Chapter 57: 57 Red Fruit
"What should we do with these two monsters?" Jiang Jie pointed at the lion-like monster.
"Let's drag it back to the car first. Fortunately, we have two cars, otherwise it wouldn't be able to fit all of it." Rong Xianxian said with a smile.
"Yeah! I wonder what the meat of this monster tastes like? Now I eat the meat of these monsters that can increase spiritual energy. The vacuum-packed original chicken and pork don't taste good anymore. Monster meat is still more satisfying." Wang Lin smacked his lips and recalled the taste of yesterday's hot pot.
They cut and dissected the monster, removed the bones and took out the meat. Several of them were familiar with this and their movements were quick and efficient. They quickly packed the meat, skin and bones separately, covered the bloodstains, put the valuables back into the car, hid the car, and began to explore along the path into the depths of the woods.
This exploration really gave her many surprises. There were the Gleditsia sinensis and Tripterygium wilfordii for reducing swelling and dispersing nodules, the Salvia miltiorrhiza and Ligusticum chuanxiong for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, the most common dandelion and Viola yedoensis for clearing away heat and detoxifying, and the Pueraria root for nourishing yin, clearing heat, promoting body fluid and quenching thirst. Rong Xianxian picked up those that were nourished by spiritual energy and turned into spiritual medicines, and collected some of the good ones.
Rong Xianxian also discovered many edible wild vegetables and some brightly colored but poisonous wild mushrooms.
The fresh vegetables had been eaten long ago. Rong Xianxian was very happy looking at these juicy wild vegetables. She thought of several recipes in her mind. She coated them with dry flour, steamed them to make wild vegetable dumplings, and then mixed them with mashed garlic, sesame sauce and vinegar as condiments to dip them in.
Make another dish of wild vegetable dumpling soup, sprinkle with dried scallops, dried shrimps, and black and white pepper. You can also stir-fry wild vegetables with meat or stir-fry wild vegetables with sausage. So many wild vegetables can supplement the plant fiber.
While imagining, Rong Xianxian took out a large plastic bag and collected the fruits happily. She also called Cui Lie and the others to pick them together, feeling the joy of a harvest.
After the great changes in heaven and earth and the revival of spiritual energy, people seemed to have returned to the days of hunting and gathering like their ancestors.
Of course, production will slowly resume in the safe zone in the future, but there will also be a lot of monster hunters.
The difference between ordinary people, adventurers and cultivators was already obvious one year after the end of the world.
"Sister Rong, look what this is, what a beautiful flower?" Wang Qirui shouted excitedly.
Rong Xianxian looked in the direction of the sound, and less than half a meter in front of Wang Qirui, there was a clear, translucent and exotic flower blooming. In the sunlight that filtered through layers of leaves, the flower sparkled like jade, shining brightly.
Wang Qirui was just about to bend down to take a closer look at the emerald-like flower, when he saw a cluster of black, messy weeds next to the flower.
"Stand there and don't move. Don't come any closer," Rong Xianxian shouted at Wang Qirui.
Wang Qirui immediately stopped and looked at Rong Xianxian with a little confusion.
Rong Xianxian walked over and stretched a long branch towards the emerald flower. With three whooshing sounds and a "crack", the tough branch was tightly entangled by several green shadows and broke with a snap.
Wang Qirui took a few steps back. Those green shadows turned out to be some strange-looking green snakes.
The strange green snake was covered with a layer of fine scales, with bright red patterns on its head. Its vertical pupils flashed with ferocious light, making it look enchanting and weird.
"Swish, swish, swish" the plum blossom dart in Xia Kai's hand firmly nailed into the seven inches of the snake's body.
Rong Xianxian put on gloves and put the dead green snakes into a bag. Snake soup is delicious. Of course, the main reason why Rong Xianxian put them away is for their venom sacs.
"Everyone be careful, there may be other green snakes," Rong Xianxian called on everyone to form a defensive formation.
"I just passed by here, why didn't I see any flowers?" Jiang Jie looked at Wang Qirui in confusion.
"I was a little bored just now, so I was playing with some weeds with a branch, and I accidentally pulled away the black weeds, and then I saw this flower. Green flowers are rare! And it's such a beautiful flower. Have you seen it? Do you know what flower this is?" Wang Qirui turned his gaze to Rong Xianxian.
"What kind of grass is this? Did someone deliberately use it to cover up the flowers?" Wang Qirui asked, pointing at the patch of black weeds.
"There's another patch here, and there's one here as well." Wang Lin said, pointing to another patch of black grass.
"Black grass covers the emerald jade, and a green snake guards the red fruit," Rong Xianxian muttered silently.
"What?" Rong Xianxian's voice was so soft that Wang Lin, who was closest to her, didn't hear it clearly, so he asked in confusion.
"It's nothing. Xuanxuan and Xiaoluo, just sit down. Everyone, look for dead branches nearby and pat the surrounding grass to see if there are any other small snakes like this." Rong Xianxian reminded.
After confirming that there were no other green snakes, Rong Xianxian carefully uncovered the patch of black weeds, and a strange sweet fragrance immediately wafted out.
Under this clump of black grass is a field of bright red fruits.
Rong Xianxian looked at the field of red fruits in front of her with great shock. She didn't expect that there would be such a field of red fruits in the suburbs just outside the city.
This piece of red fruit is worth a lot of money.
The red fruit grows in soil rich in spiritual energy. This medicine was not included in the Chinese medicine textbooks that Rong Xianxian originally studied. This medicine is a holy medicine for healing wounds. Although it is not effective enough to bring the dead back to life, it has a very miraculous effect in regenerating flesh, nourishing blood, healing wounds and prolonging life.
One year later, Zhu Guo was always among the top ten common medicinal herbs on the medicinal herb bounty list in the base.
Zhu Guo's companion beast, the green snake, is extremely poisonous, small in size, and good at sneak attacks, but it is a relatively easy companion beast to deal with. It's just that Zhu Guo's growth environment is unknown, so it is hard to find.
These red fruits are gorgeous, crystal clear, and plump. They have clearly reached maturity and are quietly waiting to be picked.
"This is good stuff. Cui Lie and Wang Qirui, you two should be on guard, and everyone else should pick it together. Be careful to handle it with care. Xiao Luo, you should be gentle when picking it." Rong Xianxian directed everyone to work together.
Rong Xianxian pretended to reach into the backpack behind her, but actually took out two large glass bottles of juice from the sachet and asked everyone to put the red fruits they picked into the glass bottles.
Zhuguo can only be stored in glass bottles, crystal bottles, or jade bottles.
Rong Xianxian had neither a jade bottle nor a crystal bottle in her hand, but fortunately she had quite a few glass bottles.
All medicines are poisonous to some extent, which means that you should not take too much medicine. However, this Zhu fruit can replenish qi and blood, repair hidden injuries of muscles and bones. It is one of the few medicinal herbs that can be used as food and has no side effects.
There are so many here. Keep half of it to make pills and ointments later, and use the rest to make soup or boil water.
It's so luxurious! Even the top leaders of the base may not have such treatment.
Rong Xianxian looked at the mechanical watch on her wrist. It was almost two o'clock.
Even though she had secretly smuggled a lot of things into the sachets, the car was still full and there was almost no room left, so she asked everyone to load the car and prepare to go back.
