Chapter 131 - Mountain God (2/2)
Wei Huo pointed at the rhinoceros, the purple cat, and the giant squirrel that ate iron ores.
“Dinosaur-era rhinoceros! Dinosaur-era cat! Dinosaur-era squirrel!”
Everyone was speechless.
Xiao Bin said weakly, “Experts say that mammals appeared after dinosaurs died. Humans appeared later.”
As the rose branches on either side of her supported her, Auntie Li said confidently, “Can experts be trusted? Do you know what’s real?”
Soon, everyone followed Auntie Li out of the rose garden. They saw a manor and over ten children running around. A female teacher in her twenties shouted, “Don’t run around! Listen to my orders. Grab the hoes. We’ll learn how to plant flowers and trees!”
Auntie Li explained, “These children came to our rose garden to play. The teacher brought them here to play, but they transmigrated to the dinosaur era with us. I asked the teacher to plant flowers and trees for them so they could survive in the rose garden.”
Wei Huo was confused. “How do you communicate with the roses? How do they understand what you are talking about?”
When Auntie Li heard that, she smiled faintly, but her eyes could not hide the smugness in them. “This started thanks to my years of experience planting trees. When I first arrived here, we were also afraid. However, the rose seedlings and the hoe in my hands transmigrated with me. Because of the plant seedlings and the hoe, the Mountain God summoned me, hoping that I could help him grow all sorts of plants. After I ate the fruit he gave me, the roses could understand my words.”
Everyone was astonished. They were shocked by this. However, they could not understand why there was a Tree-Man behind them.
The Tree-Man stopped in his tracks and told Wei Huo, “I’m not going in. I’ll rest here. Call me if you need anything.”
No one understood what the giant tree was talking about apart from Wei Huo. He glanced at the giant tree and thought about it for a moment before saying, “That’s fine. The animals should stay too. Wei Sha, take good care of them.”
The Tree-Man stopped. He dug a huge hole and buried the lower part of his body. When he closed his eyes again, it was as if he had turned into a real tree.
The animals and savages in the team stopped and rested by the tree. The Gold-Eater jumped onto a tree branch and stared at Wei Huo and the others while chewing on metal.
“Big Sister Li, you’re back. You… brought someone back?” The teacher greeted Big Sister Li respectfully at first, but she was surprised when she saw Wei Huo and the others behind Big Sister Li.
Big Sister Li waved her hand. “I brought some guests back. Prepare the food!”
Wei Huo said, “I don’t think there’s any meat here. I brought some meat myself. Let’s eat it together.”
Upon hearing about the meat, the adults and the children in the rose garden swallowed their saliva.
Wei Huo glanced at Mo Guyun. “Doctor Mo, you should know how to cook. Go help them. We can’t eat with them without contributing!”
Mo Guyun’s eyes widened. I was injured, and my clothes were torn. I only hurriedly put on a coat I found in Liu Ying’s village. Now, you’re asking me to cook?
Auntie Li said, “Young lady, you were injured earlier, right? Why would you cook? I’ll take you to give you some medicine.”
Wei Huo glanced at Xiao Bin. Xiao Bin immediately understood. He jumped forward and said, “I know how to cook. I’ll help. We have a lot of meat here, but we have no cooks. Great, we don’t have to eat roasted meat anymore.”
The moment he mentioned meat, the children swallowed their saliva. They had not eaten meat in 10 days and they had been eating flower petals and fruit every day. If it were not for the flour in the manor, they probably would not have been able to eat flower pastries.
Wei Huo looked at Xiao Bin in approval and told Auntie Li, “I want to meet the Mountain God you mentioned. Is that possible?”
