Chapter 1259: Old man in the forest

Li Zhenbang spent three days in Yunmengze, but Tigle didn't find him this time. He must have been really unable to find him, and he was completely lost in Yunmengze.
If Li Zhenbang's mental power is the same as before, it might not be so, but now Li Zhenbang has neither mental power nor way to connect with the acquired bag, so he can only rely on himself.
Yunmengze is surrounded by clouds and mist, making it difficult to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest. It is reasonable to say that such an environment should breed a lot of warcrafts, but in fact, there are no warcrafts here except for some poisonous snakes and beasts.
Of course, it could also be because Li Zhenbang didn't go deep into Yunmengze, and he just wandered around the edge of Yunmengze.
Fortunately, the space ring can still be used. There is still some food in it. Although it is not too much, it will not allow Li Zhenbang to eat grassroots and bark.
Li Zhenbang secretly rejoiced that he never released Xiaopang after leaving Haifeng City for the convenience of his journey. If he and Xiaopang came here, it would be really lively, I am afraid he can't even eat the bark of the grass roots. Up.
He wasn't worried that Xiao Pang would be hungry in the Houtian Bag, because the Houtian Bag had enough energy, and when he was in Yongshou City, he bought a lot of food and ingredients and put it in the Houtian Bag.
Even if there is no Xiaopang, he will buy a lot of food and ingredients to store in the acquired bag. So many contract summoned beasts need to be fed by Li Zhenbang, and some of them are bigger than Xiaopang, which is actually not easy for him.
In the past few days in Yunmengze's life, Li Zhenbang has not achieved nothing. He has unearthed a lot of herbal medicines that are not low in age.
Although none of these herbs can nourish the soul, many of them are still helpful for his body recovery.
Li Zhenbang stuffed a vermilion fruit into his mouth and chewed it, and the vermilion fruit juice flowed out along the corner of Li Zhenbang's mouth.
The ripe vermillion fruit is a kind of flaming red fruit. It is not only sweet and sour, but also full of juice, which can be used to fill hunger and quench thirst, and the energy contained in it can also be used to replenish physical strength.
Unripe vermillion fruit cannot be eaten. It is not only sour and unpalatable, but also poisonous. In mild cases, the body will be paralyzed for a period of time.
Ripe vermillion fruit and immature vermillion fruit are easy to distinguish. The mature vermillion fruit is flaming red, and it is very elastic to pinch, while the unripe vermillion fruit is green throughout, as hard as a walnut skin.
Zhu Guo is actually not uncommon in the wild, but mature Zhu Guo is rare. One is because wild beasts or monsters can also eat Zhu Guo, and the other is that mercenaries who are adventurous in the wild will see mature Zhu Guo. Pick it and eat it or store it.
Although the vermillion fruit here cannot be said to be everywhere, there is no problem finding two or three mature vermillion fruit within a kilometer. It is estimated that very few people will come here. After all, the locals are not willing to set foot here.
"Huh? What's the smell? It smells good!" As Li Zhenbang was walking and groping, he suddenly smelled a scent.
After smelling this scent, Li Zhenbang felt that the vermilion fruit, which was still delicious just now, suddenly became tasteless.
Li Zhenbang cautiously searched for the fragrance, only to see a courtyard surrounded by a wooden fence not far in front.
Li Zhenbang came closer and found that there was a small wooden house in the courtyard. The chimney of the wooden house was smoking, and the smell was coming from the wooden house.
"Huh? I didn't expect someone to live here. Are you going to have dinner?" Li Zhenbang licked his lips, his stomach grumbled, and he hadn't eaten seriously for several days.
If this were to be placed in the past, let alone skipping meals for a few days, there would be no problem if water and rice did not enter for half a month, but now Li Zhenbang is similar to ordinary people, but his body is better than ordinary people.
Although Li Zhenbang had already moved his index finger after smelling the scent, he did not dare to open the door easily.
Yun Mengze was originally an unusual place. He hadn't even seen an expeditionary mercenary in the past few days, but suddenly a house appeared, and there might even be people living in the house, which made him careless.
Just when Li Zhenbang was hesitant to go in outside the door, a voice suddenly came out from the wooden house, "Why hang around outside the door? The old man is preparing to eat, how about coming in and tasting the old man's craftsmanship?"
There was no hostility in the voice, it sounded very kind, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, as if the people in the wooden house were chatting with an acquaintance.
After all, Li Zhenbang is a person who has seen strong winds and waves. Although he has little ability now and does not know whether the people in the wooden house are friends or enemies, since the other party has already sent an invitation, if he refuses or evades, he will fall behind.
