Chapter 472
"Thank you for telling me the news, old man, but why did you suddenly appear here? Are you lost or do you just live here?"
Xu Anyan was a little baffled, the sudden appearance of this old lady startled him, but she shouldn't be a bad person, so he felt relieved.
"I live here."
The smile on the old lady's face was very kind, and she said to Xu Anyan with a gentle smile, Xu Anyan nodded, a little speechless, the fruit on her hand had been wiped clean, Xu Anyan put the dried fruit to his mouth, but Suddenly, I heard the nervous voice of the old lady.
"Young man, you can't eat this fruit, it's poisonous!"
Xu Anyan's words startled Xu Anyan. Holding the fruit in his hand, Xu Anyan seemed to hear the sound of his stomach growling. She hadn't eaten for several days. Although the fruit in front of her was average in appearance, It still fell from the tree, but at this time, in his eyes, it was a life-saving thing and a good delicacy.
The old grandma said that the fruit is poisonous and blunt, which frightened him. Xu Anyan took this fruit to eat it, and it was not right not to eat it. He didn't know what to do for a while.
"Old man, you are telling the truth. How do you know that this fruit is poisonous? What will happen if you get poisoned? You shouldn't die. I haven't eaten for a long time, and my wife hasn't eaten for a long time. We're going to starve to death..."
Xu Anyan's voice was full of frustration, and the old lady's face was full of sympathy after hearing these words.
"How could I not know that this fruit is poisonous? I have lived here for decades. Every year, people will die of poisoning due to eating this fruit by mistake. But this tree is so big, and I have no way to give it to me. Cut them down, besides, this kind of fruit trees are everywhere in this forest, even if I want to cut them down, there is no way.
Every year, there are always so many people who are poisoned and die in this forest. Of course, I can save one or the other. "
The old grandma said, after hearing these words, Xu Anyan finally believed it, so he had to throw the fruit in his hand on the ground. He took a look and found that although the forest was a large green area, it was vaguely revealed. When it was red, he took a closer look, and it was really this kind of fruit tree.
At this moment, Xu Anyan was extremely depressed, and finally got through to the time when he could eat, but the forest was full of poison, how could he talk about it.
"Young man, I think you are really hungry. Why don't you come to my house with me? Although there is nothing delicious at my house, it's just some simple food, but it can always fill you up temporarily. Not to starve to death."
The old lady was very enthusiastic. She took a step forward and wanted to hold Xu Anyan, but Xu Anyan took a step back on purpose, her eyes were very vigilant. Looking at the old lady in front of her, this routine was very familiar.
If it wasn't for being unguarded at the time and entering Wumingzi's house, none of them would have suffered such a catastrophe. Now another old lady appeared in front of him and invited him to the house. Although Xu Anyan's stomach was growling Calling, but no matter how I look at it, I always feel uneasy.
It's just that the old lady in front of her has always had a kind face, and her words make people feel that she is not a bad person, Xu Anyan's heart is swaying left and right.
"Young man, don't be afraid. My house is just ahead, and only me and the old man of our family have lived here for decades. We have also received many young people who got lost accidentally. Just don't worry."
The old grandma was still very enthusiastic, with a gentle smile on her face, and looked in the direction the old grandma was pointing at. Xu Anyan really saw that there was indeed a small wooden house about 200 meters away, the small wooden house It looks very delicate.
At this moment, Xu Anyan's stomach groaned again. It was his body protesting to him. To be cheated by the old woman in front of her would be death at worst.
But if he didn't eat food, he would starve to death, and the feeling of starving to death would be even more uncomfortable, so Xu Anyan nodded his head hard.
"In this case, I thank you, old man!"
Xu Anyan also had no choice but to be ruthless. Anyway, the big deal was to take a risk. He followed the old lady and walked slowly towards the house. The old lady seemed to be in poor health, her legs and feet were not convenient, and she walked very slowly.
At this time, the old lady was carrying a basket on her arm. Xu Anyan took a look. There were some mushrooms in the basket. Some of them were very beautiful and bright mushrooms that he had seen just now, and some of them were mushrooms that he had never seen before. of.
"Old man, are these mushrooms edible?"
Xu Anyan asked, the grandma smiled and nodded at this moment, if she couldn't eat it, what else would she do with these mushrooms?
"Of course you can eat it. My old man and I have lived in this forest for decades. We usually pick some of these mushrooms to eat when we are free. Don't look at the bright colors, but in fact they are not. It is poisonous, as long as it is cooked at high temperature, we have eaten it for decades, if it is really poisonous, I will not live to this day."
The two talked and walked all the way, finally stopped in front of this house, Xu Anyan looked around, after Wu Mingzi's incident, he also became quite vigilant at this time.
Glancing at the old granny, the house was exactly as the old granny said. At this time, an old man came out of the house. The old man still had a cane in his hand. The clothes on his body looked shabby, and it could be seen that they had been worn for some years.
There are some chickens, ducks and geese in captivity around the house, and a lot of vegetables are planted beside it, it seems that it is really a family living in seclusion in this mountain, Xu Anyan feels relieved a lot.
"Oh, there are guests at home, hurry up and sit down here, and ask the old woman to bring you some side dishes, young man, I see that your face is dull, it seems that you have lost your way in this mountain for a long time Well, I guess I haven't eaten for a few days, let me tell you, most of the fruits in this forest are poisonous, so don't eat them blindly, it will be a disaster if you get poisoned."
Xu Anyan sat down, and the old man warmly entertained him, picked up a teapot from the side, and picked up a worn-out cup and put it in front of Xu Anyan, poured a cup of tea, it really looked like an ordinary person .
Only then did Xu Anyan feel relieved, picked up the teacup and drank a few sips of tea, the old grandma carried the basket in her hand, fetched a bucket of water from the nearby well to wash the mushrooms, and then turned around and entered with the basket in her hand. There was a small kitchen next to it, Xu Anyan was relieved after seeing all this.
"Thank you both for entertaining me today. When I finish my work, I will definitely thank you very much."
Xu Anyan was embarrassed by his worries and doubts along the way, so he spoke to the old man.
"Young man, listen to what you said. You have a mission to go all the way into this deep mountain and old forest. If you don't mind, can you tell me, the old man, what the mission is?"
