Chapter 3 Fire Mulberry Fruit
There was indeed a hole behind him, and it was the hole that Jiang Feng climbed out of. But it wasn't a cave. Rather, it is a hole of light that appears there out of thin air. The most important thing is that the hole is slowly disappearing.
In Jiang Feng's gaze, the hole he had climbed out of had disappeared. There was no mountain in front of him, so he had no idea where he had climbed out. Looking around again, as well as the sun in the sky, Jiang Feng suddenly felt that he was very lucky. Because if he finds the hole a little later, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out.
"What the hell is this place, how is it so weird. I didn't let people live. Jiang Feng said to himself.
Anyway, you have to get out of here first. Before leaving, Jiang Feng used a few stones to make marks on the ground. And he carefully watched the scene around him, so that he could remember it.
Looking at the position of the sun in the sky, it should be noon now. Jiang Feng, who was not familiar with this place at all, could only find a direction to move forward casually. As for the extra memories in his head, he couldn't tell Jiang Feng where this was at all. Because those memories are useless.
As he walked, Jiang Feng heard the sound of water. He ran two quick steps and saw a waterhole. The sound of the water he heard was the sound of the water in the pool gushing out.
The waterhole is circular and has a diameter of five or six meters. Like the Baotu Spring that Jiang Feng had seen, there was water gushing up in the middle.
The water in the pool is not clear, and you can't see the bottom at a glance. Jiang Feng, who was originally thirsty, did not go to drink the pool water. Because he was attracted by a small tree on the edge of the waterhole.
It was a small tree that was only half a meter tall. It's like a potted plant. The little tree bore seven or eight fiery red fruits the size of a baby's fist. Jiang Feng, who was standing on the edge of the waterhole, could smell the aroma of the fruit.
Smelling the aroma, Jiang Feng felt his stomach gurgling. Some swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva involuntarily, and leaned closer to the small tree, carefully looking at the fruit on the tree.
"It's so fragrant, it shouldn't be poisonous. Jiang Feng said to himself as he reached out to pick the fruit.
I picked a fruit, wiped it with both hands indiscriminately, and opened my mouth to take a small bite. As soon as the fruit was in his mouth, Jiang Feng felt a burst of coolness, accompanied by a mouth full of fragrance. Who knew that when Lu Dao just wanted to chew, a figure appeared beside Jiang Feng. As soon as the man appeared, he stretched out his hand and hit Jiang Feng on the back of the head.
After receiving a slam blow, Jiang Feng's entire body fell forward, and the action of wanting to chew the fruit could no longer be carried out. Before he could stabilize himself, he felt the man behind him hold him down on the back of the neck, pressing him hard into the pool.
Jiang Feng, whose upper body had entered the water, struggled desperately. But the person who pressed him didn't mean to let go at all. The man just looked up at the sky with a nervous face.
Nearly a minute later, the person holding down Jiang Feng pulled Jiang Feng up. At the moment when he was pulled up, Jiang Feng, who had been struggling with his hands, grabbed something suspended in the water.
Jiang Feng, who choked on several mouthfuls of water in a row and almost suffocated, didn't have time to see what he caught. At the moment when his body broke away from the pool, he picked up the thing in his hand and hit the person behind him. The man behind him easily dodged.
He coughed violently a few times, spit out a lot of water, and the fruit he ate had already been vomited clean. Only then did Jiang Feng see clearly the person who had just attacked him. After seeing it clearly, Jiang Feng was simply furious.
"You're crazy, do you know that the road will kill people. Jiang Feng yelled at the man who attacked him.
The person who attacked Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng has seen it. It's just a woman who doesn't know how Lu Dao appeared, and I don't know how Lu Dao disappeared. Facing Jiang Feng's questioning, the woman didn't say anything. Just looking at the things in Jiang Feng's hands.
After cursing several times in a row, he didn't see the woman say anything, and Jiang Feng's anger was a little less. Only then did he realize that the woman's gaze had been looking at his hand. Following the woman's gaze, Jiang Feng saw that he was holding a small bite of the fruit in one of his hands. In the other hand, he was holding a strap. The other end on the bag is attached to an old gourd.
"Look at what to see. Do you know that Lu Dao was almost killed by you just now? You say, did you always want to kill me? Jiang Feng said loudly.
The woman retracted her gaze at this time, and said very plainly: "If I hadn't beaten out the fruit you ate in time, I'm afraid you would have died by this time." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Feng was stunned. Then he looked at the fruit that was still in his hand, and his heart suddenly cooled.
"This thing can't be poisonous, right?" Jiang Feng asked guessingly.
"Not only is it not poisonous, but it's also a good thing. But you can't eat it. The woman still said very blandly.
Look at the bitten fruit again, and look at the woman again. Jiang Feng really didn't understand what this woman was talking about. She was going to kill herself, but just now she pulled herself up. But if you don't kill yourself, why do you do that? If the fruit really can't be eaten, just speak up in advance. And why do that.
