"No exchange!" Since this kind of information has risen to the value of "archaeology", she will use it to exchange for important things at the critical moment.
【……】
The exile team walked another five miles and indeed saw a mountain temple.
The temple is very small, with two stone houses and no walls. There is a flat area in front of the temple, which serves as the courtyard.
There is also a stream outside the mountain temple, but there are no fish or shrimp in the stream.
Everyone went to collect firewood, and Zhu Ba cooked dinner. Everyone was so tired that they collapsed on the ground. As for wild vegetables, they didn't have the energy to look for them.
Xie Yanyan took Xiao Baozi, Xie Lingyu and Su Zhe to look for wild vegetables and fruits around the mountain temple.
Xie Ning said to Xie Yong: "Go and protect your sister and the others. Don't go too far."
The mountain is full of treasures. This is an ownerless wild mountain. The common people have searched it countless times, but there are still many good things on the mountain.
After walking around for a while, they actually found some wild melons.
The melon vine is not very long, and there are two small melons as big as fists on the thin vine. They are ripe and very fragrant.
Xie Yanyan immediately collected the small melons and found a prickly eggplant seedling nearby. He suddenly had an idea and transferred two large watermelons and a dozen emerald small melons.
Pretending to be surprised, he called the little bun over and said, "Ah Sheng, do you know this kind of melon?"
The little bun is only three years old. Even though he ate melon last year, he has been on the road of exile this year and has not seen a melon yet!
"Aunt, what is this?"
"The melon is very sweet. Do you want to eat it?"
"Yes."
"Then you can quietly call your second and third uncles over. Auntie can't carry him."
Shouting quietly, this is what children love to do most.
He took a step forward with his short legs and immediately went to look for Xie Yong and Xie Lingyu.
He put his hands together and walked up to the two uncles, saying, "I'll tell you something in secret."
The two of them squatted down and stretched their ears over: "Go ahead."
"There are melons. Auntie said they are very sweet."
As soon as the little bun finished speaking, the two of them immediately stepped on Hot Wheels, picked up the little bun and ran towards Xie Yanyan.
Xie Yanyan had already "picked" the melons and piled them on the open space next to him.
"Sister, the small one is a melon, what is the big one?" Xie Yong and Xie Lingyu had never seen a big watermelon.
It’s too big, this one must be 30 kilograms, right?
Melon? Where can I find such a big melon?
"Big melon!" Xie Yanyan: Desert 888, the sweetness in the center exceeds 18%. What's summer without watermelon?
Xie Yong was extremely impressed with his sister. What kind of luck was this? They both came out to look for food, but all he and Xie Lingyu saw were branches and weeds, yet his sister was able to find so many delicious foods.
Xie Yong brought back a big watermelon. Xie Ning was so excited when he saw it that he quickly followed him back to get the second one.
The others held small melons in their hands.
When we got back to the mountain temple, everyone was shocked. What was this? Could it be eaten?
Xie Yanyan nodded: "Melon, edible."
Xie Ning washed the watermelon, borrowed Zhu Ba's big machete, and cut the big watermelon into pieces on a big rock.
Desert 888 is not a Kirin melon and will not crack if touched.
Xie Ning cut the melon with a big knife, and the red flesh of the melon was revealed.
Many people are scared when they see the fiery red flesh inside. Why does it look like blood?
Xie Ning cut the watermelon, and Xie Yanyan took a piece in his hand and said to the little bun: "Go, get the watermelon for grandfather to eat."
The little boy took a piece and gave it to Xie Anfeng: "Grandfather, eat the melon."
Xie Anfeng was as confused as everyone else. The flesh of the melon was too red, and the juice that flowed out looked like blood.
However, he did not hesitate, he grabbed the watermelon and started eating.
After Xie Jinrong, Xie Anhuai and Old Shen passed away, Xie Jinrong's cousin Xie Jinping felt that "when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king."
He pinched his beard and said, "This is clearly a blood conversion. The seedlings are growing by absorbing the blood of wild animals in the mountains."
