Chapter 16: Foraging
"Fatty, don't pretend, hurry up, is there any way to say it directly, we won't be able to get out if we don't find the Yuan Beast like this"
"Don't, my mom told me not to eat other people's things since I was a child!"
"Don't try to run away, you have to give me a taste of the fruit now. Quick, open your mouth, and eat one. ”
"No, I haven't seen this thing, don't try to test me for poison. I tell you, today this brotherhood is over, and I will never eat it! ”
"Please, don't waste your strength, I can detoxify you if you eat it." Just one bite, you just have to take one bite. If you don't feel right, spit it out right away, and you'll be fine. It's not in the wild, so it's not too toxic. And you can't beat me, it's better to save Yuan Li to detoxify. ”
"You! It's impossible, it's impossible for me to test the poison alone, if you want to come together, I'll eat one and you will eat another. ”
"Yes." Chang Zi'an readily agreed, let go of Yuan Hao, and handed the bunch of fruits to Yuan Hao, "I deliberately chose a fruit similar to the mulberry tree." And the trees are about the same, I've been comparing them for a long time, and there is not much difference. You just take one, and if it doesn't feel like me, you'll be treated right away. ”
Yuan Hao got up from the ground: "You said, I'll eat one, you treat me, and you eat the next?" ”
"Of course, I agreed." Chang Zi'an didn't bargain, "I have confidence in this, you can eat it if you have nothing to do." ”
Yuan Hao still took the fruit, carefully picked a small bead and threw it into his mouth: "I really don't know how you have so much self-confidence." ”
Chang Zi'an looked at Yuan Hao expectantly, and when he said it was delicious, he would go and pick some more. Yuan Hao babbled, looking fine. But soon, Yuan Hao swallowed, his body began to twitch, and he repeated the recitation: "Numb, numb, numb......"
Chang Zi'an was also surprised, this shouldn't be okay: "What's wrong?" Fatty, speak? ”
Yuan Hao still didn't react, and still repeated: "It's numb, it's numb, it's numb......"
Chang Zi'an had no choice, so he began to charge up for Yuan Hao's treatment, and it was not easy for Yuan Hao to ease up, and Chang Zi'an stopped the treatment: "Fatty, you speak, don't scare me." ”
Yuan Hao gasped weakly: "I've been talking about numbness, numbness, haven't you heard?" When I ate it, my body was numb and I couldn't move. ”
Chang Zi'an was helpless: "I thought you were too deeply poisoned and scolding, forget it, let's go, look for it again." ”
"Wait." Yuan Hao called Chang Zi'an, "You just found it for me to eat, now it's time for me to find it." Give me this. ”
After Yuan Hao finished speaking, he took out a peach-like fruit and handed it to Chang Zi'an. Chang Zi'an stared at Yuan Hao with big eyes: "Fatty, I treat you as a brother, what do you treat me for, such a big one is poisonous, won't it be over if I eat it?" ”
"Whoever told you to eat it all, just take a bite."
"That's pretty much it." Chang Zi'an took a bite, and then his stomach hurt.
"Again, it won't." Yuan Hao only cares about whether he can eat it. Chang Zi'an gritted his teeth to treat himself.
After experiencing symptoms such as vomiting, dizziness, and headaches, the two of them unanimously decided not to try.
Chang Zi'an sat on the grass with a sad face, wondering why he had tried so many things, but they were still carefully selected, and none of them could be eaten. Chang Zi'an is now a little skeptical about whether this is a garden or not, and why there is nothing to eat.
Yuan Hao tentatively said his thoughts: "Lao An, it is impossible that everything here cannot be eaten, but we all have adverse reactions, could it be because our level is too low to bear high-grade food, so this is the case?" In fact, some of them are edible? ”
Chang Zi'an agreed with this idea, but didn't want to try again: "It's possible, but let's not try the fruit, let's think of a safer way." ”
Yuan Hao looked around, thinking about what else he could eat: "Rabbit!" ”
Chang Zi'an was not excited at all: "The rabbit is not safe, in case it eats too much poisonous forage, it can resist, but we may be poisoned." ”
"No, I mean there's a rabbit in front of us."
"Hmmm! Don't chase it yet! ”
Yuan Hao shouted: "Look at me." "A hungry tiger pounced on the rabbit.
Chang Zi'an seemed to be frightened, and suddenly shouted: "Be careful! ”
Yuan Hao also reacted and covered his face with his hand, but was still kicked by a hind leg of the frightened rabbit. Yuan Hao raised his head, and the whole person lay directly on the ground. Chang Zi'an rushed over, turned Yuan Hao over, and looked carefully. Fortunately, half of my face was swollen, but it wasn't cut.
"Fatty, what a blessing. Your face is fine, it's just swollen and not disfigured. ”
Yuan Hao's words were vague, and Chang Zi'an could only barely hear clearly, "The face is fine, it's hit on the hand." ”
Chang Zi'an grabbed Yuan Hao's hand and found that it was only swollen, it was blocked by his clothes, and there were serious scratches on his sleeves, but his arms were not broken.
"It's okay, the clothes are in the way, get up."
Yuan Hao got up unwillingly, a little pity: "That rabbit is so big, the aquatic plants here are so abundant, it must not have eaten too much poisonous grass, it can definitely eat it." ”
"If we can't catch it, we can't beat it now."
