Original War

Chapter 358

Although the mountain wall is almost perpendicular to the ground, it is difficult for many people to climb, but to Shao Xuan, it is nothing. .

The old man stood below and watched Shao Xuan leap from the ground and dexterously climb up the mountain wall from below, like a gecko sticking to the wall, looking easy and effortless at all. Seeing such a situation, the old man couldn’t help raising his gray eyebrows and staring at Shao Xuan’s back, his eyes burning.

Shao Xuan, who was climbing up the mountain wall, noticed something, stopped his movement and suddenly looked back, just in time for the old man’s sight.

The old man smiled very amiably, waved his hand to Shao Xuan, pointed to the grass on the mountain wall, and said, “Go on, go on.”

Shao Xuan suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to climb up, then reached out and grabbed the grass, intending to tear it off directly.

“Hey! Don’t talk, don’t talk! Use the dig, the root can last longer. Just dig with my knife, and then!” The old man took out a strange copper knife from the leather bag with the knife, and Shao Xuan threw it over there.

There is so much shit. Shao Xuan’s belly slandered.

Throwing fairly well, Shao Xuan clasped the depression on the mountain wall with one hand, took the knife with the other, and then used the knife to dig the white-striped grass.

The knife looked strange, but it was very suitable for digging this kind of grass that grew on the mountain wall, and it didn’t take long to dig out the grass with its roots.

“Next!” Shao Xuan threw the knife and grass down.

The old man hurried over, ignoring the falling knife, carefully catching the falling grass.

“What do you use this grass for?” Shao Xuan asked when he saw the old man cut a blade of grass and put it in his mouth when he came down from the mountain wall.

“The medicine is useful for bone injuries.” The old man didn’t say much, he just kept chewing the leaf, the muscles on the face twitched, and he swallowed it almost as soon as he chewed. I felt it and felt it was not enough, so I cut off a smaller leaf and continued to chew.

Thinking of the bone injury on the old man’s arm, Shao Xuan wrote down the look of the grass, and when he saw the old man chewing the grass, the expression on his face seemed to be a kind of depressed pain, Shao Xuan asked, “How does it taste?”

The old man didn’t say much, he cut off a small leaf and handed it to Shao Xuan: “Try it?”

“Can you eat without injury?”

“Yes. As long as you don’t eat too much, it’s okay.”

“Okay.” Shao Xuan took the leaves. He didn’t look closely when he dug them. Now he found that the veins of the grass looked flexible, but they were harder than expected after using them, especially the thickest ones with white stripes. At the veins, it seems that a crunchy sound can be made directly by breaking it hard.

After biting the tip of the leaf first, Shao Xuan felt the cool bitterness, but did not find anything wrong with his body, so he bit half of the leaf again and chewed. This time, there are many imported leaf veins, and the strong bitterness suppresses the cool taste.

It’s no wonder that the old man whipped his face straight when he chewed, and was bitter.

The old man originally wanted to watch Shao Xuan’s feet jump in pain, but found that Shao Xuan just frowned, and there was no other expression.

Could it be that the taste is not good? The old man thought. If so, this young man is really pitiful, unable to taste everything in the world.

Ignoring the old man’s thoughts, after Shao Xuan chewed the whole leaf, the bitterness gradually disappeared, and the cooling sensation remained, and the exhaustion of the whole body was eliminated a lot. As for the bones, because there was no bone injury, Shao Xuan’s feeling was not obvious, but it seemed that Some power flows into the bones.

Now that the old man is fine, Shao Xuan intends to leave. This time, as soon as Shao Xuan moved, the old man hurriedly stopped him.

“Hey, wait, are you going there? I’ll be with you.” The old man stood up and carefully put the white striped grass into a cloth bag.

Shao Xuan turned and looked at the old man, without speaking, waiting for the words behind the old man.

“I came here to look for things. Although I don’t know the surroundings, I know more things than you. Don’t think it’s desolate here, but there are a lot of poisonous things. If something happens to you, I can help. You,” the old man said.

“What else?” Shao Xuan asked.

“It’s not that I have mobility problems. If you find something, you can help.” The old man thought it was a very good idea, “Okay, that’s it.”

But Shao Xuan ignored him and continued to follow the planned route.

The old man quickly followed and continued to persuade Shao Xuan.

When the old man’s saliva was almost done, Shao Xuan asked, “What are you looking for here?”

“Looking for…” After the words, the old man seemed to be a little concerned and didn’t want to say it.

“fine.”

Seeing Shao Xuan speeding up and walking forward, the old man stepped forward and sighed: “Have you ever heard of’Thousand Grains of Gold’?”

Thousand grains of gold?

The name has “gold”, but it certainly doesn’t refer to things like gold or metal. Since the old man came here, looking for his behavior, should he find a kind of plant? Since the name has the word “gold”, it either refers to the color or to highlight its preciousness.

Thinking about it, Shao Xuan shook his head and said, “I haven’t heard of it.”

The old man looked at Shao Xuan with an expression of “loneliness and ignorance” and said, “I came to this place to find’thousand grains of gold.’ It grows in barren land with very little rain.”

Food crops?

“So come here to try your luck?” Shao Xuan asked. This place is indeed barren. Although there are streams and springs in the mountains, there is really not much rain in this place and it is arid.

“Yes, we grow food there. The rain has been getting less and less in the past two years. It is said that the drought will last for a few years.” Speaking of this, the old man was deeply moved. But complaining is useless, so I came to these drought-tolerant food crops.

“Aren’t there witches and cowardices? Can’t you ask for rain?” Shao Xuan asked again. I don’t know if the tribe here can beg for rain, but asking this is just a test. Here, in addition to some tribal witchcraft, there are also some independent full-time witchcraft. Many people will pay some compensation to invite such witchcraft to solve some things that others cannot solve.

When the old man heard this sentence, his face became angry: “Don’t mention it, a bunch of rubbish! It’s also the descendants of the ancient witches, who can’t even ask for rain, I am!”

Shao Xuan: “…”

Shao Xuan has seen such a man who dared to “bah” sorcery until now, and he almost belched with hunger. The people of the Maca tribe would never dare to “poach” the witchcraft so much, and most of the people I have seen so far hold a kind of awe of the witchcraft. Except for this one next.

If the rain problem cannot be solved, we can only work on the crops. Regardless of the old man’s temper, it is admirable to travel thousands of miles to find a solution.

“That’thousand gold grain’, what does it look like?” Shao Xuan asked.

“It’s a thousand grains of gold! I haven’t seen it with my own eyes.”

“How can you find if you haven’t seen it?”

“I’ll recognize it when I see it.” The old man didn’t think there was a problem at all.

“By the way, what is your name?” the old man asked.

“Shao Xuan, how old are you?”

“My name is’ju’.” While speaking, the old man wrote the words on the ground with a branch.

The old man did not ask which tribe Shao Xuan was from, he was not interested in which tribe Shao Xuan came from.

Shao Xuan was about to ask again. He wanted to inquire about the Yanjiao tribe from the old man, so he heard the old man suddenly say: “Um, Shao what, take that off for me and have a look.”

“Don’t do it, I’m not your slave.” Shao Xuan said without looking back.

Seeing that Shao Xuan was about to go far, the old man realized that there was a problem with his tone. He quickly slowed down and stepped forward to hold Shao Xuan, “Help me, take that off for me.”