At this time, the woman glanced into the distance, then looked at Jiang Feng and said, "Someone is coming." Be careful not to mention me to anyone. Not even your mother. ”
As she spoke, the woman took a step towards Jiang Feng. Then it vanished. Jiang Feng looked left and right, and couldn't figure out where this woman had gone. I didn't see anyone coming.
"The whole one is a neuropathy. How could you be so unlucky to meet such a person. If I had a mother, I wouldn't have introduced you to her. Jiang Feng muttered to himself very dissatisfied.
After muttering a few words, Jiang Feng looked at the waterhole. I found that the steel helmet I had just worn on my head was floating in a pool. He put down the gourd in his hand and reached out to scoop up the steel helmet.
"It's not sinking to the bottom, what kind of material is it made of. Looking at the steel helmet in his hand, Jiang Feng said puzzled.
Looking at the fruit in his hand that had been bitten again, Jiang Feng swallowed his saliva and resisted the urge to eat it. Even if this thing is not poisonous, who knows if the woman will suddenly appear and press him into the pool. Since he was reluctant to throw it, Jiang Feng put the fruit in the steel helmet, and then put the steel helmet on his head. Only then did he have the heart to look at the gourd that he had fished out of the pool.
The gourd is less than thirty centimeters high, and a cloth bag is tied in the middle. But it doesn't look like a cloth belt, but like it's made of plants. It looks like just a very ordinary gourd. And it is a very old gourd, which is already covered with fine cracks. There are also some vague drawings on it, as if some unknown text is in place. It's just too vague. Jiang Feng couldn't even read a word clearly.
I shook it and found that there was a sound of water in the gourd. Jiang Feng thought, maybe he had been soaking in the water for a long time, and there was water inside. I thought about pulling out the plug at the mouth of the gourd and pouring out the water inside. This gourd is kept by yourself, decorated with water to drink, and it is also good.
Who would have thought that the plug that seemed to be easy to pull out, but it couldn't be pulled out. It's like they're firmly glued together. Even the tattered strap couldn't be untied, and it kept pulling.
"What the hell. Why didn't anything go smoothly today? Jiang Feng muttered a little dejectedly.
When I was depressed, thinking about who that woman was and whether it would be a ghost, I suddenly noticed a few shadows in the sky in the distance, flying quickly towards here. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a few figures flying in the sky. Seeing those people, Jiang Feng's eyes immediately straightened.
After a few seconds, five men fell to the ground. These five people didn't even glance at Jiang Feng, who had a strange shape, and pounced on the small tree by the water. There was a fiery look in everyone's eyes.
"Oh my God, is this the Fire Mulberry Fruit?" said one of them in surprise.
"Yes, it must be. It's exactly the same as it is written in the books. I didn't expect to be met by us. ”
"That's seven of them. We're going to be in luck. ”
Looking at the excited appearance of those five people, Jiang Feng realized that the fruit on the small tree was indeed a good thing. Otherwise, they wouldn't be like this. But Jiang Feng didn't say that he found it first, just tied the gourd to his pants, and then stood up and looked at those people. At this time, those people also looked at Jiang Feng.
"This fellow Daoist, looking at your appearance, it seems that you are not practicing. This place is extremely dangerous, and it may be difficult for Daoists to survive. If the Taoist friends are willing to share this fire mulberry fruit with us equally, we will escort the Taoist friends out of here. A man dressed in a long robe who looked like a scholar said to Jiang Feng.
"yes. The fire mulberry fruit here, the six of us, each of us can get a share. As long as you leave here, with this fire fruit, you will be able to worship in a sect. When the time comes, the future is bright. Another young man said to Jiang Feng.
Looking at the gazes of those people looking at him, Jiang Feng smiled and said, "No problem, of course it's no problem." Anyway, there are so many, and one more person will share one. ”
He said so, but he didn't think so in his heart. Jiang Feng understands very well that there are five people in the family, and there is only one of himself. You can't beat it. The most important thing is that these people just now, but they all flew here. Although it flew over from something. But that's what flew over.
Hearing Jiang Feng say this, the five of them were all satisfied. One of them nodded and said, "Since Daoist friends agree, let's take one from each of us." Please take it first. We'll discuss the rest of the rest. ”
The five people who surrounded the small tree all took two steps back and made way for Jiang Feng. Originally, he didn't think much about it, and when he was about to go up and pick a fruit, Jiang Feng noticed that the five people were all wary of the others. Even the objects they had just stepped on and used to fly floated around them.
"Let's go first. I'm the last to do it. I really can't do it, I don't want to. Jiang Feng said.
Seeing the appearance of those five people, Jiang Feng dared to go up and pick fruits. I'm afraid that as long as he picks it, he will be the first to die. Those five people didn't pay attention to Jiang Feng at all, and they were still wary of the others.
