23, Reed
It was some herb called plantain, which was an anti-inflammatory medicine that was taken internally to treat fever and cold.
I remember when I was a child, my family was very poor, my parents went out to work, and Zhao Yunxiang stayed at my grandparents' house, and when I had a fever, my grandfather would boil a bowl of plantain herbal soup.
I remember that the color of the medicinal soup is yellow-green, and the taste is a little rushy, bitter and astringent, but it can indeed treat fever.
There are many plantain growing on the roadside in the countryside, and even if the village develops and builds a cement road, the plantain will grow out of the cracks in the cement.
This plant is tenacious and extremely common.
"What's wrong?" Han Qianluo looked at Zhao Yunxiang who was in a daze in front of him, and then also squatted down to inspect the plants on the ground.
The leaves of plantain grow towards the sides and have a long pole in the center above which are granular seeds.
The color of the seeds is yellow-purple after maturity, and the plantain in front of him has an outrageous pole in the center, and the seeds are also a little different from what Zhao Yunxiang knows.
It may be because of the desert island's summer seasons and special subtropical rainforest climate, the plants here are very fat.
Because of the rain that had just fallen, the ground was relatively moist, and when it was gently plucked, the plantain broke away from the soil along with its roots.
In total, a dozen plantain plants were collected, washed off the soil from the roots in a small river formed by the nearby rainwater, and then pocketed.
Keep going!
It didn't take long to come to the reeds, which were destroyed by the torrential rain, and even when the rain stopped, they were still staggering.
Because of the rainfall, the water in the original pool has increased dramatically, and now the water has completely swallowed the reeds.
This means that if you want to get the reeds, you have to risk getting wet.
Zhao Yunxiang was the first to walk into the reeds, the water here is not as deep as the ankles, and the mud under his feet is heavy, and he will gradually sink when he steps on it.
The silt here is jet black in color, smells, and is rancid.
"I'll help you. Han Qianluo looked at Zhao Yunxiang's sunken legs, when he just stepped into it, the water was not up to his ankles, and after a few seconds, the water was almost knee-high.
"No, I can do it myself!" Zhao Yunxiang's strength is quite strong, although the suction of the silt is strong, but it can't suck his legs.
The legs came out, but the shoes were steadily sucked into the mud, and the mud puddles that stepped on were slowly filled with water at the same time as he pulled out his feet.
The silt is too deep and somewhat dangerous.
"No, forget it, let's use palm leaves as a roof, right?" Han Qianluo frowned and asked.
"No need to ......" Zhao Yunxiang stretched out his hand, pulled his shoes out of the mud, washed them in the muddy water, and then put on his shoes.
Although the conditions are difficult, Zhao Yunxiang is not a person who easily admits defeat.
Since ancient times, nature has been cruel, because of some special reasons, nature will always give you problems, but the solution to the problem is also obtained from nature.
Human beings have always used technology to fight against nature, and we always want to conquer nature!
Coming out of the reeds, Zhao Yunxiang resisted a tree trunk not far away.
The trunk of this tree is two meters long, the legs are about the thickness of the legs, and there is a lot of bark on it, which must be a large tree that fell not long ago.
The tree was thrown into the reeds by Zhao Yunxiang, and then he stepped on the trunk, but this time it did not sink.
This is the reason for the force point and the force surface, just now Zhao Yunxiang stepped directly in the mud, his weight was about 150 catties, and these weights were all pressed on his feet.
Because the silt is soft, the stress points of the two feet are instantly swallowed by the silt.
And this tree trunk is two meters long, Zhao Yunxiang stepped on it, and the weight was scattered by the big tree, this force surface was too large, and the weight was not very heavy.
Therefore, when Zhao Yunxiang stepped on the trunk of the tree, there would only be a trace of sinking.
The foothold is OK, and then Zhao Yunxiang started the work of cutting reeds.
There were many reeds in the reeds, and the reeds that stood were turquoise, and the ones that fell to the ground were dry reeds.
Dry reeds are brittle and break when they are slightly gathered.
The dried reeds are very buoyant, and long ago, people used reeds to make boats across the sea, and it is said that a village on earth was built out of reeds.
That village floats above the water!
However, Zhao Yunxiang has kayaks, and if the kayaks are small, it doesn't matter, he also has a kun!
You must know that maltose is only level 8 now, and it has grown to 10 meters long, if it breaks through level 100, I really don't know how big it can be.
Is it really as described in the Book of Mountains and Seas, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is?
The harvesting of the reeds continues, and I have to say that the knife made of steel nails is indeed a bit shabby, the blade of this knife is too short, and sometimes, it is not possible to cut the reeds at once.
"We mainly collect these green reeds, which are not easy to break. Zhao Yunxiang used a knife to quickly cut off the reeds, the length of these reeds is about 2 meters, and it is beneficial to bring back some more.
"Okay, you stay safe. Han Qianluo stood on the shore, sorting out the large number of reeds handed over by Zhao Yunxiang, and the girl quickly tied them, a bundle of about 100 reeds.
Although the knife is not sharp, it is quite efficient to clear the reeds, and it doesn't take long to clear a large area.
With the rapid cleaning of the reeds, Zhao Yunxiang also found good things, in a reed swing not far ahead, there was a nest with 3 eggs in the nest!
Without thinking too much, this must be a sea duck's egg.
The eggs of sea ducks are similar to ordinary duck eggs, with grayish-blue shells stained with a lot of dry feces and a lot of dried blood.
You can see how painful the mother duck was at that time by the duck eggs.
For some reason, seeing these eggs, Zhao Yunxiang suddenly thought of a cartoon.
The big-headed son and the small-headed father, the greatest and most awesome in this cartoon is the apron mother.
Sure enough, it was forced out!
"Han Qianluo, look what I found!" Zhao Yunxiang picked up an egg and shook it towards Han Qianluo.
"Duck eggs!" Han Qianluo was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Have you seen a duck?"
"I didn't ...... But there are a lot of duck feathers in this nest, and it is believed that the female duck is nearby, probably out to feed. ”
These duck eggs should be delicious when they are boiled and eaten, but Zhao Yunxiang is a greedy person, and he wants to take the eggs and ducks together.
After a few thoughts......
Zhao Yunxiang plans to make a trap and make a few live buckle rope sleeves, hoping to catch the female duck.
The method of live buckle rope sleeve is simple, that is, to make a live buckle with bark, put it in the duck's nest at a tricky angle, and wait for the female duck to come back and stretch out its feet, maybe it can reach into the live buckle, and then under the drive of the mother duck, the live buckle is straightened, so that there is a certain chance of catching the duck.
Two traps were made, one end tied to a nearby tree, which used to live near a water source and has now been swallowed by water.
"Quack...... Quack ......"
As soon as the trap was made, I heard movement in the pool next to me, which seemed to be the sound of ducks.
Through the gaps in the loose reeds, Zhao Yunxiang saw a gray-yellow duck treading water in the pool, playing happily.
But then, something seemed to be swimming in the water, and then a large mouth appeared from under the water, and the duck was swallowed in an instant.
The scene of "!!" happened to be discovered by Zhao Yunxiang, who stared at the rippling water surface and frowned.
