The years of being a bottle tree spirit

Before approaching the puddle, several carnivorous wolves suddenly sniffed together, looked around vigilantly, and then rushed towards the place where she put the cow fruit. Mu Ping didn't guard against this, and turned around When God came, he saw that the outer skin of the cow fruit was torn open.

It revealed that there were cowhide, bloody beef, bone and internal organs, etc. like real cows. She looked at the delicious wolves, and thought that there was no need to try, at least wood beef was also meat, otherwise these wolves would not I am so happy to eat, but wolves are haunting around.

It was too dangerous for Ding. The food she prepared for the child by consuming nutrients was not for feeding the wolf. Fortunately, the wolf only tore off a few pieces of meat, and there was not much loss. When she thought of this, she immediately controlled the root system to go Bind a few wolves and tried to absorb their thoughts.

Following her actions, the other animals around immediately fled away. Several wolves who were restrained at the same time held the wood beef in their mouths. Before they could resist howling, they were immediately absorbed by the tree roots.

However, it seems that Mu Ping didn't have the idea to bear wolf fruit at this time. After absorbing it, although the tree grew a circle, there was no sign of new fruit.

Seeing this, Mu Ping heaved a sigh of relief, looked at the mess on the ground, and simply controlled the fruit of a copper dagger, wrapped the dagger with a branch, cut off the part of the wood beef that had been eaten by wolves, and cut out the better part , Put it on your own leaves for storage, and bury the unnecessary parts far away.

Scrub the copper pot with water, urge the branches to grow, bring back the dry grass in the distance to use as firewood, and drill wood to make fire... After such a mess, a large pot of wood beef without any seasoning was stewed in the morning. Fortunately, the piece of green crystal passed her careful examination.

Uh... I also tasted the taste with the senses that I don't know where, and I was sure that it was because of the characteristics of the fruit on the tree, and it turned into a green salt block inexplicably. She attracted the rabbit to try it, and confirmed that this kind of fruit salt is no problem. , the beef stewed with it makes this pot of wooden beef have a salty taste.

However, as the wood beef was cooked through, she did smell a more intense aroma of cooked beef than in modern times. It seemed that the taste of this wood beef was not much different from that of real beef.

As far as the color of the meat she saw when she cut the meat is better than the most expensive meat she has ever bought, it is speculated that the wood beef produced by the bottle tree may be better than real beef in terms of taste and nutrition...

Not long after the wood beef was stewed, Ding came over in the sun, his face was flushed red, his thirsty lips and thin face showed that he was more haggard than yesterday.

Seeing his appearance, Mu Ping hurriedly moved a branch over: "Drink some water, you can come earlier or later, the sun is too hot at noon, what should I do if I get heat stroke on the road?"

"At this time, everyone is hiding in the house to hide from the sun. I won't attract their attention when I come out." After Ding answered, he quickly drank some water, his face looked a little better, but after drinking the water to quench his thirst, it awakened the hungry Stomach.

His stomach, which had been empty for two days, rang. Even a child should blush for this situation, but Ding remained calm, and he said without much ups and downs: "I haven't found anything to eat for two days. I'm a little hungry." .”

"Then come and eat! I prepared some stewed meat for you. It tastes like no seasoning. Let's just eat it!" , you have been hungry for two days, don’t eat too much for a while, eat less, and wait until your stomach gets used to it in the afternoon before you are full.”

"Hmm!" Ding responded, followed the guidance of Mu Ping's branches, and came to the copper pot, picked up Mu Ping's chopsticks made of branches, and ate happily.

In Ding's young heart, since the tree demon sister made a marriage contract with him, they are a family, and the family does not need to be polite at all, although he still doesn't know what it means to be a husband and wife, he only knows that a marriage contract can make a man and a woman The two have been together ever since.

Yesterday he was helped by the tree demon sister, and he could hear the loneliness and tenderness in her words, and felt that it would be good to be with her forever, at least better than anyone in the village who had always bullied him because he was an outsider and an orphan. .

In addition, the old man who took him in passed away, and he was also alone. He really wanted to have his own family, so he simply made an agreement to make the two of them a family that would be together forever. Thinking that sister Mu Ping was waiting for him today, he Just full of expectations.

Mu Ping looked at Ding who was eating fast, and was a little worried: "How does the meat taste?"

After all, it is not real beef, and the salt used is also from branches with no texture. I don’t know if the meat tastes good. Will the seasoning be too salty or weak?

Ding swallowed the meat contentedly, and finally smiled on his calm face: "Very delicious meat, what kind of meat is this? It smells so good!"

"Well, this is beef." Wooden beef is also beef!Mu Ping felt a little guilty.

Ding was obviously taken aback when he heard the answer: "Is beef the meat that only the nobles can eat? No wonder ordinary people can't slaughter it, and the meat can't be bought. The nobles must be reluctant to give it to others if it is so delicious."

