Cultivation of true medicine and saints in the city

Chapter 865 Eat soil
indeed.

It was the first time that Zabu had eaten such a sweet and delicious food since he was a child. It was much more delicious than the "local rice" he usually ate.

After three or two strokes, Zhabu ate the tuber. The indescribably sweet taste made Zhabu couldn't help but smack his lips, with endless aftertaste.

"Here, I'll give you another piece."

Yiyi saw the longing in Zabu's eyes, and took out another piece from his pocket, handed it to Zabu, and said with a smile, "Eat it."

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yifan couldn't help admiring that women should be more careful, at least he didn't expect to feed Zhabu just now.

After tasting the delicacy of the tuber, Zhabu could no longer refuse it. He stretched out his hand involuntarily and took the tuber from Yiyi's hand. Glancing at Yiyi and Luo Yun, he said timidly, "Masters, can I, can I bring this food back to my father?"

"Master Heaven and Man?"

Hearing his name, almost everyone except Zhao Yifan and Cha Lunpeng froze for a moment.

"...Yes, is it possible?"

Zabu took the astonishment of Yiyi and the others as anger, and hurriedly explained in shock: "I, my father, he only ate 'local rice', and he has never eaten such good food...I, I want him to taste it."

"of course can."

Zhao Yifan smiled when he heard the words, and said to Yiyi: "Give him some more." Before coming out of the primeval forest, in order to avoid finding food, Zhao Yifan dug up a lot of tubers, enough for Yiyi and others to eat half of them. More than enough for many months.

Yiyi nodded, then took out some tubers and put them in Zhabu's hands.

Her actions were completely beyond Zhabu's expectations. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she said repeatedly with trembling lips: "Thank you, my lords, thank you..." At this moment, he was a little skeptical. Did you tell him that you lied to him?
"Little Zhabu, you can eat."

Luo Yun saw that Zhabu was obviously eager to eat some more tubers, but she still tried her best to hold back, she smiled and said: "These are for you, wait a while, after seeing your father, we will give him some more, don't worry Well, enough to keep you all full."

"thank you all……"

Zhabu was moved to tears, he stuffed the tuber into his mouth and ate it frantically.

That's right.

The way he eats can only be described by the word "crazy".

It's like someone who hasn't eaten for several days, his mouth is full of tubers. If it wasn't for the fact that this thing melts as soon as he bites it, Luo Yun even suspected that the tubers could choke Zhabu to death!

Seeing his appearance, Yiyi couldn't help pursing her lips and laughing, but only stopped after a few laughs, replaced by sympathy and pity.

Seeing Zhabu's shabby attire and his appearance, Yiyi can naturally guess what Zhabu's daily life should be like - he must not even have enough to eat.

"Uh……"

After Zhabu swallowed the tuber Yiyi just gave him just now, he felt his stomach swell and burst. He rubbed his stomach and couldn't help hiccupping. Seeing everyone smiling and looking at him, Zhabu's face Yihong lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Little Zab."

Yiyi subconsciously stretched out his hand and touched the top of Zabu's head again. This time, Zabu just trembled, and immediately let Yiyi meekly touch the top of his head.

Zhabu also knew that the elders in front of him were not malicious these days, otherwise, he would not have survived until now, let alone tasted food that he had never eaten before.

"My lords."

Zabu obediently responded.

"The 'earth rice' you mentioned just now, what kind of food is it?"

Yiyi asked curiously.

"This is it."

Zabu pointed to the black ground under his feet.

"What did you say?"

Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and looked at the black soil under his feet in disbelief, "What do you eat is soil?"

Even Zhao Yifan was surprised.

Liu Xiaotong simply grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, put it under his nose and smelled it, yes, this is soil!

"Yes."

Zab nodded.

"Can soil be eaten?" Liu Xiaotong couldn't help asking, "Can people digest this thing after eating it?"

Zhabu didn't understand what he meant by digestion, but he understood what he said before, nodded and explained: "Eatable, we usually eat this, use a tool to sift the soil, and then boil it with water , eat the paste on it." He gestured with his hand.

"I see."

Elizabeth suddenly spoke.

"Sister Elizabeth, what do you know?" Yiyi asked hastily.

"I've heard before that there are people eating dirt in Africa."

Elizabeth explained: "They have a kind of 'soil cake' locally, which is made of mud, and it is also mixed with water, and it can be eaten after drying. I guess Zhabu and the others are the same."

Zabu listened to it half-understood.

