Chapter 67 Pregnant Fruit
Chapter 67 Pregnant Fruit
It was at night when Nagu and the others ran out, and they didn't choose a path. They just buried their heads in the south and walked all the way until dawn.The abandoned forest is so big that Nagu doesn't know every road, but he firmly believes that he can walk out in a straight line.
At this time, the two groups of people merged into a group and headed into the woods, which was much darker than it looked from the outside.The biggest difference between this forest and other places is that it is very quiet.I didn't see the usual small animals, not even half a bird.
Some people can't stand it anymore after walking for a while, and there is no sound after walking in the deep forest for a long time, which makes people breathless.
"Hey, I said, why is it so quiet in this forest?" A short man in a short gray leather skirt said to the tall man next to him, scratching his chicken coop hair.
"It's a little bit." The tall man looked around, except for the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, there was only the sound of a group of them walking. If a person walked in the forest like this, even the group of men would feel scared.
"I don't know when I'll be able to get there." Thinking that a python would appear here at any moment, the short man grabbed a handful of sulfur powder from the leaf bag behind him and rubbed it on his naked upper body, as if he would put it on like this. With a protective cover, you can be safe and sound.He wiped it off by himself, grabbed another handful and gave it to the person next to him, "Do you want some too?"
The tall man saw the yellow-white powder on his chest falling down with his walking pace, and shook his head firmly, "No need."
"Hey, that's good, tell me when you want it." The short man put the straw bag back into the basket, and the tall man glanced at it casually, good guy, there is another green grass bag like this in it.
The woods seem to be inherently cloudy and cold. It is supposed to be summer now, and the sun is hanging overhead. After walking for such a long time, everyone must sweat a little, but after walking for such a long time, everyone is still chilly. Not hot at all.
Xu Fei lay on Nagu's back and looked up at the sky.In the sky where the dark green leaves are exposed, even the sun seems to be far away.It feels like when a person is underwater and looks up at the sky, although he can see the sun, he can't feel the temperature.This forest seemed to be wrapped in a transparent membrane, and no heat could penetrate it.
It's just that everyone was concentrating on their way at this time, and didn't notice this little strangeness at all. What everyone was most worried about now was whether the giant python that could eat people as easily as drink water would suddenly appear. As for whether it was hot or not Whether it is cold or not, as long as the temperature does not suddenly drop to winter, no one will notice it.
With Baibai Baibai present, they were the ones who took the lead, and Nagu fell in the middle with Xu Fei on his back, not far or near.Fat Jiu hopped and followed beside Bai Dae, while Babu and Watu walked around Nagu.The pregnant woman is a first-class protected animal, and the two of them walked on the left and right, which also meant to protect Xu Fei.
There was no special movement along the way, but Father Bai's brows never relaxed.A place that is too peaceful is the strangest place. There is no such dead silence in any forest.Moreover, Nagu and the others are sure that the python nest and the white-haired priest are inside. The group of them said no more, no less. They walked in so mightily without hiding their whereabouts. Python will not be unaware.
This made Dad Bai, who had sharpened his knife and prepared to fight, very upset. Damn, I was ready to fight, but the opponent didn't know where to hide, and it made him bloody and excited for a long time in vain.
Babu looked at Xu Fei and Nagu, and then at Watu on the opposite side. Seeing that everyone was silent, his mouth was still closed.
The crowd circled around again and came to the creek that Nagu and Xu Fei found yesterday. They walked along the creek for a while, and several fruit trees with colorful fruits jumped in front of them.Xu Fei looked at the fruit tree that he thought he couldn't eat at first and gave up, and then looked at the tasteless ginkgo fruit in the thorn bush next to him, sometimes common sense can be deceiving.
"Wait!" Papa Bai, who never spoke much, suddenly stopped, not only everyone, but also Papa Bai looked at him inexplicably.
"What's the matter?" Papa Bai saw his old man crawling into the thorn bush, and followed curiously.
"I didn't expect there to be pregnant fruits in this place!" Papa Bai picked a bunch of ginkgo fruits, and there was a rare excited trill in his voice.
"Pregnant fruit?!" This time, even Father Bai widened his peach eyes, picked a fruit and looked at the sun, and sure enough, he saw a shadow like a heart in the small fruit, and he didn't look carefully at the light. I can't find it yet.
