The ability of a wild rat in the mountain to make the old man so excited is probably related to what the old man mentioned as "thousand grains of gold"?

Shao Xuan didn't wait much and quickly followed the wild rat.

The wild mouse ran very fast, but he ran and stopped. When he stopped, he looked around with caution and continued to run if he did not notice the threat.

Shao Xuan could only use some low trees or slightly taller grass to cover it. The plants in this area were not growing very well, and there were not many covers to find. It would be a little more difficult to keep up quietly.

For Shao Xuan, even if it is more difficult, he can overcome it and successfully keep up with the wild rat, but the old man is not good. The hidden skills are not as good as Shao Xuan, so he can only follow him farther away. Fortunately, he doesn't have to stare at the wild rat, he just needs to follow Shao Xuan.

After following for about twenty minutes, the wild rat finally stopped. Shao Xuan stood not far away and watched the wild rat enjoy food. He turned around and waved his hand to the old man following behind.

Even if Shao Xuan didn't know the plant, he could be sure that it was not the "thousand-grain gold" that the old man said. It was just a shrub nearly one meter high, with some red fruits as big as a small fingernail on it. The wild rats targeted those red fruits.

Looking at the wild rat whose eyes were narrowed by eating fruit, the old man sighed: "What a pity."

However, the old man did not have much hope. He knew that "thousand grains of gold" were difficult to find, so he was mentally prepared.

After the wild rat enjoyed the food, it slowly ran in other directions, still running and eating, but not as fast as before.

Some birds smaller than sparrows flew over in the sky and pecked at the fruits.

Before the birds pecked the fruits, the old man quickly stepped up and stroked them, and threw them into his mouth one by one.

There was a raised stone on the ground next to it, and the old man sat there, eating fruits while looking around the mountain.

"Do you know this tree?" Shao Xuan asked.

"I don't know you, it's my first time eating it." said the old man.

Shao Xuan pulled his mouth and reached out to pick a few fruits from the low shrub and threw them into his mouth. It was a bit sweet and tasted OK. No wonder the wild mouse rushed here in a hurry.

When hunting in the mountains, if you see plants you don’t know, even if the fruit looks tempting, the hunting soldiers will not touch them. Unless they see other animals eating, they will try it little by little before they can determine whether they can be included in the recipe. However, the old man obviously relies on his detoxification constitution and eats it unscrupulously. Shao Xuan believes that even if he has not seen the scene of wild rats and birds, the old man will still eat it.

"Old Ju. Why do you want to try all kinds of trees, flowers and plants? Try the poison with your body?" Shao Xuan asked.

"Yes, whether it is a poison or a very beneficial drug, you need to try it before you know that there are still many waiting to be discovered in the future. Our family has started countless attempts from our ancestors. The things we eat and use can only be obtained after trying them. Daggers, bread, beds, mattresses, pillows, tea, wine, vinegar, sugar, oil, which one was not tried by our ancestors?" As he said that, the old man showed an extremely respectful look in his eyes. He didn't even eat the fruit, with infinite emotion: "Our descendants should inherit the will of our ancestors and shine forever! His achievements will last forever!"

Shao Xuan watched the old man spitting everywhere, passionately. This man really wanted to carry forward the entrepreneurial spirit, pioneering spirit and self-occupied spirit of his ancestors. The old man's biggest goal now is to find the "thousand grains of gold" mentioned in the ancestor's notes before he died.

"Even if you just meet, you will be satisfied." The old man said.

Since I have seen the "thousand grains of gold" mentioned in the notes of our ancestors, the old man has no peace of mind when he sleeps and eats. Especially in many places now, many places are drought and the harvest of grain crops is poor. Nowadays, not everyone is willing to hunt. Many people with low abilities and politeness are used to digging food from the ground. Not many people are willing to fight with beasts in the distant mountains and forests. Moreover, there are no more animals around the places where many people gather. If you want to hunt, you have to run farther away. Furthermore, the dense forests have been occupied by some fierce tribes. Those people are not easy to talk to, and they start fighting in a disagreement, especially those with horns.

