The villagers of Baixi Village not only raise chickens and cattle, but also cultivate fields to grow various crops, including cassava. Of course, the earliest crops in the world came from the wilderness. After generations of artificial cultivation and selection, they tried to select the strongest and plumpest crops.
The plants are left to continue breeding.
There is no need to pick out the land for things like cassava, so it can be planted in the wild slopes near the village. Even if there are already planting values around the village, in those days, the material is always not rich enough to be mined in the mountains further away.
Of course, more is better. And the history of planting yam in Baixi Village is not long. It only happened in the past few decades. Tian Xiao digs out the fattest roots completely and brings them back to the village to plant them, so that they can be propagated from generation to generation.
If you go down, you can leave the best plants.
The old man had already changed his title in his conversation, no longer calling Huwa "child" but "little sir"; and since Huwa knew the other person's name, he called the old man Xiaobo. Xiaobo also had a very strong impression of Huwa.
Well, this young man may not look big, but he is very discerning. His cultivation level should not be low, and he should be of noble birth. However, he does not have the superior reserve or arrogance of many monks. His words and deeds make people feel very easy-going and friendly.
The two chatted for a long time, and then Tian Xiao said: "Young gentleman has come from afar, so he should be hungry. If you don't mind, let's have something to eat together."
Tian Xiao washed a few of the fattest and tenderest potatoes in a nearby stream, then lit a fire on a flat slope, wrapped the potatoes in leaves and buried them in the soil under the fire to roast them.
The water jar was also placed on the fire. The old man took out a pack of wheat flour from his arms, poured it into the jar and cooked it into a batter soup. He also put a little salt in the noodle soup and invited the tiger boy to eat it together.
It’s been a long time since Huwa had eaten grains from the world. Roasted potatoes and cooked noodle soup smelled particularly fragrant. Huwa wasn’t hungry, but he did feel greedy. These were things he had never eaten before.
So I said thank you and started to taste it. The noodle soup was put in a clay pot. The two of them drank it in turns, and then peeled the roasted potatoes. It felt extremely sweet in the mouth.
Huwa's response to both external objects and itself is very subtle. This product is indeed good at replenishing Qi, and can also moisten the lungs and relieve asthma. It is suitable for the old man Tian Xiao to eat regularly.
There was a dog next to him. Panhu stood up after smelling the aroma. He stuck out his tongue and looked at the tiger boy eagerly, looking very greedy. The tiger boy took out a sweet potato under the fire and threw it to Panhu.
Just like once I took the lotus root stems from the lotus and threw it to it. The dog was a little anxious to eat and even burned its mouth.
When Huwa took the clay pot and drank the noodle soup, he also fed Panhu. The dog kept licking his mouth after eating, so Huwa fed it a few more mouthfuls, and Panhu smacked his lips happily.
Although you can practice fasting if you have the four realms of cultivation, you still have to eat after all. Huwa has taken so many five-color sacred lotus. As long as he practices and refines to absorb its spiritual effects, it will not consume much if nothing unexpected happens.
He can even go without food for ten years. But this does not mean that he does not like to eat. Especially when a person has traveled such a long distance and tasted food that he has never eaten before, it feels very delicious.
Tian Xiao saw Huwa eating so well and smiled happily. When he saw Huwa feeding the noodle soup to the dog, he felt a little surprised, but he just frowned secretly and said nothing. It seemed that this child did have an extraordinary background.
At a young age, he was well-educated and dared to travel far alone. Even the dog beside him was very noble, probably because he was used to feeding him good things.
It's just a potato, it's just dug out of the wild. If the dog is greedy, just feed it to one; but even the residents in the city can't always eat this batter soup. Tian Xiao treats guests very well.
Although generous and sincere, Huwa fed the dog with batter soup, so Tian Xiao frowned secretly.
But judging from the boy's appearance, he didn't do it intentionally, so Tian Xiao didn't say anything. And Huwa had no disrespect at all, because whether it was sweet potato or noodle soup, he ate it as deliciously as the dog. Tian Xiao
I felt relieved in my heart. After feeling relieved, I felt that I had thought too much just now.
And just when Tian Xiao secretly frowned, Huwa also felt or sensed something. It didn't need the old man in front of him to say anything intentionally, people's subtle expressions and changes in demeanor could reflect certain emotions. Huwa had been unable to speak since he was a child.
He was playing with Panhu, and his intuition in this area was quite keen. He noticed Tian Xiao's surprise and displeasure, and after thinking about it, he understood the reason to some extent, and then he stopped feeding Panhu the noodle soup.
There are many things that people don't understand or make mistakes because they often just don't pay attention. Although the mountain god introduced Huwa to various people and things in the world, he still needs personal experience to understand it, so as to prove that he can act, stop, and be consistent.
Body and mind. It seems that the way to control weapons in cultivation is also similar to the way to treat people and things in the world.
After eating, Huwa thanked him repeatedly, and then he continued to move forward. Tian Xiao added: "Follow this road and you can reach Baixi Village. It's getting late. You can stay at my house at night. As long as
Just mention my name when you enter the village and say you met me on the road."
