Chapter 202 Can I eat it? (23)
But in fact, Lao Gao was not the only one who was burned. Although Huang Jinghe was wearing a hat all the time, the child always wanted to create a style he liked, so his bangs were left outside.
The fire just now burned Lao Gao's beard, but in fact Huang Jinghe's bangs were not spared either. Now, not only can he not pose properly, but his forehead even seems to be a little burnt.
Looking at the two guys' miserable faces, Lan Jin kept saying, "You two can't be so conceited now, right?"
The two smiled bitterly, and then the military doctor came to them and gave them a quick check of their injuries.
Huang Jinghe's forehead could be cured by simply applying some medicine, but the ice on Lao Gao's face was not suitable for burning with fire, as it would be troublesome if the skin was burned, so the simplest way was to shave off all the beard.
Lao Gao rolled his eyes in pain.
According to Ling Jiang, Lao Gao started growing this beard since he was in junior high school and he never shaved it off completely since then. Now that he has to shave it off completely, it must be heartbreaking for him.
"Why are you so upset? I've always said that beards are dirty and can harbor a lot of viruses. It's just right to shave them off." Ling Jiang said, then turned around and comforted her, "You already have a beard, so why are you worried it won't grow back? In a few months, you'll be a bearded old man again."
Lao Gao glared at him sideways.
However, the beard has been burned, and even if you don't shave it, it will never be the same as before, so it is better to shave it off and grow it again.
It was difficult to shave the beard because there was a layer of ice on top, so this had to be done by a military doctor.
The military doctor said, "I really don't have any idea. I'll do this part-time one day."
When Lao Gao heard this, he couldn't help but think, I never thought that I would shave my beard for this reason.
…
The beard on Lao Gao's face was easy to deal with, and it would be almost done after shaving it in one circle. But his mouth was stuck with ice, and the military doctor really couldn't shave it with a knife.
He said, "Go get some hot water. Just bear with it. You can only use the hot water to separate them bit by bit."
After completely opening his mouth, Lao Gao immediately looked for a mirror to see what he looked like now.
But surprisingly, after shaving his beard... he didn't look much more mature.
Lan Jin whispered in Ling Jiang's ear, "Has he always looked this old? Or is he using his beard to hide his age?"
Ling Jiang was surprised to hear this and didn't know how to respond. After a long pause, she decided to agree, "It should be both."
The commotion just now, coupled with Lao Gao's beard, really kept them busy for a long time. Lan Jin glanced at the time and saw that it was almost 9 o'clock. In order to conserve their energy, no one had the energy to care about Lao Gao's emotions, and they all leaned back in their chairs to rest.
That night, apart from the huge owl, I didn’t see any other magical species. Fortunately, I slept very well.
…
The next day.
They were awakened by a loud noise. Ling Jiang leaned against the window and looked out, and found that several cars had parked next to their car.
Seeing that the other three had woken up, Ling Jiang said, "They must be here to pick up Owl."
Not only that, in fact, the pot on the other side was already cooking today's breakfast, curry noodles, which means yesterday's rice was replaced with noodles. But the curry was definitely a fresh ingredient. After all, in this environment, how could there be leftovers?
As soon as Lan Jin and his three companions got out of the car, the other men had already stuffed the owl they had captured yesterday into the car and drove away without wasting a moment.
Looking at Brother Zhang who was watching them leave, Lan Jin politely greeted him, "Brother Zhang, you're here so early."
Zhang Ge turned around and replied, "It's getting late. Daybreak is almost here. Yesterday, we left at 9 o'clock because we had a lot of things with us on our first trip. Today, everything is normal. We'll leave at 5 o'clock sharp according to the usual time."
It's 4:30 now, which is really only enough time for them to eat.
However, Brother Zhang added, "Since we'll reach the weeding area today, the journey won't be as safe as yesterday. You should all remain vigilant and not act like you did before... like it's a joke."
"We didn't play." Ling Jiang seriously corrected Brother Zhang's words.
But who cares whether you play or not? "Anyway, you must take your life and our lives into consideration."
To be honest, Ling Jiang's speed yesterday was quite fast. Brother Zhang was very confused, but he had too many things to do yesterday and had no time to ask. Now he hurriedly asked, "Last night... was that teleportation?"
Not really, Ling Jiang explained: "No, I used to learn martial arts, so I was very fast. After I got the superpower, my speed is even faster than before, but it's not to the extent of teleportation."
Her teleportation ability is 2-3 meters in 1 second, but even in the past, she could move that far in 2 seconds. If you really calculate it, her speed has indeed increased, but it is far from the level of teleportation.
In her eyes, the ability of teleportation is to move at least 5 meters in one second, so Ling Jiang really thinks that his ability is not called teleportation.
After Ling Jiang's persistence and Lao Gao's personal experience of rapid movement, Zhang Ge was indeed not as persistent as before. "You two are really fast."
But it's more than just speed. If they encounter dangerous situations later and use great force, I'm afraid it will really shock these people.
Of course, they still hope that this 'journey' will not expose too much of their strength.
But whether things will develop as they wish is unknown.
…
After breakfast they set off again.
Just as Brother Zhang expected, the road became more dangerous the closer to the hill where we were weeding.
Only two hours into the journey, they encountered a swarm of...large ants running down the mountain.
Although it is called a large ant, it is actually not as big as an owl. However, compared with the original size of the ant, it is really not small.
These large ants were as big as an adult man's hand. Since there were too many of them, they initially took measures to escape. However, they did not expect that these ants had amazing bite force and moved very fast. Not only did they keep following them, but the faster-running ants even bit their tires directly.
Finally, I was forced to get out of the car to remove the ants.
Lao Gao was much more alert at this moment. He first observed the surroundings to confirm that there was no wind, and then he used his fire ability.
As soon as the fire started, a bunch of ants were immediately roasted and filled with the fragrant aroma.
As soon as Lan Jin opened her mouth, she asked Brother Zhang again, "Are these ants edible? Let me be clear, I don't eat them."
Zhang Ge was speechless with her. "You don't have to ask about every mutant you see, because I don't know if some things are edible."