When the people behind heard the word "conceived fruit", they surrounded it with excited expressions, but they didn't dare to reach out to pick it. To be precise, they were not afraid, but reluctant.
This is the fruit of pregnancy. It is rumored that males eat the holy fruit that can change gender, conceive offspring, and be blessed by the god of nature.For a moment, some people thought that even if they didn't kill the giant python, it was worth it. As long as they brought this fruit back, it would not be so difficult for their tribe to breed offspring.
After finally convincing the big man to let him go to the ground, Xu Fei...
He ate this thing as a meal back then, could it be some kind of rare item?Don't mention the taste of red grass fruit, it's not even comparable to ordinary fruits!
"What's so special about this fruit?" Xu Fei leaned over with a humanoid crutch, "I ate some, and the taste wasn't that special."
As soon as he spoke, more than 40 pairs of eyes turned to look at him in unison, all eyes contained too many emotions, even Nagu looked at his wife's expression, which was hard to describe in words.
"How much did you eat?" Papa Bai carefully handed the pregnant fruit to Papa Bai, looked at Xu Fei and asked, with a little anxiety in his voice, "Do you have any discomfort?"
Xu Fei thought Papa Bai probably thought he ate the fruit yesterday, so he drew a half-basket area with his hands, "That's about the same, but that was last summer."
For a while, Papa Bai opened his mouth, but no words came out. After a while, he found out a sentence: "You are so lucky!"
Xu Fei didn't understand why he said that, but when he thought that he survived the plane crash and found the love of his life, he nodded, he was really lucky.
"Xu Fei..." Nagu couldn't help calling him from the side. He really wanted to say that I now know why you changed from male to female, but thinking about it, my wife should know soon, so he still shut up On the mouth.
Xu Fei raised his head and glanced at the big man who turned his head to look at the scenery after calling him, feeling puzzled.
Due to Dad Bai's unintentional publicity yesterday, everyone knew that Xu Fei was pregnant, and now they knew that he had eaten a pregnancy fruit. Although it was a year ago, they also believed the legend. His eyes on the unremarkable clump of ginkgo were even more eager.If it wasn't for Papa Bai standing in front of the thorn bushes, they probably couldn't resist picking a few and hiding them.
Naturally, Papa Bai would not ignore their eagerly looking eyes. He put away his usual smiling face and glanced at everyone seriously, "Don't rush, listen to me first."
Although Dad Bai always has a smile on his face, and he is very gentle and pleasant when he speaks, but everyone has seen his double thorns, and he is no gentler than Dad Bai when stabbing a snake. All of them withdrew their eager gazes, waiting for Papa Bai to speak.
"Just now I said that Xu Fei was lucky, not that he ate the pregnant fruit, but that he did not die after eating so many pregnant fruits, and successfully transformed into a female." After speaking, Dad Bai gave Xu Fei a helpless look. , "You all know that pregnant fruit can make males change sex and females increase the chance of conception, but you don't know that half of this bunch of fruits will kill you immediately."
All things generate and restrain each other, and the gods of nature will not break this rule.This pregnant fruit can be regarded as a gift, and it can also be said to be a gift.If you eat it, you are betting on the half and half chance.Xu Fei ate less than half of the basket, but didn't eat a single poisonous one. This is really unbelievably lucky.
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard Papa Bai's words, but they had never heard that the fruit of pregnancy can eat dead people.
As for Xu Fei, who ate half of the basket of fruit, his mood now is only hehe.Hehe, it turns out that he was indeed a public servant before!
Babu is still young, and he is not afraid of Bai Da Bai Bai Da, he said directly: "We never heard that eating pregnant fruit will kill people?" That look is clearly that you are not teasing us, right?
Father Bai glared at Babu, suspecting that he was always attacking.Looking at the group of people who were still discussing enthusiastically over there, he casually threw the bunch of fruits in his hand, "If you want to die, just eat a few and try."
The servants of the gods stepped aside consciously, they still believed what their boss said, and besides, it was too easy for them to have children, so they didn't want to court death.
The male of the Dahe tribe who received the fruit was holding the fruit like a bomb, not daring to move at all, and stiffened like a wooden man for a moment, which made people look funny.
