Chapter 243: The Green Pear Tree
At night, Sun Kang, Liu Yu, and Liang Zheng took turns to keep vigil, and when it was Liu Yu's turn, it was already late at night, and it was dark all around, and the roar of the beasts in the mountains was continuous, and the stars overhead were surrounded by a round of silver moon, and the starry sky was open, which was intoxicating.
Liu Yu threw firewood into the bonfire from time to time, and the bonfire made a "pop, pop" sound, and the flames blown by the cold wind in the mountains swayed around.
In the early morning, everyone came to the stream to freshen up, the stream is not big but the stream is very fast, clear to the bottom, Liu Yu holds the cold stream water, rinses the dry cheeks, and then takes out the silk scarf to wipe the water droplets, the cold stream water is very refreshing.
Liu Yu then took out a clear jade bottle from the storage bag, poured out a mouthful of "jade mouth gargle" and put it in his mouth, spit it into the stream after repeated agitation, and then took a few mouthfuls of clean stream water, and the bitter tongue became refreshing.
"Jade Mouth Rinse" is an extremely popular spiritual liquid, made from a mixture of jasmine, mint leaves, sea salt, Yipin spiritual water, etc., and the price of a bottle is ten low-grade spirit stones.
"Senior brother, the porridge is almost ready!" He Anqing squatted beside the bonfire, looking at a steaming pot on the bonfire.
"The fire hasn't come yet, wait a minute. Sun Kang took out some salt and sprinkled it into the pot, stirring it with a jade spoon as he replied.
"Okay!" He Anqing said with a sigh.
His eyes stared at the churning red date and lily porridge in the pot, like a gluttonous cat, and he almost licked his tongue.
A quarter of an hour later, Sun Kang scooped a spoonful of hot porridge into the bowl, handed it to He Anqing, who had been watching beside him, and said, "Come and taste the saltiness!"
He Anqing hurriedly took the blue and white jade bowl, blew on it and took a big sip, it was so hot that he stuck out his little tongue, and after relieving himself, he exclaimed: "Senior Brother Sun, it's so delicious!"
"Sister Lan, Brother Liang come over and drink porridge, and the tent will be collected later. He Anqing shouted while holding the bowl.
"Senior Brother Xie!" Liu Yu took the bowl of hot porridge handed over by Sun Kang and said.
Sun Kang served everyone a bowl of red date and lily porridge, and the five of them sat down around an iron pot and began to enjoy the hot red date and lily porridge.
The porridge is boiled just right, not thick or thin, the porridge soup is crystal red, the porridge surface is floating with huge red dates, pieces of snow-white lily slices, extremely eye-catching, drink a sweet and moist, sweet and delicious, dispel the cold of the whole body.
"It's great that Senior Brother Sun followed you into the mountain, it used to be a bitter thing to follow someone!" He Anqing filled another bowl, glanced at Liang Zheng beside him and said dissatisfiedly.
Liang Zheng picked up the jade bowl in his hand, drank the porridge in the bowl with a grunt, pretended not to hear, and got up to serve another bowl.
"You know how to eat!" He Anqing glared at Liang Zheng and scolded.
"Qing'er, I'll learn from Senior Brother Sun in the future, it's all right!" Liang Zheng said with a wry smile.
"That's pretty much it!" He Anqing snorted lightly, then licked his lips and asked, "Senior Brother Sun, is that eagle down there!"
"It's okay, take it out now, just eat hot porridge, and it can also relieve greasy!" Sun Kang looked at He Anqing's impatience and chuckled.
Sun Kang first took the pot from the shelf, removed the charcoal fire that was close to extinguishing, took out a dagger to dig up the scorched earth, took out a bag of "hard mud", and carefully crushed it, and at the end of the pot, a lotus fragrance spread, revealing the smooth and tender eagle meat inside.
With a "grunt", He Anqing looked at Liu Yu and smiled awkwardly.
Sun Kang peeled off the blackened lotus leaves, took out the whole mountain eagle and put it on the prepared plate, and used chopsticks to open the eagle's belly.
