1122. Chapter 1122: The Salt Tree

Na Xiu said: "Don't blame me for speaking ugly, this girl is unknown, as long as we are next to her, we will be unlucky, you see how much trouble she has brought to us along the way? I think this is her life, it is useless for you to save her, forget it." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Wushuang scolded: "Hey, you little rabbit cub, you haven't grown any hair, and you dare to teach me a lesson, don't you? You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and it's not your family's white vegetarian to catch up? Besides, let's either not save her in the first place, and if we save her, we have to watch her being caught by a group of big snails?"

"Hmph, you have a crush on Mu Qing's good looks, right? Be merciful everywhere! Are you embarrassed to say me?"

"Yes, yes, I just like her to be good-looking, what's wrong? Didn't you also fall under the pomegranate skirt of your vixen?"

"I'm me, I only have Sister Su as a woman, unlike you, Jinwu hides Jiao, hides one after another, Brother Shuang, do you say you can be busy?

The little black cat sat on the ground, its head swaying left and right, and it was quite happy to listen to their quarrel.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I don't know what kind of person you are, can we not save her? Look at what time it is, I must have wasted a lot of time after passing out for so long. Wushuang looked up, and the sun was already gradually turning west.

Na Xi exclaimed: "It's bad, it's three o'clock in the afternoon, and we have slept in the white cocoon for more than three hours unconsciously!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, I don't want to run out of the mountains in the middle of the night and pass this ghost place, especially this house!" Wushuang and Na Xi trotted all the way out of Ghost Ridge.

Outside the Ghost Ridge, along this tributary of the Yellow River, further north, the road becomes more and more rugged, a very narrow valley with clearer and clearer Yellow River water in the middle, and the distance between the two sides of the valley is only less than ten meters. And because of the low-lying terrain, it is warm and humid, and there are dense trees and weeds growing on both sides.

But fortunately, there was already a line of viscous liquid left on the ground, which was left behind by the giant snails just now.

"Brother Shuang, maybe this group of giant snails is the strange beast of Tiandu Peak guarding the Heavenly Tree, don't you have many means in the vein of stealing the treasure? Do you know what kind of species this thing is, and what can be used to restrain it? The appearance of that thing just now caught the two of us off guard, if we don't want to take measures, but those silk threads spit out of their mouths are enough for the two of us to drink a pot." Na Xiu said.

Wushuang's eyes kept looking ahead, and he saw a shrub about three meters high, and the trunk of this shrub was covered with moss. This valley is in a secret realm, and few people have ever visited, so the trees in the valley have risen violently, but this shrub has grown so tall, and the other trees are easy to attract a group of mosquitoes, flies or birds to inhabit it, but this strange shrub does not even have a shadow of a small insect.

The leaves of this strange tree were a bit like ferns, very loose, and under their strange leaves there were round grains of fruit the size of a thumb, and I didn't know if they could be eaten, and it was covered in a layer of brown gelatinous substance, which looked slimy.

"Talking to you, did you reply? What the hell? I was really angry just now? I said that on purpose, such a big man is so small? I didn't say that I wouldn't save her?"

This treasure holding technique is certainly good, and it can catch strange animals all day long, but it is the only thing that has never mentioned that there are such strange creatures, so if Wushuang wants to deal with it, he has to find a breakthrough from other places.

"I remember a few years ago I went to Yunnan with Lu Haotian, when Lu Dashao spent a lot of money and hired a local minority girl as a tour guide, the girl was a local Wa people, and she took us both to her cottage, and I remember that there was such a big tree growing at the entrance of their cottage. At that time, I also asked the Wa girl why on the eve of cooking, there were always many men climbing up the trees to pick slimy little fruits, and what delicious fruits were. The Wa girl said to me, "This strange shrub is called the salt tree, and the fruit on it is the salt fruit." You see, the shrub in front of us looks very similar to the salt tree I saw in the Wa village. Molluscs are generally afraid of salt and other harsh seasonings, such as ginger, chili peppers, soy sauce...... Most of their flesh is made up of liquid, and salt can corrode the water in their bodies, so let's try our luck and see if there is really salt in this strange little fruit. ”

Or not, how can there be salt on the tree? Maybe there is some other chemical in the fruit, which tastes more like salt.

"Whether it's salt or not, as long as it has a salty taste, it means that its chemical composition is similar to salt, brother, you work lightly, climb up and take a look at it." ”

Wushuang picked up the small fruit, stretched out his tongue and licked it, and found that the layer of mucus wrapped around the fruit did have a faint salty taste, but this salty taste is obviously different from seawater salt, it is a little lighter than seawater salt.

He couldn't wait to peel one open, and the white and tender flesh was immediately revealed, which was very delicate and smooth, and looked very moist, looking a little like a lychee, soft when pinched.

"Brother Shuang, don't try it blindly, what if it's poisonous?" said Na Xiu.

"No, I remember when I ate in the Wa village, the salty taste in the food was more similar to this. He took the tender white fruit in his mouth and tried to bite it. Ouch, it's a little bit interesting, it's very salty, although it's still not as salty as seawater salt, but it's very salty, and if you cook it, the taste is definitely better than seawater salt.

"Bah, Bah, Bah, give me that bottle of water! It's so salty!" Wushuang gulped a large bottle of mineral water. "That's it, come on, come on, empty your bag, don't want all the useless stuff!

That half-believed, I also tried to grow a fruit, not to mention, it was indeed salty. He climbed up the tree with the black cat, and picked all the fruit that could be filled, and they filled two large bags full of them, but fearing that they would not have enough, they filled their pockets with their clothes. Both of them walked unbalancedly, and there was a salty smell all over their bodies.
