Chapter 408: Unavoidable Immortality

A roll of dead vines that seemed to be quite sturdy was torn from the cliff, and a stone chip with a pointed head was picked up from the ground. There is also a section of dead wood with a lot of eye decay on it.

Xia Hongsheng is sure that there must be "wood work" in that section of dead wood - it is a kind of insect larvae, beige or white, round, the specific scientific name Xia Hongsheng does not know, but in Luanzhou City, woodcutters call it "wood work", because it lives on the dead wood. can eat, Xia Hongsheng really hasn't eaten it in the later life, but he has the memory of eating this thing in the memory inherited from this body. But Xia Hongsheng still couldn't muster the courage to pull out this insect from the dead wood and put it in his mouth.

Youji had been following Xia Hongsheng all the time, curiously watching Xia Hongsheng collect all kinds of strange things as he walked. Withered vines, stone chips, and dead wood, Youji didn't understand why Xia Hongsheng wanted to collect these things and bring them.

"Why did Childe bring these things?" Yu Ji asked behind Xia Hongsheng.

"It works." Xia Hongsheng didn't explain much, and walked all the way out along the canyon.

The length of the canyon exceeded Xia Hongsheng's expectations, and he walked all morning, but he didn't see a place that could go around the canyon or allow Xia Hongsheng to climb up from the side.

After dragging his heavier and heavier steps, he turned a corner along the gravel at the bottom of the canyon, and was greeted by a field of snow, which was said to be uninhabited, and the snow surface should be very smooth and smooth. However, on the snow in front of me, there are countless deep and shallow snow ditches crisscrossing the place, cutting through the snow in this place.

Xia Hongsheng was overjoyed in his heart, this must be the traces left by a living creature running by. And it seems that there are so many traces. There's a lot of stuff running through here! Look at the width of the snow ditch. Nor is it a larger animal. The appearance of these snow ditches means a very important thing for Xia Hongsheng - food!

Xia Hongsheng was already hungry, and he was not overjoyed to see this. Immediately shook off a piece of dead vine, put it on the stone and grinded it vigorously with stone chips to break it, and then picked up thicker branches from the side to make a few "pumps", and settled into the snow ditch that had been run out by wild animals, and then retreated a lot. Make a fire and wait.

"The concubine can take the son out of the mountain!" Youji, who followed Xia Hongsheng all the way, also sat down and said to Xia Hongsheng: "As long as the prince promises the concubine, the concubine guarantees that these two maps will be sealed for the son, and from now on, he will never cause trouble to the son again, and he will never be an enemy of Li Shimin again, how about it?" ”

Xia Hongsheng ignored her, and just scrubbed the broken branches with snow. But in my heart, I sneered, wait a while. I'm afraid you will beg me.

There were flints and scythes, plus charcoal stored in the morning. The fire was soon burned, and Xia Hongsheng began to dig holes in the ground with stone chips. Put the wet soil aside for later use, and if you can catch something later, after removing the internal organs, wrap it in the wet soil and bury it in the pit to burn it, which can greatly reduce the smell and avoid attracting wild beasts. When the wet soil is burned dry, you can directly bring down the fur when it is uncovered, which is also convenient.

The road at the bottom of the canyon is actually very difficult to walk, the ground is mostly gravel, and the snow on it makes the ground more slippery, and if you don't have a good kick, you will fall, and it will be very troublesome if you are hit and cut by sharp gravel, so you must be careful, and this is more physically demanding.

While resting, while waiting for some harvest in the snow over there, Xia Hongsheng was not idle, taking advantage of the fire to thicken a large number of wet leaves and branches and put them on the fire to produce more smoke.

"Childe, the concubine is hungry." Youji Shi Shiran walked to Xia Hongsheng's side and sat down, and said to Xia Hongsheng very unashamedly.

Xia Hongsheng felt that her face was comparable to the city wall, and threw the dead wood in front of her: "The food is here, find it yourself." ”

Yu Ji curiously picked up the dead wood, the dead wood has been extremely rotten, Yu Ji picked it up, a little force, it was broken in half, and immediately with a bang, let go of the hand and fell to the ground, falling out of a few fat white worms.

Xia Hongsheng glanced down: "Well, it's very fat, a few can be satisfied." ”

You Ji glared at Xia Hongsheng angrily: "This is clearly an insect, the son let the concubine eat the insect?" ”

"I don't think you have figured out the situation yet. It's because of you, not because of me. I have no obligation to care whether you live or die. Whether you starve to death or how you die has nothing to do with me. Xia Hongsheng said sarcastically.

Then he got up and walked forward, towards the snowy field. Youji hurriedly followed, and when she arrived at the snowfield, she saw that Xia Hongsheng had already stood up from the ground, carrying a hare that was twisting and twisting in his hand.

"How did Childe know that there were hares here?" You Ji looked at Xia Hongsheng in surprise. Xia Hongsheng ignored her, walked back to the fire, disemboweled the hare with the sharp-edged stone chips, removed the internal organs, buried it in the snow and washed it roughly, and then wrapped it tightly with the wet soil of Fangcai, put it in the pit and buried it, and then moved the fire to it.

Youji sat back by the fire again, and saw that Xia Hongsheng began to drag the dead vines hanging on the stone wall again, and selected the sturdy ones from them, so he asked again: "According to the concubine's understanding, Gongzi has been studying and has not been in the mountains for a long time, but looking at Gongzi's actions since yesterday, it seems that he is extremely familiar with life in the mountains, but I don't know why?" ”

"Nature is learned." Xia Hongsheng looked at her and said.

Seeing that Xia Hongsheng ignored her this time, You Ji immediately asked, "But the mountain immortal who taught Gongzi Gewu?" ”

Xia Hongsheng showed a sneer: "There are countless people who have taught me, woodcutters have taught me to settle in the snow, hunters have taught me to forage in the wilderness, medicine farmers who go up to the mountains to collect medicines, and taught me to identify wild grass poisons...... Instead of pursuing ethereal immortals, it is better to lower your eyes and learn what is worth learning around you. The world is full of knowledge, and these studies have not been able to be completed in a lifetime. ”

"That's why you want immortality even more? If you can live forever, then wouldn't it be enough to learn with insight into the world? Yuhime asked rhetorically.

"Immortality...... Immortal ......" Xia Hongsheng shook his head and laughed: "Yingzheng has no immortality, Liu Che has no immortality, Yang Guang has no immortality, and Yingzheng has been immortal, Liu Che has also been immortal, and Yang Guang is also immortal." What you call immortality is not what I call immortality. With my immortality, there are countless immortals in the world, and with your immortality, no one can live forever! The deviation of what the world thinks! ”

Youji was stunned for a moment: "What does Childe mean by this?" (To be continued.) )
