Chapter 33: Catching the Wild Boar
I thought about what that joke was about.
"The story goes like this, in a water area with crocodiles, there was a boss who put up an advertisement, and whoever dared to jump in and come out alive would give one million, and if he couldn't get up, he would give five million. ”
"And then?"
Just when the boss was about to mock everyone for being cowards, a man jumped down with a loud shout! ”
After hearing this, Nie Chunxian's mouth opened slightly, feeling a little incredible, and said, "There are still people in the world who love money so much?"
I took a sip of pine needle tea to moisten my throat and said, "That man got a million, but he yelled, 'Who pushed Lao Tzu down just now!', and then her wife said leisurely, 'I pushed it.'" ’”
Therefore, behind every successful man, there will be such an excellent woman who pushes you at a critical moment......
The joke has connotation, with a certain amount of sarcasm.
Nie Chunxian tasted it after listening to it, the meaning expressed in this is really not simple.
"Now you know what a woman's heart needle is, right? It's not only elusive, it's also very vicious. ”
Xiao Qian on the side said viciously, it seems that this joke should not be said on such an occasion where the number of female compatriots is more than that of male compatriots.
"Ahem, it's not too early, let's rest. ”
Nie Chunxian coughed and beckoned everyone to rest, and glared at me fiercely when he stood up.
Maybe it's because my hair has become supple after washing, Nie Chunxian's hair always pokes my neck, and I feel so uncomfortable.
"Don't move, press my hair. ”
"I'm just scratching the itch......"
To say that usually, Nie Chunxian's words are very much, but in this situation, it seems that there is no difference between men and women.
Midnight.
I slept soundly, but Nie Chunxian woke me up.
"Grandma, what are you doing here?
"I ......"
Nie Chunxian's face was a little embarrassed, and he said, "I'...... I want to make it easier, but I'm afraid of the dark. ”
The implication is that I have to accompany her to make it easier.
On the day I first came here, someone suggested building a simple latrine, but that didn't work, and human excrement might attract other animals, so I had to find a place to dig a hole to solve the problem.
The night is not all, everyone can be as patient as possible without going to the toilet.
I took the shovel and took Nie Chunxian to a place about a hundred meters away from the camp, which happened to be the downwind outlet.
"No, I'll be waiting for you in the distance. ”
I handed her the shovel and turned away, staying five meters away from her, because the moonlight was not bad and the visibility was quite good.
So I had to turn my back to her, and I didn't want to look at the girl's convenience and get a needle's eye.
One of the bad things in the woods, especially at night, is that there are more mosquitoes, and the campfires in the shelters are better.
'Smack!'
I slapped my arm on the shoulder, and it's been almost ten minutes, why hasn't this woman been okay?
"Are you alright? I'm almost bitten to death by mosquitoes. ”
"It's coming!"
After another two minutes, I finally heard the sound of shoveling dirt, and it seemed that it was over.
"There are so many mosquitoes in the forest. ”
On the way back, Nie Chunxian complained, although the mosquitoes didn't bite her when it was convenient just now, they kept buzzing in her ears.
"So you've been squatting for so long? I guess you've got bumps on your buttocks...... Ouch!"
Before I finished speaking, the shovel in Nie Chunxian's hand hit me on the leg.
", it hurts, you're too vicious!"
"Phew, who made your dog spit out ivory!"
The next morning, when I was washing, I saw that Xiaoqian had a few bags on her forehead, like mosquito bites.
"I was bitten by a mosquito last night, but now it doesn't hurt. ”
Seeing me staring at her, Xiao Qian couldn't help touching her forehead and explaining with a smile.
"It's very likely that this kind of mosquito in the forest is carrying some virus, pure immortal, you can take some medicine and rub it on her in a while. ”
"Virus?"
Hearing the news, Xiao Qian was taken aback.
Nie Chunxian's face also changed slightly, she seemed to have been bitten by a mosquito on the back of her hand when she went to the convenience last night, and now she couldn't help but look at the red dot on the back of her hand.
"It's just possible, it doesn't mean it must be, but for safety reasons, you still take medicine and wipe it. ”
I was bitten by a mosquito myself last night, so I looked for mosquito repellent herbs in the woods, and I remember that there was a sage that could repel mosquitoes and treat mosquito bites.
I just don't know if this place has one.
When picking wild vegetables, I told Xiaoqian and a few of them to pay attention to whether there was sage.
"What does a sage look like, is it the same as a mouse's tail?"
Xiao Qian was a little curious about this.
"No, no, no, it's kind of like a dog's tail grass. In short, let's pay attention to plants that resemble dog's tail grass. ”
We had an unexpected harvest when we were picking wild vegetables.
"Look! It's a banana!"
Nie Chunxian pointed to a certain place and shouted excitedly.
We found plantain trees with bananas on them, but unfortunately they were all still green and looked inedible.
In fact, bananas should be picked when they are still green, but that is when there is a ripening agent, and other times if you want to eat bananas, you still have to wait for them to ripen naturally.
There were about dozens of bananas in that bunch, and I picked one and peeled it to taste it, and it tasted very astringent.
"How's it going? ”
Xiaoqian is very concerned about this problem, if she can eat it, it will be the first fruit on the desert island.
"The taste was so astringent, my tongue was numb. But you can still eat it if you want to, and you can eat it when it's cooked. ”
"Boiled bananas? That's a dark dish. ”
Although Xiaoqian is a foodie, she refuses to cook darkly.
Nie Chunxian looked at the bananas hanging on the banana tree, if he didn't pick them, they might be eaten by other animals.
"I haven't eaten boiled bananas yet, so I can improve my food for everyone. ”
Since Nie Chunxian wants to eat it, then I'll pick it.
It's been five or six years since the last time I ate boiled bananas.
Today's lunch was to boil bananas and wild vegetables, and while I was cooking the food, I went to check the hunting traps, and there was not a single prey.
Trap hunting is like buying a lottery ticket depends on luck, it seems that I have to change my hunting method from passive hunting to active hunting.
"I saw the palm fronds just now, and that thing is what wild boars like to eat, and I think we can catch a wild boar. ”
By the fire, I peeled a banana and said what I thought.
The deputy captain ate a banana and said, "If you can catch a wild boar, you can eat it for several days, but the question is how to catch it?"
