Chapter 8 Arrival
Sensing that someone was coming, Caroline turned her head away, and when she saw it was the Earl, she hurriedly stood up and hid her muddy hands behind her back.In her memory, Caroline knew that this body had been educated like an aristocratic lady since she could remember.Now that I am digging the ground with my hands in such an unsightly manner, I may be in danger of being exposed.

Seeing Caroline hiding her hands childishly, the count smiled.Although it is said to be a noble family, he actually hopes that Caroline can communicate with him more.Ever since Caroline could remember being judged as trash, Caroline has never acted like a baby to herself since then.As an earl and a man, he didn't know how to enlighten Caroline, so he kept procrastinating.

Regarding Caroline's changes recently, he also learned from many aspects. He only regarded it as a reminder to Caroline about what happened last time, letting her know that it is impossible for her to protect her for the rest of her life, and she still has to rely on herself in everything.Perhaps because of thinking about these things, Caroline's personality has also changed.And the Earl never thought that the current Caroline was not the former Caroline at all.

"Father." Caroline called weakly. From the count's smile, Caroline could tell that the count didn't feel angry at all.As long as she is not suspected, everything is fine. If she is discovered, Caroline is really afraid that the Earl will cut her with a sword.

"Did you find anything good again?" the count asked aloud.Something that can make Caroline lose her composure like this must be a good thing.Unfortunately, the Earl miscalculated this time.These things may be good things for Caroline, but not necessarily for the Earl.

Caroline squatted down, picked up the things she had just picked up from the grass, walked to the earl like offering a treasure, and said, "My lord, I found another plant, which is edible. It is said that the taste is still delicious. That’s right.” Of course, these words were all nonsense from Caroline, what she was holding was just an ordinary wild vegetable from her previous life.

Because the edge of the Lost Forest is always windy, there are not many leaves accumulated. The dark and humid environment not only breeds a lot of fungi, but also is a paradise for vigorous wild vegetables.Wherever you look, in the shade between all the trees, except for some weeds, there are wild vegetables of this kind.

In the previous life, there were many wild vegetables in the countryside. When spring came, the elders of the family would lead the children to dig wild vegetables in the fields.The fresh wild vegetables dug up can be eaten fried, mixed with cold dishes, or dried and eaten in winter.But in cities, these wild vegetables are rare. Some restaurants even specialize in selling wild vegetables. A plate of fried wild vegetables can earn several times the cost.

However, for the earl who eats meat all year round, these wild vegetables are not a good thing.But seeing Caroline's happy face, the earl couldn't bear to say anything to hurt her, but a slight disdain flashed across his face, and then he ordered a few knights to help Caroline dig out wild vegetables with swords and put them in the belt. Come in the sack.

Vegetables also exist in the Alante Continent, usually potatoes, tomatoes and the like.Then the more advanced ones are green plants such as lettuce.But ordinary commoners can't afford lettuce and other advanced things, because these plants need to be planted in a specific place. Generally, only vegetable farmers with the top of the royal family have the opportunity to receive seeds and planting methods.These seeds were cultivated by the royal family for hundreds of years before they could be successfully planted, otherwise they would have disappeared into history.

If Caroline knew that in her previous life, she could buy a lot of things for only a few tens of dollars, and that she might not be able to eat even if she had money in this world, she would probably laugh out loud, because she used to dislike vegetables the least, but now It's ironic that you can't eat it even if you want to.

"Father, don't underestimate them. When you go out, Caroline will cook for you." Knowing that the Earl has been eating meat, he doesn't care about these wild vegetables.But people need a balanced diet, if they only eat meat every day, how can they be healthy.Thinking of this, Caroline noticed that people in this world can live up to 60 years old. It seems that it is because of an unbalanced diet.But also, there are very few things that common people can afford, so it is simply impossible to achieve a balanced diet, let alone longevity.Moreover, the common people have to serve the nobles and work hard every day to support their families. Who cares about food and drink? Survival is the most important thing.

Young ladies from aristocratic families never need to cook, and the Earl was a little surprised when Caroline suddenly said that she wanted to cook for him, because he should have never invited someone to teach Caroline's cooking skills, and In the class of noble ladies, it is even more impossible to hand over the things that these servants do.But maybe I read it from a book, the count thought, and nodded.

Two sacks of wild vegetables had already been packed, the count nodded to the knight, picked up Caroline and continued walking forward.

At this point, the battle for territory between the two violent bears was over, and the result was a loss for both sides.The former team of knights realized that the storm bear was no longer in danger, so they stayed in place and waited for the arrival of the earl and his party.

