Lu Yixiang took Yan Yingluo and the four bearers down the mountain and harvested many valuable fungi. The terrain here is high and the rain is abundant. Naturally, there are many fungi growing wildly in hidden places.
Among them are many mushrooms called Jianshouqing, which are so delicious that they don’t even need heavy-smelling seasonings. Heat the pan, pour oil, and stir-fry over high heat until cooked. The fresh taste will make people want to eat the whole pan.
However, eating fungi is a matter that extremely tests experience and courage. If a person accidentally recognizes a poisonous fungus by mistake and mixes it in, he often loses his life. Furthermore, this kind of fungus is extremely demanding of heat. If it is fried half-cooked, it will still be
Easily poisoned.
As long as you are not greedy, you still have a chance to get your life back with the help of herbal medicine.
However, the local people like this delicious food so much that they go to the mountains to pick it during the rainy season. Due to various coincidences, people are poisoned by the fungus one after another. The doctor responsible for the treatment is very busy and exhausted, and often he has just returned from the fungus.
The Lord of Hell snatched the patient's life back from his hands and was about to go to the next home.
The stubborn master tasted it again in disbelief, and then he was dying again, which could make the doctor angry.
Every time during the rainy season, the local government would order officers to set up checkpoints at fixed locations to prevent greedy people from entering the mountains to pick mushrooms. However, they did not expect that such measures could not stop the people from risking their lives to eat mushrooms.
I would rather believe that I didn't fry the fungus, I would rather believe that the fungus was spitted on, rather than believe that the fungus is poisonous, which shows how popular this fungus is.
Lu Yixiang was carrying a fat wild boar on his shoulders. He glanced at Xu Xiuzhu, who was teaching He Xu how to stand, and suddenly became angry. He picked up a piece of wood, carried the wild boar and rushed up towards the man.
Just a beating.
While beating him, he also cursed: "I asked you to practice swordsmanship, but I didn't let you mislead others here!"
Xu Xiuzhu did not dodge in a hurry and kept wailing, which made Yan Yingluo and the four bearers laugh.
Lu Yixiang stared at He Xu who was standing motionless, pacing back and forth, sighing from time to time, and shaking his head from time to time. This made He Xu, who had already decided to retreat after the meeting, become even more sad.
Therefore, at dinner, when faced with the fragrant live roasted wild boar meat and mushroom soup, they were all tasteless and rarely used chopsticks.
In the middle of the night, He Xu's flat stomach growled unsatisfactorily. He suddenly regretted that he had been so pretentious and missed important events in his life, so he secretly opened his eyes and looked around. Yan Yingluo had returned to the sedan chair.
After resting, the others found some soft branches and leaves that were not dry, not far from the campfire, and fell asleep.
It was Xia Ze's turn to watch the bonfire at night, but this guy had his head drooped, looking like he was sleeping soundly? He Xu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and tiptoed to the bonfire, wanting to see if there was any meat on the bone rack.
Just take a few bites.
As a result, that frame was shaved clean, and even the iron pot in which the fungus soup was stewed was polished as clean as new. I don’t know who the greedy guy was, but he didn’t even have a mouthful of soup left. I was really angry.
dead!
He Xu immediately lost his energy and was about to go back to sleep dejectedly. Suddenly he smelled a fragrant aroma. He looked down and saw a steaming bowl of rice filled with wild boar slices and mushrooms.
Xia Ze's face was filled with a warm smile: "Eat, I saw you were listless when you were eating, and you didn't eat much. I figured you would be hungry at this time, so I left some for you."
He Xu took two steps back. This guy's behavior made him a little uncomfortable.
"There's only so much left. If you don't eat it, it will get cold. When the fungus gets cold, it's not only unpalatable, but also poisonous," Xia Ze said.
He Xu then picked up the dishes and chopsticks, feeling mixed.
