The King Next Door

Chapter 17 Pickle Inspiration

Although they didn't find any news about Zong Lao, after discussing with each other, the two decided to go to the Rabbitman Village to stay for a while, and wait until this period of weakness is over.

The Rabbitman Village probably often receives and accepts homeless people, and it is not against the fact that two strangers go to the village.

Besides, Lei Mu and Wang Ye also rescued the villager Tu Yu, both of whom are awakened, and one of them... is not sure if he is a female, but there are many people who have a good impression of Lei Mu, and everyone is not opposed to letting him The two entered the village.

It was Lang Han and other orcs who were shocked after hearing the change in Lei Mu's aura, and looked at Lei Mu full of doubts.

At night, Wang Ye and Lei Mu listened to the roar of beasts and insects all night, but those beasts did not approach the camp. Even if they approached, they would avoid the patrolling villagers.

Wang Ye closed his eyes, and he saw countless little stars with star power like little by little, sprinkled one after another.

In the early morning of the next day, the Rabbitman villagers pulled out their camp and prepared to return to the village.

The width of the river is not small, Wang Ye and Lei Mu didn't see any boats, and were thinking about how so many villagers would cross the river.

A very inconspicuous long-eared orc stood up.

Several big rabbits jumped over, turned into human shapes, and put their hands on the orc.

The long-eared orc held out his hand, and a bridge stretched out from the camp ground.

The earth bridge gradually becomes wider and longer, presenting an arched extension to the opposite bank of the river.

About half an hour later, an earth bridge with a width of two meters and a length of at least fifty or sixty meters was completed.

"Quick! Hurry up and cross the river." Lang Han waved his hands and urged everyone.

At this time, all the rabbitman villagers were ready. Hearing Langhan's order, the villagers in front immediately rushed to the earth bridge with their harvests on their shoulders.

After that, the villagers followed one by one, and everyone moved skillfully and quickly, without any delay.

As soon as the earth bridge appeared, Wang Ye and Lei Mu saw the jumping shrimp.

A large number of jumping shrimp jumped out of the river as if stimulated, and stabbed at the bridge.

The earth bridge was attacked and the clods fell.

The villagers ran fast.

Lang Han kept urging.

Wang Ye smacked his lips, eyes full of greed: "It's such a big lobster, it must be delicious."

Lei Mu curled his lips: "When you can use your star power, let's come here again. I asked Rabbit Yu, The creatures in this river can be caught, as long as you have the ability."

"Okay." Wang Ye has already discovered that there are many good things in this Jumping Shrimp Valley, and he saw that the rabbitman villagers also collected herbs, flowers and wild vegetables here. , and some people harvested a lot of aquatic plants by the river.

However, the collection of villagers is very numerous, and there is no collection of root removal. In addition, I didn't try to catch fish and shrimp in the river. Maybe the creatures in the river are too powerful?

Rabbit Yu deliberately landed at the end, and rushed to the bridge deck with Lei Mu, Wang Ye, and Lang Jiang.

"As fast as you can run, the rabbit bridge can't hold on for too long." Tuyu reminded.

The big rabbit with its hand on the rabbit bridge also rushed across the bridge.

The rabbit bridge was the last to cross the bridge, and when he ran to the other side of the river, the earthen bridge immediately collapsed.

Lei Mu and Wang Ye observed from beginning to end. What Lei Mu saw was the other big rabbits instilling star power into the rabbit bridge, but what Wang Ye saw was that the soil that built the earth bridge returned to where it came from, and not all fell into the river.

Crossing the river and exiting the canyon, there are also continuous low hills on the opposite side of the canyon.

There are also no tall plants to be seen here, but there are a lot of weeds, unlike the way they came here, all they saw were sand, gravel and dust.

Rabbit Rain proudly told the two: "We will collect the seeds of weeds, and we will scatter the seeds after winter every year. Like many tribes, they don't do this. As a result, the land becomes more and more barren, and the wild animals There are fewer and fewer, so they have to continuously extend their hunting range, and finally even have to move." "

Will they fight because of the territory?" Lei Mu asked.

