There is a high ground by the river, which is just right for camping.

While the sky was still bright, Yang Shubao instructed the Timit to set up a tent, and he and Kurutantan poured water on Benson's face, trying to use cold water to stimulate his facial nerves to wake him up as soon as possible.

The Tirmites were industrious, and they set up four tents and went fishing in the river.

Yang Shubao saw that Benson had no intention of waking up for a short time, so he gave up sprinkling water: "I'm also going to catch fish, if you have nothing to do, continue to wash his face, otherwise you might as well rest by yourself." ”

Kurutan smiled: "No problem, you can go." ”

The grass grows under the open hillside, because it is close to the river, these weeds grow quite abundantly, and still remain green, and the mountain wind blows through the lush weeds layer by layer, like blue waves.

It's not the blue wave of laundry detergent.

Yang Shubao looked at the banks of the river, at this time there was still green grass on both banks, and the grass in other places was withered yellow, so that the green grass belt that stretched out was like two green ribbons, adding a bit of vitality to the boring grassland.

There are trees by the river, very tall trees, they can grow to more than 20 meters, the trunk can reach more than 2 meters, and they are scattered on the river bank like a giant standing in the wilderness.

Tall, majestic, rugged, lonely.

The Timites stood by the river in twos and threes ready to hunt fish, they did not bring fishing gear, the fish hunters even had homemade spears in their hands, their little arms raised their spears and aimed at the river, this is preparing to spearfish.

Yang Shubao shouted to signal them to be careful, he went down to see if there were any leeches on the riverbank, and the dense swarm of leeches yesterday really impressed him.

Fortunately, there were no leeches around this section of the river, and he dug up several places and found no trace of leeches.

The Timit stood by the river in wonder and watched him dig in the dirt, and Uncle Yang smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me, continue to catch fish." ”

The river is wide and shallow, there will be no big fish in this environment, Yang Shubao rolled up his trouser leg and walked into the water, feeling that he had stepped on something, very slippery and round.

He looked down and said, hey, there's mussels in the river.

Seeing this, he hurriedly fished out the river mussels and showed them to the Timites: "Don't catch fish, there are no big fish here, but there are river mussels, hurry up and catch river mussels, and I will make river fresh soup for you later." ”

The group of them touched the river, the river has flowed for thousands and hundreds of years, there are no otters and no beavers here, so the river mussels have no natural predators, they have accumulated a lot, but they are hidden under the mud and sand and it is difficult to detect.

Yang Shubao used the soles of his feet to probe it, and when he stepped on something slippery and round, he reached out and touched it, and he could always find a river mussel.

However, once he miscalculated, after stepping on it, he reached out and touched it, and he touched a skull, I don't know if it was a gazelle or the upper half of the skull.

The bare skull was pale in color, and Yang Shubao took it in his hand and looked at it and threw it away.

As the sun sets, the sky begins to darken.

Yang Shubao beckoned to take the Timit people ashore, and there were a number of river mussels on the bank, I am afraid that there would be four or five hundred.

He had some spare time to start processing the mussels, and he had to pry their shells open.

The closed muscles of wild river mussels are very developed, and the strength of the Timmite people cannot open the closed mussel shells, but Yang Shubao and Ma Long have more strength, and the two of them use daggers to pry open the mussels one by one.

The river here is very clean, and there is no fear of pollution from mussels, but there is inevitably mud and sand in it.

Yang Shubao directly pulled out the stomach of the river mussel, he specially picked a large river mussel to deal with, the small river mussel is not easy to exert force, he is going to use it to make river mussel soup, do not eat meat and only drink soup.

There were vegetables on the truck, and he bought some vegetables in Petersburg and put them in a crisper box that would last for a few days, and now there were spinach, broccoli, snow peas, and so on.

He took out the spinach to stew the mussel meat, rummaged through it and found some chili peppers that he had bought to supplement vitamins, and then hung up the pot to prepare a spicy stir-fried river mussel meat.

Kurutantan inspected the small mound, and he found something on a nearby mound, and shouted at Yang Shubao: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang come and take a look, see what I found?"

Yang Shubao teased casually: "Gold?"

Kurutan smiled, "No, it's platinum. ”

The small mound is surrounded by large shrubs and acacia trees and fig trees, but it is very green.

During the day, Yang Shubao also wanted to set up camp on this highland, but later felt that there were too many green plants here, and he was afraid that there would be more insects and ants, so he found another mound for safety.

He was not mistaken, and when he walked up to the mound, he found a nest of termites erected on it, and it was this termite nest that Kurutantan had found.

Yang Shubao asked, "What's so happy about you finding termites?"

Kurutan smiled happily: "This is not an ordinary termite, Mr. Yang, this is our Bushman white rice. ”

The Bushman people are the Bushman people, and they will use the prefix 'Bushman' when calling some tribal unique items, for example, the Bushman knife, the meat cleaver of the Mulberry people, and the big clothes made of animal skins of the Mulberry people are called Bushman robes.

There were many termites crawling in and out of the nest, and Kurutantan carefully grabbed some and put them in his palm, and then raised his head and ate them.

Yang Shubao was immediately stunned: "You eat termites?"

Kurutantan smiled happily: "Say, this termite is edible, rich in protein and sugar, because they like to eat fruits, nectar and acacia gums, and their bodies contain a lot of substances necessary for our human body, so we call it Bushman rice." ”

Yang Shubao also ate ants when he was a child, but not termites but ants - termites are not ants.

They were naughty when they were young, and they would catch a large black ant, which is a common Asian ant with the scientific name of the Bowback ant.

This kind of big ant has a big belly, and the water in it has a pungent taste after pinching it, and their friends say that it is called ant wine, and they catch the ants and squeeze them to drink, and there will be a hot taste when they drink it.

At that time, this saying was popular in his hometown, and the friends didn't really drink alcohol to find ant wine.

Of course, now Yang Shubao knows that it is a calf, and the hunchback ant is not a drink but formic acid in the stomach, and the reason why it will be hot in the mouth is that formic acid is corroding the oral mucosa.

However, they don't really eat ants, but squeeze formic acid, and now Kurutantan eats termites directly, and what they eat is relish.

Not only did he eat it himself, but he also grabbed some for Yang Shubao very righteously.

Yang Shubao said politely: "You can just eat, I don't like to eat rice, I'm tired of eating." ”

You'll get sick if you eat indiscriminately!

Wild animals, wild insects, especially not to be eaten indiscriminately!

Illness comes from the mouth, this is the golden rule left by the ancestors.

Kurutantan is different from ordinary San people, he and Golden Shield are classmates, they have studied at university, and they have an understanding of the history, geography and culture of countries around the world.

He knew some of the situation in Northeast China, and after listening to Yang Shubao's words, he sighed: "Your living environment is really good, I know that your hometown is a famous rice-producing area, and you must eat all-you-can-eat rice from snacks." We can't do it here, our kids eat rice as a snack. ”
