The crew of One Piece all want to blame me

Looking at the unguarded entrance to the cave, Allen squatted down slightly speechlessly and put one of Hill's arms around his shoulders, and used both hands to help the person up.

"We can't leave now, let's hide there."

Allen pointed to a more hidden place in the cave and walked there with Yaying and Hill.

After putting Hill down, he signaled Yaying to stay here, and went alone behind the rock where they were hiding just now to make some simple disguises.

However, this disguise is not to cover up their traces, but to make the traces clearer, allowing the mercenaries to know at a glance that someone has just been hiding here.

Then Allen made several disguises at the door and returned to Yaying and Hill, whispering that he would wait for the opportunity.

Yaying nodded and chose to believe Allen.

After about ten minutes, the group of mercenaries returned here as expected.

"What kind of flowers are there? They look the same and look pretty."

"There are so many growing in such a deserted place, they must be wild flowers. Apart from that, where did these two go?"

"We followed the sound clearly, but we didn't see anyone? There's something wrong."

"Do you remember when that voice came?"

"It seems... when he was going to check out the rock?"

The five mercenaries seemed to understand something immediately, and hurriedly came to the back of the rock with annoyed expressions. Sure enough, I saw signs that someone had been hiding, and they all ran out of the cave.

"Let them run away! If I had known, I would have left a few to watch the entrance of the cave!"

"What's the point of talking about this?! Chase!"

Yaying, who was hiding in the dark, blinked her eyes and watched the mercenaries unconsciously plunge into the trap set by Allen.

"They left?"

"Hill, are you awake? Can you move around?"

Yaying was slightly surprised and reached out to help Hill up, letting him lean on the rock behind her.

"Drink some water first."

Allen handed the water glass to Hill and asked him to take a sip first to moisten his throat. Hill thanked him and took it, taking a sip of warm sweet water which surprised him.

As if it was specially prepared for him, the warm water had a faint herbal aroma. After drinking it, his brain, which was confused due to fatigue, became much clearer.

Seeing Hill's hesitant expression, could Allen tell him that this was a herbal tea specially designed to relieve fatigue? So I just smiled and found an excuse.

"Healthy tea."

"......"

"Those mercenaries probably won't come back. We can rest here for a while. But...can we go deeper into the cave?"

After hearing the group of mercenaries say "flowers that look like the same", Allen instantly understood what kind of plant it was. Driven by the herbalist's instinct to love plants, Allen finally couldn't help but want to dig up a few.

Of course, Hill and Yaying had no doubts. After resting for a while, they followed Allen and walked deeper into the cave.

This cave is like a passage, with twists and turns leading to the end. They knew they had arrived when they saw the light ahead.

They had to close their eyes for a while to adjust from a dark place to a place with direct sunlight. Once their eyes adjusted to the sunlight, they were shocked by the beauty before them.

This is a medicinal herb field on the edge of a cliff. Under the sunshine, the white clusters of the plants move with the wind, bringing bursts of comforting sweet fragrance. At another glance, the sea of ​​white flowers, the endless blue sea, and the elegant and sweet fragrance that touches the mind merge into a beautiful painting.

“This place is so beautiful..”

"Well, the fragrance of this flower is also very good. What kind of flower is this?"

Seeing that Allen had squatted down and started digging the flowers from the roots to the stems, Hill asked with interest.

"This is called suge grass. It is a rare medicinal herb. Try it."

After saying that, Allen picked off a white ball and handed it to Hill and Yaying.

The two of them took the soft white dough and ate it without any doubt. The white dough melted in their mouths. The unique fragrance and non-greasy sweetness made the two of them curl their lips slightly in happiness.

"Delicious, right?"

Allen knew the taste of sugar grass, so he didn't eat it. Seeing these two people's eyes light up after eating sugar grass, it was clear that they liked the taste very much.

"It's delicious! It's just like sugar grass, but not as sweet. I think I can eat this flower field by myself."

As she spoke, Yaying knelt down and picked the sugar grass that Allen had just picked for them. She ate it with relish, not forgetting to give Hill a few balls.

One sage grass was not enough for the two of them to take a few bites, so Yaying naturally reached out to pick the herbs next to her. However, she was stopped by Allen before she could take action.

"Don't touch that grass, it's not sugar grass."

"Yeah? Isn't it?"

Yaying frowned for a while and looked at the 'Suga grass' that Allen was not allowed to eat. After looking at it for a long time, she didn't know what was different. Hill, who was squatting next to her, said with some uncertainty.

"Is the rhizome a different color?"

"Yes. Look at the rhizomes of the herbs close to the ground. Sugar grass is a lighter dark green, while that grass is dark green. It's just a slight color difference."

Alan has never been a stingy person, so he immediately told them how to identify sugar grass, and then asked them to confirm it before eating it.

"So...is this...?"

After Allen and Hill's prompts, Yaying gradually understood the subtle color difference between the two grasses.

Sugargrass is a medicinal herb, but in fact it has little medicinal properties. Eating it casually will not put a load on the body. So it is generally used in cooking, such as desserts.

Hearing Allen talk about dessert, Yaying suddenly realized.

"'A feast of wonderful sour and sweet flavors'?!"

"....right."

The name of this berry egg tart is a bit long, and it was only Yaying and Linda who remembered the name. Whether it was Allen, Seth, or Cecile, they all called this berry egg tart, sometimes also called feast egg tart. During this period, the full name of feast egg tart was almost never mentioned.

"Why do you have to dig up that grass? Isn't it inedible?"

Hill had never tasted the Feast Egg Tart, so he had no comment on their last conversation. But when he saw Allen carefully digging out two sage grass and then starting to dig out another unknown grass, he couldn't help but asked in confusion.

"This plant is called 'Niga Grass', and it is a poisonous weed that grows together with 'Suge Grass'. They live together and die together. That's why we herbalists call them 'Yunmist Double Grass'."

"Yunwu Shuangcao... I have never heard of it."

"Live together and die together. Sounds like a loving couple."

"When you observe their growth process in the future, you will know that they do not look like a couple, but they are really a couple."

Allen smiled in response to Yaying's exclamation, and then pretended to be a little naughty.

After digging out four herbs, Allen carefully wrapped them and put them into the herb bag and followed Hill and Yaying out of here.
