Seeing that everyone was looking at his stomach, the tips of his ears turned red enough to bleed.
Shen Yizhi took out some food and laid out the table, "Let's talk while we eat."
Xia Ben was so hungry that he didn't bother to be polite. He just said thank you and started to eat voraciously.
The moment he put it in his mouth, he finally understood why his master had been talking about the food cooked by Shen Yizhizi.
Looking at him busy eating, Min Tianyou felt as if he was seeing himself a few days ago, and had an inexplicable sense of superiority.
He even put a piece of rabbit meat into his bowl and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Xia Ben looked at the rabbit meat in the bowl, then at Min Tianyou who was smiling at him. Suddenly, his hair stood on end, he choked, and started coughing loudly.
Cui Yue moved aside in disgust.
"Min Tianyou, I told you I'm not interested in men, you should eat this piece of rabbit meat yourself."
Xia Ben picked up the piece of rabbit meat and threw it into Min Tianyou's bowl.
As soon as he said this, the dinner table fell into silence.
Cui Yue looked back and forth between Xia Ben and Min Tianyou several times, disgust clearly revealed in her eyes.
When she looked at Jiada and Jiaer, they shook their heads subconsciously and said in unison: "I'm not, I didn't, I just came to protect Master Min."
Min Tianyou: “…”
"Haha, I'm not someone who likes everyone." He tried to save his dignity and glanced at the three men at the table with disdain.
And Shen Yizhi and Cui Yue, who were once favored by him: ...did not feel honored.
"Okay, let's eat well. Xia Ben, you tell me." Shen Yizhizi spoke, ending the strange atmosphere at the table.
At this moment, Xia Ben was about 40% full, so he ate slower and gave the general account of what had happened.
To put it simply, he experienced all kinds of hardships in the process of searching for Jianmu. Finally, he found it, but discovered that the Jianmu tree had already been occupied by a group of monkeys.
He stayed there for several days and finally figured out the monkeys' activity patterns. He wanted to cut down a branch and take it away while they were out looking for food, but when he was halfway through cutting, the monkeys came back.
Jianmu was the monkeys' home, and their home was destroyed. How could they not be angry? Naturally, they wanted to hunt down Xia Ben.
After the meal, Shen Yizhi said to Xia Ben, "Where is the Jianmu tree? Take me there."
The monkey group has been killed by them, so now Jianmu is unattended, which is a good time for them to cut down the tree.
Jianmu grows extremely tall and strong, a single tree forming a forest, with leaves as big as baskets and the tree covered with black flowers.
However, what is strange is that such a big tree stands there without any shadow.
The sandfish in the Shenyu River love to make innuendos, but this Jianmu has no shadow, so isn't it just right to use it to build boats to cross the river? The branch that Xia Ben had cut down earlier was at the bottom, and he could see black juice seeping out of the broken end.
Shen Yizhi drove the Tianzhou closer and said, "This branch is very thick. It should be enough if we each cut one."
During the felling process, she got some juice on her hands. When she was about to use the cleansing technique to remove it, she unexpectedly found that the fingers that were stained with the juice had disappeared.
She had an idea and painted her entire palm, and then in the projected shadow, the hand disappeared.
It seems that these juices are the secret behind Jianmu's lack of shadow.
If the juice is applied to the Tianzhou, wouldn't the Tianzhou disappear? Wouldn't it be possible to cross the Shenyu River? Is it still necessary to build a boat?
Shen Yizhi told the others about his discovery. Xia Ben said, "Miss Shen, in addition to the sandfish, there is also some kind of restriction in the Shenyu River. Only Jianmu can float on the water and not sink. Even if you apply Jianmu juice on other things, you can't cross it. This is why my master insisted that I use Jianmu to build a boat."
Shen Yizhi: "So that's how it is. Then let's cut more branches so that we don't run out of them later."
* Shenyu River.
Shen Yizhi blew a feather towards the river surface. As soon as it reached the surface of the river, the feather seemed to turn into a heavy stone and fell straight down, sinking into the water and making a small splash.
Chen Yu Chen Yu, her reputation is well-deserved.
She looked around and found that there was not a single flying bird or monster within a few hundred meters.
But this made it easier for them to set up camp.
After a simple meal, Shen Yizhi directed Xia Ben and several men to build a raft.
She wanted to build a boat, after all, riding a boat was more comfortable and safer, but no one present had the ability to do so, so she had to settle for the next best thing, making a raft.
Shen Yizhi contributed his treasured dragon tendons to be used as ropes.
After being tanned by her, the dragon tendons became as tough as magic weapons. Even when she and Xia Ben pulled them like tug-of-war, there was no damage at all.
It sounds simple to make a raft, but it is actually quite difficult to do it. It took almost a day for several people to make one that met the requirements.
Shen Yizhi put the raft into the water and tried it out. It didn't sink! She threw another rabbit onto the raft.
It was the rabbit’s first time to ride on a raft. He huddled up into a ball timidly, not daring to move.
Shen Yizhi threw a handful of grass to the edge of the raft. The rabbit couldn't resist the temptation and slowly jumped over. Its reflection was immediately reflected on the water.
Under the gaze of several people, a fish as long as an arm appeared underwater and spit a bubble at the rabbit shadow on the water.
At the bottom of the bubble there is some fine sand that is as bright and beautiful as water.
Is this the sand that the sandfish spits out? It's so beautiful.
Both Shen Yizhi and Cui Yue were somewhat amazed.
When the bubbles floated up and touched the water surface where the shadow was reflected, the rabbit, who had been staying on the raft, suddenly crushed the raft into the water, and the rabbit disappeared.
The raft resurfaced.
Seeing this scene, several people felt heavy-hearted.
This sand fish is really dangerous.
Min Tianyou even backed out, "How about I not go? I'll just wait here for you guys to come back?"
Although he longed to become a monk, he didn't want to lose his life.
The Chenyu River is so wide that if something goes wrong in the middle, you will sink to the bottom if you fall in and won’t be able to get up.
Cui Yue gave him a look of contempt.
Shen Yizhi continued his experiment, this time placing a rabbit with an invisibility talisman on the raft.
After the invisibility charm was applied, the whole rabbit became invisible. Where was the shadow? Xia Ben exclaimed in surprise: "Invisibility charm, why didn't I think of it!"