As the so-called soldiers are coming to cover the water and the earth, it has been hard to see a living person these days. Whether the person in the wooden house is an enemy or a friend, or a passerby at all, he always wants to see him, even if it’s just a chat. The sentence is also good.
"Since the master has kindly invited me, if I don't go in, I will be a little bit unreasonable. Besides, I'm really hungry. It's better to respect my life!" Li Zhenbang laughed, opened the courtyard door, and stepped into the courtyard without anything. He hesitated, pushed open the wooden door of the wooden house directly, and walked into the wooden house.
Don't look at Li Zhenbang entering the wooden house daringly, but in fact he always remains vigilant. Once the people in the wooden house are going to be against him, he will never stay.
The inside of the wooden house is not as foggy as it is outside. The furnishings inside the house are relatively simple, and they are basically made from local materials.
Both tables, chairs and beds are made of large trees outside, and even the cups on the table are carved from wood.
There was only one gray-haired old man at the table, who seemed to be a human. The wooden walls are covered with various animal skins, which seem to be used to protect against cold and moisture.
The old man smiled and looked at Li Zhenbang, "I haven't seen a stranger for a long time, but meeting is fate. I think you should be hungry too? Come and eat with my old man?"
"The kid is really hungry, so I'm not welcome!" Li Zhenbang said, walking to the table, and sat down on the wooden chair opposite the old man.
"Old sir, can I use the bowls and chopsticks?" Li Zhenbang glanced at the not delicate but fragrant food on the table, couldn't help licking his lips, then raised his head and asked the old man with a smile.
The aroma of the food is indeed similar to what he smelled, but the aroma inside the house is even stronger. Just smell it, and you already feel refreshed.
"I'm really sorry, I'm the only one living here all year round, so there is only one pair of tableware. My pair of tableware hasn't moved yet. Would you like to use it first?" The old man said, turning the tableware in front of him towards Li Zhenbang's Pushed in the direction.
"Old gentleman, isn't it so good? You have not eaten as the host. My guest robbed you of your job. This is a bit unreasonable." Although Li Zhenbang said beautifully, his eyes never left the table. The meal, even swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"It's okay, I'm an old man who eats less. It's okay to eat less, I can't neglect the guests!" The old man said with a smile.
"Then I'm not welcome!" Li Zhenbang smiled and took the dishes and chopsticks. Without any hesitation, he went straight to eat.
The old man smiled and picked up the wooden wine glass on the table, then took a sip, and then looked at Li Zhenbang with happiness...
"Sir, I'm really sorry, I ate all your food, mainly because it was too delicious, I really can't take it anymore!" Li Zhenbang put down the bowls and chopsticks still intently, and said embarrassed on his mouth, but with an expression. But there is no sense of embarrassment.
"You are a funny person. We never did, so you are not afraid of me poisoning the food?" The old man pecked the wine in the glass, and then looked at Li Zhenbang with a full smile.
"Old gentleman, you also said that we have never had any enmity, so there is no enmity between us. If there is no enmity, why did you poison me?" Li Zhenbang said calmly, disregarding it.
Li Zhenbang’s words are nice, but in fact, he is not afraid of being poisoned by the other party. Since he solved the poisonous dragon king, his body's anti-toxin ability has been greatly improved, and most of the toxins are nothing to him. Worked.
"Haha, interesting! Really interesting!" The old man nodded and laughed.
"Would you like to taste the fruit wine I brewed? This is made by me mixing the vermillion fruit in the forest and some rare fruits. You can't drink it outside." The old man shook the wine gourd in his hand. .
"Oh? Then I really want to have a drink to see if the old man is a must in cooking, but also in winemaking!" Li Zhenbang stretched out his hand to get the wine gourd.
"Eh! It's okay to drink, but you have to listen to me first. This wine is not an ordinary wine, I call it fairy drunk! If you drink a glass, you will have to get drunk for at least one day and one night. Would you dare to try it?" The old man shrank his hand and took the wine gourd back into his arms.
"Oh? The fairy is drunk? Interesting! Drink it, why not dare? Now even if you don't let me drink, I have to try it. As the saying goes, I just want to get drunk for a while! Your old man is stingy and can't bear to give it to me!" Li Zhenbang raised his eyebrows.
"Okay! Since you said that, then I will leave the words here too, as long as you dare to drink the fairy drunk, I will never stop it, and I will give you as much as you can drink!" The old man seemed to be angry. The wine gourd in his hand was thrown to Li Zhenbang.
"Okay! It's a deal!" Li Zhenbang finished speaking, and opened the cork of the wine gourd, and a refreshing breath instantly floated out of the wine gourd.
"Good wine! I said that when I ate just now, I always felt that the taste and smell were a little different. It turned out that it was missing!" Li Zhenbang suddenly realized.
