Chapter 216: Honey
Looking at the green bamboo forest in front of them, everyone planned to camp here and spend the night.
Several people went their separate ways, Wang Quanquan and Park Wen were in charge of eating, and Yan Rongrong and Moon Cake were in charge of firewood.
Originally, Wang Quanquan wanted Ah Cha to help collect firewood, but thinking of the other party's strange and unpredictable skills, he didn't need to feel blind again.
So he asked the other party to catch the cunning bamboo rat, he picked up the hoe and was responsible for digging bamboo shoots, as for Park Wen, it was what he could get.
Wang Quanquan digs bamboo shoots, luck is the majority, now it is autumn, I have only heard of spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots, but autumn bamboo shoots are rarely mentioned, the reason is because of the general taste, like this kind of bamboo shoots, it is more tendons and less meat, so Wang Quanquan did not have much hope.
After looking for a while, I found a few that were okay, and it was better than nothing, so Wang Quanquan still raised his hoe and gouged them out, but it was not realistic for a group of five people to point to these bamboo shoots, so I still pinned my hopes on the other two.
Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Wang Quanquan returned to the carriage with the only three bamboo shoots.
At the carriage, Ah Cha was already waiting here, and a simple bamboo cage was placed at his feet, and four or five fat bamboo rats hissed in it, and some were still gnawing on the bamboo cage.
Wang Quanquan stepped forward with a smile and wanted to say a few words, after the professor of moon cakes in the past few days, Ah Cha has learned some basic words, but he is not fluent enough, and some polysemous words cannot be understood for a while, so sometimes he can't help but talk about chickens and ducks.
"Ah Cha girl, you caught all this?"
The girl on the other side who was half covered by her hair nodded.
"Have you ever seen a water source along the way?"
The girl shook her head again.
Wang Quanquan knew that the other party was a person who did not like words, so he did not bother, and planned to find a water source himself.
Just as he was about to leave, Yan Rongrong and the moon cake came back from the east, holding a bundle of dried bamboo branches in their arms.
Mooncakes obviously saw bamboo rats for the first time, and as soon as they came back, they squatted in front of the bamboo cage and teased them, which they liked very much.
When she learned that this was most likely tonight's dinner, the little girl's face instantly became uncomfortable, but after all, she was a big child, and she accepted it after a psychological struggle.
However, the price is that the royal authority dug back those bamboo shoots, and none of them fell into the stomach of the bamboo rat, and the little girl called it "the last full meal before death".
Wang Quanquan felt that it was a waste, and maybe before the bamboo shoots could be digested, a few fat bamboo rats were disemboweled, but when he saw the little girl's expression, he didn't say anything.
Just when Wang Quanquan was about to go out to find a water source, he saw Park Wen coming back from the west.
Pu Wen carried a bamboo pole on his shoulder, and the end of the bamboo pole was a yellow thing, and Wang Quanquan couldn't see it clearly, but he saw that the other party was holding something in his hand at this time.
"See what I found?"
Park Wen came to the front and inserted the bamboo pole on his shoulder directly into the ground, and everyone saw that the thing on the top of the bamboo pole was actually a beehive.
The beehive can be the size of three fists, and a piece of it has been cut off with a sharp blade, apparently this is what Park Wen ate just now.
The three women were all happy when they saw the beehive, the little girl didn't want to eat bamboo rats in the first place, but now she can rely on honey to satisfy her hunger, and the other two remembered the delicious honey barbecue.
Only the royal authority frowned, not knowing what to think.
"Where did you get this hive?"
"Of course it's in the woods, and it took me a lot of effort to get the bees away."
Park replied proudly.
"Are there any other trees around?"
"I didn't look at it, it was all bamboo."
Park Wen still answered seriously, not noticing Wang Quanquan's strange face at all.
"Oh, don't talk about that, let's try the honey first, it's very sweet."
Park asked as he spoke, and was about to take out his dagger to split the hive, but at this moment, Wang Quanquan reached out to stop him.
"I have good news here, a bad news, which do you want to hear first?"
“……”
Park asked why the other party suddenly said this, but he still said honestly:
"Bad news."
"The bad news is that bamboo doesn't bloom."
As soon as Wang Quan's words came out, everyone was taken aback, where did the honey come from if the bamboo did not bloom, and besides, why is this bad news?
"That ......"
Park Wen, who was the first to eat a piece of the hive, obviously wanted to ask the reason, and Wang Quanquan also expected him to ask, and said directly:
"Leave that alone, the good news is that we don't have to sleep in the wild tonight, there must be people around here."
Everyone didn't ask much, among their group, they had already faintly led the way with the king's authority, Yan Rongrong's husband sang and sang with his wife, needless to say, Pu Wen and the moon cakes were on people's land, and they were also guests and hosts, and the rest of Ah Cha was still a servant in theory, and he had no right to speak.
Wang Quanquan analyzed the direction of the movement of the few people in the bamboo forest just now, and finally set the goal in the southwest direction.
A few people packed up and got back into the carriage, and Park Wen finally didn't give up the hive and took it to the carriage together.
After about a stick of incense in the southwest, a bamboo hut appeared in the sight of several people.
The rest of the people thought it was magical, but the king's authority looked like he was in his chest.
Wang Quanquan and Park Wen stepped forward to call the door, and when they passed by the door, Park Wen found several bees on a bucket at the door, in addition to some flies and ants and other insects.
In the midst of his doubts, the door opened.
The one who opened the door was an old man who was close to old age, squinting his cloudy eyes and looking at the two young people in front of him, and asked:
"What do you two do?"
The king's authority is saluted:
"This old man, I came from the capital to go to Zhongzhou, passing through here, seeing that it was getting late, I wanted to spend the night.
If it is convenient for the elderly, the younger generation is willing to give some money to express a little gratitude. ”
The old man was also a simple and hospitable master, and said directly:
"I see, there is no need for money, you don't think the house is shabby, just live there."
"Then thank you first, old man."
Kingship is another gift.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Park Wen still couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked:
"Old man, may I ask what is in this bucket at your door, and why it attracts so many bees."
While a few people were talking, there were already many bees arriving and leaving one after another.
"Oh, don't be afraid of the jokes, I'm old, I'm thirst-quenching, and this barrel is my commode."
When Pu Wen heard this, his face instantly turned pale, he glanced at the royal authority beside him, and saw that the other party was smiling at this time, obviously expecting it.
Thirst-quenching disease, that is, diabetes, bamboo does not bloom and the bamboo forest has honey, just think about it and you will know what's going on.
On the way back, Park asked with a gloomy face, he didn't expect that he was eating that thing.
The king, who had seen everything for a long time, couldn't help but comfort him:
"Being able to bend and stretch, is the eldest husband, Han Xin was humiliated by his crotch back then, so he had the later Han world, junior brother, just a little honey, just eat it."
Park Wen listened to words that didn't seem like comfort, his face finally softened a little, and he said solemnly:
"Senior brother, don't tell anyone about this."
Wang Quanquan nodded with a smile, "It should be so." ”
Not long, the five of them came to the bamboo house, and the moon cake saw the wooden barrel full of bees at the door at a glance, and after a little thought, he was immediately shocked, and looked at Park Wen with an incredulous face.
The latter obviously didn't expect the other party to be so smart, and forcibly refused to look at the other party, trying to suppress the urge to commit suicide.