"Is there such a thing?"

Yiyi clicked her tongue when she heard that.

"Well, the people in Africa are very poor." Elizabeth nodded, her eyes fell on Zhabu's face, she looked carefully, and said: "The soil here should have relatively high nutritional value, look at Zhabu , although he is thin, but his complexion is not ugly."

Everyone observed carefully, and indeed, it was exactly as Elizabeth said.

Being looked at by everyone like this, Zabu felt a little uneasy, but he didn't dare to move.

"Little Zab."

Zhao Yifan smiled and said to Zhabu, "Where do you usually live?" He looked in the direction Zhabu came from, but he still only saw a flat area, and did not see any villages, towns or other buildings. thing.

"We live there."

Zabu thought for a moment, then turned his head and pointed in a direction.

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of his finger and found a sparse forest seven or eight miles away.

of course.

This sparseness is only sparse compared with the virgin forest they passed through before.

In fact, the woods were very large, but not very dense. Zhao Yifan looked intently, and saw vaguely behind the woods, there seemed to be some figures moving about.

"Little Zab."

Luo Yun saw the earthen jar at Zhabu's feet, and asked tentatively, "Do you have to walk so far every time you fetch water?"

"Yes."

Zhabu nodded, and then remembered the purpose of his trip, and said hesitantly: "Masters, can I fetch water first? My father is still at home waiting for me to go back and cook."

"of course can."

Luo Yun smiled and said to Liu Xiaotong: "Xiaotong, can you help him fetch some water?"

"Good Master Luo."

Liu Xiaotong naturally had no objection, he knew in his heart that Luo Yun wanted to take this opportunity to ask Zhabu more about the situation in this world.

"Still... shall I go?"

Zhabu was taken aback immediately, and said tremblingly, he never imagined that one day, the Great Master of Heaven and Man, whom everyone respected, would actually help him with such things as fetching water.

I'm afraid if you tell it, no one will believe it!

"No, just let him go."

Luo Yun waved his hand and said to Zhabu with a smile: "Is there anyone else in your family besides your father?"

"Nothing."

Zhabu shook his head sadly when he heard the words.

"What about your mother?"

Yiyi couldn't help asking.

"She's dead."

Zhabu's cheeks twitched visibly, and besides anger, there was also fear in his eyes.

Luo Yun winked at Yiyi, avoided the topic lightly, and started chatting with Zhabu about other matters.

Liu Xiaotong understood that Luo Yun asked him to fetch water, so he deliberately slowed down, stayed for a while, and then walked back unhurriedly.

In the past ten minutes, through the chat between Luo Yun and Zhabu, everyone has roughly understood some general situations in this world.

The place where Zabu and his father Tashi live is called Hebrun Village. There are about dozens of households, and there is no village chief. They are controlled by the Black Sky Tribe. All kinds of medicinal materials and ores should be handed over to the Heitian tribe.

From Zhabu's description, Zhao Yifan roughly judged some situations. For example, Hebrun Village is equivalent to a village in Huaxia Kingdom, while the Heitian Tribe is almost similar to a town or county seat.

As for the others, Zabu is not clear.

After all, Zabu is only ten years old. The method of counting time in this world is very simple. When the two suns in the sky fall to the horizon, it is one day. There are 30 days in a month and [-] days in a year. .

In addition, since he was a child, Zhabu has always lived in Hebrun Village. The farthest place he has been to is the Hetian tribe. That was when his father Tashi led him to the village when Zhabu was eight years old. The Heitian tribe handed over the medicinal materials planted.

That was the first time Zabu left his house. According to his description, the Hetian tribe is very prosperous, with many people, straight streets, and beautifully decorated houses on both sides.

but.

Zhao Yifan and others felt that this Heitian tribe, which Zhabu called very prosperous, was probably not as good as a small town in Huaxia Kingdom.

"...Masters of heaven and earth, are you really planning to go to Hebrun Village with me?"

When Zhabu heard that Luo Yun said that he would go to Hebrun Village with him, Zhabu was obviously shocked.

"Yes."

Luo Yun smiled and said to him: "Let's visit your house as a guest, okay? Do you welcome us?"

"...Of course I welcome it."

Zhabu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the sweetness left by the tuber he ate just now faintly remained on the tip of his tongue, and he said with some fear: "But my father said that the lords of heaven and man would not come to our poor rural areas, even Even the people living in the Heitian tribe, they are not qualified to meet the heavenly and human elders."
