Chapter 1830 Arriving at Boyang City
As soon as Liu Xing heard the word "stone", he felt a dull pain in his waist.
"You should also know that the water quality in Chengdu is on the hard side. To put it bluntly, it is easy to get various kinds of stones. Therefore, nine out of ten people in my parents' generation have suffered from stones, especially my daughter. Auntie, the number and size of the stones can be used in textbooks! Therefore, I have always thought that I might get stones, even though I started drinking bottled water when I was about ten years old."
Liu Xing touched his waist, shook his head and said: "Stones don't sound like much, because in many people's subconscious, these stones should be similar to sand, at most the same as gravel on the roadside, but most of them The stones that require surgery must be at least about the size of half a pinky finger...so we'd better drink more hot water."
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Yin En immediately asked: "Besides the fact that patients don't like to drink water, the biggest influencing factor for stones is the local water quality. For example, the water quality in my hometown is very good. Not many people will get stones, but there are more dental problems, probably because of the local sugar production."
"No, the main reason why modern people have so many dental problems is because they eat too well."
Liu Xing said with a smile: "In ancient times, such as the martial arts world we live in now, food processing was definitely not as good as the real world. Firstly, it was the difference in processing tools, and secondly, it was people's pursuit of quality of life. There are differences, so the bagged rice and bulk rice sold in supermarkets are basically processed; there are also flours and the like, which are even more processed, which leads to differences between modern people and ancient people. The diet structure has changed a lot, and staple food is the top priority. After all, most people eat staple food every day, except for those who are losing weight and like to eat salads and the like."
"So the staple food eaten by modern people is more refined than that of ancient people, but the burden on the teeth is also greater, because to use an unreliable analogy-the staple food is similar to sandpaper, the more refined the staple food is. The more equivalent to those high-grit sandpapers, the more obvious the polishing effect on teeth, which means the higher the degree of wear; and finely processed rice noodles are more likely to adhere to residues on teeth, leading to tooth decay and tooth decay. , so after arriving in modern times, dentistry gradually developed."
Hearing what Liu Xing said, Zhang Jingxu nodded and said: "I've heard that too, and there are also some creatures in nature that prepare extra sets of teeth. For example, sharks reserve teeth for themselves so that they can replace their teeth throughout their lives; of course, these teeth The number of teeth is also related to evolution, because the number of teeth can tell the average lifespan and food intake of the creature. After all, many creatures lose their teeth after old age...including us humans."
"Yes, our human teeth were actually sufficient a hundred years ago, or it has been this way for thousands of years. As long as you pay attention to daily oral hygiene, you don't need to worry too much about dental problems; but recently The changes that have taken place in the past hundred years have made it obvious that our human teeth are not enough, but this time is not enough for us to evolve more spare teeth... Of course, there is one thing to say, I think we humans are still It is better not to have so many spare teeth, because you should also know that when children change their teeth, the new teeth are not newly grown, but have already been hidden under the original teeth, so the replacement teeth are just the lower teeth holding the top ones. The teeth are pushed out, which is also the reason why wisdom teeth occur frequently."
"Hahaha, these wisdom teeth are like those deep-sea fish. Because there is no light at all in the deep sea, so no one can see each other, so the appearance is not important. Everyone can grow as long as they want, and the shape of the fish will be the same. Yes, so..."
Zhang Jingxu's words stopped abruptly, and then he fell into deep thought, which also made Liu Xing and the other three people on the side look confused.
After a while, Zhang Jingxu suddenly said: "When it comes to teeth, I think of that sworn enemy of mine. Doesn't he also wear a wolf tooth necklace? Now I suddenly realized that wolf tooth There is a blood line on it, which is the signature feature of the Blood-fang Wolf!"
Blood-toothed wolf?
Liu Xing and Yin En looked at each other, because neither of them had any information about this blood-toothed wolf in their memories.
Could this be another Warcraft?
