Chapter seven hundred and ninety seventh unreasonable
Gong Qianyu frowned and said: "There is news from the mountain over there, saying that there are many long things growing on them, and I don't know if they can be eaten."
"On the mountain ahead?" Shui Ling suddenly became more energetic, "Take me there, I can know if it's poisonous."
Gong Qianyu pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
Although I am very worried about my daughter-in-law's health, if I don't take her there, she will probably run away by herself.
The two of them got on the carriage and walked towards the mountain, but they had to get off the carriage and walk halfway, and the carriage could not go further.
At the foot of the mountain, Shui Ling looked up and saw that the mountain was not covered with shrubs as he thought, but with trees.
The trees are taller than the shrubs, and their leaves are thicker. With the naked eye, you can see that several shrubs have long, arm-shaped fruits with a slightly dirty yellow-green skin and edges.
If it grew on a vine, Shui Ling would think it was a type of loofah, but they grow on trees.
Shui Ling took out his slingshot and knocked down one, and the fruit rolled directly to his feet.
She picked it up with both hands. From the tree, it looked like her arms were thick, but when she got closer, it was a little thinner than her calves.
The ends of the fruit are a bit shriveled, but the middle section protrudes like a round bean.
Shui Ling's heart trembled and she murmured to herself, "Could it be ice cream beans?"
Gong Qianyu understood the word ice cream. After all, Shui Ling had made it and had eaten it himself, but what were ice cream beans?
Shui Ling licked her lips, took out a dagger and cut one end of the fruit open. The cut was very white.
She made another vertical cut, then used her two hands to tear it open.
There is indeed meat inside, a bit like a banana or a white marshmallow.
It looks a bit soft, but when you take a bite, the pulp is very smooth and sweet.
But the fruit is wild after all, so it will be a little sour and astringent when eaten, and the core is also very large.
But the core is bright yellow-green, and the surface shines very beautifully.
Gong Qianyu pinched one and ate it. The taste was pretty good, but he didn't know if it could be eaten as food.
The core of the fruit he ate was black, different from the one in Shuiling's hand.
Shui Ling smiled and said: "The one you are eating is ripe, so the core is black."
Gong Qianyu asked: "Can this thing be used as food?"
Shui Ling shook his head, "It cannot be used as food, but it is good to have something to eat at this time, and its fruit contains sugar, which can supplement energy and nutrition."
After a pause, she sighed, "If it were a peaceful and prosperous time, I would definitely make ice cream out of this fruit and sell it. I would definitely make a lot of money."
Gong Qianyu laughed. His little daughter-in-law thought about making money all the time. She probably had a psychological shadow because she was poor as a child.
Seeing Gong Qianyu smiling at him, Shui Ling said with some embarrassment: "Go up and have a look, maybe there are other fruits."
"Okay." Gong Qianyu nodded, took his wife's hand and started to go up the mountain.
This mountain is inaccessible, so there are no roads. Gong Qianyu took out a machete and chopped off the branches and branches blocking the road.
Along the way, Shui Ling discovered many tropical wild plants and fruits. She wondered: "Why are there tropical fruits here? And many things should not appear here."
Gong Qianyu shook his head. He didn't understand this kind of thing even more. Thinking of the contents of the petition, he said: "Only this mountain has these strange trees. People used to come here to pick fruits and eat them, but most of them were poisoned to death.
So no one comes here anymore.”
“The mountain’s body looks like a slightly flatter steamed bun, so it’s called Steamed Bun Mountain.”
Shui Ling nodded. Now the two of them were standing on the mountainside. The trees above looked taller, but some trees blocked the view, so it was difficult to tell what the trees above were.
"Let's go up and have a look. There should be some food left."
Gong Qianyu smiled and said: "Okay, be careful."
The two continued walking up the mountain, and when they reached the upper part, Shuiling saw a lot of vines, one of which was flat and looked like traditional roasted gluten, with a lot of black beans on it.
Gong Qianyu asked: "Can those be eaten?"
Shui Ling immediately shook his head, "No, it's best not to eat that poisonous one."
Gong Qianyu nodded and said with some sigh: "The fruits here are very strange. Look at the dark and scary ones."
Shui Ling looked over and frowned, it seemed to be an edible fruit.
She walked over carefully. The tree was a bit tall, but the fruit was very big, as big as two fists placed on top of each other. The skin was black and green, and some of the black ones looked like they were rotten.
She took one off and broke it open. It was also black inside, but she could smell a fragrance.
Just as Shui Ling was about to take a bite, Gong Qianyu stopped her and said, "It looks broken. Find a good one."
He thought that the dark flesh of the fruit must be rotten and should not be eaten.
Shui Ling smiled and said, "I know what this is. It's called black persimmon. It's nutritious and has a high sugar content. You can collect it and fry it, but it doesn't look good. It's a black paste."
Gong Qianyu saw that she really took a bite and didn't show any discomfort, so he also took a bite in his mouth, tasted it carefully and nodded, "It's sweet."
Shui Ling looked up and saw that there were many fruits on them, "If they can all be picked and used as food, I still don't understand why there are so many fruit trees that don't belong to this era or this region."
Gong Qianyu looked down, took out a hoe and dug up the ground, and then smiled.
"Look, does the soil here look like the soil where the monkeys farm?"
Shui Ling squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil. The soil was more fertile than that there. Could it be that there was an oil leaking spaceship here too?
Gong Qianyu touched his chin and said, "Do you still remember that spaceship we saw? We once took out a bird's nest from the top."
"Remember." Shui Ling nodded.
Gong Qianyu continued: "There should be a cabin behind the fracture. Maybe that section of the cabin fell into here?"
"That's right." Shui Ling also suddenly realized. At first, he thought that the cabin was wrong and that something was missing. Now that he said this, it became clearer.
Gong Qianyu pondered for a moment and then said: "Could it be that the plants in the cabin scattered on the mountain with the explosion, that's why there are so many plants that don't belong here."
Shui Ling nodded fiercely, "Yeah, yeah, you're absolutely right."
She smiled, stood up, put her arms around Gong Qianyu's neck and kissed his chin, "My husband is the smartest."
Gong Qianyu hugged her waist and lifted her up, lowered his head and kissed her mouth, and the two made out for a while.
Shui Ling was already out of breath when she was let go. It turned out that some physiological reactions would occur after being kissed by her beloved.
Gong Qianyu was not satisfied and asked in a low voice: "How about we go in?"
Shui Ling's face turned red, "No, let's see all the fruit trees here."
