Volume 1 The Wind Rises and the Clouds Chapter 89 The Spirit of Wood
Lu Yixiang took Yan Yingluo and the four sedan chair men, walked down from the mountain, harvested many precious mushrooms, the terrain here is towering, the rain is luxuriant, naturally there are many mushrooms in the hidden place, wild growth.
Among them, there are many mushrooms called Miteba, the taste is so delicious that you don't even need a heavy smell of seasoning, pour oil into the pot, stir-fry over high heat until cooked, and the taste is so vivid that people can't wait to eat the pot.
However, eating mushrooms is an extremely test of experience and courage, if a person accidentally recognizes the poisonous fungus and mixes it in, it is common to die. In addition, this kind of fungus is extremely challenging to the heat, and if it is fried half-baked, it is still easy to be poisoned.
As long as you are not greedy, you still have a chance to get your life back with herbal medicine.
However, the locals are extremely good at this delicious mouthful, and every rainy season, they go up the mountain to pick. Due to various coincidences, the people who were poisoned by the fungus stubble after stubble, and Lang Zhong, who was in charge of treatment, was busy and tired, often just snatching back the patient's life from the hands of Lord Yama, and was just about to go to the next family.
The stubborn master was stunned and tasted it again, and then he was dying again, and he was able to turn Lang Zhongqi away.
Every time the rainy season comes, the local government will order officials to set up cards at fixed locations to prevent greedy people from entering the mountains to pick, but they did not expect that such actions could not stop the people from risking death to eat mushrooms.
I would rather believe that I didn't fry the fungus, I would rather believe that the fungus was shot and spit, than believe that the fungus is poisonous, which is enough to see how much this fungus is loved.
Lu Yixiang was carrying a fat wild boar on his shoulder, and glanced at Xu Xiuzhu, who was teaching He Xu to stand on the pile, and suddenly became angry, picked up a wooden stick, and rushed up with the wild boar on his shoulder, and beat the man violently.
While fighting, he scolded: "I let you practice swords, but I didn't let you mislead people here!" ”
Xu Xiuzhu was not in a hurry to dodge, and wailed again and again, which provoked Yan Yingluo and the four palanquin men to laugh.
Lu Yixiang stared at He Xu, who was standing motionless, pacing back and forth, sighing from time to time, and shaking his head from time to time, so that He Xu, who had already decided to retreat after the meeting, became more and more sad.
Therefore, at dinner, in the face of the fragrant live roasted wild boar meat and mushroom soup, they are tasteless, and rarely use chopsticks.
In the middle of the night, He Xu's shriveled stomach screamed uncontrollably, and he suddenly regretted that he was so hypocritical and missed a major event in life, so he secretly opened his eyes and looked around, Yan Yingluo had returned to the sedan chair to rest, and the rest of the people were not far from the campfire, looking for some soft branches and leaves that had not dried up, and fell asleep.
It was Xia Ze's turn to watch the bonfire at night, but this guy drooped his head, looking like that, he slept quite soundly? He Xu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and tiptoed to the campfire, wanting to see if there would be any meat on the bone shelf, even if it was good to nibble on it twice.
As a result, the skeleton was shaved clean, and even the iron pot stewed with mushroom soup was wiped smooth and new, I don't know which gluttonous ghost it was, and he didn't even have a mouthful of soup left, which was really infuriating!
He Xu immediately lost his energy, and was about to go back to sleep when he suddenly smelled a fragrance, and he looked down to see that a bowl of rice full of wild boar slices and mushrooms was steaming.
Xia Ze had a warm smile on his face: "Eat, I saw that you were listless when you ate just now, and you didn't eat much, and I calculated that you would definitely be hungry at this time, so I left you some." ”
He Xu took two steps back, this guy's actions made him a little uncomfortable.
"That's all there is left, if you don't eat it, it will be cold, and if the fungus is cold, it is not only not delicious, but also poisonous," Xia Ze said.
He Xu then turned out to be a bowl and chopsticks, and his mood was complicated.
