Under the dense foliage, snakes of different sizes and colors are wrapped around the trunk.

Among them, there are two fat pythons, with bright flowers, which are highly poisonous at a glance; And they have two small bags on top of their heads, and the others are not clear.

"Haven't you finished reading it yet?" Mingyi leaned on the tree and asked in a loud voice.

"I'm done." Returning the way you came, he beckoned to her in the tree, "Come down, let's go play somewhere else." ”

Mingyi quickly descended the tree without pause for a second; Ran to Zhou Ting's side and asked him, "Do you see the snake?" ”

"See, a lot."

As soon as Zhou Ting's words fell, Mingyi's face changed, and he asked suspiciously, "Are there really a lot of snakes?" ”

"Then there is a serpent-fruit tree underneath, which is only recorded in the classics; Snake fruit has a deadly lure for snakes. It is also very useful for the human body, and can maintain the tendons and veins of the dantian. ”

Mingyi's eyes flashed, but she didn't answer; Instead, he opened the handkerchief he handed over, and there were a dozen pieces of dried dried apricots baked in it. Twisted a piece and ate it, and sent another piece to his mouth.

Mingyi doesn't seem to understand, after all, he is not from this world, and there is still a gap in the culture of the other world; No matter how many books you read, you can't say that you have a thorough understanding of the world.

"Well done, the others haven't come back yet?" There were only twenty-one elite soldiers in front of him, including the captain of the elite soldiers.

Mingyi nodded repeatedly, "Then thank you in advance, Chaosheng." ”

"I think so too, and I'll see when the time comes; My people know how to work hard, and they are not afraid. ”

Zhou Ting glanced at everyone present, swept his eyes around, and said, "Go and see, see where they went, why haven't they come back." ”

"They never came back."

Dried apricots are not too expensive to eat, and it is normal that the princess will not take them out to entertain guests.

The captain of the elite soldiers replied seriously, "Hui Shizi, the digging of more than fifty years has been completed, and the remaining small ones have not been dug up." ”

"Well, the subordinates and others will go immediately."

The captain of the elite soldiers made another move, and led his elite soldiers to find someone together; For safety, they split into two teams and began to look for them in two directions.

"I'll have someone bring it when I go back." Zhou Ting smiled and agreed, watching Mingyi eat one bite after another; Powder. Tender lips. The petals open and close, the face is delicate, and the facial features seem to be a little more refined.

Mingyi nodded and walked over, sitting with him on clean clothes; I was indeed a little tired after running for most of the day, especially my feet, but my internal strength had increased slightly.

"Well, there's a big tree down there, and there are a lot of snakes hanging from it; Big and small, colorful. ”

"It's very good, if you take it out and sell it, it should be easy to sell."

"When did you put the dried fruit? How did I not know. She looked at the other's chest. The front piece, I didn't see anything there before.

The smile in Zhou Ting's eyes became softer and softer, and with a faint doting, he opened his mouth to eat; The sweet and sour taste seemed to spread into the heart, and he seemed to be inadvertently teasing: "Thank you Yiyi, it's delicious, sweet and sour." ”

Mingyi was relieved at this time, she didn't have any idea about the snake fruit, there were snakes entrenched in the tree, who knew if those fruits had been licked by the snake in advance; She couldn't eat it when she thought about it, she also admired Zhou Ting, and she could see a swarm of snakes entrenched in the trees and get snake fruits back to eat.

Mingyi's eyes were slightly sluggish, "You want it?" ”

"The cook in the house made it is not delicious because there are many apricots in the northwest every year; It's very sour, it's not easy to buy and sell, and many people make fruits for their children as snacks. The dried fruits in the house are made and eaten by the chef himself, and because he works in the house, he will give half of them to his mother. ”

"Yiyi, come and sit, let's rest for a while."

When they arrived at the ground, they found that the ground had been dug up and filled with new soil, and the elite soldiers sat on the ground to rest; Until the captain of the elite soldiers found out about the arrival of King Zhou Shizi and Cheng Mingyi, he hurriedly got up and made a move.

"Hard for what?"

And then?"

Only then did the elite soldiers realize that the two had come back at some point, and they all stood up and lined up to salute.

Mingyi looked back blankly, properly confused.

"Hungry, huh? I brought some dried fruits, ate the mats, and ate some when I went down the mountain. ”

"I've seen the prince, Cheng Xiaoniang."

Zhou Ting took out a handkerchief from his arms and looked at her with a smile.

Mingyi was still puzzled, why didn't she eat dried apricots after living in the palace for so long, it turned out to be at the princess's place.

Zhou Ting seemed to see her dislike of snakes, just smiled and followed her along the foot of the mountain; Soon re-enter the col, take a detour to find something, and gossip as you go.

Zhou Ting sat side by side with her, and at this moment, he smiled with a little apology, "Yiyi has worked hard." ”

"Done digging?" Zhou Ting asked.

Mingyi ate happily, and soon finished eating dried apricots, and there was something in her hungry belly.

Mingyi: I really appreciate it.

Facing her curious question, Zhou Ting laughed, leaned in front of her and whispered, "I brought it to you, I don't know it." ”

"You eat too."

"The chef doesn't do much, the mother doesn't like to eat sour, and the dried apricots are occasionally remembered in the storeroom, and they will be eaten and played; If you like it, I'll ask my mother to come over and give you a snack. I remember that there were not only dried fruits in the mother's storeroom, but also candied fruit made by the chef, which tasted different from the ones sold outside, and you had eaten them. ”

"It's hard for you to take me into the mountains to find treasures, or so many treasures."

"Isn't the snake fruit eaten?" Ten days and half a month, there will be more snakes at that time, right?

Zhou Ting smiled softly: "The snake fruit is not ripe yet, and now it only exudes a faint fragrance; This fragrance is very attractive to snakes, who will arrive in advance and wait for the fruit to ripen before swallowing. Snake fruits are not ripe and not delicious, they are not stupid, and there will be more and more snakes when the time comes; And snakes are not good, when it really comes time to fight, they will devour each other, and treat each other as enemies to snatch snake fruit. ”

Hurry up and pull Zhou Ting away, if she thinks about it again, she will dislike Zhou Ting.

"Who made the apricots?"

"My subordinates meet the prince, Mrs. Cheng."

"Oh." If you say it's hard, it's hard.

"I definitely want to, but I can't get it now; You have to bring your tools, the snake is afraid of sulfur and sulfur wine, go back and be ready to come back in ten days and half a month. ”

They searched for most of the day, but they couldn't find anything before they went back to join the elite soldiers.

Zhou Ting took a sack that the elite soldiers next to him had never taken away and spread it on the ground, and then took off his coat and spread it on the sack before beckoning to Mingyi.

"Bring more people here, and be prepared for more brimstone; If you can't do it, you should sprinkle the sulfur on the trees in advance, as long as it doesn't rain heavily, you should be able to avoid snakes in advance. ”

Mingyi said that she accepted them all.

"When I get back to the city, I won't bring you another roast whole lamb, and you can eat it in the evening; If there's anything else you want to eat, I'll let you send it over. Seeing that she didn't take this hard work to heart at all, Zhou Ting's heart was sour for some reason.

The second is more in place~~Good night~