Yuan Hao looked up to the sky unwillingly and sighed, and his sad voice attracted something. A black shadow rushed out from in front of them, and Yuan Hao was startled and fell to the ground on his back. The black shadow soared into the sky and landed on a tree branch not far away, still clutching something at his feet.
"Eh, bunny!" Yuan Hao shouted excitedly and stepped forward to snatch the rabbit over.
Chang Zi'an grabbed Yuan Hao: "Fat man, see clearly, this is an eagle, the rabbit can't beat it, this one will be abused." ”
Yuan Hao was still ready to move: "I'll give it a try, in case it's timid, maybe it will drop the rabbit." You see how young it is. ”
The eagle on the branch was not large, with bright feathers and a shiny beak, and at this time he tilted his head to look at the two of them, and his eyes revealed a curious look. It seemed that Yuan Hao's expression attracted it, and the little eagle straightened his head, looked at Yuan Hao, and then at the rabbit at his feet, and looked at the two repeatedly.
Yuan Hao tiptoed close to the little eagle, ready to take it by surprise. The eaglet also wanted to know what this guy was going to do, so he flapped his wings and dropped the rabbit, and Yuan Hao pounced on it again. As a result, the rabbit was still alive, fell to the ground and immediately adjusted its posture and ran away.
Yuan Hao got up with a mouth full of mud, spit out the grass in his mouth, and looked at Chang Zi'an who came over with tears in his eyes: "Lao An, the rabbits are bullying me~"
The eaglet also flew up to chase the rabbit, but as if it hadn't had enough, it turned back again. This time, he broke the rabbit's breath and threw it to Yuan Hao, and with his mouth split, he jumped left and right on the branches, staring at the two of them, for fear of missing a little detail. Joy fell from the sky, Yuan Hao grabbed the rabbit, for fear of running away again. But it soon became clear that the problem could not be handled. The rabbit that is close in the hand can know that the level is above the eighth grade, and the two ninth-grade people don't bring any sharp weapons, so it is difficult to come out of these.
"Lao An, the toolbox, the one that the old man dug for you." Yuan Hao remembered something.
"yes, I didn't even open it." Chang Zi'an opened the toolbox and poured out the contents of the box, "Little hoe, small shovel, is this a broom?" ”
When Yuan Hao saw these things, his face was full of disappointment, and he still picked up the things and wanted to break the skin, but the old man obviously didn't want the two to destroy the trees, and he didn't expect the two to use these tools to deal with rabbits, so they were all blunt instruments, and after trying for a long time, Yuan Hao used his teeth to bite his teeth, but it was obviously useless. There was no way, Yuan Hao looked at Xiaoying for help. The eaglet was already laughing at this time, no longer just jumping from side to side in a small way, but already with its mouth wide open, its wings wide open and closed, and the branches of the tree standing were also swaying up and down, and the leaves were rattling.
Understanding what Yuan Hao meant, the eaglet flew down and descended to the two of them, its wings flapping on their faces, and the feathers and the wind-blown faces hurt. Yuan Hao retracted his hand to block his face, and the little eagle took the opportunity to grab the rabbit and fly back to the branch.
The two didn't know what Kitty was going to do, so they had to look up. Kitty lowered her head to peck at the rabbit, broke open her belly, took out a string of internal organs, and nodded to the two. The two shook their heads to indicate that they didn't want the eaglet to peck at the rabbit skin again. At the end of the process, the rabbit has been skinned and eviscerated, although it does not look very good, and it has been eaten. But the two of them can't manage so much, Chang Zi'an picked a big leaf, put it on the ground, and the eaglet accurately threw the processed rabbit on the leaf, Chang Zi'an grabbed the leaf and went to the water's edge to clean the rabbit, and Yuan Hao went to pick up firewood. Kitty watched the two act separately, and didn't know who to follow, so they watched from the branches.
After disposing of the rabbit and finding enough firewood, the two found that it was not easy to do anything, and there was no fire.
"I remember there was a big stone slab on which it was supposed to be dry enough to make a fire." Yuan Hao remembered, "But where was it deliberately placed, it doesn't matter, right?" ”
"Turn it off, just wash it after eating, hurry up, I'll use the sun to make a fire, and it won't burn when it's over." Chang Zi'an also remembered and ran over directly. Kitty followed the two of them, wanting to see what was going to happen next.
Yuan Hao put down half of the firewood on the stone, made a bracket, and chose a suitable wood to put the rabbit on. Chang Zi'an summoned Fusang, and then summoned a small sun not much bigger than his thumb, gathered the sun's rays, shot a ray of sunlight towards the firewood, ignited the firewood, and then blew air under the firewood, and finally lit a fire.
In the anxious waiting and continuous turning of the two, the rabbit was already roasted, and half of one person, Yuan Hao gnawed only the bones. Although the rabbit is larger, it was processed by the eaglet, and there was not much left, and it was eaten all at once.
Yuan Hao looked in the direction where the little eagle was coming and found that the little eaglet had flown away at some point, and the two of them were all focused on the roast rabbit and didn't notice it at all.
Yuan Hao saw that the eaglet was gone, and he couldn't find any more food, looked at the remaining bones, and was ruthless, picked up a stone, smashed the bones, and sucked the bone marrow inside. Seeing this, Chang Zi'an also followed suit.