When the fruit was really in their hands, they were not so eager. They moved over to take a closer look, but no one took it.After reading it, they all consciously returned to their original positions, looked at Papa Bai who was clearly more detailed than they knew, and begged for an explanation.Poor person holding the fruit, his hands were frozen and he didn't dare to move, and even the expression on his face looked like it was covered with 520 glue.
Papa Bai looked at the people who had finally become honest, and then explained: "The pregnant fruit originally came from near our tribe, and was regarded as a forbidden fruit by us, because it would kill people if eaten. Then one day, all the fruits withered and died, and we No more guarding." This is also the reason why Papa Bai and Heli said that we are all the same, because he himself is not a servant of the gods, so Papa Bai is usually in charge.
It is said that they belong to the same family, but it is just that they live in the deepest forest in the north, and the fruit of pregnancy grows near there, so the burden of guarding and admonishing everyone is automatically taken over.In his generation, for unknown reasons, a large number of pregnant fruits died, and in the end there was no one left, so they disbanded on their own and did not stick to one side.He was the father Bai who met at that time when he was traveling, and he really didn't know each other.
"Are you Bei Xiao?" There were a few well-informed people in this group, and when they heard Papa Bai's words, someone immediately thought of this name.The Beixiao clan is stationed in the northernmost bitter forest, and they are fighters guarding the pregnant fruit.None of their clan had a name, and they were all called Bei Xiao.
Papa Bai didn't expect anyone to know this, so he nodded in surprise.
Unexpectedly, Papa Bai would be unhappy, "Why is Bei Xiao not Bei Xiao, he is my male now!" Halfway through speaking, he glanced at his peach blossom eyes, and said to Papa Bai: "Or do you still want to go back to your bird? In the shitty woods?" It took a lot of effort to get Papa Bai here, they were the toughest and most stubborn people Papa Bai had ever seen, but luckily the bastard came back with him in the end.
"Don't dare." Papa Bai smiled, he was very innocent.
After listening to Papa Bai's words, everyone turned from excited to trembling to bitter expressions. It turns out that the legends are half true and half false. For a while, I really don't know what to do with the bunch of treasures in front of me.
"Don't forget the purpose of our coming here. This thing grows here and can't run away. Whenever anyone can't think about it, just pick a few and try it." Father Bai always spoke with a poisonous tongue, and one sentence made everyone even more sad. .
But there are always people in need, even if there is a half chance of dying, there are still people who are willing to give it a try.Everyone silently wrote down the location of Yunguo, and followed Father Bai on the road again.
Xu Fei was put on the back by Nagu again, and closed his eyes with complicated emotions.
"Hey, Xu Fei, what does the pregnant fruit taste like?" Babu saw that he couldn't eat it casually, so he couldn't help but curiously asked the only person here who had tasted it.
Watu on the side also looked over curiously, waiting for Xu Fei's answer with great interest.
"It's better than red grass fruit." Xu Fei opened his eyes depressed and said nonsense, and Babu beside him swallowed unconsciously, and looked back at the fruit with reluctance, not saying anything else, just the taste Made him want to try it.
Watu chuckled on the side, he remembered that Xu Fei said that the fruit was nothing special before, so why is it so delicious now.
Xu Fei cast a glance at Watu, and then looked at the greedy Babu at the side, worried that this silly boy would eat it someday, and added: "I lied to you, that thing has no taste , don't eat indiscriminately."
Babu's eyes widened. He didn't expect Xu Fei, who was always serious, to be deceiving, with an unbelievably hurt expression on his face.
Looking at Babu's face that looked like a puppy being raped, Xu Fei felt a lot more relieved.
Nagu, who was silently working as a means of transportation below, saw that they were chatting enthusiastically, and couldn't help turning his head and kissing Xu Fei's chin. His wife didn't talk to him, so he looked for a sense of presence by himself.
Xu Fei...
Watu and Babu, who happened to see this scene...
After crossing the creek, they were closer to their destination, and it seemed that they would not be able to walk much longer before they could reach the place where they jumped from the female bird.With the guidance of Nagu and Feijiu, many detours were avoided, and their traveling efficiency improved a lot.It's just that the road behind will not be so peaceful anymore.
