It is not difficult for Zhang Xiaozu to have a full stomach.
Although the skill of fishing in the river is a bit unfamiliar, once I take off my clothes and dive into the river, and dive in a few times, the feeling of fishing will come back.
What made Zhang Xiaozhu happy was that there were a lot of big fish in the river. Soon he caught two big fish, a carp and a catfish, both weighing five or six kilograms.
He climbed ashore and put on his clothes, picked up Butcher Zhang on his back, and walked to the woods not far away to pick up some dead branches. He did not dare to leave Butcher Zhang alone by the river for fear of poisonous snakes or wild beasts.
The forest is not very big, with only about eighty or so trees scattered across the ground. Fortunately, there are a lot of dead branches on the ground, enough for Zhang Xiaopeng to grill fish.
A gust of breeze blew by, carrying a scent of fragrance drifting past Zhang Xiaozhu's nose.
Zhang Xiaozu's eyes lit up, he looked in the direction of the wind, and then a smile appeared on his face.
He saw a bright red fruit hanging on the ivy of a vine-like plant outside the woods.
Zhang Xiaozu stepped forward quickly, but did not rush to pick, but observed it first.
He found that there was only one fruit on the vine. He didn't know what kind of fruit it was. It was red, shaped a bit like a peach, and exuded an attractive fragrance. It had a thin skin and was juicy and very delicious.
There are still many dried fruit cores hanging on the ivy. I don't know whether they were eaten by birds or animals. There are some half-eaten ones and overripe ones that fell off on the ground, but they are all rotten.
Based on this, Zhang Xiaozu judged that the red fruit was not poisonous, so he reached out to pick it off, carefully put it into his arms, and prepared to feed it to Butcher Zhang.
He picked up a bundle of dead branches and returned to the beach. After a lot of effort, he lit a fire, put two fresh branches on the fish, and grilled it on the fire.
Then he went to the river and brought some water to Butcher Zhang. Then he took out the fruit from his arms and whispered in Butcher Zhang's ear: "Grandpa, I picked a ripe red fruit. You smell it, it's very delicious."
It’s very fragrant, do you want to eat it?”
After asking several times, Butcher Zhang still had no response.
Zhang Xiaozu sighed sadly, pinched off a piece of skin from the red fruit with his nails, and then held the whole fruit into his right hand. He gently opened Butcher Zhang's mouth with his left hand, squeezed the red fruit slowly and hard with his right hand, squeezed out the juice and dripped it into Butcher Zhang.
of mouth.
The red juice has a lot of juice, and the juice will flow out with a little force. The fragrance is tangy to the nostrils, and Zhang Xiaozu is so greedy that he can't help but want to take a bite.
"Ah, I'm sorry." Zhang Xiaozhu apologized quickly, thinking that Butcher Zhang had choked on the juice, so he tilted his head slightly.
"Grandpa, can you hear me?"
"Grandpa, do you want to eat the fragrant fruit?"
Zhang Xiaozhu asked in Butcher Zhang's ear. Butcher Zhang made a vague grunting sound in his throat, as if he was saying something, but the sound was too vague and Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't hear it clearly. However, from the way Butcher Zhang opened his mouth desperately, he understood that Butcher Zhang was
Anxious to eat the fruit.
He hurriedly squeezed juice into Butcher Zhang's open mouth, thinking that he would wait until Butcher Zhang regained some consciousness before feeding him the fruit pulp to avoid choking again.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the juice dripped into his mouth, Butcher Zhang started coughing violently again.
Zhang Xiaozu was startled for a moment, then looked at the fruit in his hand, and couldn't help but wonder: "Is it the problem with this fruit? It doesn't taste good?"
So he raised his head and dropped a little juice into his mouth.
"Cough-cough-"
As soon as the juice touched his tongue, he coughed violently, and then he realized that the fragrant juice was actually spicy, and extremely spicy.
Zhang Xiaozhu felt as if his entire mouth was on fire for an instant, and the fire went straight into his throat, and the energy directly hit his heart and lungs.
Only then did he understand that Butcher Zhang didn't mean to eat fruit when he opened his mouth wide, but to drink water.
"Ah, grandpa, I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
"Damn it!"
Zhang Xiaozu threw away the red fruit, apologized awkwardly, and ran to the river.
Gulu gulu——
As soon as the water was brought to Butcher Zhang's mouth, he drank it impatiently.
It can be seen that he was really pissed off.
To Zhang Xiaozu's relief, the red fruit was only spicy, not poisonous. Once the spiciness was over, it would be fine.
However, it may be poisonous, but since he has eaten ambergris, his body is immune to all poisons, and the toxicity of the red fruit may not be enough to harm him.
Fortunately, Butcher Zhang had also eaten ambergris fruit, which made Zhang Xiaozu feel more at ease.
After such a tossing, the fish on the fire didn't bother to turn over, and the bottom side was almost burnt.
Zhang Xiaozu flipped the grilled fish, feeling embarrassed and blaming himself for almost burning the old man to death.
Suddenly, he was startled and felt a fire in his heart. This fire warmed his whole body, made his blood strong, and seemed to have endless strength.
But just as he was about to feel it carefully, the fire suddenly dissipated.
"Could it be?!"
A surprising thought popped into Zhang Xiaozu's mind, and he turned to look at the red fruit he had thrown on the beach, suspecting that the fire in his heart just now had something to do with it.
He turned to look at Butcher Zhang who was lying beside him, and found that his pale and dark face had a little blood color at some point.
