Chapter 752: Offerings for the Harvest Festival(1/2)

Meng Chao was speechless.

I don’t want to have a meaningless verbal dispute with a young girl.

After thinking for a while, he changed the subject and continued to ask: "But, why am I lying here - this should be your home, right? I mean, even if you pick me up, shouldn't I be sent to the hospital or something?

Place, centralized treatment and... custody?"

"I've heard of places like 'hospitals', but there is no hospital in Taoyuan Town," Gu Ling said.

"No hospital?"

Meng Chao was stunned again.

Judging from the skyline of this town, in the Earth Age, it should be one of the larger satellite cities around Dragon City. It must have its own district-level hospital, and maybe there are branches of provincial and municipal-level hospitals.

After time travel, the living environment is harsh. Whether it is treating illnesses or injuries, or exploring higher peaks in life sciences, hospitals are an indispensable infrastructure for civilization.

How could there be no hospital in Taoyuan Town?

"Then what should you do if you are sick or injured?" Meng Chao asked curiously.

"We rarely get sick."

Gu Ling said proudly, "The air, water and food in Taoyuan Town are a hundred times cleaner than on the earth. In addition, we have no conflicts and worries. Everyone helps each other and is happy. The life is extremely happy, and all diseases are naturally cured."

It’s gone!

"If we really get sick or injured, don't be afraid. The spirit animals will take us to the jungle to find many exotic flowers and herbs, chew them up and eat them, or apply them on wounds. Most of the injuries will disappear."

"..."

Meng Chao didn't believe it.

If primitive herbalism and witch medicine were so effective, there would be no need for earthly civilization to develop modern medicine.

"What if taking the herbal medicine is not good?" He broke the casserole and asked.

"Then we can only die." Gu Ling shrugged and said calmly.

"die……"

Meng Chao was stunned again.

After traveling through time, the people of Longcheng are known for "looking down on life and death and doing whatever they want". Their views on life and death are much more open-minded than those on Earth.

But a little girl in her early ten years mentioned death so lightly and calmly, which still made him feel that his three views were subverted.

"That's right, if it's not good after taking the herbal medicine, then you will have to die!"

Gu Ling said angrily, "Flowers bloom and wither, leaves are lush and fall, insects turn into butterflies, and butterflies rot in the mud. Birth, old age, sickness and death are all natural laws!"

“We humans are also part of nature. As long as we live happily every day of our lives, what’s so scary about death?

"To die, to be thrown into the mud deep in the jungle, and let the moss, fungi, lichens, snakes, insects, rats, and ants eat us up. It won't take long for our corpses to grow into colorful new lives. This is not a thing.

Is it a good thing?

"On the other hand, people on Earth obviously live in such a harsh environment, are bullied and oppressed by their own kind, work like cows and horses all day long, and live an unbearable life, but they are extremely afraid of the ultimate relief of death. Isn't it strange?"

Meng Chao once again controlled the urge to argue with the little girl.

Taking a deep breath, he said: "Well, it seems that you are all quite brave and not afraid of death. However, aren't your family afraid that I will be bad for you after I wake up? You also said that outsiders are not used to Taoyuan.

Life in the town is likely to cause a lot of noise, damage the environment, and even hurt ordinary townspeople."

"That's right, so I can only carry you home. This is the only place where you are not afraid of making a fuss!" Gu Ling said.

"Um?"

Meng Chao was slightly startled.

The pupils suddenly shrank into two pinpoints.

Murderous aura, he felt strong murderous aura coming from everywhere in the room.

Suddenly, accompanied by murderous intent, two vines covered with thorns and three giant pythons with scales standing up like blades came out of the window.

Heavy breathing sounds came from the corridor, and several ghost leopards covered with poisonous snake patterns were lying at the door, like cannonballs ready to go.

But Meng Chao only activated 10% of his psychic vision ability, and he could sense that there were dozens of super beasts dormant on the ceiling and under the floor, including many big ones like hell beasts.

He had no doubt that as long as he got more excited, these monsters would swarm him and calm him down.

"Brother Meng Chao, will you hurt me?" Gu Ling asked with a smile.

"of course not."

Meng Chao said seriously, "I am the person who is most against violence and loves small animals. Speaking of which, are these...spiritual beasts your pets?"

"They are not pets, they are all my friends."

