Chapter 60: Powerful Five Senses

Xu Mo left Huai City and went all the way to the southwest.

He killed someone, fearing that the police would arrest him, and that the 'lady' men would find him, so he did not dare to take a ride, stay away from pedestrians, avoid the city, and do not dare to go to the village.

He spent the night lodging in the countryside, picking up the deserted paths in the countryside, looking for something to eat in the wilderness when he was hungry, and drinking water from rivers, streams, rainwater, or morning dew from the leaves of the trees when he was thirsty.

He has mastered static breathing, and the energy consumption of his body is much lower than that of ordinary people, and he can support it for a long time by eating a little food, so he doesn't have to worry about eating at all.

The only thing that bothered him was the problem of drinking water, and he often walked on the road for days without finding a river, and the dew collected from the leaves was not enough to drink. Fortunately, he picked up a gourd in the field and hollowed it out to hold water to drink, which solved the problem.

At this time, it was just the fourth month of the lunar calendar, and the dew was heavy in the early morning, and the temperature difference between day and night was large, but Xu Mojing had already breathed well, and he didn't have to worry about getting sick when he stayed in the wild.

In addition to being desolate, he was also proud: I don't interfere with the nature of this heaven and earth, and this heaven and earth will naturally not affect me.

Xu Mo was alone in the wilderness, his mind became calmer day by day, and coupled with the control of his body by still breathing, his five senses gradually became more sensitive. Compared with ordinary people, he can hear and see more clearly, and his body touch is more accurate in judging the change of time and temperature, and in the clear air, he can even smell the faint smell of dust floating in the air.

The only regret is that as his palate grows stronger, it becomes more and more difficult to swallow when eating.

He gathered wild fruits in the wilderness, and the wild fruits were either sour or astringent, and he could barely tolerate them when his taste was similar to that of ordinary people. It's just that at this time, with the change of mood and the effect of static breathing, his sense of taste is more powerful than that of ordinary people, how much more than ten times?

Because of this, the sour or astringent taste of the wild fruit was more than ten times sour or astringent than ordinary people's feelings.

He couldn't bear it, and it occurred to him that one day, my sense of taste would be controlled like blood circulation and energy consumption in my body.

When I eat, I leave the taste I want, get rid of the taste I don't want, and in a wild fruit, I can taste the taste of beef. No, it's not just beef, I want it to taste like it's what it tastes like.

This is just an idea, and for the time being, he doesn't know how to solve it.

The farther he went, the hotter the weather became, the humidity in the air increased, the rains became more frequent, and the plants in the wilderness gradually changed.

On this day, he walked into a mountainous area, and that day suddenly turned cloudy, and it rained, and the rain became heavier and heavier.

The rain ran down the leaves of the plantain tree and into his neck, and he looked up at the sky, which was gray and full of dark clouds. The cool breeze blew all the rain in the air on his face. Feeling the faint coolness brought by the rain and cool breeze, not only did he have no worries in his heart, but he was very comfortable, and he couldn't help but laugh.

In a blink of an eye, he saw a cave, Xu Mo didn't think about it, so he ran over and hid in the cave to take shelter from the rain and rest. The cave said it was a cave, but it wasn't, but the mountain wall was recessed into a large piece, and it looked like a cave.

Xu Mo avoided the rain, but came out again, picked up a pile of dry firewood, made a fire in the cave, took off his wet clothes, and set up a rack on the fire to roast. But he ran out of the cave and took a cold shower in the rain.

The sound of the wind accompanied by the sound of the rain, mixed with the chirping of some birds and insects in the mountains, Xu Mo released his ear power, calmed down, listened carefully, and in this chaotic sound, he still made a trace of abnormal sound, as if something was coming in this direction.

Xu Mo's heart moved, and then he held his breath, the blood circulation and his own heartbeat also stopped instantly, and without the interference of his own factors, the sound he heard was clearer.

The voice came from the front left, the voice was very soft, and the distance between the jumping and Xu Mo was getting closer and closer. Xu Mo looked in a blink of an eye, through the layers of mist, and found a hare in the grass.

When he saw this hare, he couldn't help but rejoice: there was something delicious now.

But the hare also spotted him, and stopped where he was, not daring to come for a moment. Xu Mo closed his eyes and held his breath and heartbeat.

Near the cave was the hare nest, so it didn't leave, and glanced at Xu Mo a few times, but didn't feel the slightest breath, just thought he was a dead man. Over time, I finally got the courage to come.

Xu Mo listened to the sound it made when it came, and when it passed by him, he suddenly stretched out his hand and held it down, when the hare was alert, it was early and late, where could he escape?

