Chapter 54 Going Out to Pick Fruit
The aircraft was stored away as soon as it landed, but even so, a gray rat still rushed over. These gray rats are small and fast, and their attack power is not high, but they are troublesome when they come in groups.
Wild beasts are easily attracted to and attacked by high-tech products; the greater the power, the easier it is to attract higher-level beasts.
However, these small beasts were no problem for Chen Xingheng. The newly emerged white tiger slapped one of them away.
After finishing, it shook its fur and tilted its head to look at Gu Qing. Gu Qing was about to reach out and stroke its fur when Chen Xingheng hugged it and took it away.
The tiger growled as if it had received some command, then leaped up and disappeared into the bushes. Seeing this, Chen Xingheng checked Gu Qing's equipment and clothing.
After he finished checking the bushes, a huge tiger's head emerged and roared twice. Chen Xingheng quickly pulled Gu Qing's mask tighter.
Then I led her into the bushes, and while I stood sideways to shield her from the branches, I chopped at them with my hands.
Although it's clear that someone must have walked here before, the exotic plants grow exceptionally fast and have now completely covered up the traces of their passage.
Gu Qing held his right hand, and in her left hand she held a specially made short sword. When she swung the short sword forcefully, it made contact with the branches of the bushes.
There was a lot of resistance coming from above. Although I managed to cut the branch, my palms must have been red from the heat, and they still feel a bit numb.
"Qingqing, you don't need to. Just stay behind me and I'll clear the way." Although he knew Gu Qing was wearing gloves, he didn't want her to have to work hard.
Gu Qing loosened and tightened her grip on the knife a few times to ease the feeling in her hand. "Xingheng, I don't want you to work too hard. I will do what I can."
Gu Qing thought that she should always get some practice so that she wouldn't be too helpless if something happened.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not tired. If I were, why would I have brought you out? Be good and don't make me feel bad."
Seeing his expression, Gu Qing had no choice but to agree, but she would still do what she was supposed to do, just not as recklessly as the first time.
Occasionally, I would pick out the less thick branches and try to chop them; it wasn't too bad. I walked like this for almost an hour.
Even a gray rat on the road will be swatted away with a single paw.
"There are far fewer gray rats lately. Last time we came here, they were in swarms. Although they are not very aggressive, they are still quite annoying."
Chen Xingheng was afraid she would be scared, so he tried to talk as much as possible.
Having just entered a valley, looking back now, we realized that a large grove of shrubs had completely blocked the entrance to the valley.
In addition, there are occasional attacks by small animals, so very few people venture inside, and therefore very few people know about this valley.
Gu Qing stood in the valley, looking at the flowers blooming in profusion, and couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!"
He tried to run over, but Chen Xingheng stopped him and kicked the big white tiger lying to the side.
Just as the white tiger was about to walk into the valley, it sneezed, but still walked in with steady steps.
In a short while, the once quiet sea of flowers suddenly sprang to life, as if water had been poured into a frying pan, with all sorts of flowers, birds, insects, and snakes scurrying out.
Even the flowers were swaying and shaking their heads. It took a long time for the tiger to emerge from the flower bushes, sneeze, shake its head, and then come over to rub against Gu Qing's leg.
This time it was smarter. When Chen Xingheng was on the right, it ran to Gu Qing's left and rubbed against her. Chen Xingheng led Gu Qing directly into the sea of flowers.
Gu Qingwei closed his eyes briefly and then opened them again. The originally colorful and dazzling flowers appeared as shades of gray in his eyes, with one occasionally showing a light glow.
Gu Qing knew that those were pure flowers. Pure flowers could be used to make medicine and cosmetics, depending on the effects of the plant itself.
To reiterate, in this world, even if a pure exotic plant or beast is poisonous, it's still a treasure. And a purifying exotic plant, being inherently non-toxic, coupled with its special characteristics, makes it even more precious.
"Xingheng," Gu Qing said softly, "help me pick that light red flower."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a thud at her feet. A moment later, the big white tiger came over with the flower in its mouth, blinking its eyes and acting cute.
Gu Qing couldn't resist this time and kissed its big head. Chen Xingheng was furious. He had sent this guy out to keep watch, so it could protect Qingqing's retreat in case of danger.
I never expected this guy to come out here to compete for my affections, and he even learned how to give me flowers.
Gu Qing took the flower, looked at it, cut off a three-inch section from the bottom of the flower, and then put it in an energy box.
"Although the energy box can keep things fresh, it's better to use a food storage container for true preservation." Chen Xingheng assumed she liked the flower and wanted to keep it.
Gu Qing glanced at him, then continued packing the flowers. "I picked this flower not because it's pretty, but because it's a pure exotic plant."
"Ah!" Chen Xingheng was only stunned for a moment before accepting it calmly. "Qingqing is great."
This time it was Gu Qing's turn to be stunned, then she revealed a sweet smile, "You trust me that much!" Why did you ask?
"I'll listen to what Qingqing says, but it's okay if she doesn't. Qingqing won't hurt me anyway."
Gu Qing glared at him and shoved the energy box into his arms. "Then help me test it and see if there's any poison in it."
Chen Xingheng did as instructed, and the test results showed that it was a non-toxic, pure plant. He was about to praise his wife a few more times.
Then Gu Qing covered her eyes with her hand and said, "I can cover my eyes with energy and then I can tell which is the pure plant and which is the purifying plant."
These plants looked to me like fluorescent objects, but I couldn't confirm their specific effects.
