141 The Taste of the Mountain God
The old turtle was a little embarrassed and coughed twice, "Then this ...... You'll have to keep this secret for me, the old turtle. ”
Tu Ran smiled playfully and turned around to leave the cave with chubby.
Tu Ran found the orchard he encountered when he came over.
There were many kinds of fruit in this orchard, fruit from the trees, fruit hanging from the vines, fruit rolling on the ground, and fruit that needed to be dug up in the soil, some of which she had seen, most of which she had not.
When Chubby saw the various fruits in front of him, the pinch of orange feathers on his head curled up, and he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Wow, a lot of them are chubby."
"The fruit you don't like to eat must be so bad that it tastes bad." Tu Ran said
Chubby smiled embarrassedly, "It seems to be eh." ”
"Boss, let's pick some of each, and we'll take them back for Grandpa Turtle to taste."
"Whatever you want."
"Okay, yes, yes, the boss agreed!" Immediately it ran on its short legs towards the fruit trees that it could reach.
Looking at its cheerful back, Tu Ran reminded: "Pick every one, you will definitely not be able to take it back once, you may have to run a few more times." ”
"It's okay, Chubby is a hard-working Chubby."
Not far from the old turtle's cave, Tu Ran sat on one of the tallest fruit trees, and he could see Chubby carrying fruits back and forth throughout the whole process.
She plucked three red melons that had knotted on the tree and threw them down from the tree, while she sat on the branch and ate a bunch of fruit that resembled green grapes from the vine.
I don't know what the real taste is, anyway, she imagines it as green grapes, and when you eat it, it tastes like green grapes.
Chubby carried it back and forth five times, and on the last trip, Tu Ran moved the rest back with it.
The old turtle looked at so many kinds of fruits, and sighed: "My old turtle, this mountain is really a treasure of feng shui!" ”
"yes, yes, it's a chubby dream." Chubby flapped his wings and echoed.
"Grandpa Turtle, you eat this, this melon is very sweet, very delicious, most common on your mountain."
Chubby smashed a red melon on the ground and broke it in half, walked to the shadow, and gave half to the old turtle.
The old turtle picked up the melon and nibbled on it, then ...... Spit on the ground.
"Bitter, bitter, bitter!"
It was bitter with tears in its eyes, and it spit out the melon it ate and it was not relieved.
"Huh? How can it be bitter? Fat was helpless and puzzled, lowered his head and pecked, "It's obviously sweet, so sweet, how can it be bitter?" ”
It picked up a palm-sized yellow melon again, "Grandpa Turtle eats this and presses the bitterness, this is not very sweet, not bitter, and has a lot of moisture." ”
The old turtle immediately took it and took a bite.
"Ahh It vomited repeatedly, and its face turned white.
Chubby was even more puzzled, and tasted the leftover melon eaten by the old turtle, "It's obviously not sour, it tastes delicious." ”
It looked at Tu Ran pleadingly, "Boss, the taste is exactly the same as when we ate it, why doesn't Grandpa Turtle think it can't be eaten?"
Its little brain can't figure it out.
Tu Ran sighed, because she had the Gu Eagle's "Hundred Poisons Are Not Invaded" ability, so she could eat Ma Ma Xiang.
But with the human taste system, the vast majority of food in the threshold cannot be swallowed.
This old turtle probably tastes the same as humans, so I feel that these fruits are either bitter or sour.
Tu Ran took out a glucose agent from her bag and walked over to hand it over.
"This one is sweet, break it and drink it."
The old turtle didn't dare to believe it, it was already afraid.
I haven't eaten food for thousands of years, and when I finally take a bite, it's either bitter or sour.
An old life is going to be broken here.
Trembling and trembling, it carefully broke open according to Tu Ran's instructions, and froze.
"Drink." Tu Ran to raise the volume.
If you dare to waste a piece of her kindness, she will pour it into it.
The old turtle was trembling by her roar, did not dare to resist, and poured his head into his mouth.
Sweet.
Sweet indeed.
Its brow furrowed, the sourness was masked, and it smashed its mouth to taste the long-lost taste.
"Boss, what did you give Grandpa Turtle to drink?" Chubby was curious, looking at Tu Ran.
It also wants to drink.
"The sugar water made by humans is not as delicious as the fruit, so you can eat the fruit." Tu Ran staggered its gaze and retreated into the hole.
"Oh, okay." Chubby obviously didn't believe her words, but he didn't dare to chase her anymore.
"Grandpa Turtle, are you feeling better? You are not going to taste this little fruit anymore, this fruit is the fruit that has been eaten so sweet that you have eaten it. ”
"No, no, no, no," the old glans shook faster than a rattle, "Fat Fat eat it yourself, grandpa looks fat and eats enough." ”
"Huh? Really don't eat it? Chubby regretted, "Chubby picked so much fruit." ”
The old turtle was really scared, "I really don't eat it, let's keep it for myself, it doesn't matter if I can't finish it, I can continue to eat it tomorrow." ”
"Okay then."
Chubby sat in the middle of a pile of fruits, "Actually, Chubby can eat it all." ”
Old Turtle: "Uh...... It's a blessing to be able to eat. ”
Tu Ran sat on the floor, leaning against the wall, resting with her hands around her chest and closing her eyes.
The sky outside is getting dark, and the night inside the threshold is coming.
Chubby has been eating, eating one and eating the next, the sound of chewing is endless, and from time to time, it will chat with the old turtle about some interesting things outside.
Chubby has been to many places, has seen a lot of new things, and talks about it vividly, which makes the old turtle fascinated, and he can't wait to go out and see it now.
It sighed, "If I hadn't coveted this long lifespan and didn't rush to be this mountain god, I would definitely have seen more of the world." ”
Tu Ran, who closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes, "How many mountain gods are here?" ”
The old turtle folded his hands and counted them, and then gave up, "I can't count, I can't count at all, there are too many, every mountain has a mountain god, there are at least 1,800 mountains in this world, some smaller mountains also have mountain gods, there are more small mountains, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands are possible, mountain gods are almost everywhere." ”
There are so many mountain gods, but no pioneer has ever seen them.
"Do you all sleep?"
"There's nothing else to do but sleep." The old turtle said bitterly.
"Are you going to die? What happens to this mountain when it dies? Tu Ran asked again.
The old turtle froze for a moment, then looked at her warily.
"Why do you ask this?"
"I'm curious, don't worry, what am I killing you for no reason." Tu Ran disdainful.
She is just planning for the future, in case she encounters a mountain god or something like that in the future, she will not be played around like today.
"Of course you will die, and it doesn't matter if you die, the mountain is still the mountain, the water is still the water, and the most serious result may be that the tree grows slowly, the fruit bears less, and the color of the flower becomes lighter."
