Chapter 40: Celery

Tuya blocked Ye Ke behind him without a trace, "This is the tribesmen on the periphery of the tribe, they are all old and disabled males, and according to the rules, they are going to move here." ”

It is an unwritten rule of each tribe that people who are unable to work cannot stay in the tribe and live with the majority of the tribe, except that there are more people on the periphery of the "source tribe" than other tribes.

"I don't feel very safe here~" Ye Ke glanced over there a few more times, and didn't say anything, after all, the living environment of this world is not something she can control.

"Let's go. Tuya also glanced over there a few times, and her eyes darkened.

It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the forest near the tribe, and the trees on the edge were not very tall, but a little inward was just covering the sky and the sun.

The tall trees in the rainforest should be trees, and their leaves are delicate, whether large or small, with pointed tails all over the edge, but because the climate has become arid, they are a little dry and yellow.

Ye Ke remembered that when he first crossed over, the trunks of the trees in the depths of the rainforest were as thick as a few people hugging each other.

Looking at these thick and straight tree trunks, I secretly sighed, if these trees can be processed, maybe we can build a wooden house or something, but those fine processing is difficult to achieve.

Although the claws of the clansmen are very sharp, they can't directly split the wood into planks, and they shook their heads with pity, and saw that there were tender yellow flowers on one side of these thick trunks, and Ye had never seen such a special tree.

Generally accustomed to the flowers of trees, which bloom on the branches, the trees in the rainforest are somewhat distinctive, flowering and bearing fruit on the thick stems.

But after thinking about it, I was relieved, after all, the tree still needs insects to pollinate it, and the tree is too tall for insects to touch, so it simply blooms in the middle layer of insect activity.

Raised his head and looked at it for a long time, his neck was a little tired, he looked at Tuya on his side, and he was also learning from her to look up, her mouth was still wide open, Ye Ke smiled dumbly, and said, "Let's be here." ”

Then another man found a stick, and from time to time pulled at the nearby bushes, for fear that some snake or other animal would suddenly appear.

The ground of this forest is covered with a layer of bryophytes, and there are many rotten leaves, and the black water is a little slippery when you walk slowly.

After pulling a place, Ye Ke stopped, and all he could see were ordinary low shrubs and ferns, and there was really no small animal, 'No wonder the dry season is coming, such dense vegetation, there is no animal.' ’

It's just that there are no other plants here except ordinary vegetation, and the leaves are on a tree trunk, and I pulled a handful of leaves from the lower part of the tree, which seems to be a little different from the previous ones, the small leaves are oval, different from the leaves I just saw, this edge has shallow serrations, but the tail end is also pointed.

Put a few pieces into the space:

Name: Autumn maple

Category: Semi-evergreen large tree

Efficacy: The leaves can treat nameless swelling and poison, and the root has the effect of dispelling wind and reducing swelling, and can treat rheumatism and bone pain, dysentery, etc.

"Hmm~" Ye Ke looked at the leaves in his hand thoughtfully, "Sure enough, it is still an arbor, but it also has medicinal value." ’

The most important of these is to treat rheumatism, Ye Ke thought, after living in the cave for a long time, there will definitely be people who will get rheumatism, 'just how to dig this root?'

Looking at the autumn maple tree behind him, with no crown in sight, and then at its thick roots that were partially exposed to the ground, I don't know if this tree has any small plants, but I can only dig up a few relatively small roots. ’

"Tuya, this way!" Ye Ke called Tuya on the other side, who was always paying attention to the movements around him.

I saw Tuya running over at a very fast speed, with a worried face, "What's the matter, Lord Witch Doctor, what's wrong?"

"Nothing happened. Ye Ke looked at Tuya with a nervous face, patted her comfortingly, and continued, "Tuya, let's dig one of the roots of this tree back, it can cure leg pain." ”

"Leg pain?" Tuya tilted her head and pointed to her knee again, "Does it hurt here?"

"Well, yes, are there many people in the tribe who have swollen joints and pain?" Ye Ke said as he walked around the autumn maple tree, wanting to see if there were any small trees that had just grown around.

Most of the people in the valley are in good health, but there are a few people who have a dull pain in their knees because of the climate and the occasional cold and damp of the cave.

The old, weak, sick and disabled living on the periphery of the tribe basically all have severe rheumatism, but they don't understand that this is a disease, and they think that because of their disability, they can't work, and they are slowly condemned by the beast god.

As if thinking of something, Tuya was silent for a moment, and followed Ye Ke around the neighborhood, and finally the two found a slender autumn maple root, half of which was exposed on the ground, and half was still buried in the ground.

"I'll come..."Tuya's two big hands grabbed the root of the tree hard, and pulled it out vigorously, "Wow!" pulled out the underground section, it seemed that he used too much force, and sat down on the ground from behind, "Uh~" She thought silently in her heart, "It turned out that the witch doctor was too small, and she thought it would take a lot of strength." ’

patted the animal skin and stood up, looked at Ye Ke was trotting over with worried eyes, and immediately said, "I'm fine..."

"Well, thank you Tuya. Ye Ke tied the roots of the tree into a ball and put them on the animal leash, and picked some leaves in the lower places, thinking that he would have to go back and try to see if the medicinal roots and leaves were effective, but the roots and leaves were used for dressing or eating, and the system did not mark them.

After walking in one direction for a while, Ye Ke looked at a plant and exclaimed, "Oops!" She saw a very familiar plant not far away, and hurriedly ran over, and smelled the familiar smell, "This is celery!"

Although the length is still a little different from the celery sold in the previous vegetable market, the stems and leaves are still very similar, and the taste is also the taste in memory.

Name: Cress

Category: Herbs

Efficacy: This kind is a high-yield wild aquatic vegetable, fried with tender stems and petioles, its taste is delicious, and it has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, moistening the lungs and promoting dampness.

Sure enough, it was celery. After Ye Ke came here, she hadn't eaten vegetables for a long time, although she didn't like vegetables before, but she ate all kinds of meat every day, and it was good to change the taste occasionally.

Just as she happily folded the cress off and put it into the animal skin bag, there was a sound of wind not far away, and the sound of "quack" sounded behind her, as well as Tuya's shout, "Lord Witch Doctor, get out of the way~"
