Paradise

Before dark, Zhou Ze and the others had already climbed over the mountain and came to the other side of it.

Along the way, they harvested three more Limonium plants, among which Lin Bao found two, and Liu Qiang found one. He didn't compete with Lin Bao and the others for the chance to find the Limonium. He didn't think it was necessary, even It was he who discovered it at first sight, and he gave them the opportunity to guide them to discover and increase their sense of accomplishment.Zhou Ze himself captured a fat rabbit.

Zhou Ze thinks that this fat rabbit is probably a mutated rabbit. Its body is more than twice the size of a normal rabbit, its hind legs are powerful, it can jump up to two meters high, and it can run and jump very fast. Zhou Ze spent It took a lot of effort to catch it, and he had only one purpose, thinking about eating it with extra meals during dinner.

Although these Limonium Herbs were discovered by individuals, Liu Qiang and the others basically agreed that these Limonium Herbs belonged to them and did not dispute the ownership of these Limonium Herbs.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, everyone decided to find a place to rest for the night. It was not conducive to climbing at night. They were tired after climbing the mountain for a day. Not only their faces, arms and hands were cut by branches, but even the soles of their feet were worn out Blisters, they now need to rest to replenish their strength and take care of these minor injuries on their bodies.

Zhou Ze listened carefully to the sounds around him, but he didn't hear any abnormal sounds, only the sound of running water could be heard in the distance. He decided to go over there to have a look. The water they brought had run out and needed to be replenished. It is also easier to handle prey by going to a place close to the water.

"There is the sound of water over there, let's go and have a look." Zhou Ze said.

The others have no objection to this. Although they haven't heard anything now, they have seen Zhou Ze's judgment along the way, and they are right every time. They are very convinced of it.

Zhou Ze took everyone all the way there, and he found that there was a stream of mountains and rivers left from the cracks on the cliff. The wall flows down.

Everyone was very happy when they saw this. They found a slightly flat place near the cliff. In order not to cause a fire, Zhou Ze took the lead in cleaning up the messy withered grass and rotten leaves on the ground to make this small place dry. , picked up a few big stones and put them in the open space, and made a simple bonfire stove.

Liu Qiang and the others picked up some drier dry grass and branches nearby, and lit the bonfire with flints. The temperature on the mountain after sunset was very low, only a few degrees.

Before it was dark, they needed to deal with what they ate at night as soon as possible, so that they could have a good rest after filling their stomachs.

Zhou Ze took out a small pot from his back basket with a lid on it. This was a small pot that he had specially customized in Fucheng. The small pot was not big and could boil three or four bowls of water. When he was away from home, He can cook something to eat, and he can also boil water to drink. He brought this small pot out of consideration of Lin Bao's two young children.

Seeing Zhou Ze take out a pot, Liu Qiang was startled, his eyes widened, "Brother Zhou, you brought out a pot, but this pot is so small, it can't cook anything, right?"

"Don't underestimate the size of this pot. It can not only cook food, but also boil water for drinking." Lin Bao explained that he had already asked Zhou Ze about its purpose before.

"Oh, boiled water to drink, isn't there water? We can just drink it." Liu Xiaohu still didn't understand. When they were out of the house, they usually just found some water to drink when they ran out of water. He drank all the water from the pit, and he still felt that the water flowing down from the mountain tasted very cool and had a faint sweet taste.

But now that the temperature is very low, drinking the water in the mountains is another feeling. It is too cold, and it is absolutely uncomfortable to drink in the stomach.

"Drinking raw water is easy to cause diarrhea." Lin Bao told him directly, "But if you like to drink, you can also drink it."

Zhou Ze raised his hand and patted Lin Bao's shoulder, "Don't talk nonsense, the weather is so cold, the mountains and rivers are too cold, it's better to drink it after heating it up."

The others nodded, and Liu Xiaohu thought it was right, "Brother Zhou, give me the pot, I'll fetch water."

Liu Xiaohu took the pot in his hand to Shanshui to wash it clean, brought back a pot of Shanshui, and set it on the bonfire to burn.

Zhou Ze and the others were not idle either. Zhou Ze took out the prey he had hunted before, a snake and a fat hare. The snake was too small, and there would be nothing left if it was roasted, so he simply cut it into small pieces and put them in the pot Zhou Ze looked at the physical condition of Liu Qiang and the others, and put a few leaves of Limonium Limonium into the snake soup.

Zhou Ze still remembered that the little mouse dug out something from the eagle's head and fed it to him. It seemed that the strange beasts contained energy in their bodies, just like the crystal nucleus written in the book he had read. It was a rare good thing .