"It may also have absorbed the Inferi juice."
The Xie family members were talking at once.
Xie Ning sneered and said, "I didn't treat you guys to a meal, so why are you so chattering?"
Xie Yanyan looked at these people indifferently, wondering what was wrong with their brains? Shouldn't normal people come over and hug their thighs to beg for food?
Hearing the Xie family's nonsense, Tang Zhan ran over and said respectfully, "Miss, can you give me a piece of melon?"
Xie Yanyan: “Get it yourself.”
Tang Zhan took a piece and took a big bite while standing beside the stone table.
The round green rind, the bright red flesh, the refreshing sweetness fills the nose, the bright red flesh dances on the tip of the tongue, and the watermelon seeds are playing hide-and-seek with the teeth.
The juice is like sweet spring water, sweet and refreshing.
No one can resist the charm of watermelon.
Tang Zhan smiled and shouted, "Delicious!"
"Take a few pieces back for your grandfather and sister." Xie Yanyan was not stingy and gave them two big melons.
Li Rong came over and said to Xie Anfeng, "Can I have a piece?"
"Eat it. You're welcome."
Xie Jinping saw how happily they were eating, especially the sweet taste of the watermelon which would evaporate. He wanted to pretend to be great and was resisting from the bottom of his heart, but his children and grandchildren could not help it.
“Grandfather, I want to eat the big melon too.”
"Father, let me go and look for any more."
Li Rong ate the first piece and secretly sighed in his heart, Miss Xie is a demon, right? She found such a delicious melon by just wandering around!
What else to say, keep eating!
Liu Mingjie also ate, and the bailiffs also came to eat. A 30-jin watermelon was finished in the blink of an eye.
Xie Jinping's son and grandson searched for a long time and came back to tell Xie Jinping embarrassedly that they couldn't find it. Xie Jinping turned his face away and ignored them.
Xie Yanyan brought up the second one and tapped it gently. A clear and echoing sound came from it. Xie Yanyan said, "Cut it. It's ripe."
This time when the watermelon was cut, Xie Yanyan called Tang Zhan, Su Moqing and his family over.
“It’s so delicious, so refreshing!”
The watermelon is so sweet and juicy that I can’t even eat dinner.
Many people in the exile team could no longer sit still and went out to look for watermelons.
They didn't know what this melon was called, but since it looked big, sweet and juicy, they spontaneously called it sweet water melon.
Of course you can't find it if you look for it.
Watermelon is not native to China. It took more than 200 years for it to be introduced into the country. Moreover, it is unknown when watermelon freedom will be achieved. No one except Xie Yanyan can enjoy such a feast as today!
As soon as the second watermelon was cut, the sound of horse hooves was heard on the road, and a horse-drawn carriage stopped in the open space in front of the mountain temple.
Everyone saw that the carriage was rich and luxurious, and the servants sitting on the shaft were obviously two martial arts masters.
The door opened and a man got out of the carriage.
acquaintance.
Chu Xiwang.
Xie Yanyan sat there and continued to eat watermelon, ignoring what was happening.
She doesn't want to deal with the people from Shizimen.
Even though she already knew that the Cross Gate was not something he could control, if he hadn't been almost killed by the people from the Cross Gate, he wouldn't be standing in front of her today.
Chu Xiwang strode over, followed by two people, one was Qingshan and the other was someone he didn’t know.
"Fortunately, I found you." Chu Xiwang said politely, "Miss Xie helped me a few days ago, and I haven't thanked her properly yet."
"I've already given the money, so we don't owe each other anything."
"That little bit of silver is really insignificant compared to the grace of saving my life. Besides, your two glass bottles are worth a fortune."
He was talking about the two bottles containing glucose and saline solution.
"Then tell us about the interesting things that happened outside, and it will be worth two bottles."
"good!"
Chu Xiwang was stunned when he heard her request. Two bottles in exchange for a few pieces of news from the outside world?
She clearly doesn't want to have anything to do with me!
However, he immediately agreed.
