Original War

Chapter 360

A mountain wild mouse can make the old man so excited, maybe it has something to do with the “thousand grains of gold” that the old man Zhe said?

Shao Xuan didn’t wait much, and quickly followed the wild mouse.

The wild mouse ran very fast, but stopped and stopped. When he stopped, he watched his surroundings vigilantly, and continued running if he found no threat.

Shao Xuan could only use some low trees or taller bushes to shelter him. The plants in this area did not grow well, and there were not many shelters that could be found. It was a bit difficult to keep up quietly.

For Shao Xuan, even if it’s more difficult, he can overcome it, and he can successfully keep up with the wild mouse, but the old man can’t do it. The hidden technology is not as good as Shao Xuan’s, so he can only follow it a little further. Fortunately, he doesn’t have to stare at the wild mouse. Rat, just follow Shao Xuan.

After about twenty minutes, the wild mouse finally stopped. Shao Xuan stood not far away and watched the wild mouse enjoy the food. He turned and waved his hand to the old man who followed.

Even if Shao Xuan didn’t know the plant, he could be sure that it was not the “thousand grains of gold” the old man said. It was just a shrub nearly one meter high with some red fruits the size of a small fingernail on it. The goal is those red fruits.

Looking at the wild mouse that ate the fruit and narrowed its eyes, the old man sighed, “It’s a pity.”

But the old man didn’t hold out much hope. He knew that “thousand grains of gold” was hard to find, so he was mentally prepared.

After the wild mouse had eaten the food, it ran slowly in other directions, still running for a while, but not as fast as before.

In the sky, some birds smaller than sparrows flew over and pecked at the fruits.

Before the birds finished pecking the fruit, the old man strode up quickly, then threw them into his mouth one by one.

There was a raised stone on the ground next to it, and the old man sat there, eating fruit while watching the surrounding mountains.

“Do you know this tree?” Shao Xuan asked.

“I don’t know, it’s the first time to eat.” The old man said.

Shao Xuan pulled his mouth, stretched out his hand to pluck a few fruits from the low bush and threw them into his mouth. It’s a bit sweet, and the taste is okay, no wonder the wild mouse hurried over here.

When hunting in the mountains and forests, if you see plants you don’t know, even if the fruit looks attractive, the hunting warriors will not touch them. Unless they see other animals to eat, they will try a little bit and then make sure. Can it be included in the recipe? However, the old man obviously relied on his detoxification physique and ate unscrupulously. Shao Xuan believed that even if he hadn’t seen the scene of wild mice and birds, the old man would still eat.

“Lao Ju, why would you want to try all kinds of trees, flowers and plants? Try poisoning yourself?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Yes, no matter whether it is a poison or a medicine that is of great benefit, you need to try it before you know. There are still many waiting to be discovered in the future. We… a clan, we have started countless attempts since our ancestors, everyone eats Everything you use can only be obtained through oral and physical tests. Daggers, skips, beds, mattresses, pillows, tea, wine, vinegar, sugar, oil, which one was not tried by the ancestors?” The old man showed incomparable eyes. The color of reverence, even the fruit is not eaten, and with infinite emotion: “The descendants of my generation should inherit the will of our ancestors and shine through the ages! The merits are forever!”

Shao Xuan watched the old man spit wildly there, impassioned, this man really wanted to carry forward the entrepreneurial spirit, pioneering spirit, and self-sacrificing spirit of his ancestors, and the biggest goal of this old man now is to find it before he dies. The “thousand grains of gold” once mentioned in the notes of the ancestors.

“Even if it’s just a meeting, it’s satisfying,” the old man said.

Since I have seen the “thousand grains of gold” mentioned in the notes of our ancestors, the old man has been sleepy and sleepy, especially now that many places are drought, and the harvest of food crops is poor. Nowadays, not everyone is willing to hunt. Many people with low ability and comfort are used to digging from the ground, so not many people are willing to go to the distant mountains and forests to fight against the beasts. Besides, many people nowadays There are not many beasts around the gathering place, and if you want to hunt, you have to go farther. In addition, the densely forested areas have been occupied by some fierce tribes. Those people are not easy to talk, and they will fight if they disagree, especially those with horns.

