Chapter 375: Too Stinky

Ah Duo picked a mango and said with a smile, “It’ll be ripe in a few days. When they’re all ripe, the birds and beasts in the mountains will eat all of them. How will we be able to eat them?”

Huang Zhong had never eaten a mango before. He took the mango from Ah Duo’s hand and sniffed it. He smelled a rich fragrance and said regretfully, “So it will take a few days before we can eat it.”

Ah Duo looked at the top of the tree and climbed up agilely.

Huang Zhong said worriedly, “Be careful.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Duo threw a huge mango at him. “Catch!” Huang Zhong hurriedly caught it, but Ah Duo threw another one down.

“Another one!”

Huang Zhong reached out to grab it. The moment the mango in his arms fell to the ground, the mango that Ah Duo had just thrown landed heavily on his head.

With a m.u.f.fled sound, Huang Zhong felt dizzy.

He quickly picked up the mango from the ground. The moment he looked up, Ah Duo’s bell-like laughter came from the tree.

A pair of bright eyes barged into his line of sight. Huang Zhong’s mind was blank. Ah Duo had already jumped in front of him and taken a mango with a golden skin from his hand. “This is ripe. You can eat it now.” The mangoes on the top of the trees had good light exposure and were often the largest and sweetest.

The peeled mango had thick flesh, rich fruit fragrance, and rich juice. Huang Zhong’s eyes lit up as he pushed it in front of Ah Duo. “You eat first.” Huang Zhong’s thoughtfulness made Ah Duo very happy. Suddenly, she kissed him on the cheek before taking a bite of the mango. “It’s very sweet.

It was unknown if she was talking about him or the mango.

Huang Zhong instantly turned into a ripe tomato. He glanced at her shyly, his heart filled with pink bubbles.

The mango was sweet and sour. Huang Zhong took a bite and was stunned by the exquisite taste.

He said excitedly, “The Consort will definitely like it!”

Ah Duo also liked Bai Wutong very much. Knowing that Bai Wutong was Huang Zhong’s savior, she liked her even more.

She said happily, “Let’s pick the big ones first. We’ll come back in a few days to pick the small ones. By then, the small ones will also become big ones.” This place was hidden. Ordinary people would definitely not discover this mango tree.

Huang Zhong agreed and picked an entire basket of mangoes with Ah Duo. On the way back, Ah Duo discovered a wild deer and she hurriedly chased after it. Huang Zhong followed behind her, panting with the basket on his back.

After running for a while, the wild deer still escaped.

Ah Duo looked disappointed. Such a big wild deer could be exchanged for a lot

of silver.

If she saved more, she could exchange for a big house with Huang Zhong. She still wanted to raise many animals in the backyard.

Huang Zhong was out of breath from running. Fortunately, his nose was sensitive. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to catch up.

Ah Duo saw that he was tired. “Let me carry it. You can rest for a while.” Huang Zhong shook his head firmly and stood up after catching his breath. Suddenly, he saw a huge cave in front of them. Countless Golden Silk Swallows were returning to their nests.

He sniffed and smelled something expensive, too.

If he was right, there were many expensive bird’s nests here.

The bird’s nest was nouris.h.i.+ng and could reduce aging. It was a good tonic for pregnant women.

In particular, the bird’s nest that the golden silk swallows built for the first time every year was crystal clear and nutritious. It was called official’s swallow in the palace and only the royal family could enjoy it.

Realizing that Huang Zhong was staring at the cave in a daze, Ah Duo said, “There are only rocks inside. There’s nothing inside. The birds on it are not delicious and it’s troublesome to deal with them. Let’s go back. We might even encounter wild boars on the way!”

Huang Zhong looked around the cave and found a place that was easier to climb to the top of the cave. He said to Ah Duo, “There’s bird’s nest here. 1 want to pick some. Wait for me here.”

“Swallow’s nest? You want to eat bird eggs? I can take you to the river to find wild duck eggs. They’re especially big and can even be made into a Central Plains’ delicacy – fluffy eggs and salted duck eggs!

As she spoke, she felt a craving. She wished she could fly to the river immediately.

Huang Zhong pointed at the bird’s nest and said, “I don’t eat the eggs inside. I’ll only pick a few bird’s nests. The bird’s nest is an expensive tonic that’s very good for the Consort’s health.” Afraid that Ah Duo would be jealous, Huang Zhong hurriedly added, “1’11 cook a bowl for you to try when we get back.” This was the first time Ah Duo had heard of bird’s nest being edible.

She said, “Don’t go up. It’s very dangerous!”

With that, she took a few steps forward to help Huang Zhong get the bird’s nest.

Huang Zhong quickly pulled her back. “It’s too dangerous. Forget it. Don’t go.” Even if they could reach the location of the bird’s nest, it was very steep.

Ah Duo smiled and said, “It’s fine. I’ll be done soon.

Huang Zhong suddenly had an idea. “Don’t go, don’t go. I have a way.” He put down the basket on his back and cut off an old bamboo. After shaving off the leaves, he could use it to poke at the bird’s nest.

Ah Duo kept praising Huang Zhong for being smart, as if he had done something earth-shattering. It even made Huang Zhong proud of himself. The bamboo was very straight and heavy. The two of them picked it up and knocked down a dozen bird’s nests.

The texture of each bird’s nest was crystal clear and snow-white.

Ah Duo said in surprise, “It’s so beautiful! This kind of bird is too good at building houses. Not only can it stay inside, but it can also be eaten.” Huang Zhong smiled and said, “If you like it, well come again next time.” Ah Duo was puzzled. “Are we going back just like that? Aren’t we going to get more? Didn’t you say that these things are very expensive?” Huang Zhong said honestly, “1 want to give some to the Consort. Well keep some for ourselves. If we sell them at the market and others find out that there’s bird’s nest here, the birds will suffer a calamity.” After Huang Zhong finished speaking, he was a little worried that Ah Duo would think that he was troublesome. Unexpectedly, Ah Duo actually hugged him. “You’re too kind. I thank you on behalf of the birds!”

Huang Zhong did not know where to put his hands and could not even speak anymore, causing Ah Duo to hug him and kiss him again.

Ah Duo’s feelings were like a hot flame. Huang Zhong was like a roasted tomato that finally melted until there was nothing left.

They took a different path back to the camp. Huang Zhong suddenly smelled a rich stench. It was undoubtedly a huge torture to his sensitive nose.

As they continued walking, the smell became stronger and stronger. Huang Zhong finally couldn’t take it anymore and put on his mask.

Ah Duo looked in the direction of the smell and immediately said happily, “There are Stinky Fruits here!”

Huang Zhong followed All Duo in and saw a huge fruit hanging on a tree dozens of meters tall.

If it fell and hit his head, it would definitely leave a b.l.o.o.d.y hole.

Huang Zhong felt fl.u.s.tered at a glance and wanted to pull Ah Duo to the side. Ah Duo’s eyes lit up. “The Stinky Fruit smells bad, but it tastes good. It’s like the cake made by the Consort. It’s soft and fragrant. The priest also likes it very much. I’ll go up and pick one and bring it back.”

Huang Zhong widened his eyes in disbelief. Could such a smelly thing really be eaten?

Ah Duo climbed up the tree in two or three moves, grabbed onto a stinky fruit, and smashed it to the ground.

“Clack-”

The Stinky Fruit cracked, and so did Huang Zhong.. It was too smelly!