Xu Mo took out the dagger, killed it in the rain, washed and peeled it off, returned to the cave, set up a shelf, and roasted it on the fire to eat.

Between the roasting, the aroma of the rabbit meat after it was cooked gradually emanated, wafting in the air, Xu Mo suddenly stretched out his nose, smelled in the air, and then walked out of the cave, relying on the smell, found several plants at the entrance of the cave, and pulled out a few of each.

These plants have a pungent smell, and each of them alone is extremely unpleasant, but when several are mixed together, the taste is different, and then mixed with the aroma of rabbit meat, it is an unusual aroma.

It's just that these flavors are mixed together, and when they are in the air, they are mixed, and the taste is extremely light, far less than the smell it emits itself, if it weren't for Xu Mo's strong sense of smell at this time, it would be impossible to distinguish this extremely light aroma from those more intense flavors.

He put these plants with a pungent smell in the fire, and when they were roasted by the fire, the pungent smell became stronger and stronger, Xu Mo's sense of smell was sensitive, and his feeling for that pungent smell was ten times better than that of ordinary people, and he couldn't help but reach out and fan the wind in front of his nose again and again, and sneeze out several times.

Later, he could not bear it anymore, so he came out of the cave again in the rain, stretched out his nose and sniffed in the air, and finally found a few more leaves with a strange smell, and he returned to the cave, and stuffed them into his nostrils.

The smell of the pungent smell of the plant in the fire reached his nose, mixed with the smell of a few leaves with the strange smell, but it became a strange fragrance, and after smelling it, he felt that his whole body was indescribably comfortable.

He didn't know the plants, and he didn't know what they were called, but with his ability to recognize smells, he could do so easily.

He himself didn't know that this practice was actually in line with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and the combination of ingredients in cooking.

As far as traditional Chinese medicine is concerned, the effect of each drug itself is usually not very large, and even some alone have no effect at all, but when combined with other drugs, the monarch and the minister can often cure the stubborn disease.

The same is true for cooking, when cooking, using only one condiment is generally not too tasty, but the combination of several condiments can turn an ordinary dish into a delicious dish.

Of course, Xu Mo doesn't know how to use traditional Chinese medicine, and he can't even cook well, but he relies on his strong sense of smell to find its most original existence from several different smells, and in this point alone, it is much stronger than ordinary Chinese medicine or cabinets.

After all, whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or cooking, it depends on the understanding of the medicine itself or the ingredients and condiments themselves, and he himself does not have such a nuanced experience of whether it is medicine or ingredients.

When the rabbit meat was cooked, Xu Mo took it off the stand, sniffed it gently, the unusual aroma stimulated his nose, and instantly entered his body, only feeling that the whole body was comfortable, and the whole body seemed to be moaning comfortably.

He had been walking in the wilderness for more than a month, and had been feeding on wild fruits, so his sense of food was even stronger, and the smell of it alone made his saliva come out and his stomach rumble.

He didn't care that the rabbit meat was hot, opened his mouth wide, and bit it, the rabbit meat was a little hot, not completely cooked, and a little hard. However, the unique aroma formed by the combination of several flavors completely hides this deficiency.

Xu Mo took the rabbit meat in his mouth, and before he could chew it, the taste that went straight to the depths of his soul stimulated his taste buds, so that he finally couldn't help moaning comfortably, and he couldn't even chew it, so he swallowed it in his stomach.

This time he can suffer a lot, his sense of touch is strong, and he is also far better than ordinary people, the hot and hot rabbit meat fell into his stomach, and he frowned again and again, and moaned a few times in pain.

But then, he was thrilled by the feeling brought by this wilderness and primitive life, but full of fun, and he laughed excitedly.

He took out the gourd, drank a few sips of water, and then began to eat rabbit meat again, but this time, he didn't dare to eat so urgently.

After eating the rabbit meat, the rain also stopped, and it was getting late, so Xu Mo slept in the cave all night.

Wake up the next morning and start again. Further on, it was still a mountainous area, and he walked for several days without getting out of the road. It seems to be in the middle of a huge mountainous area.

He didn't know what kind of place this was, and he didn't know how big the mountainous area was. But when he walked in from the outside, he also knew that there was no one within a radius of one or two hundred miles.

On this day, he walked into a valley, which was low-lying, surrounded by high mountains, with steep peaks, but the scenery in the valley was very beautiful, with birds singing and flowers, wild fruit trees everywhere, and a small stream flowing down from the top of the mountain, and the stream was clear, and it flowed into the valley, forming a small lake.

At last he stopped going and settled in this valley.
