Domineering Peasant Girl is Not Easy To Mess With

   Chapter 253 Black Watermelon

  A Yuan's eyes widened: "Watermelon? What kind of melon is that? Qingli, have you seen this melon?"

   "I haven't seen it before, it's just like a watermelon!" Mu Qingli laughed.

The native smiled and said: "There are a lot of melons growing in the valley over there, and they are not very ripe now. When they are ripe, I will move a lot of them back to the cave for storage, but unfortunately, it will not be stored for long, at most seven or eight days... This is The two should be cooked, you can try it, it's delicious."

   Gao Dashan and Tu Sheng had already simmered in clay pots by the fire, and started roasting pheasants and hares. Mu Qingli and the three were full of curiosity, and they answered him and opened the melon over there.

When they opened it, Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice. After the melon was opened, the inside was the same as a watermelon, with bright red flesh and rows of black watermelons embedded in the flesh. seeds.

   It is plump and juicy, with attractive color, and a sweet and fresh melon fragrance blows on the face, take a deep breath and soak into the lungs, as if even the lungs are much fresher.

  Perhaps as the native said, when the melon is not fully mature, the color of the melon seeds is not so dark, with a hint of brown in the black.

   "It's so fragrant, it looks delicious!" A Yuan rubbed his hands together and said with a smile.

   Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen also smiled and said, "I didn't expect us to be so lucky today!"

  A Yuan took two large pieces and gave them to Gao Dashan and Tusheng, and everyone ate them.

   Take a bite, the faint fragrance diffuses in the mouth, and the sweet juice enters the throat, cooling and penetrating the heart.

   Several people praised it.

The natives were very happy to see the melons they found, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that the time is not yet there, and there will be more when they are mature! It's just that there will be a lot of rabbits, mountain otters, hedgehogs, and badgers. Ah, the mountain rat will come to eat, so the big one will be gone in a short time."

   Everyone imagined the scene, and A Yuan smiled and said, "It must have been much easier to hunt at that time, right? Not bad!"

Tu Sheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's best to catch rabbits and hedgehogs at that time. Especially hedgehogs, when they see people coming, they are reluctant to leave the melon and go away. They form a ball and stay where they are. However, that stuff is full. The thorns are too thorny, and the meat is not very tasty, so I didn't provoke them very much."

   While talking and laughing, two black watermelons had already entered the stomachs of everyone, with so much juice that they all felt full.

   When the hare and pheasant are cooked, they don't eat much.

   The soup stewed with half a pheasant and mushrooms in a jar was quite good, and everyone drank a lot with bamboo tubes as bowls.

   There is no seasoning, only salt.

  This salt is not refined and extracted salt, but the fruit of a plant. This fruit is called salt particles. One is only the size of a mung bean, brown and black, and the clusters are like grapes on the tree.

   When mature and dry, a layer of hoarfrost-like salt will condense on the epidermis.

   The natives have picked a lot of them and put them in a basket. On weekdays, they rely on this to season and absorb salt.

   Although this salt has a salty taste, it has a milder taste.

  Something is better than nothing, at least he has lived here for so many years, and his body has not had any problems due to lack of salt.

  Salt particles, a tree like Mu Qingli, have also been seen in modern times, but I don't think it is unusual.

   After eating and drinking, talking gossip for a while, listening to the native talking about life in the big forest, and struggling to find a way out, Mu Qingli and others couldn't help feeling sympathy and sadness.

  The native is quite optimistic and content. He feels that it is not easy for him to take this life and survive. Several times he thought that he was doomed, and he never knew that he would escape from death in a dangerous and dangerous way every time.

   "It's better now, I can finally go back with you." Tu Sheng was full of smiles, and his brows were beaming with joy.

  Gao Dashan followed his words and said, "We are here to explore the road, and we want to find a way to the outside world. How about we take you back tomorrow?"

The native was stagnant, and smiled bitterly: "I have no ability, and I have little courage. Since I was almost killed by a bear in the first two years, I didn't dare to go too far, and I don't know much about this big forest. But - you send If I go back, will it delay your time a bit?"

  Mu Qingli didn't expect him to say such a thing, it's really rare, it can be seen that this native eldest brother is still the original simple and honest nature.

   How eager he is to get out of here, just think about the struggling days of a person over the years, he doesn't want to be able to say such words at this time.

   "No delay, no delay, it's only a few days, soon! Let's take you back first!" Mu Qingli said with a smile.

   "How many days? How is that possible!" The native was surprised and blurted out.

  If it really only takes a few days to get out, how could he turn around and find his way out?

A Yuan then smiled and said, "You don't know about my native eldest brother, the big tortoise runs so fast, like a gust of wind. We can walk on two legs for about 20 days. How many days!"

   "Huh?" Tu Sheng's eyes widened, now even more surprised and confused.

  Turtle...with this speed?

  Mu Qingli couldn't help laughing out loud, "Big brother native, rest tonight, you'll know tomorrow!"

   The natives laughed when they saw them. Obviously, what they said was that they were really not making fun of themselves. They smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then, then send me back first..."

   So there was nothing to say for the whole night, and everyone fell asleep.

   Of course, there are no tents, no comfortable thick mats, and no sleeping bags tonight.

The native wanted to let Mu Qingli sleep on the so-called bed, but before Mu Qingli could speak, Mo Yun smiled softly and firmly, embraced Mu Qingli with a polite smile and said, "Big native native sleep by yourself, don't worry about us. Qing Li is used to sleeping with me."

  Cough, it's not because he hates it, how could his wife go to sleep where others have slept? It was absolutely impossible for him to agree.

   Mu Qingli glanced at him without saying a word, smiled politely at the native and thanked him, saying no.

   turned out to be cheaper for Ah Yuan.

   On the second day, I ate the leftover pheasant meat and some wild vegetables. Gao Dashan and A Yuan sent the natives back to the village, while Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen stayed here and waited.

  The native thanked him again and again. He glanced at the cave where he had lived for several years with mixed feelings, wiped his wet eyes, and rode the big turtle with Gao Dashan and A Yuan.

  The big tortoise glanced at Mu Qingli, twisted and crawled and was reluctant to walk.

  People didn't know the reason at first? Are quite puzzled.
