Chapter 92: Diversions 2
Five days later.
Deep in the Mostington Prairie.
When the grassland is the most beautiful season, looking down from the sky, the vast grassland is like a blue blanket made by the most delicate craftsmen, gusts of strong wind blowing, the grass has bowed its head, wave after wave of folds, like the waves, revealing the livestock distributed in it, like a variety of jewels dotted on the blanket.
On this endless grassland, a carriage moved slowly like an ant.
Gehr sat in the carriage, with the flowers and plants collected along the way in front of him, and took them in front of him one by one, took a bite lightly, chewed a few times, and a bitter grass juice with the fragrance of grass overflowed his mouth.
"Analyze the composition of the ...... After analysis, the name is unknown, and it is classified as a weed that can be eaten as food. Side effects: Can cause mild diarrhea, please name the host. ”
"Named Weed No. 57. ”
"Naming it, Weed 57 has been recorded. ”
When he was done, Gehr stuck his head out of the window and spat out the residue from his mouth. He took out a fuchsia flower from in front of him, observed it for a while, tore off a petal, carefully put it in his mouth, and began to chew.
It was sour, and the taste was okay, but it didn't take long for a paralyzing sensation to fill the mouth.
"Analyze the composition of the ...... After the analysis, the name is unknown, and it is classified as a flower, which has the effect of paralyzing nerves. Side effects: It can cause slight damage to the conduction nerve, and long-term use will cause muscle spasms, please name the host. ”
"It's named Anesthesia No. 3. ”
"Naming done. ”
After spitting out the residue, Gell picked up the water bag and rinsed his mouth before continuing his previous movements.
It wasn't until the wooden table in front of him was empty that it was over.
Once the data storage module was obtained, Gehr began this environmental recording work. This is an instinct produced by long-term training in his previous life, and a general-purpose infantry like him often needs to not only participate in battles, but also record various rapidly changing environmental biological data and feed it back to the base, so that the base can analyze it is also one of his basic jobs.
Now there was nothing else important except for rushing and practicing swords, and Gehr instinctively began this work.
For Gehr's behavior, Lukarin and Iona on the other side regarded it as his special hobby, and didn't pay much attention to it. Besides, they also gained some benefits, and now the wild fruit that they like to eat so much, which Gehr named the Blue Bird Fruit was discovered by Gehr, and this unsightly wild fruit was once eaten only by birds and beasts.
For Gehr, this kind of habitual work can also play a role in enriching the database, and it is convenient to query and call when needed in the future.
Even now he has found several plants that have good value, and when he returns to San Rotalo, he can try to plant them, which may also be a good source of money.
"My lord, this is what I collected this morning. "A bag of stuff came in through the car window, it was Clemi. After recovering from his injuries, he is now in charge of the forward guard work, and by the way, he helps Gehr collect plants that can be found everywhere in the point.
After all, this is not a peaceful place, small groups of horse thieves are a specialty of the grassland, coming and going like the wind, extremely fast, if no one rushes forward to investigate, it is not good to wait for the enemy to rush in front of you to find that it has been attacked.
In the past few days of entering the grassland, Gehr and his party have been attacked three times by small bandits, all of which have been repelled by Geer and them, and now the horse that Klemi is riding is the spoils of this kind of battle.
However, these bandits are extremely alert, and once they see that they cannot be defeated, they immediately turn around and run, and when they drill into the meadow half a man high, they will not be able to see anyone, and it is not easy to annihilate them.
What made Geer feel even more troublesome was that as they went deeper into the grassland, archers began to appear in the less popular specialties of the grassland, and the danger began to increase dramatically, although no one was injured for the time being, but the few arrows hanging on the carriage were not ornaments, reminding them of the danger of the grassland all the time.
Along the way, the carriage also passed through several wreckages of the convoy full of corpses, all of which were obviously after fierce battles, which couldn't help but make the nerves of the group a little tense.
However, the detection ability of both Gehr and the Brian brothers can be trusted, so the large bandits along the way can be avoided in advance, and the small bandits cannot threaten a group, and the security is still very high.
"Thank you. Gell took the cloth bag that Klemi had handed him, and when he looked out, he could only see the back that was already far away.
The sound of the wheels of the carriage rumbling continued to enter the carriage, and the carriage also shook rhythmically with the sound.
Although the sunlight could not reach the carriage directly, the temperature in the afternoon was still a little high, and the carriage was a little stuffy, except for Gehr who continued to do his job professionally, Lukaline and Iona were a little dizzy. Sitting outside the car and blowing the wind was a good option, but it wasn't on either of their minds.
Beauty is a very attractive resource on the grassland, a broken carriage that doesn't seem to have much oil and water, except for a few small bandits that happen to run into it, no one will come to look for trouble, but once you add two beauties, it's not the same thing, enough to attract a lot of "flies" to come and follow.
Goo!
The wheels drove past a large rock, making a loud noise, and at the same time, the body shook quite loudly, causing the three people in the car to bounce to this rhythm.
Gell still held the plant in his mouth steadily, unaffected, and Iona, who was dozing off on her side on the carriage, looked around a little sleepily, and continued to doze off in a different position. And Lucarin was not as calm as the previous two, raised her head and rubbed her temples, took out a water bag and poured a little water on a dry and hard towel, and wiped the sweat on her face with a towel, making the whole person a little refreshed.
Smelling the faint smell of her body, Lucarin's brows furrowed, and she began to complain rarely: "It's almost stinky, I washed it at the river three days ago, and if it goes on like this, everyone will be stinky." ”
"Bear with me, this is already the shortest route between water sources, just hold on for a few more days and cross the grassland. Gehr spat out the residue from his mouth and said with a smile.
"Hey, now it's all a smell of sweat when it's close. Lucarine rubbed her brows, a look of helplessness. As a pampered eldest lady, she finally has a deep understanding of the inconvenience of traveling, which is not something that can be learned from books. After more than ten years of living habits, the current situation is really a headache for her.
"Ida, how long will it take to get to the next water source?" said Gell as he knocked on the front window of the carriage and said loudly to Date outside.
"Arrived in two days and it was a small stream. Ida's voice entered the carriage with a gust of wind.
Gehr, who got the answer, shrugged at Lucarin, and couldn't help it.
"It would be nice if it rained. Lucarin leaned her head out of the window and looked at the sky, hoping to find a cloud that would bring showers, but the sky was clear, like a room that had been visited by a creditor, and the sun was empty.
In the midst of Lucarin's lamentation, the carriage traveled for another hour or so.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew towards the carriage and rushed into the carriage through the front window of the carriage, bringing a rare coolness to the carriage.
But with the gust of wind, Gehr's face suddenly changed, and the wings of his nose twitched slightly, trying to distinguish the taste inside.
After a few moments, he shouted at Ida, who was driving, "Stop, there is a smell of blood, there is a battle ahead." ”
"Is it a horse thief?" Lucarine looked at Gehr.
Iona immediately came to her senses, too.
"I guess, the smell of blood is new, but it depends on Klemmie's investigation. Gehr nodded,
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, followed by the shouts of Klemi.
"Quick, get ready for battle, the horse thief is coming towards us!"