Zhou Ze cut the snake's head and the rabbit's head with a dagger, but unfortunately found nothing inside. Maybe not every beast has a crystal nucleus in its brain. Zhou Ze thinks that the beast with a crystal nucleus should be more powerful Some.

The fat rabbit was cut into four parts, and each person took one part and roasted it on the fire. They only put some salt on it. Even so, the roasted rabbit meat was still very tender and delicious. Take it out and bring it with you. The pancakes were filled with rabbit meat, and everyone ate them to their heart's content. If the bones weren't too hard, Liu Xiaohu would have crushed the bones and left them in shock.

What they didn't expect was that the rabbit meat and snake soup was not only delicious, but also had magical effects.

After eating fresh and tender rabbit meat, everyone drank some delicious snake soup. They felt warm all over their bodies, their tiredness was swept away, and they were full of strength. healed.

Lin Bao only felt itching under his feet. He took off his shoes and found that the blisters on his feet were beginning to heal. He thought it must be the effect of those few pieces of Limonium.

"This is the most delicious soup I've ever had. The meat of this rabbit is so delicious!" Liu Xiaohu said feelingly, licking the oil from the corner of his mouth, "I really want to grab one and give it to my mother."

"This Limonium is really a good thing. The soup is so good. You can see that the cut on my hand has grown." Liu Qiang felt that besides his strength, he also discovered other benefits. He was really surprised and surprised strange.

"This is the benefit of Limonium Herb. That's why the aristocratic families outside spent so much money buying them." Zhou Ze said, "This time we were lucky and caught a mutated snake. The mutated animal came after eating the herb. They are just mutated, and their meat also has some effects of medicinal herbs, which are good for humans after eating, but these mutated animals are very powerful, it is best not to take their ideas lightly."

Several other people nodded. They knew how much they weighed, and they could only run away when they encountered mutant animals. How could they dare to play with them? This time, they were able to eat their meat because of Zhou Ze's honor.

"Then did they become very powerful after eating such a powerful blood-boosting herb, have great strength, and can jump as high as the rabbit we ate?" Liu Xiaohu's focus is still on replenishing blood On the grass, it was the first time I experienced such a miraculous thing, and my head was full of shock.

Hearing what he said, Zhou Ze smiled, "Xiaohu, you are right, it will indeed become very powerful, very powerful, they are usually people who practice martial arts, and we can't afford to mess with those people."

Zhou Ze felt that they should not give them the illusion that Limonium is easy to find. Relatively, entering the mountains is not an easy task. If it were so easy, wouldn't everyone be rich? This kind of easy thinking must never arise.

"Not only ordinary people go to the mountains, but also many powerful people who go to the mountains to collect herbs. Some of these people are reasonable, and some are not." Zhou Ze continued.

"Then will they steal other people's things?" Liu Xiaohu suddenly felt a little nervous when he heard what he said. He looked around, for fear that someone would suddenly jump out and steal their things. He heard the old man in the village mention that there were robbers Rob, rob or something.

"Stealing things is a trivial matter. Sometimes they will not only rob things, but also kill people to silence them." Zhou Ze said with a serious face.

Then he realized that he really shouldn't talk about such scary things at night, because Liu Qiang and the others were obviously frightened by what he said, and the happy smile on their faces disappeared, replaced by a nervous and scared expression.

Lin Bao was also taken aback, he couldn't help moving closer to Zhou Ze, and the other two moved closer to him as well, looking at the surrounding situation, afraid that someone would suddenly come out.

Seeing their performance, Zhou Ze couldn't laugh or cry. He was afraid that they would be too scared and nervous, so he had no choice but to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, ordinary people like us usually don't care. They are also robbing those who have money. Humans, we ordinary people just live our own lives, don't have to think so much..."

"That's right, we don't have anything. Why are they robbing us?" Liu Qiang said pretending to be calm. In fact, he was still a little scared. He knew that the more powerful the person, the more tempered he would be. Is it possible that my life will be lost?

"Okay, let's not talk about this, everyone is tired, let's rest quickly, we have to hurry tomorrow morning, you guys hurry up and sleep, I will watch here, don't be afraid."

Zhou Ze's words stopped short, he didn't continue to say too much, for fear of scaring them, well, they were already scared, but what he said was not nonsense, although they had never encountered such a thing , but in such a martial country where the strong are respected, nothing will happen.

However, what he didn't expect was that they soon encountered a bad thing, which made them choose to go home instead of going further into the mountains.