Rabbit Yu: "Of course. Our village is often robbed by people, but we are not afraid of them!"

Lang Han walked around, and quickly said: "Lei Mu, don't be afraid, I will protect you.

" Mu: "...Thank you. As a male, I think I still have the ability to protect myself."

Lei Mu emphasized the word "male". It's too embarrassing for a male to pursue.

Wang Ye squinted at Lang Han.

Lang Han didn't quite believe that Lei Mu was male, he always felt that Lei Mu used some special method to change his aura.

Moreover, Lei Mu's appearance is really in line with the preferences of the werewolves. Not all male werewolves can find a female partner. Some males live together because of need and because they like each other.

Lang Han felt that even if Lei Mu was really male, he could accept it.

As for the boy who stared at him with a cross-eyed look... a little male who has not grown up, has no obvious masculine aura, and is still paralyzed there needs to be protected by others, how can he have such a good partner as Lei Mu?

Lang Han didn't even bother to accept the boy's provocation, he would let Lei Mu see his excellence.

Rabbit Yu felt an inexplicable chill, rubbed his arms, and immediately urged several people: "Let's go back to the village quickly, the weather is getting colder and colder, maybe this year's winter solstice will come earlier." Here, the winter solstice has no fixed date

. When a snow falls, that day is the winter solstice.

Maybe they are going home soon, and most of the nervous rabbits showed smiles. Although they lost a few friends when they went out this time, they still collected fire mushrooms according to the original plan, and also collected a lot of winter supplies.

As for the few females who were most likely to be kidnapped by the Shanyou tribe, they had to return to the village and discuss with the village chief and village witch how to rescue them.

When approaching the residence where the Rabbitman Village is located, Lei Mu and Wang Ye also saw the fields.

The fields have basically been harvested, and many villagers are pulling out the roots of crops in the fields, collecting them and bringing them back to the village. These rhizomes can also be eaten in extreme cases, and they can be dried in the sun to make fuel, which is a valuable property of the villagers.

The village head and the village witch were very busy, and they didn't go out to meet them just because there were newcomers in the village.

Rabbitman Village often takes in homeless people, and has a mature plan for this, and it can be done accordingly.

Because Lei Mu and Wang Ye rescued Rabbit Rain, they don't need to be checked for status like ordinary homeless people, and then they can only live outside the village, and they need to do certain jobs in the village every day to stay.

As a guarantor, Tu Yu took Lei Mu and Wang Ye back to his home.

Lang Jiang really wanted to follow Wang Ye and Lei Mu, but he was too embarrassed to take advantage of them, and he didn't want to be a drag on them, so he consciously stayed outside the village, just like other homeless people who wanted to join Rabbitman Village , intending to work for the village in exchange for food and shelter.

"My house is not big, I think you may prefer to live by yourself. This is my old nest, a bit low, but you can clean it up and get through the winter first. After the winter, you want to leave or stay in the village That's fine, we'll see when the time comes."

Tu Yu pointed to a small soil bag and said to the three of them.

Wang Ye saw at a glance that this was a kind of pit-style residence, which had the advantage of being warm in winter and cool in summer, and suitable for relatively arid areas. The disadvantage is that it will be over when it rains.

There is a slope more than one meter wide in front of the earth bag, and the main entrance of the earth bag can be seen only when you go down the slope.

The door is supported by animal bones and animal skins.

Pushing open the door, there is a dark and low space inside, the highest point is only about 2.6 meters.

When tall males enter the house, the top of their head will touch the top of the wall.

The inside area is not big, the overall area is less than 30 square meters. There are two soil pillars in the middle supporting the top of the wall. The firepit and the bedroom are all in one place.

If Lang Jiang was here, he would be extremely satisfied with this little bumpkin. His house in the Werewolf Village was like this, not as big as this.

"Will the vagrants find a place to spend the winter in winter?" Lei Mu asked.

When he first entered the village, he found that there was a circle of land outside the village, and there were many small soil bags inside, and many orcs were busy inside. But when the orcs saw the returned villagers, they only had curiosity on their faces, but not much excitement.

