The villagers have poor living habits and live in an area with so much vegetation and animals, including many small animals.
The cuts on my body are from tick bites; they not only bleed but also itch.
People eat uncultivated fruits and vegetables, even those infested with insects, and they don't know how to make cured meat properly, even thinking that eating a few insects won't cause any problems.
Zhao Xi's decision to return surprised the old village chief.
This time, instead of leaving food, she decided to give them fish.
She had Lin Che gather edible wild vegetables, bark, leaves, mushrooms, and other ingredients from the forest, and then, in front of everyone, she taught them how to cook delicious and healthy food.
The women made notes using charcoal and twigs, while others stood nearby, silently memorizing the notes.
The men, holding the cooking utensils Zhao Xi wanted to give them, were studying how to make similar pottery here.
Lin Che threw some tiny fish fry into the stream in the forest. The fish fry will eat the insect eggs in the stream, thus purifying the water.
They are also very ignorant.
Zhao Xi rummaged through the basket Lin Che had given her and found some taro: "Isn't this taro? With such good ingredients, why eat those other odds and ends? This can be eaten simply by boiling it."
Taro has roots and buds, so it can be cultivated as a seed.
The villagers didn't believe it.
The old village chief pulled her aside before explaining the story behind it.
An ancestor once choked to death on taro, and it was said to be an unlucky food, so all the taro was left unharvested, and any that grew were smashed and thrown away.
Zhao Xi then pulled Lin Che over, had him hold the taro in both hands, pretended to smear some spiritual energy on the taro, and casually chanted some incantations, which was considered as "consecrating" the taro.
This trick really worked.
The villagers prostrated themselves on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, expressing their gratitude to the heavens for sending a deity to save them from their suffering.
Zhao Xi readily agreed: "You must remember, this is the Water God!"
Lin Che looked at her helplessly.
I only stayed in Xiangmu Village for half a day, but I taught them everything I needed to. The rest is up to the villagers' own destiny.
There were too many mosquitoes here, so it wasn't a good time to stay. Before the moon came out, Lin Che took her away.
It's a rare treat to be able to go out for a walk.
On the way back, Lin Che took her to watch the sunrise, see the waterfall, fly to the top of the snow mountain to enjoy the scenery, and eat and drink in the mortal town.
The immortal's sword was fast and steady, shortening the journey and allowing them to visit one scenic spot after another. They didn't even have to wait in line for a table at the inn. They would just give the waiter a trick and leave him a pearl, which would cost several times the price of the meal.
Three days passed.
They returned to the zoo.
A teahouse has been built at the foot of the mountain in the Hundred Beasts Garden.
Human cultivators were managing the place, and there were also a few unfamiliar faces—immortals from other cities who had come here to drink tea and play Go.
And on a square tea table.
The game of mahjong is coming to an end.
Wu Tuba: "Ten thousand."
Luo Haiqing: "I won!"
Saliyah: "Old man, did you secretly hide the cards?"
Blindfolded, Wanwan silently identified the location for a while, then nodded and said softly, "In the crotch."
Salia exploded: "You shameless old man!"
Luo Haiqing: "A bet's a bet! Hand over the spirit stones!"
Wanwan silently took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands.
Saliyah, of course, refused and grabbed Luo Haiqing by the collar, intending to punch him.
But Old Luo was indeed lucky.
The headmaster's appearance saved him from this physical punishment.
Zhao Xi thought, "Why...are you...playing mahjong here...?"
stunned.
Enraged!
Zhao Xi wanted to cry out in anguish: "Wanwan, how could you join these scoundrels in their depravity! You're the mother of so many little white bats!"
Wanwan bowed her head in repentance.
Wu Tuba chimed in, "Don't blame her. We were just one short for the three of us and didn't want to disturb the child's cultivation, so we invited her."
Zhao Xi was about to explode: "No, that's not the point! Why aren't you at the Wuji Sect?!"
Luo Haiqing took out a list: "The Wuji Sect won't let us in, saying that our names don't match the list. But don't worry, Headmaster, I paid 10,000 spirit stones as a fee for the trial to be recorded. We just need to go in and pass the trial before the fourth day. I think once the True Immortal returns, there will definitely be a way."
The other three seconded the motion.
Zhao Xi was speechless.
It's obvious that Luo Haiqing doesn't want to go in.
She had seen this list before; it was the one that Miaoyin had secretly registered for the Hundred Beasts Garden after disguising herself as Rongrong.
The list includes: Rongrong, Xingye, Xiaojia, Xiaoding, and Zhao Xixiang.
Moreover, there are no realm levels.
The Wuji Sect is using them as human shields this time, and they don't care about impersonation at all.
Maybe it's just a ploy to swindle spirit stones. Seeing that he could have a couple of days of peace, Luo Haiqing returned with the others.
never mind.
It would be good to let Xiao Jia and Xiao Ding stay in the Beast Garden and train for a couple more days.
Lin Che suggested, "It is said that the trial grounds are the same as the Wind and Thunder Grasslands, so perhaps we could go and try our luck there."
Zhao Xi felt relieved: "Okay, then let's rest for a few more days and go on the second day of the Lunar New Year."
There are still more than two weeks left.
Perhaps seeing that there were enough people and abundant spiritual energy in the animal park, Saliyah's brothers brought in more than twenty dogs and several cats.
Haiye was unaware of the large number of cats and dogs here. She had only heard Meimei complain about the loneliness and assumed that Shanshan and Xingye had left, making the place quite deserted. So she sent a group of demon cultivators on a stop-and-go journey, bringing dozens of cubs with spiritual roots and a huge sum of spirit stones.
Most of them are birds, including kingfishers, sparrows, doves, egrets, geese, and some small animals such as hedgehogs, rabbits, and squirrels.
