Chapter 9: Wild Fruits
The cultivation time passed quickly, and when Hua Ying opened her eyes again, the bad environment around her body still hadn't changed, there was no difference between black and white night here, if she wasn't hungry, I'm afraid she wouldn't stop.
There were still some wild fruits left in her arms, and she casually stuffed a few into her mouth to fill her stomach slightly.
After eating, Hua Ying picked up the book and continued to read it. There were so many things that she couldn't understand, so much so that she couldn't figure out whether her cultivation was effective or not.
"It seems that we have to find a way to be literate, otherwise we won't be able to continue cultivating."
Sighing regretfully, Hua Ying closed the book and stuffed it into her arms, turned to a silent thought, and the next figure came to the original cave.
The jade pendant lay intact in the distance, and after putting it away, she came to the entrance of the cave, removed the stones that were in the way, and prepared to go outside to see what was going on.
"Hey, I think I have a lot more strength."
When she moved the stone, Hua Ying obviously felt much more relaxed, which made her a little happy, and she was even more determined to continue cultivating.
"Ah, it's already dark."
Walking out of the cave, it was late at night outside, the moon was sparse, and the foot of the mountain was quiet, and occasionally the insects could be heard from the bushes.
Hua Ying couldn't help but sigh at the passage of time, she didn't expect that it was only a short time of cultivation, but a whole day had passed, no wonder she would be hungry so quickly.
The night was too dark, and she didn't dare to go out to look for wild fruits, so she simply returned to the cave.
I wanted to lie down and sleep on the spot, but the night was too cold, and Hua Ying's thin clothes couldn't help but gradually get cold when she left the house, so she had to go back to the other side with the help of Yu Pei.
As soon as it passed, Hua Ying keenly realized that something was wrong.
It's still under the starry sky, the white fog around it, half an acre of square land, everything seems to be normal, it's just ......
"How can there be a few small saplings here?"
Hua Ying rubbed her eyes and stared at the things on the land not far in front of her without blinking.
It was a few saplings, just growing a few green leaves, about half a human height, looking full of life and emitting a faint fluorescence, very spiritual.
"I remember not before."
Hua Ying remembers very clearly, when she came here a few times before, the land was obviously bare, and she also regretted why she didn't plant something on such a good land, but she didn't expect that it was just a while, and things really grew.
It is still a small sapling, as if it suddenly jumped out of the soil, and the growth is terrifying.
Hua Ying got closer and lay there curiously, observing carefully.
She was even more surprised by the fact that the saplings were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, rising taller, and in just a few moments, side branches were born, and young shoots were emerging, and the leaves were fresh and tender.
"How could such a thing happen?"
Hua Ying couldn't help but smack her tongue, such a fast growth rate was really unheard of, even the fastest growing crop she had ever seen had never had such an amazing speed.
The little saplings grew bigger and bigger, and Hua Ying couldn't take a break, as if the whole person was stuck there, and continued to observe for a long time, until a few saplings grew taller than her, and then she came back to her senses in a daze.
The more she looked at these saplings, the more familiar she became, and she always felt that she had seen them somewhere.
That's right.
"Isn't this the wild fruit tree I picked?"
The familiar shape of the leaves, as well as the green fruits that had just begun to bear fruit, were all very familiar to her.
Hua Ying thought about it seriously, the wild fruit she had eaten before, the core seemed to have been thrown here, could it be ......
A bold idea was born in the little girl's brain, and then it was out of control.
"Is it really the sapling of the wild fruit tree?"
In order to confirm her thoughts, Hua Ying sat cross-legged in front of the sapling, quietly waiting for the moment when the wild fruit ripened.
As time passed, I don't know how long it took, the fruit trees grew taller and taller, and the green fruits slowly turned red, and the faint fruity fragrance spread and filled the entire space.
Hua Ying looked at the fruit tree in front of her, which was already very tall, and at the same time felt shocked in her heart, she slowly stepped forward, carefully climbed up the tree, and picked a few fruits down.
When she took a bite, the familiar fruity aroma instantly filled her mouth, and what surprised her even more was that this fruit was not only not as sour and bitter as before, but very sweet, and the taste was even better than other fruits on the market.
You must know that this is a wild fruit in the mountains, Hua Ying can't even name it, she only knows that in the past, only when there was a famine in the village, adults would go up to the mountain to pick this wild fruit to satisfy their hunger, and no one would pick this wild fruit to eat at home on weekdays, because the taste of this fruit is really astringent, even if it is ripe, it will rarely have a sweet taste.
The half-baked ones she had picked in the mountains before had an indescribable bitter taste, and if she wasn't hungry, no one would have eaten them.
"It's so fragrant, is this still a wild fruit?" Hua Ying ate one fruit after another and muttered to herself.
The fruit was so delicious that she wasn't sure if it was the seed of the wild fruit, but if it wasn't, how could a sapling grow out of thin air on this land?
It was unbelievable at the time.
Hua Ying stood under the tree, looking up at the fruits hanging from the branches, and the taste in her heart was inexplicably complicated.
This piece of jade pendant that I picked up by chance is not only a treasure, it is simply an immortal thing, do those immortals in the storybook really exist? This jade pendant is the treasure of the immortals?
Immortals.
For Hua Ying, this is a more legendary existence than the predecessors of the Huadaomen, and the adults in the village almost did not mention it, and the only one who was willing to talk about it was the teacher invited by the village.
Whenever Mr. Teach talked about it, she and the children in the village listened to it as an interesting story, such as the immortals moving mountains, the immortals catching ghosts, and the flying of the immortals' swords, which made the children both longing and absurd.
"Are there really immortals?"
Thinking of this, Hua Ying shook her head, she couldn't figure out such a marginal thing, instead of thinking about whether the immortals existed, it was better to figure out the things in front of her first.
The growth rate of the wild fruit trees slows down as they grow, but the fruits ripen quickly, and when the first round of fruit is ripe, they fall to the ground on their own, and then they begin to bear new fruits. The new fruits are larger and more numerous, but it seems that the second round of fruits ripens a lot slower because there are too many.
By the time Hua Ying picked up all the fruits on the ground and piled them up into a small mountain, the fruits on the trees were still green, and there was no sign of ripening at all.
"It seems like growth has slowed down."
Hua Ying stood beside the mountain of fruit piles, staring blankly at a few wild fruit trees.
Although she noticed some changes in the fruit tree, she didn't think much about it, she just thought that the fruit tree was tired and wanted to rest, after all, she had never heard of anyone's fruit tree that could bear fruit all the time.
"With so many wild fruits, I won't be afraid of starvation on the next hurrie, hehe."
With so many wild fruits, Hua Ying felt extremely happy, and the whole person couldn't wait to fall asleep in the fruit pile.
