Chapter 426 Eating grilled fish
By the time the two of them had finished digging all of them, it was already past two in the afternoon. Shen Ruyi scattered some of the ginseng seeds that she had bought before and left over here, letting them grow together with the remaining small ginsengs. They would not need to visit this place in the next two or three years, so they could wait a few years.
Today, the two of them were indeed hungry, so they didn't take their time to cook for themselves, but directly took out the cooked food they had prepared and ate it.
Of course, Thanos is indispensable. This monkey now eats everything, vegetables, fruits, and meat. It eats whatever you give it. It's quite rare.
After eating, the two of them played with Thanos for a while and communicated with the little monkey, telling it to be called Thanos from now on and to respond when it heard the word Thanos.
I don’t know whether it understood or not. Anyway, Shen Ruyi and Yiren have already taught it what it should teach. The rest requires long-term training.
The two men and the monkey continued to move forward, walking casually.
As they walked, they came to a small valley sheltered from the wind, where there were many wild fruits. Shen Ruyi and Yiren hadn't done anything yet, but Thanos took action first after seeing them. He quickly climbed up the nearest tree and started picking and eating them.
He ate with a very satisfied look on his face and picked a few more and threw them to Shen Ruyi and Yiren.
Shen Ruyi was about to say that this purple-red fruit looked really pleasing to the eye, but she didn't know if it was edible, but Thanos told her the answer directly. It was definitely edible, whether it tasted good or not was another matter, but at least it was definitely not poisonous.
Shen Ruyi looked at the egg-sized fruit, wiped it, and took a bite, thinking it would be very sour or very sweet, but it turned out to be neither. It was lightly sweet, and the sweetness was so light that you couldn't taste it unless you ate it carefully. It was very thirst-quenching.
Yirendao spoke first: "For a fruit with such a strong color, the taste is so light and it is very juicy. I don't know what kind of fruit it is. Ruyi, do you recognize it?"
Shen Ruyi shook her head. "Sister Yiren, I don't know them either. They shouldn't be poisonous. How about we pick some and take them back? They are so beautiful and there are so many of them. If I don't pick some, I'll feel like I'm missing out on a billion dollars."
"Okay, how about digging up a few smaller trees?"
"Good idea, let's pick first and then dig."
Then the two of them started working on it. After Thanos had eaten enough, he started to help Shen Ruyi pick the fruits. However, after picking them, he threw them directly to the ground, and they broke directly when they fell to the ground.
Shen Ruyi brought a small basket over and asked it to put the fruits in. Thanos happily agreed and started picking them.
Thanos' hands were very fast, and he probably liked this small basket. He soon filled it with fruits and started to squeak. After Shen Ruyi took it away, he gave it an empty basket and it continued to pick fruits.
The two men and the monkey picked about one third of the fruits and then stopped.
On the one hand, they have to leave some for the animals here to use during the winter. On the other hand, they don’t know what it is at all. How should they eat it when they get it home? Eat it all as fruit? Or can it be canned when they get home?
Finally, before leaving, he dug two more trees into the space.
The two men and the monkey continued to move forward, looking for any treasures and also looking for a suitable place to stay for the night. The sun was about to set and the temperature began to drop.
They walked forward without encountering any suitable caves or the like until they came to a big waterfall. The waterfall flowed directly down from the mountain above their heads. It was very spectacular and beautiful, like a landscape painting in thick ink.
The water in the deep pool in front of the waterfall is very clear, and there are many big fish swimming in the water.
Yiren looked at the big fish and became greedy. She suggested, "Ruyi, how about we have grilled fish tonight?"
"Okay, then let's find a place to live nearby. But there will probably be a lot of large animals coming here to drink water, so it's not easy for us to live here, so let's walk around and see first."
"it is good."
The two men and the monkey looked around and found that the only place they could live was probably on a huge ancient tree.
The trunk is so thick that it takes several people to hold it with their arms outstretched. The key is that its branches are about two meters above the ground, and some grow horizontally. There are several branches growing horizontally at the same time.
The tree crown is about an acre in size, very dense, and the leaves are already red and yellow.
Shen Ruyi was staring at the tree and studying it. Yiren flew up to take a look and called out, "Ruyi, come up and take a look."
"Okay," Shen Ruyi held Thanos and flew up the tree, took a look, "This place is good, the trunk is quite flat, we can just put the tent on it, you guys go down and catch fish first, I'll watch over the things and put them out."
Then he handed the Thanos in his arms to Yiren. Yiren took it, said "OK", and flew away.
Shen Ruyi took out a few wooden boards and laid them flat on top. After they were smooth, she put out the tent. She also sprinkled some insect repellent powder on the corners of the wooden boards that were exposed.
Then he flew towards the waterfall.
Sure enough, they saw a group of deer coming to drink water. They looked at Yiren and the others vigilantly while drinking water. However, they were on the opposite side of the deep pool, which was big enough and quite some distance away, so they were able to get along peacefully.
When Shen Ruyi arrived, Yiren had already caught 5 big fish with a few sticks. Thanos helped to hold the fish, and Yiren was now cleaning the fish.
Shen Ruyi picked up some dry branches nearby and walked back while picking up the branches. When she returned to the ancient tree again, Yiren had already come back with the fish washed.
Shen Ruyi handed the prepared barbecue ingredients to Yiren, quickly lit the fire and built a simple stove. Yiren smeared seasoning on a few fish, skewered them, and used a branch to flip them while grilling.
Yiren asked as she worked: "The deer I saw today are different from the ones I saw before. Should we collect some of them tomorrow?"
Shen Ruyi thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. It was not too much: "Well, take it. Anyway, since you are here, it would be a waste not to take it."
Yiren continued: "I looked at the various footprints beside the pond. It probably won't be too quiet at night. Many animals come here to drink water."
"Well, it's okay. If you can't sleep well, let's practice. This ancient tree is good today. Maybe practicing can get twice the result with half the effort."
Yiren suddenly remembered the vitality they had absorbed the last time they came, and immediately became energetic: "I've made up my mind, I won't sleep tonight, I will practice directly, such a good opportunity almost missed."
"Don't worry, I remember it. I didn't mention it because we haven't reached the inner circle yet. The further you go in, the more vitality there is. The outer circle is not interesting."
"Uh-huh."
Shen Ruyi first gave Thanos some vegetable leaves to eat as a snack, so that it wouldn't follow them and eat blindly, which would hurt its body. Then she gave it cucumbers, and finally tomatoes and strawberries.
By the way, I also washed some strawberries and cherries for myself and my beloved, and ate them while grilling the fish.
Thanos, who was eating happily, looked at the cherries and pointed at them with his claws. Shen Ruyi handed a few to him and said, "Remember to spit out the pits."