Under the light of the torch, the two violent bears were completely displayed in front of Caroline's eyes.The surrounding trees were covered with paw prints of violent bears, and the ground was even more bloody.The two violent bears were lying on the ground, panting with difficulty.Although aware of the fire, they had no strength to get up.Looking at the huge body of the violent bear, and observing the surrounding battles, Caroline concluded that if the two violent bears hadn't been fighting for territory, if they accidentally bumped into any one, they would be smashed into a pulp by the violent bear's claws in an instant.

The count looked excitedly at the two surviving violent bears, and asked the knights to go up and end their lives.If these two violent bears are taken out.I'm afraid they can use their castle for a month.But unfortunately, the weight of the violent bear is too heavy. With their two teams, it is really impossible to take it out completely.And if such big two ends are taken back intact, it is inevitable that people will see them.If it is spread that they have the ability to kill violent bears, it may attract the attention and attack of the lords of neighboring territories.

It didn't take long for the two violent bears to be dismembered, and the smell of blood filled the tip of their noses, blending with the stench in the cloth bag hanging around their waists, making people want to vomit.The knight cut off the meat from the bear's chest and thighs, divided them into small pieces and put them in cloth bags. In order to prevent the blood and smell from seeping out and causing other dangers in the Lost Forest, he used a Caroline What I don't know wraps up.

After solving these problems, the group continued to move towards their destination.Along the way, after avoiding snakes and some unnamed creatures, the two teams finally arrived at the location of the fruit.After observing for a long time, seeing that there was no danger, the count let go of Caroline.

This may be one of the few lands in the Lost Forest that has deep sunlight.The ground was dry and yellowish-brown, and the surrounding trees formed a large circle. There were sporadic plants growing in the circle. On the plants were the things Caroline wanted to eat, mangoes, dragon fruits and kiwi fruits.

Although she had eaten many such things, this was the first time Caroline had seen these fruit trees.

The mango tree is as tall as a person. The leaves are dark green with smooth tops, and yellow and green fruits are mixed in the middle of the leaves.

Caroline made a visual inspection. There are about ten mango trees, and they are distributed regularly. They also form a circle around the edge of ordinary trees, and a circle of kiwi fruit trees is planted in the circle. It seems that there are also ten mango trees. There are many leaves, and they are only about the size of Caroline's palm. Under the sunlight, there are some rough hairs on the leaves.

Across the kiwi tree, there is a dragon fruit tree inside.The fruit tree of dragon fruit is somewhat similar to a cactus.Half a person's height, the branches have three edges, all with thorns, and the fruit is on them.But what made Caroline curious was that these dragon fruits had red, yellow and white fruits.

After careful observation, Caroline can conclude that these fruit trees were planted by someone.But I don’t know how long ago it was planted, because no one has ever heard of people living in the Lost Forest, and they have never seen these fruits spread outside, so it is estimated that the person who planted them has passed away long ago.

Under the order of the earl, the knights walked into the fruit forest one after another, picked the ripe fruits and put them in the sacks they carried with them.Although they didn't know what these things were, they smelled sweet and curious, but no one asked the Earl, because they knew that those who could follow the Earl were the Earl's most trusted people, and the Earl would definitely explain later, So there is no rush.

There are not many fruits on the fruit trees, and each person's sack is less than a quarter full, so there is nothing to pick. Looking at the fruit trees at this time, there are only scattered and unripe fruits hanging on it.The knights all stood on the tree and looked at the earl, waiting for the earl's order.

"Father, let's do it this time. It's not easy to store too much at one time." Because there is no refrigerator in this era, if you take too much back and put it in the cellar, it can only be stored for about ten days at most.What's more, Caroline doesn't know the flowering and fruiting periods of these fruit trees. She is really worried about what will happen if the fruit trees don't bear fruit after picking them all at once.

The count waved at the knights under the tree, and the knights put away their swords, picked up their sacks and slowly retreated from the fruit forest.Putting Caroline on the ground, the count said: "Okay, those who have things in their hands will take the young lady back to the castle, and the others will follow me." Those people collect the bones.

"Father, please be careful." Caroline bit her lip, wanting to follow, but she endured it.I am not in good health, and following the earl is likely to slow me down. Caroline knows this time very well, so it is better to go back.When I have the ability in the future, I must go to the center of the Lost Forest, Caroline thought to herself, and led a group of people back, planning to send people to dig wild vegetables tomorrow and return to the castle Dried vegetables in the sun for a rainy day.After all, natural disasters are something humans cannot predict. What if there is a shortage of food in the castle one day.