If we can find more drought-tolerant food crops, we can alleviate the current situation to a certain extent. As for Shao Xuan’s begging for rain, some people are begging for rain every year, but unfortunately they just can’t ask for it. Thinking of this old man, I get angry. Because of those people who claim to be the descendants of the ancient witchcraft clan, they can quickly collect their salaries. They ask for rain to make excuses one by one.

After the rest, the two continued to walk along the main route, but occasionally slipped up the mountain halfway.

Two days later, there was still no sign of “thousand grains of gold”.

In the past two days, the old man was poisoned four times by eating unfamiliar plants. One of them even bleeds from Qi orifices, which was very scary. Shao Xuan thought the old man could hardly survive. As a result, the old man had been wilted for a long time. He went on looking for a thousand grains of gold alive and kickingly.

In this regard, Shao Xuan had to lament the strength of this old man’s detoxification system.

Many times Shao Xuan listened to the old man’s narration, and occasionally said a few words, most of the time just as a listener. From the old man’s words, Shao Xuanneng inferred something. For example, the old man did not come from a tribe, but from a city controlled by a slave owner. The old man himself was a slave owner.

It was the first time Shao Xuan saw such a slave owner. Before, his impression of the slave owner was all that of the group of people on the other side of the desert, but now it is rare to encounter a different kind of slave owner.

“No, I’ll rest for a while. Look around.” The old man leaning on a branch sat down against the mountain wall, “I am old, not as old as before, I want to…”

“You still don’t think about it anymore, go to bed quickly and get up on the road.” Shao Xuan said.

Because following this old man, Shao Xuan’s feet have slowed down a lot, and he is not taking the shortest route. After walking for two days, there is no feeling of dense surroundings. I don’t know if I can see if I walk at this speed for another two days. To a little dense forest.

Since he agreed to hurry with the old man, Shao Xuan would not leave people halfway.

In this barren place, Shao Xuan didn’t see a large beast, but a few human skeletons.

Sweeping his eyes, Shao Xuan recalled several useful plants that the old man had introduced to him today. If he saw it within his field of vision, Shao Xuan would silently check the number in his heart and review it again.

Thinking back, Shao Xuan heard the sound of running. The sound is not loud, but listening to the sound and rhythm is very similar to the wild mouse he has tracked before.

If it was only one, Shao Xuan heard several movements.

Could it be that this is a squirrel nest?

Shao Xuan stood up and looked at the place where the sound came from.

Several wild mice from different directions ran in the same direction. That posture was not like running for life, but more like the previous wild mouse looking for fruit, with eagerness and desire.

“Lao Ju! Hey, wake up, there is something in Lao Ju!” Shao Xuan pushed the old man who was already asleep.

“What’s the matter?” Because Shao Xuan was guarding, the old man rarely fell asleep at ease. Shao Xuan woke up before he had enough sleep, feeling a little confused for a while.

Shao Xuanzheng was going to tell the old man about his findings, but before he could speak, the old man had already shaken his ears and heard the movements around him. This is entirely a professional conditioned reflex, and other sounds he heard and skipped directly. Only some specific sounds can stimulate his nerves in the shortest time.

A shivering, the old man was so excited that he was completely sleepy. Looking around, the old man threw the stick that was used as a cane and climbed up the mountain wall.

The vision here is not good, he has to go to a higher place to see. But there are no sturdy trees around. Looking at the surrounding terrain, the most time-saving thing is to climb the mountain wall.

“Hey, you’ll be slow.” Shao Xuan was afraid that he would fall off with a slip, guarding underneath. If the old man fell from above with excitement, he could still click.

But the old man who was too emotional couldn’t control that much anymore, so he just climbed up with a single mind. Shao Xuan saw that he was climbing hard, and he helped.

After climbing up, the old man’s radar-like eyes swept around, shaking his ears, probably distinguishing the desired sound from the surrounding noise.