Gu Ling said, "We Taoyuan people don't like keeping pets. All spiritual beasts are our friends."

"It seems that you are very good at communicating with these 'friends'." Meng Chao said.

"Anyone can communicate with spirit beasts. They are very kind and friendly to begin with!"

Gu Ling said, "Even the most extreme and stubborn of outsiders can learn to communicate well with spirit beasts as long as they are sent to the 'Wisdom Tree' to meditate for a few days, and should not resort to wielding swords or guns at every turn."

This is the second time Meng Chao heard the name "Wisdom Tree".

It sounds like it should be related to the core secret of Taoyuan Town.

Of course, regardless of whether the Taoyuan Town in front of him actually exists, every piece of information presented to Meng Chao is a secret worthy of careful study.

"I see. It seems that Taoyuan Town is indeed a very interesting place."

Meng Chao calmed down and said, "Miss Gu Ling, can you tell me more about the history of Taoyuan Town? How did you build and develop after you traveled here, as well as your daily life, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and livelihood.

method, etc.

"Also, can I see other outsiders? Among the people floating down the Peach Blossom River, is there anyone who is very tall, has a very strong aura, is very aggressive, and feels a bit overbearing..."

"What?" Gu Ling asked.

"Forget it, it's nothing, I just want to know the status of all my companions." Meng Chao said.

"Of course. Even if you don't ask, I will tell you slowly. Only in this way can I help you better integrate into Taoyuan Town and live here forever!"

Gu Ling said, "However, today is the Harvest Festival, and everyone has to celebrate and offer sacrifices. In this way, I will take you out to eat something first, and then we will participate in the biggest festival in Taoyuan Town together. Let's eat, watch and chat, okay?"

?

"All outsiders, as long as they get used to the life here, at least not so excited and won't cause damage, they will come to the harvest festival, and you will see many of your companions soon."

"That's the best thing to do, then I'll have to trouble Miss Gu Ling."

Meng Chao decided to stand still and see what medicine the opponent was selling in his gourd.

Gu Ling opened the closet and took out a large wooden box containing Earth T-shirts and jeans.

"Is this a festive costume?"

Meng Chao said, "Should I avoid it first?"

"certainly not."

Gu Ling covered his mouth and smiled, "This is the sacrifice that will be burned later."

To exchange good books, follow the vx official account. [Book Friends Base Camp]. Follow now and receive cash red envelopes!

"Sacrifice?" Meng Chao was completely confused.

"Yes, the sacrifices, these clothes and pants are all made using very evil methods. Especially the printing and dyeing process of these jeans uses a large amount of chemical raw materials, which will produce serious pollution. Any establishment on earth

In places where there are large denim clothing processing factories, the rivers are polluted in various colors, and the smell is stinky, let alone drinking it into the stomach."

Gu Ling said seriously, "These earth industrial products are a symbol of sin. Every year during the harvest festival, we will collect some earth industrial products and burn them. On the one hand, it means that we have drawn a clear line with earth civilization and are determined to develop a more harmonious world."

A new civilization of nature; on the other hand, it is also a sacrifice to this paradise, praying for good weather and good luck in hunting and gathering in the coming year.

"I heard that a long time ago, earth's industrial products were relatively easy to find. But as winter turns to spring and time passes year by year, more and more earth's industrial products have been burned or naturally decayed. I want to find a complete memorial.

It’s getting more and more difficult to taste!

"I spent a lot of effort to get these good-quality sacrifices. Of course, I have to keep them carefully and sacrifice them completely. Only then can I catch the 'big guy' in the jungle next year!"

As she spoke, the little girl picked up a large wooden box filled with Earth T-shirts and jeans.

Meng Chao glanced at the door.

Several Nether Leopards were still crouching there deeply, as motionless as cannonballs waiting to be fired.

Gu Ling whistled.

Several vines protruding from the window intertwined with each other, like a staircase leading straight to the ground along the window.

"..."

Meng Chao looked at the branches and leaves on the vine that were trembling like mimosa, as if waving to him, and he was a little unable to move forward.

After stepping on the vines to the road outside the house, Meng Chao looked back and realized that he had just slept in a three-story building covered with flowers and ivy.

The entire building was submerged in a sea of ​​flowers and green tide, and its original shape could not be seen.