Xia Ze scratched the back of his head and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Xiao Hexu, I should have told you before that I would let you go back to Yunxi Town, not because I was troublesome with your little oil bottle, but because I got into a lot of trouble, and along the way, it is estimated that there will be many enemies to hunt me down..... It's inevitable that I won't be able to take care of you, and if something happens, I don't know how to explain it to your sister. ”
He Xu swallowed a mouthful of wild boar with difficulty, rolled his eyes in choking, and then asked, "What kind of enemy is it?" It can make you take care of it all. ”
Xia Ze thought about it seriously: "There are probably so many people from the two countries of Great Qi and Great Zhou combined, it may be more than that......
"But you're so powerful, you can even kill Bichuro and the fox demon, and you're still afraid of them?" He Xu put down his job.
"Someday someone will be better than me, and I'm not that good."
"And you're going to drive me back?" He Xu was a little disappointed.
Xia Ze smiled and shook his head: "No, what I promised you, I have to do it, I have to take you to find my sister." It's just that you have to keep a low profile in the future, and you can't be as ..... as before."
He Xu's nose was sour, and he cried while covering his mouth.
Xia Ze touched his head: "Someone once said to me that a gentleman is as humble as jade, as strong as iron, and if he agrees to other people's things, he will do it even if he dies!" ”
He slapped himself lightly and said with a smile: "Don't say death, it's all alive, it doesn't matter if you can't do it, there are ten steps in one thing, and you can do your best to walk eight or nine steps, which is already amazing." ”
He Xu wiped his tears: "Xia Ze is sorry, I only had my sister in my eyes before, I was afraid that you would miss my sister....."
Xia Ze clasped his hands around his chest and pretended to be angry: "What now? ”
He Xu rubbed his teary eyes and choked up; "Actually, it's not bad, if you marry my sister, I He Xu will not object."
Xia Ze raised his head, sighed deeply, and pretended to be deep: "It's a pity, I'm already a famous flower, and that girl is not small, so it's impossible in the next life, in the next life." ”
He Xu reacted, kicked him with a smile, and the two laughed together and reconciled as before.
"Grandpa, that guy has shot at us several times, and we still want to let him do this?" Li Mifang hid in the shadows, her face full of resentment.
Li Sheng shook his head, sighed and said: "That kid's cultivation is too high, even if we are reasonable, I thought that I could just help him kill the merman, and I took this opportunity to win him over, but I didn't think of doing bad things with good intentions, not only can I not do it now, but I am afraid that I will have to avoid him when we meet......"
Li Mifang was about to speak, but Li Sheng glared back at him and said a word.
"In Yuqiao Town, we used all our belongings, but we failed to kill him, and even the magic weapon that took me to the bottom of the box was robbed together, at this point on the Cangshan Mountain, there are two martial artists above the Five Realms by your side, why do you think you can kill him?"
Li Mifang was angry and speechless.
The handsome man on the side, looking at the arguing grandfather and sister, was helpless in his eyes.
On the second day, after breakfast, they went on their way. Walking down from Sanyang Mountain, you will come to the foot of Shengying Mountain, which is close to Qingshen County, and you can already see many vendors along the way, setting up stalls in the middle of the road.
Selling dates, selling food, selling cloth, the liveliness is not inferior to the downtown of Yuqiao Town, Xia Ze stops and goes, there is a vendor selling things that are very rare, it is actually a certain piece of dough made of spirit animal skin and meat, it is said that in a certain state capital outside Qingyang County, it is extremely hot.
The selling price is not low, and it costs five mangs to seed money, or to make silver in the world, that is, 50,000 taels of silver. Men and women, almost sold out.
Xia Ze looked at the crowd that surrounded the stall and sighed, most of those who bought dough were bought for their partners, as long as they attached the dough to their partners' faces, and then asked skilled painters to put the finishing touches on them, it was easy to look what kind of look they wanted.
So there are rumors that the people in that state capital, both men and women, look the same. It may not be so easy to look at each other without getting tired of it, but if you only care about that pair of skins, it is not quite right.
Xia Ze suddenly heard a miserable cry in his ears, and when he looked down, he saw that there were actually three or four green villains in the cage.