After making sure that he was not dazzled, Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help but get excited, moved his body in front of Butcher Zhang, stretched out his fingers to take his pulse, and found that his pulse had become stronger.
"Let me try it!"
Zhang Xiaozu stood up, walked over, picked up the red fruit, and blew off the sand on it. He did not take it to the river to wash it, for fear that the water would dilute its medicinal properties.
He wanted to test whether the fire in his heart just now was caused by the red fruit. This time he did not squeeze out the juice to drink, but took a small bite.
I didn't chew it carefully and swallowed it directly into my stomach.
boom!
Zhang Xiaozu only felt a fierce flame explode in his stomach, and a hot stream of heat rose from his abdominal cavity and went straight to his forehead, making him roll his eyes and burst into tears.
He resisted not going to drink water.
After about sixty or seventy breaths, the scalding heat in the abdominal cavity suddenly converged towards the pit of the heart, and finally condensed into a ball in the pit of the heart, like a flame.
Zhang Xiaopou suddenly felt warmth flowing through his body, his blood was gushing, and the power of his blood was unprecedentedly strong. A wave of his fist seemed to have the power to collapse a mountain.
"Haha, great!"
Zhang Xiaozu couldn't help but laugh happily, because the power of blood was exactly what Zhang Butcher was in urgent need of.
Although the anger caused by the red fruit supplement is only temporary and will dissipate after the effect of the medicine wears off, it is better than nothing.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry!"
Zhang Xiaozhu put his hands together and expressed his deep apology to Butcher Zhang, because what was about to happen might be a bit cruel.
He pinched off a piece of flesh about the size of his thumb from the red fruit. It was too big for Butcher Zhang to swallow. He opened Butcher Zhang's mouth with his other hand, then aimed at the depth of his throat and flicked hard with his left hand.
Immediately after covering his mouth and nose, Butcher Zhang made a growl in his throat and swallowed the fruit pulp into his stomach.
I saw Butcher Zhang's skinny body tremble suddenly, and then his deeply sunken eyelids suddenly opened, and the eyeballs bulged out of their sockets as if they were filled with air.
"Well... I've tried it, just bear with it and it'll be fine." Zhang Xiaozu hurriedly reassured him, saying that he had experience.
After more than ten breaths, Zhang Tufu's eyelids closed again. After another dozen breaths, his body stopped trembling, his face gradually became rosy, and his pulse gradually became stronger.
"Grandpa—Grandpa—"
Zhang Xiaozu called Butcher Zhang several times in his ear. Seeing that his consciousness was still in a coma, he pinched off another piece of fruit pulp.
After feeding Butcher Zhang three pieces of fruit pulp in a row, Zhang Xiaopou stopped and did not dare to continue, fearing that Butcher Zhang's weak body would not be able to bear it.
Butcher Zhang's breathing and pulse have become stronger, and he should wake up soon.
Zhang Xiaozu found some big blades of grass, wrapped the red fruits and placed them beside him, then grilled the fish while waiting for Butcher Zhang to wake up.
After a while, the fish was cooked, and Butcher Zhang woke up.
"Grandpa, you're awake. Do you feel any discomfort?" When Zhang Xiaozhu saw Butcher Zhang waking up, he quickly stepped forward to ask with concern, worried about the side effects of the red fruit.
Zhang Butcher opened his eyes and looked at the sky. He was dazed for a short time and then came to his senses. He looked at Zhang Xiaozu and shook his head and replied: "I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere, but I feel a lot better. My breathing is smoother and stronger. My body seems...are you?"
What magic elixir have you given me?”
He suddenly noticed that his physical condition had improved a lot, and there seemed to be a fire burning in the pit of his heart, making him feel comfortable and strong. He immediately guessed that Zhang Xiaozu must have given him something good.
"Haha, don't waste the elixir on me. My vitality has been exhausted and I can't be saved."
Butcher Zhang smiled and waved his hands, then coughed his dry throat, sat up with his arms propped up on his body, and asked: "Is there any water? Give me a few sips. I have been having a nightmare just now, dreaming that someone was trying to kill me
If there is fire in my belly, does it mean that I will go to sea of fire and hell after death?"
"Is there no water?" Butcher Zhang saw that Zhang Xiaopou looked embarrassed and refused to talk to him, so he thought that Zhang Xiaopou didn't have water.
"Oh, yes, please wait a moment." Zhang Xiaozu quickly responded, ran to pick a big blade of grass, scooped some water from the river and gave it to Butcher Zhang.
Butcher Zhang looked at Zhang Xiaozu with confusion. He remembered that Zhang Xiaozu had a water bag, could he have lost it?
Zhang Xiaozhu knew what Butcher Zhang was confused about, so he immediately told him the whole story and the current situation.
After hearing this, Butcher Zhang was very surprised. He looked at Zhang Xiaozu and asked, "You said you have no cultivation at all now?"
"Well, I have nothing left. It's like I've never practiced before. It can't be said that I only have pure physical strength left, and I also remember the martial arts moves." Zhang Xiaozu replied.
Butcher Zhang looked around and exclaimed: "I have never heard of such ruins."
"Grandpa, do you know this kind of fruit?" Zhang Xiaozu picked up the red fruit, uncovered the grass leaves outside the package, and placed it in front of Butcher Zhang.
"Is this... Flame Heart Fruit?" Butcher Zhang looked at the fruit with a small piece missing uncertainly.
Then he looked startled, looked at Zhang Xiaozu and asked: "When I was unconscious just now, did you feed me this and cover my mouth and nose with your hands?"