Ding Kun thought for a moment before he said: "The Bloodfang Wolf is not a magical beast, but a forest wolf with great strength! They will only live in the Ice and Fire Forest to the north of the New Dragon Empire. This forest The north is covered with ice and snow, while the south is a tropical rain forest; the reason for this is that there is a giant hot spring that is always boiling in the south, so the heat generated melts the snow, forming a It’s a natural sauna, and the humidity and temperature conditions are similar to those in the Amazon rainforest.”
"This Blood-toothed Wolf will live in the south of the Ice and Fire Forest when it is young. After all, it is too cold in the north. However, since the food source in the south is mainly various insects, these small bugs are rich in nutrients but difficult to chew, like They are like melon seeds, so this blood-toothed wolf needs to replace three sets of teeth before it grows up. The point is, from the name of the blood-toothed wolf, you can see the characteristics of their teeth! Yes, this is the beginning of maturity. The blood-toothed wolf in the early period has a mouthful of red teeth, which looks very intimidating. This is also in line with the characteristics of them living in the tropical rain forest. After all, rainforest creatures either blend in with the environment, or they look very bright and make others Afraid of myself.”
"When they were young, the blood-toothed wolves were quite good. They would eat small bugs if they had nothing to do. Occasionally, they would catch a mouse or something for tooth sacrifice, so their teeth at this time were not so arrogant, and they just had a blood line. That's all, but as time goes by, every time the Blood-toothed Wolf changes its teeth, the blood lines on its teeth will become more obvious; so Zhang Jingxu, if your character card is not dazzled, then you have a lot of enemies, because this If the blood-toothed wolf's first tooth falls out naturally, the blood line will disappear because the blood line is simply a blood vessel."
"So if you want to get a wolf tooth with a blood line, then the wolf tooth cannot fall off naturally, and you cannot remove the blood-toothed wolf first and then extract the tooth, because the blood line will be lost by then; and then the blood line will be lost. Blood-fang wolves are a kind of social creature. Although their strength is not as good as those of Warcraft, with the bonus of terrain, the combat effectiveness of these blood-fang wolves can be compared with that of tigers in the real world, and this is a group of tigers; and there is this Blood fangs are not just decorations, they can actually be compared with poisonous snake fangs! Yes, if an ordinary person is bitten by a blood fang wolf, the probability of contracting septicemia will increase by 80%!"
Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but said: "In this way, Zhang Jingxu's enemy is really not simple. First of all, the environment of this tropical rain forest is not very friendly to us humans. First of all, it is physically difficult to Secondly, it is easy for various poisonous creatures to appear in this tropical rainforest; then, this group of real tigers and wolves will deal with you at home, and most people should not be able to perform their best here. It has some strength, because many weapons cannot be used in the rain forest, and they are easily disarmed by trees."
"Yes, I heard that this line of wolf teeth is only sold in a few big cities. Because this thing is too precious, not many people can afford it. Of course, there is another problem with these wolf teeth. It has no function in itself, it is just a decoration, so practical people will not buy it.”
Zhang Jingxu frowned and said: "So this seems a bit strange. Logically speaking, the person I saw should be a minion, or at most a squad leader, so the force he belongs to must have some benefits. So that he can also afford a line of wolf fangs? Now I very much suspect that that force may be related to a certain prince, because only they can cultivate such a valuable force."
"Probably. This Ice and Fire Forest is actually very close to the royal hunting ground. Therefore, if you want to go to the Ice and Fire Forest except for the royal family members, you have to take a long way around and walk more than twice the distance. Therefore, many people often want to take shortcuts. , but was caught by the guards of the Royal Hunting Ground. It seems that Zhang Jingxu, who has both good looks and savvy, has to pay a high price! I estimate that your enemies will definitely discover your traces in the future. Then they will come to trouble us." Yin En said with certainty.
"Perhaps, but this is a blessing rather than a curse. It is a curse that cannot be avoided."
