Chapter 85
The master has been in a very excited mood for the past few days. The root cause of his wrinkled face rubbing his hands and laughing all day is the tree that grew out of the stone overnight that he found outside the base. Ye Zhao and the others went to see the stone, which was about the size of two people hugging each other. It was oblong, and the surface was unexpectedly smooth. The whole stone was red in color, and it was half-naked abruptly outside the base near the forest. On this boulder, a tree taller than a person grows straight up. The roots of the tree are completely buried in the stone, and only a few roots protrude from the stone, which is very strange to look at.
The branches of the tree are straight, with lush branches and leaves, and there are many small fruits hanging on it. The fruits look smooth and full, like small lanterns one by one.
"Hiss—" Luo Xiaochen looked at the fruit, and asked the master hesitantly, "Why do I look like a lantern tree..."
"It does." Ye Zhao rarely echoed Erhuo's argument, and said, "However, the lantern tree growing on the stone..." He frowned, as if thinking about something.
The master gave Luo Xiaochen a disgusted look: "What is a resemblance, this is it!"
"No, it's just a lantern tree, old man, are you happy to do this?!" Luo Xiaochen couldn't understand the old man's thinking at all.
Nie Renyan next to him rubbed his chin and looked at the tree and the stone for a while, and seemed to remember something: "Hey!" He snapped his fingers, "Is the lantern tree called the eucalyptus tree? The eucalyptus tree that grows on the red stone, Oh, it’s really a good thing, I’ve only seen a few before.”
Even Xia Zhiming and the others were dissatisfied at this moment: "Tsk, what detours are you making!"
The master happily walked around the tree twice, as if looking at a baby, his eyes were so numb that he couldn't bear to look directly at him. As he walked around, he explained: "This red stone is not an ordinary stone. It is the gallbladder left by the black carp in the East China Sea after death, and the eucalyptus tree that grows on this gallbladder bears fruit, and when it is ripe, it is taken off and used, and there is no incurable disease."
"Fuck! This is courage?! Are you kidding me, your family is so courageous?!" Luo Xiaochen stared dumbfounded at the stone that could only be embraced by two people, and felt that what the master said was simply absurd.
"What are you saying!" The master was dissatisfied with Luo Xiaochen's questioning of his consistent and accurate judgment, "The black carp in the East China Sea, do you think it can fit on a plate like the one you ate before?! Dreaming? It's an ancient black carp ah!"
Luo Xiaochen: "..." The black carp in ancient times was also a carp, so you can't really turn into a dragon by just jumping, brother Qinglong will cry →_.→ Master stomped his feet in anger at Luo Xiaochen's suspicious eyes: "According to records, that The black carp is about a thousand feet long!"
Everyone: "...=口="A black carp more than 330 meters long!
Luo Xiaochen: "That's enough for a base!!"
Everyone: "..."
The master felt tired talking to the foodies, so he waved his hands weakly, and said to Shi Shi, "Accompany me every day to have a look, and pick the fruit when it is ripe."
"When will it be ripe?" Xia Zhiming and the others were very happy to see such a miraculous fruit. First, it was caused by past professional psychology, and second, every time there was a disease or sore in the base, they were the young men pulled by the master. To tell you the truth, the illness is fine, and those who have sores can save a day's food after watching a group.
"I don't know, but according to the speed at which the eucalyptus tree grows overnight, it may take less than two days. Now the fruit has just started to turn green, and it can be removed when it turns blue and yellow. But if you want the best effect, you should use Wait until they are fully ripe and turn purple. At that time, pick a few and throw them in a large bucket of water, soak them, and share them with the people to drink. All problems will disappear, and at least within a hundred days, you don’t have to worry about getting sick " The master stroked the goatee on his chin, and smiled abnormally: "When the time comes, heels will pass by one after another, I am not in a hurry! With this fruit, there is no fear of a plague for the whole people."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person standing guard next to him suddenly howled "Aww": "Master! The heel! The heel is coming again!"
The master's laughter stopped abruptly, and he turned his face stiffly to look over there, only to hear a sudden "flapping" sound of wings flapping in the forest, a group of owls that looked like owls, but dragged a stick behind their buttocks. Strange pig-tailed birds swooped out of the woods in black, hovered over the base for a while, then dispersed with a huff, and hid back in the woods like a prank.
"His mother will die if you come a few days late!" The master couldn't help but burst out, and rolled his eyes and passed out.
Nie Renyan and Ye Zhao rushed out like a gust of wind the moment they noticed their heels flying by. After a while, the two of them, with dark faces and covered in bird feathers, came back with a bunch of heels that had come to kill them. Master's side.
While reaching out to pat the bird feathers off Ye Zhao's body, Nie Renyan tipped his toes against the arm of the master who was pretending to be fainted on the ground, and said, "Don't pretend to be dead, old man, and then pretend to release the pomegranate and take you out for a walk. So far. Hurry up and deal with this group of things, roast or fry as you like."