If you can find more drought-resistant food crops, you can alleviate your current state to a certain extent. As for what Shao Xuan said about asking for rain, there are people asking for rain every year, but unfortunately they can't get it. I get angry when I think of this old man. Those people even claim to be descendants of the ancient witch clan, and they can collect their salary quickly. They make excuses when asking for rain, and they are simply a group of waste!

After resting, the two continued to walk along the main route, but occasionally slipped onto the mountain halfway through.

Two days later, there was still no shadow of "Thousand Grains of Gold".

In the past two days, the old man was poisoned four times because he encountered strange plants. One of them even bleeded in seven orifices, which was very scary. Shao Xuan thought that the old man could not survive. As a result, after the old man had been wilted for a long time, he continued to look for thousands of gold again.

In this regard, Shao Xuan had to lament the strength of the drug rehabilitation system of the old man clan.

Many times, Shao Xuan listens to the old man's story, occasionally saying a few words, and most of the time he is just a listener. From the old man's words, Shao Xuan can infer some things, such as the old man did not come from a tribe, but from a city under the jurisdiction of the slave owner, and the old man himself is a slave owner.

This is the first time Shao Xuan has seen such a slave owner. His impression of slave owners was all about the group of people in the desert. Now he rarely encounters an alternative slave owner.

"No, I'll take a break first, look around." The old man leaning on a branch sat down against the mountain wall, "I'm old, no longer as I used to be, I think of the past..."

"You should stop 'thinking back when you were in the past'. Go to bed quickly and get up and go on a rush." ​​Shao Xuan said.

Because she followed this old man, Shao Xuan's footwork slowed down a lot and took the shortest route. After walking for two days, there was no feeling of lushness around her. I wonder if she could see a little dense forest when walking for another two days at this speed.

Since he agreed to go with the old man, Shao Xuan would not leave the person halfway. Just slow down, he was not particularly in a hurry.

In this barren area, Shao Xuan has not seen a large beast until now, but has seen several human skeletons.

After scanning the surroundings, Shao Xuan recalled the useful plants that the old man introduced to him today. If he saw them within his field of vision, Shao Xuan would silently meet in his heart and review them.

Just as he was thinking about it, Shao Xuan heard the sound of running. The sound was not loud, but the sound and rhythm were very similar to the wild rat he had followed before.

If it were just one, Shao Xuan heard the movements of several.

Could it be that this is a wild rat's nest?

Shao Xuan stood up and looked at the place where the sound came.

A few wild rats from different directions ran towards the same direction. The posture was not like escaping, but more like the wild rats looking for fruits before, with eagerness and desire.

"Old Ju! Hello, wake up, Old Ju is in trouble!" Shao Xuan pushed the old man who was already asleep.

"What's wrong?" Because Shao Xuan was guarding, the old man was reluctant to fall asleep. Before he could sleep, he was woken up by Shao Xuan and was a little confused for a moment.

Shao Xuan was planning to follow the old man to talk about his discovery, but before he could speak, the old man had already trembled his ears and heard the movements around him. This was completely a professional conditioned reflex, and he could just skip other sounds when he heard them, but some specific sounds could stimulate his nerves in the shortest time.

A shiver, the old man was so excited that he was completely sleepy. Looking around, the old man threw away the wooden stick as a crutch and climbed up the mountain wall.

The view here is not good, so he has to go to a higher place to see it. However, there are no thick trees around. Looking at the surrounding terrain, the most time-saving thing is to climb the mountain wall.

"Hey, please wait." Shao Xuan was afraid that his foot would slip and fell down, so he was on guard. If the old man was excited and fell down from above, he could continue to click.

But the old man who was too excited couldn't care so much, so he just focused on climbing up. Seeing that he had difficulty climbing, Shao Xuan helped him.
