Chapter 770 (2/2)

Ji Wenbin pulled the corners of his mouth: ”I look at the big snakes in the woods. Why don't we catch a few, peel them clean, wrap them in salt and bake them?”

Master Deng slapped Ji Wenbin on the back of the head impolitely: ”do you think we're out for a picnic? They all said we can't make a fire. Do you want to set off beacon smoke for the Xilong military?”

”Don't talk nonsense.” Li Qing opened the tarpaulin and spread it on the ground. ”It's going to be dark. Open your tarpaulin and collect dew.”

The others listened and hurriedly did the same. Li Qing straightened up and suddenly caught a glimpse of the ancient moon circling around a big tree.

”What's the matter? It's like being stunned...” Li Qing walked over and tilted his head.

Gu Yue ignored him and just stared at the big tree in front of him, which made Li Qing couldn't help but turn her attention to the tree. But after watching for a long time, Li Qing repeatedly confirmed that this is an ordinary tree, which is worthless.

Li Qing said with a smile, ”go back and have a rest. It's fun and can't be eaten.”

”Didn't you find that the tree is empty?” Gu Yue suddenly turned her head and stared at Li Qing.

”Ah? What?”

Before Li Qing could react, Gu Yue had pulled out her dagger and inserted it obliquely into the trunk of the tall tree with a thick waist. Then she pried it, rubbed it with a crisp sound, and a piece of bark collapsed. Then, a milky white branch and leaf gushed out of the trunk.

”What is this?” Li Qing looked at the scene and couldn't help but be surprised.

Gu Yue reached into the gap just pried open and took out a white stem. It was white and fresh, like a fresh white radish.

Glancing at Li Qing, Gu Yue opened her small mouth and bit gently, with a clear voice.

”It's sweet, you have a taste.” Gu Yue handed the dried tuber to Li Qing, with a small half of exquisite tooth marks left on it.

Li Qing tasted it and stared round in surprise: ”what is this? Why is it so sweet?”

”Parasitic rattan.” Gu Yue stepped back and looked up at the towering tree, ”don't you notice that the leaves of this tree are yellow and most of them are curled up? Its interior has long been stolen by parasitic rattan.”

Li Qing reacted. It turned out that in addition to Caiyun, there was a living map around him.

Master Deng immediately gathered and scrambled to eat this kind of stem from the trunk of the big tree.

”I didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the world.” Ji Wenbin muttered while eating. ”I've really learned a lot this time. I didn't go to the West in vain.”

”It's so sweet and quenchs your thirst.” Qin WuChao smiled, ”Gu Yue, why didn't you say it earlier? My brothers have been eating compressed biscuits.”

Gu Yue skimmed her mouth: ”parasitic rattan is a kind of thing that can't be found. How can it grow casually? Even people living in Longxi all year round can eat it once in their life.”

Li Qing blinked and put down the half tuber in his hand. Gu Yue said very little along the way, and with her usual temperament, she rarely had such a cheerful and generous situation.

Somehow, Li Qing always vaguely felt that some places were not right.

Shi Yinghui dug out half of the parasitic vine stem with a knife and handed it to Zhong Ruoxi: ”try it. It's really delicious. It's the first time I've heard of this kind of thing in Longxi for so long.”

Zhong Ruoxi stared at the thing in Shi Yinghui's hand and didn't reach out to pick it up.

Gu Yue turned back and stared at Zhong Ruoxi with a smile, but she didn't say a word.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Ruoxi nodded slightly, took over the stem and bit it gently.

”It's really sweet.” there was a smile on the corner of her lips. Zhong Ruoxi nodded at Gu Yue and raised the things in her hand, as if she wanted to dispel her old grudges with her.

Gu Yue smiled faintly, wiped the dagger clean and inserted it into her waist again.

A big meal made the team immediately throw away all the previous troubles until the laughter of the Qin and Wu dynasties sounded in the forest: ”Lao Ji, did you eat enough?”

”Where...”

Qin WuChao raised his eyebrows and asked, ”what are you doing?”

”I found...” Ji Wenbin held the trunk of a big tree with one hand and tried to blink. ”Why do you seem to have two heads?”

When the voice fell, Ji Wenbin shook his body again, and immediately fell to the ground with a plop. No one knew anything about it on the spot. The stem of the plant with the tooth mark in his hand also rolled out and fell silently into the grass.