Wolf Jiang was also taken there by a werewolf.

"Yes. Is this the first time for you to come to our boundless wilderness? The winter here is hard to bear. If there is no gathering place to take in, or if you don't have some special skills, the homeless people will only freeze to death outside." Rabbit Yu said

sincerely : "I know you are looking for someone, but I really don't recommend you to run around in winter, it's too dangerous. In winter, not to mention that all kinds of wild beasts and star beasts will have stronger attack power, and food will be more difficult to find, only cold The weather can kill people."

"You might as well spend the winter in our village first, although there is no way to share food and fire mushrooms with you, but at least you have a warm house. If you have the ability, you can also participate in hunting and gathering, Or make some exchanges to make the winter more comfortable. I will try my best to help you."

Rabbit Yu enthusiastically helped the two clean the house, and hired a rabbit man who is good at repairing the house to repair the cracks on the roof. And the fallen clods are filled.

This earth pit house is just like what Tu Yu said, although it is old, it is definitely no problem to carry it through the winter.

The rabbit man who came to help kept looking at Lei Mu and Wang Ye curiously.

But Lei Mu and Wang Ye had no intention of talking, the rabbit man could only leave full of curiosity.

Rabbit Yu's parents also came, bringing some fuel and a jar of pickles, which are invaluable here.

Wang Ye found that the jar of pickles had preserved the star power well, as did the jar and fuel, so he asked Rabbit Yu who made the jar of pickles, jar and fuel.

Rabbit Yu said casually: "Most people in our village know how to make pickled vegetables. If you like it, I'll give you some more. But only the craftsman can make jars, and only the craftsman knows how to store fuel. If you want more If there are too many pots, you have to trade with the craftsman. You have to find the village for fuel."

"Can I learn how to make pickles from you?" Wang Ye asked expectantly.

Rabbit Yu was surprised: "Do you want to learn this? Yes, this is very simple. As long as you have suitable vegetables or wild vegetables." "

We don't have suitable vegetables, but we can exchange them with you." Wang Ye took out a Chunks of pterosaur meat.

Rabbit Yu saw the fresh meat dripping with blood, and his eyes lit up: "What kind of meat is this?"

After tasting some blood, Rabbit Yu was even happier: "This is pterosaur meat! You are so good that you even The meat of this kind of flying star beast can be obtained, and the star power contained in it... This pterosaur has at least level three. Do you want to exchange wild vegetables? No problem, this piece of meat, you can exchange the amount of three altars, no Bring a jar."

"No, we just want to learn how to pickle vegetables from you, and then hope that you can provide all the materials. After it is done, we only need half a jar of pickles." "No. How much you

make is yours. Pickles are really simple. You guys rest tonight, and I will teach you tomorrow."

"Can I come tonight?"

"Uh, you are really impatient. Well, I'll find you later." Rabbit Yu looked It was getting dark outside, and it was still early, so I agreed.

Not long after, Rabbit Yu came over with a basket of wild vegetables, some seasonings, and a jar.

Wang Ye leaned on Lei Mu and listened carefully to Tu Yu's explanation.

Lei Mu knew that Wang Ye could not do meaningless things, so he listened and watched with all his attention.

"What's this?" Wang Ye asked, pointing to a kind of condiment that Tuyu put on the wild vegetables.

Rabbit Yu said unsuspectingly: "This is moss grass powder, which can enhance freshness."

The reason why Rabbit Yu was unsuspecting is that this kind of moss grass is easy to obtain, you can find it by turning over stones, and it grows everywhere The most common plant in the endless wilderness.

But this kind of moss cannot be eaten directly, it is poisonous when eaten fresh, and must be dried or dried.

Wang Ye pinched a little moss grass powder with his fingers, twisted it, and closed his eyes to perceive it.

Immediately, Wang Ye smiled.

Just like there is a joke in the science and technology of the earth, saying that the key to the development of science and technology lies in boiling water, while the alchemists of Double Moon Star believe that the key to alchemy lies in burning it.

But now, Wang Ye discovered what the basic method of star power application in this world is.