Suddenly there was a burst of hot air, and the thick aroma spread, it turned out that Sun Kang stuffed a ball of spiritual rice in the eagle's belly, which was exuding a hot aroma at this time, and the rice grains inhaled the oil juice, and the grains were crystal clear, bright yellow, which was extremely attractive.
"Senior Brother Xie!" Fang Lanlan said as she followed the bowl that Sun Kang handed over. In the bowl is a fat eagle leg, most of which is "eagle oil spiritual rice".
"Senior Brother Sun, leave me some. He Anqing handed the bowl to Sun Kang and said pitifully.
There was not much rice wrapped in the eagle's belly, and the rest was given to He Anqing, Sun Kang ripped off another eagle leg by the way and put it in the bowl, He Anqing hurriedly took the jade bowl, took a bite of "Eagle Oil Spiritual Rice", and kept chanting Sun Kang's goodness.
How big can a mountain eagle be, Liu Yu only got a small piece of meat and an eagle head connected to the neck, after a night of roasting, the eagle meat is tender and smooth, and there is a fragrance of lotus leaves, which is indeed extremely delicious. Liu Yu thought that he would catch a few more mountain eagles at night, and he also wanted to taste the taste of "Eagle Oil Spiritual Rice".
The five of them hurried for six days in the winding, heavy rocky black and white mountains.
At noon, they rushed to the mountainside of a high mountain, and a fruitful green pear tree appeared in front of the eyes of the five people, the fist-sized green pear fruit was full of fruity fragrance, hanging all over the branches, and a lot of ripe fruits fell from the grass on the ground.
"We're not too late, the fruit is just ripe. He Anqing jumped and jumped happily.
"Senior sister, as you said. Sun Kang picked up a fruit on the ground, looked at the fresh fruit stalk and said excitedly.
"Just wait for that little thing to show up. Liang Zheng also said with a smile.
"Is this the place for Senior Sister?" asked Liu Yu curiously, walking around the huge fruit tree.
"Yes, it's this fruit tree, Senior Brother Liu, it's up to you next. He Anqing took over and said.
"Senior Sister He, don't worry, junior brother will do his best!" Liu Yu replied.
"This time, Senior Brother Liu came with him, as long as the green spirit bird appeared again, it would be nine out of ten. Sun Kang patted Liu Yu's shoulder and smiled.
Sun Kang's words, Fang Lanlan and the three of them also nodded in agreement, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, they had seen Liu Yu's terrifying sword speed with their own eyes, and they were extremely confident in Liu Yu.
"This pear is ripe, it's quite sweet. Liang Zheng jumped on the fruit tree and picked a green pear fruit, wiped it on his clothes, and said after taking a bite.
"Quick, pick one for me. When He Anqing heard this, he immediately became interested.
Liang Zheng picked several in a row, jumped down and distributed them to Liu Yu and others, Fang Lanlan took out a porcelain basin, and took out a jade bottle and poured clean water for everyone to clean, but He Anqing on the side had already taken several bites, and was eating with relish, Fang Lanlan couldn't help but shake her head when she saw it.
Liu Yu took the cleaned green pear from Fang Lanlan, took a bite, the skin was thin, the meat was crispy, juicy, sweet, slightly sour, extremely refreshing, really good.
The five of them camped on a huge oak tree not far above the green pear tree, and did not set up a conspicuous tent, and chose to light a fire at night by a waterhole far away, while Liu Yu kept squatting on the oak tree, paying attention to the movement around the green pear tree.
The next few days were like this, Liu Yu squatted alone, and the other people searched for elixir in the mountains not far away, and it was not a matter for them to stay by the green pear tree, and they didn't know when the green spirit bird would appear, so it would not delay the work, not to mention that they really gained a lot of elixir.
Among them, the most valuable is a four-hundred-year-old mountain ginseng that Fang Lanlan picked, which is worth more than a thousand low-grade spirit stones, which makes several people extremely excited, which can be regarded as a good omen.
