Domineering Peasant Girl is Not Easy To Mess With

A Yuan opened his eyes wide: "Watermelon? What kind of melon is that? Qingli, have you seen this melon?"

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

Tusheng laughed and said, "There are a lot of melons growing in the valley over there, and they are not very ripe yet. When they are ripe, I will move them back to the cave for storage, but unfortunately, they can't be stored for long, seven or eight days at most... The two should be cooked, try them, they are delicious."

Gao Dashan and Tusheng had already simmered clay pots beside the fire, and started to roast pheasants and hares. The three of them, Mu Qingli and others, were full of curiosity, and responded to him, and opened the melon there.

After opening it, Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen couldn't help but let out a low exclamation. 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 an attractive color, and a sweet and fresh melon scent hits the face. Take a deep breath and soak into the lungs, as if even the lungs are refreshed a lot.

Perhaps as Tusheng said, the melon is not yet fully ripe, and 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 and said with a smile.

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

A Yuan took two big 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, refreshing the heart.

Several people praised it.

Tusheng was very happy to see that they liked the melons he found, and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, it's not too late, there will be more when they are ripe! There will be many rabbits, mountain otters, hedgehogs, and badgers by then." Ah, the mountain rats will also come to eat, and such a large piece will be gone in a short time."

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

Tusheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, at that time, rabbits and hedgehogs were the best to catch. Especially hedgehogs, when they saw people coming, they were reluctant to throw away the melons and go away. The stabs are too thorny, and the meat is not very tasty, so I didn't bother to provoke them much."

While talking and joking, two black watermelons had entered everyone's stomachs, and there was so much juice that they all felt full.

When the hare and pheasant were cooked, they didn't eat much.

The pot of soup stewed with half a pheasant and mushrooms was really good, and everyone used bamboo tubes as bowls to drink a lot.

Naturally there is no seasoning, only salt.

This salt is not refined and extracted, but the fruit of a plant. This kind of fruit is called a salt particle. A grain is only the size of a mung bean, brown and black, and bunches of it are like grapes on the tree.

When it matures and dries, a layer of hoarfrost-like salt will condense on the epidermis.

Native students picked a lot and put a big basket in a basket, which is used to season and absorb salt in daily life.

Although this salt has a salty taste, the salty taste is relatively light.

But 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.

Mu Qingli, a tree like salt particles, had seen it in modern times, but he didn't think it was unusual. Mo Yunshen, a "bumpkin", couldn't do without it, and he was amazed and fresh again.

After eating and drinking enough, gossiping for a while, listening to Tusheng talking about life in the big forest and finding a way out, Mu Qingli and the others couldn't help feeling sympathetic and sad.

Tusheng was quite optimistic and satisfied, and felt that it was not easy for him to take this life to survive. Several times he thought he was doomed, but he never knew that he narrowly escaped death every time.

"It's even better now, and I can finally go back with you." Tu Sheng smiled all over his face, and his brows were beaming with joy.

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

The native was stagnant, and said with a wry smile: "I have no skills, and I am also timid. I was almost killed by a bear in the first two years, and I didn't dare to go too far. I don't know much about this big forest. But—— Will I delay your time a bit when I go back?"

Mu Qingli and others did not expect him to say that, it is extremely rare, it can be seen that this native brother is still the original simple and honest nature.

How much he longed to leave here, just think about the struggling days of a person in these years, and he can still say such words at such a time.

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

"How many days? How is it possible!" Tu Sheng blurted out in surprise.

If it really only takes a few days to go out, how could he turn around and not find the way out?

A Yuan laughed and said, "Brother Tusheng, you don't know something. The big tortoise runs so fast, like a gust of wind. It's not bad for us to walk on two legs for twenty days. The big tortoise runs all the way, isn't it just How many days!"

"Ah?" Tu Sheng opened his eyes wide, and now he was even more surprised and confused.

The tortoise... has this speed?

Mu Qingli and others couldn't help laughing out loud, "Brother Tusheng, let's rest tonight, you will know tomorrow!"

Seeing them all laughing, Tu Sheng obviously said that he was really not joking about himself for entertainment. He smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then, then send me back first..."

So there was nothing to say all night, and everyone fell asleep.

Of course, there were no tents tonight, nor comfortable thick mats or blankets, nor sleeping bags.

Tusheng wanted to let Mu Qingli sleep on the so-called bed, but before Mu Qingli could open his mouth, Mo Yun smiled gently but firmly, and hugged Mu Qingli with a polite smile: "Brother Tusheng, sleep by yourself, don't worry about us. Qingli is used to sleeping next to me."

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

Mu Qingli glanced at him without saying a word, and thanked Tusheng with a polite smile, saying that he didn't need it.

It turned out that A Yuan was cheaper.

The next day, after eating the leftover pheasant chicken and some wild vegetables, Gao Dashan and Ayuan sent Tusheng back to the village, while Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen stayed here to wait.

Tusheng thanked again and again, looked at the cave where he had lived for several years with complicated emotions, wiped his wet eyes, and rode on the big turtle with Gao Dashan and A Yuan.

The big turtle took a look at Mu Qingli, twisted his body and crawled, he was not willing to leave.

Everyone didn't know the reason at the beginning? I am very puzzled.