Xia Ze scratched the back of his head and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Xiao Hexu, I should have told you before that I asked you to go back to Yunxi Town not because I thought you were a troublemaker, but because I caused a lot of trouble. There will be trouble, and along the way, there will probably be many enemies who will come after me... It is inevitable that I will not be able to take care of you. If something happens, I don’t know how to explain it to your sister."
He Xu swallowed a mouthful of wild boar with difficulty, choked and rolled his eyes, and then asked: "What kind of enemy is he? You can't even take care of him."
Xia Ze thought about it seriously: "There are probably as many people as Da Qi and Da Zhou combined, maybe even more than that..."
"But you are so powerful. You can even kill Pichu Luo and the fox demon, and you are still afraid of them?" He Xu put down his job.
"One day there will be someone better than me, and besides, I'm not that good either."
"Then you want to drive me back?" He Xu was a little disappointed.
Xia Ze smiled and shook his head: "No, I have to do what I promised you. I have to take you to find my sister. But I have to be more low-key in the future and can't be like before... "
He Xu's nose felt sour, he covered his mouth and started crying.
Xia Ze touched his head: "Someone once told me that a gentleman is as humble as jade and as strong as iron. If he promises something to others, he will do it even to the death!"
He lightly slapped himself in the mouth and said with a smile: "You shouldn't talk about death, you are still alive. It doesn't matter if you can't do it. There are ten steps to a task. If you try your best to take eight or nine steps, it is already amazing." .”
He Xu wiped his tears: "Xia Ze, I'm sorry. I only had eyes for my sister before. I was afraid that you would miss my sister..."
Xia Ze crossed his arms and pretended to be angry: "What now?"
He Xu wiped his tears and said, "Actually, it's not bad. If you marry my sister, I, He Xu, won't object."
Xia Ze raised his head, sighed deeply, and pretended to be serious: "What a pity, I already have a wife, and that girl has a good background, so the next life, the next life, will not be possible."
He Xu reacted and kicked him with a smile. The two laughed and made up as before.
"Grandpa, that guy has attacked us several times, and we still want to let him go like this?" Li Mifang hid in the dark, his face full of resentment.
Li Sheng shook his head and sighed: "That kid's cultivation level is too high, so what if we were able to do it? I thought I could help him kill the sharks just now, so I took this opportunity to win over him, but I didn't think that I did something bad with good intentions. Now not only can't we be friends, I'm afraid I'll have to avoid him when we meet..."
Li Mifang wanted to say something, but Li Sheng glared back and said the truth.
"In Yuqiao Town, we used all our possessions but failed to kill him. Even the magic weapon I had packed at the bottom of the box was robbed. On Dian Cang Mountain, there were two warriors who were above the fifth realm. ,Why do you think you can kill him?"
Li Mifang was furious, speechless and choked.
The handsome man on the side looked at his grandfather and sister who were arguing endlessly, with helplessness in his eyes.
On the second day, everyone had breakfast and went on the road together. They walked down from Sanyang Mountain and arrived at the foot of Shengying Peak Mountain, which is close to Qingshen County. Along the way, many vendors could be seen setting up stalls halfway along the road.
Those selling dates, food, and cloth were no less lively than the busy market in Yuqiao Town. As Xia Ze walked around, there was a vendor selling something very strange. It was actually dough made from the skin and flesh of a certain spiritual animal.
It is said that in a certain state capital outside Qingyang County, sales are extremely hot.
The selling price is not low, it costs five grains of silver, or 50,000 taels of silver in the world. Men and women are almost sold out.
Xia Ze looked at the overwhelming crowd surrounding the stall and sighed. Most of those who bought dough were buying it for their partners. They just needed to attach the dough to their partner's face and then ask a skilled painter to add the dots to their eyes, whatever they wanted.
The appearance is easy to do.
Therefore, there are rumors that the people in that state capital, both men and women, look exactly the same. It may not be easy to look at each other, but it would be wrong if you only care about the skin.
Suddenly, a miserable cry came to Xia Ze's ears. When he lowered his head, he saw that there were three or four little green people in the cage.
