In this way, Lin Mo followed this group of men in the misty hills and shuttled through the rugged and steep sheep intestine paths in the misty hills. Looking at the lush flowers and branches of various plants on the side of the road, the forest ridge carried by the forest desert is like being in the world of plants. When they first left that small city, Lin Ling could still insist on walking on his own, but as time went by, in order not to fall behind, Lin Mo also had to carry Lin Ling on his back.

The sound of the hurried people alarmed the creatures hidden in the depths of the plants beside the road. Most of them chose to turn around and flee to the depths, and only a few of them stayed where they were, but they also made a posture that they would be punished.

This group of people obviously had no intention of stopping, they had been running like this for nearly two hours in a row, and they still didn't look like they had any rest. Lin Mo had to sigh secretly in his heart: "The physical strength of this misty hilly person is really good. "They are not like Lin Mo, a person who cultivates star power, and can use star power to supplement themselves. They rely entirely on their own physical strength!

Yan Mo was very curious about Lin Mo's ability to keep up, after all, just from the outside, Lin Mo looked like he was much older, not to mention that Lin Mo was still carrying a Lin Ling on his back and said, "Brother Lin has good physical strength. ”

Lin Mo replied: "Brother Yan said that he laughed, you didn't look at me panting. How long will it take to reach your stockade? I'm afraid it's too far away, and my old bones won't be able to hold on. ”

Yan Yan smiled and said, "Brother Lin, don't be joking, look at your energetic appearance." I'm afraid that we're all tired and lying down, and you can still persevere. Brother, look ahead, over that peak, we can see the stockade after walking some distance. ”

Lin Mo looked forward, only to see that the front was dark, and the outline of a mountain was faintly visible. It is only the group of people who are accustomed to living here that they can discern the direction in this moonless and dark night.

"Why don't we light the torch?" Lin Ling's voice sounded suddenly at this moment. After hearing this, this large group of people actually stopped in unison, and there was a tacit understanding.

In this case, Yan Yan walked quickly in front of Lin Mo, looked at Lin Ling on Lin Mo's back, especially Lin Ling's eyes, and said to the people beside him after a while: "It didn't turn red." Everyone exhaled after hearing this, obviously nervous to the extreme.

Lin Mo saw their strange appearance and was about to ask a question, so he heard Yan Yan say to him, "Brother Lin, do you believe me?"

Lin Mo was a little confused by his abrupt question, but he didn't dare to ask at this time, so he had to answer vaguely: "Believe, of course believe." ”

"Okay, please take your young master to the end. Yan Yan said.

Lin Mo was full of doubts, looking at the people with strange expressions around him, especially seeing the way they looked at Lin Ling, was he frightened, scared, or a little worried? Lin Mo couldn't figure it out, so he could only pace to the end of the line according to what Yan Yan said.

Seeing that Lin Mo did what he said, Yan Yan exhaled slowly, looked at his companions beside him, and said to them, "Are you ready?" Everyone nodded to him.

Yan Yan looked up at the dark sky, and saw the sky behind him, and a few points of starlight were flickering by themselves. Yan Yan sighed in his heart: "It's okay, it's only in the rear." If there are all directions, I'm afraid that there will be less luck. ”

"Rear!" Iwaki shouted with a raised voice, and immediately ran forward desperately. After hearing him shout, everyone also ran forward in unison. That's more than twice as fast as before.