Ye Zhao and Nie Renyan grabbed their tails and swung them several times in the air just now, and now they were thrown on the ground, with stars in their eyes and foaming at the mouth. Some slender paws trembled twice.
The master was full of blood on the spot, picked up those heels vigorously, threw them all into the cloth pocket where Pomegranate lived, and received another angry slap from Pomegranate as expected. However, fortunately, the pomegranate itself was made out of talismans and was not considered a real living being, otherwise it would have been tossed to death by all kinds of ancient beasts in the cloth pocket.
The plague effect on the heels came very quickly. After almost a few minutes, various symptoms began to appear on a large scale in the base. However, this was not the first time. The people in the base, including medical staff, responded
I have already gained experience in getting up, and I am not in a hurry, except for some physical discomfort, I am basically in a state of numbness, waiting for the master to lead the strong men to feed the life-saving pills one by one. =_,=
Why do you only need to save your life and not cure it? Because tomorrow maybe there will be a nest of heels coming out and jumping a few times, and I will get sick after being cured...
During this period of time, people have been put in a distorted and extreme state of mind by the endless flooding of the city, the burning of the mountain, and the rampant plague almost once a day, and they get used to it when they are scared. It doesn't matter if you live in such a frenzied life or not →_.→Of course, this is the idea of ordinary people who have no power to restrain the ancient beasts, and they themselves are fierce (qin) beasts ( shou) Ye Zhao and Nie Renyan and the masters who have the power to resist don't think so. In their view, as long as they don't die, there is still a day to turn this crazy world into a normal channel.
For this group of people, the biggest hidden dangers are Wuwu and Taotie. As long as these two are found out, at least half of the peace should be considered.
They spent two days with such thoughts and anticipation of the eucalyptus fruit. Just as the master expected, the fruit of the eucalyptus tree matured extremely quickly. The fruit that was green and whitish before turned into a greenish yellow after one day, and after the second day, it turned into a purple red that symbolized full maturity. Outside the base, bursts of fragrance are exuding, and just smelling it can lift people's spirits.
The fruit of this tree was picked and filled a basket full. The master took the stones and took Ye Zhao and Nie Renyan, who were not affected by the plague, to the cafeteria to get a few buckets for soup, and threw the eucalyptus fruit into it. The boiling water boiled, and after waiting for three hours, the color of the water in each soup bucket had turned dark red, and the juice of the eucalyptus fruit had completely soaked, exuding an extremely strong herbal aroma.
The little white mouse Luo Xiaochen was attracted by the fragrance, so he was very happy to be the first person to try it: "Hey, just by smelling the smell, you can tell that this thing is not bad, fairy fruit is fairy fruit!" He held the bowl with two paws, blew it to cool down, and then looked up. Take a sip of your head.
"Woo—" He was about to spray, but Xia Zhiming quickly covered his mouth with his eyes and hands, and snorted coldly, "It's a good thing, it's shameful to waste it. If you dare to spray it out, Master will be the first to cut you off!"
With a bitter face and tears streaming down his face, Luo Xiaochen swallowed the soup with an expression as if he was going to die, stuck out his tongue for a long time, and then said: "Fuck! I would rather continue to suffer! Asking and drinking are completely different. What kind of smell, what kind of cheating?!"
"Hiss—have you never drank traditional Chinese medicine or what?" Xia Zhiming felt that his exaggerated reaction was cheating, so he also scooped up a bowl, blew it twice, and then took a big gulp.
Xia Zhiming: "..."
Luo Xiaochen covered his mouth and gloated: "It's shameful to waste good things, and you have to lie down on the ground and lick it up!"
Swallowing it with difficulty, Xia Zhiming frowned and stared at the master: "This is really a goddamn fairy fruit?! There is no other place in the world that smells like this!"
The master nodded in satisfaction: "It's bad? It's fine." ╮(╯_╰)╭ Lying on the bed beside him, Fang Siyuan, who was holding a bowl and hadn't finished his mouth yet, had a stiff face, horrified by his boss's reaction I can't keep my mouth shut. But a fairy fruit is a fairy fruit, and after Xia Zhiming and Luo Xiaochen swallowed a whole bowl full of breath, they became alive and kicking almost immediately, and even looked much better than when they were in their best condition.
Seeing their reaction, the master was even happier, and excitedly urged Fang Siyuan and Mu Mu to pour down the soup, and then ordered Shi Shi to lead everyone to the cafeteria, and distributed the soup to each person in a bowl. For a time, the entire cafeteria was filled with mourning, and the howls like killing pigs continued one after another.
Ye Zhao twitched the corners of his mouth and couldn't stand it anymore, so he followed Nie Renyan to get some ingredients from the cafeteria, and planned to go back to the hut where the two lived to make a meal to appease Luo Xiaochen and his group of mice.