"If you like it, I'll stew it for you tomorrow, and you'll be full with the beef at any time." Ding's words sounded like he had never eaten beef before, and it turned out that ancient Japanese cattle couldn't be killed casually!

By the way, she seems to have heard that because of Japan's special geographical environment, ordinary seafood is relatively cheap, and all kinds of poultry and livestock meat are very expensive. It seems that ancient Japan is similar.

Ding shook his head and said, "It's too extravagant. I'll just eat fish, wild vegetables and fruits."

"It's not extravagant at all. In this environment, it is much easier for me to get beef than to catch fish or find wild vegetables and fruits." There is no water around, and it is impossible to catch fish as samples. How does she grow fish fruits? Come?

Seeing what Ding wanted to say, Mu Ping simply changed the subject: "By the way, you said you wandered to a nearby village, so where did you come from before, and why did you come here alone?"

Could it be that this is the time of war in Japan, and children are orphaned and fled to the mountains to survive?She guessed.

Hearing this, Ding's expression remained unchanged: "Two years ago, there appeared in our village a very large snake with eight heads and eight tails, and each tail could fill a large canyon. Although that snake only appeared once a year, The daughter of the mountain god will leave every time after eating.

But every time he appears, he will leave a terrible miasma in the place where he has been entrenched. The monsters like the dense miasma left by him. After absorbing the miasma, the monsters will become stronger and more ferocious. After he left, there will always be a large number of monsters haunting.

However, the miasma of the big snake will cause people to become weak and sick if they inhale it. The miasma has made people in many nearby villages and towns miserable. Everyone fled from that area. My parents took me to flee to the nearby area and died in an accident. I wandered around alone. For several days, I was taken in by a kind old man in that village. "

"Hiss! Yamata no Orochi?" She remembered that in Japanese myths and legends, Yamata no Orochi haunted the world for 4000 years about 7 years ago, and was killed by Susanoo in the eighth year. Isn't that a myth and legend?Some metaphors for Japanese geography?How come it really exists in reality?

But now I have figured out the time of my rebirth. More than 4000 years ago, China may have been in the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. The battle of the gods, the battle of the Conferred Gods...

Mu Ping suddenly rejoiced that she was reincarnated in Japan, at least Japan is not that big, even saints suffer, and mortals fight like ants, at this point in time, it is much easier for her to survive here than in China, There is a worse option. Mu Ping immediately let go of the inexplicable change of nationality, which is very realistic.

Ding didn't know that Mu Ping had thought so much for a moment. After hearing her name the name Yamata no Orochi, he nodded in agreement and said, "Baqi no Orochi, this name is very suitable for that big snake monster."

"By the way, is that big snake far from here?" In two years, and in the next five years, I hope that big snake will not be coaxed here, regardless of whether this big snake is the one in ancient Japanese mythology, They are all very dangerous existences, and she doesn't want to encounter them.

Seemingly hearing what she was worried about, Ding recalled for a moment before replying: "We escaped for more than a month to get here, the distance is quite far, don't worry."

"That's good, huh! We can't beat such a powerful monster. If it comes over, it will be troublesome." I was in the state of a dryad again, and there was nowhere to escape. It was too scary, and the leaves of Mu Ping trembled. ring.

Seeing this, Ding showed a smile: "Sister Mu Ping, don't be afraid. Although the big snake is a bit bigger, it has no interest in ordinary people and monsters. It likes to eat the daughter of the mountain god. Except for the daughter of the mountain god, everyone else Never been attacked by it."

"So strange?" According to the legend, Yamata no Orochi did eat the seven daughters of the descendants of the mountain gods. It still picks people?What's the point?This thought flashed through Mu Ping's mind, because it had little to do with him, so he didn't think about it deeply.

"It's a bit strange, and I've seen it from a distance. When the big snake came out last year, the red spot on its belly became smaller than when it first came out." Ding finished casually, then looked at Mu Ping's tree and said : "Sister Mu Ping is amazing! She actually grew a lot taller overnight."

"Haha, I found out yesterday that I can still absorb moonlight. After absorbing it, I grew up a bit. By the way, I can also provide domestic water to 10 people. If you need it, bring some water back." Mu Ping said happily.

People in the village will not be satisfied even if they provide domestic water for 100 people, because what they want is to restore the abundant water for paddy fields and domestic water. Before the well water dried up, each family saved a lot of water, so there is no need to waste mu bottles Kindness from my sister.

Ding shook his head and refused, "There's no need to send it back. I'll come here to drink when I'm thirsty."

"Then it's up to you. By the way, tell me about the outside world! I was reincarnated from a far away place, so I don't know anything about this place." Mu Ping said in a pitiful tone on purpose.