Tian Xiao himself does not plan to return to the village today. He often goes to this area to collect products from the mountains, and he also knows where to spend the night. He will pick more sweet potatoes tomorrow before going back. Huwa smiled and said: "I won't be at your home.
After staying here, I still want to continue on my way to Feihong City... I don’t know how to repay you for eating such good food, so please accept a little bit of my kindness."
Huwa was very grateful to this kind old man. Tian Xiao was the first person he met outside the mountains, which completely dispelled his inner uneasiness about the strange world. However, Huwa was wearing light Gebu clothes, and at first glance
I knew that I didn't bring any big items with me. Although there were many things in the animal tooth artifact, it was not appropriate to take out dried meat, cloth, animal skins and other items to thank Tian Xiao.
The mountain god had warned him not to reveal in front of others that the beast's tooth was a space artifact, so he could not explain why he could take out those things out of thin air. So Huwa stretched his hand into his arms as if to take something out, but it came from the beast.
A small piece of gold was taken out from the tooth artifact. Huwa could have taken the pottery coins, but he felt that the old man treated him so sincerely and kindly. He was the first good person he met outside the mountains, and it would be too light to repay him with pottery coins.
But Tian Xiao was shocked when he saw this piece of gold. He almost immediately shrunk his shoulders and jumped back, waving his hands repeatedly and saying: "Young gentleman, this is impossible! It's just a picnic, how can I accept such precious things from you?"
Things? We rarely have outsiders passing by here, so it is natural to help them. There are always inconveniences when traveling. I have also been helped by others when I was walking outside. "
Tian Xiao was determined not to accept this piece of gold, and even grabbed Huwa to give him some advice. He thought that this young gentleman was from a noble family and had never traveled far before, so he probably didn't know the value of this piece of gold outside.
Don't take out this kind of thing easily in the future, let alone give gold as a reward for just a few potatoes and a can of noodle soup, as this will easily be targeted by bad guys.
Huwa had no choice but to put away the gold and nodded humbly. Tian Xiao then let go and told Huwa to never leave the road and enter the wilderness when going further from Baixi Village, especially not to go deep into the mountains to the north, because there was a demon there.
The clan is entrenched.
That monster clan is called the Shangao clan. Not only do they look weird, but their habits are different from ordinary people. They are very fierce when they are angry. Although they rarely interact with outsiders in the deep mountains, they occasionally encounter them when they are in that area.
Danger. Although Huwa has some cultivation skills, he is still alone after all, so he should try not to take risks.
Huwa expressed his gratitude again and said goodbye to Tian Xiao. When he set out on his journey again, he felt much better. This vast Bayuan no longer seemed so strange, and it seemed that there were people and things that seemed familiar to him everywhere.
The Shanyao tribe, what Huwa heard the mountain god mention, is one of the few situations in the Feihong City area that the mountain god has specifically mentioned. "Shanyao" is the name of a strange beast, and the so-called strange beast is different from the ordinary beast.
Different from other wild beasts, they should have experienced some kind of special evolution or mutation, and will undergo some kind of transformation when they reach adulthood. If they can successfully survive it, they can practice psychic cultivation.
Shan Yao looks a bit like a wild boar, with red fur. According to legend, it can speak human words. According to the analysis of the mountain god, this is actually just an ability acquired after successful cultivation, and it is not that Shan Yao itself can speak.
The so-called Shangao tribesmen living in this area are not Shangao, a strange beast. Compared with beasts, they are actually humans, and they are the descendants of a Shangao demon who has successfully cultivated.
The origin of the monster clan in the world is probably this. Hundreds of years ago, the mountain paste demon not only cultivated into a demon and transformed into a human form, but also broke through the eight realms of cultivation. It is said that this mountain paste demon is very lustful and abducts women from nearby villages and returns to the mountain.
As a wife, she has been transformed into a demon for a long time. He has done this kind of thing more than once, and many of his descendants have the same characteristics.
These descendants married and multiplied with each other, and gradually developed into today's Shanyao tribe. They live in the wild mountains in the north of Feihong City. Just like the Yu tribe has two wings on its back and is born with the ability to fly, the Shanyao tribe also has inherent uniqueness.
, and because they are descendants of alien beasts, they also have some innate instincts that are different from ordinary people.
They have rough skin and thick flesh, short limbs, and a pair of fangs sticking out of their mouths. When angry, they will get down on their hands and feet and run wildly like wild beasts. They can even break trees as thick as a bowl, and they will dig out holes on the ground with their heads lowered.
Coming from the deep ditch, they are very fierce and dangerous. But they usually look very simple and honest, and all of them have fat heads and big ears.
Just like the Yu tribe also produced monks like Da Mao, the Shanyao tribe may also enter the first level and be able to practice, but this is more difficult for them than ordinary people, but if they succeed in cultivation, they will also have something like the strange beast Shanyao
General innate magical powers. These are what the mountain god told Huwa, and the old man Tian Xiao reminded him not to go deep into the mountains, especially not to approach the territory of the Shanyao tribe to prevent accidents. (To be continued...)
