Wei San and Liao Runing were still standing by the stream to defend them. After Jin Ke packed the water, he gave them fruits.
The fruit is not big, about the same thickness as their thumb. The yellow skin has many bruises, and the juice that bursts when they bite into it is full of bitterness.
Wei San accepted it first, took one, took a bite, and then swallowed it.
Her expression was so normal that Liao Runing didn’t think much at all and picked up a piece of fruit as thick as a thumb and bit down: “Yuck!”
Master Liao’s face was distorted, and he grabbed his neck with his hands. He almost fainted. He bent down and spit out the fruit in his mouth, and stood up weakly: “Wei San, why didn’t you warn me of such a bitter thing?!”
“Is it bitter? I think it’s okay.” Wei San looked down at the long yellow fruit in her hand and stuffed the remaining half into her mouth.
Jin Ke also picked up one and said: “This is called water jade fruit. It tastes bitter but has high nutritional value. It clears away heat and detoxifies and has a lot of water. Young master, it is better to eat something bitter occasionally.”
After that, he took a bite confidently: “……Yuck!”
Master Liao crossed his arms and looked at Jin Ke with raised eyebrows: “It’s not bad to suffer a little occasionally.”
Even after swallowing it, the bitter smell that shocked his taste buds never dissipated.
Jin Ke had been memorizing relevant knowledge about the rainforest for half a month before coming in. He knew that the jade fruit tasted bad, but he never expected that the taste would be so…… abnormal.
Jin Ke and Liao Runing looked at Wei San, who was eating the jade fruit without changing her expression, and couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up.
“Are your taste buds broken?” Liao Runing watched her eat and felt a bitter taste rising in his throat.
“It’s not.” Wei San held half of a jade fruit in her mouth, “It’s still within the tolerance range.”
This smell is nothing compared to the rotten smell of the garbage dump.
Jin Ke couldn’t eat it, so he put it back and picked out another batch of red fruits: “This one is very sour, it should be a bit better.”
Liao Runing only took a small bite this time, but was still shocked by the sourness: “These are quite some wild fruits, their taste is so exciting.”
“There’s nothing we can do, just bear with it.” Jin Ke closed his eyes, stuffed the red fruit into his mouth, and quickly swallowed it while holding his breath. He turned around and walked to the resting place, his back trembling.
Master Liao: “……” Maybe they will be knocked down by these wild fruits before they reach the end.
“Do you want to eat them? If not, give it to me.” Wei San asked Liao Runing after finishing the food in her hand.
Liao Runing wouldn’t eat them unless he was about to starve to death. He gave all his fruits to Wei San and took back two more: “I’ll give them to Xuanshan later.”
When Huo Xuanshan came back from his inspection, Liao Runing waved to him and handed over two fruits: “Xuanshan, this red fruit is very sweet and has a lot of water. However, the yellow fruit is a bit bitter and not very tasty.”
Huo Xuanshan looked up at him and Wei San, and finally chose the yellow fruit without hesitation and put it in his mouth.
“Hahaha, I told you that this fruit is not delicious, but you didn’t believe it.” Liao Runing pushed the red fruit to Huo Xuanshan, “Here, this one is sweet.”
Huo Xuanshan swallowed it forcefully and asked Wei San: “Is this sweet?”
Wei San neither nodded nor shook her head: “It’s not delicious.”
Hearing what she said, Huo Xuanshan took a bite of the red fruit with hesitation, feeling that it was so sour that he doubted his life.
“I told you it didn’t taste good.” Wei San raised her lips, and Liao Runing raised his hands and clapped in the air.
Huo Xuanshan: “……” He could already imagine how difficult the road ahead would be.
The patrol teams exchanged breaks to rest and replenish their strength. After Huo Xuanshan arrived, Liao Runing led another group of people to patrol the surrounding area.
Wei San stood by the stream and looked across.