Yin En shook his head and opened the window on his side to get some air, because the temperature had already risen. Without ventilation, the carriage would become a steamer.
However, because the window was open, the sound insulation effect of this carriage was greatly reduced, so Liu Xing and others could not talk about super travel topics anymore, because the coachman outside could easily hear them.
So at this time, Liu Xing and others chatted with each other in a tacit understanding, or looked at the scenery outside.
The journey was uneventful.
Liu Xing and others soon came to Junxiang, and this time under Yin En's strong request, Liu Xing and others came to Lin Laosi's home together after promising not to talk nonsense.
After confirming that Yin En's parents had agreed to the marriage, Lin Laosi happily brought Liu Xing and others to Wen Jing's home. At this time, because it was already time to work in the fields, the Wen family's home was Only Wen Jing is taking care of her bedridden father.
After some exchanges, Yin En and Wen Jing's marriage was officially finalized, and they were determined to get married at the end of the month.
Yes, this wedding day is also special, because the martial arts module will enter a new stage the next day. By then, as long as weapons are everywhere, Yin En will have a better reason to keep a distance from Wen Jing.
Of course, Yin En did not forget that he and his party were still eager to go to Boyang City, so he told the reason that he had thought about for a long time. Both Wen Jia and Lin Laosi agreed with this. After all, everyone wanted to go to Boyang City. Quiet weddings can be taken to the next level.
So Liu Xing and others boarded the carriage again and headed towards Boyang City.
After finishing lunch, Liu Xing and others' carriage finally hit the road, and suddenly there were many pedestrians and carriages coming and going. Of course, the ones that worried Liu Xing the most were the people riding on them. They are tall and powerful heroes, carrying various weapons on their backs. Their temperament is indeed unique, giving Liu Xing the illusion that he is filming a TV series.
But when he arrived at the gate of Boyang City, Liu Xing was really surprised, because the walls of Boyang City must be at least five stories high, which is about fifteen meters!
Why does Liu Xing feel this way? It's because in Liu Xing's view, the wall of Boyang City in front of him is about the same height as his house in his hometown in the county, and that is a five-story building.
"Are the walls of Boyang City so high?"
Liu Xing couldn't help but murmur to himself, because as a lover of historical novels, Liu Xing knew that in ancient times only the walls of some important cities could reach this height.
In "Liu Peng's" memory, Boyang City was one of the largest cities near Heshan County, but it was not impressive when compared to the entire Xinlong Empire. It could only be regarded as a third-tier city at best.
Because the address of Zhangjiamen was in the suburbs of Boyang City, Liu Xing and others did not go into the city. After all, they had to pay the entrance fee when entering the city.
So after walking for a while, Liu Xing and others arrived at the door of Zhangjiamen before the sun set.
At this time, Zhang Yu was sitting at the door eating watermelon. When he saw Liu Xing and others getting off the car, he walked over with a smile.
"Haha, I knew you would arrive here today, so I have packed up your room a long time ago. You can move in directly now."
Zhang Yu directly pulled Liu Xing and others into the Zhangjiamen.
Zhangjiamen is a typical sect layout. After entering the door, there is a martial arts training ground. At this time, there are still many people practicing with wooden dummies, and of course there are also people who are sparring. At this time, the people who are sitting in the martial arts training ground It was Zhang Ran, so he nodded when he saw Liu Xing and others, but he did not come over to see Liu Xing and others.
After walking through the martial arts training ground, Liu Xing and others passed by the main hall of Zhangjiamen, but it was closed at this time, so Liu Xing could not see what was going on inside.
Go around the main hall and continue walking. On the left is Zhangjiamen's dormitory, and on the right is the guest room where Liu Xing and others will stay. In fact, it is a large courtyard, and it looks like it is well decorated.
"There is a kitchen in the yard, and some ingredients have been prepared in it, so you can make your own meals. Of course, if you don't want to cook, you can also eat with us!"
